But when I saw the new man laughing, I heard the old man crying.

The Horse Arms Company and the Springfield Arsenal are the best examples.

Prior to the establishment of the Horse Arms Company, the Springfield Arsenal was the largest arsenal in the United States.

Thanks to the demand for weapons during the Civil War, the Springfield Arsenal grew rapidly in the past few years, from a workshop-style factory to the largest arsenal in the United States, producing everything from pistols to rifles.

After the Civil War, like all arsenals, the Springfield Arsenal began to fall into trouble, losing the excitement of the war, poor sales of weapons, serious understarting, serious loss of workers, and a series of problems plagued the Springfield Arsenal.

Without the emergence of Li Mu and the Junma Arms Company, the Springfield Arsenal would have undergone a change of ownership this year, and then set up a research and development center for light weapons, and gradually recover with the support of the US government.

With the Horse Arms Company, the good days of the Springfield Arsenal have finally come to an end, the product performance of the Horse Weapons Company is better, the relationship between Li Mu and Grant, Bernap and others is also better, and the cooperation between the US government and the Horse Arms Company is more pleasant, so the Springfield Arsenal was abandoned by the US government and had to go to the verge of bankruptcy and bankruptcy.

From the standpoint of the U.S. government, they definitely don't want to see the Springfield Arsenal go bankrupt, so Arthur came to Li Mu and asked Li Mu if he had any idea of taking over the Springfield Arsenal.

"Take over the Springfield Arsenal – of course, if the price is right." Li Mu readily agreed, but did not say it to death.

Although it is on the verge of bankruptcy, the Springfield Arsenal still has strength, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, the Springfield Arsenal has thousands of qualified workers, this is a great wealth, of course the Horse Weapons Company can be cultivated, but it will take time, if you take over the Chuntian Arsenal now, the strength of the Horse Weapons Company will instantly increase to a level.

"In terms of price, you need to negotiate with the board of directors of Springfield, and Mr. President is just making sure that you are qualified to take over Springfield, and there is no guarantee that you will definitely get it." Arthur doesn't pack tickets, he just matchmaking.

It's already very good, at least when the opportunity arises, Ulysses can think of Li Mu.

"Okay, thank you, Arthur, I'll go back and talk to the board of directors in Springfield about the price." Li Mu knew Ulysses' position and didn't ask for too much.

From Ulysses' standpoint, it is not a question of who the Springfield Arsenal belongs to, as long as the Springfield Arsenal continues to exist, Li Mu is at the right time and did the right thing at the right time, which won the trust of Ulysses.

"The Stallion Group Acquires Springfield Arsenal - Tsk, that's big news, Reem, are you ready?" John Rockefeller's tone was frivolous, and his smile was not full of blessings.

After the merger of the Junma Weapons Factory and the Springfield Arsenal, the Junma Weapons Factory will be the largest arsenal in the United States, whether it is Colt or Winchester, it will be left far behind by the Junma Weapons Factory, the military industry is a special industry after all, considering Li Mu's Chinese identity, Li Mu will definitely become the target of public criticism at that time.

"Hehe, and Colt and Winchester, so it's not time to celebrate." Li Mu's ambition is big, when the Horse Arms Company annexed Colt and Winchester, when will Li Mu really rest assured.

"I support you Reem, if you need funds, don't be polite, the Morgan family will be your strongest backing." J· P. Morgan supports Li Mu's expansion, and it would be best if he brought the Morgan consortium to play together.

"I'm sure I'm not going to be polite when I need to." Li Mu is polite, in fact, Li Mu really has no financial pressure now, let alone annexing Springfield, even if Colt and Winchester are annexed together, Li Mu has enough strength.

Just three months ago, Bank of America was officially listed, with 20 percent owned by the Morgan consortium and 80 percent owned by the San Diego Investment Company, and Bank of America's reserves boasted an unprecedented $50 million, which is second to none in the entire Americas.

What to say about the banks in these years, it sounds like the name "bank" is full of lofty, but in fact it is completely different from the banks of the Celestial Empire, the banks in these years are private enterprises, especially for countries like the United States that advertise "democracy and freedom", it is not troublesome to set up a bank, as long as you obtain a license, opening a bank is almost as simple as opening a store.

Most banks do not have much reserve funds, and a million dollars is considered to be a good strength, and the main profit channel of banks is not deposits and loans, but foreign investment, so once a financial crisis occurs, as soon as there is a run, many banks will close their doors immediately.

Last month, the Bank of America opened branches in New York and London, and according to the plan of the Bank of America, within this year, the Bank of America will open branches in all major cities in Europe and the Americas with more than 100,000 people, and the Bank of America will become the largest bank in the world.

As the big boss of the Bank of America, Li Mu formulated the articles of association for the Bank of America to copy the Swiss banks in the 20th century, especially in terms of customer information, the Bank of America declared that it would never disclose any information about customers under any circumstances, and the current Swiss banks could not do this.

Swiss banks became famous only after the 20th century, and the current Switzerland has not been established for a long time, although it has declared itself a permanent neutral country, but the banking industry is not yet well-known.

"By the way, you know what? Tweed escaped from prison last week—" Arthur snapped up Tweed.

"Prison break?" Li Mu was surprised.

Tweed once escaped from prison in history, and Li Mu remembered that he seemed to have reminded Arthur, but looking at the expressions of Rockefeller and Morgan, this matter seemed to be true.

Although Tweed has fallen, after all, he has been in New York for ten years, although Arthur is now the mayor of New York, but when it comes to a solid foundation, Arthur cannot be compared with Tweed, you must know that there were 40,000 civil servants in New York who belonged to the Tweed group, and these people are still distributed in all aspects of New York, so Tweed's prison escape is normal, if Tweed has not moved, it is not normal.

"Yes, prison break, I remember your reminder, so I arranged to keep Tweed closely watched, but I didn't expect this guy to run away anyway." Arthur was very depressed, knowing that he should have sent Tweed to the gallows in the first place.

Tweed's case has not yet been tried clearly, and this cannot be said to be the inefficiency of the New York judiciary, after all, it is a case registered on the Ulysses side, and no one dares to slack off, and it can only be said that Tweed's case is a serious case, so the New York judicial organs do not dare to conclude the case hastily, and must always hear it clearly before reporting to Mr. President.

"Escape from prison, find him, and put him in again." Li Mu is not very worried, Tweed, who is the mayor of New York, is indeed a high power, and the current Tweed is a hair loss phoenix is not as good as a chicken, even if he escapes from prison, Tweed who has no power and no money cannot pose any threat to Li Mu, as long as Tweed dares to show his head, Li Mu will definitely make Tweed worse than dead.

"I've issued a wanted warrant, but there's no news, it's like this guy has disappeared." Arthur was depressed, this matter was not done, Arthur would definitely lose points on Ulysses' side.

"It is estimated that this guy is no longer in the United States, so it is useless to issue a wanted warrant, you might as well send a reward of 100,000 US dollars, I believe that it will not be too long, and someone will definitely come to receive this bounty." Li Mu doesn't think that wanted warrants are useful, this is an era without the Internet, and the effect of wanted warrants is not good.

Li Mu is still more inclined to move people's hearts with money, as long as he promises a heavy reward, there will definitely be people who will be moved, and then Tweed's enemies will no longer be the US government, but all those who want to get this bounty.

"I'm not you, not as free as you." Arthur's temperament, he didn't know this truth, but he couldn't implement it.

Bounty is such a thing, and it is inconvenient for the government to come forward.

Li Mu's first pot of gold was a bounty from Jesse James, so Li Mu was no stranger to bounties, Jesse James had more than a dozen bounties on him at that time, but all of them were bounties given by commercial organizations, and none came from violent agencies.

"Okay, I'll come, Leo, find someone to tell me, I'll give 100,000 dollars and offer Tweed's head." Li Mu doesn't do anything, he must arrest Tweed back for trial, Li Mu wants effect, as long as he can kill Tweed, Li Mu doesn't care how much money he pays.

"Hehe, I'll make up a copy too, but I'm not as rich as you, so I'll pay $50,000." J· P. Morgan also offered a prize, although not as much as Lee's, but it would make Tweed more tempting.

"I'll forget it, to be honest, I miss Mr. Tweed, at least when Tweed is in charge, as long as we follow the rules, we can always get what we want." Rockefeller's reason is strange, and it is estimated that Tweed will become a confidant after he knows about it.

In fact, in many cases, when the water is clear, there are no fish, and there are no fugitives when the water is clear, and there is no shortage of supporters for corrupt elements.

The key is to take the money to do something, the kind of death that asks for money and doesn't do things is the most hateful!

"On that note, you just have to follow Mr. Arthur's rules, and you'll get what you want." Li Mu revealed the old bottom, these days, don't talk about pigs.

Arthur is not a good person, when Li Mu begged Arthur to do the first thing, he gave Arthur a big red envelope of 500,000 US dollars, so there is the current "Four Brothers of Fort" and Central Park, so - cough, no one's ass is clean.

"Hehe, nostalgia is nostalgia, I definitely don't have any opinion on Mr. Mayor, and Mr. Mayor knows this." Rockefeller didn't care, and his relationship with Arthur was very good.

Before becoming mayor of New York, Arthur served as the Commissioner of Customs in New York for many years, which was also a very important position, and Rockefeller also dealt with Arthur.
