Chapter 125 The arrival of the DuPont family and the four largest retailers in the United States
Three days passed in a flash. On this day, Zhou Zheng slept until dawn again, took a shower, changed into a handsome and well-tailored suit, and had breakfast. Not long after, his subordinates came in and said that Mike John and a group of people came to visit him.
Zhou Zheng asked his men to take the group to the reception room of the presidential suite and he would be there soon.
Zhou Zheng slowly walked to the living room of the presidential suite. Mike John saw Zhou Zheng coming and walked over to him with a smile. "Mr. Zhou, we meet again. I think you've become much more handsome!"
"Hahaha..."
"It's been a few days since we last met. Mike, you're still as elegant as ever!"
"Hahaha..."
After saying that, the two hugged each other.
Then Mike John introduced Mr. DuPont, the president of Lockheed Martin, to Zhou Zheng, and then introduced Mr. DuPont to Mr. Zhou Zheng.
When Mr. Dupont saw Zhou Zheng, he couldn't help but exclaimed loudly, "Wow...Mr. Zhou looks very young? So handsome!"
Zhou Zheng smiled and said to DuPont in fluent English, "Mr. DuPont looks elegant, mature, handsome and charming! I believe that Mr. DuPont must have many young and beautiful girls in the United States who are fascinated by his mature, handsome and elegant appearance. They all want to marry him and have children with him, right?"
DuPont burst into laughter when he heard Zhou Zheng praising him in fluent English.
"Hahaha..."
Mr. Dupont obviously agreed with what Zhou Zheng said, and then said with a smile, "Mr. Zhou, is this your Chinese style of humor?"
"Yes, this is Chinese humor."
"Well...I really like your Chinese humor."
Then Mike John introduced the American grain tycoons, meat processing tycoons, sugar tycoons, and pharmaceutical tycoons, and Zhou Zheng shook hands and greeted them one by one.
He said to them, "Please wait for a moment, my friends. After I finish talking with Mr. DuPont, I will discuss the business with you in detail. Please have a cup of coffee first. I guarantee that the business we will discuss will satisfy you."
The tycoons didn't care about this. They all knew Mr. DuPont and smiled and said, "Please talk to Mr. Zhou first. We're not in a hurry." Zhou Zheng smiled and said sorry, then took Mr. DuPont to a room in the presidential suite to discuss business.
After Zhou Zheng and DuPont came into the room and sat down, DuPont handed a cigarette to Zhou Zheng, then took a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Zhou Zheng took the cigarette from DuPont and lit it for DuPont with a lighter.
Then he lit one for himself. After the two of them took a few puffs, Dupont spoke first, saying, "I've seen the list of weapons and equipment Mr. Zhou wants to buy. Doesn't Mr. Zhou only need these? Doesn't he need more? Or maybe some other heavy equipment, like tanks?"
Zhou Zheng was overjoyed when he heard Dupont say this, and quickly replied, "Mr. Dupont, can we buy more of these? Can we also buy heavy equipment like tanks?"
When DuPont heard Zhou Zheng ask this, he was very happy. Only his family knew the pain in DuPont's heart.
Today, all walks of life in American society are full of crises and inflationary pressure is very high. Just like the DuPont family's Lockheed Martin Company, it looks very prosperous on the surface, but in fact the entire company is full of crises and may go bankrupt if things go wrong!
The company's warehouse was piled high with various weapons and equipment, bullets, shells, grenades, cannons, tanks, etc., all of which could not be sold.
The current influence of the United States in the international community is not that great. It can only sell arms to the National Army. It cannot buy more arms than the British, Germans, and the Soviet Union in the international community, so the situation of the DuPont family in the United States is quite embarrassing.
The US military is fully equipped with all kinds of weapons and ammunition, and the demand is not large. In the past life, it seemed that they had been holding on until the outbreak of World War II. The DuPont family survived this crisis, and with the arrival of large orders for weapons and equipment, they made a fortune until today.
So when the DuPont family heard Mike John say that there were forces in China that needed to purchase large quantities of weapons and equipment, the DuPont family went crazy and were all overjoyed.
He immediately flew thousands of miles and made many detours to Shanghai just to have a face-to-face and detailed discussion with Zhou Zheng so that he could buy more weapons and equipment to take back. The more the better, and it would be best if he could buy out all the stock in their Lockheed Martin warehouse.
"Hahaha..."
"Mr. Zhou, our DuPont family's Lockheed Martin is the largest manufacturer and supplier of weapons and equipment in the United States. We produce all types of firearms and ammunition, including pistols, rifles, submachine guns, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, various types of artillery and heavy artillery, as well as tanks, and all types of bullets and shells."
"As long as Mr. Zhou wants it, all these weapons and equipment are fine."
