Noguchiya's purpose was very clear. He wanted Li Mu to set up a factory in Japan to produce smokeless gunpowder, and he did not want Li Mu to set up a smokeless gunpowder factory in the Qing Empire.

Li Mu was speechless. Not long after the contract with Cheng Gengchi was signed, the people who were going to send to the Far East had not yet boarded the ship. The Japanese had already inquired about the cooperation between Li Mu and Cheng Gengchi clearly. They really didn't know how the governors of the Qing Empire carried out confidentiality work.

Regarding this, it is not Li Mu's in the Qing Dynasty. "I am the Qing Dynasty" had a less awareness of intelligence than Chang Kaishen. Chang Kaishen was unable to guard against it, so everyone in the world was not familiar with the Communist Party, and "I am the Qing Dynasty" was not at all guard against it and had no sense of confidentiality at all.

This was particularly evident in the later Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-1895-

From Li Mu's standpoint, no matter how inclined Li Mu to Chinese, Li Mu has to support him in front of Benjamin, so Li Mu has a clear attitude: "It is okay to set up a factory in Japan, what benefits do you give me?"

That’s right, if you have any benefits, you have to say it out loud. You must talk to others.

"Mr. Reim, if you agree to set up the factory in Japan, we can sign a procurement contract with your Junma Group. Please rest assured that it is definitely greater than the one you and Cheng Gengchi signed—" Noguchiya's conditions were not expected by Li Mu. In fact, it means the same as Cheng Gengchi, purchasing weapons from Junma Weapons Company, and then opening a smokeless gunpowder factory in Japan to produce smokeless gunpowder on site for supplying the Japanese army.

"What are the benefits of this to me? Japan is a country with scarce resources. You do not have raw materials for producing smokeless powder in your country. If you set up a factory in Japan, I will first purchase the raw materials and transport them to Japan, then complete the processing in Japan, and finally buy the people in need. After this entry and exit, the Japanese government's tariffs will probably increase a lot, and it can also provide you with a large number of jobs, but with it the increase in costs, which will harm my interests." Li Mu refused without thinking.

In fact, Li Mu hasn't finished speaking yet. According to the Japanese's usual style of doing business, if the factory is set up in Japan, it would be said that even the merchant ships that deliver goods back and forth had to use the Japanese. In this way, the benefits will be taken up by the Japanese, but the factory's profit will not be much higher due to the increase in costs.

Besides, in Japan, the army now has only one guard division. If it is not a civilian, there are only more than 9,000 soldiers. Even if they are eight hands alone, they cannot use a few rifles. Therefore, Noguchiya wants to sign a procurement contract with the Junma Group instead of the Junma Weapons Company.

Needless to ask, the content of the contract is definitely not all procurement weapons, and the technology of Junma Group should also be part of the procurement content.

"There are many benefits. If Mr. Reim opens your factory in Japan, you will gain friendship from the Great Japanese Empire. The products of Junma Group will be unimpeded in Japan. We will purchase the products we need through Junma Group as much as possible. These will generate profits and a continuous stream of profits." Noguchiya's English writing is fine.

It sounds better than singing, but unfortunately in Li Mu's opinion, friendship from the Great Japanese Empire is worthless, and Li Mu is really not rare, so Li Mu's reply is very concise: "To be specific, what do you want to purchase? What do you need from Junma Group?"

"Everything!" Noguchiya was ambitious and had the meaning of devouring the world as soon as he opened his mouth: "Our great Japanese empire is undergoing earth-shaking changes, so we need everything, technology, steel, resources--"

"Steel is included in the resources-" Li Mu corrected it casually.

Noguchiya knew his mistake and corrected it: "Mr. Reim is still very knowledgeable."

"Come on, you really want everything, but do you have money?" Li Mu pointed directly at the core of the problem.

About the economic strength of the Japanese government—

Haha, referring to the complaints at the end of the previous chapter, Li Mu is indeed not optimistic about the Japanese government's ability to pay for a perverted country that depends on women to sell themselves to support national construction.

"About this, we can issue government bonds--" Noguchiya's answer was beyond Li Mu's expectations.

"Treasury bonds! You can't you ask me to help you issue treasury bonds?" Li Mu was so amused and crying. Is this a big expert who makes money by making money by me? OK?

"If Mr. Reim wants to help, it's best." Noguchiya smiled all over his face, as if he saw a bright future.

"Let's go slowly and don't send me off!" Li Mu didn't talk nonsense, and directly used four big words to express his mood.

This is really a big deal. The little dwarfs have a good plan. They asked Li Mu to help issue treasury bonds, and then use the money obtained from issuing treasury bonds to purchase related technologies and resources from Junma Group. Not to mention whether Li Mu is willing to sell technology, this shameless behavior of making money in nothing can be resisted.

"Mr. Reim, Mr. Reim--" Noguchiya felt that the conversation was pretty good. Unexpectedly, the style of painting suddenly changed. Li Mu turned his face directly. Faced with Yan Shun's polite and resolute "Come with me", Noguchiya really couldn't accept it.

"These people are really, I've opened my eyes. Some people are more shameless than you-" Benjamin laughed at Noguchiya who was taken away by Yan Shun and Chu Wushuang.

"What do you mean?" Li Mu immediately had a bad face. Although Li Mu was indeed shameless, you were also shameless when you scolded the monk in front of a bald monk.

"Self-picking people, no creativity." Benjamin did not respond, looked at the "chat records" between Li Mu and Noguchiya, and looked at the "chat records" of Li Mu and Noguchiya, and looked at it with disdain.

Well, it seems like that's what someone did when he was in Cuba.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go, we're going to meet our friends too." Li Mu didn't talk nonsense with Benjamin, and was about to go to the front hall to show his face.

"I don't want to go, you go--" Benjamin also wanted to be lazy, it was so good to stay here, with a cool breeze, beautiful scenery, and iced fruits and wines. Don't be too happy in this kind of life, don't change it to a god--

No, from Benjamin's perspective, it should be given an angel and not changed.

"As a person who is determined to make a difference in politics, you cannot miss any opportunity to make friends. In the front hall, a senator may be born. Are you sure you don't want to be familiar with each other?" Li Mu did not give Benjamin face and directly exposed Benjamin's hypocrisy.

Benjamin was born into a political family. He had already been gold in the army before, and now he has been involved in the diplomatic field and continues to gain reputation. If you want to say that Benjamin has no desires and no desires, Li Mu is the first to not believe it.

"Okay, okay, let's go together." Benjamin was so kind. Li Mu was right. A qualified politician should cherish all opportunities.

The front room banquet has reached its climax. Although there are no electric lights for lighting, there are too many candles. Each Western-style candlestick has five or six brackets on it. In the space of about 200 square meters, there are more than a dozen such candlesticks. Not to mention that they are as bright as daytime, it can also fully ensure that there are no blind spots.

People in suits and ties and long gowns are free to communicate. People are gentle and gentle, and they are very intoxicating with the fragrance of wine and gentle music.

Chen Guofang is very good at enjoying it. There is a group of musicians at home. These musicians are all beauties. They play music in a small room next to the banquet hall. The room is an open structure, and there is a bead curtain made of pearls hanging on the door, which has a very oriental charm that is half-covered by the pipa.

Li Mu and Benjamin came together and immediately attracted everyone's attention. As the main guest, Li Mu should have delivered a speech, expressing his gratitude to Chen Guofang and boosting morale on the other hand.

"Thank you, my enthusiastic friends, you made me feel the long-lost kindness. I hope that American friends don't care about this sentence. I am not accusing you of not being cute enough, although you are indeed not very cute-" Li Mu used a cold joke as the opening remark and successfully won a burst of kind laughter.

"When I left New York, it was the middle of winter. The north wind was howling and the snow was flying. The whole city seemed to be frozen, and even the air was frozen. I felt that if I continued to stay in New York, my thoughts would be dull. So I love the sunshine and beaches of Hawaii so much. This place should not be called Hawaii, but 'paria'--" Li Mu's speech was a bit sensational, and he threw it out in a basket of good words.

"People living in Hawaii are happy. They don't have to change clothes frequently within a year. A set of clothes is enough to deal with any weather, so I suggest you should bring your wives to Hawaii, which will save you a lot of clothing costs." A piece of clothing is always missing in a woman's wardrobe, and Li Mu's words have won universal resonance.

"But after coming to Hawaii, what I saw was not consistent with what I wanted to see. In my opinion, Hawaii is not a paradise, at least not yet. The shadow of feudalism and royal power covers the sky of Hawaii, which greatly reduces the scenery of Hawaii. I don't know what you feel, but in my opinion, such a beautiful scenery should be accompanied by free air. We should build a more beautiful Hawaii, rather than letting this beautiful scenery cover the shadow of feudalism and Wang Quande." There were no outsiders present, so Li Mu did not hide his attitude.

"Two kings died one after another within a year. This kind of thing is not common in the world, so we should think about a question, what exactly caused all this to happen, and why in this beautiful place, such tragedies have happened one after another. In my opinion, this must be a system problem." Li Mu transformed into a public intellectual and made the strongest voice of the times.
