The businesswoman hurried upstairs, saw Duchamp, and asked: "There is one thing, I want to verify with you in person, about the technical idea of the pager, was it accidentally leaked by you?" ”

"Well, is there such a thing?"

"Look at it." Irina pulled a document out of her bag. "This is just received a letter of intent for cooperation, at present, our research and development and commissioning are still in the internal confidential stage, there is a representative from the imperial capital communication company came to the door, expressed considerable interest in this project, willing to work together."

When Duchamp heard the words 'imperial capital', he suddenly felt bad, the concept of pager has only been around for more than a month, and there is only one possibility to find the door.

"It's called Bru Vinson Communications, and it has a strong background, especially in the military. Not only did they see the potential of pagers for military use, but they were also confident in civilian promotion, and immediately put forward a plan for cross-network paging in six major cities, which was even ahead of our plan. Styry, what do you think? ”

Duchamp was nervous, and his speech was knotted. "Well, Earl Wen's daughter is in the same class as me, and when I was writing a plan in class, she read it and asked about a series of ideas, but I didn't expect her to attach so much importance to this matter, and told her family."

"Count Wen?" Irina weighed it carefully, a smile on her face. "Although it is very unpleasant for the market to be distributed to others, with such a cooperative opponent, the speed of advancement in the army is bound to be very fast, and it is difficult for others to intervene."

She immediately went downstairs, dialed a number, and instructed to stabilize the representative of the telecommunications company who had been sent to her door, and wait for her to meet her in person in the afternoon.

After hanging up the communication, Irina carefully asked about Morgana and Count Wen, but Duchamp did not know about it, and reluctantly said a few perfunctory words.

Irina heard a certain displeasure in Duchamp's words, and asked, "What's the matter, is there anything wrong with cooperating with their family?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with that, but you have to be careful. Also, I will not come forward with this project, and I will not have much intersection with their family in the future, please remember to maintain my interests in the negotiations. Also, we have to speed up the research and development in order to grasp the initiative, the list of equipment used as experiments has been listed for you for a long time, please leave it to me immediately, I want to make a prototype in the near future. ”

"The equipment is ready, I'll send someone to send it."

Irina went to arrange the equipment. Duchamp saw that Serta was glorious today, and casually complimented: "Why, you look so happy today?" Is it because the Marquise is in for a treat at noon? ”

Serta covered her mouth, laughed, leaned close to Duchamp's ear, and whispered: "Up to now, the orders for the Walkman have exceeded 10,000, and this is only the news of the headquarters, and when the orders from Crossbell and the Imperial Capital are summarized, there will be at least 30,000 in the first phase." Such a small product as the Walkman, which Irina does not like, is produced at the Rogner factory, and now my father should be happy again. ”

Only then did Duchamp realize what Serta was happy about.

As the managers of the industrial capital of Rulei, the Rogner family also invested a lot of money in industry, and in addition to the royal management of the Xaxon mining and steel mills, it also formed a considerable industrial scale.

However, the production of the Rogner family is actually dependent on the Lane Ford Society, which is equivalent to the upstream raw material supply enterprise of the Lane Ford Society.

Since Serta joined the cause of the Green Leaf Society, several of the key products of the Green Leaf Society, such as stoves, refrigerators, washing machines, hair dryers, and safety razors, have been produced in cooperation with the Rogner factory, bringing new vitality to the factory, and Rogner Enterprises has even set up a new department to be responsible for the production of the Green Leaf Society's products.

Now the Green Leaf Society has added a new variety, although it is still a small household appliance, but it is better than the quantity, for the factory, the more such orders are naturally the better.

And Serta, who originally had no status in the family, is now increasingly valued, and being able to invite her grandmother and family heirs to the concert is a proof of her improved status. It's just that, the last point, Duchamp knows more vaguely.

The two chatted for a while, and Duchamp turned the subject to the Zuxon mine without a trace, asking about the mine's production and the system of selling valuable raw materials. Serta's father had been supervising the mines, so she knew that and immediately gave an overview of the situation at the Zaxon mines.

The Zaxon Mine, the largest bonanza owned by the Empire, was acquired by the Imperial Family a long time ago. The mine stretches for 800 cels, and the mountain contains abundant high-quality iron ore, in addition to the Qiyao veins flowing underground, so it also produces Qiyao and other rare ores.

Among them, the most famous is the natural crystallization of Qiyao stone of the fire system and the accumulation of black iron ore.

Black iron is an ore that is several times harder than ordinary iron ore, and the alloy made from it and ordinary ore will greatly increase its strength, which is an important reason why the equipment of the Imperial Defense Forces is superior to other countries.

Therefore, the natural sacca crystals and black iron of the Zaxon mine are under the unified management of the royal family and are not sold to the public. In addition, due to the scarcity of the Empire's Yaojing Ore, even the Yaojing Chip, a by-product obtained from mining Qiyao Stone Crystals, was uniformly blended.

After hearing this, Duchamp couldn't help frowning: "Alas, I originally planned to get some rare materials to practice my hands, but who knew that the threshold was so high!" ”

Serta asked Duchamp about the material he was interested in, and then said: "Natural crystals are hard to come by, the royal family has a special guard in the mines, and my father has always been strict with himself, so it is difficult for me to speak." But it is still possible to get a small amount of black iron out. As for the Yaowa, it's still okay to take a little bit out of other people's shares, how much do you plan to get? ”

Duchamp asked tentatively, "How much is a small amount of black iron?" It won't just be a few combes. ”

Serta narrowed her eyes, covered her mouth with a fan, and smiled: "Of course it can't be so little, but you can only get a few torims at a time, and this kind of favor will have to be separated by a year or two after one time." ”

Duchamp gasped, obediently, it turns out that the unit is calculated in tons! He seriously calculated the recent possible benefits, and said: "You go and help me inquire about the way first, since the opportunity is rare, I plan to buy about 30 million meters, including 10 million meters of Yaowa, 20 million meters of other materials, including black iron." ”

Serta easily agreed, this kind of thing to show her social connections, she has always been enthusiastic, not to mention that Duchamp wants these materials.

Seeing that there was a door to the materials, Duchamp happily calculated the construction of a private workshop in Chun Nuanju.

When renovating the Chun Nuan House, Duchamp left space for the construction of underground workshops in advance, and the floor heights were designed according to industrial needs. In the later period, he invested money to renovate and strengthen the basement for this moment.

The so-called private workshop is actually some tool tables with facades plus conductive force sources and then conductive workbenches, the key is to provide sufficient energy for the conductive workbenches.

He was calculating how much investment the underground workshop would need, when Emma ran up with her high heels and reported in a crisp voice: "Miss Serta, a young lady has seen our job posting and has come to apply for the assistant to the president. ”

"Oh!" Serta and Duchamp were happy at the same time.
