Everyone knows that Junma Group is rich, has an almost monopoly industry nature and a massive cash flow. The US government has not officially recognized it yet, but as long as you have a little understanding of Junma Group, you will know that Li Mu is now a standard billionaire.

Considering Li Mu's identity and background, this is also a standard "American miracle". If the US government is smart now, it should promote Li Mu and his Junma Group as typical examples of the "American Dream".

What else can be more inspiring than this?

From Li Mu's standpoint, if the US government has this plan, Li Mu will not refuse. This is the best opportunity to expand the influence of Li Mu and Junma Group. If the US government does this, it will be equivalent to posting a talisman to Li Mu. From then on, Li Mu and him will not encounter any difficulties in Junma Group again, otherwise it will be equivalent to breaking the "American Dream" established by the US government with their own hands.

In another time and space, John Rockefeller and his Standard Oil are representatives of the American Dream. Although Standard Oil was finally forced to be split, everyone knows that the so-called "split" is just a bitter plan. Standard Oil is still the huge Standard Oil, without any change.

Li Mu has been planning to deal with possible monopoly investigations two years ago, and has achieved remarkable results so far. Although the automobile industry and the arms industry are actually monopolized or controlled by the Junma Group, it does not seem like this. The automobile industry has the Vanderbilt family disrupted the situation, and the arms industry is even the same as before. The Junma Weapons Corporation belongs to the Junma Group, the New Haven Weapons Factory belongs to the Bank of America, the Hartford Weapons Factory belongs to the Barrons family, and the Winchester Weapons Factory belongs to the San Diego Investment Company.

Although this is also suspected of concealing one's own intention, it at least doesn't seem so blatant. As long as the US government is not determined to kill the Junma Group, this arrangement will be fine.

The industries that Junma Group is involved in are telecommunications and power. The telecommunications industry is fiercely competitive, with more than a dozen companies of big and small, but the competition among these companies is limited to telegraphs. Regarding telephones, this is still the exclusive patent of Junma Group.

Junma Group implements a responsibility system in the telecommunications and power industries. For example, if Junma Group wants to open up the Washington market, it will establish a completely independent subsidiary in Washington. Although this subsidiary and the New York company have technical exchanges, they are completely independent in finance and have no affiliation with each other, so they can withstand anyone's investigation.

In this way, there will naturally be no monopoly operation. In the current United States, there are five companies engaged in telephone and power operations, namely New York, Boston, Washington, Philadelphia, and San Francisco. Moreover, as the business expands, new companies will definitely continue to appear. No one can say that this is a monopoly operation.

With these preparations, Li Mu is confident no matter who he faces. If there is no administrative intervention, Junma Group will maintain its advantages.

So what Li Mu has to do now is not to find partners, rashly enter a new industry, and find a new enemy for himself. As long as he maintains his existing advantages and prevents the emergence of competitors in time, it is enough.

This is also the fundamental reason why Li Mu demanded the "access system".

Li Mu's job is outside the venue. When he arrives in the venue, what Li Mu can do is extremely limited, so now Hayes still has to constantly greet people and smile everywhere. Li Mu can sit comfortably on the chair and enjoy the cigar. This is the benefit of hiding behind the scenes.

"You are so comfortable!" Rockefeller finally arrived late and sat down on the chair behind Li Mu: "Isn't it time to strive for the final effort? Are you sure to win? Or have you given up?"

Li Mu is sure that Rockefeller is in a bad mood now.

From the end of the second round of voting until now, Rockefeller has not received any good news. People keep rebelling from James Brian's camp and turning to support Hays, which makes Rockefeller feel anxious, especially James Garfield's statement in the morning, which is equivalent to ringing the death knell of James Brian, so Li Mu can understand Rockefeller's mood very well now.

Just like Li Mu was in a month ago, Li Mu had just learned that Ulysses Grant could not be qualified for the nomination.

"It seems that your location shouldn't be here..." Li Mu refused to answer and wanted to drive Rockefeller away.

Standard Oil's nest is in Pennsylvania, so strictly speaking, Rockefeller should sit in the Pennsylvania seat.

"Aren't you not in Massachusetts?" Rockefeller disliked Li Mu's behavior of only allowing state officials to set fires and not allowing the people to light the lamps.

Compared with the Senate and House of Representatives elections, the qualifications of party representatives are more random, and the seats in each state are of course fixed. However, for people like Li Mu and Rockefeller, "seats" are no longer meaningful. As long as they are willing, they can represent any state.

"I didn't come on behalf of Junma Weapon Factory, I came on behalf of Junma Automobile Factory." Li Mu was proud and showed the benefits of many companies in his hands.

The headquarters of Junma Weapon Factory is in Massachusetts, while the headquarters of Junma Automobile Factory is in New York, so what Li Mu said is fine.

"Stop talking nonsense, I officially notify you that if you want Hayes to be president, you must agree to my two requests..." Rockefeller's style was rude and he had no intention of talking nonsense with Li Mu here.

"Are you going to surrender?" Li Mu laughed and prepared to accept Rockefeller, the last prisoner.

"You think you are sure to win, right? Let me tell you this. I may not be able to make James Brian president, but I definitely have a way to make Hays unable to become president." Rockefeller began to cheat, without the slightest awareness of surrender.

Li Mu immediately had a headache. Rockefeller was right. Even if Hayes defeated James Brian, as long as Rockefeller was determined to interfere, Hayes would not be president in the end.

Don't underestimate Rockefeller's influence. Although he does not have so many propaganda channels like Li Mu, Rockefeller himself also represents a political force that cannot be ignored. If Rockefeller turns to the Democratic Party in the final decisive battle, even if Li Mu goes all out, he will not dare to say that he will definitely win. After all, the current Republican Party is at a disadvantage in the Democratic Party. If the Republican Party wants to win this election, it needs all Republicans to unite to win. If Xiao Wall is in trouble at this time, it will be a real way to die.

"If you have something to do, let's talk about it after the vote. Time will be tight, and we have no time to bargain." Li Mu looked at his watch and wanted to wait until the vote was over before talking.

The voting is expected to start at six o'clock, and there is still half an hour left. The deputies have already started entering the market. There is indeed no time to bargain.

"Let's go out and talk..." Rockefeller was anxious, pulled Li Mu up and walked out of the venue.

"What are you doing? The voting will start in a while..." Li Mu didn't want to leave. Li Mu didn't want to miss any exciting dramas in the four-year drama.

"Haha, this is New York. Don't worry, as long as we don't come back, they won't be able to vote." Rockefeller is quite confident in this regard.

Li Mu has a great influence in New York, and Rockefeller has a great influence in New York, and is even greater than Li Mu in some aspects. Therefore, Rockefeller is the real local snake in New York. If Rockefeller is unhappy, he will have the ability to make all New Yorkers unhappy.

Sure enough, seeing Rockefeller pulling Li Mu out, all the representatives entering the government hall immediately consciously separated and made way for the road.

Li Mu noticed that James Bryan's face on the rostrum was extremely ugly.

At this moment, Li Mu must have ignored James Brian's idea and came to the door of the government hall with Rockefeller. Rockefeller casually found a room and pushed the door open.

Is this the New York City Government? Naturally, there are a lot of staff, and several staff members in the room are busy.

"I need a quiet room." Rockefeller's voice was not high, but the expression on his face was extremely serious.

Several staff members looked at each other, and no one dared to ask Rockefeller to find another place, and no one dared to look at Rockefeller and Li Mu for more. Several people quickly packed up the items on their tables and slipped out along the wall with their eyebrows down, without any resistance.

When the last person went out, Rockefeller raised his hand and threw the door on it, patted his hands and smiled with satisfaction: "It's quiet now..."

It was indeed very quiet and the air was still fresh.

Li Mu casually found an ashtray, extinguished the cigar in his hand, leaned on the table, supported the table with both hands, and looked at Rockefeller helplessly: "Okay, tell me what your conditions are."

Facing such a Rockefeller, Li Mu was helpless.

"First of all, I asked to lower the tax rate for petroleum products." Rockefeller offered the first condition.

"Ha! You might as well ask for tax exemption..." Li Mu immediately started to mock him.

Under Rockefeller's strong operation, the current tax rate of oil products in the United States is extremely low, not only tax exemption, but also almost the same. If you continue to require a lower tax rate in this case, you might as well just get a more thorough tax exemption.

This tax rate has a background. As far as the world is concerned, Standard Oil is the dominant player. There are Krupp and Enfield in the weapons production industry, and Standard Oil has no rivals at all.

Therefore, in order to support its own industry, the US government set the tax rate for the oil industry very low.

"If it can be free, that's better." Rockefeller seemed to have not heard the ridicule in Li Mu's words, and there was no embarrassment on his face.

Now Li Mu completely retreated, and his face was so thick that he was indeed invulnerable to swords and guns.

"The second condition is to limit the number of refineries. We have now had enough refineries, so from now on, no new refineries are allowed to be opened within ten years." Rockefeller continued, and the conditions offered were even more ruthless than Li Mu's access system.

"I want to ask if there is something that James Brian promised you these conditions?" Li Mu was very curious. If James Brian could agree to such conditions, then why can't Li Mu agree to Li Mu's access system?

"Of course!" Rockefeller looked as if the conditions that he did not agree to him were not tolerated by nature.

"Tsk..." Li Mu didn't believe it at all. It was impossible to go to James Bryan to verify it in person.

"It's these two conditions. If Mr. Governor can agree, then I can help Mr. Governor win the election." Rockefeller was not afraid that Hayes would not agree.

"Even if you don't help, Mr. Governor can win!" Li Mu really can't stand Rockefeller's like this, I know you can't stand me, but you just have no choice.

"That's not necessarily true. If the Governor disagrees with these two requests, then I'll go find someone else, and someone will agree." Rockefeller was proud, pulled a chair and sat on the table.

Li Mu resisted the urge to kick the chair down, looked at the time displayed on the watch and reminded Rockefeller again: "Okay, I will convey your request to Mr. Hayes, but I don't guarantee that Mr. Hayes will agree. Let us vote for the last round of votes first and then discuss this issue."

Li Mu's watch is the latest product produced by "Men Gang". It has a Swiss movement, a platinum case, and is set with 12 authentic diamonds. The bracelet is a hand-woven leather rope provided by the Urban Beauty Store. Such a watch is priced at $15,000 in the "Men Gang" store.

Plus it's a bit expensive, right? But in fact, this is another monopoly product. Although Patek Philippe produced its first watch in 1868, Patek Philippe did not realize the value of the watch and did not apply for related patents. This made Li Mu cheaper. As a new utility patent, Junma Group enjoys the monopoly of watches for 14 years.

"Don't worry, I told you just now that as long as I don't agree, no one can vote..." Rockefeller smiled sinisterly, and before he could finish his words, the lights in the room suddenly dimmed.

At this time, there was a scream from the government hall next door outside the door. Only then did Li Mu realize that Rockefeller was indeed prepared.

"What are you doing? These electric lights are provided by Junma Electric Company. Are you going to make trouble?" Li Mu was furious. This was equivalent to slandering Junma Electric Company in front of all Republicans.

"Hahahaha..." Rockefeller smiled wildly, not caring about the words that Li Mu started with "F": "I have told you that as long as I don't agree, no one can vote, so hurry up and go find Mr. Governor. If Mr. Governor decides earlier, then maybe he can catch up tonight..."

"Don't you restore the electricity to me now, otherwise you'll just wait for my claim." Li Mucai, regardless of whether Hayes would agree, no matter what, Li Mu would not bet on the reputation of the electrical company.

"Isn't it just money... the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem." Rockefeller took over his big bag, and he was really rich.
