Ask for collections, tickets, tickets, attention, comments, and all kinds of requests As for the level of corruption in the U.S. government at this time, we can refer to India in the 21st century.
Even the appearance of US government officials at this time is even more ugly than that of Indian government officials in the 21st century.
In 1905, a Frenchman drew a "corruption map" of the United States, distinguishing the political situation of the 45 states in the United States, and the result was that only 6 states were politically clear, 13 states were partially corrupt, and 25 states were completely corrupt.
Other scholars have examined corruption in the United States from 1815 to 1975 and depicted a "corruption index" curve, showing that there were three periods of high corruption in American history, namely around 1840, 18571861, and 18681876, with the highest corruption index in the last period.
In 1873, the famous writer Mark Twain published his first novel, The Gilded Age, satirizing this era, Mark Twain wrote: "Behind the flamboyant and coppery stench, behind the bubble of extravagance, there is only a pile of cold gold, and even the air is full of conspiracy."
Lincoln Stephens, a well-known journalist, wrote about the social atmosphere at the time, "The people are not pure and blameless," and "corruption and lawlessness are the American atmosphere."
When he left Bernapp's office, Li Mu was a little proud.
Li Mu's $10,000 was not spent in vain, and Berknapp placed an order with Li Mu's Horse Weapons Company, and within three months, the Horse Arms Company would provide the US Department of War with 10,000 "Anaconda" pistols, and the unit price of the pistols was $35.
Thirty-five dollars a piece, this price is beyond Li Mu's expectations, according to Li Mu's calculations, the cost of a "python" cavalry revolver does not exceed fifteen dollars, and Li Mu is already satisfied if it can be sold for twenty dollars, and now even if the rebate to Bernap is removed, the profit of a pistol will reach 100 percent, which is indeed a huge profit.
Of course, compared with Li Mu, Bernap made this money more easily and happily, Bernap just signed the purchase form, and made 60,000 US dollars before and after, even if it was to share the profits with others, at least half of it should belong to Bernap.
After heading out, Will was still in disbelief: "So, we made $200,000 today."
Will is also one of the shareholders of Junma Arms Company, and is the second largest shareholder after Li Mu, if calculated at this rate today, at least 30% of the money earned today belongs to Will.
God's mercy, the sum of the money that Will has seen so old is estimated to be less than 60,000 dollars.
"Not so much, some necessary costs always have to be cut off, counted, we should have earned 140,000" Li Mu was in a very good mood, this is a good start, with this order, the horse weapons company is even a firm foothold.
"My God, that is, the investment I gave you has already recouped the full cost" Will calculated for a long time before he figured out what thirty percent of the 140,000 was.
"I've made some money, so do you want to withdraw the principal now," Li Mu looked at Will with malice.
Will, the unresponsive guy, actually thought about it, and then asked tentatively: "If I withdraw the principal, will it affect my future dividends?"
"Hehe" Li Mupi didn't smile, and smiled very gloomily: "It should be" Will immediately shut up, let Li Mu provoke him, and didn't respond a word, for fear that Li Mu would take advantage of the topic.
After all, Li Mu is different from Abel and Burnside, Li Mu can't do the work of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and he doesn't really want to sweep Will out of the house, it's just a joke.
When he arrived at Burnside's office, Li Mu no longer needed to make an appointment, Burnside's secretary was waiting for Li Mu at the door, and when he saw Li Mu coming, Burnside's secretary hurriedly ran over and led Li Mu to Burnside's office attentively and thoughtfully.
Burnside was also enthusiastic after seeing Li Mu, gave Li Mu a big hug, hugged Li Mu's whole person, and his toes were off the ground, and then he happily said to Li Mu: "Guess what, sales have not fallen at all, but are rising, four hours this morning, 30,000 US dollars of lottery tickets have been sold, and it is estimated that they will double by night, do you know, someone took a train from New York overnight, and it was a thousand dollars, it was unbelievable" To be honest, Li Mu didn't expect that the enthusiasm of Americans for the lottery would be so high this year, especially the one who paid 1,000 dollars to buy a lottery ticket, the total value of the first prize was only 1,500 dollars, and it was worth spending 1,000 dollars to win it Maybe it's worth it, maybe it's not, who knows Li Mu was not a rich man in his last life, although he had a little more money in this life, but there is still a long way to go from Li Mu's ideals, Li Mu does not understand the thinking of rich people, perhaps for some rich people who have no desires, they only have money left in their lives, and it is their job to spend money as much as possible, and they spend money just to have fun, as for whether it is worth it is not in the scope of people's consideration.
"Abel and I estimate that there will be a climax in lottery ticket sales in the days before Christmas, and now it seems that our estimate is wrong, and the 500,000-dollar face value of the lottery ticket is not estimated to be purchased and sold, and I have asked Kenny to continue to order, and then order another 500,000 dollars, if it is still not enough, then continue to order" After letting go of Li Mu, Burnside continued to chatter.
Faced with this situation, Burnside is also a little crazy, this is not printing lottery tickets at all, this is printing money, and it is the kind without a deposit.
"You called me,Shouldn't it be just to tell me this" Li Mu was a little depressed,Whether the lottery ticket sales are hot or not,It has nothing to do with Li Mu。
"Of course not, Ream, I'm going to introduce you to a friend, and before I do that, I want to ask you if you know the person Carlos Manuel de Cespedes" Burnside finally got back to the point, sitting behind his desk with a serious face.
"Carlos Manuel de Cespedes doesn't know."
Li Mu thought about it carefully and confirmed that he didn't know this person.
"Then from now on, you must know that this is your big customer, you can't slack off" Burnside smiled, looking very proud to help Li Mu find a good business.
"The big customer is very good, so where is Mr.
Cespedes" Speaking of customers, Li Mu immediately became interested, Li Mucai didn't care who this Cespedes was, even if Cespedes was the messenger of the devil, Li Mu would treat him like a guest.
"Mr.
Cespedes is in Cuba," Burnside finally couldn't hold it anymore, clutching his head and laughing wildly.
The special person is still in Cuba, you tell me about the ghost Li Mu suddenly hated
