In Burnside, Li Mu felt the tactfulness of a politician, and it was a special skill to be able to make people feel cordial when they met for the first time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Will doesn't have that ability, so Will is still running around for a police chief, while Burnside is working on becoming a senator.

Purely from the smile, Li Mu's smile is more mature than Burnside, after all, when he was looking for a job, Li Mu had practiced in front of the mirror, so it seems that Li Mu is also very sincere: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Burnside, no matter how you look at it, you are my senior." ”

Li Mu's performance is just right, similar to a reasonable fan who meets an idol.

"Let me guess what's inside, a box of cigars from Cuba?" Burnside took the gift box from Li Mu and didn't open it in a hurry, looking more interested in Li Mu himself.

Li Mu didn't spoil it, kept a mature smile, and looked at Burnside with admiration, this kind of look was very satisfying to Burnside.

"It's—it's perfect—" Burnside looked surprised as he opened the box.

In fact, compared with craft pistols, simple silver-plated pistols are not much more perfect, but the practicality is better, and the silver-white body is enough to pull the wind, not to mention that when you see your name engraved on the nameplate of the gun, no matter who you are, even if it is polite, you should express your gratitude.

"I've been so inspired by your 'Burnside' rifle that I'm giving you the first python as a token of my appreciation." Li Mula's relationship is close.

Burnside invented a breech-loading carbine in 1856, and although Burnside's weapons factory in Bristol, Rhode Island, eventually closed down in 1857, Burnside's successors produced 55,000 of the Burnside's first "Burnside" rifles with metal magazines during the Civil War.

Li Mu is purely staring at the eyes and talking nonsense, Burnside invented a rifle, and the pistol can't be beaten, but Li Mu can pull the two together, this kind of ability to refer to the deer as a horse is also one of the special skills, as long as a politician will use it, and the skill points are full of points.

"Hahahaha-I take this as your compliment to me, but I will say that your compliment makes me useful." Burnside looked up at the sky and smiled, finally having some sincerity.

"It's clear that your experience deserves any degree of praise, and I would even suggest that the winner of the shooting competition be awarded a trophy that could be named 'Burnside.'" Li Mu began to bet, which was the main purpose of Li Mu's trip.

In this year's Americans, imagination is still a little lacking, and in Li Mu's view, if you want to reap personal honors, there are opportunities everywhere.

Obviously, Burnside did not think of setting up a "Burnside Cup", so after listening to Li Mu's words, Burnside's face was full of consternation, and then his eyes showed enough surprise, looking at Li Mu and nodding again and again, that look was similar to watching his son be elected president.

Since he has a good impression, Li Mu wants to strike while the iron is hot: "The shooting competition is very good, it has great promotion significance, and it is best to have such a competition every year, so that the influence of our rifle association will continue to expand." ”

"It wasn't easy, this time the competition was supported by the state, so it was held smoothly, and it was not easy to get the support of the state all the time." Burnside also knew the benefits of fixing the shooting tournament, but Burnside didn't know how to fix the shooting tournament.

The National Rifle Association is a non-profit organization, and so far, the reason why the National Rifle Association has been able to maintain it, in addition to the membership fees paid by members, relies more on donations from wealthy people like Li Mu, so there is no surplus food in the small treasury of the National Rifle Association, and Burnside wants to hold such a shooting competition every year, and it is impossible to maintain it by relying on the ability of the National Rifle Association alone.

"It's the same without state support, we can look for social forces to support us." Li Mu is not worried about the problem of support, the competition can be sponsored, this form is commonplace in the 21st century, and a person can give you a one, two, three out when he pulls it out.

"Social forces?" Burnside didn't understand Li Mu's words, this is normal, people in the nineteenth century really can't understand the thinking of the twenty-first century.

"You see, this is a shooting competition, right, we can go to the Springfield Arsenal and the Colt Company, or my Horse Weapons Company, and sell the naming rights to a certain company, and then this shooting competition will become the Springfield Shooting Competition, the Colt Shooting Competition, or the Horse Shooting Competition; So since it is a shooting competition, we must use a firearm, and we can sell this project to a certain company, as long as the price is enough, our competition can designate a certain gun as a competition gun, which is a major benefit for the arsenal; Another example is the clothing of the contestants, the hotel where the contestants live, and even the carriages used by the contestants to go to the arena, and even the free drinks provided on the stadium, these can be sold as commodities, and there must be people who are willing to pay a lot of money for it, and if it is a competition between multiple companies, it is good, and the price will be higher and higher; Even for those contestants, they have to pay the registration fee to participate in the competition, don't worry about no one participating, we can send out all the registration fees as the winner's bonus, so that the more people participate in the competition, the higher our event prize money, the more popularity of the competition will be, and then attract more sponsors - "Li Mu gushed endlessly, laying out the various ideas of running a commercial competition in the 21st century one by one.

At the beginning, Burnside chimed in: "That's right, we can sell the naming rights - damn it, I didn't think I even paid cash for the hotel where you live, they should pay me, dear Li Mu, compared to you, I'm as stupid as a pig - bonus, yes, we're going to give out a prize money, if we can get ten thousand dollars, then people all over the world will line up to participate in the competition, in order to get this ten thousand dollars, It's not too much to ask them to pay ten dollars for the entry fee—"

By the time Li Mu finished speaking, Burnside was already stunned, and his saliva was dripping and he didn't know it, looking at Li Mu's eyes was like looking at aliens, or looking at God himself.

When Li Mu said this, he was completely on Burnside's position, without the slightest selfishness, and even put his horse weapons company on the same level as Springfield and Colt, without the slightest intention of entrapping private goods, which was very clever and very helpful to gain Burnside's trust.

"Reem, Reem, you are simply an angel sent by God to the Rifle Association, you should be the chairman of the board!" Burnside closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair to digest Li Mu's words, and the more he thought about it, the more reliable he felt.

Well, Li Mu can also understand this as Burnside's praise for Li Mu.
