The logic of Westerners is: mine is mine, and yours is mine.

Under the guidance of this theoretical idea, people's greed is endless. If possible, they wish they would even have to clearly mark the price of the air.

In fact, Li Mu is also such a person in his heart, so Li Mu is not disgusted with this way of eating more and taking more. It’s just that in thirty years, Hebei and in thirty years, one day when Chinese people straighten their backs and strive for their own living space, I hope that Westerners will not talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality at that time.

Of course, it doesn’t matter. People are the slaughter and I am the meat of fish. If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This truth is an eternal truth. This truth is taught to the Chinese by foreigners.

By 1875, backwardness would also lead to be beaten. The Spanish are the best example. The former "Invincible Fleet" has gone no longer glorious. The Spanish can only relive the glory of the past in their sleep. Although the Spanish still retained some colonies overseas, it is probably not a long time.

After working as a small group, Li Mu's social circle quickly expanded. The Presidential Palace, the Senate, the House of Representatives, and all functional departments in Washington were Li Mu's lobbying targets.

Such a huge lobbying activity must not be completed by Li Mu alone. If Li Mu persuaded it one by one, it would probably be until the 20th century that it would be completed by completing the task.

In order to achieve the goal as soon as possible, Li Mu had to break down the task to Benjamin Harrison and Sherman, so Li Mu would be much more relaxed. He only needed to return to New York to convince the Manhattan tycoons that most of the task was completed.

In early June, Li Mu left Washington and returned to New York. Before leaving, Li Mu visited Ulysses Grant as usual to end his trip to Washington.

Although Li Mu expressed his attitude again when he met Ulysses Grant, Ulysses Grant still did not make any promises to Li Mu.

Although Grant also knew that both himself and the Republican Party needed a war to divert domestic attention and relieve the heavy pressure they faced, Ulysses Grant had not yet made up his mind to attack the old empire Spain.

At this point, Li Mu is no longer in a hurry. When war becomes a consensus between the government and the opposition, Ulysses Grant will no longer have a second choice.

When leaving Grant's office, Li Mu happened to meet Senate majority leader Republican James Garfield.

To start a war with the Spaniard, it is also an important task to convince James Garfield. Although this task is now under the responsibility of Benjamin Harrison, Li Mu still greeted James Garfield: "James, are you okay?"

"Of course, of course, I'm fine. Thank God, you're finally leaving..." James Garfield and Li Mu were not polite. It seemed that there was something urgent to find Ulysses Grant, so the response was very casual.

The president did not meet anyone he wanted to meet. Li Mu came to Ulysses Grant to say goodbye, but only got 20 minutes. Ulysses Grant also postponed his meeting with James Garfield, so Li Mu took up James Garfield's time, so James Garfield was not angry after seeing Li Mu.

"Haha, thank you for your generosity. I hope I can express my apology when you have time to go to New York." Li Mu was proud and not embarrassed.

The two waved away immediately, and if things ended, there would be no further development.

But when Li Mu passed by James Garfield, Li Mu heard clearly that someone beside James Garfield muttered a word that started with "S".

Li Mu immediately stopped and squinted his eyes and looked at the person beside James Garfield with a dangerous look.

He is about 50 years old, tall and slightly fat, and his red nose on his face is very conspicuous.

"Reim, you have something to do?" James Garfield noticed that Li Mu stopped, but seemed to have not heard the words just now.

"You haven't introduced it yet, who is this gentleman?" Li Mu's expression was very serious, and he didn't have much of a blessing.

When you reach Li Mu's social status, you must have a certain amount of capital to get to know Li Mu, so unless necessary, James Garfield will not introduce anyone to Li Mu casually.

"Haha, look at me, I was so busy." James Garfield slapped his forehead and then introduced to Li Mu very formally: "Please allow me to introduce to you, this is Mr. Green Charles, a member of Representative from Wisconsin..."

After introducing Green Charles, James Garfield was about to introduce Li Mu again, but Green Charles snatched the conversation: "Then this must be Mr. Reim of the Horse Group, and I'm very happy to see you."

Green Charles smiled slightly and took the initiative to extend his hand to Li Mu.

Li Mu didn't have the idea of ​​shaking hands with Green Charles, and he was too lazy to even do superficial kung fu. Looking at Green Charles' eyes, Li Mu ignored Green Charles's outstretched hand: "Green Charles, very good, I admire your courage."

After Li Mu finished speaking, he did not wait for Green Charles' response, but only smiled and nodded to James Garfield, and then left.

"Reim, Reim..." James Garfield called out Li Mu twice, but received no response, and stood there in confusion.

"A Qing Dynasty man is so arrogant." Green Charles seized the opportunity to take eye drops.

"Maybe, but you can't deny that Reim has the capital of arrogance. You can't like him, but you can't ignore him." James Garfield shook his head, preparing to turn around and call Li Mu, and then put this matter behind his mind.

After walking out of the Presidential Palace and sitting in a specially made BMW car, Li Mu still felt angry.

It has been a long time since no one dared to provoke Li Mu in person so much that Li Mu felt a little unfamiliar with his current emotions. The last time he had this feeling, it seemed that when George came to him when he was in Riverside Town.

Amys was covering the sky at that time, and Li Mu was underage at that time, so Li Mu could only watch Will be forced to walk out of his home.

Now Li Mu has grown into a towering tree, and the once arrogant Amis has been nailed to the pillar of shame forever. Li Mu did not expect that with so many lessons from the past, there are still people who dare to be so confident. After insulting Li Mu, they can still live well.

"Green Charles, check this person." Lin Limu ordered Yan Shun, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

Yan Shun didn't speak, lowered his head and wrote down the name Green Charles in his notebook.

Yan Shun is very efficient, or the secretariat of the President's Office of Junma Group is very efficient. As soon as Li Mu got off at the New York Railway Station, information about Green Charles had been handed to Li Mu.

Green Charles is a Wisconsinian native. He worked as a newspaper boy, apprentice, and attorney in his early years. He started serving as a Wisconsin Congressman six years ago and has a close relationship with Oliver Winchester who committed suicide by bankruptcy some time ago.

There is almost no need to reason, and the answer is about to come out.

Green Charles was making a fuss for Oliver Winchester, and the Horse Group acquired Winchester Company, so Green Charles blamed Li Mu for Oliver Winchester's death.

This is really wronged Li Mu. At that time, Li Mu only asked to acquire Winchester Company, and did not want to kill Oliver Winchester. Even if Oliver Winchester was willing to take a step back, Oliver Winchester could still be a rich man.

As for why the situation turned out to be like that, it was not under Li Mu's control. Li Mu could make tens of thousands of employees of Junma Group live better, but Li Mu could not stop a person's ambition to die.

Winchester is Winchester, and Green Charles is Green Charles. Although Li Mu should be responsible for Oliver Winchester's death, this does not mean that Li Mu will let Green Charles go.

As Li Mu once said, no American politician in this era is completely clean. As long as you are willing to look for it, you will definitely find some stains.

When he was a lawyer in his early years, Green Charles had a bad act of bribing judges. After taking office as a Wisconsin Representative, Green Charles colluded with others to resell mines, earning huge profits, and playing an important role in the cooperation between Turkey and Winchester, receiving large rebates from Winchester.

The results of just one night made Li Mu feel that he had gained a lot. If the investigation took a little longer, there would definitely be more gains, but it was enough. If the document in his hand was given to James Garfield or Ulysses Grant, Green Charles would probably not be able to take it any longer.

Such a person is not worth mentioning, and it is too unchallenging to deal with him. Li Mu is too lazy to take action himself, so Li Mu threw the documents back to Yan Shun: "Give this to Grover Cleveland..."

Li Mu was too lazy to say what kind of ending Green Charles would end up with Grover Cleveland. With Grover Cleveland's professional qualities, he would squeeze out all the surplus value of Green Charles and then ruin Green Charles.

The Governor Island in June is beautiful, with flowers blooming in the garden and the lawns that are green and fascinating. The nearly ten meters high bushes and trees block people's sight and turn the Governor Island into an independent kingdom. Here, Li Mu is the only king.

"Call Mr. Rockefeller. I'm going to hold a dinner to celebrate that our family's Pan is finally adult." Li Mu dealt with Pan who was shaking his tail around him, while casually giving Yan Shun instructions. As for celebrating Pan's adulthood, who cares, it's just an excuse.

Pan is indeed an adult. This six-year-old Labrador finally found a girlfriend this year, so now there are more than one dog around Li Mu, and there are six round little puppies. This is all Pan's credit.

To comfort Pan, who was loyal to him, Li Mu went upstairs to take a shower and change his clothes, then brought a cup of tea to the pavilion in the middle of the lake, preparing to enjoy the rare summer sunshine.

The weather in June is not too hot. If there is another month, the New York sunshine will make people hide in the basement all day long.

Gloria, who has already changed her career and entered the fashion industry, is rarely at home today. Seeing Li Mu sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the lake drinking tea, Gloria also walked over with a cup of coffee and seemed to accidentally put the Kunbao in her hand on the coffee table next to Li Mu.

This is a female Kun bag with bright colors and unique shapes. The red paint cannot cover up the unique texture of the crocodile leather. The golden "C&G" logo is radiant and dazzling, so it is difficult to make people not pay attention to it.

Li Mu suddenly realized that he was still immersed in his own world.

Speaking of which, although this Kun bag was designed by Gloria, it was still inspired by Li Mu. Similar designs were standard street stalls in the 21st century, so they could not attract Li Mu's attention at all.

Street stalls in the 21st century were the standard fashion pioneers in the 19th century. In Li Mu's opinion, the golden logo is simply a fashion and luxury label these days.

By the way, it’s not gold plated, but standard pure gold. From this point of view, selling such a bag of $99.99 is not considered a loss to grandma’s house.

By the way, there is also this price. Without Li Mu's participation, such a package would either be $90 or $100. Anyway, it wouldn't be a weird number such as 99.99.

Of course, as a fashion expert who emerged from nowhere, Gloria must have more than one Kunbao to show off.

Gloria wore a hairpin on her head. The decoration on the hairpin was a butterfly spreading its wings and about to fly. If you look closely, you will find that the butterfly's wings are trembling slightly. Whether it is conception or workmanship, it can be said to be extremely exquisite.

Gloria was wearing a sky blue half-sleeved dress, the height of the skirt was only above her calves. Such height could only be described as bold at this time. If you go to church on Sundays, you may be turned away.

The style of the dress changed the traditional style at this time. As little as possible, it was not lace or expanded steel wire support. When cutting, it paid more attention to the close-fitting effect, so that it could better highlight the female body curves, which made Gloria's waist more eye-catching belt using jade as a decoration.

What must be introduced are the crystal shoes on Gloria's feet. The shoes are not inlaid with artificial crystals, but high-quality Brazilian natural crystals. The whole shoe looks crystal clear and charming. Even if it is placed in a specialty store in the 21st century, it can be sold at a good price.

Wearing such a dress, Gloria was originally confident of attracting Li Mu's attention, which would greatly satisfy Gloria's self-esteem.

However, Li Mu did not give Gloria a chance, and even Li Mu didn't even say hello, let alone look at Gloria, which made Gloria's anger higher and higher.

"Oh, no one is worry-free..." Li Mu couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the leisurely ornamental fish in the water beside the pavilion.
