On May 1st, four months after leaving New York, Li Mu finally returned to New York.

If there were no accidents, this should be the last time Li Mu left New York for a long time before the invention of the radio telegraph.

As the boss of Junma Group, Li Mu needs to deal with too many things himself. Leaving the New York base for a long time is very unfavorable to the development of Junma Group.

Although Henry was in charge of New York when Li Mu left New York, for Junma Group, the role of Li Mu is irreplaceable. Henry, the general manager, cannot make decisions in many things, and Li Mu still needs to come back to make an idea.

During the period when Li Mu left New York, Junma Group had already accumulated a lot of business, the most important of which was the restructuring of Junma Group.

Regarding the reorganization, Li Mu had a discussion with Henry before leaving. Li Mu wanted to dilute the shares of Junma Group through reorganization and split the shares into the hands of multiple companies, so as to make Junma Group less eye-catching as possible.

For example, in the power and communications industry, Junma Electric Company is now undoubtedly the dominant one. In the two fields of electric lights and telephones, Junma Group has set up a tight patent wall, so at present, Junma Group does not even have a competitor in these two fields.

But both industries are profitable industries. Junma Group has at least 80% profit in installing a set of power supply equipment. It is even more excessive. If the infrastructure is not considered, the profit margin of the telephone will reach 90%. Moreover, the telephone is still a continuous profitable project. It is not a one-time transaction like electric lights. After installation, there will be subsequent fees. If it continues to develop according to the current trend, then in a few years, Junma Group will be sued in court in the name of "monopolization".

Just like the Rockefeller and DuPont families once did.

Of course I am hungry. The Rockefeller and DuPont families have not yet developed to the point of monopoly, which is very different from the Junma Group. So if Li Mu did not make any moves, then the Junma Group will definitely be sued earlier than the Rockefeller and DuPont families.

In Li Mu's plan, the Evergreen Caribbean Investment Company and the Barron family will be the partners of Junma Group, which means that in the next period, Junma Group will transfer part of its shares to the Evergreen Caribbean Investment Company and the Barron family.

The CV Investment Company is an offshore company registered by Li Mu in the Bahamas. It is a company controlled by Li Mu, but it is not under the supervision of the US government. Li Mu will give the CV Investment Company at least 30% of the shares to dilute the equity in Li Mu.

The Barron Family Investment Company is a company under Will's name. It sounds like the "Barron Family" is quite famous. In fact, it is just Will, Gloria, Sandy and the other three. This company is actually controlled by Li Mu, and Will is just named.

After the shares are diluted, Junma Group will transform from a family business to a joint-stock enterprise, and the shares belonging to Li Mu will drop from 100% to about 40%. But in fact, these shares are still only owned by Li Mu. Although this is just a concealment, no one can find any problem. After all, this is the rule of the game.

During the period when Li Mu left New York, Henry had almost completed all the preliminary work. Just when Li Mu signed the "Share Transfer Letter", Junma Group would be replaced.

On the night when Li Mu returned to New York, Henry came to Li Mu with a lot of documents to sign, and the "Share Transfer Letter" was only part of it.

"——The Power Laboratory requires additional investment. This time the application is $1.3 million. If we add this money, we have invested 4.2 million in this project, but we still haven't seen any results. I think we should beat Franklin. Their lives are too leisurely-" Henry reported to Li Mu at William Castle, Governor Island.

Governor Island is already Li Mu's private property. Currently, the only buildings that are still preserved on Governor Island are William Castle. The island is now full of sandalwood purchased by Li Mu from Hawaii. According to Li Mu's plan, a building complex with Chinese traditional cultural style will be built on Governor Island. Sandalwood will be the main building material.

Henry organized a group of construction experts and designed three plans for Li Mu to come back to choose according to the terrain of Governor Island. Just wait for Li Mu to spit, the construction team will be able to enter the site immediately.

William Castle is a building that is determined to be preserved, so it was renovated again during this period, mainly interior decoration, and the exterior walls were just like that. Although they were a bit mottled, they looked more age-like. So Li Mu did not intend to change it. The main change was the interior. According to Li Mu's requirements, as long as there are sandalwood places that can be used, no matter whether it is furniture or flooring, they will be replaced.

The construction team under Li Mu can even take on projects like Kuobin Reservoir. Decorating William Castle is a piece of cake, so before Li Mu returns to New York, the decoration work was completed, which was just convenient for Li Mu to move in.

Li Mu's office is facing Manhattan on the third floor of William Castle. In order to achieve the best decorative effect, the entire wall was hollowed out. Steel columns and glass were used as support and decoration, and then used with floor furniture made of sandalwood, which has a classical charm that combines tradition and modernity.

"Don't beat them, give them full freedom. Believe in the scientific researchers, they will give you a reward beyond your imagination." Li Mu was not stingy, signing the report while giving Henry a vaccination.

Li Mu knows the value of scientific research, so no matter how hard he is, no matter how hard he is, no matter how hard he is, no matter how hard he is, no matter how hard he is, no matter how hard he is, no matter how hard he is, no matter how hard he is, no matter how hard he is, no matter how hard he is, no matter how hard he is, no matter how hard he is, no matter how hard he is, no matter how hard he is, no matter how hard he is, no matter how hard he is, no matter how hard

"You are too indulging in them. I'm worried that they will take all this for granted." Henry had a different opinion, and he was fighting against Mien.

Li Mu smiled and stopped talking, and then signed a document.

For Li Mu, the significance of the laboratory is not limited to the economic level, but also from a political perspective. Li Mu's goal has always been to improve the social status of Chinese people. Therefore, no matter in any high-end industry, Li Mu will try every means to get involved with Chinese people. In this way, if you accumulate a small amount and you will have a qualitative change one day.

As for the promotion of Mien and Fighting Mi Qiu, Li Mu doesn't care about this. The current chief manager of Junma Laboratory is Franklin. With Longkell's pearls and jade in front of him, Li Mu believes that Franklin will not pay attention to these small profits in front of him. As long as Franklin wants to follow Langkell's path, Franklin will help Li Mu look forward to the laboratory.

"By the way, during this period, a laboratory has applied for several patents on electricity supply in succession. We wanted to buy it, but the other party refused to sell it-" Henry reported a new situation.

"Whose laboratory?" Li Mu had expected the competitor, but when he heard about this, his heart was still stumbled.

"It seems to be called Edison-" Henry didn't care much, his tone was still relaxed.

"Edison - Very good -" The name is so thunderous

Thomas Alva Edison, a name that cannot be bypassed by the technology world. Li Mu is familiar with many legendary deeds of Edison. Li Mu originally thought that after he got the invention of lighting the lamp, he should be able to ignore this name, but he did not expect that the name still appeared in Li Mu's ears.

"Electricity supply - isn't this a research project being carried out by the Power Laboratory? Why did such a big mistake happen?" Li Mu was very angry. This was an unforgivable mistake.

"About this, the laboratory will follow the operating procedures and summarize all the technologies after completing a research project, and then apply for patents at one time to prevent someone from using our research results. Now the research on power supply has not been completed, so the patent application process has not yet entered. Edison's laboratory is not averse to the cold and cold. They don't care about it at all, just like a greedy crocodile. As long as there is a little progress, they will immediately get the patent office to apply for a patent, so-" Henry was a little embarrassed, but he still tried his best to explain.

"Who is the director of the Patent Office now?" Li Mu was not very clear about the personnel changes in New York during this period.

After Tweed's collapse, Arthur served as mayor of New York as he wished and also became one of the two senators in New York. He was the emperor and the minister. Therefore, New York has changed everything compared to four months ago.

However, this change is a major benefit for Junma Group. Arthur's coming to power will only benefit Li Mu without any harm.

"Marcus John, like Allen, is Ohio native. We use Marcus to suppress Edison's patent. In a few days, the New York District Court will hold a trial to decide the ownership of the patent. I have arranged it and guaranteed that Edison will get nothing." Henry's ability is still enough. Edison took advantage of loopholes before just because he was careless. If the Junma Group pays more attention to Edison, Edison is still too weak compared to the Junma Group.

This is not an exaggeration. No matter how great Edison is in the future, Edison is now just a newcomer who has just sold an invention and has obtained some money to show his skills in the field of technology. There are still many such people in New York. Before they can achieve enough results, they are not qualified to be Li Mu's opponents.

"Send someone to investigate Edison, see who is in his laboratory, and poach all his researchers." Li Mu decided to remove the firewood from the cauldron.

Although Edison was a great inventor in another time and space, Edison's educational level was actually the same. To put it bluntly, he was not as educated as Li Mu, so much of Edison's research is the research results of others. It was only because he was born in Edison's laboratory that he was named Edison.

If Junma Labs throws an olive branch to the working members of Edison's laboratory, Li Mu doesn't believe that anyone can reject this temptation. The current Junma Labs is like the future Hollywood to movie actors, which is simply irresistible.

"No problem, I'm actually doing this." Henry snickered, finally following Li Mu's rhythm again.
