"Ledger—hehe—" Holding Amis's interrogation transcript, Burnside sneered. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Amis's final hole card was a ledger of all of Amis's activities in Washington, with the names of Burnside and Able and Vice President Skyler Cole Fox prominently listed.
The ledger is not in Springfield, but in New York, and is kept by a distant relative of Amis named "Thomas", Thomas and Amis usually have no contact, almost everyone does not know the relationship between Amis and Thomas, and Amis and Thomas agreed that if Amis has an accident, Thomas will give the ledger to George Jones, the head of the New York Times.
George Jones is one of the few conscientious media people in this era, as the head of the New York Times, George Jones vowed to remove New York Mayor Tweed, Tweed once asked someone to give George Jones $5 million, trying to win over George Jones, but George Jones refused.
$5 million, which is a lot of money considering the prices of the era, if the New York Times were a public company, then enough money to buy the New York Times.
It is an ironic fact that from the point of view of conscience, people like Amis and George Jones are natural enemies, but even Amis will pin his hopes on George Jones in order to get the final justice.
Of course, Amis is not going to get a chance now.
As soon as he received the confession, Burnside sent Ryan Matthew to New York to make sure that the ledger was retrieved and that Thomas was silenced.
"This ledger doesn't need to be destroyed, we can make a copy and save what we want—" Li Mu gave Burnside an idea.
"Bingo, I think so too!" Burnside snapped his fingers and looked at Li Mu with a mysterious smile.
There is really no need to destroy it, the ledger records the object, time, place, and amount of each of Burnside's bribes, such a ledger is very useful, all the names on it will become Burnside's help, almost certainly, with this ledger, Burnside's entry into Congress or something is trivial, if it is done properly, maybe it can go further-
Li Mu felt a little regretful in his heart, in order to show that he did not threaten Burnside, Li Mu did not send someone to New York, so this account book has nothing to do with Li Mu.
Burnside understood Li Mu's attitude, so Burnside was very satisfied with Li Mu at this time: "Amis-it was an accidental death, right?" I heard that there was a fire in his house, but what about his family? ”
It's a chilling statement.
"Yes, his family was also killed in the fire, and no one escaped." Li Mu acquiesced to this fact, which can be regarded as Li Mu's vote, only in this way can Li Mu gain all the trust of Burnside.
"That's a shame - let's talk about the Mobile Credit Company, I heard that this company is insolvent, so Reem are you interested in taking over the debts of the Mobile Credit Company?" Burnside wants to appease Li Mu, and it is obvious that the Mobile Credit Company is a bargaining chip.
When it comes to debt, there is actually no business that does not owe debt, and almost all companies operate in debt, and Mobile Credit Company is no exception.
Of course, this debt ratio is worth considering, and for a large company like the Mobile Credit Company, it is a joke to say that it is insolvent, not to mention that the Mobile Credit Company owns a large number of shares of the North Pacific Railroad, which will generate a steady stream of wealth in the future, and the 7.5 million acres of land that the Mobile Credit Company acquired by building the railroad is also a very valuable wealth.
It's a bit of a shame that these lands are located a bit far from Springfield, most of them in Illinois and Indiana, and the closest is about a thousand kilometers from Springfield.
A thousand kilometers here is a straight-line distance, in fact it is even longer if you take a train.
"Absolutely, I'm willing to take on the debt of the Mobile Credit Company, and as for the shares held by the Mobile Credit Company, I think it seems better to leave it to the federal government." Li Mu was high-spirited and took the initiative to give up his interests.
No, no one, everyone knows that the Mobile Credit Company is very rich, and senior officials and congressmen in Washington know better that Li Mu's current status is not enough to control this wealth, and even Burnside cannot swallow it alone, so it is wise to take out this money to everyone's interests.
Although the news of Amis's downfall has not yet leaked out, Li Mu knows very well that once the news comes out, how many red-eyed hungry wolves will be attracted by the Mobile Credit Company, relatively speaking, Burnside is not bad, at least he has a friendship with Li Mu, if he changes people, Li Mu may not even be able to drink the soup, and maybe someone will clean it up, that is a tragedy.
"I'll say, I'm getting more and more optimistic about you—well, I'll give you a copy of the list—" Burnside was relieved that it was easy to deal with smart people.
This is resource sharing, anyway, that account is not effortless, and Burnside doesn't have to care too much, Li Mu has done a good job, and it is natural to enjoy this part of the resources.
"Then let's act, we have to hurry up and take over the Mobile Credit Company, so as not to have too many dreams at night-" Li Mu was slightly injured and could not get out of the line of fire, and was ready to act immediately.
Li Mu's injury is on the arm, after bandaging, there is no major problem, it does not affect Li Mu's action, Burnside is not injured at all, only Will is a little sad, Will's injury is mainly in the thigh, if you want to heal faster, you need to recuperate, the fracture of the finger is not a big deal, and it does not affect Will's action after wearing the finger cover.
Before going to the Mobile Credit Company, Li Mu first went to see Yan Hu.
Yan Hu had just finished the operation and was sent to the nursing ward, the person was still unconscious, Chu Xue and Yan's mother had already rushed to the hospital to take care of him, but Lao Yan did not come, and stayed in the factory to help Li Mu watch the field.
What is a little strange is that when I saw Li Mu coming, Yan Mu and Chu Xue were just a "Bodhisattva blessing", and there was not much sadness and sadness, looking at Yan Mu's expression was even a little proud, and it was not because Yan Hu was unconscious and cried out to the sky and the earth.
Li Mu can understand Yan's mother's thoughts, in fact, the Yan family has always wanted to repay Li Mu's kindness, but there is no chance, maybe Yan Hu helps Li Mu block the gun is the best way for the Yan family to repay Li Mu.
Sure enough, after learning that Li Mu was going out to run errands, Yan's mother called Yan Shun and told him again: "You go with Brother Mu, if you encounter this kind of thing again, you have to learn from your brother, and you would rather be beaten into a sieve by someone than let people hurt Brother Mu-"
When it came to the end, Yan's mother finally had sadness, and the last sentence was simply screamed.
Yan Shun didn't speak, ready to show his attitude with actions.
Now is not the time for children to grow up, Li Mu told Chu Xue a few words, and turned around with Yan Shun and left.
The location of the Mobile Credit Company is next to the train station, only two blocks from the train station, the company occupies a small area, only two houses, and there are few staff, Li Mu and Burnside swarmed with a group of police and gunmen, and it didn't take much effort to control all the staff.
After a simple personnel screening, Li Mu found Elijah Grace, Amis's personal lawyer.
It's easy to have a lawyer, just like Henry knows Li Mu's financial situation, if there is anyone in the world who knows Amis's financial situation best, Elijah Grace is second, and it is estimated that no one dares to admit first.
After finding Elijah Grace, Li Mu finally knew how much money Amis had, and in addition to the shares held by the Mobile Credit Company, Amis's wealth was also reflected in Amis's large collection.
Amis was an avid collector, and his private collection was huge and expensive, including rare and expensive pieces, so large that a museum could be built to store them.
That's right, in Springfield, there is a Mobile Museum, this museum is not open to the public, so not many people in Springfield know about it, but in the entire museum world, the Mobile Museum is famous, this Amis's private museum, the collection is rich, the quality of the collection is high, it is rare in the whole New England area, and even the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York was established last year to borrow exhibits from the Mobile Museum to support the façade.
Now all this belongs to Li Mu and Burnside, Li Mu and Burnside giggle and divide up the collection of the Mobile Museum, Burnside can go to the Mobile Museum to pick three collections to take away, and then the rest of the collection will belong to Li Mu.
In addition to the Mobile Museum, Amis has a castle-style property in New York, Boston, and Washington, D.C., each of which covers more than a hectare, which is easier to divide, with Washington going to Burnside, New York to Lee, and Boston to Will.
So in just one afternoon, the once huge and formidable Mobile Credit Company quietly changed its appearance, and that night the owner of the Mobile Credit Company, the U.S. Congressman, and the mayor of Springfield, Amis, broke out in his home, killing all seven members of the Amis family.
In the following week, Springfield underwent a series of personnel changes, due to the death of Amis as mayor, Deputy Mayor Bruce Motley temporarily became mayor of Springfield, Police Chief Will was promoted to deputy mayor of Springfield, and served as special assistant to Mayor Bruce Motley, and successfully entered the Springfield City Council, becoming a political star in Springfield.
These personnel changes have nothing to do with Li Mu, Li Mu's attention in the past few days is on the "Springfield Republic", it is this newspaper, the day after Li Mu's attack, the front page of the headline published a current affairs commentary, headlined: Chaos Springfield!
