Chapter 233: Willie Messersmit
"Sit down, I'm sorry, my company has gone bankrupt lately, so I really can't offer anything special to entertain you. I worked with Hart a few years ago, and then he ended up separating from me because of my avant-garde designs and frequent safety incidents, which was a very unpleasant experience. ”
In the end, Willie Messersmitt still didn't let He Yujie and Wang help a few people to eat behind closed doors. But the attitude is not very enthusiastic, purely treating a few people as potential customers, but Willie Messersmitt does not have much hope for these yellow-skinned potential customers.
"I'm sorry, we don't want to mention Mr. Wiley's past, but we have come here to hear that Mr. Wiley intends to reopen the Bavarian aircraft factory, and that Mr. Wiley intends to simplify the process of building aircraft, so that the production of aircraft can be expanded with the same input. We think this is a very promising view, so I would like to seek the cooperation of Mr. Wiley, introduce myself, I am a master's degree graduate of the aviation department of Yale University in the United States, and I used to be the chief designer of Boeing Airlines, and then under the discrimination of the United States, I returned to China, and I wanted to use the knowledge I learned to make some contributions to the country's aviation industry, but unfortunately, my efforts over the years do not seem to have made any substantial progress. ”
In front of Willy, who seems to be a failure in his career, Wang Zhu also mentioned that he was not very outstanding. In the past few years of the Republic of China, the development of the aviation industry has made great strides. Although he didn't know why Jiang Li's side would attach so much importance to Wei Li, after all, the other party had not yet designed a more outstanding aircraft. Think about it. Willie Messersmitt though now a rundown. The little-known Gansu is even more of a broken settlement.
Even if the Bavarian aircraft plant goes bankrupt and closes down. However, this factory is also an aircraft manufacturing plant that has existed since before the war in Europe, and at its peak it produced 200 aircraft per month, and its quality can be recognized by the German government and military as excellent. Compared with the foundation in the aviation manufacturing industry, the Bavarian aircraft factory is many times stronger than the Republic of China. Although it is much worse than other large aircraft factories, those large airlines will look at small households like Gansu in the Republic of China?
"Yale University master's degree, that's a very good university. Yes, I also wanted to use my knowledge to do something for the country, but I always did what I wanted. "After hearing Wang Zhu's past. Willie couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy, and felt a little more identified with Wang Zhu, a yellow-skinned guy.
"But we're not discouraged by previous failures, are we?" Wang Zhu said with a smile.
"It seems that our views are relatively consistent, but to get back to the point, I don't know what we can work with?" Willie shrugged his shoulders and asked, although he thought that these yellow-skinned people were not bad, but in order to rise to a cooperative relationship, there must be common ground of interests.
"Well, presumably Mr. Willie also knows that China's current industrial base is very weak, and it does not have the ability to build a modern aircraft factory for the time being, so we have set our sights abroad. That is, Mr. Wiley, you are in the case of the Bavarian aircraft factory, although it is bankrupt. But it is still a very powerful factory, but it lacks good design for the time being. There is no order to feed the employees of this plant. A good aircraft design needs inspiration, and here we don't mean to doubt Mr. Wiley's abilities. Therefore, I want to participate in the design and production of aircraft through funding, and I also brought some people here, hoping to be trained by the Bavarian aircraft factory and provide a certain talent reserve base for returning to China to build an aircraft factory in the future. ”
Wang Zhu paused for a moment and said with a serious face, "Your country has been oppressed by other countries since the end of the European war more than ten years ago. And our country is now facing the invasion of Japan, from last year to this year more than 100,000 people have died on the battlefield, our weakness in aviation makes an urgent need for a sufficiently advanced fighter. to change the status quo of Chinese people being slaughtered by the Japanese. Mr. Wiley, I hope you will accept our request. ”
"Well, you also know that I am not alone in the matter of restoring the Bavarian aircraft factory, in fact, my collaborator Ruzel also has a considerable say, and I must discuss this matter with him before I can reply to you." Willie thought for a moment and said cautiously.
"That's as it should be." Wang Zhu nodded, this time, as long as the Germans like Willy do not have prejudices against them, it is a victory, so Wang Zhu wasted no time in saying, "This time the force I represent allows me to have a disbursement of 500,000 US dollars, if I can't cooperate with your company, we will continue to seek other partners." ”
"Half a million dollars!" When Willy heard this number, his mind was in a mess, which was equivalent to more than 2.1 million German marks. It's definitely a huge amount of money, in fact, even if he partners with Ruzel to pull the aircraft factory again, Willy is not sure that he will be able to hold on for too long. Just last year, the M20 small single-engine transport aircraft designed by him was bought by Lufthansa, but the M20 was a very unsuccessful civil transport aircraft, with a very high failure rate, and directly crashed a few planes, naturally many people died, one of whom was a close friend of Lufthansa President Milch.
The little hair who was as close as a sibling died, and Milch naturally hated Willy to the core. If it was just his hatred, the bad thing was that Milch was still a very fanatical fascist, and he was now the chairman of the German civil aviation. Last year's bankruptcy of the Bavarian aircraft factory was the work of Milch, and it has not yet recovered. It is indeed a very frustrating thing to set up such a strong rival in the business field. Facing Milch also made him very unconfident about the revitalization of the aircraft factory. Maybe it's time to think something else for the aircraft factory. Let's fight again, it still doesn't work, and when the factory is cornered, there is no other choice. Willie Messersmitt decided.
Wang Zhu saw Willy's expression in his eyes, and smiled in his heart, it seems that this foreigner is a little moved, and sure enough, money can make ghosts grind. No matter how arrogant foreigners are, most of them are humble in front of money. (To be continued.) )
