And what about the president?

The United States is not an official-based country, the officials of this country are "servants of the people" in the true sense, not to mention a big capitalist like Li Mu who holds tens of thousands of votes, even if he is a small people, as long as he can be linked to the votes, even the president must condescend and grovel.

Unlike politicians who pay attention to votes, ordinary staff in government agencies often lack respect for ordinary citizens, and the United States in these years also lacks a monitoring mechanism, and the poor service attitude of government staff is not a reason for complaints, and there is no local complaint.

James Garfield's attitude towards Li Mu is not good, or even if Li Mu has achieved such an achievement now, James Garfield lacks due respect for Li Mu, which can be seen from the communication between James Garfield and Li Mu when he first got on the ship.

Li Mu didn't take this matter to heart, after all, Li Mu couldn't make everyone like him, and when it came to politicians like James Garfield, Li Mu only needed to maintain superficial harmony with him, as long as he didn't violate Li Mu's fundamental interests, Li Mu would still give James Garfield the support he deserved, just like the current Hayes.

With such a guiding ideology, the dinner prepared by Li Mu for James Garfield was a mixture of Chinese and Western, and did not fully consider James Garfield's taste.

There are three restaurants on the "Lady Liberty", one large restaurant can be used for banquets, and two small restaurants are one Chinese and one Western, Li Mu chose to entertain James Garfield in a Western-style restaurant, and a painting of Van Gogh's "Sunflowers" and a "Basket of Fruits" by Paul Cézanne were hung in the restaurant.

Fortunately, these two painters are still alive, they themselves are not very famous, their works have not yet been sought after, and their works will not be sold at sky-high prices until they die.

Although it is a Western-style restaurant, most of the tableware is porcelain from the Qing Kingdom, and in a few decades, these inconspicuous gadgets can be called antiques, but now it is not worth enough, at the Centennial Exhibition of Independence, Li Mu will wrap all the exhibits of the Qing Kingdom delegation, just a complete set of tableware, thousands of sets of Governor's Island basement.

With Rockefeller and Arthur present, the atmosphere at the table was naturally harmonious, and Li Mu and James Garfield seemed to have forgotten the controversy over the original "Declaration of Independence" just now, chatted with each other about interesting facts about Washington and New York, ridiculed the scandal of the Democratic Party, and scolded a few words of "traitors" in the Republican Party.

This friendship is also the standard plastic flower friendship, sending off James Garfield and Arthur, Li Mu and Rockefeller went to sit on the balcony at the top of the yacht for a while, and when they arrived, they immediately spoke unscrupulously.

"Our Mr. President seems to have a lot of ambitions, do you remember just now that he said that after taking office, he will restrict the behavior of trusts in certain special industries, which seems to be talking about the two of us-" Rockefeller seems to be not very satisfied with James Garfield, which is also normal, there are currently two largest trusts in the United States, one is Standard Oil, the other is the Horse Group, as for Andrew Carnegie and Henry DuPont, they are almost meaningful.

To say Andrew Carnegie and Henry DuPont, these two people are also powerful, the DuPont family dominates the National Gunpowder Association, and Andrew Carnegie controls the entire Great Lakes Basin steel companies, but in the field of gunpowder and steel, in addition to DuPont and Carnegie Rim Steel, after all, there are other companies, although in a normal sense, DuPont and Carnegie Rim Steel are also regarded as trusts, but after all, they are not as thorough as Standard Oil and Horse Group.

As for the trusts of DuPont and Carnegie-Riem Steel, this is something that the Democrats have just begun to hype up in the past two years, and the purpose is naturally to attack the hegemonic behavior of the Republican Party in the economic field, which may have a certain impact on the Republican race, at least the Democrats hope so.

As for Standard Oil and Kufco, well, these two companies no longer have the value of hype, their hegemony is a fact, this is well known, and it has been accepted by the public.

"He's not the president yet, now it's just Mr. Garfield-" Li Mu first made a decision to James Garfield, if James Garfield's running mate was not Arthur, then this sentence has already sentenced James Garfield to half of the death sentence: "-Of course, the ideal is good, whether it can be implemented or not is two different things, Mr. Hayes still wants to rectify the civilian bureaucracy, will the politicians in Washington agree?" ”

Li Mu is really not worried, American politicians have a long history of breaking their mouths, and they can't change this virtue in the 21st century, whatever James Garfield says, trust companies are not easy to mess with, look at the DuPont family at the end of the nineteenth century, they all went to the Supreme Court or maintained the status quo, as for Standard Oil, I'm sorry, no one dares to target Rockefeller, this guy has a private army, armored vehicles and artillery!

Of course, the current Li Mu is even more excessive, this guy produces armored vehicles and artillery, and there are several mercenary companies abroad, and he can pull up tens of thousands of people casually, James Garfield would be funny if he wanted to target the Horse Group, maybe it would lead to a war again.

"Hehe, you may not believe it, but I would love Mr. Garfield to do this, and it would be better if Washington could pass a bill as well, just like the Military Weapons Standards." Rockefeller didn't take it seriously, politicians talked wildly before they came to power, and after they came to power, they would selectively forget, James Garfield spoke more excessively, and his words were even more unbearable, it was purely to win the votes of voters, Hayes did this before, and what is the difference between Hayes on stage and Ulysses Grant on stage before?

There really is, if you think about it carefully, compared with before, it seems that the monopolistic behavior of large enterprises is more serious, and it seems that capital is more concentrated in the hands of a few people, maybe Hayes is not willing to accept this situation, but what can Hayes do?

He can't do anything!

As long as politicians still need the support of the capitalists, Hayes will be able to do nothing, even if they are replaced by others.

Rockefeller's "Military Weapons Standards" was passed in Congress just last week, and several Democratic congressmen voted against it, but it was of little avail, and most of the congressmen voted in favor, including a considerable number of Democrats.

It's funny, don't think that Li Mu has a strong Republican imprint, Li Mu has a bad relationship with all the Democrats, there are many Democrats in the beach club, Li Mu has a good relationship with them, not to mention wearing a pair of pants, there is no obstacle at all to share a dirty thing together.

"If you want to, you can lobby the Congress, the general election is about to begin, and this is a good opportunity." Li Mu doesn't hide his selfishness, even if Li Mu doesn't say it, Rockefeller knows it.

The general election is the midterm election, every two years a third of the members of Congress will be re-elected, and some state governors will also be re-elected, such as New York, Arthur and James Garfield formed a team to run for president, has resigned as governor of New York, and in a month, the gubernatorial election will start voting.

New York State is a big state, and there are also many people interested in the governor's position, and New York Mayor Edward Jeffrey also signed up, but most of them are accompaniments, and now the most vocal is the Republican Nathaniel Philip, this guy is also a lawyer, a state legislator, Li Mu and he just know each other, not familiar.

It doesn't matter, if Nathaniel Philip succeeds in winning the election, then Li Mu will soon become familiar with him, and whoever becomes the governor will become Li Mu's friend as quickly as possible.

"If I don't go, I can't afford to make a lot of trouble for myself." Rockefeller is white, and he is more confident than Li Mu, and he doesn't need to learn seven injuries to deal with opponents, and Wang Baquan is enough-

Wrong, it's Wang Baquan.

The reason why the "Military Weapons Standards" was passed so quickly in Congress is mainly due to Li Mu's decisiveness and the formulation of strict industry standards, which seems to bring some trouble to Junma Arms Company, but in the long run, the benefits are still great, at least no one will make irresponsible remarks about Junma Weapons Company because of this, which is a great thing for Junma Group - you see, I don't allow others to compete with me, I gave you a chance, but unfortunately you can't do it.

It's hateful, Li Mu likes to see some people gritting their teeth but looking helpless.

"Okay, you're amazing, I don't have as much confidence as you." Li Mu admitted that he was inferior to Rockefeller in this regard, but of course Li Mu did not think it was a shame.

"Let's talk about our Mr. President, in fact, he is getting busy a little earlier now, but this is understandable, this is his last chance, if he still can't win this time, then he will be too disappointed." Rockefeller is not very optimistic about James Garfield, but it doesn't matter, with the help of Rockefeller and Li Mu, even if it is a dog, Rockefeller and Li Mu can elect it to the presidential palace.

Counting this time, this is the third time that James Garfield has competed for the presidential palace, and if he fails to succeed this time, James Garfield will not be able to gain the support of investors, which will mean the end of James Garfield's political career.

Yes, James Garfield's political career is coming to an end, even if James Garfield wins, then if he does not perform well, four years later, James Garfield will also step down, which also means the end of James Garfield's political career, although after that, James Garfield will still have some influence, but like the current Ulysses Grant, it will definitely not be as good as before.

After Ulysses Grant stepped down as president, he came to the ZAMA Group as a special adviser, and it didn't take long for him to travel around the world, and now he is said to have gone to romantic Turkey - no, Turkey was still the Ottoman Empire in this year, and it will be more than a hundred years before you want to feel the romantic Turkey.

Traveling around the world is a dream of many people, but only a few people can realize it, Ulysses Grant is obviously no problem, in the previous life, Ulysses Grant could "travel poorly" without much money, and in this life with the support of Li Mu and Abel Corbyn, at least Mrs. Grant will not have to sell books to pay off her debts in the future.

Speaking of poor travel, looking at Ulysses Grant's experience, this guy shouldn't have much money, but this thing can't be said, when Ulysses Grant was on stage, it was rumored that Mrs. Grant received money about baggage, how could there be no money, as for selling books to pay off debts, well, this kind of bridge sounds very fake, even if Ulysses Grant has no money, is Abel Corbyn still not rich? Even if there is no Li Mu to help Abel Corbin sell lottery tickets in another time and space, Abel Corbin is also rich.

Therefore, in the nineteenth century America, it is a fantasy that a personal memoir can earn $450,000, and it is even more ridiculous to say that it is not boring than a book that can earn $450,000.

"It doesn't matter, he can't do it and there are others, anyway, capital will never fail." Li Mucai doesn't care who is the president, anyway, it won't be Li Mu's turn.

In other words, if Li Mu works hard, according to the current situation of the Junma Group, Xiao Will may have a chance in the future, after all, with Li Mu as the net worth saved by Xiao Wei, it is estimated that no one doubts that Xiao Wei will be corrupt, and this is precisely the most criticized point of American politicians at present.

In this way, Will should also have a chance now, after all, Will is also a soldier, and like Ulysses Grant and James Garfield, Will performs equally well on the battlefield, and Will is also rich now, with Li Mu helping Will make money, the only property that Will has to worry about is too much to distribute.

However, Li Mu estimated that Will should not be interested in this area, otherwise, Will would not have read "Introduction to the Art of War", but read Aristotle's "Politics".

After smoking cigars and drinking coffee, Li Mu said goodbye to Rockefeller and returned to Governors Island, with a yacht is indeed very aspect, there is no need to change to a traffic boat, the yacht can be docked directly on the dock of Governors Island, it is said that there are many ships on the dock of Governor's Island, in addition to the "Lady of Liberty" and the "Sea Hussar", after the Panama Canal is repaired, the first thing Li Mu will do is to get the "Sea Ranger Back", and when the "Lady of Liberty" sails, it will have two quasi-warship-level gunboats to protect it, this treatment, Even the president can't enjoy it.
