Everyone knows the three major professional leagues in North America in the 21st century, and the value generated each year is hundreds of billions of dollars.

Unlike Chinese table tennis, badminton, etc., which are not good at physical contact, most Americans prefer physical confrontation and focus on hot scenes. Whether it 's ice hockey, rugby or basketball, there is no shortage of punches in the most intense games. The scene and even the fight itself was part of the game.

The most interesting thing is ice hockey. If there is a conflict between players on the field, whether it is between opponents or teammates, the referee will not only stop, but will also help pick up clothes to maintain order or something. It is a spectacle on the arena. .

Now only in 1875, there are no three major leagues. Ice hockey has just held the first game in the world. Rugby has just established the world's first association. Basketball has not yet been invented. If Li Mu wants to take the three major North American professions It is a bit cumbersome to get out of the league, but it is not too cumbersome, and it is much easier than developing the Far East market.

Grant valued the entertainment function of the game itself. During the National Rally Washington Race, everyone's attention was focused on the car rally. No one paid attention to these broken things in the Republican Party. By private law, Grant hopes that Washington will have such a game every month, so that Grant's life will be much better.

It's anxious, think what people think. This is the only way to gain favor. Since Grant has this need, of course, Li Mu must do it as much as possible, and it won't cost much.

When the National Auto Rally was held, Li Mu was prepared to lose $ 500,000 for each race.

It turns out that Li Muxiao looked at the spending power of the American people at this time. Although the expenses and budgets of each race were similar, the income greatly exceeded Li Mu's estimates. The sales of tickets and souvenirs only accounted for the revenue of the Organizing Committee. A small part of it, the sponsor's sponsorship costs are rising one by one, and the revenue of the organizing committee has been balanced since the third race.

More income came from behind the scenes operations. The Rockefeller team won the third race, and in order to win the championship, John Rockefeller paid $ 500,000.

The $ 500,000 will not appear on the account book of the organizing committee. It belongs to all eight participating teams. After the third race, the eight participating teams share the money equally.

This result also made all team owners feel satisfied. They don't care how much money the race itself can make. The team is just a big toy for them. What they care about is the promotion effect of the race itself.

As the first large-scale organized professional competition in the United States and the world, the National Auto Rally has attracted wide attention. Not only the American media, but the European media have sent reporting teams to the United States to report the National Auto Rally.

The championship is always the most eye-catching. It only costs 500,000 US dollars to get a championship, which makes all team owners feel value for money.

Of course, the final championship must belong to the Junma Group. There are a total of eight teams, and the Junma Group accounts for four, so the final championship will never fall by.

Having tasted the sweetness of the national auto rally, Li Mu and Rockefeller have already intentionally launched more sports competitions, which is conducive to expanding corporate social influence and creating more consumption growth points, which has many benefits for the enterprise.

"When a company develops to a certain degree, it must bear certain social responsibilities. If wealth is obtained from society, we should learn to give back to society. We should all have a grateful heart." Grant obviously wants to let Li Mu do more. Reflects Grant's pressure.

"Of course, we always have plans in this area ..." Li Mu followed Grant's meaning, and his brain turned quickly.

Sitting in Grant's office, I can see the Washington Monument that has not yet been completed. When Li Mu first came to Washington two years ago, he noticed this obscure and bad project. Two years later, although the Washington Monument has already passed, Resumption of work, but the slow progress of the project is appalling, and it seems that there is not much improvement, similar to what Li Mu saw when he came to Washington two years ago, and the completion is far away.

Li Mu immediately thought about it: "Our Steed Group has been giving back to the society. When the Steed Weapon Factory was first established, although we were weak at the time, we began to repair the water conservancy facilities on the Connecticut River, and it was the same in New York. The Horse Plaza is a gift from the Horse Group to all New Yorkers. Since we have expertise in architecture, we can give the Washington Monument to the Horse Construction Group if Mr. President is willing. I can guarantee that before Christmas, there will be a brand new Washington Monument. "

Doing good things without leaving a name can never be promoted. Comrade Lei Feng has to write in his diary when he does good deeds. Li Mu wants to seize every opportunity to pack the Junma Group into a first-class enterprise with a sense of social responsibility.

"It would be great if you were willing to take over, and I would let Corbin follow up ..." Grant said, his expression suddenly became confused.

Ebble 's full name is Ebble Corbin. Now Ebble is no longer in the Presidency. Due to pressure from the Democratic Party, Ebble was forced to resign from the office of the President 's Office and left the White House sadly a few months ago.

Grant estimates that he is not used to living without Abel, so when things go wrong, he is still used to letting Abel go somewhere.

In this matter, Li Mu was helpless. As Earl's confidant, Ebble was unclean and gave himself to the Democratic Party with such a big handle. No one else can blame him in this end.

Probably because of the sadness, Grant had no interest in chatting, Li Mu chatted a few words, and then left.

Leaving the Presidential Palace and looking back at the white vault, Li Mu could not help but sigh.

I don't know when he will be in the President's Palace next time, nor will he be the owner of the President's Palace. The only thing Li Mu can determine is that he will definitely come here again in the future.

Unlike the slightly deserted Presidential Palace, the Ministry of War is always full of people.

Although cars have appeared and demonstrated good performance, the main means of transportation at this time were still horses.

The square in front of the war department is a large horseshed. Although there are special people responsible for hygiene, hundreds of horses gather together and the smell is still unpleasant.

Most of the people entering and leaving the War Department are soldiers. Don't expect these people to be gentlemanly. Although not inconsistent with each other, loud voices and vulgar slang can be heard everywhere.

Li Mu still has a militia status, which is considered half a soldier. Of course, this scene is accustomed to him. Even for Will, Li Mu prefers this atmosphere.

At least dealing with these soldiers does not require too much brainpower. Strength is the best proof of identity. Naturally, a fist has a right to speak.

Sherman's expression was still gloomy. After the failure of Montana, it seemed that Sherman's hairline had shrunk back a little bit. With cold eyes, it seemed that he became the secretary of war and did not let Sherman How happy.

"Hi William, it looks like you don't seem to welcome me very much." In front of Sherman, Li Mu didn't have to be careful.

This is a question of seniority. When Li Mu first met Sherman, Sherman was just an ordinary general, worried about the Indians of Montana.

If Sherman calms down Montana, Li Mu may give Sherman more respect, but unfortunately this is obviously not the case. Without Will and George Dewey, it is estimated that Sherman's famous name will be It will be ruined once, so even if Sherman became the war minister, Li Mu did not take Sherman seriously.

Speaking of Li Mu's status, with Li Mu's net worth, few people really deserve Li Mu's business.

This is the United States. The rich have never been fat pigs, but a real threat.

"Damn arms dealers, wherever you appear, there can be no peace. Do you still expect others to welcome you?" Sherman was not very polite to Li Mu.

Soldiers and businessmen can't beat each other. Politicians need votes in the hands of entrepreneurs. Soldiers don't need them. For example, in the case of Sherman's inauguration of the war minister, Li Mu could not help. Sherman needed only Grant. Trust.

"You're still not so flattering, I can't imagine how Mr. President could stand you." Li Mu teased in the tone of an old friend. Although the words were not very pleasant, they were not offensive.

"I don't need to be liked, I just need to be scared." Sherman smiled a little cruelly.

Sherman is famous for his tough attitude. His heart is as cold as a rock, and he is one of the rare strong-willed people. Otherwise, during the Civil War, he would not have left the civilian population. They ordered the Northern Army to burn Atlanta.

"Looking at someone like you as the Minister of War, I don't know if it is good or bad." Li Mu shook his head and sighed, sitting in a chair with a relaxed attitude, just like sitting in his own living room.

"Come less, what are you doing to me? If you have something to talk about, please come back." Sherman knew that Li Mu must have come to him to find him. The relationship between soldiers and arms dealers was the same as wolf and jackal.

"Of course there is something. As the best partner of the Ministry of War, Junma Weapons Company has a gift for you as a congratulations on becoming the Minister of War." Li Mu laughed Yan Yan, took out a copy from his briefcase The papers were handed to Sherman.

"What is it?" Sherman didn't answer, and his eyes were very alert.

Sherman's predecessor, Bernard, fell on corruption. Sherman just took office, and didn't want to fall so soon.

"75mm infantry rapid-fire gun ..." Li Mu stepped forward, spread the documents on the table in front of Sherman, and pointed at the photo of the 75mm infantry rapid-fire gun. "Look, this is specially developed for the US Army. Its weight is very light. Only two horses or six artillery soldiers can drag it around. At the same time, the power of the artillery is strong. The ability shown in the test is not inferior to any artillery of the same caliber. The key is Its rate of fire, can you imagine that on the battlefield, a 75mm infantry rapid-fire gun is enough to suppress an artillery squadron of the opponent, think about it, if our army is equipped with this artillery, we can defeat any enemy ... "

As an arms dealer, Li Mu must be loyal to his profession and impress Sherman with tangible products.

If this is not the case, if Li Mu tells Sherman the Far East as soon as he enters the door, it is estimated that Sherman will drop off the passengers immediately.

"Rim, I think I understand what you mean. Do you want to get an order from me? No problem, how much do you want?" Sherman will not refuse Li Mu's sales, nor can he refuse. In the United States, Sherman had no choice.

This is the benefit of monopoly. As long as Sherman doesn't want to cooperate with those small workshops, so that the American soldiers will be on the battlefield with their clothes on their backs, then even if Sherman doesn't like Li Mu anymore, he will hold his nose to cooperate with the Steed Weapons Company.

"Of course, the more, the better. You know, it is not easy to develop a new weapon. We could n't produce artillery in the country before, but after our efforts, this has become a reality. So I think the military should work hard for us. Support. "Li Mu did not exaggerate the fact that the New Haven factory did fill the gap in the US in artillery production.

"As much as possible? Hehe, sorry, do you think a 20,000-man army needs a lot of artillery to be appropriate?" Shermanpi didn't smile, the sarcasm on his face was obvious.

In the tragic reminder of 1875, the entire new army of the United States Army added up to just 20,000 people. The 20,000 people must not be all artillery. In fact, even if the 20,000 people are all artillery, they cannot satisfy Li Mu's. appetite.

"What does it matter if you have a small number of people? The key is the actual need. You have to understand the fact that if you ca n't get enough harvest, then as a weapon manufacturer, I will lose the motivation to develop new weapons. At that time, you ca n't buy it if you want to buy it with your money. ”Li Mu did n't alarm. In fact, if he could n't get enough orders from the Ministry of War, Li Mu would not develop a larger-caliber artillery. .

Of course, if other countries are willing to pay for the research and development of weapons, then Li Mu does not mind continuing the development. War is the theme of humanity, so Li Mu does not worry that weapons cannot be bought, there will always be people who need them.

"Hum, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. If I give you enough orders, then in order to meet the inquiries of Congress, we must expand the size of the army. Once this step is reached, I am afraid the next step is war." Although Sherman looks a bit ugly, he is not stupid.

"You're right, don't you think we need a war now?" Li Mu didn't hide his true thoughts, how good it is to fight, isn't it that tens of thousands of employees of Junma Weapons Company will be hungry ...
