Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat

But as the person involved, Ivar Beard was a little confused. Looking at the people being escorted out, they just stood there and didn't know how to react for a while.

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

Fang Lang on the side didn't give him much chance to react, and continued walking to the third floor in the direction he pointed. When Ivar Beard saw this, he didn't think much, and quickly got up and followed Fang Lang's footsteps.<

/p>

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

The area of ​​​​this office is not small, with nearly twenty square meters. It can be seen that Homero Wenger also put a lot of effort into decorating this office.

In front of the large desk, there was also a set of European-style sofas. Fang Lang found a seat to sit down without caring, and glanced at Iva Beard who was standing beside him, a little at a loss.

He smiled and said:

"Let's see what we can drink here, preferably black tea."

Ivar Beard was obviously a little confused by today's situation, and he was in a state of confusion at the moment, but he was not a fool, and he vaguely guessed that this might be an opportunity for him.

After hearing Fang Lang's instructions, he quickly started to search in the tea cabinet on the wall near the door of the office. After searching for a long time, he couldn't find the tea. He could only turn to Fang Lang and said:

"Boss, there is no tea here, only coffee, is that okay?"

Hearing this, Fang Lang frowned and said dissatisfied:

"A guy who doesn't even drink tea is really not worthy of trust.

Forget it, let’s make a cup of coffee! Less sugar.”

Ivar Beard nodded quickly and started to make coffee for Fang Lang. At the same time, he deeply imprinted Fang Lang's words in his mind. What do you mean by a guy who doesn't even drink tea? He is not worthy of trust. He was obviously talking about Homer.

Lo Wenger.

Judging from the situation of the other party being taken away, the company's general manager is obviously going to be replaced. I just don't know what happened and why such a big change happened suddenly.

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

Fang Lang didn't care about Ivar Beard's psychological activities. He leaned on the sofa and carefully thought about whether there were loopholes in his plan to swallow the Porsche.

It wasn't until Ivar Beard brought the coffee to Fang Lang that Fang Lang raised his eyes and glanced at Ivar Beard, who looked cautious in front of him.

He waved his hand carelessly and motioned for the other person to sit down. When he saw that the other person only made himself a cup of coffee, but he had nothing, he couldn't help but said:

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

Ivar Beard was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know if he was still thinking that the boss only trusted tea drinkers, so he blurted out:

"I like drinking tea, not coffee."

Fang Lang didn't expect that the other party would give such an answer, and took a thoughtful look at this guy who looked more like a worker than a manager.

He patted the sofa next to him and said:

"Sit down and chat! I heard that you used to be the company's workshop director. Why were you transferred to be a warehouse keeper?"

Ivar Beard didn't dare to really trust him, and he was still a little anxious in his heart! So many things happened today, and he still can't react.<

/p>

Fang Lang asked him to sit down, but he only dared to sit half-assed on the sofa. But as soon as he sat down, Fang Lang's first question caught him off guard.

"Ah! This"

He was a little hesitant, whether it was appropriate to confess this kind of thing to his boss, or whether it would give the other party the feeling of snitching.

Fang Lang was not in a hurry when he saw this. He just picked up the coffee and took a sip, as if he was savoring the taste of the coffee.

After some psychological struggle, Ivar Beard thought of the strong 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 have approached Mr. Wenger for coordination many times, but he has always rejected it.

Maybe my communication method is not appropriate and makes Mr. Wenger very annoyed, so"

"Oh! Is that all there is?"

Fang Lang would not believe that things would be so simple. If it were so simple, Fang Lang would wonder if this was a double act between the two.

Hearing Fang Lang's question, Iva Beard hesitated a little, as if he didn't know whether the next words were appropriate. But seeing Fang Lang's eyes looking at him, he could only grit his teeth and continue:

"Mr. Wenger worked under me when he first started working at Porsche. But he didn't take things seriously and often made mistakes. At that time, I would often criticize him.

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

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

Our relationship fell to a freezing point again, but with the general manager here, we could barely maintain it. But later, after the general manager resigned, I was directly transferred to the warehouse as a warehouse keeper."

Although Ivar Beard spoke very tactfully on some issues, Fang Lang still clearly understood what he meant. This made him laugh a little.

No wonder when I tested Homero Wenger and said that someone told me that he had squeezed out the original general manager, the other party’s first reaction was that Ivar Beard had falsely accused him.

It seems that the relationship between the two people has been at odds for a long time! If what Ivar Beard said is true, it can only mean that Mr. Homero Wenger is a real bastard who relied on nepotism to rise to the top.

People.

Of course, Fang Lang would not just accept Ivar Beard's words directly. Later, he would definitely have to find out from the side whether what the other party said was true.

But intuitively, Fang Lang felt that Ivar Beard should be telling the truth.

After all, if Homero Wenger had not had such a nepotistic relationship with Mr. Porsche, he would not have served the Porsche family so wholeheartedly.

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

At the same time, he was able to gain the trust of Mr. Porsche and was responsible for keeping the research data on the Tiger tank, which also showed that the other party belonged to Mr. Porsche in his mind.

As for Mr. Wenger, he deliberately targeted Ivar Beard, probably in retaliation for his frequent criticism of his behavior 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 serving as the workshop director. Aren't you dissatisfied?"

Perhaps because he felt that he had said everything that should be said and should not be said, and there was nothing else to hide, Iva Beard was no longer entangled, and admitted Fang Lang's question very frankly:

p>

"It is 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 a company employee, but the other party has become a family member of the company owner. This gap in status is incomparable to me.

Even if you are dissatisfied in your heart, you can only accept it silently."

After picking up the coffee cup and taking a sip, Fang Lang looked at Ivar Beard who seemed to be breaking the jar, and felt a little funny and continued to ask:

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

Ivar Beard nodded without hesitation and said:

"Yes, the Tiger tank was first developed by Mr. Porsche, but later the government did not fully 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.

However, I am not particularly clear about the specific situation, but our factory was indeed involved in the manufacturing of Tiger tanks during the war."

Fang Lang is very satisfied with Ivar Beard's attitude. Obviously this guy is very candid now.

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

Ivar Beard touched the back of his head, thought for a while and then said:

"I should know them quite well! After all, I have been working in the company for nearly ten years, and our production department needs to frequently communicate with the R&D department. 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 expectantly.

"Of course, the R&D department of our Brazilian Porsche factory now concentrates almost all the essence of the Porsche company.

These people all have rich experience in automobile design. The Beetles we currently produce 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 research and 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 R&D?

All the company's model research and development work is completed under the auspices of Mr. Porsche. Is that true?"

This time Ivar Beard did not answer directly, but looked up at Fang Lang, and then slowly said:

"It can also be said that the company's product research and development work was indeed completed under the auspices of Mr. Porsche.

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

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

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

This situation is somewhat beyond Fang Lang's expectation, but after thinking about it, it feels very normal. The design of a car does require genius inspiration, but in the final analysis, a car is a systematic project.

It is impossible to be completely paralyzed without one of them. The most likely problem is the lack of sufficient innovation ability, but it does not mean that a qualified new model cannot be designed.

Fang Lang, who wanted to understand this, was still a little worried, but gradually calmed down.

Coming from a later generation, I have a lot of future car model concepts in my mind, and just a few of them are enough to develop several very successful new models.

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

What's more, he can obtain the Beetle's production authorization through negotiations with Porsche. Judging from the success of the Beetle in the market, it is really easy to support a car company.

More importantly, it was only then that Fang Lang unexpectedly discovered that the three car brands he introduced in Brazil were all future luxury models.

However, none of them is a brand focusing on civilians. This is obviously an unreasonable industrial structure. Several companies under the own group even face direct competition and cannot form differentiation at all.

The Beetle produced by Porsche happens to be a very cheap civilian car. After I fully control the factory, I will simply let it take the Volkswagen route. Maybe in the future this company will be my most profitable car company.

Not necessarily.
