Rockefeller's life is a history of struggles with different people, with his father, brothers, friends, enemies, and so on.

So far, 95 percent of the oil refineries in the United States have belonged to Rockefeller, the huge oil empire trust has been fully formed, Rockefeller has finally had the heart to expand the business to the field outside of oil, with the pearl of the national automobile rally in front, sports is a good object, although it is not yet possible to see how much output, but Li Mu's concern about the industry has always had good prospects, Rockefeller does not want to miss the opportunity.

"The snow storm will not break our backbones, and New York will be reborn after the disaster, because we have a strong faith" Arthur was impassioned on the stage, interrupted by applause every two sentences on average, and the lawmakers all stood and listened, not only because of their inner excitement, but also because the council hall was not heated.

Compared with the shortage of food, the fuel problem is even more serious, and people will not die of hunger even if they do not eat for three or two days, but in the bitter cold weather, they cannot survive all night without heating facilities.

In order to lead by example, the New York City government has tried everything to save resources, even the heating in the council hall has been temporarily stopped, and the lawmakers have no problem with this, anyway, they will not freeze to death for a while, this is a show, no one wants to be left behind.

"The army is assembling at West Point, and it is estimated that the external traffic will be opened tomorrow, and it is the right time to stand up at this time" Rockefeller knew more information that ordinary people did not know, and complained while applauding with the congressmen, the key is that the expression on his face is still very focused, which is rare.

"The invincible American spirit" Li Mu also complained, Arthur's speech was also scripted, and the person who wrote the script knew how to mobilize emotions.

The 1st Cavalry Division led by Will is assembling at West Point, 50 kilometers from New York City, and West Point cadets will also participate in the disaster relief operation.

During the Civil War, more than 400 officers who graduated from West Point served in the military, including Ulysses Grant of the Northern Army and Robert Lee of the Southern Army, all of whom graduated from the West Point Military Academy.

Since 1812, the West Point Military Academy has been continuously expanded, and now has nearly 1,000 cadets, the formation of these cadets is a regiment, if the United States reaches the point of life and death, the students of the West Point Military Academy can directly form a regiment and go to the battlefield, which is also the last hole card in the hands of the United States War Department.

"We can't pin our hopes on others, we can only save ourselves, so we have to save ourselves, believe that God will bless us, and we will definitely overcome the snow disaster!" Arthur finally wrapped up his speech, and it was time for Mayor Edward Jeffrey to perform.

"How? I'm not doing bad, right? After Arthur finished his speech, he went directly to the second floor and proudly displayed to Li Mu and Rockefeller.

"Wonderful!" Rockefeller sincerely praised Arthur's speech was indeed very good, and if it was replaced by Rockefeller, it might not be so good.

The so-called art industry has a specialty, similar to Rockefeller and Li Mu, they are not good at talking about cannons, they are better at "doing", so they run the industry, and politicians can only discuss national affairs.

Note that this is just a discussion, and it is not they who really have the right to make decisions, but the financiers behind them are the real speakers.

"You shouldn't come down now, you should be on the stage with Edward Jeffrey, a good politician can't give up the stage under any circumstances." Li Mu quietly reminded, Arthur's eyes widened and he made a frightened expression, and immediately turned around and went downstairs, quietly appearing behind Edward Jeffrey, who was speaking.

Now I know why there were so many people standing behind him when the President of the United States signed, they were all playful, even if they were not qualified to sit down and sign, at least they had to be familiar.

"Let's go, let's talk about the club." Rockefeller didn't want to continue, it was enough to fight once for this kind of thing, and it was easy to increase blood pressure if there were too many times.

Leaving the city hall to return to Battery Park, passing by Bloom Street when encountering a traffic jam, a group of people shouted in front of the car, through the gap in the crowd, vaguely saw the security personnel of the Springfield Company wearing black security uniforms to maintain order, Mason rolled down the window and chatted with the police on the side of the road, shook his head and sighed: "Two Irishmen robbed a bakery, they only robbed three pieces of bread, one was killed on the spot, and the other was shot and sent to the hospital. ”

During the disaster, this kind of thing is actually very common, people's mood will be consciously or unconsciously affected by the weather to deteriorate, at this time any negative emotions will be infinitely amplified, robbery is not uncommon, in New York, this kind of thing happens every day, the police will not be soft to deal with, especially in this period, the speed of warning will be read extremely fast.

Compared with the police of the Republic, the American police are the real violent law enforcement agencies, and there will never be such a thing as slapping the police in the United States, and the average police officer has raised his pistol before being beaten, and if the suspect is still attacking at this time, the American police will not hesitate to shoot, even if the suspect is not armed, as long as the police think that they are in danger, they can take coercive measures, which must include shooting in self-defense.

Li Mu often sees the performance of the US police in disasters on the Internet in the 21st century, generally speaking, guns are carried with them, this is not a kind of goods, there are bullets in the chamber of the gun, and the military and police have the right to shoot in case of emergency.

"Damn the Irish, they didn't bring the slightest wealth to the United States, they only brought chaos and violence." When Rockefeller said this, he must have forgotten that he also had Irish genes in his body.

The Rockefeller family is descended from Germans and English, Scottish and Irish peoples, and its origins can be traced as far back as "Lokenfeller" in Neuweed, Rhineland, western Germany, where it still stands today.

Almost all employers in the United States hate the Irish, the Irish group represents "lazy, dirty, and extremely incompatible with input and output" in the minds of employers, and Rockefeller is no exception, and when there is a choice, Rockefeller does not like the Irish, even Mexicans are more capable than Irish, although it seems that Irish have stronger bodies than Mexicans, but Irish people seem to be reluctant to use their bodies, and under all things being equal, Mexicans are twice as productive as Irishmen.

In this way, the Chinese do have an innate advantage, perhaps this is the reason why Rockefeller did not hate Li Mu in the first place.

As for the reason now, of course, Li Mu can bring profits to Rockefeller, otherwise Rockefeller would not be in the same car as Li Mu.

"It's time to put an end to this, and if it goes on like this, New York will become a sin city." Li Mu couldn't wait to see that the weather cleared, and the snow continued to fall so endlessly, and people would be driven crazy even if they didn't freeze to death.

"Hear you say that, as if New York wasn't Sin City in the first place." Rockefeller probably didn't like New York very much, and he didn't think highly of New York.

"Ha" Li Mu didn't explain, and ended the topic with a haha, there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, and there are two million New Yorkers in the eyes of two million New Yorkers, for some people, New York is heaven, and for another part, New York is hell.

The police worked very efficiently, no one dared to let the convoy of the two tycoons stay on the street for too long, the crowd was quickly evacuated, when the car passed by the scene of the crime, Li Mu casually glanced at it, and saw a person lying on the road, the blood under his body had congealed, and there were some bread crumbs scattered around, and the two Chuntian Security Company security personnel next to the corpse looked indifferent, these two people were also white faces, and when they saw Li Mu's car, the expressions on their faces were immediately replaced by a sneer.

Li Mu shook his head, lowered the curtain behind the car window, and really couldn't squeeze out a smile on the two security guards, the guy who died may have a reason to die, but this whole thing has a cold smell, just like this damn weather, without a trace of human touch.

When the car arrived at Battery Park, Li Mu and Rockefeller didn't want to go to the office, so the two of them simply went to the beach club to sit down.

At any time, the rich always have privileges, and the New York City legislators can not light the fireplace for show, and the beach club has no scruples, lifting the thick curtains, and walking in as if with a body of steam, just a few steps, Li Mu feels as if he has swam back and forth from the Hudson River.

"It's still comfortable here, that's why I'm desperately chasing wealth, I always like to stand on a high place and look down, it makes me feel like I'm looking down on all beings." Standing at the glass window on the third floor, Rockefeller did two chest expansion exercises, moving his chest muscles, and his tone was full of unparalleled confidence.

"Who isn't? In order to make life better for ourselves, for the life of a loved one, for the life of a loved one, in order to make life better for those who love us, we just need a reason. Li Mu also likes the feeling of overlooking, but not to overlook all beings, but to have a wide field of vision, which allows Li Mu to see further.

"Damn, the Philadelphia city government is a big quagmire right now, you don't know how unscrupulous the Paul Mesfield gang is, and now the Philadelphia city government owes a full $45 million in foreign debt, even if you sell the whole of Philadelphia, it's not worth so much money." Rockefeller suddenly mentioned Paul Mesfield, which shocked Rockefeller, which shows how unsuccessful Paul Mesfield was as mayor.

From another point of view, in fact, this just shows that Paul Maysfield is a qualified city boss, and it is not ordinary people who can owe $45 million in foreign debt, and Ulysses Grant does not have the courage to do so.

"Think of Tweed, it's not normal if Paul Masefield doesn't owe money." Li Mu was already surprised, only 45 million US dollars, which was not enough to qualify compared to Tweed's entire shipload of wealth.

"I regret it now, I haven't made money in politics as a monopoly, and I knew that I should have become a lawyer in the first place." Rockefeller is frozen out of his brain, no matter how you look at it, lawyers and politicians are inferior to monopoly capitalists.

Before American politicians entered politics, many of them were lawyers, perhaps because they knew the law best, so they knew how to exploit loopholes.

"Go, I support you, it's not too late to act, you can sell Standard Oil to me, and I will help you fulfill the ideal of monopolizing the oil industry." Li Mu casually joked, if Rockefeller really sold it, then Li Mu really bought it.

"Dream on you, will you sell me the Horse Arms Company? I'll pay twice the price. Rockefeller laughed and scolded, that is, Li Mu can make this kind of joke, and it is estimated that Rockefeller has turned his face.

In the eighties of the nineteenth century, not only the Horse Group was born, but Standard Oil also completed the transformation from a sparrow to a phoenix.

In 1858, Rockefeller used $1,000 borrowed from his father to do business in Kashgar, and then got involved in the oil industry, and soon expanded the business to the million-dollar level, in 1870, Rockefeller founded Standard Oil, two years later, Standard Oil has controlled 21 of the 26 refineries in Cleveland, and then in 1874, Rockefeller's Standard Oil continued to expand, and successfully expanded its business beyond Cleveland, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New York, in just a few years, Standard Oil has a business throughout the United States, becoming a veritable trust of the oil empire.

"Have you entered the money-throwing mode?" Li Mu is eager to try, he really wants to fight for a lot of money, and Li Mu is really not afraid of Rockefeller.

"Let's not hurt each other, if you want to have some fun, why not try the west side of the East." Rockefeller pointed out a clear way to Li Mu, if it wasn't for Rockefeller's reminder, Li Mu almost forgot about it.

Rockefeller refers to the Vanderbilt family that has been dying, with the aging of Corneelier Vanderbilt, the Vanderbilt family has been glorious, although John Vanderbilt has been trying to transform, but the attempt has not been successful, there were rumors a few days ago that Conelliers Vanderbilt's life has entered the dying stage, once Conelliers Vanderbilt dies, with John Vanderbilt's ability, it is estimated that he will not be able to keep the family business created by Conelliers Vanderbilt.

"What, you're interested?" Li Mu wants to pull Rockefeller into the water, the Vanderbilt family is the first "billionaire" in the actual sense of the United States, with Li Mu's appetite, now want to swallow the Vanderbilt family is still not strong enough, but if you pull Rockefeller, it is difficult to say, after all, in this regard, Rockefeller is an expert, look at the history of Standard Oil, that is also the history of blood and tears in the American oil industry.
