Under the same occupation, Junma Group offers the highest salary in the United States. An ordinary worker can only get forty or fifty dollars in other factories every month. However, at Junma Weapons Factory, there are many salary of seventy or eighty dollars. As for security personnel who are slightly dangerous at work, Junma Group offers a higher salary. Springfield's average salary is one hundred dollars, which is considered a high salary even in New York.

The salary you get what you pay for. Junma Group pays high salaries, so naturally the standards for employees are also high. Even if you are just a handyman, Junma Group has corresponding work processes to comply with. Therefore, the employees of Junma Group are either Chinese or white, and it is not that there are no black people applying for the job, but they cannot meet the requirements of Junma Group, so there is no black people in Junma Group.

This is really not racial discrimination. Chinese people are also considered vulnerable groups in the United States, and it is impossible to discriminate against other people.

But the saying goes, medicine will not kill people, and Buddha will save people with fate. If they are a vulnerable group, they are idle all day long and do not want to repent, and are unwilling to fight to change the current situation of their lives, then they deserve to starve to death, and Li Mu will never sympathize with them.

Black people are the representative group of this. When they were young, they did not receive enough education due to environment, individuals, families or other factors, and then they naturally had no jobs when they grew up. Moreover, most black people have problems with their work attitudes. Their personality is too loose and not suitable for discipline. The most suitable job for black people is to find a small island to throw them up and let them live and wait for death.

Ah, it seems wrong to say this, because blacks these days have no chance to receive education at all. Well, we can understand it this way. After the Civil War, most blacks were finally liberated from slavery. This was originally a good thing and should be celebrated together. However, the first thing that blacks were liberated was not to work hard to change their life state, but to hope that the US government could continue to carry forward the "democratic" style. Since they were liberated from slavery, they would simply solve the problem of eating together. Therefore, the blacks in the Knights of Labor were the most active.

The basic requirement of the Knights of Labor was equal pay, which means that if the capitalist hired workers, then if it was the same type of work, he should give everyone the same salary and not favor one or the other.

It sounds like nothing wrong, doesn't it?

In fact, the problem is big. Many old workers have been working all their lives. They are a world of difference compared with those newly joined factories. Why do those newly joined factories require equal pay for the same work as old workers?

It's simply nonsense, only those who always think about getting something for nothing will think so.

This principle is applicable everywhere. Li Mu knew many such people in his previous life. He lived at the bottom of society, but he didn't want to work hard to get to the next level, nor did he want to go to a training class or something to enrich himself. He complained about the world all day long, as if the whole world was sorry for him. Such people could not even make friends with them. No one was willing to make friends with such people, because everything he felt was negative and there was no positive thing.

Bad luck can also be contagious, so everyone is willing to make friends with the rich. No matter how capable the rich are, whether they commit crimes or whether they have noble people to help, at least they are lucky and can only make a fortune.

Really, even a very capable person needs to be lucky to succeed. Nikola Tesla is a recognized master, but he is penniless when he dies. This is the best example of the lack of talent.

Speaking of Nikola Tesla, Li Mu has sent someone to find this god man. Unfortunately, this god man is only sixteen years old this year and is currently in school in Karlovac, Croatia. Without Li Mu's intervention, Nikola Tesla will go to Graz Polytechnic University in Austria to study physics, mathematics and mechanics next year.

Nikola Tesla's college career lasted only one year. By 1876, the Austrian Military Border Administration was cancelled and Nikola Tesla lost his scholarship and was forced to drop out of school because he could not afford the tuition.

Nikola Tesla is still not famous now, so Li Mu is not worried that this master will be abducted, so he will not take action now. He will not wait until Nikola Tesla is desperate and Li Mu will only play Nikola Tesla. At that time, Li Mu will win the loyalty of Nikola Tesla to the greatest extent.

In mid-August, after nearly half a year of contact, Junma Group and German Krupp Company finally reached a cooperation intention.

In mid-September, German Krupp President Alfred Krupp personally led a team to New York, and officially began cooperation negotiations with Henry, the representative of the Junma Group, to discuss cooperation between Junma Group and Krupp.

Although Li Mu did not participate in the negotiations, Li Mu attended a dinner welcoming Alfred Krupp.

Alfred Krupp was born in 1812 and is over 60 years old this year, but the years left this old man with gray hair and a wise mind. This is a respectable person.

In 1811, just one year before Alfred Krupp was born, Alfred's father Fredrich Krupp founded the Krupp factory. In 1826, Fredrich died, leaving the secret of manufacturing high-quality cast steel and a small factory that almost stopped production to Alfred. That year, Alfred was only 14 years old.

Well, from then on, Alfred began a doctor full of legends, and his experience was almost as legendary as Li Mu.

When Alfred took over the Krupp factory, many people asserted that Krupp would go bankrupt in no time, but Alfred refused to admit defeat. Soon after taking over Krupp, Alfred spent all his money to expand production and manufacture steel rollers. In order to make Krupp stronger competitiveness, Alfred designed and developed some machinery and invented the spoon press to make spoons and forks. He also cooperated with the government at that time to produce machinery used in the mint.

At the first World Industrial Expo in 1851, the London Expo, Alfred displayed the largest steel ingot at that time, weighing 4,300 pounds, which was the pinnacle of steelmaking technology at that time.

The emergence of railways really gave Krupp a new life. Initially, Krupp only produced cast steel train wheel axles and springs, but in 1852, Alfred created the first seamless steel train wheel hub, which was sold to Europe and the United States with the rails, making a lot of profits for Krupp.

The three-ring logo of Krupp comes from three overlapping wheel hoops.

Alfred was not satisfied at this time. In 1862 and 1869, Alfred first introduced the Bessema Steelmaking Method and the Broadfire Steelmaking Method to Europe. Krupp began to enter the military industry. At first, Krupp's products were ignored in Prussia, but luck once again stood on Alfred's side. After the beginning of the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, Krupp's guns shone brightly in the war. From then on, Krupp had the reputation of "imperial arsenal".

In addition to his commercial achievements, Alfred paid great attention to humanization in corporate management. Alfred recognized the problems of various people in industrialization very early on and established a complete welfare plan for his workers. As early as 1836, Alfred set up a disease and funeral fund; in 1855, Alfred built dormitories, hospitals, schools and churches for Krupp's employees. These welfare measures won the loyalty of workers, and Krupp's workers were all loyal.

Li Mu respected such a person, so when he met Alfred Krupp, Li Mu rarely kept a low posture.

Alfred's attitude was not high, and he would not come to New York in person if he said high. At the welcome dinner, Frederick III and Li Mu had a great chat.

In fact, the change in Germany's attitude towards Chinese began with German Emperor William II. After the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, William II was worried that the Qing Empire would rise under the leadership of the Westernized Japan and threaten the security of the world, so William II proposed the infamous "Yellow Peril Theory".

It is said that the Qing Empire under the leadership of Japan would seem to hurt the self-esteem of some Chinese people, but this was the case at that time. During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Japan declared war on the Qing Empire under the banner of "upholding justice and expelling the Qing Dynasty". Therefore, although the Qing Empire was defeated, the Chinese in the Qing Empire did not hate the Japanese very much. Many people even put their hope of "expelling the Qing Dynasty" on the Japanese.

It sounds a bit ironic, well, you can blame this situation for the Japanese being too treacherous, but the problem is that the Japanese were indeed successful at that time. Looking at modern Chinese history, before the founding of the Republic, the most Chinese went to Japan to study.

William II is now just a fifteen-year-old child. The one who ruled Germany was William II's grandfather William I. After William I's death in 1888, William II's father was crowned Emperor Frederick III. However, 99 days later, Frederick III died of throat cancer. In June of the same year, 29-year-old William II succeeded to the throne and became emperor.

Since Frederick III died of misdiagnosis by a quack doctor, William once said angrily: "The British doctor killed my father!"

It can be seen that William II hated his British cousin for a reason.

After the dinner, Li Mu placed Alfred Krupp and his group in Clinton Castle, and returned to Governor's Island and summoned relevant personnel to emphasize negotiation discipline.

The cooperation with the Germans has been in contact since half a year ago, so Li Mu doesn't have to worry about the bottom line of negotiations and the negotiation team. Henry is responsible for this. Li Mu has to take care of the general direction. As long as the general direction remains unchanged, the negotiations will not go wrong.
