Pierre DuPont and his youngest son Irene DuPont built the DuPont family's gunpowder factory in Wilmington, Delaware. At the same time, Pierre prompted the U.S. government to buy French Louisiana, which not only established the DuPont family's position in the United States, but also made the DuPont family's gunpowder company develop rapidly.
After nearly a century of development, the powder factory of the DuPont family has developed extremely huge. Especially when Eugene DuPont, the fourth leader of the DuPont family, took charge of the DuPont family, the whole American powder market has been completely monopolized by the DuPont family. At the same time, Eugene also made the DuPont family business all over the world and became one of the largest gunpowder manufacturers in the world. But Eugene is not satisfied. He has greater ideals. When Eugene wanted to further expand his business, he encountered a very real problem. At that time, the Delaware Constitution did not allow the large enterprise he wanted to establish to exist.
Because the United States is a federal country, in addition to the Federal Constitution of the United States, each state also has its own state constitution, and even the power of the state constitution in some fields is higher than that of the Federal Constitution. At that time, the state constitution of Delaware had such provisions similar to the later antitrust law.
The existence of this Law in the state constitution has greatly constrained the development of the DuPont family. If the state constitution does not change this law, the DuPont family will not want to continue to expand.
As the leader of the DuPont family, how could the ambitious Eugene sit and watch this happen? So Eugene mobilized all the forces in the family and began to lobby the members of the state legislature to persuade them to agree to amend the constitution. Soon after, the DuPont family manipulated the state parliament to amend the state constitution of Delaware, and finally made the DuPont family the second "trust" of the United States.
It might not be difficult to manipulate a state to amend the state constitution as a businessman in modern times, but it was almost impossible at that time, even the Rockefeller family, the best in the United States at that time, Later, the Mellon family, who had been the Treasury Secretary of the United States for three consecutive terms, did not do such a thing, but the DuPont family did it. This shows how powerful the DuPont family is.
As for another important thing that the DuPont family did, it was even more impressive.
As we all know, a very important reason why the little devils surrendered in World War II lies in the two Mushroom bombs of "fat man" and "little boy".
During World War II, although the little devils retreated on the Pacific battlefield, the Japanese Communists at that time had no intention of surrender. They even made a military plan to resist the US Army at home. In fact, the U.S. military fought very hard in the Pacific War, especially the battles on Okinawa and Iwo Jima. It can no longer be described as simple hardship. "Tragic" is the most appropriate description of those wars.
The reason why those fierce battles were so fierce was that the little devil saw that the U.S. military was going to hit his own land, so he resisted to death. It is conceivable that if the US military really reaches Japan, the US military will pay a greater price.
With the beating nature of the Americans, if the price is too high, they are likely not to land in Japan, and the final result of the Pacific war may be another result.
Japan was ready to fight the US Army to the death at home, but two Mushroom bombs that Japan could not resist completely destroyed Japan's confidence in resistance, which finally led to the unconditional surrender of the Japanese emperor.
At that time, the DuPont family played a very important role in developing the "Manhattan Project" of mushroom bomb. Even from some aspects, the whole "Manhattan Project" was actually dominated by the DuPont family.
During World War II, Germany was the first country to develop mushroom bombs, but it never succeeded. Driven by the great physicist Einstein, the United States and Britain decided to carry out relevant research and development quickly, so as to strive for research and development before it was made in Germany. President Roosevelt thought of the DuPont family and threw a series of burdens on them.
Hanford, the largest factory used in the development of mushroom bombs, belongs to the DuPont family. Almost all R & D and manufacturing processes are completed in this factory, and green Walter, the laboratory director of DuPont company, is the director of the "Manhattan Project".
At that time, DuPont group was the agent of the U.S. government. Members of the U.S. Congress could not go in if they wanted to investigate the Manhattan plan. In addition to the high confidentiality, another important reason was that DuPont managers liked to be quiet. Finally, through the efforts of Greenwall and others, the United States successfully entered the first nuclear test explosion
Although the patent of mushroom bomb belongs to the U.S. government, all the knowledge generated in the whole R & D and manufacturing process belongs to the DuPont family.
From doubling the territory of the United States, to a company operating the state legislature to amend the constitution, to actually leading the development of the first mushroom bomb in the United States and the world, as long as other families can make one of these three things, it is enough to leave a name in the business world. DuPont family has made three things, which can be compared with families all over the world.
It can be seen that the DuPont family has a deep foundation.
It is obviously not a wise thing to fight against such a rich family, and Yang Jing has no doubt about it. Even if the amount of funds owned by the Dragon Fund controlled by Yang Jing has exceeded the DuPont family, Yang Jing will certainly not do such a brain crippling thing by making friends with such a family for no reason.
If the personal data of the fifth generation of the DuPont family helm found by themselves are returned to the DuPont family, it is obviously a good thing that can quickly close the relationship with this family.
So when Yang Jing came out of the basement with a box of materials, notes and manuscripts, she immediately asked steward Shelton to contact the DuPont family.
As a person who had met Alfred, steward Shelton was also very excited when he saw these manuscripts and materials. He did not expect that there were so many precious manuscripts in the basement where no one had been asked for decades.
These manuscripts are not valuable to outsiders, but they are absolutely of irreplaceable significance to the DuPont family. As the old housekeeper of Alfred manor, Shelton naturally hopes that these manuscripts can be completely returned to the DuPont family.
Yang Jing won't operate these things in person. With the old housekeeper Shelton, Yang Jing can let go of these things.
His main energy has been attracted by the two notes found in the basement
These two notebooks are definitely old things, and according to the handwriting and recorded contents, these two notebooks are obviously Alfred's own notes.
The reason why Yang Jing left these two notes alone and didn't return them to the DuPont family together with Alfred's manuscripts is that Yang Jing noticed some differences from the contents recorded in these two notes.
Just because some of the things recorded in these two notes are very fragmented, Yang Jing can't figure out what is recorded in these two notes for a moment, but it is certain that these two notes are definitely not Alfred's manuscripts on gunpowder technology, but more like a travel note, Because it recorded a lot of place names and some book titles, of course, more numbers that Yang Jing couldn't understand.
After seeing the contents of these two notes, Yang Jing's intuition thought he should leave them, so he ignored them.
The reason for this intuition is more because of Alfred's experience than the things recorded in his notebook.
Alfred, as the head of the "ZTE three brothers" led by the DuPont family in the early 20th century, was not very happy in the second half of his life.
In 1902, Eugene DuPont, the fourth generation leader of the DuPont family, died of a sudden illness, which led to the headless of the huge DuPont family. Moreover, because Eugene expanded too fast when he was alive, the control of the DuPont family over the family's core business gunpowder company was greatly reduced. If Eugene was alive, the DuPont family would not worry about others occupying the magpie's nest, But Eugene's sudden death immediately messed up the old directors of the DuPont family on the board of directors of DuPont group.
Because most of these old directors are very old, no one is willing to take over DuPont group. Some directors even proposed to sell DuPont group to Laflin Rand, DuPont group's biggest competitor.
But as the only young man on the board, Alfred Irene DuPont, the great grandson of Irene DuPont, quit. You can't sell yetian like this, can you? Not to mention selling DuPont group to its biggest competitor all along is a blasphemy to our ancestors.
So Alfred suggested that he and his two cousins take over the DuPont family together.
The three brothers did live up to their ancestors' foundation. Under the care of the three of them, the DuPont family thrived again and made the DuPont family a big Mac again in only seven years. This is also the fundamental reason why Alfred and his two cousins are known as the "three ZTE brothers of DuPont family".
Although the three brothers put the DuPont family back on the right track, it is inevitable that "we can share weal and woe but not wealth" will be staged in this ancient family. Alfred's two cousins later began to seize the power that should have belonged to Alfred by one means or another, and drove Alfred out of the power center of the three.
The fraternal affair took place in the DuPont family and ended with Alfred being touched by the power center.
This is also the fundamental reason why Alfred built such a manor on the remote Grand Island in 1918 and then concentrated on doing experiments here.
Alfred had the demeanor of his great grandfather Irene and was very interested in technology. But it is precisely because of his infatuation with technology that he ignores the betrayal of the people closest to him. He was finally rushed here to provide for the aged and do experiments. In fact, it was also a kind of forced sadness.
What is recorded in the two notes obviously has nothing to do with the gunpowder experiment, so what is the secret hidden in the two notes?
