Although Li Mu is unwilling to accept it, at the level of Li Mu, he still has to accept the reality that fewer and fewer friends. Many people say that friends do not matter whether they have high or low points or low points. In fact, most of the time, they are wishful thinking. Two people with huge social status, even if they were friends, their feelings will gradually fade over time. If people who do not accept this are not heartless, they are basically ulterior motives.

Li Mu has very few friends now. Rockefeller is one of the few people who can chat with Li Mu and keep up with Li Mu's footsteps. Li Mu doesn't want to gradually get distant from Rockefeller because of some things, so there are still necessary explanations.

"I can understand that we will all have to do it for some reason, but--" Rockefeller did not continue to say it. It was obvious that he still had an objection to Li Mu's approach. Although Li Mu did not admit it, Li Mu's attitude had already told Rockefeller the answer.

The fact that murdering the president is a bit outrageous. Even if Rockefeller is bold and arrogant, he will not be able to accept this kind of thing for a while. This is not treasure hunting or business competition for peers. Western society also has a tradition of "staying at the front line and meeting each other well in the future". Li Mu's way of playing with the game of turning over the table at any time still makes Rockefeller unacceptable.

Of course, the "unacceptable" here is only temporary. James Garfield is not targeting Rockefeller. If James Garfield wants to attack Rockefeller's standard oil, then Rockefeller will also fight back. Maybe he will do this, which is even more thorough than Li Mu.

"There's nothing, but if James was willing to talk to me at the beginning, then maybe nothing would have happened. Do you still remember the time I was on Governor's Island? That was our last chance to reconcile." Li Mu gave James Garfield a chance, but James Garfield did not give Li Mu any explanation, so the breakup between Li Mu and James Garfield was also destined.

"Asiah Hodge?" Rockefeller finally remembered the time when Li Mu stayed in the Governor's Island before the election began. At that time, Rockefeller knew that Li Mu had any objections to James Garfield, and even Rockefeller went to Garfield to find Li Mu. Unfortunately, Rockefeller did not expect that the disagreement between Li Mu and James Garfield was so great that it was to end it with life and death.

"Asiah Hodge is the fuse. If Asiah Hodge hadn't been provoking James repeatedly, our relationship would probably have deteriorated to this level." Li Mu did not say that Asiah Hodge's death was an accident. Even if Li Mu said so, Rockefeller might not have believed it, so it would be better to just go.

In fact, it was a coincidence to think about it. If Ayia Hodge was not dead at that time, if James Garfield did not hold a grudge, if-

In fact, there are not so many things that are like this. James Garfield cannot accept it, but if the same thing is on Arthur, Arthur will come to Li Mu directly to explain it. To put it bluntly, the relationship is still different.

It was true. As soon as it got dark, Arthur came to Li Mu's house and brought an investigation report on the assassination of James Garfield by the Washington Police Department.

This investigation report is obviously very different from the one released by the Washington Police Department. Of course, the report did not directly point to Li Mu, but only raised several unexplainable doubts, such as why Charles Gateo would grasp the whereabouts of James Gateo, and how Charles Gateo maintained his life during this period in Washington. The Washington Police Department even noticed that after James Gateo was assassinated, several policemen of the Washington Police Department resigned at the same time and left the United States and Europe. If these things were separated, there seemed to be no connection, but if these things were linked, the direction was very obvious. At least this can fully demonstrate that James Gateo's assassination was not as simple as it seemed.

"Is this kind of investigation report useful? Just find an editor of Time magazine and you can get several copies for you." Li Mu didn't care much. Arthur's attitude was already shown by Arthur's attitude.

"It's really useless, so the Washington Police Department has stopped investigating and no one wants to know the answer." Arthur smiled bitterly, feeling a little sad and desolate.

It is enough to investigate to this extent. It is impossible to continue to investigate. No one wants to know the final answer. On the surface, it seems that the assassination of James Garfield was Charles Giteo's personal behavior. Maybe this is not the truth of the matter, but this is the truth that everyone is willing to accept. This is enough. If the Washington Police Department finds out other problems, it may be that no one wants to see it.

"Can I do something for you? Can you make a special bulletproof sedan for you?" Li Mu didn't want to see any psychological shadows in Arthur. Although the Presidential Palace has once again strengthened its security for the president, Arthur's concerns are inevitable.

In fact, it is useless to strengthen security. In the future, the US president will experience various assassinations, some of which have been successful, and some have not been successful. It cannot be said that the bodyguards do not do their best, but they are just unable to defend themselves. They only have a thousand days to be thieves, but there is no reason to guard against thieves for thousands of days.

"Haha, then you have to give me a few more." Arthur would not be sad, and his sadness disappeared in a short while.

"How did it feel to be president on the first day? Do you feel special when you control such a big country?" Rockefeller was still a little curious about Arthur's work. When Hayes was president, he was busy every day. It seemed that Arthur was quite relaxed. When Hayes was president on the first day, he didn't have time to drink coffee with Li Mu.

"What a pity, there is nothing to feel. It's more appropriate to ask James about this question. He is the real control of this country." Arthur followed Li Mu's advice and was lazy when it was time to be lazy, throwing all his work to the new Secretary of State James Brian. It is estimated that James Brian should feel more touched now.

"Hahaha, that's right. There are many things you don't need to do by yourself. Look at me and John. In fact, there are so many jobs in managing companies like Junma Group and Standard Oil. We are not all very easy." Li Mu's plan finally succeeded. Those who work hard to control others, those who work hard to become president, and then spend all their time on governing the country. No matter how you look at it, it is not something that smart people do.

In fact, Rockefeller was also a person who did it himself. It was only after meeting Li Mu that Rockefeller gradually got rid of the heavy management work. How to choose such a thing is actually just a matter of thought. People with strong desire for power control probably will not fake their work. Li Mu and Rockefeller don’t have to worry. Whether in the military industry or the oil field, there are no competitors in the United States, and Standard Oil. If this is the case, the general manager appointed by Li Mu and Rockefeller still cannot guarantee the healthy operation of Junma Group and Standard Oil, then Li Mu and Rockefeller can only blame Li Mu and Rockefeller for being blind.

We should not underestimate other elites of this era. Henry is a good example. If it weren't for Li Mu, perhaps Henry still ran his half-dead law firm in Springfield, he might not have been able to demonstrate his management ability in his life, and naturally he would not have been known to the public.

Henry is now famous all over the world, and his power in the Junma Group is second only to Li Mu. Li Mu manages the Junma Group through Henry, and Henry also does not do everything personally. There are so many senior executives in the Junma Group that are not in vain. After the power is decomposed layer by layer, everyone performs their own duties. This is the structure of modern society.

"If you want to be lazy, just be lazy. No one blames you, but don't say so righteously, can you do it?" Rockefeller looked down on the duo of praising each other, although Rockefeller often does this.

"Talk about the serious business of Chester. John and I hope to build more roads to make transportation more convenient. Although states are working hard, the effort is not enough. If possible, we hope Washington can do something. Believe me, if you want to see a significant economic growth, focus on developing transportation. Doing this well, I can guarantee that you will not leave the Presidential Palace as miserably as Hayes." Li Mu openly carried private goods, and if you want to be rich, it is a proven truth, and it is also applicable to the United States in the 19th century.

The traffic conditions in the United States are already very good. The large-scale use of asphalt and the increasing number of high-quality roads have greatly strengthened the connections between various places and effectively promoted the circulation of goods, which is beneficial to federal governments at all levels.

Of course, it is more beneficial to Li Mu and Rockefeller. With more roads, there will naturally be more demand for cars. In the future, the United States will be a country on the wheels of cars. The number of cars in the United States is the world's largest. Now the number of cars in the United States does not even have one ten thousand in the future, so the development potential is great. Now the only automobile company in the United States is Junma Automobile, and the only oil company is Mobil Oil. Li Mu and Rockefeller cannot build roads by themselves, so they can only hand over this work to Arthur to complete.

In fact, it is not impossible. Li Mu and Rockefeller discussed this issue. If they use the method of building roads first and then collecting tolls, Li Mu and Rockefeller are not unacceptable. After all, in the future, the total mileage of the world's largest expressway in the Republic in the future will be like this.

But there is a problem here. In the future, the growth of automobiles will be almost explosive. With enough cars available for charging, the recycling cost will be shorter and more profitable. The situation in the United States is not very good now. The total number of cars in the country is less than 20,000. If you want to recycle the cost of road construction, it is best to prepare for ten years or even decades.

"It's hard to sell cars? It probably won't?" Arthur's first reaction was that the cars produced by Junma Automobile Company could not be sold, so Li Mu encouraged Arthur to build roads.

This is unlikely. Before participating in the presidential election, Arthur was the governor of New York and knew how much tax Junma Automobile had to pay every year. Judging from the tax statement, Junma Automobile's operating conditions are fine and its profitability is outstanding. There are only a few companies in New York that have better profitability than Junma Automobile, and most of them are subsidiaries of Junma Group, so Arthur was not worried about this problem.

"On the contrary, the supply of cars produced by Junma Automobile Company is in short supply. The current production plan has reached the end of the year. It is precisely because cars are easy to sell that I suggest that more roads be built. We can all discover the prospects of the automobile industry, which will become the source of driving force for national economic growth. If we add more efforts, the prospects brought by the automobile industry will be realized soon. Why not?" Li Mu is not worried that cars cannot be sold. Although there are also people studying cars outside of Junma Automobile Company, Li Mu believes that in a short period of time, no one should pose a threat to Junma Automobile Company. After all, Junma Automobile Company has Junma Laboratory as a backing, and personal scientific research behaviors cannot compete with scientific research institutions.

In fact, Li Mu and Rockefeller have differences on this point. Although Rockefeller also has shares in Junma Automobile, Rockefeller is still very dissatisfied with Li Mu's monopoly on the automobile industry. If Junma Automobile now opens up technology, countless additional automobile companies will emerge in the United States in a short period of time, which will greatly stimulate the development of Mobil Oil, and will also stimulate Li Mu to increase production and continue to expand.

Li Mu also knew Rockefeller's dissatisfaction, but it was impossible to let Li Mu open up the patented automobile technology. Li Mu did not forget how much effort he had put into acquiring the Vanderbilt Automobile Factory. Rockefeller hoped that the development of the automobile industry could be done by relying on Junma Automobile Company, and there was no need to cultivate competitors.

Li Mu did this. Junma Automobile currently has two factories in New York and San Francisco. Both factories are produced at full capacity, but they still cannot meet the demand of the automobile market. In order to increase production, Li Mu invested in the construction of a new engine factory and two new automobile factories last year, which will be put into production in June this year. By then, the production of automobiles will be further improved. Although it still cannot meet the demand of the automobile market, it is much higher than the current production capacity.

"Yes, you go to find James tomorrow, and James will be responsible for the specific problems." Arthur has learned to be lazy, and it is most appropriate for James to take the blame.
