It's not that Li Mu looks down on the heroes of the world, it's really the reason why the Democratic Party itself is not angry and has no way to make Li Mu look up to it.

In the United States in the 19th century, the history of the entire country was only 100 years, and American-style democracy was also in the stage of crossing the river by feeling the stones, and only people like Li Mu, who knew 500 years before and 50 years later, would be familiar with the future direction of American-style democracy.

Before the Civil War, American democracy may still have a bit of a democratic meaning, and everyone sat down to discuss things carefully and jointly find a suitable solution.

The Civil War completely tore off the hypocrisy of American-style democracy, and since it is impossible to talk about it, then it is reasonable to have a big fist, and everyone will fight first.

After the Civil War, the American economy developed rapidly, large conglomerates gradually appeared, American politics gradually became a plaything of money, the president slowly became a mascot in front of the stage, and it was those Wall Street tycoons who really decided American politics.

Li Mu's confidence comes from Bi, he is now a Wall Street tycoon, and he is one of the largest.

After returning to New York, Li Mu plans to cultivate his self-cultivation and no longer worry about those troubles in Washington, who he loves, anyway, the Republican Party cannot lose in the past few years, no matter who comes to power, after all, he is a Republican, and he must always talk about some incense.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the new president looks at Li Mu and the Junma Group unpleasantly, it is not easy to deal with Li Mu and the Junma Group now, and you must be careful, if you are a little bit worse, you will be strongly attacked by Li Mu and the Junma Group.

In fact, self-cultivation is not bad, Governor's Island is isolated from the world, like a paradise, Li Mu closes the door here and becomes the emperor of the soil, no one can care about it.

Get up in the morning, ride a horse for exercise, walk the dog by the way, go to the headquarters of the Junma Group in the morning to sit for a while, or go to pick up a few subordinate companies to yo-yo, and it will be mixed up in the morning.

In the afternoon, he was responsible for being a designer for urban beauties and newly opened men's clothes, Li Mu racked his brains this time, preparing to form drawings of all the popular styles in his memory, so that at least he could ensure that urban beauties and men's clothes did not need to worry about backward styles within 50 years.

In the evening, the nightlife has just begun, and the sky is at its most colorful, barbecues, dinners, camping, night fishing...

As long as Li Mu is willing, there will always be endless fun...

At the same time as Li Mu's self-exile, the 23rd presidential election of the United States finally kicked off.

As with the information obtained by Li Mu beforehand, the incumbent President Ulysses Grant did not receive the nomination to represent the Republican Party in the general election.

Ulysses Grant himself certainly hoped to be re-elected for a second term, but he did not even get the chance to be nominated, which really dealt a big blow to Ulysses Grant, and it can be said that his political career has come to an end.

Although Li Mu was not surprised by this result, not everyone was prepared, such as Arthur, he did not expect that Ulysses Grant's support rate would be so low.

When the news of Ulysses Lanter's failure to win the nomination reached New York, Arthur rushed to Governors Island to discuss countermeasures with Li Mu.

From the time when Tweed was brought down, Li Mu's fate was closely linked to Arthur, these two people are really grasshoppers on a thread, and no one can leave anyone.

"What to do? Mr. President cannot be re-elected, and we are about to face a new president, who does not know who he is, who he inclives, who does not know his political ideas, who does not know his economic strategies, all in a mess..."Arthur was eager to dig out the grave of the revolutionary veterans who designed the American political system.

Once a gentleman and a courtier, the influence of the new president on Arthur is far greater than the impact on Li Mu, so Li Mu can not care who the new president is, and Arthur can't turn a blind eye.

"Don't worry, you're the highest chief executive in New York, I'm the richest man in New York, and whoever is president can't change that." Li Mu first reassured Arthur, Washington is too far away, Li Mu can't influence it now, and can't play a decisive role, but in New York, this one-third of an acre, the dragon has to be coiled, and the tiger has to lie down.

This is the confidence of the head snake of the earth.

Li Mu is right, don't look at Arthur is now a politician, and he must accept the leadership of Washington, but even if the new president does not like Arthur, the new president cannot use executive orders to oust Arthur from office, Arthur was elected by New York City voters one vote at a time, and the president's prestige in New York will not be greater than Arthur.

"That being said, but we have to be prepared, it's better to have less trouble, and I don't want some bastard to come on stage and make a mess." Arthur had little reverence for the new president to emerge, he was just afraid of the unknown.

Except for people like Li Mu, everyone will have an unknown fear of the future, but to a different extent.

In fact, Li Mu is sometimes confused, compared with the history that Li Mu is familiar with, the current historical trend has a little deviation, if this deviation continues to increase, then in the past ten years, Li Mu does not dare to say that the things he knows will definitely happen.

In other words, Li Mu was not sure whether the things he was familiar with would happen at the inherent time node, which might be earlier or later.

"This presidential election has taught me a truth..."Li Mu raised his chest and tucked his stomach and took a deep breath in his chair, thinking about his helplessness in Washington some time ago, Li Mu decided to do something.

"What's the truth?" Arthur's upper body was lying on the table, leaning forward violently, his eyes were staring at Li Mu urgently, hoping to get some definite news from Li Mu.

After getting to know Li Mu, almost all of what Li Mu brought to Arthur was good news.

Arthur still remembers when he first met Li Mu, he was still the commissioner of New York Customs, and the two gradually became closer because they wanted to support the Cubans against the Spaniards.

To tell the truth, Arthur didn't think that Li Mu had the ability to bring down Tweed, and Arthur even had some thoughts of watching the fire from the other side, waiting to see Li Mu unlucky.

As a result, Li Mu successfully overthrew Tweed, sent Arthur to the throne of New York City mayor, and really started Arthur's political career.

After Li Mu and Arthur cooperated to pit Tweed again, this time Arthur really had the confidence, and he no longer had to worry about money, and he completely tied himself to Li Mu's chariot.

For a long time, Li Mu's impression of Arthur was almost omnipotent, whether it was business competition or political strife, Li Mu always behaved with ease, and it was always Li Mu's enemies who were unlucky, this kind of thing happened again and again, so that Arthur sometimes even wondered if Li Mu lived God in his heart.

"We can't pin everything on others, instead of waiting passively, it is better to take the initiative, if you want to regret some things later, then we have to hold him firmly in our hands, such as the presidential election, instead of us worrying about whether the new president will cause us trouble, so why not control this matter firmly in the first place?" Li Mu has a strong desire to control, no matter what it is, Li Mu is not allowed to get out of control.

"You mean..." Arthur seemed to understand what Li Mu was saying, but he was not sure, although his expression was mixed with horror, but the difficult squirming Adam's apple fully expressed Arthur's longing.

"Yes, that's what you think, I hope that in the next presidential election, I can personally send my favorite candidate to power, instead of passively watching others come up with a few candidates first, and then choose one of these people as their own support, I don't like this feeling of helplessness, I don't like it at all." Li Mu gritted his teeth a little when he spoke, to be honest, Arthur had never seen Li Mu so out of shape.

"Of course, I don't like it either..."Arthur's eyes were misty, as if his entire body had been emptied, and he fell on the back of his chair, his eyes staring straight at the ceiling, not knowing what was going on in his head.

"Well, what do you think, by the time of the next presidential election, you've been mayor of New York for almost seven years, don't you have any ideas for going further?" Li Mu is like the poisonous snake on the tree, desperately tempting Arthur, the stupid Adam.

"Of course, I'd love to see if I can do something about it..."Arthur was clearly hooked, his voice a little shaky, but finally determined.

"Then we have to work hard in the next few years, you have to find a way to make enough political achievements, find more political allies, and gain higher political prestige, and what I want to do is to consolidate everything that the Junma Group currently has, more effectively control public opinion, find a way to influence more votes, as long as we work together, then I believe that after four years, all our efforts will not be in vain." Li Mu is ambitious and has a new outlook for four years from now.

This time Li Mushi was caught off guard, no matter what, Li Mu couldn't have imagined that Ulysses Grant didn't even have a chance to be nominated, which made all Li Mu's preparations impossible.

It will be different in four years, when Li Mu will have stronger strength and more complete preparations, Li Mu is looking forward to staging the return of the king at that time.

"Yes, I need political achievements, I need more political achievements, such as... For example, next year's World Expo, damn, I don't know who will be cheaper by then. Arthur was a little frustrated in his voice, and he felt like he was busy making wedding clothes for others.

"Even if it's a World's Fair, we can do other events that can also increase the impact of New York and you, like the National Car Rally, which is a good project, and ice hockey and rugby, which are in the pipeline, which are good projects that can be used to make headlines in the newspapers all year round, and you can't get noticed by people." Li Mu also made a bloody investment this time, not only to keep the name of New York's financial center, but also to build New York into a cultural center of the United States.

To build a cultural center, you really don't need much historical heritage, there is a way that culture and sports are not separated, sports are also a kind of culture, Li Mu doesn't want to promote universal education in the United States, so start with sports, anyway, sports activities in New York can also increase the cultural heritage of New York.

"Yes, if one game doesn't work, let's have ten, isn't it just throwing money, in terms of money, who will New York be afraid of?" Arthur was domineering, as if he saw that the presidential throne was beckoning to him, at this time, if anyone dared to find trouble, there was no need for Li Mu to make a move, Arthur would tear it to pieces with his own hands.

"In addition to organizing sports competitions, we need to build more libraries, museums, concert halls, opera houses, stadiums, squares, parks, etc., etc., and if possible, we should make New York a garden city that people don't want to leave, so that it can be a good example." When Li Mu was designing the prospect for New York, he did not forget to carry private goods, so many new venues always need manpower, and when it comes to architecture, who can compare to Junma Construction Company.

"Build! I'm going to go back and find someone to design and design a new city for me, and I'm going to build a city like no other. Arthur didn't feel distressed at all, and he didn't spend his money anyway, no matter how much he spent, in the end, the New York City government paid for it.

"If you want to build a new city, you'd better go to Mr. Governor, don't you think New York is too crowded right now? I didn't even want to go to Castle Clinton, and after spending so much time there, I felt like I was always going to be deprived of oxygen. Li Mu wants to get everything done at once, and the expansion of New York City is also imminent, regardless of whether it can be used now, let's occupy the territory first.

At present, in New York City, it refers to Manhattan and the surrounding urban agglomeration in a broad sense, and only Manhattan in a narrow sense, which is too small for the current population of New York City.

There is a certain historical reason for this, you must know that Manhattan is a small island, which is inconvenient for external transportation, and only one bridge in Brooklyn is currently under construction, which is far from meeting the transportation needs of Manhattan.

In Li Mu's view, there is still a lot of work to be done to turn Manhattan and the surrounding urban agglomeration into a whole, and on the Brooklyn side alone, I need at least 5 bridges, and then I need to supplement the ferry.

Compared with building a house, repairing bridges is more profitable, Jinqiao Yinlu, these businesses, of course, are also prepared for Junma Construction Company.

"Yes, it's really time to expand..."Arthur agreed with Li Mu's statement, although it was not as exaggerated as Li Mu said, but Arthur, as the mayor of the appointment, knew better how tight New York's municipal land had been.

If you weren't nervous, the main pavilion of the World's Fair wouldn't have been in Brooklyn.
