After lunch, Li Mu and Green Giles came to the main venue of the Independence Centennial Exhibition to start their treasure hunt.
The Centennial Exhibition of Adult Independence is scheduled to open on May 1, but in fact, the decoration work of the main exhibition hall has been completed before the year, and as of the end of March, the layout of the exhibition hall has been completed.
It can be seen how tight the funds of the organizing committee of this independent centennial exhibition are, and the New York City government is also "poor" and afraid.
Tickets to the exhibition cost one dollar, and visitors can keep the ticket stub as a souvenir and receive a miniature doll of the goddess of victory.
Entering the hall of the Centennial Exhibition of Independence, the entrance is the 13-meter-high, 56-ton, 1400-horsepower Criss-style steam engine, which is also the largest steam engine in the world, representing the industrial technology level of the United States.
In addition to the Chris steam engine, at this independent centennial exhibition, the states will exhibit the fruits of the era of the first industrial revolution, such as steam-powered generators, starters, printing presses, forging machines, etc.
In addition to these technologically mature but ancient industrial machines, the Centennial Exhibition will introduce to all visitors a large number of products that are the pinnacle of the era of the Second Industrial Revolution, including internal combustion engines, automobiles, electric lights, telephones, sewing machines, typewriters, duplex telegraphs, and other advanced equipment that represent the highest level of industry at this time.
In fact, this independent centennial exhibition should be "American product exposition" in the strict sense, although there are as many as 35 countries participating in this world exhibition, but American products account for more than half of the total number of single products, of which nearly half of the products in the main hall are American products, the machinery hall American products occupy three-quarters, the agricultural hall occupies two-thirds, and the horticultural hall is almost all American products.
Among all the U.S. products, the exhibits related to the ZAMA Group account for nearly a quarter of the total, which fully reflects the ZAMA Group's position in the US economy.
The products of the Junma Group are indeed eye-catching, all the internal combustion engines that appear at the exhibition are the products of the Junma Group, although there are more than ten brands of automobiles, but almost all the cars use the engines of the Junma Group.
In addition to automobiles and internal combustion engines, ZAMA Group also occupies an absolute monopoly position in the field of electric lighting and telephone, and all the lights and telephones that appeared at the exhibition were provided by ZAMA Group, including 1,200 light bulbs for the main exhibition hall, which were donated by ZAMA Group.
It feels like the exhibition has been in the past ten days, and the products of the ZAMA Group are indeed very popular, among which the ZAMA Automobile Company has received orders for nearly 7,000 cars from all over the United States and Europe, and it will take a whole year next year to complete these orders in terms of the current output of the ZAMA Automobile Company.
Electric light and telephones also made gains, although British companies did not have any contact with the companies of the ZAMA Group, but orders from France, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and the Kingdom of Italy still made the ZAMA Group eat a lot of money, and in just ten days, the ZAMA Group received orders worth 15 million US dollars from the lights and telephones.
The bigger surprise came from the horse clothing company, the second day of the opening of the independent centennial exhibition, the horse clothing company got an order from the Ottoman Turkish Empire for 500,000 sets of military uniforms, this order simply made Cao Anran ecstatic, according to the current production capacity of the horse clothing company, even if it is overtime, it will take eight months to complete the order.
Therefore, Li Mu approved a series of new factory requests during this time, not only the Junma Automobile Factory, the Junma Electric Factory, and the Junma Apparel Factory, but even the Carnekilim Steel Company was seeking to expand.
The larger the scale of the company, the higher the influence of the Junma Group, and the more cautious others should be if they want to go against the Junma Group.
There aren't that many people who do nothing, and there aren't many second-tier groups like the Texas Cotton Farmers Association.
By the way, under the "mediation" of Samuel Tilden, the Texas Farm Association has been completely relented, and the Texans must not only restore the supply to ensure the quality, but also exempt the Horse Grocery Company from 20% of the unpaid goods as compensation to the Horse Apparel Company.
Li Mu was satisfied with this result, in fact, this compensation is dispensable for Li Mu, Li Mu doesn't care about this money, but Li Mu needs to use this money to show the majesty of the Junma Group, so that those who are about to move on the Junma Group remain calm.
In this regard, Samuel Tilden once proposed to recognize the victory of the Horse Group with a symbolic practice of "one dollar in compensation".
Li Mu resolutely rejected this request, "one dollar" does sound full of coercion, but it is actually a standard two-force behavior, yes, yes, the winner does not need to blame, if he is wrong, he must pay the price, if he wants to take a dollar, it will be a big thing and a small matter, who is this fooling With this money, Li Mu would rather donate it to the lonely and widowed old people in the United States, at least this can buy a large number of people's hearts, why should it be cheaper for those people who don't cry when they don't see the coffin.
You have already got such a perfect start before you have officially started, Li Mu is not worried about the harvest of the Junma Group at all, and you can also shift more of your mind to Taobao in the main exhibition hall.
In fact, don't look at the independent centennial exhibition claims to have dozens of sub-venues, in fact, the essence of the part is in this main exhibition hall, other professional venues and sub-venues of various countries are a decoration, especially the sub-venues of various countries, many of which are not open to the public at all, only used to provide accommodation for domestic exhibitors, or only to receive domestic exhibitors.
According to the requirements of the Independent Centennial Exhibition Committee, all participating countries should have their own exhibition halls, but in fact this is not the case at all, only 15 of the 35 participating countries have their own exhibition halls, and the rest of the countries do not consider this issue at all.
For example, the Qing Empire did not have its own exhibition hall.
Although the Qing Empire also sent a delegation to participate in the Centennial Exhibition of Independence, and also brought more than 6,800 kinds, more than 700 boxes, and exhibits worth 200,000 taels of silver, in fact, the Qing Empire did not take this exhibition seriously at all, and people did not come to sell things, just to show the treasures of the Qing Empire, and perfectly played the role of a man who was innocent and guilty.
At this time, the Qing Empire, although it has a long history and a large land, does not have an international status in the international community that matches their population, so the booth of the Qing Empire is located in an inconspicuous corner on the edge of the main exhibition hall.
When Greens came to the main exhibition hall, he must first inspect the exhibition hall of the United Cuban States.
Because of its relationship with the United States, the United States of Cuba has found a very well-located showroom, which is located next to the showroom of the Kufma Group, in the middle of the entire main showroom.
Li Mu had already seen the exhibition hall of the United States of Cuba, so he was temporarily separated from Greens, and Li Mu went to the exhibition hall of the Qing Empire alone.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that Li Mu is really going alone, it's just that there is no need for others to waste pen and ink, in fact, Li Mu will bring more than a dozen entourages with him at any time, Chu Xue and Mason must be indispensable, and the rest are security personnel with big shoulders and round waists.
Li Mu's bodyguards are all from the Springfield Security Company, they are wearing uniform black suits and hats that are convenient for movement, and they are all more than 1.9 meters tall, and it is impossible not to be eye-catching.
There is such a group of people around, so there will hardly be any bloody incidents, and when others see this large group of tall and strong bodyguards, they will naturally weigh their own weight, and they can't hide if they can't be provoked In fact, there are not so many brains in the real society, the strange man who shouted "My dad is so-and-so" is actually such a thing in the world, this is still accidentally released by his father, if there is such a scourge in other people's homes, even if he is not strangled to death, he will not be allowed to go out casually to show his face to cause trouble.
In fact, including the strange guy who shouted "My dad is so-and-so", his background is just like that, and those who really have a background won't say that at all, people don't do such tasteless things, and even if they say it, the media don't dare to report it.
The exhibition hall of the Qing Empire is indeed very oriental charm, you can see the tall wooden entrance archway from afar, the entrance archway is exquisitely made, the bucket arch and eaves are carved and the beams are painted, and it comes from the hands of skilled craftsmen at a glance.
This archway has been made in the Qing Empire, disassembled and transported here and then assembled, looking at this craftsmanship is estimated to be on par with Lao Yan.
On the front of the archway is the "Great Qing Kingdom" plaque written by Li Gui, the representative of industry and commerce of the Qing Empire.
A native of Jiangning, Li Gui served in the Ningbo Customs in 1865 and was later ordered by Hurd, the chief of the Qing Imperial Customs, to participate in the Centennial Exhibition of American Independence.
There is also a couplet on the archway, and the upper link is: the grand view of the eighteen provinces, the heavenly work can be taken; The next link is: Celebrating the 100th Anniversary Event, Friendship Ston; Horizontal batch: Wuhua Tianbao.
If there is no word on this archway, Li Mu doesn't mind moving away even the archway, even now, although this archway is also made of sandalwood, but Li Mu is now the most important thing is sandalwood.
The Qing Empire's exhibition halls still featured porcelain and silk, as well as wood carvings, fine wines, furniture, furs, and precious medicinal herbs.
Looking at the exhibition halls of the empire, there is not the slightest trace of industry, and even from the eyes of the 19th century, this place is more like a museum, very different from the exhibition halls of other countries.
Before Li Mu entered the exhibition hall of the Qing Empire, Mason, as the head of Li Mu's bodyguard, should first go in and take a turn to determine the safety of the entire exhibition hall.
In fact, there is no need to worry too much about the security situation, the security work of the entire independent centennial exhibition has been contracted by the Chuntian Security Company, and Li Mu still has confidence in the Chuntian Security Company.
Although he is confident, the procedures that should be in place are still not saved at all, especially after the conflict with the Texans, the security around Li Mu is loose and tight, and no one is sure, although the Texans are soft-hearted, whether they have given up the possibility of retaliation in their hearts.

No one dares to take this responsibility, so let's be careful.
It is estimated that in the past few days, there are really few foreigners who have come to visit the exhibition hall of the Qing Empire, more than a dozen "old zombies" wearing robes and horse coats are bored in the exhibition hall, the older ones are chatting in a bunch, and the younger ones are getting together to comment on the white faces in the exhibition halls of other countries around them, and they are looking at each other.
But as everyone knows, they are the objects of onlookers here.
To be honest, if he wasn't interested in the things left by these ancestors, Li Mu really didn't want to see this group of "zombies", and seeing the braid on the back of these zombies' heads, Li Mu felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart.
If you think about it carefully, in addition to contributing countless palace fighting dramas to the screen of later generations, there are almost no other contributions that Li Mu can think of, they are like a group of parasites, now lying on the body of the Han people to suck blood, and they will jump out from time to time in the future to disgust people, and they don't feel that they have anything disgusting, just like Ah Q in the main biography of Ah Q, the ancestors are wider than that, since they are wide, they have to be taken out from time to time to show off, as for whether other people will feel uncomfortable, They don't care Mason, a white face who suddenly burst into the exhibition hall with more staff than guests, was immediately greeted with a warm welcome, and two translators who spoke half-baked English greeted him with a stumbling greeting, and it took Mason a lot of effort to understand that the two men had invited him over for tea with the "old zombies". drink tea Drink your sister Lao Tzu still has to work well Mason simply rejected the invitation of the translator, and after making sure that there were no safety hazards in the entire exhibition area, he sent a signal to Li Mu.
Li Mu didn't bring more than a dozen people to hula all in, and only brought Chu Xue in alone.
Seeing Li Mu and Chu Xue, the two translators were stunned for a while before you pushed me and I pushed you to catch up, and when they came up, they were still in English: "Welcome, welcome" This English has a spell with Mr.
Zhao's English, full of Tangshan flavor.
Not to mention, Li Mu listened really kindly.
"Speak Chinese, I can understand it."
Li Mu has a rare and pleasant face.
At Li Mu's level, there is really no need to use a pleasant face to prove that he is approachable, Americans who love to show off are politicians, ordinary Americans have so many fancy intestines, if Li Mu puts on a smiling face when he sees anyone, others will not only disrespect you but will also make fun of you.
That's the quality of Americans these years
