Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 45 A devastating weapon (first update, please collect it)
  In the 40s, Long Island, New York, was not a paradise for the rich. It was full of large cornfields and potato fields. Because the land was cheap, many people were attracted to build factories here.

Clare Chemical Pesticide Company, located on Long Island.

This company is medium in size, but has very complete facilities. However, as a chemical pesticide company, it seems to have little role in the war. It can neither produce weapons nor poison gas.

It's just the same as before, producing pesticides.

Although the war did not bring huge orders to the company, it also did not affect the company's production.

Because of this, the company's board of directors has no need to sell the company.

But that doesn't matter. Sometimes, all that's needed is a check.

Half a month ago, Zhang Weilun came here as a lawyer of Zhenhua Company. At the board meeting, he directly took out a check for US$100 million.

Then, the board of directors immediately agreed to sell the company as a whole - after all, the money was enough for them to build a new, larger factory.

Who would refuse such a business?

"Time, what we need is time!"

Li Yian explained to Zhang Weilun and others.

"We don't have two or even three years to build a factory..."

When the new factory is built, the cucumbers and vegetables are cold, and the war is over, who will the company's products be sold to?

The simplest way was to acquire, so Claire Chemical Pesticide Company was renamed KTJ Chemical Company and became the third subsidiary of Zhenhua Company. The KTJ laboratory is located within the company.

The chemists present came from all over the United States, including young people like Galston and Sun Tianlei, as well as well-known scholars in the field of organic chemistry. They were all surprised by Li Yian's arrival.

The owner of KTJ company is actually Chinese!
  The Chinese students who were invited here, like Sun Tianlei and Zhao Zheng, all looked a little excited. They believed that this news would definitely detonate the entire study abroad community.

After all, this is America!
  Don’t all Chinese own laundries and restaurants?
  Now someone actually opened a modern factory!

Li Yian is used to facing people's surprise. He was used to this kind of look at Carl Metal Company. But there is nothing to be proud of in this look. The reason why people are surprised is because of the stereotype of the Chinese, which in itself is discrimination against the Chinese.

Why can’t Chinese people open factories and businesses?
  Why can’t Chinese people engage in scientific and technological research?

Li Yian stood there with a calm expression, his eyes bright and firm.

"Gentlemen, this laboratory may not be large in scale, but I believe that as the starting point of our career, it will definitely shock the entire world. For this reason, we need to review our research direction."

Looking around at everyone, although Li Yian did not speak loudly, everyone felt the confidence in his words.

"And I have gathered you from all over the United States for a very simple purpose, which is to further study the "Plant Growth Regulator" invented by Mr. Arthur Galston..."

Turning our attention to Arthur Galston, who would have thought that the famous "Agent Orange" was invented by this 23-year-old young man?
  If it weren't for the fact that "Agent Orange" was so notorious that people dug deep into the ground to trace its origins. Even if Li Yian came from the future, he would never have imagined that this thing had been invented during World War II and could be industrialized. However, it is a pity that by the time the U.S. military discovered its potential military potential, the war was already nearing the end. Testing began in June 45, and the results were promising. The U.S. military immediately placed an order for 6 million liters to prepare. Sprinkle a large amount of it on Japanese soil, completely destroying the ecological foundation of its agriculture, and turning it into a barren land where crops can no longer grow within half a year. Japan's environment will also be completely destroyed.

The US bomber force has made detailed plans and plans to dispatch 9000 heavy bombers and spray 5000 million liters of defoliant. If the effect is not enough, more will be added. The United States estimates that with the arrival of winter, under the influence of defoliants, Japan, which has lost its autumn grain harvest, will soon fall into famine. The resulting famine will cause a population loss of 2000 million people, which is about the same. One third of the population was lost.

In this way, you don't even need to land, you just need to wait for Japan to surrender if it can't hold on. To a certain extent, Japan's surrender in August 1945 was indeed a blessing for them.

This stuff is good stuff!
  Since it is a good thing, it should be shared with the world. Especially to share it with Xiaoli.

Therefore, in line with the concept of sharing to benefit the world, Li Yi'an spent huge sums of money to directly buy this chemical factory with an annual output of 5000 tons of pesticides, and recruited dozens of chemists including the inventor Arthur Galston. .

The purpose is to let the little days be enjoyed in advance.

Maybe Li Yian can't make an atomic bomb, but he can still make pesticides to help disinfect his little life.

Don't let your little life miss such a good thing!

Li Yian continued,
  "The use of this substance will cause leaves to fall off soybean plants and increase fruit yield. Now we need to further study it, not only for its own research, but also for its use in other fields."

Galston, the inventor, asked quickly.

"Mr. Li, may I know what field it is in?"

"military!"

The words that came out of Li Yian's mouth made everyone present stunned. A American in his fifties questioned directly.

"How is this possible when plant growth regulators are used on the battlefield?"

"Why is it impossible?"

Li Yian said.

“Since it can detach leaves from soybeans to increase yield, can it detach leaves from soybeans?”

Everyone was surprised and said one after another.

"What? Making the leaves fall off? What military use would that have?"

Looking at the people with surprised expressions and whispering to each other, Li Yian said with a smile.

"Gentlemen, use your imagination. Okay, now let's get to work. You know, the soldiers in the Pacific are looking forward to the results of your work!"
