There is no doubt that Li Mu has high hopes for these children.
In school, Li Mu can take care of everything for the children, but when the children will eventually graduate, even if these children have not yet met Li Mu's requirements, Li Mu can only let go.
There were a total of 423 graduates in the first class of Junma Affiliated School, including 260 students from Junma Town and 163 students from Kuobin Reservoir Primary School.
More than 400 graduates lined up in a neat square on the playground of Junma Town Elementary School, where students in Junma Town wore Boy Scout uniforms and Kuobin Reservoir Elementary School students wore cowboy suits, and after attending the graduation ceremony, they could go home and rest for three days before gathering again for Scout training.
It is not only these graduates who attended the graduation ceremony, but their parents were also invited to attend the graduation ceremony, which is also a rare honor for the parents, after all, this is the first batch of graduates of the Junma Affiliated School, and the first batch of Chinese Americans to receive systematic education, they carry the hope of all Chinese, which will become their lifelong unforgettable memory.
The ceremony was also attended by junior students, who also lined up on the playground to get a feel for the atmosphere of the graduation ceremony.
Li Mu's speech is very popular, almost every sentence, will win the warm applause of students and parents, the current Chinese have not experienced the torture of "help or not", they know gratitude, know that the current life is not easy to come by, know who brought them everything they have now.
After a short speech, all the graduates lined up in a neat line, and the students took a group photo with Li Mu, and these precious video materials will be kept forever in the headquarters of Junma Education Group.
After the group photo, the graduation ceremony was over, and Li Mu invited the guests to lunch.
When he was about to go to the restaurant, Zhang Leye leaned over and whispered: "Phoebe Hornby and Andy Picole are here, they want to see you." ” "Tell them I don't have time."
Li Mu didn't give these two people a chance, Li Mu once gave it, but they didn't grasp it, no wonder Li Mu.
"Reem, meet them and give them a chance to settle this matter peacefully."
Thomas Stolbert, who had been paying attention to Li Mu, came over to intercede in person.
"Well, tell them that if they want to transfer their shares, I can buy them at the previous purchase price, and as for the meeting, I really don't have time right now, and if they want to see me, let them go to my office tomorrow."
Li Mu didn't say anything to death, after all, it was the governor who spoke, and he always had to save face.
Thomas Stolbert did not force it, Li Mu also has Li Mu's pride, as the chairman of the Junma Group, Li Mu has reached the top of the pyramid in the business field, except for a few people, others are really not qualified to sit on an equal footing with Li Mu, if there is no Chuntian This matter, Li Mu will not have any intersection with Phoebe Hornby and Andy Picole.
Not on one level.
Although Thomas Stolbert is the governor, in fact, Thomas Stolbert knows very well that stripped him of the aura of being a governor, Thomas Stolbert is not qualified to sit with Li Mu, so Thomas Stolbert is very measured, just hand over the words, as for what Li Mu does, it is Li Mu's freedom, and Thomas Stolbert can't interfere.
The guests and hosts of this meal enjoyed themselves, and when they saw off Thomas Stolbert, Li Mu did not forget to give a small gift of a craft pistol produced by the Horse Weapons Company.
That night, Li Mu and Rockefeller returned to New York.
"You really don't see the governor's face and don't give it," Rockefeller quipped, sitting on the train.
"I said, let them go to my office, of course, in New York."
Of course Li Mu doesn't want to see it, there is no need for Li Mu to compromise now, the two small shareholders of Chuntian are not worthy of Li Mu's attention.
At the level of Li Mu and Rockefeller, strictly speaking, they have broken away from the shackles of the world, and things like rules are no longer binding enough on this kind of predator, because they themselves are the rule-makers.
"So what are you going to do next, buy Winchester" Rockefeller was interested in Li Mu's plan.
Li Mu has bought 10% of Winchester's shares through J Morgan, which is not enough for Li Mu to control Winchester, but this is a good start for Li Mu to buy Winchester.
Winchester's business is a little better than Springfield, at least now there is no crisis, the westward movement has brought opportunities to Winchester, from more than ten years ago to the present, just early last year, Winchester Company launched the Winchester 1873 rifle, this model of rifle quickly by hunters, western enforcers, cowboys, before the launch of the Horse Arms Company, the most popular rifle on the Winchester 1873 market, together with the Colt revolver, almost became a symbol of the Western era.
Of course, the most popular pistol on the market is the "Python" series of the Horse Weapons Company, from the beginning of its birth, the "Python" series has been sought after by the market, from January this year to the present, in just half a year, the Horse Weapons Company has provided the market with 150,000 "Python" pistols, which has made millions of dollars of profits for the Horse Weapons Company and has become the trump card product of the Horse Weapons Company.
Before the shotgun was listed, all guns on the market were lever principle, and the loading step was more complex than the shotgun using the pump-action principle, the shotgun of the horse weapon company can fire shotguns, and can also fire single-headed bullets, and there is no need to aim accurately when firing shotguns, only about aiming to hit the target, and at the same time, the power is huge, after hitting the target, even if the target is not beaten into a sieve, it will be beaten into briquettes; When using a single-headed bullet, the killing distance of a shotgun can be increased to about 200 meters, which is not as long as the killing distance of a standard rifle, but it is enough for a shotgun.
With the "Anaconda" series of revolvers and "Springfield" shotguns, the Horse Arms Company has leveraged the big cake of the American arms market, forming a strong impact on Colt, who is good at pistols, and Winchester, who is good at rifles, and as for the Springfield, which is geographically closest to the Horse Weapons Company, it has become the first victim of the rise of the Horse Arms Company.
"Why not, your Standard Oil has dominated the U.S. oil market, and as your best friend, I can't be too far behind."
Li Mu does not hide his ambitions, anyway, Rockefeller will not get involved in the arms industry, and there is no conflict between Li Mu and Rockefeller.
In fact, Li Mu and Rockefeller are not best friends, but Li Mu just wants to deliberately emphasize that this is equivalent to a psychological suggestion, and after a long time and more times, this will become a fact.
Rockefeller didn't notice Li Mu's language trap, and when he heard that Li Mu wanted to establish an American arms "trust", Rockefeller smiled: "Then you have to work hard, Oliver Winchester is not easy to mess with, he won't lose to you so easily." ” In the 21st century, the name Oliver Winchester is associated not so much with Winchester, but with the top 10 haunted houses in the United States.
Oliver Winchester is the founder of Winchester & Co., and he is a household name in the United States, like Samuel Colt, who founded Colt, and unlike Samuel Colt, who died at the age of nearly 47, Oliver Winchester is still alive, and as a millionaire, Oliver Winchester is also a senator from Connecticut.
As a senator, Oliver Winchester had many political resources that no one else had, which paved the way for Winchester's development, and in fact, if it hadn't been for the Turks ordering more than 50,000 1866 rifles and their millions of rounds of ammunition two years ago, Winchester might not have been able to uncover it by now.
After the launch of the shotgun by the Horse Weapons Company, Winchester is trying to catch up with the pace of the Horse Weapons Company, as far as Li Mu knows, the Winchester 1874 shotgun developed by Winchester will soon be on the market, this gun is basically a copy of the "Springfield" shotgun of the Horse Weapons Company, and also uses the pump-action patent belonging to the Horse Group, but has not paid the relevant patent royalties to the Horse Group, so after the Winchester 1874 shotgun is listed, Horse Arms and Winchester still have a lawsuit to fight.
Don't think that with the patent law, you can completely eliminate infringement, which is impossible to eliminate, such as the stainless steel produced by Carnegilim Steel, although Carnegilim Steel has the exclusive authorization of stainless steel in the U.S. market, but there are still other steel mills with "chromium" as the main raw material, adding several other auxiliary materials that do not have much effect, and producing steel products that are also claimed to be "stainless steel" on the market.
Because their formula is not exactly the same as the patented formula of the ZAMA Group, the ZAMA Group cannot sue them for infringement, and this kind of side-kicking behavior almost abounds.
In order to protect its own interests, the ZAMA Group has formed a legal department specifically for infringement incidents, and has hired almost all the famous lawyers in New York, but this still cannot change the status quo, for those small companies, they are afraid of the power of the ZAMA Group, and may bow their heads in front of the court summons, but for large companies like Winchester, they are not afraid of lawsuits, because at the same time as the lawsuits, their allegedly infringing products are still being produced and still profitable, and considering the inefficiency of the US judicial department, When the lawsuit is out, it may take a few years or more than ten years, and Winchester only needs to take out a part of the profits for compensation, and then it can continue to produce.
Patents also have a term of protection, generally speaking, the term of protection of patents is 14 years, as long as this period has passed, Winchester can use the pump principle at will, and then the Junma Group will lose the right of recourse.
It's disgusting, but that's the game
