137 Dangerous

If there is a group of Chinese on the Cuban side who are leading the uprising, then it is not said, as long as it is within Li Mu's ability, how many guns and how many guns are needed, and even how much money is needed, this is no problem, although Li Mu cannot personally charge into battle, but he can still do his best for overseas Chinese. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Don't do anything else, just for this incense.

The current Cuban uprising is obviously led by a group of whites, to put it bluntly, it is the same as the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom, Spain wants to continue to suck Cuban blood and feed Spain, an empire that is declining day by day, and Cuban whites are unwilling to continue to pay for the moths in Spain, so there is this Rausch "Republic of Cuba".

In this process, in order to fight for their own rights, of course, the Chinese will also rebel against the rule of the Spaniards, but after the war, the Chinese lose their use value, and the extent to which the rights and interests of the Chinese can be guaranteed is still a question, Li Mu does not want to be a Kaizi, so no matter how righteous Santos is in their cause, if Santos does not pay, Li Mu will not give a gun.

Well, that's in line with the business logic of a successful businessman.

"Burnside, you've got me a good business, why are these guys clearly trying to empty the gloves of the white wolf, do I look like Kaizi?" Li Mu stopped talking to Santos and went to Burnside to complain.

"Ah, Reem, there are also a lot of Qing people in there, don't you want them to have a better life?" Burnside seemed casual, his eyes dark.

Chinese――

Li Mu suddenly raised his vigilance, if this was said by Santos, it would be reasonable to win Li Mu's support, but now that it came out of Burnside's mouth, Li Mu felt very wrong.

Looking at Burnside's gaze again, there was a hint of ferocity in the scrutiny, and Li Mu immediately understood.

"Of course, I hope that the Qing people will live well, but it must be on the premise of not endangering my interests, if you say so, should I return to the Qing Empire and scatter my wealth to lead the people of the Qing Empire to rebel against the rule of the Manchu nobles? Don't be funny, okay, I'm an American like you now, will you donate your money to your former home country? Li Mu was vigilant and did not leave any excuses for Bournside.

Burnside is indeed a native of the United States, but if you count the generations, Burnside's ancestors must have also immigrated, and the United States is originally a country of immigrants, so Li Mu is not wrong to say so.

Li Mu is now very sure that the US government in these years is very black, and officials like Burnside basically have no bottom line, if Li Mu is "in Cao Ying's heart in Han", then Li Mu's fate will be very miserable, even if Li Mu is "bounty hunter", "great inventor" and other titles are useless.

In other words, Li Mu's current strength is not strong enough, if an official like Burnside deals with Li Mu, Li Mu basically has little power to fight back, think about the Bert Philemon who was burned down just because he didn't sponsor the lottery, unless Li Mu has the strength of the Morgan family, Rockefeller, and Carnegie in the twentieth century, Li Mu will have to be a man with his tail between his legs.

It seems that Li Mu's answer is indeed very satisfactory to Burnside, Burnside looked at Li Mu for a while, and then chuckled and said: "You have applied for a patent for smokeless gunpowder, and you will become one of the few billionaires in the United States, and it is normal to take out some of the money to do good deeds——"

Li Mu suddenly realized that it was because of smokeless gunpowder.

One thing is for sure, smokeless gunpowder is so important that it has reached the point where it is a matter of national security, and the New York Patent Office will definitely report such an important invention to the central government.

The more special point is that the inventor of smokeless gunpowder is Li Mu, and Li Mu has just become an American citizen, so how loyal Li Mu is to the United States is very important.

Burnside also did not expect Li Mu to be 100% loyal to the United States, as long as Li Mu was mercenary, it was enough, and Burnside believed that the mercenary Li Mu could get everything he wanted in the United States.

From this point of view, that Santos is really a "trust", if Li Mu hesitated a little just now, maybe waiting for Li Mu will be an endless bars.

No wonder Burnside wants to take Will, it's really deliberate.

Thinking about this layer, although it was the middle of winter, the clothes on Li Mu's back were still soaked in cold sweat in an instant, it was really too dangerous!

Since Burnside didn't order anyone to come in and get people, it meant that Li Mu had passed the test preliminarily, and Li Mu still tried his best to make himself look defenseless: "Cut--you only saw that smokeless gunpowder will make a profit, but you don't know how much money I spent on this, I almost went bankrupt, you know--besides, I don't plan to open a factory to produce smokeless gunpowder, it's a bit too troublesome, I only plan to collect royalties, so it's certain that I can make some money, but it's still a long way from the few monopoly." ”

It must be said that Li Mu's age is very confusing, if he changes people, maybe Burnside is now skeptical, but Li Mu's body is only a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, even if he adds the addition of the beard on his face, he is at most fifteen or sixteen years old, who has so many eyes for fifteen or sixteen-year-old children.

"Very clever approach, believe me, you will definitely become one of the few billionaires in the United States-" After hearing that Li Mu did not open a factory and was only going to collect royalties, Burnside's expression was obviously much more relaxed.

"Then I'll lend you a good word -- but I'm not going to give the Cubans a few good words of my factory for free, you know, I just signed a contract with the War Department, and to be honest, my factory can't get any extra products right now." When Li Mu said this, his heart suddenly sank again.

Yes, not only smokeless gunpowder, but also the contract with the Ministry of War, Li Mu's factory has now joined the supplier sequence of the US War Department and has become a partner of the US War Department.

"Okay, okay, don't complain, and didn't say that you will give it away for nothing, the Rifle Association will pay to buy weapons from your Horse Arms Company, it's okay if your factory doesn't have production capacity, there are so many factories in Springfield, you can always find it-" It seems that Li Mu passed the assessment, and Burnside began to appease Li Mu.

That's right, that's the attitude of doing business.
