In the 21st century, the president was just a nominal leader of the country, acting as the mascot of the country. What truly had a strong influence on the country and determined the fate of the country were the omnipresent chaebols and interest alliances.

In the first half of the nineteenth century, the Vanderbilt family was the largest chaebol in the United States, so it is understandable how surprised the senior officials in Washington were when Paul Vanderbilt was killed at home.

At the same time, the Junma Group was undoubtedly the largest chaebol in the United States at the end of the 19th century, so even if Li Mu was most suspicious of Paul Vanderbilt's death, William Evart was still on Governor's Island, not the police.

"For the entire country, we need established order so that we can always maintain an upward attitude and consciously maintain good order is the obligation of every citizen, because this is also protecting the rights of citizens. We do not want to see this happening. It may happen in the Vanderbilt family today, and it may happen in any place tomorrow. If this behavior is not effectively curbed, then the justice we have always maintained will completely collapse-" It is obvious that William Evart is not just coming to Li Mu to talk about Paul Vanderbilt.

William Evart's meaning is very obvious. If everyone does not abide by order, then what happened today at Vanderbilt's house may also happen tomorrow on the Governor's Island. Although this is just a baseless imagination and even a bit vicious, the words are rough but not rough, and the murderers will always kill them.

Li Mu didn't say anything, and looked at William Evat and smiled slightly, and had already sentenced Hayes and William Evat to death in his heart.

Your sister, when Hayes was not president, he said it was a scattered thing, as if Hayes became president, Li Mu could become the emperor.

Now that Hayes is the president as he wishes, he asks William Evat to come and beat Li Mu from time to time, just as Li Mu and the Junma Group are the biggest obstacles to Hayes building a fair society. He has seen a rebellious person, but has never seen a rebellious person so quickly.

"——Of course, Mr. President also knows, Reim, you don't need to do such a thing. You are the smartest person in our America. Smart people never do stupid things-" Li Mu didn't say anything, and William Evat could only continue to say it, probably because he saw that Li Mu was in a bad mood. William Evat tried to say something good so as not to cause more serious consequences.

There is a popular saying on the Internet in the 21st century, "Poverty limits my imagination." The power of money cannot be ignored at any time. Not to mention the 19th century, even in the 21st century, it is not difficult to shut up a person. Think about how Diana died. Because she is a celebrity, Diana has such a great influence. So will more people die silently?

The answer is absolutely yes.

With the money and power that Li Mu has, Li Mu can do anything as he pleases, that is, Li Mu was not born in the United States, otherwise Li Mu could even run for the US president. As long as Li Mu is willing, and it is certain that Li Mu has a high chance of being elected. If Li Mu is willing, it is not impossible to subvert a country. In South America and East Asia, Li Mu has shown his ability to make Hays and William Evat feel chilled, so that they have lost their power when facing Li Mu, which is necessary to achieve the purpose of warning and not make Li Mu angry. This measure is difficult to grasp.

What is certain is that the current Li Mu and Junma Group are definitely more difficult than the Cornelius Vanderbilt and the Vanderbilt family at that time.

"William, just say anything. Let me confirm. I have confirmed it. What else do you want to say?" Li Mu interrupted William Evat's flattery. There are already many such flattery. Even if it comes from the Secretary of State, there is not much freshness.

Li Mu's intelligence is recognized as being able to create Junma Group from scratch in just a few years. In terms of the speed of accumulating wealth, even Rockefeller has to be at a disadvantage in front of Li Mu. As for the older generation of Conneils Vanderbilt, it is simply incomparable to Li Mu. Conneils Vanderbilt was engaged in a traditional industry and had a lot of experience from his predecessors to learn from. Many of Li Mu engaged in emerging industries, and even had to develop technology by himself. No fool can do all this.

"What I want to say is that if you need it, then you can rely on your own efforts to promote the country's intervention in the economy. You have many friends in Congress and have wider connections than Mr. President. You may not be able to do what Mr. President cannot do." William Evatt finally found the entry point, which was what Li Mu just proposed, so Li Mu should be interested.

It sounds quite incredible that his connections are wider than those of the president. In fact, that's what happened. Without Li Mu's support, Hays would not have been president at all, and he would not even pass the party's primary election.

After becoming president, Hayes' political ambitions did not conform to the current universal values ​​of the United States. Establishing a "fair and justice" America sounds very confusing, but it is just a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water. It cannot be done in the 21st century, and the 19th century is simply ridiculous.

Speaking of allies in Congress, members of Congress seem to have noble identities, but in fact they act as spokespersons of a certain force like Langkel and Chen Guofang. Even in the 21st century, no one can enter Congress to serve as members of the parliament by relying solely on public opinion. It is even more impossible in the 19th century. Because of the good relationship between Li Mu and the tycoons, Li Mu really has many friends in Congress.

Li Mu has at least more friends in Congress than Hayes. Hayes has almost offended everyone because of his "fairness and justice". Look at the slogan mentioned, it seems that only Hayes in the United States can represent fairness and justice. Can others only build relationships and engage in conspiracy?

This is completely opposite to the "people", how can you have friends?

"Ha, I promote the country's intervention in the economy. I will do the bad guys. It's best that the benefits are yours. Is that what it means?" If Li Mu agrees to such a thing, then Li Mu will not deserve to be described as a smart person.

Increasing the government's level of intervention in the economy will definitely increase the government's voice. If this happens, it will happen during Hayes' term, and then subsequent presidents may be grateful to Hayes.

By the same token, increasing the level of government intervention in the economy will definitely arouse opposition from all capitalists. Although Li Mu does not oppose state intervention in the economy, he will never be the first to be a pioneer. In the past history, great as Roosevelt was also taking advantage of the fact that the country was in a state of war during World War II and the presidential power increased greatly. Li Mu thought he did not have the ability to provoke World War II, so let it go.

"Haha, of course this is not the case. I just said that you should be more cautious when you are in your current position." William Evat smiled a little embarrassedly. Even if it was a politician's talent, he could not resist being ridiculed in person.

"I'm already cautious enough, Mr. Secretary of State--" Li Mu didn't want to talk nonsense. Why do you have to listen to others' slandering social status earned by his ability?

Speaking of this, it doesn't make sense to continue chatting. William Evatt obviously doesn't understand what "embarrassing chat" is, but fortunately William Evatt knows to end in time.

"It's sad to be the Secretary of State to be this." Looking at William Evatt's back, Henry shook his head and smiled bitterly. William Evatt's performance today was terrible. Not to mention the Secretary of State, such a person would probably not even be able to make it to the branch manager in Junma Group.

This is considered a feature of the East and the West. In the East, first-class talents become officials and second-class talents go to do business. In the West, the best talents are all in the business world, politicians are spokespersons, and only a very small number of geniuses can stand out.

This problem is relative. There were also many successful businessmen in ancient East, such as Fan Li and Lu Buwei, who were all examples of successful businessmen. Such things are more determined by the environment. The status of official-based state officials will be infinitely magnified, while the Western electoral system is just the opposite. Only those like Li Mu who hold a large number of votes in his hands are real bosses.

"He may be a good lawyer, but other aspects may be possible." Li Mu was helpless. This is the case in the United States at this stage. The easiest person to transform into a politician is the lawyer. Perhaps they are all good at using their own words.

"Okay, I used to be a lawyer. Although I was not a good lawyer, it seems that my talent in business is pretty good." Henry was very glad to hold Li Mu's thick legs. If he hadn't met Li Mu, Henry wouldn't have imagined his current life.

"Then let's use your talent. Remember to notify Washington that we are preparing to raise the standards of cars, so the previous contract is not suitable and we have to re-negotiate." Li Mu would not miss this opportunity. The order that William Vanderbilt lost has been brought back, and the lost part of the profit must be retrieved.

Although Li Mu promised that Gris Vanderbilt would retain the logo and factory name of Vanderbilt, Li Mu no longer planned to produce Vanderbilt cars with low technical content and high cost and low profit. Relatively speaking, the assembly line and standardized Junma cars are obviously of higher value. In this way, there is a basis for renegotiation with the Ministry of Finance, which is nothing more than writing a few more bearer checks. Henry is now familiar with this kind of thing.

The next day, Arthur asked Li Mu to watch football.

As the favorite sport of New Yorkers, the emergence of the major leagues has effectively enriched the lives of New Yorkers. There are fixed rugby games every weekend. Because there are relatively few teams in the league, each team has to play more than six games with the same opponent every season, which also makes a complete rugby season lasting for more than half a year. This is simply a blessing for New Yorkers who lack entertainment. Rugby has become the new favorite of New Yorkers. Even if it rains on weekends, the court is crowded with people.

Li Mu and Arthur must be in the private room when they go to watch the football. The open-air football stadium next to Junma Forum has 120 private rooms. Li Mu and Arthur are both holders of the private room season tickets, among which Li Mu's box number is 008 and Arthur's box number is 007.

Arthur's box number has nothing to do with the agents. Speaking of which, this is the box that Li Mu chose for Arthur. In Chinese, 7 is a good number, especially for politicians, it is a seven-game.

On the surface, all the private rooms look the same, but in fact the inner world is unique. Li Mu's No. 008 private room looks exactly the same as other private rooms, but when you walk into the private room, you will find that the private room is amazingly large, twice as large as other private rooms, so there is an independent wine cabinet and bar in the private room. Of course, there is no bartender here. If you want to drink, you need to do it yourself.

Li Mu is definitely the most valuable bartender in the world, but he is far inferior to other bartenders. Fortunately, Arthur didn't mind either. Two people had a glass of wine, and then sat behind the glass curtain wall. The words in his mouth had nothing to do with the game on the court.

"Since recent, railway-related stocks are growing rapidly, and stocks in related industries are also rising. Andrew is now so happy. Carnegie Reim Steel's stock has almost doubled recently. All this is exactly the same as a few years ago. Unfortunately, it seems that people have forgotten what happened a few years ago and still want to put all their savings into the stock market. This is simply crazy." Arthur expressed concern about the current market. The economic crisis in the past few years was caused by the collapse of the railway company's stock. Now the railway company's stocks are growing rapidly again. Arthur is really worried that history will happen again.

"This is a cycle of reincarnation. You can only see thieves eating meat, but you can't see thieves being beaten, and you deserve it." Li Mu never trades stocks, so all the subsidiaries of Junma Group have not been listed. This is also the reason why Li Mu keeps a low profile. If his company does not go public, there is no need to publish financial statements. Li Mu's wealth is like an iceberg under the sea. Except for Li Mu himself, no one knows how many specific there are. All the so-called revelations in the newspaper are speculations.

Arthur may have discovered it, but he has not yet learned the truth. Li Mu knew the reason for the rapid rise in the railway company's stock. It seems that United Pacific Railway and North Pacific Railway have already attacked New York and Hudson River Railway. No matter who they will become the winner, Li Mu will make sure to make a profit.

"When I was the mayor, I didn't have to worry about the economic crisis. Now that I am the governor, I can't sleep every day. Looking at the stock market numbers, I feel my heartbeat is accelerating. If I climb up in the future, I'm really worried that my body will not be able to withstand it." Arthur joked that this guy has gained a serious body weight in the past two years and has been developing horizontally, which is very consistent with the public's impression of politicians - a corrupt official with a big belly.
