Chapter 1288 – Being busy is good

Feng Yu looks at the MP3 player in his hands. It is Aiwa’s latest model, and he puts on the earpiece and plays the song.

Eh?

Feng Yu raised his brows. This is Elena’s voice!

Although Elena has a nice voice, she cannot sing well in the past. But she is singing this song perfectly.

Elena had learned singing from a teacher for quite a while, and this is the result.

“Feng, this is the album I released for Elena. Other than those songs you wrote for her, the others are written by her teacher. You might not know about this. This album is the top album in Eastern Europe.”

Kirilenko looks at Feng Yu with a ‘hurry up and thank me’ look.

“Thank you, Brother Ki.” Feng Yu thanked Kirilenko.

“I did not do much. It is Elena who had put in the hard work. She was the most famous ballet dancer here, and her fans had bought her album. I did not expect so many people to like her songs.”

Kirilenko is telling the truth. He had only provided the best platform for Elena, and she can be so popular is due to her talent and hard work.

If Kirilenko wants to groom a singer with bad vocals, the album sales might not reach 10% of Elena’s album sales.

It’s been a while since Feng Yu saw Elena. But they still contact each other through emails and phone calls.

Whenever they contact each other, Elena will say she is training her vocals and dancing. Even after she started singing and released an album, she continues to dance.

Elena said that she is considered old among ballet dancers, and if she doesn’t dance these few years, she might not be able to dance again.

Of course, Elena can continue to dance, but not ballet.

“Oh, where is Elena? Why is she not in Moscow?” Elena knows he is coming to Moscow, but how come she did not come to see him?

“She is in Germany to attend an Award ceremony and will be doing a world tour. I think she will be busy in the coming months. She is the top singer we are promoting now and is also our Russia’s hope of entering the world’s music industry.”

Elena is so popular now?!

Feng Yu thought for a while. There are no famous female singers from Russia, and the only famous male singer is Vitas, in his previous life. Vitas should be starting to become famous now.

“Oh, is this recording label yours? There is an opera singer called Vitas. You should sign him. He will surely become famous and can help you make high profits.” Feng Yu reminded.

“Are you talking about that boy with high pitch vocals? He had signed to my company already, and his album is selling well too. He is more popular than Elena in Europe. His vocals…”

Feng Yu’s eyes nearly popped out of his sockets. Kirilenko had signed Vitas? Damn! What luck does he have? Does he know about music? How come he can sign one of the top singers in the world?

“How do you know he will become famous?” Feng Yu asked curiously.

“Simple. He is also a student of Elena’s teacher. When Elena’s teacher knew I acquired a recording label, he asked me to sign this kid. At first, that kid did not want to sign with me and went to talk to other companies.”

“But Elena’s teacher had highly recommended him, and I listened to his songs. I was shocked by his vocals, and I remembered you had taught me how to retain those former Soviet Union engineers.”

“You doubled your offer?”

Many of the Former Soviet Union engineers are among the best in the world. When the Soviet Union was dissolved, many people are in poverty, and top international companies recruit them with high salaries.

Companies from Europe, the US, etc., started waving their money at those engineers. But the amount they offered at that time is nowhere near these engineers’ value.

If these engineers are from those companies’ countries, the offer will be much higher. Those companies knew these former Soviet Union engineers and scientists are poor. They can recruit them with slightly better benefits.

In Feng Yu’s previous life, most of these engineers and scientists were recruited by European and American companies. Their salaries are not high.

In this life, Kirilenko and Feng Yu recruited most of the former Soviet Union engineers and scientists. Of course, those overseas companies managed to recruit some, but not all of them.

Kirilenko’s company had recruited many of the top engineers and scientists.

Kirilenko had learned from Feng Yu how to recruit them. Do you all want to earn money to provide for your family? Go and speak to other companies first.

Those engineers and scientists were confused. None of them are willing to leave their home country if they can get the same offers. Even if the offer is slightly lesser, they are also willing to accept it.

But Kirilenko told them he wanted to recruit them. But why is he not telling them their salaries?

Those engineers and scientists had no choice but to look for other companies. With their expertise, they are not worried they will not find a job.

After they negotiate with other companies, Kirilenko’s men appeared again.

You have spoken to XX company already?! Good. Join us. We will increase their offers by 50%!

Those engineers and scientists will be getting higher salaries and can still stay in Russia. Of course, they will accept Kirilenko’s offer.

Many of them signed contracts with Kirilenko immediately.

This method is invented by Feng Yu. During that time, Feng Yu needs these scientists and engineers, and many cannot be bought.

Bing City Machinery Manufacturing Group, Wind and Rain Electronics, etc., hires many former Soviet Union engineers and scientists, and they had created high value for the companies.

Feng Yu’s method is to wait until they negotiate with other companies. After they finish their negotiations, he will tell them to join him, and he will double their offers. Going to the US is too far, and his company has many former Soviet Union engineers and scientists.

Doubling the offers for these engineers and scientists is not a lot, as the offers from other companies are not high in the first place. With their expertise, they can easily create higher value for Feng Yu.

In Feng Yu’s previous life, some Chinese companies had also done the same thing to hire a batch of former Soviet Union scientists and engineers cheaply. Those western companies who are not willing to offer high salaries initially are forced to increase their offers.

“Feng, do you think Elena is too busy? Do you want me to let her take a break?”

Feng Yu waved his hand. “No. Being busy is good. She will be happier when she has something to do.”

Feng Yu has no intention of keeping Elena in a cage.
