Chapter 960 – Wind and Rain Design

Two days later, Feng Yu flew to Shanghai. Kirilenko had sent Feng Yu photographs, and Feng Yu had passed it to Liu Michael. Now, Feng Yu is going over to Liu Michael’s office to look at the custom limousine design.

Feng Yu had only visited this company twice, and he is visiting Shanghai for another reason. He wants to pick a location to build an office building. Shanghai is an important financial hub of China, and it is worth investing in.

Even if Feng Yu did not build anything on a plot of land in Shanghai, he could get high returns in a few years.

Liu Michael’s design firm had changed its name to Wind and Rain Design and is currently Shanghai’s biggest, and China’s top three design firm.

This company does not only do graphic designs, but they also do product designs, logos, space and environmental designs, advertisements, fashion, structural, etc. Now, they had started a new business, which is website design.

Liu Michael was standing at the main entrance of a tall office building, waiting for Feng Yu.

When Feng Yu’s car stopped, Liu Michael ran over to open the door for him.

Many people were looking curiously. Isn’t that Liu Michael? He is the Boss of Wind and Rain Design, and his company is one of the top design firms in the industry. Why is he opening the door for someone else?

That is a beautiful car, and it’s the Songjiang brand. It should be a new model as no one had seen this model on the road before. But the person inside should not be a leader because of the number plate.

When the crowd saw a young man alighted from the car, they were shocked. That young man is younger than Liu Michael!

“Our company had rented the fifth, sixth, and seventh floor of this building. We have more business now, and designers need more space and a quiet environment. That’s why…”

“It’s alright. You are the one in charge of running the company, and you can make all the decisions. I don’t care about profits.” Feng Yu waved his hand and stopped Liu Michael’s explanation.

Anyway, the finance people are on a rotating basis, and Feng Yu does not care what Liu Michael does, as long as he doesn’t fake the company’s accounts.

Over the past few years, Songjiang Motors’ vehicles, motorcycles, tractors, etc. exterior designs have gotten more beautiful, and some of the electronic products’ designs are well received by the consumers. Feng Yu is very please with Liu Michael and his team’s performance.

A beautifully designed product can increase its sales by more than 20%.

Furthermore, Liu Michael charges a low price for Feng Yu’s companies. Of course, in return, he uses those products to promote Wind and Rain Design and get many new clients.

Do you think Songjiang Motors’ vehicles are well designed? Our company is the one who designs it!

“Boss, this is the customized limousine design. We had also increased the height of the car based on Mr. Kirilenko’s height, and he will feel more comfortable sitting in it. The chassis will be using… our technologies can fulfill the requirements, and the bonnet is designed this way. We will be using Mr. Kirilenko and his fiancée caricature as the logo, and here, here, and here, will be handcrafted…”

Liu Michael gave a detailed explanation of his design, and Feng Yu listened attentively.

Feng Yu got to admit that the drawings of this limousine are very beautiful, and he likes it very much. But he is unsure whether Kirilenko likes it or not.

In the limousine, there is a long wine cabinet requested by Kirilenko. He doesn’t care about other features in the interior, but there must be a wine cabinet!

By pressing a button, the driver and the passengers will be separated, and there is an LCD TV, DVD player, and surround sound systems in the car. When sitting inside, you will feel like you are in a cinema.

The whole limousine uses bulletproof glass, and the exterior is using a bulletproof steel plate. Kirilenko had ordered this material from the Russian Army, but it made the car very heavy.

The engine of this car is using a 12-cylinder 4.8L engine! This vehicle is using all of Bing City Machinery Company’s latest technology, and it cost over 20 million USD to build!

After explaining all the features, Liu Michael looked at Feng Yu worryingly. “Boss, this design is based on the requirements given to us. Will it be too expensive?”

The cost of the car is over 20 million USD, and it does not include manpower. What will be the retail price? Who will buy such an expensive car?!

After the design of this car is out, Liu Michael and his team were worried. When they saw their Boss’s emotionless expression, they got more worried.

“This design is good enough, and I think it will work. Prepare a softcopy of the drawings and give me a copy of the design. I need to show the client.”

Even if it is 30 million USD, Kirilenko will also want it. The most expensive Aston Martin customized model also costs around 30 million USD.

Liu Michael looked at Feng Yu in surprise. What did Boss say? He said the design is good enough and will show it to the client? Did he miss out on the cost? Twenty million USD is only a rough estimation, and Bing City Machinery Company might exceed this amount when building it. Is this not a problem?

Feng Yu explained after seeing Liu Michael’s shocked expression. “The client is Russia’s top tycoon and does not mind about the price. What he wants is a unique limousine, and if you all are designing limousines in the future, you must not use this design. Understand?”

Russia’s top tycoon? No wonder this limousine must be custom made. Since Boss says the price is not a problem, Liu Michael is relieved.

“Oh, what is your feedback after you all used Lenovo Kingsoft’s drawing software?”

“We still hand drawing some complicated designs, but it is easy to use it for drawing lines. Some older designers are still trying to learn it, and most of our designers who use it are the young designers.”

Feng Yu immediately knows that this software is not user friendly!

It must be improved. Anyway, this software is still not launched into the market, and Liu Michael and his team are testing the prototype.

“Ok. Don’t worry. This software will be improved. I had mentioned before that Wind, and Rain Design should set up branches in Beijing and Shenzhen. Have you all discussed this?”

“No problems. We had planned about this too and can pass some of our projects to these two branches temporarily. But the office buildings is a problem. We still have not found any suitable locations.”

“Beijing branch can be in Wind and Rain building. A tenant’s lease had just ended, and one floor should be enough for the time being. As for Shenzhen, you can use the Jianlibao building. It is newly renovated, and it is also one floor. There are many companies in that building, which are our potential customers.” Since Feng Yu had asked them to set up branches, he had thought about all these problems.

“Thank you, Boss. The three of us will manage one branch each, and we promise Wind and Rain Design will be China’s biggest and best design firm within three years!” Liu Michael is thrilled.

“Yes. I wish you success. Someone will contact you regarding the offices, and I will not care about the manpower transfer and hiring. But I have one condition. I would rather earn less money than having our company’s brand image and reputation tarnished!”
