Chapter 780 Conversations and Thoughts
Li Mo looked at one of the missile experts from the machine factory in southern Ukraine, that is, Paul, a missile dynamics expert selected by four Ukrainian missile experts to meet with Li Mo. Adler.
Paul is about 50 or 60 years old, with gorgeous hair and wrinkles on his face. The most eye-catching thing is not the deep eye socket, but the particularly tall nose bridge.
"Hello, Master Paul, I think you already know who I am." Li Mo shook hands with the other party and said with a smile.
"Do I call you Commander Wei Li or Boss Li? In fact, I personally think the name of the boss is more appropriate. Paul's wrinkled face seemed to squeeze out a little smile and said.
Li Mo was surprised. He thought that this serious old man and expert should be very rigid and conservative, but he didn't expect that the other party would also know funny.
The two sat down. Li Mo asked someone to bring Paul a cup of coffee, and then asked with a smile, "Master Paul, I don't know how many years you have worked in the Southern Machine Factory?"
"Thirty years! I have been in the Southern Machine Factory for 30 years. I started from a small mechanic to this day. It can be said that I have experienced the most glorious and prosperous day of the Southern Machine Factory to the disintegration and transformation of the former Soviet Union. Paul's face suddenly became a little melancholy. He didn't know whether he had worked for 30 years, or he felt helpless about the transformation of the Southern Machine Factory from one of the world's seven major missile factories to a specializing in the production of rockets and other spacecraft that has been forgotten by the world.
Li Mo looked at Paul again in surprise. Is this old man still self-taught? Otherwise, a junior college student will not be a mechanic at the beginning, but how can a mechanic become an expert in missile power?
You should know that thirty years ago, the comrade who was good at purge had long died. After decades of accumulation, the military technology and talents of the former Soviet Union have reached a peak. No matter what it is, once there are more, it will be worthless. Even technical experts, the scientific research strength of the former Soviet Union in the 1970s, The status of a mechanic can be imagined. It is extremely difficult to stand out from the mechanic and grow into an engineer.
From this point, Li Mo confirmed that Paul had real materials and belonged to that kind of power-like figure.
"It seems that Master Paul has a deep affection for the Southern Machine Factory. In this case, why did Master Paul leave the Southern Machine Factory?" Li Mo asked suspiciously. After working in a place for 30 years, it is impossible to say that there is no emotion, especially for those who engage in technology like Paul, who are more emotional than those who engage in administration.
There is a rare trace of embarrassment on Paul's serious face. When he faced Abic and others, he still felt indifferent, but the person in front of him was his boss. In front of a boss with a great status, one of his technicians showed his desire for money, which seemed to be a little inappropriate.
"Boss Li, I have nothing to hide. Although money is one of the reasons, the change of the southern machine factory is also an important reason." Paul's eyes flashed and replied that there was a rare trace of cray color on his face. As long as a little discerning person could see that Paul did not tell the truth, or did not tell the truth.
Li Mo couldn't help thinking of the information just found through the Intelligence Department. The Paul engineer said that the reason was indeed true, but there were some other reasons, which involved some political factors. It can be said that Paul had no choice but to leave the Southern Machine Factory.
"Master Paul, are you a good friend of President Kumach?" Li Mo took a sip of coffee and asked unintentionally.
Paul's face really changed, but then he smiled helplessly and said, "Boss Li really knows this."
"Ha ha, Master Paul, you should know that experts like you are protected and investigated everywhere. If you feel unhappy, I can apologize to you." Li Mo said with a sincere face. If Paul is just an ordinary technical talent, Li Mo won't make such a gesture, but for a self-taught talent from a technician to a top engineer, Li Mo feels that it is necessary to maintain a certain degree of respect.
"Yes, Kumach and I are friends and can lock it. Without him, there is no me today... Forget it. Since you know the relationship between me and Kumach, you must know the reason why I left the Southern Machine Factory. The current Southern Machine Factory... No, it should be called the Southern Design Bureau, long ago. It's not the previous southern machine factory. The disintegration of the former Soviet Union made this factory have no orders, while Ukraine's political axe itself is in a bad situation. It has no ability to fully inherit the 'wealth' left by the former Soviet Union. Now the Southern Design Bureau no longer studies the manufacture of missiles, but is related to solid rocket engines like ours. Of course, the technical talents have no status. Coupled with Kumach's reasons, I was not in a good situation in the design bureau. Later, I was invited to come here with a few friends. Paul's words suddenly increased a lot. It seemed that he knew that it was useless to keep his so-called secret in front of the boss. It's better to choose the important one to say it.
Li Mo's heart was moved. He had been on the side of the Southern Design Bureau for a long time, but he had never had the idea of digging the wall. In his opinion, the Southern Design Bureau is also a big crocodile in today's aerospace industry. His own pond is too small to attract those real talents. However, from Paul's words, he saw a glimmer of hope. Since the Southern Design Bureau has Paul and his three companions, there must be other unsentless technicians.
I didn't catch up with the disintegration of the former Soviet Union. As long as I had the strength, I could catch a lot of big fish by spreading a net. Now the talents of the former Soviet Union have been dug up and killed, and the rest have been separated by Russia and the member states. The best time to dig the wall has long been lost, but from the Southern Design Bureau and Paul's matter. In the middle, Li Mo saw another plan to plunder talents.
"Mr. Paul, are you short of money?" Li Mo didn't say what he thought directly. He also had to discuss it with several of his cronies.
Paul seems to have left the engineer's reservedness and nodded, "Yes, you know, the current society is different from the past. We have persisted for more than ten years, but in the end, we find that our beliefs and aspirations have become farther and farther away. Looking back, we find that our persistence is no longer necessary. I We don't have much material desire, but everyone has a family. We also want to leave a fortune for our descendants before we see God.
The honesty of the other party makes Li Mo more admire him. If he needs money, he needs money. There is nothing to be afraid of. He finds countless excuses to cover up his desires. On the contrary, he is not beautiful and unpleasant.
Li Mo pondered for a while and said, "Money is not a problem. I can ask the finance department to call you immediately, but I also have a small request."
Paul was not surprised by Li Mo's generosity and directness. He nodded and asked, "Boss Li, please say it."
"My request is very simple. Master Paul, if you don't plan to retire after the end of the contract, you should give priority to working in the Star Group." Since the other party has real talent and learning, Li Mo is not going to 'cut up his love'. He wants to find a way to let these real talents continue to work for himself. To put it plainly, as long as you are not dead, or as long as you can still work, you have to serve me.
"This is no problem. We need money for our descendants, and we don't want us to go to God with knowledge." The last sentence is a joke. This is the end of the conversation between the two. Naturally, everyone is happy, and both sides take what they need.
After sending Paul away, Li Mo called Liu Qingyue, briefly told the story of Paul and others, and asked Liu Qingyue to pay the money to several people as soon as possible. Then Li Mo found the expert and Abick and said the thoughts that suddenly came to his mind when he had just talked to Paul.
"Boss, this method is good, but it's a little troublesome." The expert thought for a moment and said.
"Oh? What are the problems? Li Mo asked curiously that he didn't have a complete idea in his mind about this idea, but just a sudden idea.
"First of all, the mouse and Minister Wang have not relaxed the matter of searching for talents this year, but so far, although many talents have been found, there are still not many people who are really willing to work here. It takes a long time, but the results are not great. Secondly, Master Paul is as capable and experienced. There are many talents, but most of them have been searched by political axes and major consortia research institutes of various countries. I'm afraid we don't have the capital to dig the wall. In this way, well-known experts in the field must have attracted the attention of all forces. Even if they are attracted, they will be disturbed and difficult in many aspects if they leave their country. The last question is that our own economic strength may not be able to support such a huge talent recruitment plan. Today, with Master Paul as an example, will the talents we attract in the future also follow their treatment? If you don't give it, it won't work. It's easy to cause misunderstanding and dissatisfaction. This kind of artificial injustice is definitely a huge hidden danger. How much will it cost if we give it? Now as long as our profit source is from the special machine factory, but whether it is an infantry tank or a tank, the current sales are not ideal. If it weren't for the boss and you grab money everywhere, I'm afraid this industrial park wouldn't be able to do it.
Experts have expressed their analysis and opinions on this matter. It can be said that they directly pointed out several key issues. Among them, the first and third points are the most important, and the third point is better. Although the economic burden is great, as long as you have enough technical support and spend a hard time, it will be doubled sooner or later. What you earn, especially some things, can't be measured by money at all. The first point is the most troublesome. Everyone knows the important surname of talents, and it can be said that the top talents have broken away from the definition of 'people', and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a 'strategic resource'.
Compared with those big countries and chaebols, Somalia is too competitive. You are searching for talents, and others are also looking for talents. Moreover, because others have a stronger foundation and a larger and tighter network, the ways and means to find talents and attract talents are also stronger.
