In the world of politicians or businessmen, there are actually no very clear political boundaries, when standing on the stage for a show, of course, Ding is Ding Mao is Mao, and everyone in the audience is actually a harmonious atmosphere, and there are many irresolute elements who temporarily change party membership when the wind is not right, and private banquets do not need to be branded with a clear political brand, and James Garfield can still accept political donations from the Democratic Party, saying that there is no position to blame anyone.
Of course, no one spoils the scenery, Governor's Island is Li Mu's private territory, no one is uncomfortable here, even if someone slanders him, he can only hold it back, and saying the right thing on the right occasion is the basic quality of a successful businessman and politician.
In order to let the guests eat and drink well, Li Mu also put a lot of thought into it, all kinds of top ingredients and fine wine and cigars needless to say, in order to satisfy people, almost all the top chefs in New York were invited by Li Mu to Governors Island, and those who can't get the invitation tonight are estimated to be sad.
It doesn't matter, almost all the people who are qualified to go to the big restaurant to eat signature dishes are on Li Mu's invitation list, and those who are not qualified can't feel the difference, as for those who are excluded from Li Mu's invitation list, Li Mu won't care if their dinner will be enjoyable.
As the "city boss" of New York, this is the first time Li Mu has held such a large-scale dinner on Governors Island, there are really a lot of guests who come in advance, from six o'clock in the evening, wave after wave of guests began to arrive on Governors Island, Li Mu, as the host, should be greeted at the door, but Li Mu did not have this time, Henry and Arthur were arrested by Li Mu by Li Mu, fortunately, the weight of these two people is heavy enough.
"I've already started to build a drilling team, I'll go to Vladivostok next month, and it's better that the oil fields you said are true, or we'll lose a lot." Rockefeller came to Li Mu's office early and discussed with Li Mu how to develop Vladivostok's oil.
If he could, Rockefeller didn't want to bring Li Mu, but the news that Vladivostok had oil was revealed by Li Mu, considering Li Mu's power in the Far East, it was really impossible for Rockefeller not to bring Li Mu to play together.
The treasure hunt for Lake Guadavia has basically ended, and the drilling team has sifted through every centimeter of silt at the bottom of Lake Guadavia, and finally found more than 15,000 pieces of gold, the largest of which are four gold men one and a half meters high, and the total value of the treasure is more than 300 million US dollars.
Now that the treasure hunt has ended, then the drilling team has also ended its mission, Standard Oil promised the Colombian government when it was very happy, and it was even happier when it withdrew, and the Colombian government also expressed regret to Rockefeller, in fact, Rockefeller did not regret it at all, his gold museum finally saved enough exhibits, just diagonally opposite Li Mu's horse museum, covering an area larger than the horse museum.
"Don't be too happy, the demand for oil is still limited, and increasing oil production will not necessarily increase our income." Li Mu didn't pay attention to the oil in Vladivostok at all, the market supply and demand are there, and it is not a good thing to find too much oil.
In these years, the demand for oil is still limited, the world is also in the United States because of the car, the demand for oil is increasing, the demand for oil in other markets is not large, even Europe is only maintaining a slow growth attitude, according to the current scale of standard oil, enough to meet the world's demand for oil, so it is of little significance to add more oil wells.
Of course, Rockefeller also knows this problem, Rockefeller will definitely not do stupid things such as increasing the supply of oil, but the price of oil products will fall, the nature of capitalists, they would rather pour milk into the river than sell it at a lower price, and whether ordinary people have enough lamp oil at home has nothing to do with Rockefeller.
"Come on, I'm not stupid, even if I find an oil field in Vladivostok, I won't exploit it, first as a reserve of standard oil, and when you sell cars to the world, I will mine Vladivostok oil." Rockefeller is still very complaining about Li Mu, now most of the patents of the car are in the hands of Li Mu, after the annexation of the Vanderbilt Automobile Factory, Li Mu almost monopolized the world's automobile production, in order to maintain profits, Li Mu is very stingy with the authorization of automobile patents, although the production capacity of Junma Automobile has been increased to the extreme, but it is still unable to meet the market demand, so Rockefeller has many reasons for dissatisfaction with Li Mu.
Of course, this stinginess is also temporary, now the output of the horse automobile factory is not high, as long as the car is produced, it is not afraid of not being able to sell, the future of the American market sooner or later will reach a bottleneck, at this time in addition to price reduction, it is necessary to develop new markets, and because of the British government's boycott of the Junma Group, the products of the Junma Group can not enter the Commonwealth market, this defect is very fatal, if Li Mu wants to make money from the British, he must think of other ways, and then want to borrow the soul of the rose company to enter the British market is unrealistic, The British government will not allow this to happen again.
"Don't worry, I'm working on building factories in San Francisco and Europe, and at the end of next year, there will be a qualitative increase in car production." Li Mu is also no way, to increase the production of automobiles is not Li Mu alone, road traffic conditions, steel production capacity, supporting facilities, etc., are restricting the output of automobiles, Junma Construction Group has been busy building roads all over the world in recent years, but it always takes a process, quantitative change to achieve qualitative change.
The car factory in San Francisco is still wholly owned by Li Mu, but the European factory is a joint venture with the French, in fact, the best partner is the Germans, but considering the relationship between the British and the Germans, it is still the most suitable for France, which seems to be less threatening, at least Germany's hostility towards France is not so strong.
This is true, although the contradictions between Germany and France cannot be reconciled, but after the Franco-Prussian War, the fiasco of France was enough to relieve the Germans, and in a short time, there should be no war between Germany and Britain and France.
"That's the best, anyway, Mobil Oil also has your shares, you can do it." Rockefeller also has confidence, cross-holding is good for this, everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, Mobil Oil makes money, and Li Mu's dividends will also rise.
Finally sent Rockefeller away, James Garfield, who came to Li Mu's office, also complained: "Vladivostok was established too late, if it could be a year or two earlier, we would have more chances of winning, Jerome made a model, saying that it can predict the outcome of the election, but as a result, my votes are not as many as Samuel's, can this be more ridiculous?" ”
Jerome is a member of James Garfield's campaign office, and is said to be a mathematician, but judging from the model prediction results, it seems that Jerome is also unworthy of the name, and the model may be able to fool Arthur, but it is not okay to fool James Garfield, James Garfield is also a mathematician, and after graduating from college, he returned to his alma mater, Hiram College, to teach, teaching advanced mathematics.
"I'll find someone to make a model for you tomorrow, and you must be the unanimous winner." Li Mu casually teased, estimating that Jerome was going to be unlucky.
"You'd better focus on propaganda, some Democrats have been trying to pull you into the Democratic camp recently, what do you think?" James Garfield is here to vaccinate Li Mu, Li Mu's personal position doesn't matter, the key is that Li Mu controls "Time Magazine" and the radio that has just appeared, which is too terrifying.
If Time Magazine's control over traditional print media is not so strong, in the field of broadcasting, Li Mu's influence is incomparable.
Broadcasting is a new product researched by the horse laboratory, it can be said that there is no semicolon in the world, during the Olympic Games, the radio broadcast the Olympic Games throughout the whole process, people who can not be present in person crowded under the electric horn to listen to the radio scene has become the scenery of the streets of New York, many European delegation officials have a strong interest in radio, began to contact with the newly established broadcasting company, it is foreseeable that it will not be long before the broadcast will be popular all over the world, relative to the traditional paper media, Radio has a stronger influence and will play an increasingly important role in future presidential elections.
Before the advent of broadcasting, in the face of Time Magazine's advantage in traditional print media, the Democratic Party could still resist it, although the Democratic Party's newspapers could not be compared with "Time Magazine", but relying on the Democrats across the country, there was still a good sales; After the advent of the radio, the Democrats completely realized that in the field of public opinion propaganda, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party have fallen behind in an all-round way, which is why Grover Cleveland openly showed favor to Li Mu when he voted in Congress.
At least not so obvious in public.
"Well, it's not the first time they've said that, since the last presidential election, I've had Democrats and I, and Mr. Samuel Tilden has had dinner with me, but so what? I'm doing well in the Republican Party, and my friends are all Republicans, unless one day I'm disappointed in the Republican Party. Li Mu spoke very brightly, and he did not promise that he would never leave the Republican Party, and no one could say for sure what would happen in the future.
To be honest, Li Mu has no prejudice against the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, but because when Li Mu first arrived in the United States, Will was a staunch Republican, so Li Mu chose the Republican Party.
Over the years, the impression left by the Republican Party on Li Mu is actually not good, ideological conservatism, political fat, nepotism, corruption, etc., are all stubborn diseases that the Republican Party cannot get rid of, so that on the whole, in fact, the Democratic Party that advocates political reform and civilian politics is more in line with Li Mu's expectations, but for now, Li Mu also has vested interests as a Republican, so Li Mu has no idea of changing the status quo for the time being, and James Garfield has no need to worry at all.
"The Republicans will never let you down, the Democrats are a bunch of losers and conspirators, and they will never get on the table." James Garfield is very confident, this is also the voice of most Republicans at present, since the Civil War, Republicans have not taken the Democratic Party to heart, even if the Democratic Party won the majority of congressional seats in the past few years, Hayes still won the election, which gives many Republicans a false impression that the United States seems to have become a one-party dictatorship.
Li Mu knows that if the Republican Party leadership led by James Garfield does not pay attention to this issue, then in the next election, the Democratic Party will defeat the Republican Party, break the Republican Party's monopoly on the presidency after the Civil War, and Grover Cleveland will become the president of the United States, which will also be the first rout of the Democratic Party after the Civil War.
Although he knows that the problem is very serious, Li Mu will not remind James Garfield, even if Li Mu reminds, James Garfield will not necessarily pay attention to it, but it will affect Li Mu's weight in the hearts of James Garfield and others, for Li Mu, if it is Grover Cleveland as the president of the United States, it doesn't matter, with the relationship between Li Mu and Grover Cleveland, Li Mu's interests will not be damaged because of Grover Cleveland's presidency, maybe in order to win Li Mu's support at that time, Grover Cleveland may take special care of Li Mu,
"Let's talk about Vladivostok, Russia's withdrawal from Vladivostok will definitely destroy the port and municipal facilities of Vladivostok, so the current Vladivostok is equivalent to a ruin, if you want to restore the vitality of Vladivostok as soon as possible, attract more immigrants, and play a role in the next presidential election, the necessary financial assistance and policy support are indispensable, Mr. Rutherford will not care about the future of Vladivostok, what will you do after you win the election?" Li Mu has expectations for James Garfield, even though the US government has now begun to rely on borrowing to survive, the US government is still the best fiscal government in the world, as long as James Garfield is willing, Vladivostok has a promising future.
"Of course, when I enter the presidential palace, I will urge Congress to allocate funds to Vladivostok, not only Vladivostok, but also Sakhalin and Alaska, since it is the territory of the United States, then people should live and work in peace and contentment, as long as the conditions are met, there will be support." James Garfield must be giving what he wants now, as for whether it will be implemented at that time, it depends on the relationship between Li Mu and James Garfield.
"Hehe, then let's wait and see, I believe Vladivostok will not let us down." Li Mu is not in a hurry, he will see the hearts of the people for a long time, even if James Garfield breaks his promise in the future, Li Mu is not worried, don't forget that as long as James Garfield wins, it will be Arthur who will be the vice president.
