Chapter 1527 The Future First Deputy Technical Officer (Third Shift, Third Shift)
Wang Guoliang didn't understand what Lin Hongfei was talking about, he couldn't understand it at all, why did this failure lay the foundation for the future? Could it be that "the withdrawn fist will be more powerful when it is hit again"? It doesn't look like it.
Don't think about things that can't be figured out, in terms of business, Wang Guoliang never thought that he would be smarter than Lin Hongfei, since Lin Hongfei thought that this was right, and said that he still didn't understand after listening to himself, then he shut up, he asked instead, "Then what are we going to do next?" ”
"We're going to visit someone."
"Who?" Wang Guoliang is really a little curious, who is this guy? was able to let his arrogant cousin-in-law use the word "visit".
"Bob, Bob. Lutz, "Lin Hongfei," is the former chief technical officer of Chrysler Automotive Group. ”
Bob. What happened to Lutz still deviates from history. Iacocca stepped down and was one of the two Chrysler Auto Group presidential candidates. Eaton was taken by Lee. After Icocca was righted, another presidential candidate, Bob Brown. Lutz became the chief technical officer of Chrysler Automobile Group, Chrysler Automobile Group was already extravagant and wasteful before the merger with Daimler, the number of jet business jets alone was bought 5, and the number of business helicopters was as high as 8, Chrysler Automobile Group's luxury and waste can be seen from this, under such serious luxury and waste, Chrysler Cars can still maintain high profitability, absolutely with Bob. Lutz, the chief technical officer, is inseparable from the precision of his technical skills.
But now, things have changed a bit, and in Lee. Less than half a year after Iacocca stepped down, Bob Murphy. Lutz has been with Bob several times because of his ideas on the development of the technique. Eaton clashed and finally left Chrysler Auto Group three months ago. I'm at home right now.
"Bob. Lutz? Wang Guoliang's eyes instantly widened, and his face was full of incredulity, "You want to invite Bob. Lutz coming to work in our company? ”
"Yes, don't you think this guy is a very capable guy," Lin Hongfei nodded, and said with a natural expression, "What's the problem?" ”
"What's the problem? Big problem! Wang Guoliang's expression was already a little angry, "Bob. Lutz came to our company, how do you arrange him? You are the Chief Technical Officer of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. ”
"It doesn't matter, he will become the first vice president of our company." Lin Hongfei waved his hand disapplausively, "Could it be Bob. Lutz thinks he can surpass me in terms of car design? ”
Wang Guoliang was speechless for a while.
That's right, Bob. Lutz is indeed the leader of Chrysler Motors in terms of technology, but if compared with Lin Hongfei, an anti-heaven level existence, his ability is still on the ground. It is within the realm of human comprehension...... Even if it's Bob. Lutz has also personally admitted that Lin Hongfei is the most talented and organizational designer he has ever met. This. Even the top design master of the car, George. Yarrow and single-handedly created the top sports car: Ferrari's Enzo. Ferraris are slightly inferior.
For Bob. Lutz's words, the dead Enzo. Of course, Ferrari couldn't jump out of the ground to object, but George. Yarrow acquiesced to this, George. Yarrow also personally admitted that in terms of car design and concept, Lin Hongfei's thinking is more "open".
"And what if he doesn't agree?" I held it for a long time. Wang Guoliang finally came up with a sentence.
"Disagree?" Lin Hongfei grinned, "It's true that his ability is very good, but the position of chief technical officer of the major automobile manufacturers in the world is not so easy to vacate." ”
…………………………………………
"Lin, is that you?" Lin Hongfei did not inform Bob in advance before coming. Lutz. At this moment, I saw Lin Hongfei's, Bob. Lutz's eyes were full of surprise, of course, more of a happy one, after a short period of surprise, this guy immediately turned sideways and flew Lin Hong inside, "Lin, come on, come on, please come in...... When did you come to the United States? ”
Although Lin Hongfei has not been in contact with him for much time, and the specific design issues have never been discussed, Lin Hongfei has said a lot about the design concept of cars and engines in several times. Lutz said that every time he communicates with Lin Hongfei, he can realize a lot of things...... Although the relationship between the two is not very familiar, but Lin Hongfei's sudden visit still made Bob. Lutz was pleasantly surprised.
"It's only been two days since I arrived...... Bob, this is a New Year's gift for you, I hope you can enjoy it. Lin Hongfei said, took a big red Chinese knot from Wang Guoliang's hand and handed it to him.
"New Year?" Bob. Lutz was stunned for a moment, "The New Year has passed, huh?" ”
Wang Guoliang grinned when he heard it: Foreigners are too straight, how can this kind of thing be said directly?
Lin Hongfei was not angry, and explained to him, "It is our country's New Year, and there is a time difference of about a month between it and your Western AD chronology, and according to the current date, there is still half a month...... This is a New Year's gift according to our Chinese New Year's algorithm. ”
"I see!" Bob. It dawned on Luz that he could receive a gift from a foreign New Year, and the gift was from someone he admired very much. Lutz was overjoyed, "Lin, thank you, thank you, this is the best gift I've ever received, and there's still half a month, right?" Ha...... Well, I'll be sure to show this gift to my friends that day...... Irina, look, isn't this gift beautiful? Well, this is Lin, as I told you, the most powerful person in the world in terms of car and internal combustion engine design, this is his secretary. ”
Women are always inherently unresistant to these delicate and beautiful things that are not too expensive, Bob. Rutz's wife, Irina. Lutz took the big Chinese knot, his eyes were full of surprise, and he couldn't put it down and said to Lin Hongfei, "It's so beautiful, Lin, thank you...... Are you Lin? ”
Irina looked at Lin Hongfei with some curiosity. Of course, the look was definitely kind, "Bob often mentions you, God, you're so young!" I heard you just got married? ”
"Yes, ma'am," Lin Hongfei couldn't have treated Bob like he had with Irina. Lutz was so casual and complimented, "Ma'am." You're so young, and Bob is so lucky to have such a beautiful wife as you. ”
Good Bob yourself. Luz is still an acquaintance with each other, but this is the first time Irina has met, can he convince Bob. Lutz went to work in his company, and Irina was a key factor. If she had strenuously objected, this would probably not have happened...... to women. You can't always go wrong with complimenting her on being young and pretty.
"Really?" Really. Hearing Lin Hongfei praise herself for being young and beautiful, like all middle-aged women who are praised for being young and beautiful, Irina really subconsciously reached out and touched her face, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "Lin, you are too polite." Now I'm just a middle-aged woman with a disfigured figure, where can I get along with being young and beautiful? ”
"Mrs. Lutz, you are wrong, you are the standard of a mature woman, beautiful, generous, sexy and steady...... Bob. You say, is it your luck to marry such a woman? Of course, it would be more appropriate for Irina's husband to answer this kind of topic.
"Of course, I'm lucky to be able to marry you." Bob. Luz said immediately, without a second of hesitation.
Lin Hongfei laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this, sure enough, it seems that all men in the world are virtuous when dealing with the problem of their wives.
This time Irina didn't say anything, but threw a big wink at her husband, obviously very satisfied with her husband's answer, and said, "Why don't you invite the guests in?" ”
……………………
"Lin, did you come to me for something this time?" After a brief pleasantries, Bob. Lutz simply asked Lin Hongfei directly.
Westerners, as expected, are still more tactful and subtle than they are used to. Wang Guoliang frowned slightly: although he knew that this was a habit of Westerners, he couldn't adapt to it anyway.
But Lin Hongfei also prefers this simple and direct way of talking. Lutz asked directly, and he replied more directly, "That's right, that's right, I appreciate Mr. Bob's technical skills and management skills, and now my company still lacks a first deputy technical officer, I wonder if you are interested, Mr. Bob?" ”
"First Mate Technician?" Bob. Lutz couldn't help but groan.
Although the total production capacity of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is not high. Lutz is interested in Lin Hongfei, and he also knew about the strength of Chrysler Automobile's partner, and he knows that by the end of this year, the annual production capacity of Guqi Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. can exceed 500,000 vehicles, and the production capacity of 500,000 vehicles can be regarded as the production capacity of second-rate top automobile companies in the world, and what is even more terrifying is that Lin Hongfei's country has a huge and frightening population base, which means a huge market with an annual digestion capacity of at least 5 million cars. A huge market that can absorb 5 million cars a year!
As a veteran of the automotive industry, Bob . Lutz knows better how terrifying the figure of 5 million is! But what is even more terrifying is that according to the five-year plan of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., they will reach an annual output of more than 1 million vehicles!
With the profitability of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., with this production capacity, the attractiveness of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is actually not weaker than any first-class automobile manufacturer in the world, not to mention the existence of Lin Hongfei? It's just that he is still a little hesitant...... If it's the Chief Technical Officer, Bob. Lutz felt that he would definitely agree immediately without hesitation, but the first technical officer?
Lin Hongfei is the chief technical officer of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., of course he knows this, ask yourself, in terms of technology and management ability, he is indeed inferior to Lin Hongfei, but ......
After some hesitation, Bob. Lutz still said to Lin Hongfei, "Lin, I need to think about it." ”
"Of course." Lin Hongfei smiled and nodded, "This is a big deal, I can fully understand it...... At any time, the door of my company is open to you. ”
"Thank you!" Bob. Lutz said, compared with just now, this thank you is much more sincere, maybe Lin Hongfei's words have more greetings, but he is still very grateful.
……………………
"Boss, how could he disagree?" All the way up to Bob. When Lutz's house came out, Wang Guoliang's face was still full of incredulity.
"No, he's already agreed." Lin Hongfei smiled, with a somewhat unfathomable taste on his face.
"Huh?"
"Wait, three days at most, we'll get a call from him before we leave." Lin Hongfei smiled, but he didn't explain, only dropped this sentence.
How can it be? Wang Guoliang shook his head suspiciously: This is too unrealistic.
————————————————————————
But this thing that made Wang Guoliang feel impossible happened in front of his eyes.
When his group finished their activities in the United States and prepared to return to China the night before, Lin Hongfei received Bob. Lutz's phone, Bob. Lutz said to Lin Hongfei in a joking tone, "Lin, I think I should call you boss now." ”
"Hah...... That wishes us a happy cooperation," although I was full of confidence before, when I received Bob in person. When Lutz called, Lin Hongfei still clenched his fists hard: It's a success! He really needed such a capable assistant. "Bob, I'm going back tomorrow, do you want to come with me to see our company? By the way, talk about your contract. ”
"I'm afraid your plane won't fit that many people," said Bob. There was a hint of smugness in Lutz's tone, "There are more than 50 of us, all of whom are colleagues who resigned from Chrysler with me, Lin, are you sure you can accept us all?" ”
Just like Lin Hongfei said to Wang Guoliang, he is a high-end practitioner in the automotive industry, but the more high-end positions, the fewer "pits", and it is actually very difficult to find a job similar to what he was engaged in before. So in fact, he is the first deputy technical officer who is equivalent to most of the chief technical officer, and Lin Hongfei may give guidance in the general direction of the development of technical skills, but if he serves as the first deputy technical officer, he will definitely have the final say in the specific work.
Figured this out, Bob. Lutz didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately called Lin Hongfei, but the only thing he was worried about was whether Lin Hongfei could accept his people?
"Oh God!" Lin Hongfei exclaimed, but the next moment, he was almost crazy with excitement, "Guoliang, go, contact the airline, and arrange a charter flight for me in the shortest possible time!" ”
