America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 354 The remnants of the old era cannot board the ship of the new era

Chen Jianqiu took off his hat and patted the snow on his body.

He threw his coat to the people behind him, and said to them, "Stay outside, I'll go in."

Chen Jianqiu walked to the empty seat opposite Henry.

The chairs were removed.

He glanced at a person behind a company representative next to him.

Chen Jianqiu saw that man trembling.

He caught a glimpse of the golden revolver in the man's waist.

Then, he stood up and obediently put the chair in front of Chen Jianqiu.

"Thank you." Chen Jianqiu smiled at him.

The man didn't dare to look directly into Chen Jianqiu's eyes, he lowered his head and retreated to his seat, standing behind his company representative.

Chen Jianqiu sat down carelessly, crossing his legs.

"Continue talking." He took out a cigar and looked at everyone with a smile.

"This is a meeting within the Gunpowder Association, please get out!" Henry Dupont said, suppressing his anger.

"Snapped!"

An exquisite hard invitation card was thrown on the table.

With a cigar in his mouth, Chen Jianqiu smiled, "I didn't come here uninvited."

The invitation was stamped with the Gunpowder Society's coat of arms, not a counterfeit.

Old Henry's anger "cracked" up, and he looked around at the people sitting:
"Who invited him?" he snapped loudly.

Representatives of various companies still look at me and I look at you.

The old man's eyes finally fell on the old Hadze's face.

Old Hadze didn't go to see Henry.

"Yes, I sent the invitation." He said slowly, "However, this is not my opinion alone."

The company representatives who raised their hands just now also looked here.

They stand with Hadzer & Company.

"So what?" Old Henry sneered.

"You have also seen the results of the voting just now. Just because of your crooked melons, you want to fight against DuPont?!"

He pointed to Chen Jianqiu: "As long as I am still here, he will never want to join the Gunpowder Association!"

Chen Jianqiu smiled.

"I don't want to join the Gunpowder Association. This association unites the industry in name, but it is actually the trust of your DuPont family. After that, you won't even give soup to others."

The people sitting there started talking again.

Everyone knows DuPont's heart.

It's just that no one has raised it in person within the Gunpowder Association.

"So, what can you do?" Old Henry said arrogantly.

"We intend to form a new association to be called the 'International Gunpowder Association.'"

"As long as you are willing to join, I am willing to share the technology of smokeless gunpowder for free, and lead everyone to open up new markets! For example, Europe, Asia"

Chen Jianqiu stood up and walked to the window.

He opened the curtains, wiped the mist from the window with his hand, tapped the glass with his fingertips, and pointed to the building opposite.

"Just opposite."

Old Henry finally understood where the stone lion he saw just now came from.

"What a big tone! Just you? With the current size of DuPont, it's as easy to crush you as to crush an ant." His face was full of disdain.

In his eyes, this western hillbilly, yellow-skinned Asian, is not qualified to stand on the same track as him.

"What if I'm added?" Hadze narrowed his eyes and looked at Henry.

"And I!"

Other companies in the hall began to take their stand, and in addition to Hadzer and those who had previously raised their hands, some other companies that expressed neutrality began to hesitate.

After all, the future is smokeless gunpowder, and DuPont has not been able to solve the problem of raw materials until now.

All of a sudden, the solidarity in the hall came and went, like wildfire starting a prairie fire.

"Okay, okay, okay." Henry Dupont said hello three times, his eyes gradually hardened.

He winked at the person next to him.

The entourage understood, walked out of the window, and made a gesture towards the downstairs.

Soon there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

The faces of the people in the hall suddenly changed drastically, and even Hadze, who had been calm and composed from the beginning, showed a trace of nervousness.

Henry Dupont was a man who could do anything.

A man of considerable stature, he has been trying to "civilize" his business practices in recent years.

What's more, this is still in New York.

But no one can forget what he did to his competitors.

Henry Dupont sat down and said no more.

The follower beside him spoke:
"DuPont sincerely hopes that everyone will think about it again, and don't regret it when the time comes."

Old Henry didn't actually intend to shoot and kidnap people in New York. He just wanted to remind everyone present how the Gunpowder Association came about.

Threats are a form of pressure.

"Snapped!"

Another sound.

Everyone in the hall was startled.

They found two shiny gold revolvers lying on the table.

With a cigar in his mouth, Chen Jianqiu leaned forward, crossed his hands on the table, and looked directly at Henry Dupont opposite him.

The two golden revolvers were by his hand, the muzzles facing the opposite.

"What are you going to do?!" Henry's entourage became nervous, and he opened his mouth to call someone.

In the civilized world, even if it is an organization of merchants selling arms, there is no reason to bring guns into the venue.

This person not only brought it, but also brought two.

"People in the west don't like fighting and killing."

Chen Jianqiu paused.

"However, if anyone dares to threaten my friend, I will screw his head off."

His eyes are sharp, aggressive, and his words are loud.

Old Henry and this junior exchanged eye contact, sparks sparked with lightning.

He never expected it.

I took over the country from my parents when I was in my thirties, and experienced the Civil War, the Westward Movement, and the financial crisis in 72.
He worked hard for three generations, worked hard, and finally unified the industry.

The DuPont empire took shape.

There are only a few heroes left who competed with him for territory at the beginning, and countless opponents dissipate before his eyes like a passing cloud;

Now, as he was dying, there was a yellow-skinned young man sitting opposite him, challenging his throne.

There was a messy noise outside the door, but it died down quickly.

The door was opened.

Doctor Holiday's pistol to the head of a man in black,

The rest of the people had their hands and feet cut back and were firmly controlled by the people brought by Chen Jianqiu, their faces were ashen.

Their weapons were scattered around their respective feet, and it was unclear whether they had put them down by themselves or were knocked down by others.

Everyone in the hall was a little disturbed by the sight.

This is, the fire merged?

"Mr. Chen, this group of people charged the venue with weapons and were caught by us."

Huo Ledi raised his eyebrows, and blinked at Chen Jianqiuza.

"Chen Jianqiu!!! This is not New Mexico!!!"

Old Henry let out an unstoppable roar, like thunder.

"Snapped!"

The table in the conference hall made the third crisp sound of the day, causing everyone in the hall to shrink their necks in shock.

Chen Jianqiu slapped the table with a rare slap.

The entire table was shaking, and the documents on it were thrown up and scattered on the ground.

He yelled at old Henry tit for tat:
"This isn't Delaware either!!!"

Old Henry didn't move, but the followers around him involuntarily took two steps back, their faces pale.

"We are detectives from the Border Detective Agency, entrusted by Boss Chen, to protect the safety of him and everyone."

Holiday showed his identification and gun permit.

"I said before, no one can touch a single hair of yours!" Chen Jianqiu looked at Old Hadze and other small company representatives.

"I announce that the Hardzer Company will withdraw from the American Gunpowder Association with immediate effect."

Old Hadze stood up and announced solemnly.

"We also quit!" A small company representative who was sitting near Chen Jianqiu also stood up.

He stared at Henry with red eyes and gritted his teeth.

"I will never forget what you did to my father!"

After the personal safety was guaranteed, other small companies also stood up one after another and sued DuPont for the crimes committed.

By the end, the meeting turned into a diatribe against DuPont and Henry himself.

Old Henry's military experience has long given him a steel-like will.

But all this in front of him now made him feel powerless.

Just like he couldn't see the future after Ramon's death.

For the first time in history, his hands began to tremble slightly.

"Your time has passed! Old things! The remnants of the old world cannot board the ship bound for the new age!"

Chen Jianqiu stood up.

Under his leadership, all company representatives who quit the association left.

The conference hall suddenly became empty.

"My lord, my lord."

Henry's entourage whispered beside the old man.

However, without warning, Old Henry fell straight down.

"Master? Master!"

"Doctor! Doctor! Master~"
