Will's 30 million yuan refers to Will's shares in the Junma Weapons Factory and the gold Will brought back from Montana. This number does not calculate Will's shares in the Junma Group, otherwise it would be a number that would be enough to despair Adrian.

Well, actually, this number is enough to despair Adrian, so until Li Mu left, Adrian didn't say a word.

Li Mu was not afraid of Adrian taking risks. There was no need to worry about Gloria's safety. Li Mu arranged the bodyguards around Gloria were enough to deal with these things.

The children of Governor Island continue to work. Washington has decided to place the Statue of Liberty, which France gave to the United States, in New York Bay. The Statue of Liberty was made in segments. The first one was the arm holding a torch, then the head, and finally the body. It will be about five or six years later.

Although the Statue of Liberty has not been completed yet, the resettlement site has been selected. On an island less than two kilometers away from the Governor's Island, the construction team is working on the island, mainly to strengthen the foundation so that it can carry the weight of the Statue of Liberty.

Taking advantage of this wave of construction, Li Mu is also secretly carrying private goods.

The area of ​​the Governor Island is still a little smaller after all, and the area of ​​more than 30 hectares sounds quite large, but Li Mu built a Chinese-style courtyard on the Governor Island, with small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, and pavilions. In addition, the racetrack prepared for Sandy and Gloria, more than 30 hectares of it was not enough. So Li Mu ordered people to reclaim the land and double the area of ​​the Governor Island so that Li Mu could meet Li Mu's needs.

Speaking of the total area of ​​the Governor Island in the 21st century was more than 70 hectares, more than half of which were landfills. Later, after treatment, it became green and green.

Li Mu definitely won’t use landfills to reclaim land. Not to mention whether this method will leave hidden dangers. As long as he thinks that he will live in a huge garbage dump in the future, Li Mu feels itchy all over.

In order to select a site for the Independence Centennial Exhibition, the New York City Government requisitioned a mountain in Brooklyn County. According to the scheduled plan, the mountain was to be smoothed as a whole. Li Mu happened to take away all the stones and other things to expand the Governor's Island. This was the best of both worlds.

There is money to be efficient. Ships of sand and gravel flow down the Easter River and poured on the alluvial plains of Haiti in the southern part of the Governor Island. This is just the first step. When the area is expanded to about the same extent, Junma Construction Company will enter the site. They will strengthen the seabed under the guidance of Dutch engineers. Li Mu plans to expand the area of ​​the Governor Island to about 100 hectares, which is enough to meet everyone's space requirements.

For such a large project, the cost of money will definitely be the same as the flow of money. It is expected that the entire project will cost about three million US dollars. Even if you get Manhattan for so much money, you can buy the same area of ​​land. But Li Mu is happy. Governor's Island and Manhattan are still different after all. This is an absolutely secret private space and will only belong to Li Mu. No matter how much money you spend in Manhattan, you can't get it.

In August, the main pavilion of the Independent Centennial Exhibition began. Within the next half month, sub-pavements of other countries and other states participating in the Independent Centennial Exhibition were also started. New York showed stronger decisiveness and execution than Philadelphia, which completely shut up those who are still talking.

On the last Saturday of August, at the regular party at the Beach Club, Arthur finally found an opportunity to talk to Li Mu about the operation of the Independent Centennial Exhibition.

"—Last year Vienna also held a World Expo. From May to November, only 7.25 million people visited the World Expo for seven months. Vienna invested almost $9.56 million in Kronor, but its income was only less than three million. It can be said to be a complete failure. This time, our Independent Centennial Exhibition has a total budget of $10 million. If the Philadelphia bastards were wasted, the cost would be higher. So, Reim, help me think of a way to at least make me less embarrassed." Arthur was worried and was already in a hurry to seek medical treatment.

It cannot be said that he was in a hurry to seek medical treatment. Li Mu had already proved with his own performance that he was worthy of trust, so Arthur found Li Mu for advice.

"Will you still lose money when you hold the World Expo? Are you kidding?" Li Mu didn't believe he would lose money, and he didn't know how those people in Vienna managed it.

It is understandable that Vienna is the capital of Europe's art, so it's okay to let the Vienna organize a symphony orchestra or something, but it's really hard to let them do business. Now Vienna is under the rule of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Austro-Hungarian Empire is a famous "sick man from Europe" in Europe, and it is a brilliant resonance with the "sick man from East Asia" of the Qing Empire, so it's not surprising that the Vienna people messed up.

New York is the financial center of the United States. Not to mention anything else, if the Independence Centennial Exhibition opens, there will definitely be more than 7 million people visiting the Independence Centennial Exhibition, so the ticket revenue will be much higher than that of the Vienna World Expo. If other incomes are considered, it will be difficult to lose money.

"It's not a joke. The Vienna government is still issuing bonds to repay the foreign debts owed by the World Expo." Arthur's expression did not seem to be a fake.

"Okay, let's analyze it. How many people do you expect will come to visit the Independent Centennial Exhibition by then?" Li Mu began to analyze it one by one, trying to find more profit points.

"About 10 million people, 20 cents per person, we can recover two million dollars." Arthur's estimate of this point was more detailed, which was the majority of the income of the Independent Centennial Exhibition.

"It's only two million, the gap is a bit big-" Li Mu's head is big. According to Li Mu's vision, the tickets for such a high-end 100-year exhibition are about one dollar, so that you only need to collect the tickets and you can get back all your investments.

The reality is obviously not like this. Money is no longer meaningful to Li Mu, but for ordinary Americans, when cultural consumption has not yet become the mainstream of society, ordering ticket prices at around one dollar is equivalent to rejecting the vast majority of people, so twenty cents are the normal price.

"Where are souvenirs? What are the souvenirs prepared for sale?" Li Mu visited the expo in the 21st century. Not to mention the distance, the Shanghai World Expo left a deep impression on Li Mu, so Li Mu had a certain concept of the process of the World Expo.

Don’t underestimate this "concept". This is the crystallization of wisdom of the organizers of World Expo in previous generations. They are proven to be effective and then they will continue to be adopted. Even if they only take half of it, it is enough for the New York City government to recover the cost.

"Souplet - what is that?" Sure enough, Arthur had no idea of ​​souvenirs at all.

"Well, don't you prepare souvenirs? What is this? This is an independent century-old exhibition. It only took one hundred years to see it. So many people come to visit. They must have wanted something to prove that they had participated in it. This is the big part of the income-" Li Mu was stunned. He didn't expect that there was not even a souvenir to hold the World Expo this year. Li Mu himself asked Junma Automobile Company to prepare many BMW and Phantom models.

Speaking of souvenirs, Junma Group has indeed prepared for a long time. Li Mu has been confirmed by Arthur that Junma Group will get the largest exhibition area in the main exhibition hall, the United States National Pavilion, and the New York State Pavilion. Therefore, Li Mu ordered the subsidiaries of Junma Group to prepare their own souvenirs and prepare to make a fortune at the Independent Centennial Exhibition.

Junma Group does have this strength. Li Mu even personally formulated some of the souvenir styles, such as Junma Weapons Company. The souvenirs formulated by Li Mu are various craft pistols. The best ivory-handled gold-plated craft pistols are for high-end customers, and ordinary silver-plated craft pistols are for ordinary customers. As for those most ordinary customers, they can choose those micro-pistol models that can be hung on the key chain. These pistols have a common feature - the eye-catching Junma Group logo and the words "Independent Centennial Exhibition".

There is also the Junma Automobile Factory. Junma Automobile Factory produces a Phantom Automobile model with a scale reduction for high-end customers. Although it is just a model, the door can be opened. Even when the steering wheel fluctuates, the wheels will rotate accordingly. Such a car model is priced at 1,000 US dollars, which is not much cheaper than a BMW car. Don’t think it is expensive. There are only 101 such models in total, and only 101 are produced, and there will be no additional additions in the future.

Junma Automobile Factory has also prepared BMW models for ordinary customers, as well as those ultra-small miniature car models. In short, it is complete and can meet the needs of different groups of people and maximize profits from customers.

Also prepared were Junma Electric and San Diego Shipyard. The shipyard model was a ship model, and the electrical company's model was a desk lamp using dry battery technology. These models represented Junma's fist products and were also the essence of technology in this era. Li Mu believed that these little things would make the attendees crazy.

When Li Mu explained the relevant concept of "soccer" to Arthur, Arthur immediately became excited.

Although Arthur was not a businessman, he worked as the New York Customs Chief for several years and was well-informed, so Arthur immediately understood the prospect of "soccers".

"Let me think about it, what can represent New York? We also need to bring out our own official souvenirs." Arthur was impatient.
