There are many things to do in forming a brand new aviation company. Although Zhou Yuanhang accompanied the boss to the countryside, the two secretaries with phones around him had no time to spare. Every half an hour, he would send Zhou Yuanhang a note full of handwriting.

With the signing of the land lease agreement with Hans Hill, the land acquisition work of COMAC's new factory was completely over. Seeing Zhou Yuanhang who was busy flying, Liang Yuan was embarrassed to continue to take up his time to stroll with him, so he simply asked the Mercedes-Benz bus to send him back to MBB Pier.

After throwing the Mercedes-Benz bus to Zhou Yuanhang for use, Liang Yuan, who was idle, decided to take the Rainbow Warrior yacht to sea for a walk.

The entrance to the Elbe River is less than 150 kilometers away from Hamburg, which is only two hours at the speed of the Rainbow Warriors forty-five knots. In Liang Yuan's memory, the North Sea seafood at the entrance to the Elbe River is particularly fresh. It will never take more than 6 hours from salvaging out the water to serving it onto the dining table.

After driving out along the Elbe River for an hour, Liang Yuan began to regret the decision he had just made.

Liang Yuan ate and drank in Coxport in his previous life. It was the time difference between the Republic's Olympic torch in Europe, which was about twenty years similar to the current time difference. Although the Elbe River, which was a golden waterway at that time, was not clear at the bottom, it was definitely two completely different things from the gray-black body of water that was foaming in front of Liang Yuan.

After entering the lower reaches of Hamburg, the Elbe River was famous for its heavy installation, chemical industry and metallurgy, the water quality fell rapidly. If you only look at the water body and not the scenery along the way, it is somewhat similar to the Huai River before the republic's governance. Generally speaking, this kind of inferior five water quality is basically extinct of fish and shrimp. It seems that the matter of planning to go to Cox Port to eat seafood was a stupid decision. Liang Yuan sighed with a wry smile.

Liang Yuan didn't know that after the reunification of the two Germanys, in order to control the increasingly serious pollution problem of the Elbe River, the German government invested more than 50 billion marks for more than ten consecutive years to restore the ecological environment of the Elbe River to what Liang Yuan saw in 2008.

It was not yet noon, and Liang Yuan didn't want to go back to the hotel to do nothing and stare blankly or sleep. Although he couldn't eat seafood, looking at the original German village houses on both sides of the Elbe River, and large cargo ships with different shapes on the main channel of the Elbe River are also a good tourist trip.

Liang Yuan spent six hours on this sightseeing trip to the Ebe River. It was already afternoon when he returned to the trek of Hamburg. He came out of the water passenger center dock in Hamburg. Liang Yuan turned to Friedrich Street and had not walked out twenty meters, and a Mercedes-Benz bus stopped slowly beside Liang Yuan.

"It's great. I thought the eldest young master would not be able to come back at night." Zhou Yuanhang poked his head out of the car.

"I originally planned to exercise and walk back to the hotel." Liang Yuan said while jumping into the bus.

"When I left, didn't Haohetiv say that he wanted to confirm the plan of the factory terminal? Why did Lao Zhou come back so soon?"

When Liang Yuan left the construction site of COMAC's new factory, engineering contractor Hao Hetif was pulling Zhou Yuanhang to study the specifications and cost of COMAC's new terminal.

"Young Master, I received a call from the United States. Boeing just announced a large-scale layoff plan half an hour ago. Starting from June 10, Boeing's Seattle factory will lay off 6,800 positions." Zhou Yuanhang said excitedly.

Hamburg has a time difference of about seven or eight hours between Seattle, and this point is exactly when Boeing starts working the new day.

Wow, Liang Yuan slapped the car window hard. This news was so wonderful for the newly established CMB Aerospace.

"Do you contact General Li Guowei?" Liang Yuan asked.

Zhou Yuanhang nodded and said, "I've contacted him. Li Guowei has decided to leave General Motors."

"Okay, that's great. My uncle and Lao Sun should have come back from the city hall. Later, Lao Zhou, you and Lao Sun explain this to my uncle. My uncle has been worried that he is the commander-in-law for a long time." Liang Yuan said with a smile.

Zhou Yuanhang nodded.

The trestle on Hamburg is very close to the Hamburg Hotel where Liang Yuan lives. The bus only turns one corner, and the extremely eye-catching glass hall of the Hamburg Hotel appears in front of the windshield.

Liang Yuan and Zhou Yuanhang took the elevator to the suite that Liang Yuan opened on the seventh floor of the hotel. When they opened the door, they saw that Liang Haiping and Sun Zhuolin had indeed come back first. They were talking about the various things about the Hamburg Municipal Government on the sofa.

"Xiaoyuan, are you in trouble with the last piece of land acquisition? Why did you come back so late?" Liang Haiping looked at his watch and asked curiously.

"I took a boat to Port Cox." Liang Yuan replied.

"Didn't my uncle always care about where COMAC should go to find employees? Today, news happened to be released from the United States, and Lao Zhou agreed."

When Liang Haiping heard Liang Yuan mention this, he threw the matter of someone going to Cox Port aside, and his expression turned up. He slowly sat up straight.

Li Guowei, mentioned by Zhou Yuanhang and Liang Yuan, is a Chinese American and works in the General Electric Aviation Engine Department. He was responsible for the sales of General Aviation Engines in North America and Taiwan in his early years. Later, he was promoted to general manager of China due to his outstanding performance.

Since Zhou Yuanhang was responsible for the development of Gulfstream passenger aircraft, he had a relationship with Li Guowei, who was responsible for the sale of aircraft engines at that time, the two were good friends.

Zhou Yuanhang's choice to join Yuanjia has caused a great response among the Chinese engineers in the American aviation industry. Some people wished him, some disdained him, and some people spoke ill of him. Li Guowei admired Zhou Yuanhang's choice very much, and even said to Zhou Yuanhang that if he had not become a US citizen, he might have let go of everything and returned to China to start a business like Zhou Yuanhang.

After February of the lunar year, Li Guowei also visited Zhou Yuanhang on behalf of General Electric, laying the foundation for the power system of the CM75 passenger aircraft that was still on the drawings.

In March, something destined to be recorded in the history of Chinese hard-working survival and struggle in the United States happened under the circumstances that no one expected.

Things started with Boeing, the largest client in the GE Engine division.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Boeing, which was already invincible in the world, entered a state of extreme self-inflation. The entire Boeing level was strict and the system was rigid. Most management and technicians were extremely arrogant. Even the Pentagon in the United States believed that Boeing was rampant in bureaucracy, which was more serious than any other company.

Since Boeing is the largest customer of General Aviation Engines, the rising Airbus has always been ambiguous about General Motors' procurement. Considering the interests of General Motors, Li Guowei is certainly unwilling to Boeing to defeat Airbus.

In Li Guowei's eyes, Boeing's sales staff are domineering and treating customers indifferently and domineeringly. They take it for granted that there is absolutely no better choice on this planet except Boeing's aircraft.

In order to maintain the company's largest customer, Li Guowei informally suggested Boeing to change some of its own irregular business operations. Li Guowei's suggestions are based on the policies that General Motors has implemented for a long time and have significant results. In the eyes of all General Motors employees, these suggestions are reasonable but extremely constructive.

To anyone's surprise, Boeing executives interpreted Li Guowei's actions as secretly providing support for Airbus, and demanded that General Motors must fire Li Guowei to face the situation.

After the incident was exposed, everyone except Boeing believed that Li Guowei's original intention was just to help Boeing get rid of bureaucratic habits, and had nothing to do with Boeing's interpretation of eight poles that could not be affected by Boeing's interpretation of the benefits to Airbus.

After more than a month of tug-of-war and verbal battles, although General Electric rejected Boeing's request to fire Li Guowei, under Boeing's pressure, General Electric still removed Li Guowei from his position as general manager of China for no reason and demoted him to Cincinnati, USA as office manager.

General Electric's handling of Li Guowei caused an uproar in the American aviation industry and the Chinese circle. Countless people were unfair and believed that General Electric had made a stupid decision. In particular, Boeing's emphasis on the unreliability of Chinese people in the official document to General Electric has aroused the anger of Chinese Americans.

Boeing's layoffs happened in this context.
