Beckland didn't get the opportunity to meet Roque until the third day, in fact, Roque couldn't see Beckerland at this time, it didn't affect the patent of phenolic plastics, Roque had already obtained the authorization of phenolic patents through Sir James Swinburn's Swinburet Company, even if Bakeland returned to New York now, it would not be able to change this fact.

But one reason that cannot be ignored is that Beckland, as a successful entrepreneur and a scientist with more than 100 patents, does have the capital that makes Roque look at it differently.

It took more than ten years for Nyasaland to establish an image that attaches importance to talent and technology, and it cannot be ruined because of the interests of phenolic plastics.

Don't think how big the circle of science and technology is, there are more than a billion people in the world, and no more than 1,000 are qualified to leave their names in the history of science and technology, you can imagine how low this proportion is.

When he walked into Eagle Castle, Beckland's heart was actually apprehensive.

For Bakeland, the DuPont family is already an irresistible behemoth, but the influence of the DuPont family in New York is still not comparable to that of Roque in Nyasaland.

In New York, the DuPont family is just one of many trusts that are at the top of the food chain, but at the same time there are many large family businesses at the top of the food chain.

Roque is different in Nyasaland, the whole of Nyasaland is Roque's fiefdom, Roque is from the top of the food chain in Nyasaland and the Dupont family is at the top of the food chain, but the difference is that Roque is the only one at the top of the food chain in Nyasaland.

As a member of New York's high society, Beckland has also participated in many top mansions and many so-called famous occasions, among which the Eagle Castle is not the most luxurious, and the scale of the building is not the most majestic, but it is certainly the most impressive to Beckland.

Unlike those nouveau riche who are eager to build houses with gold and precious stones, the interior decoration of Eagle Castle can even be regarded as simple in Beckland's eyes, many places are directly bare walls, not even the simplest stucco decoration, the corridors are not full of world-famous paintings, showing the so-called wealthy heritage, and the doorknobs will not use gold, which is ordinary stainless steel.

Or maybe it's other materials.

Roque was not enthusiastic when he saw Bakeland, but this attitude made Baqueland more relaxed, and if Roque was overly enthusiastic, Bakeland would be wary of Roque's harboring evil intentions.

By this time, Beckland must have forgotten the brutality of the police when they took him away from the Table Mountain Hotel, and did not mention Roctty.

"Before I came to L.A., I thought New York was the center of the world, and now I realize that I was wrong, and L.A. is no less than New York in many ways, if not better, and I really regret I should have come and see it sooner." Beckland is really not boasting, he has only been in Los Angeles for three days, but he has a very good impression of Los Angeles.

"I heard from the people at DuPont that you want to have a deeper cooperation with companies in Nyasaland, how about it, do you have any new ideas?" Roque has always wanted to open up the U.S. market, but for various reasons, it has not been enough so far.

This aspect is mainly because Roque did not find a suitable spokesperson, Hoover is good, but Hoover is now more and more inclined to the political direction, not enough business acumen, to put it mildly, Hoover's success is more by chance and asymmetric information advantages, Hoover's own ability is not very good, otherwise he would not have succeeded in being elected president and there were so many failures.

Compared to Hoover, Beckland had a greater advantage, and Bekeland was first a capable scientist and then a successful entrepreneur, and in both fields, Beckland was better than Hoover.

Roque now needs a spokesperson not only for politics, but also for business.

"Yes, compared with the United States, Nyasaland's products have many advantages, such as the automotive industry, in fact, New York has also seen a lot of new car companies in the past two years, Ford's Model T is good, but it can't meet the needs of all New Yorkers." Beckland really loves New York, and his words are actually more appropriate to replace New York with the United States, but New Yorkers have become accustomed to replacing the United States with New York.

Ford and Nyasaland take two completely different paths, Ford only produces the Model T, even the color is black, and all the energy is spent on how to increase production efficiency and produce the most cars in the shortest time to occupy the market.

Nyasaland cars are differentiated from the beginning, the high-end market has Lord, the low-end market has Diesel, and the color models are more abundant, although this is less efficient, but it can better meet the needs of different classes for cars, which is actually very important, such as the T car produced by Ford, which has now become synonymous with cheapness, even if Ford launches a higher-grade model in the future, it cannot change people's deep-rooted impression of Ford.

This Nyasaland car is very good, Lord cars have established a high-end luxury image in the world, and there are many wealthy people in the United States who buy Lord cars from Europe and ship them back to the United States, and there is a joke in the market, a logo of Lord cars can buy ten Ford Model T.

To Roque's regret, the United States does not yet have a branch of the Lord Motors, and Roque has always wanted to sell the Lord cars to the United States openly, but the U.S. government does not agree to the entry of the Lord cars into the United States.

In Europe, the United States is clamoring for free trade, but it is very difficult for European companies to enter the United States, and the United States hopes to introduce European funds, but it does not need European companies.

This is why New York has been trying to compete with London for a global financial center, the United States needs money to develop, and London needs to keep more money in London in order to maintain its status as a global financial center.

"If you want to sell a car from Nyasaland to the United States, do you have any good idea?" Roque didn't have time to beat around the bush, that kind of cloudy and foggy way of talking was not suitable for Roque, everyone was very short on time.

"If you want to sell Nyasaland cars to the United States, the best way is to invest directly in the United States car factories, produce them in the United States, and sell them locally." Beckland was full of hope, but it was not easy to do this, and it was because of this that phenolic plastics did not have a direct factory in Europe.

"Where do you think the factory is the best place?" Roque had obviously thought about it, so he didn't ask why.

Investing in the United States to set up factories, on the surface, does increase jobs in the United States, but also to increase taxes for the U.S. government, but in fact this is a double-edged sword, if Roque invests in the United States, then every time Roque's factory sells one more car, the domestic car factory in the United States will sell one less, not only Ford will be affected, but all the car companies in the United States will be affected.

Even with Ford's seeming monopoly on the U.S. market, there are still other auto companies in the U.S. that have survived, such as General Motors, which was founded a decade ago and has struggled to survive under Ford's strong rule.

"New York, unquestionably New York." Beckland is decisive, even if the factory is opened to the United States, it is not easy to compete with Ford in low-end models, so the most likely to open the market is definitely high-end cars.

Don't think that Americans are pragmatism, the life of the rich is unimaginable to ordinary people, gray shirt jeans are all for the sake of creating an image, a T-shirt is hundreds of dollars, and your T-shirt is really different.

Roque was noncommittal about Beckland's judgment, and then ended his exchange with Beckland.

Investing in a factory in the United States is not a matter of 12,000 yuan, and Roque will not make a decision, although Roque has this right, but it must be discussed with the executives of Nyasaland Motors before Roque makes a decision.

Back at the hotel, Beckland was excited.

Although Roque did not make a clear statement, Beckland still saw the glimmer of hope.

The next night, while dining in the hotel restaurant, someone took the initiative to greet Beckland: "Hello Leo, I'm Mike Carlisle from Nyasaland Motors, can I sit down?" ”

"Of course, of course, please take a seat, it's also very lonely to have dinner alone-" Beckland was enthusiastic, he had been waiting for the response of Nyasaland Automobile after returning to the hotel, Roque was very busy, this kind of thing can only determine a general direction, and if there is follow-up communication, then it must be the communication between Nyasaland Automobile and Beckland.

"The weather is terrible today, it's raining all day." When Mike Carlisle sits down, he habitually starts chatting with the weather, which is as normal as asking "have you eaten" when Chinese people meet.

"I like rainy days so that I can be alone in the office thinking about things that I don't usually have time to think about, and a lot of my inventions are done in the office." Compared to Roque's straightforwardness, Beckland is more accustomed to this opening.

"I might be going to New York with you in a few days, so let's talk about the new company now." Mike Carlisle was still more influenced by Roque, and in Nyasaland, efficiency was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"New company? Do you not use the current company? Beckland was surprised that Lord Motors had already established an image all over the world, and it would be much harder to give it up like that.

"No, starting a new company has nothing to do with the current Nyasaland cars." Mike Carlisle can't help it, the Lord's car has already been stamped with a strong Nyasaland image at the same time, and it is not easy to eliminate it.

Bakeland finally felt Roque's determination.
