The reason why Chinese people don't like to vote is because of the traditional idea of moderation, and if you support this, you will offend the other, so the best way is not to express your position, so that no one will be offended.
As everyone knows, the Americans don't see it that way, you don't support either, so which one do you want to support The result of not wanting to offend anyone is to offend everyone.
With Li Mu, this problem is very easy to solve, Henry is Li Mu's person, and he is the manager of Junma Investment Company, whether it is an employee of Junma Weapons Company, or an employee of Junma Construction Company, or an employee of Junma Laboratory, all of them are Henry's subordinates, so this problem does not need to be considered.
With more than ninety percent of the people voting, the treatment is obviously very different, during the Springfield City Council election, almost all the candidates will personally go to the horse arms company to canvass for votes, they really do go deep into the masses to ask for warmth, listen to the voices of the masses, promise to help the Chinese solve problems, although these promises if not elected are all farts, but always make a gesture, there is no easy change.
In mid-October, Li Mu returned to New York after a half-year absence.
When I left, it was just spring, and when I returned to New York, it was already snowing, and the traffic conditions were really speechless.
When you come to New York, of course, you have to go to Battery Park in Manhattan, which is the place that Li Mu is most concerned about, not only related to the headquarters of the beach club, but also related to the future of Junma Investment Group.
Well, with so many enterprises, it is indeed worthy of the title of "group".
Compared to the last time Li Mu left New York, due to the continuous land reclamation, the area of Battery Park has been further expanded, more than double the area of the previous one, the greening work on the side of Manhattan has begun, and the foundations of the three buildings have been dug up, apparently temporarily suspended due to weather conditions.
According to Li Mu's idea, Castle Clinton, which was originally used as the New York Immigration Bureau, was to be converted into his own home, so this part was completed at the earliest, and after the establishment of the beach club, Li Mu wanted to use Castle Clinton as the headquarters of the beach club, so when Li Mu arrived, the renovation work had entered the final part.
"According to your request, the master bedroom and guest rooms on the second floor will be converted into various activity rooms, this part has been completed, we have prepared a small banquet hall and billiard room, as well as a conference room, the shooting range is in the basement, the third floor is a guest room for guests to rest, and the top attic has been converted into an open balcony, maybe you can go up and sit on it, the goggles on it are very good, and you can see Central Park in the distance."
Stanley Nelson, the designer in charge of the construction work, followed Li Mu and introduced that Stanley looked a little old, as if he was frowning and worried at any time, and looked a bit like the future NBA head coach Van Gundy.
"Let's go, go up and have a look."
Li Mu is as good as a stream.
As Stanley said, the scenery in the attic is indeed very good, the edge of the originally empty balcony is equipped with glass, although the snow is falling outside, but the interior is warm like spring, the ground is covered with a thick Turkish handmade carpet, stepping on it has a sense of crime, there are several oil paintings on the wall that Li Mu can't name, and a crystal chandelier is hanging in the middle of the roof, although the visibility is very good, but Li Mu still asked Stanley to try it.
Stanley casually ordered a staff member beside him, and the staff member hurried away, and after a while, he heard the roar of the generator, and then the crystal chandelier suddenly lit up, and the ambilight attracted attention, it was actually an electric light.
"In August, Runkel sent this equipment, and now there are 21 electric lights in the whole house, and two generators are needed to drive them to provide light at the same time."
Stanley flipped through the folder in his hand and introduced it a little absent-mindedly.
"What's going on" Li Mu keenly discovered Stanley's abnormality.
The use of electric light is definitely an epoch-making invention, so Stanley's reaction should not be so bland, and he was pleasantly surprised by Li Mu's "well-informed", not to mention Stanley, who had never experienced the electric age.
"We have a problem right now, I should say two, one of them is the foundation of Battery Park, you should have seen that we have excavated the foundation, and the reason why we didn't start construction is because the MIT assessment team believes that the geology here is not suitable for building skyscrapers, that is, we can build a building with a maximum of fifteen floors, not the planned thirty floors, so we are currently figuring out how to solve this problem, otherwise you would never see what you see now" Stanley doesn't hide it, and he tells it all out.
"Why don't I know about this situation" Li Mu scolded in a deep voice, after half a year of training, the momentum of the superior suddenly flourished, and the originally warm and spring-like room was suddenly as cold as an ice cave.
Stanley shuddered and hugged the folder silently: "I sent you a telegram."
"Okay, you sent a telegram, so what is the other question" Li Mu held back his vigorous anger and asked for the second trouble.
"It's Mr.
Henderson, you went to Cuba after signing the contract, it is estimated that some issues have not been dealt with, Mr.
Henderson came over some time ago and said that our procedures are not complete, if we want to build a skyscraper in Battery Park, we must have the approval of the mayor's office, not the contract with the city government, so" Stanley did not finish, but Li Mu already understood what Stanley meant.
At this time, the New York City government was still under the control of the Tweed Group, Li Mu originally thought that with Arthur's care, the Tweed Group should not be a cause for concern, but now it seems that this is obviously not the case, the future Chester Allen Arthur is very powerful, and will be the twenty-first president of the United States, but in New York in 1873, Arthur, the chief of customs, did not have enough deterrence.
"Arrange for me to meet with Mr.
Tweed tomorrow, and I think we should have enough in common."
Li Mu is not afraid of challenges, and in the face of Tweed Group, Li Mu wants to rise to the challenge.
Regarding the Tweed Group, in New York in the 19th century, this is a "bug"-like existence, the Tweed Group made its fortune with municipal engineering, and Battery Park is just part of the New York Municipal Government, so Li Mu did not feel much surprised by the current situation.
Henderson is Tweed's brother-in-law, who serves as the director of the New York Municipal Bureau of Works, and this battery park of Li Mu happens to be under Henderson's jurisdiction.
"Okay, I'll try to arrange it for you."
Stanley still had a sad face, and he didn't feel relieved by Li Mu's return.
Leaving Battery Park, Li Mu went to visit Chester Alan Arthur.
"I've heard a little bit about Battery Park, and to be honest, I don't think Henderson has what it takes to stop Battery Park."
Arthur didn't take the Tweed Group seriously enough.
"Maybe he doesn't have the ability, but what he's doing now has affected my plans."
Li Mu's face was gloomy, the king of Hades was so good that the little ghosts were difficult, and some people just didn't succeed enough and had more than enough to lose.
"Don't worry, Reem, maybe we can think a little simpler."
Arthur, as the chief of customs in New York, is also the head snake in New York, so Arthur knows the situation in New York far better than Li Mu.
"What do you mean" Li Mu was confused.
"I mean, Henderson may not represent Tweed, or you don't know, during your time in Cuba, I received an order from Washington, and President Grant asked me to cooperate with you unconditionally, so I believe there is definitely more than one such order."
Arthur is still relatively rational, and combined with the news he has gotten, Arthur does not advise Li Mu to act rashly.

The rebellion of the United States of Cuba against the Spanish colonizers seems to be a unilateral action of the Cubans, but in fact the forces behind it are complicated, Li Mu is just a supporter of the United States of Cuba on the surface, and no one knows how many of them have not surfaced.
"There is another problem, the geology of Battery Park is beyond our expectations, and the answer given by my engineer is that the area where Battery Park is located cannot build buildings with more than 30 floors, how to solve this problem" Li Mu came to Arthur, and there were more troubles.
"We don't want to see this problem, and it's not something that anyone can decide, so Ream, I'm sorry about this too" Arthur couldn't solve this problem.
"Okay, I know I don't blame you for this question, but what about my investment For this thing, I've invested millions of dollars, Chester, and my investment can't be wasted."
Li Mu felt like he was going crazy, not only because of the investment, but also because his plan had to be completely revised.
Limited to the technical problems at this time, thirty floors is already the limit of a skyscraper, but this accident caused Li Mu's building to shrink by half, so the original occupancy plan must be modified, and the geological problems are relatively special, and it cannot be expanded in the future, which limits the future space.
It's no wonder that the future of Manhattan, despite its lack of land, has never had the idea of Battery Park.
Although Arthur felt that his head was big, he still had to help Li Mu find a way.
If you don't want to do it, Li Mu originally gave Arthur $500,000 in activity funds, Arthur swallowed at least half of it, and he was short of manpower.
"Central Park Reem, maybe you can try Central Park."
Arthur finally figured it out.
"How does Central Park work" Li Mu was not very satisfied, but he could only accept it.
Compared to Battery Park, the location of Central Park is a little worse, but the advantage is that the area is large enough and there is enough space, which is the most important thing.
It would be nice to take this opportunity to take over Central Park, although it may cost a little more, but who made this Manhattan?
