In the field of science and technology, whoever dares to say "great" in front of the Steed Lab, Li Mu dares to draw it with his ears.

The United States is a winner-take-all country. The winner is the king and the loser is the pirate. The right to speak is in the hands of the winner. No one cares about the loser.

Arthur had promised Li Mu very early that when the 100-year independent exhibition was held, the Junma Group had the largest booth, and even if Junma Group was willing, it could build an exhibition hall by itself.

This is not Arthur's private law, but the Steed Group does have this qualification. The Independent Centennial Exhibition will show the world the construction achievements of the United States since the independence of the century. The science and technology exhibition is the top priority, and the Steed Lab is undoubtedly The leader of the US science and technology community. In recent years, almost all important inventions in the United States came from the Steed Lab. Therefore, the Steed Lab is qualified to occupy the largest exhibition hall. No one dares to deny this.

Affected by Steed Labs, MIT's status in the American academic community has risen and increased. Now its reputation is catching up with Harvard and Yale. The Harvard Board of Directors regretted their intestines and wished to frustrate Charles Elliott, who had rejected Li Mu at the beginning. gray.

Li Mu had no vengeance. After knowing that Harvard's board fired Charles Eliot, he invited Charles Eliot to become the president of Grant University.

Grant University will recruit students next spring. It will consist of affiliated departments such as Springfield Institute of Technology, Springfield College of Education, Boston Medical School, New York Law School, New York School of Letters, and New York Business School. Five hundred people. If this goal can be achieved, Grant University will become the largest institution of higher learning in the United States.

Knowing that Grant University is about to enroll, President Grant is very happy, promised to attend the opening ceremony of Grant University, and granted Ebble a grant of US $ 100,000 for Grant University's special education fund.

Do not be too small, this is already a special case in the US education community. The US government has no precedent for funding private schools. Harvard and Yale do not have this qualification. Grant University has set a precedent.

No one dares to make irresponsible remarks about Li Mu's blatant flirting behavior, including those in Congress who are not used to Li Mu because of Li Mu 's “forced death” of Oliver Winchester. If anyone dares to make waves in this matter , Be prepared to face retaliation against Grant and Li Mu at the same time.

On the surface, it seems that Oliver Winchester's death has nothing to do with Li Mu. Oliver Winchester committed suicide. Many people were present. Li Mu was in New York at the time and was not in New Haven at all.

However, Oliver Winchester committed suicide after the court declared Winchester bankruptcy, which put Li Mu and the Steed Group on the stigma of "forcing death" by Oliver Winchester.

In fact, the death of Oliver Winchester was an accident. Li Mu did not expect that Oliver Winchester would commit suicide. If Li Mu could meet Oliver Winchester, he would commit suicide. Shares.

As a senator, Oliver Winchester also has friends in Congress, and now friends of Oliver Winchester believe that Li Mu is the most evil capitalist in the United States, one hundred times more evil than Rockefeller.

In fact, there aren't that many. Li Mu and Rockefeller should be half a catty. Neither of them is a good person. Li Mu never considers himself a good person. The good people in this world will never get good rewards, so Li Mu is willing to be a bad person.

In fact, in Hartford, another person is cursing Li Mu, the actual helm of Mr. Colt.

In the original history, Colt should now launch the double action pistol, and its position in the US military industry has risen sharply since then. Together with the Gatling machine gun, it has become the two pillars of Colt.

The emergence of the Steed Weapon Factory snatched the position that originally belonged to Colt. Li Mu not only produced the double action pistol, but also designed the "python" series revolver that should have appeared only in the 1950s. The "python" that appeared for ten years finally defeated Colt's 1873 military pistol, and has since occupied more than 90% of the US pistol market.

As for the machine gun, this is even more tragic. Li Mu did not entangle with Colt on the revolving machine gun and directly made the general-purpose machine gun with replaceable barrels. This technology was at least 50 years ahead of Colt. Exclusively enjoying this patent for 20 years, that is to say, within 20 years, Colt could not compete with the Steed Weapons Factory in the field of machine guns.

Collapsed the pistol, there was no order for the machine gun, and Colt now relied only on production mines to survive. Even so, Li Mu still did not intend to let Colt go. After reaching an agreement with Krupp, Steed Weapons Company will restructure Winchester. The artillery factory can produce all naval weapons, including mines.

Li Mu's relationship with the US Navy is very good. Alfred Mahan is now the US Navy's Tarzan Beidou. George Dewey is a rising star of the US Navy. There are two people who match. The special hand snatched all Navy orders.

Colt was pushed into the corner by Steed Weapons Company.

Colt's full name is Colt's Patented Firearm Manufacturing Company, which is headquartered in Hartford, Connecticut. Like the Steed Weapons Factory, the Colt factory is also located along the Connecticut River. In order to avoid flooding, Colt built After a 2 mile long embankment, in 1855 the plant was completed and production began.

Colt's former head Samuel Colt was very visionary. When the Colt factory was established, Samuel Colt designed a very strange shape on the top of the Hartford factory building. An onion-shaped dome, and a bronze pony portrait was cast in bronze. Colt itself means a pony.

Such a publicity design caused a sensation at the time. Colt did so to attract the attention of local residents and foreign tourists to the Colt factory. This strategy was a great success. Colt has since been in Hartford. A household name.

The pony that once Mercedes-Benz was the pride of the Hartfords. Every Hartford sees the pony statue and is proud of it. When they introduce the pony to their relatives and friends, Always call it "Dear Colt".

The Colt company really deserves such praise. After the Civil War, for a period of time, the United States once popularized the phrase: Lincoln gave all slaves freedom, and Colt made these slaves equal.

Visible Colt's position at the time.

But only ten years, good times are no longer, Colt has become a yellow flower yesterday, just in mid-October 1874, the head of the Colt company, Mrs. Colt, decided to shut down Colt in Hartford. The factory shifted the family's focus to the UK and fully operated Colt's factory in the UK.

"Mrs. Mr. Glover is here, and he wants to talk to you." The sad-faced steward whispered to Mrs. Colt, who was sitting idly in the hallway watching the pony statue.

"Let him go. I would rather shut down Colt than sell the name Colt to the **** Far East man—" Mrs. Colt refused sternly, with unspeakable hatred in her voice.

Twenty years ago, Samuel Colt opened Colt's subsidiary in the United Kingdom. This incident caused a sensation in the United States because it was the first time in the history of American manufacturing to open a factory in England. Cult became the pride of American manufacturing.

Unexpectedly, in just twenty years, the pride of the time has become a faded photo in memory, and the branch in England has actually become Colt's back road. The facts of the world are wonderful.

Li Mu offended the British in Hawaii, so Junma Group's products could not enter the British market. This gave Colt a respite and competed with Enfield. It was better than competing directly with the Junma Weapons Factory. At least Colt and Enfield All are on the same level, and if Colt can seize this opportunity, it may not be possible to turn over.

"Ma'am, I suggest you think about it. Mr. Glover is willing to buy the Colt factory and related patents for two million dollars. This is the highest price we can get now. With these two million, at least we You can let go in the UK, "advised Wayne Henry, Colt's general manager.

Although Wayne Henry is nominally the general manager of Colt, in fact, Colt is in the hands of Mrs. Colt. Wayne Henry is only a nominal mascot and does not have any real power, so in this case In fact, Wayne Henry has only the right to suggest.

"Two million-really generous, isn't the Colt factory and those patents worth only two million? Do you remember how much Oliver Winchester paid out at that time, that was a full five million dollars, and that It was the price ten years ago. "Madame Colt was furious. Even listening to the price, Mrs. Colt thought she was insulted.

In 1862, Samuel Colt, and two years later, in 1864, Colt suffered a major fire. In the following three years, Colt had been in production except for assembling military products.

Oliver Winchester gave the price of five million US dollars at that time. Of course, this money was not of Oliver Winchester alone. In fact, Colt was worth more than 15 million US dollars at that time, many Everyone wants to take advantage of it.

Thinking of it this way, the Colt fire came a little in time.

"Ma'am, you have to understand that actually Colt's machines and patents are not valuable to Steed Weapons Factory. They have newer machines, better technology. Steed Weapons Factory wants Colt's skilled workers, If it weren't for these workers, the Steed Weapon Factory wouldn't even have given that price. "Wayne Henry said very rudely, tearing off Colt's final concealer.

It's a heroic end.
