The two unexpected Double Eagle coins made Yang Jing struggle for a long time.Although these two Double Eagle coins are worth a lot of money, Yang Jing hasn't seen them yet, the main reason is that this kind of Double Eagle Coin is too rare, just like the fifty treasures of the ancient spring in Huaxia, as long as they play antiques, there is no one who doesn't like that thing.The same is true for this Double Eagle coin, even if the world's richest man sees it, I am afraid that he will be happy.Scarcity is expensive, this is not something that is said casually.In the end, Yang Jing still put the two Double Eagle coins into the storage space, and since he can't think of a way to do it now, he will think about it slowly.It's a big deal to don't care about anything, just put these two Double Eagle coins in your own museum, and no one can say that it is not easy to use.At that time, no matter who looks for it, it will be said that it was donated by someone else, and as for the donor, I'm sorry, it's a trade secret.What?
You say it's swag?
Says who?
Did you see me stealing or did you see me robbing?
How did it become stolen goods?
If you want to talk about stolen goods, you Americans stole a lot of things from our China back then, why don't you mention those treasures?
Isn't it just playing Laipi, who wouldn't.Anyway, his own museum is far away on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and he has already taken over the Dragon Fund when he is waiting for the two gold coins to be exhibited, no matter what aspect it is, I'm afraid the US government will not tear up with itself for these two gold coins, right?
After putting the Double Eagle Coin into the storage space, Yang Jing was completely relieved and no longer thought about this aspect of things.There are too many things in his hands that he can't see, and if he arranges the legal origin of these things one by one, he will not be able to finish his work for decades.Therefore, if you have more debts, you will not worry, and if you have more lice, you will not be afraid of biting.Love whoever you are!
However, these two Double Eagle Coins, which Yang Jing had been entangled with for a long time, also made him realize the value of this basement.This basement hasn't been touched for at least twenty years, and who knows what treasures are hidden in this messy mess.Others can't see it, but if you have the holy ring, as long as there is a treasure in it, how can you hide it from your eyes?
Anyway, if you're idle now, it's a big deal to go back to your old job and do a job as a "garbage handler" again.Do what you think.So Yang Jing returned to the main building, found a set of work clothes from the storage space to change into, and then in the puzzled eyes of a group of employees and Shelton housekeepers, he went into the basement of the annex building, and when Yang Jing came out at noon to prepare for lunch, his gray-faced appearance made Sheldon housekeepers and those employees couldn't help laughing."
Sir, these jobs can be left to Thompson and them" Seeing Yang Jing gobbling up food, Sheldon's housekeeper also looked constipated.It's the first time he's seen such a master, but this new owner doesn't let others interfere, it's just self-inflicted.However, out of the duty of a housekeeper, Sheldon still comforted him.After swallowing a piece of bacon meat with difficulty, Yang Jing raised his head and said with a smile: "Alex, you don't have to worry about this kind of thing, I can handle it completely alone."
Besides, if this kind of thing were to be left to Thompson, I'm afraid they'd spoil some of it.Forget it, you don't have to worry about it, just let me work out.Anyway, I haven't planned to go anywhere else in the past two days" Yang Jing and Sheldon said that Thompson is a farmer on the farm, and the Thompson family lives in the manor, and their family, like Shelton Housekeeper, is hereditary to take care of the manor for the Dupont family.Although the owner has changed now, the Thompson family still stays and continues to take care of the farm for Yang Jing.Yang Jing refused to let Shelton have no choice, so he could only watch Yang Jing clean up the basement alone.After two days of busy work, Yang Jing finally went through all the things in the basement, not to mention, there are really a lot of old gadgets in it.Most of the things in the basement were decades old but useless, but after all, this was once the place where Alfred did experiments, so Yang Jing still found something that should have special significance among these old things.Most of these things are handwritten manuscripts left by Alfred back then, including some experiments, formulas, data, handwriting and materials.Most of these things were of little use to Yang Jing, but they were still of great commemorative significance to the DuPont family, and Yang Jing decided to leave two of the notebooks that looked "quite interesting" and then handed the rest back to the DuPont family.Through the purchase of this manor and a brief exchange with Robert DuPont, Yang Jing still has a good impression of this family.Yang Jing is ready to establish his own consortium, and it is absolutely right to have a good relationship with these ancient families and consortiums that are deeply rooted in the North American continent.Of course, if you dare to bully me, then don't blame Lao Tzu for a tooth for a tooth, such as the brain-dead of 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 there is no need for Yang Jing to tear up with the DuPont family, and handing over these materials and manuscripts to the DuPont family will surely make the relationship between the two sides go further.Whether it is Yang Jing or the DuPont family, they must be happy to see a better relationship between the two sides.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, and the history of the DuPont family is far from the same.And this kind of ancient family, which has been inherited for more than 200 years, still attaches great importance to inheritance.Without the core legacy, the DuPont family would not have lasted so long.Therefore, although the DuPont family now looks far less brilliant than before, anyone who underestimates this family will definitely suffer a big loss.This kind of family heritage is not something that ordinary people can imagine.The DuPont family has been inherited for more than 200 years and has done many great things, and the three most famous things are still talked about today.The first major event was, of course, the one done by Pierre Dupont, the founder of the DuPont family, which led to the purchase of French Louisiana by the U.S. government from the French government.The United States broke out in 1775 and declared the founding of the country in 1776, until 1781, after seven years of war, the Americans led by Washington finally defeated the British Empire, and in 1783 signed the "United States and Britain Versailles Treaty" with the British, declaring the real end of the war alone, and the United States established the United States Commonwealth with only thirteen states.When the United States first established the Union, the territory of the United States was only 13 states on the east coast, and the area was only about 2 million square kilometers, which was far from the land area of the United States of nearly 9.6 million square kilometers in later generations, and the vast land in the central and western parts of the United States did not belong to the United States at that time.At that time, the first generation of the DuPont family in Europe was still serving the French Bodi Dynasty, but when Napoleon came to power, he thought that Pierre was loyal to the French royal family, so he exiled all the members of the Dupont family to the United States, and the base camp of the Dupont family was transferred from France to the United States.When he arrived in the United States, Pierre was at a loss, the United States was a new place for him, and his family had nothing but the savings they had brought from France, and he had to lead his family to start a new business.Pierre had two sons, the younger son Irene Dupont and the eldest son Victor Dupont.Irené studied under Lavoisier, the "father of modern French chemistry", from whom he learned how to make gunpowder; Victor, on the other hand, was a courtesan in aristocratic circles, and he knew more celebrities than Pierre.When he was in Europe, Pierre used Irene's chemical knowledge to build a gunpowder factory, and then used Victor's social network to make the gunpowder factory bigger.However, after being expelled to the United States by Napoleon, the DuPont family's industry in Europe was completely destroyed, and in desperation, Pierre had no choice but to repeat the plan and produce gunpowder in the United States.After all, the United States is different from France, and although Pierre is familiar with many officials in the United States, it is always a little difficult to do things.Pierre and his son started the idea of the U.S. government, and Irene suggested that his father ask him to ask President Jefferson to buy Louisiana, a French territory in the Americas.Jefferson actually thought about buying French Louisiana as early as a year, because at this time the United States actually occupied New Orleans, and the sovereignty of New Orleans belonged to France, in order to keep New Orleans, it was the best way to buy Louisiana, but the French government did not seem interested in the American proposal, or France could not accept the conditions offered by the United States.Jefferson was so happy that he immediately appointed Pierre as plenipotentiary for the purchase of Louisiana of France, and negotiated with Napoleon on behalf of the United States, and finally the French agreed to sell it to the United States for 4 cents per acre, for a total of $15 million.How big is French Louisiana?
Quite simply, the entire central part of the United States belonged to French Louisiana.If you define it in terms of the specific area of the later generations, it is the fourteen states of Louisiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, and Oklahoma, with a total area of about 2 million square kilometers!
It was about the same size as the U.S. federal government at that time!
Washington is known as the founding father of the United States, but the United States he founded had only thirteen states.And the deal between the United States and France led and facilitated by Pierre of the DuPont family directly doubled the territory of the United States!
In this respect alone, how much inferior is Pierre to Washington?
After facilitating this deal, in return, the U.S. government handed over all the saltpeter refining business to the DuPont family, and they have since been on the thigh of the U.S. government, and the business in the United States has become popular.This is the Dupont family.Although the DuPont family was a bit opportunistic in the beginning, how many people were able to broker a land purchase deal between two governments?
Besides, the United States is a place where people eat people, and if the DuPont family itself did not have that ability and strength, how could it have been able to persist in the United States for more than 200 years and prosper?
Thanks to the information explosion of later generations, the DuPont family, which was extremely mysterious in the past, is actually not so mysterious in Yang Jing's eyes, so Yang Jing knows a lot of things that the DuPont family did before.The DuPont family's promotion of the purchase of French Louisiana by the United States was only the beginning of the rise of the DuPont family, and the descendants of Pierre DuPont also made many great things
