232 Win-win

The U.S. doesn't have a standing army, but Guantanamo Bay has land defense needs, so what to do at this time?

Finding a mercenary army that is willing to do the dirty work seems to be the best solution. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The key is that this Guantanamo Infantry Regiment is a Chinese unit, so according to the consistent character analysis of the Chinese, the asking price of this unit is definitely not high; Moreover, although the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment is nominally a unit of the Republic of Cuba, it is actually covered by Li Mu, and Li Mu himself is an American and has an inextricable relationship with Washington.

"Trust - it depends on what aspect it is, if they are allowed to attack Santiago, I believe they will not hesitate, but if they are allowed to attack the Qing Empire in the Far East, it is estimated that they will most likely fall apart." Li Mu took the preventive shot in advance, and said the ugly things first, so as not to say that Li Mu's people would not work hard in the future.

In Li Mu's memory, the U.S. imperialists didn't seem to have any intention of waging war against the Qing Empire before the Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of China, that is to say, even if the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment was absorbed, Li Mu didn't have to worry about meeting the suzerain.

Of course, it's better to make it clear first, with Li Mu's appearance in this era, the rhythm of many things has been greatly accelerated, God knows what will happen in the future, whether the original historical trajectory will change, although Li Mu has no good impression of the Qing Empire, but Li Mu is still unwilling to act as the vanguard of imperialist aggression against China, after all, the war is together, and the victims are still the common people after all.

"Surely they will not attack the Qing Empire, this is not in line with our core interests, I mean the Republic of Cuba, if, I mean, if one day they want to confront the Republic of Cuba for the benefit of a certain country, will they have a sense of resistance?" Will was still cautiously probing.

is also "a certain country", just say that the United States is not over, you have a muscular head in your head, and being a lobbyist is really not your old job.

"Definitely not! I have already told you that the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment was besieged by the Spaniards for three days and three nights, but no one came to the rescue, so what else can you expect this unit to work for the Republic of Cuba wholeheartedly? Don't be stupid, okay. Li Mu said it thoroughly, completely dispelling the doubts of Will and some people.

People are not dogs, if they are dogs, they may be able to get back after a lot of hard work if they are abandoned by their owners once, and it is not easy to appease people if they are abandoned once, even if they don't say it on the surface, they will still buy mustard in their hearts after all.

"Good." With a word of praise, Will stopped paying attention to the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment and quickly changed the topic.

Li Mu is not in a hurry, such a big matter is definitely not something that someone can decide, Li Mu has already expressed his attitude, so just wait for Washington's response.

After dinner, Li Mu invited Runkle and Will to sit in the study.

Runkel is still as elegant as ever, although the fatigue between the eyebrows has not been resolved, but the spirit is excellent, in fact, the researchers do research in the direction of night owls, and the spirit at night is often better than during the day.

"You're still clean here, there's no endless experimentation, there's no endless invitation—maybe you can't imagine that in Boston, I don't have time to have a comfortable drink after dinner." Runkel was also a bit greedy for cups, and like Will, he didn't drink enough when he ate, so he moved to the study to continue drinking.

Li Mu didn't drink, so he asked Chu Xue for a cup of tea at this time, and listened to Runkel's complaints with a smile.

Runkel, the dean of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has recently been named a "great inventor" again, and it is the time when the spring breeze is proud, so don't look at the old man who is complaining now, maybe how beautiful it is in his heart.

"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, you are so busy that you can't keep your feet on the ground to prove that your level of social participation is relatively high, you see how I am idle, no one invites me to dinner, no one invites me to a meeting, if you are willing to live such a life, the two of us can change it-" Li Mu is also cheap and good, his understanding of life is different, and his pursuit is different, he can't say who is right and who is wrong, and the cabbage has its own love.

Compared with Runkel, Li Mu's biggest reliance is age.

Ronkel is in his fifties, and according to the average life expectancy of this era, his days are numbered, so he must seize every opportunity to shine and shine, and after he dies, he has time to rest.

Li Mu is only in his teens this year, although Li Mu himself doesn't know how old his body's bone age is, but it will definitely not exceed fifteen years old, this age can have the current achievement is already against the sky, and when Li Mu reaches his fifties, Li Mu doesn't know how much influence he will have.

Of course, compared with Runkel, Li Mu's disadvantage is also age.

This world is an adult's world after all, although Li Mu is currently among the ranks of first-class rich people, but after all, he is still a teenager, and he can't do things firmly without hair, and the trust that others give Li Mu will be because Li Mu's age is not commensurate with Li Mu's strength.

This is also understandable, don't look at Li Mu as a "little tyrant" in Springfield, but if Li Mu is allowed to enter the Springfield City Council and participate in politics with those old men with a lot of beards and eyebrows, not to mention what others think, Li Mu himself can die awkwardly.

"What are you going to do with the light bulbs, Reem?" Runkel didn't waste any time, and directly talked to Li Mu about work.

There is no doubt that the light bulb is an epoch-making product, a product that can completely change people's lives, Li Mu estimates that the news of the successful development of the light bulb has now spread, and now many people should be ready to get involved in this industry.

Although Runkel is the inventor of the light bulb, the patent right of the light bulb belongs to Li Mu, so in terms of commercial development, Runkel does not have the right to decide, so this may be the real reason why Runkel came to Li Mu.

"I've talked to Henry that within a week I'm going to set up a lighting company in Springfield and I'll be lighting for the public or individuals." Li Mu is prepared and confident to rely on the light bulb to win a higher social status.

In fact, at this stage, the bulb is unlikely to provide lighting for the common people, the successful study of the bulb is one thing, how to stably transmit electricity to thousands of households is another, Li Mu has heard of a series of lawsuits between Edison and Tesla on alternating current and direct current, although it is impossible for Edison to compete with Li Mu at this stage, but the trouble is predictable, and it will take time to completely solve it.

Although there are still various problems, this does not prevent Li Mu from relying on light bulbs to make a profit, there is never a shortage of people in this world who are willing to try new things, so even if the price of the lighting system is relatively high at this stage, there will definitely be no lack of market, which is why Li Mu chose the company in Springfield.

In Springfield now, the horse investment company has enough influence, with Henry, the deputy mayor, the horse investment company can get involved in the city's public construction, and this happens to be the best opportunity for the light bulb to "shine amazing", if the horse investment company to the whole Springfield to install street lights, then there is no need for the horse investment company to publicize, other cities of all sizes will wave a check to the door.

"And about the stake in this company—" Runkel was a little embarrassed, but touched on the key part.

"Don't worry, John, a portion of the profits belongs to you." Li Mu's attitude towards money is not a dime, and Li Mu is certainly willing to invest in Runkel.

Runkel intends to develop in the direction of politics, money is an indispensable booster, if you want to get ahead in American politics, strong financial resources are indispensable, look at those old guys in Congress, they are either rich themselves, or agents of rich people, it is impossible for a grass people to get out in American politics.

Regarding this last point, just look at Benjamin's genealogy to know what is going on in American politics, this guy has been a political bigwig since his grandfather's generation, and Benjamin himself will still be in Benjamin's father's generation, and Benjamin himself will be in the future, this is the standard hereditary system, what about democracy and freedom?

Although Runkel has the halo of "great inventor", but if there is not enough economic strength, it is not easy to get out in the American political arena, Li Mu knows that Runkel is going to enter politics after he has this plan, although Runkel himself has no money, but Li Mu is now poor and only has money, it is not a problem to take out a part to support Runkel, Li Mu believes that in the future, Runkel will definitely give Li Mu enough returns.

"Thank you very much Reem, and I hope our cooperation will continue forever." Runkel was satisfied and thanked Li Mu with sincerity.

In fact, the cooperation between ZAMA Investment Company and MIT has been very deep, just last month, MIT officially established a "ZAMA Laboratory", which is completely tied to MIT and ZAMA Investment Company.

Runkel will step down as dean of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in September this year, and Franklin, the former head of the Department of Chemistry and the current director of the "Horse Laboratory," will succeed him as dean.

"Of course, I also believe that our cooperation will continue forever." Li Mu is also willing to maintain this close relationship with MIT, not only for scientific considerations, but also for investment in the future.

Li Mu is running a school in Springfield, recruiting the children of Junma Investment Company employees, most of whom are Chinese, but also many white Westerners, Li Mu is now on good terms with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, so it is equivalent to having a special channel for further education, and when these children reach the age of college, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology will be their best choice.
