The management efficiency at the end of the 19th century is definitely not comparable to that in the 21st century. What's more, the United States has no management to treat Indians at all. Can management that boasts of "tamed" still be management? No one will accept it willingly.

It can be seen that George Menipenei really wanted Li Mu to take over the management of the Indians.

Unfortunately, Li Mu has no interest in this job. Indians are just a big pit. Whoever gets into trouble will be in trouble. No matter how good George Menipenei says it now, as long as Li Mu takes over, Li Mu will definitely be scolded in the future. Maybe he will take the blame for persecuting the Indians. This is too much, and Li Mu can't take it.

All Li Mu wanted was the land of the Indians, and he had no interest in the Indians. No matter how the federal government treated the Indians, it had nothing to do with Li Mu.

So Li Mu directly rejected George Menipenei and was not embarrassed to be embarrassed.

"That's a pity." George Menipenei was indeed very regretful, and his disappointment was beyond words.

George Menipenei didn't know Li Mu's definition of mercenaries. In foreign countries, mercenaries can be unscrupulous, but in the United States, Li Mu must restrain himself. This is the tacit understanding between Li Mu and his group of capitalists and Washington.

"Don't regret George, even if he cannot cooperate, it will not affect our friendship. Tomorrow night, the 'Laura and Gloria's Foundation' will have a charity dinner, and we will talk about it in detail then." Li Mu sent an invitation to George Menipenei, and many things are not convenient to talk about in the Beach Club.

"Okay, let's talk about it in detail then." George Menipenei immediately became excited. Compared with business cooperation, it seems more important to gain Li Mu's friendship.

The charity dinner is held at the Clinton Castle Hotel. The banquet hall here has become a fixed place for the city government to hold dinners at the two levels. If others need a banquet hall, they must make an appointment in advance. Of course, Laura and Gloria do not need it.

Although the "Laura and Gloria Foundation" was established in Luzon, the Luzonians are obviously not covered by the foundation. In this era, many people in the United States also needed charitable relief, and New York was the home court of Laura and Gloria.

After returning to New York, Laura and Gloria began to look for opportunities and tried to kick off the "Laura and Gloria's Foundation". The two women worked for a week, but finally decided not to go to the outside world. Therefore, the first charity project of "Laura and Gloria's Foundation" was to provide free lunch for all students at the Junma Affiliated School.

Li Mu expressed great welcome to Laura and Gloria's decision. Although Junma Affiliated School has sufficient funds, the students in the school have already begun to enjoy a nutritious and full of free lunches a long time ago. Although compared with Junma Affiliated School, the children of public schools obviously need this lunch more, Li Mu still warmly welcomed the "Laura and Gloria's Foundation". To be honest, Li Mu doesn't care about the money for free lunch, nor does he care where Laura and Gloria spend the money. What Li Mu cares more about is that when there are benefits, Laura and Gloria's first thought of their own people, which is enough.

After returning to New York, the scale of the "Laura and Gloria Foundation" was also rapidly expanding. As the founder of the "Laura and Gloria Foundation", Laura and Gloria naturally became the directors of the foundation. In addition to Chu Xue, the "out-of-staff" of New York, the "Laura and Gloria Foundation" had six directors. In addition to Laura and Gloria, Will's wife Claudia, Arthur's wife Allen, and Andrew Carnegie's wife Louis all became the directors of the "Laura and Gloria Foundation".

Of course, with the expansion of management, the rapid increase in the foundation's contributions. Within a week, the "Laura and Gloria Foundation" raised more than $15 million in donations, which was enough for the "Laura and Gloria Foundation" to start operating normally.

As a foundation, if it wants to operate normally, it needs to have a certain hematopoietic function, which is the so-called "money makes money". At this time, Chuxue finally played a role. Referring to Li Mu's suggestion, the "Laura and Gloria's foundation" handed over half of the capital to the San Diego Investment Company, and then used most of the remaining capital to local investment in New York, and the money to actually take out charity will not exceed 5% of the foundation's capital.

Of course, this ratio is just a stopgap measure. When the "Laura and Gloria's Foundation" begins to make profits, all the profits will be used for the foundation's own operations and charitable projects every year, and the foundation's coverage will gradually expand. Lunch for students at Junma Affiliated School is just the beginning.

Even if it is just the beginning, it is still topical. In the United States these days, there are not as many foundations as in the future. "Laura and Gloria's Foundation" is the first truly charitable foundation in the United States, not to mention that the foundation's directors have enough backgrounds. "Laura and Gloria's Foundation" just made a rumor to hold a charity dinner, and the invitations for the dinner were immediately popular. There is no doubt that this small invitation has become the weather vane of the upper class in New York. Whether it can be invited has become the best reference for measuring personal social status.

It was only after the invitation was sent that Li Mu knew how many rich people there were in New York.

According to Laura and Gloria's idea, only those with personal assets above one million US dollars are eligible to accept the invitation from the "Laura and Gloria's Foundation". Although this standard is suspected of discrimination, it conforms to the foundation's philosophy. After all, the foundation wants to donate money. If people with insufficient wealth want to show their love, they should refer to it from other directions. For charity dinners, it is fine.

According to Li Mu's vision, there are probably no more than 300 people qualified to attend the dinner.

But unfortunately, New York is the financial center of the United States. It can be said that all the rich people in the United States are in New York. Laura and Gloria have good ideas, but the standards are mentioned again and again. In the end, only those who have achieved certain achievements in a certain industry are qualified to accept invitations, and ordinary rich people are excluded. Even so, the "Laura and Gloria Foundation" still sent out nearly 400 invitations.

You should know that such a dinner can bring a female companion. If it is a dinner held by others, not everyone who receives the invitation will be present. However, the "Laura and Gloria Foundation" will not send out 400 invitations, so nearly 800 people must be prepared to attend. This result will drive the management of the Clinton Castle Hotel crazy, because the Clinton Castle Hotel does not have such a large venue for holding dinners of this scale.

Not to mention the Clinton Castle Hotel, no hotel in the United States at this time had such a large venue.

In the end, Gloria had a solution. Since there was no large enough indoor venue, then put the dinner place on the open-air lawn. Not to mention 800 people, it would be fine even if the number of people was doubled.

Well, although this problem has been solved, the management of the Clinton Castle Hotel still has a headache and hopes that it will not rain on the day of the dinner, otherwise the board will still be hit on the specific executor.

As for a charity dinner, God is still very proud of his face. The weather in New York has been very good recently, with clear skies and bright moons and sparse stars.

Li Mu came to the Clinton Castle Hotel with Chuxue and the children at 5 pm to further contact George Menipenei and discuss what others know about it. As for Gloria, she spent the whole day at the Clinton Castle Hotel. This is the first time that the "Laura and Gloria Foundation" appeared in public. Gloria will never allow any accidents at the dinner.

When Li Mu came to the Clinton Castle Hotel, George Menipenei was already waiting at the Clinton Castle Hotel. Li Mu still sent Chuxue and the children to find Gloria, and then came to the executive suite on the top floor of the hotel with George Menipenei. This is the long-term private room of Junma Group, which is safe and concealed enough.

"Mason, please pour me two glasses of iced wine - George, please, please enjoy my collection here? I promise it will open your eyes. There are many good Indians here." Li Mu showed off his shamelessly, not caring whether George Menipenei is more knowledgeable than Li Mu in terms of Indian cultural relics as the American Indian Commissioner.

"Of course, that's my honor." George Menipenei performed very well. Although George Menipenei was also a senior official in Washington, he was not qualified to reject Li Mu.

It is well known that Li Mu's collection is rich. The Junma Museum is famous and is known as the largest museum in the United States. This reminds Washington very well. The biggest criticism from Europeans about the United States is that the United States is a country without history and does not have enough heritage. Li Mu established the Junma Museum and placed cultural relics from other countries in museums to exhibit. Although this seems inappropriate, it plays a great role in cultural heritage. Inspired by the Junma Museum, Washington is preparing for the National Museum of the United States, and New York City is also preparing for the Metropolitan Museum. In a few years, American museums will bloom everywhere. This is the effect of "demonstration effect".

Li Mu also went to New York Mayor Edward Geoffrey the day before yesterday, hoping to further expand the scale of the Junma Museum through Edward Geoffrey. Although the Junma Museum is already the largest museum in the United States, Li Mu was still not satisfied. This time, the many treasures brought back from the Far East was enough for Li Mu to prepare another exhibition hall related to Buddhism. Unfortunately, the Junma Museum has no extra space, so expansion is imminent.

The value of cultural relics lies in display. Li Mu does not want to put all the cultural relics in the warehouse and admire them alone, so as long as he has the chance, Li Mu is still willing to take out the collected cultural relics for breathing. The executive suite of the Clinton Castle Hotel is also a good way. Although the collections placed here are not treasures, the cultural relics themselves have a sense of age. After all, they are just hotels. It would be a waste of resources to put 1,700 carats of diamonds here.

As an Indian Commissioner, George Menipenei is an Indian expert and is indeed very familiar with Indian cultural relics. As long as the cultural relics placed by Li Mu in the Clinton Castle Hotel are of some origin, George Menipenei was very clear. I don’t know if he was deliberately trying to please Li Mu. George Menipenei was most interested in oriental landscape paintings. After appreciating a "Tongstone Picture" by Bada Shanren, George Menipenei expressed his willingness to donate several private collections of cultural relics leaked from the Qing Empire to the Junma Museum, which immediately won Li Mu's favor.

"Rain - Haha, Reim, if you want an Indian ranch, you should go to the Ministry of War. The Indian Affairs Bureau has no right in this regard." When Li Mu and George Menipenei sat down on the balcony and Li Mu finally began to mention the Indian land, George Menipenei was a little disappointed, which did not match George Menipenei's expectations.

In the past, the United States has not officially established the Ministry of Land and Resources. The Ministry of War dealt with issues related to Indians, including the Bureau of Indian Affairs, which is only one of the subordinate units of the Ministry of War.

"No, no, don't refuse George, I know you have the right. The land we obtain from Indians every year exceeds hundreds of millions of acres. I am not greedy, just a part of it, and I will pay it, not asking for it free of charge." Li Mu would not give George Menipenei the opportunity to refuse. George Menipenei is the Indian Affairs Commissioner. George Menipenei does not need George Menipenei to do too much. Just give Li Mu the opportunity to participate. The War Department will not be a problem.

By the way, just in March this year, Sherman resigned from his position as Minister of War and came to Junma Group as special counsel. The new Minister of War is Robert Lincoln. This guy is very famous. You can tell from his surname that his father is the famous president.

Don’t say that American politics is clear and clear. The United States practices real elite politics. Ordinary people have no qualifications to participate. There are many political families like the Lincoln family. For example, Robert Lincoln, who had never participated in the Civil War at all. However, in the late period of the war, Abraham Lincoln wrote a letter to Ulysses Grant, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, asking Ulysses Grant to arrange a position for Robert Lincoln. So Robert Lincoln served as deputy commander of the rank of captain, stationed in the camps of Petersburg and Appomatox, and was then able to witness Robert Lee’s surrender with his own eyes.

This is the connection between Robert Lincoln and the Civil War. Do you know how the newspaper commented?

Robert Lincoln performed well in the military!
