128 Don't make money too simple
On behalf of the National Rifle Association, Will authorized the Grand Cross Hotel to use the name of the National Rifle Association for publicity, for which the Grand Cross Hotel paid the National Rifle Association $500 as a sponsorship. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As a result, the Grand Cross Hotel became the first sponsor of the National Rifle Association Shooting Competition.
Although the amount of five hundred dollars is not large, it is very significant, and after getting the check issued by Lawrence, Will and Li Mu reported to Burnside as soon as possible.
Obviously, Burnside didn't expect the progress to be so fast, and when he saw the check, the heat in Burnside's eyes almost lit it.
"Will, you've really surprised me, and it looks like you've wronged you by putting you in Springfield, and I dare say there's no one better than you when it comes to discerning people." Burnside knew who the credit should belong, and tacitly regarded Will as the greatest credit.
"Mr. Bernside, you have won the prize, it's all Ream's credit, I didn't do anything, I just sat with him for a while, and if I had any contribution, it was probably that I drank three cups of coffee from Mr. Lawrence—" Will was not greedy for credit, and the tone was high.
"This is a great contribution, you have interfered with Mr. Lawrence's thinking, and have made Reem's work as convenient as possible." Burnside is a serious nonsense, and he seems to be very sincere.
Li Mu does not participate in such nonsense, finds the most sponsors in the shortest possible time, and shows his value to the greatest extent, which is the goal pursued by Li Mu: "In fact, we already have a second business plan, my Horse Weapons Company is ready to come up with a batch of the latest models of 'Python' revolvers as prizes for the winners of this shooting competition, in order to get this honor, the Horse Arms Company is willing to pay 5,000 US dollars for this-"
In fact, this sponsorship should not be used up so much, if Li Mu wants to, he can even get this sponsorship for free, but Li Mu is unwilling to open the back door in this matter, this is obviously an opportunity to give gifts, nominally to sponsor a shooting competition, in fact, it is the same nature as a donation to the Rifle Association, which is equivalent to going into Burnside's pocket, maybe Able or even Grant also have a chance to share the profits, such an opportunity must not be missed.
"Hahahaha-Ream, even if you don't say it, I'm going to talk to you about it, your Horse Arms Company is the best partner for the National Rifle Association, why bother to find Springfield and Colt? I believe that the National Rifle Association and Horse Arms are the best combination, and of course, if you can come up with a rifle with great performance, then our cooperation will be more convincing. "Burnside is not stupid, everyone understands the truth of repaying the favor, since Li Mu has made contributions, he must be paid as he deserves.
"That's great, rest assured, you won't regret your decision, in fact we at Horse Arms are designing a rifle that, like a double pistol, will be a revolutionary weapon - maybe you don't know, although the patent for the double pistol doesn't belong to me, I'm the inventor of the double pistol." Li Mu was indefatigable.
In fact, the birth of any new weapon is based on the progress of bullets.
Li Mu has now successfully developed stable smokeless gunpowder, so next, long bullets based on smokeless gunpowder will appear, and magazine-type rifles and light and heavy machine guns will gradually be perfected. Strive to apply for enough patents before the major arsenals react, and form patent barriers to maximize profits.
"Revolutionary rifle, that's great, Reem, and I'm expecting you to shock me again." Burnside's expectations for Li Mu are high.
Over the next few days, Ream and Will traveled almost all over Washington, D.C., and by the time the rematch began on December 15, Will and Li Mu had brought in a total of 12 sponsorships for the National Rifle Association Shooting Competition, totaling more than $15,000, of which the bulk was still sponsored by the Horse Arms Company.
Watching the cheques roll in, Burnside couldn't help but lament: "I wish the shooting competitions would never stop so that we could keep collecting money - my God, I can't imagine how hard my life would have been without the shooting competitions." ”
Although the financial situation of the National Rifle Association continued to improve during this period, Burnside understood that once the National Shooting Competition was over, the Rifle Association would still have to tighten its belt and live.
Although they have not known each other for a long time, Li Mu and Burnside have now become "old" friends, in front of Li Mu, Burnside disdains to falsify, Li Mu is also a member of the National Rifle Association, and the financial situation of the National Rifle Association cannot be hidden from Li Mu.
"After the shooting competition, we can do something else, to be honest, it's not too easy to make money these days." Li Mu was not polite to Burnside, sitting on the sofa in Burnside's office, drinking Burnside's coffee and smoking Burnside's cigar, Li Mu was in a very comfortable mood.
"Cool - tell me what we should do next? I don't ask for this time to make money so crazy, as long as there is half of what I am now, no, as long as there is a third of it I will be satisfied. "Burnside is worried about the future and can't wait.
Li Mu was not in a hurry to reveal the mystery, first snapped his fingers, and then said confidently: "Lottery - this will be our next profit point, to be exact, it is an instant lottery ticket, we can print lottery tickets, and then sell them in Washington, New York, Los Angeles and other big cities - believe me, this is not less than the shooting contest to earn, we take out half of the money from the sale of lottery tickets to reward those lucky people, we do not set up big prizes, the biggest prize is only 1,000 US dollars or 500 US dollars, but we set a lot, If we can sell 10 million dollars of instant tickets, then we'll make at least $5 million anyway, and we'll make at least $4 million without all the distribution costs. ”
Li Mu does have a lot of ideas, if it comes to fishing for the wrong door, I'm afraid that no one in this era will be better at it than Li Mu.
"Five-five million-" Burnside stroked his chest and fell on the sofa, looking like he was having trouble breathing, it was unbelievable that although he had not known Li Mu for a long time, Burnside was sure that what Li Mu said was likely to come true, and if that was the case, the National Rifle Association would become the most powerful social organization in the United States.
