Li Mu in 1878 had in fact just turned eighteen years old.

Many people deliberately pretend to be young on the issue of age, but Li Mu is different, about four or five years ago, Li Mu has deliberately shaped the shape to get old, so the current Li Mu looks like someone believes it even if he is thirty years old.

Don't think that the nineteenth century is useless, Situ Lei has talents under him, let alone thirty years old, if Li Mu is willing, even if Li Mu is painted as forty years old, it is no problem.

Even if it is a thirty-year-old Li Mu, it is not appropriate to appear on such an occasion, but fortunately, Li Mu has a soul more than forty years old in his body after all, which makes Li Mu's entire temperament change dramatically, at least, no one will despise Li Mu because of Li Mu's age.

"Your Excellency, excuse me, John and I want to spend a warm holiday in Luzon, in fact, you don't have to care about us at all, it's just a private trip, and there is no business plan." Li Mu told the truth, this may be a little hurtful, but this is in line with Li Mu's identity.

Just kidding, whether it's the Stallion Group or Standard Oil, in fact, their annual profits exceed the GDP of the whole of Luzon, which sounds a bit incredible, but in fact this is the truth, a small country and a widow are so weak in front of the trust boss.

"The days on the ship are so boring that I want to go crazy, Your Excellency, can we talk somewhere else?" Rockefeller is also not polite to Fernand Gonzalez Jr., this is not because of the national strength of Luzon, Rockefeller is the same to anyone, even in the face of Hayes, as long as there is unsatisfactory, Rockefeller will say it directly.

"Of course, I prepared some Luzon-style food at the Presidential Palace, so let's go now." Fernand Gonzalez Jr. probably didn't expect Rockefeller to be so faceless, there is probably a cognitive error here, but Li Mu is not ready to point it out.

The welcome ceremony in the harbor ended hastily, and Li Mu and Rockefeller went directly to the presidential palace at the insistence of Fernand Gonzalez Jr.

Li Mu and Lin Xianghai rode in the same car.

"Mr. Ream, it's a pleasure to meet you, I know all your experiences in the United States, there is no doubt that you are a role model for all Chinese people in the world, maybe you don't know how much your deeds inspire us, that makes us really realize for the first time that we Chinese are no worse than whites, or any other race." As soon as Lin Xianghai got in the car, he talked endlessly, and there was an obvious Spanish habit in his words.

"Let's be practical, Mr. Vice President, you're still the Speaker of Congress, why don't you go further?" Li Mu didn't talk nonsense, and he went straight to the point when he came up.

Vice president.

Very good!

Speaker!

It's also very good, but to better protect the interests of the Chinese in Luzon, Lin Xianghai still needs to go further.

Maybe Lin Xianghai will be embarrassed, but for Li Mu, everything is a floating cloud, strength is the most critical factor, and power comes out of the barrel of a gun.

"Sorry, Mr. Reem, I didn't quite live up to your expectations." Lin Xianghai was quite embarrassed.

"Call me Li Mu, or Reem, no matter what, we are all in the same vein." Li Mu corrected Lin Xianghai's mistake in title.

"Okay, Reem, nice to meet you." Lin Xianghai finally determined Li Mu's character, this is not a person who is good at cheating, in the face of Li Mu, it is best to be less careful.

The reception banquet prepared by Fernand Gonzalez Jr. for Li Mu and Rockefeller was naturally perfect, but Li Mu and his party were not very interested, Gloria, Chu Xue and Anne went back early to rest, and the reception banquet did not last too long.

The residence arranged by Fernand Gonzalez Jr. for Li Mu is in the presidential palace, it is a two-story villa, and of course all security matters are in charge of Li Mu's guards, Lin Xianghai did not leave as soon as possible, but had a long talk with Li Mu in the study on the first floor.

"I don't know what you're hesitating about, Brother Xiang Hai, the Far Eastern Company's intervention in Luzon independence is not just to deal with the Spaniards, the treatment suffered by the Chinese in Luzon during the Spanish rule, I think, you are more painful than me, so now, what are you waiting for? Waiting for little Fernand Gonzalez to give you a zen position? Stop dreaming! "In private, Li Mu is completely unkind, if Li Mu is in Luzon, Luzon has long been monolithic by now, and there is no chance for the local natives at all.

What Li Mu said was the truth, Lin Xianghai opened his mouth, but he didn't have any excuse.

The traditional thinking of the Chinese is still too benevolent, to educate the royal road, to raze the raze, it is all the whimsy of the rotten Confucianism in the court, if the barbarian can be educated, can it still be a barbarian? The world is very big, but the living space of the Chinese is very small, if you want to get a greater living space, you must eliminate the indigenous people on the original land, and someone must take the initiative to take responsibility, otherwise, even if the social status of Chinese Americans is improved, it will not affect the Far East.

It is too far from the United States, the Far East.

"Mr. Ream, now the living environment of the Chinese in Luzon is unprecedentedly good, the Chinese are no longer treated differently, and they no longer have to pay any unreasonable taxes, the Chinese can buy houses and land in Luzon, and the Luzon government will protect the legitimate rights and interests of the Chinese. Lin Xianghai is not without ambition, but Lin Xianghai's plan, compared with Li Mu's plan, seems to be a rhythm slower.

"One thing I want to remind you of, John and I came to Luzon to deal with the Dutch's Shell oil, so, whether you want it or not, the Far East, for a long time to come, will be in the bloody wind, consider Xianghai, I prefer to solve the problem once and for all, rather than through some shit legal procedures, there is a problem, Xianghai, under your protection, the Chinese in Luzon have temporarily escaped the crisis, but in the whole of Southeast Asia, how many Chinese are still frightened and can't sleep at night, you, Ever wondered about this question? "Li Mu must think much more than Lin Xianghai, although Lin Xianghai became the vice president and the speaker, after all, there are limitations in thinking, Li Mu does not, in the Far East, Li Mu does not need to worry about any situation, any country.

Sounds a bit arrogant, doesn't it?

But this is the truth, with Li Mu's current position in the United States, even if Li Mu breaks through the heinous disaster, Washington will do its best to protect Li Mu's interests, which has nothing to do with justice, and capital is the only factor that determines everything.

What Li Mu pointed out is also a problem that Lin Xianghai has been deliberately ignoring.

How many Chinese are there in Southeast Asia?

There is no specific answer to this question, in the nineteenth century, whether it was the British, the French, or the Dutch, they did not care about the survival of the Chinese, in their eyes, all Asians were the same, and they were not willing to make a big effort to distinguish between that person was Chinese and that person was Japanese, which was meaningless, because neither Chinese nor Japanese was worthy of value in the eyes of the colonial rulers.

"Far away, I won't talk about it, French Indochina, British Malaysia, Dutch East Indies, these places, how many Chinese are enduring humiliation, do you have any specific statistics here?" Li Mu continued to make difficulties, this is not something that Li Mu can embarrass Lin Xianghai, Lin Xianghai's work did make mistakes.

Well, in the final analysis, it's class limitations that are at work.

"Mr. Li Mu, we have also done a lot of work for the Chinese in Southeast Asia, after the founding of Luzon, we sent people to French Indochina, British Malaysia, and the Dutch East Indies to carry out propaganda, as long as you have the identity of the Chinese, you can settle down in Luzon, and the Luzon government will protect the stable life of all Chinese in Tokyo and South Asia." Lin Xianghai also hit the sky, Lin Xianghai also did his best for the Chinese in Southeast Asia, but unfortunately, as Li Mu knew, most of the Chinese living in the British, French and Dutch colonies did not believe that Luzon could do this.

"The reason why I don't believe it is because the propaganda is not enough, or rather, those Chinese have not yet had the pain of seppuku, to the sea, I have a proposal, send a small team to infiltrate French Indochina, British Malaysia, and the Dutch East Indies, at the right time, to catch them all, and then throw the pot to the British and French, wait and see, the British and French are not so fraternal, if they show more kindness, I believe that many Chinese hired workers on the plantation will be content with their current life, This group of people probably doesn't play any role. Li Mu did his best to incite Lin Xianghai, if Li Mu was asked to do this, it is estimated that Li Mu would be familiar with the road, but Li Mu was going to return to New York after all, and on Luzon's side, Lin Xianghai had the final say.

"Mr. Ream, if we infiltrate British Malaysia and French Indochina, will we invite retaliation from the British and French? I adore you, there is no doubt about this, in fact, all Chinese who have heard of your deeds will regard you as an object of worship, and your experience has become the support of the faith in the hearts of many Chinese Americans, of course I am willing to liberate all Chinese in Southeast Asia, but this is not realistic. Lin Xianghai still has a lot of concerns, and Lin Xianghai may have considered this issue many times, but after all, the Luzon government has no measures except for a notice that does not hurt or itch.

"Our cognition, there is a misunderstanding here, Xianghai, don't worry about the British and French, British Malaysia, French Indochina, for Britain and France is just a raw material production area, perhaps because of the excellent geographical location, the British and French attach more importance to their presence in the Far East, but this can't change anything, Xianghai, you can try first, I'm in Luzon, at least half a year, I'm waiting for your good news." Li Mu directly gave Lin Xianghai courage, if he didn't do it well, it would mean that Lin Xianghai had no value in cultivating.

At the beginning of December, New York was already icy and snowy, but in Southeast Asia, the climatic conditions were still very good, early in the morning, Li Mu asked Rockefeller, Anne, and Elizabeth to attend a private dinner held by Li Mu, and this dinner would not be attended by Luzon officials, which gave Li Mu and Rockefeller the greatest degree of freedom.

"I have sent people to the Dutch East Indies, they have only one mission, to find out the Shell oil established by the Dutch, to investigate the oil reserves owned by Shell oil, and to wait for the opportunity to sabotage the oil wells and oil fields of Shell oil, Reem, do you also have to do something, you are one of the shareholders of Mobil Oil, and now it is time for you to do your duty." Rockefeller was impatient, and as soon as he got off the ship, he arranged to deal with Shell oil, and Li Mu did not do enough in this regard.

"Come on John, don't think I've done nothing, your target is Shell oil, and my target is all the colonies in Southeast Asia, so, you destroyed the oil wells, but as long as the Dutch want to, they will re-erect them, and my target is all the colonists in Southeast Asia." Li Mu has a deep hatred for white people at the bottom of society, which is actually a good card to play badly.

"Reem, what do you want to do? I don't remember George warning us when we came. "No matter how bold Rockefeller is, he does not dare to act recklessly.

In the United States, of course, Rockefeller is calling for wind and rain, and the New York City Government, the New York State Government, and even Washington, as long as they are instructed by Rockefeller, will do their best to help Rockefeller, which really has little to do with quality.

As a businessman, Rockefeller considered himself a qualified business model, and although he had no competitors, Mobil Oil, which had spread all over the United States, must have been very profitable.

Li Mu has long formulated a set of business methods for Mobil Oil, of course, using the 21st century business mode, as long as Mobil Oil refuels, napkins, fruits, vouchers and other things are always available, which greatly promotes the popularity of Mobil Oil among ordinary people, because of the rapid development of the automobile industry, Mobil Oil in the "Echo" profit list, second only to the Horse Group and Standard Oil.

Let's not talk about whether this report is normal, how can the Republican Party give up on such a big report.

"Let me ask you a question, John, if we don't extend a helping hand to the Chinese in Southeast Asia, and even if we are indifferent to the miserable life of all the Chinese in Southeast Asia except Luzon, will we win the favor of the French government and the British government?" Li Mu doesn't talk about big reasons, and what he says is things that are closely related to interests.

"Probably not, do you think the British government or the French government will compromise for the sake of the Chinese? I don't think they will, the British and the French have never noticed the life and death of the Chinese, and even, we have reason to believe that there must be many untold stories in this. "Until he was seated, Rockefeller didn't feel any difference.

"Hehe, John, let them fend for themselves." Li Mu said that this is not a trial, but it is more effective than a trial.
