380 Appetite
The carriage drove into Junma Town, and there were children wearing small military uniforms on the roadside posters. These children were members of the Boy Scouts of Junma Group.
Without Li Mu's intervention, the world's first boy scout would have been established in the early 20th century. Now Li Mu will definitely not let this record fall. Just this year, with the emergence of the first batch of primary school graduates, the Junma Group will establish the world's first boy scout and receive a certain degree of military training every summer.
The concept of Boy Scouts is not limited to children. Children between the ages of six and a half to seventeen can join Boy Scouts. The average life expectancy is not enough these days. By the age of eighteen, they will be a general youth. Generally speaking, they can start a family and start a career.
By doing this, Li Mu will enter the youth stage by next year at the latest.
Of course, this is calculated based on the reported age, and Li Mu's actual age should be smaller.
In this world, the Boy Scouts are the first organization founded by the Junma Group. The organizational form and activity content are naturally decided by the Junma Group. Li Mu arranged for the Boy Scouts to receive corresponding training according to the age of the Boy Scouts. The younger children mainly let them understand the concepts of group and team. When they get a little older, they can receive a certain degree of expansion training, which will affect their lives.
The clothing of the Boy Scouts is very distinct, unlike the earthy yellow clothing commonly used by the US military. The Boy Scouts of the Junma Group generally use khaki, and the logo of the Junma Group and the Boy Scouts are embroidered on the chest of the clothes.
Regarding the Boy Scout logo, Li Mu did not bother to design it, but directly took over the former logo, which became the original creation of Junma Group.
The shape of the Boy Scout logo is like a compass, which is intended to remind every scout that must truly and reliably maintain the ideal of the scout and move towards the right direction like a compass. In addition, the three tips represent "three main contents of the Scout promise" respectively; the five-pointed stars on both sides represent "truth and knowledge"; the knotted ropes surrounding the surrounding represent "unity of the Scout movement". No matter how you pull it, it cannot be pulled open. The tighter the more you pull it, it means that the Scout movement is more united; the color is white and purple is the base, white represents purity, and purple represents leadership and helping others.
Very complete design, and Li Mu does not need to start a new job.
Like the standard clothing of the employees of Junma Group, the Scouts' clothing is also equipped with a cowboy hat. Because the Scouts only operate in summer, the Scouts' clothing is only summer clothing. The upper body is a half-sleeved shirt with metal mother-child buttons, the lower body is Western shorts, and the stockings that wrap around the calf are also embroidered with the Scout logo. The leather sandals on the feet are also specially customized.
Just in Junma Town, Boy Scouts are very popular.
Many employees of Junma Weapons Company are dual-employees. There is no summer vacation in the factory, so no one can care about the children who are on the summer vacation. The appearance of Boy Scouts is just right, which can not only strengthen the children's bodies, but also allow children's parents to go to work with peace of mind. So almost all children in Junma Weapons Factory will join Boy Scouts.
Rockefeller didn't know the meaning of the Boy Scouts yet, and Li Mu didn't mean to explain to Rockefeller. The carriage came directly to the Junma Affiliated School.
Zhang Leye and Oliveira were waiting for Li Mu at the school gate.
Li Mu did not notify him to come back with Rockefeller, but thanks to the best-selling of Time magazine, Zhang Leye and Oliveira both knew Rockefeller, the oil tycoon. When he met Rockefeller, Zhang Leye and Oliveira performed very calmly and did not have much of a sense of flattery.
Of course, it will not be flattered. In terms of economic strength, Li Mu is not inferior to Rockefeller. In terms of influence, after the auction, Junma Group and Rose Company made a strong presence again, so Li Mu is now a stolen person, even bigger than Rockefeller's background.
"Mr. Rockefeller wants to visit our school. Oliveira, you can take Mr. Rockefeller for a good move later." Li Mu threw Rockefeller to Oliveira, and he and Zhang Leye returned to the office first.
Li Mu has no office at Junma Affiliated School. This is Oliveira's office. The world map and the United States map are hung on the office wall. The map is not very accurate. After all, this is an era without satellite remote sensing, so there is no need to be too strict.
The office decoration is simple and elegant, which is also the consistent style of all offices of Junma Group. In order to facilitate cleaning, there is no wooden flooring on the floor. This is a clear contrast. You should know that the classrooms of Junma Affiliated School have been laid with wooden flooring, but the principal's office is not laid, which fully reflects the style of Junma Group.
Sitting behind the wide desk, Li Mu picked up a photo frame on the table. The frame was Oliveira's family. Li Mu still had an impression of the little girl in the photo. It was two or three years ago. It was probably the little girl who has grown into a big girl now.
Thinking of the scene when he met Oliveira that day, Li Mu subconsciously smiled. It was only two or three years later, but it seemed that it had happened a long time ago.
Zhang Leye personally made coffee for Li Mu, picked up a cup himself, and sat opposite Li Mu: "Henry is still in Washington and will not come back until tomorrow. Mr. Langkell and Henry are with him. Mr. Governor and Mr. Mayor have also promised that they will definitely be there the day after tomorrow."
Zhang Leye did not expect that Li Mu would invite so many political leaders to attend a small graduation ceremony. When he first found out, Zhang Leye was still nervous, afraid that the governor and mayor would refuse. Now that he received the promise from the governor and mayor, Zhang Leye finally felt relieved.
"They will definitely come." Since the invitation was issued, Li Mu was sure that the two of them would definitely be present.
Whether it is the governor or the mayor, they are all politicians. Politicians will never miss any opportunity to make a show. Perhaps they are not interested in the school management model of Junma Group, but Junma Group currently has more than 50,000 employees and families in Springfield. If they want to continue to be elected next year, then they will perform better.
There are many people and great power. This sentence is most meaningful in elections. The salary offered by the Junma Group is high, so there are many Chinese votes. In the United States, 50,000 may not be very conspicuous. But for Springfield and even Massachusetts, 50,000 people are a powerful force, and no one dares to ignore it.
"It's strange. In the past, Chinese also had votes, but we all felt that this election had nothing to do with us, so Chinese rarely participated in political activities. As a result, the whole society did not pay attention to us Chinese. Now that we start voting, we will inevitably offend some people, even if we don't vote for those people, those people will greet us with a smile." Zhang Leye sighed. Before this, Zhang Leye never thought that a small vote would have such magic.
"It's better to stay in the front line in the future. Although we have different races, we can understand the truth. These politicians are just standardized and have milk. As long as we have votes in our hands, they dare not offend us. It doesn't matter if we don't vote this time, and there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future. But if we offend us completely, they will lose our votes forever. Those politicians are very smart and they will not make this mistake." Li Mu had known this for a long time. Although Zhang Leye is doing well now, Li Mu believes that it is far from enough.
"Look back and see what we lack. Go to the mayor to ask for policies. If we send him to the mayor position, he must always express something. We don't ask him to be favoritism and abuse the law. As long as we give us certain convenience within the scope stipulated by the law, it will be done." Li Mu's requirements are not high, which is also a matter of course.
In fact, politics is also a transaction. If you have to pay, you will gain something. The American political system determines that American voters are not easy to mess with. You must do your promises before the election after you come to power. At least you must let voters see you work hard, otherwise no one will trust you again in the future.
"We've already bought Chuntian. I'll go find Bruce Motley to ask for another piece of land to expand the Junma Weapons Company--" Zhang Leye smiled a little shyly, and it seemed that he was not used to this kind of power exchange.
"The next time you can open the price higher. Junma Weapons Company is expanding, and you can get enough ground at one time. You're so embarrassed to do this." Li Mu was not angry. In the past two years, as long as Li Mu returned to Springfield, he heard Zhang Leye say that he wanted to acquire land. It would be better to just get it in one go. Anyway, Junma Weapons Company is not not giving money: "By the way, when it comes to the acquisition, how is our acquisition going?"
Li Mu finally thought of another main purpose of this trip.
The graduation ceremony of Junma Affiliated School is a big event, and the acquisition of Chunta is not a small matter. The Junma Group's negotiating team has reached an agreement with Dylan Stevenson and the contract has been signed. Now all the shares in Chunta in Dylan Stevenson's hands belong to Junma Group.
Although Junma Group is now the largest shareholder of Chuntian, Junma Group has not yet grasped the controlling stake. Therefore, if Junma Group wants to reorganize Chuntian, it still needs to obtain the consent of the Chuntian board of directors. Li Mu previously issued an order to Zhang Leye to ask Zhang Leye to try every means to acquire shares of Chuntian Company as much as possible, at least to obtain the controlling stake, so as to facilitate Junma Group's next move.
"It's not going well. I have had early contact with several other major shareholders. They have no intention of transferring shares. We are a little anxious to acquire shares from Dylan Stevenson. Now they see that our Junma Group has acquired shares in Chuntian. The Chuntian shares in their hands are regarded as treasures. Two shareholders want to take the opportunity to kill us. The price offered is really unacceptable. I am currently trying to find a way to solve it." Zhang Leye's face finally felt a little bitter.
