There are many cities in the United States called Springfield, and the meaning of this word is "Springfield", because the name is good, in the United States, almost every state has one or two names that use this name. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The most famous of these is Springfield, the capital of Illinois, but it was Springfield, Massachusetts, that first used the name.
Around 1794, the United States established the National Arsenal in Springfield, Massachusetts, and the rifles produced here became famous all over the world, so Mack's first choice to open a weapons factory was Springfield, Massachusetts.
Of course, in addition to the first choice, Mike has a backup option, and that is Hartford, Connecticut.
Hartford is not far from Springfield, just under forty kilometres. Hartford is a backup option for Mike because it is also one of the destinations for young children, and all the young children will arrive in Springfield and will be divided equally between Springfield and Hartford.
Another important reason Mike chose Hartford was that Colt was right in Hartford.
That's right, it's the famous "Colt", the pistol that Li Mu bought from Mike was produced by Colt, and the other four pistols Li Mu bought in San Francisco were all produced by Colt.
Colt is currently the largest private arms manufacturer in the United States, if Mike wants to make a difference in the field of arms, then it is inevitable to compete with Colt, since sooner or later he has to face, Mike simply chose to come directly to Colt's lair and fight with Colt in close hand-to-hand combat.
Li Mu is noncommittal about Mike's choice, Li Mu is not able to get involved in the business field now, not because he doesn't want to, but because Li Mu does not have enough resources, and he has not figured out the business operation model and relevant laws and regulations in the United States, Li Mu will not get involved in the business field until these problems are clarified.
Just when Li Mu and Mike were "talking happily", as the train started, the carriage gradually calmed down.
Compared to the trains of the 21st century, the current train carriages are a bit narrow, with an aisle in the middle, and two rows of seats facing each other on either side of the aisle, and there are no small tables in the middle of the seats.
Half of the Qing people sat in this carriage, except for Li Mu and Lao Yan's family, all the Qing people were servants of the little fat man, and the foreigners were mixed men and women, most of the men wore bucket hats, suits and leather shoes, and the women were showy and gorgeous.
For many ordinary Americans, this is the first time they have seen Qing people, perhaps because this train is sent to New England with a relatively high level of education, and the quality of the people in the carriage is relatively high, and there is no kind of pointing and ridiculing, which makes Qing people naturally a lot more natural, and their mood is gradually relaxed.
The speed of the train is still relatively fast, about 25 kilometers per hour, and four hours after departing from San Francisco, the train arrives in a small town called Stockton, and as the train slowly stops, the conductor in uniform announces loudly at the junction of the carriages: "Stop for five minutes." ā
Almost at the moment when the car door opened, the Americans in Li Mu's carriage jumped up like rabbits with arrows in their buttocks and rushed out of the carriage.
The officials and children of the Bureau of Young Children Leaving the Overseas Profession were stunned, and they really did not understand why the Americans, who had just been polite and polite, seemed to be crazy as soon as the car stopped.
Soon, they understood what was going on.
In those days, there were no dining cars on the train, so passengers were provided with food and drink at the stations along the way, and the meal time was just five minutes.
And because the number of people on each train is not equal, the stations along the way will definitely not prepare enough meals, and there are no conditions for passengers to eat in an orderly manner, so this kind of scene will occur.
By the time the officials of the Overseas Migrant Workers Bureau and the toddlers came back to their senses, the parking time had ended, the train had started slowly, and the fragrant food was getting farther and farther away from the people who were riding the train for the first time.
Li Mu was not in a hurry, and even Mike was not in a hurry, and after the train slowly started, Miss Ten Thousand dollars and her mother took out all kinds of food prepared in advance from the box she carried.
Mike had taken the train, and he had already reminded Li Mu last night, so Li Mu asked Lao Yantou to prepare enough food last night for Li Mu and a few people to eat from San Francisco to Springfield.
The meal prepared by Miss 10,000 dollars and her mother is still very rich, in addition to beef and bacon, there are also flatbreads baked from the kitchen of the Jinshan Hotel, as well as various after-dinner fruits, and even a bottle of red wine to accompany the meal.
The problem of the dining table is not difficult for Lao Yantou, Lao Yantou and Yan Hu made two small tables overnight last night, and they are just right between the two chairs.
It's still very good to have a maid, after Miss $10,000 and her mother took out all kinds of dishes, Miss $10,000 herself began to be busy arranging the tableware, all kinds of knives, forks, dishes, red wine glasses were divided one by one, Li Mu didn't even have to get up, and the cut beef was sent to the plate in front of him.
Mike, who was sitting opposite Li Mu, also enjoyed the service of Miss Ten Thousand Dollars by the way, eating a mouthful of delicious beef and drinking a sip of red wine at the right temperature, Mike was finally convinced: "I have to say, you are a person who can enjoy life very well, I used to think that spending 10,000 dollars to buy a servant was a bit stupid, but now it seems to be good, if you can maintain this service quality, then it is indeed worth the money." ā
It's really hard to say about whether it's worth it or not.
If it is only considered from the actual value, Chu Xue's family is indeed not worth eight thousand dollars, but the value of people cannot be measured by money, because of Li Mu's ridicule, Chu Xue is facing the fate of being used as an experiment, which is really unacceptable to Li Mu, if Li Mu sits idly by, then Li Mu will not forgive himself in this life.
There are many people in this world who are in a miserable situation and need help, if Li Mu can't see it, forget it, but if it happens in front of Li Mu's eyes, those who can help still have to help, not to mention that the first snow is in danger because of Li Mu, Li Mu can't sit idly by.
Although Li Mu has nothing to worry about in this world, Li Mu does not want to become a cold-blooded animal, Li Mu has always believed in a truth that "money is a bastard, let's earn it after spending it", if Li Mu really becomes a cold-blooded animal, then even if Li Mu earns all the money in the world, it makes no sense to face a room of cold money every day.
The pleasant time is always short-lived, and not long after eating, the little fat man smelled it, and his eyes lit up when he looked at the beef and red wine in front of Li Mu, and his whole body trembled a little.
