Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1190 Rich Man

In fact, Roque is really not a tyrannical person. Most of the people who are against Roque are indeed dead, but those who cooperate with Roque have made a fortune. Roque has never hired people to sit on the ground like some families. Airplane, Rock's sincerity towards friends is recognized by all.

Hoover understood this very deeply.

For Hoover's suggestion, Baekeland was definitely disappointed, but Hoover's suggestion proved the strength of the DuPont family from another aspect.

One can imagine the strength of a company that is unwilling to offend even the next presidential candidate.

"Is there no other way?" Baekeland was extremely disappointed, so what about more than 100 patents, and an annual income of one million dollars is useless, and there are countless honorary positions. When facing a larger trust, they can only be wiped out Blood swallowed in the stomach.

It's like running a marathon, running the full length of the race, only to find out that it's a triathlon.

Uh, it seems that the order is wrong, but it doesn't matter, this is as bad as Baekeland's mood.

"One question, Leo, why did you refuse to license your patent to the Marquis of Nyasaland?" Hoover focused on the core of the problem, and it wasn't that Roque refused to pay. Baekeland's doing so was actually not in line with the law of business.

"It's not that I don't want to give it, it's that the U.S. government asked me to do so. If I gave the authorization to the Marquess of Nyasaland, then the Marquis of Nyasaland would definitely not set up factories in the United States. Thousands of jobs will be lost in the United States. The government will also lose a large amount of tariff revenue." Baekeland told the truth, not because he didn't want to, but because there were too many secrets behind it.

Hoover shrugged and said that there was nothing he could do. Since the U.S. government did not allow Baekeland to transfer the patents, when Baekeland encountered difficulties, he should seek help from the U.S. government.

I just don't know if the US government will extend a helping hand to Baekeland at this time.

It might be difficult. After all, it was not Roque who attacked Baekeland, but the DuPont family.

"Leo, I suggest you go to Nyasaland and have a face-to-face talk with the Marquis of Nyasaland to see if you can try to get some compensation from other aspects—" Fast actively thinks of a way, he is sincere I really want to consider it for Baekeland, but there are not many ways.

Baekeland doesn't speak. From New York to Nyasaland, you have to cross the Atlantic Ocean. From the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere, the straight-line distance is about 12000 kilometers.

According to the consistent style of the DuPont family, it is estimated that Baekeland's factory will be forced to stop production due to some accident before he arrives at Walvis Bay.

Looking back, Baekeland could only find Franklin.

Franklin still had the confident and condescending attitude of not wanting to be beaten, as if Baekeland was determined.

"I can transfer the patent of Bakelite to the Marquis of Nyasaland, but what can I get? One hundred thousand dollars is definitely not enough. I don't believe this is the final decision of the Marquis of Nyasaland." Baekeland must hold on The DuPont family, even if Baekeland wants to have a face-to-face discussion with Rock, at least they must ensure that there are no accidents in their factory.

"What do you want?" Franklin was not surprised. If Baekeland didn't have any conditions, Franklin would suspect that Baekeland had someone behind him.

"I want Nyasaran Air's product agency rights in the United States—exclusive product agency rights!" the Lion of Baekeland said loudly. The civil aircraft recently launched by Nyasaran Airways is in the limelight. Each aircraft costs 15000 rand Still in short supply.

After improving the ride comfort and increasing the voyage, the civil aircraft launched by Nyasaland Airlines can carry 45 passengers and the flight distance exceeds 1500 kilometers. It is unimaginable that there have not been any air accidents.

The absence of air crashes does not mean that there will be no accidents. However, the civil aircraft launched by Nyasaland Airlines uses four engines. Even if two engines on one side have an accident at the same time, they can also use the two engines on the other side to achieve a safe landing. , which greatly reduces the possibility of an air crash.

At present, the civilian aircraft launched by Nyasaran Airlines is fully meeting the needs of the UK and France. Even the orders from southern Africa have not had time to produce, and they have not had time to enter the US market at all.

However, the United States has a strong demand for civil aviation. With the continuous development of the east and west coasts of the United States, the United States urgently needs a more efficient means of transportation to replace railways and truly connect the east and west coasts of the United States. Aircraft is obviously the best tool.

"Ha, Mr. Baekeland, you are so whimsical. Do you know how big the market is?" Franklin's tone was full of sarcasm. Not only Baekeland is optimistic about the civil aviation market, but several trusts in the United States are also very optimistic. Franklin As we know, American companies that are in contact with Nyasaran Aviation include but are not limited to Rockefeller, AT&T, Carnegie Steel, and at the beginning of the century, they decided to withdraw from the American market because they were not optimistic about the American economy. However, during the World War The severely damaged Rothschild family.

Compared with these business giants, Baekeland's strength is really too weak.

"Okay, I give up this requirement. The car is always okay. Nyasaland Heavy Industry has just launched a multi-functional station wagon for urban household use. Give me the agency right of this station wagon, and I will take the patent of phenolic plastic. The right is for the Marquis of Nyasaland to use for free, and it doesn't matter when it is used." Baekeland chose the second best, which may be Baekeland's real purpose.

As a successful businessman, Baekeland is skilled in business negotiations and knows how to conceal his true purpose.

From this point of view, perhaps the station wagon is not Baekeland's real purpose.

"Wait for my news—" Franklin didn't have the right to make a decision, so he had to go back and report to the higher authorities.

Baekeland didn't wait for Franklin's reply, and booked a boat ticket to Whale Bay that night.

Some things still need to meet with Rock to decide. Even if you can't meet Rock, you have to talk to someone who can make a decision, not through Franklin's mouthpiece.

Said was also the one who made the same decision as Baekeland.

After meeting Rock, Said never got the chance to meet Rock again.

However, Said was not discouraged, and he did not leave Los Angeles. Instead, he rented a suite at the Rhodesia Hotel next to Cecil Rhodes Plaza for a long time, and continued to wait for the opportunity to meet Rock.

Said is indeed rich. He spent nearly one million rand in a short period of time in Los Angeles. In addition to buying a house in the city and a manor in the suburbs, he also bought a number of Lord car and a yacht.

Relying on his extravagant spending, Said has indeed met a lot of people in Los Angeles, and there are many capable upper-class people among them.

For example, Said's neighbor is Angie who once served as Rock's adjutant.

Angie did not live with Anton after marriage, but moved with his new wife to a house by Lake Niassa. In order to buy the house next to Angie's house, Said spent 15 Wan Lante.

Then Said began to create opportunities to meet Angie. For this reason, Said did not hesitate to help Angie's wife tidy up the lawn, clean up the poop made by the hounds, and even helped clean up the leaves in Angie's swimming pool.

No matter what purpose Said is for, Said finally got the chance to visit Angie's house.

When Said visited An Qi's house as a guest, he brought as a gift a "Picture of Wintersweet" painted by Xu Wei, a famous painter in the late Ming Dynasty.

Don't be surprised, this gift is just right. Don't forget that in this era, the value of oriental art works has not been truly reflected. Westerners don't like oriental ink landscapes, and they don't understand Xu Wei's freehand brushwork.

Just like most Chinese do not appreciate the artistic value of Post-Impressionism.

An Qi did not refuse, it was just a painting, it was nothing to An Qi and Said.

At the dinner table, An Qi chatted with Said about the Ottoman Empire naturally, and expressed regret for the current situation of the Ottoman Empire.

Sorry for being polite.

Said did not directly ask An Qi to speak for him in front of Rock, but chatted with An Qi about the possibility of restoring the country.

For Saeed, the problem was difficult to resolve.

But for An Qi, this question is not too simple.

During these years of working with Rock, An Qi really knows this procedure too well.

So Angel naturally recommended Umbrella Company to Said.

"Yes, the most suitable way for you now is to hire a team of mercenaries from the umbrella company in private name, and then use the mercenaries of the umbrella company as a team to build a force that is completely yours - this is the most feasible way, don't put Hope is placed on others, because of you, no one has taken the initiative to fight against a lot of countries such as Britain, France and Italy, are you impatient?" An Qi knew that Said had asked Rock for help, and knew that Rock would not help Syed's reason.

"Umbrella is also a British company—" Said hadn't made up his mind yet.

"Then don't look for an umbrella, go to the civilians to recruit some mercenaries who have just participated in the world war, give them a good salary, and let them work for you. What you really need is a solid logistics supply. As for the army, it is very simple. Anyway , no one will openly help you in the form of a state." Angie almost directly took East India as an example.

In fact, it is more appropriate to use the Flying Tigers as an example. Another Flying Tigers during World War II in time and space has nothing to do with the US government. The mercenaries who came here have nothing to do with the US government at all.

Said fell into deep thought. He seemed to realize something in the dark, but he hadn't grasped it yet.

An Qi is not in a hurry. Speaking of which, if you don't know how to do it, then don't think about restoring the country. It's not bad to be a rich man honestly.
