Act 152: Meeting Abraham(1/2)
The climate in London is not very likable.
But, in this unfavorable climate, millions of people live.
The teenager who was still a child but was not very short in height walked towards the teahouse after murmuring.
Compared with the popular cafes in New York, London teahouses have a longer history than cafes.
Of course, when the teahouse was first established, it was not for tea tasting, but for the purpose of allowing water to enter when too many people gathered, resulting in a quarterly decline in water quality.
However, over time, this common people's habit has evolved into a culture.
Even those big men started to taste tea drinks.
However, they mixed the milk into the tea to give the tea drink a newer flavor.
Although the young man has been in London for several months, he still doesn't like drinking tea.
He pushed open the door of the teahouse, arrived at the table where he was playing games, and looked at the canvas on the table. It was indeed the tabletop game he had seen - Monopoly.
The young man named Gao Fei now didn't say anything, but just stood there, stared for a while and left.
He couldn't stay here for too long because he had something he wanted to do.
The old gentleman who saved him was still famous even in London, the world's number one city.
However, some people like his fame, while others hate him.
Because, although he was also a nobleman, he still embraced the successful industrial nobles.
However, he valued the rights and interests of ordinary workers too much.
In the eyes of other industrial nobles, this old guy has betrayed them.
After all, every time he wins more rights for a worker, it means that as factory owners, they lose one more rights.
After Gao Fei was rescued by him, he began to help him contact the workers.
Therefore, although he did not like the city of London, when he saw the help from one worker after another, he felt that his current life was pretty good.
Of course, during this period, he also saw the factory owners' insatiable appearance.
They asked workers to work for sixteen hours a day, and they deduct workers' wages if they disagree.
They try every means to reduce the treatment of workers, and they don't care even if the workers can't survive.
To them, it seems that only money is real, and everything except money is illusory.
In contrast, he remembered the gentleman who was nowhere much older than himself, who was such a kind man.
Even the old man nowadays, when it comes to "Monopoly", it is said that the author of this game must be a rational and ambitious person.
...
Henry DuPont completed the integration of DuPont at almost a speed of flying.
In fact, DuPont is not the only factory that has been blown up.
However, compared with this core factory, other factories can be ignored in terms of output and scale.
The reason why those small factories exist is just to experiment with some new production processes.
Although Henry DuPont does not know chemistry, he knows management.
The explosion in the core factory led to the death of a large number of skilled workers.
At this time, if you want to resume production as soon as possible, the best way is to allocate personnel from small factories to let them be responsible for resuming production.
The small factory, which had its manpower, was renamed by Henry as a research and development laboratory at the first time.
In a sense, this is the second industrial chemistry laboratory to appear in the United States.
The first industrial chemistry laboratory, of course, was Tom's cabin.
As for the manager of DuPont Laboratory, it is a cousin of Henry.
Although the cousin was as cowardly as his father and watched outsiders steal the DuPont family's industry, he had very excellent talents in chemistry.
Henry DuPont has reason to believe that with this younger brother’s host, DuPont will definitely develop other chemical products that are ahead of similar products on the market.
Only by maintaining R&D and maintaining the lead can we continue to have the market.
The West Point Military Academy where Henry DuPont graduated never only depends on the immediate interests.
Therefore, Henry himself also has a longer-term vision compared with those capitalists who only care about short-term interests.
As for the crisis DuPont is facing now, Henry doesn't think that others will have more understanding of violence than he does.
No matter how West Point Military Academy teaches engineering technology, it is essentially a military academy.
While urging the reconstruction of the core factory, he recruited veterans and planned to form an army with combat effectiveness with veterans as the core.
Although Henry had many actions, from the outside, DuPont seemed to not want to take revenge.
The reason they thought so was that compared with DuPont in the past, this revenge seemed too late.
DuPont has always been a style of being too tit for tooth and eye for eye, but this time, DuPont seemed to have no movement before it started to move.
Doug of New Haven also got off the hospital bed.
Since this time, no matter where he went, he could always see several people around him whose height and weight were far beyond normal standards, surrounding him.
These people may not have very high combat power, but Doug's expectations for them are also very simple, just hope they can help him block bullets.
Although these guys who are trying to make their suits burst, they are just not useful, but the trend of hiring such a bodyguard has gradually become popular in New Haven.
Even those who have wealth, even if they are not worried about being attacked, have to hire some bodyguards.
Because, for them, bodyguards are not just bodyguards, but also a symbol of identity.
Just like a carriage can have one horse, two horses, and three horses...
It seems that the more bodyguards are, the more powerful they are.
Doug seemed to have accidentally changed the world a little bit.
When Delake led his men to blow up the DuPont factory, Tom was not idle either.
He likes explosives, since he got TNT and picy sour, he seems to have found the most fun thing in his life.
His love for explosions far exceeds that of normal people.
He recently had a new idea, which is whether he could keep exploding explosives, push himself away, and then finally explode.
This is different from bullets and shells, which just exploded and pushed themselves out once. If Doug was to describe it, Tom's thoughts at this moment were more like a rocket.
That's right, it's the Rockets.
However, in this era where there is no ability to lock the target beyond the visual range, the Rockets will not be as powerful as they imagined.
After all, only missiles can be guided accurately, right?
However, although the possibility seems not very high for the time being, Doug has no intention of stopping Tom.
Even if it is only made of semi-finished products, it can only be used within sight range. This new weapon will deter the enemy at critical moments.
Besides, it is two different things that this thing is not easy to use. As long as you can sell these things to those who need them, Doug will be considered a success.
Although there is no evidence that the DuPont explosion is related to Doug, Winchester's civilian weapon sales have been rising steadily.
The speed of improvement is even higher than when we tried our best to hold the competition.
At the same time, in addition to the New Haven area, there are also many official violent organizations that have begun to contact Winchester and want to buy weapons produced by Winchester Weapons Company.
From this perspective, DuPont is really successful.
Doug didn't expect that bombing DuPont would have such benefits.
Of course, whenever someone asks about the DuPont explosion, whether it is Doug, Oliver, Williams, or even any Clayden person, they will deny that the DuPont explosion is related to them.
However, sometimes, the more you deny it, the more others will believe that it is what you did.
In addition to the rising sales performance of Winchester Weapons, even Whitestone Security Company has begun to have business.
You should know that not long ago, almost everyone maintained a refusal attitude towards companies like Shiraishi Security that only provide some invisible and intangible services.
Whoever thinks that buys this kind of service will be stupid.
However, who can think that it has not been long since, and someone has begun to recognize Shiraishi's service.
After taking these tasks, Ram did not disappoint those who purchased the service.
After those who purchase services master more abundant tactics.
Ram's side was not without gains. Shiraishi Company's combat effectiveness evaluation table for various regions and forces in the United States gradually began to enrich.
That's right, Shiraishi Security Company is also collecting intelligence while providing tactical guidance.
Then summarize and analyze this information, so that before training, there is a rough estimate of the improvement of combat effectiveness.
Second, once the Clayden forces confront these forces, they will always come out to understand the other party's status and will not suffer any losses.
Doug's carriage first came down, and then another man came down. Doug was the third one. After he got down, two more men followed him and got off the carriage.
At this time, his carriage was almost the largest carriage among all passenger carriages in New Haven.
