684 Like pins and needles

The attitude of the British towards the United States is very strange, as a former Commonwealth country, as a country of immigrants, the United States was founded by the British, and it is also some British people who cannot get along in Europe, including thieves, vagabonds, bankrupts, and even robbers.

Therefore, the British initially treated the United States with extreme disdain, and even when the Americans began to try to make their voices heard and win more voice, the British still dismissed, which eventually led to the United States breaking away from the Commonwealth through the Revolutionary War and becoming an independent country.

Even if the United States succeeds in becoming independent, Britain's attitude towards the United States is still full of prejudice, and in the eyes of the vast majority of British, the United States is still a country of barbarians, and even though the United States now ranks second in the world in terms of gross national product, the British are still unwilling to face the achievements of the Americans correctly.

It is paradoxical that when the United States is making great strides, the British economy has fallen into a bottleneck, capital regardless of nationality, in order to find new profit growth points, the British on the one hand despise the United States, on the other hand, they quietly began to invest in the American economy, which has been reflected in several previous economic crises, after all, Americans are not fools, or in the economic field, the concept of Americans is more advanced than the British, so in several economic crises, the British have become the object of the Americans "wool", in this regard, Although the British are gritting their teeth, after the economic crisis, capital from Britain still flocked to the United States, and the situation is probably similar to the relationship between the United States and China after entering the 21st century.

For the emerging automobile industry, the British must be interested, but forced by the relationship between the Horse Group and the British government, so the British can not start from the Horse Group, the Vanderbilt family changes, for the British to provide an excellent opportunity, and for the current Vanderbilt family management team, making money is the most important thing, everything else can be temporarily abandoned, even if this "temporary" means "forever" at the expense.

"Need my help?" Rockefeller proposed again.

"No, I can handle it." Li Mu resolutely refused, the British came to join in the fun, it was enough for Li Mu to be upset, if Rockefeller was added, it was enough to form a big earthquake.

Although he was in a bad mood, Li Mu still insisted on saying goodbye to William Vanderbilt, not only out of politeness, but also because of the former friendship-

Well, if those pasts can be described as "friendship".

"—Here lies a man who was a good businessman of honesty and faith, a good husband who was loving, a good father with a sense of family duty, who we know is not dead, but asleep, buried physically, whose soul can be resurrected, and when we still meet, it will be in heaven—our wonderful homeland—" Archbishop Alexander Middleton of New England presided over the funeral, which is rare in normal times, but the Vanderbilt father and son deserved it.

When the coffin was placed in the tomb, Li Mu followed Rockefeller to throw the caryophyllum in his hand onto the coffin, and when he turned around, he saw Paul Vanderbilt with a solemn face but active eyes.

"Condolences and change-" Li Mu shook hands with Paul Vanderbilt according to the procedure, and he could clearly feel that Paul Vanderbilt's eyes were dodging, but he covered it up well.

"Thank you, God bless you—" Paul Vanderbilt politely thanked you.

"But God doesn't necessarily bless you—" Li Mu was too lazy to disguise, quietly using some force in his hand, and staring at Paul Vanderbilt, who was stunned with a stunned face.

Although he knew that the sale of the Vanderbilt automobile factory to the British would cause Li Mu to be angry, Paul Vanderbilt obviously did not know that Li Mu was different from everyone he had seen before, and if he was dissatisfied with someone or something, Li Mu would bring it up directly and face to face, and in this regard, Li Mu was more American than Paul Vanderbilt, an American.

"Reem, it's just business—" Paul Vanderbilt tried to argue.

How to say it, the blame can only be blamed on Cornelius Vanderbilt's protection of Paul too well, and he did not let Paul enter the management of the Vanderbilt family before, so he cultivated Paul into a qualified second ancestor, and the life circle of the second ancestor will definitely not be exposed to these mutual tilts, so Paul Vanderbilt probably has a wrong understanding of the word "anger", for outsiders, out of the family category, when facing Paul Vanderbilt, "angry" This word represents more than just a reprimand,

"Of course it is from your standpoint, but not from my standpoint, it is a shameful betrayal, so Paul, you better pray God forbid, some money, you can get, but not necessarily enjoy the pleasure of wealth." Li Mu is straightforward, since Paul Vanderbilt no longer cares about Li Mu's thoughts, then Li Mu doesn't need to pretend, and next, the development of things will probably be beyond Paul Vanderbilt's imagination.

"It's so presumptuous, how can you be so rude!" Behind Paul Vanderbilt, a middle-aged woman is unscrupulously expressing her indignation, this is probably some of Paul Vanderbilt's sisters, who knows, Cornelius Vanderbilt's children are really a bit much.

"That's because you haven't seen true impudence yet." Li Mu let go of Paul Vanderbilt's hand, took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, and then threw the handkerchief directly in front of Paul Vanderbilt, and then turned around and walked away.

"It's presumptuous, it's too much-" Paul Vanderbilt finally came back to his senses, he was simply trembling with anger, since he was a child, no one had ever been so rude in front of Paul Vanderbilt, Paul Vanderbilt really felt offended.

Serious offense!

What made Paul Vanderbilt feel even more offended was that Li Mu's attitude was seen by many people, when Li Mu left, next, many guests who came to the funeral actually gave up directly saying goodbye to Paul Vanderbilt, and left directly, which also caused a wider range of commotion, which also caused a lot of guests who didn't know what was going on to talk about it.

"Are you going a little too far?" Sitting in the car, Rockefeller teased in a tone that was not too big to see the excitement.

"What would you do if it were you?" Li Mu did not answer positively, and directly commanded the first army.

"I will throw the mastermind into the pit and fill it with my own hands." Rockefeller did not hesitate, and the way he chose was more intense than Li Mu.

Back in Fort Park, Li Mu immediately issued a series of orders.

"Call Melville, and I'm going to sue Vanderbilt Motors for infringing on the patent rights of the Horse Motors Factory—Call Edward and Arthur, and whatever method is used, I'm going to terminate the deal—Notify Bank of America, freeze the Vanderbilt family's accounts, and I want them not to get even a penny—" Li Mu made a ruthless move, and he wanted to kill people as soon as he made a move.

Regarding the patent of the Junma Automobile Factory, Li Mu and William Vanderbilt have reached a consensus, and the way to reach the consensus does not need to be repeated, and this consensus is only valid for William Vanderbilt, not for Paul Vanderbilt.

For a company like Vanderbilt Automobile, the New York state government and city government can use administrative power to intervene in the transfer of the enterprise, whether to intervene depends on the attitude of the state and city government, if Paul Vanderbilt sold Vanderbilt Automobile Company to Li Mu, then the state and city government will definitely not intervene, not necessarily now, either the state and city government may stop the deal.

Finally, regarding the Bank of America, Li Mu allowed William Vanderbilt to use the patents obtained through improper means, one of the conditions was that the Vanderbilt family would open an account in the Bank of America, and ensure that no less than half of the funds transferred were through the Bank of America.

With the relationship between Li Mu and William Vanderbilt, the Vanderbilt family's funds kept in the Bank of America are very safe, but now that William Vanderbilt is gone, Li Mu does not need to keep his promise.

"I'll send someone to Mr. Melville and Mr. Howard immediately, as for Mayor Edward and Governor Arthur, our communication lines haven't been repaired yet, so I'm sorry-" Yan Shun is also helpless, the impact of the snow disaster still exists, and Yan Shun has no way to complete Li Mu's order.

"If you can't call, send someone, I just want the result." Li Mu really wanted to smash something to vent, but it was more like a way to punish himself, so forget it.

"Reem, calm down—" Gloria, who brought the coffee, looked worried, Gloria's office was downstairs, and since Chu Xue worked at home, Li Mu's coffee and tea were all handled by Gloria.

"I'm sorry, I'm a bit out of shape." Li Mu reflected in time, setbacks at work should not be brought home, and mature people should be able to distinguish between work and life.

"What's wrong? What can I do? Gloria put down her coffee and didn't leave, she came behind Li Mu and gently helped Li Mu massage her temples, which was a good way to relieve stress.

"A little trouble, it will pass soon-" Li Mu did feel a little tired, the continuous heavy snow brought not only the traffic cut off, but also the depressed mood and irritable mood, a little unpleasantness will be infinitely magnified, not to mention such a big thing, Li Mu really needs to relax.

"Think of something happy, you're about to be a dad, how about it? Did you feel any different? "Gloria found a light topic, which was a breeze for Gloria, who had been a journalist.

"Of course, it means that I have finally found a sense of belonging in this land." Li Mu was really interested in this topic.

"You should have a sense of belonging a long time ago, you have a career, a family, people who love you and people you love, don't let them down." Gloria didn't fully understand the meaning of Li Mu's words, but this did not prevent Gloria from expressing her attachment to Li Mu.

New York City is estimated to have lost nearly $100 million in this snow disaster, and the original "financial capital" seems to be frozen by the cold weather, and the happiest should be Marshall Joe, the general manager of the Castle Clinton Hotel, because during this period, the income of the Castle Clinton Hotel has increased rather than decreased, and many New Yorkers are even willing to hide in the Castle Clinton Hotel, because there is the most adequate heating and the most abundant food supply in New York, This makes the Château Crichton Hotel a paradise in the midst of a snowstorm.

In room 1302 of the main building, Mr. Franks Pearson from England, a Londoner and a slightly well-known broker, came to New York two months ago to nominally watch the New York leg of the National Rally, but after the snowstorm, Frank Pearson missed the opportunity to leave New York, but Frank Pearson also took the opportunity to broker a deal between Enfield and the Vanderbilt family, which was a bonus.

"Our Mr. King is angry today, Paul is disgraced, he has lost all his face, it seems that the Vanderbilt family is indeed going to collapse, this is incredible, the Vanderbilt family is the first family in the United States, but all this is up to this day." Frank Pearson was lying on the sofa gloating with a glass of red wine from France, and today's funeral Frank Pearson was also present, but Frank Pearson did not appear in front of Li Mu, so Frank Pearson still has a chance to be here to chat.

"Cornelius is the spiritual pillar of the Vanderbilt family, William is the pillar of the Vanderbilt family, and without these two people, the weakening of the Vanderbilt family is inevitable, and today's incident is just the beginning." The British consul in New York, Jacob Hornby, also gloated, as a pure British, Jacob Hornby hated all Americans, including the Vanderbilt family and the teeth-gnashing Oriental.

"His Majesty's revenge does not end here, there is a possibility of trouble to follow, and if it were possible, I would like to leave New York now, which now feels like a primeval forest." Frank Pearson thought of the power of the Horse Group, and it was like sitting on pins and needles.

Thinking of this, Frank Pearson wants to check out now, even if he goes back to the British Embassy and Consulates in New York to starve and freeze.

At least the embassy or consulate is safe.
