When all the information came together, several people were a little dumbfounded, but they didn't expect that the key to whether they could bring the Independence Centennial Exhibition back to New York was actually a seemingly unrelated car, which made several tycoons plus a current mayor embarrassed by the future president.

"Reem, you better go back to New York, we must fulfill these promises, otherwise the credibility of our New York City government will be seriously questioned this time." Arthur got to the heart of the problem and produced enough cars as quickly as possible to solve the problem.

If it's just BMW, reduce the supply in other cities, and give all the quotas to Washington, the Phantom is more troublesome, there are a total of seven people who want the Phantom, which is the output of the Junma Automobile Factory in a quarter.

Arthur himself doesn't have a phantom yet, and his order will be lined up for half a year.

"I'll do the math, I'll have one, Piper yours will have one, and Riem yours will have two, and if we put these cars together, then there are still two missing—" Rockefeller also fought hard, willing to take the initiative to take out his phantom to make up the number.

If there is a good thing, you must use it tightly for your own people first, the first Phantom naturally belongs to Li Mu, and then the people who get the Phantom one after another are people who are close to Li Mu, Rockefeller and J· P. Morgan had phantoms, the Vanderbilt family had two, and Vanderbilt Sr. and William Jr. had one.

"Have you ever wondered what those people would think about your pile of second-hand goods?" J· P. Morgan has a bottom line and doesn't want to fool people with second-hand goods.

"It's good to have some uses, but you might as well get them new ones?" Rockefeller was not convinced, anyway, there is no odometer on the current car, and no one can tell whether it has been used or not.

"I'll be back in New York in the evening, and I'll figure out how to solve this problem as soon as possible." Li Mu knew that it was still up to him to solve the problem, and it was not in line with Li Mu's style to get a few old cars to fool people.

Fooling people with old cars can ruin the reputation of the Junma Automobile Factory, there is no such thing as a classic car these days, the new is new, and the old is old.

"That's great, Ream, get me an extra one—" Rockefeller seized the opportunity to carry bootleggies.

If the production of phantoms can be increased, then there will be an extra part of the production capacity, and this part of the production capacity is certainly not temporary, then it means that there will be more phantoms, and Rockefeller's request is just the right time.

"You're really looking for a chance-" J· P. Morgan looked disgusted, but what he said back was also speechless: "Ream, if you can, bring me one too, I'll send it to London-"

Oh, oh, I almost forgot, the Morgan family's current center of gravity is still in London, and there is only J· P. Morgan was fighting alone, but the elder Morgan still valued London more.

"Britain doesn't seem to allow the products of the Stallion Group to enter—" Rockefeller sighed faintly.

The British are indeed very fucked, the United States annexed Hawaii, Li Mu only played a role as a catalyst in it, and even on the day of the riots, Li Mu also helped the British, but now the British do not hate the Americans, but put the Junma Group on the British blacklist, which is really illogical.

"Reem, you have to be careful, the British don't recognize the Horse Group, which means that the British also don't recognize the patents of the Horse Group, so-" Arthur reminded Li Mu.

There is no doubt that the relevant patents of the Junma Group are the core competitiveness of the Junma Group, and the British are also shameless, they do not recognize the patents of the Junma Group, so they can unscrupulously counterfeit and devour the market that originally belonged to the Junma Group.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you don't recognize the patents of the Landmark Group, just recognize the patents of the Colombian Investment Company." Li Mu is not worried, a large number of legal counsel raised by the Junma Group are not dry, Grover Cleveland is also the future president of the United States, and in terms of law, Grover Cleveland still has two brushes.

That night, Li Mu took the train back to New York, although it was still a large box, but tossing on the railroad tracks for a night still made Li Mu feel back pain.

In the past few years, the shock absorption of the train carriage was not up to par, Li Mu decided to turn around and let the laboratory develop a shock absorption system, the laboratory raised so many researchers, and the boss had to suffer such a big crime when he went out, which was really a sin.

In fact, the progress of science and technology has a lot to do with people's own laziness, it is precisely because they don't want to write letters that they have the telegraph, it is precisely because they don't want to light candles that they have electric lights, and it is precisely because they don't want to walk that they have automobiles - countless examples have fully proved that laziness is the biggest driving force for human beings to move forward.

Located in Brooklyn County, New York, off Governors Island, the Kusama Motors Factory is home to a large area of land that includes the future Prospect Park and the Shady Cemetery.

Li Mu has always paid attention to the value of land when building factories, such as the Horse Laboratory in Boston, near the Charles River is a noble residential area in Boston in the future, Li Mu bought it to build a laboratory, as long as the laboratory is relocated in the future, that land can create greater benefits for the Horse Group; The same is true for the Junma Automobile Factory, Li Mu bought more than 30 square kilometers of land in Brooklyn County, such a large land is used to build a factory is a luxury, but Li Mu would rather waste the land, but also get the land first, although this is Brooklyn County, but in the future it will be the same inch of land.

It is not a wasteland, the subsidiaries of the Junma Group have a good habit, whether it is a laboratory or a factory, as long as there is excess land, they will always make use of it, planting lawns is the most common, transplanting some hundred-year-old trees from other places is also good, and recently these idle land has been given a new purpose - growing vegetables.

Regardless of whether it is a city or a country, as long as there are people living in the place, they will always find ways to grow some vegetables, which can beautify the environment on the one hand, and eat them on the other hand, which is really a double win.

Thinking about the vigor of Lao Yan and his wife to open up the land when they first arrived in Riverside Town, you can understand the feelings of the Chinese people for the land, for the Chinese, allowing the land to be abandoned but not wanting to use it can definitely be classified on the same level as crime.

This is the case with the ZAMA Automobile Factory, like all the subsidiaries of the ZAMA Group, in front of the ZAMA Automobile Factory is a huge square, this square is part of the assets of the ZAMA Automobile Factory, the square is surrounded by all shops, behind the shops is a residential area, inhabited by the workers in the ZAMA Automobile Factory, thanks to the high welfare of the ZAMA Group, they should be regarded as the first middle class in the United States.

In the center of the square is a statue of a horse that has been vacated on the premise, exactly the same as the logo of the Horse Arms Factory, which is now the symbol of the Horse Group, and all the companies of the Horse Group have such a statue, a tradition that continues from the Horse Arms Factory.

Entering the gate of the Junma Automobile Factory, there are rows of green trees, green grass, and even the outer wall of the factory seems to have been painted green - in fact, it is not, there are creepers on the outer wall of the factory, these creepers are part of the greening of the factory, and there are special people responsible for taking care of them, so now they look extremely lush and grow in good condition.

To the right of the gate is a large parking lot, which was originally intended to park cars waiting to be picked up, but limited to the production of the Junma Automobile Factory, and now there are only a dozen cars parked in the parking lot, which looks miserable.

It is estimated that these dozen cars will be taken away within two or three days, and the parking lot will be empty again, which is really a happy annoyance.

Li Mulai did not greet anyone at the factory, but as soon as the Phantom car with R-LEE license plate drove into the square, Nicholas Russell, the person in charge of the automobile factory, hurried to the gate of the factory to greet Li Mu.

Regarding license plates, the government has no hard and fast regulations on this aspect, and the reason why Li Mu hangs a license plate in front of the car is purely out of habit.

Nicholas Russell is Chinese, his real name is Russell, and after coming to the United States, he changed his name to Nicholas Russell.

Russell used to be a blacksmith in the Qing Empire, and he had a lot of experience in making ironware, and after the establishment of the Junma Automobile Factory, Russell was appointed by Li Mu as the head of the Junma Automobile Factory by virtue of his excellent skills.

Don't ask why a blacksmith can be the head of a factory, in an era when doctors can invent machine guns, and watchmakers can invent electric lights, everything is possible.

The 30-square-kilometer factory can exhaust people to death if walking, so Li Mu did not mean to get out of the car, but asked Russell to get in the car and introduced the situation of the Junma Automobile Factory to Li Mu in the car.

"——Junma Automobile Factory now has 1,600 regular employees, but the number of skilled workers is seriously insufficient, we now only have four production lines, but these production lines are seriously under-operated, the main reason for restricting production is not only the shortage of skilled workers, the supply of parts can not keep up, and even parts are the biggest factor restricting production, such as automobile tires, our raw materials have to be imported from the Far East, and the output of tire factories cannot be increased, and automobile factories cannot increase production——" When it comes to production, Russell is also helpless.

After all, there are tens of thousands of parts on a car, and it is not realistic to rely on the Junma Automobile Factory to solve it by itself, but the problem now is that there is no supporting facilities factory on the market, so the Junma Automobile Factory is not only an assembly plant, but also a parts production plant, which is why it can be understood why the Junma Automobile Factory has been established for nearly a year, but the output has always been like this.

"Supporting factories can organize bidding from the society, don't the Vanderbilt family also want to produce cars, tell them that if they buy parts from us, then they should also take the corresponding obligation to let them produce some unimportant parts, we can share resources." In the past, Li Mu would not care about this kind of thing at all, but now it doesn't matter, the bigwigs in Washington ask for cars by name, and Li Mu has the responsibility to do so.
