Rumors are like this; the more you try to suppress them, the faster they spread. Although the homeroom teacher forbade students from spreading rumors, the news quickly spread throughout the entire grade, even the whole school, and eventually, some teachers even believed it.
The homeroom teacher had a talk with Feng Yu, wanting him to clarify the situation, but Feng Yu shook his head. Rumors stop with the wise, and the innocent will be clear on their own. He was too lazy to argue.
Anyway, it didn't cause him too much trouble, and he had more time to think about his big money-making plan.
The advertisement in the neighboring province was out, but the neighboring province was a poor one, with an economy even worse than Longjiang. The development level of the provincial capital was also at the bottom nationwide.
Although some people came to check it out, not many bought cars. Just as Feng Yu was getting impatient and preparing to advertise in Shenyang again, a big boss who spoke Cantonese came to the company.
"Hello, Mr. Feng is really young and capable."
"Hello, hello, Mr. Fu is from Hong Kong?"
"Does Mr. Fu understand English?" Feng Yu asked again.
Feng Yu nodded and then spoke in fluent English: "I heard that Mr. Fu is interested in my second-hand luxury car business and wants to buy more to sell in the south?"
Feng Yu really couldn't stand this kind of Cantonese Mandarin.
Fu Guangzheng was stunned for a moment. This Mr. Feng's English was actually so good? He had heard that this Mr. Feng did business with the Soviets and didn't need a translator, saying he understood Russian. How old was he, and he was proficient in two foreign languages?!
"Mr. Fu, Mr. Fu?" Feng Yu raised his voice.
"Oh, sorry. I do plan to buy some British second-hand luxury cars to sell in the south. How many does Mr. Feng have?"
"Sixty to seventy, all about 70-80% new. How many does Mr. Fu plan to buy?"
"If they are really 70-80% new and the price is right, I'll take them all!" Fu Guangzheng smiled. Sixty to seventy cars, even if he only made 30,000 to 50,000 per car, that would be 2 to 3 million in profit. Moreover, he estimated that the profit per car would be far more than 30,000 to 50,000.
Feng Yu raised an eyebrow; he was indeed a wealthy man. However, he still had some doubts. In this era, news of people from Lingnan pretending to be Hong Kong businessmen to scam money was not uncommon.
First, they would paint a big picture, then take your goods or money, and disappear without a trace.
But Fu Guangzheng's English was good, and he seemed to have received higher education in Hong Kong. His demeanor and speech also showed good upbringing, making him at least 80% credible.
"Mr. Fu is generous, but my cars are not cheap. Even at wholesale prices, the average price per car is this much." Feng Yu made a gesture with his hand, indicating the number four.
Fu Guangzheng didn't say yes or no, but asked, "When can you deliver the cars, and they must be refurbished?"
"Of course, but I don't handle loading and transportation. Also, these cars have no documentation, so you'll have to handle that yourself." Local sales were easy; with money, you could get a license plate.
But it was not so simple for out-of-town sales. Getting a license plate was not difficult, but transportation required passing through many checkpoints. Without documentation, if the cars were seized somewhere, who would you complain to?
Feng Yu was very clear about this. Fu Guangzheng hesitated for a moment and nodded, "I understand. When can you deliver all the cars?"
"The earliest would be two months from now. Currently, I only have about ten cars left, mostly sports cars. If you want these, I can deliver them now."
Feng Yu took Fu Guangzheng to the factory to see the batch of cars. Fu Guangzheng inspected each car inside and out. Although he couldn't really understand, he observed the expressions of others. They all seemed calm, indicating that the condition of these cars was indeed good and not problematic.
But to be safe, Fu Guangzheng decided to have some professionals inspect them. If they were just shiny on the outside but had many problems inside and broke down after a year, he would offend many people.
"Mr. Feng, can I bring some people to inspect the cars in a couple of days before making a decision?"
"Of course, I was going to suggest that anyway to avoid any misunderstandings later."
The batch of cars that Kirilenko found for Feng Yu were all only a few years old, at least 50% new. Feng Yu replaced the seats, tires, and other parts, repainted the exteriors, and hired two skilled mechanics at high salaries to inspect the car performance, ensuring that buyers wouldn't come back to him, affecting his reputation.
Although this increased the cost a bit, his profit was also high. He could make at least 100,000 to 300,000 per car.
They agreed that the next Sunday, Fu Guangzheng would bring people to inspect the cars on-site. If there were no issues, he would pay and transport the ten cars.
Back at the hotel, Fu Guangzheng asked someone to find a master mechanic and continued to inquire about old houses where he could find antiques.
Fu Guangzheng originally came to look for antiques. Northeast China was the base of the Qing Dynasty, so there must be many good things left. He could easily make ten to several dozen times the profit by selling ten to twenty pieces back to Hong Kong.
He had heard that Northeast China was very closed and people were very poor, so poor that they couldn't afford clothes or food, especially in the farthest city, Bingcheng. But after coming, he found it wasn't as bad as the rumors.
There were many factories here, with a strong industrial atmosphere. Although the living standards of residents were not high, they weren't so poor that they couldn't afford food. He even saw many small cars on the streets, not as many as in coastal cities, but more than in inland cities.
What surprised him most was that he saw a red Lotus sports car on the streets of Bingcheng!
This kind of sports car was not cheap. Even in Hong Kong, only very wealthy young men would buy it. He himself only drove a Crown.
Fu Guangzheng came from a prominent family in Hong Kong. His father had a net worth of over a billion, and his uncle had several billion. Unfortunately, he wasn't the eldest son, and his older brother was more capable, so he might only get a few million in the future.
His older brother's company was already worth over a billion, not due to his father's investment. His own company, however, was only worth a few million, which his mother had helped him get after much pleading.
They said that people who got rich in mainland China were all very capable and had connections. Hong Kong would be returned in a few years, and his family was very worried about policy changes. His father had been seeking contact with high-ranking officials in mainland China to ensure that the family's business would not be affected after the return.
From a young age, his mother had taught him to make friends who could help him in the future. This sports car owner was one such person. If he could befriend the owner of this sports car, his status in the family would certainly improve.
When he asked, the owner of the sports car turned out to be a man nearly forty years old. This man wasn't as impressive as he imagined; he was just a feed merchant. The car wasn't new either; it was second-hand and cost less than 500,000.
