Everyone in the 21st century knew that Coca-Cola was a carbonated drink, but in the 19th century, no one knew.
In 1885, John Pemberton of Georgia, USA, invented a dark syrup, which was called Pemberton French Wine Coke, and it happened that in 1885, the U.S. government issued a prohibition of alcohol, so Pemberton invented the non-alcoholic French Coke.
In 1886, Pemberton made a refreshing and calming liquid that also relieves headaches, so Pemberton added this liquid to syrup and water, then added ice cubes, and it tasted great, and when pouring the second glass, the assistant accidentally added soda containing carbon dioxide and water, and Coca-Cola was born.
It sounds very simple, but in fact it is not difficult, the "sugar" has not yet reached the level of flooding, and the sweetened drink is already very popular, especially after the prohibition of alcohol in the United States, Coca-Cola had no competitors at that time, so it will sell well.
In fact, purely from the benefits to the human body, carbonated drinks and herbal tea compared to no merit, Coca-Cola found countless experts to tout, and finally only came up with a function that can prevent Alzheimer's disease, this function is very magical, it is said that the University of Glasgow Scottish neurology experts found that drinking 2 cans of carbonated drinks a day can improve people's memory by 20, effectively preventing Alzheimer's disease, because the hippocampus area in the brain will become very active under the stimulation of rising blood sugar, In patients with Alzheimer's disease, the function of the hippocampus often declines, which is caused by the atrophy of the hippocampus.
After talking about the benefits, let's talk about the harm, excessive consumption of carbonated drinks will harm the teeth and lead to osteoporosis, especially for teenagers, and excessive consumption of carbonated drinks will lead to visceral dysfunction, a series of pathological changes such as gastrointestinal mucosal vasoconstriction, gastrointestinal spasm, and decreased secretion, which may cause serious diseases such as esophageal cancer and paralysis.
So how much is it excessive?
The answer is a staggering 250 milliliters, one can of Coca-Cola is about 330 milliliters, and two cans are 660 milliliters, which means that Coca-Cola may really have the potential to prevent Alzheimer's disease, because people who drink Coca-Cola regularly have no chance of getting Alzheimer's disease at all.
Herbal tea does not have these concerns, since it is tea, it should contain a part of tea polyphenols, and the function of tea polyphenols is needless to say, it is beneficial to the human body, so Li Mu hopes to use herbal tea to benefit the American people.
Well, "benefiting society" or something is generally a high-pitched song, in fact, Li Mu hopes to use traditional Chinese food to rule the dining table of Americans, and subtly affect the habits of Americans, and when Americans' clothing, food, housing and transportation are closely linked to the Chinese, whoever dares to mention the Chinese Exclusion Act is the enemy of all Americans.
Li Mu is doing this, to say that the most popular entertainment in the beach club is not golf, which is known as a gentleman's sport, nor is it billiard, which is also considered a gentleman's sport, but mahjong, a small thing that is popular in the Chinese circle, Rockefeller They learned the rules of mahjong, they fell in love with this kind of game, no matter how busy they are at work, they have to find someone to play a few laps every day to be considered enjoyable.
Li Mu doesn't like to play mahjong very much, Li Mu's job is to make money, hobbies are also to make money, although there are also color heads to play mahjong, but this kind of color is too little for Li Mu now.
In New York in October, it is the most boring season of the year, Li Mu looked at the gray sky overhead, felt the cold air every day, and wondered if he was going to Cuba or Hawaii for a vacation or something, the current scenery of Cuba and Hawaii is just right, it is the most beautiful season of the year.
If you want to go on vacation, you must first have a companion, Li Mu's first thought is the first snow, so Li Mu came to the Fortress Park Horse Building.
Chu Xue has been working in the Horse Building during this time, as Li Mu's personal accountant, Chu Xue's work is getting busier and busier, and one person is no longer busy, so Li Mu has compiled a separate accounting department for Chu Xue, and the work location is in the Horse Building.
Watanabe Shin stayed on the small pier in Battery Park for a month, and did not find a chance to meet Li Mu, after learning that San Francisco restricted the naturalization of Japanese, Watanabe Shin scolded Li Mu in Battery Park, and then left with hatred in Chu Wushuang's eyes.
Watanabe Shin still has the name of a diplomat on his body, if it weren't for this talisman, Chu Wushuang would have sunk Watanabe Shin in the pig cage long ago.
Prior to the completion of the 40-story Empire State Building in Central Park, the 17-story Kumad Tower was the tallest building in New York, using nine steam-powered elevators, one of which was dedicated to Li Mu, from the lobby on the ground floor to Li Mu's office at the top.
The accounting department in charge of Chu Xue is on the sixteenth floor of the Junma Building, and after Li Mu reaches the top floor, he has to go down the stairs one floor to get to Chu Xue's accounting department.
On the sixteenth floor, in addition to the accounting department in charge of Chu Xue, there is also the secretary department in charge of Yan Shun, the security department in charge of Mason, and a huge conference room.
The conference room can accommodate up to 200 people at the same time, so even if all the senior executives of the ZAMA Group are gathered, it will not feel crowded.
There are a total of 25 members of Hatsuyuki's accounting department, except for Hatsuyuki and a security guard in charge of cleaning, the others are all senior financial personnel from previous major banks, and the banks they worked for in the past either collapsed in the economic crisis, or suffered heavy losses and had to lay off employees, which has little to do with them, and the bank's decision-makers should bear the main responsibility.
The accounting department is responsible for taking care of Li Mu's private property, trying to avoid taxes as much as possible at the same time, washing Li Mu's unsightly property, and then investing it through various channels, at the same time, the accounting department is also responsible for the financial audit of the entire Junma Group, the major subsidiaries of the Junma Group, the financial statements will be sent to the accounting department every month, and these senior economic experts will conduct audits, once the financial status of the subsidiary is found to be problematic, the first choice of the accounting department is to report to Li Mu.
This is a department that is only responsible for Li Mu.
Therefore, although the accounting department has not been born for a long time, it has been known as the big steward of the Junma Group, and even Henry's salary must be issued by this department.
This is normal, including Henry and Zhang Leye, the senior personnel of the Junma Group, after Chu Xue began to take charge of Li Mu's private finances, their salaries were originally in charge of Chu Xue.
Li Mu hasn't paid close attention to Chu Xue for a long time, three years ago she was still a yellow-haired girl, and now she has been reborn, Chu Xue who has entered the working state is selfless, with a white shirt and straight pencil pants, her hair is tied in a bun at the back of her head and then fixed with a pencil, and she has black-framed glasses on her nose, which looks like a standard iron lady.
Li Mu knew that Chu Xue was not short-sighted, and the lenses of the black-framed glasses were flat lenses, which was the same as Li Mu's shaving, which would make Chu Xue look more mature.
The office decoration of Chu Xue is simple, the most common ordinary desk and chair, a map showing the distribution of the subsidiaries of the Horse Group hanging on the wall, a huge safe in the corner of the house, and nothing else.
When Li Mu entered Chu Xue's office, Chu Xue was talking to a middle-aged white fat man, Li Mu remembered this guy named Kenneth Hart, the former head of the New York branch of the Bank of England, three months ago, Kenneth Hart had just joined the Horse Group.
The Bank of England is not the National Bank of England, but a privately held bank, before the economic crisis, the expansion momentum of this bank was obvious, with more than 30 branches in the United States, but as soon as the economic crisis broke out, this bank was hit hard, almost all branches in the United States were closed, and there were many high-level talents like Kenneth Hart in the market.
Seeing Li Mu come in, Chu Xue quickly ended the conversation and was a little excited to make tea for Li Mu.
It is indeed very rare, since the establishment of the accounting department, this is the first time Li Mu has come to the accounting department, so Li Mu can experience the happiness of the first snow.
"What's wrong with Kenneth" Li Mu took the initiative to care about Chu Xue's work, financial work is a big deal, and handed over such a big mess to Chu Xue, Li Mu felt a little uncomfortable, but there was really no one at hand who could be trusted, so he could only grieve Chu Xue.
Li Mu clearly knows that Chu Xue is a traditional Chinese woman, there is no such thing as "feminism" in these years, and honestly teaching her husband and children at home is the education that Chu Xue has always received, so don't look at Chu Xue's great rights, but Li Mu knows that Chu Xue doesn't like these rights.
"No problem, Kenneth is doing very well, so I'm going to send Kenneth to Cuba, the San Diego Investment Company is getting bigger and bigger, they can't do it anymore by relying on Raul alone, and the asphalt company on Trinidad, although the accounts sent by Nelson and Green are fine, but it's not a problem to have no people over there after all."
Chu Xue thought thoughtfully, this is to insert his henchmen into the rhythm of the Horse Group.
Li Mu's industry in Cuba has always been managed by Raul and his gang of "housekeepers", although Raul is loyal to them, but after all, they are not professionals, let them manage a factory and mine, or a manor is no problem, let them manage an investment company is a bit difficult.
The scale of the Santiago Investment Company has already exceeded 100 million, Li Mu owns a total of four mines in Cuba, 11 plantations, and the entire port of Santiago, as well as Santiago Iron and Steel Works, Santiago Shipyard, Trinidad Asphalt Company, Havana Cigar Factory, San Spiritus Rum Distillery and many other enterprises, some of these industries are jointly operated with the Morgan consortium, such as the Port of Santiago, some are joint ventures with Carnegie, such as Santiago Steel, and some are joint ventures with the Cuban government.
For example, the Havana Cigar Factory and the San Spiritus Rum Distillery, these industries need the right people to operate, and it is simply not enough to rely on a group of housekeepers
