What did Marx say back then: with 50% profits, capital will take risks; For the sake of 100% profits, capital dares to trample on all human laws; With a profit of 300 percent, capital dares to commit any crime, even the danger of hanging.
The return on capital of searching for treasure is not more than 300 percent, Li Mu and Rockefeller are looking for the treasure of the underground vault of the Padmanaba Swami Temple, the cost from beginning to end is not more than one million dollars, but the profit obtained is more than 200 million, even if the British do not have such a high rate of return on capital, more than 300 percent is certain, how can they give up easily.
Of course, it has always been only to see thieves eating meat and not thieves being beaten, on the road of treasure hunting, there are few and few people who get rich rewards, and more people have lost their money, this is a rich man's game, the rich can bear these losses, and the poor take risks to participate, and often lose their own lives.
It's worth the cost, just like the worker who tried to hide the emerald in his mouth and take it away, once discovered, he became a sacrifice hanging on the cross, and life was so vulnerable.
On the third day of Ford Benjamin's hospitalization, the Colombian government announced that Ford Benjamin died of his injuries, and the news media in Bogotá were boiling, and Ford Benjamin's "death" was considered a major victory for the Colombian government in the process of fighting criminals.
Hayes still gave Li Mu a lot of face, and after Li Mu found Hayes, Hayes sent a sternly worded official letter to the Colombian government through Secretary of State William Evac, urging the Colombian government to release Ford Benjamin as quickly as possible and to ensure Ford Benjamin's safety.
After this official letter was disclosed by the local media in Bogotá, Hayes almost became a public enemy of Colombia, and Colombians had to worry while angrily denouncing Hays, now this situation is the best, Colombia is not not letting Ford Benjamin go, but Ford Benjamin did not wait for the pardon decree of the Colombian president, which must not blame the Colombian government for not giving Hayes face.
Of course, the Panamanian company also has benefits, on the day of Ford Benjamin's death, the Colombian government lifted the lockdown on the hospital, and that night, Ford Benjamin returned to Panama City by steamer, and it is estimated that for a long time, Ford Benjamin will not be able to preside over the work.
It's only for a while, after learning that Ford Benjamin's injury is not life-threatening, Li Mu didn't even plan to recall Ford Benjamin back to New York, and after Ford Benjamin recovers from his injury, Ford Benjamin will still be the general manager of the Panama company, presumably Ford Benjamin should not make similar mistakes again.
As for whether the Colombian government will be embarrassed by then Who cares, if Ford Benjamin is willing, he just needs to change his name, there is no TV and no Internet these days, and naturally few people know Ford Benjamin, after a while, people will forget about it, even if Ford Benjamin does not change his name, it doesn't matter much, anyway, there are not too many people in the United States who have the same name and surname, and two consecutive Ford Benjamin served as the general manager of the Panama company Of course, as long as Li Mu agrees.
"Look, this is what we have gained in the last half month, a total of 11,000 pieces of gold, 3,500 pieces of jewelry, although these jewels have not been valued, but conservative estimates that these gold and jewels are worth at least 150 million dollars."
Li Mu has been very happy recently, the New York team has won a lot in the Olympic Games, following Yan Hu won the gold medal in the 50-meter rapid fire pistol, the New York team has won eleven championships, six of which are Chinese, and now the first batch of gold and jewelry has been shipped back to New York, Li Mu is ready to cast a batch of pure gold gold medals to send to those champions, as Li Mu's personal reward for them.
After Ford Benjamin's death, the Colombian government seemed to have forgotten about the Guadavia drilling team for a while, and Thomas Steymby and Paul Stewart seized the opportunity to drain the lake and sift through the sediment at the bottom of the lake in an effort to spare no gain.
Compared with Paul Stewart's subordinates, the mercenaries of the Panama Company are more arrogant, and the mercenaries sent by McZhang to Lake Guadavia are actually equipped with light machine guns, which makes Paul Stewart even staggered, not to mention the expedition team that hides in the shadows and wants to eat the dark, they are simply fleeing, because the mercenaries of the Panama Company really dare to shoot, and the mercenaries of the Panama Company are known for their ruthlessness in South America.
Compared with the United States, South America is almost like a place outside the law, the rules of the jungle are vividly expressed, although Paul Stewart's men have also done a lot of dirty work, but the degree of dirtiness is still a little worse than that of the mercenaries of the Panama Company, after all, Paul Stewart's men are all Americans, and the mercenaries sent to Colombia by McZhang are either Colombians or Panamanians, and they are even more ruthless in the face of their own ethnicity.
"What kind of oil do we mine to make guns, just go treasure hunting for our profession, tsk, two or three months, worth 150 million dollars, this is simply the best business in the world."
Rockefeller almost laughed, according to the original agreement between Rockefeller, Li Mu and J Morgan, Li Mu and Rockefeller each accounted for 40 percent of the treasure hunting income, and J Morgan only accounted for 20 percent, that is to say, in the past two or three months, Rockefeller has earned nearly 60 million US dollars through treasure hunting, which is much more than the hard work of oil extraction and refining.
"Go ahead, you go treasure hunting, and sell me Standard Oil."
J Morgan is welcome, if Rockefeller really wants to sell, J Morgan will buy it even if he smashes the pot and sells iron.
This description is appropriate, purely in terms of personal assets, J Morgan's personal assets are not more than Rockefeller's, so if Rockefeller really wants to sell Standard Oil, J Morgan really can't afford it.
In other words, in the current world, there may be Li Mu, and no one can afford it.
Of course, Rockefeller will definitely not sell Standard Oil, at present, there is only one large-scale oil company in the world, so Standard Oil monopolizes almost the world's oil trade, which is much stronger than Li Mu's Junma Group, Li Mu monopolizes the arms business, and can only monopolize the United States, which is a small amount compared with Standard Oil.
"This kind of business, it's just one or two times, we can only play tickets, and then we will honestly extract oil and make guns, this is our old business."
Li Mu is self-aware, the treasure of the underground secret room of the Padmanaba Swamy Temple and the Golden Lake are because of Li Mu's cheating, so the return is so rich, in exchange for other treasure legends, Li Mu will not go to the haystack to find a needle, with that kung fu, Li Mu might as well buy the desert of the Middle East, after a few decades, it is more valuable than any treasure.
Rockefeller is just talking, it is enough to be able to touch luck twice, and Rockefeller does not believe that luck will always be on his side, but J Morgan is very skeptical after listening to Li Mu's words: "What else have you two done once or twice?"
What has been done The treasure of the underground secret room of the Padmanaba Swamy Temple is never dared to admit it, Li Mu and Rockefeller don't want to make trouble for themselves, as long as the news leaks, whether it is Britain or India, they will not give up, this kind of thing is still rotten in their stomachs.
Li Mu and Rockefeller were not entangled in this topic, and the two quickly opened the topic after a haha: "At the regular Senate meeting a few days ago, Senator Neil Felton of Texas proposed an antitrust law, what do you think?"
"Hehe, such a proposal is simply not going to pass."
J Morgan didn't want to laugh at Neil Felton, but Neil Felton's proposal was obviously unwise, the antitrust law was aimed at whoever was Li Mu, one was Rockefeller, and perhaps another was Henry Dupont, Andrew Carnegie and J Morgan were almost meaningless, Li Mu and Rockefeller were two iconic figures in the American economy, what would the American economy be like without the Horse Group and Standard Oil No one dared to imagine.
"It's impossible to pass, but we can't ignore it, Senator of Texas, well, very courageous."
Li Mu knows who the anti-monopoly law is aimed at, although Neil Feldton's proposal was not passed this time, but next time, as long as Neil Felton perseveres, then sooner or later, Li Mu and Rockefeller will stand on the judgment bench as they did in history.
Li Mu didn't know Neil Felton, but Li Mu vaguely knew why Neil Felton made this proposal, after all, the quadrennial presidential election is about to start again, and Texas is the base camp of the Democratic Party, as long as the Republican Party has Li Mu's support, then it seems that the Democratic Party will never have a chance to win, so whether it is Simon Steele's founding of Steele Arms Company last year, or Neil Felton proposed the anti-monopoly law this time, it is all against Li Mu's impulse.
The Democratic Party did not hope to cause much trouble to Li Mu, as long as it could attract Li Mu's attention and prevent Li Mu from running for the Republican Party wholeheartedly.
In fact, there have always been people who are very dissatisfied with the monopoly behavior of the Junma Group and Standard Oil, from the perspective of the American economy, this monopoly behavior is actually not conducive to economic development, large companies and large enterprises are getting richer and more powerful, and there are more and more supporters in Congress, but the national strength has not been significantly enhanced, at least for an industry, a company is dominant, and there are certainly not a few or a dozen companies competing with each other to be healthy.
"It's not easy to deal with him, send someone to find his black material, and then find a random media to release it, Neil Felton is, I guarantee that he won't finish a term."
Rockefeller is also not worried, it is not too simple for big businessmen to deal with politicians, no one's ass is clean these days, black material, there will always be if you look carefully, even if you don't have it, you can make it, Li Mu has raised so many reporters under his hands, there are always some people who are suitable for this kind of thing.
"Neil Felton is ready to be targeted since he has proposed the antitrust law, and I'm sure if you send someone to Texas, you won't find anything."
J Morgan is not as shady as Rockefeller, and normally what J Morgan said is indeed very likely.
If Texas is a Republican-majority state, or even a state with a balance of Republican and Democratic power, it is estimated that Neil Felton does not have the courage to do so, the problem is that Texas has always been a staunch supporter of the Democratic Party, and even in the years when the Civil War was just lost, the Republican Party did not win the election in Texas, so this thing is really difficult to operate.
"Then don't look for it, in recent years, more and more people have opposed monopoly, and now it seems that there is no problem, but we must also be prepared for the company to be spun off, and these people will not stop until they achieve their goal."
Li Mu is actually not very worried about this problem, several years ago, Li Mu has begun to work on the spin-off of the subsidiary of Junma Group, and now it seems that the situation is not bad, but Rockefeller's standard oil is very problematic.
What Li Mu is really worried about is that the anti-monopoly law is just the beginning, according to the trajectory of another time and space, if there is no Li Mu's appearance, there should have been someone who has proposed the Chinese exclusion bill, although during Hayes's tenure, the Chinese exclusion bill has not been passed, but this is a very bad signal, just like the current anti-monopoly law, will this become the beginning of another political turmoil No one is sure, Li Mu doesn't dare, and Li Mu doesn't dare to gamble, so Li Mu is more nervous than Rockefeller and J Morgan on this issue.
"Well, don't be afraid, Standard Oil has now been divided into several companies, Mobil Oil not to mention, the California Oil Company on the West Coast has also been established, and then as long as I want, Standard Oil's branches in each state can become an independent company, Rim, haven't you been doing this" Rockefeller is not a fool, anyway, he is just doing tricks on equity, cross-holding, it is easy to set up a few investment companies in Cuba, as long as he has good relations with the Cuban government, he doesn't even have to pay taxes, That's what Li Mu and J Morgan did.
If it is not specifically mentioned, in fact, the current Junma Arms Company only refers to the arms company in Junma Town, and the Springfield, Colt, and Winchester, which were annexed by the Junma Arms Company a few years ago, are actually still operating as independent arms companies, and their shareholders are not the same, so even if the anti-monopoly law is passed, Li Mu's head cannot be found
