?Thomson's eyes became brighter and brighter as he listened to Doug's description, and even forgot to continue to enjoy the steak on the table.

He never thought that he could do this.

His idea of ​​opening a steak restaurant was not only revealed to Doug, but almost all the weapons merchants he had come into contact with had heard of his ideas about the steak restaurant.

However, none of those people was like Doug.

None of them agreed with his idea of ​​opening a steak restaurant, and they used various reasons to make him excuses.

Even if the steak is delicious, people with status will not eat it.

What's the economy is not good now, and no one comes after the steak restaurant is opened.

In short, disappointment was completely disappointed with the weapons merchants.

Even some weapons companies owners give him a sum of money directly, as if he was a greedy person.

All right……

really……

He doesn't need money either, but...

but!

Doug is different!

This young man, who seemed very different, not only did not refute his idea, but also quickly set up a set of implementation plans for this idea.

Although, he knew that the implementation plan would not be as easy and perfect as he said.

But, having is better than not.

Maybe it will succeed?

Even if it fails, it is not your own money.

When Thomson was calculating gains and losses, Doug was also calculating.

However, what he cares about is not the gains and losses of money, but what he can get after winning Thomson through the steak restaurant.

New Haven is not big, but it is never small.

As the hinterland of the core area of ​​the United States, the economy here ranks upstream throughout the United States and even the whole world.

Although the militia organization is not a regular army, it is just nominally not, in fact it is a formal army.

For such a team, they are equipped with a full set of standard weapons, Winchester Weapons Company and Shiraishi Security Company, this matter alone is enough for them to be busy for a while.

Regardless of how much money you make, at least you can become more professional through this "get it" this time.

In addition, the fame that can be earned can also be converted into money.

As for the steak shop itself, although Doug has never made a steak shop himself, he has seen many fast food shops.

Having seen it does not mean having done it, nor does it mean being proficient.

However, in this era when the fast food chain model has not yet appeared.

With just one idea, you can do many things.

Without having to face refined competition, the target audience will keep a fresh look at it.

As long as it goes well, there will be no big losses.

After all, Doug didn't expect a steak restaurant to open a full branch all over the world.

Even Doug thought that it would be great if there were several stores in New England or Connecticut. I believe Thomson would be satisfied with this.

Dinner is over.

Doug and Thomson on both sides of the dining table hugged each other again.

This time, although there was no red wine embellishment, both of them gained what they wanted.

Everyone thinks they make money, and no one thinks they lose money.

Doug took his carriage and left Thomson's villa.

Not long after, all the weapons companies in New Haven learned about the conversation between the two.

Confidentiality is impossible, and it is impossible to keep it confidential in this life.

In Thomson's villa, there are so many servants and so low salary, they have long been penetrated by those with intentions like a sieve.

Don't Thomson know?

Maybe know.

Perhaps, he still thinks that there is no secret around him, which is a good thing.

Perhaps he has gained a lot of benefits from this, but who knows?

No matter in that era, those who can achieve something are not stupid people.

Whether it is the bosses of weapons companies or the commanders of militia organizations.

Many things that seem incredible to outsiders may be exactly what they do on purpose.

After all, the interests of militia are the interests of militia, and the interests of militia commanders are the meaning of militia commanders.

If you want to use the interests of the group to measure the actions of those in power, it is often not so accurate.

At the same time, the news that Winchester Weapons, which had higher explosives, began to spread rapidly along with the traffic lines.

In Delaware, there seemed to be a "bang bang" explosion coming from the DuPont factory next to the Brandy River.

DuPont has been around for almost sixty years.

In the 1780s, DuPont was an apprentice in the Lavassi laboratory in France. As a young man, he quickly learned how to synthesize explosives.

Four years later, he left France and immigrated to Delaware, USA. He bought a piece of land on the banks of the Brandy River and began to build a gunpowder factory.

With the blessing of the halo of Ravassi's laboratory, he raised more than $360,000 in the United States in the early 19th century.

Holding these funds, he suddenly became the largest gunpowder manufacturing company in the United States.

Two more years later, DuPont finally began mass production and sales of gunpowder.

Another year later, the first batch of gunpowder was exported to Spain.

By the 1810s, the annual output of gunpowder had exceeded 200,000 pounds and annual sales exceeded 120,000 US dollars. DuPont deserves its reputation as the largest gunpowder manufacturer in the United States.

However, after entering the 1850s, DuPont's life was not that good.

Although gunpowder can be sold a lot every year, explosives that European scientists have begun to try have begun to erode the DuPont market.

Gunpowder and explosives, although they belong to the same category of products.

However, explosives are more powerful than gunpowder. The explosions produce higher power.

If it weren't for existing explosives, there would be many transportation safety issues, and the market for gunpowder would be even less.

However, despite the crisis, DuPont has not made many measures to deal with it.

Although DuPont, like other chemical companies, was initiated and established by chemists.

However, unlike those European companies established by chemists who have solely owned by chemists, DuPont was the construction capital obtained through the form of raising stocks.

The gunpowder market has been particularly good over the past few decades.

Whether it is domestic sales or foreign sales, it has always been relatively stable.

In this case, a problem is encountered.

It is the capitalists who hold stocks, and they think chemists are useless.

They even feel that it is unnecessary for chemists to spend so much money each year to study new gunpowder.

The money invested in research is worse than we use to pay dividends.

When the founder DuPont was still alive, the situation could still be suppressed.

But when he died and his child took over his position, things changed.

Capitalists began to use various methods to increase profits.

There are only two ways to increase profits. One is to make more money, and the other is to save more expenses.

The global gunpowder trade has maintained a relatively stable benchmark.

Since there is no way to continue to expand the market, it is better to save money.

Scientific research funds have been cut off, and employed personnel have been cut off.

A large number of scientific researchers and workers who left DuPont decided to build their own factories and become their own masters.

How could DuPont capitalists who have already enjoyed enough sweetness in the gunpowder market allow such factories to be established and eat their own market?

Therefore, as long as the scientific researchers and workers who set up their own factory will die one after another.

DuPont does not hide much about this. After all, with DuPont's current size, he has actually monopolized the US gunpowder market. What is he hiding his intention?

Even once this kind of money making money has formed, they still maintain the status quo when they know that there are scientists in Europe who have developed explosives that are much better than gunpowder.
