019 Miss Ten Thousand Dollars

(Suddenly I found that the status has been changed, so I will update three times from now on. The update time is 7:00 in the morning, 1:00 in the afternoon, 7:00 in the evening, and the addition of the update is uncertain. God? Monster? Brother gave the first reward yesterday, so I added one more update today - as usual, please collect, recommend, evaluate, and ask for various questions -)

Cowboys and other things can only be considered Li Mu's hobby, and Li Mu's ideal is to become the largest apartment in the world in this era.

It was obvious that Mike didn't want to deal with animals anymore. The position of doctor in the delegation was very good for Mike, and he was well-fed and decent enough. Mike had no interest in the job of "groom".

Mike's interest was on Li Mu's drawings, so after hearing Li Mu's jokes, Mike made a fuss and quickly pulled the topic apart and stopped getting entangled in this issue.

"According to your calculations, how much does this drawing cost?" Mike had no idea about his possessiveness. If Mike's ability is within Mike's ability, Mike would not hesitate.

"I have told you that it depends on how much I need to spend. If two hundred dollars is enough to pay the entire fee, then two hundred dollars is enough. If one thousand dollars is not enough to pay the fee, then one thousand dollars is not enough." Li Mu is also a good deal when doing business. Anyway, it is a rare item, and there is another month to find a buyer, so Li Mu is confident.

Even if Mike can't afford it, it doesn't matter. Li Mu can still find someone else, such as Colt, which produces the revolver on Li Mu's waist. If Li Mu goes to the person in charge of Colt, then Colt's person in charge will probably be very interested in this drawing.

Of course, if you go to Colt's person in charge, there are hidden dangers. After all, "two-action grab" and "single-action grab" only have one more transmission structure. From a technical perspective, this is not a qualitative improvement. It only takes a change of ideas. It is not difficult for Colt to get it out, so the key is still a patent. However, Li Mu really doesn't have time to wait for the end of the public announcement period, so Li Mu will sell this drawing.

Li Mu doesn't care about this hidden danger. For designs like "double-action pistol", Li Mu has so many designs in his head that he can easily make a series, from revolver to assault pistols. Of course, to the level of automatic pistols, Li Mu can provide only one concept, and more details need a weapon designer to turn into drawings.

"Ha, then this is a bottomless pit. You will never find a buyer." Mike put down the drawings in his hand with a little discouraged look, but he did not give up. The method of playing hard to get is also very experienced.

"It's not all, I only need a start-up capital, so about - five hundred dollars, only five hundred dollars is enough." Li Mu did not ask for a price all over the place.

Five hundred dollars, this is indeed a very tangled number for Mike.

During the past few days with Mike, Li Mu knew some of Mike's family background. Although Mike was a veterinarian, Mike was also an absolute rich man in the United States at this time.

Mike was indeed looking for opportunities to go to the East, but becoming a doctor hired by the Qing government was definitely not all of Mike's ideals. As far as Li Mu knew, Mike took advantage of the opportunity of the Qing government's chartering a boat to the United States and brought a large number of private goods in the cargo hold, all of which were tea and porcelain. If he returned to the United States, it would immediately turn into a large sum of money, so Mike is now a rich man.

Five hundred dollars is indeed not much or less for Mike. The Qing government still attached great importance to international students and offered Mike an annual salary of two thousand dollars. With this Mike, he could enter the class of the class in the United States, and at least he was the one who had a better job among the middle class.

So Mike hesitated for about two seconds and then made a decision: "Five hundred dollars - well, I bought it, but you have to make a guarantee that there can only be one such drawing."

"A word is determined!" Li Mu was in a great mood and immediately made a promise to Mike.

This promise is not worth a penny for Li Mu, because Li Mu can come up with better drawings at any time, but it is very important for Mike. Li Mu only took less than half an hour to make such a drawing. If Li Mu draws a few more copies, it would really make Mike cry without tears.

"I'll give you two hundred dollars first, and another three hundred dollars will be given to you after you arrive in New England. You know, I need time to turn my goods into money." Two hundred dollars is a lot of money. After all, a family of five has less than one hundred dollars a year at this time, and Mike only has more than two hundred points, and of which one hundred and fifty dollars were given to Mike.

Tsk, Li Mu is really capable. Before he arrived in the United States, he contributed more than 10,000 US dollars to the GDP of the United States. This speed should be unprecedented.

"Give me one hundred dollars first, and for the other one hundred dollars, you can buy me five train tickets from San Francisco to New England. The insufficient part will be deducted from the next three hundred dollars." Li Mu is in a good mood now and doesn't care whether Mike will tamper with the price of the ticket.

"Okay, okay, I'll go and buy your train tickets for Miss Ten Thousand Dollars." Mike was also satisfied, and carefully folded the drawings and stuffed them into his close-fitting pocket, giving Chuxue a nickname very unkindly.

As for why it is ten thousand instead of eight thousand, it can be understood as a number of more than one thousand, but Mike is not sure.

Soon, "Miss Ten Thousand US dollars" her father stood in front of Li Mu, waiting for Li Mu's orders in fear.

In fact, Lao Yantou was not old. People in the Qing Dynasty had the habit of getting married early. Although Lao Yantou had three children, he was only in his early thirties. Of course, due to years of hard work, Lao Yantou looked a little older than his actual age. Even his hair on his temples was a little gray and his wrinkles on his face were also very clear, which made Lao Yantou look a little honest and honest.

According to the standards of the Qing people, Lao Yantou is still very good. His height of 1.75 meters is higher than that of Li Mu today. He can be considered taller in the Qing Empire, with a relatively straight facial features. If he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, he can still take advantage of it if he cleans up.

This is also normal. Although Old Yan is a servant, he is also a servant from the royal palace. Not to mention being rich and well-behaved, he will not sleep in the open. If he looks crooked, he is not qualified to follow the fat man across the ocean, and it is even more impossible to give birth to a beautiful woman like Miss Ten Thousand USD.

Li Mu didn't say nonsense and handed over the 100 dollars he had just obtained to Lao Yan, which made Lao Yan even more frightened. Although Lao Yan couldn't understand the words on the US dollar, he could draw a conclusion from the amount of banknotes: this must be more than the thirty taels of silver he gave just now.

"You don't have to stay in San Francisco. We can go to New England together. You should put away the money first. You are my housekeeper now. If you can't, give the money to your wife and let your wife be the housekeeper." Li Mu suddenly thought of the question of the housekeeper's choice. From an economic perspective, it is more appropriate for women to manage money.
