Simon Steele once set up a weapon factory in Louisiana to try to challenge the monopoly position of Junma Weapons in the US military industry. As a result, Simon Steele's overestimation of his own behavior in the end seems to prove that Junma Weapons' position in the US military industry is unshakable and has not had any impact on Junma Weapons.

Rockefeller is different from Simon Steele. Strictly speaking, although Junma Group has many industries involved, Li Mu is still inferior to Rockefeller when it comes to its position in the US economy. After all, Li Mu is not a white man. Li Mu can be a representative of new immigrants in the United States, but cannot represent the true American spirit. Since the Vanderbilt family gradually declined, the US government has pushed Rockefeller to the altar. If Rockefeller wants to enter the military industry at this time, the impact on Junma Weapons Company is incomparable to Simon Steele. The trick used by Li Mu to deal with Simon Steele will almost have no effect on Rockefeller.

Of course, this does not mean that Li Mu has no way to deal with Rockefeller. After all, the patent in Li Mu's hands is highly exclusive. If Rockefeller really does that, the most likely result is that Rockefeller and Li Mu both suffer losses. What's more, if Rockefeller enters the field monopolized by the Horse Group, Li Mu can also enter the oil field to launch a counterattack against Rockefeller. However, the damage caused by Li Mu to Rockefeller is definitely greater than that caused by Rockefeller to Li Mu.

Of course, Rockefeller is not that crazy. What Rockefeller calls a "weapon company" or "auto factory" is actually just a saying. As long as Rockefeller is still rational, such threats will only exist verbally and will not be truly implemented.

"I'm sure John, I don't want to tell you it's for your own good. Don't force me to tell the truth, otherwise you won't be able to sleep at night." Li Mu did not mean to despise Rockefeller. The East Texas Oilfield was not yet public, telling Rockefeller would only make Rockefeller uneasy.

The reserves of the East Texas oil field are 680 million tons. According to the oil price at this time, it is worth about US$20 billion. Not to mention Rockefeller, even if you add all the Rockefeller and Li Mu's belongings, you can't afford it. Therefore, telling Rockefeller about the facts of the East Texas oil field will not only not free Rockefeller, but will make Rockefeller unable to sleep or eat.

Li Mu has such a large oil field in his hands, and it is just a matter of turning around to create a company comparable to standard oil scale. This makes Rockefeller unable to let go of anyway. With Rockefeller's nature, he must keep the East Texas oil field in his own hands before he can feel at ease.

Without sufficient benefits, Li Mu will definitely not sell the East Texas oil field. Even if Li Mu and Rockefeller have a good relationship, it is not enough. Business is business, and favors belong to favors. Li Mu has always been able to stand up in this regard.

"I am now unable to sleep or eat. The engineer of the drilling team told me that if there is oil under the land you bought, it may be a super oil field with a reserve of more than 100 million tons. Do you think I can sleep?" Rockefeller shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Fortunately, due to the technical level at this time, Rockefeller's engineers did not calculate the accurate reserves of the East Texas oil field, but 100 million tons was enough to surprise Rockefeller. The total reserves of all the oil field in Rockefeller now are less than 100 million tons.

"Maybe there is indeed an oil field there, maybe not. Anyway, you don't have to worry now, because with the current technical level, it is not cost-effective to mine oil in Texas, and it will not pose a threat to your standard oil. So don't worry, I am not interested in mining oil, nor will I sell that land to others. You'd better prepare a large amount of money and prepare to buy that land one day in the future." Li Mu reluctantly gave Rockefeller a promise. With the relationship between Li Mu and Rockefeller, such a promise is still true and credible.

Of course, the facts are not much the same as what Li Mu said. Texas does have abundant shale oil, but the East Texas oil field is not like this. With its current technical level, oil from the East Texas oil field can be exploited, but Li Mu does not need to tell Rockefeller the truth.

"If there is really oil underground, of course I will give you a price that satisfies you, but before that, you should at least give me some confidence." Rockefeller wanted to send a drilling team to that area to confirm what Li Mu said.

"Don't even think about it. That piece of land is the property I left to my son." Li Mu acted like a wealthy miser. The oil industry will maintain rapid development for at least a hundred years, and there is no better investment than this.

Speaking of investment, if it weren't for the bad relationship between Li Mu and the British government, Li Mu would have extended his hand to the Middle East. Compared with the oil fields in the Middle East, the East Texas oil field was a tiny witch. The key is that the Middle East is now a mess. Before oil was discovered, the Middle East did not show any reason to be valued by the British government. Li Mu only needs to pay a small price to buy large areas of land in the Middle East, which may be cheaper than buying Alaska in the United States.

Unfortunately, because of the bad relationship between the Junma Group and the British government, the British government would not engage in any form of transactions with the Junma Group. At this time, the British Empire was still very confident, with blood transfusions from colonies all over the world. The British government did not care about the profits of doing business with the Junma Group. Li Mu could buy the islands of the Bahamas because of the Cuban government. If Li Mu had made a move, the British government would probably rather watch the Bahamas rot and smelly than sell it to Li Mu inch of land.

"Okay, I accept your reason." Rockefeller finally stopped pestering this matter. Li Mu's last sentence worked. Rockefeller was the godfather of Will Jr., and even if Rockefeller was greedy, he would probably not be able to take the blame for his children's property.

"Don't worry John, keep your vigilance now. No company in the oil field surpasses Standard Oil, and I will not allow this to happen. Don't forget that I still have shares in Mobil Oil." Li Mu finally couldn't help but reveal some "disclosure". In another time and space, even after Standard Oil was forced to split, Standard Oil is still the largest oil company in the world.

"Hmph, you'd better remember your words." Rockefeller finally felt relieved. Except for Li Mu who didn't sell that piece of land to Rockefeller, Li Mu had nothing worthy of Rockefeller criticizing. A few years ago, the Dutch established an oil company in the Dutch East India. It was precisely because of the joint suppression of Li Mu and Rockefeller that the Dutch plan died. After that, Li Mu did not want to get involved in the East India oil field. Although Li Mu occupied a lot of shares, this attitude really gave Rockefeller a lot of confidence.

James Garfield finally ended his speech. At the initiative of James Garfield, everyone raised their glasses for victory, and the atmosphere reached its peak.

After the banquet, Arthur did not leave, but went to the pavilion in the artificial lake with Li Mu to have a drink. Here, Arthur was the real relaxation. After two glasses of wine, Arthur was a little drunk.

"Reim, you have to be careful of James. You have been too close to Grover during this period, and James is very worried." Arthur has always been very knowledgeable about Li Mu. Although Arthur is James Garfield's running mate, when it comes to relationships, James Garfield's status in Arthur's heart is not even as good as Li Mu's little finger.

"What are you worried about? Worry about me going to support the Democratic Party? Don't worry, if the Republican Party has always been like this, I think there will be a day." Li Mu did not hide anything in front of Arthur, and even did not hide the fact that the change of the party was changed. Li Mu believed that Arthur understood what he was talking about.

"Yes, I've always been like this, and I have a headache, but what can we do - I can't do anything, wait and see, even if the Democrats can't defeat the Republican Party, the Republican Party will die at their own hands." Arthur knew better than Li Mu how much the Republican Party has been rotten. If it weren't for the bonus of the Civil War, the Republican Party would have already lost the Presidential Palace.

It sounds incredible. As a senior Republican member and a vested stakeholder of the Republican rule, Arthur did not have much favoritism towards the Republican Party. Perhaps the Republican Party lost all its character in the Civil War. Since the Civil War, Republican presidents have hardly done a few things that make the whole country happy. Every time the Republican news appears on the headlines of newspapers, it is either corruption, inefficiency, or internal strife. Although there is malicious slander from the Democratic Party, there are also many facts. What is sad is that a lot of news is revealed by Republicans, which is the real thing that is not to die.

"Look, even we will think so, so what about other ordinary voters? Since the Republican Party is not doing well enough, why not try another Democratic president to come to power? Even if Time magazine is powerful, it is impossible to cleanse the Republican Party without limit." Li Mu knew that if there were no surprises, Grover Cleveland would come to power in four years. The "accident" here refers to Li Mu. If James Garfield was assassinated and Arthur became president, then four years later might be that as long as Li Mu went all out, Arthur would not be without a chance if he wanted to be re-elected.

The reason why Time magazine's sales remained ahead in all newspapers is because of Time magazine's relatively neutral political stance. Although everyone knows that Li Mu is the boss of Time magazine and that everyone knows that Time magazine has distinct Democratic attributes, the ones appearing on the front page of Time magazine are not all praises to the Republican Party. Whenever the Republican Party breaks out negative news, Time magazine will also report it, and editors will also swear. However, compared with newspapers that support the Democratic Party, Time magazine will also give some solutions while scolding it. These solutions are often very operational, which makes Time magazine look particularly unique.

No one can tell the future. If Arthur wants to be re-elected four years later, then Li Mu will definitely provide help to Arthur. Whether Arthur comes to power or Grover Cleveland comes to power, it actually has no impact on Li Mu. After all, Li Mu’s management for so many years is not for nothing. No matter who is president, he has to give Li Mu enough rewards.

"After these four years, I will retire in four years. Then I will travel around the world and love whoever I love at that time." Arthur was also discouraged. He had mentioned to Li Mu more than once the dream of traveling around the world. In this regard, Arthur had more advantages than Ulysses Grant. At least Arthur did not need to worry about money.

"Go, go, I'll give you a state-of-the-art yacht then, maybe I'll go with you then." Li Mu also wanted to travel around the world, but this does not show that Li Mu has too many enemies. If he leaves the United States, he might be shot at a black gun at any time.

After seeing off Arthur, Li Mu sat alone in the pavilion for a long time before going to rest. When Arthur talked about James Garfield, Li Mu deliberately changed the subject. Arthur did not notice it, but Li Mu kept it in his heart. James Garfield was not a person with open mind. Even Arthur reminded Li Mu to be careful of James Garfield, so Li Mu really had to make some preparations to avoid being caught off guard.

"If the President targets you after he comes to power, then the most direct response is to launch an impeachment of the president. However, this impeachment depends on the timing. If it was not easy to launch an impeachment of James Garfield in the first two years before James Garfield was elected president, it was not easy to launch an impeachment of James Garfield two years before James Garfield was elected president. However, the next two years were relatively simple. It would be fine to find any reason. Even if the impeachment was not passed, it would be fine. Just let James Garfield not pay attention to us-"Stu Lei, who gave advice to Li Mu, did not believe in any Americans in this matter, and Situ Lei became Li Mu's best choice. As for Chu Wushuang, he is more suitable to be an executor: "In addition to impeachment, if time is tight, some violent means can be taken. This is not our first idea. President Lincoln also died at the gun of the Americans. We have many ways to create an accidental event."

Situ Lei's methods are still vicious enough. If the impeachment fails, then he might as well kill James Garfield, which is more straightforward and more thorough.

After hearing Situ Lei's words, Li Mu was a little dazed. He had been in this world for a long time. Li Mu could not remember very clearly why James Garfield was assassinated. Could it be that in this time and space, he would kill James Garfield with his own hands?
