Although the capitalists and politicians of the capitalist countries complement each other, in their respective fields, the first thing they need to do is to face their work correctly.
For example, the New York State Government and the New York City Government, no matter how good the relationship with Li Mu is, but on issues involving economic interests, politicians will also consider from their own standpoint, and will not transfer their interests to Li Mu without restrictions, after all, they are also responsible to the Legislature.
Li Mu can also understand the behavior of politicians, you can't take advantage of all the cheap, at least you have to be able to explain to the public, the route planned by the New York State government is not good, and it will definitely increase the cost of building highways, this is not a problem, anyway, Li Mu is not the only one to pay, to share the cost, everyone to share it, Rockefeller, J Morgan, and those securities buyers, no one can run away.
What's more, Li Mu has other means to distribute the cost to others as much as possible, and it is the Junma Construction Company that is in charge of the project, and there are many opportunities to make money, so there is no need to hang himself on a crooked neck tree.
"Okay, what you say is reasonable, I believe Melville can do it, now there is only one last question left, where does the money for road construction come from, we have invested all the working capital in Vladivostok, and now there is not a penny in the account of the group headquarters, we have to go from there, squeeze out the start-up capital for building the highway" Henry agreed with Li Mu's explanation of the previous problem, but there are still problems that have not been solved, and this problem is urgent.
Junma Group is indeed very able to make money, but at the same time can make money, Li Mu himself is also very able to spend money, before for the establishment of the expressway project, Junma Group has taken out a large amount of money as public relations expenses, and now to start the expressway project, Junma Group has not been able to catch it.
"We have no money in our account" Li Mu was surprised, in Li Mu's opinion, Junma Group now has invincible cash flow, not to mention starting a project, it should be no problem to start two or three at the same time.
There is indeed no problem, the problem is that the project started at the same time is not only two or three, but more than a dozen, in San Francisco, the horse group wants to expand the scale of automobile companies and telecommunications companies, in New York, the horse group is also facing similar problems, Li Mu also asked to expand the horse museum, the cultural relics and antiques brought back from Japan last year can not always be placed in the warehouse, and it is a serious thing to put them out for exhibition to make money.
Although Vladivostok had a certain degree of infrastructure during the Russian rule, those infrastructure were far from enough in Li Mu's view, not to mention compared with the city of the 21st century, even compared with the current New York, the infrastructure of Vladivostok can also be described as a disaster.
Since Li Mu believes that Vladivostok is the future of Chinese Americans, Li Mu has very high requirements for the overall urban construction of Vladivostok, including sewer pipes, drainage facilities, parks, green spaces, libraries, opera houses, and even planned railway stations and airports that will be used in the future, all of which require massive financial support.
It is said that if these constructions are placed in a period of several decades, it will not bring too much financial pressure to the Junma Group, even if there is no foreign capital to join, only with the Junma Group, a modern Vladivostok can be built, but Li Mu does not want to wait so long, so Vladivostok is now a large construction site, and various urban infrastructure and cultural facilities are carried out almost simultaneously, which brings a lot of trouble, Li Mu has not paid attention to this problem, because these problems are all in charge of Henry, Now that Henry finally can't hold on, whoever is looking for trouble should be solved.
"Yes, we don't have money now, first of all, the fixed expenditure is constant, we have to take out a part of the money every month to buy land, since the beginning of the spring in March, the group headquarters has allocated 17 million US dollars to the books of the Pacific Company, 3.5 million US dollars to the books of the Japanese government, 25 million US dollars to the accounts of the Vladivostok Prefecture, for which I even used part of the advance of the branch, if there is no more expenses, then our books can be maintained, but if you add the highway, Sorry Reem.
"Henry told the truth, when he encountered a loser like Li Mu, Henry couldn't fill the hole even if he had the ability.
"Okay, no money is a problem" Since getting off the boat in San Francisco, Li Mu never thought that he would run out of money one day, but this is not a big problem, there is no money in the account of the Junma Group Company, and Li Mu's private account still has money, so Li Mu immediately set his sights on Chu Xue.
Chu Xue, as Li Mu's personal housekeeper, is of course also qualified to participate in high-level meetings, but Chu Xue can't do anything on this issue, after coming into contact with Li Mu's gaze, Chu Xue is also helpless: "I'm sorry dear, I don't have any money in my account now, you know I'm responsible for spending money, I just bought some bonds from Piper a few days ago" Ha, this is really a cocoon, no need to ask, the first snow bought, it must be a highway bond, the most sought-after in the market recently is the highway bond, whether it is held for a long time, or resold and resold, it is very valuable, no one wants to miss such an opportunity.
"It's okay, it's just that the project starts, and it doesn't take too much money" Li Mu will definitely not be stumped by the problem of money, for others, it is difficult to move an inch without money, but for Li Mu, Li Mu's words are money.
In fact, for Li Mu, it may be a little difficult to start other projects, but it really doesn't take much money to start the highway project.
First of all, the most expensive labor costs, but the undertaking company for the construction of the highway is Junma Construction Company, so there is no big problem with giving this part of the money early or late; The second is building materials, the most important material for building highways is asphalt, the highway between New York and San Francisco, asphalt is all imported from Trinidad and Tobago, coincidentally the company that provides asphalt to the highway between New York and San Francisco also belongs to Li Mu, so it is no problem to give this part of the money later; Finally, the stones and earthwork needed for the infrastructure part, this part is not a problem, the land within 40 miles on both sides of the highway belongs to Li Mu, so do you still need to pay for some stones or something Of course, Li Mu is not the only investor in the expressway, so the cost in this area can also be shared, but it is Li Mu himself who makes money, and such a good business is not available everywhere.
"Well, if you can postpone the settlement, I don't have a problem here."
Li Mu put all his advantages on the table, and Henry could only push the boat down the river, what else could he do, and then he would find faults.
It is indeed a bit of a fault to find fault, Li Mu still found out that Henry was abnormal, so after the meeting, Li Mu invited Henry to his office to sit, Li Mu can not care about the rest of the Junma Group, but he can't care about Henry.
"Reem, if I tell the truth, I hope you won't mind, I have a sense of urgency now, I don't know why, I always feel like I'm walking on the edge of a cliff, I could fall into the abyss at any moment, I think maybe I'm too tired during this time, I want to rest for a while."
Henry drank some wine and finally said something to Li Mu, which is not surprising, in recent times, there have indeed been a lot of things happening, and Henry has not been involved in it, it is normal to feel tired, around Li Mu, many people will feel tired.
Li Mu is not sure why Henry is tired, but he can vaguely guess that it should be related to James Garfield, unlike Li Mu, Henry is a traditional person who can maintain the progress of the Horse Group, but he can't accept Li Mu's so many deviant behaviors, which is also the reason why Li Mu excludes Henry from all the arrangements related to James Garfield.
It's not just Henry, in fact, many people can't accept Li Mu's behavior of attacking the president, since Li Mu released a lot of confusing news, the rumors in New York have slowly subsided, but the aftermath is still fermenting, some people will get lost in the fog, some people won't, obviously as the person who knows Li Mu best, Henry probably won't be confused by those messages.
"Yes, if you want to rest, you can rest, have a good vacation, with Lisa, where do you want to go to the Bahamas, Hawaii or the Far East, is three months enough" Li Mu is very generous, Li Mu has been running around all these years, often taking a vacation for half a year, but Henry has been working hard in New York, running the entire Horse Group, Mrs.
Henry is now in charge of Springfield Medical School, and she and Henry are also gathering less and leaving more all day long, and the two of them may not be able to meet once a week, Li Mu is also ashamed.
It's really no problem to take a vacation, although the positions of Henry and Lisa are very important, but the Junma Group has now passed the period when it is not running smoothly if it leaves anyone, even if there is no Li Mu, the Junma Group can continue to run with strong inertia, and it will run very well, Henry needless to say, in addition to Henry, the general manager, there are four deputy general managers in charge of different work, if Henry goes on vacation, they can make up for it at any time, and it will not affect the operation of the Junma Group.
This is the cruelty of modern enterprises, the role of the individual is infinitely reduced, rules and regulations are the core of maintaining the operation of the enterprise, even if the Junma Group has no Li Mu, may not be able to have an unparalleled forward-looking in so many new industries, but with the endless new inventions of the Junma laboratory, the Junma Group can still maintain a monopoly position in the existing industry; Don't worry without Henry, according to the current situation of Junma Group, even if Pan is put in the position of general manager of Junma Group, Junma Group will not mess up, and the monthly evaluation system alone is enough to spur all branches and heads of departments to move forward.
Of course, this is not to dilute Henry's role in the Junma Group, in the position of general manager of the Junma Group for so many years, Henry has no credit and hard work, Li Mu must be grateful to Henry for everything that Junma Group has paid, is there no Henry, there would be no Junma Group's rules and regulations, there would be no Junma Group's current order, Li Mu has always admitted that even if Li Mu sits in Henry's position, he may not be able to do better than Henry.
"Reem, it's not a matter of vacation, I haven't taken a vacation for four years in a row, 1460 days, seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day, I'm working, the Horse Group is yours, and at the same time mine, it's my hard work, I hope the Horse Group will always be in good shape, and I've been dedicating everything to the Horse Group but Rim, I can't pretend to be deaf and dumb on some things, I know you're a last resort, you have your reasons but sorry Reem, I want to take a break."
After all, Henry still didn't say anything decisive, which made Li Mu very relieved, Li Mu would rather lose a large amount of money than lose his friendship with Henry.
"I understand, Henry, I understand, go ahead, take a break, relax yourself, and then come back and continue to work, the Horse Group needs you, I need you too, I hope that in ten years, we can return to Lakeside Town together, and then we can go fishing in the Connecticut River together."
Li Mu could only agree to Henry's request, and at this time he did not object, so he could only pin his hopes on Henry's self-regulation, otherwise if he wanted to stay, his friends would not have to do it.
Henry did not go to the Bahamas, nor did he go to Hawaii, but left New York with Lisa for Springfield the next day, which made Li Mu very worried, Li Mu did not let people take Henry's place, it was okay for a short time, but not for a long time, especially since Springfield Medical School had just been established, Lisa was the most suitable dean, and no one could replace it.
"Ha, Henry is gone, take Lisa with him, Lisa will let me be the honorary dean of Springfield Medical School when Lisa is gone, what can I do to teach the students to cut the wound when they use the knife to look better or teach them how to sew a bow when they stitch up the wound" Gloria had a headache, Lisa left, got rid of Gloria to manage Springfield Medical School, in terms of identity, Gloria is enough, but her business ability is obviously not good, Gloria is better at training excellent tailors, than at training doctors.
There is no way to solve this problem, there are a total of two women around Li Mu, and Chu Xue has other jobs, so she can only go up to Gloria.
In fact, Lisa also did it on purpose, unlike Henry, Lisa only cared who the president of the United States died at, after James Garfield's assassination, Lisa also went to Washington, the purpose was to consult James Garfield, but before Lisa arrived, James Garfield died, and Lizabeth ran away.
In fact, even if James Garfield does not die, Lisa has no chance, Lisa can serve as the dean of Springfield Medical College, relying on Li Mu's trust, not medical skills
