Lincoln's speech on White House Square was a success. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Similarly, Li Mu, who has been following this speech in the Western restaurant, and Dracula. Ben and Slen also decided that they would fund Lincoln's election for president of the United States.

Li Mu knew that Lincoln would become the 16th president of the United States.

And Dracula. Benslen, on the other hand, thought there would be a lot of interest in this, and he was a businessman who was half Jewish.

The taste of profit, money is the keen.

In particular, after listening to Li Mu's speculation, Dracula. No matter how you look at it, as long as the guy who spoke in the White House Square can run successfully.

The Friendship Department Store would benefit enough from it that the Friendship Department Store would not suffer any losses in the event of a war.

The most important point is that neither he nor Li Mu has any political resources in the United States, which is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

As long as Lincoln can really run for president of the United States, then he and Li Mu, who have funded campaign funds, will definitely become guests of the White House.

At that time, he will be able to obtain more political resources, increase his influence in the upper class of the United States, and better expand the business of the Friendship Department Store in the United States.

Whether it is for himself or for the cause, the development of Friendship Department Store, Dracula. Ben Slen planned to follow Li Mu's idea and fund Lincoln's presidential candidacy and donate some of his funds to the campaign.

As for, Dracula. Why did Ben Silen not consider the candidates of the Democratic Party and the Party, and directly chose the Lincoln of the Republican and Party parties.

This is entirely because during the time he was eating in the western restaurant, he had never heard Li Mu talk about the Democratic Party candidates.

The whole thing is about Lincoln, who gave a speech like a warrior in White House Square.

Out of trust in Li Mu, Dracula. Benslen never considered the Democratic and Party candidates, and directly put the chips on Lincoln.

......

Next.

Li Mu gave Dracula the task of meeting Lincoln. Ben Slen, as for the place of appointment, it is naturally Ford's Theatre.

The reason why you make an appointment here is not to go to any café or simply to make an appointment at Dracula. Ben Slen's home, this is because Li Mu knew that Lincoln was a man who loved comedy.

It just so happens that there is a comedy at Ford's Theatre today.

There is another reason why Li Mu chose Ford's Theatre, that is, Lincoln is very close to this theater.

In the VIP room on the second floor, sitting on the open-air viewing platform, you can clearly see the performance on the stage, a clown is doing antics.

"Mr. Lincoln, please go this way." Dracula greets Lincoln. Benslen laughed in the hallway on the second floor of the theater.

Hearing that Lincoln was coming, out of respect for the historical celebrity, Li Mu, who was waiting in the VIP room, got up from his seat, handed the teacup in his hand to Abel, and got up to prepare to greet him.

For the United States, a country with a short history of founding, there are not many characters he likes, one is the first president of the United States, George . Washington.

It was a man who could exercise extreme control over his lust for power, a man who could abandon a presidency for life and peacefully transfer the power of the country to the next president.

It can be said that George. Washington is the truly great man in the Plane for nearly 300 years.

Li Mu likes George. Washington, an American historical figure, and Lincoln, who was about to enter the VIP room, abolished American slavery and put the country on the fast track to capital development.

.......

"Squeak."

When Li Mu recalled the historical trajectory of Lincoln in his own plane, Dracula. Ben Slen pushed open the door to the VIP room, then stood in the doorway and made a greeting gesture.

Looking down the hallway, he said, "Mr. Lincoln, please inside, there's a friend of mine inside." ”

"Really? Mr. Dracula, we're all in this together. ”

There was a powerful laugh from the doorway.

Then, Li Mu saw Lincoln appear at the door and strode in, really like a warrior, thin but very energetic.

Li Mu smiled in his heart when he saw such a Lincoln, and only such a person could withstand eight election defeats and overcome a mental breakdown.

And in the face of opposition from all Southern farmers, they still insisted on abolishing slavery in the United States.

Dracula. Ben Slen walked in, closed the door, and said to Li Mu, "Lee, this is Mr. Lincoln. ”

"Mr. Lincoln, this is my friend Li, whose full name is Li Mu, is a Qing countryman, who came to the United States to do business, and is my partner, and the stockings we talked about on the road just now are the goods provided by Li."

"Oh, is it? Mr. Dracula. Lincoln was surprised for a moment, then stretched out his hand to Li Mu with a smile and said: "Mr. Li, the United States is a free country, there is no discrimination here, on behalf of the United States, I welcome you to come to the United States to obtain your part of the harvest." ”

"Mr. Lincoln, seeing you, I believe that." Li Mu said with a smile that he did not debunk the real status quo of the United States.

If the United States really had no discrimination and was a free country, then Lincoln's announcement of the abolition of slavery and the granting of freedom, and even rights, to blacks would not have caused dissatisfaction among those farmers in the South.

The Civil War would have ceased to exist.

Lincoln said firmly: "Yes, I believe that America will be a country of freedom and non-discrimination, where everyone can get what they deserve if they work hard." ”

"God is fair."

Dracula. Ben Slen heard Lincoln's speech-like words, and a smile appeared on his face, and he interrupted: "Mr. Lincoln, we might as well sit down and talk and watch the comedy." ”

"Mr. Lincoln, why don't we sit down and talk." Li Mu pointed to the chair that Abel had prepared and said.

"Okay, Mr. Lee, Mr. Dracula, let's take a seat together." Lincoln agreed with a smile.

Dracula. Bensren nodded.

The three of them were seated.

Lincoln, who had just sat down, complained to Li Mu beside him, "Mr. Li, I want to condemn you and Mr. Dracula. ”

"Oh, why is that?" Li Mu asked curiously.

Dracula. Ben Silen was also curious.

Lincoln laughed and said, "Your stockings are simply too expensive, and my wife has spent too much money on them." ”

"But my wife loves it, and I love the way my wife looks in stockings."

"Haha..."

Li Mu smiled at Dracula. Benslen said, "Dracula, it's really a good thing to have Mr. Lincoln complain about us, and for a while, let someone send some stockings to Mrs. Lincoln, lest Mr. Lincoln complain about us the next time we meet." ”

Dracula. Ben Silen also smiled and said, "Lee, I agree. ”

"Oh, Mr. Lee, Mr. Dracula, thank you for your generosity." Lincoln said with a smile.

Li Mu nodded, he knew that in the United States, there was nothing for candidates to accept gifts, and this was also a means for candidates to envelop partners.

After the joke, Li Mu said to Lincoln, who was watching a comedy: "Mr. Lincoln, the purpose of this appointment with you, I want to come to Mr. Dracula has already told you." ”

"That's right, we just want to fund your candidacy for president of the United States."
