Washington is still the Washington in Li Mu's impression, covering a huge area, with a relatively sparse population, low houses, old streets, and the smell of horse manure in the city.

No way, this is a common problem in all cities in this era, such as Washington, New York, these big cities are not bad, those cities in remote areas are even more unsightly, the streets can be better, there are still people in the alleys to defecate in the open, because only a few roads have been hardened, and whenever it rains heavily, the sanitary situation in the city will be a mess.

In order to learn from Guantanamo's advanced experience in building a city, Washington sent three groups of people to Guantanamo, and finally sorted out a set of quite disciplined urban construction methods, but limited to objective conditions, this method cannot be fully promoted.

Not to mention anything else, there is not enough asphalt, you can't do it if you want to harden all the pavement, and the cement production in this era is very low, and paving the pavement with cement is a very luxurious behavior, even the U.S. government can't afford it.

Of course, the concept of advanced cities can be promoted in a few large cities first, and Washington is undoubtedly qualified, so Washington now has epidemic prevention stations, health bureaus, and urban management.

That's right, it was the chengguan, although this department was widely criticized in the later republics, but it turned out that the existence of chengguan was necessary when the general quality of the people was not high enough.

Thanks to the rapid development of the Junma Group, there are already cars on the streets of Washington in Mercedes-Benz, the cars produced by the Junma Automobile Factory are divided into ordinary version and luxury version, the ordinary version in order to pursue faster production speed, in the cost of use can be saved, as long as the car can be driven; The luxury version of the car in the choice of materials is not the best only to seek the most expensive, in the interior decoration of the car, sandalwood and gold leaf can be seen everywhere, the buttons on the leather seats are eager to use gold, the logo on the front of the car is changed from the three-pointed star to the winged little gold man, this little gold man is not gilded, but real gold casting.

Such a car is very troublesome to produce, the horse automobile factory has a special workshop responsible for the production of this kind of car named "Phantom", but the monthly production is only two, so the price is also very touching, 50,000 US dollars a price is still in the market, as long as each Phantom is off the production line, it will be forced to wait for the tycoons to take away.

Every time deciding on the name of a new car, or deciding on the name of a new company, it was a struggle for Li Mu.

The white people are very lazy in this regard, the same name, the grandfather uses the father, the father uses the son, and the son uses the grandson after the grandson, in order to distinguish the grandfather, the father and the son, they have to use the second and third generations to distinguish.

The same is still this name, see that the dog in your home is more cute, then use this name to name the dog, of course, to make full use of the value of this name in business, so many famous business names or car brands in the 21st century, in fact, were originally personal names, Bentley, Ferrari, Maserati, etc., the only one that does not use a personal name as a car brand is "Volkswagen", and the "Volkswagen" brand, and luxury cars seem to have nothing to do with it.

According to this law, if Li Mu has a son in the future, then Li Mu can also name his son "Reem", usually called "II", if Li Mu has a dog, he can also name the dog "Ream", there are also Junma Group and Junma Automobile Factory, according to this law, Junma Group should be called "Lim Group", "Phantom" should be called "Lim Automobile".

I really don't know what to say, such a non-connotative thing, only white people are happy to do it.

There are still a lot of rich people in the United States, and if 50,000 US dollars is used for production, a large-scale factory can be built, and in this way, the production order has been scheduled for three years, as for why it has not been lined up for a longer time, because the Junma Automobile Factory does not accept orders after three years.

Regarding this regulation, Junma Group has been criticized, other factories are open to receive orders, how many to receive how much, only Junma Group is a limited order, the market generally believes that this is not because Junma Group has the ability to self-control, but because Li Mu, a profiteer, is brewing to increase prices in the future, so he will not undertake orders after three years.

The tycoons who have already gotten the "Phantom" are all the ones with names and surnames, and only money and no social status are not enough qualifications, and among those who are qualified, Abel ranks very high, so Abel got a "Phantom" early.

Owning a car in this era is definitely a status symbol, because of the advent of the car, the U.S. Department of Transportation has unprecedentedly divided the road into fast lanes and slow lanes, the slow lane is for horse-drawn pedestrians, and the fast lane is only for cars.

Now you can see why cars are sought after by the market, the president only closes the road for travel, and now owns a car, and has a road built specifically for cars, and this honor alone is worth 50,000 dollars.

As Li Mu expected, Abel personally drove the "Phantom" to pick up the station, in order to drive the "Phantom" directly to the platform, Abel even used the power in his hand to let Li Mu's special train stop directly at the No. 1 platform, this unscrupulous use of privileges made Li Mu feel blushing, but Abel felt normal.

Since he felt blushing, he left quickly, so Li Mu got into the "phantom" as soon as he got out of the car, urging Abel to leave quickly.

Although there were no other passengers on the platform, from the eyes of the station staff, Li Mu saw not only envy, but also all kinds of disdain, although these people did not say it on the surface, but they must have scolded the sky in their hearts, Li Mu didn't want people to greet their ancestors, so he still hurried away.

"The Phantom is indeed a good car, I don't even want to train the driver, such a good car is simply a waste to the driver to drive." Abel worked as a driver for Li Mu, and he was still proud.

There is no doubt that the positioning of the "phantom" needs a driver, not only to let the big guys get enough rest, but also to prevent someone from breaking the little golden man on the front of the car.

"Is it really okay for a government official to drive such a luxury car?" Li Mu couldn't get used to the headmaster of Ebel.

The U.S. Department of Inspectorate is not a vegetarian either, and Abel is obviously not in line with his legitimate income, and if the Department of Inspectorate wants to check on Eble, it will definitely check it.

"What could be the problem? The money I paid for the car was earned by myself, and it was all clean money that had been taxed, so let them check it casually. Abel has the confidence to say that as long as Grant is in office, no one will dare to touch Ebel.

This is the standard back to the big tree to enjoy the shade, Abel can become the chief of staff of the presidential palace depends on Grant, Abel knows his source of power, so Abel does not bother to please others at all, as long as Grant is in office, then Abel will sit back and relax, if Grant steps down, then there is no need for the new president to speak, Grant will take the initiative to resign.

Abel is right, maybe Abel did earn money from the wrong way before he met Li Mu, and since Abel met Li Mu, Abel did earn all his money, which Li Mu can testify.

Of course, as for whether Abel is still accepting bribes, Li Mu is not clear about this, because since Li Mu and Abel partnered to open the Abel Rim shipping company, Li Mu has not given Abel any more gifts.

It's all your own, what kind of gift do you give, just say something.

Li Mu and Abel were not outside, so they directly picked out the meaning.

"New York wants to have a centennial independent exhibition? This is a bit troublesome, why didn't you say it earlier? Now Philadelphia has been busy with this for several years, and if the host city is changed now, it is estimated that Philadelphia people can make a big trouble. "Abel felt very tricky.

"How can I tell you earlier? I was in Cuba last year, and the mayor of New York at the time was Tweed, and that guy wished the whole world would forget about New York, so that he could make a fortune, so he would definitely not do this kind of thing, and now that Philadelphia can't do it, it's normal for us to come out and take over. "Compared with Philadelphia, New York's biggest reliance is on money, so Li Mu never leaves money.

In fact, Philadelphia also has money, after all, Philadelphia's industrial base is still quite good, but the problem is that it is now in a period of economic crisis, and powerful business owners are busy swallowing up other poorly run enterprises and expanding their own business scale, and enterprises without core competitiveness are struggling to survive, so it is not realistic for them to come up with money.

New York's biggest advantage is the New York Customs, which is the largest port on the East Coast of the United States, and as long as there is New York Customs, the New York City government will not be short of money.

Although the customs office is under the control of Washington, the New York government has the power to withhold a portion of the customs revenue as New York's municipal funds, which is standard foreign money.

How do you say that sentence: people don't come to foreign wealth and don't get rich, and horses don't eat night grass and don't get fat.

"Okay, I can help you talk about it, but I don't guarantee that Mr. President will change the decision." Abel is indispensable, since Li Mu insists, Abel is willing to help Li Mu speak, but Abel will not give Li Mu a promise.

"It's enough to have your words." Li Mu clenched his fists in the back seat and made a cheering gesture to Arthur.

Arthur was already so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, it was too right to bring Li Mu to New York, although Arthur and Able also knew each other, but there were many things that Arthur was inconvenient to talk about, but Li Mu had no scruples, and the effect was very good.

Abel is Grant's brother-in-law, this is Grant's most trusted person, as long as Abel comes out, the effect will definitely be a top trick.
