The Undead Empire That Travels Through the Multiverse

Facing Chen Mo's straightforward question, Pierre didn't feel uncomfortable in any way.

Perhaps because the United States is still an emerging country and there are not so many complicated etiquettes, he just thought about Chen Mo's directness and replied: "The DuPont family mainly operates in the gunpowder and chemical industries. In terms of chemical plants, we can help your country as much as we can.

As for the shipyard, the DuPont family has not been involved in this business, but we have a good relationship with the US government and a good friendship with the navy. If Egypt has this need, I can introduce you to the Philadelphia shipyard relevant person in charge.

As the first shipyard of the U.S. Navy, the Philadelphia Shipyard has a long history, skilled workers, and a huge shipbuilding scale. Whether Egypt wants to develop its own shipbuilding industry or just want to get some ships, I think they should be able to help. "

Pierre didn't play any tricks in front of Chen Mo, making it his own is worse than buying it. Although capital is profit-seeking, and capitalists are not great benevolent people, they must squeeze the last bit of profit they can get. But as the head of a big trust, Pierre knew when to ask what price.

Before coming, he had learned about the current situation in Egypt through various channels.

If the current Egyptian government is just a puppet supported by the British to control Egypt, then it goes without saying that Pierre will offer the harshest price in a gesture of charity to plunder the DuPont family as much as possible. .

The puppet government of a weak country, even if it is the United Kingdom behind it, is not qualified to reject the DuPont family.

But it is clear that the Egypt ruled by Chen Mo is not a puppet government controlled by Britain.

Although Britain still controls all aspects of Egypt, it is clear that Chen Mo is not the kind of puppet who is supported, he has enough control over Egypt.

This point, on the one hand, comes from the narration of Pierre’s nephew Burns, and on the other hand, it comes from the DuPont family’s own intelligence collection.

After all, it is to discuss cooperation with a country. How could the DuPont family have no preparations?

It was precisely because he had learned enough information that Pierre understood what conditions he should offer Chen Mo.

make money? This is for sure, the DuPont family is not a philanthropist, and it is impossible to go to Egypt to do charity.

But it is clear that the DuPont family can't do whatever they want for this cooperation like they did with those South American countries. They need to control the conditions of this cooperation within the scope of "normal" business cooperation.

Because the Egypt controlled by Chen Mo is a real power regime, this has a completely different meaning to the DuPont family.

After all, doing business with a real power regime can earn more than doing business with a puppet regime, especially as Pierre can see, Chen Mo is a man with great ambitions, and he will build this country become stronger.

Regarding Chen Mo's request, although it is said that selling the finished product directly is the most profitable, but if the conditions agreed to Chen Mo are regarded as investment, investing in a country that will rise will undoubtedly be a very profitable business.

Although Pierre has never learned the allusion of Lu Buwei's "extraordinary goods can live in", the commonality of businessmen's pursuit of profit is interlinked. As a big businessman, Pierre still has this vision.

Therefore, agreeing to Chen Mo's request to help Egypt build chemical and military factories was not so difficult for Pierre to accept.

And from the perspective of a businessman, first investing in the construction of an arsenal to open up market demand, and then selling the gunpowder needed to produce bullets and shells to the arsenal is also a lucrative way to make money.

"If so, that would be the best. There will be a special person in charge of negotiating with Mr. Pierre about the specific business terms. As long as the factory is established,

I can authorize you, DuPont, to explore and extract oil in the western desert. "Since Pierre is sensible, Chen Mo will naturally not give too harsh conditions, and naturally he still has to give benefits for the other party to invest in setting up a factory.

This is like attracting investment, you have to give some preferential conditions before others are willing to invest.

After all, Chen Mo does not intend to let others control these important factories, and the control will be firmly in his own hands. The oil exploration and production rights given to DuPont are just a piece of meat thrown out.

Moreover, for Chen Mo, the oil reserves on the Egyptian land have long been proven in later generations. The Suez area, which is still the canal area, is Egypt's largest oil production area, accounting for about 75% of Egypt's oil production. It was discovered in 1910 Only 5% of the Sinai Peninsula has oil, and the rest is in the western desert and eastern desert.

Throwing away a not-so-important oil-producing area in exchange for the investment of the DuPont family, in Chen Mo's view, this is not a problem.

In particular, he can still take back these oil-producing areas, can't he?

Of course, if the DuPont family has always been so sensible and carried out business cooperation well, and there are no ideas that shouldn't be there, Chen Mo will still not take back this oil-producing area easily.

After all, someone pays to help build, mine and refine these oils, which will also promote the industrial development of Egypt itself, not to mention that they have to pay taxes.

—————————————

The meeting with Chen Mo made Pierre feel very fruitful. Although the oil in the western desert area still needs to be found and extracted by the DuPont family, it also means that the DuPont family can get involved in the oil industry.

This undoubtedly made Pierre feel that the business this time is a good deal. Although from some perspectives, the DuPont family needs to invest huge sums of money and a lot of manpower and material resources in the land of Egypt, in Pierre's view, these It's just an initial investment, and you can earn it back later.

With such a good mood, Pierre undoubtedly became more friendly to his nephew.

"Burns, have you ever thought about working for the family?" In the hotel where he was temporarily staying, Pierre talked cordially with his nephew like an uncle rather than the head of the Dupont family: "I have already talked to that Your Excellency Chen Mo has discussed the matter of investing in Egypt, and will send people from the United States to establish a branch office. Since you have friendship with that Excellency Chen Mo, I think you can find a good job for yourself in the branch office. Then I think your mother will be very happy too."

"Do I need to work in Egypt?" Burns didn't reject this matter. All he thought about was what to do if he needed to work in Egypt, a country that made him feel psychologically shadowed.
