On May 1, four months after leaving New York, Li Mu finally returned to New York.

If nothing else, this should be the last time Li Mu left New York for a long time before the invention of the radio telegraph.

As the owner of the Steed Group, there are too many things that Li Mu needs to handle in person. Leaving the base camp in New York for a long time is not good for the development of the Steed Group.

Although Li Mu had Henry sitting in New York when he left New York, for the Steed Group, Li Mu's role was irreplaceable. Many things, Henry, the general manager could not be the master, and Li Mu still needed to come back and get the idea.

During the period when Li Mu left New York, Steed Group has accumulated a lot of backlogs, the most important of which is the reorganization of Steed Group.

Regarding the reorganization, Li Mu had discussions with Henry before leaving. Li Mu wanted to dilute the shares of Junma Group by reorganization and split the shares into the hands of multiple companies, so as to make Junma Group less attractive.

For example, in the power and communications industries, Junma Electric is now undoubtedly a dominant company. In the two fields of electric lights and telephones, Junma Group has set up strict patent walls. Therefore, in these two fields, Junma Group competes in a row. None of the opponents.

These two industries are both profiteering industries. Junma Group installed at least 80% of the profits of the power supply equipment, and the phone is excessive. If the infrastructure is not considered, the profit margin of the phone is 90%. And the phone is still a profitable project. Unlike the electric lamp, it is a one-shot deal. After installation, there will be follow-up costs as long as it is used. If it continues to develop according to the current trend, then it will take a few years, and the Junma Group will be punished. Go to court under the name "monopoly".

Just like the Rockefeller and DuPont families.

Of course, hungry, the Rockefeller and DuPont families have not developed to the point of monopoly, and there is a big gap compared with the Junma Group, so if Li Mu does nothing, then the defendant's time will definitely be earlier than the Rockefeller and DuPont families. .

In Li Mu's plan, the Trans-Caribbean Investment Company and the Barron family will be the partner of the Junma Group, that is to say, in the next period, the Junma Group will transfer a part of the shares to the Trans-Caribbean Investment Company and Barron. family.

Caribbean Investment Corporation is an offshore company registered by Li Mu in the Bahamas. This is a company controlled by Li Mu, but it is not under the supervision of the US government. Li Mu will give a minimum of 30% of the shares of Caribbean Investment Corporation in order to dilute Li Mu's equity.

The Barron Family Investment Company is a company under the name of Will. It sounds like the "Ballen Family" has a big name. In fact, Will and Gloria and Sandy are their grandparents. This company is actually Li Mu Control, Will is just a name.

After the dilution of shares is completed, Junma Group will transform from a family business into a joint-stock company. The shares belonging to Li Mu will decrease from 100% to about 40%, but in fact, these shares still belong to Li Mu. Although it's just a disguise, no one can fault it. After all, this is the rule of the game.

During the period when Li Mu left New York, Henry had almost completed all the preliminary work. When Li Mu signed the "Share Transfer Form", Junma Group would change its face.

On the night Li Mu returned to New York, Henry took a lot of documents to find Li Mu for signature, and the "Share Transfer Letter" was only part of it.

"——The power laboratory requires additional investment. This time the application is 1.3 million US dollars. If we add this money, we have invested 4.2 million in this project, but we still do not see results. I think Franklin should be beaten. Their lives are too leisurely— "Henry reported to Li Mu at Governor William Island's Castle.

The Governor's Island is already a private property of Li Mu. At present, the building still remains on the Governor's Island. Only William Castle is left. The island is now filled with sandalwood made by Li Mu from Hawaii. According to Li Mu's plan, it will be on the Governor's Island. To build a building complex with traditional Chinese cultural style, sandalwood will be the main building material.

Henry organized a group of construction experts. According to the topography of the Governor's Island, three schemes were designed for Li Mu to come back for selection. As soon as Li Mu spit, the construction team could enter the site immediately.

William Castle is a building that is determined to be preserved, so this time it was renovated again, mainly for interior decoration. The exterior wall is just the same. Although it is a bit mottled, it looks more periodical. The changes are indoors. According to Li Mu's requirements, as long as sandalwood can be used, all the furniture and flooring must be replaced.

Li Mu's construction team can even connect to such projects as Kuobin Reservoir. The decoration of William Castle is a piece of cake, so before Li Mu returned to New York, the renovation work had been completed, which was just convenient for Li Mu to move in.

Li Mu's office is on the third floor of William Castle facing the side of Manhattan. In order to achieve the best decorative effect, the entire wall is hollowed out, using steel columns and glass as support and decoration, and furniture with sandalwood flooring. It has a classic charm that combines tradition and modernity.

"You don't have to knock, give them full freedom. Believe that scientific researchers will give you returns in excess of your imagination." Li Mu did not hesitate to sign the report while giving Henry a shot.

Li Mu knows the value of scientific research, so no matter how hard you can suffer, you can't lose scientific research.

"You are too indulgent with them. I am worried that they will take all this for granted." Henry had different opinions and promoted Mien and Miu.

Li Mu smiled and said nothing, then signed a document.

For Li Mu, the significance of the laboratory is not limited to the economic level, but also has a political consideration. Li Mu has always been aimed at improving the social status of the Chinese, so no matter what kind of high-end industry, Li Mu will find ways to get in touch with the Chinese. As a result, the accumulation of less will increase, and one day there will be qualitative changes.

As for what is the best way to do this, Li Mu doesn't care about it. The steward of the Steed Lab is Franklin, with Pearl in front of him. Li Mu believes that Franklin will not pay attention to these small ropes in front of him, as long as Franklin wants Following Langer's path, Franklin will help Li Mu optimistic about the laboratory.

"Well, during this time, a laboratory has applied for several patents related to the power supply. We want to buy them, but the other party refuses to sell them—" Henry reported a new situation.

"Who's lab?" Li Mu had anticipated about his competitors, but when he heard about it, he still couldn't help missing a beat.

"It seems to be called Edison--" Henry didn't care much, his tone relaxed.

"Edison—good—" the name was really thundering

Thomas Alva Edison, a name that cannot be bypassed in the technology world. Li Mu is familiar with the legendary stories of Edison. Li Mu originally thought that after the invention of the lighting, he should be able to ignore the name, but did not expect the name to still appear. In Li Mu's ear.

"Power supply-isn't this an ongoing research project in the power laboratory? Why is there such a big omission." Li Mu was so angry that this was an unforgivable mistake.

"On this point, the laboratory will follow the operation process and will summarize all the technologies after completing a research project, and then apply for a patent at one time to prevent anyone from using our research results. The research on power supply has not yet been completed. So, they have not yet entered the patent application process, and Edison's laboratory is cold, they don't care about it at all, just like crocodile crocodiles, as long as there is a little progress, they will immediately get the patent office to apply for a patent, so- "Henry is a little awkward, but still try to explain.

"Who is the Director of the Patent Office now?" Li Mu was not quite sure about the personnel changes in New York during this period.

After the downfall of Tweed, Arthur wished to be the mayor of New York, and also became one of the two senators in New York. One day, one emperor and one courtier, so New York is now inferior to four months ago. .

However, this change is a major benefit for the Junma Group. As Arthur came to power, it was only good for Li Mu.

"Marcus John, like Allen, is an Ohio. We passed down Edison's patent through Marcus. In a few days, the New York District Court will hold a trial to determine the ownership of the patent- —I have already arranged it to guarantee that Edison will gain nothing. ”Henry's ability is still sufficient. Edison was previously used for nothing but carelessness. If Steed Group pays more attention to Edison, Edison is still too weak compared to Steed Group.

This is not an exaggeration. No matter how great Edison is in the future, Edison is now a newcomer who has just sold an invention and got a sum of money to show his skills in the technology field. There are still many such people in New York. Until they make enough achievements, they are not qualified to be Li Mu's opponents.

"Send someone to investigate Edison, to see who is in his laboratory, and to dig out all his researchers." Li Mu decided to take a salary at the bottom of the kettle.

Although Edison was a great inventor in another space-time, in fact Edison's education level is the same. The ridiculous point is not as high as Li Mu's education, so many of Edison's research are the results of other people's research, but because it was born. It's in Edison Labs that's why Edison's name is attached.

If Steed Lab throws an olive branch to the working staff in Edison Labs, Li Mu does not believe that someone can reject this temptation. Steed Lab now, like the future Hollywood to film actors, is a temptation that cannot be rejected at all.

"No problem, I'm actually doing this." Henry snickered and finally kept up with Li Mu's rhythm again.

Not easy.
