Chapter 904: A call for help from the Kuznetsov Design Bureau
There was no routine visit, and after the initial greetings, Andrei Shamanov almost couldn't wait to reveal to Chen Geng why he was in such a hurry to ask Chen Geng to come over: "Chen, we need your help, the Kuznetsov Design Bureau needs your help......"
"Old friend, are you mistaken?" Chen Geng's eyes glared at the boss: "I know that the situation of choosing the Soviet Union is not good, but the Kuznetsov Design Bureau is also the core unit of the Soviet military-industrial system, and you don't go to the Central Committee of the CPSU for help, but come to me?" ”
didn't know that Chen Geng, who was sitting opposite him, clenched his fists all of a sudden: After waiting for so long, the opportunity has finally come. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Andrei Shamanov didn't notice Chen Geng's clenched fists all of a sudden, and he smiled bitterly and said, "Why didn't you ask the CPSU and the Central Committee for help?" I don't know how many times I called for help, and I don't know how many times Moscow ran away, but it didn't ...... at all."
Anyway, everyone has been cooperating for so long, in order to facilitate communication between the two sides, Runhua Industrial even set up a liaison office in Samara, presumably the Chinese have enough understanding of the situation in the Soviet Union, and there is no need to hide it - Andrei Shamanov is not embarrassed to tell Chen Geng that when he went to Moscow a few months ago, although he could not solve the problem, he could still meet people after all, and these two times he went to Moscow, he simply could not even meet the relevant person in charge.
"So you thought of me?" Chen Geng's tone was complicated, with shock and disbelief.
"Yes......" Andrei Shamanov nodded stubbornly, he really didn't want to admit it, but what could he do if he didn't admit it?
"Since that's the case, Andrey, we are old friends, so I'll say some things directly......" Chen Geng, who had been frowning his forehead, suddenly raised his head and looked at Andrei Shamanov, with a serious expression: "I heard that during this time, the personnel turnover of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau has been relatively serious?" ”
Andrei Shamanov nodded with a wry smile, he knew that this situation could not be concealed from Chen Geng and Runhua Industry, so he simply told the truth: "Chen, I won't tell you that the Kuznetsov Design Bureau has indeed been fluctuating in the hearts of the people during this time, and some people have indeed left...... To tell you the truth, the situation is a bit serious. ”
There is no way, who made the current Kuznetsov Design Bureau have a request.
"How serious?"
Andrei Shamanov gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Rolls-Royce in the United Kingdom, Pratt Whitney in the United States, Pratt Whitney in Canada, General Electric in the United States...... Even a small aero-engine company like Garrett, these bastards are like flies in front of our design bureau! ”
"Then the situation is really serious," Hearing this, Chen Geng's brows furrowed: "Can you tell me about the loss of personnel?" ”
"This ......"
This is not a glorious thing, but now that the Kuznetsov Design Bureau has asked Chen Geng, Andrei Shamanov hesitated and said: "In the past two months, our Kuznetsov Design Bureau has gone five deputy chief engineers and more than ten senior engineers. ”
"it!"
Chen Geng directly burst into a foul mouth: "So many?!" ”
Chen is angry, for Chen Geng, who has already regarded the Kuznetsov Design Bureau as a radish in his backyard, this situation is unacceptable to him no matter what: these bastards dare to steal the radishes in Lao Tzu's field?
"Yes," after a pause, Andrei Shamanov added, "I've done their job many times, but I can't help it, those bastards have good conditions." And you know, now supplies are difficult......"
Although Andrei Shamanov didn't finish his words, Chen Geng also understood what he meant: In this current stage of extremely difficult life and very tight material supply, not to mention the conditions offered by Western aero-engine manufacturing enterprises are very favorable, even if they are not very good, in the eyes of the Soviets, who are extremely difficult to supply materials, it is quite secure.
Relying on the help of Runhua Industry, the material supply of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau was relatively guaranteed, but even so, many people were attracted by the favorable conditions offered by Western enterprises, which made Andrei Shamanov's distressed liver tremble.
But this is not the worst thing, and what makes Andrei Shamanov despair the most is that the situation does not seem to be getting better - otherwise, with the pride of the Soviets, how could they have turned to their younger brother for help? I really can't help it.
As the deputy general director of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau, Andrei Shamanov certainly knows how fatal the Kuznetsov Design Bureau will be if this situation is allowed to develop - as a scientific research unit, if all these high-level talents are gone, what will be left of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau?
In this case, Andrei Shamanov decisively thought of Chen Geng, who had been playing the role of the unjust leader: If our Chinese friends can provide us with some help, will the Kuznetsov Design Bureau be able to retain more talents?
Chen Geng nodded silently.
Andrei Shamanov didn't know, but Chen Geng knew in his heart that without the tireless help provided by Runhua Industry, the number of personnel lost by the Kuznetsov Design Bureau would be three, five, or even more than this number!
"So what?" Looking at Andrei Shamanov, Chen Geng said, "You hope we can provide you with some help?" ”
"Yes." Andrei Shamanov nodded without hesitation, and at the same time looked at Chen Geng expectantly: "Chen, a stable Kuznetsov Design Bureau is also in your interests, and you don't want the Kuznetsov Design Bureau to become an empty shell, right?" ”
"Of course," Chen Geng replied, Andrei Shamanov was right, a Kuznetsov Design Bureau with a serious loss of personnel, especially senior technicians and senior designers, is certainly not in the interests of Runhua Industry: "So you want me to be able to provide you with some help?" ”
"Yes......" Andrei Shamanov was embarrassed.
"No problem," Chen Geng happily agreed: "Say, what kind of help do you want Runhua Industry to provide you?" As long as I can provide it, you can just say it. ”
I didn't expect Chen Geng to agree so happily, Andrei Shamanov was overjoyed! This is much better than the most optimistic situation that the Kuznetsov Design Bureau had envisioned before, and Andrei Shamanov did not dare to hesitate for a second, and looked at Chen Geng with a look of hope: "That's the case, can you think of a way to provide us with 60 tons of flour and 30 tons of various cured meats, canned foods and other non-staple foods every month?" ”
After saying this, Andrei Shamanov looked at Chen Geng with a worried face, lest Chen Geng would refuse: In the current Soviet Union, the ruble is not worth much, and foreign currencies such as dollars, yen, pounds and even the Deutsche Mark are very valuable, but what is more valuable than these foreign currencies is flour, vodka, meat, sausages, and clothes...... It is the top two things in "food, clothing, housing and transportation".
To what extent is the supply of materials tight in the current Soviet Union? Andrei Shamanov doesn't know what's going on in Moscow, but in the Samara region, a pound of sausages can be exchanged for a beautiful Russian beauty to serve you all day.
Hearing this request, Chen Geng naturally frowned: "In other words, I have to provide you with nearly 100 tons of food every month?" ”
"Yes......" Andrei Shamanov was desperate to find a crack in the ground.
"Do you know about the Trans-Siberian Railway?"
Andrei Shamanov, of course, did not know, but even if he thought about it with the soles of his feet, he knew that the current capacity of the Trans-Siberian Railway was basically occupied by the unwielding masters from China.
Chen Geng sighed: "These things you want need at least 2 wagons, that is to say, I have to provide you with at least 2 wagons of various living materials every month, and Samara is located in Europe, and I want to transport at least 2 wagons of materials to Samara Oblast...... It's fine in normal times, but at this time, how much we need to pay to get these supplies here, can you imagine? ”
Andrei Shamanov became more and more ashamed, of course he knew that the cost and energy required by Runhua Industrial to transport so many materials would definitely not be small. But he can't help it, apart from asking Chen Geng for help, what else can the Kuznetsov Design Bureau do? With his head down, Andrei Shamanov whispered: "Chen, the Kuznetsov Design Bureau will always remember your help to us......"
Chen Geng shook his head: "What is the use of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau remembering our help to you?" The USSR will not remember - besides, what do we get after paying such a big price? ”
This is Chen Geng's real purpose: I don't plunder, but I want you to willingly hold what I want in both hands and beg me to take it.
But Andrei Shamanov and the Kuznetsov Design Bureau did not know Chen Geng's plans, before asking Chen Geng for help, the leaders of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau obviously seriously discussed this issue, after paying such a big price to help the Kuznetsov Design Bureau, what can Runhua Industry get? Andrei Shamanov gritted his teeth and whispered, "As long as you can help us through this, we will provide you with some ...... Well, technical support and help that is not within the scope of cooperation. ”
Andrei Shamanov's hint is obvious, but for Chen Geng, it is clearly not enough. Chen Geng shook his head, simply tore his face directly, and asked Andrei Shamanov: "Andrey, we are friends, I will say some things directly...... Transporting these almost 100 tons of supplies to Samara, including the cost of procurement and transportation, means that I need to spend millions every month, tens of millions a year, and if I use this money to do the same thing as the Europeans......"
Speaking of this, Chen Geng was silent.
No one can resist the temptation!
Before Chen Geng's words landed, Andrei Shamanov knew the result, compared with Rolls-Royce, General Dynamics, Pratt Whitney and other companies, and most of the Soviet Union's military enterprises are different, Kuznetsov Design Bureau is obviously more familiar with China and Runhua Industry, since the formal establishment of the cooperative relationship between the two sides, Kuznetsov Design Bureau senior engineering and technical personnel and designers almost all have been to China, even if they have not been to China, from colleagues who have been to China, Compared with the European and American aero-engine manufacturing enterprises that everything is very uncertain, for the engineering technology and design experts of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau, it is obviously a better choice to be more familiar with Runhua Industry.
What's worse is that because of the good cooperative relationship between the two companies, when discussing how to deal with this crisis, the leaders of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau discussed various possibilities, but they never thought that Runhua Industry would also take advantage of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau.
He said in a trembling voice: "Chen ......"
"This is not our first choice," Chen Geng waved his hand, facing Andrei Shamanov's more shocked gaze, Chen Geng said calmly: "Let me tell you frankly, for Runhua Industry, a stable and complete Kuznetsov Design Bureau is in the interests of Runhua Industry, in order to maintain the integrity of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau, Runhua Industry is also willing to provide you with help within its ability, but on the one hand, Runhua Industry's harvest must match the price paid; On the other hand, if the brain drain of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau is too serious, in order to protect its own interests, Runhua Industrial will also have to be forced to adopt some drastic measures. ”
Andrei Shamanov understood, Chen Geng meant that if the Kuznetsov Design Bureau's talent drain is more serious, then they will also follow the poaching, even if the talent team is maintained more rigorously, but if maintaining this state requires Runhua Industry to pay a relatively large price, they may also strike first, and want to get the help of Runhua Industry, unless the Kuznetsov Design Bureau can make Runhua Industry feel that its efforts are worth it.
Is Andrei Shamanov angry? On the contrary, instead of being angry, he was very excited, because Chen Geng clearly gave Runhua Industrial the conditions for supporting the Kuznetsov Design Bureau: to maintain the stability of talents and teams, so that Runhua Industrial's efforts are worth it. In the current chaotic situation, the conditions of Runhua Industry are so good that they can't be more generous.
