People living in the 21st century probably can't understand the power of disease in the 19th century.

The Black Death in the 14th century decimated Europe's population by more than one-third, and the Spanish flu in the early 20th century infected about one billion people worldwide, with about 25 million to 40 million of them dead.

You must know that the total population of the world at that time was only 1.7 billion.

Knowing this data, the power of infectious diseases is on paper.

As Yang Wei expected, the Ryukyu official replied to the Japanese Humpty Dumpty after a brief phone call with "Pan Tingzhen" across the wall, but he didn't get a chance to get close to Humpty Dumpty, Humpty Dumpty was eight feet away from the Ryukyu official, and after confirming the condition of "Pan Tingzhen", Humpty Dumpty forced the Ryukyu official to stay in Putian to continue to observe, and he took a few guards to go away despite the sad call of the Ryukyu official.

The Ryukyu official suddenly fell to the ground and cried like an abandoned woman, beating his chest so that he was not sad.

This scene is actually a little embarrassing, but as the initiator, Yang Wei did not feel the slightest embarrassment, not only did he not mean to persuade from the side, but Shi Shiran watched the show until Yang Bang hurriedly ran over.

"Brother, a boat is coming..."Yang Bang's voice trembled, and he whispered in Yang Wei's ear.

"Is it Uncle Pan?" Yang Wei's pupils suddenly dilated, like a tanuki that had discovered its prey.

"I don't know yet, it's a foreigner's iron boat, there is no flag, there is no sail on the ship, and there is no paddle wheel." Yang Bang could not determine the ownership of the incoming ship.

"Let's go, let's see." Yang Wei picked up his robe and walked away.

When Yang Wei and Yang Bang came to the cliff, the strange-looking iron boat had already docked at the bottom of the cliff.

There were more than a dozen figures on the deck of the iron ship, two of them were in long robes and short coats, and the others were dressed in short clothes similar to foreigners, Yang Wei recognized at a glance that the one in the middle was Pan Tingzhen.

"Put the hanging basket, put the hanging basket!" Yang Wei was overjoyed, rolled up his sleeves and began to work, personally putting down the hanging basket.

When the basket was raised again, there were two people sitting in the basket, one of whom was Pan Wenli and the other was a blonde white man.

"Wenli, this is..."Yang Wei didn't care about greetings, and there was suspicion and vigilance in his eyes when he looked at the white man.

Since the Opium War in 1840, the reputation of white people in East Asia has deteriorated, and Asians are afraid and hated white people, hating white people for doing all kinds of evil, and afraid that even the Qing Empire, the boss of East Asia, is no match for white people, and other countries are powerless to fight.

For Yang Wei, although there was no pain in the invasion of the whites, he was also Chinese, and because of what happened to the Qing Empire, Yang Wei also felt cold lips and teeth.

"Viagra, this is Ensign Hunter from the United States... Oh no, it's Mr. Hunt now, and Mr. Hunt came to help us on Mr. Reem's orders. Pan Wenli's mouth changed quickly.

Hunter, Reem, Yang Wei only felt that the more he listened, the more confused he became, but now is not the time to ask the bottom of it, as long as they are friends, Yang Wei will treat each other politely.

Hunter was in no mood to be polite, and before Yang Wei could give a salute, Hunter asked Pan Wenli: "So, can you be sure that it is safe now?" ”

"Yes, safe." Pan Wen nodded with force.

Hunter greeted Yang Wei first, and then turned around and took out a silver-white whistle and blew it vigorously.

Backbite......

The sound was indeed very loud, even more boring than the knowledge on the trees in the summer, and Yang Wei only felt that his ears were buzzing.

The hanging basket was quickly put down again, and then Pan Tingzhen and Bai Qi came up.

"Captain Yang, look up for a long time..."Bai Qi is still as serious as ever, even if he is full of smiles, it makes people feel like falling into an ice cave.

"Don't dare, General Bai has worked hard from afar..."Yang Wei said casually.

"Don't, I'm not a general, you can just call me Advisor Bai." White and positive, this time it is really not polite.

Before boarding the ship, Li Mu had already determined the terms of reference of Bai Qi, no matter how much movement the Ryukyus could make, Bai Qi and they would not sing the leading role, and the leading role could only be the Ryukyu locals.

So Bai Qi first stated at the first meeting that he was just a consultant.

"Dawei, you choose 200 strong, take the white advisors to the small roundabout, and follow the orders of the white advisors." Pan Tingzhen entered the role quickly, and she didn't want to waste a minute.

"Little roundabout..."Yang Wei's face was embarrassed.

Kokokodo is an uninhabited island located in the Southern Ryukyu Islands, about 150 kilometers from the main island of the Ryukyus, with an area of about 30 square kilometers, and there are mountains on the island, the highest peak is about 500 meters above sea level, in addition to rivers, plains and large pine forests.

Although there is fresh water on the island, which is suitable for human habitation, there is no fishing ground near the island, so the island is currently uninhabited.

"You don't have to bring anything, when you get to the island, everything is at the command of Advisor Bai." Pan Tingzhen doesn't want to go into too much detail now, and will slowly explain to Yang Wei when he has time.

"Yes." Although Yang Wei had doubts in his heart, he didn't ask much.

Just when Yang Wei and Pan Tingzhen were talking, the hanging basket kept going up and down, and more than 20 capable Chinese people came up along the hanging basket, and then it was a sturdy wooden box, although I don't know what the box contained, but looking at the nervousness of those strange Chinese, the things in the box should be extraordinary.

"Come on! Pry open. Pan Tingzhen casually pointed to a wooden box and motioned for Yang Wei to open it.

Yang Wei couldn't hold it anymore, so he casually pulled out the dagger in his boots and pried the wooden box open in three or two clicks.

Lifting the lid of the box and pulling away the straw, Yang Wei was greeted by ten brand-new rifles.

The black rifle exuded a faint smell of gun oil, which was originally pungent in gun oil, but it smelled so refreshing to Yang Wei that Yang Wei's pupils dilated to the extreme in an instant.

"It's... This..."Yang Wei was inexplicably surprised, wanting to confirm, but couldn't believe it.

"This is all ours, it was given to us by Mr. Li Mu, from now on, you must remember this name." Pan Tingzhen was in tears, like a homeless child who finally felt the warmth of his family.

"Li Mu... I remembered. Yang Wei didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment, he wanted to scream excitedly, and wanted to kneel on the ground and cry, although Yang Wei didn't know who Li Mu was, but Yang Wei was extremely sure of one thing, from now on, they no longer need to bow to anyone.

When Yang Wei was in a complicated mood, Li Mu was stroking his palms and laughing.

With few surprises, the Kufma team, which had a poor qualifying finish, won again and took the top three of the Tour of America in New York with an unprecedented victory.

First place went to last year's overall champion Phantom Racing, second place went to BMW Racing, third place went to Times Racing, and Standard Oil Racing finished fourth, almost five minutes behind the first-place Stefacial.

The whole rally was nearly two hours long, and the five-minute difference didn't sound like much, but it was actually desperate, so when the final results came out, Rockefeller's expression was very ugly.

"Ream, are you trying to turn the Tour of America into a game between your horse teams? If that's the case, then you can just play it yourself..."Looking at the triumphant Li Mu, Rockefeller was very unhappy.

"Cut, who to scare? If you don't want to play, quit and no one will stop you. Li Mu is not afraid of the threat of Rockefeller at all, and now the Tour of America has become a golden doll, even if Li Mu wants to drive Rockefeller away, Rockefeller may not leave.

Last year's National Rally didn't lose money, but it didn't make any money, and this year's National Rally was different.

After a year of gestation, the National Automobile Rally has burst into strong vitality from the first stop, and its crazy ability to attract gold even Rockefeller feels jaw-dropping.

Two months ago, the National Rally ordered a batch of souvenirs from the Horse Apparel Factory, including mascot dolls, team flags and car models, as well as various household items bearing the National Rally logo, including teacups, bed sheets, blankets, hats, scarves and more.

According to the organizing committee of the National Automobile Rally, if you want to buy a complete set of souvenirs, it will cost about $40.

What is the concept of $40? If you save a little money, it is enough for a family of three to live for half a year, so for the sales of these souvenirs, to be honest, it is not favored.

At this time, Li Mu played a decisive role and ordered 500,000 sets from the Junma clothing factory.

What is the concept of 500,000 sets?

With the current production capacity of the horse apparel factory, it will take a full year to produce 500,000 sets of souvenirs.

So before the start of the National Rally New York, the organizing committee only got 100,000 sets of finished products.

Surprisingly, the 100,000 sets of souvenirs were snapped up by avid audiences as soon as they were put on the market.

The enthusiasm of the audience almost scared everyone, a model of a Phantom car, the price was as high as 9.99 US dollars, when Li Mu announced this price, everyone once thought Li Mu was crazy.

Reality gave those who questioned Li Mu a hard slap in the face, and the first batch of 5,000 models on the market were all sold out in less than an hour, and after these models were sold, a considerable number of them were transferred a second time, and the average price at this time was as high as $20.

Immediately, it was suggested to the organizing committee to raise the selling price, even if not $20, to $15, and if the decision was passed, it would add $2.5 million to the organizing committee's revenue.

It was Li Mu who firmly rejected the proposal to raise the price, the reason why the official is official is because it has an authority that others do not have, and this authority needs to be maintained by the official credibility, if this credibility is lost because the price of souvenirs changes overnight, it seems that it is profitable in the short term, but in the long run, there will be more things to lose.

From the time the souvenirs went on sale to the end of the race in New York, the first 100,000 souvenirs were sold out, and the National Rally earned $4 million in gross revenue for the souvenirs alone.

Removing the cost, this alone brings millions of dollars in profit to the National Rally.

For Li Mu, the million-level dollar is no longer worth being excited about, but except for Li Mu, even Rockefeller can't ignore this money.

Rich people in the United States are actually very good at spending money, but there are also many people who are thrifty, such as Rockefeller, although he has a lot of money, Rockefeller has always stayed in ordinary hotels when he travels, which is in stark contrast to his descendants.

Later, someone interviewed Rockefeller about this, and Rockefeller's answer was: My son has a rich father, but I don't.

One million dollars is not a small amount even in the 21st century, not to mention that it is now the nineteenth century, and no one can see it so lightly like Li Mu.

Since you can see it lightly, there is no need to eat alone, so Li Mu thought enough: "Don't worry, the ranking bonus is still so much, if there is excess profit in the end, it will be evenly distributed to all the participating teams, now you are satisfied." ”

Rockefeller immediately smiled: "Of course, it is a good idea to distribute evenly." ”

In fact, what is there to be happy about, Rockefeller has not turned a corner yet, there are a total of eight teams participating in the competition, and four of them belong to the Junma Group, so even if it is evenly distributed, Li Mu can take half of the profits, and this business is hard to get.

"Since this year's competition is so popular, should we expand the scale of the competition next year?" Rockefeller also has his own little Jiujiu, Li Mu can organize four teams to come out in one go, and Rockefeller can naturally do it.

"If it's an increase in the number of races, I'm in favor of it, and if it's an increase in the number of teams, then you have to think about it." Li Mu is not worried that the participating teams will expand unlimitedly, capital is always selfish, and no one wants to see their share of the cake getting less and less.

In fact, there is not much trouble in forming a team this year, such as Rockefeller's Standard Oil Team, his participating car is actually a Phantom car produced by the Junma Automobile Factory, and all Rockefeller has to do is to find a driver to sit on, and then equip him with a logistics team, and a team is completed.

The price of a Phantom car is 50,000 US dollars, which sounds ridiculously high, in fact, for the rich, this price is not so unacceptable, think about the Bugatti Veyron with a price of 47 million in the 21st century, for ordinary people, this is indeed a sky-high price, but the problem is that this kind of car is not produced for ordinary people at all.

Since the cost of forming a team is so low, if the organizing committee of the National Automobile Rally releases the rumor that it wants to expand the scale of the event, you can imagine how many teams will flock to it.

"Well, you have a point, if we're going to keep eight teams in size, can you sell me one of your spots?" Rockefeller is also a bone surprise, and his brain hole has opened up a different way.

"Don't sell it, if you want, you can, take the shares of the plastic factory in exchange." Li Mu is indispensable.

Compared with Rockefeller, Li Mu has too many cards in his hand.
