After lunch, Li Mu and Green Giles came to the main venue of the Independence Centennial Exhibition to start their own treasure hunt.

The Adult Independence Centennial Exhibition is scheduled to open on May 1, but in fact, the decoration of the main exhibition hall has been completed before the New Year. By the end of March, the layout of the exhibition hall has been completed. The organizing committee thought that it would be more than a month before May, and the venue was still there, so they simply sold tickets and started the "trial business".

It can be seen how tight the funds of the Independent Centennial Exhibition Organizing Committee are, and the New York City Government is also "poor" and afraid.

Tickets for the exhibition are one dollar each, and the audience can save ticket stubs as a souvenir, and also add a miniature doll of the Goddess of Victory.

Entering the lobby of the Independence Centennial Exhibition, the purpose of entering is a Chris-style steam engine with a height of 13 meters, 56 tons and 1,400 horsepower. This is also the largest steam engine in the world and represents the industrial technology level of the United States.

In addition to the Chris-style steam engine, at this Independent Centennial Exhibition, the states will also exhibit the achievements of the first industrial revolution era such as steam-driven generators, starters, printing machines, and forging machines.

In addition to these mature industrial machines, the Independent Centennial Exhibition will also recommend a large number of peak products from the Second Industrial Revolution era to all audiences, including internal combustion engines, cars, electric lights, telephones, sewing machines, typewriters, duplex telegraphs, etc., which represent the highest level of advanced equipment in the industry at this time.

In fact, this independent century exhibition should be strictly speaking a "American Products Fair". Although there are as many as 35 countries participating in this world exhibition, American products account for more than half of the total number of single products, among which nearly half of the products in the main hall are American products, the Mechanical Hall American products account for three-quarters, the Agriculture Hall accounts for two-thirds, and the Gardening Hall almost all American products.

Among all American products, exhibitions related to Junma Group account for nearly a quarter of the total, which fully reflects Junma Group's position in the US economic field.

Junma Group's products are indeed eye-catching. All internal combustion engines that appeared at the exhibition are products of Junma Group. Although more than ten brands of cars appear, almost all cars use Junma Group's engines.

In addition to automobiles and internal combustion engines, Junma Group also occupies an absolute monopoly in the electric light field and telephone field. All the electric lights and telephones that appeared at the entire exhibition were provided by Junma Group, including 1,200 light bulbs provided for the main exhibition hall, all from free donations from Junma Group.

I feel that judging from the exhibition status of the past ten days, Junma Group's products are indeed very popular. Junma Automobile Company has received orders of nearly 7,000 cars from all over the United States and Europe. Just in terms of Junma Automobile Company's current production, it will take a full year next year to complete these orders.

Electric lights and telephones also gained benefits. Although British companies did not have any contact with companies under the Junma Group, orders from France, Austria-Hungarian Empire, Ottoman Turkey, and the Kingdom of Italy still made Junma Group full of money. In just ten days, Junma Group received an order worth US$15 million from the electric lights and telephones.

The bigger surprise came from Junma Clothing Company. On the second day of the opening of the Independent Centennial Exhibition, Junma Clothing Company received a 500,000 military binding order from the Ottoman Turkish Empire. This order made Cao Anran ecstatic. With Junma Clothing Company's current production capacity, even if it works overtime, it will take eight months to complete the order.

So during this period, Li Mu approved a series of requests for new factory establishment, not only Junma Automobile Factory, Junma Electrical Appliance Factory, Junma Clothing Factory, and even Carnegie Reim Steel Company are seeking expansion.

Li Mu certainly accepted these requirements in full. The larger the company's scale, the higher the influence Junma Group has. Others should be more cautious when they want to fight Junma Group.

There are not so many people who will make trouble for nothing. There are actually not many groups like the Texas Cotton Farmers Association.

By the way, under Samuel Tilden's "mediation", the Texas Farmers Association has completely surrendered. The Texans not only have to restore supply and ensure quality, but also have to exempt Junma Non-stapled Food Company from 20% of the unpaid payments as compensation for Junma Clothing Company.

Li Mu expressed satisfaction with the result. In fact, this compensation is optional for Li Mu. Li Mu does not care about this little money, but Li Mu needs to use this money to demonstrate the majesty of the Junma Group and keep those who are ready to move towards the Junma Group calm down.

Regarding this matter, Samuel Tilden once proposed to use the symbolic approach of "reimbursement of one dollar" to recognize the victory of the Horse Group.

Li Mu firmly rejected this request. "One dollar" sounds like a standard, but in fact it is a standard behavior of two-pressure. If you are right, it is right. The winner does not need to blame. If you are wrong, you have to pay a price. If you want to take out a dollar, you will turn big things into small things. Who is this fooling?

With this money, Li Mu would rather donate it to the widowed and widowed people in the United States. At least this would win a lot of people's hearts. Why do you want to be cheaper for those who don't cry without seeing the coffin?

You have already achieved such a perfect start before you officially started. Li Mu is not worried about the harvest of Junma Group at all. You can also shift your more attention to Taobao in the main exhibition hall.

In fact, although the Independent Centennial Exhibition is known as dozens of sub-venues, the essence is in this main exhibition hall. Other professional venues and sub-venues of various countries are decorations, especially the sub-venues of various countries. Many of them are not open to the public at all and are only used to provide accommodation for domestic exhibitors, or only accept domestic exhibitors.

According to the requirements of the Independent Centennial Exhibition Committee, all participating countries should have their own exhibition halls. In fact, this is not the case at all. Only 15 countries have their own exhibition halls in the 35 countries participating in the exhibition, and other countries have not considered this issue at all.

For example, the Qing Empire did not have its own exhibition hall.

Although the Qing Empire also sent a delegation to participate in the Centennial Independence Exhibition and brought more than 6,800, more than 700 boxes of exhibits worth 200,000 taels of silver, the Qing Empire did not take this exhibition seriously at all. They did not come to sell things, but just to show the Qing Empire's Huatianbao, perfectly played a role of a man who was innocent and possessed a treasure.

Although the Qing Empire at this time had a long history and vast land and resources, it did not have an international status in the international community that matched their population. Therefore, the booth of the Qing Empire was located in an inconspicuous corner at the very edge of the main exhibition hall. If it weren't for the huge archway, it was very oriental, Li Mu could not even find the booth of the Qing Empire.

Green Giles came to the main exhibition hall and must first inspect the exhibition hall in the United States of Cuba.

Because of its relationship with the United States, the United States of Cuba has obtained a very good exhibition hall, right next to the exhibition hall of Junma Group, located in the middle of the entire main exhibition hall.

Li Mu had already seen the exhibition hall of the United States of Cuba, so he was temporarily separated from Green Giles, and Li Mu went to the exhibition hall of the Qing Empire alone.

Don't get me wrong. Li Mu is not really going alone here, but the others don't have to waste their writing. In fact, Li Mu will always bring more than a dozen followers around him. Chuxue and Mason are definitely indispensable. The rest are big-sleeved security personnel.

Li Mu's bodyguards are all from Chuntian Security Company. They are wearing uniform black suits and uniforms and top hats that are convenient for movement. Their height is over 1.9 meters, so it is impossible not to attract attention.

With such a group of people around, there will be almost no bloody incidents. When others see this large group of tall and strong bodyguards, they will naturally consider their own weight. If they can't afford to offend, they can't hide...

In fact, there are not so many brainless people in real society. The weirdo who shouted "My dad is so-and-so", is actually only one in the world. This was because his father accidentally released it. If other people's family had such a disaster, even if they were not strangled to death, they would not let him go out to show up and cause trouble.

In fact, including the weird guy who shouted "My dad is so-and-so", his background is just that. Those who have a real background will not say that at all. They don't do such a tasteless thing, and even if they say it, the media will not dare to report it.

The exhibition halls of the Qing Empire were indeed very oriental. You can see the tall wooden entrance archway from afar. The entrance archway is exquisitely made, with brackets, flying eaves, carved beams and painted buildings. It can be seen from the hands of skilled craftsmen.

This archway was made in the Qing Empire. It was disassembled and shipped here and then assembled. Judging from the skills, it is probably comparable to Lao Yan.

On the front of the archway is a plaque "The Great Qing Kingdom" written by Li Gui, a representative of the Qing Empire's industry and business.

Li Gui was from Jiangning and worked at Ningbo Customs in 1865. Later, he was ordered by Heard, the General Taxation Department of the Qing Empire Customs, to attend the American Independence Centennial Exhibition.

There is also a couplet on the archway. The first couplet is: The grand view of the eighteen provinces is collected, and the heavenly craftsmanship can be taken away; the second couplet is: Celebrating the 100th anniversary, Friendship Ston; Horizontal draft: Tianbao of things.

If there is no word on this archway, Li Mu wouldn't mind moving the archway away together. Forget it now. Although this archway is also made of sandalwood, what Li Mu lacks the most now is sandalwood.

The protagonists in the exhibition hall of the Qing Empire were still singing porcelain and silk, in addition to wood carvings, fine wine, furniture, fur, and precious medicinal materials.

If you see the exhibition hall of the empire clearly, there is no trace of industrial traces. Even from the perspective of the 19th century, it is more like a museum, completely different from the exhibition halls in other countries.

Before Li Mu entered the exhibition hall of the Qing Empire, Mason, as Li Mu's bodyguard leader, should have gone in and walked around first to determine the safety of the entire exhibition hall.

In fact, there is no need to worry too much about the security situation. The security work of the entire Independent Centennial Exhibition was contracted by Chuntian Security Company, and Li Mu is still confident in Chuntian Security Company.

Although I am confident, I still can’t save any procedures at all. Especially after the conflict with the Texans, the security around Li Mu was open and loose and tight, and no one could be sure. Although the Texans were soft-spoken, they also gave up the possibility of revenge in their hearts.

No one dares to take this responsibility, so be careful.

It is estimated that it has been so many days since there are very few foreigners who have visited the exhibition hall of the Qing Empire. More than a dozen "old zombies" wearing long robes and jackets are bored in the exhibition halls. The older ones gather together to chat, while the younger ones gather together to comment on the white faces in the exhibition halls of other countries around, looking like a gaze.

But they don’t know that here they are the objects of onlookers.

To be honest, if Li Mu was not interested in the things left by these ancestors, he would not want to see these "zombies". Seeing the braid behind the zombies' heads, Li Mu would feel disgusted from the bottom of his heart.

If you think about it carefully, this group of zombies has contributed countless palace dramas to the screens of later generations, and there is almost no other contribution that Li Mu can think of. They are like a group of parasites, now lying on the body of Han people to suck blood, and in the future they will jump out of disgusting people from time to time, and they don’t even feel that they are disgusting. Just like Ah Q in "The True Story of Ah Q", the ancestors are rich, and they are rich. Since they have rich, they have to show off from time to time. As for whether others will feel uncomfortable, they don’t care...

A white face, Mason, suddenly broke into the exhibition hall where there were more staff than guests, and was immediately warmly treated. Two translators who were half-baked in English came up and greeted him. Mason took a lot of effort to realize that the two of them were asking him to come over and have tea with the "old zombies".

Drink tea?

Drink your sister!

I still have to work?

Mason simply rejected the invitation from the translator and confirmed that there were no safety hazards in the entire exhibition area, then he sent a signal to Li Mu.

Li Mu did not bring all the dozen people in, but only brought Chuxue alone.

Seeing Li Mu and Chuxue, the two translators were stunned for a while before they pushed me and I pushed you to welcome you. As soon as they came up, they still said in English: "Welcome, welcome..."

This English is the same as Teacher Zhao's English, with a mouth full of Tangshan flavor.

Not to mention it, Li Mu sounds so kind.

"Speak Chinese, I can understand." Li Mu was so kind.

At Li Mu's level, there is no need to use a kindness to prove that he is approachable. Americans who love to show off are all politicians, and ordinary Americans don't have so many erotic things. If Li Mu shows everyone, he will smile, not only will others disrespect you but will also make fun of you.
