552 Appointment
During the dinner, Li Mu still found an opportunity to communicate with Rockefeller in time.
"The Pennsylvania Court... This is a tough tough problem. There are always people who think they are self-righteous in upholding justice, but they don't know the current affairs. Unfortunately, there is such a judge in the Pennsylvania Legislative Yuan." After hearing Li Mu's words, Rockefeller also expressed a headache.
This kind of situation actually happens everywhere, such as Amos, who had been in trouble with Li Mu before because of Mobileer Credit Company.
Speaking of Mobile Credit Company, Li Mu acted as a negative role. Li Mu had reason to believe that if he changed time and place, Li Mu might become good friends with Amos and do something together.
However, Amos chose to stand opposite Li Mu in the matter of Mobilear Credit Company, and Li Mu was forced to break up with Amos, and Amos was so messed up, which led to Li Mu's journey of blackening.
There is no right or wrong in this matter, it is just a normal reaction from people.
If your own personal interests are not involved, everyone can become a keyboard warrior, and once it is related to your own personal interests, your position and choice will change accordingly.
This is similar to the online public opinion in the 21st century. Li Mu still remembers that before Li Mu traveled through time, there was a time when the Republican police were criticized for violent law enforcement. The overwhelming abuse and accusations on the Internet led to the police being held back when enforcing the law. Then when the high-speed rail was blocked, many keyboard warriors began to blame the police for being too weak and unable to exercise their law enforcement power with a tough storm, which set off a new round of public opinion storm.
Perhaps the same group of people accused the police during the two rounds of public opinion storms, so it is easy to understand. They are just not right to the people. No matter what the police do when enforcing the law, they will always find the entry point for accusation. As for those netizens who listen to the wind and follow the crowd...
Well, they are all children...
From Li Mu's standpoint, Rockefeller's gloom must not be dissatisfied with you, so Li Mu's attitude is quite firm: "Is Pennsylvania your nest? Do you have no influence at all? I don't deny that some judges are upright people, but integrity is definitely not an inappropriate reason. If you can't handle this matter, then I will find someone to deal with it."
Li Mu does not hate upright people. Even most of the time, Li Mu believes that justice should be fair and should not be influenced by the thoughts of some people.
But this also depends on whoever stands. Pennsylvania judges certainly have reason to have a so-called justice for the Philadelphia City Government. If it were after the election, Li Mu would even choose to support the Philadelphia City Government's approach.
But it doesn't work now. Everything Li Mu and even the Republican Party do now should serve the election at the end of the year. During this period, all unstable factors must be eliminated in time. If some people don't know the current affairs, Li Mu doesn't mind turning them into a part of history.
It sounds a bit unscrupulous, but in the United States during this period, this was the only thing Li Mu could do.
That's all you can do.
"Don't be excited, don't be excited, leave this matter to me, I will give you a satisfactory answer." Rockefeller did not dare to let Li Mu deal with it.
If Li Mu was asked to deal with this matter personally, Rockefeller could now foresee that Li Mu would definitely start a massacre without any scruples.
That will definitely cause accidental injury.
"Of course, that's your territory, and you should be responsible for this matter." Li Mu has indeed been furious recently. As long as someone dares to jump out and cause trouble for Li Mu, Li Mu will definitely use the simplest and most rude means to let that person understand what "a current affairs are heroes."
The welcome dinner for Ulysses Grant was held in the banquet hall of the Clinton Castle Hotel, a huge banquet hall that can accommodate 600 guests at the same time. Because the venue is too large, there are as many live bands providing music. The welcome dinner included Cuban President Sylvester and Brazilian King Pedro II.
Pedro II was the second emperor of the Brazilian Empire. In 1840, Pedro II, who was only 14 years old, came to power and announced the release of all the slaves he had in the same year.
From the American standpoint, what Pedro II did is very consistent with American values, so Pedro II was regarded as a guest of honor by Americans.
But it is regrettable that slavery has not been completely abolished in Brazil so far. Although Pedro II has been working hard for this, it is obvious that Pedro II cannot completely control the political situation in Brazil.
While enlightened, Pedro II was also a thoroughly militant, implementing a firm expansion policy against his neighboring Paraguay.
It is also regrettable that Pedro II still lacks military capabilities, so Pedro II coveted Paraguay for 20 years, but still did not annex Paraguay, which led to domestic public grievances and political instability.
Such people are exactly what Li Mu likes, as arms merchants, and their favorite is war madman. If there is no war in the world, Li Mu will starve to death.
As the banquet ended, Li Mu finally found the opportunity to get along alone with Pedro II.
After Li Mu made a brief introduction to himself, Pedro II immediately showed a strong interest in Li Mu.
"Reim, I'm very happy to know you. In your native language, I have also admired Daming for a long time..." When Pedro II said "received Daming for a long time", Pedro II actually used Chinese. It seems that Pedro II had done his homework before.
"Your Majesty, you are so polite. In fact, what I did is not worth mentioning, your experience is fascinating." Li Mu knew how to repay his kindness and gave it to him like a good person.
"I am very interested in your horse weapon factory. The heavy rain light and heavy machine guns you produce and the 75mm rapid-fire cannon have amaze me, so if you can, I hope we can find an opportunity to have a good chat in the past two days." Pedro II did have some requests.
War madmen all have this problem. Their weapons are always insufficient, and Li Mu's existence is exactly this, so Li Mu and Pedro II really feel that they wish they met too late.
"Of course, I also hope to communicate in-depth with you. If I can show my value and help you, then I will be deeply honored." Li Mu will definitely not miss such an opportunity.
"Haha, what are you talking about?" Ulysses Grant, who had been toasting for a round of wine, finally returned.
"We're talking about tomorrow's opening ceremony..."
"I feel that the wine used for today's banquet is too rich. I didn't prepare so many kinds for me at the beginning."
Li Mu and Pedro II gave two completely different answers.
"You must understand this, after all, there is only one Mr. President." Li Mu responded quickly, and he kept silent in his words, and ran away Ulysses Grant.
This is also a matter of course. No matter how awesome Pedro II is, he is also the king of Brazil and has nothing to do with the United States. Ulysses Grant is the president of the United States. This is his own person, so he must be more attentive.
"This sentence really makes me sad. I feel like a country relative who comes to visit my relatives in remote areas." Pedro II couldn't help laughing and laughing.
This is nothing wrong with the emperor. The emperor has three poor relatives. Only the orphans like Li Mu who have never seen their parents since childhood would not feel this way.
Of course, as the king of a country, it also takes courage to be able to make fun of yourself without any scruples, so Li Mu felt very good about Pedro II in an instant.
"Come on, if you are a poor relative, then what am I? Are you the clown who warmed up before the play begins?" Ulysses Grant also has humorous cells. Of course, it depends on who it is. If the identity does not match, it probably won't have the chance to appreciate Ulysses Grant's humor.
"Gentlemen, let's talk about tomorrow's opening ceremony..." Li Mu changed the topic in time.
"What's there to talk about? I'll ring the bell with His Majesty the King tomorrow. I'm sorry, Reim, I guess there are not so many people standing on the rostrum." Ulysses Grant was very clear about tomorrow's itinerary and did not need Li Mu's special reminder.
"Ringing the Bell" is part of tomorrow's opening ceremony, which is a synonym. When Ulysses Grant and Pedro II ring the bell, the largest Curtis-style steam opportunity at the exhibition will be launched, and this steam engine will provide enough power for the entire main exhibition hall.
Oh, it was not just Ulysses Grant and Pedro II who rang the bell, but also Sylvester, the President of the United States of Cuba.
Sylvester is now in a corner of the banquet hall and has a great conversation with Benjamin Harrison.
Li Mu is not without malicious speculation. I wonder if Sylvester and Benjamin Harrison are talking about Crawford.
Crawford is Sylvester's daughter and Benjamin Harrison's girlfriend. Benjamin Harrison is already married, so the relationship between the father-in-law and son-in-law is indeed a bit complicated. I don't know how Benjamin Harrison faced Sylvester. His psychological quality is indeed strong.
Li Mu did not disturb the exchange of relationship between his father-in-law and son-in-law. He came to the door of the banquet hall and raised his hand to call Yan Shun over.
"Tell Melville to make a plan, I want to do a business with the Brazilians, and all joints must be opened. Before Christmas this year, I want all Brazilian troops to produce weapons with the Horse Weapons Company." Li Mu's requirements are very high, which can be regarded as an assessment of Melville Fowler.
After Glover Cleveland resigned from the Junma Group, Melville Fowler began to serve as the chief lawyer of the Junma Group.
Speaking of Melville Fowler, this guy is also a famous figure in American history. Just after Grover Cleveland became president, Melville Fowler became the ninth chief justice of the United States.
Of course, Melville Fowler is not very famous yet. It will take about ten years before Melville Fowler will make his mark. Li Mu is considered an early investment, which is considered to have added a double insurance to Grover Cleveland.
Grover Cleveland is a Democrat. After the Civil War, Grover Cleveland was the first Democratic president. Although Li Mu and Grover Cleveland have a good relationship now, no one can guarantee that after Grover Cleveland becomes the president of the United States, will Grover Cleveland fulfill their promises and do extrajudicial grace to the Junma Group.
Li Mu is now equivalent to adding a double guarantee to the future Junma Group. Even if Grover Cleveland betrays the overall situation of the Democratic Party, he will target Li Mu and Junma Group everywhere. As long as the Chief Justice can stand with Li Mu at that time, Li Mu will have the confidence to face any questioning.
"Yes, sir." Yan Shun immediately turned around and left after receiving the order.
Although Yan Shun was not qualified to enter the banquet hall to attend a welcome dinner for Ulysses Grant, Yan Shun still stood at the door of the banquet hall and did not dare to be careless for a moment.
When Li Mu returned to the banquet hall, someone came over immediately.
"Mr. Reim, I'm glad to know you." The person who spoke was a big bearded white old man with a lush beard on his face. If he ignored his skin color, he would be similar to Zhang Fei.
"Please forgive me, who are you?" Li Mu thought for a long time and gave the person in front of him no impression at all.
"Of course you don't know me. Strictly speaking, this is the first time we met..." The white-bearded old man smiled bitterly, and then introduced himself seriously: "Please allow me to introduce myself to you. I am Archel Theresa from Texas. I was previously the executive president of the Cotton Farmers Association in Texas."
Texas Cotton Farmers Association... Li Mu immediately remembered this organization that was almost forgotten by him.
"So, what's the point?" Li Mu felt no favor in Texas, so he immediately pulled down his face, and he was a little impatient in his words.
"I am no longer the president of the Texas Cotton Farmers Association. Although the Cotton Farmers Association still exists, the Cotton Farmers Association is actually dead. It is thanks to you. If you hadn't put a huge pressure on us, the Cotton Farmers Association still exists..." Archil Theresa said a little too much, and there was no point in it, and Li Mu was already impatient.
"Please tell me the point, you know, I'm very busy, everyone in this banquet hall is very busy, so I'm afraid I don't have time to reminisce about someone here." Although the Texans have been convinced, Li Mu still feels uncomfortable when he thinks of what the Texans did that day.
When it comes to the social status of Li Mu, there is no need to hide his true feelings. Like it is like it, hate it is hate it. Others may not understand it, but they must accept it.
"Yes, of course I know you're busy, so I hope to get a chance to have a long talk with you in the office, and believe me, it will definitely be beneficial to you." Archil Theresa hasn't figured out the situation yet.
