Chapter 194: Old Jiang dies

The next day, accompanied by Alison and Navalli, Ling Shizhe came to Bombardier Aviation City in Montreal.

When he first entered the aviation city, Ling Shizhe's first impression was that it was big, too big, and the factories located in it were even bigger, and the roads between the factories were also very wide.

Among these plants, there was one plant that was particularly huge, and Navali told him that it was the final assembly plant for aircraft.

However, these factories are all guarded by the Iron General, and the whole factory area is empty and deserted, which is in stark contrast to the bustle of the McDonnell Douglas Aviation City in St. Elus.

There is a huge square in front of the assembly plant, and further ahead is the tower and runway, which is where the aircraft test flight, but today Ling Shizhe did not watch the plane test flight, but came to talk to Bombardier employees.

50 meters in front of the assembly plant, a temporary rostrum, Ling Shizhe stepped forward, looked down the stage, a group of people in Ulala, men, women and children, see that there are thousands of people in this posture, some even brought their own children, Bombardier is still the remaining employees are all here.

There are a lot of people, but when you compare it to this huge square, it still looks very empty.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Ling Shizhe, who was standing on the rostrum, tried the microphone, then took a deep breath and began to speak: "Brothers and sisters of the former Bombardier employees, from today onwards, you are a member of Ambrera, I don't need to say much about the reason, you should know that just yesterday, I have sold Bombardier!" ”

There was a slight discussion in the crowd below, but soon everyone quieted down, and Ling Shizhe continued: "After Bombardier is acquired by me, the name Bombardier will become history forever from today, and the company will use the name Ambrera Corporation!" ”

Rumble! Looking at the noise of the employees below, Ling Shizhe understands them very well, after all, he has served the company for many years, and it is uncomfortable to say that it is gone, so he wants to pause here so that everyone has enough time to digest.

There was a commotion below for a full five minutes before it quieted down, and Ling Shizhe said again: "I know what you are worried about, rest assured, the company has no plans to lay off people at present, you don't have to worry about losing your job in a short time, but I will look at your performance, if you don't perform well, then I'm sorry, I have to lay off people!" ”

"How can we make you satisfied!" Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.

Ling Shizhe replied: "Of course, it is your performance at work, if you are lazy and cheating and grinding foreign workers, then I'm sorry, please leave by yourself." There is also the original management, we will not move for the time being, I will give you a year of inspection, if within this year, the company finds that you are not competent, then I'm sorry, you can also leave by yourself......" Then Ling Shizhe read out the organizational discipline of the new company and stepped down, and the speech took less than 15 minutes.

As for what the company is going to do in the future, he didn't say anything this time, this time he came here mainly to appease people's hearts, seeing that the goal has been achieved, there is no need for Ling Shizhe to talk nonsense.

The employees below were also surprisingly calm, except for hearing that the name Bombardier was no longer used and there were some discussions, they were all quietly listening to Ling Shizhe's speech at other times.

Whether they accepted the reality, or the silence before the outbreak, Ling Shizhe didn't know, but he hoped that it was the former, Bombardier at this time couldn't help them toss, if they had to make trouble then, Ling Shizhe couldn't say anything, he could only take a permanent shutdown of Bombardier, anyway, the company has nothing, and it doesn't matter if it starts or not.

After speaking, the crowd gradually dispersed, Ling Shizhe asked someone to remove the rostrum, and followed Navali into the assembly plant.

A large plane was parked in the factory, and Navali sighed: "Boss, this plane is the BTK passenger plane personally developed by Mr. Joseph-ArmandBombardier, the founder of Bombardier, this is a mainline airliner, if it weren't for this aircraft, Bombardier would not have come to this day." ”

Ling Shizhe didn't speak, and quietly walked around the plane, which was a four-engine passenger plane with wings, and under the wings on both sides, there were two JT3D-2 turbofan engines developed by Pratt & Whitney.

The number of passengers on the plane is 137~189 people, how to say, this plane is too similar to the Republic of China's Yun 10, and it is completely a Canadian brother version of the Boeing 707 passenger aircraft.

As we all know, the design of the Y-10 is largely based on the Boeing 707 of the Boeing Company of the United States, so it is very similar to the appearance of the Boeing 707, and the BTK aircraft in front of you is also a large number of references to the design of the Boeing 707, making the appearance of this aircraft extremely similar to the other two aircraft.

Ling Shizhe didn't speak, he went up from the boarding car at the tail of the plane and entered the interior of the plane, which was not decorated in any way, nor was there a chair installed, and it was completely bare.

The cabin was filled with various test instruments, and the ground was covered with cables of various specifications, Ling Shizhe and several people carefully passed between the equipment, and came to the cockpit, the front, above, and left and right were covered with various flight instruments and switches, Ling Shizhe shook his head, and sighed in his heart, it was too backward.

Sitting down in the captain's position, tried the control wheel, to the left, not moving; To the right, do not move; Pull forward, still not moving...... Ling Shizhe gave up.

"Boss, the plane's control panel and pedals are locked and can't be moved." Navali explained.

Ling Shizhe patted the control panel, motioned for everyone to sit down casually, and said, "This plane is very similar to the Boeing 707 in appearance!" ”

"Yes, the boss, it's a reference to the Boeing 707, and the 707 is a very classic airliner, so Joseph-ArmandBombardier is a reference to him." Speaking of this, Navali shook his head helplessly, "He is too confident, and he always thinks that he can design an aircraft that is even better than the 707, but the result is ...... Ay! We used to do motorcycles and sleds, and we never had contact with airplanes, so we were at a loss. There is a great risk in building an airplane, and everyone advised him not to do it, but he just didn't listen; Someone advised him not to make such a big deal, but he still didn't listen......"

In the cockpit, Navali told the origin of the BTK plane, as well as the stubbornness of Joseph-ArmandBombardier, and suddenly, Ling Shizhe felt that there were many similarities with Jobs in Joseph-ArmandBombardie, especially in terms of personality, they were all exactly the same, they were all so persistent, once they decided something, the nine cows would not come, and they would not give up until they reached their goal, the only difference between them was that Jobs succeeded, And Joseph-Armandbombardier committed suicide in defeat.

In my previous life, when I searched for information about Bombardier on Baidu, I don't know why Bombardier was always afraid of its founder, you must know that any successful company, when promoting its corporate culture and history to the public, will put the company's founder first, and promote the company and the founder together.

For example, GE's Thomas. Edison; Microsoft's Bill. Gates; Apple's Steve Jobs, that's not the case, but Bombardier, just a simple mention of his founder can no longer be simply mentioned, and it is not until today that Ling Shizhe understands that Joseph-Armandbombardie is the eternal pain of Bombardier.

After the end of World War II, the civil aviation industry has developed rapidly, and Joseph-Armandbombardie officially saw the huge market of the aviation industry, so he decided to develop jet aircraft.

Judging from the situation at that time, there was nothing wrong with Joseph-Armandbombardie's decision, because that time was a period of transition from propeller aircraft to jet aircraft, and it was also a period of reshuffling of the aviation industry, there would be many old aircraft manufacturing giants falling, and there would be many new aircraft manufacturing companies rising, and Joseph-Armandbombardie wanted to be the one who rose to this point.

His real mistake is that he did not recognize the technical difficulty of developing jet airliners, which is much greater than the development of propeller aircraft, and the research and development of jet aircraft, the funds required are also incomparable to propeller aircraft, it needs a large amount of funds to maintain, and the slightest carelessness will cause the capital chain to break, when Boeing was developing Boeing 747, it was not because the capital chain was almost broken and went bankrupt?

Joseph-Armandbombardie used the thinking of developing propeller planes to develop jet aircraft, and did not have any experience and technical foundation in aircraft development, how could it not fail?

His correct approach was to build a small plane first, and only after the success of the smaller plane and the experience and foundation could he consider a larger plane, but as soon as he came up, he built such a big guy, and failure was already fate.

"Navali, we thought about it for a long time, and felt that there was no hope for the BTK plane to continue like this, so I decided to dismount the BTK, what do you think?"

After thinking for five minutes, Navali said, "Boss, although I am very reluctant in my heart, I also know that it is time to make a decision, and I agree to dismount BTK. ”

"Where do you want employees, I want to ...... You go and do their job, okay? ”

"There is no problem boss, they will agree, anyone can see that there is no point in continuing to waste time and money on BTK, and dismounting is the best choice. But boss, if an employee asks me what his plans are for the future, what should I say? ”

"Bombardier's aviation division will merge with China Aircraft Industry Corporation, and Zhou Yuanhang will be the president of the new company," Ling Shizhe pointed to Zhou Yuanhang, who was sitting in the navigation position, "and he would tell them what to do next." As for you, Mr. Navali, I arranged it this way, the company will set up Ambrera International Transportation Equipment Company, and set up three subsidiaries under China Aircraft Industry Corporation, Ambrera Vehicle Manufacturing Company and Ambrera Rail Transit Manufacturing Company, and you will be the president of the transportation manufacturing department, and Zhou Yuanhang is the vice president, as for who will be the president of the remaining two companies, I will leave it to you to decide, okay? ”

Handing over the decision of the presidents of the two subsidiaries to Navalli is Ling Shizhe's great trust in him, and it is also one of the necessary means to appease the former Bombardier employees, and Ling Shizhe and Navalli had several exchanges before acquiring Bombardier, and his business philosophy of Bombardier is very much in line with Bombardier's business philosophy in the future, since Bombardier was able to achieve such great success in his previous life, Ling Shizhe has reason to believe that Navalli's concept is successful.

If it's correct, why not? Bringing Navali up, that is, appeasing people's hearts and retaining talents, what's wrong, and arranging Zhou Yuanhang as vice president, it's simpler, one is to monitor, and the other is to vaguely say to Zhou Yuanhang, boss, I trust you very much, you have to work for me.

Sure enough, Navali was so happy that he didn't know why, and he expressed his determination to Ling Shizhe that he must run the transportation department well, must be loyal to Ling Shizhe, and must cooperate well with Zhou Yuanhang.

Isn't he stupid, he also knows that he has the intention of letting Zhou Yuanhang be his deputy, and he also has the intention of monitoring him, Zhou Yuanhang didn't speak from beginning to end, and he didn't know the purpose of Ling Shizhe's arrangement, but they were not angry in their hearts, because this showed that they still had weight in Ling Shizhe's heart.

The acquisition of the company is not achieved overnight, it takes a lot of time just to review the assets and finances, these things are done by a professional accounting company, and Ling Shizhe does not need to worry about it, he just listens to the report.

Ambrera has always been working with Pricewater, while Bombardier is working with Ernst & Young (YE), and the two acquisitions will inevitably take place.

PW and YE are both one of the four major international accounting firms in the future, and have a high reputation in the industry, so he is not worried about Bombardier's financial problems, after the assets are cleared, Ling Shizhe did not end the cooperation with YE, and continued to let Ernst & Young take charge of the accounting work of Ambrera International Transportation Equipment after the renaming.

Ye President Douglas thought that after this asset inventory, he would be completely over at Bombardier, but he didn't expect such an unexpected joy, so he personally went out to meet with Ling Shizhe, and finally established a long-term cooperative relationship with Ambrera International Transportation Equipment Company at a very favorable price.

Ambrera is getting bigger and bigger, the company's finances can not be handed over to an accounting firm for a long time, the introduction of two accounting companies, in addition to effectively forming a competitive mechanism to save costs, but also more effectively ensure the company's financial security.

While Ling Shizhe was busy handing over the assets of Bombardier, Ling Zhigao, who was far away in Hong Kong, called him and told him that Chiang/Jie/Shi had passed away and asked him to come back immediately.
