In the days leading up to Christmas, Li Mu was really busy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Since December 22, Li Mu has been busy attending various year-end summary meetings.

In fact, before this, American companies did not have the habit of holding year-end summary meetings, for American capitalists, "humanized management" is still a strange word, capitalists can not care whether their employees in the enterprise have worked hard for a year, need to have some stimulating rewards, share the joy of enterprise development, capitalists think that they have paid salaries, which is worthy of the employees' efforts, there is no need to pay more for this.

Li Mu does not think so, Li Mu knows the meaning of "humanized management", since the development of the enterprise is inseparable from the efforts of employees, then even the lowest cleaners, they also need to get a sense of respect, if there is a year-end reward that looks very good, it is of great significance to the encouragement of employees, so that the enterprise can form a stronger cohesion, stimulate the enthusiasm of employees to a greater extent, and effectively establish the image of the Junma Group, which is particularly important for the Junma Group that has been established for less than half a year.

That's right, although the assets have exceeded 100 million, the establishment of Junma Group has really been less than half a year.

Starting from last year's Horse Arms Company, the Horse Group now owns the Horse Arms Company, the Horse Electric Company, the San Diego Investment Company, the Horse Motor Company, the Horse Laboratory and other subordinate enterprises, all of which are basically wholly-owned enterprises or holding companies, in addition to the Carnegie-Riem Steel Company, Corbyn-Rim Shipping Company, Rockefeller-Riem Petrochemical Company, etc., which together form the Horse Group.

On the 21st, Henry, general manager of Junma Group, came to Governor's Island to report to Li Mu on the achievements of the year.

As general manager, Henry's data is certainly more detailed than the Boston Evening Post's data.

At the beginning, the Boston Evening News gave only an estimate of about $2 million when it valued the Horse Arms Company, but in Henry's case, the annual output value of the Horse Arms Company in 1873 had exceeded $4 million, and the profit exceeded $2.5 million, which was obviously not something that could be summed up by two million.

"-- The Horse Arms Company produced a total of 9,600 python pistols this year, and the profit from this alone exceeded $150,000, compared with the Python craft pistol, and although we only produced less than 500 craft pistols, the total profit was about $200,000, and the average profit per craft pistol was about $500, and the profitability was comparable to the Rainstorm light machine gun just developed in the second half of the year; Speaking of the Storm machine guns, the Horse Arms Company contributes to the maximum profitability, our orders are already scheduled until the end of next year, the Ministry of War and the United Cuban States are our biggest customers - Speaking of the United States of Cuba, Reem, if you will, we can think of a way to export tax rebates, then our profitability will be higher - "Henry is not afraid of money, and he does everything he can to increase the profits of the Horse Group, including some kind of gray means, of course.

Export tax rebates, there is a lot of work to be done, in view of the relationship between Li Mu and the United States of Cuba, if Li Mu and the United States of Cuba sing a double reed, then more benefits can be obtained from the US government.

"No, we don't do those unsightly things, and the development of the enterprise must develop steadily step by step, without leaving the slightest stain." Li Mu does not intend to do this, and if the current trend continues, the Junma Arms Company will sooner or later become the leader of the US military industry, and a positive image will be more conducive to the Junma Arms Company gaining the trust of Washington.

"Okay, then the next is the Horse Electric Company, the electric company is divided into the electric light department and the telephone department, the electric light department is operating well, although the actual operation time is relatively late, but the ability to absorb gold is strong, the annual output value is 14 million US dollars, we are negotiating with the New York City government on New York City public lighting, if we win this project, then our revenue will be doubled; The telephone department has actually just started its operations in New York because it was previously suppressed by the New York City government, but in Boston, we have scheduled to install until May next year, which is no less good business than electric lights, and the current output value does not represent its actual value. "Henry expects a lot from the electrical company, and in fact, in the current Kufma Group, the electric company is the most profitable division.

"Sending people to Europe next year to set up a European company, we can't pin our hopes on cooperation, for the electric company, the establishment of a wholly-owned subsidiary in Europe can grab the maximum profit for us." Li Mu was ambitious and did not want to share the profits of electric lights and telephones with others.

Electric lights, telephones and smokeless gunpowder are not the same, smokeless gunpowder is a military enterprise, no matter which country to open a factory, will cause the country's attention and vigilance, so in the promotion of smokeless gunpowder, Li Mu chose the way is to cooperate, looking for a strong enterprise in Europe as a partner, which is not only conducive to the promotion of smokeless gunpowder, but also conducive to the development of follow-up projects.

For example, because of the smokeless gunpowder project, the ZAMA Group has established a good relationship with Enfeld and Krupp, and the help of these two companies is very helpful for the ZAMA Group to explore the British and German markets.

"If you want to set up a wholly-owned subsidiary, then you need to make additional investment in Junma Electric Company," Henry said, grimacing.

The electrical industry is said to be highly profitable and high-income, but in fact it is also a high investment.

For example, electric lights and telephones, both of which are projects with high infrastructure requirements, are two new things, and the technology of electric lights and telephones is not complete.

In the previous study, the power generation equipment of Junma Electric Company can only supply about 20 electric lights, if more electric lights need to be supplied, then unless the power supply equipment is increased, the power supply intensity will be reduced, and the lighting effect will be weakened.

This problem wants to be solved, unless it is to build a large-scale hydroelectric power station, or to build a thermal power station, but the construction of large-scale power supply facilities also faces a thorny problem, that is, the loss of electricity in long-distance power supply, this problem is more protracted to solve, so Junma Electric Company is currently only looking for a suitable area for the construction of hydropower stations, and does not have the idea of starting construction.

The telephone is the same, the telephone of this year is the need for an operator, the laying of the line needs the cooperation of the municipal government, the current telephone is limited to urban calls, if you want to expand the telephone project to the intercity, then the difficulty will be doubled, even if it is a horse electric company, now it is also powerless.

If you want to change the status quo, you also need to expect the progress of technology, and the switch is the focus, which can greatly reduce the workload of the operator, and at the same time is more conducive to the reasonable planning of the line.

So don't look at the huge profits of Junma Electric now, but if you consider the same expensive infrastructure work, it is really not enough for Junma Electric to earn this little money.

"Don't worry about money, how much money do you need to make a report, and then go to Chu Xue, and she will write you a check." Li Mu is not worried about the lack of funds, there are still more than 30 million US dollars stolen from Tweed lying in the basement of Governors Island, which are strictly black money, but it is not a problem for Li Mu to want to launder it.

Li Mu has a good relationship with the United States of Cuba, the US tax department can inspect the financial projects of the Junma Group, but there is no way to check the financial status of the San Diego Investment Company, Li Mu can completely take out the money in the name of the San Diego Investment Company through legal channels, according to the relevant laws and regulations of the United States, if the money is used for reinvestment, then there is no need to pay taxes.

The capitalist system is so good!

In the same way, Li Mu can provide money laundering services for some people, and Arthur has a lot of money, and it is also unsightly black money, if Li Mu offers to help Arthur launder money, then Arthur must be happy to pay Li Mu a part of the handling fee-

"Then no problem, as of December this year, the total assets of the Horse Group have exceeded 110 million US dollars, if we publish this financial report, then Reem, you are undoubtedly the richest man in the United States!" Heng offered his knees with a look of amazement, and his admiration for Li Mu was as endless as the Connecticut River.

"Why publish? I don't want those false names, it won't do me any good-" Li Mu has passed the stage of needing fame, through yesterday's audit, Li Mu suddenly realized that being a rich man hidden under the water seems to be more in line with Li Mu's expectations, as for the "Chinese Exclusion Act", Li Mu is now sure to stifle this possibility, with the experience of the Labor Knights, I believe that in the United States in the future, not many people will continue to talk about the work attitude of the Chinese.

"Henry, I will register a few more companies next year, and put the company under the names of Chuxue and Will, and the shares of the Junma Group will be diverted in the future, and they can't all be placed in my name." Li Mu wanted to split the company, and he didn't want to make himself the target of public criticism.

Americans are still very sensitive to "monopoly", the DuPont family, Rockefeller, and even Carnegie's company have all encountered monopoly investigations, and the lights and telephones of Junma Electric Company have not attracted attention at present, but if they continue to develop according to this momentum, then sooner or later they will also encounter monopoly investigations, so Li Mu now wants to split the shares and get out a few "competitors" in advance, so as to divert the attention of others.

"Will-" Henry's expression was playful, and his eyes flickered as he looked at Li Mu.

"Don't worry, I trust Will." Li Mu knew what Henry was worried about, to be honest, it was really unnecessary.
