Today's toss, I'm afraid everyone knows that the lottery is a golden doll.
The United States is a federal country, and the various states in the country have considerable autonomy, and many states have their own laws, their own government agencies, and their own National Guard, and to be honest, the central government's deterrent power is not too great.
Especially in this special period just after the end of the Civil War, the Southern states and the federal government looked like they were in a different position, and it was not easy for the central government's decrees to be implemented in the Southern states, and the National Rifle Association had even less influence in the southern states.
Since the lottery is a golden doll and doesn't have much technical content, it's easy to get emulated, and by the time states across the U.S. start selling their own instant lottery tickets, it's hard to say how much profit this thing will make.
Therefore, the lottery is just a tool for Li Mu to make quick money, and the foundation of Li Mu's wealth is still in the horse weapons company, in the smokeless gunpowder, and in the future light bulb.
On the way to St.
George's restaurant, Li Mu figured out these things, so how many shares he occupies now is really not a matter, Li Mu only wants to go online with Abel and Berneseda, not to make much profit with this.
Li Mu is reluctant to occupy more shares of the company, which is obviously to send money to Abel and Burnside, so after listening to Li Mu's words, Abel and Burnside looked at Li Mu again, and there was more satisfaction and affection in their eyes.
Li Mu this is a sense of proportion, although the lottery is Li Mu's suggestion, and Li Mu single-handedly, but when Able and Burnside understand how the lottery works, for Abel and Burnside, Li Mu is no longer indispensable, if Li Mu does not know how to advance and retreat, not to mention the company's shares, whether it can be withdrawn from the whole body.
Li Mu has already seen how dark American officials are in this era, taking Abel deputy Green as an example, against a white Western man who is unwilling to give sponsorship, Green can be ruthless enough to order Tony to burn down other people's property, and he will not be merciful when dealing with Li Mu.
"Ream, I heard that your arsenal produces a double-handed pistol, right" Able obviously didn't want to owe Li Mu a favor, and wanted to compensate Li Mu in other ways.
"Yes, the latest python pistol, ahead of all the weapons of this era, buy one and put it at home for a lifetime."
When it comes to his professional field, Li Mu is also dancing with his eyebrows, and his face is full of confidence.
"The War Department seems to have a plan for a change of clothes, you can visit William in the next few days, maybe he can give you some advice."
Abel winked at Li Mu with a sincere expression.
"Thank you, actually, I just want to visit Mr.
William," Li Mu hit the snake with the stick.
The War Department is the U.S.
War Department, which was created in 1789 and was not renamed the War Department until 1947.
William's full name is William W.
Berknapp, who is currently the Minister of War.
"Ah, Ream, come to my office tomorrow, I have something to discuss with you," Burnside said to Li Mu as if he had just remembered something.
"Okay, then we'll see you tomorrow Since it's Christmas Eve, then I won't delay the reunion of the two of you with your family, let's see you tomorrow" Li Mu was not verbose, and left after finishing his business, without mentioning his share of thirty percent.
Just kidding, Able and Burnside are obviously giving Li Mu money, and it would be too unethical for Li Mu to be entangled in the thirty percent dividend.
Li Mu is now officially an arms dealer, and if an arms dealer wants to make money, he must first have a good relationship with the military, as long as he can get in touch with the military, join the ranks of the military's suppliers, and become one of the military's partners, Li Mu would rather not make a penny in the early stage.
There were no people on the streets on Christmas Eve, and the lights had not yet been put into use, so the streets could really be described as deserted.
It's already winter, there is a lot of snow on the road, the carriage is driving on the road, you can clearly hear the sound of the wheels running over the snow, because of the snow on the ground, the visibility is not bad, the houses on the side of the road shoot warm lights, occasionally someone walks in a hurry, can't wait to throw into the warm embrace of the family.
Li Mu and Will are far away, and they are thousands of miles away from home, and they will definitely not be able to reunite with their families on this Christmas Eve.
This is not a serious problem, in Washington, there are many people like Li Mu and Will, Washington is holding a shooting competition during this time, there are many gunmen from all over the country, Li Mu in order to build momentum for the sale of lottery tickets, from Boston, New York invited several performance groups, they are impossible to go home.
Although Christmas Eve and Christmas are traditional holidays, there are always some people who have to run around, giving up reuniting with their families on these days that should be reunited, and working hard to make their families live better.
Li Mu knows that there is a poem called "Thinking of relatives every festive season", although Christmas Eve is not a traditional Chinese holiday, but by pushing others, Li Mu can still understand Will's homesickness.
This kind of time is the time to win over the relationship,Lottery ticket sales just ended in the afternoon,Li Mu asked Will to go to the market to buy things,Ready to have a "stranger party" at the Grand Cross Hotel,When Li Mu returned to the Grand Cross Hotel,The party has just reached its climax.
To be honest, the standard of this party is still relatively high, after all, there are performance groups from New York and Boston to help the fun, even in Washington, D.C. is rare.
The party was held in the banquet hall of the Grand Cross Hotel, and yesterday the zoo's "escaped from prison" lion was performing on stage, and Sandy actually rode on the back of the lion, hugged the lion's neck in fear, and watched the lion jump on the stool like a leisurely stroll.
On the small stage next to her, Gloria was singing Katyusha, which was different from what Li Mu remembered, Gloria sang Katyusha very cheerfully, Will and a group of big men from the shooting team were dancing around Gloria with their arms, and there were many people coaxing next to her, and the atmosphere was very warm.
To Li Mu's surprise, several blonde beauties who sold lottery tickets were also present, and they gave up the opportunity to reunite with their families and participate in this big party.
Seeing Li Mu coming back, Chu Xue, dressed as a knight, ran over in a hurry, and the first thing he said when he saw Li Mu was "I didn't drink".
I haven't drunk it yet, and my face is red and I don't know it Li Mu was immediately furious: "Who let Chu Xue drink wine and stand up for me" There are a lot of people who stand up, a bunny girl who looks a little familiar but can't remember the name stuffed Li Mu with a glass of wine, Li Mu didn't have time to drink, he was pulled by Will to join the team of group dances, Sandy slid down from the lion's back with teeth and claws, jumped on Li Mu's back and hugged him without letting go, Li Mu didn't care about holding him responsible, holding Chu Xue on the left, Gloria on the right, and singing a happy version of Katyusha with everyone "Just as the pear blossoms are blooming all over the world" Let's have fun in time:
