"I've heard that a political rule is emerging in China, and that power in the country is being held by a group of engineers. ”

"Engineers in power? God, this is a barbaric country!"

"Yes, a real modern country should be governed by a lawyer who understands the law!"

"Ahem, oh, of course, of course!"

"Those in power should fully listen to the voices of the people, especially—"

"Wall Street's!"

"Haha, that's right!"

Edgar picked up half a glass of champagne from the waiter's plate, nodded to a few familiar customers, and then walked slowly to the window, looking down at the scenery outside the window.

The street is lit up at night, and the street, which is only about 500 meters long and no more than 11 meters wide, is only seven blocks from Broadway in New York to the East River.

However, such a short, narrow street has a name that has made the world thunderous, and it has become the city's calling card, just like the big bronze bull that Edgar now looks at.

That's right, the name of this street is the legendary world's largest abyss of sin - Wall Street.

Being able to host a social dinner in a building next to Wall Street was not an easy task for Edgar and his family either.

Of course, if you just want to borrow a piece of Wall Street land, it is not too difficult, as long as you are willing to pay for it.

But if you want to have a decent social dinner, you don't just have to be willing to spend money, you have to be extra rich yourself.

Edgar's family certainly had no such influence. But with the help of Motorola and for some reason. Today's guests will not look shabby compared to other banquets.

Especially when Edgar's father, Edgar Sr., walked into the banquet hall with a young man. The entire banquet hall suddenly had a buzzing and low exchange, and many eyes fell on him.

And the young man seemed to be accustomed to this kind of scene, and was gossiping with old Edgar for a while.

Although everyone's eyes in the banquet hall turned on this young man from time to time, the reserved upper-class banquet was not so reckless. It was only when the elder Edgar enthusiastically introduced some special people to him that someone would show a "deeply honored" expression and talk to the young man a little.

"This is my son, David Edgar, who is currently working in the legal department of Motorola and is an attorney at Edgar & Hoover LLP. ”

No need to ask. One of the bosses of this Edgar & Hoover Law Firm is naturally Edgar Sr.

"Edgar, this is Mr. Hunt, Hunter DuPont. ”

Regarding the introduction of this young man, old Edgar only said this sentence. But this sentence alone is enough to convey the message, because he has such a surname in his name, Dupont.

"Hello Mr. Hunt, I'm David Edgar, and I welcome you to today's dinner, and I hope you will be satisfied with our hospitality. ”

"Oh. Nothing satisfying, there are such things everywhere. It's dull and boring. Hunter Dupont swept little Edgar's face neatly, without the slightest sense of being a guest.

However, in the face of the young man surnamed Dupont, the two Edgars could only listen to his complaints with a smile on their faces. No way, who made the family surnamed DuPont.

The DuPont family is a very peculiar family and consortium in the United States. The DuPont consortium is not backed by the banking and finance industry, but it is among the top 10 conglomerates in the United States. The DuPont family is the same age as the American history, and it has lasted for more than 200 years, but it still holds great power over the DuPont consortium and has become a typical family trust.

Although the DuPont consortium has a smaller and smaller proportion of members of the DuPont family on the board of directors. But the decision-making power of the DuPont consortium is still firmly in the hands of the DuPont family.

The DuPont family, which has been able to survive for more than 200 years, is quite strict in cultivating the children of the family. Any child of the DuPont family who can stay in the DuPont consortium and climb to high positions has at least the capital of his pride.

Hunter Dupont was impersonal, and his language was rude and frivolous. But his current evaluation in the DuPont family is very good, and he has performed even better in the financial industry of the DuPont family's shortcomings.

As a giant in the chemical industry in the United States, Motorola wants to enter the battery industry to develop thin-film lithium water batteries, and seeking the help of DuPont is the fastest way.

Little Edgar suddenly ripped off his neat tie and drained half of the glass of champagne in one gulp. With a snap, the champagne glass in his hand came into close contact with the ground after a period of free fall.

Hunter Dupont was obviously stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and finally nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, although the banquet is as unbearable as the shroud, at least there are some interesting people." ”

Edgar Jr. clearly had his finger on the pulse of Hunter Dupont and was eager to say, "Hey, I know there's a black-owned roadside restaurant three blocks away." Listening to his family's grilled ribs, it is said that even Vice President Shimogi is full of praise. Later, I got into a lot of trouble in Washington, so I came to New York, do you want to try it?"

"Okay, is his roasting method French or American?"

"American, pure American rib grill!"

......

Next to an unknown small street in New York, a small dilapidated wooden restaurant with three open-air tables and chairs in the small courtyard next to the restaurant.

Hunter Dupont tore with his teeth and swallowed all the meat off the last rib. Not satisfied, he wiped the bread on his plate with gravy.

"Good, very good!" Hunter DuPont gave a thumbs up, apparently pleased with the grilled ribs at the "Fly House".

"I've eaten the appetizers, all right, little Mr. Edgar, shall we serve the main course?" said Hunter Dupont, wiping his hands with a tissue, his expression suddenly becoming serious.

"A Chinese, a stinky boy of about eighteen or nineteen years old will be our target. Little Edgar had already finished his share, and then he raised his spirit and said: "This kid has a technology called water lithium battery in his hand, which can reduce the price of secondary rechargeable batteries by 30% to 50%, and this new type of rechargeable battery has no memory effect, and the market prospect is quite good." ”

"Oh, a technical genius! I like little ones like this!" Hunter Dupont excited: "The most wonderful thing about capital is to quietly take control of a quality enterprise, and then kick its founder out, destroy the efforts of others, burn the life of a company, and finally continue to look for the next target with the plundered profits! And especially those simple plaid shirts, admiring their desperate expressions, are even more interesting than the most expensive opera on Broadway!"

"Yes, this self-proclaimed smart Chinese also made a patent trap, but the people in the technical department of Motorola have no way to deal with him." However, the Chinese mind limits their horizons, and the world is not determined by technology, but by law and capital. ”

"Yes, it's only capital that can decide everything. Hunter DuPont simply threw the law aside.

"Ahem, now the Chinese have a proposal to cooperate with Motorola on the third generation of this water lithium battery, that is, thin film water lithium battery." The prospect of such a battery is, in principle, simply scary. ”

"Hehe, the prospect of nuclear fusion is also very scary. Hunter was dismissive.

"It's different, it is said that the technology of this thin-film water lithium battery seems to be really feasible. ”

Little Edgar followed the temptation: "I just don't know, is DuPont interested in Motorola?"

Hunter Dupont leaned back in his chair and looked at little Edgar calmly with his hands on his chest: "DuPont is interested in any business, but at the same time, DuPont always looks at the world with a skeptical eye. ”

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point. Little Edgar decided to get straight to the point: "In order to cooperate in the water lithium battery market, Motorola and the Chinese side are likely to jointly establish a company, Motorola took out the water lithium battery patents in its hands, and the Chinese side took out a considerable part of the peripheral and core patents of water lithium batteries, as well as the US agency of King Long battery." The development of thin-film water lithium battery technology will be undertaken by this company. ”

"Well, so it's a very promising company indeed. ”

"No, as far as I know, Motorola has other plans. ”

"How?"

"Motorola is ready to leave the Chinese behind and drag the research and development progress of the third generation of water lithium battery in the joint venture, but it will start from scratch to catch up with the technological advantages of the Chinese. ”

What Edgar Jr. said was a proper Motorola trade secret, but neither side took it seriously. If the East Window incident really happened, little Edgar would have the support of the barrister father, and Hunter would have the DuPont family platform, and there would not be any too serious punishment anyway.

Hunter picked his teeth with a toothpick, pondered for a moment, and said: "Fighting on two fronts, Motorola has really put a lot of effort into it." ”

"I remember that DuPont is very advanced in polymer materials, if we can secretly acquire the shares of this company in the hands of Chinese, obtain the relevant patent rights of water lithium battery, and then DuPont will develop thin film ion permeation materials faster than Motorola." When the time comes, Motorola will face ......"

Little Edgar's words were still meaningful, but Hunter Dupont was already smiling with satisfaction.

"Yes, really, very well. ”

"Hehe, Mr. Hunt is satisfied. ”

Little Edgar sneered in his heart, Addison and Chinese, you must pay for your rude......ness!
