Chapter 504 Hall Mercenary Company

North American Airlines is located in California. The owner Clement was originally a newspaper editor. His main business at the beginning was to participate in the operation of air transportation. However, in 1934, after the implementation of the Air Post Act in the United States, it was announced that the aircraft manufacturing industry could not hold the transportation industry. North American Airlines I can only switch careers to specialize in aircraft manufacturing.

During this period, North American Airlines also manufactured trainer aircraft and transport aircraft, but the operating conditions have not been good, and there is a feeling of immortality.

Until the outbreak of the European War, Britain was short of fighter jets, and the world commissioned production, including North American Airlines, which asked them to produce P40 fighter jets.

However, their designers felt that it would be better to develop a new one than to make P40, which led to the famous P51 fighter jet in later generations.

The P51 was finalized in 1940 and started production. It once became the king of the sky. Jiang Hao felt that it was shameless. Plagiarism means copying the best, and North American Airlines is now fully capable of building this fighter.

When the plane landed, Jiang Hao took a white lawyer and drove to the North American Airlines station together. Why did he bring the white lawyer? Alas, I don’t need to explain, for the sake of convenience, this lawyer was introduced by James Roosevelt, a barrister Jiang Hao hired with a lot of money.

When I came to North American Airlines, I finally met the president of the company, Kindleberger, after some twists and turns. Kindberger looked at Jiang Hao with a surprised face, "Sir, you said that you want to order a batch of fighter jets and build them according to your own drawings. I don't doubt anything. It's just that aircraft manufacturing is a very systematic project, which I can hardly imagine."

Kindelberg spread his hands. If Jiang Hao hadn't been accompanied by a lawyer, I don't know if this guy would have rant directly.

"Look at my drawings first." Jiang Hao put a sketch on the table.

Kindelberger knew a lot about airplanes. He picked up the blueprints and looked at them, and felt that the design of this airplane was so unique. It was the first time he had seen such an aerodynamic layout, but it looked just right.

Didn't the other party really come to joke, "Do you have all the drawings, I mean complete data." Kindberger asked.

"Of course, but President Kindelberger, this is the plane I designed. Before your company agrees to produce it, you need to sign an agreement. The content of the agreement is that the design patent of this plane belongs entirely to me." Jiang Hao said.

"Of course no problem." Kindberger said nonchalantly.

"By the way, how many are you going to build?" Kindleberger asked.

"The initial plan is 100." Jiang Hao said.

Kindelberger immediately widened his eyes, "100, my God, that requires a huge amount of money, although we are not yet sure about the cost of this aircraft, but I don't think it will be too little."

At this time, the lawyer next to Jiang Hao spoke, "Mr. Kindberger, you don't have to doubt Mr. Jiang's financial resources. Mr. Jiang is a partner of Mr. James Roosevelt, and the two jointly own a pharmaceutical company."

"James Roosevelt, are you talking about the president's eldest son?" Kindleberger said in surprise.

"Yes, I can guarantee it." The lawyer said.

Kindelberger's mind immediately settled down. It seems that the other party didn't come to play tricks on him, but he still had doubts, "You must know that the export of weapons needs to be approved by the military department. Where?"

"I'm Chinese, and I'm going to transport this batch of planes to China to participate in the battle." Jiang Hao said.

Kindberger frowned, "I'm afraid it's difficult?"

"This is a problem that needs to be solved later, isn't it? As long as I provide enough funds, it will not affect your company's research and production." Jiang Hao said.

Kindelberger smiled, "Of course, as long as we have money, we can immediately invest in research and make prototypes."

As for whether the Chinese on the opposite side can transport the plane to China, that is not a question he needs to consider. Maybe the person in front of him is a Chinese official, and considering the relationship between Jiang Hao and the Roosevelt family, maybe he can really make it happen. maybe.

The North American company just wants to make money, and naturally they will not shirk when they come to do business. In this way, under the witness of the lawyer, the two parties signed a research and development contract. Jiang Hao owns all the technical ownership of this aircraft, and the North American company is responsible for the research and development.

As for production, that's a later matter.

After signing the contract, Jiang Hao ordered another 10 trainer planes from North American Airlines. The price of the trainer planes was not expensive, one was only more than 20,000 US dollars, and he put down a check worth 800,000.

Up to now, Jiang Hao has only invested but not produced. He originally exchanged 1.9 million U.S. dollars, but only more than 400,000 U.S. dollars are left.

However, he believes that as long as the sale of sulfonamide starts in another month, he will have a steady stream of income, and when the little blue pill is made, the funds will be even more abundant.

After the contract was signed and the money was collected, Kindelberger happily invited Jiang Hao to visit his company. In a very large workshop, dozens of workers were building an airplane. Jiang Hao saw that the shape of this airplane was somewhat familiar.

"A few days ago, North American Airlines won the bid and won the contract for the B-25 bomber. Our engineers are working hard to build a prototype."

B-25 bomber, yes, this famous bomber was also built by North American Airlines. It is still in the development stage, and it will not be officially produced until a year later.

After finishing all this, Jiang Hao returned to New York to continue his work. Next, he will start to form his own mercenary company and recruit fighter personnel.

Not only those who can fly and fight, but also ground crew and maintenance personnel. He wants to build a complete flying brigade that can operate independently.

On the outskirts of New York, Jiang Hao bought a large farm, and then had people start transforming it into an airport. The current airport is not as troublesome as it will be in later generations, as long as the land is leveled and compacted, planes can take off and land.

The farm has two buildings with many rooms, which can accommodate more than a hundred people. This is one of the reasons why Jiang Hao chose this place, but it was not enough. He ordered people to build more rooms, which need to accommodate at least 600 people.

At the same time, Jiang Hao posted job advertisements in major newspapers,

"Hall Mercenary Company is looking for fighter pilots, bomber pilots, aircraft maintenance personnel, and several ground management personnel. The salary is generous, and there are various bonuses at the same time."

"If you dare to take risks, dare to go to the battlefield, and dare to fight with our opponents in the air, then come to our Hall Mercenary Company, and we will definitely satisfy you."

Behind the ad is a row of oversized fonts, which are very conspicuous.

"A monthly salary of 500 yuan, a bonus of 500 yuan for shooting down an enemy plane, do you dare to come and get it!!!"

This ad was published in major newspapers across the United States, and it had a shocking effect. Countless people saw this ad, and some were really tempted.
