But Iva Beard, the person involved, was a little confused. He just stood there looking at the people being escorted out, not knowing how to react for a moment.

Especially after meeting Homero Wenger's gaze, he felt even more puzzled.

Fang Lang, who was standing by, did not give him much time to react and continued to walk towards the third floor in the direction he pointed. Seeing this, Iva Beard did not think too much and quickly stood up and followed Fang Lang's footsteps.

In this way, the two of them, escorted by several guards, smoothly arrived at the general manager's office on the third floor.

The area of ​​this office is not small, nearly twenty square meters. It can be seen that Homero Wenger really put a lot of effort in arranging this office.

There was also a set of European-style sofas in front of the large desk. Fang Lang found a seat and sat down without any concern, glancing at Iva Beard who was standing beside him, somewhat at a loss.

He smiled and said:

"See what drinks are available here, black tea is best."

Iva Beard was obviously confused by today's situation and was feeling very nervous at the moment, but he was not a stupid man and vaguely guessed that this might be an opportunity for him.

...

...

After hearing Fang Lang's instructions, he immediately began to search in the tea cabinet on the wall near the door of the office. After searching for a long time, he did not find any tea leaves. He could only turn to Fang Lang and said:

"Boss, we don't have tea here, only coffee. Is that ok?"

Hearing this, Fang Lang frowned and said unhappily:

“A guy who doesn’t even drink tea is really not trustworthy.

Never mind, just make a cup of coffee! Less sugar. ”

Iva Beard nodded quickly and started to make coffee for Fang Lang. At the same time, Fang Lang's words were deeply imprinted in his mind. What did he mean by a guy who doesn't even drink tea is not trustworthy? He was obviously referring to Homero Wenger.

Considering that the other party was taken away, it was clear that the general manager of the company was going to be replaced. I just didn't know what happened and why there was such a big change suddenly.

But he had secretly made up his mind that he would learn to drink tea in the future, otherwise he might not be able to gain the trust of his boss.

Fang Lang didn't care about Iva Beard's psychological activities. He leaned back on the sofa and thought carefully about his plan to swallow Porsche to see if there were any loopholes.

It was not until Iva Beard brought the coffee to Fang Lang that Fang Lang raised his eyes to look at Iva Beard, who looked cautious.

He waved his hand nonchalantly, motioning the other person to sit down. Seeing that the other person had only made a cup of coffee for him, but he himself had nothing, he could not help but say:

"Why don't you make yourself a cup of coffee."

Iva Beard was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know if he was still thinking that the boss only trusted people who drank tea, and blurted out:

"I like tea, not coffee."

Fang Lang did not expect that the other party would give such an answer. He looked at this guy who looked more like a worker than a manager with a meaningful look.

He patted the sofa beside him and said:

"Sit down and talk! I heard that you were the workshop director of the company. Why were you transferred to be a warehouse keeper?"

Iva Beard didn't dare to be arrogant. He was still a little nervous! Too many things had happened at this moment today, and he was still a little overwhelmed.

Fang Lang asked him to sit down, but he only dared to sit halfway on the sofa. But as soon as he sat down, he didn't expect Fang Lang's first question to catch him off guard.

"Ah! This..."

He was a little hesitant, wondering whether it was appropriate to confess this to his boss and whether it would give the impression that he was telling tales.

Fang Lang was not in a hurry when he saw this. He just picked up the coffee and put it to his lips and took a sip, as if he was savoring the flavor of the coffee.

After some psychological struggle, Iva Beard remembered the white man who was shot down directly, and decided to tell the truth without hiding anything.

"Because I think the company's production line is fully capable of mass-producing cars, and the production capacity should not be left idle. I approached Mr. Wenger for coordination many times, but he refused.

Maybe my communication style was not appropriate and it made Mr. Wenger very annoyed, so…”

"Oh! Is that all?"

Fang Lang would not believe that things would be so simple. If it were so simple, Fang Lang would start to doubt whether this was a double act between the two.

Hearing Fang Lang's question, Iva Beard hesitated, as if he didn't know whether it was appropriate to say the next words. But when he saw Fang Lang looking at him, he could only grit his teeth and continue:

"When Wenger first joined Porsche, he worked under me. But he was not serious about his work and often made mistakes, so I would often criticize him.

Later, after he married Mr. Porsche's niece and was transferred from the production department to the management department, he would often create some obstacles for my work.

This caused our relationship to be very bad for a while. Later, it was said that after Mr. Porsche had a private talk with him, he gradually let me go. After arriving in Brazil, he was the deputy general manager and I was still the workshop director.

Our relationship once again reached a freezing point, but with the general manager around, we were still able to maintain it. But after the general manager left, I was directly transferred to the warehouse as a warehouse keeper. "

Although Iva Beard was very tactful on some issues, Fang Lang still clearly understood what he wanted to express. This made him laugh.

No wonder when I was testing Homero Wenger and said someone told me that he was the one who squeezed out the original general manager, the other party's first reaction was to say that Iva Beard had falsely accused him.

It seems that the relationship between the two has been bad for a long time! If what Iva Beard said is true, it can only mean that Mr. Homero Wenger is a real villain who relied on nepotism to get to the top.

Of course, Fang Lang would not just listen to one side and believe what Iva Beard said directly. He would definitely need to find out from other sources whether what the other party said was true.

But intuitively, Fang Lang felt that what Iva Beard said should be true.

After all, if Homero Wenger did not have this kind of nepotism with Mr. Porsche, he would not have served the Porsche family so wholeheartedly.

He even thought of tricking himself into bailing out Mr. Porsche and letting him come to Porsche Brazil to take charge of the situation.

At the same time, the fact that he was able to gain Mr. Porsche's trust and be responsible for keeping the research data on the Tiger tank also shows that he was one of Mr. Porsche's own in his mind.

As for Mr. Wenger deliberately targeting Ivar Beard, it was probably revenge for the other party's frequent criticism of him when he first joined the company.

At least this explanation seems more reasonable to Fang Lang.

Fang Lang smiled and shook his head and continued to ask:

"Your former subordinate has become the general manager of the company, but you are still the workshop director. Don't you feel dissatisfied?"

Perhaps he felt that he had said everything he should and shouldn't say, and there was nothing else to hide, so Iva Beard stopped struggling and answered Fang Lang's question very frankly:

“It’s impossible to say that there is no dissatisfaction. After all, the other party did not get to his current position because of his personal ability.

But I am just an employee of the company, while the other party has become a family member of the company's boss. This difference in status is something I cannot compare with.

Even if you feel dissatisfied, you can only accept it silently. "

After taking a sip of the coffee cup, Fang Lang looked at Iva Beard, who seemed to be in a desperate mood, and asked with a bit of amusement:

"I heard that your Porsche factory also developed the Tiger tank during the war. Do you know about this?"

Iva Beard nodded without hesitation:

“Yes, the Tiger tank was originally developed by Mr. Porsche, but later the government did not completely adopt our design for production, but combined it with Rheinmetall’s design.

It is said that Mr. Porsche has not given up the original plan and has been conducting relevant research.

I don’t know the details, but our factory was involved in the manufacture of Tiger tanks during the war.”

Fang Lang was very satisfied with Iva Beard's attitude. It was obvious that this guy was very honest now.

"Then do you know the situation of the company's R&D department?"

Iva Beard touched the back of his head, thought for a moment, and then said:

"I think I know them better! After all, I have been working in the company for nearly ten years. Our production department needs to frequently connect with the R&D department, and I have dealt with everyone in the R&D department."

"Then do you think our current R&D department has the ability to independently develop new models?"

Fang Lang looked at Iva Beard with some anticipation.

“Of course, the R&D department of our Porsche Brazil plant now concentrates almost all the best of Porsche.

These people all have extensive experience in automobile design. The Beetle cars we produce now and the bucket-type off-road vehicles equipped by the German army are all independently developed by our company's R&D department.

Many of them also participated in the development of the Tiger tank.

They are fully capable of developing new models.”

"But I heard that Mr. Porsche is the core of the company's research and development?

All the company's vehicle development work was completed under the leadership of Mr. Porsche. Is that right?"

This time Iva Beard did not answer directly. Instead, he looked up at Fang Lang and then slowly said:

“It can also be said that the company’s product development work was indeed completed under the leadership of Mr. Porsche.

But this does not mean that the company's research and development will not work without Mr. Porsche.

Vehicle development is not the work of one person, but the result of the joint efforts of a team.

Even more, boss, you only need to put forward your requirements for the new model, list the detailed performance indicators, and then designate one of them as the chief designer to be responsible for the overall coordination work, and the R&D department can start to operate automatically. "

This situation was somewhat beyond Fang Lang's expectations, but when he thought about it, he felt it was very normal. The design of a car does require genius inspiration, but ultimately a car is a systematic project.

It is impossible that the company will be completely paralyzed if one of them is missing. The most likely possibility is the lack of sufficient innovation ability, but it does not mean that a qualified new car model cannot be designed.

After realizing this, Fang Lang's originally worried mood gradually calmed down.

Coming from the future, I have a lot of future car model concepts in my mind, any one of which is enough to develop several very successful new models.

Now, as long as he can retain these people in the company, the company will be able to develop rapidly even if it loses the support from Porsche in Germany.

What's more, he could obtain the production license for the Beetle through negotiations with Porsche. Given the success of the Beetle in the market, it would be too easy to support a car company.

More importantly, it was at this time that Fang Lang unexpectedly discovered that the three car brands he introduced in Brazil were actually future luxury models.

However, none of them is a popular brand, which is obviously an unreasonable industrial structure. Several companies under the group even have to face direct competition and cannot form differentiation at all.

The Beetle produced by Porsche is a very cheap civilian car. After he has full control over the factory, he will simply let it follow the Volkswagen route. Perhaps in the future this company will be the most profitable car company under his control.
