The result of the bargaining is that Li Mu will take out $500,000 to occupy 25% of the shares in the new plastic factory.

Don’t doubt that money these days is so valuable. Two million dollars is enough for Rockefeller to build a super luxurious modern factory. How much has Li Mu spent so far in the Junma Automobile Factory in Brooklyn?

It's less than two million dollars.

This kind of investment is a normal behavior, and everyone takes what they need. Rockefeller found a partner who shared the risks, while Li Mu found a new way to make money, and both of them were very satisfied.

As for whether Rockefeller will regret today's decision in the future, that's not the issue that Rockefeller needs to consider. Except for Li Mu, no one can affirm the prospects of the plastics industry, so Rockefeller will continue to invest, as long as he can ensure that the controlling rights are in his own hands.

At 9:30, the mass ceremony ended, and Li Mu and his party returned to the Governor's Island.

As loyal Buddhist believers, Yan Father and Yan’s mother did not go to Trinity Church to attend the Mass. During the period when Li Mu and his friends went to perform the Mass, Yan Father and Yan’s mother had carefully prepared a large table of dishes, including both the Eastern court dishes and the Western Christmas tradition turkey, which surprised Claudia, who had celebrated Christmas on the Governor’s Island for the first time.

Will gave Chuxue enough face and invited Yan's father and Yan's mother to have dinner together. Yan's father and Yan's mother did not want to stay and join in the fun. He politely declined Will's invitation, but kept Chuxue.

Well, this is actually what Li Mu asked for. For a long time, Li Mu has been accustomed to Chuxue being by his side. Chuxue has not taken the initiative to avoid suspicion because Li Mu and Gloria have determined their relationship, and Gloria doesn't seem to mind either.

According to traditional customs, pray first, then sing Christmas songs, and then start to have a feast.

Considering that today is a festival, everyone drinks champagne together, and even Sandy, who is not yet an adult, was very satisfied with this and was very happy to hold his own cup.

Several women are centered on Will, and they are no exception when eating. Li Mu and Will are not as close as they are. They sit aside and are still talking about work.

"I may be going to Virginia in a while, so you have to be careful of the revenge of the Texans, and they will definitely not give up." Will's expression was worried.

Texas cowboys are famous and are a little nervous when they are attracted to such a group of people.

It is easy to avoid hidden arrows, but it is hard to defend against it. It only takes a thousand days to become a thief, but there is no reason to defend against it for a thousand days. No matter how powerful Li Mu is in New York, there will always be a secret time. Maybe a small mistake can become a fatal danger. Will doesn't want Gloria to be a widow so early.

"Why do you want to go to Virginia?" Li Mu asked while dealing with the steak on the plate.

Li Mu was not worried about the threat from the Texans at all, and was still very concerned about Will's affairs.

As the commander of the First Cavalry Division of the United States Army, Will's every move is very meaningful.

Although Virginia seems to be located on the dividing line between the north and the south of the United States, it is actually a firm Democratic territory. During the Civil War, the Southern State established the United States of America, and the capital of the Union countries at that time was in Richmond, the capital of Virginia.

Seeing that the election is about to be imminent next year, Washington must have had no choice but to move the First Cavalry Division to Virginia at this time. Li Mu is still concerned about this, because it concerns whether the Republican Party can win again in next year's election.

"No, it's just a normal transfer." Will didn't want to explain too much. If you say too much, it is very suspicious of leaking secrets.

Li Mu nodded with his lips and said that even if Will didn't say it, Li Mu could guess Washington's intention.

The reason is very simple. Seeing that the election is imminent, the Republican Party has no confidence in winning. The Democratic Party is coming in a fierce manner and is trying to make a comeback. Washington is trying to show off his muscles and warns some ambitious people not to try to make trouble at this time.

It is just a warning. The Civil War has a far-reaching impact. Through that war, everyone has successfully realized the great destructive power of war. Therefore, no one wants to fight. Even if the Democrats still cannot win this time, the Democrats will accept the defeat calmly and continue to accumulate strength for the next election, and will not use the extreme method of war like the last time to seek to realize their political vision.

Of course, the Republican Party is the same. Although Li Mu is a qualified arms dealer, he hopes that war will occur in the United States every day, but in fact this is impossible. Some people even believe that the United States will not fight from now on, not only will it not break out in civil wars, but it will not be involved in any wars in other countries.

This is a mid-term version of "isolationism". This idea actually appeared as early as the beginning of the founding of the United States. Its core is "we are acting for ourselves, not for others."

This idea fully expresses the selfishness of Americans. In fact, Americans just want to live their lives behind closed doors. Whether people in other countries die or live has nothing to do with them. It is the American version of "Everyone sweeps away the snow in front of the door, don't worry about frost on others."

"What are you going to do next?" Will is not sure about Li Mu's idea, but for Gloria, Will is willing to learn more.

"Of course, I want to continue to make money and make more money..." Li Mu didn't think too much about it. When it comes to Li Mu's business, there seems to be a lot of things that can be done, but in fact, there is not much room for Li Mu to choose.

Don’t think that rich people can do whatever they want. If it is just to satisfy personal desires, then Li Mu has indeed reached the peak of his life. Even if Li Mu is willing, it is not difficult to expand his territory overseas and become a king. But at the same time, with the improvement of his status, Li Mu can choose less and less, because no matter what decision Li Mu makes, it will determine the fate of many people, so Li Mu must be cautious.

"Your money is already enough. If you want, you can even buy the entire New York. Do you have no real life ideals?" Will tried to pull Li Mu back to the right path, but unfortunately, even Will is probably unable to explain clearly now. For Li Mu, what the so-called "right path" should be.

"Why do you ask this?" Li Mu felt a little ignorant, so he simply put down his knife and fork and picked up the wine glass: "I remember when I first got off the boat in San Francisco, I just wanted to live in the United States. Later, you know, we had a horse weapon factory. At that time, I just wanted to make money and make more money to support the Chinese in the United States so that they can get a fair and just treatment... Now it seems that all this has come true, so it really doesn't matter what my ideal is. As long as all of us can be happy and can continue to be happy, I think this is my current ideal."

"It's a big proposition to keep being happy." Will was a little shocked. Perhaps he didn't expect that Li Mu would give such an answer.

"Mainly willing, nothing is impossible." Gloria interjected.

The chat content between Li Mu and Will has successfully attracted the attention of women. Although Will is cute, everyone actually knows that the real backbone of this family is Li Mu and Will.

After confirming the relationship with Li Mu, Gloria seemed to have become a different person and began to protect Li Mu everywhere, even the kind of unprincipled maintenance.

Of course, Gloria may have been like this all the time, but Gloria has not shown it until Gloria feels Sandy's threat that Gloria really attaches importance to this issue.

"I don't mean to deny it. Actually, I just want to say that you can live a simpler life, or a purer life." Will seemed to have something else to say, and his words sounded obscure.

"Do you want me to stop being involved in politics?" Li Mu was still very smart.

"It's meaningful, but not all." Will did not hide it.

"You have to know that you are no longer the Sheriff of Springfield, and I am no longer the owner of the Junma Weapon Factory. So let's face it, the days before have gone forever, and we all need to adapt to our new identities." Li Mu can't stop even if he wants to stop, and he can't help but be in the world.

With the size of the Junma Group, it is probably impossible for Li Mu to stay out of the matter. It is either the Democratic Party or the Republican Party. Li Mu needs to find a belonging, just like Li Mu believes in nothing but insists that he is a Catholic. If he wants to continue moving forward, he must do some disguise and also find a suitable companion.

"I understand, what I want to say is that you can take another solution to some things, rather than being so simple and crude all the time." Will finally couldn't take the opportunity, so he was not suitable to beat around the bush. It would be better to just say something.

"I understand that some things can be vague, but some things must be persisted." Some words Li Mu wanted to say were too straightforward.

Today, Li Mu is now an American citizen, but Li Mu never forgot that he is a Chinese. This identity determines that Li Mu is different from Will. As a white man, no matter what Will does, as long as he does not make a principled mistake, no one will exaggerate Will. Li Mu is different. If Li Mu shows any weakness, he will probably be eaten immediately and not even left with scum.

Will definitely don't understand this mood, so Li Mu didn't want to say too much in detail. Some things are as long as you know them, and there is no need to make everyone know them, especially at the Christmas table, Li Mu didn't want to destroy the atmosphere on the table.

"Dad, just handle your own business well. Shouldn't you give Rim the greatest trust at this time? I believe Rim can do it well." Gloria is now Li Mu's little fan. Not only did she look at Li Mu, her eyes lit up, but she also put her hands on Li Mu's hand.
