Marvel's Magneto is a good guy

Chapter 17 Layout Kenya

Three days later, Eric came to Kenya with Ulysses and the little leopard, and there was another person with him, his beautiful secretary Jennifer.

Since inheriting the title and inheritance of "Papa Charles", he can be considered a celebrity, and it is nothing to walk around in the United States, but it is easy to attract the attention of others when going abroad, especially Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. Been staring at him all the time.And he wasn't sure how long he needed to go, so he didn't dare to fly there secretly, so he could only take the plane honestly.

A group of people soon landed in Kenya on the grounds of going abroad for inspection.

A billionaire and a European aristocrat came to Kenya, a small and poor place for inspection, which attracted a lot of attention from the local government, and the business department sent several officials of small size to pick up the plane.

Eric put on a playboy look, his eyes were full of contempt, and Jennifer was so angry when she saw his expression, she was already busy enough in the company, and now she was asked to come to Africa , don’t you know how poisonous the African sun is to girls’ skin?
"My lord president, can you tell me now what is the purpose of our coming here?" Jennifer didn't want to make a face with Eric in front of the Kenyan officials. Pulled down immediately.

"Dear Jennifer, I took you out on vacation because I saw you working too hard in the company. You don't appreciate it. It's so sad!" Eric pretended to wipe away two tears, and his tone was more aggrieved How wronged.

"Huh!" Jennifer took a deep breath towards the sky, closed her eyes to adjust her emotions, and tried not to let herself get angry.

"Okay, Jennifer, Kenya is one of the birthplaces of human beings. The history here is very long. Let's go around tomorrow, maybe we can find prehistoric human sites or something."

"Mr. Eric! Our magnetic levitation test track has been successfully built, and the magnetic levitation train has also been built. The first trial run is very smooth. As long as we accumulate more data, we can report to the railway department. As long as we pass the review, we have Possibly received an order! Our time is very precious, and we don't have any extra time to investigate prehistoric human sites here!" The assistant to the president was really angry this time, and scolded Eric.

"Hehe, of course I know this, but Jennifer, you have to take a long-term view." Eric got up and gave Jennifer a glass of red wine, and said: "Our magnetic levitation technology is the most advanced in the world, and room temperature superconducting materials are even more advanced. It is the only one in the world. In the United States and in the whole world, we have no rivals!"

"Of course, we..."

"Listen to me," Eric waved his hand, "maglev train is a very promising project, it will have a huge impact on the traditional transportation industry, but no country will reject this impact, because it It represents the future!"

Eric stretched out two hands, one spread out, and said, "There is no opponent!"

He spread his other hand, "The government will definitely support it!"

Putting both hands together and holding them tightly, Eric stared at Jennifer, "What do you think our future will be like?"

"We will lead the global railway industry!" Jennifer stood up excitedly. She has imagined this future countless times!
"No!" Eric shook his head slowly, spreading his hands again, "We will die a terrible death!"

"Why?" Jennifer exclaimed.

"Because we don't have enough strength to swallow this cake, and we are not greedy enough to swallow it like a snake. In the end, we can only be exhausted! There were as many as [-] American railway companies at their peak! Now after integration and annexation, there are almost Qianjia, the largest six companies including UP and BNSF, control nearly [-]% of the railroad business in the United States, and you sorted out these materials for me, so you should know better than me.”

"Of course, but our technology..."

"Our technology has surpassed theirs for decades, and the price is cheaper than them, but we have no connections!" Eric sighed, "The US government will cooperate with us, and our orders will not be short. Not strong enough to influence the White House, but they will stumble elsewhere, like raw materials!"

"Steel, aluminum, copper, they can't control these basic materials, but it's hard to say about some special materials." Eric took out a small gray metal ball and put it on the table. The ball glowed under the sunlight. Dazzling metallic luster, "Like this, niobium!"

"Niobium?" Jennifer carefully picked up the ball, put it in front of her eyes and observed it carefully, "Is this niobium? I haven't seen it before. I heard from the technical department that this thing is very cheap, but it is synthetic Lanshere No. [-]." Very important raw material."

"The price of niobium is indeed very cheap, only a few tens of dollars per pound, but this material is very niche, only five or six companies in the United States sell it, and we are very dependent on this material. Without this material, we We won’t be able to build the Lanshere One! As long as we control these five or six companies and say hello to the customs, we will have no more niobium to use!”

"So serious? I have to ask them to order more!" Jennifer jumped up hurriedly, picked up the phone and was about to make a call, but Eric hurriedly stopped her.

"It's useless, how much can we order now? Its output is there. Even if we pay a price several times higher, we can't order much, which is far from meeting our future demand! What's more, niobium is not a example!"

"Then what should we do?" Jennifer's pretty face was full of anxiety.

Eric laughed, pointing to the scenery outside the window and said: "This is where we are now, look in that direction, Mrima Mountain, there are a lot of niobium ore, and the mining equipment here is still at 40 The level of years ago!"

Speaking of this, Jennifer's eyes suddenly lit up, and she stood by the window and kept looking out. Eric came behind her and pointed in another direction, "Look in that direction, Tamota, there are barites there; that Direction, Gil Gil, one of the largest diatomite mines in the world, and there..."

Jennifer's eyes moved along with Eric's fingers, smelling the scent of Eric's body in her nose, her little face flushed slightly.Although this man looks cynical, he always surprises people, making people involuntarily curious about him.

……

The next day, leaving Jennifer to accompany the local business department officials to inspect, Eric left the city with "bodyguard" Ulysses and "servant" Little Leopard, bought an off-road vehicle at a high price, and set off towards the prairie , went to investigate the ruins of prehistoric civilization...
