Thomas Clermont DuPont, one of the Big Three of DuPont in the United States and now president of DuPont, looked at the tall Germanic people on either side with a smile.

They are here to welcome them.

Thomas's visit to Germany was originally just a normal business dealing. It was already normal for G. Farben to come to receive them, but he did not expect that even the German Führer, during the war, would actually receive him!

Now, here is the capital of the Führer, the Führer of Germany, the master of the European continent, and here, a banquet is held to entertain him!

There was a red carpet on the floor, and at the end of the carpet, Ciric and his wife were greeting the American visitors.

"Mr. Thomas, very welcome to Germany." In terms of age, Thomas is more than twenty years older than Shirek, but, in terms of status, Shirek is absolutely superior.

At this time, Ciric lowered his posture and naturally won Thomas's favor.

Ciric's wife also warmly welcomed Thomas's wife, and there seemed to be more topics to talk about between women and women.

"It's a great honor." "We are now interested in doing business with Germany as the most powerful country on the European continent," Thomas said. ”

Thomas couldn't help but remember that when Ciric first landed in the United States more than ten years ago, he didn't care about this little guy at all, and now, he has become the head of the empire.

Now, it is clear that France is going to lose, and Germany, having defeated its old enemy France, is the most powerful presence on the European continent.

"DuPont is unique in the chemical industry." "We also have a lot of respect for DuPont, and I believe we have more areas to work with," said Ciric. ”

The two sides sat down, and in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, the negotiations began.

DuPont, starting from the production of gunpowder, has gradually become a large company in the global chemical field, and there are many products under DuPont, which are of interest to Germany.

For example, synthetic rubber technology and nylon technology.

In 1930, DuPont researchers Arnold Collins and Wallace Carothers invented a universal synthetic rubber, neoprene.

In 1935, researchers Gerald Burchett and Wallace Roses invented nylon, a new "synthetic silk". After years of intense development, nylon was finally presented to the public at the 1939 New York World's Fair.

Both technologies are necessary for Germany.

Germany lacks many resources, rubber is one of them, and Ciric's pursuit of rubber is also tireless.

It wasn't until after Ciric's trip to the East that rubber was obtained from China and Southeast Asia, where there were many rubber plantations operated by overseas Chinese, which was a temporary solution to the problem, but it was still risky.

After all, the East is too far away, and Germany's ocean shipping is at risk of being cut off.

Rubber is different from other resources, such as iron ore or something, you can store more, but rubber is not good.

Because the storage period of natural rubber is limited, it is only one year, and it is discarded.

Germany has carried out a certain degree of solution, Germany's important chemical company Farben, has developed reclaimed rubber technology: that is, the use of chemical methods, has become waste rubber, expired rubber for chemical treatment, from which to obtain 70-80% of the natural rubber function of reclaimed rubber.

However, this alone is not enough, and it is absolutely necessary to use chemical technology to synthesize rubber from petroleum.

Anyway, now, Germany doesn't have to worry about oil, there is a lot of oil, and synthetic rubber is also possible.

Another, nylon, in addition to being used as a raw material for clothes, parachutes, aircraft tire cord fabrics, etc., are widely used, and, through the injection molding process, can be plastic instead of steel, iron, copper and other metals, is an important engineering plastic, can be applied to a variety of mechanical equipment, greatly reducing the consumption of non-ferrous metals.

Historically, DuPont has sold these things to Germany, and now, why not?

Ciric's level of hospitality has made the other party accept it psychologically, and then, from the perspective of a businessman, he impresses the other party with benefits.

"We are very impressed with the technology you have developed, and we want to get it, no matter how high the price you offer, we can accept it." At this time, Ciric was like a big wrongdoer: "In addition, we can also cooperate and produce together, for example, you can form a joint company with our Farben, the base can be set up in France, our army, there are a lot of orders." ”

Founded in 1904, Farben is a partnership between three German chemical, pharmaceutical and dye companies, followed by five more.

In August 1925, at the suggestion of Bosch, the eight companies formally formed Farben, the "Dye Industry Interest Group", with Bosch as chairman of the board.

Farben supported Hitler in his vigorous social activities and provided large grants to help him campaign.

And after seizing power in Germany, Farben also reaped great rewards.

At present, the main monopoly capital in Germany, such as Krupp, United Iron and Steel Corporation, IG Farben, Siemens and Electric Corporation, etc., has developed by leaps and bounds.

Especially in war. Historically, IG Farben produced synthetic fuels and synthetic rubber in large quantities and was the main logistical support for the German war.

So, there are even Americans who say: "Without IG Farben, there would be no Hitler's war".

At the same time, Farben also received high returns, and for every area the Germans captured, IG Farben took possession of the chemical plants there.

Now, Ciric's attitude has been made clear, if DuPont is willing to sell these technologies, then DuPont will also have a part in those chemical plants in Paris!

France, but it is an important industrial country with many chemical plants, and if DuPont can get its hands on it, it will also get more benefits! Even if there is no order from the military, just the civilian side, it is enough for them to make a lot of money.

For such an offer, Thomas had no chance of refusing at all.

"We are willing to cooperate with Germany to expand our business together." Thomas said.

He came this time to do business, and now, there are things that are beneficial to both parties, so why not do it?
