East Coast, U.S. Headquarters, Lockheed, Maryland. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

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

"I didn't expect you to say yes to our invitation so quickly. "Actually, I also know that the field of chemistry is very different from electronic engineering, and although you have helped us a lot in the programming of avionics systems, the category of explosives is a different matter," he said very enthusiastically. ”

Now that I know it, I still sent out an invitation, which is actually very revealing. Alice smiled secretly in her heart, and glanced at the shareholders behind Lockheed, all of whom were elderly, and there would be 100% school-age children in the family.

"It's easy to understand this, like a lot of people who know about technology, they will definitely not know about my achievements in the field of literature. In these days, the ability to obtain information is much more convenient than in ancient times, and in the Middle Ages, there were all-rounders like Leonardo da Vinci, so what am I worth?"

The girl spread her hands and spoke in a shrill voice, but it drew unanimous laughter from the escorts.

As he spoke, seven people were seated, and a shareholder in his forties spoke: "Many entrepreneurs like to express their ideas by publishing books, but not many people use popular novels. Miss Wang, your explanation of magic in that Harry Potter book is entirely based on a very profound knowledge of microscopic physics and chemistry, which I can see best. ”

Alice's involvement in the arms company's business was achieved primarily through Oren Lockheed and several technology executives, with limited knowledge at the shareholder level. Seeing that the man who opened his mouth was full of energy, obviously out of high society, and even more so from the sensitive identity of Lockheed's shareholder, I really couldn't help but wonder.

"Forgive me for the taste, who are you?"

The man smiled calmly: "Bonis Dupont, I wonder how much Miss Wang knows about our family's consortium?"

Alice had a sudden expression: "No wonder, the century-old DuPont family made its fortune from gunpowder, and now it is also the owner of a leading enterprise in the chemical field." As a member of the family, it is only fitting that you, as a shareholder of Lockheed, could not be better. ”

It is really surprising that it is one of the top 10 conglomerates in the United States.

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

Indeed, DuPont, Morgan, Rockefeller, the so-called world's top ten conglomerates or the existence of Japan's ****, although famous, it is easy for people to associate it with conspiracy theories, in fact, they have always stayed in those century-old livelihoods.

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

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

I couldn't help but pass through the book "Currency Wars" from 2007 in my mind, Alice couldn't help but smile bitterly, to say that this brain is really a common characteristic of all human beings.

The meeting officially began, and the meeting that allowed a full five shareholders to appear on the stage will certainly not be a short discussion of parents. In the field of gunpowder, this proposal was made by Bonis DuPont, and as the CEO, Oren Jr. immediately thought of inviting Alice over to talk about it.

"Lockheed is highly skilled in the field of navigation electronics, and the Trident submarine-launched missile and the Hercules intercontinental missile have also received high orders from the Ministry of Defense. But after all, they belong to the strategic field of arms, and now, the company intends to develop into the field of conventional missiles and bombs as well. ”

I guess that's the purpose of Bonis-DuPont's stake. According to Oren's timely introduction, Alice learned that although the DuPont family has a history of investing in Lockheed, the person in front of her joined half a year ago.

"Of course, we can't force Miss Wang to show a high level of chemistry just because she has written a novel. But there have been rumors in the industry recently that you seem to be planning to set up a medical company in cooperation with a wealthy businessman in Hong Kong. Biology and chemistry are two closely related fields, so we thought you would definitely be interested in this project. ”

The official speech was full of smiles, and Alice listened with satisfaction, and after DuPont and Lockheed Jr. had expressed their opinions, she said unhurriedly.

"Well...... As it turned out, I was really interested in the project, otherwise I wouldn't have come over. ”

The scene ushered in a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, and in the following time, DuPont gave Alice a detailed introduction to the company's related business.

Yes, Bonis-DuPont is introducing Alice. After all, she is not just a simple technical consultant, while holding a certain amount of shares in Lockheed, she is much better than someone in the DuPont family just by looking at her personal value. Even in the eyes of the old capitalists, the people of Silicon Valley are just some new nouveau riche, but history proves that they were not all new nouveau riche in the old society.

They are all smart people, and they all know how to get their bodies right.

"At present, there are about nine ammunition factories in the U.S. ammunition industry, and more than a dozen manufacturers of explosives and propellants, as well as their supporting enterprises. Of these nine ammunition enterprises, three are state-owned and six are state-owned. It includes the Army Lake City Ammunition Factory, the Iowa Army Ammunition Factory, the Axin Manufacturing Company, the Primmax Technology Company, the Alente Technology Systems Company, the Sako Military Products Company, the CIC International Company, the Pine Bluff Arsenal, the Ronstar Army Ammunition Factory, the Mississippi Ammunition Factory, the Milan Army Ammunition Factory, etc.......

It's a long list, and Alice admires it, because DuPont memorized these lists by heart.

"They're producers, but presumably ...... Haha, Miss Wang realized, yes, most of the gunpowder recipes came from DuPont. After all, we started by making explosives, and there is no reason to lose our old business in this era. ”

Speaking of which, of course, Alice can also think that those state-owned and private enterprises will inevitably have a stake in DuPont. In this day and age, it is impossible for a consortium to show its presence as blatantly as Standard Oil once was, but thanks to a series of reforms such as the separation of ownership and management rights in the fifties and sixties, it has become very easy for companies to hold shares in each other.

"So, these are the basic facts about what we at DuPont do in the field of explosives. It includes the explosive components of various types of artillery shells, missiles, and bombs currently used by the U.S. Army, Air Force, and Navy. ”

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

“…… I said," she patted the top one and said, "Is there a floppy disk version? ”

The floppy disk is in a separate pouch. Of course, Alice hasn't forgotten what era it is, not to mention USB disks, even if this so-called floppy disk, you really can't count on how big its capacity is. However, if you want to say that it is still possible to fit so many two or three thousand pages of information, a small pack is enough.

"New explosives research and development, I followed this project. ”

"The board of directors can rest assured that the investment money will arrive on time," she said. As for me, can I really delve into anything new from Mr. DuPont's information......

The girl's smile was extremely ambiguous, and the adult men at the scene chuckled again.

"Of course, it depends on fate~"

It wasn't at this time that the morning board meeting was over, and it was time for Oren Lockheed to lead the crowd to lunch.

This is not a project meeting between companies, the company has a regular board meeting, and don't forget that it's still the end of the year. At the dinner table, everyone is considered their own people in the current environment, so as soon as the topic is opened, all kinds of chatters from all over the world immediately begin.

"Mr. DuPont," said Alice, holding the orange juice in her glass, "last year's Nobel laureate in chemistry, Charles Peterson, should be the scientist of your consortium, right?"

Tasting the wine, Bonis-Dupont's eyebrows flashed with deep surprise: "Miss Wang actually even has this information, that's right, he is the research institute of a medical research laboratory under my consortium." Miss Wang asked what it was ......"

The answer, of course, is self-evident: "I am an umbrella company registered in the UK, and I expect the market target to be Europe. But if there are DuPont consortium peers to pave the way in the United States, I believe it will definitely make its development smoother. So, Bonice, maybe you can discuss a little with the people within the group, the possibility of us working together******* Lisy said the last sentence lightly, but the corners of her mouth were already happy and smug smiles.

The comprehensive strength of the DuPont consortium is very strong, and of course it is not stuck in the fields of explosives, nylon, rubber, paint, etc., and its development in the field of bioengineering should not be underestimated. Although non-professionals rarely pay attention to the fundamental source of a certain drug, and getting sick is just a piece of aspirin, but what ordinary consumers are exposed to is, of course, only the end of the industry.

This conversation was just one of the statements that the seven members of the board of directors kept exchanging, but it was also listened to by Oren Lockheed.

It seems that this girl who started in Silicon Valley is going to completely enter the heavy industry industry?
