In fact, Li Mu has never been a supporter of Hayes. Li Mu originally supported Ulysses Grant's second term. In the end, Li Mu chose Hayes when he had no choice.

At that time, Li Mu did not expect that Hayes was so independent after becoming president. If everything could be expected at that time, then Li Mu would prefer to support James Blaine.

At least James Bryan wouldn't give Li Mu so much trouble.

Two days later, Li Mu returned to Washington and went to the Presidential Palace that night to visit Rutherford Hayes.

Hayes, who has just boarded the president, is no longer worried and is ready to show his fist and write his name in American history.

Hayes didn't know Li Mulai's purpose, and thought Li Mu was for the Panama Canal, so seeing Li Mu had a "I finally proved myself" mentality.

"Controlling the Panama Canal is of great significance to us in the United States, not only at the economic level but also at the political level, and it can also increase our influence in the Americas. After a century, all of us will cease to exist, and the Panama Canal will remain Glorious, that will be our most dazzling work in this world. "When it comes to the Panama Canal, Hayes gushed.

In the process of Hayes's running for president, although Li Mu was nominally a partner of Hayes, the two were allies, and Hayes was the main partner, supplemented by Li Mu.

But in fact, in the process of Hayes's running for president, Li Mu has always played a leading role, and Hayes has only played a supporting role. Although this highlights the importance of Li Mu, it leaves a shadow in Hayes' heart.

Now that Hayes is finally successfully elected president, Hayes's current mentality is very complicated, especially when facing Li Mu.

"So, this is the reason why you asked for a 30% stake in the Panama Canal?" Li Mu did not save Hays, and pointed out that Hayes Lion opened his mouth.

"I think this ratio is appropriate. Lim, I am now the President of the United States, and I have to think about the United States government. I know that the federal government has been operating at a deficit for all these years. I hope to reverse this situation during my tenure. , So you have to support me, just like we had cooperated before. "Hayes knew that her request was a little too much, but too much for a reason.

In the 21st century, the U.S. government was overwhelmed by more and more debts, and closed its doors. In fact, this state has begun from the 19th century. This is also the normal state of the US public sector today, even New York City. The so-called richest local governments are all in debt, and it goes without saying that Washington.

This kind of thing is also normal, and it can be applied everywhere. The so-called "official repair" is the reason.

When Arthur first served as the mayor of New York City, he was also very motivated to eliminate the ills of the Tweed government and bring the financial state of the New York City government to a healthy state.

After Li Mu's enlightenment, Arthur finally gave up the idea, and it turned out that Li Mu was right. Arthur is now leaving the post of Mayor of New York City. The debt scale of the New York City government was even larger during the period of Bitweide ’s administration, but No one accused Arthur of corruption and waste.

It's the same for Hayes. After all, Hayes's term of office is only four years. After four years, Hayes will have to say whether he can successfully stay in office, so it is useless to think too much now. Do it again.

This is also a common problem of democratically elected governments. The term of office determines that government leaders cannot have a long-term vision. They can only live in the present, without having to think about the future. Future leaders naturally worry about future government leaders.

"Why do you think so long and what will happen in the future, we do n’t know anyone now, but I am sure now that within four years, the Panama Canal will definitely not be completed, so even if the Panama Canal will be provided to the US government in the future Huge profits, what does that have to do with you? "Li Mu doesn't meander. Everyone's time is precious, and everything is better on the bright side.

"What you are saying is true, but we ca n’t ignore it because the future is too far away. You Chinese have a saying that is far-sighted and there must be near worries, so I cannot make too many concessions on this issue." Hai Steve's attitude was resolute, totally unexpected from Li Mu.

"Now that you understand the meaning of this sentence, then you should understand that if you insist on getting a 30% stake, you will lose not only the future, but also the present." Li Mu told Hayes bluntly, even if you As president, it is impossible to do whatever you want.

Do n’t underestimate 10% of the shares, which are worth more than hundreds of millions of dollars. The construction of the Panama Canal mainly depends on fundraising from society, so there are not many shares that can be used as chips. The US government requires 10% more. The tycoons will make 10% less. Even if Li Mu agrees, Rockefeller will not agree.

"Why not agree? We are all for the United States. For a common ideal, money is important, but we can't buy everything. For a strong United States, each of us must contribute." Hayes probably didn't know There is a word in the 21st century called Our Lady.

"If you make a voluntary contribution, that's fine, but if you make it mandatory, the contribution will be meaningless. If you insist on taking 10% more, it may cause unpredictable effects, so we all have There should be a sense of proportion, only taking what they deserve, and earning only within their own ability. "When Li Mu said these words, his mood was still a bit heavy.

Although there are differences in ideas between each other, Li Mu and Hayes had a close cooperation during the presidential campaign.

In fact, Li Mu is very clear that with the changes in the status of the two sides, this intimate cooperation cannot continue forever. Although Li Mu hopes to maintain this relationship, Li Mu also knows that the ideal state is only an ideal state in the end and it can never be truly realized .

Hearing Li Mu ’s words that were close to threats, Hayes ’s expression was very ugly. For a full minute, Hayes did not speak or move. He just stared at Li Mu silently. The disappointment in his eyes showed both disappointment and Sad.

"Sorry, I have to stand on the side of the Panama Canal Company." Li Mu was also a little sad, probably this is the last time Li Mu opened his heart to Hays, and this is the only time.

"Well, I can understand that in fact 20% is not unacceptable. Since you insist, then 20% is better." Hayes finally compromised, but not to Li Mu, but more to Li Mu The huge class it represents.

If you stand on the side of the Panama Canal Company, then Li Mu represents all the bourgeoisie in the United States. After all, the Panama Canal Company has almost all the rich people in the United States. If it opposes the Panama Canal Company, it is equivalent to the United States. All the rich people can't bear this result. No one can do the former President Ulysses S. Grant, neither the current President Hayes, nor the future presidents.

Leaving the President's Palace, the convoy crossed Washington Square and reached the Lake Avenue on the side of the Lake of Sakura. Li Mu felt a little uncomfortable, so he let Mason stop the car and prepare to take a walk and go back.

"Walk, okay, I just need to take a walk." Mason got off with Li Mu, whispered a few words, turned back and gestured to the team, followed Li Mu not far away.

Immediately, more than a dozen gunmen got out of the car, spreading out unhurriedly, and surrounding Li Mu, the team did not stay away, and stopped just in place, ready to respond to accidents.

It ’s been a long time in this era, and Li Mu ’s “mindfulness” is also getting more and more. Now that he ’s slowly getting used to physically destroying his enemies, of course, he must also guard against the enemy ’s counterattack, so Li Mu did not let Mason They leave if they do not affect Li Mu's walk.

Only those who are eligible to follow Li Mu are Chu Xue.

Although when Li Mu and Hayes talked, Chu Xue was not with Li Mu and he didn't know what Li Mu and Hayes had talked about. But from the look of Li Mu when he walked out of Hayes' office, Chu Xue could probably see that Li Mu Mood is not so good.

So it ’s hard to come by. There is a lot of words in Chu Xue, but it ’s just a family chore: “... Pan has four more children and more and more dogs at home. Will made a car the day before yesterday and used a dozen dogs. Pulling and running, II had a great time ... Wu Yan's temper became bigger and bigger, except for my dad, he was not allowed to be touched by anyone. He also hurt the groom last week. If there is time, he still has to beat him. The long stay in the shed is not good for his health ... The body of the Statue of Liberty has finally arrived. When we return to New York, it may have been assembled. The mayor's secretary specifically called and said that the observation deck was Things, standing on the observation deck, can not directly see the inside of Governor's Island ... "

"Don't worry about me, I'm fine ..." Li Mu's mood finally relaxed and he patted Chu Xue's hand on Li Mu's arm. Li Mu's mood is now full of warmth.

Chu Xue then calmed down, smiled at Li Mu, and snuggled gently on Li Mu's shoulder, walking forward side by side with Li Mu.

In the early spring, the cherry blossom lake is very beautiful. In April, it is the season when the cherry blossoms are blooming, and the flowers are overflowing. .

As the only road in Washington where street lights are installed, like the Battery Park in New York, Lake Sakura Lake at night has become a scenic area in Washington. Even people who live in the distance will work hard to relax by Lake Sakura Lake. .

Seeing that there were more and more pedestrians, Mason and they finally became nervous. Only then did Li Mu find that he was surrounded by more than 30 big men. Those big men were full of vigilance when they looked at people, with one hand in their pocket forever, all over their bodies. It sends out a message that people are not near.

In this case, taking a walk is just suffering. Li Mu simply called over to the car and went straight home.

Coincidentally, in front of his house, Li Mu met Benjamin Harrison and his wife who had just returned from a walk.

Near his home, Li Mu can still get a quiet place. Li Mu's home is located on a peninsula on the shore of the Lake of Sakura. Only Li Mu and Benjamin Harrison lived on the entire peninsula. When they saw a checkpoint at the entrance, "Private territory, please do not enter," the eye-catching vision, but don't worry about others coming in.

"Ha, you are back. I said the day before yesterday that you must return to Washington in the past two days." Benjamin Harrison greeted him in a somewhat annoying way, full of leisurely sentiments overlooking the fire from the other side.

Benjamin Harrison's wife was called Carolyn Scott, and it was similar to the npc name in a game.

Like Benjamin Harrison, Carolyn Scott is also famous. When he met Li Mu, Carolyn Scott nodded slightly to Li Mu, and did not greet him, showing good manners. .

"Don't be proud, you won't have less trouble than me in the future." Li Mu and Benjamin Harrison were not polite.

The relationship between Li Mu and Benjamin Harrison is much closer than that with Hayes. If the person sitting in the presidency is Benjamin Harrison, then Li Mu does not need to come to Washington at all. Get it.

Of course, if Benjamin Harrison took the presidency, Benjamin Harrison would not have made such an excessive request.

"In the future, let's talk about the Panama Canal Company. If I want to participate in the shares now, will it be too late?" Benjamin Harrison asked Li Mu directly, and he did not shy away at all.

"It must be too late for others, and they are not too late for you." Li Mu could not help pulling more people into the tank of the Panama Canal Company. Anyway, it is better to share it with anyone who is cheaper. Yourself.

Now the Panama Canal Company is a piece of fat. Everyone wants to come up and take a bite. This is understandable.

"Then I will come to see you tomorrow. I haven't moved any dividends for the past two years. You can count on how much it is worth." Benjamin Harrison was also welcome. In Cuba, Benjamin Harrison has tasted cooperation with Li Mu. For the sweetness of this, we just need to continue this model.

"Don't look for me, my personal accountant is here." Li Mucai would not help Benjamin Harrison settle the accounts.

Chu Xue was right next to Li Mu, standing a little behind. After hearing Li Mu's words, Chu Xue nodded and smiled slightly to Benjamin Harrison, which is to acknowledge her identity.

In Cuba, Benjamin Harrison didn't deal with Chu Xue very much when he ate at Li Mu's house, so Benjamin Harrison and Chu Xue are no strangers, but Benjamin Harrison still heard something different from Li Mu's words. So after Li Mu finished speaking, Benjamin Harrison and Li Mu exchanged an unspoken smile between a man, and it was all settled.
