Chen Jianqiu took off his hat and patted the snow on his body.

He threw his coat to the men behind him and said to them, "Stay outside the door, and I'll go in." ”

Chen Jianqiu walked to the vacant seat opposite Henry.

The chair was removed.

He glanced at a person behind a company representative next to him.

The man was stunned by Chen Jianqiu.

He caught a glimpse of the golden revolver at the man's waist.

Then, he stood up and obediently sent the chair to Chen Jianqiu.

"Thank you." Chen Jianqiu smiled at him.

The man didn't dare to look directly into Chen Jianqiu's eyes, lowered his head and retreated to his position, standing behind the representative of his company.

Chen Jianqiu sat down with a big grin and crossed Erlang's legs.

"Keep talking." He pulled out a cigar and looked at the crowd with a smile.

"This is a meeting within the Gunpowder Association, please get out!" Henry Dupont suppressed his anger and said.

"Smack!"

A delicate hard invitation was thrown onto the table.

Chen Jianqiu took a cigar in his mouth, smiling without smiling, "I'm not uninvited." ”

The invitation bears the badge of the Gunpowder Association, which does not appear to be a forgery.

Old Henry's anger "rubbed" up, and he looked around at the people seated:

"Who invited him?" He yelled.

The representatives of the various companies are still looking at me, and I am looking at you.

The old man's gaze finally fell on old Hadze's face.

Old Hadzer did not go to see Henry.

"Yes, that's an invitation from me." "However, this is not my opinion alone. ”

The eyes of the representatives of the company who raised their hands just now also looked here.

They stand with the Hadze company.

"So what?" Old Henry's face was full of mockery.

"You also saw the results of the vote just now. Just a few of you crooked melons and cracked dates, you also want to fight against DuPont?! ”

He pointed at Chen Jianqiu: "As long as I'm still here, he won't want to enter the Gunpowder Association!" ”

Chen Jianqiu smiled.

"I didn't want to join the Gunpowder Association, this kind of association nominally unites the industry, but in fact it is the trust of your DuPont family, and in the future, you won't even give soup to others."

The people in the room began to talk again.

The heart of DuPont is known to passers-by.

It's just that no one has ever brought it up in person within the Gunpowder Association.

"So, what can you do?" Old Henry said arrogantly.

"We intend to form a new association called the International Gunpowder Association."

"As long as I am willing to join in, I am willing to share the technology of smokeless gunpowder for free, and lead everyone to open up new markets! For example, Europe, Asia"

Chen Jianqiu stood up and walked to the window.

He opened the curtains, wiped the mist from the window with his hand, tapped the glass lightly with his fingertips, and pointed to the building opposite.

"It's on the other side."

Old Henry finally understood where the stone lion he had just seen came from.

"What a big breath! It's up to you? With DuPont's current size, crushing you is as easy as crushing an ant. His face was full of disdain.

In his eyes, this western hillbilly, a yellow-skinned Asian, is not qualified to stand on the same track with him.

"What if you add me?" Hadzer narrowed his eyes and looked at Henry.

"And me!"

The other companies in the hall began to take a stand, and in addition to Hadzer and those who had previously voted by a show of hands, some of the other companies that had expressed neutrality also began to hesitate.

After all, the future is smokeless gunpowder, and DuPont has not been able to solve the problem of raw materials until now.

For a time, the solidarity in the hall came and went, and there was a great tendency for wildfires to burn the prairies.

"Good, good, good." Henry Dupont said yes three times in a row, and his gaze became fierce.

He winked at the man next to him.

The attendant understood, walked out of the window, and made a gesture downstairs.

Soon there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

The faces of the people in the hall suddenly changed drastically, and even Hadze, who had been calm and calm from the beginning, had a trace of nervousness on his face.

Henry DuPont was a man who could do anything.

As a man of considerable prestige, he has been trying to make his business practices a little more "civilized" in recent years.

What's more, this is still in New York.

But no one can forget what he did to his competitors back then.

Henry Dupont sat down and said no more.

The attendant beside him spoke:

"DuPont sincerely hopes that everyone will think about it again and not regret it when the time comes."

Old Henry didn't actually plan to shoot and kidnap people in New York, he just wanted to remind everyone here how this gunpowder association came to be.

Threat is a kind of pressure.

"Smack!"

Another bang.

Everyone in the hall was taken aback.

They found two glittering gold revolvers lying on the table.

Chen Jianqiu leaned forward with a cigar in his mouth, crossed his hands on the table, and looked directly at Henry Dupont opposite.

The two golden revolvers were at his hand, and the muzzles of the guns were facing the opposite side.

"What are you going to do?!" Henry's entourage became nervous, and he opened his mouth to call someone.

In the civilized world, even an organization of merchants selling arms has no reason to bring a gun into the venue.

This man not only brought it, but also brought two.

"We people in the west don't like to fight and kill."

Chen Jianqiu paused.

"But if anyone dares to threaten my friend, I'll screw his head off."

He was sharp-eyed, aggressive, and spoke loudly.

Old Henry and this junior made eye contact, sparks and lightning.

He never expected it.

He took over from his father in his thirties, and went through the Civil War, the Westward Expansion Movement, and the 72-year financial crisis.

He worked hard for the rest of his life, worked hard, and finally unified the industry.

The DuPont empire was in its infancy.

There are very few heroes left who grabbed territory with themselves at the beginning, and countless opponents dissipate in front of their eyes like a passing cloud;

Now, when he was dying, a yellow-skinned young man sat opposite him and challenged his throne.

There was a messy noise outside the door, but it quickly subsided.

The door was opened.

Doctor Holiday held a pistol to the head of a man dressed in black,

The rest of the people were all cut off their hands and feet, and they were firmly controlled by the people brought by Chen Jianqiu, and their faces were like ashes.

Their weapons were scattered at their feet, and it was not known whether they had dropped themselves or had been shot down.

The people in the hall were a little uneasy when they saw this scene.

This is, the fire merged?

"Mr. Chen, this group of people stormed the venue with weapons and were caught by us."

Holiday raised her eyebrows and winked at Chen Jianqiu.

Chen Jianqiu!! This is not New Mexico!! ”

Old Henry roared with rage, like thunder.

"Smack!"

The table in the conference hall made the third crunch of the day, startling everyone in the hall to shrink their necks.

Chen Jianqiu slapped the table with a rare slap.

The whole table was shaking, and the papers on it were raised and scattered to the ground.

He shouted at old Henry-for-tat:

"This isn't a Delaware !! either"

Old Henry didn't move, but the entourage around him involuntarily took two steps back, and their faces turned pale.

"We are detectives from the Border Detective Agency, entrusted by Boss Chen to protect his safety and the safety of you."

Holiday showed off his identification and permission to carry a gun.

"I said, no one can touch a single hair of you!" Chen Jianqiu looked at Old Hadze and the other representatives of the small company.

"I am announcing that Hadzer will withdraw from the American Gunpowder Association with immediate effect."

Old Hadzer stood up and solemnly announced.

"Let's quit too!" A representative of a small company sitting close to Chen Jianqiu also stood up.

He glared at Henry with red eyes and gritted his teeth.

"I'll never forget everything you did to my father!"

After their safety was assured, other small companies rose up and came forward to accuse DuPont of the crimes.

Know that in the end, the meeting turned into an invective against DuPont and Henry himself.

Old Henry's military experience has long been his iron will.

But now all this in front of him gave him a sense of powerlessness.

Just like he couldn't see the future after Ramon's death.

For the first time in history, his hands began to tremble slightly.

"Your time is over! Old stuff! The remnants of the old world will not be able to board the ship for the new era! ”

Chen Jianqiu stood up.

Under his leadership, all the company representatives who withdrew from the association left.

The conference hall suddenly became empty.

"Sir, sir."

Henry's retinue whispered beside the old man.

Yet, without warning, old Henry fell straight up.

"Sir? Master! ”

"Doctor! Doctor! Master~"
