Buying the company is just the first step.
The next step is to naturally call back the company's employees - scientific research and technical staff, and let them continue to work, of course, in a research factory.
In the final analysis, it is to support these people. After all, the technology held by Alfa Romeo is dead, and the technical staff is the foundation. Only with technical staff can further research be carried out.
For these technicians, they are undoubtedly lucky. After all, being able to get a job to make a living in a ruin is enviable in itself.
Besides, their wages are not lira like waste paper.
"Real things!"
Standing in the company's meeting room, looking at these company engineers and technicians in shabby suits, George said directly.
"All engineers and technical assistants, based on the previous salary level, will receive 10 kilograms of sugar and three packs of Camel cigarettes. For each promotion, one kilogram of sugar and one pack of cigarettes will be added."
Before George finished speaking, the people in the conference room were excited. Sugar and Camel cigarettes may seem insignificant, but they can be exchanged for flour, olive oil, meat and everything else they need to keep their families from starvation.
A young assistant asked in stuttering English.
"Sir, can we, can we receive in kind? I mean, technicians."
"All people on the employment list can receive in-kind salary during special periods..."
As the new boss, George was very generous.
In Naples at this time, the most valuable thing was not the lira, which was like waste paper, nor the US dollar, but the in-kind. Sugar and cigarettes were the most popular. Such high salaries were enough to make anyone crazy.
This is the post-war world. If Spam luncheon meat was not a military supply, George even wanted to give them a few cans of canned food. After all, as a boss, you should treat talents well, especially these high-tech talents.
It's just a few cans of canned food.
However, such generous treatment is not without price. For example, each of them must sign a ten-year long-term employment contract with the company. If they want to resign, they need to compensate the company's losses.
For this clause, almost no one will refuse, and they even call the boss righteous.
There is no way. Workers these days, especially those in Europe, are trained by capitalists.
Long-term employment?
Who is so conscientious! Isn't it all squeezed, and when you find that there is no use value, you kick it away.
Now the new boss is really a conscientious capitalist.
When signing all the employees, everyone thanked God from the bottom of their hearts, thanking God for letting them meet such a generous and conscientious boss in this special period.
In fact, what they didn't know was that George signed a long-term employment contract with them because he was afraid that they would run away!
After all, people have long legs.
These people are all first-class engine engineers of this era. They can work for Alfa Romeo or other companies. Not to mention ten years, Italy will almost get out of the post-war shadow in five or six years and enter a period of rapid development. At that time, the only thing that can restrain them and prevent them from returning to Italy is a contract.
"Boss, I noticed that there is an item in our contract whether to accept overseas dispatch. Does this mean that we may work abroad in the future?"
Carpini, holding the contract, walked up to the boss and asked.
"Yes, my company is a multinational company with business in the United States, the United Kingdom and Asia. The future business focus is in Asia, so my employees must be able to accept overseas dispatch. Of course, the salary will definitely not disappoint everyone at that time."
George smiled kindly at the aviation engineer in front of him.
"What? Are there any difficulties?"
"Boss, I'm afraid I need to think about it. I can't make a decision immediately. After all, I have a family who have never left Italy."
"Of course,"
For Carpini, George is determined to win him over. He is one of the few jet engine experts in the company.
Then George asked him with concern if he needed any help. It's the simplest business method to win people's hearts.
"I will leave Naples in the next two days. Mr. Mario will be responsible for managing the company. I hope that you can continue to preside over the development of jet engines. Well, I think it is the future. The company's strength will be tilted in this direction as much as possible. What do you think?"
"Boss, I think so too..."
When talking about professional aspects, Carpini seemed a little excited. He explained the advantages of jet engines with great interest. When he spoke, George was more of a listener. Coming from the 21st century, he certainly knew that the future was the era of jet engines.
It was while listening to the explanation that the light screen flashed.
"You can learn the skill "Aero Engine Engineering". Do you want to learn it?"
George quickly chose yes, and the knowledge of the aero engine engineering skill quickly flooded into his mind.
He, who originally had little knowledge of aero engines, immediately turned into an expert.
The knowledge of "Aero Engine Engineering" covers the principles, design, manufacturing, and testing of aero engines. Although the level 1 skill only allows George to understand the general principles of aero engines, various design specifications, and manufacturing specifications, although it sounds unimportant, in this era when jet aero engines are just starting, this knowledge is undoubtedly ahead of the times.
When Carpini talked about jet engines again, George immediately showed his professional advantages. Let Carpini just think that there is an outstanding aerospace engineer in front of him.
There is no way, the system dad is so awesome.
In the end, Carpini still cares about not having been abroad, but he can't wait to start new research with George, an expert who has extremely profound research on jet engines. After learning that the factory will be built in Asia in the future, Carpini thought for a moment and asked.
"You mean... we are going to Asia in the future?"
"Is there a problem?"
"No problem, boss!"
Sometimes, scholars are so simple that the problems they had in the past are no longer problems when facing academic masters.
While Carpini went to the personnel department to handle the contract, George stood up and walked to the window to stare at the dark city outside the window. Although there was no blackout, the war destroyed the power plant and substation, and made the whole Naples regress to the 19th century.
At this time, the brokers were still searching for the wealth in their eyes, but they didn't know what the real wealth was... In fact, it was these people, these engineers and the knowledge in their heads...
Looking at the dark city, George's mouth corners rose again.
"It's really a treasure everywhere."
While talking to himself, George understood that with the arrival of these talents, the golden age of North Borneo was destined to come...
