Happy Tycoon

Chapter 656: DuPont family

   Two unexpected double eagle coins made Yang Jing tangled for a long time.

Although these two double eagle coins are very valuable, Yang Jing hasn’t noticed it yet. The main reason is that these double eagle coins are too rare, just like the 50 treasures of the ancient springs of China, as long as they are used for antiques. , There is no one who doesn't like that stuff.

   This double eagle coin is the same, even if the world's richest man sees it, I am afraid he will be happy.

   Things are rare and expensive. This is not a casual statement.

   In the end, Yang Jing still put the two double eagle coins into the storage space. Since he can't think of a way now, he will think about it slowly. Regardless of the big deal, putting these two double eagle coins directly in their own museum is not easy for anyone to say. When the time comes, no matter who finds it, it will be said that it was donated by others. As for the donor, I am sorry, it is a trade secret.

What? You said it was stolen goods? Who said that? Did you see me steal it or did you see me steal it? Why did it become stolen goods?

  I want to talk about stolen goods. Back then, you Americans snatched a lot of things from our China. Why don’t you mention those treasures?

   Isn’t it just a playful, who can’t.

Anyway, my own museum is far away from the Pacific Ocean. I have already taken over the Dragon Fund when I am waiting for the two gold coins to be displayed. No matter what, I am afraid that the U.S. government will not pay for these two gold coins and itself. Rip it?

   Putting the Double Eagle Coins into the storage space, Yang Jing was completely relieved and stopped thinking about this. There are too many things he can't see in his hands. If he arranges the legal origins for these things one by one, he will be busy for decades. Therefore, if you have more debts, you are not afraid of biting.

   love who and who!

   However, the two Double Eagle coins that Yang Jing had been struggling with for a long time also made him realize the value of this basement. This basement has not been moved for at least 20 years, and the ghost knows what treasures are hidden in this mess.

   Others can't see it, but you have the holy ring. As long as there is a treasure in it, how can you hide it from your own eyes?

   Anyway, I’m still idle now, and it’s a big deal to go back to my old job and do a job as a "garbage disposer".

   Just do it. So Yang Jing returned to the main building and found a set of work clothes from the storage space to put on it. Then, in the puzzled eyes of a group of Employers and Shedon butlers, he got into the basement of the auxiliary building, and Yang Jing came out at noon. When he was about to have lunch, his humiliated appearance made Xie Dun butler and the other servants uncontrollably amused.

   "Sir, these jobs can be done by Thompson and the others." Seeing Yang Jing devouring food, Shedon Butler also looked constipated. This is the first time he has seen such a master, but this new master still refuses to let others intervene. This is simply self-inflicted.

   But out of the duty of a housekeeper, Xie Dun was still on the sidelines to give comfort.

Swallowing a piece of bacon with difficulty, Yang Jing raised his head and smiled and said, "Alex, you don't need to worry about this kind of thing, I can handle it all by myself. Besides, if this kind of thing is left to Thompson and the others Come and do it, I'm afraid they will ruin some of these things. Forget it, you don't need to worry about it, just treat me as I exercise. Anyway, I'm not going to go anywhere else in the past two days," Yang Jing and Xie Dun said Thompson is a farmer. The Thompson family lives in the manor. Like the Shetton butler, they are hereditary managing the manor for the DuPont family. Although the owner has now been changed, the Thompson family still stayed and continued to manage the farm for Yang Jing.

   Yang Jingwan refused to let Xie Dun have no choice but to watch Yang Jing clean the basement in disgrace.

   After two days of busy work, Yang Jing finally passed all the things in the basement, let alone, there are really many old things inside.

The things in the basement are mostly things that have decades of history but are useless, but after all, this was where Alfred did experiments, so Yang Jing still found some of these old things that should have Something special.

   These things are mostly handwritten manuscripts left by Alfred that year, including some experimental experience, formulas, data, handwriting and information.

Most of these things are of little use to Yang Jing, but they are of great commemorative significance to the DuPont family. Yang Jing decided to keep two of the notebooks that seemed "very interesting", and then return the rest. To the DuPont family.

   Through the purchase of this manor and a brief exchange with Robert Dupont, Yang Jing has a good impression of the family. Yang Jing is preparing to establish his own consortium, and it is absolutely right to have a good relationship with these ancient families and consortiums entrenched in the North American continent.

   Of course, if you dare to bully me, then don't blame Lao Tzu for retaliating, such as those brain-dead people from the Boston Consortium.

In any case, from the current point of view, the DuPont family's attitude towards Yang Jing is still relatively good, so Yang Jing does not have to tear up the DuPont family, and handing these materials and manuscripts to the DuPont family will surely make the relationship between the two parties. further more.

   Whether it is Yang Jing or the DuPont family, they must be very happy to see a better relationship between them.

  The DuPont family can be said to be the oldest family in the United States. Whether it is the Morgan family or the Rockefeller family, the history of the DuPont family is far behind. And this kind of ancient family that has passed on for more than two hundred years still values ​​the inheritance very much.

   If there is no core inheritance, the DuPont family will not inherit it for so long. Therefore, although the DuPont family now looks far less brilliant than before, anyone who underestimates this family will definitely suffer.

   The background of this kind of family is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

   The DuPont family has been passed down for more than two hundred years, and more important things have been done. The three most famous things are still being talked about.

  The first major event was naturally the thing done by Pierre DuPont, the founder of the DuPont family, that prompted the US government to buy French Louisiana from the French government.

The United States broke out its own war in 1775 and declared the founding of the country in 1776. Until 1781, after seven years of war, the Americans headed by Washington finally defeated the British Empire, and signed the "War" with the British in 1783. The Versailles Contract between the United States and Britain announced that the war of independence was truly over, and the United States established the United States Federation with only 13 states.

When the United States first established the Federation, the United States had only 13 states on the East Coast, with an area of ​​only 2 million square kilometers, which is a far cry from the next generation of the United States, which is close to 9.6 million square kilometers. The vast lands of the central and western United States did not belong to the United States at that time.

At that time, the first generation of the Dupont family in Europe, Pierre Dupont, was still serving the French dynasty. However, when Napoleon came to power, he believed that Pierre was deadly loyal to the French royal family, so all members of the Dupont family were exiled. The United States, in this way, the base camp of the DuPont family moved from France to the United States.

   Pierre looked blank when he arrived in the United States. The United States is a brand new place to him. Apart from the family brought from France

That little savings, nothing else, he must lead his family to start a new business. Pierre has two sons, the youngest son Irene Dupont and the eldest son Victor Dupont. Irene studied under Lavoisier, the "father of modern French chemistry". He learned how to make gunpowder from Lavoisier; Victor was a communicator who lingered in the aristocracy, and he knew more celebrities than Pierre. .

   When he was in Europe, Pierre used Irene's chemical knowledge to establish a gunpowder factory, and then used Victor's social interaction to make the gunpowder factory bigger.

   But after being expelled to the United States by Napoleon, the DuPont family's European industries were all ruined. In desperation, Pierre had no choice but to repeat his tactics and produce gunpowder in the United States. After all, the United States is different from France. Although Pierre is familiar with many officials in the United States, he is always a bit uncomfortable in doing things. Pierre and his son started the idea of ​​the US government. Irene suggested that his father advise President Jefferson to purchase the French territory of Louisiana in the Americas.

Jefferson actually thought about buying French Louisiana as early as a year, because at this time the United States actually took possession of New Orleans, and the sovereignty of New Orleans belongs to France. In order to preserve New Orleans, buying Louisiana is the best way. However, the French government does not seem to be interested in the US proposal, or that France cannot accept the US conditions.

After Pierre got involved, Jefferson was very happy. He immediately appointed Pierre as the plenipotentiary representative for the purchase of French Louisiana, and negotiated with Napoleon on behalf of the United States. In the end, France agreed to sell to the United States at a price of 4 cents per acre. , The final total transaction price is 15 million US dollars.

   How big is French Louisiana? Quite simply, the entire central part of the United States in later generations belonged to French Louisiana. In terms of specific regions of later generations, that would be Louisiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, The 14 states of Oklahoma ~www.readwn.com~ have a total area of ​​about 2 million square kilometers! It was about the same size as the U.S. Confederation at that time!

   Washington is known as the father of the United States, but the United States he founded has only 13 states. And the transaction between the United States and France led and facilitated by Pierre of the DuPont family directly doubled the territory of the United States!

   From this perspective alone, how much worse is Pierre than Washington?

   After facilitating this transaction, in return, the U.S. government handed over all the business of extracting saltpeter to the DuPont family. They have since been on the thighs of the U.S. government, and the business in the United States has become turbulent.

   This is the DuPont family.

   Although the DuPont family was a little bit opportunistic in the initial stage, it was able to facilitate a land purchase transaction between the two governments. How many people can do this kind of thing?

  Furthermore, the United States is a place where people cannibalize. If the DuPont family doesn't have the ability and strength, how can it last for more than two hundred years in the United States?

   Thanks to the information explosion of later generations, the previously mysterious DuPont family is not so mysterious in Yang Jing's eyes, so Yang Jing knows a lot of what the DuPont family did in the past. The DuPont family’s promotion of the purchase of French Louisiana by the United States is only the beginning of the DuPont family’s rise. Pierre DuPont’s descendants have also done many great things.
