"Well, he is indeed my son." Gustav danced happily.
... What does this have to do with whose son it is, Lin Wei thought.
"Then my son, I am going to let you go to the United States on my behalf. The relationship between the DuPont family in the United States and our family is still good," Gustav Krupp looked at Lin Wei and said.
"Okay father, when will we set off?" Lin Wei was still a little excited, after all, he had not been abroad yet.
"In a week, I want to talk to the Dupont family," Gustave said.
Lin Wei and his butler Creek walked on the bustling streets of the United States and looked at the information about the DuPont family that his father gave him. The DuPont Consortium is one of the top ten consortiums in the United States. It is a consortium composed of the DuPont family that relied on the chemical industry and the arms industry. The founder is French immigrant E. I. Dupont de Nemours. He fled to the United States during the French Revolution and founded DuPont Company in Wilmington, Delaware, in 1802 to engage in the gunpowder business. After five generations of the DuPont family, DuPont Company finally became a typical family trust. During the European War, DuPont's assets increased from US$75 million before the war to US$300 million in 1918; it became one of the largest monopoly companies. It ranks sixth among the eight largest financial groups in the United States. The current patriarch of the family is Pierre DuPont, who is ruthless and unscrupulous. In order to control the DuPont Company to a greater extent, he ousted his brothers Alfred Dupont and Coleman Dupont. It seems that my father's expectations for me are really not small. He has given himself such a big problem. Lin Wei shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Master, why don't we take a rest and wait until tomorrow to leave?" Butler Creek suggested. "Uncle Creek, let's go to Wilmington first. Finish the work and return to Germany as soon as possible." Lin Wei turned around and said.
Lin Wei and Butler Krupp drove to the outskirts of Wilmington, Delaware. "I never imagined that the Dupont family lived in such a beautiful place." Lin Wei couldn't help but sigh when he saw the scenery outside.
What comes into view is a manor. There is a country manor about every one mile or so. The manors are scattered and dotted, like castles dotted among the beautiful water and sky on the Brandywa River. Castles, gardens, colonnades, fountains, and even a temple. Seeing this beautiful scenery, Lin Wei secretly cursed the family for a good death. An arms dealer actually lived in a better place than the Junkers of East Prussia. Thinking about his hometown of Essen, With the chimneys all over the city, Lin Wei had the urge to kill this family.
"Young Master," Creek pulled Linwei's clothes from behind.
When Lin Wei saw that the Dupont family had come out to greet him, he couldn't help but secretly despise himself.
"It's Mr. Lampard and Krupp. Our master asked me to pick you up. My name is Howard Hughes. You can just call me Howard." A middle-aged man said politely.
"Hello, Mr. Howard" Lin Wei performed a Juncker etiquette.
Lin Wei and the others entered the Dupont Manor with the man named Howard. Lin Wei finally did not feel embarrassed along the way. Howard took Lin Wei directly to Pierre & Dupont's office. After Lin Wei entered, he naturally saw Pierre Dupont, the current helmsman of the Dupont family, a middle-aged man of about 40 years old, wearing well-fitting clothes and with a smile on his face, but there was a fleeting look in his eyes. The cold light makes people dare not look at him. He is a character who is not easy to mess with.
"Please sit down, my little friend, I wonder if your father Gustave is okay?" Pierre Dupont said with a smile.
"Father is very good, Mr. Pierre. This time I bring the most sincere greetings from my father." Lin Wei also skirted around without leaving any trace.
"I heard that Gustave has been having a hard time recently." Pierre & Dupont saw that Lin Wei was very calm and decided to take a preemptive strike.
"Is life better for the Dupont family?" Lin Wei said tit for tat.
"Oh, are the Dupont family having a hard time? Why didn't I know?" Pierre was still so calm.
This old fox, Lin Wei cursed in his heart, and said, "The failure of the war has certainly caused heavy losses to our German Juncker landowners. Although Germany's industrial base has not been destroyed, the truly terrible enemy has already stretched out its fangs to us. , compared with this enemy, the losses of the war are negligible."
"Really, do you still need an enemy that can scare Juncker?" Pierre & Dupont's voice was still so tepid.
"Yes, it is not only the enemy of Juncker, but also yours and even the enemy of the entire American family. The failure of the war has caused us to lose the ability to resist in front of it. Once we fail, it will turn around and attack You guys have taken action," Lin Wei said.
"We don't need to talk these useless nonsense. In this European war, the United States got everything it wanted. Do you think it still has the strength to defeat us?" Pierre's voice revealed a trace of confidence.
"Really, Uncle Pierre, don't think that I am a child. You should know that the Morgan family, which is parallel to your family, is just a puppet supported by it. Its power is evident. If you help us add more I will restore my strength by myself, and you will have a strong ally in the future. On the contrary, if you choose to stand by and wait for it to defeat us this time, when you are unable to fight it alone, you will have to search all over the world to find it. There is not a single force that dares to challenge it." Word after word came out of Lin Wei's mouth, and each word struck Pierre & Dupont's mind.
"Okay, little guy, I admit that you have convinced me. I believe your father will be proud of you," Pierre & Dupont said with a smile. Lin Wei saw Pierre & Dupont's unchanging smile from the beginning to now, and felt as if he had fallen into a trap. Maybe these American families have long been ready to help the Juncker consortium. However, Lin Wei still breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Really? This is great. Mr. Pierre, your move will definitely win Juncker's friendship," Lin Wei said happily.
"Then, my little friend, the purpose of your trip has been achieved. Let's have dinner together," Pierre suggested.
"Thank you, Uncle Pierre. I ate it when I passed by Wilmington. My mission has been completed. I'm going to have a good time in the United States tomorrow." Lin Wei declined politely.
"Yeah, that's such a pity, Howard, take our guests to rest," Pierre said.
"Brother, do we really want to help these Germans?" A young man walked out of the small door next to the office. He was Irene Dupont, the younger brother of Pierre Dupont.
"Yes, if we don't help them tide over the difficulties, they will only be defeated by the Rothschild family. As long as we defeat this mountain that is weighing on us, it will be worth paying any price." Pierre & Dupont The voice was also quite helpless.
"Then I will contact the Rockefeller and Mellon families tomorrow," Irene & Dupont said.
"Okay, if possible, bring Morgan in, but be prepared to keep it a secret. It is too powerful," Pierre warned his brother.
As for Lin Wei, he left the DuPont family the next day and started traveling around the United States. In his opinion, the task was almost completed, so why not have a good time when he came to the United States.
In the following days, Lin Wei took Gustav & Krupp's money and had a good time in the eastern United States. A week later, Lin Wei and Butler Creek took a boat back to Germany with only two tickets left.
A week after they returned to Germany, the DuPont family, the Rockefeller family, and the Mellon family in the United States announced that they would provide loans to the German Krupp Military Industry and the Mauser Factory...
"Well, I'm finally home." Thinking of the two months of sea voyage, Lin Wei now felt a little shuddering. During these two months, Lin Wei only stayed on land for ten days. As long as he stayed here, Lin Wei wondered if he was going crazy.
