Chapter 1187 1 Trouble

Woolsey walked into Crichton's office, both of them feeling a little crestfallen.

"The airline has appeased me and given me one million yuan in compensation," Woolsey said.

Creton nodded. This involved him after all. "Zang Hong is gone. This is an opportunity. How do you arrange it?"

There was a trace of cruelty in Woolsey's eyes: "I sent someone to lobby John Dupont, and he will apply for the job tomorrow morning."

Creton's pupils shrank, that psycho?

But he had to admit that Woolsey's situation had improved and he had learned to use his enemies to fight his enemies.

"Okay. I'll ask the FBI to cooperate." Creton said.

……

the next morning.

Xia Chuan walked into the conference room on time, where hundreds of people gathered again.

Although they all knew that Xia Chuan's standards were extremely high and they had almost no chance of succeeding in applying, these people still wanted to get in touch with Xia Chuan, so that they would at least have something to chat with in the future. Some of them are candidates pretending to be intelligence spies or media reporters.

Xia Chuan sat down and started.

First, a Chinese young man said respectfully: "My name is Xu Guangde, majoring in electronic engineering."

Xia Chuan said casually: "Unqualified."

The young man immediately backed away without any surprise. The only qualified person was Professor Yao, and no one could compare with him.

After a dozen consecutive failures.

Xia Chuan glanced at the middle-aged man who had been very close to him but had been watching.

This middle-aged man is in his fifties, has a long face, and seems to be unkempt, but he is wearing expensive brands. There is a kind of uncertainty in his eyes, which shows that this man's mood changes quickly.

The middle-aged man didn't look any further, walked directly to Xia Chuan, and said domineeringly:

"I'm John Dupont. I have a Ph.D. in natural sciences. I was a teaching assistant at Stanford and have published five books."

Xia Chuan was startled, John Dupont?

Suddenly I remembered that this was the man who shot the Olympic champion in 96.

The DuPont family, with a history of more than 500 years, is the longest-lived company among the world's top companies.

The DuPont family is the oldest, richest, most unique, and largest wealthy family in the United States.

In the 1500s, the DuPont family controlled a fortune of US$250 billion and produced 50 rich people and super rich people.

This family attaches great importance to bloodline, and in order to prevent wealth from flowing out, they adopt the method of marriage within the family.

of course there are exceptions. For example, there was a woman who married into the Roosevelt family. The marriage of wealth and political power allowed DuPont's products to cover the world.

Under normal circumstances, the heir must marry a woman within the family, a cousin, or a cousin.

John DuPont, one of the heirs of the DuPont family, was worth $200 million in the 1980s.

John was withdrawn and surly. He attended the most famous aristocratic private boys' school outside Philadelphia since he was a child. He was recruited by the Ivy League University of Pennsylvania, but dropped out of school and went to the University of Miami to study zoology. Then he returned to a university outside Philadelphia to study natural sciences. Doctor of Science.

At the age of forty-five, he was injured in a car accident and met a physical therapist who was sixteen years younger than him. Within six months, they had a flash marriage. Less than a year after the marriage, the marriage was annulled. Note that it was an annulment of a legal marriage.

As a result, his ex-wife claimed five million in divorce fees. John was accused of pointing a gun at her and pushing her into the fireplace. He had a perverted personality.

These actions were nothing compared to John's later behavior. What he did next was even more incredible. Later, Hollywood specially made his story into a movie "Foxcatcher", although it was not the original story. But it tells a true story of Dupont's tragedy.

John loved wrestling. He invested heavily in building an international-level wrestling training ground at DuPont Ranch and called this private wrestling team the "Foxcatchers."

He used a private plane to fly the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic champion Mark Schultz to the Dupont Ranch. He later persuaded Mark's brother David to join the Foxcatchers as a coach and paid for Mark and David's family to live at his ranch. in the house.

Mark still harbors an Olympic dream in his heart, and is in trouble due to lack of training funds. Being sponsored by DuPont is like pie in the sky. He relies heavily on John, and their relationship is both a teacher and a friend, which is somewhat ambiguous.

It's just that John was unpredictable and encouraged Mark to take drugs, which directly affected Mark's wrestling performance and he never won any Olympic medals.

Mark realized that DuPont's wealth would not help him realize his Olympic dream, but would ruin his life. He resolutely left the DuPont Ranch and persuaded his brother David to leave with him.

It’s just that David and his wife have become accustomed to this comfortable life sponsored by DuPont and don’t want to leave.

After Mark left, John became more domineering and often took his anger out on David.

On a snowy day in the early winter of 1996, John drove to David's house and shot David to death in front of his bodyguards and Mrs. David. After that, without any explanation, John just stayed in a villa on the ranch. I stayed open for two days and negotiated with the police on the phone.

The police cut off the power to his house and caught John when he came out to fix the heater.

John Dupont was a mysterious figure that no one could really understand. Money played an important role in his tragic life, making him arrogant and arrogant, thinking that wealth could bring him everything. As a result, he played with fire and ended up miserably dying of illness in prison in his later years.

Xia Chuan knew this was a mental illness and a trouble.

John Dupont obviously didn't need to apply for the job, and he had a gun in his arms. He was looking for trouble in order to disrupt the recruitment.

The most troublesome thing is that the DuPont consortium is also one of the shareholders of Yike.

It's impossible to use John. Mental illness is qualified. Who else is not qualified?

No need to bother, come right away, with a gun pointed at his head, how will it end?

No matter how the outcome turns out, he will be in trouble of being investigated, and the recruitment will definitely be messed up.

Xia Chuan was not prepared to give John this opportunity. He had to strike with a thunderous blow to defeat even the DuPont consortium, so that those who instigated it would not be able to clear their names. Using the enemy to fight the enemy was the supreme method.

Xia Chuan made a decision almost as soon as he took a breath.

His clear voice spread throughout the conference room, like God's chant, engraved in everyone's hearts, and they will never doubt:

"Woolsey asked you to come?"

John was instantly hypnotized and did not even hear this sentence. If he had heard it, he would have said otherwise, even in the hypnotic state, because it was really not Woolsey, and he did not think it was Woolsey who instigated it.

But everyone else heard it and saw that John didn't protest.

Everyone was shocked.

Xia Chuan continued: "You came here with a gun, do you want to kill me?"

John heard it this time. He shook his head and said, "No, I just want to point at your head and tell you not to continue recruiting. If you don't obey, I will kill you again."

Everyone was instantly horrified, and the pores all over their bodies exploded.
