181 Invitation from the President

For Samuel, Springfield was already a sad place, dragged by someone on a horse and then pissed his pants in a scared police station. This would probably become a memory that Samuel would never forget for life.

As for serving Li Mu, this is not unacceptable.

Li Mu has always been generous to his own people. After receiving Samuel's promise, Li Mu returned the carriage, house and other essential daily necessities to Samuel. Forget the cash, Li Mu will use this money to prepare for the New York headquarters of Time magazine.

Li Mu paid Samuel $300 a month. This money is absolutely high in Springfield, but it is not high in New York, especially for someone like Samuel who already has a considerable position in the American press, this money can only be considered barely enough.

Of course, in order to mobilize Samuel's enthusiasm, Li Mu promised that if Samuel's work well in the future, Li Mu would give Samuel a portion of the shares to motivate Samuel to work hard.

Li Mu was not afraid that Samuel would not work hard. Sammy Lakin did not reveal his identity. Li Mu continued to arrange Sammy Lakin by Samuel's side and ordered Sammy Lakin to monitor Samuel. If Samuel found out that Samuel had any bad actions, Li Mu would promote Sammy Lakin to replace Samuel.

With such a double guarantee, Li Mu believes that Samuel will not serve Times wholeheartedly, at least not hindering his abilities. Even if Samuel only paid half of his work during the Springfield Republican period, it would be enough for Times now.

It was already March to get Samuel done.

After March, Li Mu's work is getting busier and busier, negotiations with Cubans are going to be carried out, and an authorization contract with the American Gunpowder Industry Association is about to open. Carnegie's factory is about to open. Li Mu is invited to attend the opening ceremony, and Kuobin Reservoir is going to start. Research on the factory has reached a critical moment and cannot be separated from people. Research on the MIT has also reached a critical moment and requires additional funds. Eibel heard from Washington that the shipping company is already in sight, so he asked Li Mu to go to Washington to discuss in detail.

It's really a lack of clones.

This also highlights the talent problem, because Li Mu has no talent to stand alone, so he has to do it himself.

It cannot be said that there is no talent. For example, Samuel, this guy is just a talent who can stand on his own. Unfortunately, Li Mu dare not use it. Putting him in New York to host Time magazine is already the greatest trust of Li Mu at present.

Of course, there is still a chance to be lazy. Will is Li Mu's partner, and Henry is Li Mu's personal lawyer. Although both of them have certain shortcomings, there is no general in Shu, so Liao Hua can only be the pioneer. So Li Mu asked Will to go to Pittsburgh to attend the opening ceremony of Carnegie, and then set a bottom line for Henry, and let Henry be responsible for negotiations with the Cubans. He went to Washington to discuss the shipping company with Ebel.

As for MIT, it’s enough to give money, but it doesn’t matter whether Li Mu goes or not.

In Washington in March, the temperature is no longer so cold. Although it cannot be called March, it is no longer ice and snow. After enduring the cold weather for half a year, Li Mu was finally able to get rid of the heavy winter clothes, which made Li Mu feel happy from the bottom of his heart.

Like the last time, someone came to pick up the station, but this time Li Mu didn't have to endure someone's pursuit because the person who came to pick up the station was D.C. Sheriff Kenny Sam.

During the time when Li Mu was operating lottery in Washington, Kenny was one of Li Mu's subordinates and he worked happily with Li Mu, so the two of them talked and laughed as soon as they met, as if they were back to the wonderful time when they had a black pit together a few months ago.

"A few days ago, when I was drinking with Green, I talked about you. I don't know when you will come to Washington again. Then we can have a good drink - Oh, Green is now going to the Treasury Department and serves as the director of the Audit Division. This is a good position - Tony went to New York and bought lottery tickets in New York. I heard that he earned more than a year now than me. They have a good place to go, but I am the worst. I still stayed in Washington as my sheriff-" Kenny said miserably, but there was no sad expression on his face.

"Let's get it soon. I don't know how many people want to be your position. If you want to go out, it's not a matter of minutes." Li Mu didn't want to pity Kenny. This guy was just a cheap guy and was still obedient.

After selling the lottery tickets for a few days, several people have their own gains, and they are all considered high. Although Kenny didn't say it, Li Mu could also see that Kenny had an extra star on his collar.

Well, after spending time with the police for a long time, Li Mu can now see various police rank signs. When the lottery was sold, Kenny was still the sheriff, and now his police rank is the same as Will, he seems to have been promoted.

"Hahahaha-I want to fight for the peace of the people of Washington for the rest of my life." Kenny does have the potential to be an official. Judging from the high-profile singing of others, Li Mu will definitely not be able to sing it.

When he saw Eibul, Eibul treated Li Mu more intimately. As soon as he met, he gave Li Mu a big bear hug, which made Kenny next to him look straight.

Before this, Kenny had already determined that Li Mu was an important figure. It is estimated that after this hug, Kenny would raise the importance of Li Mu.

"Come on, Reim, I remember the last time you said you wanted to visit the Presidential Palace, and now the opportunity is here." Eble gave Li Mu enough face, and this opportunity is unusual.

The Presidential Palace is not open these days, and it is impossible to spend money to experience the president's life. Unless you are invited, no one will think about entering.

"Are Mr. President not here?" Li Mu was still a little curious. Not to mention the Presidential Palace these days, even Li Mu of the future White House has never been here.

"Here, but what does that matter? You are not silent now. What you did in Springfield is now well known." Eble gave Li Mu a thumbs up, obviously satisfied with Li Mu's process of pulling down Amys.

You should be satisfied that Amys's existence is a time bomb for many people, especially Amys's account book. If it is really made public, it will be a bombshell for American politics and will seriously affect the credibility of the US government. Therefore, many people in Washington should thank Li Mu now.

"That's just what I should do. Everyone has the responsibility to fight corruption and promote integrity-" Li Mu will also sing high-profile now. Anyway, there is no cost, as long as he is thick-skinned.

"Hahahaha-then the first one should rebel against you-" Eble did not give Li Mu face.

"It's really too much. Is this the image in your eyes?" Li Mu was full of resentment. Such a dispute would not affect the relationship between Li Mu and Ebul.

Some things are destined to be destined. Just as I walked into the Presidential Palace, I walked around two corridors, and before I could reach Ebel's office, Li Mu met Grant head-on.

It must be said that although Li Mu has never seen Grant, he has admired him for a long time. This is not because Grant is the president of the United States. To be honest, Grant's presidential career is not good and has no highlights. On the contrary, because of his poor reputation for indulging in corruption, Li Mu admires Grant because of his achievements as a commander during the Civil War. If Grant did not serve as president, but passed away as a soldier, then Grant will occupy an important position in American history, rather than being criticized for his poor political achievements.

Grant has a thick beard. Although it is not as unique as Burnside's beard, it is much larger than Burnside. It has a dense beard from the nose, and there is almost no mouth to see. In addition, Grant also has a strange hairstyle. If the hair color and the foil on both sides are ignored, the hairstyle looks a bit like Moshikan. Although it is impossible to see what Grant looks like because of the dense beard. In fact, this guy is a handsome guy. If Grant shaves his beard, it looks a bit like Jason Statham, the action star in Li Mu's impression.

"Uh, Hello, Mr. President-" Eble did not expect to meet Grant here.

"Hello Eble--" Grant seemed to have something to do, so he said hello and walked by quickly.

Just as he passed by, Grant stopped and looked at Li Mu with a question: "Who is this?"

As a Chinese, Li Mu is still conspicuous enough in the presidential palace full of white people.

"Oh, this is Reim from Springfield-" Eble's expression was a little bitter.

"Reim-I remembered it." Grant seemed to be very interested in Li Mu, but frowned and thought for a while. Grant gave up talking to Li Mu now: "Reim, welcome you to the Presidential Palace. I hope to have dinner with you later. Then we can talk. I am very interested in your story."

Tsk, this is an invitation from the president, Li Mu could not refuse: "That is my honor-"

Looking at Grant's distant figure, Eble was stunned for a while before he came to his senses: "I have to say, you always surprise me - come with me, I want to do a quick training for you so that you won't have any problems. Oh my God, I thought about arranging you to meet with Mr. President, but I never thought it would be so fast-"

Ebel was indeed a little worried. After Burnside returned to Washington, he reported to Grant about what happened in Springfield. During this period, Li Mu was in the limelight and had already registered a number at Grant, so Grant invited Li Mu to dinner just now.

What Ebul felt a headache was that Ebul and Amis's Mobilear Credit Company were deeply involved. Ebul finally took out himself. If Li Mu missed it when Grant asked about it, it would really make Ebul cry without tears.

That's right, the people around Grant are indeed not very honest, and even Grant himself has some problems, but this does not affect Grant himself's opposition to corruption.

It's a very contradictory description, but this is reality.
