538 Nikolai

Maybe the whole world knows that the Junma Group and the British do not deal with each other, but the people of the Qing Empire are not included, because the people of the Qing Empire and the people outside the Qing Empire are two worlds.

There are many reasons why the British don't like the Horse Group, such as the American background of the Horse Group.

Compared with Li Mu's Chinese background, the British hated the American background of the Junma Group even more, after all, the Qing Empire could not pose any threat to the British, let alone a person who broke away from the Qing Empire.

The United States is different, the grievances between the Americans and the British are children without mothers, it is a long story, spread out and said that it is estimated that this chapter is not enough to talk about, not to mention the previous grievances, just talking about the current development momentum of the United States, it is enough for the British to worry.

Although the economic crisis of the previous year broke out in the United States, in contrast, the British economy was more affected, not only in British industry and commerce, but also in the British financial industry.

After the outbreak of the economic crisis, most of the British investors in the U.S. financial market were forced to cut their flesh and withdraw from the United States, which means that all the money they earned in the U.S. market in the previous ten years was forced to spit out, which gave some people in the United States the opportunity to buy the bottom. Well, the British capital, which has forgotten the pain, will enter the United States again, and then it will be a new round of pig raising operations, and when the pigs are fattened, I believe that another economic crisis will break out.

So don't think that the Americans, of course, cut meat at every turn, and it seems that they are doing everything, in fact, this trick has been started as early as the 19th century.

The British are not ignorant of this situation, but even the British are aware of their helplessness, after all, the United States is currently the world's largest emerging market, and if funds do not pour into the United States, will they stay in the old castle of Britain and become moldy?

So Britain's feelings towards the United States are complicated, it's a standard love-hate.

If the Junma Group is willing to go public, then the British may behave more friendly to the Junma Group, because it means that the British may control a part of the shares of the Junma Group and become a shareholder of the Junma Group.

But Li Mu is an extremely conservative person in this regard, and he has no intention of listing Junma Group at all, so the British only hate and have no love for Junma Group.

As the only empire in the world where the sun never sets, the British are also representatives of conservatives around the world, they refuse to change, or they are afraid of change, they just want to hold their position, and they do not want to see and cannot accept the emergence of challengers, so the British are hostile to the Horse Group in all aspects.

Since it is hostile, it must be unpleasant to each other, so as long as there is an opportunity, the British are very willing to make some trouble for Li Mu, even if it is not even a trouble at all, but as long as it can make Li Mu feel uncomfortable because of this, it can be regarded as achieving the goal.

Li Mu didn't know these Britons, and he didn't care who these Britons were, Li Mu could not be embarrassed for the sake of his compatriots, but this did not mean that Li Mu could endure the provocation of the British.

So when the Englishman expressed interest in the lacquerware in Chu Xue's hand, Li Mu immediately showed his arbitrariness: "Don't think about it, everything here belongs to me, and you don't have a chance to get any of them." ā€

After hearing this, Rong Hong's expression can be described as happy and worried, happy that this trip is finally worth the trip, and for that worry, it is completely the gains and losses of the rats that get into the bellows.

If you don't do it, you will be angry at both ends.

"Is that so?" The old god of the British is there, and they don't take Li Mu's stubble at all, and blindly hold Rong Hong.

"Of course not, of course not, everyone has a chance..."Before Rong Hong could speak, a middle-aged official next to him was busy.

"Brother Xiaochi, be cautious..."Rong Hong was not slow to react, and immediately intercepted the conversation.

"Koike" is the inscription on the archway by Lee Gyu.

Li Gui is the founder of the modern postal service of the Qing Dynasty, and he also took the opportunity to participate in the Centennial Exhibition of Independence to inspect the United States Postal Service, this is the first time Li Gui has come to the United States, so he has no idea what Li Mu and Junma Group mean in New York.

Li Gui can "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers", but Rong Hong will not make such a mistake, Rong Hong's Springfield is now almost the world of the Horse Group, thanks to his Chinese identity, Rong Hong's social status in Springfield is also rising, so although Rong Hong does not say it, he has no trace of gratitude to Li Mu in his heart, of course, this kind of gratitude is never dared to show it, otherwise Rong Hong's plan is estimated to die halfway.

Although Li Gui didn't know who Li Mu was, he was not stupid, and when he heard Rong Hong say this, Li Gui immediately shut up, and then sued and pulled Rong Hong to the side to whisper.

"Mr. Li Mu, what you do is not in line with what a gentleman does." The Englishman shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands in a very high gesture of regret.

"Less nonsense, how many years have you only been ashore?" Li Mu is welcome, don't look at the Englishman in front of him who looks like a dog, Bacheng Ancestor is also a pirate, and now he has some money and starts to pretend to be a gentleman, and he doesn't look at whether his ass is wiped clean.

Although I don't know who the Englishman in front of him is, Li Mu is not worried that he is wrong, in fact, the British are so stinky and shameless, if it weren't for the Queen of England issuing the "privateering order", the British wouldn't even be able to do it, so no one in the UK is clean from top to bottom.

A person who prides himself on being a gentleman is most afraid of others picking up his black history, Li Mu said lightly, and immediately made the Englishman in front of him angry.

This time, it's not just the nose and neck that are red, but even the brain.

Many British people have a red nose, which is a sign of alcoholism, this kind of nose is also called a rosacea nose by many Chinese, as for the red neck, in a general sense, this is the ridicule of the Americans in the north to the Americans in the south, in fact, many whites are red necks, and there are many in the north of the United States.

"Doesn't it feel good? Slowly you will get used to it. "Li Mucai is not talking nonsense, this is New York, Li Mu's home field, as long as it is something that Li Mu likes, no one wants to interfere.

It doesn't matter if he intervenes, if Rong Hongzhen sells these lacquerware to the British, Li Mu is also confident that these British people will not be able to ship these things out of New York.

Even if the British could find the ship, Li Mu was confident that the ship would not return to the UK.

Now in the 19th century, there were so many pirates at sea, so it was normal for an ocean-going ship to have an accident, and insurance companies would not insure such ships.

"Don't be complacent, you'll regret it one day." The British glared at Li Mu for a long time with a murderous gaze, but he only held back this sentence.

Li Mu was about to ridicule him, but Mike reported in his ear: "This is Leonardo Albert from Yorkshire, he is a shareholder of Enfield, and the Albert family is a well-known family in Yorkshire. ā€

Oh oh oh, it turns out that there is still this relationship, no wonder he is so arrogant, he dares to assert that Li Mu will regret it in the future.

That will have to wait until Enfield can take out the Steed Arms.

And this is New Yorkshire, not Yorkshire, so Li Mu really doesn't care about the Albert family, even Prince Albert Li Mu can not care.

"I don't care who you are, if you have the ability, prove it to me." Li Mu casually threw down his words, and regardless of what Rong Hong and Li Gui discussed, he turned around and left with this first snow.

I've already bought them anyway, so if you want to see them, I'll take a look at them when I get home.

Out of the Qing Empire's exhibition area, next to the Japanese exhibition area, Li Mu originally wanted to go to the Japanese exhibition area to take a look, even if he didn't buy anything to play prestige, but under Mason's resolute obstruction, Li Mu had no choice but to give up.

Mason's reason was that Li Mu's safety could not be guaranteed, because no one was sure that there would be two fools attacking Li Mu when Li Mu was picking, even if it was the only possibility.

In fact, Li Mu is not worried about this problem, how can there be so many fools? If Li Mu is attacked by the Japanese staff in the Japanese exhibition area, then the Japanese will wait for the retaliation of the Junma Group, Li Mu can be sure that the Japanese will never give Li Mu a chance to make trouble, how stupid must this be to pick this opportunity to take revenge.

After looking around, Li Mu finally came to the exhibition area of the United States Patent Office.

In order to participate in this independent centennial exhibition, the patent office took out all the things at the bottom of the box, with a total of about 60,000 pictures and 5,000 invention models.

In recent years, new things have emerged in the United States, especially since the Civil War, new immigrants have come to the United States from the old and conservative Europe, as if they have come into contact with a new world, and for the first time really feel what it means to be unfettered freedom, so there are new inventions almost every day.

Not all inventors have such a good fortune as Li Mu, although more inventors have successfully applied for patents, because there is no start-up capital, or they cannot find investors, their inventions can only be pressed in the pile of old papers in the patent office, waiting for someone to discover them.

The U.S. Patent Office also considered that this situation was not good for the patent office and the inventors themselves, so this time it was really a nest to sell these patents for a good price.

Li Mu will come to the patent office exhibition area as long as he has time these days, and maybe he will find something good, and Li Mu will be able to toss out a gold-absorbing monster again.

Speaking of which, in fact, Li Mu himself is also a big inventor who has been registered in the patent office, so the staff is very familiar with Li Mu, Li Mu just entered the door, more than a dozen staff immediately rushed up, moving chairs, pouring coffee and coffee, meticulous service, and some people took the initiative to help Li Mu bring those valuable pictures and models, hoping that Li Mu could be generous.

Li Mu is indeed generous to new inventions, the day before yesterday Li Mu just saw a new transmission structure, in order to get this transmission structure, Li Mu threw out 10,000 US dollars in one go, this money is insignificant for Li Mu, but for the patent office and the inventor himself is a surprise.

In these years, the phrase "knowledge is power" is not fully reflected, and it is not just a matter of someone who will throw tens of thousands of dollars at a new invention in one go, even if it is Rockefeller and J. Brown. Neither will P. Morgan.

Rockefeller now has his own laboratory, so he would rather see the results of his own laboratory than buying patents.

As for JĀ· P. Morgan, he is an investor, not an industrialist, and if the inventor himself is interested, maybe J. Morgan. P. Morgan will invest, but let J. Morgan P. Morgan went to run it himself, so people didn't have this interest.

Compared with business entities, it is too simple to invest in finance to make money, and more and more Americans will fall in love with JĀ· P. Morgan's way of making money.

Li Mu also likes finance, so he has the Bank of America, but in comparison, Li Mu prefers industry, so the core industry of the Junma Group has always been the Junma Arms Company, and Li Mu has always regarded himself as a successful "gun dealer".

There are really a lot of good things in the patent office, and soon, Li Mu found another patent for explosives and a patent for telegraphs.

These two patents are actually not very valuable, but since they can be patented in the patent office, then there is a certain merit, so Li Mu gave this explosives patent to Henry DuPont to see if Henry DuPont was interested, and then transferred the telegraph patent to Junma Communications Company to see if there was any residual value to be extracted.

The price of the two patents is not high, and the patent office only offers $15,000 together, which includes the remuneration paid to the patent owner and the patent office's commission, which is really similar to picking up for nothing.

"Reem, Mr. Nikolai has arrived." Yan Shun hurried over, his face full of joy.

"Nikolai" is the famous Nikola Tesla, Nikola Tesla has been studying at the Graz University of Technology in Austria, last year Nikola Tesla was forced to drop out of school because of the loss of scholarships, it is because of the funding of the Horse Group, Nikola Tesla was able to continue his studies, Nikola Tesla also vowed that after graduation, he will definitely work for the Horse Group.

Li Mu originally wanted to get Nikola Tesla to the United States after Nikola Tesla finished his studies, but now it doesn't seem that necessary, Li Mu is also afraid of long nights and dreams, so let's get people over first.

In other words, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is not much worse than the Graz University of Technology in Austria, but it really can't be Harvard.
