750 Don't give, don't give, just don't give

Whoever serves the bowl, you have to obey whoever is not rough. It is established in both Eastern and Western societies. Western media sing praises for capital and help cover up negative news is the duty. If you don’t do this, capitalists will teach you how to be a human being in minutes. As for "freedom of press and speech", that is what Wang Po sells melons and boasts about it, and casually talks about fooling others, and whoever believes is stupid.

The same is true for some news media in the Republic of the 21st century. Although they all have "national conscience", they actually know that these people are not holding up bowls to eat, putting down their chopsticks to curse, but they are also talking to their boss, but they have done a little more good-heartedly.

If you think about it carefully, it is not easy for those people. On the one hand, you are serving your master carefully, making some news about the scattered and cheating of leftovers, and on the other hand, you have to pretend to be righteous and hypocritical. You are willing to do whatever you want to promote the democratic process of others. This personality is really very divided.

Compared with those stepmothers, Time magazine is undoubtedly Li Mu's biological son. Although sometimes Time magazine has to turn a blind eye and make a choice, most of the time, Time magazine's reports are still objective. As long as they have nothing to do with Li Mu and the Junma Group, Time magazine's reports can uphold the principle of fairness.

If there is no accident, James Garfield's biggest opponent when he ran for president was Samuel Tilden, who lost his campaign last year. Unlike the Republican Party, which has serious internal power struggles, the Democratic Party is united and has determined early that Samuel Tilden will continue to participate in the presidential competition as a Democratic candidate. This sets a position for Time magazine, regardless of whether Samuel Tilden's governing ability is stronger than James Garfield

Time magazine will sing praises to James Garfield, which has nothing to do with being unconscience. In fact, no matter who is president, it is similar. In this political system of the United States, the president has little power in many things. President Hayes has been a member of two years. He will not be able to do it if he wants to promote Congress to establish a civilian official committee. If James Garfield wins the election and does not remain consistent with the entire class, James Garfield will also be unable to move forward.

When you come to the "Story of Liberty", you must visit Li Mu's private collection. Li Mu has strong capital in this regard. There are more than 300 antiques used for decoration of the "Story of Liberty" and are all high-quality works that are qualified to enter the exhibition at the Junma Museum. The Democratic Echo has a special report on this. It is said that nearly half of the cultural relics in the United States are in the hands of Li Mu, including the original "Declaration of Independence" signed by representatives of the Second Continental Congress.

"This important document should be kept in the National Archives." James Garfield did not expect that Li Mu could even get the original copy of the Declaration of Independence, which surprised James Garfield.

"There is no National Archives yet. Instead of sleeping in the archives of the Presidential Palace Archives, it is better to take them out for more people to appreciate them so that he can fully realize his value." Li Mu would not say how much it cost to get the original Declaration of Independence back from Washington. It was Li Mu's hands. Even if the Washington government asks Li Mu for it in the future, Li Mu can still refuse to give it to him. After all, private property is sacred and inviolable, right? It is written in the Declaration of Independence.

It is really not too easy to collect these days. In the United States, there is only the Junma Museum, which is a museum. If you want to sell antiques privately and sell them at a good price, you either sell them directly to Junma Museum or auction them through a beach club. Li Mu has the greatest convenience in this regard. Many times, Li Mu can obtain precious antiques and cultural relics at extremely low prices without passing the auction. Compared with the 21st century, antiques these days are not even worth the price of bargains.

Washington will not establish the National Archives until 1934. Before that, Li Mu still had a lot of time to buy it slowly, and there were not many opportunities for others. Inspired by Li Mu, several wealthy people in New York wanted to set up a museum, but they were forced to give up this idea because of insufficient exhibits.

"Reim, I'm also planning to set up a museum. You have so many good things here, how about transferring them to me?" Rockefeller is also interested in building a museum. Now Rockefeller has passed the original accumulation stage and has begun to try to improve his personal reputation. At least he can't be called a "robber tycoon" all day long. Although Rockefeller even takes pride in this, robber is a robber, and this title does not bring much glory to Rockefeller.

Li Mu also has a nickname called "arms dealer". This nickname is not much better than Rockefeller's "robber tycoon". However, the reputation surrounding Li Mu is mixed. Although selling arms is harmful to the world, Li Mu is also actively engaged in cultural undertakings, which has brought many benefits to Li Mu, and the benefits will become more and more in the future. Rockefeller must have discovered this. Doing some good things can make you famous, and collecting antiques and cultural relics will also increase value. Such good things are not often found.

"Don't think about transferring it. It's okay to lend it to you, but you have to pay rent. And if you have anything good, you have to lend it to me for exhibition at the Junma Museum." Li Mu would not do a loss-making business. Antiques and cultural relics these days are almost sold by pounds. Li Mu has always only entered and not left. Rockefeller wants to pick up cheap things from Li Mu, not to mention the door, not to mention the window.

"That's all, I'm going to set up an oil museum and put some oil equipment in it. If you are interested, take it away. I'll give it to you, don't have money." Rockefeller despises Li Mu's behavior of always being money. It's obviously a very elegant thing that makes Li Mu stinking, really.

Rockefeller started out in oil. There are many oil equipment, and those who can be put into museums should have been in the past few years. Maybe they have been eliminated. Li Mu is definitely not interested in such things, so Li Mu doesn't take this at all. Rockefeller is willing to say sarcastic words. Anyway, it is impossible to take advantage of Li Mu.

"Have the New York State Government and the New York City Government not established a museum?" James Garfield was also deeply inspired. Not only do businessmen need it, but politicians also need it.

"It seems that there is no." Li Mu and Rockefeller, the New York State Government and the New York City Government really don't have this idea.

If you want to talk about the benefits of museums, it is not impossible for the state government to see. After all, New York politicians are not fools. Everyone can see the benefits of museums. Unfortunately, even if you see them, you can't operate them. Li Mu's museum has become a benchmark for New York culture. Neither the New York State Government nor the New York City Government will set up another museum to try to share Li Mu's glory. This is not a matter of joining the grand event. It should be Li Mu's glory. No one can take it away, and the state and municipal governments do not want to take it.

Well, the most important thing is that I don’t dare to take it!

"We should establish state and municipal museums, or even national levels. We have many things that are worth remembering-" James Garfield spoke out bluntly, perhaps because he realized that his tone was a bit stiff. James Garfield turned to Li Mu and sincerely said: "——Rim, please forgive my honesty. The original document of the Declaration of Independence should still be preserved by state institutions and displayed in national exhibition halls."

The words are good, but they do not meet Li Mu's expectations. What does it mean? The original "Declaration of Independence" was bought by Li Mu for money. Li Mu will put it wherever he wants. It is normal to say irresponsible words. As for James Garfield's words, Li Mu habitually ignores it. This is the standard thing that stands without pain in his back. Why do you have to cooperate unconditionally with your words "should"?

There is no ** in the United States.

"If the National Museum is established in Washington in the future, I will of course cooperate." Li Mu still said that as for what to say, the promise is not given. If the National Museum is established in Washington in the future and a request is issued to the Junma Museum, then Li Mu can cooperate with the National Museum to a certain extent, but it is just cooperation, and it must be based on the request of the National Museum. It is impossible for Li Mu to take the initiative to carry forward his style.

"Look at this, what is this?" Rockefeller took the initiative to change the subject. It was obvious that Rockefeller did not agree with James Garfield's words.

Taking advantage of Rockefeller's distraction from James Garfield's attention, Li Mu and Arthur exchanged tacit glances.

Arthur smiled a little embarrassedly and secretly grimaced Li Mu behind James Garfield.

Li Mu laughed it off and didn't take this matter seriously. Even if James Garfield was successfully elected, Li Mu would not rush to lick it, and the intensity it should have would not be less.

What Rockefeller used to divert James Garfield's attention was a golden mask, which was Will's trophy in Montana. It was said to belong to a famous Indian chief. Will seized many similar gold products at the beginning, most of which were placed in the basement of the Governor's Island by Li Mu. Only a part of the fine products were taken on the "Story of Liberty" as decoration.

Like the original "Declaration of Independence", the gold mask is randomly displayed on the antique shelf next to the restaurant, without frames or glass display cabinets, and is exposed to the air. If Rockefeller wants to, he can even pick it up and try to wear it.

Of course, Rockefeller would not do such things. He still has the qualities he should have. He looked at the golden mask without greed, but only surprise and curiosity.

Well, the history of the United States is indeed unreasonable. The personal belongings of Indian chiefs can be considered part of American history. At this stage, such things have a special significance, symbolizing the conquest of white Americans over the Indians. If it were replaced by the twenty-first century, no one would regard this as glory, but in this era, it is obvious that everyone is proud of it.

"This is Will's trophy in the Battle of Montana. It is said to be the mask of the Indian chief sitting on a cow. Will originally wanted to melt it and make it into a necklace to give it to someone, but I asked it over. I think the workmanship of this thing is pretty good and has some auxiliary value, which is better than making a necklace." Li Mu didn't lie. If Will handle the golden mask, it would probably be rebuilt. As a soldier, don't expect a high awareness of cultural relics protection.

"Hahahaha, it should be made into a necklace, and then when a lady hangs the necklace around her neck, she will tell her that this is a mask for sitting cows. I think the expression on that lady's face must be very wonderful." Rockefeller laughed, obviously agreeing with Will's idea more.

For Rockefeller, the greatest significance of wealth is that. So what about the golden mask or the personal belongings of a cow? In Rockefeller's eyes, the value is probably no match for a joke.

"I heard that the First Cavalry Division had seized a golden scepter in Montana. Is that golden scepter here?" James Garfield was also curious. He didn't say anything disappointing this time, probably because he realized the correct attitude of communicating with Li Mu.

The First Cavalry Division was well captured in Montana. When Will returned to New York from Montana, the trophy alone filled a whole train carriage. This was not a secret in New York. During the Battle of Montana, James Garfield was a member of Congress and had his own information channels. James Garfield himself had participated in the war and was no stranger to this kind of thing.

"It's not just one hand, it's a lot. Some of them are inlaid with gems, but they are not particularly beautiful, so they are all in the warehouse of the Junma Museum. If you have the opportunity in the future, the Junma Museum will open an exhibition hall dedicated to the trophy of fighting against the Indians." Li Mu's answer was speechless. There were so many collections about the Indians that they had to open a special exhibition hall, which shows how rich the collection was.

"It's really jealous!" Even Rockefeller had to sigh that the most ordinary things here can be passed down as family heirlooms in ordinary families, but for Li Mu, it's just an inconspicuous little toy.

"I'm just one step ahead. You sell me a lot of my collections. By the way, I never said thank you to you. I hope you don't mind." Li Mu was simply outrageous. He was sprinkling salt on Rockefeller's wounds alive.

"You don't need to say thank you. I want to take it back now, and I will give you some interest at most." Rockefeller decisively cheated. This has nothing to do with character, and it is a joke between friends.

"Don't even think about it. The things in my hands are mine, and no one wants them." Li Mu said not only for Rockefeller, but also for James Garfield.
