Temperament is something that can't be seen or touched, and the real benefits are the most important.
After the finals of the Football League, Li Mu called Edward Jeffrey, hoping that Edward Jeffrey would come forward to organize the first Olympic Games in the name of the New York City government.
Edward Jeffrey agreed very simply, no matter what it was, as long as Li Mu, Rockefeller, and J Morgan participated, in fact, the opinion of the New York City government was no longer important, even if Li Mu went to William Ewatt and asked William Ewatt to come forward in the name of Washington, William Ewatt would not refuse.
"One question, this is the Games that we are hosting in the United States, why does it have to be related to the Olympics, we call it the National Games, or the Americas Games, can't we call it?"
asked Edward Jeffrey a pointed question at the Olympic Games preparation meeting.
In the competition for governor of New York, Edward Jeffrey finally failed to defeat Nathaniel Philip, for a while, Edward Jeffrey was very frustrated, but Edward Jeffrey quickly adjusted, after all, in terms of seniority and experience, Edward Jeffrey is not Nathaniel Philip's opponent, maybe four years later, Edward Jeffrey and Nathaniel Philip will have a fight.
Like most people nowadays, Edward Jeffrey is actually a bit of an "isolationist" leaning, to put it bluntly, Edward Jeffrey wants to play by himself behind closed doors, and does not want to invite athletes from other countries to participate, especially when Li Mu explains that all the expenses of athletes from other countries are paid by the New York City government.
In addition to expenses, in fact, there is another point, in Li Mu's planning, the Olympic champion has gold medals and bonuses, and this part of the expenses is also responsible for the New York City government, to be honest, Edward Jeffrey does not think that Americans can win all the championships, which means that there will definitely be some gold medals and bonuses won by athletes from other countries, which makes Edward Jeffrey unacceptable.
"If we limit the scope to the United States, or to Europe, then we can't attract those big guys in Europe to come to New York to watch, these people stay in New York, watch the game, will incur related expenses, and they will also buy all kinds of souvenirs, and this part of the income will all belong to the organizing committee, so what do we need to do to determine the rules of the competition, invite European countries to form a delegation to New York to compete, and at the same time be ready to receive tourists from all over the world, I can't predict how much revenue the Olympics will bring to the New York City government, but what is certain is that the Olympics will probably bring more than $50 million in profits to New York, and that part of the profits will be shared by all New Yorkers, so it doesn't matter if the Games are called Olympics or Zeus or whatever, it's just a code name, and if the Hudson River can win the hearts of Europeans, then it doesn't matter if it's called the Hudson River Games.
Li Mu doesn't care what the name of the Games is, if it is the Olympics, it will be more in line with Li Mu's habits, if not, it doesn't matter, anyway, in this world, except for Li Mu, no one else has memories related to the Olympics.
"It's really important to add more European colours."
J Morgan is still very enthusiastic, this time Morgan got on the car in advance, the Morgan consortium has become the first batch of sponsors of the Olympic Games, at present, there are only three sponsors of the Olympic Games, Morgan consortium, Standard Oil, Junma Group.
"It's decided, we're going to make the money of the European bigwigs, and the guys have the best money."
Rockefeller also voted in favor, and basically, as long as there are no fundamental differences, Rockefeller is always in line with Li Mu.
In fact, Edward Jeffrey knows very well that even if he does not rely on the New York City government, the three giants can also run the Olympic Games in a prosperous manner, and pull the New York City Government into the New York City Government, which is equivalent to giving Edward Jeffrey a prestige, and Edward Jeffrey is not satisfied.
"So the next item, on the issue of the competition venue, and the accommodation of the delegation, if we can compress all the competition time into less than three months, then we can borrow the campus of Springfield Institute of Technology, which has a stadium, athletes can live in student dormitories, and Springfield Institute of Technology also has its own canteen, which can save us expenses and also make it easier to manage the athletes."
Li Mu seems to be public-minded, but in fact, he still inevitably wants to carry private goods.
Springfield Institute of Technology is not in Springfield, but on the outskirts of New York, actually in Newark Bay, very close to the wealthy area planned by Li Mu.
The reason why Li Mu is so generous is to promote Springfield Institute of Technology, you must know that Springfield Institute of Technology has been in use for two years now, and next year, there will be the first batch of graduates to go out of the campus, among them, Chinese students account for the vast majority, in these graduates, Li Mu has invested a lot of energy, these students shoulder the important task of improving the overall social status of the Chinese, Li Mu wants to use the Olympic Games, officially to the United States, to the world to introduce these graduates.
"Springfield Institute of Technology, I've heard it's done very well."
J Morgan also does not miss any opportunity to brush up on prestige, it is funny to say, the tycoons of these years don't seem to know how to brush up their prestige, investing in education is such a good way, and now Li Mu has achievements, J Morgan has not realized how much impact education will have.
"Damn, I don't think I have visited Springfield Tech."
Politicians are always sensitive, and Edward Jeffrey was the first to realize his mistakes.
"Then let's go and have a look, and by the way, we can also investigate it first, and if it's appropriate, Reem, you'll be a great favor to us."
Rockefeller is a doer, it is better to see than to hear, it is better to go and see it in person, thinking of the Rockefeller laboratory that has now seen results, Rockefeller feels that it is not bad to invest in a school.
The "Sea Ranger" stopped at the Battery Park dock, and the dock in Newark Bay was basically completed and could be reached directly along New York Bay.
On the "Sea Ranger", a group of people turned a blind eye to the 75mm naval rapid-fire gun equipped on the "Sea Ranger", which must have violated the relevant laws, but so what, even if he was troublesome with Li Mu, Li Mu had a suitable reason.
On this point, the Echo newspaper once raised doubts, Time magazine interviewed Li Mu for this, Li Mu replied like this: these guns are all test samples used by the New Ilhelan artillery factory for testing, and the test time is currently for corrosion resistance projects, the test time is about five to six years, rest assured, there are only sailors on board, no sailors, no one will use them.
This reason is not perfect, but it can be said, this matter cannot be investigated, if it is investigated in detail, then the New York Navy Shipyard that sold the "Sea Ranger" to Li Mu is also responsible, as well as the New York Coast Guard, they are at least negligent, and the most important thing is that whoever dares to investigate must be prepared to be targeted by the Horse Group.
Unlike Guantanamo, and unlike San Diego, the Port of Newark is a port that belongs to the Zama Group in the real sense, from the beginning of the design to the construction, all by the Zama Construction Company, no one to point fingers, no one to pick and choose, before that, Newark Bay is a blank sheet of paper, Junma Construction Company to fill all the colors bit by bit.
After entering the 1.5 kilometers long anti-wave ti, it is the inner harbor of Newark Port, because the port has not yet been put into use, so there are only a few transport ships transporting construction materials docked at the cargo terminal on the wharf, and the passenger terminal is very clean, here is Li Mu for the rich people in New York to dock their yachts in the future, at least after five or six years, it will be prosperous here.
Although it has not been put into use, but the facilities have been basically perfected, the wharf shore has installed a lot of street lamps that are still very few, now these street lamps have not been electrified, after the power will be turned on at night when it will be very beautiful, on the dock, the ground is all hardened with cement, which is the big deal of the Junma Group, this year the asphalt pavement has not yet been popularized, the use of cement is a luxury, in Newark, this is already the basic standard, all the hardened ground in Newark Bay, even if it is an alley, is all hardened with cement, This nicely defines Newark's community values.
"Of course, the use of cement will increase the cost, but the benefits are also many, such as the maintenance of the cement floor is more convenient than the asphalt floor, and the cement floor is also more flat, this is only near the wharf, in the residential area, in fact, more bluestone is used, the cost of bluestone is higher, but the visual effect is also better, the design is richer, more individual."
Li Mu took the opportunity to sell Newark Bay to Edward Jeffrey, Rockefeller and J Morgan, they would not live in the community developed by Li Mu, no matter how perfect the facilities were, they couldn't afford to lose this person.
"Where is the residential area" Edward Jeffrey did not see the residential area, and in fact there were not a few houses along the coastal road, but the road was basically paved.
"This is the planned residential area, when the management will provide different classic designs, for the owners to choose, the past six months, Junma Construction Company has been digging ditches to repair roads, just under the road, there are sewers, water supply pipes, heating pipes, communication pipes, and underground power grids, in short, you can think of everything."
Li Mu is still proud, Newark Bay Area, even in the 21st century, is not backward, but now in the 19th century, when Li Mu made the plan at that time, he doubted whether the Horse Construction Company could be successfully completed, and now it seems that the Horse Construction Company is still trustworthy.
"Ha, Rimnick is amazing, I admire you, set aside a block for me, and I will reward the company executives as a prize."
Rockefeller still couldn't help but start, although a top rich man like Rockefeller would not choose to live in Newark Bay, but the middle class living in Newark Bay is very suitable, this is Li Mu's positioning, for different groups of people, there will always be needs.
"Set aside a block for me, too, don't look at me like that, I'll give you a good price."
J Morgan also did it, but not to reward employees, but to invest.
In the 19th century, there were not many investment channels, and as in the 21st century, the most stable returns were still real estate, so many big men in Europe waved checks to invest in the United States, even if they were sheared by the Americans every few years, they were still happy to do so, which well reflected the financial situation in the 19th century.
"I'll see if my four-year salary can buy a house here" Everyone present, in fact, Edward Jeffrey is the hardest, don't look at Edward Jeffrey is the mayor of New York, but to buy a house in Newark Bay, Edward Jeffrey also has to weigh his wallet.
"There is only one disadvantage of expensive things, that is, they are expensive, the rest are advantages, cheap things are nothing but cheap, your choice is undoubtedly correct, Edward, don't worry, there is a house here that belongs to you, you don't have to pay, I lent it to you."
Li Mu was generous when he should be generous, just a house, and he didn't have to transfer the ownership, in exchange for Edward Jeffrey's friendship, how to calculate how cost-effective.

Nineteenth-century bribery is still at a relatively primitive level, a few years ago, Mrs.
Grant still used her pocket when she collected money, if Edward Jeffrey really bought a house in Newark Bay, even if the source of the money was fine, it would be suspicious, the borrowed house was no problem, no one was qualified to question it, the whole operation was not illegal, and it was still very useful to have a team of lawyers.
Walk not far, enter Sunset Street, on both sides of the road is the landscape trees that have just been planted, someone is responsible for taking care of them, after a few years, when these landscape trees grow, Newark Bay also began to be put into use, the scenery must be very beautiful at that time, Edward Jeffrey found a lot of red maples unique to North America, autumn is the best season to watch red maples, and when the sunset comes, it will definitely be beautiful and thrilling.
What surprised Edward Jeffrey the most was that since he stepped on the Newark docks, Edward Jeffrey didn't find even a small piece of sewage, which is a miracle, and in other parts of New York, even in Battery Park, which is known for its cleanliness and tidiness, sewage has always been an incurable disease, but all of this is completely invisible in Newark Bay, and compared to Manhattan, ten kilometers away, it is as clean as a child's eye, immaculate
