Although Li Mu does not regard himself as a noble person, this does not prevent Li Mu from admiring those noble people, such as Father Damien and Washington Robrin.

If Junma Construction Company takes over the Brooklyn Bridge, it will indeed bring more benefits to Li Mu. Maybe Li Mu and Junma Construction Company will be engraved in the history of New York City.

In contrast, the persistence of the two generations of Washington Roblenin and his son will become meaningless. No one will know that John Roblenin died on the eve of construction, nor will anyone know that Washington Roblenin is paralyzed and still insists on working. The father and son will even become the villain who hinders the completion of the Brooklyn Bridge as soon as possible.

Li Mu didn't want to see this happen, because it was too hot to make such money.

To be honest, Li Mu rarely has a sense of right and wrong in his heart when doing things. For example, when facing the little fat man, although he was from the Qing Empire, he was somewhat incest, but Li Mu didn't refuse to cheat the little fat man, and even forced his life out, Li Mu didn't care much.

For example, when facing Thomas Edison, although Li Mu knew that Thomas Edison once had a position in the technology industry and was hailed as one of the greatest inventors of all time, when the interests of Li Mu and Thomas Edison conflicted, Li Mu would also attack Thomas Edison without hesitation without any sympathy.

In short, Li Mu, who has experienced the training of the market economy and society in the 21st century, has a clear distinction between love and hate in terms of emotions. Li Mu can treat his own people meticulously, and Li Mu can also do everything he can to treat his enemies.

Although Washington Roblen is not Li Mu's person, and Li Mu has never even met Washington Roblen before, Li Mu still maintains the most basic respect for such a person or such a family.

That's right, it's just respect. Few people can make Li Mu have this emotion. It has nothing to do with social status, it has nothing to do with wealth, but only with personality. Even when facing Ulysses Grant or Carnegie, Li Mu does not have abnormal emotions in his heart, but when facing people like Washington Roblen, Li Mu really cannot remain detached.

Even a time traveler can't do it.

"I won't get involved. For me, as long as the Brooklyn Bridge is built on time, I don't care who built it." Arthur was not stupid either. It was obvious that someone was pushing him behind the scenes. If Li Mu wanted to take over, Arthur would definitely mediate. If Li Mu didn't want to take over, then Arthur wouldn't be able to make a scolding for this.

The story of Washington Roblen and his son is indeed touching. Everyone who hears about this will be moved by the persistence of the two generations of Washington Roblen and his son. In fact, this is true. The decision to replace the chief engineer is not popular. If Arthur is involved, it will definitely be disgusted by some voters, which Arthur absolutely does not want to see.

Of course, after being with Li Mu for a long time, Arthur also knew that public opinion could be manipulated. If Li Mu took action, Arthur believed that even if he changed the candidate, Li Mu would have the ability to control the situation. It would be hard to say who would be scolded by that time.

From this point of view, Arthur is now a qualified politician.

To put it bluntly, as long as you are shameless enough, you have the potential to be a politician.

After seeing Arthur off, he looked at New York without Japanese, singing and dancing, singing and dancing, and singing and singing, and feeling like he was confused.

Many times, Li Mu also wanted to organize an expeditionary force to rush to kill the people above the four islands.

But this can only be thought about it. With the strength of Li Mu and Junma Group, it is not difficult to organize a mercenary of 100 people, but it is almost impossible to organize an expeditionary force of tens of thousands of people. If Li Mu really does that, I am afraid that the first thing he has to face is the suspicion of the US government.

As an arms dealer and an almost monopoly arms dealer in the United States, Li Mu is already eye-catching enough. If Li Mu extends his hand to the army, then Ulysses Grant will definitely not be able to sleep.

It is not the only one. Some time ago, Li Mu was busy dealing with Colt, Winchester and others, and almost forgot that there was a large-scale arms company in Springfield City.

Right, it is the fat man’s Zaihan factory.

The reason why Zaihan factory did not attract Li Mu's attention was because the factory's positioning was different. Li Mu's Junma Weapons Company, Colt and Winchester were direct competitors, and their main markets were the US market.

The US arms market in the 19th century was different from the US arms market in the 21st century. The market size alone forced several arms companies to the point of fighting with each other. Therefore, Li Mu must dominate the US arms market as much as possible, so that it will be conducive to the next development and growth of Junma Weapons Company.

Zaihan factory is different. The market of Zaihan factory is not in the United States, but in the Far East. Since the little fat Zaihan factory started construction, Zaihan factory has hardly put any weapon into the American market. All their weapons were sold to the Qing Empire, and it is said that the orders were placed until 1875.

This is the best portrayal of the beauty of relying on a big tree to enjoy the shade. Only when Li Mu fought to the death could he get a steady stream of arms orders from the War Department. The little fat man didn't have to send the orders to his doorstep. The profit was higher than that of Li Mu selling weapons to the War Department.

Speaking of Zaihan Factory, we must mention an unlucky guy, that is Li Mu's original amulet Mike.

How to say it, Mike has all the advantages of Americans, bravery, independence, and adventurous.

But this guy was not very lucky and couldn't make a living in the United States. He eventually had to find food in the Far East. He finally got the drawings from Li Mu to start a business, but he encountered the peerless pit of the little fat man.

If you want to talk about the little fat man himself, this lazy second generation ancestor is indeed unable to resist the talented people around the little fat man. It can be said that the talents of the entire Qing Empire can be called at will, so Mike's fate was already destined.

As an American, Mike naturally wanted to focus his business on the US market and compete with Colt, Winchester, and even the Horse Weapon Factory. The little fat man never put his mind on the United States. In this way, Mike's opinions had a fundamental conflict with the little fat man.

The fat guy pulled Mike to form a Zaihan factory. In addition to the drawings in Mike's hand, he also borrowed Mike's identity. You should know that it is not easy to open a factory in the United States, especially a weapon factory. Not everyone is standing behind him.

After the Zaihan factory opened, the operation of the first year was quite smooth. Although the workers were not very skilled and the product quality was not very good, relying on the little fat man, they could finally sell for a good price. So although Mike complained, Mike was still able to endure the green dollar for the sake of the green dollar.

However, the good times did not last long. Starting from the second year, although sales were still booming and the supply of products was in short supply, the profits of the factory were declining steadily.

Although Mike didn't know what was wrong, he could sensitively feel that the situation was out of control. When Mike noticed that he was undercut and wanted to regain control of the factory, Mike was surprised to find that the patent rights of the double-action pistol belonged to Zaihan Factory. After several rounds of financing, his shares in the factory had dropped to 30%.

And because the factory has been losing money, these shares cannot bring Mike even a dollar now.

"It must be a matter of accounts. Those shameless guys are making fake accounts, so the factory will lose money!" In Clinton Castle, Mike gritted his teeth and cursed throughout the third floor.

Although there is still a bit of friendship, Mike is not Li Mu's person now, so Li Mu cannot entertain Mike on Governor's Island. Clinton Castle is a good choice.

"Since you know there is something wrong with the account, why not send someone to check it? Don't say that you don't have a confidant in Zaihan factory?" Li Mu looked at Mike, his eyes neither happy nor sad.

To be honest, Li Mu had known that Mike would have this fate long ago. You said that if you were a veterinarian, if you were intrigue, you could have played with the old officialdom around the fat man?

Stop being funny. If someone just sends a clerk, he can play Mike without any bones. Now Mike can still come to Li Mu lively, and he is already the fat man who shows mercy.

"Of course I have..." Mike sniffed for a long time, but didn't say anything, and sat on the sofa with a dejected look on his face.

"So, what are your plans now?" Li Mu stopped asking. I guess the answer was not very open and honest. Although there was no definite answer, Li Mu could imagine it.

"I don't know, I still have some money now, so I think I'll go to the Far East in a while." Compared with Li Mu, who is already standing at the top of the pyramid, Mike is indeed doing a bit miserable, but it's no wonder that others. If Mike had been a little more patient, he wouldn't have ended up like this now.

Li Mu and Mike met, and they originated from a ship from the Far East to the United States, so the Far East was considered a turning point in Mike's life.

When returning to the Far East again, Mike is not without the intention of returning to it?

"What are you going to do? Go on a translator? Or be a veterinarian? I guess you have forgotten the little things you know." Li Mu was not optimistic about Mike's future.

It is easy to go to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

Zaihan Factory has had a good business in the past two years, and Mike, as one of the shareholders, was once a wealthy person.

Once this person becomes wider, he will not only become face, but also his lifestyle. He is used to being sensual, colorful, and then he will probably not get used to it.

"Of course I still remember, don't look at my business failure, and when I arrive in the Far East, I will never be a translator or a veterinarian." Mike was quite ambitious, and after all, he was a lean camel bigger than a horse.

This is because of his good life, covering himself with a layer of white skin, he ran to the Qing Empire and became a "foreign uncle". He could even cheat him if he didn't make any good fortune. If he changed his place, Mike would probably lose confidence.

"If you don't have any goals for the time being, why not help Junma Weapons Company develop the Far East market." Mike's words reminded Li Mu.

The Far East market has more than one-third of the world's population. It's so cheap that it's all thrown to Zaihan Factory.

Just for the Qing Empire, there are countless business opportunities. The Qing government cooperated with the little fat man, and this business is probably impossible to get rid of. But in addition, the Qing Empire also has a large number of local governors, and they also need a large number of weapons.

Maybe the urgent mood is even more urgent than the Qing government.

Since the outbreak of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, the Qing government found that the Eight Banners were no longer available, so the Qing government had to reuse the power of the Han people.

Power is a Pandora treasure box. As long as you open it and release the devil inside, it will be difficult to take it back.

So the current situation is a bit subtle. Although the Qing government is still nominally the ruler of the huge country of the Qing Empire, the deterrence of imperial power has become weaker and weaker in the local area, and the governors are also more and more thoughts. This situation continued until the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China 20 years later, which eventually led to the rare and rare story of "Southeast Mutual Protection" that has occurred in the ages.

It is indeed very strange. The central government is fighting against the enemy and the country is suffering from enemy invasion. However, the provinces with the strongest economic strength openly claim to remain neutral and have nothing to do with the ongoing war. Even if this behavior is not explicitly under the banner of "rebellion", it is almost the same.

Li Mu is sure that the fat man will never sell weapons produced in the United States to the local governor, and the local governor does have this need, so Li Mu needs one person to fill the gap in this area.

Mike, who once had life experience in the Qing Empire, was undoubtedly the best candidate.

"To explore the Far East market, that means, you hire me?" Mike was not surprised, and the complex expression in his eyes was hard to understand.

Mike's mood is indeed mixed now. Mike once had the opportunity to become partners with Li Mu, so Mike's significance to Li Mu will not be less than Will.

Thinking about Will now, and looking at his own downfall, Mike wanted to laugh three times, then cry three times, and finally get drunk.

Destiny is indeed a very magical thing.

"Heng? How is it possible? We are friends, aren't we? So our relationship is not about hiring, but about cooperation." Li Mu said it as nicely as possible, leaving Mike with enough face: "I'll give you a list of weapons. You take this list to Far East, whatever you sell, even if you can sell a rifle for one hundred dollars, that's also a reflection of your ability. I only charge one ex-factory price here, and the profit in the middle is yours."

Li Mu wanted to develop Mike into the agent of Junma Weapons in the Far East, so that Junma Weapons can minimize its influence in the Far East.

Not only can I not paint, but as a Chinese company, even if it has a strong American background, it will definitely be highly suspicious in the Qing Empire.

The same situation is also true for Japan. Junma Group and Japan are no longer able to have any relationship, but this does not mean that Li Mu does not want to do business with the Japanese.
