497 Olive Branch

Although the governor of New York is a Democrat, it is the world of Republicans in New York City.

The tycoons all have their own news channels. Ulysses Grant cannot run for the Republican election on behalf of the Republican Party, and did not cause any disturbance in New York, and there were not even several newspapers discussing it.

In the past few years of Ulysses Grant's rule, it was the years when the Junma Group went from scratch to soaring, so Li Mu hoped that Ulysses Grant would continue to appear.

But for most other people, it doesn’t have any special significance for who is president. Because Ulysses Grant has been criticizing badly in recent years, many people will subconsciously want to see if the situation would be better if another person was president.

Li Mu hid on the Governor's Island and seemed to be unwilling to the world. In fact, as long as Li Mu is in New York, Governor's Island is the focus of many people.

When Rockefeller came to find Li Mu, he said to Li Mu in this way: "It is normal to change the president. Grant can never be president all the time. No matter who becomes president, he will not be our enemy."

Rockefeller is very confident. This comes from the strength he has. The oil industry is the lifeblood of a country's economy and its position in the national economy is getting heavier. No matter who is on the stage, it is necessary to ensure the rapid development of standard oil, so that it will have enough driving force for the US economy.

When J.P. Morgan came to Li Mu, he told Li Mu that "the president should have changed a long time ago. There have been constant corruption scandals and economic turmoil in recent years. We need a stable environment so that we can concentrate on developing our own businesses."

J.P. Morgan is definitely a "human" among entrepreneurs. He likes to do things step by step and defeat the enemy with a dignified and kingly power. He does not like to engage in conspiracy.

Such people hate secret operations, so although J.P. Morgan did not say that, he had a lot of opinions about Ulysses Grant.

At the end of September, Grover Cleveland brought unexpected news to Li Mu. Democratic presidential nomination candidate, New York Governor Samuel Tilden, hoped to get a chance to have dinner with Li Mu.

This is a request, not a request, and this request is a bit presumptuous.

As a Republican, at this sensitive and critical time point, if Li Mu meets with the Democratic presidential candidate in private, it will definitely have a certain negative impact on Li Mu in the Democratic Party.

However, Li Mu doesn't care about this negative impact. Anyway, Li Mu doesn't plan to run for president, and he doesn't mean to seek Li Mu's opinions when he elects president. Since it is clearly not popular, why bother to stick to his butt with a warm face?

Besides, Glover Cleveland is the chief lawyer of Junma Group and has played a huge role in the merger of Chuntian, Colt and Winchester of Junma Group. At the same time, Grover Cleveland is still the future president, so this face must be given.

On the evening of October 1st, Li Mu hosted a banquet at the poor castle to entertain Samuel Tilden.

Although Li Mu doesn't mind having supper with Samuel Tilden, he still has to avoid the suspicion that he can avoid. Eating in Clinton Castle can be explained as an encounter. Anyway, Samuel Tilden is also a frequent visitor of Clinton Castle, so it's hard to say on Governor's Island. All New Yorkers know that unless they get Li Mu's invitation, no one can land on the island. It would be too far-fetched to explain this as an encounter.

Dinner was held on the third floor of Clinton Castle, with only one guest, Samuel Tilden, the chef was a strict father, and Chuxue served as a waiter, and Mason was guarding the door.

"Reim, I have to say that you and your horse group are so amazing. Three years ago, no one in New York knew your name. Look at it now, your name resounds through the streets and alleys. There may be people in New York who don't know Samuel Tilden, but everyone will definitely know the name Reim." Samuel Tilden's expression was sincere and sincere, and it looked 100% from the heart.

It sounds a bit suspicious of "flattering", but it is still within acceptable range. Samuel Tilden is not wrong. In New York, Li Mu is definitely more famous than anyone else. Not to mention Samuel Tilden, even Ulysses Grant can't do it.

"Mr. Governor is really too rewarding. This should be attributed entirely to the wise leadership of Mr. Governor. This is the stable environment created by Mr. Governor, so I can achieve some minor results, and this result is not worth mentioning." Li Mu also had a sincere expression and spoke sincerely, looking 100% from the heart.

"It's so embarrassing..." Samuel Tilden put down the knife in his hand and wiped the sweat that did not exist on his forehead. His tone became more familiar: "Reim, why can't you call me my name directly? Do you also want me to call you Mr. Chairman? Oh, I almost forgot, I should call you His Majesty the King."

Reim's nickname in New York is King, which not only means that Li Mu is amazingly powerful in New York, but also means that the Junma Group's undisputed overlord position in the industry it is located in.

It is indeed the overlord. Whether it is Junma Weapons or Junma Electric Company, it is almost monopolized in the United States. Such a market position can only be described as "king".

In addition to Junma Weapons and Junma Electrical Company, the strength of Junma Automobile Company and Junma Construction Company cannot be underestimated. In the automotive industry and construction industry, although Junma Automobile Company and Junma Construction Company have competitors, the strength of their competitors is not worth mentioning. Especially in the automotive industry, Vanderbilt Automobile Company and Junma Automobile Company are simply vassals of Junma Automobile Company.

"Okay Samuel, I admit my mistake. I didn't deliberately alienate you, I just expressed my respect appropriately." It was exposed in person, even with Li Mu's thick skin, I couldn't help feeling hot on my face.

"Okay, let's get to know again. My name is Samuel Tilden, an old New Yorker who is about to die. If you have legal affairs, I hope I can serve you." Samuel Tilden pretended to pick up the wine glass and introduced himself to Li Mu again.

"Ah, I'm glad to meet you. My name is Reim Lee, a country boy from Springfield. If you encounter any trouble in New York, I hope I can serve you." Li Mu also picked up the wine glass. Since it was a show, then do the full set.

bite…

When the two cups are touched together, the atmosphere is getting better.

Lao Yan prepared a lot of big dishes for today's dinner, including the famous roast duck in the capital of the Qing Empire.

The golden roast duck was placed on a silver cart and pushed up by Lao Yan himself. Chuxue distributed the cakes and scallions to Li Mu and Samuel Tilden for roast duck, as well as other sauces.

Lao Yan held a kitchen knife with a serious expression as if he was attending a grand court meeting. Li Mu and Samuel Tilden subconsciously tidied up their clothes, sat upright, and prepared to enjoy delicious food. This is not only a respect for food, but also a respect for labor.

Lao Yan's sword technique is exquisite, the golden and tender roast duck quilt is as thin as a cicada's wings. Through the slices of meat, you can see the thin light. This hand surprised Samuel Tilden and exclaimed incredible.

In fact, there are many high-end restaurants in New York, including French, Italian, and dark British cuisine. Samuel Tilden, as the Democratic Party governor, is of course knowledgeable. The amazement he shows now is more because of Li Mu's politeness.

Of course, as far as the food itself is concerned, Lao Yan's craftsmanship is indeed amazing.

Each person ate two slices of a roast duck, and the whole duck was removed. The next dish was grilled lamb chops from the Andes, which were also rare delicacies.

"I only realize now that I have missed something for such a long time." The expression on Samuel Tilden's face has changed to color and soul teaching, of course this is indispensable to the credit of alcohol.

"If you want, you can come every day. I'm very free during this period." Li Mu also relaxed a lot, and food is always easier for people to relax.

"Haha... I heard about the Republican nomination, please forgive me. When I heard that Ulysses Grant was not nominated, I had a big drink happily. It was not because Ulysses Grant could not continue to be re-elected, but because those Republican bigwigs ignored your feelings when nominations. I am very sure that this will lead to serious consequences. Although it may not be obvious enough now, it is enough to show the Republicans' attitude towards you, isn't it?" Samuel Tilden was indeed prepared and seized the opportunity to bring the topic to the upcoming National Congress of Republicans.

How to say about nomination? Ulysses Grant's failure to run for the election is not a good thing for the Democrats, at least that's what the Democrats think.

Although many people are not optimistic about Ulysses Grant's successful re-election, Li Mu is confident that Ulysses Grant will be elected as he wishes, but this must be based on Ulysses Grant's eligibility to run for the election.

In this situation, even if Li Mu has great skills, he cannot use it. Many people think... or in the eyes of most people, Ulysses Grant cannot win at all. Even if Li Mu has confidence, the key is that he has no chance to prove himself.

It is understandable for Democrats to think so, and Republicans also think so, that is to destroy the Great Wall. As a new star of the Republican Party, Li Mu has a special identity. Because he was not born in the United States, he will never be qualified to run for the US president. This makes Li Mu's identity transcendent and should be the object of competition among the Republican Party.

Of course, the above situation only happens in ideals, but in reality, because of Li Mu's age, everyone is optimistic about Li Mu's future, but not Li Mu until now. This is really a sad thing.

With this background, Samuel Tilden's purpose of coming to Li Mu was about to come out.

Although Li Mu is a Republican now, it does not mean that Li Mu will always be a Republican. Li Mu is a favorite in the Democratic Party when hiring Glover Cleveland as the chief lawyer of the Junma Group, so even if there is only a slight chance, Samuel Tilden is willing to put in his efforts. Even if he can't pull Li Mu into the Democratic Party, it would be nice to give Li Mu some medicine.

Sooner or later, quantitative change will lead to qualitative change...

"Samuel, it's not the time to talk about this. Maybe you have a lot of confidence in running for president, but I want to say that within ten years, the Democratic Party will not be able to compete with the Republican Party in running for president, so I'm sorry, in this regard, I don't see that we have the possibility of cooperation." Li Mu didn't say anything. Ten years is impossible. There will always be another decade. Let's make a good relationship first. Maybe one day in the future, this good relationship will bear fruit.

"No, no, no, I don't think the Democratic Party has no chance. Although you have a very good personal relationship with Mr. President, I still want to say that the past few years of Mr. President's administration have fully proved that the Republican Party has rotten to the core. You have won four consecutive presidential elections. Everyone is tired of it. They have seen enough of those fat bureaucratic corpses and corpses without asking about the world. They have seen enough of all nepotism and secret operations. It is time to make a change. This is not only what I want to do, but also the voice of all people. But it is regrettable that Republicans have never been willing to sit down and listen quietly to all this." Samuel Tilden's eloquence is indeed good. It is no wonder that Samuel Tilden is elected as a Democrat in the North where the Republican Party has the upper hand. Samuel Tilden must have two tricks.

"You are right. Those nepotism and understatement operations are indeed indignant, but Samuel, if Republicans came to power, can you do better?" Although Li Mu is the vested interest winner of nepotism and understatement operations, Li Mu still opposes those people and things that are free from the law.

As a vested interest winner, what Li Mu has to do now is to maintain this sophisticated national instrument and let it continue to operate at a stable pace, so that Li Mu and his Junma Group can ensure long-lasting prosperity.

The basis for maintaining social stability is that everyone works within the scope of the rules, so that the rules can become the real rules. Therefore, Li Mu hates all secret operations and nepotism.

"Of course, at least in order to rectify the administration and develop the economy, our Democratic Party has the confidence to do better than the Republican Party." Samuel Tilden was not anxious. No matter whether it could be done or not, he would blow the snail out first.

"Okay, I believe you can do it, but the problem is that you can't prove it to me either, so Samuel, I can't give you any promises, at least not now." Li Muyao tightened his teeth and didn't want to be a traitor to the Republican Party now.
