East Coast, Maryland Lockheed Corporate Headquarters.

Oren Lockheed himself, accompanied by five directors, and they welcomed Alice into the conference room.

"I really didn't expect you to agree to our invitation so quickly," he said enthusiastically. "Actually, I know that the field of chemistry is completely different from electronic engineering. Although you have helped us in programming avionics systems, the explosives category is another matter."

Since she knew about it, she still sent an invitation, which was actually very telling. Alice smiled in her heart and glanced at the shareholders behind Lockheed. They were all older people, and there were 100% children of the right age at home.

"This is easy to understand. Many people who know how busy technology are all day long will definitely not know my achievements in the field of literature. In this day, the ability to obtain information is much more convenient than that in ancient times. In the Middle Ages, they could have all the talents like Da Vinci. What is this what I can do?"

The girl spread her hands and spoke with a sharp voice, but it caused unanimous laughter from the accompanying staff.

While speaking, the seven people had already sat down, and a shareholder in his forties spoke: "Many entrepreneurs like to express their thoughts by publishing books, but not many people have passed popular novels. Miss Wang, your explanation of magic in the book "Harry Potter" is based entirely on very profound knowledge of microphysics and chemistry, which I can see best."

Alice's involvement in the arms company's business was mainly achieved through Oren Lockheed and several technical executives, and her shareholders had limited understanding. Seeing this man who spoke was energetic, it was obviously out of the upper class, and even more sensitive identity as Lockheed's shareholder, she couldn't help but feel confused.

"I'm sorry, who are you?"

The man smiled calmly and elegantly: "Bonis DuPont, I wonder how much Miss Wang knows about our family's consortium?"

Alice looked dazed: "No wonder, the DuPont family, which has a century-old history, made its fortune by gunpowder, and is now also the owner of a leading company in the chemical industry. As a member of the family, it is perfect for you to become a shareholder of Lockheed."

It is actually one of the top ten consortiums in the United States, which is really surprising.

However, Bonis DuPont smiled humbly: "Public companies, complex corporate holding relationships, and family members withering, we just have a loud name now. The 21st century is coming, and it is time for new aristocrats to take turns to make their debut."

Indeed, DuPont, Morgan, Rockefeller, the so-called world's top ten consortiums or Japan, although it is well-known and easily makes people associate it with conspiracy theories, but in fact it always stops in those century-old business.

It is true that they are a powerful enterprise alliance, and have been in the basic industry for a long time. Many people's food, clothing, housing and transportation are closely related to them. But the times are developing after all. With the implementation of a series of reforms after World War II and the birth of the Silicon Valley industry, these existences that have been around for a hundred years can only be expressed by their names.

Before World War II and after World War II, the changes in imperialist monopoly and economic globalization over the years are really dazzling.

The book "Currency War" that was still from 2007 was flashed through my mind. Alice couldn't help but smile bitterly. To say that this idea is really a common feature of all mankind.

The meeting officially began. Of course, the meeting that could bring a whole of five shareholders to the scene would not be a matter of discussion. In the field of gunpowder, this proposal was proposed by Bonis DuPont. After accepting his comprehensive proposal, Oren, a ceo, immediately thought of asking Alice to come over and talk.

"Lockheed has excellent skills in the field of navigation electronics. Trident submarine-launched missiles and Hercules intercontinental missiles have also received high orders from the Ministry of Defense. But they are arms in the strategic field after all. Now, the company plans to develop into conventional missiles and bomb fields."

I think this is the purpose of Bonis DuPont's investment. According to Oren's timely introduction, Alice learned that although the DuPont family had a history of investing in Lockheed, the one in front of him still joined half a year ago.

"Of course, we can't force Ms. Wang to show how high chemistry is just because she wrote a novel. But recently, the industry rumored that you seem to be planning to cooperate with Hong Kong wealthy businessmen to establish a medical company. Biology and chemistry are two closely related fields, so we think you will definitely be interested in this project."

The official speech was full of smiles, and Alice listened with satisfaction. After DuPont and Lockheed Jr. expressed their opinions, she said slowly.

"Well... it turns out that I am really interested in this project, otherwise I wouldn't have come here."

The scene ushered in a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere. In the following time, DuPont introduced the company's related business in detail to Alice.

Yes, Bonis DuPont is introducing Alice. After all, she is not just a simple technical consultant. While holding a certain amount of shares in Lockheed, she is much better than one of the DuPont family, just looking at her personal value. Even in the eyes of old capitalists, Silicon Valley people are just emerging nouveau riche, but history has proved that they were also emerging nouveau riche in the old society?

They are all smart people, and they all know how to correct their posture.

"At present, there are about nine ammunition factories in the US ammunition industry, and more than a dozen manufacturers of explosives and propellants, and their supporting enterprises. Among these nine ammunition companies, three are state-owned and six are state-owned private. They include the Army Lake City Ammunition Factory, Iowa Army Ammunition Factory, Axine Manufacturing Company, Primax Technology Company, Allent Technology Systems Company, Sacco Military Products Company, Cic International Company, Pine Bluff Arsenal, Lonsta Army Ammunition Factory, Mississippi Ammunition Factory, Milan Army Ammunition Factory, etc...."

What a long list, Alice also admired it because DuPont memorized these lists in a row.

"They are manufacturers, but I guess... haha, Ms. Wang realized that yes, most of the gunpowder formulas are from DuPont Group. After all, we started by making explosives, and there is no reason to lose the old business in this era."

Speaking of this place, Alice could certainly think that those state-owned private enterprises would inevitably have the DuPont Group to invest. In this era, consortiums cannot show their presence as blatantly as standard oil, but it is also thanks to a series of reforms such as "separation of ownership and management rights" in the 1950s and 1960s that it has become very easy for companies to hold shares with each other.

"So, these are the basic information of our DuPont Group in the field of explosives. It includes the explosive components of various types of shells, missiles, and bombs currently used by the U.S. Army, Air Force and Navy."

A thick stack of information was piled up in front of Alice, and it was really a thick stack of materials that could not be filled with three or four file bags.

"...I said," she patted the top of the head and said, "Is there a floppy disk version? I look faster."

The floppy disk is in another small bag. Of course, Alice has not forgotten what era it is now. Not to mention the USB flash drive, even this so-called floppy disk cannot count on how large its capacity is. However, it is still OK to put two or three thousand pages of information into it. A small package is enough.

"I'll follow this project after the new explosives research and development."

She said: "The investment funds will be made on time, so please rest assured by the board of directors. As for whether I can really find out what new things from Mr. DuPont's information..."

The girl's smile was extremely ambiguous, and the adult men at the scene chuckled again.

"Of course it depends on fate~"

It wasn't that the information was revealed at this time. After the morning board meeting was held, it was time for Oren Lockheed to lead everyone to have lunch.

This is not a project meeting between companies. The company just holds a regular board meeting. Don’t forget that it is still the end of the year. On the dining table, everyone is considered their own people in the current environment, so once the topic is opened, they immediately started chatting from all over the world.

"Mr. DuPont," Alice held the cup of orange juice after eating three pieces of salmon, and said, "Last year's Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry" Charles Peterson, should be a scientist under your consortium?"

Tasting the grape wine, a deep surprise flashed between Bonis DuPont's eyebrows: "Ms. Wang actually has the information on this. Yes, he is the research institute of a medical laboratory under my consortium. When Ms. Wang asked about it, it was..."

The answer is naturally self-evident: "I registered an umbrella company in the UK, and the market target is expected to be Europe. But if the DuPont consortium colleagues can pave the way in the United States, I believe it will definitely make its development smoother. So, Bonis, maybe you can discuss with people within the group for a little discussion. The possibility of our cooperation with each other* Liss said the last sentence lightly, but the corner of her mouth had already smiled happily and proudly.

The DuPont Consortium has very strong comprehensive strength, and of course it has not stuck to the fields of explosives, nylon, rubber, and paint. Its development in the field of bioengineering cannot be underestimated. Although non-professionals rarely pay attention to the fundamental source of a certain drug, and getting sick is just a piece of aspirin, the ones that ordinary consumers seek to contact are of course only at the end of the industry.

This conversation was just one of the sentences that the seven people on the board of directors kept exchanging, but Oren Lockheed was really bright.

It seems that this girl who started out in Silicon Valley is going to completely enter the heavy industry?
Chapter completed!
