561 Money opens the way

It should be said that the United States in the 19th century was still very new to Japan, and the virtues of the Japanese were not clear enough, and even in another time and space, until after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in World War II, many Americans heard about Japan for the first time.

All Mason's understanding of the Japanese was influenced by Li Mu, and now all this finally aroused Bresta's vigilance, and Bresta's choice did not disappoint Li Mu.

Honestly, Li Mu doesn't want to see any Japanese who have become American citizens in New York, even if they have become American citizens, Li Mu and the Junma Group are fully capable of doing it today, but it is most appropriate to leave this matter to Bresta to do.

Don't underestimate Bresta as the police chief, this position is different from the original police chief of Springfield, and it is a real high position.

In the sequence of American cities, although the city of Springfield has a high status, in Massachusetts, the seat of the city government is Boston, not the city of Springfield, so the police chief of Springfield is a bit undercolored.

The New York City Police Department is different, the main body of New York State is in New York City, and the seat of the state capital is also in New York, although New York State has its own state police, but the special thing about New York City is that in New York State, it is the former Mayor Tweed, or the current Mayor Arthur, their power is no less than that of the Governor of New York, and even more than that, so a strong city government has created a strong city police department, in New York State, the strength of the state police is far less than that of the New York City Police Department, Considering that there is almost no National Guard in New York State, the New York City Police Department is the most powerful force unit in New York State.

If you look at it this way, just use Bresta as a gunman, Li Mu is really a little unkind.

Fortunately, Li Mu and Bresta have a good relationship, Bresta is still a shareholder of the Horse Weapons Company, even if Bresta knows that Li Mu's motives are not pure, it is estimated that he will be driven by Li Mu willingly.

After getting the Japanese, Li Mu was satisfied, an apple city that can't see the Japanese is the mouth-watering big apple, otherwise it's like an apple that has been eaten by insects, it's a pity to throw it away, and it feels disgusting to eat it.

Of course, according to Li Mu's understanding of the Japanese, the Japanese should not just stop fighting, and it is impossible to say that the Japanese ambassador to the United States is going to bother Ulysses Grant again recently.

But this has nothing to do with Li Mu, as long as you don't bother Li Mu, Ulysses Grant doesn't care if you bother Li Mu or not.

One day at the end of May, J· P. Morgan asked Li Mu to meet.

This meeting was not a meal, but a formal meeting, and the place where the two met was in Li Mu's office.

J· P. Morgan has recently made several big deals in succession and made a lot of gains, so he is full of spring breeze and looks more energetic than Will, who is in good spirits on happy occasions.

"What is worth your personal involvement, I guess it must be a big business, I hope you can bring me good news." Li Mu was also in a good mood and took the preventive shot in advance.

"Of course it's big business, the kind I can't even swallow in one gulp, can you imagine how big it is..." P. Morgan is a rare bit of a debauched skeleton, not only holding a wine glass in his hand, but also erecting Erlang's legs, which is mostly Rockefeller's style in the past.

The Morgan family's main business is banking and investment, in the real field, although the Morgan family is everywhere and is now a shareholder of a number of large companies, the Morgan family is rarely involved in physical operations, and the port of San Diego is a special case, one of the few entities run by the Morgan family himself.

Of course, the Port of Santiago has also paid off handsomely for the Morgan family, and since the founding of the United States of Cuba, the Port of Santiago has gradually become the heart of the Caribbean.

Through the port of San Diego, Li Mu and a group of American bigwigs sold industrial products to neighboring countries in the Caribbean in exchange for a large amount of non-renewable raw materials.

In the past two years, American capitalists led by Li Mu have taken away more than $1 billion of wealth from the port of San Diego, with the San Diego Investment Company in particular making the most profits.

The Santiago Investment Company is also owned by the Morgan family, along with President Sylvester of the United States of Cuba, as well as former Prime Minister Nelson and current Prime Minister Green Galls.

In fact, democracies are also quite depressing, such as the United States of Cuba, although the nominally the head of the United States of Cuba is the president of Cuba, but the president is not actually responsible for running the country, but appointing a prime minister, who is responsible for forming a cabinet and then ruling the whole country.

In this way, the quality of the country's management has little to do with the actual state leaders, and the good governance of the country is, of course, the leadership of Mr. President who knows how to make good use of people, and if the country is not well governed, it is also the incompetence of the prime minister and the cabinet, and the president cannot be blamed.

"Tell me, I'm really a little curious about the big business that even your Morgan family can't swallow in one bite." Li Mu immediately cheered up, now Li Mu also has a bank in his hands, and he is also very interested in investing in Li Mu, saying that no one knows better than Li Mu, the development trend of the world in the next hundred years, this is the biggest advantage that Li Mu has in rebirth.

"It's French government bonds, and France has issued a new round of government bonds, this time for a total of $100 million, and France is collateralized by the proceeds of its French North African colonies, and the maturity of the national debt is ten years." J· P. Morgan couldn't help but smile on his face, buying treasury bonds is the best investment in this era for ordinary people, and the French also use colonial gains as collateral, no matter how you look at it, it is a sure deal.

Li Mu was disappointed after hearing this, compared with buying treasury bonds, if Li Mu invested his money in the real field, he would get a greater return.

Of course, disappointment does not mean that there is no interest, the current domestic in the United States, the expansion of the Junma Group has also reached a bottleneck period, there are not too many areas that require Li Mu to invest a lot of money, unless Li Mu is willing to invest in laying submarine cables between the United States and Southeast Asia.

About 25 years ago, the world's first submarine cable appeared, and ten years ago, the British built a cable across the Atlantic Ocean to connect the United Kingdom and the United States, so from a technical point of view, it is not impossible to lay a submarine cable across the Pacific Ocean.

At the regular meeting of the Senate two months ago, the Senate had already passed a decision to build an undersea cable connecting San Francisco and Hawaii, which cost more than 10 million US dollars.

In fact, Li Mu himself is very happy to see the submarine cable connecting San Francisco and Hawaii appear, today's Hawaii, for the current Li Mu is too important, Hawaii not only represents the votes, but also represents Li Mu's support in the Senate and the House of Representatives, if it were not for the Senate proposed payment method is too nonsense, Li Mu would have let Junma Construction Company come forward to take over this work.

If a company is willing to come forward to lay the submarine cable, then the company will get the right to operate the cable for 30 years, and the profits from the cable will belong to the company.

It sounds great, but everyone knows it's a losing deal.

In the current U.S. territory, only Hawaii hangs outside the ocean, so Washington must be happy to see the use of a submarine cable to connect Hawaii to the U.S. mainland, and given the closeness between Hawaii and the U.S. mainland, it is estimated that the use of this cable will not be too high, so let alone the 30-year operating right, there is still a question mark over whether the 100-year operating right can recover the cost.

It is said that wireless telegraphy will appear in another decade or two, and the value of cable telegraph will plummet at that time, so even the profits in these 30 years cannot be guaranteed.

Speaking of French national bonds, this is actually a sequelae of the Franco-Prussian War, Li Mu remembers that about four years ago, not long after Li Mu arrived in the United States, France once sent people to the United States to sell national bonds, and it also happened to coincide with the National Shooting Competition held in Washington, which was also the beginning of Li Mu's emergence and soaring.

Now four years later, Li Mu has gone from nothing to a new billionaire, and the French have not paid off their reparations, which is really a sad topic.

"Aren't you interested in this national debt?" J· P. Morgan is different from Li Mu, and he doesn't have as many whimsical ideas in his head, so investing in treasury bonds has become J· The best choice for P. Morgan.

"The benefits of the North African colonies, this is too insincere..."Even as a traverser, Li Mu doesn't know much about African affairs, Li Mu doesn't even remember how big the French North African colonies are, and what specialties they have.

It's useless to have special products, Suzuki Machine's Algeria seems to have a very large oil field, now it doesn't make any sense to Li Mu, the current oil industry, the Rockefeller family is dominant, and the oil extracted in the United States alone is enough to meet the world's oil consumption, so it's not a good thing to get out too many oil fields, and it will affect Li Mu's income, after all, Li Mu is also a major shareholder of Mobil Oil.

"Are your eyes fixed only on the French colonies of North Africa? Then you're too short-sighted. ”J· P. Morgan had an expression of "despise you", and Li Mu was very unhappy when he saw it.

"Then let me hear what business opportunities you have identified in your long-term vision?" Li Mu is not so angry because of a ridicule between friends, J· P. Morgan may not have Li Mu's vision and heart, but his IQ is definitely higher than Li Mu's, otherwise the Morgan family will not have such great achievements in the future.

In the 21st century, people have mentioned Rockefeller, Carnegie, J. Brown, J. Brown, and J. Brown. P. Morgan likes to compare their wealth with the GDP of the United States, but this is unfair, and in many cases, the influence of these top rich people does not match their wealth.

For example, J· P. Morgan, at the outbreak of the First World War, J. Morgan, J. Morgan, J. Morgan, J. P. Morgan and his allies controlled nearly a quarter of the wealth in the United States, so it can be seen how influential the Morgan family was at that time.

It is not an exaggeration to say that if the Morgan family did not agree at that time, the United States would not even be able to participate in World War I, and even if the president and Congress did not approve the United States to enter the war, the Americans could not afford to fight.

"Hasn't your Kufma Group always wanted to break into Europe? Then you and Krupp have a good start, but in England and France, it seems that you and your Kufny Group are not popular, and now is an opportunity, an opportunity to make you popular, and as for how many business opportunities are involved, I don't think I need to remind you to understand. ”J· P. Morgan's words made Li Mu have to pay more attention.

J· P. Morgan is right, and Krupp's cooperation, it is indeed the smooth landing of the Horse Group in Europe, but outside of Germany, the Horse Group is very difficult, not only the United Kingdom and Spain are hostile to Li Mu and his Horse Group, the French, Belgians, the Dutch, Italians, etc. do not welcome Li Mu and his Horse Group, which makes the sales team sent by Li Mu very helpless.

Now is indeed an opportunity, if Li Mu can pay the French government full "protection fee" by purchasing national bonds, then presumably the French will have to sell Li Mu a little face, then the next thing will be logical, once a gap is opened within imperialism, even if the British and Spaniards certainly do not want to see Li Mu and his horse group, other countries should have a different view of Li Mu and his horse group.

Who can't get along with a rich American man waving a check these days...

Even if this rich man is of Chinese descent, the dollar in his hand still has an irresistible charm.

"I'll think about this matter again..."Although Li Mu was already moved, he didn't say it to death, and still left enough room for himself.

If you want to "bribe" a country, it is estimated that one or two million dollars is not enough, even if France loses the Franco-Prussian War and makes itself disgraced, it is still one of the largest countries in the world, so it is impossible to say that Li Mu is going to bleed heavily this time, giving the French a temptation that they cannot refuse.

"By the way, how much are you going to buy?" Li Mu wanted to inquire about the Morgan family's handwriting and make a reference for himself.

"We, the Morgans, underwrote half of it, and we're going to buy about 30 percent of it." J· P. Morgan also did his best, and 30 percent of it was probably all the Morgan family's liquidity.
