Li Mu has always believed that there is no nationality in culture.
Whether it is a Chinese child or a white child, as long as they enter the Junma Affiliated School, they must pass the Chinese course before they can enter the next stage of study, and I have not seen any discomfort with those white children, and those white parents also have no objections.
This requirement may seem like a "great rebellion" in the 21st century, but in this era, the Junma Affiliated School is Li Mu's school, if anyone does not want to accept this regulation, then they can not study in the Junma Affiliated School, Li Mu did not ask who has to go to it.
The library of the future is the same, of course, the library will provide services for ordinary people, but the necessary membership system is also definitely needed, non-members are probably not eligible to borrow books from the library, and books are open to different levels of members according to the degree of preciousness, if you want to see those precious single books, you can, spend more money to apply for a library card of the highest level.
Sounds a bit "treacherous", doesn't it?
In fact, the saddest thing is not the paid service, but that you can't see it if you want to spend money to read books, Li Mu is not a philanthropist, at least not yet.
For such a library, Arthur has no reason to refuse, and even the parliamentarians in New York have no reason to refuse, and only a tycoon like Li Mu has the ability to organize such a large-scale cultural rescue, and others can't do it even if they want to, because they don't have money, and they are not willing to spend it if they have money.
Three days later, the New York City Council agreed to Li Mu's request that the New York City Government help the New York City Government build the main exhibition hall free of charge, and after the end of the Centennial Exhibition, the New York City Government will donate the main exhibition hall to the ZAMA Group free of charge, so that the ZAMA Group can be converted into a library with a collection of no less than 500,000 books.
The New York City Government is indeed rich, although it owes a lot of debt, but the New York City Government has this confidence, since it is generous, it simply does not even want the 500,000 of the Horse Group, and the New York City Council has also invested heavily in order to improve the city's style. 500,000 books is not a small number, although the public library of the future will have a collection of 4.1 million books, but it is based on highly developed media, and now in the 19th century, it is not easy to get 500,000 books.
Well, in fact, Li Mu even doubted that there were 500,000 books in this world, and the original Yongle Ceremony was only more than 10,000 volumes, which was already all the cultural achievements of China for thousands of years.
Of course, this collection does not mean that there must be 500,000 kinds, an Encyclopedia Britannica has a total of three volumes, and if you get a hundred sets and put them in the library management, it will become a collection of 300 books, which sounds like a bit too much, but as the most practical encyclopedia in the world at present, 100 books may not be enough.
With the library plan, the preparation of a printing house for Time magazine has also been successfully put on the agenda, so there is no need to let Li Mu worry about this kind of thing, just call Samirakin and ask Samirakin to arrange someone to do it.
Before the construction of the main exhibition hall began, Junma Construction Company still had one more work to do, that is, the demolition work on the land of the main exhibition hall.
Well, in fact, on the land of the main exhibition hall, most of the buildings belong to the Junma Automobile Factory, and the demolition cost is part of the construction cost.
The Junma Automobile Factory is easy to do, but others are not very easy to do, so when the Chuntian Security Company comes forward, don't look at the Springfield Security Company has been whitewashed, but those unsightly projects have not been completely thrown away, but compared with before, the means are more concealed, and the procedures are more formal.
At the beginning of July, Li Mu transferred more than 7,000 workers from San Diego to support the simultaneous construction of several construction sites, which barely supported all the construction sites without running out of manpower.
In mid-July, Chen Guofang went from Hawaii to Washington to take up his post, and made a special detour to New York to visit Li Mu.
Li Mu chose to entertain Chen Guofang at Clinton Castle.
In fact, if you want to entertain guests, San Jose Restaurant is more suitable, but Li Mu knows that what Chen Guofang needs most now is connections, so Li Mu chose to entertain Chen Guofang at Clinton Castle, and also introduced more friends to Chen Guofang.
Both government officials, Arthur and Runkel became Li Mu's companions.
Returning to New York with Chen Guofang is Benjamin, who has finally completed his show in Hawaii and returned to New York with the honor of "philanthropist", preparing to return to Ohio to start a new political career.
In fact, even if Li Mu did not appear, Benjamin would have become a senator in 1881, and now because of Li Mu, Benjamin's prospects are higher, and the prospects are quite optimistic, if there is no accident, Benjamin will be elected as a senator in this year's senatorial election.
Also running for the Senate is Samuel, but Samuel will not run for the Senate of Massachusetts, but for the Senate of New York.
New York has lost its credibility because of a Tweed, and one of the two senators who have been re-elected has "resigned due to illness", and the other is also dying, so there is a good chance of electing Samuel this time.
Knowing Benjamin and Samuel's intentions, Li Mu has a big heart, if Benjamin and Samuel are elected together, then in Congress, Li Mu will have Runkel, Burnside, Chen Guofang, Benjamin, Samuel and other five hardcore comrades, which is very important to Li Mu, presumably if there is another World Expo vote, New York should not win so hard.
"So, let's wish Chan all the best in Washington, D.C., and Benjamin and Samuel every election."
Li Mu raised his glass halfway through the banquet.
In order to conform to the habits of the members, Li Mu chose a Western-style buffet, which is also more convenient for the communication between the participants and easier to meet more friends.
"Wishing you success" "Cheers" The members were very cooperative, and everyone raised their glasses to send their best wishes to Chen Guofang, Benjamin and Samuel.
"Thank you, thank you very much" Benjamin led the representatives Chen Guofang and Samuel to thank him, compared to before he left for Hawaii, Benjamin is now more mature and more sensible: "Thank you for your friendship, in fact, we don't have to see each other like this, we are also beach club members, so we are our own people" Benjamin's words were met with laughter, and the more politicians the beach club has, the more influence the beach club has, which is a good thing for all members.
"I have to say, if possible, I invite you to visit Hawaii, it's such a fascinating place to linger, and Chen has a bigger say in that.
So now, we have Chen, from Hawaii.
Benjamin didn't forget to introduce Chen Guofang to everyone.
In a burst of warm and polite applause, Chen Guofang folded his hands and stood up and bowed around: "Thank you, thank you, Mr.
Benjamin, for saying that you are right, Hawaii is indeed a place to linger, unlike the fashionable and advanced New York, Hawaii has unparalleled natural scenery, white sandy beaches, crystal waves, and spring temperatures all year round, everything is so beautiful."
Chen Guofang did a wave of advertising for Hawaii by the way, this opportunity is rare, all the people present are New York tycoons, and 10,000 households are embarrassed to enter the door, at least they have to be millionaires, as long as they say that they can bring an investment to Hawaii.
Taking advantage of Chen Guofang's advertising efforts, Benjamin came to Li Mu's side.
"Congratulations, maybe the next time we meet, I'll call you Mr.
Senator, and if I ask you to do something, you must not give me a closed door."
Li Mu took the initiative to joke and used this to pull in the strangeness between him and Benjamin.
Even if the relationship between friends is good, it needs to be constantly maintained, after all, there is no family affection as a natural bond, so don't look at it It's only been two months apart, but Li Mu actually feels a little strange to Benjamin, which is not a good sign.
"Haha, I will, unless you get me some shares in the Rose Company."
As soon as Benjamin spoke, Li Mu knew that the familiar Benjamin was back.
The speed of news transmission in this era is still a little slower, and the news of the Rose Company has only now reached Hawaii, which shows the preciousness of the information in these years.
"No, no, don't ask me for shares, I don't have it myself."

Li Mu waved his hand again and again, and now if Li Mu can still take out the shares, these members on the scene will have to go crazy.
From the beginning of June to the beginning of July, in just one month, the shares of Rose Company, which were speculated at sky-high prices, are still rising further.
When the auction was first held, every 100th share of the rose company was 100 shares, and the average value of each share reached 15,000 US dollars.
The impact of the economic crisis is gradually disappearing, Li Mu underestimated the pursuit of capital for high-quality assets, and the Europeans who suffered heavy losses in the economic crisis last year began to enter the market one after another, and they missed the auction a month ago, and could only choose sporadic stocks in the market, in just one month, the original 15,000 US dollars a share of rose company shares has now appreciated to 19,000 US dollars per share, and it is about to exceed 20,000.
If it exceeds 20,000, then the market value of Rose will reach a terrifying 200 million US dollars, which will undoubtedly be the most valuable company in the world
