According to the agreement between Li Mu and the Springfield government, in March, the Kuobin Reservoir will start as scheduled.

After the fall of Amis, the Springfield government no longer set any obstacles to Steed Investment Company, not only added the budget of Kuobin Reservoir again, but also made up the part deducted from the previous appropriation, so Li Mu now has ample cash in his hands. Very much, the advances from the Springfield City Council alone amounted to $ 5 million.

Just after Li Mu went to Washington this time, Li Mu also received a special fund of three million US dollars from Grant. Of course, unfortunately, these three million were "flooded" by 30% according to the rules. .

That 's already a lot. Even if you deduct the normal float, deduct the investment of the shipping company, deduct the startup fund of the Kuobin Reservoir project, and deduct additional research funding to MIT, Li Mu now has More than $ 4.5 million.

This 4.5 million US dollars is where Li Mu's support for the "Republic of Cuba" lies.

For an enterprise, 4.5 million is indeed a lot, enough to build a first-class large enterprise at this time, but for a country, this money is a sloppy salary.

So Li Mu still has to open source.

"If you open source, you might be able to issue national debt-" As Li Mu's number one think tank, Henry gave his opinion.

"National debt? In the name of the U.S. government? I'm afraid Washington will not allow it." Li Mu had no hope. Grant had decided to use Li Mu as a "scapegoat" and made it clear that the United States government should be kept out of the matter. It is likely that the US government will be blamed.

No, it is never possible.

"Not in the name of the US government, but in the name of the Republic of Cuba, or-in your name." Henry was ingenious.

"Mine? Issuing national debt in my name? You are not mistaken!" Li Mu was even more hopeless. It is estimated that no one would buy such a "national debt".

"We are helping the Republic of Cuba. Of course, we need to issue bonds in the name of the Republic of Cuba. In fact, everyone knows that Cuba has rich mineral resources. If the Spaniards can be driven away, then the Republic of Cuba must be able to repay-as for You, Riem, half of the mineral resources in the Republic of Cuba are yours. "Henry went around in a big circle and handed a folder to Li Mu.

This is a memorandum between the negotiations between Henry and the Republic of Cuba.

It seems that the Republic of Cuba has indeed reached a critical point, so Li Mu's support is needed now. In fact, the Special Envoy of Seth Peddes has been staying in Springfield, waiting to start negotiations with Li Mu. Li Mu allowed Henry to go to Washington before going to Washington. Negotiations with Cubans began in just a few days.

Henry, the "broken nobleman", is indeed capable. Li Mu's bottom line to Henry is Youth Island and Guantanamo Bay. Henry does not humiliate his mission. Not only has Youth Island and Guantanamo Bay been smoothly included in the pocket, but he has also saved nearly half of Cuba's mineral resources. It seems that Li Mu's requirements for Henry are a little low.

Of course, all this is not free. In order to ensure his own interests, Li Mu must support the Cubans to drive away the Spaniards, and the monthly support to the Cuban Republic must not be less than 200,000 US dollars.

It seems that Li Mu is taking advantage. In fact, if the Cubans fail, all of Li Mu's investments will be lost, so this is a standard venture investment. The risks are great, and of course the returns are also great.

"That is to say, if I use these conditions as collateral now, then I am also eligible to issue national debts-" Li Mu is also a smart person, a little bit clear.

"No, no, you don't, Rime, but you are eligible to issue national debt on behalf of the Republic of Cuba." Henry corrected the gap in Li Mu's speech.

"Well, anyway, if I have this qualification, how should I issue national debt?" Li Mu finally asked for the idea.

"John Pierpont Morgan." Henry said a familiar name to Li Mu.

John Pierpont Morgan, a representative of the Morgan family, is also the current head of the Morgan family.

Regarding the history of the Morgan family, this need not be emphasized. At least everyone in the 21st century has heard about it. Even if they do not know the history of the Morgan family, at least they have heard about it.

Of course, Li Mu also knows the name of John Pierpont Morgan. In fact, the company that Li Mu worked for in his life had some connection with Morgan.

"John Pierpont Morgan-" Li Mu racked his brains, trying to find memories of John Pierpont Morgan.

"J.P. Morgan's father, J.P. Morgan, has a financial company in London that underwrites 250 million francs of French national debt, which is equivalent to about 50 million US dollars. So, J.P. Morgan asked Morgan to sell half of the national debt in the United States. It must be said that Morgan is a smart guy, and Morgan did not have the money to buy so many national debt. Before coming back, Morgan came to me and wanted to let Steed Investment Company join the Morgan Consortium to buy a portion of French national debt. "Henry introduced Li Mu's background to John Pierpont Morgan.

Li Mu's Steed Investment Company is actually a financial company. Stock speculation and buying treasury bonds are the normal operating items of the financial company at this time, but Li Mu does not understand stocks, so Li Mu restricts Steed Investment's business projects to the physical sector.

Syndicate, the original meaning of the word refers to the guild in the enterprise. When applied to the organizational form of the company, it is a structural way of monopolizing the enterprise. The enterprises participating in the syndicate still maintain their independence in production and law, but The commercial independence was lost, the sales of commodities and the purchase of raw materials were handled by the Syndicate head office, and there was competition among all the enterprises for sales shares.

In this sense, the National Powder Association also belongs to the syndicate.

"Junma Investment Company will not join any consortium, because Junma Investment Company itself will be a consortium in the future." Li Mu first set the tone before considering the possibility of buying government bonds: "But buying French government bonds is not a problem, we can buy French national debt, but at the same time, the Morgan Consortium will also help us sell a corresponding amount of Cuban national debt. "

Li Mu 's trick is to blame others. Compared with the national debt of the Cuban Republic, French national debt obviously has a more stable return on investment. Although Li Mu is uncertain about the future of the Cuban Republic, at least Li Mu knows that until the 21st century, France exists.

In this way, if Li Mu purchases a certain amount of French national debt and then issues an equal amount of Cuban national debt, this is equivalent to Li Mu passing the risk of Cuban national debt to those who buy national debt, and Li Mu is smoothly from the big vortex of the Republic of Cuba Get away.

Nor can we say escape, but at least regardless of the future of the Cuban Republic, Li Mu 's investment will not be lost, because at that time Li Mu is holding the money raised from the financial market in support of the Cuban Republic. Spaniards, then Li Mu will make big money, even if the Cuban Republic fails, Li Mu will not lose money.

Really good abacus.

Henry obviously thought so too, so after Li Mugang finished speaking, Henry made a record with a smile on his face: "Okay, I will contact the Morgan Consortium as soon as possible. The question now is-how much do we want to buy?"

"Oh, whatever you want, you can tell Morgan that if he can sell Cuban national debt smoothly, even if we eat all the French national debt, it is not impossible." Li Mu has a big appetite.

"But we don't have that much money." Henry was very clear about Li Mu's financial situation. Although Junma Investment Company had a lot of money, it was obvious that he had to swallow 25 million US dollars of national debt in one go. A funding gap of around $ 20 million.

"As long as we can sell Cuban government bonds, then we have money." Li Mu's idea was to use white gloves with an empty glove, and he left his right hand and bought the French government bonds with Cuban government bonds. This business is very cost-effective.

"But Morgan's--" Henry was not very optimistic. In Henry's view, if anyone bought such a government bond, it would only mean that people were stupid and rich.

"Don't worry, arrange for me to meet with Morgan and I will convince him." Li Mu was confident.

Grant asked Li Mu to back up the US government. He must not give Li Mu any benefit. So Li Mu now has the US government as his backer, and he is very confident.

"Well, I'll arrange it as soon as possible." Henry chose to trust Li Mu and was ready to go to the telegraph soon.

"Also, help me find a few professional managers." Li Mu stopped the Henry who wanted to leave.

"Professional manager-in what way?" Henry continued to record without looking up, the disappointment in his eyes was fleeting.

"For the operation and management of the factory, we also need a reliable team of lawyers." Li Mu decided to adjust the management of Junma Weapons Company and Junma Investment Company.

"Lawyer—" Henry stopped and looked up at Li Mu's eyes with shock and expectation.

"You are getting more and more busy now. It 's not appropriate to continue to be my personal lawyer. You ca n't be too busy. Nowadays, Steed Investment has more and more investment projects. Carnegie, Broadshore Reservoir, and MIT. The laboratory co-built by the college, now with national debt, and an electric company will soon be formed. These projects need to be managed by a team, and each project requires a team, so if you have no opinion, I confess you to be a horse investment company General Manager, during my time in Cuba, you are responsible for the steed investment company. Your main task is to form a team, find the right people, put them in the right position, and find a professional manager. It 's best to have experience in managing arsenals. I'm going to assign Zhang a deputy— "Li Mu has a lot of requirements. So many projects, relying on Li Mu and Henry, are really too busy.

"Okay-okay-" Henry's notes were flying fast, a little hazy before him.
