"Of course, we are also very optimistic about Ivchenko's technical capabilities, and if Ivchenko is willing to cooperate with our United Aero Engine Company to complete our own development of small thrust turbofan engines, this is also a good plan."

Since it is impossible to support the Ivchenko Design Bureau to complete the AI22 engine, it would be good to think differently, depending on whether Ivchenko is willing to take on the job.

And this mention was obviously a little bit of a surprise to Muravchenko, when it was the turn of the Ivchenko Design Bureau to give someone a hand, this is simply ......

My dignified Ivchenko Design Bureau is also the number one ultra-thrust turbofan engine design bureau in the world, how can it be possible to give people such a thing!

"How ...... this?"

Seeing that the chief designer was going to block all the back roads, Rybnov couldn't bear it, he had to stand up, even if he collided with the chief designer, it didn't matter.

"Chief Engineer, I think this time we should give a reply after discussing it within the design bureau, and now we should not draw conclusions too quickly, after all, we have no funds to do the project, if there can be a project to do, at least it can be regarded as ......."

There are a lot of reasons for Rybnov, and they are one after another, and the foolish Muravchenko really can't make up his mind for a while.

After looking at Rybnov twice, although he felt a little unhappy, considering that the facts were as reasonable as Rybnov said, he still endured it.

Gritting his teeth, he made a decision, and said to Yang Hui: "Okay, this matter can only be continued after the internal backbone of our design bureau can be discussed, you can wait a little longer!" In the meantime, you can visit Commander-in-Chief Lotarev and give you a final answer in three days at the latest. ”

After making a ruthless decision, Muravchenko has actually been shaken, as Rybnov said, choosing to work for United Aero Engines is actually not a bad way.

Yang Hui also knew that it was time for him to wait patiently, and the set had already gone down, so it depended on whether Muravchenko was willing to jump, in case this guy's head suddenly short-circuited. Yang Hui really didn't know where to squat and cry.

However, it is also a good idea to take the opportunity to take a walk around the city of Zaporizhzhia, after all, the city is not only home to the Ivchenko Design Bureau, but also to other aerospace companies.

Of course. Lotarev has to pay a visit, it's a matter of etiquette, if you want to hit someone's lifelong brainchild, or should you go and say hello.

"This is also the procedure that should be followed, and the only thing I can tell you now is that United Aero Engines is willing to sign a contract with Ivchenko. Designers of the Ivchenko Design Bureau are hired, and all salaries are paid in dollars. ”

At a time when the Soviet Union had not yet completely collapsed, it was not realistic to blatantly poach people, and it was best to choose a roundabout way, as long as you got your hands on them.

For this reason, Yang Hui also made a bloody investment, not only the salary is settled in US dollars, but also a lot higher than the domestic average.

This time, the selected individuals will receive a settling-in allowance of $5,000 each, and a monthly salary of at least $800 per month for the rest of the year. Senior talents such as chief designers can agree on conditions individually. ”

Speaking of which, after the salary of 800 US dollars per month is converted into rubles, it is actually not comparable to the salary that these people get in the Soviet Union, but at this time, the Soviet people know that the US dollar is hard currency, and 800 US dollars a month is already a very good treatment.

Under the temptation of Yang Hui's dollar, not to mention Rybnov, even Muravchenko was a little moved.

That's a dollar, just a settling-in fee of 5,000 per person, if 100 people can be selected, it will be 500,000 dollars!

With this $500,000. The current embarrassment of the Ivchenko Design Bureau will be improved immediately.

Although the funds were used for scientific research without even making a sound, if they were used for the daily consumption of the design bureau, they would at least allow the Ivchenko Design Bureau to maintain basic operations, and there would be no need to pay these people salaries every month in the future. It can be regarded as a major problem alleviation.

"Okay, we will consider what you said carefully, and a decision will come out soon, and we will definitely not make you wait for a long time."

……

After walking out of Muravchenko's office, Yang Hui breathed a sigh of relief, while Wang Cheng sighed at Yang Hui's generosity.

$5,000 settling-in fee per person. Coupled with a salary of no less than $800 per month, this treatment is simply amazing.

"Mr. Yang, you offer such a high salary to these Soviets, what should the company say in the future, after all, the salary of domestic technical personnel is only less than 400 yuan per month, the gap is too big, I'm afraid it's ......"

This is a problem, but in Yang Hui's opinion, there is no need to worry at all, and even Chief Master Yu feels that it doesn't matter.

The old man didn't feel anything wrong, and explained: "We are hiring international technicians, and the salary of 800 US dollars is already lower than the average of international counterparts, and it is already very good to be able to hire experts from the Ivchenko Design Bureau at such a price." ”

Chief Engineer Yu knew that when those Northrop technicians in the previous years were in Southwest Science and Technology, the salary level given by Southwest Science and Industry was definitely far higher than the salary that Yang Hui gave to Ivchenko.

In contrast, Yang Hui's explanation is simpler: "800 US dollars, that has to be the treatment of technical backbones, if it is not a technical backbone, we don't need to look at it, the temptation of this dollar is great." ”

It must be recognized that the temptation of the dollar for the USSR and the Soviets was greater than for the republic of the dollar.

In this way, the group stayed close to the accommodation arranged by the Ivchenko Design Bureau, and after the meal, they went back to their rooms to rest.

On the other hand, after Yang Hui and his party left, the top management of the Ivchenko Design Bureau moved, and the plan proposed by Yang Hui was too important.

From the chief designers of various departments to the deputy chief designers of all sizes, there are all absent, and there must be twenty or thirty people.

"Okay, I'm calling you here this time to say that we might be able to have a project to do, but this project is a bit special, so I need to ask for everyone's opinions. Rybnov, it's up to you to tell you about the specific situation! ”

It's up to Rybnov to introduce it, that's right! As an introducer of a project, it is inevitable that there will be your own subjective feelings when introducing the project, and these subjective feelings will often greatly affect the judgment of the audience.

For example, this time: "This time we welcomed several special guests, they are from Embraer Aero Engines, a joint venture between Southwest Science and Industry of China and the Brazilian government, which is responsible for providing the power system of Embraer 145 passenger aircraft. ”

Speaking of which, most people have guessed the situation behind, one by one, their eyes are shining gold, this is a big project, if it is done well, it will definitely achieve a big breakthrough!

At a time when everyone was selling a bright future, Rybnov directly chose to break the illusion of beauty.

"Originally, the AI22 we were developing was a very good choice for this aircraft, but everyone also knew our current situation, so after the technicians of Embraer Airlines saw the progress of the 22, they chose to abandon our engine."

Rebnov, who has a single face, said that I just like this feeling, saying that half of it is left and half is left, and the previous sentence and the next sentence form a strong contrast, and only under the ups and downs can people be impressed. (To be continued.) )
