The far-reaching consequences of Li Guowei's demotion in the Chinese-American science and technology circles are similar to the McCarthyism of the past and the "Wen Ho Lee" case in later generations.

In Liang Yuan's previous life, the timing of this incident happened to be closely related to the reason why China and the United States left the honeymoon period, when the Western news media was full of rumors and insults against the Republic and fugitives, and the waves just stirred up by the Li Guowei incident subsided almost instantly.

In the eyes of countless people who did not know the truth, the republic at that time was basically equivalent to a flood beast, and it was better to be angry in the United States than to return home and lose their lives.

By the time the rumors have been dispersed and the truth has been revealed, a new chapter in the history of mankind has entered the new century, and the Li Guowei incident can only become a hidden scar in the hearts of the older generation of Chinese science and technology workers in the United States.

As for Boeing's penchant for large-scale layoffs, it has long been known in the aviation industry, and in the early years, when Boeing dismounted the 2O27 airliner, it laid off 6oooo skilled employees in one go.

The most incomprehensible thing about Airbus employees about Boeing is that in the year when the market is not very prosperous, Boeing likes to lay off experienced employees in large numbers to save costs.

Liang Yuan is choosing the core industry for the future of Yuanjia. Although Liang Yuan didn't know anything about the aviation industry in his previous life, he could still grasp the general context of the World Economic Exhibition.

In Liang Yuan's view, the global aviation companies have been very weak in the past two years, and have entered the downward channel, and Boeing's substantial layoffs are a matter of high probability.

Li Guowei was born in Taiwan and grew up in the United States, and he is considered a successful person who has integrated into mainstream society among Chinese in the United States, but he did not expect to be treated like this. Zhou Yuanhang said with great emotion.

"If possible. Who wants to wander in a foreign land. Sun Zhuolin glanced at Liang Yuan and Liang Haiping and said.

Liang Yuan understood what Sun Zhuolin meant when he looked at him. After all, it has only been ten years since the reopening of the republic, and although some people among the overseas Chinese are thinking about it, the once changeable political climate and backward scientific research environment of the republic are enough to dispel many people's thoughts.

"No matter what the situation is, the country's established policy of reopening will not change. Liang Yuan first gave Sun Zhuolin a preventive shot. The storm is still brewing. In Liang Yuan's opinion, unless someone can find out his son clearly. Then come up with an iron fist to fight corruption, otherwise it is only a matter of time before the storm explodes.

Both Sun Zhuolin and Zhou Yuanhang know the background behind Liang Yuan very clearly, since Liang Yuan can achieve such a scale of business. If it is pure nonsense to say that you don't understand the policy direction of the high-level of the republic, it is reassuring to be able to get a guarantee for the future from Liang Yuan's mouth, after all, the republic has definitely not been peaceful for most of the past six months, from newspapers to television, from magazines to film and television, an extremely fierce quarrel is continuing, as long as you are not a fool, you can sense that the atmosphere of irritability is wandering in the ancient land.

"However, there are some things that cannot be solved by promises alone, and we have moved to MBB to set up the headquarters, research center and assembly line of CMB Aerospace in Hamburg to dispel the doubts of future employees, and I think there should be no psychological barriers to changing jobs from the United States to the Federal Republic of Germany. Liang Yuan said.

"Lao Zhou, in addition to the minimum share of employment left by law in Germany, the recruitment of people in the United States must be carried out in the name of COMAC, the personnel relations of employees are in the parent company, and working in CMB Aerospace belongs to the division of labor within the group. ā€

Zhou Yuanhang knew that although Liang Yuan's doing this was a bit troublesome in recruiting employees, it would be very beneficial to the future, such as setting up a second CM75 passenger aircraft production line in the future, and there would be no need to look at MBB's face in terms of human resources, and it would save countless words of right and wrong.

Liang Haiping listened to Liang Yuan, Zhou Yuanhang, and Sun Zhuolin talk for a long time, and finally straightened out the whole thing.

"Xiaoyuan, have you been paying attention to Boeing for a long time?" asked Liang Haiping.

"Well, I have made statistics on the number of layoffs of Boeing since the sixties, and I have counted that now and next two years is the peak period of Boeing's layoff probability, but Li Guowei really didn't expect it to be at the right time, with this matter, the Chinese in North America are sure to be cold, rather than working for foreigners, it is better to come to Shangfei and give it a go." Liang Yuan said with mixed truths.

"Da Shao, this time we go to the United States, do we recruit employees according to the upper limit of the production line operation or according to the lower limit?" Zhou Yuanhang asked.

The annual salary of a skilled aviation mechanic in charge of assembly is 40,000 to 60,000 US dollars, and the annual salary of an aviation engineer in charge of opening and maintenance is between 5 and 90,000 US dollars, and the ratio of the two is roughly about 3:2, of which the annual salary of a mechanic or engineer in various subsystems such as avionics, interior, engine, landing gear, and hydraulics is about 6 to 9 million yuan, and a small number of outstanding personnel will exceed one million.

Generally speaking, a large passenger aircraft production line with research capacity needs 3ooo to 5ooo employees depending on the output, research capacity, and automation process, which means that if COMAC does not want to lose the hard-won technology share in the hands of MBB, it must find at least 9oo skilled aviation mechanics and 6oo aviation engineers, and the salary expenditure of these 15oo people alone will cost 870 million US dollars per year, and if the production line is capped to recruit 25ooo employees, it will cost 140 million US dollars per year.

In addition, the engineers and mechanics of each subsystem, before the growth of the civil aviation talents in the Republic of China, the annual labor cost of COMAC is at least 150 million US dollars, and if the full allocation will definitely exceed 200 million US dollars, the threshold of the aviation industry for enterprises is really not something that ordinary enterprises dare to try to cross.

It is precisely because of the high cost of maintaining the operation of an aviation company that the British government would rather discount the money than completely get rid of the loss-making Schott.

"The minimum number of people under the lower limit is good, and the insufficient part is made up by domestic engineers, and if the annual labor cost of recruiting employees according to the upper limit of the production line will exceed 200 million US dollars, it is estimated that my uncle will pick and choose. Liang Yuan said with a smile.

"Our financial pressure is too great, although we sold Fengyuan out of 600 million US dollars in cash and 600 million US dollars in loans, it only solved the problem of admission tickets to the aviation industry, and the daily operating expenses can only rely on the global sales of Shangri-La Electric. Sun Zhuolin said distressedly.

After Deutsche Bank took over the textile smuggling channel between Germany opened by Liang Yuan, it will definitely expand vigorously to make Fengyuan's profit level to a higher level, but limited to the substantial reduction of its shareholding shareholding, Yuanjia's profit from this channel is not as good as before it was sold, and it is an optimistic estimate that it can maintain a profit level of 60 or 70 million US dollars a year.

In addition to this textile smuggling channel, Yuanjia received a large amount of cash from Shangri-La Electric's global sales of air purifiers and bladeless electric fans.

At present, the sales of Shangri-La air purifiers and bladeless electric fans have entered a stable period, which can bring US$160 million in cash flow to the Yuanjia system every year.

However, there is still a big trouble in using this foreign exchange, although with Ning Lei and Tang Wan covering, the Republic will not make it too difficult for Yuanjia to use foreign exchange, but this large-scale foreign exchange outflow will last for three or five years, even if the foreign exchange is earned by Yuanjia, no one dares to guarantee that the State Administration of Foreign Exchange will remain silent.

Of course, Liang Yuan can also establish a series of affiliated companies in Hong Kong, and use Hong Kong law to intercept most of the foreign exchange obtained by Shangri-La Electric, but at that time, it would be a bit unjustifiable to take domestic export compensation, and in Liang Yuan's opinion, it is really worth the loss to smear yellow mud on his pants because of this trivial matter.

"Da Shao, otherwise, we will put the personnel part in CMB Aerospace, so that we can share a lot of financial pressure. Sun Zhuolin tentatively built a yƬ road.

If there are no accidents, CMB Aerospace will receive an interest-free loan of $600 million to $800 million from the West German government to supplement the research and development of the CM75 and the purchase and operation of special production equipment for the CM75 passenger aircraft.

It can be said that CMB Aerospace is not short of money at all, and it is only COMAC that lacks money

For MBB, it doesn't matter whether the employees belong to CMB Aerospace or to MBB headquarters, but it is different for Yuanjia, once CMB sets up an independent personnel department, CMB Aerospace as a joint venture between the two parties, no matter what Liang Yuan intends to use research forces to do, the Germans need a nod to do it.

If there is an extreme situation such as sanctions in the future, under the current laws of the West, Liang Yuan can only reluctantly sell the shares of CMB and has no ability to resist.

If COMAC holds the personnel power, it will be completely different, the so-called whose job is served and who works, even if Liang Yuan and West Germany sell their shares in two and two, a simple withdrawal of personnel is basically equivalent to bringing back all the research results, and other losses are nothing more than dead things such as equipment, which are not trivial to COMAC at all.
