Before Li Mu left for Hawaii, the San Francisco government passed a decision to set up a Chinese settlement in Alameda County. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, Americans are still very efficient at some times, especially when there is a tycoon like Li Mu behind the scenes to promote something.

Not only was it efficient, but the San Francisco government was generous, with the first $50,000 in resettlement funds allocated to Alameda County.

$50,000, in an era when an average house only costs hundreds of dollars, is enough to start the resettlement work.

Li Mu thought more thoughtfully, after all, he already had the experience of building cities in Guantanamo and San Diego, Li Mu was not in a hurry to build a house, but started with the infrastructure, first repaired various underground pipelines, then laid roads, and finally built houses.

This procedure may seem a little troublesome, but there are also a lot of benefits, according to the modern concept of the construction of the city, the supporting facilities are quite perfect, not only reserved for open and spacious roads, but also should be planned for parks and green spaces, plus schools and hospitals and other supporting facilities, but in terms of advanced degree, if the Chinese settlement is completed, it can completely blow up San Francisco.

Alameda County will then become a noble residential area in the San Francisco Bay Area, which will certainly help to improve the social status of the Chinese, although it is a bit vulgar to measure social status in terms of money, but usually, this method is the most appropriate.

The consequence of high standards is a rapid increase in investment costs, from $50,000 to build a few homes, but $50,000 to build a city.

In order not to affect the progress of the construction, Li Mu privately invested $100,000 for the infrastructure construction of Alameda County, and the money will be lent to the Alameda County government in the form of bonds, and Alameda County will use the land to compensate Li Mu for his investment.

There is a reason why Li Mu wants land, Li Mu wants to open a branch of a horse weapons factory in San Francisco.

The Horse Arms Company has signed an arms contract with Cheng Gungchi for a total value of $2.7 million, and this price is the CIF price, which means that the Horse Arms Company is responsible for transporting the weapons to the cities designated by Cheng Gengchi in the Far East.

If the weapons had been produced from Springfield, they would have been shipped from Springfield to San Francisco, where they would have been loaded onto ships and shipped to the Far East.

And if the horse arms company has a factory in San Francisco, it will be much more convenient, after the weapons are produced in San Francisco, they can be directly loaded and shipped to the Far East, both time and freight will be saved.

If there is only this order, it is not enough for Li Mu to make up his mind to set up a branch in San Francisco, but Li Mu knows the potential of the Far East in terms of arms procurement, Japan is carrying out the Meiji Restoration, the Qing Empire is also carrying out the Westernization Movement, the relationship between the two countries has become tense, and in the next ten years or even decades, the Qing Empire and Japan are both large players in arms procurement, and Li Mu will definitely not let go of this business.

In fact, even if the Far East market is not considered, the Junma Arms Company should also open a branch in San Francisco, the United States' "westward movement" is in full swing, and most of the American arms enterprises are concentrated on the East Coast, especially in the New England region, and the opening of a factory in San Francisco by the Junma Arms Company at this time will certainly be conducive to the Junma Arms Company to seize the western market.

During his stay in San Francisco, Li Mu also had a relationship with David Christie, the head of the San Francisco area of the National Rifle Association, and with Burnside, the National Rifle Association was similar to Li Mu's own home, and under Li Mu's operation, all adult Chinese men and women in the San Francisco area joined the National Rifle Association, and their membership fees were only ten cents per person per year.

Don't underestimate the ten cents, although the money is small, it is very useful.

With the signboard of the National Rifle Association, the Chinese in the San Francisco area automatically joined the militia system, and the Chinese could buy weapons at will, and they could carry them with them without worrying about any trouble, provided that they did not violate the local laws of California.

David Christie promised Li Mu that he would hold regular shooting training to help the Chinese better use weapons.

With this promise, Li Mu was relieved.

In fact, don't say that the Chinese are cowardly by nature, no one is cowardly by nature, the cowardly character comes more from the influence of the environment, in the nineteenth century, it takes great courage to cross the ocean from the Qing Empire to the United States to seek a living, so the Chinese in the United States can be said to be all adventurers, if there is no such adventurous spirit, even if they starve to death in their hometown, they will not choose to come to the United States.

Therefore, the Chinese in the United States are definitely not lacking in courage, and the fair and just social atmosphere they lack, as long as they are given a fair environment, they will not be inferior to anyone else, and they will definitely be able to create remarkable achievements.

Li Mu is now creating a relatively fair environment for the Chinese, as for what kind of creation these Chinese will have, this is not within Li Mu's consideration, or that sentence, the Buddha is destined to be a person, and medicine will not die and disease.

On January 3, Li Mu and his entourage took the "Enterprise" passenger ship of the "Corbyn-Riem Shipping Company" from San Francisco to Hawaii.

"Reem, you have to pay attention to Chen Guofang, if we want to achieve our goal, this person is the key." Benjamin finally got down to business.

"You still need to say-" Li Mu was speechless, about Chen Guofang's information, Li Mu had already memorized the rolling melons.

"To be honest, I originally thought that you were enough to make God favor, but I didn't expect that in Hawaii, there is actually a Chinese person who can achieve such an achievement, it's amazing, look at this guy's resume, when I looked at it once, I thought it was forged by someone." Benjamin sighed again and again.

Chen Guofang's resume is indeed beautiful, from a civilian background, a counterattack by Dick Si, marrying Bai Fumei, and reaching the pinnacle of life, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a routine article.

It's good that Chen Guofang, a living Hawaiian tyrant, is here, which makes Li Mu's resume look less demonic, at least Li Mu is not the only Chinese who mixes out overseas.

"I don't have the heart to falsify someone's resume, don't worry, as long as I see him, I will naturally have a way to get him to cooperate with me." Li Mu believes that people's desires are endless, and the so-called contentment is not nothing, but the butt determines the head, and different people have different needs.

"What are you going to do? Like in Cuba, support Chen Guofang as president of Hawaii? Benjamin was curious.

"No, Hawaii should be part of the United States." Li Mu was categorical.

This is not Li Mu's capital enemy, who can he give if he doesn't give Hawaii to the United States, could it be that Li Mu established himself as king in Hawaii?

Don't be funny, think about how busy Henry was when he was the general manager of a horse group, he couldn't even reunite with his family at Christmas, and he had to go to the Kuobin Reservoir to eat with those workers who didn't have the habit of Christmas, Li Mu didn't want to do this.

Li Mu's ideal state of life is to lead Huang on the left, Qingcang on the right, carry a cage and a bird to lead a fat dog and a fat girl to bully people all over the street, and being a king are two different things.

To be a king is to lead by example, to be fair and just, to build a harmonious society, Li Mu does not want to be kidnapped by morality, it is good to be a tycoon in the United States that no one dares to mess with.

On January 11, the Enterprise arrived in Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii.

The Hawaiian Islands are made up of 132 islands, including eight larger islands, and the Hawaiian Islands have a total land area of 16,700 square kilometers and stretch for 2,450 kilometers, forming a crescent-shaped island chain. Because it is located in the central Pacific Ocean, Hawaii is located in the tropics, but the climate is mild and pleasant all year round, and the wind and sun are beautiful all year round, and the blue sky is blue, which is really a rare tourist destination.

Of course, Hawaii is not as famous as it is in the 21st century, and the beautiful Waikiki beaches are not appreciated, and although the island already has dock facilities, it is not very large in terms of size, let alone compared to New York Harbor, and it is far inferior to San Francisco.

Standing on the pier and looking out in the distance, towering mountains and lush plantations are no slouch for the two active volcanoes on Honolulu that erupt at any moment.

"An active volcano? What is that? "The most curious is Sandy, this little guy is a little seasick when he is on the boat, but this will be energetic.

"Just listen to the name, it's a fire-breathing mountain-" Li Mu didn't want to explain more, and it was a little difficult to explain to a ten-year-old girl what the earth's crust movement was.

"Do you squirt at night? Can we go and see? Sandy was curious.

"I'll take you another day—" Li Mu said casually, he didn't know when these two volcanoes would erupt.

"The beach here is so beautiful, it's the same as Grand Bahama Island." Gloria will obviously enjoy much more.

"Actually, it's the same if you see too much-" Li Mu didn't care, he entered Lan Zhi's room, and he didn't smell its fragrance for a long time, and it was common to see more beautiful scenery, so the attractions were used to see rather than live, if he really lived often, even the pink sand beach would feel ordinary.

"You're so bad—" Gloria dissatisfied.

"Okay, brothers, let's get started-" Li Mu ignored Gloria and beckoned Chu Wushuang to start working.

As early as when he was in San Francisco, Li Mu had prepared a wooden house, and now dozens of people are working together, and they may be able to move in at night.

Of course, there are hotels in Honolulu, but the hotels are all built in the city, Li Mu doesn't want to join in the fun, so he simply builds a wooden house on the beach, which is convenient and comfortable to live in, and he doesn't have to be false and wronged with those guys with evil intentions.

Well, Li Mu and Benjamin have a clear division of labor, and those guys are all dealt with by Benjamin and Michael, and Li Mu is not a member of the envoy at all, so Li Mu doesn't have to join in the fun.

That's what everyone needs.
