The word "fury" is not wrong at all. At the end of August, negotiations between Junma Group and Krupp were still in progress. Li Mu suddenly received a subpoena from the New York District Court. Edison finally found a backer and sued Li Mu and Junma Group.

Edison's backer is Oliver Winchester, the owner of the Winchester Company in New Haven, a Massachusetts Senator. The reason why Oliver Winchester supports Edison in suing Li Mu and Junma Group is also due to Junma Group's equity acquisition of Chuntian.

For others, Junma Group's acquisition of Springfield will not attract widespread attention, but for Winchester and Colt, this is a life-and-death matter. Once Junma Weapon Factory joins Springfield, Junma Weapon Factory will become the largest arms company in the United States, which is definitely extremely unfavorable for Colt and Winchester.

Several arsenals in the United States are all arsenals that produce light weapons. Colt is known for pistols, Winchester is known for long spears, and Chuntian is closely related to the military.

The rise of Junma Weapons Company replaced Chuntian, which had a relationship with the military, and became the main supplier of the military, which eventually led to Chuntian's change of hands.

Colt and Winchester's business was of course also impacted by Junma Weapons, because of different focus and can still be maintained.

However, Junma Weapons' merger with Chuntian still sounded the alarm for Colt and Winchester, especially when Oliver Winchester discovered that Junma Weapons had controlled part of Winchester's shares, Oliver Winchester immediately regarded Li Mu as the enemy of life and death.

There is no mistake in describing this, because Li Mu never thought of letting Colt and Winchester go and after merging Springfield, Li Mu had been secretly acquiring shares of Colt and Winchester. By the time Oliver Winchester discovered it, Li Mu had already had 30% of Winchester's shares and became Winchester's second largest shareholder.

In fact, the shares of American companies in the past are relatively dispersed these days. For example, Rockefeller. Although Standard Oil was founded by Rockefeller, Rockefeller only holds half of the Standard Oil shares, and the remaining ones are controlled by hundreds of other shareholders. Rockefeller only became the chairman of Standard Oil because he controlled the most shares.

The same is true for Winchester. Even Oliver Winchester is not as good as Rockefeller. Rockefeller still has more than half of Standard Oil shares. Oliver Winchester only has 40% of Winchester's shares. It's just that because Oliver Winchester has the most shares, Oliver Winchester is the owner of Winchester.

Oliver Winchester only has 40% of Winchester shares, and the remaining shares are in the hands of others. Although there are Winchester relatives, most of the shares of those relatives have become Li Mu's possession. So if Oliver Winchester does not move, Winchester will soon follow in the footsteps of Springfield.

Oliver Winchester was definitely unwilling to wait for death, so he tried every means to cause trouble for Li Mu. At this time, Edison came to him, so Oliver Winchester immediately hit it off with Edison.

Although Li Mu is very strong, Oliver Winchester is not a soft persimmon, and no member of Congress is easy to mess with. In the past, Edison wanted to raise Li Mu and Junma Group, but the New York District Court did not even accept the case. Now with Oliver Winchester's support, the New York District Court could not hold on, so Li Mu once again became the defendant.

When was the last time I became a defendant?

It was a long time ago. It seemed that before going to Cuba, Li Mu was sued by Amos Ackerman. At that time, Li Mu taught Amos Ackerman a good lesson, allowing Amos Ackerman, the former US Attorney General, to understand the true face of the US judicial system.

Li Mu was familiar with the way to sit in the dock again.

The New York District Court is also called Tweed Court. This is ironclad evidence of Tweed's corruption. The entire court is said to cost tens of millions of dollars. In fact, only Tweed himself knows how much it is. From Li Mu's perspective, if Junma Construction Company is asked to undertake the construction, if the cost exceeds one million US dollars, the construction site manager should voluntarily resign.

The justice of the New York District Court is Randy Middleton. This is the justice who just took office after Arthur became the mayor of New York. The former justice has entered the class room like Tweed. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court is not as powerful as Tweed. Tweed has escaped from prison and escaped. It is said that he is not as good as death in prison.

It is definitely worse than death. Just a judge. He sent all the criminals in the prison in his own hands. If he was outside, the Supreme Justice would certainly be high and go into the prison. He was just an old man with an old body. How could he be the opponent of those big men like wolves and tigers? I don’t know if the daisies were in full bloom for such a long time.

Randy Midelton is less than forty years old this year. In the judges industry, he can be regarded as young and promising. Unlike most other Americans Li Mu met, Randy Midelton does not have a beard and wears a rare monocle. When using it, he has to hold it with one hand, and when not using it, he is buckled on one side, which is impressive.

"Edison accused Junma Laboratory and the New York Patent Office, in which he jointly embezzled his patents. Strictly speaking, the New York District Court is also the defendant. According to relevant laws, the New York District Court should avoid it, so the case should not be tried in New York. However, the Washington Supreme Court concluded that it believed that the New York District Court would enforce the law impartially, so the right to hear this case is still in the New York District Court." Randy Middleton introduced the relevant situation to Li Mu. Needless to ask, this was Grant who opened the back door for Li Mu.

The current US Justice is Morrison Waite. This guy is not a good person. He is a racist and is naturally biased towards Li Mu and the Junma Group. But the good thing is that Morrison Waite was appointed by Grant, so so far, Morrison Waite has given face.

It is not a good idea to keep such a person in the position of justice. Li Mu has decided that once Grant steps, Li Mu will definitely remove Morrison Waite without hesitation. As for Morrison Waite's successor, Randy Middleton is good.

"Edison's evidence includes the time of filing his patent, the relevant information at the time of filing, and the proof given to Edison by the New York Patent Office at that time. Edison hopes to use these to prove that his patent filing time was earlier than the time of filing the patent filing of Junma Laboratory. As for the documents given to Junma Laboratory by the New York Patent Office, Edison believes that it was forged by Junma Laboratory through the New York Patent Office, so Edison sued Junma Laboratory and the New York Patent Office in court." Randy Middleton explained to Li Mu.

Strictly speaking, Edison is right. Junma Lab did indeed pass the New York Patent Office, which kicked Edison out. However, this was done seamlessly, and even if Edison knew it, he could do nothing.

"He said it was forged or forged? He also said that Junma Lab used despicable means to cheat his Edison Laboratory. In fact, the staff of Edison Laboratory were willing to work in Junma Lab because Edison had too strict requirements on them. The salary they received in Edison Laboratory was not as good as that in Junma Lab. What's more, Edison cruelly plundered all their research results. How could this make those scientists willing to work for him? This guy was a vampire." Li Mu was not angry when he mentioned Edison. If it weren't for Junma Lab's carelessness, it wouldn't be Edison Laboratory's turn to take advantage of it.

Now Edison Laboratory no longer exists. Junma Group has poached all the staff of Edison Laboratory. They are now working in the electrical laboratory of Junma Laboratory. This is equivalent to Junma Laboratory robbing Edison's job, and even Edison's job has been ruined. No wonder Edison is really unwilling to let go. If anyone dares to plot against Li Mu like this, Li Mu will fight with others.

"Although this is a fact, it is up to the jury to decide which is right or wrong," Randy Middleton smiled strangely.

That being said, but Randy Middleton's tendency is obvious. Although the lawsuit has not been sentenced yet, Edison has lost half of it.

After knowing the specific situation, Li Mu had confidence in his heart. Just let the legal department of Junma Group deal with this kind of thing, and Li Mu would not even show his face.

Back on the Governor's Island, Alfred Krupp was drinking tea in Li Mu's garden.

Li Mu's garden is built according to the layout of Suzhou gardens. Suzhou gardens are best at stacking mountains and water, planting flowers and trees, configuring garden buildings in a limited space, and using a large number of plaques, couplets, calligraphy and paintings, carvings, steles, furniture and various ornaments to reflect philosophy, cultural consciousness and aesthetic tastes. Li Mu is in a unique way here. The Governor Island itself is an island, and it is very easy to bring living water over. With water, the garden will have life.

The key is that Li Mu is willing to spend money. Other people may have only a few kinds of calligraphy, painting, stele and stone in their garden. Li Mu has everything here. He is embarrassed to take out the fine products to meet people. He will pick them up casually and they are all national treasure-level fine products.

Seeing Li Mu come back, Alfred Krupp sucked his hands and laughed: "It turns out that the power of you, the chairman, is not very good. If someone dares to accuse me in Germany, I guarantee he won't see the sun tomorrow."
