The Goddess Shines on America

Chapter 461: DuPont's gunpowder

Lockheed Corporation headquarters in Maryland, East Coast of the United States.

Headed by Oren Lockheed himself, and accompanied by five directors, they welcomed Alice into the meeting room.

"I really didn't expect that you could agree to our invitation so soon." He said very enthusiastically: "Actually, I also know that the field of chemistry is completely different from electronic engineering, although you are in the programming of avionics systems. It helped us a lot, but the category of explosives is another matter."

Now that I knew it, I sent out an invitation, which actually explains the problem. Alice secretly smiled in her heart and glanced at the shareholders behind Lockheed. They are all elderly people, and 100% of the family will have children of the right age.

"This is very easy to understand. Like many people who know busy technology all the time, they will certainly not know my achievements in the field of literature. This year, the ability to obtain information is much more convenient than in ancient times. In the Middle Ages, there are all-round talents. Where's Vinci, what's my point?"

The girl spread her hands and spoke shrillly, but she drew unanimous laughter from the accompanying staff.

While they were talking, the seven people were already seated, and a forty-year-old shareholder said: "Many entrepreneurs like to express their thoughts by publishing books, but not many people use popular novels. Miss Wang, you The explanation of magic in that "Harry Potter" is based entirely on very deep knowledge of microphysics and chemistry, which I can see best."

Alice’s involvement in the arms company’s business was mainly achieved through Oren Lockheed and several senior executives in the technology department, with limited understanding at the shareholder level. Seeing that the man who opened his mouth was full of energy, he was obviously from the upper class, and he was still a sensitive identity of Lockheed's shareholder.

"Excuse me, may I ask if you are?"

The man smiled calmly and elegantly: "Bones DuPont, I wonder how much Miss Wang knows about our family's consortium?"

Alice gave a dazed expression: "No wonder, the century-old DuPont family made its fortune with gunpowder, and now it is also the owner of a leading company in the chemical industry. As a member of this family, you can become a shareholder of Lockheed. It's perfect."

It is really surprising that it is one of the ten largest consortia in the United States.

But Bonis-DuPont smiled humbly: "Listed companies, complicated corporate holding relationships, and family members withered, we just have a resounding name now. The 21st century is approaching, and it's time for a new type of aristocracy to appear in turn. "

This is indeed the case. DuPont, Morgan, Rockefeller, the so-called ten largest consortia in the world or the existence of Japanese ****, although they are so famous, it is easy to associate them with conspiracy theories, but they have always stayed in those centuries. in.

It is true that they are a strong enterprise alliance, and they have been in the basic industry for a long time. Many people's food, clothing, housing and transportation are closely related to them. But the times are developing after all. With the implementation of a series of reforms after World War II and the birth of the Silicon Valley industry, these centuries-old existences really can only be shown by their names.

Before and after World War II, imperialist monopoly, economic globalization, the changes over the years are really dazzling.

I couldn't help but glance over the book that was from 2007's "Currency War", Alice couldn't help but smile wryly, to say that this brain is wide open, it is really a feature shared by all mankind.

The meeting officially begins, and the meeting that can allow a full five shareholders to attend will of course not be a short-term discussion among parents. In the gunpowder field, this proposal was made by Bonis DuPont, and after accepting his comprehensive proposal as CEO, Oren immediately thought of inviting Alice over to talk.

"Lockheed has superb technology in the field of navigation electronics. Trident submarine-launched missiles and Hercules intercontinental missiles have also received high orders from the Ministry of Defense. But after all, they belong to the strategic field. Now, the company intends to also Development in the field of conventional missiles and bombs."

I think this is the purpose of Bonnis DuPont's stake. According to Oren’s timely introduction, Alice learned that although the DuPont family had a long history of investing in Lockheed, the one in front of him had joined half a year ago.

"Of course, we can't force Miss Wang to show how high a chemical talent she is just because she has written a novel. But recent industry rumors suggest that you are planning to cooperate with Hong Kong wealthy businessmen to establish a medical company. Biology and chemistry are Two closely related fields, so we think you will definitely be interested in this project."

The official speech was full of smiles, and Alice listened with satisfaction. After DuPont and Lockheed had both expressed their opinions, she spoke unhurriedly.

"Well... It turns out that I am really interested in this project, otherwise I won't come."

The scene ushered in a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere. In the following time, DuPont introduced Alice in detail about the company's related businesses.

Yes, Bonis-DuPont is introducing Alice. After all, she is not just a mere technical consultant. While holding a certain amount of Lockheed shares, she is much stronger than someone in the DuPont family based on her personal worth alone. Even in the eyes of veteran capitalists, the people of Silicon Valley are just emerging upstarts, but history has proved that they were all emerging upstarts in the old society?

They are all smart people who know how to put their posture right.

"At present, there are about nine ammunition factories in the U.S. ammunition industry, as well as more than a dozen propellant and propellant manufacturers, and their supporting enterprises. Of these nine ammunition companies, three are state-owned and six are state-owned and private. Including Army Lake City Ammunition Factory, Iowa Army Ammunition Factory, Aksin Manufacturing Company, Primax Technologies, Alliant Technical Systems, Sacco Military Products, CIC International, Pine Bluff Arsenal, Long Star Army Ammunition Factory, Mississippi Ammunition Factory, Milan Army Ammunition Factory, etc..."

What a long list, Alice also admires it, because DuPont has memorized these lists silently.

"They are manufacturers, but they must be...haha, Miss Wang realized that, yes, most of the gunpowder formulas are from DuPont Group. After all, we started by making explosives. There is no reason to lose our old business in this age. "

Speaking of this, Alice can of course also think of those state-owned and private enterprises that will have DuPont Group's shares. In this era, the consortium cannot blatantly show its presence like the former Standard Oil, but it is also the blessing of a series of reforms such as the "separation of ownership and management rights" in the 1950s and 1960s, and the mutual shareholding of enterprises has become very easy.

"So, these are the basic information of our DuPont Group in the field of explosives. It includes the explosive components of various types of shells, missiles, and bombs currently used by the U.S. Army, Air Force, and Navy."

A thick pile of materials was piled up in front of Alice, it was really a thick pile, the kind that couldn't fit in three or four portfolios.

"... I said," she patted the top one, "is there a floppy disk version? I seem to be faster."

The floppy disk is in a separate small bag. Of course, Alice has not forgotten what age it is now, not to mention the USB flash drive, even this so-called floppy disk, can not really count on its capacity. However, it's okay to hold two or three thousand pages of information, a small package is enough.

"Development of new explosives, I followed this project."

She said: "Investment funds will arrive on time. Please rest assured that the board of directors. As for whether I can really study what new products from Mr. DuPont's information..."

The girl's smile was very ambiguous, and the adult men on the scene gave another chuckle.

"Of course it depends on fate~"

It was not revealed at this time. After the morning board meeting was over, it was time for Oren Lockheed to lead a group of people for lunch.

This is not a project meeting between companies. The company routinely convenes a board of directors. Don’t forget that it’s still the end of the year. At the dinner table, everyone is considered to be their own in the current environment, so once the topic is opened, all kinds of chattering suddenly begin.

"Mr. DuPont," said three slices of salmon, and Alice said with a cup of orange juice: "Last year's Nobel Laureate in Chemistry" Charles Peterson, should he be a scientist under your consortium? "

Tasting the grape wine~www.readwn.com~Bonnis-DuPont’s eyebrows flashed with a deep surprise: "Miss Wang actually has this information. Yes, he is from a medical research laboratory under my consortium. Research Institute. Miss Wang asked if this is..."

The answer is self-evident: "The umbrella company I registered in the UK is expected to target Europe. However, if colleagues from the DuPont consortium can pave the way in the United States, I believe it will definitely make its development smoother. So , Bonis, maybe you can discuss with the people in the group a little bit, the possibility of our cooperation with each other******* Lisi said lightly in the last sentence, but the corner of her mouth has already laughed happily and proudly.

The overall strength of the DuPont consortium is very strong, and of course it does not stick to the fields of explosives, nylon, rubber, and paint. Its development in the field of bioengineering should not be underestimated. Although non-professionals seldom pay attention to the root source of a certain drug, and being sick is just an aspirin, but ordinary consumers are of course only the end of the industry.

This conversation was just one of the sentences exchanged by the seven members of the board of directors, but Oren Lockheed also heard it really brightly.

It seems that this girl who started in Silicon Valley is going to make a thorough entry into the heavy industry industry?
