The moment he saw Liszt, Zhuang Jianye was really surprised. He never expected to see this "old friend" who made people love and hate him at this time and in this place.
It¡¯s not just Zhuang Jianye, Liszt is also like this.
Since H Company¡¯s Bullet A drone was defeated by Action Company¡¯s Zeus-3 drone system, H Company has inevitably slid into the abyss of bankruptcy.
Fortunately, Lindemann had a backup plan at the time and sold the company to General Motors in a stock exchange, becoming part of the newly established Atomic Aeronautical Systems.
Lister also joined General Motors. However, as a veteran of Company H, although Lister¡¯s position and salary were enviable, he did not have any real power in his hands. There was no way for General Company to digest Company H. It is necessary to marginalize the previous core backbone.
This is a normal operation in any company, and Liszt has nothing to say. As long as he can get a salary and a decent position, he really wants to find a wife, have a few children, and live a peaceful life in a few years.
However, Lister wanted stability. Lindemann, who sold himself to General Motors, didn't know whether it was due to the onset of Alzheimer's disease or the fact that he had been so ambitious for so many years that he finally couldn't suppress it and wanted to take a chance. He actually contacted Boeing, Northrop and Lockheed in private. The aviation giant is preparing to take back Atomic Aeronautical Systems, a subsidiary of General Motors.
If this had been done a few years ago, when Lindemann was in good shape, he might have been able to tear off a big piece of flesh from GM. The problem was that at this time, Lindemann was irritable and impulsive, and his head was already like a rusty machine. , sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn¡¯t work. In this state, how can it be possible to compete with General Motors, which is full of talents.
The matter soon came to light, and aviation giants such as Boeing immediately sparred with the blame. General Motors, which had been preparing to eliminate the influence of Company H, simply launched a large-scale purge, driving Lindemann out of General Motors and also including others. The lawsuit was filed in federal court, accusing Lindemann of illegal trading, money laundering, intentional injury and even child abuse.
Knowing that he was helpless, Lindemann lost his temper, found a limited-edition Kirk pistol that had been treasured for more than ten years, and committed suicide by swallowing the gun in a lonely villa, ending his seventy-six-year career. life.
However, Lindemann's death only caused GM to withdraw the lawsuit against him. The purge against Company H did not stop. Lister, as the CEO of Company H and the subordinate whom Lindemann relied on most, was naturally the key target of the purge. Less than half a year after joining GM, Lister, who was preparing to live a stable life, became unemployed.
If this happened in the past, the unemployed Liszt would not have to worry about finding a new job. After all, he was the pioneer who made drones the number one in the world. His dazzling resume could blind the HR staff of large companies.
But Lindemann's tricks before his death made the American business community feel that the people in Company H are a bunch of lunatics. No matter how capable they are, no one is willing to work with lunatics, so Li Si specifically said to find a CEO position. Well, even if you apply for an ordinary business manager job, you will be politely asked out.
Faced with obstacles at every turn, Liszt's savings were quickly depleted. Sadly, he was kicked out by his landlord because he couldn't pay the rent. Therefore, the former CEO of Company H brought drones into a new era of development. Liszt became a homeless man wandering the streets.
¡°In the end, it was my sister who found me and introduced me to Mr. Esther Foss, the sales director of McDonnell Douglas through her fianc¨¦, and became his assistant with an annual salary of US$120,000.¡±
US$120,000 was not too much for ordinary Americans in the 1980s, and was enough to live a relatively prosperous middle-class life. However, Lister was once the CEO of Company H. Not only did he have an annual salary of nearly five million, but also Equity dividends at the end of the year, and more importantly, Lister had extremely powerful power at that time.
So in such a comparison, Liszt¡¯s situation is one in heaven and one on earth.
However, Liszt, who briefly talked about his situation in the past two years, did not complain at all. He told his experience without any hesitation, as if everything was someone else's story. But as the saying goes, those who know you are not your friends, it is you. opponent.
Even if Liszt¡¯s performance is dull and his narration of past events is concise, Zhuang Jianye, as an old rival, really knows Liszt very well. If Lindemann is a tiger, then Liszt is a wolf.
As long as you are a wolf, you will eat meat. Obviously, the annual salary of 120,000 US dollars is not enough for this wolf to stuff its teeth.
"What do you want me to do?" After hearing a brief story and feeling the hungry wolf's ambition, Zhuang Jianye had nothing to be subtle about and asked directly.
Liszt was not surprised, let alone stunned.And smiled approvingly: "I like your outspokenness. To be honest, I miss the situation when I was in H company. How about it? Zhuang! Do you want to continue our original cooperation?"
Dances with wolves?
Under the shadow of the light, the corners of Zhuang Jianye's mouth turned up, revealing a knowing smile.
¡¡
"No, absolutely not! Ascendas Airlines? I have never seen the name of this company in the list of international aviation suppliers. Ask them to provide spare parts and maintenance services. I am worried about this dc worth US$226 million¡ª 10 It will be completely scrapped. Who will be responsible then? Mr. Lister, tell me, who will be responsible? Can you afford to pay for it with your small annual salary?"
A few minutes later, Liszt, who had finished his private communication with Zhuang Jianye, returned to Fox and others. After telling the so-called "inquiry" information and some of his suggestions, before Fox could answer, the Mai Engineer Dao shook his head like a rattle.
Although this Mr. Engineer is also very surprised by the remarks of Zhuang Jianye and others about APU and composite materials, what you say and what you do are two different things after all. It is like liking a girl, having a crush on and sleeping with them are definitely two different things. The realm is the same. Who can guarantee that those people at Ascendas Airlines are not bragging?
So the cautious McDonnell Douglas engineers refused without thinking, and even used discriminatory words in their words.
There was nothing on Liszt's face, but in his heart he wanted to grab the McDonnell Douglas engineer's hair and drown him in the toilet. However, his strong self-control allowed Liszt to control his emotions well. He turned a deaf ear to the McDonnell Douglas engineer's words and just remained silent. Waiting for Fox's decision.
Fox waited for the McDonnell Douglas engineer to say he was tired, but remained silent. He rubbed his chin with his hand and walked back and forth under the light for several times before asking uncertainly: "Are you sure the APU they produced will arrive tomorrow afternoon?" ?¡±
After hearing this, Liszt's heart finally dropped, and he responded with a bright smile: "Yes, sir."
