At Beijing, there was someone who came to pass Feng Yu the return tickets. Feng Yu distributed the tickets to the family members of the students and the students left for their respective universities.

"Xiao Feng, you should go and report to your university." Li Na's father said.

"Uncle Li, I am not in a hurry. You have lots of luggage, and I only have a suitcase. Why not I send you all to Li Na's university first." Feng Yu said and helped Li Na carried her luggage to the bus that was going to Beijing Teaching University.

The universities in Beijing were much better. In that era, the universities had arranged for transportation to pick up their students from the Railway station. Even though the buses were old, but it was a convenience to the students.

Li Na's father grabbed the suitcase from Feng Yu: "Xiao Feng, we do not need your help. Look, someone is carrying the sign for Beijing University. You better go and report. Leave this luggage to us. We are able to cope."

Feng Yu raised his head, and his eyes met with Li Na's father. Her father had a threatening look in his eyes.

Damn, you are worried that your daughter would run away with me? Fine, although I wished for this to happen, it was still too early.

Hmmm…. Old Li must have noticed something. Didn't I hide my intentions well? But it doesn't matter. Anyway, he would know about our relationship sooner or later. This was an opportunity to let her father know about us. No matter what, I must send Li Na to her school!

Li Na suddenly said: "Dad, my arms are aching. Let Feng Yu help us since he does not have a lot of luggage. You alone also cannot carry so much stuff."

Feng Yu immediately put on a smiling face: "That's right. Uncle Li, it will be too tiring for you to carry everything by yourself. Let me help. Hi senior, we are from Beijing Teaching University. Is this the bus?"

"Beijing Teaching University? Hurry up this bus. The seats are filling up. This bus will send you to the university and still need to come back for a second trip. Beijing is too big. If there are no buses to fetch the students, many new students would be lost."

After boarding the bus, Feng Yu wanted to sit beside Li Na, but Li Na's father pushed him aside. He kept staring at Feng Yu. He was taking precaution against Feng Yu.

Never mind. We can still look at each other even when we are not sitting together!

"Eh, are you all from Bing City? I am from Sixth High School. I am in the English faculty." A girl turned around and smiled at Li Na.

I am from Third High School. I am also in the English Faculty. We will be classmates in the future. Maybe we will even be assigned to the same dormitory." Li Na smiled. If there was someone from the same city studying together, they could take care of each other.

"Is that your brother?" That girl pointed to Feng Yu.

Li Na stole a glance at her father and said: "No, he is my high school classmate. He will be going to Beijing University. He is just helping me with my luggage."

Your classmate? The girl thought for a while. She knew that it was not so simple. Which classmate would be so kind as to help with the luggage when they were from a different university. But that guy's result must be good to enter Beijing University.

"Humph, Na Na, the bus is starting. Sit properly." Li Na's father said with a frowned.

You introduce Feng Yu to your classmate, but you did not introduce me?

The bus was not traveling fast. Although the road conditions were not as good as the future years, there were not so many vehicles on the road. There were still many people riding bicycles.

1 hour later, the bus stopped at the University compound. The students from the student committee brought the freshmen to register and then to their respective dormitory, before coming back to take their luggage.

Li Na's father saw Feng Yu carrying the luggage and laughed coldly: "Xiao Feng, carry these two cases up too. My knees are aching."

Didn't you want to help? Then I shall let you help!

"Huh? Then uncle should rest and look after all these things. I will need to make a few trips to bring everything up."

Feng Yu slowly climb up the stairs with the two suitcases to Li Na's dormitory. He then came down again to carry the rest of the luggage.

The universities at this time had provided the students with a lot of things. There were bed sheets, blankets, face basin, towels, toothbrushes, etc. Everything was free!

After making a few trips, Feng Yu was covered in sweat.

When Li Na was about to pass Feng Yu a towel to wipe his sweat, her father appeared and took the towel from her. Her father wiped the "sweat" on his forehead.

Feng Yu embarrassedly retract his hands and laughed: "Let me help you unpack."

Li Na's father stopped Feng Yu again: "Xiao Feng, thanks for your help today. We can unpack ourselves. The bus is leaving for the railway station. You should get going."

Damn, you are chasing me off?

I had been carrying all the luggage, and I am still dripping with sweat, Can't you even let me rest here a while?

This future father-in-law was too difficult to handle. Fine. Anyway, I had already won your daughter's heart. She will be mine eventually!

"Uncle Li, that bus will only be leaving for the railway station 2 hours later. If I go out and wait now, then I have to stand under the sun for 2 hours."

Li Na's father hesitated. It would be quite mean of me to do that to him. Okay, fine. I will be around anyway. He also can't do anything for Li Na.

Feng Yu hurriedly help Li Na unpack her luggage. Li Na unpacked her clothes and kept all her cases under her bed.

The dormitory was for 8 people. It was all bunk beds. There was an old desk and on top was an old flask. There was not even a metal cabinet. The conditions were terrible.

In the future, all the universities had only the upper bunk beds. Below the beds were the cabinets, desk, and bookshelves. Some dormitories even have toilets and bathrooms attached.

Hmmm, later I must buy two boxes for Li Na. It will be easier for her to keep her things. Does the university allow me to renovate the dormitory?

At least there must be some bookshelves and a ladder to climb up the upper bunk. Railings should also be installed on the side of the top bunk beds to prevent the person sleeping there from falling down.

This blanket was not thick enough. The mattress must also be changed. Li Na also needs a mosquito net. At night, there should be lots of mosquitos. The hot water flask was also not enough. Later I have to get at least 8 to 10 hot water flask.

She is my girlfriend, and I must take good care of her. Hmmm, if I have time, I must also treat her classmates for dinner. This way, Li Na will not be bullied by them.

Li Na's father saw Feng Yu looking at his daughter's bed, and he was furious. What was this kid thinking? He wants to climb into my daughter's bed? I must give him a warning!

"Nana, you still remember what that student, who sent us here, said? The electrical supply to the dormitory is limited. At night, you should sleep after lights out and cannot use candles in case of fire. Also, keep your money safe. There are incidents where outsiders sneak in and steal money. Most importantly, don't mix with people who make use of the reason that you and he are from the same city!"

After saying this, Li Na's father stared at Feng Yu.

Feng Yu: "……"

Damn. What's the meaning of this? You are reminding Li Na to take precautions against burglars, fire and me?!

In the end, Feng Yu left grumpily. Before he left, he pointed to his pager on his waist. Feng Yu had already bought Beijing' pager before he came here. It was the one with Chinese characters. The pager charges were too high!

Feng Yu did not board the bus back to the railway station. He just flagged a taxi.

"Beijing University. Thank you."

The driver did not drive off. Beijing University was not far from Beijing Teaching University, but it was still over 10 kilometers away. The fare will not be cheap. How can a student afford? There were also a lot of poor students at Beijing University too!

Feng Yu took out 2 ten RMB notes: "Keep the change."

The taxi driver immediately drove off. It was his lucky day to meet a wealthy student. The diver had to drive more than 10 hours to earn this much. He wondered about the upbringing of this kid. Didn't his parents tell him to not be a spendthrift?

"Sir, is there any apartments for sale near Beijing University and Beijing Teaching University?"

When Feng Yu saw the state of Beijing Teaching University dormitory, he could have guessed how his dorm at Beijing University would be like. It must be old, and the windows might even be made of wood.

After Feng Yu started university, he wants to brainwash Li Na to achieve his desire to wash Li Na.

It would be too challenging to bring Li Na to a hotel for their first time. If he has a house here, then it will be much easier. Next year, it will be too late for Li Na's father to oppose their relationship.

Classes in university were more relaxed than high school. Beijing university now was also not as big as the future years. Feng Yu could just get a motorcycle, and he will not be late.

The driver nearly slammed the brakes. What? This kid still wants to buy an apartment?

Did these outsiders think that Beijing apartments cost as cheap as their countryside? Furthermore, the sales of private apartments had only started a few years ago. Who would want to sell their apartments to you?

"I am not sure. You can ask other people."

Feng Yu sighed. In the future, there will be housing agents everywhere. Where did all the housing agents go to now? Without housing agents, how would he buy an apartment?

His Beijing dealer was also not reliable. All the houses and apartments he recommended to Feng Yu was too far from his schools.

……

At Beijing University, Feng Yu carried his suitcase up the stairs to his dormitory slowly. He had used all his strength when he helped Li Na with her luggage. Luckily, he does not have lots of luggage. If he needs anything, he can just buy it. There were still a few stalls selling daily necessities outside the school.

"Hi everybody, I am Feng Yu. I am in the management faculty. I am from Bing City."

"You are finally here. All of us will be in the same class. We are all waiting for you. He is also from Bing City. You did not take the bus from the railway station?" Someone in his early 20s said, and he pointed to a shy looking classmate.

"You are also from Bing City? Then you must be Wang Lei of Sixth High School. I am from Third High School." There were only a few students from Bing City that entered Beijing University, and there was only one student that was on the same faculty with Feng Yu. Feng Yu had found out before coming to Beijing. He wanted to recruit this student to work for his company in the future.

Wang Lei stood up and stretched out his hand: "Hi. I know you. You are the one that was exempted from the entry exams. You are the same as our roommate Li Yong."

Feng Yu's exemption of the entry exams had spread throughout Bing City. Almost all the schools in Bing City had used Feng Yu to encourage their students.

All of Feng Yu's roommates introduced themselves and their age. That person in his early 20s stood up and said: "I am the oldest in our dormitory and I am also from Beijing. In the future, if any of you have any problems, you can come to me. I will help you."

Feng Yu looked at this "big brother". He was a few years older than the rest of them, and he should have failed the entrance exams several years. But this person was able to lead. He had some leadership skills. Maybe because he was also from Beijing. Since you said that you can help if we have any problems, then I shall see if you can help me.

"Tian Lei, are you familiar with the places around our school? Do you know if there are any apartments for sales nearby?"

Tian Lei had a shocked expression: "You want to buy an apartment? Why are you buying an apartment for? The rules in our dormitory are stringent. If any students did not return to the dormitory at night, they would be punished."

This Feng Yu was not that old, and from his dressing, Tian Lei knew that Feng Yu's family must be wealthy. The pager that was clipped on his waist was the latest model. But Tian Lei did not expect that this Feng Yu's family to be so wealthy to even want to buy an apartment for Feng Yu in Beijing. What if Feng Yu was posted back to his city and he can't sell off his apartment in Beijing?

"Of course, it is for me to stay. I have more things, and I am also lazy. I am not used to tidying my things. This dormitory will not be able for me to keep all my things. Don't worry. I will only go back to the apartment on weekends. I will still be staying here on weekdays."

Feng Yu still needs to take care of his businesses. With an apartment, he can use it as his office. Also, he can also bring Li Na over. This was his real reason.

"Ermmm…… I know on the West gate there are two newly built apartment buildings. But I am not sure if those apartments are for sales. I will help you ask. The military training camp will only start the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow I will help you ask around and give you an answer tomorrow evening."

Huh? He was so confident that he could get an answer tomorrow evening? That means this Tian Lei's family really have some connections in Beijing.

"Thank you. By the way, what activities had all of you planned?"

"We will all be classmates for the next 4 years. So, we decided to eat out and have some drinks together. We can also get to know each other better."

Feng Yu nodded. "Fine. Since I made all of you waited for so long, it will be my treat tonight."

Feng Yu knew the importance of having good relationships with classmates. The faster way was to use his money to build up their friendship.

All the roommates were happy when they heard Feng Yu was going to treat them. All of them were still students, and their families were not very rich either. All of them could tell that this Feng Yu's family must be very wealthy.

Only Tian Lei was not that happy. He was the oldest there, and he wanted to be the leader of the dormitory. He was the one who suggested dinner together. He also wanted his roommates to support him to be the class monitor or at least be the vice monitor.

But Feng Yu said he would be treating all of them, and if Feng Yu wanted to be the monitor, the rest of the roommates would surely support him.

Feng Yu could tell what Tian Lei was thinking, and he smiled: "Tian Lei is the oldest among us, and he is also from Beijing. I think he is the best person to be our dormitory leader. Oh, Tian Lei, do you want to be part of the class committee? What position do you want to be? Tell us. We will all vote for you."

Tian Lei was overjoyed. Feng Yu does not have the intention to be on the class committee? That's right. Feng Yu's family is so wealthy, and he does not need a title in the class committee.

"Thank you for your support. If I can become the class monitor, I promise to put in my best efforts in helping any of you if you encounter any problems in Beijing!" Tian Lei expressed that he wanted to be the class monitor.

"Fine. Let's go. We can talk during dinner. If we go there later, it might be too crowded."

Everybody wanted to be on the class committee except for Feng Yu. Feng Yu also do not want to take part in other after-school activities. It was because he does not have the time!

I am here to learn management and also look for managerial talents to recruit. At the same time, I am here to fulfill my parents' dreams. All of you are here to get better job opportunities. All of you can try to get the title of being in the class committee.

Our goals in life are not the same!

When school starts, the first activity was the military training. For people like Wen Dongjun with lots of energy, it was nothing. They might even enjoy it. But for Feng Yu, it was useless.

If this activity can help the students know each other better, Feng Yu would prefer to treat his classmates to a few dinners, which will be more effective. Even playing team sports like football or basketball was much better than this boring military training!

Feng Yu needs to use his usual tricks to skip this training.

"Teacher, I have Achilles tendonitis. I cannot take part in the training." Feng Yu handed a fake excuse chit and a false medical report to the teacher. He had spent 100 RMB for this.

Even when this was not Bing City, it was still easy to buy fake excuse chits and medical reports.

The teacher looked at Feng Yu from top to toe: "Achilles tendonitis? Why are you still playing football last night? Can you play football with Achilles tendonitis? I think you had taken the wrong report from the hospital!"

The teacher's tone was evident that he knew Feng Yu was faking his illness. What he really meant was: Keep your fake medical report. Don't make me expose you!

Damn. I should not have played football last night.

The military training will last a month, and Feng Yu really does not want to take part in it. He had better use for his time. He still needs to look after his business. It was peacetime now, and before he came to this life, China was not involved in any wars. What's the use for this military training?

Even if a war really breaks out in the future, there are so many soldiers in China. He would also not get his chance to participate in the war. The wars in the future do not need soldiers too. It will all be using high tech weaponry! Wars will be using money!

Furthermore, this military will affect the student's growth. Feng Yu still wanted to grow taller.

"Teacher, I heard that our school's stadium is old. My family has some money. Why not let me renovate the stadium for the school?" If the medical report does not work, then I will use the money!

The teacher stared at this student. Was he trying to fool him? Renovating a stadium will cost more than a few thousands RMB. It requires at least a few hundred thousand. It might even cost up to a few million! Even if your family is rich, will your parents agree to take out so much for the school?

As a teacher, he had met many students who tried to skip military training over the years. Feng Yu was not the first one. All the excuses used by the students were similar. He did not saw Feng Yu playing football yesterday, but he had used this trick to expose countless students.

"You want to help the school to renovate the stadium? Fine. Then I will represent the school and thank you. Our University had wanted to renovate the stadium last year, but we do not have the money. 1 million RMB should be enough!"

The teacher sneered. Kid, I want to see how you will react when you hear 1 million RMB! You think that you are exempted from the entry exams, and you are somebody? I was also exempted in the past, and I even got a scholarship for my PH. D!

"No problem. Teacher, I will need to prepare the money. I am afraid that I will not be able to attend the training these few days." Feng Yu readily agree.

After all, he will be at this university for the next few years. He could also use the newly renovated stadium. With a better stadium, he could also play football.

In another two years, he can renovate the gymnasium too. But he must get the naming rights. How can he not let others remember that he was the one that donated to the school? This way, graduates from Beijing University will remember Tai Hua Trading and it will be easier for him to recruit those graduates.

"you really think you are somebody? No problem? Do you even know how 1 million RMB looks like? You know how much a professor's research fund was for a year? As a student of Beijing University, you must remember the school's motto and must be honest. You should not tell lies!" The teacher reprimanded Feng Yu.

This student was too much. If the teacher had not seen his results and knew that he was food at English and Russian and had also scored the highest marks for his interview, he would have punished him severely.

In the future, if Feng Yu was posted to some government agencies and carried on telling lies, China's future will be gone!

"Teacher, as a student of Beijing University, I know about these. I can really afford 1 million RMB. Teacher, please listen to me. Those Wind and Rain electric fans in your offices were bought 2 years ago. The production for those fans was stopped after the bladeless fans were launched last year. My family owns this Wind and Rain brand!" Feng Yu pointed to himself.

"Wind and Rain brand belongs to your family?" The teacher was shocked. Could this be real?

Wind and Rain brand was China most famous home appliances brand. The humidifiers, electric fans were selling well and were even exported to overseas. If Feng Yu was telling the truth, then he could really afford 1 million RMB!

"Teacher, technology is also mentioned in our school's teaching. My family's products are all using advanced technologies. Oh, I think I still want to donate some research funds to our school's Bioengineering department. This way, the professors will have more funds to do their researches. We can talk about the details later."

The teacher's jaw dropped. This Feng Yu still wanted to fund the school's professors researches?

How did our faculty recruit this student?

This student should not care about his studies and job posting. How should he manage this student? But this was also considered a great achievement for him. If he can really get Feng Yu to donate to the school, he should be able to get his promotion.

"I need to speak to the university's leaders first. I cannot make any decision. Tomorrow morning, I will bring you to meet our school's leaders. We can talk about the military training after the meeting."

The next day, when all the other students were in the military training, Feng Yu went to the University office with the teacher. Feng Yu explained to the University's leaders about his intentions to donate to the school.

But this time, Feng Yu's conditions were not so simple. He wanted the naming rights of the stadium. He also promised that he will donate to some projects every year and the university will have to give him the naming rights in return. This was the same as Sir Shaw when he donated to the schools in China. The only difference was that the local government and schools will also need to come up with part of the construction fees. Feng Yu will be paying for everything, and the University will not need to spend a single cent!

As for the research funds for the professors, it can only be decided after Feng Yu met the professors and understand their research. Feng Yu will only fund the research he was interested in, and it was not a donation to the school. Also, the results of the study would be jointly owned by Feng Yu and the University. Feng Yu also have the option to buy over the research.

Feng Yu was excited when he thought about having a group of professors researching medicine for him in the future.

He can get back a few hundred times of his investments now in the future. This was a great opportunity!

Feng Yu was also able to benefit from his donations and investment now. The University accepted his excuse chit and medical report. He does not need to attend the military training. He only needs to attend the last day of the training.

The teacher patted Feng Yu's back as they walked out of the office. He kept praising him. China's future should be handed to young men like Feng Yu……

Professor Sun looked at the student in front of him. He had met students who had started their own businesses, and students in their 30s in this university before.

But this was the first time he met a student like Feng Yu. A student around the age of 18 and owns a successful business. This was also the first time he hears that a student will be funding the professors' researches. If it were not the vice principal telling him about this, he would have thought that this was a joke!

"Professor Sun, Professor Sun? Are you doing bioengineering research?" Feng Yu looked at the dazed professor.

"Xiao Feng. No, Feng Yu…. Sorry…… Ermmm…. Mr. Feng." Professor Sun does not know how to address Feng Yu. As a student of Beijing University, he should address Feng Yu as Xiao Feng or student Feng. But Feng Yu's status was different today. He will be the one that will be providing his research funds. It was still awkward for Professor Sun to address Feng Yu as Mr. Feng.

"Professor Sun, you can address me as Xiao Feng or Feng Yu." Feng Yu could tell that Professor Sun was feeling awkward. But Feng Yu does not mind at all. He had met professors and even high-ranking officials from the provincial government. All of them had addressed him as Mr. Feng or Manager Feng.

"Then I will address you as Xiao Feng. We are from the biology department. Our university does not have a bioengineering department."

It was Feng Yu's turn to be embarrassed. He had heard about bioengineering in his previous life, but he did not know that Beijing University does not have this department. The university's leaders had not mentioned this to him at their meeting yesterday.

But biology should be about this same as bioengineering. Biology research should also include the medicines he wanted.

"Professor Sun, does biology includes biochemistry?' Feng Yu asked.

"Of course. Biochemistry is a subject in which all our students have to take. Biology includes a lot of things……"

Professor Sun starts to introduce his expertise. Feng Yu listened attentively. This Professor Sun was the indeed the person he was looking for.

Feng Yu listened to Professor Sun for about half an hour, and he interrupted him. Professor Sun had talked about plants, humans, etc. Feng Yu does not understand what he was talking about.

"Professor Sun, can you turn your expertise into products? A product that can benefit mankind. For example, some calcium, iron, zinc, selenium, etc., tablets which can be absorbed faster by our bodies. Or, some vitamins, Amino acids pills that can relive our tiredness? Or, maybe some tablets that can help us sleep better, grow taller or slim down faster. Are you able to do that?"

Feng Yu did not mention that he wanted to make money with these medicines. He only talks about benefiting mankind. This was something noble, and Professor Sun was smiling.

"I did some researches on the things you mentioned. Other professors in our department wanted to research the things you mentioned. However, we do not have enough funds." Professor Sun looked at Feng Yu in his eyes.

Feng Yu: "……"

Damn. Who says that the professors in this era were righteous and noble? This professor only wants money. But this was also a good thing.

"Then I will provide the funding. But who will own the results of the research?" Feng Yu smiled and asked.

"The research results? Of course, the school will own it." Professor Sun said. "You want your name on the research papers? Then you must transfer to my faculty. But you need to be a research student first."

Humph! Who the hell wants to be part of the research? I am funding the researches and even though the study will be conducted by you all, and the school will be providing the laboratories and equipment, how can the university own the research results? I should get a share of it!

If it wasn't for the difficulties in setting up a research laboratory now, I will also not work with you. I would set up my own research laboratory!

"Professor Sun, I think I did not make things clear to you. I am not giving away my money for nothing. I am funding the researches because I want the results of the studies. To the university, this research result will only be an achievement or some honor. But for me, I can turn these research results into products. Don't you want the fruits of your labor to be introduced to the market and benefit everyone? Let everyone praise you?

Benefit everyone and let everybody praise?

Professor Sun became excited, and his face turned red. He had thought about this before. He also wanted to get a noble prize. But if he can't get a noble prize, it would also be good to hear praises from the people.

But he could not make this decision to hand over the result of his research to Feng Yu. All this while, the university owns all their researches. He had never heard of someone owning their research results.

But in the past, no one had ever funded their researches before.

Feng Yu saw that Professor Sun was tempted and he continued: "Professor Sun, think about this. If you give me the result of your researches, I can manufacture it and sell it to the rest of the world. I can use the profits to continue funding you and your fellow professors' researches. We can even earn money from the Western countries. This will be a great achievement!"

"Of course, as the person leading this research, you should also get some rewards. This would motivate more professors and scientist in your field to conduct more researches and let more people become interested in biology. We can let this subject be known all over China and let more people research on the wonders of biology!"

Feng Yu was getting more and more exaggerated, but Professor Sun likes what he said. This was a dream for him.

"But can those things you mentioned, really make money?"

Will there really be people that want to buy calcium tablets, vitamins, growth enhancement pills, slimming pills, etc.?

"Of course! Our country's economy is growing at an amazing speed. Do you have grandchildren? Do you want your grandchildren to grow taller? Also, you are looking tired. Do you get tired easily? If there are energy drinks that can relieve your fatigue, or prevent you from getting sleepy, will you take it? Even if no one in China wants to take it, there will be someone in this world that will need it. It can definitely make money!"

Feng Yu was also not greedy. If only one of the things he mentioned were developed successfully, he would make at least a few hundred million of profits. If two or more researches were successful, the profits would be higher.

There also some things that were already discovered, but no one knows how to use it. For example, L-carnitine. In the future years, almost every slimming pills have L-carnitine components in it. But now, it was only used as a form of health supplement and was used primarily in the milk powder for babies.

Even if these professors were not successful with their researches, had only found out the other uses of L-carnitine, and Feng Yu would be happy to give them a few million RMB!

"Let me consider about this. I also need to discuss with the others. I will give you an answer in two days' time."

Actually, Professor Sun had already made up his mind. But the things Feng Yu mentioned could not be done by him alone. His expertise was in vitamins. Also, he needs to talk to the University's leaders. He does not have the authority to make such decisions.

Looking at Professor Sun's expression, Feng Yu knew that this was a done deal!

Feng Yu sighed as he hangs up the phone.

It was really the same as his previous life. This August, there was indeed a coup in the Soviet Union. Some hardliners had kidnapped Soviet Union's President Mr. Mikhail Gorbachev during his vacation.

These hardliners had wanted to use this coup to make Yeltsin take on the role of President of the Soviet Union. However, Yeltsin refused. It was easier to manage Russia than to led so many allied countries.

Those hardliners also wanted to take Yeltsin into custody and even assassinate him. But they found out that Yeltsin had already taken full control of Russia. Thus, they could not achieve their plans.

At the same time, the army and KGB also stop supporting those crazy coup leaders. They openly declared their support for Yeltsin. In the end, after some negotiations, Mikhail Gorbachev was released.

Yeltsin also took the opportunity to declare that the communist party in the Soviet Union was a radical party and chased them out of Russia. He also made Mikhail Gorbachev sign a document which recognized him as the President of Russia.

Mikhail Gorbachev stepped down as the President of the Soviet Union and announced the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus immediately enter the United Nations. Russia had the strongest military power and had the support of the KGB, had the advantage in taking over all the Soviet Union overseas assets.

Mikhail Gorbachev was still hoping for Yeltsin to continue his Soviet Union economic reforms. Although Yeltsin agreed, he had other plans. He started the Commonwealth of Independent States.

This alliance does not require all the Soviet Union allied countries to be in. As long as Ukraine and Belarus acknowledged this alliance will do. Without these 3 countries, the other allied nations were nothing. Those countries do not have enough military powers or were economically sound.

Before the signing of this treaty, Kirilenko must quickly export that equipment to Feng Yu. After the coup happened in August and the resignation of Mikhail Gorbachev, it was difficult to ship these equipment.

But Kirilenko was smart. He told those factories' directors that the Soviet Union was finished. They need to think for themselves and their families. Even if the economy collapsed in the future, they would still have some money. They could also push these sales of equipment to those ex-Soviet Union politicians. They will not be blamed for selling their factories; equipment.

Just like this, the machines bought by Kirilenko was much cheaper than he expected. Of course, his rebate to the directors was higher. Although the political situation in the Soviet Union was in a mess, his cost was still the same.

Kirilenko had wanted to slowly ship those machines to China. If he delivers so many machines at once, he could be found out. Furthermore, Feng Yu also does not have enough place or manpower to store and assemble those machines. But Feng Yu kept chasing him. Feng Yu was afraid that after the United Nations recognized Russia's independence, Kirilenko might not have the chance to export out those machines.

Feng Yu had already spoken to factories and governments in many places. Fu Guangzheng made used of his identity of Hong Kong businessman to negotiate with these governments. At this time, the status of Hong Kong businessman was higher than the Americans. It was like this until the handing over of Hong Kong. China Government was afraid of any issues arising before the handing over.

If Kirilenko could not deliver those machines, then Feng Yu's investment in the Machinery company will have problems. It will delay his plans and offend Bing City's government and Master Lu. Feng Yu would also need to pay huge compensations.

With Feng Yu chasing Kirilenko, Kirilenko was under lots of pressure. He used his father's connection and used all means to send all the machinery to Bing City.

Kirilenko does not care whether if Bing City had the place to store those machines. He will get paid once those machines reach Bing city. It was Feng Yu's problem to look for a place to store those machines.

Today, the last batch of machines will be delivered to Bing City. Feng Yu was notified that the machines had crossed the borders through a phone call. He was finally relieved. There will be no problems with his investment in the Machinery Company.

But there was another problem for him now. There were too many machines, and there was no place to store them. Feng Yu had already sent a batch of machinery to Dongguan and Jinling. But there were still a lot of machines left in Bing city.

Li Mingde came to Feng Yu and asked him for a solution to this problem. If these machines were to be left in Bing City, the Machinery Company's warehouses would be insufficient. The Machinery company had already rented all the available warehouses in Bing City. It was still not enough.

The last batch of machines will be arriving soon. Should they send the equipment to the branch factories' provinces straight?

But the construction for those factories was not completed yet. There were even some regions in which the negotiations with the local government were not completed. The factory's venue was still an empty plot of land. Even if the machines were sent there, they also need to look for a place to store them. The local governments might use this opportunity to create problems for them.

Li Mingde felt that Feng Yu was too eager. There was no need for him to send those machines over so early. He should have waited for the factories' construction to complete. There might also be problems with the machines if those machines were left idling for too long.

Feng Yu also wanted to wait for the construction to be completed before sending the machines over. But time does not permit this to happen. These machines were cheap. If he purchases these machines after the constructions were completed, it might cost him at least double.

By that time, the Soviet Union will be disintegrated, and all those countries will be restricting the exports of these machines. Kirilenko might not even get to purchase these machines for him.

Feng Yu also need to get these machines to show Bing city's Government and Master Lu, that he could set up multiple factories at the same time.

Since all the machines had already arrived, Feng Yu called Fu Guangzheng to ask if his negotiations with the local governments will be affected if he sends those machines to the respective regions first.

Even though the land parcel was already settled, but it does not mean that they had the permission to set up their branch factories. This was an investment of over 100 million RMB. The local government will also want to earn some money. There were still many details that still need to be negotiated.

Fu Guangzheng had a headache when he heard this. If the equipment were sent to the region first, then the local government will know that they must set up the factory there. They will make use of this to charge the Machinery Company higher, and the negotiations will not go smoothly for Fu Guangzheng.

However, this was the only solution. Maybe with the equipment stored there, the local government will expedite the negotiations. Even though the Machinery Company might need to pay a higher price, their risk will be lower.

Feng Yu agreed He told Fu Guangzheng just pay more and get all the negotiations settled as soon as possible. After all, Fu Guangzheng's Hong Kong businessman had already helped the Machinery Company saved a lot. If it were Feng Yu or Li Mingde, they would not perform better than him.

Once Fu Guangzheng also completed his negotiations with the respective local government, the machines will be sent from Bing City to that region immediately. Some not so essential equipment might be damaged in the process, but Feng Yu was not worried. He could still purchase those machines from overseas. He was only concerned with the core machines.

Even if those not so essential machines rusted, Feng Yu could still sell it as scrap metals. All Feng Yu wanted now was for the factories to complete their construction as soon as possible.

The Machinery company's branch factories were under construction, and Feng Yu's funding of Beijing University Biology Department's professors' researches was also settled.

The university had concluded that the researches' results will be owned by the University and the professors will be named as the researchers. Feng Yu would be allowed to use the research results for free. He could also pay to have the exclusive use of these results. Of course, the university will also have the right to use it too.

Feng Yu was satisfied. Free usage of the results was a great deal. If there were any competitors, Feng Yu would be able to spend some money and get the exclusive use of the researches. This would kill off any competitors, and Feng Yu would be the one getting all the profits.

The professors also felt that this was the best for them. Feng Yu had promised to sponsor all their research funds and even promised them bonuses once their researches were turned into products.

The university also had something to gain. They could let their professors continued with their researches without spending a single cent. Even if their researches failed, the University would only lose some time. But if the professors succeeded, then the university will get the fame!

Feng Yu had only invested 1 million RMB in each professor. But those professors were overjoyed. The professors from other faculties were jealous of them. Even at Beijing University, these professors could only get about 20,000 RMB research funds a year.

Why this tycoon did not sponsor their researches? Their researches were also outstanding. It was also for the good of mankind.

At first, there were still some professors who wanted to make use of the university's administrative orders to let them use these research funds. Can't the school even deal with a student? But this was rejected by the Vice-principal. Feng Yu had said that these research funds were given to the respective professors and if someone else uses these research funds, it will be considered a breach of contract. Feng Yu will not fund any more researches.

Feng Yu had agreed to donor school buildings to the university every year. That was more than a few hundred million. The University stopped those jealous professors from making a fuss, but they also secretly told them Feng Yu's class and dormitory. The professors can go and contact Feng Yu themselves to try and convince him to fund their researches. No matter what, the University will never issue any administrative orders which allow them to use the research funds.

Feng Yu was looking at the other students doing the military training. He was exempted from the training. But Feng Yu was still not aware that he was only exempted from this year's training. There was another 2 weeks training during the year 1 student's break. That will be the real military training.

"Teacher, are you looking for me?" Feng Yu was at his dormitory drinking tea when he saw a teacher walking in with two old men with white hair.

"Feng Yu, let me introduce you to these two professors. They are our University's Computer Science Professors. They have some projects that need your funding."

Beijing University also have Computer research facilities?

Feng Yu had thought that Beijing University was focused more on arts subjects. Huaqing Universty was more renowned for their researches in computers. He never expects Beijing University to have this department too.

The smile on Feng Yu's face disappeared after chatting with the professors for a while.

Damn. These two old men were here to cheat money. Their research was in the right direction, but they had started too late. Even AIWA had these technologies, and you are just beginning to research on it now?

The professors even promised that Feng Yu would get the authorization to use their research results. They will also be producing their own products based on their research results themselves.

Shameless!

Feng Yu suddenly remembered that there was a Zhengfang Company in Beijing University. It was set up in 1986, and the company's general manager was the Chief of the Computer Science research facility now.

This company was owned by Beijing University, and this company main purpose was to use their professors' researches to turn into products and sells them. Their most successful outcome now was the Chinese characters display technologies!

These professors just wanted some donations from me.

Feng Yu does not mind donating to these professors. But their researches were outdated and was readily available in the market. It was too late for them to start now. This was a waste of money.

Your expertise was the software. Your researches should be in this direction. Why must you compete with Huaqing University and you still want me to fund you?

These two professors thought that since Feng Yu had already funded some professors' researches, he would surely support them too? Funding researches must have a purpose also. Feng Yu must see the value in the study. The value does not only include monetary returns. Even favors will do. Feng Yu would not spend his money to let these two old men get fame?

"Please hold on. I think there is some misunderstanding. The both of you keep on talking about your conditions, but I had not agreed to fund your research yet."

"What? What did you say? You are not funding our research? How can you not fund our research?" We are Professors from the University research facility. We are letting you fund our research is giving you face. You will also get your name on the research papers. You still do not agree to support us? This was a great honor!

The two professors were shocked. We are the professors here, and you are only a student!

"Why should I agree? The thing that you are researching on is already on the market. What's the value of researching something that is already in the market? I can just buy it on the market, and it will be much cheaper. If the both of you have better researches, we can discuss further. If not, please leave. I still have other things to do! Have the both of you wondered why the university had not agreed to fund your research?" Feng Yu picked up his teacup, ignoring the Professors' angry glare.

These so-called experts, professors were only in name. If they really have the capability, they would be like that Professor in his 30s who had come to see Feng Yu a few days ago. Even though he was a junior professor but his research had interest Feng Yu, and Feng Yu was willing to fund him.

Even if these two professors were holding high positions, Feng Yu would not fund them a single cent. Feng Yu's status at Beijing University was exceptional now. These two professors could not do anything to him even if he offended them.

That young professor was researching on materials. The uses for this new material was still unknown, and that's why he could not get funding from the University. This was the reason why he came to Feng Yu.

That professor wanted to research on silicon and Polyurethane. When Feng Yu heard about this, he already knew where he can use these materials on. There was a massive market for this material. The sex toy industry!

Silicon can be used to make sex-dolls, and Polyurethane properties were similar to rubber, and it can be used to make condoms. The condoms now were still made from latex.

A few days ago, Kameda Masao had called Feng Yu. Kameda Masao had reported that their sales had increased in the 3rd quarter.

Feng Yu had wanted to visit Japan within these few days. He wants to look at AIWA's development and at the same time, give some advice to the Sixth Senses Company. Of course, he also wanted to avoid those professors.

Although Feng Yu had not used Sixth Senses Company products, he had seen many sex toys on the internet in his previous life. He can just use some of those ideas and make profits!

When the professors at Beijing University wanted to look for Feng Yu, they noticed that Feng Yu was not at the military training camp or his dormitory. He had gone overseas.

The professors were furious. They reprimanded the person-in-charge: Feng Yu was only a student; how can he just leave the country like this.

But the professors could not say out the reason why they don't allow Feng Yu to go overseas. It was because if Feng Yu was not around, they could not get research funds. The professors cannot announce this reason to anyone.

Feng Yu stepped out of Tokyo Airport, and he says Kameda Masao waiting for him with a prominent sign. Welcome to Japan.

"Boss, you must be tired. Yoshiko, help boss with his luggage. Boss, do you want to go to the hotel first, or you prefer to have your dinner first?"

This VIP treatment was not bad. But why did you look at Yoshiko when you mention about going to the hotel?

"Go to the hotel first and report to me about your progress."

At the hotel, Yoshiko carried the luggage into the hotel room and left, closing the door behind her. President Kameda had signaled to her to wait outside the room for his instructions.

The Japanese economy now was really bad. A man can no longer support his family. This was especially so after the Japanese property market collapsed. Japanese men had to carry the burden of massive debts. This was also the reason why Yoshiko had to come out and work. She had to do things that she was not willing to do, but she would be paid well.

"Kameda, the last time we spoke, you mentioned that your sex dolls sales were increasing, and you have the confidence that this year, you will capture at least 25% of the market. You had done well. But have you considered monopolizing Japan or even the world's sex toys industry?"

Feng Yu was leading Kameda Masao. Dreams must be big. This would push one to continually improving himself.

Furthermore, Feng Yu had given Kameda Masao lots of ideas, and the Sixth Sense Company had lots of new products. These new products received rave reviews, but because of lack of funds, Kameda Masao could not increase his scale. There were already some factories that start to imitate their products.

This trip, Feng Yu had decided to increase his investment in the Sixth Sense Company. If this company could perform so well with only 1 million USD investment, then what would happen if Feng Yu gave Kameda Masao 10 million USD? It would not be too hard for Kameda Masao to monopolize the Japanese market, followed by the Asia market and then the world. The Sixth Sense Company could become the world's biggest sex toy company!

"Boss, I had thought about this, and I am working hard towards this goal. Our factory is already in max production, but the factory can only produce so much. We still do not have enough funds to expand our factory."

Kameda Masao was facing this difficulty and had mentioned to Feng Yu that he wanted to get loans from the banks. However, Feng Yu rejected his suggestion. Kameda Masao was dejected. He thought that Feng Yu was focusing on AIWA more and had even invested more money into AIWA.

Sigh…. Our products are also popular. Boss does not have any prejudice against this industry but why he does not let me take loans to expand the factory?

Kameda Masao's forecast was accurate. With Japan in recession, the property bubble burst, and the stock market collapse, many Japanese families had divorced. Those that wanted to get married had postponed. It was because that Japanese man could not support a family like before!

There were more and more single Japanese men. Sex was a way to relieve stress and frustration. Now, those sex establishments and red-light districts had also become desolate, as Japanese men could not afford to go there.

At the time, Kameda Masao introduced all sorts of uninformed sex dolls to the market. These new products were extremely popular! This also pushes the sales of other Sixth Sense Company's products.

The materials were cheap. It can even be considered dirt cheap, but the designs were enough to attract the consumers. Even when the products were priced slightly more expensive, the sales were still increasing.

There were even some movie companies that ordered their costume. Now, the Sixth Sense Company was already considered the market leader in Japan's sex doll market. But Kameda Masao still needs at least 6 more months to be the leader in Japanese sex toys industry.

Of course, the company had already earned back the 1 million USD Feng Yu invested. This money was reinvested into the sex toy factory to develop more attractive costumes, cheaper materials and set up more retail stores.

Feng Yu had arrived in Japan, and Kameda Masao wanted to have a talk with him. He wants to increase the company's scale and occupy the market.

Feng Yu nodded: "You are right. I also think that it is time for Sixth Sense to increase its scale. However, there is a problem with your management, which is your advertising and marketing."

When Kameda Masao heard the first sentence from Feng Yu, he was overjoyed. Feng Yu had finally decided to increase the company's scale. But he was confused with the second sentence. Japanese media does not allow sex toys advertising!

"Why? You think that our products are not suitable to advertise? The advertisement I am talking about is not those advertisements on your TV stations or in the newspaper. I am talking about hidden advertising. For example, you can invest in some movies or get some movie stars to endorse our products."

Invest in movies? Is boss talking about…… those movies?

"I remember you telling me that there is a movie company buying our costumes? Then why don't we invest some money and get their hottest AV star to promote that movie which will be using our costumes? The movie title can be called , this can showcase our uniform products. The movie can also showcase our other products like dildos or even sex dolls!"

Kameda Masao was in a daze from the shock he received!

He had not thought of advertising their products this way.

He thought about what Feng Yu had said, and it can really be done. These types of movies were selling well. Men ranging from teenagers to those in their 60s, all love to watch. There were even some women that like to watch too. There was also more and more adult movies company.

"The movies titles can also be called or , etc. This can showcase our products and our brands. The better those movies sell; the more people will know about our brand and products. There will be more people that will be interested in our products. Also, you can make a life-size 1:1 scale sex dolls of the AV stars you hired to endorse our products. This 1:1 scale sex dolls include of all her body parts. You understand?"

Huh………

Kameda Masao's eyeballs nearly pop out. Every part of the body must be the same? Including there?

This will surely be a hit with those men. This would satisfy all of their fantasies. Then should we produce an AV stars sex dolls series?

Once again, Kameda Masao was inspired by what Feng Yu said and starts to think about all sort of possibilities.

Kameda Masao excitedly discussed his ideas with Feng Yu. He will collaborate with the movie company that had bought his costumes. There was a new director in that company which likes to use "props" in his movies.

Feng Yu was not really interested in these details, and he let Kameda Masao makes all the decisions. He let Kameda Masao decide on the budget, as he does not know much about this industry market rates.

Kameda Masao still felt that they had too few retail stores in Japan. He wants to increase the number of their retail outlets. Having one store in one province was not enough. Some bigger areas like Tokyo or Hokkaido need at least 3 or even 5 stores. Those densely populated provinces will also need at least 2 stores.

That means that they would need to set up more than 30 new stores. Each store will need at least 50,000 USD to set up. Although the property prices in Japan had fallen, the rental of those locations he wanted had not dropped.

Just the new stores alone would almost 2 million USD. The factory still needs to expand and increase the number of workers. There was still the RD for new products and also the marketing cost. Kameda Masao made a mental calculation and found that he needs at least 6 million USD. He needs to get some loans.

He was confident that he would capture at least 40% of Japan's market share and be the market leader!

After telling Feng Yu all his plans, Kameda Masao looked at Feng Yu. He hopes that Feng Yu would agree with him. Even if Feng Yu does not invest more money into this company, at least Feng Yu can allow him to get loans from the banks.

Without saying a word, Feng Yu took out his checkbook and wrote a 10 million USD cheque. He turned to Kameda Masao and told him that he was too short-sighted. What can he achieve with that little money? If you want to do it, you must make it big!

Number one in Japan? Although Japan's population was considered high, can it be compared to the US or Europe? Kameda Masao should not set his sights in only one area. He must look further than Japan.

For example, developing the Southeast Asia market. It might not be easy to penetrate China's market, but he should be able to enter the coastal regions like Guangzhou or southeast provinces. These places were close to Taiwan and Hong Kong. Their economic development was much faster, and the people there could accept new things readily.

Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Malaysia, South Korea, etc. were more developed like Japan. Kameda Masao can also try to enter those places.

Feng Yu patted Kameda Masao on his shoulders: "Kameda, don't be afraid to dream big. The bigger your dream is, the more potential you will have. You cannot just look at Japan. This is not right. You might not be the number one company in Japan for the time being. But it is actually much easier to be the world's number one sex toy company."

Kameda Masao was thinking about what Feng Yu just said. To be the number one company in a country is harder than becoming the number one company in the world? What sort of theory is this?

"You don't get it? I shall explain to you. Now, the main market for sex toys can be broadly divided into 3 regions. Asia, Europe, and the US. Of course, you can enter these market in future. Now, our Sixth Sense products are well received by Asian. But have you ever thought about the US and Europe side? The market there might not be developed yet. Why not let the company design some products that suit the consumers from those regions? If you can capture 30% of the European market, 30% of the US market, and 30% of the Asia market, then you will capture more than 20% of the world's market. Isn't that the number one company in the world?"

Kameda Masao blinked his eyes. Seems like what Feng Yu said made sense. It was easier to get from 0 to 1 compared to from 1 to 2. If you add all the 1s together, you will get 3, and 3 is bigger than 2.

"Well? Do you understand now? I want you to set up subsidiaries in the US and Europe. You also need to set up factories there. If you do not have enough money, you can get loans. If you have problems getting loans, tell me. I can increase my investments. Look at AIWA. It was heavily in debt, and when I take over the company, the total debts amounted to more than 8 billion Yen. But Heitaro Nakajima told me that as all their factories start operating, coupled with his newest products, he was confident that he would be able to pay off all the debts and still have money remain. In Japan, AIWA is still competing with Sony. But in other regions, AIWA's market share is already catching up with Sony. AIWA's sales in Asia had already overtaken Sony. Next year, AIWA will overtake Sony in the other regions. AIWA will be the number one company for Walkman!"

Feng Yu uses AIWA as an example to prove his strategy. Kameda Masao had a confident look on his face.

Feng Yu was willing to invest in and trusted him with the running of the company. He was a jobless person and was now a shareholder of this company. This was all because Feng Yu believed him and kept giving him guidance.

He must work hard for his own dreams and also for Feng Yu's dreams!

If Feng Yu knew what Kameda Masao was thinking right now, he would scream in his face. "My dream is not to be the world's number one sex toy company boss!"

"Boss, I understand now. I promise you that next year, our companies in the US and Europe will be making profits. Within 3 years, our company will occupy more than 30% of the world's market share! I had noticed that magazines are very popular in Hong Kong and the western countries. I will make use of movies in Japan to promote our products, and in other regions, I will advertise in those magazines.:

Feng Yu nodded. Kameda Masao was a brilliant person. But this was not enough. Feng Yu still have a great idea which he had not told Kameda Masao.

"Kameda, have you watch any beauty pageant before?"

Kameda Masao looked at Feng Yu with a constipated expression: "Boss, you want to hire those beauty queens to endorse our products?"

"……"

Feng Yu: "What are you thinking? If you can hire them without using any illegal means, go ahead. But do you think it is possible? I am telling you that we can also organize these types of competition. It will be like an audition for the AV actresses. But they must use our products and wear our costumes. Of course, you can also organize an exhibition to showcase all our products, and at the same time, you can invite the other factories to participate. This effect will be better. It is like what you said. Sex toys are no illegal, and there is nothing to be ashamed of. We are helping people to cope with their stress and help lovers with their relationships. Do you understand?"

Ermmm….. Organize an exhibition for sex toys?

Kameda Masao had not heard of anyone doing this, but there were no regulations that state that this sort of exhibition was not permitted. Feng Yu wants him to organize a huge show and invite other factories, media, and visitors. This can not only showcase their products and also increase their sales/

"Boss, I understand. Rest assured, I will do my best!"

Kameda Masao had decided in his heart that he must achieve what he promised to Feng Yu much earlier than what he said just now. He must let Sixth Sense become the world's number sex toy company!

Oh right, when Feng Yu was looking at their product's catalog just now, he seems a bit…… like he wanted to test those products himself. Should he ask Yoshiko to stay back after dinner?

Feng Yu was enjoying a traditional Japanese cuisine. This was the most traditional Japanese cuisine he had ever eaten. From the ingredients to the chef, including the location were all Japanese. This was not like those Japanese restaurants in China.

But Feng Yu wondered why all the dishes Kameda Masao ordered were all aphrodisiac dishes?

"Boss, I still need to go back to the office. Yoshiko will send you to your room. She can speak some mandarin. You are sweating a lot, and you should take a bath. Yoshiko can help you."

Damn. What does Kameda Masao mean by that?

Feng Yu turned and look at Yoshiko, who was blushing with her head bows down. She needs this job to support her family. President Kameda had promised her a sum of money. Furthermore, this boss from China is quite good looking and does not look like he will be rough.

"Kameda! Bring her with you! What sort of person do you think I am? I do not want to see you doing such things again! Tomorrow I will be meeting Heitaro Nakajima, you don't need to be around!" Feng Yu said furiously.

Kameda Masao immediately bows down until his head almost touched the floor. He never expects that his arrangement will incur the wrath of Feng Yu. He hurriedly waved to Yoshiko to leave the room, and he apologized and bowed again before leaving.

Yoshiko had thick legs, and Feng Yu was not interested. Furthermore, he already has a girlfriend back in China. Yoshiko must have done this before, and Feng Yu could not accept her.

Kameda Masao and Yoshiko left the restaurant disappointed. Feng Yu was disappointed too. Why Kameda Masao did not arrange for a high school girl? If it was a younger girl, he might consider!

……

The next day, Feng Yu opened his hotel room door and saw Heitaro Nakajima standing outside. Feng Yu was not sure how long Heitaro Nakajima had been standing there as he did not knock on the door.

"Good morning Mr. Feng."

"Morning. Let's have breakfast together."

Heitaro Nakajima was waiting for Feng Yu's invitation. During breakfast, Heitaro Nakajima excitedly reported to Feng Yu about the company's recent performance.

The offices in Taiwan, Malaysia and Saudi Arabia will start operation before the end of the year. The new factories in Malaysia and Japan will also begin production around December. The expansion of England's branch factory will also be completed during that period. Next year, AIWA's global production will increase by over 5 times!

This was still after the fall out with Sony. If AIWA can still borrow Sony's factories, their production will be more than 10 times!

This was already enough. The subsidiary company and factory in Panamas can be set up much earlier than planned. The earliest will be next year, and the latest will be the following year, and AIWA's production will increase further!

As more and more consumers know about the AIWA brand, their Walkman sales also increase. AIWA Walkman was already selling more expensive than Sony!

In the past, Sony, as an international brand, and had no other major competitors, was able to price their products at a high price and enjoyed the high profits. During that time, Sony and AIWA were still in an alliance. Sony was targeting the high-end segment, while AIWA was targeting the mid to low-end segment.

Now, it was the opposite. AIWA had already taken over the high-end segment, and Sony can only target the mid to low end market. This was not Heitaro Nakajima boasting. This was a fact.

When Heitaro Nakajima mentioned this, he had a proud look.

Feng Yu felt that this was not a good sign. "A starved camel is still bigger than a horse." Furthermore, Sony was not defeated yet. Sony was still having more market share than AIWA in the Walkman marker. Sony was still selling more Walkman than AIWA. Their profit and brand awareness were even higher than AIWA.

Heitaro Nakajima does not accept losing to Sony, and he was thinking of ways to win. He wants to be the market leader for Walkman. He wants to be ahead of Sony.

No one can doubt the capabilities of Sony's RD department. Although AIWA was currently leading Sony with the BEE technology, Sony would be able to catch up fast.

"President Heitaro, don't forget that Sony's scale is a few hundred times bigger than AIWA. You really think that Sony will give up just like this? For the time being, we had won in Asia. But we are still losing out to Sony in other regions. Our sales might be good in the western countries but what about the total sales? Our production can only catch up with Sony next year. As the market increases, will Sony stop increasing their production? Don't forget that Sony's factories are located all over the world."

The proud smile on Heitaro Nakajima's face disappeared after he heard what Feng Yu said. Heitaro Nakajima was proud of his results, but he still has not reached the point be being arrogant.

Heitaro Nakajima only wanted to tell Feng Yu some good news to make him happy. In his heart, he had never look down on Sony. Sony will still be his number one enemy!

It was because AIWA was owned by Sony before, and had been in an alliance. Heitaro Nakajima understands about Sony more than Feng Yu.

He knew how powerful Sony was. Although Sony had spent a lot last year and made losses this year, Sony was still the leader of the electronics industry with strong financial backings and technological strength.

Heitaro Nakajima also did not let AIWA stop its RD of new products and technologies. He had used Feng Yu's suggestion to remove some useless functions and focuses on the sound quality. Feng Yu wants all the consumer to remember AIWA Walkman as beautiful designs and high-quality sound!

Their latest product had incorporated a small LCD screen into the Walkman. It can show the battery life. This model was extremely popular in the market, and Heitaro Nakajima wants to continue in this direction. Of course, their Walkman will be small as suggested by Feng Yu.

Feng Yu distinctly remember that Sony was continually reducing the size of their Walkman in his previous life. They even introduce the slim Walkman series which were well received by the consumers. But now, Sony can no longer start this trend. Sony will only be a follower behind AIWA!

"Mr. Feng, I will take note of this. I will not let Sony have any chance! I will show you our new product samples later. You can help to decide and see which model will be more suitable for the market."

Actually, Heitaro Nakajima had already decided in his heart. But he was saying this to Feng Yu to make him happy and also wanted to hear Feng Yu's opinions. Heitaro Nakajima was deeply impressed by Feng Yu foresight.

……

Feng Yu looked at the Walkman samples, and those were all AIWA's classic Walkman in his previous life. These models were well received by the market and had brought lots of profits to AIWA.

"These models were all nicely done. Do you intend to introduce all these models to the market? I will only make a small suggestion. You must carry on developing better earphones, and your technology must be the most advanced in the world! You can increase the variety of colors of these models too. This will let the consumers have more choices. The rest, do as you deem fit. I trust you. In the world of Walkman, you are the best!"

Heitaro Nakajima was shaking with excitement after hearing Feng y's words: "Rest assured Mr. Feng. The target for our company next year will be 10 billion yen!"

With AIWA's current profit percentage, that means that AIWA would have to achieve more than 100 billion yen of sales to achieve the goal of 10 billion Yen profits. That means AIWA would need to sell at least a few hundred million units of Walkman.

"Oh? How did you come up with this number?" Feng Yu was curious. Heitaro Nakajima was telling that that he would be able to sell off all the Walkman that will be produced next year. Possible?

Under normal circumstances, it would be best if the production is slightly higher than their sales. The output cannot be much higher than the demand, or there will be wastage. If the output is lesser than the market demand, then they would need to increase their production to prevent their competitors from gaining more market share. If supply = demand, that means the market had no more room to expand. This was not possible.

"I will be doing a global marketing campaign. I will be hiring celebrities to endorse."

"Then who will you be hiring? Our products are targeting the younger market. Are you looking for those idols singers?" Feng Yu frowned. This was not a good sign. How can AIWA win Sony when it comes to getting singers for the product endorsement?

Sony will be getting a mega superstar to be their product's spokesperson. That superstar is Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson had a contract with CBS record, and CBS records were bought over by Sony.

"Whitney Housten? My people had spoken with her before, and she seems to be interested. But her fees are quite high. This would increase our cost by a lot. However, she is the most popular female singer currently."

Feng Yu shook his head: "Although I do not want to admit it, she is black. She might be very popular in the US and the African countries. But in Asia and Europe, people might still like her songs. But they will not be interested in her looks."

"Madonna? She will be even more expensive." Heitaro Nakajima felt that what Feng Yu said does make sense. He had overlooked the skin color.

Feng Yu shook his head again: "We do not need celebrities to act in our commercials. We only need to use their most popular songs. Or we can also hire someone to write a jingle for us. Maybe a 10 seconds jingle. We can use some good-looking models for our commercials."

"Models? No problem. But the 10 seconds jingle you mentioned is too short. How can you showcase our brand?" Heitaro Nakajima frowned.

Brand taglines…… Feng Yu thought hard about this and he "borrowed "a very popular advertising tagline from his past life: "Why not use – AWIA, Master of Core Technologies, as our brand tagline?"

AWIA, Master of Core Technologies!

Heitaro Nakajima's eyes nearly popped out. This brand tagline was terrific!

This way, the consumer will get the impression that AIWA was producing the world's best Walkman! Just nice, AIWA Walkman's was better than Sony's Walkman now.

This way, they can showcase AIWA's capabilities and at the same time, belittled their competitors. Mr. Feng was brilliant. With this brand tagline, AIWA sales will increase further!

"Mr. Feng, I know what to do. I will hire a professional voice artist to say this tagline. This way, it will sound better. As for the music, we can just use parts of those popular songs. This way, the cost will be lower and still have the advertising effects."

Heitaro Nakajima had a new direction now. With this tagline, it doesn't matter what songs they use. Now he only needs to find two models with excellent image and let them dance while listening to some music on AIWA's Walkman.

Feng Yu nodded: "Ok. You can decide on all those details. This tagline is not only our advertising message. It is also what I want of AIWA. We must master all the core technologies and must always be the forerunners in this industry. Now, you had already used all the new technologies, but do you know if Sony had used all their newest technologies in their products?"

In Feng Yu's previous life, Sony had always used their second-best technologies on their newest products. It was because their second best technologies would be sufficient to beat all their competitors. Even if their competitors introduced better products, Sony could always react. Sony will never introduce some technology that would kill off all their competitors.

Sony would need to pay a high fine for creating a monopoly.

Useless Sony was pushed to a corner, they would never use their latest technologies.

"I know about this. Our RD department staffs are on par with Sony. We have set some research directions and if they are successful, our earphones, speakers and player, will be upgraded. We are also trying to make our Walkman smaller. We should be able to complete all these research within one year. Next year, our Walkman will be lighter and smaller."

"It would be best if you can produce a series, for example, those with better sound quality, you can name it as Super Original Audio series. Those that had nicer exterior designs, you can produce it in more colors and call it as the Rainbow series. In the future, when we introduce the smaller Walkman, we can call it the Ultra Slim series. This way, the consumers will have more choices and can also show AIWA's capabilities."

Feng Yu was using all of Sony's tactics from his previous life. When Sony thought of this strategy, it would be too late. Now, they were at war with Sony in the Walkman industry, but AIWA's sound engineers were more capable than making Walkman.

Feng Yu wants AIWA to start to research CD players. He wants to encroach into Sony's market!

……

"President Norio, AIWA's Chinese boss, had come to Tokyo. Are they up to something?"

Norio Ohga waved his hand: "Just ignore him. We are Sony. We are the best electronics company in the world. As long as our products are better than them, and with our strength in marketing and our sales channels, AIWA will be no match for us. How is the progress with the sound quality improvement?"

"If we use the BEE technology, we can attain the same sound quality as AIWA."

"I do not want to be the same as them! I want to be better than them! Also, launch our new earphones into the market. We must hold on to the market. AIWA's two new factories will start operation next year. Their production will increase by several folds, and we cannot let them snatch the position of market leader from us. You must focus more on the Asian market!"

Asia was Sony's home ground. But their home ground was taken over by AIWA. In Europe and the US market, Sony was still leading, but it was also they had more products. This does not mean that their products were popular. AIWA had already overtaken Sony regarding sales for Japan, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, etc. this was an insult to Sony!

Humph! AIWA wants to make it big? That was only Sony had overlooked. If we are serious, there is nothing that is unachievable! We have already won against the Americans, how can we lose to the Chinese?

Humph! This time we will hire Michael Jackson to endorse our products. We shall see who will be the winner next year!

Feng Yu was satisfied with this Japan trip. Heitaro Nakajima and Kameda Masao were both talented people. They were much better in management than Feng Yu.

They were good at managing the company operations, and the company should be growing better than expected. Feng Yu also look into the Japanese companies. He wants to look for those companies that were in trouble now but would perform well in the future. He wants to invest in these companies.

But he was too late. Those companies were already invested by bigger corporations. There were no companies that were worth Feng Yu to invest in. In the end, Feng Yu could only ask Heitaro Nakajima to poach some engineers from a research facility which was closing down. AIWA must have a constant supply of talents!

This Japan trip lasted less than a week. Feng Yu's visa was also expiring, and he traveled back to Beijing. Of course, there was something important. It was the military training ceremony.

Feng Yu appeared in the military training during the last few days. He joined the practice, but it was all the easy training, like marching. Feng Yu could quickly catch up with the rest of his classmates.

The military training was over, and it was the holidays. Feng Yu's modified Land Rover was also sent to Beijing. The Beijing dealer helped Feng Yu to get a Beijing's registration plate. It would be winter soon, and Feng Yu does not want to ride a motorcycle during winter.

Feng Yu drove to Beijing Teaching University in his Land Rover.

The past one month, Feng Yu's new apartment was ready. This was a newly renovated apartment, and Feng Yu only need to get some furniture, home appliances, and some simple painting.

That Tian Lei was competent. He had really help Feng Yu found some apartments for sales the very next day. Feng Yu offered a high price for the apartment, and the owner agreed to sell immediately.

It was a two-bedroom apartment, about 200 Sqm. But for Feng Yu, it was sufficient.

……

The university campus now was not as strict as the future years. Feng Yu could drive straight into the university, and the guard did not even stop him.

In this era, only the rich or the leaders could afford to drive, and the guards dare not to offend these people.

Feng Yu reached Li Na's hostel and saw a guy with spectacles in his school uniform standing there. He was looking at a girl, and he looked like he wanted to approach but was too shy.

That girl was holding a book to cover her face, and she was sneaking peeks at that guy. Both of them were far apart, looking at each other. They did not even dare to sit next to each other.

Tsk, tsk……

In this era, even though there was a trend of being free, most of the people were still conservative when it comes to relationships. If you stopped a girl on the streets and offered to send her home, you will be branded as a hooligan, and the police will arrest you.

It was apparent that both the guy and girl were interested in each other, but they were too shy to approach each other. Anyway, there was still time before Li Na comes down. Let me be a matchmaker today.

Feng Yu parked his car by the side and walk to that guy: "Brother, you like that girl?"

"Ah? No, no. I am just passing by." The bespectacled guy said. His accent sounded like he was from Jiangxi.

Passing by? Why are you still standing here for so long if you are passing by? Even a tortoise can walk faster than you!

"Sigh…… Friend, as a man, you must be brave. You are looking at that short hair girl? You know which class is she from? Do you know where her hometown is? You know what time she normally finishes her classes? You don't know? Go and ask! If you like her, how can you be so timid?"

"Ask? I don't think I can. I am scared." The bespectacled guy said.

Damn. Look at you. If you carry on this way, you will miss your chance. You can only go for matchmaking in the future! In this era, you can apply for the same job assignment together, and the future unit can do their best to accommodate these requests.

Furthermore, they will all be teachers in the future. It should not be too difficult to get to work in the same school.

"Bro, you are too useless. Is that girl from the south or north?" Feng Yu sighed and asked.

"You… Why are you asking about this?" The guy looked at Feng Yu warily.

What? You think I am interested in that girl? Although that girl was not ugly, she cannot be considered pretty. Li Na was much more beautiful than her.

Feng Yu suddenly remembered a saying from his previous life. What is love? That is two people who looked like monkeys but were still worried that someone would snatch the other party away!

"I am also waiting for a girl. I will not vie with you. You just tell me where is she from, and I can teach you some tricks to win her heart."

Feng Yu knew that this guy does not need to do anything, and he could win that girl's heart. This guy just needs to approach that girl, and she will agree. But this bespectacled guy was too timid. He doesn't even dare to walk over and speak to that girl. In this current era, no girls would take the first step!

"She is the same as me. We are from Hangzhou. We had met during the school's Hangzhou gathering."

Damn. Both of you are from the same hometown, and you still dare not to talk to her?

"I tell you, girls like guys to be simple and direct. Now you just walk over, and she will definitely put down her book and look at you. You just tell her straight that you like her and wants to date her. She will not reject you. If you hesitate further, someone will win her heart, and you will be crying in a corner!"

"Really? But…… but I dare not to talk to her."

Feng Yu was pissed off by this timid guy.

"Li Na, let me bring you out for movies. This is a Hong Kong movie, starring Zhou Yu Fatt. I have even bought the tickets."

Feng Yu turned around. Damn, here I am teaching this guy how to woo girls, and someone is going after my girlfriend? Who is that sickening guy?

"Sorry, I am not free." Li Na gave that guy a disgusted look. Since the start of their military training, this guy had been harassing her. She had rejected him several times, but he still does not give up.

Feng Yu patted that bespectacled guy on his back and said: "Look careful. This is how you woo a girl."

Feng Yu straightened his shirt and walked over to I Na: "Hey beautiful, are you alone? I know there is a newly open skating ring nearby. Can I bring you there to skate?"

Li Na saw Feng Yu, and she immediately smiled: "Ice skating? That's great!"

"Who are you? Li Na, ice skating is too dangerous. If you want to play, I know there is a billiard saloon. We can play some billiards. Billiard is a high-class sport played by the nobles!"

That irritating guy turned to Feng Yu and said softly: "A toad lusting after a swan's flesh. My father is a department chief in the city's education department! Li Na and I are both swans. We are meant for each other!"

Damn! A department chief? In Beijing, if a someone drops a rock from the sky and it hit 7 people, 6 of them will be higher ranked than a department chief!

Feng Yu looked at this sickening guy and said gravely: "If you want to be an animal, don't drag others along with you. Also, did you use perfume? It smells! A department chief is a high-rank official? Girl, shall we go?"

Feng Yu held Li Na's hand and walk off.

That guy was shocked. Li Na like guys to be direct? They are already holding hands! Damn, I should have held her hands immediately.

That bespectacled guy looked at the back view of Feng Yu and Li Na. He was struggling in his heart. He looked at the girl in the distance, and he mustered up his courage and walk over. He was walking towards the girl of his dreams……

The bespectacled guy did not notice, but the irritating guy hears Feng Yu's accent was similar to Li Na. Did they both know each other?

When he saw Feng Yu opening the car door for Li Na, all his plans disappear immediately. This was a car, and it was an imported car. This person's family was not simple. If he uses some underhand methods to get Li Na, he might need to face that person's revenge.

Never mind. There were still many pretty girls in the University. His father was a department chief with the education department, and he can arrange for Beijing jobs after graduation. He knew that many girls will be interested.

A few years ago, all the graduates from Beijing top schools were targets of various government agencies. Even the graduates from Beijing Teaching University were well received by the government.

But in the recent years, there were more and more graduates and the government cutting down expenses on the benefits, these graduates were no longer popular. There were even rumors that in a few more years, these graduates were no longer assigned to jobs. This year's Beijing Teaching University graduate could no longer stay in Beijing as there were enough teachers. They would be sent back to their hometowns.

He thought that Li Na was from the northeast region and would be looking forward to staying in Beijing. She would be interested in him. But Li Na had been cold towards him. Now, he knew that it must be this guy was the reason for Li Na to be treating him this way.

Before Feng Yu entered his car, he saw that bespectacled guy aggressively grab that girl's hand and then tried to hug her. That girl gave him a slap and ran away.

Damn, I only told you to approach that girl. Why are you grabbing her hand and you still tried to hug her? You must be a moron!

Feng Yu immediately boarded his Land Roer and drove off. It seems that he had failed as a matchmaker!

"Where are you bringing me to? Are we really going to ice skate?" Li Na looked out of the windows. Although she was in Beijing, she had never roamed around.

"The national holidays are 3 days. Where do you want to go? Today's weather is fine. How about we visit the Great Wall of China?" Feng Yu knew that Li Na had wanted to visit the Great Wall.

"Really? I have still not visited the Great Wall!" Li Na was excited. She had only seen the Great Wall on TV and books. She can finally see it with her own eyes.

The National day holidays was not as long as the future years, but it was still a 3 days holiday. Many people from the surrounding provinces would come to Beijing for the holidays.

The Great Wall was the main attraction in Beijing.

When Feng Yu and Li Na arrived at the Great Wall at Badaling, the most famous section of the Great Wall, there were lots of tourists.

Many of these tourists were panting after climbing a small section of the Great Wall. Most of them were sitting on the steps to rest, there were still some people who had brought their own camping chair.

"Don't move. This view is beautiful. Let me take a picture of you." Feng Yu took out his camera.

It was a pity that there was no digital camera yet. They would not know how the photo would turn out. But it does not matter. Feng Yu had brought many rolls of film. He only needs to take care to not let the films be exposed with taking it out from the camera.

Feng Yu's camera was considered a more advanced camera. He does not need to roll the film himself, and the camera even had flash.

After walking for about half an hour, Li Na was out of breath.

Feng Yu bent over in front of Li Na and patted his shoulders: "Come, I will carry you. There are not many people in front. We must visit more beacon towers in front. The view over there should be good. We can take more photos there."

Li Na was blushing when she climbs onto Feng Yu's back. Feng Yu used his hands as support for Li Na, and he could felt Li Na's softness on his back. He slowly walks forward and introduced the history behind the Great Wall. He had done his homework the day before at the library.

A couple was resting on the steps of the Great Wall, and the girl pinched her boyfriend: "Look at them. Carrying his girlfriend while climbing the Great Wall and that guy does not even look tired. Just look at yourself!"

That guy had a helpless look. Why don't you say that girl looks like she weighs at most 45 KG and you weigh over 60 KG? We are almost at the same weight. You think I can carry you?

Li Na was afraid that Feng Yu would be tired from carrying her and got down. They both climbed the Great Wall for a while more and finished a roll of film, before returning.

On the way back, Feng Yu saw that couple again. That boyfriend was carrying his girlfriend on his back. One of his hand was holding on to the railings, and his legs were shaking.

That boyfriend saw Feng Yu and his eyes were burning with anger. My suffering was all because of you! We were here for a holiday, and now I am suffering!

……

At the foot of the Great Wall, Feng Yu and Li Na ate some noodles. Feng Yu felt that it tastes so-so. It was not as good as those street stalls. But he still finishes two bowls.

"How come you are eating so much? Did you skip breakfast?" Li Na passed her handkerchief to Feng Yu for him to wipe his mouth.

"The food in school sucks. Why not you prepare dinner for me tonight?"

"Go back to your home?" Li Na blushed.

"I still have not eaten anything you made. You kept telling me that you can cook. Do you really know how to cook?" Feng Yu continued.

"I can cook really well. Let's go and get the ingredients. I will let you try my cooking."

"Fine. Later we will go to the market. I will laugh at you if your dishes do not taste good."

Li Na starts to regret after she said that. Why did she agree to go to Feng Yu's apartment? Will he kiss her again?

After getting the ingredients, they proceeded to Feng Yu's apartment. It was on the third floor. This was a new building, and there was an elevator installed. Feng Yu was walking in front, and Li Na was following behind.

"Here…. Look… what do you think? This is newly renovated. This will be our home. Do you like it?"

Li Na blushed and rolled her eyes: "What our home? This apartment is lovely. Is it expensive?"

"It does not cost much. There is Jianlibao in the fridge. You rest first. I will wash the vegetables first." Feng Yu was very excited.

This was step one of his plan. Li Na was in his apartment!

Li Na pushed Feng Yu out of the kitchen: "You better go out first. Look, you had made a mess. Go out and watch TV."

Feng Yu was waiting for her to say this. He walked out of the kitchen and start to set the table. He also opened a bottle of red wine.

Half an hour later, Feng Yu looked at the 4 dishes on the table. Braised pork, stirred fried tomato and potato, green pepper with shredded potato, sweet and sour fish. These are all his favorites.

"Go and wash your hands." Li Na pushes Feng Yu.

"To celebrate you cooking for me the first time, let's have a toast." Feng Yu tried hard to think of an excuse.

"But I don't drink." Li Na said.

"It doesn't matter. I had added some soft drinks in it. The alcohol content is lesser than beer. Try it."

Feng Yu added some soft drinks to the half-filled glass of red wine. Li Na took a sip, and it tastes good.

"How is it? Taste good? Come, let's have a toast." Feng Yu knocked on Li Na's glass and finished his glass of red wine.

Hahaha, I am drinking now. I can no longer drive you back later!

"Hmmm, this braised pork is better than my mom's. These sweet and sour fish taste even better. You can open up a restaurant! You need to eat some before I finish everything." Feng Yu said exaggeratedly.

Actually, Li Na's cooking can only be considered so-so. But Feng Yu was in a good mood. This was the first time Li Na had made dinner for him. He must make this a habit for Li Na!

Looking at the way Feng Yu was eating, Li Na ate a piece of egg….. it seems that she had added a bit more salt. She was not used to using a small wok to cook, and she could not estimate the amount of salt to add.

With Feng Yu encouraging her, the both of them finishes the bottle of wine, and Li Na's face had turned red.

"Ah…… I am so full. Let me clear the dishes. You go and rest for a while." Feng Yu took all the dirty dishes to the kitchen and placed everything in the basin.

"Let me wash all the dishes for you."

"No need. Let's go out and watch a movie. I had just returned from overseas a few days ago. My friend said that this movie is a blockbuster in his country."

Feng Yu took out a videotape from the cabinet and put it into the player. He had brought back this videotape from Japan. Kamada Masao had given him this videotape and told him that this was a love story.

The both of them sat on the sofa, and Feng Yu had his arms over Li Na's shoulders. Li Na could not hold her liquor well, and she was leaning against Feng Yu.

This film was about a love story that happened in one of Japan's university. There were no Chinese subtitles, and the both of them had a hard time trying to understand. But luckily the actors and actresses were good at acting. They could still follow the movie more or less.

At the end of the movie, the male and female lead kissed and Feng Yu also took the opportunity to kiss Li Na.

This was not the first time they kissed. But this time they were kissing passionately. Feng Yu slowly pushes Li Na down on the sofa, and his hands start to roam about on her body.

Li Na grabbed Feng Yu's hands and sits upright: "I should go back not. If I am late, I can't enter the dormitory."

Li Na was flustered, and her heart was racing. She was afraid that if she stayed there any longer, she would not be able to control herself.

Feng Yu plaintively said: "Ah……. I had drunk just now, and I can't drive. Furthermore, it is the holidays now, and it doesn't matter if you don't return to your dormitory. You can stay here tonight. There are two-bedrooms here. I can sleep in the study room."

Luckily, Feng Yu had thought of this. In this era, girls were too conservative. But tonight, Feng Yu would not let this rabbit escape!

The stimulation just now was not enough. Feng Yu still have plan B!

Li Na had some hesitation, and her heart was beating faster: "Really?"

"Of course. Let's watch another movie. Ah…... your clothes are dirty. How careless of me. Hurry and change. You can wash it in the washing machine, and you can take a shower. It should be dry tomorrow morning."

Feng Yu had "accidentally" knock over the drinks on the coffee table and dirtied Li Na's clothes.

Take a shower in Feng Yu's house? Li Na's heart was racing.

"No need. I can just wipe it off."

"What no need? Just go to the bathroom. I had heated up the water for you. You had also sweated a lot when at the Great Wall. Go and take a shower first while I wash the dishes. You want me to carry you to the bathroom?" Feng Yu said with a naughty smile on his face.

"Hooligan." Li Na ran into the bathroom and locked the door.

"There is a bathrobe on the shelf in the bathroom. You can wear that."

Feng Yu was washing the dishes and whistling. Hahaha, that bathrobe can be quickly taken off as there is only one belt holding it together. Li Na cannot leave after she had taken her shower!

After a while, Li Na walked out of the bathroom with her hands holding tightly to the bathrobe. She turned to Feng Yu with a red face: "Feng Yu, I don't know how to use this washing machine."

"Let me do it. I can take a shower too."

Feng Yu entered the bathroom and look at Li Na's clothes in the washing machine.

Huh? Where's the bra? She had taken a shower and wore her bra back?

Never mind. It will be more exciting when I remove it myself later.

The washing machines of this era were still semi-automatic. You need to fill the water into the washing machine manually. Feng Yu poured water into the washing machine and switch it on. He added some washing detergent and threw the clothes he was wearing into the washing machine. He presses some buttons, and the washing machine starts to rumble.

Feng Yu had only wet himself and wiped dry after 1 minute. He walks out topless with just a towel wrapped around his waist.

"You…… Why are you not wearing your clothes?" Li Na asked.

"I had taken a shower too, and also I had washed my clothes. Why are you not watching any movies? Let me play a movie."

Feng Yu took out the videotape that he wanted to watch and insert it into the player. He then sat down beside Li Na and had his arm across her shoulders.

Li Na tried to move away, but she felt happy when she leans against Feng Yu, and she could smell Feng Yu's scent.

Feng Yu was laughing in his heart when he felt Li Na leaning against him.

The movie started. It was another Japanese movie. But this time, there were English subtitles. Feng Yu could easily understand it, but it was a bit hard for Li Na.

Li Na was puzzled by this movie. Why this movie just shows a man returning home from work and his wife was cooking. It seems a bit boring.

The husband and wife sat down for dinner and had a bottle of red wine. How come this scene looks so familiar? It was just like what happened to them earlier.

After dinner, the husband went to take a shower, and the wife was spreading the bed.

The husband walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around the waist.

The movie scenes were too familiar, and Li Na was confused. What was this movie about?

The husband suddenly grabbed his wife towards him and started to kiss her. His hand was inside his wife's clothes!

Li Na's eyes opened wide in shock. This…… was those type of movies?!

Li Na watched the husband took off his wife's clothes in the movie, and she screamed. She hurriedly closes her eyes.

"Feng Yu, why are you watching this type of movies?"

"What do you mean? This is an artistic film. This type of movie is best watched by couples. Many people can't even get to watch it." Feng Yu's hands start to roam about like that husband in the movie.

"What are you doing? Mmmmmm……"

Li Na raised her head and wanted to scold Feng Yu, but Feng Yu used his lips to cover her mouth.

Li Na was almost breathless from the kiss. She was feeling dizzy and had a weird sensation.

Feng Yu slowly kissed downwards to Li Na's neck. Li Na was blushing. Her face and neck had all turned red.

She was breathing heavily.

"Feng Yu, no. We are not married yet. We can only do this after we get married.:

"You don't trust me? I will sure marry you."

"I believe but……"

"Then everything's good. Be a good girl." Once again, Feng Yu stop Li Na from talking with his lips.

Feng Yu hand was holding on to Li Na's waist, and the other was searching for her bathrobe's belt.

The moaning from the TV was loud, and Li Na's body temperature rises.

Feng Yu's head was buried in Li Na's chest and was sucking on one of her flower buds. Li Na's back was in an arc. She had never experienced this type of feeling before. She had even forgotten to stop Feng Yu.

Feng Yu had already pulled down her bathrobe without her knowing. Li Na's chest was exposed and Feng Yu's towel around his waist on the floor. Feng Yu's lips slowly move south.

"No…. don't touch there…"

"Stop moving."

At this moment, how could Feng Yu listen to her? He forcefully spread Li Na's legs and looked at that small piece of cloth covering her most private part.

"Stop looking." Li Na covered her bottom with one hand, and the other was covering her blushing face.

"You are so beautiful!" Feng Yu mumbled.

"Feng Yu, not here." Li Na said in a soft voice. She could no longer resist Feng Yu at this moment.

Feng Yu carried Li Na to the bed in the bedroom and continued to shower her with kisses.

Feng Yu's hands slowly caress Li Na's body, feeling her smooth skin. Li Na tried to stop Feng Yu from touching her by using her thighs to clamp his hand. But that does not stop Feng Yu's fingers from moving.

Li Na could felt something pressing against her waist. She tried to move away but she can't.

Feng Yu pressed down onto Li Na and slowly spread her legs.

"Nana, I love you……"

"Ah……."

Why is this girl biting me?!

Feng Yu stopped moving and waited for Li Na to release her bite. He kissed Li Na again and slowly starts to move. Li Na does not know what to do. She just hugged Feng Yu tightly.

"It's painful. Don't be so rough."

……

Sunlight entered the room, and a half-naked couple was lying on the bed. The guy slowly opened his eyes and had a smile on his face.

Last night, Feng Yu's plan was a success. It was Li Na's first time, and they only did it once. But Feng Yu was satisfied.

He had waited for so many years for this, and he finally succeeded!

Feng Yu looked at the sleeping Li Na. After last night, Li Na looked like a beautiful flower in full bloom. She looks even more beautiful than before.

Li Na's head was lying against Feng Yu's chest. Her long hair was tickling Feng Yu, and he was getting aroused.

Feng Yu removed the blanket. Last night, Li Na had wanted Feng Yu to switched off the lights. He did not even have the chance to have a good look at Li Na.

A flat stomach and a pair of long legs. One of her legs was still wrapped around Feng Yu. Feng Yu could not stop his hands moving along her smooth complexion.

Feng Yu grabbed her breast and slowly massage it. It was smooth and firm. Feng Yu was enjoying the sensation. Li Na felt someone was touching her and she turned her body. Feng Yu's hand moved downwards and starts to explore.

Last night, Feng Yu had prepared concentrative, but he did not use it. It was their first time, and he wanted Li Na to feel natural.

The condoms in that era were still very thick. Also, many people were easily allergic to the material used in the condoms. Another reason was Feng Yu knew that it was Li Na's safe period.

Li Na still had some of Feng Yu's residue there, and it acts as a lubricant for Feng Yu's fingers.

Li Na suddenly felt something weird and woke up. She thought about the dream she had and blushed. Why did she dream of doing naughty things with Feng Yu again?

She opened her eyes and saw the curtains look a bit different. Where is this place?

This is Feng Yu's apartment! Li Na suddenly remembered that she had stayed overnight at Feng Yu's place!

She had sex with Feng Yu! How can Feng Yu do such a thing to her? They were not even married yet! Li Na was in a state of confusion and wanted to cry.

Feng Yu noticed that Li Na had woke up and he carried on caressing her body and kissed her.

Li Na felt her anger was rising and raises her hand to give Feng Yu a slap. But Feng Yu caught her hand, and his right hand moved deeper.

Li Na looked at Feng Yu, and her anger slowly subsided. Her body slowly stopped struggling and let Feng Yu touched her all over.

Feng Yu turned over onto Li Na and raise his hips. He was about to enter her again.

Li Na starts to blush again. She did not expect Feng Yu to do this again after they woke up.

"You…… Did you plan everything last night?" Li Na meekly asked.

Feng Yu playfully looked at Li Na: "It does not matter if it is planned or not. Things have already happened, and I will be responsible."

After saying that, Feng Yu slowly moved backward. Li Na thought that Feng Yu was stopping, but Feng Yu suddenly thrust his hips hard into her.

"Ahhhh……"

"Nana, we did not enjoy ourselves last night. Let's do it again." Feng Yu jokingly said.

"Who…… Who did not enjoy…… Oh……." Li Na instinctively grabbed Feng Yu again, and her toes curl up. She started to move along to Feng Yu's rhythm.

"Our clothes are still in the washing machine. We did not wring it yesterday. What am I supposed to wear today?" Li Na looked at her dripping clothes in the washing machine.

"Here…… New clothes. This is the latest trend. I had brought them back from Japan." Feng Yu took out a set of new clothes and showed to Li Na. How could he not think of this?

"Ah……... Why are you not wearing anything!" Li Na screamed and covered her eyes.

Feng Yu: "……" You had already seen my whole body. Does it matter?

"Fine, fine, fine. I will wear something. But you can at least let me take a shower first. I will leave your clothes here. Come out. I am going to take a shower. You want to join me?"

Li Na ran out of the bathroom screaming. Feng Yu was laughing at her. She looked at the clothes on the coffee table. Not only there were top and pants, but there were also even undergarments! Li Na blushes again.

When Feng Yu finished his shower, Li Na was already making breakfast in the kitchen. Both did not eat much during dinner last night, and both had done some strenuous exercise. They were starving.

At the dining table, Feng Yu was eating breakfast and looking at Li Na. Li Na dared not to look at Feng Yu and kept looking down.

"Nana, where do you want to go today? How about visiting the Summer Palace or the Forbidden City?"

"I want to go back to my dormitory."

"What's so fun at your dormitory? Let me bring you out, and tomorrow I will send you back to school. Eh…. Nana, why are you crying?"

Feng Yu was nervous. Why did Li Na cry suddenly?

"Will I get pregnant? If I am pregnant, my teachers and classmates will know. My parents will also know. What should I do? What about school? We are not married yet……" Li Na was crying.

"Don't worry about this. You will not get pregnant. It is your safe period now. What is the safe period? Safe period is the period when the chances of pregnancy are the lowest. No… Is the period where you will not get pregnant. This is science. There are also students in their 30s in universities. Their children were old enough to run about. They can also carry on with their studies in the University. If not, I will call your parents later and tell them that I want to marry you."

"You cannot call my father. My Father will kill me……"

"Ok, ok…… Don't worry. I am around. Later we will go out and enjoy ourselves."

"I am not going anywhere. It's still painful……" Li Na wiped her tears.

Huh? Feng Yu slapped his forehead. He had forgotten about this. Li Na should not be walking around now. She should not be making breakfast.

"After breakfast, you go and take a nap. We will not go anywhere today. We can go when you feel like it." Feng Yu looked at Li Na lovingly and wiped her tears.

After breakfast, Feng Yu bring Li Na to the bedroom, and he went to wash the dishes.

After cleaning up the kitchen, he washes their clothes before returning back to the bedroom. Feng Yu softly opened the door, and Li Na was staring at him. She had covered herself with the blanket, and it was evident that she was wearing the new clothes too.

"Why are you wearing all the clothes when you are taking a nap?" Feng Yu walked over and wanted to help Li Na take off her clothing.

Li Na grabbed on to her clothes: "No more, Feng Yu. Please… I cannot take it."

Feng Yu smiled: "What are you thinking? I only want you to have a good nap. I will be outside watching TV."

"No……" Li Na grabbed Feng Yu's hand, "Don't go. Sing a song for me first. I can't sleep."

Feng Yu patted Li Na's hand and said: "Let me get my guitar from the study room."

Feng Yu sat on a chair beside the bed with his guitar and asked: "What song do you want to hear?"

"I like whatever songs you sing. But I like that song that you sang during the Soviet Union Summer Camp."

Feng Yu frowned: "That song is not auspicious. That song is about a guy that did not return from war, and the girl was waiting for him. How about I sing a new song for you? I had specially written this song for you."

Feng Yu suddenly recall a beautiful song. It was from the song tracks of a famous drama he had watched in his previous life. This song had become famous throughout the whole of China.

Li Na was looking forward to this song. It was specially written for her?

"I will be by your side, I will never turn back; Every move is like my heartbeat. I will stay by your side, I will never let go; I will stay here with you forever until we both grow old. Looking through the clouds, from the horizons, the rainbow. I will never forget you……"

Li Na had thought that this song will not be anything special. Feng Yu had only played a chord on his guitar. But when Feng Yu sang this song, the lyrics touched her.

Tears welled up in her eyes. Was this Feng Yu's promise to her? He will always be by my side and will never let go?

After Feng Yu finished his song, he was immersed in his own world. Although he did not play the guitar well, he had sung quite well. When he opened his eyes, he saw Li Na crying again. Why was she crying?

"What's wrong? Why are you crying again? Is my singing so awful?" Feng Yu asked.

"Haha…… Who said your singing is awful? No one could have sung better than you." Li Na burst out laughing in the midst of crying.

"I am better than the Little Tigers?" The Little Tigers was Li Na's favorite boy's group.

"Even better than them!" Li Na replied.

"Then you have to give me a kiss as my reward." Feng Yu lean forward.

"Stop it. You can go out now. I want to sleep." Li Na covered her face with the blanket.

As Feng Yu was leaving the room, Li Na shouted at him: "Wait. Sing that song again. I want to listen to it again."

"Fine. I will sing as many times as you like. This time I will not play the guitar. I will be by your side, I will never turn back; Every move is like my heartbeat. I will stay by your side, I will never let go……"

Feng Yu sang two more times until Li Na closes her eyes.

Feng Yu slowly walk out of the room, taking care not to make any noise. Li Na opened her eyes and smiled…..

At the bathroom, Feng Yu hang Li Na clothes. He also washes her panties by hand.

Feng Yu kept smiling to himself. He was still thinking about the beautiful moment last night and this morning.

After washing the clothes, Feng Yu had nothing to do. He saw that his house was a bit messy, and he starts to tidy up. He also took out his prized videotape out of the player and keep it in a safe place in his study room. This was to prevent Li Na from throwing it away.

After cleaning up the whole house, Feng Yu still feel bored. After so much exercise, he was still feeling very energetic!

That evening after dinner, Li Na still wanted to return back to her dormitory. Feng Yu used the excuse of her clothes were not dry yet and managed to make Li Na spend another night at his apartment.

When they went to bed, Feng Yu told Li Na that he would not do anything, but he lied……

The afternoon next day, Feng Yu sent Li Na back to her University. Li Na said that she will not go to his apartment again. Feng Yu just laugh. He knew that Li Na will go to his apartment again. Li Na is now in the palm of his hand.

It was the official start of Feng Yu's lesson. Feng Yu was starting to get used to the life of a university student. He wakes up at 7 am every day, washes up and went for a jog. After breakfast, he would go for his classes.

During lessons, Feng Yu paid attention and even took down notes. He would also consult his lecturers after the class ended.

Feng Yu used his "Zhonghua cigarettes and Maotai" tactics on his Management teachers, and they were willing to explain to him the things that he was not sure. They felt that Feng Yu was a hardworking student. They knew that Feng Yu was from a wealthy family and he would have a bright future!

All the lecturers from the Management faculty thought highly of Feng Yu, but the lecturer that taught Russian was not happy with Feng Yu. Feng Yu had paid attention in other classes, but he will sleep throughout his Russian classes.

Sleeping in class was an insult to this Russian lecturer.

"Feng Yu, stand up and read out this sentence. What does this lesson mean? Explain to the whole class." The lecturer pointed to a Russian sentence on the blackboard.

"This sentence is read as Пpышлehhtь rвлretcr вaжhon гyдapctвehhon эkohnчeckon hoвы. It means that industrialization is an important foundation of a country." Feng Yu read out that sentence fluently and translated it to Chinese accurately.

Huh? The Lecturer was surprised. He knew that Feng Yu had gotten a place in this University was because he was good in his English and Russian. But he never expects him to be so good. Even if his Russian is good, he should not be sleeping in class.

"Sit down. Meet me after the lesson ends."

The rest of the students looked at Feng Yu. He's finished. Professor Lu cannot stand students sleeping in his class.

After class, Feng Yu was brought to Professor Lu's office. Professor Lu took out a Russian book and pass it to Feng Yu: "You read this page to me and then translate it into Mandarin."

Feng Yu looked at the book. It was in the original Russian language. He had read this novel several times in his previous life. He even owns this book. If it was other books, Feng Yu might not be able to translate fast. But he does not have any problems with this book!

Feng Yu read out two passages and immediately translated it into Mandarin.

Not only Professor Lu, but all the other lecturers in the office were also surprised. This student's Russian was even better than them. Even they could not translate from Russian to Mandarin so fast. Feng Yu was indeed a genius.

Professor Lu had wanted to use this opportunity to reprimand Feng Yu to make him pay attention in class and not to be so proud. But it seems that his plan had backfired. Feng Yu appears to be even more conceit.

Feng Yu also knew that Professor Lu had wanted to teach him a lesson. He was also helpless. He had asked around. This Professor Lu does not smoke or drink. He does not even accept dinner invitations from students. Feng Yu could not give him any gifts to pull strings.

In this era, even all the top officials of China smoke. Why was this Professor so different? Smoking is good. When you got nothing to do, you can make some smoke rings. Feng Yu was even willing to give this professor a lifetime supply of cigarettes in exchange for some special treatment.

"Cough…… Feng Yu, your translation is quite good, but you should not be proud. You should know that you must carry on learning. You must pay attention in class. Your parents had sent you to school is for your future and for you to make contributions to the country! You should not relax after you entered the university. There are still so much for you to learn……"

Professor Lu lectured Feng Yu for more than half an hour. Even Feng Yu was feeling thirsty, but Professor Lu did not even take a sip of water. While being lectured, Feng Yu was looking around Professor Lu's desk. He noticed that there were many Russian classical literatures. But it was not the full set. Could it be that Professor Lu did not manage to get the complete collection?

Feng Yu knew how to bribe this old professor!

"You understand?"

"Yes, Professor Lu. I will go back and work hard. Oh, my friend has the book and many other famous Russian classics. My dormitory is too small to keep them. Can I leave those books with you?"

Professor Lu had an excited expression and said: "Your dormitory is a bit small to keep so many books. You can bring it to me. If you need it, you can come to me anytime."

Once out of Professor Lu's office, Feng Yu smiled. He had successfully settled another lecturer!

……

"Eh, Feng Yu, you are back. I heard that you are called to Professor Lu's office. How is it? Did he punish you?" Feng Yu's dormitory leader Tian Lei asked. Feng Yu was number 4 in this dormitory regarding age. This was better than his previous life where he was the youngest. Feng Yu suddenly thought about his classmates from his previous life. Did they enter the same university? Did their life change after his time travel?

"Nope. Professor Lu was good to me. Have you guys eaten?"

"Not yet. We had just come back from classes. Let's go and eat." Tian Lei and the rest took out their trays and were about to go to the school's cafeteria. Feng Yu knew that they were waiting for him to eat together.

These dorm mates were really nice to him, especial this Tian Lei.

"Keep all your trays. Today I am in a good mood. Let me treat all of you at the restaurant opposite the school. We can also have some drinks. We will only leave after one of us is drunk." After entering University, Feng Yu finally dares to invite others to drink. It was because two of his dorm mates were not good drinkers. They would be dead drunk after a glass of beer!

All of them did not reject Feng Yu's offer. They knew Feng Yu was extremely rich. Just the first day in school, Feng Yu had bought an apartment. Furthermore, Feng Yu's dressing was shouting "I am rich!". They even heard that Feng Yu had a diamond watch which was worth more than his newly bought apartment!

All of them were impressed by Feng Yu. His family was so wealthy, and he could still enter Beijing University. This shows that Feng Yu had studied hard.

When they were drinking, Feng Yu's pager beeped. Feng Yu frowned. Why was Fu Guangzheng looking for him so urgently?

After returning from the phone booth, everyone could tell Feng Yu was excited.

Feng Yu had asked Fu Guagzheng to look for a genius he heard off in his previous life. Jiang Wanmeng!

In the future years, Jiang Wanmeng had many identities like Engineer, entrepreneur, etc.

But Jiang Wanmeng was most famous for being the inventor of VCD. He had changed the world with this invention!

This can be considered the first time China had to lead the world with an electronic product. But it only lasted for 3 years. Jiang Wanmeng and his partner set up a company called Wanyan Inc., and he disappeared from the limelight. It was because he did not apply for the patent and the Japanese had patented this technology.

Jiang Wanmeng was not still a manager at a research facility's subsidiary company. Although he had some shares in this company, his total wealth amounted to only 1 to 2 million RMB. Compared to others, he might seem successful. But to Feng Yu, he was just a poor engineer!

Jiang Wanmeng's company was manufacturing TV, and it was doing well. Their market was limited to the local province, and Jiang Wanmeng was just researching on TV-related technologies.

Based on history, Jiang Wanmeng would be attending an exhibition in the US next year, and he saw a technology invented by a Chinese American, Sun Yanshen, which can compress a picture file into a microchip. This technology gave him the inspiration to start to develop VCD.

But now, this would not happen. It was because Feng Yu had bought the compressing technology from Sun Yanshen company!

During the past summer, Feng Yu had asked his lawyer Wilson to make a trip to the US. He had instructed Wilson to do two things. First, it was to buy as many Microsoft shares as possible.

Microsoft had just stopped their corporation with IBM and Apple. Their share prices were now at rock bottom.

Some of Microsoft shareholders had wanted to sell off their shares, and Wilson had brought a large amount of USD to buy over their shares. Wilson was like a god of fortune to them.

Although the market value of Microsoft at this time was over 1 billion USD, these shareholders had already made lots of profits. When Microsoft was listed in 1986, it was only worth 2 million USD. Those shareholders were criticising Bill Gates for their fallout with Apple and IBM.

Paul Allen, the second biggest shareholder of Microsoft, had returned to the board of directors last year, and he was also cited as one of the reasons for the company's poor performance. He had his own company and had been selling off his Microsoft shares over the past few years to raise funds for his private company.

Wilson had acted very fast. He did not care whether if the Microsoft shares were still falling. He offered high prices for these shares and had acquired a few hundred million worths of shares. Feng Yu was not the official third-largest shareholder of Microsoft. He now owns 18% of shares. Now, Bill Gates, Paul Allen and Feng Yu own more than 90% of Microsoft.

Among these shares, a part of it had no voting rights. Feng Yu does not care. He will only attend the shareholders meeting and was not interested in meddling with Microsoft operations.

With Bill Gates running Microsoft, Feng Yu does not need to do anything. From next year, Microsoft shares will rise rapidly. By 1995, Microsoft will be worth more than 20 billion USD! That would be the time when Bill Gates became the richest man in the world. He will be holding on to this title for several years!

After the separation, Apple and IBM will also suffer losses for these two years. They need to focus on both the hardware and software. Not many companies can be like these two companies.

The second task was to contact Sun Yanshen. Wilson had used 18 million USD to buy the compressing technology from him. Although it was overpriced, Feng Yu wanted to get this technology fast and apply for a patent.

This technology was patented, and Feng Yu had own all the rights to this technology!

In Feng Yu's previous life, Sun Yanshen will be introducing this technology at a TV technology exhibition next year. But now, this technology is in Feng Yu's hands, and Feng Yu was not interested in showcasing this technology at the exhibition.

Feng Yu wants to give this technology to Jiang Wanmeng to let him invent VCD. In Feng Yu's previous life, Jiang Wanmeng had only used less than 600,000 USD to develop VCD.

In this life, Feng Yu will give Jiang Wanmeng 1 million or even 10 million USD for him to develop VCD. Feng Yu wants the VCD to be developed as soon as possible at all cost.

This would be a monopoly. It will bring him high profits, just like his humidifiers and bladeless fans. There will be no competitors, and the profits will be stable.

In the previous life, after VCD was launched, more than 100 million units were sold within 2 years. The profits were at least 1 billion USD!

Having bought the technology, Feng Yu was not assured to let others research on it and to develop VCD. This was a technological breakthrough. Sometimes, it will need talent and luck. This was the reason why Feng Yu asked Fu Guangzheng to look for Jiang Wanmeng.

Fu Guangzheng was also confused. The person Feng Yu was looking for, was only an engineer at a TV factory. There was nothing special about him, yet Feng Yu was willing to spend his money to search for this person.

Was this person worth spending so much effort to look for him? Even in China, there were lots of engineers that was more famous than this Jiang Wanmeng. Why did Feng Yu just wanted this guy?

Fu Guangzheng felt that Feng Yu must have thought of some new ideas to make money and he need this person to help him. Could it be that Feng Yu wants to manufacture TV sets?

There were many TV factories in China. Outshining all the factories was difficult. Fu Guangzheng could not tell how Feng Yu would be able to beat the rest of the competitors. Manufacturing a bigger TV set or a better screen?

If Feng Yu wanted to go into TV manufacturing, should he follow? Feng Yu would not be able to manage so many companies by himself. If he tells Feng Yu, Feng Yu might allow him to buy a stake in this project.

But can manufacturing TV really make money?

Fu Guangzheng had found Jiang Wanmeng a few days ago and had been in touch with him. He did not see anything special about Jiang Wanmeng. He only felt that this person had ambition and creativity. But many people in China were like this too!

Fu Guangzheng called his eldest uncle Fu Rongqi and told him about this. Fu Rongqi was also puzzled. He also does not know what Feng Yu was thinking. In the end, he asked Fu Guangzheng to inform Feng Yu that he had found Jiang Wanmeng.

Fu Rongqi was also curious about what Feng Yu was planning to invest. He needs to know more about this before he can decide whether to let Fu Guangzheng tag along.

Jiang Wanmeng had been found, and he will be coming to Beijing to meet Feng Yu. Feng Yu also called Wilson to go to Beijing tomorrow. He must recruit Jiang Wanmeng!

Jiang Wanmeng had arrived in Beijing with Fu Guangzheng. He was feeling uneasy. Fu Guangzheng was a successful Hong Kong businessman and had lots of investments in China.

Jiang Wanmeng was deeply impressed with Fu Guangzheng after he found out that Fu Guangzheng was the main overseas distributor for Wind and Rain Humidifiers and bladeless fans. Although it was with the help of the rest of the Fu family, it was still impressive for someone at his age to have such achievement.

He thought that Fu Guangzheng was looking for him to talk about contract jobs. His company can act as contractors to manufacture some electronics components. This was his company main revenue. He was surprised that Fu Guangzheng was looking for him on behalf of someone else.

This person was the inventor of the humidifier and bladeless fans, and he was still a student at Beijing University.

Jiang Wanmeng choked on his own cigarette smoke when he learns about this. The humidifiers and bladeless fans were considered the pride of China now. These were products that were exported all over the world, and it was invented by a university student? Oh, wait… when he developed these products, he was still in High school!

There were lots of genius in this world, and he was about to meet one of them. But he was still not sure what was the purpose of this meeting. He had asked Fu Guangzheng, and he does not know what's the reason too.

Although Jiang Wanmeng knew that Feng Yu was still attending university, when they met, Jiang Wanmeng was still surprised how ordinary Feng Yu was.

"Mr. Jiang, nice to meet you. I am Feng Yu." It was a simple introduction, but Jiang Wanmeng felt there was some pressure. This was a genius inventor.

Jiang Wanmeng did not know that Feng Yu had only given the idea and he cannot be considered the inventor. If Feng Yu was to invent by himself, he might be able to succeed if he used the rest of his life to working on it.

"Mr. Feng, I am Jiang Wanmeng from Modern Company. Can I ask why you are looking for me?" Jiang Wanmeng was still confused.

"Mr. Jiang, you are into TV-related technology. I will show you one technology. See if you can get any inspiration from this technology."

Feng Yu waved his hands, and someone came over and showed the picture compressing technology.

Jiang Wanmeng was glued to this presentation. He did not even hear the others calling him. He had too many things going through in his head.

This technology at first look, it was nothing much. But Jiang Wanmeng felt that this technology can be used to store both picture and audio into a small CD, and it will become a video compact disc. This will be an era-changing product!

"Mr. Feng, what is the theory behind this technology?" Jiang Wanmeng excitedly asked.

But after asking, Jiang Wanmeng regretted. This was an important technology and why would Feng Yu tell him about the details?

Feng Yu smiled and looked at Jiang Wanmeng: "Mr. Jiang, you want to know? Maybe you already have an idea on how to make use of this technology? I can tell you more about this technology, but are you sure you only want to know the theory behind this technology?"

Although Jiang Wanmeng was only an engineer and a manager, he knew how important technologies were to a company. Feng Yu was willing to tell him about this technology, that means he must have something Feng Yu needs.

"Mr. Feng, you can just tell me straight what you want from me." Jiang Wanmeng replied seriously.

"Mr. Jiang, what do you think about our country's electronic products? Our TV production is already the world's number 3. The production of the other electronic products was also increasing. Can China be considered an electronic products production country?" Feng Yu asked.

"It is only on the surface. Now it may seem that our electronic industry is growing well, but it is not true. For example, the televisions my factory produces, we do not have the technology to produce the core components. We need to import them. This will restrict our product development. The cost will be higher, and we do not get high profits. Most of the earnings are taken away from those companies that own those core technologies. Most of these companies were from Japan. This is the same for other electronic products. All the core technologies were owned by foreigners, and we are just assembly workers."

Jiang Wanmeng was furious when he spoke about this. Just the TV manufacturing industry, most of their profits were taken away by the foreigners.

Now, Jiang Wanmeng could see the potential of Feng Yu's technology, and if this technology were used in video and audio products, it would put China way ahead of the other countries.

Feng Yu nodded: "I can tell that Mr. Jiang is unhappy about the current situation. Have you ever considered to produce our own electronic product that will change the world?"

To create our own products that will change the world? Jiang Wanmeng was shocked. He did not expect Feng Yu's dream to be bigger than his!

"Mr. Feng, pardon me for saying this. Even with this technology, China will also not be the forerunners of the electronic industry. Maybe at most China will be one of the top 10 countries."

Feng Yu laughed: "Do you know about Walkman? The popular AIWA brand Walkman."

"I know about AIWA Walkman. My company had also bought a few of them. We can manufacture most of the components, but the core component like the magnetic head was too difficult to manufacture. We do not have the technology. The Walkman we produced is too big and heavy. The sound quality is also poor."

Now, the companies in China only knew how to copy others. Most of those state-owned enterprises or former military factories converted to civilian factories were all doing these. The products they copied the most were electronics products.

"So, Mr. Jiang thinks that AIWA Walkman technologies are good?"

"It is more than good. AIWA technologies can be considered the best among all the Walkman brands." Jiang Wanmeng sighed. "I heard that AIWA was a Japanese company but was bought over by a Chinese businessman. Now, AIWA can be considered our China's pride."

When Jiang Wanmeng finished saying this, he saw Feng Yu had a proud look on his face. Why are you smiling so proudly when I am praising AWIA? Suddenly Jiang Wanmeng had an alarming thought.

"Mr. Feng, are you the one that had bought AIWA?"

Feng Yu looked at Fu Guangzheng and asked unhappily: "Brother Fu, didn't I tell you not to tell anyone about this. Why did you tell him?"

Fu Guangzheng replied: "I did not say anything. Mr. Jiang guessed it himself."

Fu Guangzheng was thinking in his heart. You are the one that keeps talking about AIWA and isn't it normal for Jiang Wanmeng to guess it? Also, you have the words "I am the boss of AIWA." written all over your face!

Jiang Wanmeng was shocked. Feng Yu was the Chinese boss of AIWA. AIWA can be considered the giant of China's electronics industry!

This meant that Feng Yu had the capabilities to use this picture compressing technology and developed his own products. Why was Feng Yu looking for him?

"Mr. Jiang, are you interested in using my technology and creating a video and audio product which will create a revolution in the video and audio electronics industry?"

Jiang Wanmeng was thinking in his heart. This should be his main agenda.

Feng Yu really wants to develop this product. Jiang Wanmeng knew that Feng Yu intends to recruit him. Although this project was exciting, his interest was not that big.

Feng Yu was asking if he wants to remain a big fish in a small pond or to join him.

Jiang Wanmeng was now a general manager at his company. Even though this company was a subsidiary of a research facility, he was still a shareholder.

If he joins Feng Yu, he could get access to the technologies he wanted, but he would become an engineer again. He does not want to be an engineer still. If he were willing to remain as an engineer, he would not leave the research facility to set up this company.

"Mr. Jiang, isn't it your dream to make China one of the leaders in the electronics industry? Don't you want to pursue your dream with me? If your dreams become a reality, you will get all the credit, and your name will be recorded in the history books!"

Jiang Wanmeng really wanted to tell Feng Yu that he wants his name to be in the history books. But he wants to be the person who invented this new product and not one of the people who invented this product.

"Mr. Feng, let me think about it."

Feng Yu raised his eyebrows. Seems like it was too difficult to recruit him by talking about dreams. If Jiang Wanmeng was willing to settle for a stable and normal life, he would not leave the research facility and set up a subsidiary company for the facility.

Since he started a company, then money should be one of his motivating factors.

Looking at Jiang Wanmeng's troubled expression, Feng Yu continued: "Mr. Jiang, I know that you are now the general manager of your company and your net worth is a few million. If I ask you to work for me, you will surely reject. But if I am willing to let you own some shares? I am saying that if you are willing to cooperate with me, I can let you invest in the company."

In Feng Yu's past life, Jiang Wanmeng raised a few million USD of research funds. In this life, this had been brought forward, but he should be able to raise at least 1 or 2 million.

This new company, not counting the cost of the technologies, was worth about 20 million USD. Based on the profits that VCD would bring in the future, Feng Yu was very generous to let Jiang Wanmeng buy some shares in this company.

Jiang Wanmeng looked up, what? Feng Yu was willing to sell some shares to him?

"Mr. Feng, can you tell me the details of this cooperation?"

Jiang Wanmeng was tempted, and Feng Yu was relieved.

"Currently, I own this picture compressing technology. I had paid almost 20 million USD for this technology. You think it is not worth so much? But if this technology can help us develop a new video and audio product, then we can monopolize the video market, and the profits will be much more than whatever I invested. I decided to invest 20 million USD in setting up a factory to produce this product which I am naming it as Video Compact Disc, VCD. This VCD will replace all the video cassette tapes and players. It will replace the current Karaoke system. This will be a new electronic product! How many profits do you think we will get if we monopolize the market?"

Jiang Wanmeng was breathing hard. Monopoly means exceptionally high profits!

"That means I will be investing 40 million USD. How much can you invest?"

Jiang Wanmeng suddenly felt like an inflated balloon. Feng Yu had invested 40 million USD, and he knew that it was a marked-up figure. That technology was not worth 20 million USD. But that technology was the only one in the world. He could not argue with Feng Yu about how much it was worth. He could see the potential of this VCD.

But he does not have money. Although he was the general manager of his company, the most he had was about 1 million USD. With his connections, he should be about to raise a total of 2 million USD.

That means the most he could get was only about 2% of the shares. This would be just like he was working for Feng Yu. He wants at least 10% shares!

"I can raise about 3 million USD. This was the best I can do. But as what you said, I can do the product development with this technology. This should not be a problem. My company's research staffs were all skilled. We can solve a lot of problems for you. Can I get more shares?" Jiang Wanmeng asked.

Feng Yu had also planned to let Jiang Wanmeng be in charge of developing the product. If Jiang Wanmeng does not have enough staff, Feng Yu could still transfer some people from AIWA. But this should be the last resort. There were many skilled technicians and engineers in China.

In Feng Yu 's previous life, Jiang Wanmeng could develop the VCD by himself. Even though Sun Yanshen's company had helped him slightly, but it was only putting the picture compressing technology into a circuit board.

Feng Yu could let Jiang Wanmeng settle all the RD work. Feng Yu was willing to spend. He has the money, but he needs more technical staffs.

"Mr. Jiang, how long do you need to produce a prototype?"

"6 months should be sufficient! If there are enough funds, I think 5 months should be possible." Jiang Wanmeng said confidently.

Feng Yu nodded: "Okay. Then how many shares do you, and your team wants?"

Feng Yu was clear that he does not only want to recruit Jiang Wanmeng. He wants to hire his team too.

Jiang Wanmeng thought for a while and said: "I will invest 3 million USD, together with my team, I think the total value is about 5 million USD!"

Jiang Wanmeng said a high price. If Feng Yu does not agree, then there is still room for negotiations.

Feng Yu turned to Fu Guangzheng: "Brother Fu, I will let you handle the overseas sales. You want to take 5 million USD to invest too?

Fu Guangzheng was overjoyed. Feng Yu had invited him to invest with him. He knew that Feng Yu saw the hard work he put in for the Machinery Company.

This VD thingy sounds profitable. He does not even need to ask his family for this 5 million USD. It was a small amount to him.

"Brother Feng, thanks. I have 5 million USD ready. I will also promise you that I will take care of the overseas sales. I will make sure our products can reach all corners of the world!"

Feng Yu turned to Wilson. Wilson had already taken out some documents and passed it to Feng Yu.

"Here, take a look. If there are no problems, you can sign this contract. The registration of the company, Brother Fu will settle. We will use Wind and Rain Electronics for the name of this company. Using Wind and Rain brand will save us the marketing cost. Any problems?"

Fu Guangzheng and Jiang Wanmeng read the contract. It stated clearly that Feng Yu would be using technologies, brand, and cash to invest in this company. He will own 80% of the shares. Fu Guangzheng would be using cash to invest and will be in charging of the management of the company. He will be getting 10% of the shares. Jiang Wanmeng will be using cash to invest, and he will be in charge of the RD. He will also be owning 10%. Everything was as what they had discussed. Wilson only added one more page to the contract which stated the exact investment from each party.

This contract was prepared before this meeting, and Feng Yu had already known the outcome. Feng Yu was too scary!

Both of them looked at each other and nodded: "We are fine with it!"

This will be the start of Wind and Rain VCD taking the world by storm!

Fu Guangzheng returned to Hong Kong, and he started to prepare for the Wind and Rain VCD overseas sales. He assembles a team and begins to contact Hong Kong's movie and music companies. He bought the rights of many movies and songs.

When Fu Rongjing learned about this, he scolded Fu Guangzheng.

"Who told you to do this? The prototype is not even ready, and you are setting the sales team. This was a waste of manpower. What can your team do not? Contact the dealers? You think your cost is too low? You don't need to pay their salaries?"

"Dad, this is what Feng Yu wanted. He wants to introduce this product to the market once it is ready. He wants to capture the market fast." Fu Guangzheng explained.

"What does Feng Yu know? The product does not even exist now. What's the hurry? You think selling a new product is so simple? Disband your team now and stop the hiring!"

"Dad, I am this sales company's main shareholder and representative!" Fu Guangzheng retorted.

Fu Rongjing was furious: "What did you say? Who do you think you are speaking to? I dare you to repeat it!"

If Fu Rongjing did not transfer his shares to Fu Guangzheng, how can Fu Guangzheng become the main shareholder? If it wasn't for Fu Rongjing persuading his eldest brother, how can Fu Guangzheng become this company's representative?

Now, this useless son does not even listen to him. He only talks about Feng Yu day in day out. Does he really want to venture out on his own?

"Dad, calm down. Wind and Rain Electronics is paying for this sales team. We do not need to pay them their salaries. These people are still working for our company. We can just let them familiarise with the operations or do some market research. They are being groomed by us." Fu Guangzheng explained.

"Huh? Wind and Rain Electronics is paying them? Good. You have done well. But do you need so many people to do market research? And why are you contacting those music and movies companies? What are you up to? You still want to sell videotapes and cassettes?"

When Fu Rongjing heard that they were not the ones paying the salaries, he felt better. This son of mine is really like me. He knows how to make use of other people's resources as his own.

When Fu Rongjing knew that Fu Guangzheng had invested in this Wind and Rain Electronics, he was angry. China's electronics industry was not worth investing. If it were AIWA, Fu Rongjing would support his son to invest. But what is this VCD they are developing? He had never heard of such things before!

Fu Rongjing was furious because Fu Guangzheng does not know what VCD was and he invested 5 million USD for only 10% shares.

Fu Guangzheng had been making lots of money nowadays. But 5 million USD was still not a small amount. There were better investments around. Even if this 5 million were invested in the Forex market like Fu Rongqi, there would be high returns.

Fu Rongjing also knew that Feng Yu had a Midas touch. All his investments made money. But they knew about all the products Feng Yu sold. This VCD was something very new to them. They do not know anything about it. What product of the future? This slogan might sound nice, but it was not even developed. Even the humidifiers and bladeless fans cannot be considered products of the future. Can this VCD be more profitable than the humidifiers?

You want to invest in this VCD, okay. It was at least considered a type of home appliances. But why are you buying the movie and music rights? The Chinese market was still very conservative. How many Hong Kong movies and songs were permitted to enter China?

"Dad, the product we are producing is called VCD. It is a compact disc which can store movies and audios. Now, in the market, there are two types of videos. One is the traditional Video Cassette tapes, and the other is the LaserDisc. Videotapes are cheap, but LD cost at least 100 USD a piece! There are also two types of music. Cassette Tapes and CD."

"We now own a new technology that can compress pictures and audio. We are able to store a 100-minute movie into two small CD! The cost is not even one-tenth of an LD. This was still an estimation from our RD department. Once we start to mass produce, the cost will be even lower than that. Don't you think there is a huge potential for this product?"

Fu Rongjing immediately guessed: "So, this is the reason why you are buying the rights to the movies and music. You are preparing to produce these CDs?"

"Yes. We will produce the VCD players, and we must let our consumers have the CDs to play on the players. That's why we need to have movies and music VCDs for sales. The profits for these VCDs will not be low too."

"you are just looking at the profits. But even if your VCD is only one-tenth of the cost of an LD, but it is still more expensive than a videotape. I have a video cassette player and videotapes, why should I buy your product?"

Feng Yu, Jiang Wanmeng and Fu Guangzheng had discussed this question too. However, Feng Yu only asked one question back, and they got the answer. "Many families have electric fans that cost less than 10 USD, but why are they still spending a few hundred USD to buy our bladeless fans?"

Fu Guangzheng's reply at that time was: "Bladeless fans is an innovative hi-tech product, and it is well designed, quiet and easy to clean. Although it is expensive compared to the Air conditioner, it was still much cheaper. Different products suit different market segments."

Feng Yu told him: "This VCD is also the same. It is more expensive than the Video Cassette players but much cheaper than the LD players. The VCD is also much cheaper than the LDs. LD was able to enter the market was because of its high-quality pictures. Those Japanese companies had made lots of money from this LD. The VCD also have better picture quality than the videotapes and was almost as good as the LD. Furthermore, we will not only sell movie VCDs. We must also sell music VCDs. This will be a revolutionary product for the Karaoke industry!"

Karaoke was invented by the Japanese, and it was popular throughout the world. But the Karaoke now only had music. There were no pictures nor lyrics. This was a test of the singing skills.

In the future, after the launched of the VCD, many of it were bought by the Karaoke lounges. These music VCDs allows the consumers to sing to their heart's content without the need to memorize the song's lyrics.

Feng Yu had successfully convinced Fu Guangzheng. He had made Fu Guangzheng believes that once this VCD player is out in the market, and there were sufficient variety of movies and music VCDs, it will be a hit! This product can quickly change the world!

After hearing Fu Guangzheng's explanation, Fu Rongjing was lost in his thoughts. He felt that what Feng Yu said made sense. If they were able to market this product well, there would be no problem with this VCD sales. The profits might even be higher than the humidifiers and bladeless fans.

"Guangzheng, you have done well. Work hard and don't disappoint me. What I just said to you is to encourage you." Fu Rongjing patted on Fu Guangzheng's shoulders and smile.

Fu Guangzheng: "……" You nearly gave me a beating just now, and you are telling me that it was to encourage me?

Fu Guangzheng returned back a few days after leaving Beijing.

"What are you here again?" Feng Yu asked in a not so nice tone.

Fu Guangzheng was confused. He did not offend Feng Yu. He had already set up the sales team, and the market research had been completed.

He had also gotten the rights for the movies and music in Hong Kong. He had also contacted the companies in the US and Europe. He had done everything within a few days and yet Feng Yu was speaking to him in this tone?

"You are in a bad mood? What happened?"

Fu Guangzheng does not know that today was a weekend and Feng Yu had a date with Li Na. Li Na's period was next week, and Feng Yu could not do anything with her next week. Li Na had agreed to this date today, but because of Fu Guangzheng, Feng Yu had to postpone the date.

Feng Yu waved his hand: "I am just in a bad mood. Something bad must have happened for you to be here."

Feng Yu just pushed the blame to Fu Guangzheng. He will not admit that it was his fault.

Fu Guangzheng smiled bitterly: "I have some bad news for you!"

Damn, there was really bad news.

All the businesses that Feng Yu worked with Fu Guangzheng were all his most profitable businesses. Feng Yu does not want anything wrong to happen to these businesses.

"What bad news?"

"Our company is being sued. Errmmm…. I think Tai Hua trading will also be sued soon!"

Huh? Tai Hua Trading will be sued? Fu Guangzheng sales company will also be sued? That means it must be related to the humidifiers or the bladeless fans.

"Is it the humidifiers or the bladeless fans? Are there any problems with the quality?" Feng Yu frowned. These two products did not encounter any problems in his previous life. How come when he produced these products, he faces these problems? It must be those people at the Aviation Factory who had missed out on something during the development stage!

"There is no problem with the quality. They are suing us for creating a monopoly!"

Shit, monopoly?

Feng Yu was frustrated. He had applied for the patents, and this was to prevent others from imitating his products. He wants to create a monopoly to maximize his profits. He had forgotten about the Antitrust laws in the western countries. Monopolies were not allowed in those countries.

"Will we lose this case? How much will we be fined?" Feng Yu listlessly asked.

Fu Guangzheng was curious. There was no such law in China and how come Feng Yu was willing to accept this news? How did he know about the fines for companies that created monopolies in the Western countries?

"Who says we will lose? We will not lose this case, and we might even make use of this lawsuit to create publicity!" Fu Guangzheng proudly said.

Feng Yu's mood was like a roller coaster. Win against an Antitrust lawsuit?

In his previous life, no companies had won against an Antitrust lawsuit. Many MNC, including those from Fortune 500, had paid hefty fines. Typically, when people start a lawsuit, they must have collected concrete evidence. He had never heard of any companies that were being sued for creating monopolies and still won the case.

"We can win? Then are they stupid? Why are they still suing us?" Feng Yu asked.

Fu Guangzheng nearly spits out his tea. This Feng Yu changed his attitude so fast.

"The Antitrust laws stipulates some scenarios that constitute a monopoly: Buying and controlling the stocks of other firms to weaken the competitors; Entering the boards of competitors' companies, for example, being the director of several competing companies; Tying the sales of two products. By tying the sales of a second product to the first and forcing consumers to buy something that they may not need or want is a violation of the antitrust laws; Pricing discrimination. That is selling the same product at different prices to different buyers to keeping competitors out of the market; Business activities that will substantially weaken competition or to establish a monopoly……"

Feng Yu listened to Fu Guangzheng carefully. It seems that the patent owned by Wind and Rain had created a monopoly and was the cause of this lawsuit.

But Feng Yu was still protected by his patents, and this was considered a monopoly?

Feng Yu now understands why so many companies in his previous life were willing to exchange patents with other companies. This was to prevent their company from being sued with the Antitrust laws.

You claimed that I had monopolized this technology? But I had sold this technology to others, and because they don't produce the products, I need to sell to others?

"It seems that we had violated this law. Then why did you say we can win this case?" Feng Yu become listless again.

"They sued us for monopolizing this technology, and our products are priced too high. However, we did not stop any competitors from entering the market, and we did not fix the prices. We also do not tie up our products with other product. We only increased the difficulties for competitors to enter the market. If we sell our patents to another company and let them produce and sell to the Western companies, then they cannot sue us. Also, an Antitrust lawsuit will take at least 1 year. During this period, we can let another company sell their products on the market there, and we will win!" Fu Guangzheng said.

Damn, you mean that we create a competitor for ourselves? Which idiot come up with this stupid law?

Feng Yu had not thought that his Wind and Rain humidifiers and bladeless fans were selling throughout the US and Europe market. No other companies can enter this market.

Feng Yu was lucky that he did not develop industrial humidifiers. If he had done so, he would be sued a long time ago!

"Do we have other solutions?" Feng Yu does not want to let go of these profits. The overseas sales for his humidifiers and bladeless fans had brought him nearly 30 million USD in profits. As the market grows, this profit will increase further. When the patent protection is over, he would still be able to keep the majority of the market share with his established brand. There will still be high profits. He does not want to share his earnings with others.

I had only produced Ultra Sonic humidifiers, and you can sell thermal humidifiers, or electric humidifiers, cold mist humidifiers, etc. I did not monopolize the market.

You can sell regular fans or air conditioners, and I sell my bladeless fans. Why is this considered a monopoly?

"Yes, there is another solution. We can let others create imitations of our products, and we sue them for infringing on our copyrights. This will divert the attention from us. For instance, we can expose some of our patents to our competitors and let them produce the products. We will sue them after that."

Feng Yu: "……" What stupid idea is this? I would rather create a competitor for myself.

Feng Yu suddenly remembered YADU. China's biggest humidifier manufacturer from his previous life. Feng Yu had snatched the household humidifier market from them in this life. Why can't this YADU develop some new products? In China. YADU was still the leader of the industrial humidifiers.

Furthermore, the biggest humidifier company in the world was a US company. Why they did not develop new products?

Since we are being sued for monopolizing the market, then I will really monopolize the market.

"Go and contact YADU. Tell them that we are willing to share our technologies!"

Shi Feng, the General Manager of YADU and one of the shareholders, was sitting on a sofa, looking at the people in front of them.

"Manager Feng, why is your Tai Hua Trading looking for us? We are competitors." Shi Feng asked gruffly.

YADU had already developed humidifier and was about to introduce household humidifiers. But before they could introduce their product to the market, they discovered that there were already household humidifiers in the market. But it was only thermal humidifiers, and they did not care.

Based on their research, Chinese at that time had limited spending power, and not many can afford to buy those humidifiers. But soon Tai Hua Trading introduced the Ultrasonic humidifiers, and YADU knew how much profits Tai Hua Trading could make. The most surprising part was that this product was selling very well.

This produce was even exported overseas, and it was sold several times more expensive than in China.

YADU was only one step behind, and Wind and Rain brand had already captured the market. The most frustrating was this Tai Hua Trading had even patented the technology. YADU could not manufacture similar products. Even though they had introduced another type of electric humidifiers, but the household humidifier market was already owned by Wind and Rain brand. In the end, they could only concentrate on their industrial humidifiers.

But today, Tai Hua Trading people contacted him and wants to talk about cooperation. What cooperation was there to talk about between YADU and Tai Hua Trading?

"Manager Shi, our Tai Hua Trading and your YADU can be considered the leaders in China's humidifier market. We specialized in household humidifiers, and you specialized in industrial humidifiers. Your company is also selling household humidifiers in the market?"

"What's wrong? Only you can sell household humidifiers, and we cannot sell? I know you have the patents, but our products are different from yours!" When mentioned about household humidifiers, Shi Feng was furious. They had only used 3 days to figure out this ultrasonic technology, but because it was protected by patents, they could not produce!

"No, no, no. Manager Shi misunderstood us. Our purpose here is to exchange technologies with YADU!"

Shi Feng stood up: "What did you say? Exchange technologies?"

Wind and Rain Humidifiers was now the market leader, and if it were Shi Feng, he would never exchange these technologies. This Tai Hua Trading had gone bonkers?

"That's right. We want to use our humidifier technology to exchange for YADU's humidifier and dehumidifier technology. Also, we can have a fair competition and do not engage in a price war." This was just like AIWA and Sony. Fair competition, legal and cannot be considered as monopolizing the market.

"You want to enter the industrial humidifier market?" Shi Feng felt that Tai Hua Trading wants to enter the industrial market.

"Currently, we are not very interested in the industrial humidifier market. We will still be focusing on household humidifiers. However, we will produce industrial humidifiers, but it will not in high quantities. Your company's sales will not be affected.

Stop joking. In China, there was YADU, and there were many established industrial humidifiers companies overseas. Feng Yu was not confident to enter this market. He was already contented with the household humidifiers market.

Shi Feng does not understand why Tai Hua Trading wants to do this. But YADU was to stand to gain from this deal. Other than the humidifier technology, YADU had the patents of the other technologies. But other people can just modify the technologies a bit, and they could manufacture those products. However, other than the humidifiers, the market for other products was not that big. What does Tai Hua Trading want to do with those technologies?

"Just exchanging technologies? No cash involved?"

"Of course not. We will not only exchange technologies. We will also form an alliance and act as contractors to help each other manufacture products."

YADU's factory was a big factory and was located in a prime location in Beijing. If YADU was able to help Feng Yu manufacture humidifiers and dehumidifiers, it can increase Wind and Rain productions, and also lower the transportation cost. Feng Yu's factory in Dongguan will also need to help YADU to manufacture their products. Feng Yu even decided to help YADU export their products through Fu Guangzheng company. This way, it will solve their Antitrust lawsuit/.

YADU was also a Government and privately-owned enterprise. This would be better than letting those foreigners earn. Furthermore, YADU's technology in air purifying was one of the best in the world. In the future, Feng Yu might also need to work with them too.

Shi Feng thought about it. Helping each other manufacture products can also lower their cost and make use of each other advantages. This was not a bad move. Could it be that Tai Hua Trading wanted to make use of YADU's manufacturing capabilities?

Shi Feng decided to test what was Tai Hua Trading's baseline: "Manager Feng, I heard that Tai Hua Trading also owns the patent of the bladeless fan technology. Why not exchange this technology with us too? It will not be fair to use if we got to use two technologies to exchange for one technology."

Feng Yu and Fu Guangzheng looked at each other. YADU was really greedy as they had expected. Before this meeting, they had discussed this before. Since they need to upgrade the bladeless fan technology, why not use it to exchange something with YADU. YADU still have the air purifying technology. This will be a massive market in the future.

"You want the bladeless fan technology too? This should not be a problem. But you must use your air purifying and vacuum cleaner technologies to exchange for it. We will be at a disadvantage if we do this exchange. So, your side should give us some benefits in our alliance. For example, the RD to upgrade these technologies will be done on by YADU, and you must let us use it for free. Every year, you must also help us manufacture a minimum number of humidifiers, dehumidifiers, vacuum cleaners, air purifiers and bladeless fans at zero contractor fees. On my side, we will help YADU export your products to other countries. We will enter other countries' market together and earn their money for China!"

Using two technologies to exchange for one profit-making technology was a great deal. There was no reason for Shi Feng to reject. Feng Yu's additional conditions were also acceptable. The most intriguing part of this deal to Shi Feng was helping YADU exporting their products to other countries.

YADU was shouldering the whole country's dream. In 1987, a total of 170 million was invested into this company. Until now, this company had not breakeven even after they had developed so many products.

If YADU could export their products, then their profits will increase by a lot. The only condition which Shi Feng dare not to agree immediately YADU had to research and upgrade these technologies and let Tai Hua Trading use these technologies for free.

RD cost was the highest expenditure of YADU. He does not know how much Tai Hua Trading spent on RD, but it should not be low. If not, why would Feng Yu wants them to research the upgraded version of their technologies?

But Feng Yu had not invested much in developing these technologies. He had only let the Aviation Factory get part of his earnings previously. Now, Feng Yu had owned all the shares of these products.

"Manager Feng, Mr. Fu, how long will the both of you stay here in Beijing? I need to discuss with the rest of the shareholders before I can give you a reply."

"Is 3 days enough? If YADU does not accept our conditions within 3 days, we will consider other partners." Feng Yu exchanged looks with Fu Guangzheng and gave a deadline.

3 days later, YADU replied to Feng Yu. They agreed to cooperate with him. But they still need to sort out the details.

Feng Yu and Fu Guangzheng were very excited. They knew that YADU will not reject their offer. It might seem that Tai Hua Trading was at a disadvantage in this deal, but this deal will solve their lawsuit and also increase their presence in China. The happiest thing for Feng Yu was that he had gained a free RD department.

"Manager Shi, I believe that with our alliance, we would be able to grasp this market tightly in our hands."

"Manager Feng, don't you think it will be inappropriate if our new products had similar designs as yours?" Shi Feng was worried that YADU would be considered an imitation of Wind and Rain. This was not good for their reputation.

"Similar designs? No, no, no. I had already considered this problem. For example, our bladeless fans are round, and your fans can be an oval in shape. My company had already begun designing and testing it. We had planned to introduce it next year. But now, we will not introduce this design. We will let YADU use this design."

Feng Yu used a pen and drew an oval shape bladeless fan on a piece of paper. In his previous life, cylinder shape fans were the norm, but it took up too much space. The wind surface of an oval shape fan was smaller, but it was not much different if it was set to the rotation mode. Also, this design does not take up too much space and was also popular with the consumers.

The core technologies were the same for both designs. It was only the exterior that's different. Shi Feng was relieved. This way, consumers will think that it was YADU that had innovated this new design.

"Manager Feng, have you decided which research direction should we go for our new products?" Shi Feng asked. Tai Hua Trading had introduced this product for so long, and it can't be that they did not research on a new upgraded product. He wants to ask Feng Yu, and this would save them a lot of time.

Feng Yu asked him back: "Have Manager Shi gone to the south before? What do you think of the weather there?"

"Of course. I have been to the south several times. That's why we introduced the dehumidifiers. These dehumidifiers are to target the southern region markets. During winter, there is no warm air there, and it was damp and humid. I cannot stand the weather there."

Feng Yu nodded: "Then have you seen the heaters on the market? It looks like those electric heaters we use in the north."

"Of course I had seen it before. Many people in the south use them during winter."

Shi Feng looked at Feng Yu puzzledly. Feng Yu wants to manufacture electric heaters? There were not many technologies involved in those heaters, and anyone can produce it. Even if it was under the Wind and Rain brand, there were not many profits.

"Manager Shi, do you know that air conditioners also have heating functions now? Why can't our bladeless fans also incorporate warm air into it? We only need to add some heating components to it. This should not be too difficult."

Shi Feng's eyes sparkled. That's right, if the bladeless fan can produce warm air, then the sales will increase further. Consumers can still use these fans during winter and consumers from colder regions will also buy their products!

"Manager Feng is really a genius to come up with this idea. This should not be a problem. YADU is confident to develop this product within a week."

Feng Yu continued: "The mist of our humidifiers is blowing upwards now. If we can also incorporate the humidifier and bladeless fan together, then we can let the mist blow out together with the air. What do you think?"

Feng Yu had already thought about this. This was the same as his previous life. Combining many functions together in a product. This product would be a multi-functional product, and this would be the direction the home appliances industry should go. One product to solve many problems faced by the consumers.

Feng Yu had wanted to introduce this product next year. He had already controlled the market, and it doesn't matter when he introduces this multi-functional product. But now, he was facing Antitrust lawsuits, and he decided to launch this new product earlier. YADU can do the RD for him. This should not be difficult. They just need to minimize the components and combine it into a product.

Combining the humidifier and bladeless fan together as one product? That's right. Why can't we combine both? This way, it will increase the efficiency of humidifying the air and more people will buy it!

"Also, we can introduce aluminum fans. This will be more durable and at the same time, look classier. We can also use glass instead of plastic for the conventional humidifiers. By replacing parts of the exterior cover with glass, it will look more beautiful and artistic."

Although it was not easy to transport glass products, they can just sell it to the local market. Anyway, there were many wealthy people in Beijing. It would be better if they break these fans. Once they were used to the products, they will surely buy a replacement. There were many officials in Beijing, and they can sell to the government agencies. This was also a huge market.

Feng Yu had many creative ideas. Shi Feng was deeply impressed with him. He was thinking in his heart. Luckily YADU had agreed to work with Tai Hua Trading. There was no way YADU could compete with Tai Hua Trading once they introduce these products.

Now, the situation had changed. Exchanging technologies, working together and YADU's products can also be exported overseas.

If a bladeless fan can be combined with the humidifier, then it can also incorporate dehumidifying and air purifying functions. There were lots of combinations.

"Manager Feng, how should we name these multi-functional products?"

"Super fan!" Feng Yu had already thought of this name.

These combinations will be using the outlook of bladeless fans. That's why it will still be considered a fan.

With the introduction of the heating humidifiers, the air conditioner industry will be affected. Until after 1994, the air conditioners' installation charges will start to drop, and China's electricity supply situation improving, Wind and Rain will introduce air conditioners/

But Feng Yu does not need to do it himself. He can just buy over some air conditioner manufacturer plant, like the currently unknown Gree Electric Appliances Inc., or the presently popular Qiu Lan Inc. He was confident that Wind and Rain Air Conditioners will still be the market leader in China's air conditioner industry!

Also, Feng Yu can also work with YADU for the air conditioners. He could add lots of other features to his air conditioners. Now, air conditioners with heating functions were very new in the market. There were no brands that had introduced an air conditioner with a dehumidifier function.

In the future years, there will be air conditioners with UV light installed. UV lights will be installed inside the air conditioner to kill bacteria and remove the order.

YADU was a manufacturer of air purifier and had all these related technologies. But now, no one had thought of putting different functions together into a product.

One reason was also the technologies were not matured now. If too many functions were to be put together into a product, the product would be huge.

Feng Yu, Shi Feng, and Fu Guangzheng happily signed the contract, and their strategic alliance started……

After class, Feng Yu saw Wu Zhigang waiting for him outside.

"How is it? Do we have a chance to get the award?"

It was not sure when it started. China had all sorts of awards. From National level to City level. There were lots of categories, but the product that won an award can print it on the packaging. This will help the sales for the products. These types of products can even be priced higher. The consumers at this time trusted these awards.

There were lesser award categories in Longjiang, and most of these awards were given to state-owned enterprises. Wind and Rain products did not win anything despite the humidifiers, and bladeless fans were nominated for a technological category.

Feng Yu thought that he could get at least 1 award. His products were all best sellers and were even exported. From Wu Zhigang's expression, Feng Yu knew that he did not win anything.

Wu Zhigang said angrily: "Manager Feng, we will not win anything. I heard that these awards were for the state-owned enterprises. Our products were nominated was because Mayor Zhang pulled some strings. It was impossible for us to win these awards. The organizers did not take the sales volume, technology or profits into considerations. They only look at the background of the company!"

Feng Yu had forgotten to send the organizers some gifts.

"What are the products that will win the awards?"

Wu Zhigang told Feng Yu about the products that had won. Feng Yu had heard of some of these products. But the majority of these products were unheard of. He was not happy to lose to these unknown products.

"Since they do not want to give us the awards, then let's do it ourselves. We will organize an award ceremony and present awards to ourselves!"

Huh? We create an award ceremony and give the awards to ourselves? Manager Feng wants to create a fake award for themselves?

Wu Zhigang was shocked: "Manager Feng, do we need to create fake awards for ourselves? Even if our products did not win any awards, we are still doing well both in China and overseas. Will it be risky to do this?"

Feng Yu stared at Wu Zhigang: "Risky? No, no, no. There is no risk at all. You go back to your hotel first. I still have one more class. I will discuss with you at your hotel after my lessons."

In Feng Yu's previous life, many created some committees or associations and gave themselves awards. It was until many years later, these people were exposed.

Many companies were making use of these associations and committees to give awards to themselves and increases their sales.

These people engaged some professors or experts as judges. Some even got government officials to be the judges and will pay the judges for their appearances. Since Feng Yu was to organize an award ceremony, he will also have fixed winners.

Your prize is only a certificate? Our award will be more than certificates. We will give something practical, like promote this award ceremony aggressively and let the consumers know about this. This way, those award-winning products will also be in the limelight.

……

"Zhigang, you go and contact those dealers. Ask them if any impressive products did not win any awards before. We will invite these companies when we organize our own award ceremony."

"Ah? Manager Feng, will they want to come to the ceremony?"

"If the judges are from the planning committee?" Feng Yu smiled and asked.

Planning committee? This was an influential government department. If those companies knew about this, they would be queueing up to be part of this award ceremony. There was no need to invite them

Feng Yu will not want to set up some fake association. If he wants to set up an association, he will create a real association!

Master Lu can get officials to be the judges for this award ceremony. He has lots of connections with the planning committee. This association can also be registered under some planning committee. This was an easy task.

Wu Zhigang had an incredible look: "Planning committee? You are saying that our awards will be presented by the planning committee? Didn't you say this award will be organized by ourselves?"

"We will just use their name as a front. We can just donate some money to them, and they will agree. You don't need to worry about this. Now the most important thing is to get some state-owned enterprises to participate. We have to make this award as grand as possible. We must also invite some prominent brands to join. I want this award ceremony to be the most prestigious industrial award in China!"

……

"Master Lu, I'm Feng Yu. Are you in Beijing? I have some problems, and I need your help."

"Brother Feng, your problem is my problem. Tell me what happened?" Master Lu agreed to help readily. The last time he helped Feng Yu, and he got high returns. He knew that Feng Yu could easily take out 1 billion RMB for investment, he treated Feng Yu even better.

"Master Lu, I want to organize an awards ceremony for the business world…… Can you help me register this association under some planning committee? Just tell me how much it will cost. I will transfer the money over!"

Master Lu was surprised. Many people went to him for help, like getting approvals, government subsidies or awards. But this was the first time someone wanted him to help to organize an award ceremony/

What was Feng Yu planning? He…… want to give himself awards?

This was quite a difficult task, but it was not impossible. The most important thing was Feng Yu was willing to spend money. With money, all problems can be solved.

It was not that Master Lu wanted Feng Yu's money. It was the planning committee that needs money. If the planning committee received some sponsorships, they would be willing to be the organizers. After all, the planning committee at this time was in charge of lots of things.

"This should not be a problem. Let me ask how much is needed, and we can discuss the details later. Is this urgent?"

"A little. If possible, settle this before the year ends and we can have the award ceremony on New Year Eve!"

Master Lu does not understand why Feng Yu wanted the award presentation on New Year Eve. Maybe he wanted to make use of the holiday. Although it was a bit rush, there should be sufficient time. Master Lu agreed and asked Feng Yu to wait for his news.

……

"Director Hou, I'm Feng Yu. You don't recognize my voice? Are you busy? How's your research on the engines?"

"Hahaha, Manager Feng. The research is going well. It is all because of your help. Next year, we will complete this research, and we will upgrade all our existing technologies and produce one of the best helicopters in the world!" Hou Haitao was in a good mood. The technologies Feng Yu got for him were a complete set. They could easily digest it and used it to improve their existing technologies. Now, the Aviation Factory was the number one helicopter manufacturer in China.

"Director Hou, our Bing City Aviation Factory had made sure a great contribution to the nation, what award did the higher ups give you?" Feng Yu purposely asked.

"Award? What awards can we get? We had just understood those technologies you gave us and just produce a new prototype. Even if we are able to mass produce this model, the higher-ups will just praise us. That's enough for us."

"Sigh…… Director Hou, you have made such a great contribution to our nation. How can the higher up just praise you and your factory? I heard that the planning committee will be organizing a National level award ceremony to present awards to the factories, companies, organizations, that had made great contributions to the nation. Did you receive the invitation? No? I will help you ask around. They must at least give our Bing City Aviation Factory an award for all your hard work. Don't worry about this. Just leave this to me!"

After hanging up the phone, Hou Haitao was in a daze.

What leave it to you? What is this award? Did I agree to participate? Why is the Feng Yu so enthusiastic to help me today?

Feng Yu made a few phone calls to the companies he was familiar with. He told them about this award. He also told Lehaha about this, even though Lehaha was manufacturing health supplement products. Health supplements were also contributing to the nation. Children are the future of the nation. This was a company that he had a stake in. How can he not present this company an award? This can be called Children Contribution award.

Wu Zhigang had also contacted the dealers of every province. In their region, there were many companies with outstanding products. However, these companies were still unknown.

Feng Yu asked Wu Zhigang to ask the dealers to check with those companies if they were interested in taking part in this award ceremony organized by the planning committee.

The dealers were shocked. This was a national level award ceremony, and these companies were invited?

Invite? Of course not. This was only informing them that there was this award. If these companies wanted to participate, they have to find their own ways. The organizers were the planning committee, and the details were not announced yet. This was to let those companies know about it.

Wu Zhigang was puzzled. Manager Feng had said to invite more people to take part, and now, he does not want to tell those companies the details?

Feng Yu patted Wu Zhigang's back: "If we just invite them, they might not attend. But if they are aware of this award and it is organized by the Planning committee, they will find ways to take part in this awards ceremony. We do not even need to invite them. you can go and figure out yourself why they will react this way."

Feng Yu had already invited some big companies and enterprises. He does not need so many companies. He wanted these companies to compete among themselves and create awareness for this award.

Wu Zhigang nodded and went to the side and think about the reasons why. Feng Yu like Wu Zhigang willingness to learn and analyze his instructions. He had left Tai Hua Trading with Wu Zhigang to manage for him. He had managed Tai Hua Trading very well in his absence.

Wu Zhigang can be considered groomed by Feng Yu. In the future, he will be one of the higher management of the enterprises owned by Feng Yu. However, it will still depend on Wu Zhigang performance.

Just inviting those people for a prize presentation would be boring. A bigger conference would be sufficient.

Feng Yu still wanted to see if there were any future successful businessmen among the participants. Even if there aren't any future successful businessmen present, he could also get to know these people. Maybe there might be some profit opportunities.

……

"Huh? Manager Feng, you want to organize a gala dinner? You still want to invite celebrities?"

Wu Zhigang had seen the Motor Factory organizing these types of dinners before. He was considered a worker for the Motor Factory in the past and had attended these dinners previously. But most of the performances during the dinner were done by the workers of the factory. Once in a while, they would invite a dance troupe to perform. Now Manager Feng still want to invite celebrities to perform?

The celebrities at this time charge a lot. A performance would cost from a few thousand to tens of thousands RMB! Manager Feng still wanted all the performances to be performed by celebrities and singer. This would cost a lot.

"That's right. Our ceremony will be like a gala dinner. One performance for every category. This would be the minimum! Just invite all those popular celebrities, like Zhi Simao, Baldy Chen, Liu Daqing, etc."

"Manager Feng, if you want to make it into a gala dinner, then you need a big venue. Where can we find such a venue?"

"CCTV. The annual spring festival gala dinner's venue is big enough!" Feng Yu waved his hand. The venue at CCTV now was not as big as the future years. But it could still house at least 1000 people. The companies he invited can also bring some of their workers to attend. This way, there would be enough audiences at the stands.

At the front, there can be tables and the representatives of the companies will be seated there. They would be able to show their faces and could quickly go up the stage to collect their award. They would also be able to interact with each other.

Feng Yu was getting excited as he imagined. The host of this ceremony can be from CCTV. Jiang Shen, Zhao Zhongxiang, Ni Ping, etc. They have the experience of hosting such events. That's right. We can also work with CCTV to get some of their celebrities to perform. If CCTV were to have a live broadcast or even a delayed broadcast, it would be a win-win situation for both.

CCTV would have a successful gala dinner, and audiences love gala dinners. The most important thing was that CCTV does not need to spend a single cent. Feng Yu would be sponsoring everything.

It was until 1998, CCTV has the New Year Eve gala dinner. Now, were no special programs on TV for New Year Eve.

This award presentation ceremony can be made like a gala dinner and would be shown to everyone in China. CCTV should not reject his idea. No matter what, Feng Yu must make CCTV agree to this!

"Manager Feng, you want to host this ceremony at CCTV?" Wu Zhigang thought that he was hallucinating and had misheard. Has Manager Feng gone mad?

We are just trying to give ourselves an award, and we are going to host this ceremony at CCTV? CCTV is the national TV station!

"You must think big and then work hard towards your goal. This way, you can be successful. Now, what we need to do is to contact all those celebrities to perform for us. If we are hosting at CCTV, then we might not need to spend too much! 'Nothing is impossible, Just Do It!'"

Feng Yu spurt out some English words which Wu Zhigang does not understand.

"Manager Feng…… What's your budget for this event?"

"How much do you think is enough?" Feng Yu asked him back.

"If we are not paying for their travel expenses and lodging, and those celebrities lowered their fees, we should need about 1 million RMB. We need to spend a lot to set up the stage." Wu Zhigang felt that this was a waste of money. 1 million RMB was equivalent to a few commercials. Commercials can still boast their sales.

Wu Zhigang had thought that this would be a small event and would not cost much. However, Feng Yu wanted a gala dinner for this ceremony and still want to make it so grand!

"1 million RMB? It is not efficient. Just sponsoring this ceremony will cost more than 5 million RMB. This ceremony must be grander than the Lunar New Eve's Spring Festive Gala! You still need to spend some money on publicity. That would cost at least a few million more. The budget would be set at 10 million RMB now. If it is not enough, let me know."

Feng Yu stared at Wu Zhigang. This Wu Zhigang was too stingy. What can you do with 1 million?

In the future years, those gala programs need at least a few hundred million. Those provincial TV stations were still making money. Countless companies wanted to sponsor these programs. The ratings for these gala programs and the repeat telecast were the highest. The audience can also view it over the internet. This was the chance to let those companies showcase they brands.

Now, other than the Lunar New Year Eve's Spring Festival Gala night, CCTV does not have any other similar programs. Feng Yu was sure that his award ceremony gala dinner will be a success and it will even be broadcast several times. If he were able to do product placement in this ceremony, it would be like advertising several times. The effects of this product placement would be better than TV commercials!

10 million RMB? Not enough let him know?

Wu Zhigang felt his legs go soft. How grand does Manager Feng want this ceremony to be? Even the Spring Festival Gala night also does not cost so much.

Looking at Feng Yu's sparkling eyes, Wu Zhigang felt that Feng Yu was possessed. Even if you have the money, you should not be spending this way……

"Oh, it's Manager Feng. Why are you here so early? The bidding for advertisement slots is next month." Deputy Station Chief Jia saw Feng Yu and shook his hands.

If it weren't for Feng Yu, their advertisement fees would not increase so fast. During last year's advertising slots bidding, Feng Yu had renewed his contracts without hesitations and even bought many more slots. If Feng Yu did not choose to renew his contracts, CCTV would be gone.

Chief Jia had heard from his secretary that Manager Feng had come to CCTV and he immediately postponed all his meetings for Feng Yu. He wants to ask Feng Yu how much he was willing to spend on next year's advertisement slots.

"Chief Jia, I am not here to talk about the advertising slots. I am organizing a gala dinner, and I want to work with CCTV!"

The smile on Chief Jia's face froze. What was Feng Yu talking about? Want to work with CCTV to organize a gala dinner?

Does Feng Yu not know CCTV is the national TV station? How can a government agency work with a private company? This Feng Yu was getting more and more arrogant. Did he think that he was CCTV biggest client and he can do what he wants?

Chief Jia's smile disappeared: "Manager Feng, did I hear wrongly? You want CCTV to work with you to organize a gala dinner? This joke is not funny!"

Feng Yu was feeling helpless. He knew that these people were too conservative. He should at least hear him out before rejecting him.

"Deputy Chief Jia, listen to me first. This gala dinner is an award presentation ceremony. The organizer of this event is the Planning Committee. National Planning Committee!"

Huh? National Planning committee award presentation ceremony? How come I had not heard of this before? Even if it is real, what has it got to do with you?

Feng Yu patted his chest: "You should also know that the Planning Committee does not have the money to host a gala dinner and CCTV will never spend on this. I am the humble sponsor of this ceremony!"

"You. Tai Hua Trading is sponsoring a grand gala dinner?" Deputy Chief Jia asked.

A grand gala dinner was not a small event that cost peanuts. You don't know anything, and you want to sponsor? The expenses for this gala dinner might be more than all of your advertising fees! What an arrogant young brat!

"Oh, Manager Feng is going to sponsor this event. Then do you know how much these types of event cost? Even if we exclude the lightings, props, equipment, actors' fees, costumes, etc., it will cost at least 2 to 3 million RMB. How much are you going to sponsor?" Deputy Chief Jia sneered and slowly pick up his teacup to take a sip.

"2 to 3 million RMB is enough? I had prepared 5 million!" Feng Yu said with a surprised look.

"Cough…… What did you say? How much did you set aside?" Deputy Chief Jia was choked by his tea.

"5 million RMB. That's great. Since it does not cost so much, I will call my office and tell them to save the money."

"No, no, no. It will cost that much!" Deputy Chief Jia shouted.

5 million. This was 5 million RMB! This gala dinner will be the grandest gala dinner. They can use the best materials for the stage, props, performing costumes, makeup. Etc. Even so, they might not cost 5 million RMB!

After shouting, Deputy Chief Jia regretted. He was only thinking about 5 million and forgotten that this would mean he agreed to host this event.

"That's great. Deputy Chief Jia, then can we talk about the setup for the stage?" Feng Yu said. He does not want to let Chief Jia have the chance to regret.

"Manager Feng, we still need the higher-ups' approval for this gala dinner. We cannot just host it like this." Deputy Chief Jia wanted the money, but he dared not agree. At least he needs the approval from the TV station chief. When he said this, he was feeling embarrassed.

"Why do you still need approval? This gala dinner is on New Year Eve. CCTV only have a Spring Gala night once a year and your audiences do not have any special programs. Isn't New year day our holidays?"

"No! New Year's Day is not our traditional holiday!" Deputy Chief Jia said firmly. New Year's Day was only the first day of the calendar. Chinese should go by the Lunar Calendar.

Feng Yu: "……"

"Is New Year's Day an important holiday for our country?" Feng Yu asked.

"Yes." Deputy Chief Jia nodded. This was a public holiday everywhere. China had also declared 1st January as a public holiday.

"I remember CCTV have a hotline? You can tell your higher-ups that this was the request from your viewers. They want to watch a New Year's Day Gala event. Your leaders will approve. This was the request by the viewers of the whole of China! They will give in and let you host it!" Feng Yu said. This Deputy Chief Jia does not even know how to persuade the higher-ups. Useless! It's only a gala dinner. Why would the higher-ups not agree?

Deputy Chief Jia's jaws dropped: "Request from the public? Can this really do?"

"I am sure! When you report to your leaders, you must emphasize that this is the request by your audiences and also the Planning Committee. This is not only a Gala night. It is also an award presentation ceremony. This most important thing is that CCTV does not need to spend a single cent. CCTV can even profit from this. At the same time, CCTV can train your staff to host major event programs. This way, Spring Gala night will be better!"

Deputy Chief Jia looked at Feng Yu. This Feng Yu was really persuasive.

But what Feng Yu said was really true. There were already complaints that there was a lack of special programs. CCTV also wanted to make special programs, but they do not have the funds.

Now, someone was sponsoring, and the organizer was a prestigious government agency. The most important thing was that CCTV could also profit from it. The higher-ups might give the approval.

Deputy Chief Jia thought about this and felt that this was also a good idea!

"But we do not have enough time to prepare for this show. We will not have any good performances.: Deputy Chief Jia mumbled. He was considering the possibilities of hosting this event.

"What's so difficult? Get 2 crosstalk performers, get a few actors and actresses from the drama department for some sketches. If you do not have any singers, I can invite some singers from Hong Kong, or get Mr. Li to get his choir to perform. As long as their performance is not the same as the Spring Night Gala, it should not be a problem. You can leave the performers and the performance to me. This program duration would not be as long as the Spring Night Gala. 2 hours should be sufficient. There will be an awards presentation, and ten performances should be enough."

Deputy Chief Jia did not expect Feng Yu to even consider the details.

He must report this to the Station Chief immediately!

Deputy Chief Jia reported to the Station Chief. He emphasized that this award ceremony was not only organized by the planning committee and also it was a special New Year Day's program. If the response is good, they can host it every year since they don't need to spend and still get profits.

How to get profits? The rental of the venue, their workers' salaries, etc. CCTV does not need to worry about the performers. Feng Yu had promised to hire celebrities to perform.

CCTV had also considered inviting celebrities to perform during the Spring Festival Gala Night, but they do not have the budget. They can only afford the expenses of the celebrities for a day. This includes train tickets, a packed lunch, and lodging for a night. Many stars were not willing to perform for the Spring Festival Gala Night as they still need to rush home to celebrate Lunar New Year.

This was very different from the future years. In the future, celebrities were even willing to pay to perform.

If a celebrity got to perform at the Spring Festival Gala Night, their net worth would increase by at least 10 times! There was once a second rated singer whose appearance fees was about 30,000 RMB. But after performing at the Spring Festival Gala Night, his appearance fees increased to over 1 million RMB. He had more jobs than he can take on!

The Station Chief thought for a long time: "Old Jia, can this really work?"

"Chief, at least our audiences are on our side. If the higher-ups want to talk about regulations, they would also not go against all the viewers, the whole nation. I think we can try. Furthermore, we can use the planning committee as a shield."

If this special program were a success, then Deputy Chief Jia would get the credit, and he would be next in line to take over the position of the Station Chief.

But if this does not work out, they can just treat it as an ordinary awards presentation. Anyway, it will be recorded.

"Fine. We will have a meeting with the rest to discuss this. Who did you say is the sponsor? That Tai Hua Trading's Feng Yu? That young boy who sells humidifiers?"

"Yes. He does not only sell humidifiers. The bladeless fans, Songjiang Motorcycles, and the popular AIWA Walkman are all his. This kid is competent."

……

Beep, beep…..

Feng Yu took a look at his pager and went to look for a phone booth to return the call: "Is this Section Chief Cheng? I am Feng Yu."

"Manager Feng, I have good news for you. The TV station leaders agreed to help the planning committee to host the Gala dinner. There is no need for official documents, but it would be best if someone from the planning committee can come over for a meeting. This will prevent any miscommunications."

"Fine. Thank you. I will let them know."

After hanging up the phone, Feng Yu waved his fist in triumph. Now he got to settle the planning committee side. He needs to hurry Master Lu. He had to get the Planning Committee to agree if not, the CCTV would be offended.

……

"Master Lu, how is it going?" Feng Yu asked.

"It's settled. The Development Planning Committee will be the main organizer of this event, the rest of the planning committees will be listed as co-organizers. Also, the industrial department will also be joining in. They will be the judge's panel. You mentioned that you will be sponsoring all their expenses, am I right?"

"That's right. The office rental, wages, operation costs, etc. will all be on me! But can I get a place in this committee?" Feng Yu asked.

Want a place in the committee? Master Lu was troubled. If Feng Yu is 40 or 50 years' old, or even 30 years' old, it would not be a problem to be on this organizing committee. But Feng Yu was less than 20 years' old and what would the rest of the members think? They had worked for decades to reach this position, and a young brat is on par with them?

"Brother Feng, this is a bit difficult. Why not you nominate someone else. You are too young."

Feng Yu: "……" Age discrimination again!

"Fine. I will consider. Oh, how many committee members can I nominate?"

"There will be 7 members on this judging panel. This planning committee and the industrial department will be taking 4 seats for now. The remaining 3 seats can be your people. But you don't need to worry. Just let me know the companies you wanted to win the awards. I will make arrangements. There should not be any problems."

3 organizing committee members and still need to be old and have status. Then Hou Haitao, Li Mingde, and Li Shiyou should fit the bill. Feng Yu was confident that these 3 people will help him fix all the winners. He does not want to let others win any awards in this ceremony.

Master Lu had said that the Government side was holding 4 seats for now. That means they might want lesser places. Must find a way to make them give up 2 of their seats.

"Master Lu, what is the name of this awards? What are the categories and how many of these awards are for group and individuals?" This was what Feng Yu was most worried about. If in the end, there were only 1 or 2 awards, then Feng Yu would have wasted his efforts.

Master Lu replied in proud tone: "The committee and awards categories were not decided yet. You can decide the number of awards and categories. The committee will decide the winners. You think about it and let me know. This is the first time we are organizing this award ceremony. Don't create too many categories."

Feng Yu also know about this. If he created a few dozen awards, then this award would be worthless. He planned to have about 5 or 6 group awards, and 5 or 6 individual awards. He wants at least half of the winners to be the ones he appointed!

What fair and open? I am spending money, and I will decide the winners!

The organizing committee must use "China" or "National" in its title. This way, it will sound more prestigious.

……

3 days later, Feng Yu had found the office for the organizing committee. It was near the National Planning Committee building. The office was about 100 sqm. But no one would be working in this office. Most of the time this office would be vacant.

The leaders from the Planning Committee were just using their names in this association. They do not care about the running of this association. Their jobs were to be the judges and announce the winners. Feng Yu would be the one that arranges everything, including the winners.

A new graduate was sent by the Planning Committee to be stationed in this office. He was unhappy with this assignment. Feng Yu was laughing in his heart. In the future years, many government officials wanted to be posted to these types of offices. They would get the chance to meet many people and get to accumulate experiences. The most important thing was…… the benefits!

"Master Lu."

Master Lu nodded: "This is Mr. Feng. He is also the organizer of this ceremony. Later he will tell you the titles of the committee members and also the award categories. You prepare a report for the leaders."

Master Lu was not from the Planning Committee, but everyone from the Planning Committee knows him. He was ordering this new staff as if he was his staff.

"This association will be named as "China Business Contribution Judging Panel". There will be a few award categories and each category will have group winners and individual winners……"

The association was set up. Feng Yu had also decided that Tai Hua Trading will win some innovative awards for his bladeless fans and humidifiers. He still thought what awards should be given to the Motor Factory, Aviation Factory, and the Machinery Company.

The Machinery Company's agriculture machines were the most advanced in China. Feng Yu decided to set up a category that suits this industry.

What about the Motor Factory and the Aviation Factory?

Feng Yu had discussed with Li Shiyou and Hou Haitao. Some of the things their factories produced were confidential. Even though they had made some breakthrough with their technologies, they were not allowed to disclose to the public. For instance, the helicopter technologies developed by the Aviation Factory were confidential and cannot be disclosed.

When the both of them heard that CCTV will be broadcasting this event and it was organized by the Planning Committee and the Industrial department, they agreed that they will pass Feng Yu some technologies that were allowed to disclose. These technologies were the most advanced in China too.

Feng Yu had also discussed with Lehaha. However, it was not possible to set up a category for the health supplement industry. He can only allocate Lehaha to the beverage category. In this category, Lehaha cannot compete with Jianlibao. Jianlibao was the market leader at that time, and the rest of the companies in this category were only to make up the numbers.

But Feng Yu will give Zhong Qingxian a chance to appear on TV. This will be a recorded program and will be broadcast on TV. But the whole nation will still be watching this program. This was also a chance to market their products.

Wind and Rain Logistics will also not be winning any awards. They were not even qualified to be nominated. If Feng Yu were to let Wind and Rain Logistics qualified or win an award, it would show everybody that this award ceremony was fixed! Although the winners for this award ceremony were set, the winners and the nominated companies must still achieve some result.

Wind and Rain Logistics' scale was still too small. Despite expanding to Beijing, their fleet and capacity were limiting their growth.

When the Machinery Company starts to their heavy vehicles production, Feng Yu will convince his brother-in-law to procure a bigger fleet of vehicles and expand his operations.

The logistics industry now was not well developed. It was hard to arrange train carriages, and there were not many long-distance trucks. However, this was the best opportunity to capture the market.

In a few more years, there will be a lot of small logistic companies popping up. At that time, companies can only cooperate with each other, and this was not good for their branding and service standards.

Feng Yu suddenly remembered that Wind and Rain Logistic cannot be qualified, but his father's company can. His animal feeds were the best seller in China, and Tian Peng Pig farm was well known in the northeast region. It can be considered the number one Pork brand in China. Furthermore, Tian Peng Pig Farm was the first modernized pig farm in China.

Even if his father cannot win any awards, he can still be one of the nominees.

Feng Yu immediately call home to ask his father. He knows that his father would be glad to know about this.

"Hello? Mum? Where is dad? I need to talk to him!"

"Old Feng, Old Feng. Come over and stop smoking. It's Feng Yu's call!" Zhang Muhua shouted.

"Hello. Son, how's university? Are you able to cope? How's the food there?" Feng Xingtai asked Feng Yu about his life in Beijing.

"Dad, don't worry about me. I am good with my studies, and all my teachers and professors kept praising me. The food here is still edible."

"That's good to hear." Feng Xingtai was also not worried about his son. He knew that his son was a spendthrift and will spend a lot to have an extravagant lifestyle. But he still wants to ask him out of concern.

"Dad, I need to discuss something with you. Do you want to appear on CCTV?"

"Huh? CCTV?" Feng Xingtai was surprised. Appear on CCTV?

"The National Planning Committee had set up an association to judge the performance of China's companies. Those companies or individuals that had made contributions to China will be presented an award. There will be an award ceremony gala dinner on New Year's Eve, and the winners will be going on stage to receive the award!"

"You are telling me that I will be getting an award in front of the whole nation's viewers?" Feng Xingtai could not hold back his excitement.

"……" Feng Yu helplessly said: "Dad, listen to me first. This award is a national award for those companies and individuals that had made significant contributions to the nation. Your small company has only, so few workers and the production is too low. You think you can win the award?"

Feng Xingtai lost interest immediately: "Then why are you asking me?"

"Dad, even though you cannot win the award, but you can still qualify as one of the nominees. Your face will still be shown on TV. The whole nation can still see you. Are you interested?" Feng Yu was not interested in being on TV, but he knew that his father wished to be on TV badly.

"What is a nominee? Doesn't that mean that I have a chance of winning the award? Who will be presenting the award? Is it our Nation's top leaders?" Feng Xingtai asked.

"Dad…… The winners had all been decided by the judging panel, and your son can only let you be one of the nominees. You will not be winning any awards but trust me, at the rate your company is growing, you will win an award within 3 years!"

"Ah…… Need 3 years?" Feng Xingtai was disappointed.

Feng Yu was feeling speechless. You think 3 years is too long? Most companies and individuals can never even qualify for a National level award in their lifetime. Furthermore, this ceremony was organized by the National Planning Committee and Industry Department. If the Agricultural Department was involved, then Feng Yu can set up an Agricultural category.

"Dad, stop being picky. This is a national level award. It will be an honor to be able to even qualify. You and Mom can come over a few days earlier before the event. I will help the both of you to dress up. I will make sure the both of you will look good on TV! Also, let Professor Su know about this. If he is interested, he can attend with his wife."

Professor Su was now the expert in modernized pig rearing. He had help Tian Peng Pig Farm for free, and Feng Yu should invite him to this event. Of course, Tian Peng Pig Farm had let Professor Su and his students set up their research facility there to do their researches.

At first, Feng Xingtai was not entirely happy with this arrangement. But Feng Yu had explained to his father what a research facility was. If their pigs had any illness, they could let Professor Su treat them for free. Professor Su and his students will also guide the maintained of their farm. In return, Professor Su will conduct his lessons at their farm. Their staff can also attend his lessons.

This was also good publicity for their farm.

Providing internships for Professor Su's students was also a good thing. Feng Xingtai only needs to provide food and lodging for them, and he will have free labors. Those interns that performed well will be recruited after they graduated.

After Feng Yu's explanation, Feng Xingtai treated Professor Su even better. He decided to give in to all of Professor Su's demands and see if he will assign more interns to Tian Peng Pig Farm. He still lacked manpower at his farm in Shenyang.

"Okay. I will ask Professor Su. I will call you again before we leave for Beijing. Son, I really have no chance to win any awards?" Feng Xingtai asked again.

Feng Yu: "……" Dad, although this award ceremony is created by your son, I can't make it too obvious! Please stop thinking about winning the awards.

"Manager Feng, it's been a while. Are you looking for me to shoot a new commercial?" Zhu Simao shook Feng Yu's hand enthusiastically.

Although Zhu Simao prefers artistic films, he was not a stubborn person. His contract with Feng Yu was a long-term contract, and every time he shoots a commercial for Feng Yu, he would receive a red packet and star treatments. Many people had told him that he was missing out on this contract, but he does not mind.

Feng Yu was willing to pay!

Zhu Simao had transferred from August First Film Studios to China Broadcasting Performing Arts Troupe. He also planned to further his studies abroad. He had asked Tai Hua Trading if there were plans to shoot a new commercial, as he only has time during the winter.

"New commercial? Not so early. The current commercial can last for a few months. Next Summer, we will shoot the new commercial. We will shoot the new commercial in the southern mountains. I am here for another matter. Have you prepared for your skit on Spring Gala Night?"

"It's ready. We have started the rehearsals. Why?" Zhu Simao looked at Feng Yu. Why was Feng Yu so concern about his skit for the Spring Gala Night?

"Oh, it's like this. CCTV will be hosting a Gala dinner on New Year's Eve. I want to invite you and Baldy Chen to perform a skit. The theme is about contributing to China's economy. Are you able to prepare a good script?"

New Year's Eve Gala Dinner? Zhu Simao was wondering when did CCTV have a special program for New Year's Eve? Just the Spring Night Gala had used up most of CCTV's resources. How can they still manage a New Year's Eve Gala Dinner?

Furthermore, does CCTV have the funds to host two major events within a short time? This was not a small sum. The stage for both events cannot be the same. It would be hard for CCTV to arrange for the performers too. How can they cope?

"Manager Feng, how come I have not heard of this New Year's Eve Gala Dinner?" Zhu Simao was now one of China's artiste and will receive invitations to perform on Spring Gala Night with Baldy Chen. He had a good relationship with CCTV, but he was not aware of this event.

Feng Yu briefly explained this New Year's Eve Gala Dinner.

"Awards presentation ceremony Gala night? Why do you need so many programs for an awards ceremony? You are still inviting celebrities from Hong Kong and Taiwan? Their appearance fees are costly."

"Don't worry about that. They will be getting the same fees as our local artistes. I promised that they will not be paid more than our performers! Of course, this event is different from Spring Gala Night. Every program will get a red packet, and I guarantee that there will be at least a 5-figure amount in the red packet. This is to thank the hard work of the performers."

5-figure amount. This was considered a lot. But for Zhu Simao, this was not a lot. After leaving August First Film Studios, he can accept other jobs and his fees was quite high. However, those jobs were for those nightclubs, etc. and he seldom accepts it.

He had even rejected jobs that will pay him more than 500,000 RMB. He felt that endorsing those products would affect his image. He was not short of money.

"Ok. Other than the theme of contributing to China's economy, is there any more requirements?"

Feng Yu thought for a while: "Can your performance be related to the Machinery Company? About our Songjiang Motorcycle factory. After your performance, Direct Li will be going on stage to receive an award."

"No problems. I will come up with the script this week, and we can start the rehearsals next week."

"Ok. Then I will leave it with you. When you are studying aboard, and you need help, you can call me. Maybe I can help you with my overseas connections."

………

"Mr. Wang, you should know how hard it was for this chance to come by. You should know Fei Xiang. After he had performed at CCTV Spring Gala Night, he was well known throughout China. I know her songs are very popular, and her albums are selling well. But how many albums did she sell in China? In China, many people listened to her songs, but how many recognized her? CCTV will be the best platform for her to show her face in China. This platform can be considered the biggest platform in the whole world. There will be a few hundred million viewers watching this program……"

Fu Guangzheng had followed Feng Yu's script to speak to the boss of a Hong Kong's Records Company. He wants to get his approval to let Chyi Yu perform in Beijing New Year's Eve Gala dinner. She can sing two songs, one old and one new. But other than sponsoring her air tickets and expenses, there were no appearance fees!

The Records Company boss did not agree. Chyi Yu was one of the top singers at that time and charges more than 5-figure for one song. How can she just get sponsors for transportation and expenses only?

But the boss was also tempted by what Fu Guangzheng said. China was a vast market. He had always wanted to enter this market but failed. If his artistes can perform at CCTV like Fei Xiang, then maybe he can have a concert in China. Concerts can bring in lots of money!

In the end, Fu Guangzheng sponsored Chyi Yu, and an assistant's expenses and the Records Company agreed! At the same time, Fu Guangzheng also bought the music rights from this record company.

Fu Guangzheng had also managed to invite Aaron Kwok. Aaron Kwok had just released his second album, and his popularity was soaring. But in China, he was the same as a lot of other Hong Kong's singers. Their songs were popular, but no one knows about him. His albums were selling well, but the record company did not make any money. Those albums were all counterfeits!

It was the same conditions. The example used by Fu Guangzheng was Cheung Ming-man. Cheung Ming-man's songs and dances cannot be compared to Aaron Kwok. But Cheung Ming-man's fans in China was more than ten times than Aaron Kwok! This was because Cheung Ming-man had performed on China's Spring Festival Gala Night. He had lots of fans in China and has played more than a hundred concerts there. This was an unbeatable record!

When Aaron Kwok's company heard that Taiwanese Chyi Yu would also be performing, they agreed. Chyi Yu was more popular than Aaron Kwok at that time. Fu Guangzheng also wanted to buy the rights of most of their songs.

Actually, Feng Yu wanted to invite Theresa Teng from Taiwan. But Theresa Teng was not feeling well and seldom perform outside of Taiwan. In the end, Feng Yu can only ask the singer of , Chyi Yu.

Hong Kong's Leslie Cheng and Samuel Hui had announced their retirement, and Feng Yu was not able to invite them.

Feng Yu had spent a lot of time to pick the performers. He had to consider their public image and their songs. Although China had started to open up, the performers cannot sing love songs at the Awards Ceremony. Feng Yu could not invite a lot of his favorite singers.

Feng Yu also invite some songs and dance artistes, acrobatics, magic, cross-talks, etc. from China performing troupes. There was a total of 12 performances, one for each award category.

Those local artistes agreed immediately when they heard that it was CCTV's program. To them, it was an honor to receive an invitation to perform at CCTV!

Within a week, Feng Yu had settled all the performers. Although the cost was high, compared to the market value of those performers, this was nothing. If it were Feng Yu's previous life, all these performers would cost at least a few million RMB. Now, Feng Yu had spent less than 1,000 RMB for each program!

Feng Yu received the run-down and frowned. This program was too dull.

"Director Xu, I think there are some problems with this program list." Feng Yu went to look for the Chief Program Director of New Year's Eve Gala Dinner, Xu Yipeng.

Xu Yipeng heard what Feng Yu said, and his face turned black: "Manager Feng, what do you mean? What's wrong with this program list? All the performers are invited by you, and you are the one who planned their performances. I am just following what you wanted. What else do you want?"

Xu Yipeng was furious. He was a Chief Program Director, but the higher-ups had let Feng Yu invite all the performers and plan their performances. Now this Feng Yu came to him and tell him that there are problems with the program list. You are the one who designed these performances, why are you saying that there is a problem with this list?

He was the Chief Program Director for the Gala Dinner and the Spring festival Gala Night. He was furious for letting a young brat telling him what to do. If Feng Yu were not the sponsor for this program and also the representative of the association, he would have chased him away!

"Director Xu, I had invited these celebrities and also planned their performances. But your order is not right. For instance, this song should be the opening performance. Then Bing City's Aviation Factory will be getting their award. This should be the fourth performance and followed by Bing City's Machinery Company getting its award. These performances were selected carefully for each award category. You had mixed up the order." Feng Yu pointed to the program list and said.

Because of the theme, Feng Yu had "wrote" two songs, and invited a new singer Sun Nan to perform.

was the song that would let Sun Nan become famous. But now, this song was not written. Sun Nan had become China's top male Singer with this song. In the future, he will sing the song , and he will become well known throughout Asia.

But now, Feng Yu had found Sun Nan and let him participate in this program. He even wrote two songs for him, and Sun Nan agreed readily.

He can perform on CCTV special program?

In this era, anyone that performed on a Gala Night will become famous throughout China. This was a representation of the performer's status.

Those singers that got the chance to perform at Spring Festival Gala Night were all professional singers. They were the pillar of their companies and troupes. They received star treatments. The rest of the singers could not make any money. Most of their songs might be popular, but no one knows them. If they get the chance to perform on Gala Night, their lives would be different.

Although this was not the Spring Festival Gala Night, it was still the New Year's Eve Gala Dinner. Sun Nan also knew that some of China's top singers, dancers, Zhu Simao, and Baldy Chen duo, magicians and cross talkers would be performing. There were even singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan. He was only a newbie in this industry. How could he refuse this offer?

However. Sun Nan was worried that he does not have any good songs to perform. But when he heard a demo of the songs written by Feng Yu, he was overjoyed.

These two songs were great! The pitches of these songs were high and suit his voice perfectly. The lyrics were perfect too!

Feng Yu had written these two songs to promote Bing City Aviation Factory and Motor Factory. He could only find Sun Nan to sing these songs. This director Xu had mixed up the order of the performance and had wasted all his efforts.

The Motor Factory to fly like a flag? They will come falling down!

"You think you know more than me? Have you directed any gala nights before? You know how many times I had directed the Spring Festival Gala Night? If you think you are better than me, then go and tell the leaders to replace me!" Xu Yipeng roared at Feng Yu.

This young brat needs to be taught a lesson. He was too arrogant! Does he think that he was wealthy and he can do whatever he wants?

In CCTV and even in the whole of China, Xu Yipeng was one of the best program directors for big events. He was the one that directs all songs and dances performance during Spring Festival Gala Night. Now someone was telling him that his order of the performance was wrong? What a joke!

What's wrong with this order?

Feng Yu looked at Xu Yipeng. He had directed the Spring Festival Gala Night? This program now cannot even be compared to the gala nights produced by the provincial TV stations 20 years later. The order of the performances was wrong, and the camera angles and switching order had problems too. These were all not in-line with the themes and why was this director still so proud?

If it wasn't Feng Yu cannot be the director, he really wanted to replace this director. But Feng Yu was not representing the association, and he cannot order CCTV around. He can only try to persuade this director.

"Director Xu, you misunderstood me. I really like the shows you directed. Someone else should have done this program list. I had only planned the performance for the celebrities, and I do not know the details. However, the lyrics for this song goes like this. Fly to the sky, shoulders to shoulders with the sun. this was specially written for Bing City's Aviation Factory……"

Feng Yu explained his idea of a performance catered for every award category winner.

Xu Yipeng listened to Feng Yu, and he also has many ideas. He felt that Feng Yu was quite creative. All the performances were related to the awards. This was a good idea.

But something was not right about this. If every program was related to the winners, then the audience will know who the winners were. What's the point of reading out the nominees?

"Manager Feng, I understand what you are talking about. But have you ever thought that if this song were performed, then the audiences would know that Bing City's Aviation Factory is the winner? Then what's the point of announcing the winners during the program?"

Feng Yu's mouth could fit an egg. Damn. Why didn't I consider this problem before? I am still a novice. I can only use some ideas from the programs I watched before. It seems that this Director Xu makes sense.

But so what? The winners of the awards ceremonies now knew in advance before the show. You want to reprimand me? I will give you a lesson on how to direct an awards ceremony!

"Those nominees were there to just show their faces. They knew that they would not win the award. The audiences just want to watch the performances. They will not mind. Even if they mind, just let them be. If the performances were good, then that would make up for this."

There was also no internet yet. Those audiences cannot voice their complaints about the show on internet. Just the line-up of the performers was sufficient to attract viewers. If they do not like, then don't watch it. This was a program that could challenge the Spring Festival Gala Night!

Xu Yipeng's foul temper had pissed Feng Yu off. Feng Yu wants to teach him a lesson!

"Director Xu, with this performance order list, how are you going to announce the nominees? How are you going to pan and switch the cameras?" Feng Yu waved the program list at Xu Yipeng.

"Announce the nominees? Just let the host announce them. Why do you still need to pan and switch cameras?"

Feng Yu said in an unpleasant tone: "just read out the names? Don't need to pan and switch cameras? You really think that this is the New Year's Eve Gala night? Don't forget that this is an awards presentation ceremony. This program is to give out awards! Although there are no big screens, the live audiences cannot see, but the audiences in front of the TV see the nominees. Every name that was read out, the camera should zoom in to the nominee's face for at least 3 seconds."

"We still have to film them?"

"Of course! This way, people will know who the nominees are. To them, being qualified as a nominee is also an achievement!"

The nominees must show their faces on TV. Feng Yu had promised those companies that participate. Of course, this airtime was not free. Feng Yu had charged these companies that wanted to show their face on TV for 100,000 RMB!

You want to show your face on CCTV for free? You think 100,0000 RMB was too expensive? You will be seated at the round tables in front of the stage, and your seats will have your name and organizations. The whole nation will know you and your company.

Not only this program will be broadcast on New Year's Day, but there will also be repeat telecast. Soon, this program will be made into VCD, and this VCD will be given free to the consumers when they buy the VCD players. That will be another way to increase your brand awareness.

What? You do not know what a VCD is? VCD player can be considered a new type of Video Cassette Player. It is still under development and will be launched next year!

Don't you think all these benefits were worth 100,000 RMB?

Feng Yu charges those fixed winners more. Even though some of the winners were not set by Feng Yu, Feng Yu was still able to charge them money. It was because Feng Yu was selling seats.

Why was Feng Yu selling seats? The venue at CCTV was very big, and there were stands at the back. When you are receiving your award on the stage, don't you want your staffs to see? This can also be a benefit to your workers.

You think 300,000 RMB for the tickets was too expensive? Think about this. If all your workers in the stands were wearing the same clothes, and when the cameras panned towards the audiences, the people in front of the TV will remember your company. This would be better than advertising on CCTV. Furthermore, your staffs are coming to CCTV to watch this program, and they might have the chance to be on TV! There are lots of people fighting for the tickets.

Just be charging those companies, Feng Yu have got back the money he spent to sponsor this event. He still made a small profit. If he did not give the Motor Factory, Aviation Factory discounts, he would have made over a million RMB!

Feng Yu told Xu Yipeng about the switching of cameras. Although he was not in this industry, he was still about to explain his ideas clearly. This way, he needs more cameras, and the cameramen must be able to find those people fast.

This was what Feng Yu learned from those movie awards he watched in his previous life. When the cameras showed the stars in their seats, the stars will make funny faces or actions. This will attract more viewers.

Xu Yipeng was surprised by Feng Yu's ideas. He had to switch cameras this way for this awards ceremony? This should not be a problem for them, but there was not enough budget for the additional cameras.

Feng Yu waved his hand and said: "You calculate how much more is needed for the additional cameras and let me know. I will pay for it!"

When Feng Yu said this, Xu Yipeng's anger subsided. This Feng Yu was not the producer, but he was the sponsor.

"Director Xu, there is also a problem with the table arrangements."

"What is the problem? The two round tables in front are for those nominees, and the other audiences are seated at the back. What's wrong?" Xu Yipeng was going crazy. Why Feng Yu felt that everything he planned was wrong?

Even if what you said earlier was right, but what's wrong with the seating arrangements?

"How are you going to arrange the seating for the round tables? The winners will be sitting in front and the other nominees behind them? Those government units in front, individuals at the back? The bigger companies in the middle and the smaller companies at the sides?"

"What's wrong with that?" Doesn't all seating arrangements like this? Those more important people in front and center? You said that you wanted to give these people airtime and important people should be getting more airtime.

Feng Yu shook his head: "Director Xu, you are wrong! We are doing an awards presentation ceremony. You must remember it."

Xu Yipeng felt like strangling Feng Yu. How many times must you remind me that this is an awards presentation ceremony?

"Awards presentation ceremony seating arrangements must be by the awards category. We have a total of 12 awards, 6 group awards, and 5 individual awards. So, there should be 12 tables in two rows."

"That's right. This was what I had planned." Xu Yipeng interrupted.

Feng Yu glanced at Xu Yipeng and continues: "12 tables and the front row are for the groups, and the back rows are for the individuals is fine. But those nominees and the winners for the same categories must be seated at the same table."

"What? How can all the people from the same award category be sitting at the same table?" Xu Yipeng thought that this was not possible. "They are all competitors, and those that did not win the award will not be happy to be sitting with the winner."

Feng Yu looked at Xu Yipeng again: "Why can't they be sitting together? Also, the signage with their names on the tables should be prominent. When the cameras are pointing at them, their names and company should be captured by the cameras too. All the audiences must see it too. You think these people dare to show black faces at CCTV venue? They will be facing the whole nation's viewers, and they should be glad that they can even be a nominee. Furthermore, the winner can still receive the congratulations of the other nominees in the same industries."

It does not matter if those congratulations were sincere or not. When the cameras were facing them, they will surely be smiling. They are at CCTV venue, who dares to create trouble? Furthermore, who said that those people must be competitors? They might even cooperate.

"Also, when the winner is getting the award on stage, the cameras can also zoom in on the expressions of the other nominees. The audiences should like to see their reactions."

Isn't it too evil to show the expressions of the losers to the viewers? Xu Yipeng cannot accept it. What Feng Yu said early still made some sense, but he cannot accept this!

In Feng Yu's previous life, this part of the awards presentation was the most interesting. The audiences love it to see the reactions of the other nominees that did not win the awards. Anyway, the winner will be on the stage to say his thank you speech, what's wrong with giving the losers some airtime?

Hmmm…. Feng Yu can still arrange for some people to show sad faces. The audiences will feel that the winners were not fixed. It was impossible to convince all the viewers, but there should not be a problem to convince most of the viewers.

"Now, we have finished talking about the round tables. I noticed that the audience stands at the back have problems too."

Xu Yipeng's veins were almost bursting. How come there are so many problems?!

Feng Yu had gone to look for Deputy Chief Jia to take about this Gala Dinner, and so, Deputy Chief Jia was overall in charge of this event. He had heard that they will be discussing performance order and he wants to come and take a look. If there are any problems, he can make the decision on the spot. This will be CCTV second grandest special program. If this Gala Dinner was a success, Feng Yu said that he would sponsor this program every year!

Eh? What's happening? Why was Xu Yipeng arguing with Feng Yu?

"Xiao Liu, what is going on over there?" Deputy Chief Jia asked the Chief Video Editor of the Gala Dinner.

"Chief Jia, Little Manager Feng and Director Xu are discussing the Gala Dinner."

Chief Jia stared at this Chief Video Editor. Their faces were all red, and you are telling me that they are discussing? They are obviously arguing!

Deputy Chief Jia walked over. Chief Video Editor wanted to let Xu Yipeng know, but Deputy Chief Jia signaled to him to keep quiet. He wants to listen to what was the argument about.

Feng Yu might be young, but he was very creative. This can be seen from his commercials at the CCTV. Deputy Chief Jia had heard that Feng Yu was the one that came up with the Songjiang Motorcycle commercial. He was very impressed with Feng Yu's creativity.

But a Gala Dinner was very different from a commercial. A commercial only needs few people to act and shoot. And also, it was just a few minutes long. A Gala Dinner program was very different. Lots of manpower were required, and it was a few hours long. How come from Xu Yipeng's expression, he seems to be losing in this argument with Feng Yu?

"Director Xu, this venue should have 500 to 600 seats. I heard that the CCTV staffs will be receiving the tickets for this event."

"There is nothing wrong with this. Every Spring Festival Gala Night, we will give out tickets to our staffs. You also said that we have 500 to 600 seats. What's wrong with giving some of the tickets to our staffs?"

"This is a big problem! If it is only the CCTV staffs that will be getting some tickets, it's fine. But are you going to give the Planning Committee tickets? Are you going to give the Industrial Development Department tickets? What about those people from other ministries? We had invited them, and should we prepare some extra tickets for them? Our association is the organizing party. Do we need to give the judges tickets?"

"Just give them. How many tickets will they need? 100 tickets? The stands will still not be filled. We will be giving the remaining tickets to other units." Xu Yipeng said this like it was the norm. The tickets for Spring Festival Gala Night were given out this way.

"Cannot fill up the seats? I think that there are not enough seats! What about those winners of the awards? Do they need extra tickets? What about those nominees? I have told you many times that this is an awards presentation ceremony. This is not the Spring Festival Gala Night! We do not want a bustling and exciting show. We are showing our appreciation to the companies and individuals that had made significant contributions to the nation! We must let them have the tickets first. If there are extras, then we can give to other units."

Huh? Those winners of the awards also need tickets? If they were companies from Beijing, it's okay. But there are companies from Guangdong province. They will come to Beijing to watch this Gala Dinner?

"Then you tell me, how many tickets do they need?" Xu Yipeng felt that this Feng Yu was talking nonsense. How many tickets can those people need? At most, the winners will want some tickets for their family members. 100 tickets should be more than enough. He still wants to give out the tickets to obtain favors.

"There are 4 participants for an award category. There is a total of 48 participants. Each participant will be given 10 tickets. Those ministries and our association will need tickets too. I think there are not enough tickets!"

"Huh? Each participant will be given 10 tickets? Why do they need so many tickets? They are located so far away. You think they will travel all the way to Beijing to watch a Gala Dinner Program?" Xu Yipeng felt that this was ridiculous. The train ride from Guangdong to Beijing will take more than 24 hours.

Feng Yu was getting frustrated. You are located in Beijing and had often watched these shows. But it is different for those companies' staffs from other regions. They will be looking forward to watching the recording of a Gala Program live at CCTV.

"Director Xu, do you really think that I am the one who is sponsoring all 5 million RMB? Have you heard of anyone who had spent so much to organize a Gala Dinner? Those nominees have also contributed. Why can't they get some tickets? Those tickets are their staff's benefits! Can you don't give them tickets? Is it reasonable for our association, the organizing party, the judging panel, and the committee members to not get tickets?"

Xu Yipeng could not find anything to retort. Feng Yu was not sponsoring everything. He had still thought that this Feng Yu was stupid to be sponsoring this event by himself. So, this was a collective effort.

Since they were contributing money to this event, then it should be fair for them to get tickets.

But what about those leaders he promised to give them tickets? Many units had called him to request for some tickets.

When CCTV announced the lineups for this New Year's Eve Gala Dinner, everybody was surprised. All the performers were top celebrities and even the lousiest performer among the lineups, Sun Nan, was also a good singer. The rest were all well-known celebrities, and many people want to come to CCTV to watch their performances.

Watching live was better than watching on TV!

Suddenly, a voice sounded from the side: "There is still some distance between the stage and the audience. We should be able to add another 100 to 300 seats."

Xu Yipeng wanted to scream at this person who interrupted him. Who was this person that dares to teach him what to do? He was the Chief Program Director. Feng Yu was the association's representative, and he cannot scold him. But this person was asking for it!

He turned around, and before the words started coming out from his mouth, he paused. His face changed and started smiling: "Chief Jia, how come you are here?"

Deputy Chief Jia looked at Feng Yu and asked: "Manager Feng, this arrangement should not be a problem, right? Those tickets which we promised to give cannot be canceled. But we will still give those participants tickets, and they will be closer to the stage."

"Chief Jia, since you said this, then I have no more problems. But I still have one more arrangement. Those nominees' audiences from the same award categories should be seated together. This way, it will be easier for the cameras to capture them."

"What? The audiences also need airtime?" Xu Yipeng asked with a constipated expression. Usually, he would take a wide-angle shot of the audiences. There was no need to zoom in on a particular group of spectators.

"They are the representatives of their companies. They are the ones that had contributed to the nation. Why can't we zoom in on them and give them some airtime? The one receiving the award is the leader, the workers cannot be on TV? Director Xu, your way of thinking is not right." Feng Yu said disappointedly.

Xu Yipeng almost vomits blood. What's wrong with my thinking? Are you really so noble? I know that you had given your family members the best seats!

Deputy Station Chief Jia patted Xu Yipeng on his back to stop him from arguing. Chief Jia turned to Feng Yu: "Manager Feng, other than these, what other ideas do you have?"
