Chapter 930 - 317, the second batch of Tarot Society members_3
Currently, the number of military factories in the United States is not small, but this figure has already declined following several years of a severe downturn in the military-industrial sector. One must know that before World War I, the number of military factories in the United States was more than double the current count.
It can be said that the American military-industrial sector is now in its winter period, and yet Donnie is considering entering this field at such a time.
This caused a few of the previously enthusiastic individuals to feel slightly disappointed.
However, amidst them, there was someone with an unusual expression.
This person was Pierre DuPont, a newly inducted 12th-level member of the Tarot Society!
Although Pierre DuPont is currently the nominal president of General Motors, the DuPont Family’s arms business has never ceased.
In fact, to some extent, before 1900, the DuPont Family’s influence in the military-industrial sector exceeded even the Rockefeller Family’s dominance in oil.
In its early years, the Rockefeller Family, due to its monopoly on oil, faced intervention by the White House and eventually had to dismantle its family oil empire. Although, thanks to Old Rockefeller’s extraordinary skills, on paper, the Rockefeller Family’s oil business was split up, in reality, those fragmented oil companies resembled extensions of the Rockefeller Family.
Nevertheless, the splitting event did indeed occur.
On the other hand, the DuPont Family in the arms sector did not face such a situation. One reason is that arms enterprises are distanced from daily livelihood, making it hard for the public to observe the DuPont Family’s business in ordinary times.
