A little later, J. P. Morgan and Rockefeller and others hurried in. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Mu, Arthur and the others had already gone to the lounge on the second floor at this time, and there were a lot of people attending the dinner, and there were many people with mixed eyes, so it was better to avoid some things.

Compared to the hall, the lounge is more entertainment-oriented, the billiard table is essential, there is also a simple golf course where you can practice putting, if you want to play a little more exciting, you can also pull a friend to a game of darts, if you want a more exciting bow and shooting, then you can only go to the basement.

Li Mu and their minds were not on entertainment, so they were not interested in darts or anything, and a few people got together to discuss how to get the sweetest fruit in their bags tomorrow, which is what everyone likes to see.

"Reem, you have to pay attention to the safety of the councillors, but there can be no more tragedies like Mr. Larry's, otherwise it will be an irreparable blow to our image." J.P. Morgan thought too much to see any more accidents happen.

Larry is the congressman who was shot dead in the street a few days ago, and Tweed has become a turtle in the urn, and he will definitely fight to the death, and on the eve of this victory, he needs to be counted as a last resort.

"Rest assured, Mr. Barron's troops have been dispatched, and all the Councillors are under our protection, including our dear Mr. Tweed, of course." Li Mu had already prepared, if anyone dared to take risks, it would be self-defeating.

Barron is Will, this guy's full name is Will Barron, the task of the 1st Cavalry Division is to ensure law and order in New York, tonight is the key, and it will definitely not relax.

Of course, Li Mu's "protection" is a pun, treating the legislators is protection, and treating Tweed is surveillance, if the impeachment is successful tomorrow, Tweed will be arrested immediately, so it is not impossible to prevent Tweed from escaping.

Fortunately, they had already killed Mahonny, which was equivalent to cutting off one of Tweed's arms, and it was not easy for Tweed to run, there were more than a hundred gunmen and soldiers guarding around Tweed's villa, and no one could take Tweed under the noses of so many people.

"It's best this way, the closer we get to victory, the more cautious we must be, and we must not leave any chance for the enemy." J. P. Morgan will not be merciful, and since the war has begun, one side must be completely defeated.

"Hehe, don't worry, Piper, Ream is better at this kind of thing than you think, and this is just a small thing for Reem." Rockefeller was consistently out of tune.

"Mr. Rockefeller, I warn you, if you try to seduce my people again, then I will let you know how good I really am." Li Mu was not polite, and half-truths warned Rockefeller not to stretch his hand too long.

Rockefeller had decided to set up his own laboratory, but Rockefeller had no experience, so Rockefeller wanted to find an experienced leader for the laboratory.

In the current United States, the most suitable leader is undoubtedly Franklin, so Rockefeller offered Franklin an annual salary of 20,000 US dollars.

This price is very good, more than what Li Mu gave, but Franklin is very smart, he knows what he can get in the Horse Laboratory, and Runkel is the best example, and in the Rockefeller Laboratory, it is not easy to find a good project, so Franklin rejected the Rockefeller offer and reported the matter to Li Mu.

Li Mu has already spoken to Rockefeller on the phone about this matter, and now he will say it again just to prevent trouble.

That's right, Rockefeller also installed telephones, which is not surprising, although the executive orders of the New York government are powerful to ordinary people, but for tycoons like Rockefeller, the executive orders of the city government are not so powerful, and not only Rockefeller, J. P. Morgan, William Vanderbilt, and even Jay Gould, these tycoons have installed telephones, although telephones are not widespread enough now, but they can all see the promise of telephones.

"Ah, Reem, I've explained to you that my assistant didn't get me right, and it won't happen again—but for my friend's sake, shouldn't you help me? I'm ready to start building a gas station on the East Coast-" Rockefeller didn't care much about Li Mu's threat, but instead started Li Mu's idea.

That's right, gas stations!

Rockefeller's meaning is very clear, if Li Mu wants to have his due share in the gas station, then Li Mu had better help Rockefeller come up with ideas, otherwise Rockefeller doesn't mind swallowing Li Mu's share.

Don't think that this kind of thing will not happen, the tycoon has the pride of the tycoon, and Rockefeller, as the top capitalist in the United States, if he wants to reject Rockefeller, then he must be prepared to pay the price.

Rockefeller was not a saint.

"Go to Charles Eliot and he'll give you an answer." Li Mu pushes the boat down the river to do favors, and one candidate cannot change the status quo, and Rockefeller definitely doesn't understand this now.

Charles Eliot is currently unemployed after being fired from Harvard's Board of Trustees, and although Charles Eliot was Harvard's president, no one wants to invest in him.

Although Li Mu does not agree to cooperate with Charles Eliot, Li Mu also has to admit that since Charles Elliott can serve as the president of Harvard, he must be capable, and if Charles Elliott can get rid of those senseless arrogance, then maybe Charles Elliott will have a second career spring.

"Charles Eliot, I heard that he once rejected you, and you actually recommended him to me, it seems that you are really selfless." Rockefeller's expression was playful.

"Love or not, if you don't look for him, maybe I'll give him a job." Li Mu is not polite, he really intends to think so.

In two years, Li Mu's vision of Springfield Industrial School will be opened, and now Li Mu is indeed lacking a dean, since Charles Eliot can be the president of Harvard, it must be no problem to be the president of Springfield Industrial College.

"No, that's it." Rockefeller stopped laughing and predetermined people first.

"Reem, hurry up and build your BMW, bring me ten first, don't worry, I will give you enough royalties." William Vanderbilt also has a claim.

The Vanderbilt family has decided to invest in the emerging industry of automobiles, and the best way to develop a car as quickly as possible is to obtain the patent authorization in Li Mu's hands, even if it is to make a car that is exactly the same as BMW, then the Vanderbilt family will not worry about making no money.

It takes time to set up a factory, and cars have just appeared, no matter how much capacity Li Mu's factory has, it will definitely be in short supply, so under the premise of insufficient supply, there is no need to worry about the sales of cars.

As for royalties, it doesn't matter, even if the Vanderbilt family's car is more expensive than Li Mu's, this is not a problem, even if it is not easy to sell in the United States, the Vanderbilt family can get the car to Europe, anyway, the Vanderbilt family was originally a shipping giant, this is not a problem.

And as long as the patent authorization is obtained, the Vanderbilt family can conduct further research on the basis of these patents, and once there are results, the Vanderbilt family can also apply for a patent, and maybe they can use the patent to collect Li Mu's money, so this business is very cost-effective.

"The thing is, I'm not going to license it to any business." Li Mu hummed dissatisfied, this is to artificially create the rhythm of competitors, Li Mu is definitely unwilling.

It is also possible to authorize, but the first generation of products can only be licensed after the successful development of the second-generation products, so that Junma Automobile Company can always maintain its technical advantages and can collect patent royalties forever.

"Come on, I know what you mean, San Diego Shipyard, I'll help you find enough engineers, even if you want to build warships, what about the conditions?" William is not worried that Li Mu will not agree, and the Vanderbilt family also has their treasures at the bottom of the box.

As a shipping giant, the Vanderbilt family's business is not limited to transportation, manufacturing ships is also one of the Vanderbilt family's businesses, even now that the Vanderbilt family has withdrawn from the shipping industry, they still hold a large number of shipyard shares, and even in New York, the Vanderbilt family controls two sizable shipyards, Li Mu and Ebel's Corbyn-Riem Shipping Company ordered ships from the Vanderbilt family's shipyard, so William knew what Li Mu needed.

"Deal!" Li Mu immediately made a decision.

Men don't care about loyalty, loyalty is because the weight of betrayal is too low; A woman is not loyal because she is not seduced enough.

Compared with the profit of the car, Li Mu cares more about the puzzle in his hand.

In Li Mu's plan, the Santiago Investment Company is to monopolize trade in the Caribbean, so that the shipyard is indispensable, the Santiago steel plant is under construction, and it is expected to be put into operation by the middle of next year, Li Mu has land in Cuba, and he can be as big as he wants, so it seems that everything is ready only to the east wind, as long as there are enough technicians, the Santiago shipyard can start construction as quickly as possible.

"Ahh

The United States does not prohibit civil servants from doing business, a politician like Arthur who has ideals and pursuits, just a mayor of New York, will definitely not satisfy Arthur's appetite, and if he wants to go further, Arthur needs more resources, money is an indispensable part, not someone like Runkel who has the halo bonus of a "great inventor".

Arthur is still the chief of customs in New York, and Arthur is certainly no stranger to shipyards or shipbuilding.

"Hahahaha-you're late!" William burst into laughter.

Well, this group of people is quite relaxed, and for Tweed, there really aren't many people who care about him.
