Polman was also very happy to see Fang Lang looking forward to it. After all, the person he recommended was recognized by his boss.
"Boss, don't worry I will contact Dr. Tank early tomorrow morning."
"No tomorrow, do you have their phone number?"
Seeing Polman nod, Fang Lang said without hesitation:
"There's a phone in the guest room, call him now."
"But boss, don't we have to start by modifying the passenger plane first? Will there be a lot of pressure to recruit so many designers now?"
Polman knew Fang Lang's future plans for this aviation company, so he was a little worried that if too many designers were recruited to conduct research at once, it would cause huge financial pressure on the company.
"Don't worry, I can first use the funds to set up a research laboratory to house these researchers.
We cannot allow these excellent researchers to be lost. "
Seeing Fang Lang's resolute attitude, Polman could only nod in agreement.
He picked up the phone in the room and dialed. Because Polman spoke German, Fang Lang couldn't understand what the two were talking about.
At this time, Fang Lang felt very regretful. If he had known that one day he would need to go to Germany to recruit people, he should have learned German first.
However, Fang Lang could tell from Polman's expression and tone that the two were indeed familiar with each other.
Finally, Polman finished the phone conversation and said to Fang Lang, who looked expectant:
"Boss, Dr. Tank said that he wants to reconsider because people from the Argentine government are also in contact with him."
Fang Lang didn't expect that the Argentine government had already come to Germany to recruit people. This was even more active than the Brazilian government!
However, this cannot be blamed on the Brazilian government. After all, Brazil has just experienced a military coup, the domestic situation has not yet been straightened out, and it has not experienced poaching abroad.
Fang Lang thought for a while and said to Bollman:
"Where is Dr. Tank? If necessary, I can come out and meet with him in person."
"His side of Bremen is a British-occupied area and is slightly freer than ours. However, the boss does not need to personally invite him.
I know Dr. Tan Ke very well. If the boss can promise Dr. Tan Ke one thing, I am 80% sure that I can convince Dr. Tan Ke to join your company! "
Polman obviously knew Dr. Tan Ke very well. After feeling Fang Lang's thoughts, he directly put forward his own opinions.
"Oh! Promise something, can you tell me about it?"
"Dr. Tan Ke is a very creative and talented designer, but he also has a very bad shortcoming, that is, he really hates people criticizing his work.
While working at Focke-Wulf, I had a disagreement with the original head of Focke-Wulf's R&D department, which led to a very unpleasant quarrel.
Later, he simply launched a "coup" and took charge of the design power of Focke-Wulf Company alone.
Therefore, if we want to recruit Dr. Tan Ke, we only need to promise him and grant him absolute autonomy for the project.
We only need to put forward clear requirements for the projects we need. I believe that Dr. Tan Ke will be able to complete it well with his ability. "
After hearing what Polman said, Fang Lang frowned a little.
It seems that Dr. Tank is a bit unruly!
But Fang Lang also knows that capable people are often unruly.
Besides, what the other party wants is to design according to their own ideas. The person who wants to make the decision is only the design department, not the boss of the company. What is there to worry about?
After thinking for a long time, Fang Lang said:
"I can set up a design studio for Dr. Tan Ke alone. He will be the person in charge of the design studio. I can give him all personnel management rights. However, the financial power must be in my hands.
All results obtained must belong to the Company. "
"Boss, don't worry! If the management of personnel is completely handed over to Tan
The words of Dr. Grams. Then I don’t need to recruit other people for this design studio.
Maybe Dr. Tank can bring the entire Focke-Wulf Company design department to join this design studio. "
To be honest, Fang Lang didn't like that all the people in the laboratory were the confidants of one person.
This kind of management risk is very huge. If one failure occurs, the entire design studio will quit, leaving only an empty shell.
After thinking for a long time, Fang Lang decided to give Dr. Tan Ke full freedom, but he had to sign a contract with the other party with a huge liquidated damages.
Even if Dr. Tan Ke is a white-eyed wolf in the end, he will still have to recover all investment costs through liquidated damages and receive certain compensation.
However, Fang Lang also knew that Dr. Tan Ke's biggest default risk was to return to Germany for research, but Germany's aircraft research association has always been restricted by law.
At least in his lifetime there is no chance of lifting the ban.
As for whether he will be poached by the United States, Fang Lang can't guarantee it, because the overbearing Americans are unreasonable.
However, if you are poached, you must also pay liquidated damages.
"Okay, then you have a good chat with him. As long as he thinks he is capable, you can leave it to him to recruit."
Now that he decided to delegate power, Fang Lang no longer struggled.
Instead, he continued to look at Bollman's notebook. After flipping through two pages, he saw a list of researchers who had an engine.
"Do you still know the engine researcher?"
Hearing Fang Lang's question, Polman also said a little strangely:
"That's right! I am in engineering management! I need to participate in the management of all parts procurement and whether the performance indicators are qualified!
I need to be involved in everything from tires, bulletproof glass, and key switches needed for small planes to engines and weapons! "
Fang Lang really didn't understand this, so he didn't expect that Polman would be responsible for so many things.
"Then what kind of engines do your engine researchers research?"
"There are piston engine researchers and jet engine researchers, but the big ones were divided between the United States and the Soviet Union.
These are the assistant researchers I know who are capable and have ideas.
Boss, please rest assured that most of the people here are not very famous due to their age and experience.
However, the professional knowledge and research capabilities are very solid. "
Polman was obviously worried that Fang Lang would think his long list was too much.
Fang Lang smiled and said:
"It doesn't matter, I'm not afraid of crowds, as long as there are real materials, I welcome them!
However, I would like to remind you that Brazil's industrial base is still relatively weak. If we design excellent products, we may be limited by manufacturing capabilities and fail to achieve the desired results.
Since I appoint you as the person in charge of the aircraft manufacturing plant, you must take these factors into consideration.
Take tires as an example. Brazil is a world-famous rubber producer, but we have no tire processing technology.
Therefore, I hope that when you introduce personnel, you can also add talents from these basic industries. "
Now it was Polman's turn to be confused. Wasn't this going to introduce the entire aviation industry system?
I couldn't help but shout in my heart: "I can't do this!"
Such a huge project is almost impossible to complete.
Fortunately, Fang Lang seemed to hear his voice:
"However, you don't need to be too anxious about this. I am currently negotiating with the Stuttgart city government to introduce a complete automobile industry system back to Brazil.
The manufacturing of many of these parts can be combined with the manufacturing of aircraft parts.
After this matter is finally confirmed, you can see if there is anything you need to add, and we will find a way to introduce it. "
Fang Lang's words made Polman think about it, and he soon thought of a question.
"Boss, if we want to build airplanes, there is one thing that cannot be used in common with the automobile industry.
Whether it is propeller blades or jet engine blades, they require very precise machining capabilities.
Professional processing machine tools are needed, and I think we need to introduce these separately. "
Polman's words were like a bolt of lightning, hitting Fang Lang's head.
I kept complaining to myself, what kind of pig brain is this.
The most important basic industrial machine tool industry has been forgotten by him.
When I received the artillery factory in Japan, I was still excited to see so many German machine tools. Why did I forget all about such an important industry when I came to Germany?
"Pollman, you are absolutely right. Thank you for reminding me. How could I forget such an important industry?
Do you know if there are any excellent machine tool industry brands in Stuttgart?
It would be best if they could introduce me to them, and I would have a serious discussion with them about cooperation matters. "
"I know of two very excellent machine tool factories, called TRUMPF and Julang.
However, I am not familiar with these companies. If you need me, I can help you visit them. "
Fang Lang certainly doesn't need Polman to handle this kind of matter, Mayor Jonas is a better candidate.
"No need, you can just put up the racks at the aircraft factory.
I'll find someone else to take care of the machine tool factory. "
After speaking, Fang Lang directly closed Polman's notebook and handed it to him.
"I have no problem with the personnel. You are solely responsible. If you need any help, come to me."
Seeing Fang Lang's actions, Polman understood what Fang Lang was thinking. This was a complete delegation of power to him.
Polman was very moved by this.
"Yes, boss. Then I won't disturb your rest. If you need anything, you can always tell me."
Fang Lang stood up and shook hands with Bollman to say goodbye.
After Polman left, Fang Lang was in a state of excitement. He didn't expect that he would gain so much from his trip to Germany.
If you can stand on the shoulders of Germany and develop your own aviation industry, you can make a lot of money.
If one day, my company can become a giant like Boeing, then I will have huge influence in the world.
But at the same time, he was a little worried about whether his funds could support his crazy expansion plan.
He quickly called the accompanying financial assistant to his room.
"How much liquidity do we have on hand now?"
"Boss, I just confirmed with the head office at noon today, because recently we are expanding rapidly, including TV factories, radio and television stations, acquiring Richfield Petroleum Exploration Company, acquiring Aston Martin, and building artillery factories."
Hearing the financial assistant calculating his expenses item by item with him gave Fang Lang a very headache.
He interrupted directly:
"Just tell me how much cash flow I can mobilize now."
The assistant opened the notebook in his hand two pages back and said:
"Assuming that the current immigration scale remains stable, the company can mobilize US$8 million."
