817 Unlucky

Li Mu did not know how many gold artifacts were found from the bottom of the lake after the British drained the lake in 1914, and the drilling team only worked for three days, although the lake was not emptied, more than 2,000 pieces of gold or gold ingots, and more than 300 pieces of jewelry and jade were found from the bottom of the lake.

It seems that the rumors are indeed true, the traditional coronation ceremony held by the Inca Empire, the heir to the throne is painted with gold dust all over his body, and then swims in the lake, after the gold dust is washed off, his subjects have offered gold, jade, piled at his feet, the new king will throw all the gold jewelry into the lake as a sacrifice to the gods, this traditional ceremony has been held countless times, you can imagine how much gold and jewels are at the bottom of Lake Guatavia.

"We have to strengthen our drilling team, in the last month, four expeditions have broken into Lake Guatavia, which gives us reason to believe that perhaps someone has already become suspicious of our treasure hunt, we have to send more mercenaries to Colombia, and at the same time we have to bring back the gold and jewelry that have been found from Colombia, where there are no roads now, and we have to carry them through the rainforest on our shoulders, and the security teams we have sent before can only maintain the safety of Lake Guadavia, There is simply no ability to send back the gold and gems that have been discovered, and as time goes on, more and more gems of gold will be discovered, which will not only attract more explorers, but also attract the attention of the Colombian government, and if we don't want to start a war against the Colombian government, then we have to make a decision as soon as possible. As soon as he got the report, Rockefeller rushed to Li Mu's office in Fort Park. P. Morgan.

"You're saying the news has leaked? Then maybe now the Colombian government already knows. ”J· P. Morgan was very unhappy, no one wanted to have an accident when receiving the goods, and now it was just the beginning, and more than 2,000 pieces of gold and more than 300 pieces of jewelry had been discovered. P. Morgan couldn't keep his cool either.

"The Colombian government should not know yet, from the current point of view, even if the news leaks, then the other party also maintains a certain tacit understanding with us, if the Colombian government knows the news of the treasure, then the Colombian government should not only send officials, but also the army." Li Mu didn't believe that the Colombian government reacted so quickly, and the British even drained the water in Lake Guadavia in 1914 for the sake of treasure, but Colombia did not block Lake Guadavia until 1974, so even if the Colombian government knew that Lake Guadavia had treasures, with the current strength of Colombia, what the Colombian government could do was extremely limited.

The news is indeed likely to leak, the legend of the Golden City and the Golden Lake has been circulating in the white world for hundreds of years, and countless people go to the South American rainforest every year to try their luck, although many people are silently killed by the tropical rainforest, but the legend of the Golden City and the Golden Lake still attracts a steady stream of people, although Li Mu and Rockefeller act secretly, but after all, it is a big tree, and it is possible for the news to leak, Li Mu and Rockefeller sent nearly 1,000 people to Colombia in order to form a drilling team, With such a big move, it is impossible to hide it from everyone, don't forget how many people are staring at Li Mu and Rockefeller.

The importance of Junma Group and Standard Oil in the U.S. economy is undoubted, many people are staring at Li Mu and Rockefeller in order to keep up with the pace of Junma Group and Standard Oil, even if Li Mu and Rockefeller eat meat, they can drink some soup.

"What we have to do now is not to track down the leaks, but to find more gold and jewelry, and to bring back the gold and jewelry that have been found from Colombia." Rockefeller was depressed, and Li Mu and J· P. Morgan is also sometimes very unreliable, and he can't distinguish between priorities and priorities.

"Uh, yes, yes, how to get the gold and jewelry back from Colombia — it's very simple, send a telegram to the Panamanian company and ask the Panamanian company to send someone into Colombia to pick it up." Li Mu immediately thought of a way, didn't he just need more mercenaries, Li Mu had a lot of subordinates.

"Isn't this feasible, will the Colombian government allow mercenaries to enter Colombia?" J· P. Morgan is still too honest, or rather, J. Morgan is still too honest. P. Morgan was very unaccustomed to the way Li Mu and Rockefeller handled it.

"Piper, in addition to entering Colombia normally, there is another way to enter Colombia called smuggling." Rockefeller is not like J. J. P. Morgan is so rule-abiding, and he is most afraid of breaking the rules when he engages in finance, and people who engage in business are not so taboo.

"Let's divide the work, Piper, you are responsible for getting the Colombian government and trying to see if you can buy Lake Guatavia, Reem, you are responsible for organizing people to reinforce Lake Guatavia, and then bring back the gold and gems you find, and then I will take care of it." Rockefeller found himself the easiest job.

"Why are you in charge? In the Caribbean, can you say it's more convenient than me and Piper? Li Mu looked down on Rockefeller's power in the Caribbean. P. Morgan co-founded the Santiago Investment Company, and the home of the Santiago Investment Company is in Cuba, so Li Mu has enough qualifications to despise Rockefeller.

"Come on Ream, I know you and Piper have a lot of influence in the Caribbean, but it's up to me to get the gold and gems to customs in the open." Rockefeller also has confidence, he specializes in the art industry, Standard Oil has a lot of ocean freight needs, and Rockefeller even has a fleet in his hands, and it is not too simple to transport something.

Li Mu pouted noncommittally, as if no one would smuggle. P. Morgan doesn't care, anyway, J. Morgan As long as P. Morgan does not have anything to do with violence, as for Li Mu and Rockefeller, J. Morgan is fine. P. Morgan had no hope of influencing them.

In fact, this is not absolute, such as J· P. Morgan also has a stake in the Panamanian company, and he wants to forcibly sell J. Morgan. It's not impossible that P. Morgan and Panama are involved, but J. Morgan is not out of the question. P. Morgan's investment in the Panamanian company was only an investment, and he was never involved in the operation of the Panamanian company. P. Morgan is indeed worthy of being called an "angel investor".

Since there are no opinions, then it is so decided, Li Mu called Chu Wushuang by the way when he ruled Ford Benjamin to transfer people, there are not many people who have the strength to organize an expedition team to South America these years, Chu Wushuang now controls almost the entire underground forces in New York, as long as there is wind and grass, Chu Wushuang should be the first to receive the news.

Ford Benjamin is still very reliable, after receiving Li Mu's telegram, Ford Benjamin personally dispatched nearly 300 elite mercenaries to smuggle ashore from the port of Nuki on the west coast of Colombia in batches to provide support to Lake Guatavia.

The news of the Indian treasure is so fascinating that even Ford Benjamin couldn't bear it, and personally went to Colombia to lead the operation, and when landing from Nuki, Ford Benjamin was unexpectedly attacked by unknown gunmen, although the gunman was killed on the spot, Ford Benjamin was also wounded in the battle, and was arrested by the Colombian government forces who rushed to hear the news.

"Arrest—how did this happen?" Li Mu couldn't believe it after getting the news, Ford Benjamin is the general manager of the Panama company, and is fully responsible for the safety of the construction team sent by the canal company to Panama, and at the same time, Ford Benjamin also remotely controls the Bahamas company, which can be described as a high authority, Li Mu is not worried about Ford Benjamin's injury, nor is he worried about whether Ford Benjamin will be punished by the Colombian government, but if it affects the excavation of the Panama Canal and the stability of the Bahamas, then even Li Mu will not be able to keep Ford Benjamin.

"Ford is on the Colombian government's wanted list, and he is the second most wanted person by the Colombian government, and this time Ford is careless—" Mason tried to defend Ford Benjamin, but it didn't seem to have much effect, and Li Mu became even more angry after hearing it.

"What a stupid pig! What's there to see at the treasure hunt site? He loves gold and precious stones, doesn't he? Let him go to his cell in Bogotá to reminisce. Li Mu hated that iron could not be made of steel, but he was not worried about the safety of Ford Benjamin.

Just kidding, don't look at Ford Benjamin as the second most wanted criminal of the Colombian government, Li Mu can be sure that the Colombian government does not dare to do anything to Ford Benjamin, the reason is very simple, Ford Benjamin is an American, with the strength of the United States in the Americas, even if Ford Benjamin violates Colombian law, then the United States has the right to demand that Ford Benjamin be extradited back to the United States for trial, Li Mu has already called Washington, and the Washington Department of Justice and the Justice have already begun to act. Benjamin did not die of illness in a cell in Bogotá, so it would not be long before Ford Benjamin returned to the United States.

Regarding Ford Benjamin's injury, Li Mu is not even worried about the Colombian government's manipulation, in fact, for the Colombian government, Ford Benjamin is a standard hot potato, you can't kill and kill, you can't let go, and you have to provide treatment for Ford Benjamin, which must be a loss-making business.

"Mike Zhang is thinking of a way, but if it doesn't work, he can send someone to Bogotá to rob the prison." Mason is the real powerless, he has always been able to do it without comparison.

Mike Zhang is Ford Benjamin's deputy, Ford Benjamin has an accident, of course Mike Zhang has to find a way, but Li Mu doesn't think that Mike Zhang's method will work, since Mason said so, then eighty percent of Mike Zhang has already begun to act.

"Where is Mike Chang now? He didn't go to Colombia, did he? Li Mu felt that the green tendons on his forehead were jumping again, Ford Benjamin was stupid enough, if Mike Zhang was also hopeless, then Li Mu had to consider whether the IQ of his group of mercenaries could reach the average.

"No, no, McChang is still in Panama City." Mason was taken aback by Li Mu's tone, Li Mu's scolding is not terrible, Mason is even happy to be scolded, that means that Li Mu did not treat Mason as an outsider, if Li Mu's tone is flat, then it often means that Li Mu has given up completely.

"Tell Mike Chang to leave Ford alone and take care of Lake Guadavia." Li Mu was a little relieved, Mike Zhang was Chu Wushuang's subordinate, fighting all the way from the streets to the top, such a person is definitely not stupid.

In fact, Ford Benjamin is not stupid, but the Panamanian company's actions in South America have always been too smooth, which makes Ford Benjamin lose his due vigilance.

It can be said that the Panama company defeated the Colombian government under the leadership of Ford Benjamin and won the independence of Panama, so it is conceivable how deep the Colombian government's hatred for Ford Benjamin is, Li Mu is not at ease enough with the Department of Justice and the justices, so he simply went directly to Ohio, and it is best for Hayes to come forward directly in this matter.

Hayes is currently on vacation in Ohio, Hayes himself is an Ohioan, before serving as the president of the United States, Hayes served three terms as governor of Ohio, Ohio belongs to the Great Lakes region, Li Mu's influence is not as good as Andrew Carnegie, but this matter does not need Andrew Carnegie to come forward, Li Mu alone is enough.

At his home in Fremont, Ohio, Hayes received Mu Lee.

"Panama Company - hehe, Reem, you're really going to give me trouble, I waited three months before I finally got a week's vacation, and I didn't expect the holiday to be ruined by you at the beginning." Hayes is also very helpless, Americans advocate that work is work, life is life, even the president needs to rest, Hayes is not bad, at least Hayes doesn't like to play golf, he won't go to golf during working hours, and then a scandal breaks out.

"I'm sorry Mr. President, I wouldn't want to if I could, but you won't let this happen if there are American citizens arrested by the Colombian government, and the interests of American companies are being violated." Li Mu can understand how much Hayes wants to escape from the presidential palace, but no, it is not yet time to leave office, even if he suffers no more, Hayes will stay in the presidency until the end of his term.

This is the sorrow of the president, or this is the sorrow of the president in peacetime, if it is in wartime, then the president has the power to declare the whole country into a state of war, at this time the president's power will increase significantly, so the presidents who can leave great achievements in American history, most of them are presidents in wartime, Hays's sadness is that although the United States during the Spanish-American War, Hayes also had the opportunity to go down in history, but it is a pity that the Spanish-American War ended too quickly, and Hayes has not had time to calculate that he has increased those powers, The Spanish-American War ended, so Hayes was very depressed, especially under the premise that it was completely hollowed out by Congress, Li Mu didn't even know if there was anyone in American history who was more unlucky than Hayes.
