Friends and business, the relationship between the two is a bit complicated.

Some people think that doing business is making friends, and buying and selling is not a good thing. Similarly, some people think that business is business, friends are friends, and brothers have to settle accounts.

Li Mu believes that the two are not in conflict. Doing business and making friends can complement each other. The relationship established by using friends as a link is obviously stronger than money. However, when you do business between friends, you must also clear the accounts with your brothers. To come for a long time.

Of course, this kind of relationship is limited to the cooperation mode, and there is no competitive relationship with each other. If they are competitors, then settle each other's fate. The business field is still the king and the thugs.

Li Mu had previously decided not to get involved in the gunpowder industry for the time being. This did not compete with the American Gunpowder Association led by DuPont, so Henry could be friends with Will.

Negotiations with the American Gunpowder Association went smoothly. Only within half an hour, Henry and Will reached a preliminary intention. Steed Weapons will authorize the American Gunpowder Association to produce smokeless gunpowder. The American Gunpowder Association For each pound of smokeless gunpowder produced, one cent of royalties will be paid to Steed Weapons Company.

One pound and one cent sounds a little small, but if all the black powder and yellow powder in the United States were replaced with smokeless powder, Junma Weapons Company would get a patent fee of $ 100,000 a year.

One hundred thousand dollars is still a little small compared to the true value of smokeless gunpowder patents, but the significance of the cooperation between Junma Weapons Company and the American Gunpowder Association is not in money, but in the binding of the interests of both parties. With this cooperation, Li Mu When you need it, you can ask the American Gunpowder Association to help. This is what Li Mu values most.

Speaking of the American Gunpowder Association, this is the second trust enterprise group in the United States. The American Gunpowder Association controls all gunpowder production and sales in the United States. Almost all gunpowder companies in the United States are subject to the quota of the American Gunpowder Association. The industry association determines the production quantity, sales area, sales price, etc. of gunpowder companies in the United States.

The gunpowder factory affiliated to Chuntian Arsenal is also a member of the American Gunpowder Association. Unlike the DuPont family, the DuPont family focuses on the production of gunpowder. The gunpowder factory affiliated to Chuntian Arsenal is a subsidiary factory of the Bullet Factory of Chuntian Arsenal. The gunpowder produced is only For the loading of bullets, although the Springfield Arsenal is the boss of the US military industry, the gunpowder factory under the Springfield Arsenal has no status in the American Powder Association.

Of course, in order to prevent the U.S. gunpowder association from leaving smokeless gunpowder unused, Will and Henry have agreed that the U.S. Gunpowder Association guarantees that Junma Weapons Company will receive at least US $ 50,000 in royalties each year, regardless of whether the U.S. gunpowder plant produces smokeless fireworks. Medicine, the American Gunpowder Association will pay the money.

At the same time, because Burnside has acted as a middleman in this cooperation, after the signing of this agreement, according to the agreement between Li Mu and Burnside, no matter how much the American Gunpowder Association paid to Steed Weapons Company, Enside will receive a 20% share.

This money was not paid by Steed Weapons Company, but paid by Li Mu personally.

After Li Mu handed over the patent for smokeless powder to Junma Weapon Company, the share quota of Junma Weapon Company changed, Li Mu's share in Junma Weapon Company rose to 74.5 percent, and Will accounted for 20 percent Fourth, Bresta occupies 1.5 percent.

Consolidating the proceeds of the smokeless powder patent into the accounts of the Steed Weapons Company was a proposal by Li Mu's personal lawyer Henry to Li Mu for tax avoidance.

In fact, there are so many types of taxes in the United States. Take personal income tax, for example, after Li Mu has paid the part that belongs to the federal government, he must also pay the part that belongs to Massachusetts, and then the part that belongs to the Springfield city government. Almost half of Li Mu's income has to be taken out to pay taxes.

After being merged into Junma Weapons Company, Li Mu only needs to bear corporate income tax. At the same time, if Li Mu can prove that the money he earns has not been entered into the private account, but is used to expand reproduction, then Li Mu can pay even a penny of tax.

This is a legal tax avoidance, not a tax evasion.

Of course, there are also hidden dangers in this way, mainly reflected in consumption. In order to avoid taxation to a greater extent, many American merchants bundle private expenditures with the factory accounts. In this way, the factory owners have almost no private property, their real estate, transportation Tools, and even personal clothing, are all factory property. Of course, this can avoid taxation to the greatest extent. However, if there is a problem in the factory, the owner of the factory will almost inevitably go bankrupt, and there is no chance of a comeback.

Li Mu is not afraid of bankruptcy because Li Mu also has a Steed Investment Company. Steed Weapon Company is only a part of Steed Investment Company's assets. Even if Steed Weapon Company fails, it will not affect Steed Investment Company.

The agreement reached between Will and General Henry was only an intent. More details of the negotiations needed to be completed by professional negotiators, so after reaching the intent, General Henry immediately left Springfield and returned to Wilmington, Delaware. The next negotiation work.

Li Mu, Will, and Burnside went to Springfield train station to see off General Henry.

Looking at the train far away, Li Mu was finally relieved. As long as he could get online with the American Gunpowder Association, even if he didn't make a penny, Li Mu was willing.

The American Gunpowder Association is a trust that can influence the US federal government. Cooperation with such organizations can maximize Li Mu's influence and do no harm to the current Li Mu.

Leaving the gate of the train station, Li Mu asked Will and Burnside to get in the carriage. He got into the carriage with the gunners led by Wuyao and Ford Benjamin. Li Mu needed to calm down and think about the next step. How to go.

Establishing ties with the American Gunpowder Association, followed by the Republic of Cuba, Li Mu has little choice on this issue. Whether it is the request of the United States government or the Chinese ethnic Chinese who are fighting hard in Cuba, it has prompted Li Mu to help the Republic of Cuba.

Of course, Li Mu will not be cheaper for Cubans. It is Li Mu's consideration to get benefits from Cubans as much as possible. Actually, money and minerals are of little value. Li Mu does not want to be a mine owner. It is best to be in Cuba. Enclosing a site to allow the Chinese of Cuba to thrive in peace and stability is the goal that Li Mu should pursue.

Thinking of the map of Cuba studied in the past two days, Li Mu really has one goal, which is Cuba's youth island.

Youth Island is not called Youth Island, but Pine Island.

Pine Island is the second largest island in Cuba, covering an area of 2419 square kilometers. It is named after the island is full of pine trees. It is legendary that the Pirates of the Caribbean store gold and silver treasures.

This year, Pine Island is deserted and uninhabited. There is no permanent population on the island. There are only a few prisons. It is a "place of exile" for Spanish colonists and Cubans. The island has not yet developed tourism resources. It seems to have no value. Maybe Li Mu didn't have to go through the Republic of Cuba, and he could buy Pine Island directly from the Spanish.

Buy it!

Problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

Li Mugang thought of this, and suddenly found that the team stopped.

"Rim, something is wrong--" Ford Benjamin looked hesitantly in the street in front of him, with confusion and fright in his expression.

"What's wrong?" Li Mu didn't feel anything unusual.

There is no abnormality. Although there are no people on the street, considering that it is still winter and the outdoor is extremely cold, this is understandable. After all, ordinary people's warmth measures are not good these years. There are no furs and no down jackets to prevent frostbite in winter. The best way is not to go out, so Springfield in Noida is almost like a ghost town in winter, and few people can be seen on the street.

There are no abnormalities in the houses near the streets. The doors and windows of every house are closed, and no one can be seen peeping behind the doors and windows. There is black smoke rising from the chimney on the roof. The residents on both sides of the road are using fireplaces to heat them. This is normal in Springfield.

"I don't know, but I don't feel good, it's like-like a storm is coming, I've experienced it once before, when we were ambushed by the Yankees-" Ford Benjamin was already checking the pistol.

"Can you return?" Li Mu chose to believe Ford Benjamin's sixth sense.

Things like the sixth sense are unclear, just like superpowers. Li Mu can accept such things, even more convinced by the sixth sense.

What is doubtful? If it is wrong, it is just a matter of delaying a bit of effort, but if it is correct, it is the team that saved Li Mu.

"Difficult to say, dismount first, find a house to hide in, and let's go when we have confirmed the safety—" Ford Benjamin was decisive.

"Dismount, dismount-" Li Mu immediately rolled off Wu's back.

At this moment, the ground on the street in front burst suddenly, the sound was deafening, the earth and rocks were radiant, and the sound was amazing.

"Enemys—" Ford Benjamin did not hesitate to roll the saddle without forgetting to warn.

The display was late, and the sound of gunfire had sounded like a firecracker.

As soon as the gunfire sounded, Li Mu saw the two gunmen in the front of the team planted immediately and fell motionless. William in front of Li Mu was also hit. Mason fought back with a gun and dragged William to the street with one hand. The dwellings next to him evaded, and William, shot in the chest, looked embarrassed. Even if he fell down and was dragged away, William tried to fight back, although he could not see the shadow of the enemy.

"Quick, Will, Burnside, come down—" Li Mu didn't forget to save people first, and rushed towards the carriage as soon as he got off the horse.

Obviously Li Mu was the target of the ambush. For a moment, Li Mu could almost hear the sound of bullets passing by his ears. It was just a stroke of God's effort. Li Mu felt that his shoulders were being pushed hard, and he caught a sudden fall. On the ground.

Is it still a special shot?
