278 Toast to celebration

What's the best way to stink a politician?

It's not about pouring feces on him, it's about hyping up his personal privacy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

No one is perfect, as long as it is a person, there will be stains, and Tweed is the same, and compared to others, Tweed has a lot of stains, and Time Magazine doesn't even need to look for it, and can catch a lot of material casually.

"Trouble with the New York City - not good." Samuel didn't expect Li Mu to be so extreme.

That's right, although Samuel is the editor-in-chief of Time Magazine, after all, he is just an ordinary person and can't understand Li Mu's behavior.

In Samuel's view, it is definitely an irrational choice to find trouble with the city government in New York, Li Mu is a businessman, and if a businessman wants smooth sailing, he must first have a good relationship with the government.

It's different for Li Mu, although Tweed's power in New York is big, but it's not as big as Springfield's Amis, when he was in Springfield, Amis can be described as covering the sky with one hand, if it weren't for Li Mu taking advantage of the opportunity of Burnside's attack to suddenly kill Amis, it would definitely take a lot of effort to overthrow Amis.

This time is different, although Tweed is rich and powerful, but this is New York, is the financial center of the United States, countless people want to get ahead here, Tweed has a force no less than Tweed Arthur is eyeing him, and secretly I don't know how many people are waiting for the opportunity, as long as Li Mu provokes a war, all forces will appear one after another.

Tweed has been mayor of New York for ten years, and although he has a lot of power, he must have sinned against many people, who may not be able to bring Tweed down on their own, but they definitely don't mind falling into the trap.

"What are you afraid of, you are the uncrowned king." Li Mu is not worried about Tweed's small moves, New York is the center of the United States, and if you make small moves here, the price you pay will definitely be higher, Li Mu is not a simple businessman now, when he came back from Cuba, Li Mu brought more than 100 people just as a gunner, and there was also a battalion of soldiers from the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment on the way to New York, it was a regular army, not a gunman who was used to being alone, even if he started fighting, Li Mu was not afraid of Tweed.

"The Uncrowned King—hehe." Samuel shook his head and smiled wryly, visibly remembering some unpleasant memories.

Before meeting Li Mu, Samuel did think that reporters were uncrowned kings, but after meeting Li Mu, Samuel finally understood the fact that the so-called "uncrowned kings" were just an illusion touted by others, and when the real bigwigs wanted to deal with these "uncrowned kings", these "uncrowned kings" had no power to fight back at all.

Perhaps it is the secret push of these bigwigs that gives journalists the honorary title of "uncrowned king", because bigwigs need journalists to achieve their goals.

"Don't worry, no one can hurt you now, listen to me, if you perform well enough this time, then I can give you some time shares." Li Mu took the bait, and did not believe that Samuel would not bite the hook.

"Shares-" Samuel was visibly impressed.

As the editor-in-chief of Time Magazine, Samuel knows the future of Time Magazine, and to be honest, compared to the newspaper he built in Springfield, Samuel feels that only a newspaper of the size of Time Magazine is worthy of his ingenuity.

"yes, shares, if you do better in the future, then maybe you'll have a chance to go further, you know for sure, if somebody is unlucky this time, then the Senate and House seats in New York State will be vacant, as the editor-in-chief of Time Magazine, you're not hopeless, in fact, if you do well, you'll be one step ahead of everyone else." Li Mu continued to add oil and vinegar.

The source of politicians in the United States is complex, lawyers are one major aspect, media practitioners are another, the first president related to the media industry is the 29th president of the United States, Warren? Gamaliel? Harding, the other is the 35th president, John? Figirel? Kennedy.

The reason why newspaper people can become presidents is probably related to the resources they have; in those days, there was no radio or television, and newspapers and magazines were the main front for public opinion propaganda.

Samuel probably had never thought about this question before, and as soon as Li Mu's voice fell, he heard Samuel's heavy gasp: "it, I'll start looking for trouble with him tomorrow." ”

Samuel did not disappoint Li Mu.

While Li Mu and Samuel were calculating Tweed, in an office on the third floor of the New York City Government Office Building, New York Mayor Tweed was drinking with Henderson.

"Come on, let's celebrate the start of the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge, I told you a long time ago, don't bother those businessmen, they have powerful people behind them, they will always cause unnecessary trouble, and projects like the Brooklyn Bridge are what we should pay attention to." At nearly 60 years old, Tweed's toast initiative has reached this age, but Tweed is still quick thinking and remains the undisputed core of the New York Tweed Group.

"It's me who is too careless, these years of smooth wind and water have paralyzed me, I think a Chinese kid is no threat, he just has a little luck to make some money, such a person is the best fat sheep." Henderson apologized to Tweed, he didn't expect Li Mu's power to be so strong.

"I told you to be careful and low-key, you always don't care, how can that kid be an ordinary person, you know Amis, you know how terrifying Amis is in Springfield, even if it's me, I'm not sure I can kill Amis in Springfield, but that kid can, and he went to Cuba this year, although there is no report about him in the newspapers, but I clearly see someone's shadow from these coups in Cuba, don't doubt it, I'm sure, That guy named Rem must have played a role in this. Although Tweed had never met Li Mu, Tweed thought that Li Mu and him were the same kind of person, which was a compliment to Li Mu.

"Manipulating a country? That's appalling, isn't it? Henderson was dumbfounded.

Although arrogant, Henderson is not stupid, in fact Henderson is the key successor that Tweed has cultivated, and if there are no accidents, the next mayor of New York will be Henderson, not any of Tweed's three sons.

"Appalling? Not at all, in fact I already regret it, if anyone could control Cuba, that person would be me - now that you think about it, you have to admire the vision of that kid, he is so young that he can afford to lose, and at my age I don't have the courage to take risks. Tweed smiled wryly, probably in Tweed's opinion, Hero Twilight was like this.

"You're not old at all, Mr. Tweed, and it seems to me that you're still the same as you were ten years ago." Henderson is not a sycophant, in Henderson's heart, Tweed is a father-like existence.

"I'm glad you can say that, but I know my situation and the future is yours, so do a good job and don't let me down." Tweed looked so envious that he also saw Henderson as his own son.

"Reem has returned to New York, do you want me to make an appointment and have a good chat with him?" Henderson actively used his brains to repair the already broken relationship with Reem.

"No, if that kid is smart enough, he should know how to do it." Tweed is not in a hurry, he has been in the top position for a long time, Tweed naturally has Tweed's pride, in Tweed's eyes, even if Li Mu is a dragon crossing the river, he should come to New York to worship the dock first.

What Tweed didn't expect was that Li Mu didn't come to visit Tweed, and Tweed was waiting for a special report from Time Magazine -- some people, New York's urban moths.

"Time Magazine" listed a series of problematic municipal engineering projects in New York in recent years, these municipal engineering projects have a wide variety, from the construction of Central Park, the laying of water pipes, to the replacement of street tiles, the leasing of urban billboards, etc., covering all aspects of urban life, accounting for more than 10 percent of New York's municipal engineering projects in recent years, with a total project cost of more than 150 million US dollars.

Although Time did not name names, everyone who saw the newspaper knew that "certain people" were Tweed, the current mayor of New York and the current U.S. Senate senator.

What is even more shocking is that Time Magazine claims that they still have some evidence in their hands to prove that the contractor of the Brooklyn Bridge, which has just started construction, is suspected of bribery, and the total amount of bribes is about 10 million US dollars, and the total investment in the Brooklyn Bridge is only 25 million US dollars, which means that two-fifths of the project money is privately divided by some people.

The Brooklyn Bridge is the pride of New York, the bridge is 1,834 meters long, the bridge body is hoisted from the water by tens of thousands of steel cables 41 meters, after completion, it will be the world's longest suspension bridge, but also the world's first bridge built of steel, although just started, but the Brooklyn Bridge has been considered the eighth wonder after the seven ancient wonders of the world, known as one of the world's seven epoch-making architectural engineering miracles in the era of the industrial revolution.

The day after the Time magazine reported, some people began to gather in front of the New York City government, waving signs and shouting slogans such as "Tweed step down" and "punish the corrupt criminals", demanding that the New York City government give them an explanation.

As the citizens gathered, Tweed and Henderson stood in front of the office window, silently watching the excited crowd in front of the door.

At the Queen's Hotel, two kilometers away from the city hall, Li Mu and Arthur were toasting to each other.
