It’s not that Li Mu underestimates the heroes of the world, but that the Democratic Party itself is not successful, and there is no reason to make Li Mu look down on it.

If we say that the Democratic Party and the Republican Party are actually half a dozen, they are not much better. In the 19th century, the entire country's history was only like this one hundred years. American democracy was also at the stage of crossing the river by feeling the stones. Only those like Li Mu who knew about it 500 years ago and then 50 years will be familiar with the future direction of American democracy.

Before the Civil War, American democracy might have a bit of a democratic meaning. When something happened, everyone sat down and discussed it carefully and found a suitable solution together.

The Civil War completely tore open the hypocrisy of American democracy. Since the negotiations cannot be reached, it will be reasonable if the fist is too big. Let's fight one more time before talking about it.

After the Civil War, the US economy developed rapidly, group-style large enterprises gradually emerged, American politics gradually became a toy for money, and the president gradually became a mascot in front of the stage. What really determined American politics were those Wall Street tycoons.

Li Mu's confidence comes from Bi. He is now a tycoon on Wall Street, and he is one of the biggest ones.

After returning to New York, Li Mu planned to cultivate his character and no longer worry about the troubles of Washington. He loves anyone. Anyway, the Republican Party will not lose in recent years. No matter who comes to power, he will be a Republican after all, and he will always be a bit incest.

Taking a step back, even if the new president dislikes Li Mu and Junma Group, it is not easy to deal with Li Mu and Junma Group now, and you have to be careful. If you have a little mistake, you will be strongly backfired by Li Mu and Junma Group.

In fact, it is also good to cultivate one's own character. The Governor's Island is isolated from the world, like a paradise. Li Mu closed the door here and became a local emperor, and no one could control it.

I got up in the morning and rode my horse and walked my dog. I went to the headquarters of Junma Group for a while in the morning, or picked up some subordinate companies and got through it all the way.

In the afternoon, he was responsible for being a designer for urban beauty and newly opened men's clothing. This time, Li Mu racked his brains and prepared to draw all the popular styles in his memory. In this way, he could at least ensure that urban beauty and men's clothing would not have to worry about backward styles within 50 years.

In the evening, nightlife has just begun, and the sky is the most colorful, barbecue, dinner, camping, night fishing...

As long as Li Mu is willing, there will always be endless fun...

While Li Mu was exiling himself, the 23rd US presidential election finally kicked off.

Like the information Li Mu received in advance, the current President Ulysses Grant failed to receive a nomination to represent the Republican Party in the election.

Of course, Ulysses Grant himself hoped to be re-elected for a second time, but he didn't even get a chance to get a nomination, which really hit Ulysses Grant a big blow. It can be said that his political career has ended here.

Although Li Mu was not surprised by this result, not everyone was prepared. For example, Arthur, he did not expect that Ulysses Grant's approval rating would be so low.

When the news that Ulysses Rant failed to get the nomination reached New York, Arthur rushed to Governor Island to discuss countermeasures with Li Mu.

Since the defeat of Tweed, Li Mu's fate has been closely linked to Arthur. These two people are truly grasshoppers on the same line, and no one can do without the other.

"What should I do? Mr. President cannot be re-elected. We are about to face a new president. I don't know who he is, his tendencies, his political propositions, and his economic strategies. They are all messy..." Arthur spoke out loudly, hoping to dig out the old revolutionary predecessors who designed the American political system from their graves and whip the corpse.

A gentleman and a minister of one day, the impact of the new president on Arthur far exceeds the impact it has on Li Mu, so Li Mu can't care who the new president is, and Arthur cannot ignore it.

"Don't worry, you are the highest chief executive in New York, and I am the richest person in New York. No matter who is president, you can't change this." Li Mu first gave Arthur a reassurance. Washington was too far away, and Li Mu could not affect it now and could not play a decisive role. However, in this acre of three-point land in New York, it was a dragon that was lying on the tiger.

This is the confidence of the local snake.

Li Mu is right. Although Arthur is a politician now and needs to accept the leadership of Washington, even if the new president dislikes Arthur, the new president cannot use executive orders to drive Arthur out of office. Arthur is the New York City voter who came to power with one vote, and the president's prestige in New York will not be greater than Arthur.

"That's the case, but we must always be prepared. It's better to have less trouble. I don't want a bastard to come on stage and make a bunch of messy things." Arthur had no awe of the new president that was about to emerge. He just had an unknown fear of the future.

Except for people like Li Mu, everyone will have unknown fears about the future, but the degree is different.

In fact, Li Mu is sometimes confused. Compared with the history that Li Mu is familiar with, the current historical trend has already had a small deviation. If this deviation continues to increase, then in the past ten years, Li Mu dare not say that the things he is familiar with will definitely happen.

In other words, Li Mu was not sure whether the things he was familiar with would happen at the inherent time nodes, which might be ahead of time or delayed.

"This presidential election taught me a truth..." Li Mu raised his chest and raised his head and closed his abdomen and took a deep breath on the chair. Thinking about the helplessness he had in Washington some time ago, Li Mu decided to do something.

"What's the reason?" Arthur's upper body was lying on the table, leaning forward, staring at Li Mu urgently, hoping to get some sure news from Li Mu.

After getting to know Li Mu, almost everything Li Mu brought to Arthur was good news.

Arthur still remembers when he first met Li Mu, who was the chief of New York Customs at that time. The two gradually became closer because they wanted to support Cubans to fight against the Spaniards. Suddenly one day, Li Mu said he wanted to deal with Tved, who was in New York at the time. That decision really scared Arthur.

To be honest, Arthur did not think that Li Mu had the ability to overthrow Tved at that time. Arthur even had some idea of ​​watching the fire from the other side of the river, waiting to see Li Mu be in trouble.

Unexpectedly, Li Mu successfully defeated Tved and sent Arthur to the throne of mayor of New York, truly opening Arthur's political career.

Later, Li Mu and Arthur cooperated to cheat Tweed again. This time Arthur really had the confidence and no longer had to worry about money, and completely tied himself to Li Mu's chariot.

For a long time, Li Mu gave Arthur almost everything. Whether it was business competition or political infighting, Li Mu always acted easily, and the unlucky one was always Li Mu's enemy. This kind of thing happened again and again, so that Arthur sometimes even doubted whether God lived in Li Mu's heart.

"We cannot put everything on others. Instead of waiting passively, it is better to take the initiative. If we want to not regret something afterwards, then we must hold it firmly in our hands. For example, the presidential election. Instead of worrying about whether the new president will cause us trouble, why not keep this matter firmly in our hands from the beginning?" Li Mu had a strong desire to control it. No matter what it was, Li Mu would not allow him to escape from control.

"You mean..." Arthur seemed to understand what Li Mu was saying, but he was not sure. Although his expression was mixed with fear, the Adam's apple that was struggling with difficulty fully expressed Arthur's desire.

"Yes, it's what you think. I hope that in the next presidential election, I can personally send the candidates I like to the stage, instead of passively watching others take out a few candidates first and then choose one of these people as my support object. I don't like this helpless feeling, and I don't like it at all." Li Mu gritted his teeth when he spoke. To be honest, Arthur had never seen Li Mu lose his composure.

"Of course, I don't like it either..." Arthur's eyes were blurred, as if his whole body was being taken away from time to time, his eyes staring at the ceiling, not knowing what was thinking in his mind.

"How about it? What do you think? By the next presidential election, you have been the mayor of New York for almost seven years. Don't you have any further ideas?" Li Mu was like the poisonous snake on a tree, desperately seducing Arthur, the silly Adam.

"Of course, I hope I can do something then..." Arthur obviously took the bait. Although his voice was a little trembling, he was finally firm.

"Then we have to work hard in the past few years. You have to find ways to achieve enough political achievements, find more political allies, and gain higher political reputation. What I want to do is to consolidate everything that Junma Group currently has, control public opinion more effectively, and find ways to influence more votes. As long as we work together, I believe that in four years, all our efforts will not be in vain." Li Mu was ambitious and had a new outlook for four years.

This time, Li Mushi was caught off guard. Li Mu never expected that Ulysses Grant had no chance to be nominated, which made Li Mu's preparations impossible to display.

It will be different in four years. By then, Li Mu will have stronger strength and more complete preparations. Li Mu is looking forward to the return of the king.

"Yes, I need political achievements, more political achievements, such as... For example, next year's World Expo, I don't know who will be cheap at that time." Arthur's voice was a little depressed, and he felt like he was working in vain to make wedding clothes for others.

"Forget it, we can hold other events, which can also increase New York and your influence, such as the National Auto Rally, which is a good event, as well as the ice hockey and football that are being prepared, which is even a good event that is famous. If you and New York City can appear on the front pages of newspapers all year round, then you can't help but not only do you want to pay attention to it." Li Mu also spent a lot of money this time, not only to preserve the title of New York's financial center, but also to build New York into an American cultural center.

To build a cultural center, there really is no need for much historical heritage. You Dao means that culture and sports are not separated. Sports are also a kind of culture. Li Mu doesn’t want to promote general education in the United States, so start with sports. Anyway, sports activities in New York can also increase the cultural heritage of New York.

"Yes, if one game doesn't work, we will have ten games. Isn't it just spending money? Who will New York be afraid of when it comes to being rich?" Arthur was very domineering, as if he saw the presidential throne waving to him. If anyone dared to cause trouble at this time, if Li Mu didn't need to take action, Arthur would tear it to pieces with his own hands.

"In addition to organizing sports competitions, we also need to build more libraries, museums, concert halls, opera houses, stadiums, squares, parks, etc. If possible, we should build New York into a garden-style city, so that people don't want to leave when they come, so that they can play a full role in the role of example." When designing the prospects for New York, Li Mu did not forget to bring private goods. It is always necessary to build so many new venues. When it comes to architecture, who can compare to Junma Construction Company?

"Build! When I go back, I find someone to design a new city for me. I want to build an unparalleled city." Arthur didn't feel sorry for him at all. He didn't spend his money anyway. No matter how much he spent, the New York City government would pay in the end.

"If you want to build a new city, you'd better go find Mr. Governor. Don't you think New York is too crowded now? I don't even want to go to Clinton Castle. After staying there for a long time, I feel that it will always be lacking in oxygen." Li Mu wanted to get everything done at once, and the expansion of New York City is also imminent. Regardless of whether it can be used now, take up the territory first.

Currently, in New York City, it refers to Manhattan and its surrounding urban agglomerations in broad sense, and in narrow sense, it only refers specifically to Manhattan. Compared with the current population of New York City, Manhattan is really too small.

This has certain historical reasons. You should know that Manhattan is on an island with inconvenient external transportation. Currently, only a bridge in Brooklyn is under construction, which is far from meeting Manhattan's transportation needs.

In Li Mu's opinion, if I want to turn Manhattan and the urban agglomeration around him into a whole, there is still a lot of work to do. On the Brooklyn side alone, I need at least 5 bridges, and then I have to supplement it with ferries to meet it.

Compared to building a house, building a bridge makes more money. Jinqiao Yin Road, these businesses are of course prepared for Junma Construction Company.

"Yes, it should be expanded..." Arthur agreed with Li Mu's statement. Although it was not as exaggerated as Li Mu said, as the mayor of a contract, Arthur knew more about how nervous the municipal land in New York was.
