Chapter 570 Because We're All Americans

New York, USA

He Zuoming, the general manager of the watchman, steadily came to the door of the conference room, gently pushed open the door of the conference room, and saw that the conference room was already full of more than 30 senior personnel of the company. Nia Lang was sitting on the side of the first place to take on the record-taker

After several years of growth, Shouwang has grown into a huge conglomerate with more than 53,000 employees and more than 3 billion assets. The company's main business items are silk fabrics, household appliances, cars and a series of products. The products are exported widely throughout the United States and Europe, especially the stockings produced by the watch company are one of the essential equipment that every woman must carry.

Such a large group is naturally the object of concern of the US government and other interest groups, especially in recent times, many companies have asked for the right to make stockings to the watchman, including the famous DuPont consortium.

This home is made by Irene . DuPont, which was established by DuPont and was almost in sync with the history of the United States, was one of the top ten conglomerates in the United States, and DuPont, the stockings that sold well, was also the most unwilling one. DuPont as early as 1935 researcher Gerald . Burchett and Wallace. Carothers discovered nylon, a new "synthetic silk". After years of intense development, just when it was about to be completed in 1938, it was cut off by the Shouwang Company, which preemptively registered the patent, and then took the lead in selling it in the United States.

However, with the big sale of the stockings of the watch company, the official set identity of the Chinese government behind the watch company has gradually surfaced, and the DuPont consortium found that the boss behind the watch company pointed to Su Tong, the supreme ruler of China, after careful inquiry and visit, such a strong set also made the DuPont consortium a little jealous, but the senior management of the DuPont consortium with a keen sense of smell recently found that the attitude of the upper echelons of the United States towards China has changed, and the DuPont consortium, which was originally uneasy about its duties, began to stretch its fists in its heart.

Just two days ago, the DuPont consortium openly sent people to contact He Zuoming, asking the watch company to agree to DuPont to join the production and sales of stockings, which is why this meeting was held today to discuss.

After He Zuoming walked in, everyone in the company stood up and paid tribute to the founder of the company.

He Zuoming smiled and bowed to everyone and slowly sat down, and said: "Okay, I invite you to come here today to discuss one thing, that is, the DuPont consortium sent a proposal to our company a few days ago, which requires our company to authorize them to allow the DuPont consortium to also produce nylon stockings, and in return, the DuPont consortium will pay us a one-time patent right of 15 million US dollars for a total of 17 years, I want to know what everyone thinks about this matter?" ”

As soon as He Zuoming's words came out, there was a little chaos below, and many people showed angry looks on their faces, and the DuPont consortium's bid of fifteen million US dollars was really harsh, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was too much of a deception. Now that the annual sales of the watch company in the stockings have reached 300 million US dollars, the DuPont company only paid 15 million yuan to buy the patent rights of the stockings for 17 years, which can be described as a robber.

A middle-aged man in his forties, whose hair had already shown gray color, stood up and asked, "Boss, I can't believe that such a harsh condition was proposed by DuPont?" Could it be that the heads of the top brass of the DuPont consortium are collectively rusty? Or do they think that the people in our company have had a collective stroke and are too late to think effectively? ”

The person who spoke was Mr. Jack, the sales director of the watchman company, and one of the veterans of the watchman company.

"Oh! Jack, I also hope it was a DuPont prank, but the letter was actually from DuPont, and it was signed by their president, Mr. Ramon G. DuPont. He Zuoming shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Gentlemen, let's take a look, this is the agreement sent by DuPont." Kathryne, show it all to the gentlemen. ”

When Kathling delivered the photocopied agreement to the people present, everyone finally believed this ridiculous fact, and many people immediately came to the conclusion that the DuPont consortium was crazy, otherwise they would not have sent such a ridiculous agreement.

Compared with the sneers and disdain of many people about this agreement, several Huaxia people and Jack and several other high-level executives in the conference room frowned, and they had already sniffed a trace of conspiracy from this agreement. Because no businessman in his right nerve would write such a ridiculous agreement, the so-called abnormal must be a demon, and if DuPont can write such a discriminatory agreement and send it to the watch company, then it must contain conspiracy and actions that they are not aware of.

"Damn arms estimators, how dare they make such a ridiculous deal, they don't know that if we give them that we are going to lose two to three hundred million dollars a year in sales?" The company's technical consultant Ma Jean. Director Lila said, shaking his head.

Majan. Lira was talking about DuPont's aggressive arms sales during World War I, and DuPont made a lot of money by selling arms during World War I. In order to wash away his reputation as a "seller of death" in World War I, DuPont once had a "wonderful" dissection that can be used as a portrayal of his heart: "The general perception of an arms manufacturer is that it is vicious, brutal, hated peace, and has contempt for the search for peace." These people do their best to fan the flames between nations and gloat over the conflicts that ensu, which generate huge profits for their arms companies. I think that's the general perception of arms manufacturers, when in fact it's a common misconception." Later, DuPont said bluntly: "War, whether domestic or foreign, we are waiting anytime and anywhere, because it has discovered the market for gunpowder." ”

When the angry corporate executives calmed down, they realized that this time they were facing a consortium with close ties to both the political and military in the United States, and the depth of the foundations of this consortium in the United States was by no means comparable to that of the four-year-old Watchman. Since they can write such a seemingly brain-dead agreement and send it to the company, then they must rely on it, and if the watch company does not promise, then it will definitely be suppressed by DuPont in all aspects.

Meanwhile, in a New York country house, the current president of the DuPont consortium, Lamon G. DuPont, was working with his nephew, Williams. Dupont walks in the back garden of the villa.

After accompanying his uncle for a while, Williams couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, did you really write that agreement?" Why are you writing this way and this?"

"This seems like an absurd agreement, doesn't it?" Lamon G. Dupont asked with a smile and a look at his nephew.

"Yes, I don't believe that any person with the slightest sense would write such an agreement, which would make our DuPont family a laughing stock in the entire American business community." Williams was very unrequited by his uncle's actions.

"Son, today I'm going to give you a lesson that you don't have at school, and you have to remember that anything that doesn't seem reasonable in the general context is accompanied by a conspiracy behind it," said Lamingg, who was still in college. It doesn't matter who planned it, but it will bind you like a shackle. ”

"Uncle, are you planning a conspiracy against the Watch Company?"

"Oh no!" Rameng shook his head, "This matter has nothing to do with me, I'm just an executor, but I don't mind taking some advantage of it." ”

Williams was a little confused when he heard this, and he asked puzzledly: "Uncle, your words have confused me, can you tell me in detail?" ”

"Williams, you're one of the best of our DuPont family's younger generation, so I should teach you some tools too." "What do you think is the most important reason why our DuPont family can be among the top ten consortia in the United States? ”

"Our business philosophy, our integrity, our inextricable ties with the U.S. government, or our consortium's own capabilities, and so on." Williams said with some uncertainty.

"Nope! You are wrong, dear Williams. Lameng shook his head, "You forgot the most important point, which is also a common denominator of the top ten American consortia!" That is, our top ten consortia are all run by Americans! This is also the reason why the U.S. government is also willing to closely integrate the interests and future of the country with ours, and this matter was originally instructed by the above, otherwise you would really think that I would be so stupid? ”

"Ahh

Williams was taken aback when he heard this, "Uncle, the Watch Company is at best a company that sells stockings, although they have made some money over the years, but the tool of stockings can't help but cause any harm to the peace of the United States, if the U.S. government suppresses foreign companies just for the sake of making money for others, then spreading the word will ruin the image of democracy and freedom accumulated by the United States for hundreds of years!" ”ro@
