"You, Oriental Boy, what do you mean by that?" Henry Dupont had a vague feeling in his heart, could it be the two bastards of Lavrin Rand and Hazard...... He couldn't imagine it anymore.

"Haha, Mr. Dupont, you've missed the perfect opportunity to sell for a high price. Today, it's only $14 million! I ask again, to sell or not to sell? Sheng Xuanhuai looked unusually arrogant, and he looked polite just now, but his face changed suddenly.

"Bastard! Oriental boy, you make it clear to me! You've been in contact with two bastards, Lavrin Rand and Hazard? The more Henry DuPont thought about it, the more panicked he became: "Are they willing to sell you the gunpowder company they found?" ”

"$13.5 million!"

"Shet! Oriental boy, your conspiracy, I won't believe it! ”

"$13 million!"

“......”

Sheng Xuanhuai continued to lower the offer for the acquisition of DuPont Gunpowder, and Eluttado Ire, who was next to him, finally couldn't help it, and he ran out.

And Sheng Xuanhuai and Henry DuPont are still talking to themselves and continue to see-saw.

When Sheng Xuanhuai said $8 million, Élutado Eray finally led two other major shareholders of DuPont, Samuel DuPont and Lamotte DuPont, into Henry Dupont's office.

Samuel DuPont pleaded directly with Sheng Xuanhuai: "Sell to you, Mr. Sheng, sell it to you for $13 million, and all the assets of our DuPont company will be sold to Erma Gunpowder." ”

Henry Dupont angrily looked at his own brother, grabbed Samuel Dupont and yelled: "Samuel, are you crazy? And you, Lamotte, Ire, are you all crazy? In my capacity as a member of the DuPont family, I am announcing that I will kick you out of the family and confiscate all your shares. ”

"Enough! Henry, do you think you really are the supreme emperor? We've had enough of you all these years, even if you're my own brother! Samuel Dupont, who has always been honest, also flares up, and is more irritable than Henry in a rage: "From now on, you are no longer our head of the house!" Not even a member of our Dupont family! We have already discussed just now, the removal of your head of the family, there is no need for such trouble, it is for the sake of you that I am my brother, so I beg to give you one last chance, but I didn't expect you to be so stubborn and dictatorial! We have decided to sell DuPont Gunpowder Company in its entirety to Erma Gunpowder Company, which is represented by Mr. Sheng! ”

"Bastard, how can you do this? Selling the family inheritance, are you still worthy of your ancestors, and are you worthy of our DuPont family? Henry DuPont roared angrily: "Even if they are strong, they are just getting started, our DuPont family has been in the gunpowder business for more than 60 years, and we are really afraid that they will not succeed, and it will be a big deal!" ”

Lamot Dupont sneered: "Uncle Henry, you may not have received the news yet, the second-ranked Lavrin Rand Gunpowder Company and the third-ranked Hazard Gunpowder Company in the United States have actually been sold to the Erma Gunpowder Company in their entirety, but the news has not been released." The fourth-ranked Oriental Gunpowder Company still wanted to compete with the Erma Gunpowder Company, but it did not expect that the current Erma Company directly launched the black powder with low profits and completely controlled the saltpeter market in the entire Americas. In another month, there will be no saltpeter raw material supply, and although our DuPont company is better, the saltpeter stock is only enough for three months.

Our gunpowder costs $0.4 a pound, costs $0.17, and makes a profit of $0.23. But Erma has secretly launched black powder, which is converted to 0.2 US dollars per pound, and the order has been signed for nearly 10 million pounds, which has almost exhausted the annual gunpowder demand of the entire Americas. In other words, DuPont and other gunpowder companies will hardly receive orders in the next year, unless we can make the price of black powder lower than that? In that case, we're at a loss!

And, that's just one aspect. Do you remember that we found from the west coast of South America that look like guano on the surface is actually sodium nitrate saltpeter raw materials, replacing the potassium nitrate saltpeter mine imported from India, which brings us huge profits, but now, this secret South American saltpeter raw materials are controlled, as well as Indian saltpeter raw materials are also controlled, almost the world's main saltpeter raw materials, can only be purchased from the two horse company. Tell me, how can the gunpowder industry go on? ”

Henry Dupont was stunned: "This, this can't be!" ”

He couldn't figure out what the origin of this Erma company could control the whole world's saltpeter ore raw materials in his hands, and how could it compete with it? Originally, he relied on DuPont's connections and gunpowder technology, and another main reason for his confidence was the cheap saltpeter raw material, because only he DuPont had the mastery of transporting some struvite deposits from the remote west coast of South America, which could be refined into sodium nitrate after further processing and purification, which could not only replace potassium nitrate saltpeter produced in India, but also produced gunpowder of better quality. But now, why this secret related to the fundamental interests of DuPont has also been discovered by the newly established Erma Gunpowder Company, Henry DuPont believes that this secret, neither La Motte nor Samuel will reveal it, so he looks angrily at his henchman Élutaido Erey.

Lamotte Dupont seemed to see through Henry's mind and said, "Don't think about it, it's not what we revealed." It was the Erma Company itself that discovered the secret. They were even one step ahead of us at DuPont, discovering large quantities of sodium saltpeter directly in the North Grande region of South America, all over the place. No, it's not Erma Gunpowder Company, it should be called Erma Mining Company, they must have known where the minerals are, and it only took three or four months to quickly seize the saltpeter mine, mobilize the Chileans around to mine it, and take advantage of the delay time difference in the inventory of saltpeter to quickly bring it to the market.

The business of the black powder market is like this, whoever masters the saltpeter raw material is the king! ”

Sheng Xuanhuai clapped his hands and said, "Mr. Lamotte's analysis is very good!" But our Erma Gunpowder Company is much more than that! The Erma Mining Company controls the saltpeter mines in Chile, not for black powder, but for other purposes. As you may already know, our Erma Gunpowder Company has launched more than one new type of explosives, and these new explosives have been mass-produced, and the power will be several times that of black powder, so the era of black powder will slowly shrink and die out within ten years. The future will be the era of new gunpowder.

Therefore, DuPont Gunpowder at a price of $13 million, in fact, you are not at a loss! On the contrary, it is our second horse company that suffers. However, for the sake of Mr. Lamotte's willingness to join our Erma Gunpowder Company, I agreed, and the deal was sold for $13 million!

By the way, in a month's time, we will hold the inaugural meeting of the American Gunpowder Association in San Francisco, and Mr. Henry, if it is convenient, you can come and attend the meeting, and the Erma Gunpowder Company will announce the quota of the market share of the American Gunpowder Company and the quota of saltpeter supply in the capacity of president. After all, you are still a well-known figure in the American gunpowder industry, so you must come to cheer. ”

Henry was stunned: Isn't this exactly what he had envisioned in the first place, the establishment of a gunpowder trust?
