When Qin Yi and others were drinking wine and discussing how to divide the huge cake of private anti-gravity aircraft.
Far away on the other side of the ocean, in Chicago, USA, at the headquarters building of Boeing Company, Perdita silently packed up his things and prepared to leave the place where he had worked all his life.
He was once deeply proud of being a Boeing man. When he graduated from college, he joined Boeing as an aerodynamics engineer and worked his way up to the top management of Boeing.
He has been working at Boeing for more than thirty years and has devoted almost all of his life to this great company. He once thought that he could work here until retirement, because he only had a few years left.
About to retire.
But now, he was fired. Even though he received a large amount of compensation, and even though he had already earned enough capital to live a carefree life in the future, he still found it hard to accept being fired.
The company needs a scapegoat!
There was no harvest at the Zhuhai Air Show, which also caused the company to suffer a wave of cancellations. In addition, the company also found out that Perdita sold all of his Boeing shares.
So he became the scapegoat and the one who was sacrificed. Packing up and leaving was a more honorable ending.
Of course, Perdita knew that even if she didn't leave, the company wouldn't be able to operate for long.
Now Boeing's factories have basically stopped working. Whether it's the civil aviation market or the military aircraft factory, basically they have stopped working. There are no orders. The more they produce, the more they lose.
The shutdown may be temporary, but it may also be permanent.
At the Zhuhai Air Show, Galaxy Aerospace Industry Group launched the 'Datang' anti-gravity spacecraft for use in the civil aviation field. Its extremely large transportation volume and terrifying transportation capacity of transporting more than 8,000 people at a time easily surpassed Boeing and Airbus.
Into the bottomless abyss of darkness.
Until now, Boeing has not received any orders for any more aircraft. Hundreds of original orders have been canceled one after another. Even many domestic airlines have canceled their orders and turned to Galaxy Aerospace Industry Group.
's embrace.
Everyone understands that with the 'Datang' anti-gravity spacecraft, if we continue to use traditional aircraft to operate the aviation industry, we will definitely face a situation of losing money and going bankrupt.
So even though they often want to support their own people, they also know that supporting their own people means that the risk of their own bankruptcy is greater. Compared with the life and death of their own companies, the life and death of Boeing is irrelevant.
After packing her things, Perdita walked out of her office and looked at the office area outside. It was also very deserted, and everyone had nothing to do.
I still remember that in the past, this place was very busy, with endless orders, endless phone calls, emails, faxes, etc. from all over the world.
But now, everyone has nothing to do, and no one knows what to do. Some people are playing computer games, some are playing on their mobile phones, and some are reading books.
In the past, Perdita would not have tolerated this phenomenon, and other managers would not have tolerated it either. The company did not pay you to hire you here to have fun.
But now, no one cares about these things because everyone has nothing to do. Even the management is worried about whether they will be the next batch of layoffs.
Perdita was not in a hurry to leave. He wanted to walk around the company. After all, he had worked here for more than thirty years and was very affectionate to every plant and plant here.
The company is not in a hurry to urge him to leave. There is still some human touch. In fact, Perdita's work performance has always been very good and his performance is remarkable.
Whether he was an engineer before or gradually became a manager, Perdita has always been an outstanding employee of Boeing. Otherwise, he would not have become the company's top management. He receives a lot of stock incentives every year.
Perdita faced everyone with a smile. Since he was only a few years away from retirement, he considered it an early retirement. After leaving here, he was not going to find another job.
He has earned enough money to enjoy his old age comfortably and even live a very prosperous life.
He has even planned his future retirement life, planning to buy a private anti-gravity aircraft and travel around the world. There are many, many places he would like to see and walk around.
"Damn Chinese people, damn Galaxy Aerospace Industry Group~"
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but curse in his heart.
I walked around the company headquarters. It was deserted and miserable. People in the office area were very idle, and some departments had simply gone on vacation.
There is nothing for the employees to do when they come here, so it is better to let everyone go back and keep out of sight.
After driving his car, Perdita arrived at the aircraft manufacturing factory. The factory area was also very deserted. The engineers and workers had all gone home for the holidays.
Arriving at the factory, Perdita looked at the frames of huge airplanes. Many of them were almost completed, but now they were parked coldly.
Perdita still remembers the scene he saw when he came here for inspection a few months ago. At that time, the factory was very lively.
There are a large number of engineers and scientists beside every aircraft. Everyone is chewing gum and listening to popular rap. They are enjoying their work in the best condition. At the same time, they occasionally complain that the working hours are too long.
, there aren’t many holidays or anything like that.
Perdita also still remembers when he first entered the company. At that time, he also started as an engineer, and the first thing he did was to participate in the manufacturing of Boeing 747.
Thinking of the Boeing 747, Perdita's eyes quickly focused on a large aircraft. This aircraft was much larger than the other aircraft next to it. It was the largest aircraft in the entire factory and was extremely huge.
When he came to this aircraft, Perdita couldn't help but burst into tears. This aircraft, designed in the late 1960s, was as old as him.
"Last time in the 1960s, Chinese people were still playing in the mud~"
Perdita couldn't help but think about it. He had traveled to China in the 1990s when he was young. In his impression, China at that time was very poor.
Not to mention such a high-end industry and field as building airplanes, China is far from capable of building cars. He has never even regarded the Chinese as his potential rivals before.
In the eyes of Boeing people, only Airbus in Europe can barely compete with itself. As for Polar Bear, Embraer, etc., they are still worthy of attention.
Chinese?
Well, the clothes, shoes, etc. they produce are of good quality and cheap. We are indeed increasingly inseparable from the Chinese in life, but in the field of aircraft, we have never really taken the Chinese in our eyes.
But now, only a few years have passed, everything happened too fast and too suddenly.
It's so fast that people feel surprised and incredible.
In the blink of an eye, the Chinese people who once didn't even bother to look at it have mastered anti-gravity technology, developed rapidly in the aerospace field, and have been able to conduct large-scale mining on the moon.
From that time on.
Perdita began to have trouble sleeping. He was always worried about the Chinese entering the civil aviation field and becoming a strong rival of Boeing.
"Perhaps they have never regarded us as competitors~"
I don’t know what happened, but this thought came to Perdita’s mind.
How could those who built spaceships take a look at those who built airplanes? Just like the people who built airplanes in the past would never take a direct look at the Chinese people who made clothes and socks.
"Being born in such an era, I don't know whether I should feel lucky or despair~"
Perdita couldn't help but recall her life.
He was born in the most glorious era of the United States. The 1960s and 1970s were the most glorious times. Americans were number one in the world in all aspects of economy, technology, and military. They were well-deserved number one. They landed on the moon, and finally returned to America.
Disintegrated polar bears.
When he was young, the United States was still the most powerful superpower on the planet, dominating the world and beating anyone who didn't like it. It was extremely glorious.
But in recent years, Perdita can clearly feel its decline.
Especially since this year, with the rapid promotion of the internationalization of Huabi in China, coupled with high technology, the strong growth and explosion in the aviation field has created a huge impact.
The purchasing power of U.S. knives has plummeted. In the past, countries around the world were stockpiling U.S. knives, but now they have begun to reserve Chinese dollars on a large scale and sell off the U.S. knives in their hands.
In the past, as a world currency, the circulation of U.S. dollars far exceeded the demand of their own countries, because countries around the world would reserve large amounts of U.S. dollars as foreign exchange.
Now, countries all over the world are selling off the U.S. dollar, which is rapidly exacerbating the depreciation of the U.S. dollar, and there is even a faint possibility of collapse. The status of the U.S. dollar as a world currency has been greatly shaken.
Uncle Sam's domestic prices are soaring, but there is nothing to be done about it. The dissatisfaction of ordinary people continues to rise, and various demonstrations continue to break out in various cities.
Everyone’s wages have not improved, the currency has depreciated, and prices have soared, which has had a huge impact on American life. Without the U.S. knife to plunder the world’s resources and wealth, everyone suddenly finds that they can no longer be the same as before.
Have a good time.
"If this situation does not change, perhaps the entire country will decline rapidly like our Boeing~"
Perdita looked at everything in front of her and couldn't help but think of this in her mind.
PS: If the U.S. knife were not the world’s currency, life in the United States would definitely not be so easy~
