Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 199 Winning Hearts and Minds (Second Update)

"Many people are unwilling to come to Chang'an, otherwise our team would probably have more than 500 people!"

"Plus, there's the nature of our company!"

“Although they can take unpaid leave, many people are still very worried!” Teacher Ma said to Li Song as they walked.

Upon hearing this, Li Song said to Teacher Ma, "Engineer Ma, the more this is the case, the more we must manufacture the airplane!"

"I brought some small gifts this time!"

"This is a small token of my appreciation!"

"People came from bustling Shanghai to the remote Northwest."

"Please thank everyone for me, Mr. Ma!"

Teacher Ma shook his head: "Boss, the wages you're offering are already high enough, double what we used to pay. While I'm partly to blame for these people, it's mostly because the boss is paying them more!"

"Most of the people who came with me are not good at scheming, and if they stay in their original units, they are unlikely to get any good promotions!"

"I was making money at my old job anyway, so I might as well come here to make money."

"However, I heard that McDonnell Douglas is inquiring about our situation from various sources!"

"Some people even came to my family, asking about me!"

"Although I've reported this matter, I'm afraid it won't yield any results!"

"After all, they only came to my house to ask where I was, and didn't do anything else!"

Li Song nodded upon hearing this. He was afraid of people like this, who you clearly knew had ill intentions but had no evidence to prove it.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ma, our company owns all the patented technologies for these two aircraft."

"If someone steals our technology, we'll sue them," Li Song said to reassure Ma Gong.

"In terms of production, I hope that Ma will strictly follow the factory's rules and regulations to separate the technology."

"Apart from Ma Gong, no one else can know the complete process!" Li Song said.

"Yes, I've seen it. The factory's production rules and regulations are indeed much more comprehensive than what we used to have."

"Of course, our technology wasn't as advanced as that of foreign countries before." Ma Gong had to admire the production rules and regulations that Li Song had presented.

In other words, during the aircraft manufacturing process, all manufacturing processes are not completed in one place.

For example, the roughing, finishing, temperature processing, secondary finishing, and secondary temperature processing of a part.

These things are completely separate.

A technician can only master the technology of one aspect.

For example, in the initial processing stage, we can only know the material ratio.

The finishing process only knows its own specific processing stage.

Especially in the temperature process, the temperature process of core components may even be handled by several departments.

This ensures the maximum confidentiality of the materials and processes.

"Even a perfect system needs people to implement it!" Li Song nodded.

These two hundred-plus people were divided into more than a dozen departments, and will be further subdivided in the future.

The technology of researching aircraft.

This is currently just theoretical research, aimed at helping everyone master the subject.

Furthermore, it was stipulated that after get off work hours, it was strictly forbidden to inquire about the technology of other departments.

These people all signed confidentiality agreements when they joined the company.

There is a confidentiality fee each month.

"This is Mr. Li Song, the boss of our BMW aircraft manufacturing company!" Teacher Ma introduced to everyone.

It's great to see you all!

"I am the patent holder for both aircraft."

"He is also the general manager, owner, and investor of BMW Aircraft Manufacturing Company!"

"I brought some small gifts for everyone this time."

Accompanying Li Song this time were Section Chief Zhou and several security guards from outside the factory.

"These are all imported watches!" "They come with proof of purchase from abroad, one for each person."

"Thank you, boss!!" The more than two hundred people who came with Teacher Ma never expected such a reward.

The first person to receive the watch was quite shocked to see that the purchase receipt was worth a whopping six thousand Hong Kong dollars.

Of course, a watch costing six thousand Hong Kong dollars is not the most high-end.

But for most people nowadays, it's already considered high-end enough.

Even though many people have seen the world in Shanghai.

Those who came with Teacher Ma weren't fools either.

BMW, the aircraft manufacturing company, looks rather odd.

Moreover, the factory is privately owned and exclusively owned by foreign capital.

Alternatively, one can take a leave of absence without pay at their original workplace.

These researchers can guarantee they've never heard of such a company before!
These researchers were attracted by the salaries here, which are twice that of those in Shanghai.

Because in the past, doing research meant a fixed salary.

People who come here all have elderly or young family members who need money.

And once we arrived, we discovered it was even more extraordinary.

How could a company who is entirely foreign-owned be allowed inside a military camp?

Moreover, this military camp is not abandoned; all the living facilities inside clearly indicate that people are still living there.

Moreover, although the company's security guards were wearing factory uniforms, they were clearly not ordinary people.

What surprised these people even more was that they thought they were there to study airplanes, but they didn't expect them to be there to learn technology.

The technology we have access to now is far more advanced than the technology we used to have.

Previously, airplanes designed in Shanghai could only carry a maximum of two hundred people with four engines!
Now, two engines can carry more than two hundred people.

The previous flight distance was 5,400 kilometers.

The design parameters for this aircraft are now far more numerous than those.

Because of this aircraft, the two engines consume less fuel.

Moreover, this aircraft has a higher flight ceiling.

This has left many researchers baffled.

What kind of monster is this company?!

Then I saw the boss and it got even stranger – the boss was so young!
However, those who came with Teacher Ma were all practical talents with technical skills.

Here, you can earn a high salary, learn many new technologies, and the boss is so generous.

There's no reason not to work hard!

Li Song handed out watches to each of the technicians.

Although Li Song didn't have much understanding of management or business operations.

But they know how to win people's hearts.

Good things like this should be delivered to the workers personally.

Teacher Ma introduced everyone to each other!

Li Song had never heard of any of these people!

Because there is no record of where this team went afterward in history.

Li Song guessed that this team must have been merged into McDonnell Douglas's assembly plant later.

But later he was tricked by McDonnell Douglas, and not only did he not learn anything, he also wasted his life!

Of course, this is also because the older brother couldn't keep up later on.

Aramco has made some changes to its foreign policy toward the mainland.

Historically, the US also helped the mainland optimize its fighter jets. However, not long after the jets were sent there, the Big Brother (China's largest military) failed, so the US dismantled the optimized components and sent the jets back.

The facts prove one thing: only what you have yourself truly matters.
