What did Marx say back then: if there is 50% profit, capital will take risks; if there is 100% profit, capital will dare to trample on all human laws; if there is 300% profit, capital will dare to commit any crime or even the danger of snatching his head.

The return on capital of finding treasures is more than 300%. Li Mu and Rockefeller are looking for the treasure of the underground secret room of Padmanaba Swami Temple. The cost is only one million US dollars from beginning to end, but the profits are more than 200 million. Even if the British do not have such a high return on capital, it is certain that they exceed 300%. How could they give up easily?

Of course, we always see thieves eating meat but not being beaten. On the road to treasure hunting, there are only a few who get rich rewards, and more people lose all their money. This is a game for the rich, and the rich can bear these losses. When the poor take risks, they often lose their lives.

This is not worth the loss, just like the worker trying to hide the emerald in his mouth and takes it away, once discovered, it becomes a sacrifice hanging on the cross, and life is so vulnerable.

On the third day after Ford Benjamin was seriously injured and hospitalized, the Colombian government announced that Ford Benjamin died of severe injuries. The news media in Bogota were suddenly in full swing. Ford Benjamin's "death" is considered a major victory for the Colombian government in the fight against criminals. Several extreme media even described Ford Benjamin's death as a victory for the Colombian government against the evil US government, which made the Colombian government beat a wave of praise.

Hayes still gave Li Mu a good face. After Li Mu found Hayes, Hayes sent a stern official letter to the Colombian government through Secretary of State William Evac, urging the Colombian government to release Ford Benjamin as quickly as possible and to ensure the safety of Ford Benjamin.

After this official letter was disclosed by local media in Bogota, Hays almost became the public enemy of Colombia. The Colombians had to worry while angrily denounced Hays. This is the best situation now. It is not that Colombia refused to let Ford Benjamin go, but Ford Benjamin did not wait for the amnesty order of the Colombian president. This cannot be blamed for not giving Hays face.

Of course, Panama has its benefits. On the day Ford Benjamin died of illness, the Colombian government lifted the lockdown on the hospital. That night, Ford Benjamin returned to Panama City on a steamer. It is estimated that Ford Benjamin could not preside over the work for a long time.

It was only a while. After learning that Ford Benjamin's injury would not endanger his life, Li Mu did not even intend to recall Ford Benjamin back to New York. After Ford Benjamin recovered from injury, Ford Benjamin will still be the general manager of Panama. I believe that Ford Benjamin would not make similar mistakes again by then.

As for whether the Colombian government will be embarrassed by then?

Who cares? If Ford Benjamin is willing, he just needs to change his name. Nowadays, there are no TV or Internet, so naturally few people know Ford Benjamin. After a while, people will forget this matter. Even if Ford Benjamin doesn’t change his name, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, there are not too many people in the United States who have a name and surname. Isn’t it okay to serve as the general manager of Panama for two consecutive times?

Of course, as long as Li Mu agrees.

"Look, this is what we have gained in the past half month. There are a total of 11,000 goldware and 3,500 jewelry jewelry. Although these jewelry have not been valued yet, it is conservatively estimated that these gold and jewelry are worth at least 150 million US dollars." Li Mu was very happy recently. The New York team won a lot of money in the Olympics. After Yan Hu won the gold medal for rapid fire in the 50-meter pistol, the New York team has won eleven competitions, including six of which are Chinese. Now the first batch of gold and jewelry has been shipped back to New York. Li Mu is preparing to cast a batch of pure gold gold medals to those champions as a private reward for Li Mu.

After Ford Benjamin's death, the Colombian government seemed to have forgotten the drilling team of Lake Guadavia for a while. Thomas Toimbe and Paul Stewart seized the opportunity to drain all the water of Lake Guadavia and were screening the silt and sand at the bottom of the lake, striving not to miss any gain.

Compared with Paul Stewart's subordinates, the Panama mercenaries were even more arrogant. The mercenaries sent by Mike Zhang to Lake Guadavia were actually equipped with light machine guns, which made Paul Stewart shocked, not to mention the expedition teams hiding in the dark and wanting to be evil, all fled because the Panama mercenaries really dared to shoot, and the Panama mercenaries were known for their ruthlessness in South America.

Compared with the United States, South America is almost like a lawless place, and the jungle rules are fully expressed. Although Paul Stewart's subordinates have done a lot of dirty work, the degree of dirtyness is still a bit worse than that of the Panama company's mercenaries. After all, Paul Stewart's subordinates are all Americans, and the mercenaries sent by Mike Zhang to Colombia are either Colombians or Panamanians. They are even more merciless when they start with their own ethnic groups.

"What else do we have to use oil to make guns? Let's just go to treasure hunting. Tsk tsk, in two or three months, worth 150 million US dollars, which is simply the best business in the world." Rockefeller was just laughing. According to the agreement between Rockefeller and Li Mu and J. P. Morgan, Li Mu and Rockefeller each accounted for 40% of the treasure hunt revenue, and j. P. Morgan only accounted for 20%. In other words, in the past two or three months, Rockefeller had earned nearly 60 million US dollars through treasure hunting, which is much more than what he had earned after working hard to refine oil.

"Go, you go hunting for treasure and sell standard oil to me." J·p·Morgan is welcome. If Rockefeller really wants to sell it, J·p·Morgan will buy it even if he sells it.

This description is appropriate. In terms of personal assets alone, j·p·Morgan’s personal assets are not more than Rockefeller’s, so if Rockefeller really wants to sell standard oil, j·p·Morgan really can’t afford it.

In other words, in the current world, Li Mu may be out of the way, and no one can afford it.

Of course, Rockefeller will definitely not sell Standard Oil. Currently, there is only Standard Oil, a large-scale oil company in the world, so Standard Oil monopolizes almost the world's oil trade, which is much better than Li Mu's Junma Group. Li Mu monopolizes arms business and can only monopolize the domestic market in the United States. Compared with Standard Oil, it is a big mistake.

"This kind of business is only once or twice. We can only play tickets. Next, we will be honest in collecting oil and making guns. This is our old job." Li Mu knew that the treasures and Golden Lake of the underground secret room of Padmanaba Shiwami Temple were so rewarded because of Li Mu cheating. If it were other treasure legends, Li Mu would not look for needles in a haystack. With that skill, Li Mu would rather buy the desert in the Middle East. After decades, it would be more valuable than any treasure.

Rockefeller was just talking, and it was enough to get lucky twice. Rockefeller didn't believe that luck would always be on his side. However, after hearing Li Mu's words, j·p·Morgan was very suspicious: "One or two? What else have you two done?"

What have you done?

The treasure of the underground secret room of Padmanaba Shivami Temple is never dared to admit. Li Mu and Rockefeller don’t want to cause trouble for themselves. As long as the news is leaked, neither Britain nor India will give up. This kind of thing will be ruined in their own stomachs.

Li Mu and Rockefeller were not entangled on this topic, and they quickly opened up the topic after a fight: "A few days ago, at the regular Senate meeting, Texas Senator Neil Felton proposed the Antitrust Act. What do you think?"

"Haha, such a proposal is impossible to pass." J.P. Morgan didn't want to laugh at Neil Felton, but Neil Felton's proposal was obviously unwise. Who is the Antitrust Act targeting? One is Li Mu, the other is Rockefeller, and perhaps the other is Henry DuPont. Andrew Carnegie and J.P. Morgan both almost wanted to be. Li Mu and Rockefeller are two iconic figures in the US economy. What would the American economy look like without Junma Group and Standard Oil?

No one dares to imagine.

"Although it is impossible to pass, we cannot ignore this matter. Texas Senator - well, I have the courage." Li Mu knew who the Antitrust Act was targeted. Although Neil Felton's proposal was not passed this time, what about next time? What about next time? As long as Neil Felton perseveres, sooner or later, Li Mu and Rockefeller will stand on the trial seat as they did in history.

Li Mu does not know Neil Felton, but Li Mu vaguely knows why Neil Felton made this proposal. After all, the four-year presidential election is about to begin again, and Texas is the base of the Democratic Party. As long as the Republican Party has the support of Li Mu, it seems that the Democratic Party will never have a chance of winning. So whether it is Simon Steele founded Steele Weapons Company last year or this time Neil Felton proposed the Antitrust Act, it is all open conspiracy against Li Mu. The Democratic Party has no hope of causing much trouble to Li Mu. As long as it can attract Li Mu's attention, it is enough to prevent Li Mu from running for the Republican Party wholeheartedly.

In fact, people have always been very dissatisfied with the monopoly behaviors of Junma Group and Standard Oil. From the perspective of the US economy, this monopoly behavior is actually not conducive to economic development. Large companies and large enterprises are becoming richer and more powerful, and have more supporters in Congress, but the national strength has not been significantly enhanced. At least for an industry, one company is dominant, and there are definitely few or more companies that compete with each other to be healthy.

"It's not easy to deal with him. Send someone to find his bad stuff and then just find a media outlet to release it. Neil Felton, right? It's guaranteed that he can't finish his whole term." Rockefeller is also not worried. It's too easy for big businessmen to deal with politicians. Nowadays, no one's butts are clean. It's always possible to find black stuff. Even if there isn't, it can be made. Li Mu has so many journalists under his command, and there are always some people who are suitable for doing this kind of thing.

"Since Neil Felton proposed the Antitrust Act, he is ready to be targeted. I am sure that if you send someone to Texas, you will definitely not be able to find anything." J.p. Morgan is not as dark as Rockefeller. Normally, what J.p. Morgan said is indeed very likely.

If Texas is a state with a Republican majority, or even a state with balanced Republican and Democratic power, Neil Felton probably doesn't have the courage. The problem is that Texas has always been a staunch supporter of the Democratic Party. Even in the years when the Civil War just failed, the Republican Party had not won the election in Texas, so this is really hard to operate.

"Then I won't look for it. In recent years, more and more people have opposed monopoly. It seems that there is no problem now, but we must also prepare for the company to be split. These people will not give up until they achieve their goals." Li Mu is actually not worried about this problem. Several years ago, Li Mu had already started to split the subsidiary of Junma Group. It seems that the situation is not bad now, but Rockefeller's standard oil problem is very big.

What Li Mu is really worried about is that the Anti-Monopoly Law is just a beginning. According to another trajectory of time and space, if Li Mu had not appeared, someone should have proposed the "Anti-Chinese Act". Although the "Anti-Chinese Act" was not passed during Hayes' tenure, this is a very bad signal. Just like the current Anti-Monopoly Law, will this be the beginning of another political storm?

No one dared to be sure, Li Mu didn't dare to bet, and Li Mu didn't dare to gamble, so Li Mu was more nervous about this issue than Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan.

"Well, don't be afraid, Standard Oil has now divided into several companies. Not to mention Mobil Oil, California Petroleum on the West Coast has also been established. Next, as long as I want, Standard Oil's branches in each state can become an independent company. Reim, aren't you doing this all the time?" Rockefeller is not a fool. Anyway, he is just tampering with equity and cross-holding. It's easy to set up several investment companies in Cuba. As long as he has a good relationship with the Cuban government, he doesn't even have to pay taxes. That's what Li Mu and J.P. Morgan did.

If we don't specifically refer to it, the current Junma Weapons Company is just referring to the arms company in Junma Town. Springfield, Colt, and Winchester, which Junma Weapons Company, have been accused of a few years ago, are still operating as independent arms companies, and their shareholders are different, so even if the Anti-Monopoly Law is passed, Li Mu cannot be found.
