Chapter 48 Cooperation with Messerschmidt

Messerschmidt was happy when he suddenly said, "Philip, are you interested in entering the aerospace industry?" I think we can cooperate and set up an aircraft manufacturing company in Sweden, not only to build transport planes, but also to manufacture fighter jets and bombers! ”

Philip thought it was a good suggestion. The Treaty of Versailles stipulates that Germany cannot have an air force, nor can it manufacture military aircraft such as fighter jets, but it is completely possible to bypass the provisions of the peace treaty through other parties, such as Messerschmidt said, the two sides jointly established an aircraft manufacturing company in Sweden, so that the provisions of the Versailles Peace Treaty are not violated! This is a great opportunity for me to establish an aviation manufacturing company through a joint venture, and then I can gradually expand the scope of business and establish an ordnance group on this basis!

Knowing this, Philip said excitedly, "Dr. Wiley, are you serious?" ”

"Philip, do you think I'm going to say it? You know, my company in Germany is subject to a lot of restrictions, and I have long wanted to find a trustworthy partner outside Germany to jointly create the foundation of the aviation industry! Dr. Wiley said in an affirmative tone peculiar to Germanic peoples.

Philip said gloomily: "Dr. Wiley, although your proposal is very good, but you know that I have just come to Sweden, and I have no capital, what can I do to cooperate with you!" ”

Messerschmidt smiled and said, "Philip, the technology you master is the best capital!" I believe that your talent in aircraft design and manufacturing is no less than that of anyone else, so I will take a stake in 70% of the shares with capital and equipment, and you will take a stake in 30% of the shares with your technology, and let's work together! How about you name the new company and manage it? ”

When Lucas heard this, he exclaimed, "My God! How did such a good thing not fall on my head! Philip, you hurry up and agree, what else is there to hesitate! ”

Seeing Messerschmidt's expectant expression and sincere gaze in his eyes, Philip knew that this opportunity must be seized, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Good! Since Dr. Wiley thinks so highly of me Philip, it would be a friend if I refused! ”

The two of them clasped hands tightly together, looked at each other with trust, and Messerschmidt laughed and said, "The biggest thing I learned from coming to Stockholm this time is that I got to know you, Philip!" And cooperating to start an aircraft manufacturing company is definitely the most correct decision in my life! ”

Anna stood aside, also overjoyed, everything about Philip touched her heart. Now that Philip has been given another opportunity to develop, how could she not be happy.

The same is true for Lucas, for whom the establishment of a new company means a new beginning. Although Bofors is very good and Carl values them, it is always someone else's company. Now, although Philip only owns 30% of the shares, Messerschmidt has already said that the new company will be managed by Philip, that is, Messerschmidt is equivalent to an investor, but he does not interfere in the affairs of the new company.

Christina exclaimed, "Oh my God! This is definitely a valuable piece of news! I wonder if you two can be interviewed by me? ”

"No, you can't!" Philip said firmly, "Christina, this matter should not be publicized too much, we have to keep a low profile." You must know that Germany is still subject to many restrictions of the Versailles Peace Treaty, although we cooperate in this way, it is not a violation of the provisions of the peace treaty, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is better not to expose it. ”

When Christina heard this, she immediately wilted, and said faintly: "Well, it seems that I am too enthusiastic!" ”

Messerschmidt comforted: "Miss Christina, please don't be careful. Philip was right when he said that the fewer people who know about this matter, the better, and we want to declare to the public that the owner of this company is Philip, and it is better not to mention BMW. ”

After saying that, Messerschmidt said to Philip again: "By the way, Philip, you can choose a bright name for the new company!" ”

Philip thought for a moment and said excitedly: "I think it's called Dragonsoul Aircraft Manufacturing Company!" Dragonsoul means Dragonsoul, which means that our new company will be able to soar into the sky like a dragon in the future! It also represents the indomitable will of our Germans! ”

Messerschmidt said with satisfaction: "Good! Good! Good! That's it, I'm ready to take out five million Reichsmarks and inject them into our joint venture. Of course, the company's first product, you need to plan, Philip, and the location of the new company, you must choose well! ”

In this way, the establishment of the Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing Company was confirmed, and everyone was very happy, especially Philip, this kind of opportunity is rare!

As soon as the forum dinner was over, Philip returned to his lodgings with Lucas and Anna, and the three of them gathered in Philip's room to discuss the next steps. Because as soon as the new company is established, all three people have to leave Bofors, which is a very complicated matter, and all three people currently own 1% of Bofors' shares, should they continue to keep or sell? And what to say about this?

The three of them sat on the sofa, and Lucas showed a wistful expression: "Philip, do you really realize what this Dr. Willie said?" ”

Anna also frowned and said, "yes, I feel like it's a dream!" I can't believe there could be such a good thing! ”

Philip stretched out his hands, put his left hand on the back of Anna's hand, and put his right hand on the back of Lucas's hand, and said in an affirmative tone: "You can put a hundred hearts!" I still know a little bit about Dr. Wiley, he is a very honest man! What he says is absolutely credible! And now, he really needs to use his performance to maintain the survival of BMW, I know that they are developing the M20 small transport aircraft, and there are indeed a lot of problems, if their company does not have a successful commercial aircraft to the market, I am afraid it will face bankruptcy. And after cooperating with us, on the one hand, he can not be restricted by the Treaty of Versailles, and on the other hand, he does see that our potential is very great, for example, the Vulcan cannon, if installed on a fighter, will indeed become a terrible weapon, coupled with Dr. Wiley's design ability in fighters, the combination of the two will give birth to a powerful air combat weapon. ”

When Anna heard Philip say this, she raised her brows: "It's just that if we leave Bofors now, Mr. Karl will be very unhappy!" What can we say so that Mr. Karl does not embarrass us? ”

Philip stood up and took a few steps: "Actually, this problem is easy to solve, that is, we still retain the status of Bofors shareholders, and promise that after the new company is established, not only will we not compete with Bofors, but we will also establish a partnership with Bofors. Because our new company is an aircraft manufacturing company, it is not in direct competition with Bofors' main business, on the contrary, we can cooperate with each other! For example, the cooperation in the development of new aviation materials, aerial bombs and other products, which is what Bofors is best at. ”
