Chapter 468 Hermann Oberth



Fang Lang is not a stingy person. Since the other party is capable and has connections, Fang Lang will certainly not be stingy.

The partner he mentioned here actually means that he promised to give the other party equity incentives. However, the amount of this equity incentive depends on the specific situation. At present, Fangyuan Aircraft Manufacturing Company is still a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fangyuan Group.

However, if the company wants to grow and develop in the future, Fang Lang is prepared to give the Ministry of National Defense a certain amount of shares. Of course, this share requires the Ministry of National Defense to exchange it with equal interests.

Furthermore, Fangyuan Group’s position as the company’s major shareholder must not be shaken.

After all, only in this way can the company obtain more R&D funds and military support from the Ministry of Defense. Even if the government wants to nationalize the company in the future, Fangyuan Group can attract more forces to oppose it.

As for giving stock incentives to outstanding talents who have made significant contributions to the company, it has long been in Fang Lang's plan. Fang Lang will also limit these shares to dividends only and not to resell them, thus binding these talents to the company.

Kurt Tank and Reema Houghton will obviously be among the beneficiaries of this plan in the future.

Ante Bolman didn't expect such a surprise, and said in disbelief:

"Boss, are you serious?"

...

...

Fang Lang smiled slightly, nodded calmly and said:

“Of course, but the company is still in the stage of continuous investment. Once the company can be truly stable and successfully gain a foothold in the aviation industry, I will invest 5% of the company’s shares into the employee equity incentive pool.

This time should not be long. An excellent company manager like you will naturally become a partner of the company."

At this moment, Ante Bolman actually felt an excitement of dying for his friend. As for what Fang Lang said about how long it would take to gain a foothold in the aviation industry, he did not pay attention to it.

Looking at Ante Bolman who was so excited, Fang Lang couldn't help but sigh, this kind of behavior of making big promises is so shameless and effective!

I guess it’s because people nowadays are relatively naive and don’t understand the twists and turns involved, so they fall for it easily! If this happened to the social animals in the future who have become disgusted by the promises made, they would probably curse out loud.

Mr. Ante Polman, the future partner who was fully recognized by Fang Lang, could not help but develop a sense of ownership at this moment. He bowed slightly to Fang Lang with excitement and said with gratitude:

"Thank you, boss! I will definitely not let you down."

Fang Lang picked up the fairness cup, added a cup of tea for the other party, and then slowly said:

"This is all due to your hard work, no need to thank me!

Let's continue to talk about this talent you found who can lead missile research!"

Ant Bolman tapped his teacup, thanked Fang Lang, and said quickly:

"The talent we found was named Hermann Oberth, a German born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In 1941, he participated in the development of the V-2 rocket at the Peenemünde Research Center and developed the A-9 and A-10 multi-stage rocket plans.

Although he did not directly participate in the development of the later A-4 rocket engine, which is the famous V-2 rocket, the A-4 rocket was developed entirely based on his theoretical framework.

In 1943, he was sent to the Elbe River to study solid propellant anti-aircraft rockets, becoming the first person to study anti-aircraft rockets. After the end of the European war, he was imprisoned by the United States for 3 months and was released in August 1945.

Now, I have left the United States and returned to Germany, where I am temporarily idle at home. ”

Following Anter Bolman's explanation, Fang Lang's hand holding the teacup stopped in mid-air. He stared at him in astonishment, listening to Hermann Oberth's resume in disbelief.

Without saying anything else, the title of the best in air defense rockets alone is enough to make Fang Lang recruit the other party at all costs.

Moreover, needless to say, those who are captured and imprisoned by the Americans are definitely top talents.

After Ante Bolman finished speaking, Fang Lang swallowed with some difficulty and said hesitantly:

"Are you sure you can recruit such a person?"

Hearing this, Ante Bolman said without hesitation:

"Boss, if you agree, I will personally fly to Germany tomorrow to meet with Mr. Hermann Oberth. I will recruit this true expert to our company no matter what."

Fang Lang could feel Ante Bolman's determination. Now that he knew there was such a talent, Fang Lang certainly would not let him go. Even if he had to kidnap him, he would definitely get him back. So, he slammed the teacup in his hand onto the tea tray.

He said in a firm tone:

"Okay, in that case, I'll take the trouble for you to make the trip yourself.

Capture this top expert at all costs.

If the other party is willing, we can directly appoint him as the chief engineer of the Missile Research Institute, and we can also seek his opinion on personnel recruitment.

As for the welfare benefits, I also grant you full authority. If you are undecided, you can send a telegram back to the company and I will reply to you as soon as possible. "

Fang Lang agreed to his nomination and his ideas without asking any questions. This trust made Ante Polman very happy and he became more passionate about his work.

"Yes, Boss! Please rest assured that I will defeat him at all costs."

He patted Ante Bolman's arm with great satisfaction, raised the teacup in his hand towards Ante Bolman and said:

"Then I will serve you tea instead of wine. I wish you success!"

The two teacups touched each other lightly, making a crisp "ding" sound. The two drank the tea in the cups in one gulp and laughed at each other.

Fang Lang was happy to have found an excellent missile talent. Although he was not sure whether the other party would come to work in his company, he still had confidence in Ante Bolman.

After all, since the other party was able to pull Kurt Tank and Reema Horton into their own aircraft manufacturing company, which had not yet been established, they must have a way to bring in this rocket research and development talent who had just finished his prison career.

You have to know that this guy was the one who dared to go to Bristol Company to deceive people based on some of his knowledge about variable sweep wings. Now he has such a large entity behind him.

Considering the strength of Fangyuan Group, he believed that the other party would be able to recruit Mr. Hermann Oberth.

What Fang Lang didn't know was that this Mr. Hermann Oberth in history was actually a great figure. He was later hailed as the father of European rockets, one of the founders of modern astronautics, and a space pioneer as famous as Tsiolkovsky and Goddard.

His classic work on rocket propulsion is regarded as the "Bible" of the aerospace field by a whole generation of engineers.

Historically, he was recruited by the United States in 1951 and collaborated with von Braun, known as the father of missiles, to conduct missile and aerospace technology research in the United States.

From 1955 to 1958, he served as a consultant to the U.S. Army's Redstone Arsenal. During this period, he wrote two books, one of which looked forward to the possibility of rocket development within ten years, and the other discussed the possibility of human landing on the moon and returning.

What is truly rare is that he is not only a research talent, but also an academic talent. In other words, as long as this big shot can come to Brazil to work, the school that Fang Lang originally established to train talents for the aircraft manufacturing industry will immediately become a science and engineering college with world-class big shots as teachers.

Of course, Fang Lang doesn’t know all this now. He only knows that those who were able to lead the research and development of anti-aircraft rockets during World War II and were imprisoned by the Americans are definitely top experts.

You can't go wrong if you dig the other party over.

"By the way, since you are going to Germany in person this time, there is one more thing I would like to entrust you with."

Upon hearing this, Ante Bolman, who had just put down his teacup, immediately sat up straight and said:

"Boss, please give me your orders!"

Fang Lang picked up the teapot and continued to make tea. As he did so, he said:

“Today I had a long chat with Mr. Reema Horton. I authorized him to set up a research and development team for civil aircraft. In the future, the main business of our airline will be civil aircraft.

However, what I wanted to study was not the current propeller passenger plane, but the jet passenger plane. After I communicated with him and talked about some of my ideas, he also accepted the task.

So, you have to support his work so that we can occupy a place in the civil aviation market. This is also my plan to enter this industry starting with the modification business.

Your key work in the future will be to fully promote the progress of this project and maintain good relationships with the airlines that entrust our company to carry out modification business.

Once our research projects are successful, you will use them to quickly obtain orders and open up the market.

However, the company obviously does not have enough R&D personnel to carry out research on this project. Therefore, this time when you go to Europe, you must not only recruit talents in missile research.

We also need to recruit talents in the field of civil aviation passenger aircraft research. Don't limit your sights to traditional European powers such as Germany, Britain and France. As long as there are talents in relevant fields, we should not let them go.

This project involves a brand new power research and development task. Currently, the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries may not have conducted relevant research, but as far as I know, the aircraft engine research and development team of Mercedes-Benz in Germany has conducted research in this area.

This is a turbofan engine project code-named DB670. When you go to Germany this time, see if there is any chance to bring the R&D team of this project back directly.

If we cannot find the target, we can directly contact the person in charge of Mercedes-Benz in Germany and ask them to help us in the name of Fangyuan Group. I believe they will give us this face. "

Ant Polman looked serious when he heard this. He had known Fang Lang's plan for a long time. The civil aviation field would definitely be the company's key business segment in the future. He just didn't expect that this day would start so soon.

Moreover, they directly put into operation jet airliners, which was obviously an attempt to overtake others. After understanding all this, he immediately became excited.

You know, the boss just promised him the position of future company partner. Judging from his understanding of the aircraft modification business in recent times, the future civil aviation market will be a huge blue ocean!

If this project is successful, it is hard to imagine how much his shares will be worth in the future.

As a professional in the German aviation field, after hearing the engine code mentioned by Fang, he immediately started to use his memory to search for this model.

Unfortunately, I have no relevant memory. It seems that this was an engine project that was not successful. I don’t know why the boss would like this project.

"Boss, don't worry. Although I haven't heard of this project, I am friends with many people in the Mercedes-Benz aircraft engine project. When I go to Germany and communicate with them, I will soon be able to find out the situation of this project.

As long as these people are still in Germany, I will definitely bring them all back to the company."

I have to say that it was a very wise choice to recruit Ant Polman. It was because of his existence that I was able to build the framework of the aircraft manufacturing company in such a short period of time and achieve results so quickly.
