Seeing Fang Lang so expectant, Pollman was also very happy. After all, the person he recommended was recognized by his boss.

"Boss, don't worry, I will contact Dr. Tan Ke tomorrow morning."

"Not tomorrow, do you have their phone number?"

Seeing Portman nod, Fang Lang said without hesitation:

"There's a phone in the guest room. Call him now."

"But boss, aren't we going to start with modifying passenger planes? Wouldn't it be too stressful to recruit so many designers right now?"

Pollman knew Fang Lang's future plans for the aviation company, so he was a little worried that if too many designers were recruited to conduct research at once, it would cause huge financial pressure on the company.

“Don’t worry, I can first provide funds to set up a research laboratory to accommodate these researchers.

We cannot afford to lose these talented researchers.”

...

...

Seeing Fang Lang's firm attitude, Borman could only nod in agreement.

He picked up the phone in the room and dialed the number. Because Pollmann was speaking German, Fang Lang couldn't understand what they were talking about.

At this time, Fang Lang felt very regretful. If he had known that he would need to go to Germany to recruit people one day, he should have learned German first.

However, Fang Lang could tell from Portman's expression and tone that the two were indeed very familiar with each other.

Finally, Portman finished the call and said to Fang Lang, who was looking expectant:

"Boss, Dr. Tan Ke said that he wants to reconsider because people from the Argentine government are also in contact with him."

Fang Lang didn't expect that the Argentine government had actually come to Germany to poach people. This is even more proactive than the Brazilian government!

However, this cannot be blamed on the Brazilian government. After all, Brazil has just experienced a military coup, the domestic situation has not yet been sorted out, and it has no experience in poaching from abroad.

Fang Lang thought for a moment and said to Portman:

"Where is Dr. Tan Ke? If necessary, I can meet with him in person."

"He's in the British-occupied area in Bremen, which is a little freer than ours. However, the boss doesn't need to invite him personally.

I know Dr. Tan Ke very well. If the boss can promise Dr. Tan Ke one thing, I am 80% sure that I can convince Dr. Tan Ke to join your company!"

Pollman obviously knew Dr. Tan Ke very well. After sensing Fang Lang's thoughts, he directly put forward his own opinions.

"Oh! Promise me something, what do you think?"

“Dr. Tank is a talented designer with great ideas, but he also has a very bad shortcoming, which is that he hates people telling him what to do with his work.

While working at Focke-Wulf, he had a very unpleasant experience due to differences of opinion with the former head of the R&D department of Focke-Wulf.

Later, he simply launched a "coup" and took sole control of the design power of the Focke-Wulf company.

Therefore, if we want to recruit Dr. Tan Ke, we just need to promise him and grant him absolute autonomy over the project.

We just need to make clear requirements for the projects we need, and I believe that Dr. Tan Ke will be able to complete them well with his ability.”

After hearing what Portman said, Fang Lang frowned.

It seems that Dr. Tan Ke is a bit unruly!

However, Fang Lang also knows that capable people are often unruly.

Besides, what the other party wants is to design according to their own ideas. It is only the design department that wants to make the decision, not the boss of the company. What is there to worry about?

After thinking for a while, Fang Lang said:

"I can set up a design studio for Dr. Tan Ke alone. He will be the head of the studio and I can give him all the personnel management authority. However, the financial power must be in my hands.

All results obtained must belong to the company.”

"Boss, don't worry! If the management of personnel is completely handed over to Dr. Tan Ke, then I won't have to recruit additional staff for this design studio.

Maybe Dr. Tank can bring the entire Focke-Wulf design department to join this design studio."

To be honest, Fang Lang didn't like the fact that all the people in the laboratory were close confidants of one person.

Such management carries huge risks. If it goes wrong, the entire design studio may quit, leaving only an empty shell.

After thinking for a long time, Fang Lang decided to give Dr. Tan Ke full freedom, but he had to sign a contract with the other party with a huge penalty for breach of contract.

Even if Dr. Tan Ke turns out to be an ungrateful person in the end, he will still have to recover all investment costs through liquidated damages and get some compensation.

However, Fang Lang also knew that Dr. Tan Ke’s biggest risk of default would be returning to Germany for research, but aircraft research in Germany would always be subject to legal restrictions.

At least there will be no chance of lifting the ban during his lifetime.

As for whether he would be poached by the United States, Fang Lang had no way to guarantee it, because the overbearing Americans were unreasonable.

However, if you are poached, you will have to pay liquidated damages.

"Okay, then you can have a good chat with him. As long as he thinks someone is capable, he can be responsible for recruiting them."

Since he had decided to delegate power, Fang Lang no longer hesitated.

Instead, he continued to read Borman's notebook. After turning two pages, he saw a list of engine researchers.

"Do you know any engine researchers?"

Hearing Fang Lang's question, Borman was also a little surprised:

"Yes! I am in charge of engineering management! I need to be involved in the management of all parts procurement and whether the performance indicators are up to standard!

From small aircraft such as tires, bulletproof glass, and key switches to large aircraft such as engines and weapons, I need to be involved in the process!"

Fang Lang really didn't understand this, so he didn't expect that Borman would be responsible for so many things.

"So what kind of engines are your engine researchers researching?"

“There were researchers working on piston engines and jet engines, but those big names were divided up between the United States and the Soviet Union.

Those who stayed are assistant researchers whom I know are capable and have ideas.

Please rest assured, boss, most of the people here are not very famous due to their age and experience.

However, the professional knowledge and research capabilities are very solid.”

Borman was obviously a little worried that Fang Lang would feel that his long list was too much.

Fang Lang smiled and said:

“It doesn’t matter, I’m not afraid of crowds, as long as the material is genuine I welcome it!

But I have to remind you that Brazil's industrial base is still relatively weak. If we design excellent products, we may be limited by manufacturing capabilities and fail to achieve the desired results.

Since I have appointed you as the head of the aircraft manufacturing plant, you must take these factors into consideration.

Take tires for example. Brazil is a world-famous rubber producing country, but we do not have tire processing technology.

Therefore, I hope that when you recruit personnel, you can also include talents from these basic industries.”

Now it was Borman's turn to be confused. Doesn't this mean that the entire aviation industry system would be introduced?

I couldn't help but shout in my heart: "I can't do this!"

Such a huge project is almost an impossible task.

Fortunately, Fang Lang seemed to have heard his inner voice and said:

“However, you don’t have to worry too much. I am currently negotiating with the Stuttgart city government to bring a complete automotive industry system back to Brazil.

The manufacture of many of these parts can be put together with the manufacture of aircraft parts.

Once this matter is finally confirmed, you can see if there is anything you need to add, and we will find a way to introduce it.”

Fang Lang's words made Pollman fall into deep thought, and he soon thought of a question.

"Boss, if we want to manufacture airplanes, there is one thing that cannot be used in the automobile industry.

Whether it is the propeller blades of a propeller aircraft or the blades of a jet engine, very precise machining capabilities are required.

It requires specialized processing machine tools, and I think we need to import these separately.”

Borman's words were like a bolt of lightning, striking Fang Lang's head.

I kept blaming myself in my heart, what a stupid brain I have.

He had completely forgotten about the most important basic industrial machine tool industry.

When Japan received the artillery factory, it was excited to see so many German machine tools. How come it completely forgot about such an important industry after coming to Germany?

"Polman, you are absolutely right. Thank you for your reminder. How could I forget such an important industry?

Do you know if there are any excellent machine tool industry brands in Stuttgart?

It would be best if you could introduce me to them. I want to have a serious discussion with them about cooperation.”

“I know of two very good machine tool manufacturers, TRUMPF and CHIRON.

However, I am not familiar with these companies. If you need, I can help you visit them in person. "

Fang Lang certainly doesn't need Pohlmann to handle this kind of thing. Mayor Jonas is a better candidate.

“No need, you just need to be responsible for setting up the racks of the aircraft factory.

I will ask someone else to take care of the machine tool factory’s affairs.”

After saying that, Fang Lang closed Borman's notebook and handed it to him.

"I have no problem with the personnel. You are in full charge. Come to me if you need any help."

Seeing Fang Lang's actions, Pollman understood Fang Lang's thoughts. This was considered as completely delegating power to him.

Polman was very moved by this.

"Yes, boss. Then I won't disturb your rest. If you need anything, you can always tell me."

Fang Lang stood up and shook hands with Pollman to say goodbye.

After Pollman left, Fang Lang was very excited. He didn't expect that he would gain so much from this trip to Germany.

If we can stand on Germany's shoulders and develop our own aviation industry, we can make a lot of money.

If one day, my company can become a giant like Boeing, then I will have a huge influence in the world.

But at the same time, he was a little worried whether his funds could support his crazy expansion plan.

He immediately called the accompanying financial assistant to his room.

“How much liquidity do we have on hand now?”

"Boss, I just confirmed with the head office this afternoon because we are expanding rapidly recently. We have a TV factory, a radio and TV station, the acquisition of Richfield Oil Exploration Company, the acquisition of Aston Martin, and the construction of an artillery factory..."

Hearing the financial assistant calculating his expenses item by item with him gave Fang Lang a headache.

Directly interrupted:

"Just tell me how much cash flow I can mobilize now."

The assistant flipped back two pages of the notebook in his hand and said:

"If the current immigration scale remains stable, the company can draw on $8 million in liquidity."
