Chapter 271: Revitalizing BMW
Under duress, several shareholders of BMW had to sell all their shares in BMW for 10 million marks. In fact, this is a good thing for both parties, it is a win-win situation. The original shareholders received considerable income, and the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex received an established aero-engine and automobile company. This is another excellent news for the mass production of the Wind and Thunder series engines that will be carried out by the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex.
Now the Thunder Jet Engine and the Thunderbolt Turboprop Engine can all be produced at BMW! The world's first practical jet engine production plant is still BMW, and this has not changed, what has changed is that BMW is now a member of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex!
With the assistance of the General Council of German Economy, Xiao Weiguo successfully acquired BMW. Xiao Weiguo felt extremely happy, BMW was one of the most powerful car companies in his previous life, driving a Mercedes-Benz and riding a BMW, this is the dream of many people's hearts! You can imagine how deeply rooted the BMW brand is. Of course, at that time, BMW was mainly producing cars. At present, BMW is still a company with aero engines as its main business, and automobiles are only a short time after it has been involved, and BMW is also developing and producing motorcycle products.
After taking BMW, Xiao Weiguo was thinking about how to better develop this company, after all, it was only for it to produce aero engines, which seemed to be a bit insulting to its future world famous brand status. Isn't Hitler now going to produce a universal car? You can have it for 1000 Reichsmarks. If BMW is allowed to exert its strength in the automotive field, maybe it can be revitalized earlier, Xiao Weiguo has future automotive technology, if BMW uses advanced automotive technology and more beautiful styling, it will lead the trend of the entire world's automotive industry! It's exciting to think about. And with the help of its automotive technology, the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex can develop more ground weapons and equipment. For example, military jeeps, wheeled armored vehicles, self-propelled rocket artillery, self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery, etc., once a war breaks out, these products can be said to be in short supply.
Therefore, it is necessary to plan the development of the BMW company. Therefore, as soon as Xiao Weiguo took over BMW, he held a meeting, which was attended by him, Messerschmidt and Lucas. Then there is the top management of BMW. Now BMW has just changed its boss, but Xiao Weiguo has not moved its management. BMW's general manager, Dr. Delot, and chief designer, Dr. Singh, have not changed, but a new deputy chief designer, Dr. Herman, has been promoted! Because Xiao Weiguo knows that Dr. Herman is very talented in aero engines, especially jet engines. Without his appearance, the general designer of the BMW 003 jet engine would have been Herman.
With the new boss, the general manager De Lott and the chief designer Dr. Singh are a little uneasy, and they are also afraid that Xiao Weiguo will fire them, after all, BMW is getting worse and worse in their hands. Although there is a big reason for this, the economic crisis, but the new boss will usually make a big change in the acquired company before he can really take control of the new company. So both of them feel that this meeting, is it to announce that the two of them have been dismissed?
Dr. Herman was promoted from a project leader to the position of deputy chief designer, so he didn't have to worry about it at all. He was more thinking about whether the company would be revitalized after the change of boss, and whether he could design more products.
The meeting was held in a small conference room at BMW. Xiao Weiguo presided over the meeting and announced the new appointments at the beginning of the meeting
Xiao Weiguo said loudly: "It's a pleasure to have so many managers of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium in a meeting today. Our main topic today is how to revitalize BMW. Everyone knows that BMW is now seriously losing money and is struggling to survive, although it has been able to survive with orders for piston engines for the M30 transport aircraft. But we've got our hands on it. It's not about letting it lose money, but about getting it back on its feet and winning more profits for the shareholders of our Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex! It is necessary to make BMW bigger and stronger, and become the pillar enterprise of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Industry Complex. ”
After a pause, Xiao Weiguo continued: "So, we decided not to make major changes to BMW's management. The general manager remains Mr. Delort. Dr. Singh will continue to be the chief designer, and we will hire Dr. Herman as Deputy Chief Designer and Chief Engineer, and we will appoint an Executive Deputy General Manager to assist Mr. De Lort in managing BMW. I don't know if you have the confidence to rebuild BMW under the leadership of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium and reach a new height? ”
After speaking. Xiao Weiguo set his sights on the three of BMW.
In the face of Xiao Weiguo and Messerschmidt and Lucas, deputy general manager of Dragon Soul Aircraft, De Lort and others felt that they were very lucky, the new boss not only did not fire them, but also trusted them so much that none of their positions were demoted, and even Herman was promoted. Delot's mood is particularly complicated, in fact, he has not worked hard in recent years, but BMW does face too much competitive pressure, and the company's shareholders are not very supportive of the company's large-scale expansion, so under the leadership of the old boss, he did not let BMW go further. Now that it has become a subsidiary of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, perhaps a good thing, Delott is determined to bring BMW back to life and do a good job!
Faced with Xiao Weiguo's question, Delort was the first to answer: "Mr. Philip, thank you for your trust in us!" First of all, I want to say that in the past few years, we have not done our due diligence enough, BMW has not performed well, and we cannot attribute it all to the economic downturn. We did not have anything to do well, but now we have decided to work hard and strive to build the company under the leadership of the new boss! Speaking of which, BMW and BFW were originally one company, but they separated for some reason, and now they are back! So, rest assured that Mr. Philip, Mr. Messerschmidt and Mr. Lucas will manage BMW according to your requirements and actively explore and restore it to its glory! (To be continued.) )
