527 Think long-term
If you don't face the threat of the Horse Group, then I'm afraid no one can experience that helplessness and despair.
In the United States in the 19th century, it was really common to kill people on the street, not to mention an ordinary congressman, and even the president of the United States was shot in the street by a capable person, which shows how bad the law and order situation in the United States is.
Assassinations are not uncommon in the world, and the First World War was not triggered by the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand in the street, and it was still decades later, so you can imagine the political environment at this time.
In Houston there were people who were terrified because of the threat of the Stallion Group, no one in New York thought there was anything wrong with it, Texas was as far away as the moon to New Yorkers, Will's fears did not come true, what happened in Texas hardly caused any waves in New York, and there were not even newspapers and magazines to discuss it publicly, as if it had never happened.
In fact, Achill Theresa was a little overreacting, although Li Mu was not ready to stop there, but he didn't plan to kill it all, after all, if the Texas Cotton Farmers Association really closed its doors, then the horse clothing factory would have no place to compensate.
The day after Christmas, Li Mu finally received a telegram from Samuel Tilden.
"Hehe, if this telegram was sent three days ago, then maybe it would have some effect, now..." Li Mu casually threw the telegram in his hand onto the table in front of him, and the mockery in his words was obvious.
It seems that Samuel Tilden's ship is really a little slow, and it has just arrived in Miami this morning, so after Samuel Tilden learned the news, even though he had replied to Li Mu with a telegram for the first time, it still seemed too late.
Samuel Tilden may not have imagined that Li Mu's revenge would be so direct and violent, and in the telegram, Samuel Tilden hoped that Li Mu would exercise restraint and that Li Mu would give him a little time, and Samuel Tilden promised to resolve the matter satisfactorily.
"Anyway, Mr. Governor is no longer going to stay out of it, so now we can fight for a better compensation." Grover Cleveland's face was sad, trying to dispel the anger in Li Mu's heart.
Grover Cleveland is also a Democrat, as the chief legal counsel of the Horse Group, Grover Cleveland must be loyal to his duties, use his legal knowledge, protect the legitimate rights and interests of the Horse Group, and strive for more profits for the Horse Group, and at the same time, Grover Cleveland must make the Texas Cotton Farmers Association lose as little money as possible, and fulfill the duties of a Democrat.
So it's really hard to balance that, and if you're not careful, you'll cross the line, and then Grover Cleveland won't be a human being inside or out.
"Grover, I think you can just join the Republican Party, so you don't have to worry about it anymore." Li Mu casually dug into the corner, if he could win Grover Cleveland into the Republican camp, it would be regarded as Li Mu's greatest contribution to the Republican Party.
Grover Cleveland will serve two terms as president of the United States in the future, and it is not re-elected, but he will be re-elected after an interval of one term, which fully shows Grover Cleveland's personal ability, and now if Li Mu pulls Grover Cleveland into the Republican camp when Grover Cleveland has not yet made a career, then I am afraid that the Democrats will not know what they have lost at all.
Such an unaware operation will give Li Mu a sense of pleasure that everything is under control.
Grover Cleveland probably didn't expect Li Mu to be so explicit in his solicitation, and after being stunned for a while, Glover Cleveland spoke: "I'm sorry Ream, I can't do that right now, I've been nominated to the Democratic National Committee, so... I'm afraid I won't even be able to do the position of Chief Legal Representative of ZAMA Group for too long. ”
This news is indeed an accident, and it is Li Mu's turn to be entangled at this time, Li Mu actually has a feeling that stealing chickens and folding a handful of rice is not successful.
In fact, Li Mu ignored one thing, if Grover Cleveland did not serve as the chief legal representative of the Horse Group, then Li Mu still has the possibility of winning over Grover Cleveland, and it is precisely because of this chief legal representative of the Horse Group that Grover Cleveland is now a leader in the legal profession, and it is impossible for the Democratic Party not to notice this, so this can be regarded as Li Mu's cocoon.
"Congratulations, Grover..."Although Li Mu was surprised, he still sent his blessings.
In fact, many politicians in the United States are lawyers, not only because most of them are wealthy, but also because the profession of lawyers is inherently fair and just, so it is easy for lawyers to enter politics, at least much easier than other professions.
Of course, the above "fairness and justice" is only in the usual sense, but in fact, the reputation of American lawyers is very bad, even worse than that of an arms dealer like Li Mu.
Although the reputation of arms dealers is not good, there are not many places where they intersect with ordinary people, so ordinary people actually do not have much disgust with "high-level arms dealers" like Li Mu.
Lawyers are different, the US law stipulates that people must hire a lawyer as long as they fight a lawsuit, and the poor cannot afford to hire a lawyer, so they have no right to litigate, so the public does not have a good impression of lawyers, that is, a group of people who want money.
Well, it's actually a little better than the reputation of the arms dealers, because the arms dealers are a bunch of people who die.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ream, if you insist..."Grover Cleveland doesn't know where he will end up yet, but Glover Cleveland knows very well that if he hadn't worked at the Steed Horse Group during this time, it would have taken at least ten or eight years for Grover Cleveland to gain prestige if he wanted to enter the center of the Democratic Party.
For a moment, Grover Cleveland hesitated, it was a good thing to be in the Democratic National Committee, but if he offended Li Mu because of this, it would definitely be more than worth the loss.
"Don't worry about Grover, how can I hinder your future for my own selfishness, if you are worried about the future, then I can give you a promise now, if you are not happy in the Democratic National Committee, then the Horse Group will open the door for you at any time..." ”
In fact, strictly speaking, this is no longer a threat, Li Mu is ready to run Sammy Larkin into the Senate next year, so that Sammy Larkin will also resign as editor-in-chief of Time Magazine, and then Li Mu will correct Thomas Nast.
Thomas Nast is now deputy editor-in-chief of Time Magazine, and Thomas Nast is more technical than Sammy Larkin, and although he may not be as skilled in management skills as Sammy Larkin, he has a far greater reputation in journalism than Sami Larkin.
When he tore his face with Tweed, if it weren't for Thomas Nast's comics, then it is estimated that Li Mu would not have won so easily, Thomas Nast has now become a leading figure in the American comic industry, a well-known cartoonist in the United States, and has a certain reputation all over the world, which is far from being as good as Sammy Larkin.
It is precisely because of the existence of Thomas Nast that Li Mu can send Sammy Larkin into the political arena without any scruples, thanks to the reasonable construction of the professional manager echelon of the Junma Group, as long as various rules and regulations can be strictly implemented, it can provide a steady stream of talents for the Junma Group.
For the current Junma Group, there are two people who are irreplaceable, one is Li Mu, and the other is Henry, the general manager of the Junma Group.
"Ream, thank you very much." Croford Cleveland was a little excited, and he stepped into the role quickly: "Rest assured, I won't leave until this matter is satisfactorily resolved." ”
It is reasonable to say that Grover Cleveland should have a beginning and an end, not to mention that Grover Cleveland will also give an explanation to the top of the Democratic Party through this matter, proving that he is not too deeply involved with the Horse Group and can serve the Democratic Party wholeheartedly, so Grover Cleveland will definitely deal with this matter from an absolutely fair standpoint, which does not need to be worried by Li Mu.
However, Li Mu also wants to show his attitude, 24 worship, and he doesn't care about this trembling, since he wants to leave a good impression on Grover Cleveland, then he will simply do a full set of plays, so Li Mu is also sincere: "Grover, if this matter will make you embarrassed, then you must not be reluctant, trust your colleagues, they will not let you down." ”
The legal department of the Horse Group is not just Grover Cleveland, the legal department of the Horse Group has a team of more than 30 people, even without Grover Cleveland, the Horse Group still has the ability to ensure its own interests.
Sending Grover Cleveland away, Li Mu sat at his desk and secretly calculated.
Grover Cleveland is a shadow buried by Li Mu in the Democratic Party, and if he wants to play a role, he will have to wait until more than ten years later, and he will still rely on Samuel Tilden to solve the current problems as soon as possible.
According to the news that Li Mu has gotten so far, the Texas Cotton Farmers Association must be soft, and the only uncertainty now is the problem of paying more and paying less, so the problem is simple, Li Mu has nothing now, and the poor only have money left, so it doesn't matter how much compensation he can get from the Texas Cotton Farmers Association, the important thing is to let some people understand through this matter that the Junma Group is not easy to mess with, which is the most important thing.
Considering the relationship between Li Mu and Grover Cleveland, it doesn't matter if Li Mu doesn't want any compensation, but if he does that, the result is likely to backfire, so Li Mu is ready to give Samuel Tilden a face.
"What are you thinking?" Gloria brought Li Mu a cup of coffee, gently put it in Li Mu's hand, and then walked around Li Mu's back and massaged Li Mu's shoulders.
This almost flattered Li Mu a little, you must know that usually only in the first snow, Li Mu can enjoy such treatment, Gloria This is the first time in the world.
"Relax, I can't pinch your muscles so tightly." Gloria's technique was still quite rusty, and it didn't make Li Mu feel relaxed, but made Li Mu feel a little nervous.
"I'm sorry..."Li Mu tried to relax himself as much as possible, it was rare for Gloria to take the initiative to show favor, Li Mu always wanted to give people a chance to practice.
It's not easy enough, Gloria has almost never had the experience of serving people since she was a child, and now she is willing to learn massage for Li Mu, no matter what other people's techniques are, this intention Li Mu is the essential, it is estimated that Will has never enjoyed Gloria's massage.
"Will and Claudia are getting engaged on March 1st, have you figured out what to give them?" Gloria chatted with Li Mu while pressing.
"What do you want to send? All they need is our blessings, so there's no need to prepare for that. Li Mu can think about it, anyway, Will and Claudia don't lack anything, let's have some moral support, it doesn't cost money or bother to think about it, and it is guaranteed to satisfy Will and Claudia.
"We all send blessings? Won't you pay enough attention..."Gloria is not as free and easy as Li Mu, although Gloria is sure that Will will not mind, but Gloria is not sure if Claudia will mind.
"It's what I want to send blessings, if you want, we can both send one, otherwise you can think of your gift yourself." Li Mucai doesn't want to bother with his brains, he is intriguing with people on weekdays, and he is already tired of countless brain cells, so it's better to go home and make it simpler.
"I don't want to, you help me think about it." Gloria really couldn't be serious for three minutes, and she was about to get better, but she immediately picked up.
"Okay, okay, I'll think..."Li Mu surrendered immediately, saying that after Will and Claudia get engaged, it is estimated that it will not be long before Li Mu and Gloria will get engaged, so it is the fiancé's duty to serve his fiancée, which is unavoidable.
"If you want to be simpler, then it's best to send some more memorable, if you want to send benefits, then simply transfer some of the shares in your name to Xiao Wei..."
The addition of a new member to the family is a happy event, but it can also cause some disputes, especially for a family with a strong financial power like the Barrons, and the distribution of property is almost an insurmountable hurdle.
Well, it's a question that really has to be considered in the long run.
