After having money, Contini was no longer stingy and decided to increase the efforts to purchase from the United States: for example, the construction of a power plant has expanded from 1.4 million kilowatts to 2.4 million kilowatts to start a production line of aluminum ingots and aluminum alloys; for example, the petrochemical equipment has expanded from 2 million tons per year to 3 million tons; for example, the introduction of various electric locomotives; in addition, there are some technical content that are relatively high, but the practicality of life has not yet been reflected, such as the introduction of air compressor technology...

After a while, more than 20 million US dollars were spent.

This made major banks and giants very happy. These funds have to be allocated through the banking system. Not only will their profit margins be improved a little more, but United Group directly withdraws only more than $80 million from the United States, further reducing the risk. Although it is unlikely that the stock market will fall by half, it is not a good thing to expose too much exposure.

At this time, the US economy was in the middle of Coolidge's prosperity. The US government welcomed Contini to the United States to spread checkbooks. In particular, his behavior of introducing American technology and equipment to Italy is more likely to be regarded as the spread of American industrial civilization. Therefore, Contini's special behavior: such as the convoys being held in front and behind, and the guards carrying guns and live ammunition on the streets were specially treated by the US authorities. Even if someone published news of sarcastic Mussolini and Fascisti in the newspaper, they would soon be pushed down.

It is the time to make money, what kind of ideology is talking about?

Contini naturally couldn't take all of it away for another 80 million US dollars. After considering it, he added more than 20 million US dollars to the stock market, focusing on absorbing large-cap stocks that have begun to start but have not yet risen a lot. Small-cap stocks are not afraid to touch because the small-cap stocks are too small. United Group's current size may cause a huge impact if it is not careful. In addition, corporate governance of small-cap stocks is also a big problem. What if the board of directors sees that the stock price is so good? This will seriously impact the market supply system.

But there are not so many problems with large-cap stocks. If tens of millions of dollars continue, liquidity will be easily absorbed by the market. Secondly, the equity of large companies is scattered and the governance structure is standardized. It is not easy to issue additional issuances, and it is not difficult to leave at that time.

After a series of commercial negotiations, Contini can finally take a breath and accompany Ada, and then neglect the little girl. If she goes back to find Mussolini, it will be troublesome. So Contini recently took her to visit various places, such as the steel mill in Pittsburgh, the motor city in Detroit... The large-scale production of assembly lines has opened Ada's eyes.

"Brother Calais, do you want to turn Italy into this way?"

"Yes, do you think this is good?"

"It looks exciting, but Italy is so small and the United States is so big, can we do it?"

Contini smiled: "It doesn't have to be as large as the United States. Italy's population is only one-third of that of the United States, and the land area is even smaller. If we have one-quarter of the United States' strength, we will be very strong!"

"Not even a quarter now?"

"Not to mention a quarter of the United States, we don't even have a quarter of Germany." Contini sighed. "For example, the steel production in Italy is more than 1 million tons, and Germany is more than 20 million tons... My mission is to narrow these gaps and narrow them a little more. There are not many thankless things that Italians like to do. Italians like to brag easily and happily, or do some opportunistic side-by-side, or take shortcuts... If they don't do it, I will only do it."

"Brother Calais, you are so great..." Ada looked like I couldn't understand what you were saying, but she just felt that you were so powerful.

"Great?" Contini shook his head, "I am only 21 years old... I was called great at the age of 21. How can I live in the future?"

Aida pouted: "You know you are only 21 years old? I see you are more busy than the 42-year-old boss of a large company... I have been here in the United States for 2 months. Have you ever been shopping? Have you sat down and had a cup of coffee to enjoy the night view? Have you let go of all your work and enjoyed the scenic spots and historical sites? You don't have endless introductions, endless people to see, endless banquets and other inexplicable hypocrisy... No, even if it is a tour, I will take me to the industrial area. The first time I found someone likes to take girls to visit the industrial area."

"Are you angry?"

"No, this is your job, but I can't help with anything...I feel so frustrated."

"That's because you're still young."

"I'm not young anymore...I'm 14 years old." Ada pushed her chest hard, showing that she was not young.

Not to mention Contini, even Monica was so happy that she laughed.

"Okay... Ada has grown up... I will take you to the Far East if you have the chance next year or later."

"Japan?China?"

"Yes! And India... Let's take a look. Let's walk from the Suez Canal and see the scenery of Egypt."

"Okay!" Ada reiterated, "There are not so many businesses there to talk about, right?"

Contini shook his head with a wry smile: "What's there? Unless we go to invest, I can't even take care of Italy, so how can I take care of other places?"

When he said this, he automatically excluded Libya.

"Okay, I'll go with you..."

"But today we have to visit a professor..."

The professor Contini mentioned is Mr. Robert Huggins Goddard, the pioneer of the American Rockets. He proposed his ideas about the Rockets a few years ago, but he was ridiculed in the academic and media. Even so, Professor Goddard did not give up his ideals, but ran around to raise funds to prepare to put his theory into practice.

If there are soulmates in the world, Contini must be one. He not only published Goddard's academic ideas in the full text of the Youth Daily, but also added notes to Goddard, but also provided a considerable funding for Goddard. Although it was only 100,000 US dollars, for a scientist, the 100,000 US dollars in place could allow him to save time in many places and devote his energy to more precious places.

The professor is currently fiddling with his invention at Ward Farm in Massachusetts. There may be 6-12 months left before the successful launch. Contini knew that this would be the world's first liquid rocket, and Germany's first test rocket would not be released at least 15 years later. So he wanted to take Goddard away as soon as possible. Once the rocket was launched successfully, Goddard's research will begin to attract attention. It will not be easy to get him away at that time.

Professor Goddard waited in his farm early in the morning. He was usually unkempt and rarely changed into some formal clothes today. He was ready for tea, snacks and coffee. He hoped to give his big financial support a good impression. Although he was a little stubborn, he was definitely not a paranoid who was ignorant of adaptability and was not a paranoid person. In the past two days, he saw reports about the "United Group" whirlwind in the newspaper and received news in advance that President Ziano was coming to see him.

Although he was fully prepared, Contini's first words still stunned him: "Professor, I sincerely invite you to be the chief researcher of the rocket field of United Group Laboratory, with an annual salary of 30,000 US dollars, and at the same time, you can get enough time, energy and funds to toss your hobbies..."

Now the salary of professors at American universities is relatively high, but generally only $6,000-8,000, and tenured teaching positions can exceed $10,000. At least $30,000 is an academic master in the industry. He won the Nobel Prize at the level. Goddard cannot reach this level. What is even more attractive is that the other party promises not to top up the funds. This can be ridiculed as bragging, but the domineering president said this is really not bragging. Everyone has seen the scene of rich and willfulness. The scene of "buy, buy, buy" in the New York mall has long been sensation...

"this……"

"I almost forgot to say that I didn't just invite you, your whole family can go to Italy... I will arrange for the group expert building to live in you, and at the same time, I will also equip you with a research team of at least 20 people. If you want to take a graduate student, I can go to the University of Rome to apply for a teaching position... Visa, passport, and nationality don't have to worry about you. In Italy, many of them are just my words. If my words don't work, there is also this person..." Contini pointed to Ada, "She is the Prime Minister's daughter and is particularly interested in exploration and research!"

Ada understood and immediately said in a coquettish voice: "Professor, I have been hearing Brother Calais talk about your deeds, and I have also read the science fiction introduction in Youth Daily. Is the Rockets really that amazing?"

Monica gave a thumbs up behind her back: After all, she is the Prime Minister's daughter. She doesn't need to teach this trick, she can understand it at first glance.

Goddard could not withstand this temptation and was shaken on the spot.

Contini said again: "I know you have a son. You just graduated from college and are a mechanical engineer. I think United Group also has his place. I believe he must have heard of United Motorcycle Fast and Furious Series. He should like the working environment there... Besides, Italian girls are also great."

This time, even Goddard's wife was shaken.

"Okay, I'll go, but I still have a lot of information, instruments, and semi-finished products here, and also needs to be sorted out in the house and farm..."

"It doesn't matter what you are using for research. I'll send someone to help you move. I have a boat... As for the residence and the farm." Contini smiled, "Sell it to me for $100,000."

The professor shook his head repeatedly: "Where is worth $100,000? It can't be sold at 50,000 US dollars!"

"Then it's $100,000, which is more of your settlement fee in Italy..." Contini smiled and said to Monica, "Tomorrow, we will cooperate with the professor to handle the property rights and register it under Ada's name... After the professor's family moved out, they arranged for American workers to convert this place into a small vacation villa, and plant flowers and plants all the farms Ada's favorites!"

OK, now Professor Goddard and his wife have experienced the rich style.
