Chapter 650 Robert Dupont
The reason why Niagara Falls has become one of the three largest transnational waterfalls in the world is that it has beautiful scenery that it has to praise.
In later generations, Niagara Falls attracted nearly 14 million tourists every year, and this number is actually enough to prove the charm of the Falls.
Yang Jing had never been to this big waterfall before, but he had heard of how majestic this waterfall was, but it was heard from him. It was not until he really faced the waterfall himself that he could truly feel the majesty of this waterfall.
Although the waterfall is divided into several parts by the islands in the middle of the river, even the largest Canadian waterfall, namely the Horseshoe Falls, is only six or seven hundred meters wide and the drop is only fifty or sixty meters, the flow rate of the Niagara River is too large. According to calculations, during the flood season, the flow rate of this waterfall can reach 6,000 cubic meters per second.
What is this concept? It’s very simple, just compare it to you to know. The annual runoff of the Yellow River is about 58 billion cubic meters, and the average is about 1,840 cubic meters per second.
The flow of Niagara Falls is as high as 6,000 cubic meters per second, which is more than three times the average flow of the Yellow River...
Therefore, when such a vast water falls from a height of more than 60 meters, the sound is extremely huge.
No wonder this waterfall is called "Niagara". The word in Indian language means "Thunder Water", because the Indians believe that the roar of the waterfall is Thor talking.
This time, Yang Jing also personally felt what the volume of Thunder God was talking about - deafening!
Such a huge sound combined with the wide waterfall naturally formed a natural miracle that shocked everyone in the world.
Because the spring is chilly, Yang Jing did not take the "Girl in the Mist" sightseeing boat to get close to the waterfall. After all, he needs to get close to the waterfall. Although he needs to change into waterproof clothes, he will inevitably be moistened by the mist. In this season, his whole body is wet, which is simply causing trouble for himself.
However, without appreciating the waterfall at close range, Yang Jing admired the waterfall from a high altitude, and it was appreciated at three different heights.
The lowest height is naturally to take the Spanish-style high-altitude cable car to enjoy the waterfall. After getting off the cable car, Yang Jing and his group climbed one of the four sightseeing towers surrounding the waterfall, and enjoyed the waterfall again at an altitude of more than 100 meters. Finally, Yang Jing climbed a hot air balloon with great enthusiasm and overlooked the entire waterfall from a height of hundreds of meters, which was another experience.
I spent most of the day having fun and didn't return to Leviston until the evening.
However, Yang Jing did not live in Nathan's home, but in a five-star hotel.
The next day, Yang Jing had a tour around again, and it was not until he received a call from Tom Niz in the evening that he took his group back to Grand Island.
"Boss, fortunately, I have completed the work you assigned to me successfully. As long as you sign these documents, this Alfred Manor can be changed to Smith Manor or Cole Manor from now on." As soon as I saw Yang Jing, Tom Niz was very excited to report on his work.
I have to say that this future helmsman of the largest real estate company in the United States is still very efficient. The time left for him to do business is actually less than one and a half days, but he completed the work.
Yang Jing nodded with satisfaction and took the document, but he did not rush to read it, but looked at the two middle-aged men following Tom Niz.
Aware of Yang Jing's eyes, one of the middle-aged men immediately walked up with a smile and said respectfully: "Hello Mr. Smith, I am Robert K. DuPont, I am very happy to know you. This is my lawyer, Leonard Lee."
Yang Jing stretched out his hand and shook it with him and said, "I am also very happy to know you, Mr. DuPont."
You can know his identity from the middle-aged man's surname. The surname DuPont is very unique in the United States. After all, the DuPont family created by old DuPont is the oldest family in the United States, no doubt about it.
Any of these families that have been passed down for more than 200 years have his pride. However, Robert seems to be very respectful to him, which makes Yang Jing a little puzzled.
However, Robert quickly explained, "Mr. Smith, I am one of the heads of the family at Dow Chemical. The ky investment fund under your name is now the largest holding institution of our Dow Chemical. And in the stock market crash last year, it was precisely because of the generous donation of ky investment fund that Dow Chemical's shares were repurchased in large quantities, which prevented Dow Chemical from suffering greater losses. Our DuPont family has always been very grateful to you. Today I heard Bernard say that you are on Grand Island, so I rushed over immediately and on behalf of our family, I invited you to visit Wilmington for a visit."
Yang Jing knew that although Dow Chemical is now a separate company and the largest chemical company in the United States, the actual controller behind it is the DuPont family. In later generations, Dow Chemical even merged with DuPont, becoming the world's second largest chemical company.
This Robert was able to serve as the head of Dow Chemical, which shows that his status in the DuPont family is definitely not low and should be a member of the core circle.
As for what Robert just mentioned, Wilmington is a city in Delaware, the DuPont family’s nest is located in Wilmington. Therefore, Robert’s invitation is very obvious, which is to invite himself to visit the DuPont family.
Yang Jing knew that as the name of KY Investment Fund became bigger and bigger, his name must have become one of the list of major consortiums and even federal high-level office desks. However, Yang Jing knew very well that even if FBI and CIA joined forces, they would probably not be able to find out their roots. At most, they could find out that they were a citizen of the Cayman Islands. Everything else, let alone the United States Federation, even Mike Aller and others didn't know.
So this makes them more mysterious, and they must all want to figure out their origins.
A core figure of the DuPont family actually arrived here not far away hundreds of kilometers to invite him. Although this sincerity is very strong, Yang Jing was not ready to accept the invitation.
Maintaining mystery is a principle that Yang Jing always adheres to.
"Mr. DuPont, I'm sorry, I have no plans to go to Delaware for the time being. After I buy this manor of your family, I will continue to go north to Canada to do something, so I can only say sorry for your invitation."
Hearing Yang Jing's rejection so simply, Robert DuPont showed a hint of regret on his face, "That's really a pity. Many people in our family want to meet you."
Yang Jing smiled and said, "No rush. We have time and opportunities to deepen our understanding of each other in the future. I am just really sorry, I do have my own itinerary."
Robert DuPont waved his hand and said, "If Mr. Smith has time now, I want to take you to visit this manor that will belong to you. In fact, although this manor is a little far from Wilmington, I am still very familiar with it. When I was young, I lived with my father in this manor for a while. Later, when I grew up, whenever I had time, I would take my family here for a short stay. Oh, by the way, Alfred is my grandfather."
