Chapter 827: The surname Chen, let's see

Before this, no one dared to expect to be able to invite a master aero engine expert like Collins McKennie to work in Huaxia, but now, Chen Geng actually said that he invited Collins McKenney?

If it weren't for the fact that he had dealt with Chen Geng for too long and was extremely familiar with Chen Geng's personality and character, Guo Wenxiang would almost have to shoot the case: Is it okay to brag and have a bit of a score?

But now, looking at Chen Geng with a serious face, an extreme ecstasy emerged from the bottom of Guo Wenxiang's heart: Could it be ...... Did Chen Geng really do it?

"Mr. Chen, you ...... Did you really invite Mr. Collins?" Because he was so excited, Guo Wenxiang's voice even trembled slightly.

"Yes," Chen Geng nodded, and took the initiative to explain without waiting for Guo Wenxiang to ask: "Didn't our COMAC Group set up a subsidiary specializing in small aviation power a few days ago, and this subsidiary was established to cooperate with Mr. Collins, and after Mr. Collins officially arrived, he will own 20% of the shares of this subsidiary......"

Before Chen Geng's words were finished, Guo Wenxiang nodded again and again: "No problem, no problem, it should be, it should be ......."

Previously, Chen Geng decided to set up a subsidiary specializing in the R&D and manufacturing of small turboprops and turboshaft engines with 100 to 300 horsepower...... Naturally, no one dared to stand up.

Now, after listening to Chen Geng's words, Guo Wenxiang feels that he finally understands Chen Geng's good intentions: it turns out that Chen Geng's goal is here!

As for Chen Geng's 20% stake in Collins McNee, as long as Collins McKennie can really help Huaxia make an excellent and reliable APU auxiliary power, this stake is not a problem at all!

After speaking, Guo Wenxiang paused slightly, and then said: "As long as your APU products can pass our test, in the future, the domestic production of fixed-wing aircraft of more than 10 tons, as well as rotary-wing aircraft of more than 5 tons, will be popularized and installed in succession, of course, ......."

Speaking of this, Guo Wenxiang was a little embarrassed: "The APU we purchase from your company can only pay RMB. ”

"Of course. ”

Chen Geng also did not expect Huaxia to pay for the purchase of APUs in US dollars.

……………………

After receiving Chen Geng's notice that "the Chinese government agrees to purchase APU products in small quantities after passing the test, and after a period of trial and confirming that there are no problems, APU will be fully popularized", Collins McKennie and Culv Robbins immediately took action.

Collins McKennie soon submitted his resignation to the Rolls-Royce board of directors, hoping to leave Rolls-Royce.

As one of Rolls-Royce's foremost experts in the field of aero engines, Collins McKennie's resignation immediately alarmed the group's board of directors.

The directors of Rolls-Royce Group wondered: Why did you quit because Collins McKennie did a good job? Is it stressful at work? If it is stressful at work, it doesn't matter, the group can give you a long vacation;

Or do you have any difficulties at home? If there are any difficulties at home, it doesn't matter, if there are any difficulties, you can just say that the company will try to help you solve them.

Faced with the retention of the group's HR department, Collins McKennie was adamant, saying that he was tired of the job and wanted to try something new.

Although Collins McKennie's attitude is very resolute, but Rolls-Royce obviously can't let him go easily, at this time, the chairman of the group, Calf Robbins, stood up, he personally communicated with Collins McKenney, regretfully to the group board of directors only tried his best to stay, but Collins McKennie has made up his mind, and people are determined to leave.

In addition, Calph Robbins said that Collins McKennie did not plan to go to Rolls-Royce's rivals, General Electric and Pratt Whitney, but to join Mr. Fernandez Chen's new small aviation power development and manufacturing company, and the reason for this choice was that Mr. Fernandez Chen promised Collins McKennie that he would get a 20% stake in the newly formed company and give him a guaranteed annual salary of 300,000 pounds a year after tax.

20% company shares, Β£300,000 annual salary after tax......

All right!

Collins McKennie's current annual salary is 200,000 pounds before tax, which translates into an annual income of about 130,000 pounds after tax, which means that as long as Collins McKennie goes to Fernandez Chen's company, his income is almost 2.5 times that of now, and if the company generates profits in the future, the annual dividend is also a lot of money.

In the face of Chen Geng's huge cost of poaching people, the directors of Rolls-Royce Company not only said angrily, "How can Fernandez be like this?!" and the sour "Rich is great?", they actually understood in their hearts that Rolls-Royce had no way to keep Collins McKennie, this person was decided, but there were still some people who were unwilling......

"Sir," one of the directors asked, "isn't there any other way to stop Mr. McKennie from leaving......?"

Before the director finished speaking, Calph Robbins already understood what the other party meant: "Ryan, I understand what you mean, I asked the HR department to carefully study Mr. Collins McKenney's contract, unfortunately, our non-compete on Mr. Collins McKennie does not include Mr. Fernandez's COMAC, so ......"

Shrugging his shoulders, Culph Robbins said with a bit of helplessness: "If Mr. Collins McKennie insists, in fact, we have no choice but to ask Mr. Collins McKennie to complete the handover of the work before leaving, according to the contract." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The director, who wanted to think of a way to deal with the contract, was speechless, and after a while, he said indignantly: "I think it is necessary to revise and improve the content of the previous contract." ”

Ignoring the reluctant director, Ralph Robbins continued: "Gentlemen, although the departure of Mr. Collins McKennie is indeed a great loss for Rolls-Royce, there is no need for us to be so nervous, and we might as well think about it the other way around, fortunately Mr. Collins McKennie is not our old adversary, Pratt Whitney and General Electric......"

Sure enough, hearing Ralph Robbins's words, the expressions on the faces of the directors looked much better: from this point of view, Sir Robbins was indeed right, although Collins McKennie's departure was a huge loss for Rolls-Royce, but fortunately, Collins McKennie did not go to Rolls-Royce's rival.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Ralph Robbins knew that the heat was almost over, he paused slightly, and then continued with a confident face: "And gentlemen, we must understand that the reason why Rolls-Royce is Rolls-Royce has never relied on a single person, but our profound heritage and technical accumulation, Mr. Collins McKennie's departure will certainly bring us some losses, but have we resigned over the years?"

But Rolls-Royce is still Rolls-Royce, and Rolls-Royce is Rolls-Royce, and we're still one of the strongest companies in the world in the field of aero engines, and we never happen because someone comes or leaves. ”

"That's right!"

"Well said, Sir!"

…………

Ralph Robbins's words made the faces of these gentlemen of the British Empire, whose faces were bigger than the sky, look a lot better: Yes, you Collins McKennie does have some ability, but so what? Without you Zhang Butcher, would Lao Tzu have to eat hairy pigs?

Don't even think about it!

But in this way, when you cooperate with FernΓ‘ndez Chen in the future, you have to be careful, this guy is not a good thing......

Just when the directors were labeling Chen Geng in their hearts, Ralph Robbins spoke again, and as soon as his words were spoken, they attracted the attention of the directors: "And gentlemen, I think that Mr. McKennie's departure is actually a good opportunity for us to make some money from Mr. Fernandez."

Why?

Because we all know the gap between the level of the Chinese people in aero engines and ours, and also know that a successful aero engine is the result of years of hard work by many departments and countless designers and engineers......

Hehe......

Reality will make them realize what a serious mistake they have made. ”

"Hehe......"

Not only Culph Robbins, but the other directors in the room also brightened their eyes and laughed heartily: Sir was right, and if this was the case, who else could Fernandez Chan turn to for help?

It can only be our Rolls-Royce!

Compared to the loss of a Collins McKennie, this business is done!

"Alright then," one of the directors finally spoke, "and while I am still unhappy with Collins McKennie's departure, I respect Mr. Collins McKenney's personal career plan and wish him all the best in his new role, God bless him!"

With the first opening, the next step is naturally logical.

It was only at this time that Ralph Robbins finally breathed a sigh of relief: it was done!
