Ά D Oy }M6 po !0o e G[|y k E : N6 b Ming, it is easy to convince an ordinary person, but it is even more difficult to convince a successful person who has reached the peak of life, or is on the way to the peak of life.

Li Mu's always invincible lobbying work finally went wrong. Except for P. Morgan, Li Mu has never been able to convince any of the bigwigs, including Rockefeller, who has the closest relationship with Li Mu.

To be honest, Li Mu was not surprised by this result, and the reason why Li Mu was able to convince J· P. Morgan, mainly because of J. Morgan. P. Morgan did not support either James Bryan or James Garfield, and J. Morgan did not support either James Bryan or James Garfield. P. Morgan and Hayes were able to find a common language, and these two people were one kind of people after all, so J. Morgan and Hayes were able to find a common language. P. Morgan would support Hayes.

As for Rockefeller and William Vanderbilt, they don't have any common language with Hayes, and they already have a strong supporter, and it's almost impossible to get them to change their ways.

In the second round of voting, Hayes still killed James Garfield and joined hands with James Bryan to enter the final battle.

However, in the second round of voting, James Bryan has a large advantage, and if the situation does not turn around in the next two weeks, James Bryan will represent the Republican Party and run against the Democratic candidate for the 23rd president of the United States.

Although the situation was unfavorable, Li Mu was still full of confidence, and after the second round of voting, Li Mu decided to start the propaganda machine in advance to build momentum for Hayes.

"Starting tomorrow, all the resources will begin to tilt towards Hays, and the "Campaign Special Supplement" will begin to serialize Hays's campaign platform, and I want you to take out all the front-page headlines in the past six months, all of which will serve Hays." Li Mu summoned Sammy Larkin to Governor's Island to give him a face-to-face lecture.

After the Republican National Convention began, Time magazine added a "special campaign supplement" to serve the presidential election.

Previously, Time Magazine's position has always been impartial and will not actively favor any one candidate, and now that the election has entered the white heat, it is time for Time Magazine to take a stand.

"We have an agreement with James Bryan's office, and if we do that, we'll be passive, and maybe we'll have a lawsuit." Sammy Larkin is a little hesitant, who becomes president has little to do with him, but if there is a problem with Time Magazine's operation, then Sammy Larkin is responsible.

"Don't worry, if James Bryan wins, then he won't pursue that, and if he can't, there's no point in pursuing it." Li Mu ate James Bryan, and he was not afraid of Bo Gong at all.

If James Bryan wins, then he will have to face the competition with the Democratic candidate, which must be inseparable from the cooperation of Time magazine, so even if James Bryan is unhappy, then he can only endure it.

If it loses, it is simpler, and even if James Bryan's office takes Time Magazine to court and wins the case, then James Bryan will not be able to run for the Republican Party, which makes no sense at all.

What's more, before winning the final election, all Republicans should unite and work hard to defeat the Democratic Party, and any kind of pulling back at this time is unacceptable, and if James Bryan sues Time Magazine at that time, then James Bryan's reputation will be stinking.

"Okay, I'll set it up when I get back." Sammy Larkin didn't insist, anyway, he had already pointed out the possible consequences of a full-scale fall to Hayes, so that even if the worst result happened, Li Mu couldn't blame Sammy Larkin on his head.

Sammy Larkin had a high level of execution, and immediately arranged for someone to sort out the manuscript and adjust the layout that night, and began the first round of momentum for Hayes.

In fact, the manuscript is already ready, and even the typesetting work has been completed, and it only needs to be a few months in advance, and the printing can start immediately.

The focus of the first wave of the campaign was on Hayes's personal philosophy of governance, which was described in Time magazine as an upright and selfless man who was completely insulated from all kinds of nepotism, in contrast to Ulysses Grant, who was so old in the military.

In fact, compared with James Bryan, Hayes also has an advantage in this point, you must know that James Bryan was the former president of the House of Representatives, and the network is definitely much larger than Hayes, if James Bryan is elected president, then the US government still can't escape the cycle of nepotism.

If Hayes is elected, there will be no hidden danger in this regard, Hayes was the governor of Ohio before, and the relationship is limited to Ohio, even if Hayes will be rewarded for meritorious deeds in the future, there is not so much to do with Hayes to take care of.

This point is very important to the current Republican Party, and it is precisely because the Democratic Party has firmly grasped this point and pursued the Republican Party relentlessly that it has gained the advantage it now has, and if the Republican Party wants to maintain its advantage, then it must make a breakthrough in this regard.

Although everyone knows the crux of the Republican Party's current problem, it undoubtedly takes courage to change the status quo, and before that, neither James Bryan nor James Garfield dared to touch on this aspect, whether in public speeches or in interviews with reporters, they only dared to talk about their economic measures and promised how to bring the United States out of the abyss of economic crisis, and never dared to touch on this aspect.

The problem is that this is what the Republican Party is most hated about right now, and the American people urgently need the Republican Party to show the courage to change the status quo, rather than empty rhetoric.

That's right, although the Democratic Party won the House of Representatives, a considerable number of voters still pin their hopes on the Republican Party, corruption is a stubborn disease that the US government can hardly get rid of, even if the Democratic Party is replaced in power, there will be no fundamental improvement in a short period of time, on the contrary, if the Republican Party continues to be in power, then maybe the Republican Party will be somewhat restrained.

This "convergence" is not a discovery of conscience, but it takes a while to digest after eating, and if a new group of people comes to power at this time, then they may be even hungrier.

The next morning, all New Yorkers were surprised to find that almost all the mainstream media outlets, including Time, New York Daily, Manhattan Evening News, Boston Post, and so on, had front-page headlines about Hayes, and that all the news about James Bryan was nowhere to be found.

It's no surprise that this is the case, as Time has been expanding rapidly in the last year or two, and while developing itself, Time has grown into a huge news conglomerate through joint ventures and acquisitions.

"Time Magazine" has set up branches in all cities with a population of more than 100,000 people in the United States, and at least one local newspaper as a supplement, so that almost all American cities can easily buy the "Time Magazine" of the day, which is also Li Mu's confidence in launching a public opinion offensive.

The news media behaved so tendentiously that it immediately raised concerns in the James Bryan campaign office.

At noon that day, James Bryan personally called Sammy Larkin to inquire about the matter, and after asking to no avail, James Bryan invited Li Mu to afternoon tea through Arthur that afternoon.

Of course, Li Mu happily agreed, Western politics is very particular about "demeanor", and buying and selling is not benevolent and righteous, no matter who wins or loses, don't hurt the harmony in the end.

At 4 p.m., the third-floor balcony of Castle Clinton.

James Bryan was wearing a black tuxedo, and after sitting down angrily, he looked at Li Mu with an unkind gaze: "Reem, you really gave me a big problem..."

"Come on, you gave me this problem first, if you had agreed to my request, then these things would not have happened now." They have already met each other, and there is no point in denying it, Li Mu replied very simply.

"Hehe, the current situation just proves that the access system is absolutely impossible, look at today's newspapers, these guys who usually abide by neutrality, almost all of them are in unison, if you really set up an access system according to what you said, the result will be even more terrible." James Bryan is not here to surrender.

James Bryan had not realized the role of the news media before, and now James Bryan realized that he and his campaign may have made a big mistake.

"You only see the side that is not good for you, in fact, you should know very well that when all this is for you, then the result should be wonderful, of course the access system is not perfect, in fact, there is no system in this world that is immutable, if we find that there is a problem with the access system, then we can adjust it in the later stage, so that she slowly becomes perfect, instead of completely denying it like you, this is not the solution to the problem." Li Mu is still complaining about the access system, this thing is a double-edged sword, it depends on how you understand it.

"Now there is no point in us discussing this, even if I allow you to implement the access system, our relationship will not return to the past, so I came to you this time for only one purpose, I hope you can uphold the spirit of chivalry and have a fair and just competition with me, so that no matter who wins or loses, we at least have a clear conscience." James Bryan doesn't talk nonsense and puts his demands straight to the point.

"James, I have to remind you, what I want is not a clear conscience, I just want victory, we Chinese have a saying called success and defeat, in this war, there can only be one winner." Li Mucai will not be fooled, let that Raushzi "chivalry" to hell, Li Mu is only willing to smile on the throne of the victor, and is not willing to cry on the altar of the loser.

"You're such an honest nuisance!" James Bryan shook his head and smiled bitterly, he was not afraid of hypocrites, he was afraid of real villains.

"I take your words as a compliment to me, and I like to see you gritting your teeth at me, but you are helpless." Li Mu only felt a hint of happiness now, didn't you refuse very simply when you refused? Come on, let it go.

"Come on, we're not enemies, you better save your shameless methods to deal with the Democrats, even if you support Hayes, Hayes will lose this time, don't you think about the way back for yourself?" James Bryan still has the chance to win, and in the blink of an eye, he dug a hole for Li Mu.

"It's not certain who loses and who wins, I agree with what you just said, our relationship is not an enemy, and even after the third round of voting, no matter who wins between you and Hayes, we will join hands and fight to the death with the Democrats, but before that, I will definitely go all out, so that even if I lose in the end, I will definitely not regret it." Li Mu didn't avoid it completely, but only fell into it with half a foot.

"I know that I will lose in the end, but I still have to insist so much, why bother..."In the face of such a cunning Li Mu, James Bryan is also a big head.

"Not necessarily, even though you got the most votes in the last round of voting, it doesn't mean you're going to win all the time." Li Mu is highly motivated, and public opinion propaganda has just begun to emerge, and it has not yet fully exerted its power, so it is too early to say whether he will win or lose.

In the second round of voting, James Garfield has been out, so who will those who originally supported James Garfield will support, this will be the key to the third round of voting, if in these two weeks, Li Mu can win more supporters, then Hayes is completely likely to turn around.

James Bryan also knew this possibility, so after testing Li Mu's firmness, James Bryan immediately ended his contact with Li Mu.

At times like this, enlisting more supporters is king.

After James Bryan left, Li Mu smiled at Arthur: "How is it?" I told you not to make that early decision, but now I regret it..."

"If you had told me earlier that you supported Hayes, I wouldn't have had to suffer so much now." Arthur was in a bad mood.

Although it seems that James Bryan's winning chance is still relatively large, but because of Li Mu's participation, the originally clear result has become confusing, so Arthur really regrets it...

"It's okay, if you surrender now, we will still treat the captives preferentially..."Li Mu laughed, and proudly crossed his waist in front of Arthur, ready to receive the captive.

"Dreaming!" Arthur's face turned red, obviously unwilling to accept this result.

"Come on, come on, I've already talked to Mr. Governor, as long as you support Mr. Governor, then after Mr. Governor enters the White House, you can pick and choose the position in Washington at will." Li Mu drew a big cake for Arthur, regardless of whether he was hungry or not, at least he looked beautiful.

If Li Mu remembers correctly, after Hayes entered the White House, he personally removed Arthur from the post of Commissioner of Customs in New York.
