Becoming a rich man, while enjoying the convenience and glory brought by wealth, also means that most of the happiness that ordinary people have is gradually leaving Li Mu.
For ordinary people, many people after marriage, or even on the night of the wedding, will take stock of how much money they have earned for this show, Li Mu does not have this kind of happiness, for Li Mu, no matter how much money he makes, it is just the icing on the cake, since the Horse Group moved its headquarters from Springfield to New York, Li Mu has not calculated in detail how much money he has in his hands, because it is difficult to calculate, Li Mu's money is increasing every minute, and even this part of the increase is something that ordinary people cannot earn in their lifetime.
Of course, the wedding night is also a luxury for Li Mu, ordinary people will leave enough space for the young couple on the wedding day anyway, so that they can have an unforgettable wedding night, which is also impossible for Li Mu and Gloria, after all, there are Hayes, Sylvester, Martinez Silva and other important people with enough weight among the guests, and Li Mu can't throw them all down.
In fact, almost the entire wedding night, Li Mu was busy drinking tea and chatting with people, and he didn't have time to take care of Gloria.
Li Mu's wedding banquet was also held at the Clinton Castle Hotel, and a total of eight chefs from the Qing Empire and France worked together to create a gluttonous feast of East and West for all the guests.
It's a pity that as the host of the wedding, Li Mu didn't have time to taste the craftsmanship of top chefs from the East and the West.
"Congratulations to you, Reem, for finally completing the important ritual of your life and starting a new phase from here, and as your friend, I am very happy for you."
The person waiting for Li Mu in the conference room was Hayes, he and Li Mu did have a lot to say, and it was not convenient for others to know.
"I'm so glad you're here, Mr.
President, and it reminds me of the days when we worked together, and it was a memorable memory of us accomplishing something together that would have seemed impossible to anyone else."
Speaking of Hayes's successful election, Li Mu is still very proud, which is also the most fulfilling thing for Li Mu since Li Mu's rebirth.
Although for now, it seems that the friendship between Li Mu and Hayes did not last, but this does not dilute Li Mu's memory of that time.
"Yes, that's a beautiful memory to remember" The expression on Hayes's face was complicated, with nostalgia, regret, and a hint of anticipation, all of which were directly reflected in his tone: "I have to say, I thought things were too simple before, maybe I was not ready to be president, and if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to be elected." ” Hayes finally said a fair word, no matter whether Hayes is ready to be president or not, whether he has the ability to serve as president, if there is no Li Mu's strategy behind the scenes, he still can't go to the end, and he doesn't even have a chance to start.
Just like Ulysses Grant.
"It's all gone, isn't it, we have to look forward, no matter what, we want to see a strong America, that's our common aspiration, and on that basis, I think we should seek common ground while reserving differences."
Li Mu also wants to open it now, everyone is right, they are all fighting for the interests of the groups they represent, of course, the way is still to be discussed.
Of course, if you analyze it from a deep level, Li Mu represents the interests of all Chinese Americans, which is destined to make Li Mu not stand on the perspective of the overall situation when considering problems, and from this point of view, the interests represented by Li Mu are selfish.
As the president of the United States, Hayes represents the interests of all the United States and all Americans, so Hayes will analyze the problem from the perspective of the overall situation, which is different from Li Mu's way of thinking from the starting point, so if Hayes and Li Mu do not back down from each other, the contradiction can only get bigger and bigger.
Of course, whether it is Li Mu or Hayes, they have a basic starting point for considering the problem, that is, they need a strong United States as the foundation, Li Mu needs a strong United States to ensure the interests of the Junma Group, and Hayes also needs a strong United States to prove that the American people's choice is not wrong, so the contradiction between Li Mu and Hayes is not irreconcilable at the same time.
This, of course, requires someone's concessions as a catalyst.
Obviously, in front of the entire bourgeoisie represented by Li Mu, even if Hayes is the president of the United States, he can only choose to back down.
"That's right, we should seek common ground while reserving differences, this is the premise of resolving all contradictions, and reasonable people will do this."
Hayes very much agrees with Li Mu's statement, no way, the prime minister is great: "When I was governor before, I thought that President Ulysses Grant was not a qualified president, if I were in that position, I would definitely be able to do better, now that I think about it, I was really ridiculous at that time, and I now understand how great President Ulysses Grant is." ” This is a bit of a misnomer, and what Ulysses Grant did was absolutely not related to the word "great", especially when compared to his predecessor, Lincoln.
Of course, Li Mu will definitely not say this point, on the latest version of the dollar issued by the Bank of America, the fifty-dollar portrait is Ulysses Grant, the one hundred dollars is Franklin, who drafted the Declaration of Independence, and as for Abraham Lincoln, his portrait is printed on the five-dollar bill.
This arrangement must have had a certain amount of personal affection, and if he sat in a row according to his achievements during his tenure, Lincoln's portrait would at least be eligible to compete for fifty dollars, even if it was not on a hundred-dollar bill, and as for Ulysses Grant, I am afraid that he would not be able to take his turn on a dollar-dollar bill.
The reason why Hayes had to face the reality has a lot to do with the successive encounters in Hayes during this time.
At the beginning of his presidency, Hayes vowed to build a "clean and efficient" government and a more "fair and just" society.
The presidential election is only the president, and then there may be some staff around the president, but this replacement does not mean a complete replacement, and it is impossible for Hayes to even change the staff around him, let alone other government departments, even if the president is replaced, but those departments, whether they are in charge or errands, or those people when Ulysses Grant was in power, have not changed at all.
Hayes' intention to establish a "clean and efficient" government is good, but it also means a complete repudiation of the Ulysses Grant administration, and the implication is that the previous US government was neither efficient nor clean.
Less than a year into his presidency, Hayes has offended almost most Republicans because he wants to make overtures to the Democrats, and at the same time, he has offended the bourgeoisie who brought him to power in the first place because of the need to clear taxes, and now he has offended all government employees because of the implementation of government reforms, and these people are supposed to be Hayes's right-hand men Speaking of offending people, Hayes is definitely a talent, it is indeed not easy for this guy to survive until now, and probably Hayes himself has realized that if he doesn't do something, he probably won't be able to survive the four-year term safely.
"The sign of growth is to learn to consider problems from the perspective of other people, sometimes we have to compromise, we have to back down, but that does not mean that we are weak, we are just looking for another possibility to solve the problem" Li Mu tried his best to choose a tactful way to remind Hayes, after all, as a president, Hayes has his own dignity, if Li Mu says too much, I am afraid that the result will be counterproductive, then it will be the same mistake as Hayes.
Objectively speaking, there is nothing wrong with Hayes wanting to build a clean and efficient government and a fair and just society, and that is what a president should do.
From Hays's point of view, the problem should be considered more comprehensively, and the choice should be more cautious, if the method is changed and a more gentle way is chosen, perhaps better results will be achieved.
At least it won't be as bad as it is now.
"Yes, I've realized now that I'm a little too radical, so I'm going to take a different approach and see if I can break new ground."
Hayes himself is aware of this problem, and what is even more commendable is that Hayes has the courage to admit mistakes and does not shy away from his own mistakes, which is easy to win the favor of others.
Western politics is like this, politicians are not afraid of making mistakes, they have to admit when they make mistakes, and in many cases they even have the courage to take mistakes and take responsibility for themselves that do not belong to them, so that they will look more responsible, and it will be easier to get forgiveness from the public.
On the other hand, if there is a problem and blindly shirks the responsibility, in order to evade responsibility or even lie, it is tantamount to making a mistake of principle, and the mistake is directly raised to the level of character, which will deal a devastating blow to the prestige of a politician.
The reason for this situation, this is related to the traditional thinking of the East and the West, the East has extremely strict requirements for "parent officials", Dayu is in line with the image of "three through the door and not entering" in line with the positioning of Oriental officials, and the West is generally more humane on this issue, officials make mistakes are not terrible, what is terrible is not to dare to face mistakes, sometimes there is a stain is not a bad thing, as long as it is not a mistake in principle, it will only make the image of politicians look more down-to-earth and more close to the people.
If we analyze it at a deeper level, through the degree of tolerance for mistakes, we can see the attitude of the East and the West towards power, relatively speaking, Easterners are more courageous in the face of power, while Westerners show more obedience in the face of power.
"I believe that you will be able to, Mr.
President, in fact, your approach is more in line with the interests of the majority of people, and I believe that sooner or later, you will get the understanding you deserve."
Li Mu's words are really not a compliment, in the original history, Hayes was much higher than Ulysses Grant in his evaluation.
Equivalent to the United States in the 21st century, the United States in the 19th century was a "developing country" through and through, since it is a developing country, it is normal for chaos to occur in a period of time, and the degree of integrity of the government is gradually improved with the degree of economic development.
"I hope so" Hayes's spirit is finally better, and Hayes doesn't expect to be able to give up his old suspicions with Li Mu through a conversation, so far this is enough, at least this is a good start.

Still just left, Sylvestre, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, walked in immediately.
As usual, it was another congratulations, Yan Shun poured a cup of black tea for Li Mu and a glass of rum from Cuba for Sylvester, and the conversation between Li Mu and Sylvester began with rum.
"This year's sugar cane harvest was bumper and rum production was higher than usual, but the increase was not reflected in the financial statements, so Reem, I have a request, if I can, I hope that Santiago Investment Company can help Cuba build an efficient and clean tax system" Sylvester traveled all the way from Havana to New York, certainly not just to attend Li Mu's wedding.
Most of Cuba's plantations are in the hands of large plantation owners headed by Li Mu, Li Mu's plantations in Cuba now exceed 1.6 million acres, in terms of area, certainly not as much land as Li Mu has in the United States, or even more land in a state in the central region, but in terms of unit efficiency, the plantation has brought more income to Li Mu, after all, almost all of the plantations are cash crops.
Although it is the same "United States" as the United States, the tax department of the United States of Cuba, compared with the tax department of the United States, is obviously not on the same level, Silvestre's words are not accusing the plantation owners headed by Li Mu of tax evasion, but referring to the staff of the tax department to enrich their own pockets, which is absolutely unacceptable to Silvestre.
In fact, the economic underdeveloped areas are the same, and the root cause of many problems is that people have no money and no livelihood security, so all kinds of corruption will breed.
In a situation similar to the United States of Cuba, if there is no external intervention, it is very difficult to get a fundamental improvement, so Sylvester asked for help from Li Mu, hoping that Li Mu could help Sylvester get the money he deserved.
This kind of thing is not without precedent in this era, and the customs of the Qing Empire is the best example
