421 Cruelty

Regardless of whether William Evac likes Li Mu and the Junma Group or not, when facing the Japanese, William Evac can only choose to stand on the side of Li Mu and the Junma Group, which has nothing to do with personal tendencies, only with positions.

Although Li Mu is of Chinese descent and the Junma Group is a company founded by Chinese, Li Mu is an American citizen after all, and the Junma Group paid taxes close to 10 million US dollars last year, and the standard oil of the Rockefeller family is not as much as the taxes paid by the Junma Group, so William Evacs must stand on the position of the Junma Group and seek justice for Li Mu.

"The Japanese government has never done anything detrimental to the interests of the Shoma Group, there must be a misunderstanding between this, please give me a chance, I will explain it to Mr. Riem personally." Watanabe Shin flatly denied it, but he had to bow his head in the face of this situation, and the Americans had no mercy in this regard, and they had to get up from where they fell.

"You know if you have done it, and there is no point in saying that now, and as for Mr. Ream, if you want to see him, please trouble you to go to Castle Clinton." William Evac has a domineering style and does not give Watanabe a chance to explain at all, saying that you have it if you have it, and you don't have it.

Twenty years ago, it was General Matthew Perry of the United States who opened Japan's door with naval artillery through the "Black Ship Incident," and the United States was the first Western country that Japan came into contact with, so the United States is of great significance to Japan, the United States is a window for Japan to integrate into Western society, the United States is powerful in Japan, and the Japanese government wants to do something to hide from the United States.

Leaving the Organizing Committee of the Centennial Exhibition of Independence, Watanabe is confident, and the Junma Group's retaliation will definitely be more than that, and there will be other means in the future, and the Japanese Embassy and Consulates in New York estimate that it will be difficult for a long time to come.

Although he knew that asking to see Li Mu would be humiliated, Watanabe Shin still had to bite the bullet.

Castle Clinton is still bustling, the overall work of Battery Park has been completed, compared to the historical Battery Park, the current Battery Park is larger, in addition to the grass and gardens, there is also a small area of forest, the four buildings built by the Horse Group are the landmark buildings of Battery Park, compared to these four buildings, the quaint Castle Clinton is dwarfed.

Before Castle Clinton, there was an exhibition area made up of real artillery, which were real people, moved from the other three demolished castles, and three buildings were built on the original site of the three castles, belonging to the Rockefeller family, the Morgan family, and the Carnegie Steel Group, and these three buildings were zigzag divisions, and the center was the Horse Building, which was the headquarters of the Horse Group.

Li Mu originally wanted to use a glass plank road between the four buildings to connect them, but due to the technical level at this time, this could not be done, so he could only put it on hold for the time being.

Even so, the four towers are known as the "Four Brothers of Battery" and have been Manhattan's landmarks since day one.

Looking at the imposing statue of the horse at the top of the Horse Building, Nobu Watanabe shook his head and sighed, for the sake of a smokeless gunpowder, offending a behemoth like the Horse Group, it is not clear whether this is good or bad for the Great Japanese Empire, only from the current point of view, there is almost no benefit.

Japan's national strength is still not strong enough, the United States did not have a standing army at all, Japan is not much better than the United States, who can imagine a "big country" with a population of tens of millions, the standing army is only a mere 7,000 guards, not even the size of a division, the Admiralty is still chattering all day long, insisting that under the protection of the Imperial Navy, Gyeonggi does not need an army at all, and it is better to buy two more warships to the navy than to have the money to equip the Guards.

It costs money to equip the Guards, it costs money to buy warships for the navy, and it costs money to import foreign technology and industrial raw materials, but the Japanese government has no money, the emperor is poor and only eats one meal a day, and the government departments are bent on tightening their belts to get by, and the four words "Meiji Restoration" are shouted loudly, but behind the scenes, it is up to Japanese women to sell their bodies in exchange for financial support, and this situation really confirms the old saying - people are poor and short-minded.

Watanabe Shin knows Li Mu's temperament, from Li Mu's consistent behavior analysis, Li Mu does not have much affection for the Qing Empire, otherwise Li Mu will not leave the Qing Empire and join the United States, the Japanese government has not considered directly taking money to buy the technology of the Junma Group, the problem is not whether you want to buy it, but whether you have money to buy, the Japanese government is not as rich as the Qing Empire, the Qing Empire spent enough money for the "national funeral" some time ago for the Japanese government to run for more than two years, look at the stock price of the rose company, Even if the palace is packaged and sold to the Junma Group, it may not be able to afford it.

Therefore, the reason why the Japanese government is treacherous is also forced to go to Liangshan.

Of course, this statement only exists in Watanabe Shin's understanding, and as for whether Li Mu also understands, Watanabe Shin can't interfere.

Li Mu really didn't have time to deal with Watanabe Shin, the New Haven District Court formally ruled that Oliver Winchester was bankrupt three days ago, and the shares of Winchester held by Oliver Winchester were judged by the New Haven District Court to repay the debts of the Junma Group, this is the cruelty of capital operation, Oliver Winchester spent one million in order to acquire the shares in Michael's hands, and now after bankruptcy, all the shares in his hands are only worth one million, and they are cheaper than the Junma Group.

Oliver Winchester could not accept this result, and after being ruled bankrupt by the court, Oliver Winchester automatically disqualified himself from the Senate and walked out of the New Haven District Court, where Oliver Winchester committed suicide while drinking in his BMW.

Ironically, the car in which Oliver Winchester committed suicide was a product of the Horse Group, and the pistol he used was also a "Python" craft pistol produced by the Horse Arms Factory.

The Winchester factory has never been known for producing pistols, so although Oliver Winchester is also an arms dealer, the pistols he uses are also made by the Horse Arms Factory.

No one cares about Oliver Winchester's death, this guy was divorced a long time ago, his wife is in another city with their children, the workers in the Winchester factory can't wait to enjoy the benefits of the Stallion Group, Oliver Winchester's friends are busy running for a new senator, so Oliver Winchester died quietly.

Li Mu was originally going to send Cao Anran to take over the Winchester Company, but Zhang Leye insisted on going in person.

Li Mu agreed to Zhang Leye's request and asked Ford Benjamin to accompany the security personnel of the Springfield Security Company to ensure that the acceptance process was not disturbed in any way.

"The name Winchester will cease to exist in the future, New Haven will become the new name of the Winchester factory, after you go, you must do a good job of pacifying the employees, try to keep the workers as much as possible, our negotiations with Krupp are about to end, we will set up an artillery factory in the future, and the factory will be placed in New Haven." So far, only Colt has been the only one of the larger arms companies in the United States that has not been absorbed by the Horse Arms Company, and this day will not be too far away.

The larger arms companies in the United States are the Horse Arms Company, Springfield, Winchester, and Colt, and there are many small arms companies, such as Smith Wesson, and Remington, these factories are now very small, and the annual output is insignificant, and there is no threat to the horses, so Li Mu is still not eye-catching.

In 1855, Samuel Colt, the founder of the Colt Company, established the Colt Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company in Hartford, Connecticut, and issued 10,000 shares, of which he himself held the majority of the shares, and in 1862, when Samuel Colt died, these shares were transferred to Samuel Colt's wife.

Li Mu tried to buy Colt's shares from Samuel Colt's wife, but Mrs. Colt refused.

After the setback of the acquisition of Colt, Li Mu began to suppress Colt in all directions, Colt's fist products are pistols and machine guns, among which the best-selling pistol is the first gun Li Mu ever owned - 1873 single-handedly robbed, and the machine gun is the famous Gatling, these two guns have been declining in sales in the past two years under the suppression of the "Python" and "Heavy Rain" of the Horse Weapons Factory.

Mrs. Colt was not crushed, and after a difficult situation in the sale of small arms, Colt regained the mine business and reached a deal with the U.S. Navy to find a new point of profit.

This new profit point is not safe, the Horse Weapons Company is negotiating with Krupp, once the negotiations are completed, the Horse Weapons Factory will set up an artillery factory, and then the Horse Weapons Factory will produce all weapons, including mines, Li Mu is very curious to know how Colt will respond to the aggressive offensive of the Horse Weapons Company.

"Most of the workers in Winchester are white, and they are used to Winchester's management style, and now let them adapt to our Junma Group, they may not be able to adapt to it, so-" Zhang Leye is a little radical now, listen to Zhang Leye's meaning, this is to give Winchester a big change.

The welfare of the Junma Group is indeed very good, but at the same time, the Junma Group has very high requirements for employees, and the high welfare is based on high efficiency.

"Don't worry, anyway, if New Haven is converted into an artillery factory, the workers over there will still have to be trained, so this problem will be put aside for now." Li Mu thinks more than Zhang Leye, and if he wants to keep those white workers, he naturally has a reason to keep it.
