Chapter 650: Robert Dupont
The reason why Niagara Falls has become one of the world’s three major transnational waterfalls is indeed the beauty that it has to praise for.
In later generations, Niagara Falls attracted close to 14 million tourists every year. This number is actually enough to prove the charm of the Great Falls.
Yang Jing has never been to this great waterfall before. He just heard people say how majestic and majestic this waterfall is, but it was all hearsay. He didn't really feel it until he actually faced the waterfall in person. The majesty of the waterfall.
Although this waterfall is divided into several parts by the island in the middle of the river, even the largest Canadian waterfall, the Horseshoe Falls, is only six to seven hundred meters wide, and the drop is only fifty to sixty meters, but it cannot hold the Niagara River's flow too much. . According to calculations, the flow of this waterfall can reach 6,000 cubic meters per second during the wet season.
What concept is this? It's very simple, just compare it. The annual runoff of the Yellow River is about 58 billion cubic meters, which is about 1840 cubic meters per second on average.
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 mighty water falls from an altitude of more than sixty meters, the sound it makes is extremely loud.
No wonder this waterfall is called "Niagara". This word means "Water of Thor" in Indian language, because Indians believe that the roar of this waterfall is Thor talking.
Yang Jing also personally felt the volume of Thor's old man's speech this time-deafening!
With such a huge sound and a wide waterfall, it naturally formed a natural miracle that shocked people all over the world.
Because of the cold spring, Yang Jing did not take the "Maid of the Mist" sightseeing boat to get close to the waterfall. After all, you have to get close to the waterfall. Although you need to change into waterproof clothes, you will inevitably be beaten by the water mist. wet. In this season, if you get wet all over your body, it's simply to find yourself guilty.
However, there is no close view of the waterfall. Yang Jing actually admired the waterfall from a high altitude, and admired it from three different heights.
The lowest altitude is naturally to take a Spanish-style aerial cable car to admire the waterfall, and then after descending from the cable car, Yang Jing and his group boarded one of the four sightseeing towers around the waterfall, which was more than 100 meters away. Enjoy the great waterfall again in the sky. In the end, Yang Jing happily boarded a hot air balloon and overlooked the entire waterfall at an altitude of several hundred meters, which was another experience.
I spent most of the day playing and didn't return to Livingston until the evening.
But Yang Jing did not live in Nathan's house, but in a five-star hotel.
The next day, Yang Jing played around again, and it was not until the evening when he received a call from Tomnitz, that he returned to Grand Island with a group of people.
"Boss, fortunately, I have successfully completed the work you gave me. As long as you sign these documents, then this Alfred Manor can be renamed Smith Manor or Keith Manor from now on. Manor." As soon as he saw Yang Jing, Tonitz was very excited to report to his work.
I have to say that the future leader of the nation’s largest real estate company is still very efficient. The real time left for him to do things is actually less than a day and a half, but he finished the work in a daze.
Yang Jing nodded with satisfaction and accepted the document, but he did not rush to read it, but looked at the one who followed Tonitz; the two middle-aged people.
Perceiving the look in Yang Jing's eyes, one of the middle-aged people immediately walked up with a smile and said respectfully: "Hello Mr. Smith, I am Robert Dupont, I am glad to meet you. This is my lawyer, Renner. De Lee."
Yang Jing stretched out his hand and shook his hand and said, "I am also glad to meet you, Mr. DuPont."
You can know his identity from the middle-aged man’s surname. DuPont’s surname is very unique in the United States. After all, the DuPont family created by Old DuPont is the oldest family in the United States, not one of them.
Such a family that has passed on for more than two hundred years, and any one of them has his pride. However, this Robert seemed to be very respectful to himself, which made Yang Jing somewhat puzzled.
However, Robert quickly gave an explanation, "Mr. Smith, I am one of the family’s heads of Dow Chemical. The K Investment Fund under your name is now the largest shareholding institution of Dow Chemical. During the stock market crash, it was precisely because of the generous donation of the K Investment Fund that a large amount of Dow Chemical’s shares were repurchased, which prevented Dow Chemical from suffering a greater loss. For this, our DuPont family has always been very grateful to you. Today I am I heard Bernard say that you are on Grand Island, so I rushed over immediately and invited you on behalf of our family to invite you to visit Wilmington."
Yang Jing knows 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 and became the second largest chemical company in the world.
This Robert can serve as the head of Dow Chemical, which shows that his status in the DuPont family is definitely not low, and he should belong to a member of the inner circle.
As for the Wilmington that Robert just mentioned, it is a city in Delaware, and the home of the DuPont family is in Wilmington. Therefore, Robert’s invitation is obviously to invite himself to the DuPont family as a guest.
Yang Jing knows that as the name of the k investment fund is getting bigger and bigger, his name must have become one of the lists of major consortia and even the federal high-level desk, but Yang Jing also knows it very well, even fbi Together with ia, I am afraid that they will not be able to find their roots. At the most they can find out their identity as citizens of the Cayman Islands. Everything else, not to mention the United States, even Mike Aller, they don't know.
So this makes them more and more mysterious~lightnovelpub.net~ They must all want to figure out their origins.
A core figure of the DuPont family came here to invite him a few hundred kilometers away. Although his sincerity was great, Yang Jing was not prepared to accept the invitation.
Keeping mystery is a principle that Yang Jing has always adhered 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 do some things in Canada, so I can only say sorry for your invitation. ."
Hearing Yang Jing's refusal so simply, Robert Dupont showed a trace of regret on his face, "That's really a shame. Many people in our family want to get acquainted with you."
Yang Jing smiled and said, “Don’t worry about this. We will have time and opportunities to get to know each other better in the future. I’m just really sorry, I do have my own itinerary plan.”
Robert Dupont waved his hand to indicate that it’s okay. Then he said: "If Mr. Smith has time now, I would like to show you this manor that will soon belong to you. In fact, I have to say
Speaking of which, although this manor is a bit far away from Wilmington, I am still very familiar with it. When I was young, I lived with my father in this manor for a period of time. When I grow up later, as long as I have time, I will bring my family here for a short stay. Oh, by the way, Alfred is my grandfather. "
No wonder, it turns out that this manor was built by the grandfather in front of him.
