Facing Chen Mo's straightforward questioning, Pierre was not uncomfortable at all.

Perhaps because the United States is still an emerging country and does not have so many cumbersome etiquettes, he just thought about Chen Mo's directness and replied: "The DuPont family mainly operates the gunpowder and chemical industries. We can provide your country with the best help in terms of military factories and petrochemical factories.

As for the shipyard, the DuPont family did not involve this business, but we have a good relationship with the US government and maintain a good friendship with the Navy. If Egypt has needs in this regard, I can recommend the relevant person in charge of the Philadelphia shipyard for you.

As the first shipyard in the U.S. Navy, the Philadelphia Shipyard has a long history and skilled workers, as well as a huge scale of shipbuilding. Whether Egypt wants to develop its own shipbuilding industry or just want to obtain some ships, I think they should be able to help."

Pierre did not play any tricks in front of Chen Mo that he would rather buy than to do. Although capital is profit-seeking, capitalists are not great charity people who open good churches. They must have to squeeze out the last bit of benefits they can get, but as the ruler of a great trust, Pierre knew when to offer what price.

Before coming, he had learned about the current situation in Egypt through various channels.

If the current Egyptian government is only supported by the British and used to control Egypt's puppets, then there is no need to say more. Pierre would offer the most demanding price in an charity attitude and plunder the DuPont family as much as possible.

A puppet government of a weak country, even if it is the UK behind it, does not reject the DuPont family's qualifications.

But it is obvious that Egypt ruled by Chen Mo was not a puppet government controlled by Britain.

Although Britain still controls all aspects of Egypt, it is obvious that Chen Mo is not the kind of puppet he is supported, and he has enough control over Egypt.

This is, on the one hand, from the story of Pierre's nephew Burns, and on the other hand, from the intelligence collection of the DuPont family itself.

After all, we are going to discuss cooperation with a country. How could the DuPont family have no preparations?

It is precisely because he learned enough information that Pierre understood what conditions he should give Chen Mo.

Make money? That's for sure. The DuPont family didn't open a good church, so it's impossible for them to go to Egypt to do charity.

But it is obvious that the DuPont family cannot beg for this cooperation like they treat South American countries. They need to control the conditions of this cooperation within the scope of "normal" commercial cooperation.

Because the Egypt controlled by Chen Mo is a real power regime, this has a completely different meaning for the DuPont family.

After all, doing business with a real power regime can make more money than doing business with a puppet regime, especially as Pierre can see that Chen Mo is an ambitious person and will build this country strong.

Regarding Chen Mo's request, although selling finished products directly is the most profitable, if you regard these conditions that promised Chen Mo now as an investment, investing in a country that will rise will undoubtedly be a very profitable transaction.

Although Pierre has never learned the allusion of Lu Buwei's "single goods are acceptable", the commonalities of merchants' pursuit of profit are interrelated, and Pierre, as a big businessman, still has this vision.

Therefore, it was not so difficult for Pierre to agree to Chen Mo's request to help Egypt establish chemical plants and military plants.

Moreover, from the perspective of merchants, investing in the construction of an arsenal first to open up market demand, and then selling the gunpowder needed to produce bullets and shells to the arsenal is also a profitable channel for making money.

"That's the best, but there will be a dedicated person responsible for discussing the specific business terms with Mr. Pierre. As long as the factory is established, I can authorize your DuPont company to conduct oil exploration and exploitation in the western desert area." Since Pierre knew each other, Chen Mo naturally would not give too harsh conditions, so he would naturally give benefits if he asked the other party to invest in the factory.

This is like attracting investment. You have to give some preferential conditions so that others are willing to invest.

After all, Chen Mo did not intend to let others control these important factories, and the control of them would be firmly in his own hands, giving DuPont's oil exploration and mining rights, but it was just a piece of meat thrown out.

Moreover, for Chen Mo, the oil reserves on Egyptian land were long been discovered in later generations. Now the Suez region, which is still the canal area, is Egypt's largest oil-producing area, accounting for about 75% of Egypt's oil production. In 1910, the Sinai Peninsula, which had oil, was only 5%, and the remaining part was in the western desert area and the eastern desert area.

In Chen Mo's opinion, throwing out a not-so-important oil-producing area in exchange for investment from the DuPont family is not a problem.

Especially in these oil-producing areas, he can still recover them, right?

Of course, if the DuPont family had been so aware of each other and had good business cooperation, and without those ideas that should not have, Chen Mo would not have easily taken back this oil-producing area.

After all, someone pays money to help with construction, mining and refining these oils, which also promotes the industrial development of Egypt itself, not to mention that they have to pay taxes.

——————————————

The meeting with Chen Mo made Pierre feel rewarding. Although the DuPont family still needs to find and exploit the oil in the western desert area by themselves, this also means that the DuPont family can enter the oil industry.

This undoubtedly made Pierre feel that this time's business is very cost-effective. Although from some perspectives, the DuPont family needs to invest huge amounts of money and a lot of manpower and material resources in the land of Egypt, in Pierre's view, these are just advance investments and can be earned back later.

With such a good mood, Pierre undoubtedly became more and more kind to his nephew.

"Burns, have you ever thought about working for the family?" In the hotel where you are staying, Pierre was talking cordially with his nephew like an uncle rather than the DuPont family: "I have already negotiated with the Lord Chen Mo to invest in Egypt, and will send someone from the United States to establish a branch. Since you have a friendship with Lord Chen Mo, I think you can find a good position for yourself in the branch, so that I think your mother will be very happy."

"Do I need to work in Egypt?" Burns did not reject this matter. He was only considering what he should do if he needed to work in Egypt, a country that gave him a psychological shadow in the future.
