At 37 hectares, which is exactly 555 acres, this farm is indeed a little smaller than a normal American farm, but considering that this is New York Bay, it is really a bit wasteful. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Mu didn't feel wasted, and when he was ready to go back, he ordered someone to come over, first planted a green belt around Governor's Island, and then began to build a large number of buildings, anyway, New Yorkers know that this is a military base, and no one will be interested here.

Before November arrived, Li Mu returned to Springfield.

Henry personally went to the train station to pick up the station, and after seeing Li Mu, Henry shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I thought you would come back soon, but I didn't expect you to toss such a big thing in New York, and you won't let Christmas pass?" ”

Speaking of which, the end of October is still early before Christmas, and wanting to take a holiday so early is not what a general manager should do.

"Christmas is definitely coming, but not in Springfield, and I guess you're going to New York." Li Mu was in a good mood and bent down to get into the carriage.

The Horse Investment Company in Springfield is already unimpeded, the horse-drawn carriage can be rushed to the platform, and the entry and exit from the train station are all fast-tracked, and the station staff will not ask.

"Let's talk about any new developments." Li Mu found a comfortable posture and leaned on the carriage to wait for Henry's report.

"Everything is normal, I feel that you should give me a salary increase, because in the past six months, all the industries under the Horse Investment Company have made great progress, the assets of the Horse Weapons Company have quadrupled, and we are now putting 10,000 Horse rifles on the market every month, this is our own product, not the kind of Springfield OEM, the Horse rifle uses smokeless powder bullets, single shots, the barrel is made of the latest chromium-molybdenum alloy steel, the range and life have been greatly improved, we have received an order from the Ministry of War, So in the next three months, we have to double our production on the existing basis, so my dear boss, Junma Arms is still a money-losing commodity so far, and it needs subsidy funds from the headquarters to expand its production. There was pride in Henry's expression, but it was obvious that he was still lacking in confidence at the end of the report.

Li Mu's previous arms supplied to the United States of Cuba were all from the Springfield Arsenal, and had nothing to do with the Junma Arms Company, so the funds did not go to the accounts of the Junma Arms Company, but to the accounts of the Junma Investment Company, so that the Junma Arms Company became an out-and-out money-losing goods, and in the past six months, there have been a lot of profits on the books, but there are more items of expenditure, the scale of the factory has expanded nearly three times compared with before, the machines are all the latest machines, and the number of workers has exceeded 2,000.

When Li Mu went to Cuba, there were nearly 800 school-age children in the school, and now the number has also quadrupled to more than 2,000, and since May, the expansion of the school has basically not stopped.

In order to let parents work with peace of mind, the school contracted almost everything for the children, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, and even the workers of the Horse Arms Company would rather eat a little less by themselves, but also ensure the supply of materials for the affiliated primary school.

"How much money do I need to fund? You make a report and give it to Hatsuyuki. "Li Mu is not stingy with the Horse Weapons Company, which is the core part of Li Mu's industry, and only the healthy development of the Horse Weapons Company can Li Mu's plan be implemented smoothly.

"Oh, it looks like you're making a lot of money, boss." Henry whistled very lightly, and a smile on his face.

It did make a lot of money, Li Mu issued two treasury bonds in Cuba, and now these two treasury bonds have not been spent, and he has cheated Tweed again in New York.

In fact, the money that Li Mu took out and shared with Arthur was only a part, and the other part had already been sent back to Springfield by rail, Henry was the consignee, according to Henry's assessment, this part of the property was worth about 28 million, and only bonds and gold were calculated, and the value of antique artifacts could not be assessed.

Chu Xue has truly become Li Mu's private accountant, and now Chu Xue is sitting next to Li Mu.

Hearing Li Mu's words, Henry's eyes lit up obviously: "Chu Xue, you succeeded?" Congratulations, you will surely become more dazzling. ”

Hatsuyuki is a student of Mrs. Henry, and Henry is very happy for Hatsuyuki to have such a result.

Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that Henry will be more convenient to ask for money in the future, Chu Xue serving as Li Mu's personal accountant is probably the best news for Henry, at least Chu Xue will not deliberately embarrass Henry.

"Okay, my money is enough for you to waste, let's say, there are still those places to invest." Li Mu is not stingy, the money earned is to be spent, and putting the money in the safe is the same as nothing.

"I'm going to change your statement, I'm not wasting money, in fact, that money has played its due role, such as electric lights, you should already know, our Junma Electric Company has been established for less than two months, but it has sold more than 1,000 sets of power supply equipment, and made a profit of more than 10 million dollars-" Henry began to make a gesture, his face full of words: Praise me, praise me, praise me.

Founded in September, the company now focuses on complete lighting fixtures, selling more than 1,000 units in New York and Boston alone.

Junma Electric Company's equipment is not cheap, each set is sold for $10,000, but it is still in short supply, do not ignore the purchasing power of the rich, they really do anything to enjoy it.

"Yes, there is finally someone who can make money, what good news is there?" Li Mu was not much surprised, which was expected.

The horse laboratory is now studying long-distance power supply, once the research is completed, then the electric light can enter the ordinary home, at that time, the horse electric company will usher in its rapid development period, now this model looks good, but in fact there is not much vitality, after all, there are not many families who can spend $10,000 to buy a set of power supply equipment, more than 1,000 families have exceeded Li Mu's expectations.

"Carnegie-Riem Steel has been put into production, their stainless steel products have been put on the market, I have brought you a set, you can take a look-" Henry pulled out a beautifully packaged small box from the leather bag he was carrying, and inside was a pair of cutlery containing accessories such as dinner knives, dinner forks, dinner spoons, etc.

"Such a pair of tableware, the market price is 19.9 US dollars, it does sound a bit expensive, but it is worth the money, I couldn't help but buy a few sets, fortunately the waiter in the store gave me a discounted price, did not make me feel too distressed." Henry explained with a smile, looking very satisfied with the stainless steel cutlery.

"We should continue to develop new products, pots and pans can be, stainless steel has a wide range of application prospects, and there is still a lot of room for development." Li Mu was satisfied, and handed the tableware to Chu Xue beside him: "Let Leo buy more later, we should support our own products." ”

"You are the boss, of course you don't have to spend money to buy it, in fact, Mr. Andrew has sent someone to send you a large box of this cutlery, if you can come back a few days earlier, maybe I won't have to buy it." Henry's gorgeous acidity could not be concealed.

"You're the general manager of Junma Investment Company, didn't Andrew give you some benefits?" Li Mu didn't believe that the future steel king should not make such a low-level mistake.

"I sent it, but I didn't ask for it, I'm different from you, you're friends, and Mr. Andrew and I are just partners, so it's better to pay attention." Henry told the truth.

"Haha, okay, you will have a year-end bonus that satisfies you, do a good job-" Li Mu was very satisfied with Henry's attitude, although Li Mu had no bottom line in doing things, Li Mu still hoped that the group could be honest and honest.

The riverside town is still the original riverside town, with more than a dozen households, surrounded by mountains and rivers, quiet and pleasant.

Although there has been no one living in the house for more than half a year, the house is still clean, the furniture is spotless, the bonfire in the fireplace is burning, Yan's mother is busy in the kitchen, Chuxue put down the bag in her hand and went to help, Yan's father is busy making tea and coffee for everyone, Pan walks around the house to circle the territory, and also writes a "visit here" in the corridor outside the house.

It felt so good to go home, Li Mu took off his coat, only wore a sweater, and chatted with Henry and Will around the fireplace.

Will will not stay long in Springfield, George Dewey will go to Montana after Christmas to take over Sherman to be responsible for exterminating the Indians, Will will also go to Montana at that time, and there is also a battalion of Guantanamo Infantry Regiment soldiers who will pass with Will, and the US government will send people to Montana to inspect the combat effectiveness of the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment to confirm the necessity of establishing a standing army.

With the experience of leading troops in Cuba, Will became much rougher, and seeing that the fire in the fireplace was blazing, Will couldn't help but take off his shoes and come close to the fireplace to roast his cold feet.

Luckily, there was no smell.

Looking at Will's shoes, Henry suddenly remembered something: "Our quilt factory has received an order from the Qing Empire, Zhang and Cao can't make up their minds, and are waiting for you to make a decision after you come back." ”

"What order?" Li Mu really didn't know about this.

"Regarding this kind of leather shoes, the Qing Empire wants to order five thousand pairs of military boots from us, but it conflicts with the order of the Ministry of War, Zhang means not to accept this order, but Cao means that this order should be completed first, so it is a bit controversial." Henry explained in detail.

Only then did Li Mu remember that the Junma Weapons Company also had an attached quilt factory for the production of supporting equipment, which was originally set up to solve the problems of workers' families, and now it seems that it has also become profitable.

"Didn't all the orders of the Qing Empire go to Gogil's factory? How did you find us here? Li Mu was a little puzzled.

"Who knows, it seems that it was a governor who purchased these boots—" said Henry casually.

Governor!

Li Mu seemed to know what was going on.
