738 Who is afraid of whom


DuPont's headquarters is not far from Battery Park, across from the Treasury sub-warehouse on Wall Street, where Washington once delivered his inaugural address.

In recent years, the Junma Group and DuPont have maintained a good relationship, DuPont pays a certain amount of royalties to the Junma Arms Company every year, and the Junma Arms Company orders all the gunpowder needed for the production of weapons from DuPont, and now DuPont has purchased more than 10 kinds of patents from the Junma Arms Company, and smokeless gunpowder is only one of them.

Before leaving, Li Mu had already called, and Henry DuPont arranged for his nephew Lamoth to meet Li Mu downstairs.

Don't think that this is Henry DuPont ignoring Li Mu, in fact, Lammott is no less important in the DuPont family than Henry DuPont, don't look at Henry DuPont is the president of DuPont, in fact, Henry DuPont does not understand gunpowder technology, Lamort loves chemistry since childhood, he is the chief engineer of DuPont, after Li Mu founded the Horse Laboratory, Henry DuPont also founded the DuPont Laboratory, and Lammott is the head of the DuPont Laboratory.

"Antonio told me that your lab has recently produced several high explosives, and it seems that it is necessary for the Stallion Lab to have a certain degree of cooperation with DuPont Labs, which will be beneficial to both of us."

Li Mu's poor knowledge of chemistry has long been forgotten, so Li Mu can only find a topic with Lamotte from management.

In terms of overall strength, DuPont laboratory and Horse laboratory must not be compared, Horse laboratory is the largest scientific research institution in the United States, now has more than 1,000 staff, in many fields of research level in the world's leading position, DuPont laboratory only in gunpowder research has made achievements, this is also thanks to the DuPont family for many years of accumulation, after all, the DuPont family has been engaged in gunpowder for more than half a century, there are still two brushes.

"That's my pleasure, sir, in fact we have only achieved a little bit of success, and this is still based on the patents of the Horse Laboratory, and I will contact Mr.

Antonio when I get back."

Lamotte is very humble, as is the case with the truly talented people, they are never proud, and the further they go on the path of science, the more they feel their insignificance.

However, there seems to be a small problem here, the DuPont laboratory is actually a breakthrough made on the basis of the research of the Junma Laboratory's patents, which should be regarded as a mistake of the Junma Laboratory, Li Mu stipulated a long time ago that only after the emergence of the next generation of results, the previous generation of patents will be sold, it seems that the Junma Laboratory did not strictly abide by this regulation.

Not necessarily, gunpowder is not the same as engines and telephones, and the formula and process can be improved, but improvement requires a lot of basic experiments, with good luck, one experiment will be successful, and bad luck, hundreds or thousands of experiments are also normal, so it cannot simply be determined that the Junma Laboratory is negligent, but Li Mu will definitely call Antonio Meucci.

"Ha, this time Antonio is in trouble, don't worry, I won't tell him that you told me."

Li Mu laughed, and Lamotte immediately had a black line on his face.

Of course, this is a joke, Li Mu will not punish Antonio, but a beating is indispensable, the Horse Laboratory has not come up with epoch-making inventions such as cars and airplanes for a long time, and Li Mu also needs to be properly spurred, otherwise someone will sleep on the credit book.

The headquarters of DuPont is a six-storey building, Henry DuPont also burned the building to name the DuPont Building, perhaps twenty years ago, the six-story building could barely be called a building, but now it makes people laugh off the big teeth, not to mention that they are all more than ten stories high "Four Brothers of Battery", in Wall Street, the six-story building is no longer considered a high-rise.

When the DuPont Building was built, there was no elevator, so the elevator was added later, independent of the building, and the elevator that Li Mu took was a special elevator for Henry DuPont, which went directly to the top floor where Henry DuPont's office was located.

"You should change to a new headquarters, this building and DuPont no longer match, how about it, do you want me to squeeze out a place for you in Fort Park" Li Mu revealed it as soon as he entered the door, as for whether Henry DuPont was happy or not, it was not within Li Mu's consideration.

"No, I think that's good."

Henry DuPont is not like some nouveau riche, eager to put all the money out for people to see, with the status of DuPont, even if Henry DuPont puts the company's headquarters in Brooklyn, there will still be a large number of people who take the initiative to come to the door.

"What a miser, what's the use of making so much money" Li Mu is the nouveau riche in the eyes of Henry Dupont, this is a matter of concept, maybe Henry DuPont thinks he is willing to be ordinary, but in Li Mu's view, it is what to pretend, a dignified billionaire, the office is not twenty square meters, is it really good, the guests come and don't even have a place to sit, even if the small boss in the 21st century is squeezed, he has to squeeze out a tea table in the office.

"If you're here to find fault, now you can go."

Henry Dupont is also not polite, the clay figurines are still three points of fire, familiar and familiar, and the hand is too long to annoy.

"Of course, I was looking for you for something, I couldn't tell you on the phone, and you didn't go to Castle Clinton" Li Mu could only sit across Henry Dupont's desk, and he didn't know if Henry DuPont was deliberately snubbing, and he came in for so long that no one even sent him a cup of coffee.

"Say, what's the matter" Henry DuPont personally got up and poured coffee for Li Mu, it seemed that he was not deliberately neglecting, but intentionally, could it be that he was using this way to get closer Li Mu didn't think it was necessary.

"I just called Washington, and there was something wrong with the supply contract with the War Department, and the problem was with gunpowder."

Li Mu set up an ambush first to see what Henry DuPont had to say.

"Even if there is a problem with the gunpowder, it is a problem with the Horse Weapons Company, and the gunpowder I gave you is good."

Sure enough, Henry Dupont immediately cleared up, no one wanted to make trouble, and this was not Halloween candy.

"I didn't say it's your problem, the problem is with the War Department, I'm looking for you for" Li Mu said the purpose, and Henry DuPont immediately expressed his interest.

"Of course, it's good if you can pass, but it's difficult, I have news, Louisiana is going to set up an arms company, do you have any ideas" Henry DuPont provided a new message, and Li Mu's face was immediately difficult to see.

"When is it" Li Mu really doesn't know about it, otherwise Li Mu will start to arrange it as soon as possible, compared to this matter, what bullets expire, and the ban on trade is a drizzle, the arms industry is the core industry of the Junma Group, and Li Mu will never allow others to get involved.

Louisiana is the stronghold of the Democratic Party, during the Civil War, Louisiana was a staunch supporter of the Confederate State, after the war, the federal government imposed military control on some southern states, and after Hayes came to power, he withdrew the federal troops stationed in Louisiana, Louisiana was also the last state of the federal government to contact military management, which also became the fuse that led to the bad relations between Hayes and the Republican Party.

By the way, Louisiana is also one of the few remaining states in the United States that has not placed orders with the Steed Arms Company.

"Not yet, but I've heard the rumors, a few southerners went to the California Gunpowder Company on the West Coast to buy gunpowder, they thought that if they didn't buy it from me, I wouldn't find out, it's so naïve, the point is that they don't buy explosives, but propellants, if you go to New Orleans now to check import and export orders, it is estimated that you will find something."

Henry DuPont must be towards Li Mu, although from Henry Dupont's point of view, the more gunpowder is sold, the better, but if you want to maintain a good relationship with Li Mu, Henry DuPont has to make a trade-off.

The gunpowder in the United States is all from the American Gunpowder Association, and the orders of the American Gunpowder Association are distributed by Henry DuPont, so as long as the gunpowder is traded in the United States, it cannot escape Henry DuPont's supervision.

As for New Orleans, which is the capital of Louisiana, this is a port city, and if Louisiana wants to set up an arms enterprise, then it will definitely order the machines needed to produce weapons from Europe, because they will certainly not choose to buy it from Springfield.

"Thank you, General, I owe you once."

Li Mu is very grateful to Henry DuPont for taking the initiative to provide the news, this is a big event, and Li Mu should immediately arrange to deal with it.

"Hey, hey, what about our tariffs and trade agreement" Henry DuPont doesn't care how urgent Li Mu's mood is, the interests he catches are the real interests, anyway, no matter what, whether it is the Horse Arms Company or the Louisiana Arms Company, they have to order gunpowder from Henry DuPont.

"I asked Henry to contact you, damn it, I want to kill people now, let the tariff and trade agreement go to hell."

Li Mu is out of mood at this time, someone in Louisiana is looking for death, Li Mu will let them get their wish.

Americans are too lazy, a lot of Henry, a lot of Mack, and a lot of William If you don't add a surname, you don't know who you are talking about, but fortunately, Henry DuPont should know that the "Henry" Li Mu said refers to the vice president of the Horse Group, so let the two Henries go together to lobby Washington.

"Hahaha, I wish you a happy killing" Regardless of whether Li Mukai is happy or not, anyway, Henry DuPont is very happy at this time, as for killing, please, that capitalist is not full of blood this year, according to the practice of the 21st century, Li Mu and Henry DuPont should each be sentenced to three or five thousand years.

This is not a mistake, Westerners are like this, sometimes Western laws are child's play, although some countries have the death penalty, but not all, for example, many states in the United States have abolished the death penalty, so those who commit the most heinous crimes have exceptionally long sentences.

The longest sentence in the world is a Spaniard named Gabriel Grandos, this guy is a postman, according to Spanish law, if the postman loses a letter, he will be sentenced to nine years in prison, as a result, this careless guy lost more than 40,000 letters in more than a year, so the Spanish police's request to the court is to sentence this guy to 384912 years in prison.

God, I really hope that he will live to be released from prison.

Back on Governor's Island, Li Mu immediately sent a series of instructions, first to Santiago, because after studying the map, Li Mu found that New Orleans is located on the Caribbean coast, which is a good show, San Diego is located at the exit of the Caribbean Sea, guarding the choke point, and New Orleans' ships must pass through San Diego if they want to go to Europe.

If San Diego is only the first line of defense, then there is the Bahamas after San Diego, and after the Bahamas is the endless Atlantic Ocean, so as long as New Orleans buys relevant machinery from Europe, then it must pass through the San Diego line in the Bahamas.

Li Mu's second call was to Arthur, Louisiana was going to set up an arms company, Arthur should have heard about it as a government official, and it was Henry Dupont who told Li Mu about it, not Arthur who reminded him first, which made Li Mu very dissatisfied.

"Louisiana can't be" After Li Mu finished talking on the phone, Arthur first subconsciously vetoed it, and then fell silent.

How could it be impossible, Louisiana had just left the military and was still hating the federal government, so they had every reason to set up an arms company, not for the Horse Arms Company, but for Louisiana's own needs.

Of course, it may not be just Louisiana that needs this, but the southern states, as long as the Democrats have a majority, they probably don't want to do business with the horse arms company.

Who made Li Mu a supporter of the Republican Party?

"Don't worry that it may not be, even if there is a sign of this, you know what it means to have a second arms company in the United States, I annexed Springfield, forced Colt away, and brought down Winchester, but it's not to clear the market for someone, you just have to tell me who it is, and I'll do the rest."

Li Mu is murderous, after the merger of Springfield Colt and Winchester, the United States actually has some small workshop-style weapons companies, but that does not pose a threat to the Horse Arms Company, Li Mu has not cut the grass and eradicated the roots, now if there is a large arms company, it will definitely not work, Li Mu also has to learn from Henry DuPont, don't look at Henry DuPont blew up the competitor's factory and left a lifetime of infamy, but Henry DuPont has since dominated the American gunpowder industry, and no one has dared to challenge Henry DuPont.

Strike when it's time to do it, and let free trade go to hell.

"Reem, don't be impulsive, a lot of people are staring at you right now."

Arthur already felt that something was wrong, although he might not be able to stop Li Mu, but from the position of a friend, what should be said still had to be said.

"I understand."

Li Mu didn't talk nonsense, just stared at it, how could he have the ability to blow up the Horse Weapons Company.
