220 Smear (for the tenth update of the leader of the Bloodlight Alliance)
If it weren't for those poor Chinese workers, Li Mu would definitely not want to deal with the old fox Darwin Andrew. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
But there is no way to come, Li Mu still has some things to communicate with Darwin Andrew, and needs the cooperation of the government of the Republic of Cuba, Mahan and Benjamin are not suitable to come to Darwin Andrew, so Li Mu can only come to the presidential palace again.
When he went to the office on the second floor, he passed by the conference room on the first floor, Li Mu took a special look, and as expected, the meeting in the conference room was still going on, and the quarrel was a little loud, and he could hear it clearly when he stood in the corridor.
The secretary who led the way may have seen that Li Mu was a little disdainful, and the expression on his face was a little embarrassed, but Li Mu was kind and said casually: "Democracy is inevitable." ”
As a result, the secretary seemed to have found a bosom friend, and began to pour bitter water on Li Muda: "--Since yesterday afternoon until now, they have only reached an agreement, that is, the salaries of the congressmen should be doubled--this morning there was a brief adjournment of an hour, and as a result, most of the councillors were busy sending their families to Santo Domingo, probably thinking that in this way they would escape the pursuit of the Spaniards-"
It's ridiculous, Saint-Domingo, Dominica, is now also a Spanish colony, and sending family members to Saint-Domingue is not the same as getting out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth, it is better to send it to Kingston, Jamaica, at least it is a British colony.
By the way, the lingua franca of Jamaica is English, while Santo Domingo, like Santiago, has Spanish, which may have prompted these legislators to send their families to Santo Domingo.
As a result, from the first floor to the second floor, Li Mu walked for five minutes in just a few dozen meters, until he arrived at the door of Erwin Andrew's office, and the secretary, who was also named "Santos", was still a little unsatisfied.
"Thank you Santos, I hope to have the opportunity to chat with you again." At the door of Darwin Andrew's office, Li Mu casually gave Santos a green-backed ticket.
It's more or less a good fate, Li Mu is not stingy, just a hundred dollars, maybe when he can help Li Mu.
Darwin Andrew had already been reported, and he was just waiting for Li Mu to come up, and when he saw Li Mu enter the door, Darwin Andrew stood up from behind his desk with a smile and took the initiative to greet Li Mu and open his arms.
Li Muqiang endured the discomfort in his stomach and hugged Darwin Andrew.
After both of them were seated, Darwin Andrew offered his courtesy: "Mr. Ream, I want to express my utmost admiration to you, your efficiency is indeed astonishing, and if it were Cubans, it would take a year to prepare for the attack." ”
That's right, Li Mu and their efficiency is indeed high, which the Cubans absolutely cannot compare.
"Mr. Darwin, I heard that there are quite a few Chinese laborers under your command—" Li Mu and Darwin Andrew went around in circles, and they came up to scold.
"Yes, Mr. Ream, why do you need it? I can give you a hundred—" Darwin Andrew was very cooperative.
"Then I want to thank you, I don't ask for it in vain, you make a price." Li Mu is not greedy and has no intention of taking advantage of Darwin Andrew.
"Well, how much do you want?" Darwin Andrew realized that Li Mu had a good appetite.
"All-" Li Mu did not hide it, this kind of thing did not want to hide from Darwin Andrew, the head snake.
"Can you ask, do you want these Chinese workers to do?" Darwin Andrew was curious.
"You know, the Chinese are the best workers, I spoke with Mr. Edmond today, and he thinks the Chinese are the best soldiers, so I want to try it, you know, we're under a lot of pressure, so we're going to use all the forces we can muster." Li Mu stood up to the righteousness and did not believe that Darwin Andrew did not cooperate.
"That's—" Darwin Andrew held his chin in one hand and tapped the table with the other, quickly and sharply.
Li Mu was not in a hurry, waiting for Darwin Andrew to make a decision and pull out the battle against the Spaniards as a shield, Li Mu believed that Darwin Andrew would definitely make the right choice.
"Well, I'll give you all the Chinese laborers, you don't need to spend a penny, fighting the Spaniards is our main task at the moment, as long as this goal is achieved, then all the efforts are worth it." Darwin Andrew didn't disappoint inside.
In fact, in Cuba today, slaves are still very valuable, a strong slave, the market price is about 500 dollars, this is because the price was much cheaper during the war, and the price was more expensive before the war began.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Darwin, you should know that I was Chinese before I became an American citizen, so I would like you to issue an order that I want to get all the Chinese workers in the Republic of Cuba, now and in the future." Li Mu's heart is still big, and he takes advantage of the situation to put forward more requirements.
If Li Mu gets what he wants, and Darwin Andrew gives the relevant order, then Li Mu has the right to go to other slave owners, including Rayleigh Toynby, to "buy" Chinese laborers from them, and in the future, as the war progresses, as long as the Republic of Cuba occupies new territories, Li Mu has the right to go to those slave owners to "buy people".
"Mr. Ream, I would like to remind you that I can certainly give similar orders, but others will not necessarily be as generous as I am." Darwin Andrew gave Li Mu a vaccination, reminding him of the difficulties he would encounter.
"No problem, I've got the cash ready, and I'm not going to make a counteroffer no matter what they offer, and of course, if they're as open-minded as you, Mr. Darwin, then they'll get my friendship." Li Mu is obedient and has a basket, as long as he needs to, he can move out at any time.
This involves a "consciousness" issue, if Li Mu goes to Rayleigh Toynby, and Rayleigh Toynbee opens his mouth, of course Li Mu will also pay, but Li Mu will definitely make up for it afterwards, if Li Mu pays 100,000 US dollars for the Chinese workers in the hands of Rayleigh Toynby, then Li Mu will get back at least 200,000 US dollars from Rayleigh Toynby.
Of course, it is not easy to get Li Mu's friendship.
In fact, Li Mu only found out at this time that it was not a good thing to cooperate with an old fox like Darwin Andrew, at least Darwin Andrew was very smart, and dealing with smart people has always been pleasant.
At least Darwin Andrew won't be killed silently, and then leave Li Mu with a mess.
After leaving Darwin Andrew's office, Li Mu went to the conference room on the first floor to find Rayleigh Toynbee.
It seems that Darwin Andrew and Rayleigh Toynbee also have a division of labor, Darwin Andrew handles the work to ensure the smooth operation of the government of the Republic of Cuba, and Rayleigh Toynbee is responsible for talking to the members of Congress, no matter how lively these parliamentarians are, as long as they don't bother Darwin Andrew.
Seeing Darwin Andrew's warrant, Rayleigh Toynby was depressed, rubbing his head and muttering, "God, Mr. Ream, you've got me in big trouble, all the Chinese workers—to tell you the truth, I don't know how many I have, so I need time to count them." ”
Rayleigh Toynbee was also very cooperative, and did not set up an ambush in terms of numbers.
Li Mu believed that what Rayleigh Toynbee said was true, and at the level of Rayleigh Toynby, he really didn't know how many people he had, just like Li Mu was not sure how many workers there were in the Horse Arms Company.
"Don't worry, I won't ask for your people for nothing." Li Mu also tried to show his "Gao Feng Liang Festival", and his words were better than singing.
"Haha-" Rayleigh Toynby laughed dryly twice, and looked at Li Mu a little pouting: "Don't worry, even if Mr. Ream you are going to spend money, I don't dare to ask for it-"
Oh, don't even give money?
It's a bit rare!
Li Mu didn't know why, but he didn't mean to ask, even if Li Mu asked, it was estimated that Li Mu couldn't get the correct answer, so Li Mu happily left.
Don't be just right, save it!
As a result, it didn't take long to go out, and Li Mu knew why Rayleigh Toynbee didn't dare to ask Li Mu for money.
"Reem, this newspaper has your name on it—" On the way back to the barracks, Yan Shun stuffed a newspaper into the carriage.
Li Mu opened it and saw that it was the "Cuban Republic" newspaper published in Santiago, and the headline on the front page read in bold bold letters: "Riem -- a tycoon from Springfield in the United States."
Tycoon!
To be honest, when he saw this title, Li Mu still subconsciously felt a little fluttering.
Mmmm, this editor is very discerning.
Li Mu was a little proud.
But after opening the newspaper and reading two lines, Li Mu had the urge to knock on the door.
The newspaper listed in detail Li Mu's "great achievements" after coming to the United States, especially in the two events of overthrowing Amis and confronting Amos, the editor devoted a lot of space to introducing them in great detail, and also mixed some of his own personal goods, describing in detail how Li Mu operated.
Li Mu finally understood why Rayleigh Toynby didn't dare to ask Li Mu for money, Li Mu finally understood why Santos explained in such detail, and Li Mu finally understood that in Cuba, Li Mu's reputation was ruined.
This is so detailed that it can't be washed in vain.
Needless to say, this was Darwin Andrew's idea again, this guy wanted to discredit Li Mu and make Li Mu unable to find followers in Cuba, so he had to cooperate with Darwin Andrew.
Of course, it doesn't seem appropriate to describe it as "smear", because the "Cuban Republic" is right, if Li Mu is an egg without sewing, it can't attract flies.
In fact, this is fine, in this way, it is very beneficial to facilitate Li Mu's actions, Li Mu decided to let Yan Shun buy a few more copies, and when Li Bora did something, let Li Bora take the newspaper to be a "worship post"——
Nonono, this is my boss, you can take a look at it, and then decide whether you want to be friends with Mr. Ream or be Mr. Reem's enemy.
Li Mu believes that most people should make the right choice.
