089 Fusion

From helping Zhang Leye's family to helping Zhang Leye move, to the promise of the future, Li Mu was also determined to attract Zhang Leye.

Not everyone understood Li Mu's arrangement, so Will was quite worried. On the way back to Hepan Town at night, Will reminded Li Mu in a relatively obscure way: "From your spending speed, your tens of thousands of dollars are not enough for you to struggle."

Li Mu's "early wealthy overnight" surprised Will, but after such a long time of getting along, Li Mu's spending money also surprised Will. What Will know is that Li Mu has spent more than 24,000 US dollars during this period. This number may not be much, but if you consider the price level at this time, you can understand what this concept is. If inflation is not considered, this money can pay for the living expenses of a middle-class family for fifty years.

"What is money used for? It only means spending it. You will not give up a baby in the cold safe in the bank. If a rich man is still very rich until he dies, it is a shameful thing." Li Mu stole Carnegie's famous quote.

Of course, it will not take Carnegie to have this idea until at least 1900 and take action. Now Carnegie is like Li Mu, and she can do anything to make money.

Li Mu's words were actually reminding Will. As for Li Mu's observation of Will, Will's gray income is still a lot, but judging from the fact that Will is reluctant to buy a carriage, Will's daily life is still very frugal, and Will is obviously not good at managing finances. Will's gray income is actually "black money". He doesn't dare to save interest in the bank, so he can only rent a safe in the bank to save money. In Li Mu's opinion, this is a very stupid approach.

"I have my arrangements, and you don't need to remind me." Will reacted quickly and immediately realized that Li Mu was fighting back.

"Actually, you can consider investing in my factory, so that at least it can make them look legitimate." Li Mu wanted to attract sponsorship for himself and help Will launder money.

"And! You have now proved that you are a good gunman, and maybe an inventor with a little success, but you have not proved that you are a good businessman and a good factory owner. With your bad character, I don't think you can manage a good factory." Will had some positive comments on Li Mu, but overall he did not have full trust.

"Okay, in two years, you will realize what you have missed. Don't blame me for not reminding you now." Li Mu did not force it, everyone has their own ambitions.

"Wait until you achieve your achievements first before saying this." Will still appreciate Li Mu's ostentatious character, otherwise he would not leave his job and accompany Li Mu around.

After arriving home, Yan's mother prepared supper as usual, waiting for Li Mu and the others to come back.

If we say that America is rich in products these days, there has never been a shortage of chicken, fish, meat and eggs. The meat is still good for the best bison meat. Will is not too rare to eat the artificially raised beef cattle on the market. Li Mu and Yan's family have benefited from it. Although Li Mu is a local rich man, Will still has principles. Will still pay for the daily consumption of the family and prevent Li Mu from paying for it.

Yan's mother's craftsmanship has conquered Will's stomach. In recent times, even when he works in Springfield during the day, Will has to rush home for lunch. In Will's words, even the best restaurant chef in Springfield is still "unswallowing" compared to Yan's mother.

This is normal. Yan's mother is the chef of the royal family. Her skills are originally selected from a hundred. When she gets here, there is no restriction on ingredients. She does whatever she wants to eat and is in a happy mood, so the food she makes is naturally thoughtful.

The dinner was very hearty, and the stewed salmon and potato beef were particularly popular, and Will and Li Mu ate it endlessly.

After dinner, Li Mu took a can of potato beef to Henry's house to learn French. Chuxue and Yan Hu and Yan Shun were also there.

If you want to live in the United States, you must break through the language barrier. Yan Hu and Yan Shun's English have made great progress now. You can understand simple words and sentences. You can barely communicate with Will in a stuttering way. The context is indeed very important.

Henry was not at home and went to Pittsburgh to negotiate a contract with Carnegie. Carnegie finally agreed to Li Mu's request and exchanged Li Mu's patent authorization with part of the shares. Carnegie wanted to take out five percent of the shares, which obviously did not achieve Li Mu's goal. Li Mu wanted to get fifteen percent, preferably twenty percent. For this reason, Li Mu would rather compensate part of the funds. Henry went to Pittsburgh to negotiate with Carnegie to fight for greater benefits for Li Mu.

If you have any merits, you have to reward him. Henry went to Pittsburgh. In addition to reimbursing all the daily expenses, Li Mu also paid an additional five dollars in business trip subsidy every day. The standard of this subsidy is already very high, and Henry is very satisfied with it.

As funds are being transferred back and forth more and more frequently, Li Mu now needs a private accountant. In fact, Mrs. Henry is a good candidate. Henry is a descendant of a noble family. Mrs. Henry is also from a famous family. Although her family is in decline, she has received this education since childhood, so it is still okay to keep an account or something.

However, as Henry has already served as Li Mu's private lawyer, Mrs. Henry is not suitable to serve as Li Mu's private accountant anymore, so Li Mu is now asking Chuxue to learn accounting knowledge with Mrs. Henry. Compared with Mrs. Henry, Li Mu obviously trusts Chuxue more.

Strictly speaking, Li Mu is also the benefactor of Henry's family. If Li Mu had not provided timely assistance in time, Henry's family would probably still live in trouble.

The situation is much better now. After Henry returned from New York, he customized a new set of clothes for the whole family, which made Mrs. Henry and the children very happy. In addition, Li Mu never comes to Henry's house empty-handed, and learning languages ​​is also an extra fee, so Henry's family is very welcome.

The same was true this time. Seeing Li Mu carrying a can of roast beef with potatoes, Mrs. Henry smiled and had not had time to thank him. Henry's eldest son Henry II rushed over with a cheer, shouting "Thank you Brother Mu" in Chinese, and then couldn't wait to open it, preparing to enjoy Russian national food.

That's right, while Mrs. Henry taught Li Mu to learn French and Spanish, Li Mu would teach Henry's three children to learn Chinese when he had time, which made Mrs. Henry often joke that she would pay Li Mu.

Of course, it was just a joke. Even if you had to pay, it would definitely not be as much as Li Mu paid Mrs. Henry.
