Perhaps for ordinary Americans, a thousand dollars is already a huge sum. According to the US Bureau of Statistics in 1877, the total annual income of an ordinary American family is about this figure.

One thousand dollars is simply not worth mentioning to Li Mu. The profit of each phantom car produced by the Junma Group usually exceeds 3,000 dollars. The profit of each set of Junma Electric's home power supply system is also more than 2,000 dollars. As for the new radio telegraph that Junma Communications just launched, each unit has a profit of more than $ 10,000.

Don't think that 10,000 dollars is a lot. In fact, even if you are willing to pay 10,000 dollars, you may not be able to buy them. Before the advent of radio telegraphs, wired telegraphs were usually bundled with railways. Where the railways pass, the telegraph lines will There, there is no place to repair the railway, and there is no chance to generate electricity. Compared with the cable telegraph, the radio telegraph can save more than 90% of the cost. Junma Communication Company does not sell the radio telegram at all now, it always The radio telegraph will not be sold to the public until the completion of Junma Communications.

Yes, this is one of the privileges of a monopoly enterprise. After the successful development of the radio telegraph, Junma Communications has the conditions to promote the business to the whole country. The former Junma Communications has an absolute advantage in New England and the West Coast, but This absolute advantage position is not stable. Even in the northern Republican site, there are also Pacific Rim Telecom and Northern Telecom and Junma Telecom. These two companies belong to the Central Pacific Railroad and the United Pacific Railroad. In the south, Texas The American Telephone and Telegraph Company is the biggest rival of Junma Telecom. The radio telegraph gives Junma Telecom a chance. As long as Li Mu is willing, Junma Telecom can expand its business to the whole country in the shortest time, including Southern State. The company can easily defeat all opponents.

This is the power of technology!

Speaking of technology, this is the biggest advantage of the Steed Group. Li Mu founded Steed Labs and invested heavily in Steed Labs for several years. It was once described as a joke in New York. After all, the 21st century is similar to the lifeline for the United States. "Intellectual property rights" is still a strange concept in this era. Large enterprises in this era do not want to invest in technological research and development. Destroyed plunder is the usual way for large enterprises. Li Mu fundamentally changed this concept and led Rockefeller. And Andrew Carnegie both set up their own laboratories. Until now, no one has laughed at the huge investment of Li Mu. Numerous businessmen are keeping an eye on Junma Group. They all want to keep up with the pace of Junma Group, even if it is not possible. The biggest cake can at least be mixed with leftovers. Don't think this model is sad. Even in the 21st century, this model has not changed.

After beginning to lead the progress of American science and technology, Li Mu was also thinking about what to do next, and how to protect the interests of the Steed Group to the maximum extent. The military weapon market standard was an attempt made by Li Mu. It became good, but it did n’t matter. Steed The current profit contribution of the weapon company in the Junma Group belongs to the lowest level. Li Mu ’s hope for the Junma Weapons Company is that Junma Weapons Company can bear its own profits and losses. In this case, profit is indeed not the issue that Li Mu is most concerned about. "Weapon market standards" will further affect the profits of Junma Weapons Company, so it is a disaster for other companies. Even Junma Weapons Company cannot guarantee profits. Other companies are even more unprofitable. As for Simon Steel He is destined to be a victim of Li Mu ’s experiment. Sadly, even Washington will not be grateful to him.

For the United States, the "military weapons market standard" is also a useful attempt. During the Senate's deliberations, it encountered almost no obstacles. The first vote was passed. Eighty percent of the members of the bill agreed with the proposal. There was a slight twist in the House vote, but after Henry went to the House to participate in a hearing, the "Military Weapons Market Standards" also passed a majority in the House.

Both the Senate and the House of Representatives recognized the "military weapon market standards", and the president no longer had a say. After issuing a presidential decree, Hayes announced that the "military weapon market standards" had become the U.S. military market standards in legal form, and returned to Li Mu. After the phone call, Li Mu was of course impassioned on the phone. After pointing to Tianhua's determination, Hayes and Li Mu both got what they wanted.

Of course, in fact, both people know that their relationship can no longer be restored to the past. This cannot be simply blamed for Li Mu or Hays. They can only be said to be "owners of their own." They are loyal to their respective classes. Hayes is loyal to the Washington bureaucracy and loyal to his own ideals, while Li Mu is loyal to the bourgeoisie and business itself. There is no fundamental difference between Hays and Li Mu, but the difference between their classes has caused them to The farther and farther.

It's a bit regrettable, but whether it's Hayes or Li Mu, they won't turn back, because it doesn't make sense and can't change the class conflict between them.

The passing of the "Military Weapons Market Standards" will definitely have an impact on Steed Weapons Company, but there are still unexpected surprises. In mid-February, James Garfield arrived in New York and met Li Mu for dinner on the first night.

Li Mu did not take James Garfield as an outsider. On the newly built yacht "Liberty", he prepared a dinner for James Garfield. James Garfield's accompany was Arthur, and Li Mu's accompany was Rockefeller.

"Liberty" is a custom-made yacht by Li Mu. This yacht is 89 meters in length, 39.5 meters in width, 5.5 meters in draught, and 5700 tons in displacement. According to the vision of the 21st century, the proportion of this yacht is very uncoordinated. Actual This is also the case. This yacht cannot sail out of New York Harbor at all. As long as it is on the Atlantic Ocean and any wave comes over, the "Liberty" will capsize, but there is no way. This year the yachts are all like this. This is a mobile. The palace at sea, the fundamental and the 21st century yachts are two concepts.

Of course, in any era, as a yacht, the facilities on the "Goddess of Liberty" must be perfect, there are all the facilities, banquet halls, concert halls, swimming pools, gyms and so on. Only in terms of decoration, Li Mu fell. With nearly 400 kilograms of gold, and the 400 kilograms of gold are not eye-catching, the interior of the yacht is not brilliant, full of luxury flashy upstart style, which is commendable.

As the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Chairman of the Military Committee, Banking Affairs Committee, and Appropriations Committee, James Garfield has not enjoyed such luxurious enjoyment as the "Liberty", starting from the first moment on board the "Liberty", James · Garfield was amazed, but this did not surprise James Garfield. As a rich man of the level of Li Mu, it is not excessive to own a yacht like the "Goddess of Liberty". From another perspective, this is also James. The glory of these politicians in Garfield--

Anything that happens in the United States can be regarded as the glory of a politician as long as it is slightly positive.

"It's amazing, Rim, thank you for your generosity." After learning that he was the first guest of the "Liberty", James Garfield sincerely thanked Li Mu.

Regardless of being rich or ordinary people, as long as they are willing to share their beloved things with others, this is a very generous move, especially for people like Li Mu, even if James Garfield was successfully elected president, Li Mu does not need It is even more commendable that James Garfield needs to make every effort, not to mention that James Garfield also needs Li Mu's support to get more chances of winning.

"James, it's my honor to share my happiness with friends." Of course, Li Mu will also be very obedient. Since everyone is here, it is necessary to do a full set of dramas. If you have enough capital, you must get enough gains. .

"You are really, I want to buy a yacht like this, but I can't afford it." Rockefeller's envy was beyond words. This is also a polite phrase. Rockefeller is not able to afford it, but he is not willing. Great, but a frugal person, which is a great advantage.

The cost of such a yacht is about 1.5 million US dollars. Of course, Rockefeller can afford it if he wants to buy it, but this price does not include the decorations on board. Li Mu spent a lot of money on the decoration, even if it is casual in the corridor. A mural is also from the hands of a famous artist. Many of the oil paintings were borrowed from the Steed Museum. The value in this respect cannot be measured at all.

To build a museum, the exhibits are not only those on the bright side. Li Mu has spent a lot of money on the collection these years. As long as he can buy eastern and western cultural relics, Li Mu is swept away. The collected cultural relics are also extremely scary. The Steed Museum can display about 1,500 exhibits every day. Even if it is changed once a month, the Steed Museum can be replaced for 20 years without being sampled, so many cultural relics are piled up in the basement of the Steed Museum Seeing the sun, borrowing it as a yacht decoration can be considered as the best use.

In addition to the cultural relics, the decoration in other aspects is also perfect, even small details, such as the door handles of the room, or the carpet in the hall, are of great value. Those door handles are all made of gold, 400 kg of gold. Most of them are spent on this aspect. As for the carpets, all are handmade cashmere rugs imported from Turkey. Two hundred years ago, such carpets were already more expensive than gold.

"The dollar earns money to spend. The dollar has meaning only if it is spent. Otherwise, it is just a cold number in the bank account. It has no meaning." Li Mu's understanding of finance, even if it is not as good J.P. Morgan is not too bad, at least much better than Rockefeller and James Garfield.

Money is only meaningful to the poor. For the rich, the meaning of money has fallen sharply. At the level of Li Mu and Rockefeller, it has also opened a gap with ordinary rich people, so their views on money will be even more detached. Just like time, for the poor, time is probably the least valuable thing, but for some people, the value of time cannot be measured with money at all.

"Of course you are qualified to say that," Time "is yours, don't use your fallacies to confuse me." Rockefeller is a little upset, even if there are outsiders, Rockefeller should be stunned.

That's fine. The relaxed atmosphere makes James Garfield feel more relaxed and easier to get closer to each other.

"When it comes to Time, Rimm, I heard Chester say that you are going to set up News Corp." James Garfield is very interested in Time, and now everyone is fully aware of the news media. Power, if you want to make a difference in politics, you must get the support of the media. Fortunately, Li Mu controls the largest and best-selling newspaper in the United States.

"Yes, I have been preparing for several years, but this is not easy. You know, some people are staring at me, and some even say that" Time "is a newspaper trust. This is nonsense. I have never been like this. I haven't thought about it, I haven't done it. Only more excellent newspapers will emerge, and the media industry will be more developed. "Li Mu should not sing when he sings high-profile, and when it is not eye drops, it may not be James Jia. Field left a good impression. After James Garfield came to power, Li Mu could escape for several years.

"The media industry doesn't need to be developed, just enough." James Garfield doesn't think so, it seems that he doesn't like the news media much.

From different perspectives, the answer will be different. From the perspective of a businessman, of course, Li Mu hopes that the entire industry will thrive, so Time Magazine will become more valuable when it rises to higher levels.

James Garfield obviously doesn't understand it this way. The media industry is important, but the controllable media industry is more important. Things often have two sides. Controllable news media will become a good helper for politicians. Uncontrollable ones are the enemy of politicians. This underscores the importance of the "news control system", but this year, Li Mu did not need to raise it. James Garfield also only had a vague concept, which was not understood enough.

Speaking of the "news control system", many people in the 21st century have criticized the news management system of the Republic as not being free enough. In fact, this is a prejudice. If you understand the western news media, you should know that the "news control system" does not only exist The Republic, the western countries have greater control over the news media, that is the real control, and they do not give the opponent any chance at all. The Republic is good, and the Southern Department sings contradictions. Does the West have it?

No, the Western media has only one position, which is the "capital position."
