Business negotiations were often protracted, and Carnegie had to consult with other partners, so this time the meeting was just an intention, and then Carnegie left Springfield and returned to Pittsburgh.
Seeing Carnegie's carriage disappear into the night, Will asked the question that puzzled Carnegie too: "How do you know that Andrew can make $5,000 a year with $200?"
Will is a policeman, let him be a good hand at dealing with criminals, and let him invest in finance, but it is obvious that although Will does not understand finance, he still yearns for finance.
This is nonsense, only $200 can earn $5000 a year, such an opportunity everyone wants.
Li Mu definitely wouldn't say that it was Du Niang who told him, it was very simple to fool Will, and there were many ways: "This guy is already a legend in the railroad department at the moment, I met an employee of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company on the way to Springfield, and we talked a lot along the way, you know, a whole week, a long road with nothing to do, so about Andrew, I know a lot more about him than he imagined." ” In 1853, at the age of 17, Carnegie met his first nobleman, Tom Scott.
At the time, Scott was the Pennsylvania Railroad's western director, and Scott appointed Carnegie as the telegraph station operator and also served as Scott's secretary.
At that time, the American railroad was in a period of rapid development, and Carnegie showed amazing talent in the operation of the railroad company, Scott was promoted to vice president of the railroad, and Carnegie became Scott's successor, and was promoted by Scott to the head of the railroad West.
In this way, Carnegie went from being penniless and gorgeous to being a celebrity in front of the vice president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and also became a legend in the railroad industry.
The first noble man in Carnegie's life, Scott also laid the groundwork for Carnegie's future notoriety, and when the economic crisis broke out a few years later, Scott turned to Carnegie for help, but Carnegie did not repay Scott's kindness.
In the aftermath, Carnegie's inaction towards Scott made many people resentful, believing that Carnegie had betrayed his friend, which was a blasphemy against human morality.
Carnegie explained that "it was more painful for me than all the financial decisions I've had up to that point." ” No matter how much Carnegie suffered, Carnegie chose to give up on handing someone a life-saving straw in the crisis.
Even if that person had been Carnegie's benefactor.
"This is an amazing guy, as magical as you."
Will has a good impression of Carnegie now, and people always do it, even if it doesn't do Will good, Will will still praise him from the bottom of his heart.
Successful people deserve praise, that's the norm for many.
"Am I amazing to hear someone claim that I can't ride a horse as fast as him, and I'd love to see how long this man's legs are, if they're as big as his mouth."
Li Mu did not accept Will's praise and was still angry at Will's slander.
"Hahahaha boy, if you think I'm wrong, then you should practice hard, your body is taller than Sandy, and Wuqi is better than Aubrey, if you are compared to a little girl younger than your age, then you really lose our man."
Will patted Li Mu on the shoulder and laughed.
Hearing Will's words, although Gloria covered her mouth, her crooked eyes betrayed her, and Sandy triumphantly shouted, "Aubrey is no worse than Wuhu", because Li Mu can't outrun Sandy; Yan Hu looked at the sky casually, Yan Shun squatted in the corner of the wall to draw circles, fortunately, Bresta and Chad returned to Springfield with Carnegie, and this person did not lose too far.
Well, Yan Hu and Yan Shun's performance can actually be understood as not understanding.
"Just wait, you won't be complacent for long."
Li Mu could only throw down a cruel sentence to hide his face and leave, in this matter, Li Mu was really unconfident.
At night, Li Mu had already gone to bed, and the first snow was still complaining about Li Mu.
"Brother Mu, don't care, you will be a big official in the future, you will be a big official and you will be a sedan chair, you don't need to ride a horse at all, only those rough people can ride a horse, so Brother Mu, don't be sad" Chu Xue said while helping Li Mu pack his clothes.
Every night, Chu Xue has to wait for Li Mu to sleep before leaving, before leaving, Chu Xue will put a cup of boiling water on Li Mu's bedside, take away the clothes that Li Mu changed that day, and prepare the clothes that Li Mu will wear tomorrow morning.
What's amazing is that no matter when Li Mu gets up, the water at the head of the bed is always warm, and he doesn't know how many times the first snow will come up every night.
"I let that little girl, I don't want her to cry."
Li Mu gave himself a reason, no matter what his strength was, he would definitely not admit defeat on his lips, and he would not lose if he lost.
Chu Xue also knew that Li Mu was strong and competent, but Chu Xue would definitely not expose Li Mu, so Chu Xue held back a smile and said to Li Mu: "I know, I know, I know that Brother Mu is a kind person, and you can't see others suffering."
"That's, I want you to be Brother Mu and I" Li Muzheng wanted to be ashamed, and suddenly blessed his heart: "You, you, Chu Xue, can you understand what Will said" It's been less than a month since I got off the boat, and if Hatsuyuki could understand English by now, it would be too fast.
"I used to follow it in the palace, I learned a little, there are foreign professors in the palace" Chu Xue nodded and admitted, blushing and holding her clothes at a loss, looking cute.
In order to let the little fat man adapt to life in the United States as soon as possible, it is understandable to hire an English teacher for the little fat man.
Of course, out of the consideration of the gentlemen's consistent morality, it is estimated that the little fat man did not learn very well, but Chu Xue, the personal maid, learned better.
Speaking of the little fat man, Li Mu was also full of questions: "How could that guy go abroad, and it is said that he is a county prince, so he will not charge into battle." ” "I don't know about this, but I heard a little vaguely, probably because I have no children so far, and my health is not good, I heard that he is now terminally ill, and he relies on the power of gold and stone to continue his life, so the prince doesn't dare to let that guy stay in the capital."
Chu Xue was still a little hesitant when she talked about the little fat man, but Chu Xue had obviously decided to break with the past, just a little hesitant, and still gritted her teeth and said the words "that guy".
With these few words, if it is in the Qing Empire, it is a sin of raiding the family and destroying the door.
"Hmph, it's a special royal secret" Li Mu sneered, this is not uncommon, maybe in a hundred years, some literati will toss out TV series such as Fat Man Weifu Private Interview, Fat Man Journey to the West.
That's a good story, well, a good story
