890 Ashes

There are only two things that cannot be avoided when a person lives, taxes and death.

Of course, these two things only happen to the poor, or the middle class. At the level of Li Mu, it is not so absolute. Although death is inevitable, you can still think of ways to pay taxes, otherwise Li Mu would not have to raise so many accountants and lawyers.

Special matters are handled, and the pension insurance system is an innovative global effort. This is a major benefit that can fully prove the superiority of the American capitalist system. Edward Geoffrey and the New York City government can benefit a lot from it, and Li Mu should naturally be rewarded more. Therefore, the New York City government deliberately reduced some of the taxes of Angus Job, and it is impossible to directly exempt them. However, this "reduction" is also very flexible. How to reduce and how much it is reduced depends on how much benefits Edward Geoffrey and the New York City government can get from it.

"I don't know why, although I haven't discovered it yet, I always feel that you shouldn't be so kind, because I can't do this kind of thing. We have always been the same, so this shouldn't be your style." Rockefeller is still a bit thief. Although Li Mu's intention is still not visible, his intuition tells Rockefeller that he must catch up with this wave.

If you don’t catch up, Standard Oil and Junma Group are both the leading trusts in the United States. If Li Mu can provide such benefits to all employees of Junma Group, then Rockefeller should also provide the same benefits to all employees of Standard Oil, otherwise Rockefeller will confirm the title of "vampire".

In fact, in the current United States, many companies have provided employees with a certain degree of pension guarantee, but because the scale is not large and the popularity rate is not high, there is no system formed. There is no doubt that the benefits of pension insurance are as long as any company provides employees with protection after retirement, the incentive effect on employees is irreplaceable, and at least it can guarantee employees' loyalty to the company. This is not a problem for Junma Group, but it is very necessary for Standard Oil. Unlike most employees of Junma Group, most of the employees of Standard Oil are white. In this era without social insurance and provident fund, workers' mobility is still very strong. All companies hope that their employees are loyal to the company, especially for skilled workers, their value is very high, and some people cannot replace them at all. Once they leave, it will be a huge loss for the company.

The manufacturing industry is different from other industries. Even in the era of automation, the role of senior workers is still irreplaceable, not to mention the 19th century. Why can Li Mu move the headquarters of Junma Group to New York and set up Springfield Institute of Technology in New York, but keep the Junma Weapon Factory in Springfield, part of the reason is to ensure the stability of employees. In a sense, Li Mu would rather those workers live in Springfield for the rest of their lives than to see the prosperity of big cities.

This is not absolute. In fact, the workers in the Junma Weapon Factory live very well in Springfield. The Junma Weapon Factory provides complete logistical support for all workers, and the workers' club also has rich entertainment activities. Li Mu even built a theater in the Junma Weapon Factory, and specially invited a drama team from the Qing Dynasty to perform for workers. That drama team can perform standard Peking Opera, as well as less standard Cantonese opera, Kun District, and even Huangmei Opera and Henan Opera.

This is enough. Anyway, the workers in the Junma Weapon Factory are not picky. They can listen to operas in the United States, so they still want to be picky.

"Stop talking nonsense. If you want to do it yourself, do it yourself. If you don't want to do it yourself, go find Situ or Chu. But I want to remind you that if you do it yourself, then you must be ready to compete with me. This does not seem to be in line with our friendship." Li Mu certainly does not want Rockefeller to start a new business. This market has just been developed. Although the market prospects are broad, the plate is very small now, and Li Mu never does raising a tiger for trouble.

In another time and space, Li Mu often familiar with the contract spirit of Americans. It seems that Americans are saints and never do things that don’t keep their words. In fact, they are nonsense. The United States has a contract spirit, but the contract spirit is definitely not as important as propaganda. Even the country can tear up the agreement at will, and turn against others at any time. How good can Americans expect to have a contract spirit? The word profit is the first, let alone the "contract", my mother and I can ignore it.

There must be friendship between Li Mu and Rockefeller, but friendship is not static. There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. If Rockefeller does not come to you, Li Mu can make a fortune in silence. When Rockefeller or others discover that the industry has great potential, Angus Job's company has become a climate, and no one else can enter this market, because this market has a very strong exclusivity. It is impossible for a person to buy a pension insurance in this company and then buy a pension insurance in other companies. Americans in this era are not as rich as this level.

"Haha, how could I betray our friendship? Angus Job's company, right? No problem, I'll let someone go tomorrow, but Reim, have you forgotten something?" Rockefeller was the purpose. Before that, Rockefeller had never heard of the word "pension insurance", so forget about the operation, Rockefeller didn't want to do it or take risks, just have the opportunity to make money with Li Mu.

The bigger the business, the more vigilant he is towards unfamiliar industries. At this time, most companies in the United States were still relatively dedicated and few cross-industry operations were operated. Junma Group was the most successful among them, but Junma Group's success could not be replicated, because there was only Li Mu in this time and space traveler, and others did not have Li Mu's memory, so it was naturally impossible to replicate Li Mu's success.

In fact, even in the 21st century, most successful companies are dedicated to a certain field. It is already rare to be able to excel in one field. While wanting to make mobile phones, they also want to make kitchen and bathroom cosmetics, daily necessities, technology software, etc. In the end, they can only be greedy and can’t make a lot of money. There are too many businesses in this world and they want to do everything, so why not do private aerospace?

Then you can really go to heaven.

"If you want to invest, just say it clearly, don't beat around the bush." ​​Li Mu straightforwardly. It is also a good thing to pull Rockefeller into the gang. Others don't know how big the pension insurance cake is. Li Mu knows best. Anyway, it's even bigger than Rockefeller imagined, so Li Mu had to swallow it by force himself, and maybe he would be overwhelmed to death. It would be better to pull a few more people to swallow it together. Anyway, everyone can eat enough.

Rockefeller was finally satisfied. Next, Li Mu had to repeat what he said in Edward Jeffrey's office, and Li Mu said more and described the bright prospects of the pension insurance industry, which also made Rockefeller's blood immediately boil.

In fact, it is completely unnecessary. Rockefeller has made a lot of money with Li Mu in the past two years. As long as Li Mu does something, Rockefeller will do it immediately. If he fails to do it, he will beg for nothing to invest. Li Mu can understand why Rockefeller is so excited, not because of money, but because of new challenges.

With Rockefeller's joining, the expansion of pension insurance will soon accelerate. Li Mu is very powerful in New York, and Rockefeller is also very powerful in New York, and the two have complementary advantages. Li Mu's advantage lies in the official position, and Rockefeller's advantage lies in the white people. Relatively speaking, ordinary citizens in New York believe that indigenous capitalists like Rockefeller are always somewhat resistant to foreigners like Li Mu.

Yes, although Li Mu has been in the United States for nearly ten years, for the United States, Li Mu is still more like a passerby, just like the Governor's Island is not far from Manhattan, but it is across the sea from Manhattan.

With the support of Li Mu and Rockefeller, Angus Job's development speed is changing with each passing day. This term is not just a pure adjective. After all, pensions are delivered monthly, so the scope controlled by Angus Job is expanding every month. By the third month, Angus Job's company took down half a block of adjacent areas, so Angus Job's first asset was immediately confirmed.

"Yes, we have to push half a block away and build a super department store. This will be the first industry of Angus Job. In the future, we will fix this model, first of all, the department store, then the hotel, and finally the apartment. Our ultimate goal is to conquer the whole of the United States and then develop Europe." Li Mu was ambitious and played big things. He was similar to Alexander Stewart's department store. Li Mu was disdainful of doing it. Although it was difficult to withdraw from the supermarket now, it was not difficult for Li Mu. In fact, even in the 21st century, the most common supermarket in the United States was Walmart, not Carrefour. The business models of the two were different.

Although it is also a supermarket, the business model is also different because of different customer groups. The supermarket in the United States is more similar to a large wholesale market. It is not difficult to manage, and it is even easier to manage department stores like Alexander Stewart. Li Mu is confident that as long as the supermarket is built, it can subvert the current sales model of the US retail industry. This has been proven fact and does not need to be discussed at all.

"How super is the super department store?" j·p·Morgan is now a shareholder of Angus Job, so he is also qualified to attend the shareholder meeting of Angus Job.

Li Mu explained the concept of supermarkets slightly, and j·p·Morgan and Rockefeller immediately agreed.

Nonsense, they are all big bosses in the business world, with an extraordinary high vision, and whether the business model has a future can be seen with just one ear.

Moreover, this is the model proposed by Li Mu, and there is no need to question it at all. This is also proved. Li Mu has never failed since Li Mu founded the Junma Weapon Factory. Li Mu's experience has become a myth in the American business world. The business school under the Institute of Technology even wrote Li Mu's experience into the textbook. Of course, the darker part was not included, otherwise the professor who compiled the textbook would resign.

In fact, there are still many myths in the American business world, including j·p·Morgan, Rockefeller, Henry DuPont, Andrew Carnegie, etc. Anyone who writes about the experience of any person can be regarded as a business myth. These people are now shareholders of Angus Job's company, but Henry DuPont and Andrew Carnegie are not in New York for a long time, so it is impossible to attend every shareholder meeting.

"If a hotel is to be built, will it conflict with the Clinton Castle Hotel?" Rockefeller was worried again that he was also a shareholder of the Clinton Castle Hotel. Angus Job's company wanted to develop, but it could not harm the interests of the Clinton Castle Hotel.

"No, the hotel market is very big, and it can accommodate both the Clinton Castle Hotel and the Angus Job Hotel. New York now has two Clinton Castle Hotels, the third one is under construction, and there are three more that can accommodate." Li Mu is not worried about this problem. There are almost hundreds of hotels in New York now. The Clinton Castle Hotel is seizing the high-end market. In the future, Angus Job Hotel will compete for the mid-end market. As for the low-end market, it will be left to the current family hotels. Those hotels will be placed in the 21st century, and it is more suitable to describe them as homestays.

"You have to start a war now, build weapons, build cars, produce telephones, and build highways. Now you have to be busy with pension insurance. Can you be busy?" J·p·Morgan expressed doubts about Li Mu's energy. Human energy is limited. There are so many industries in Junma Group, it is already very good to be able to do one well, but Li Mu reached out everywhere, which made J·p·Morgan really worried.

"There is a lot of work. If you do it yourself, you can't finish it at any time. If you do investment, you must follow up every investment to the end." Li Mu is not worried about this problem. There is a professional manager system and a collective decision-making system. Li Mu himself has a very small workload. The only ones responsible to Li Mu directly to Li Mu are the supervision department and the financial department led by Chuxue. Strictly speaking, Li Mu is in charge of Henry and the general managers of the branch, with a total of less than ten people.

"That's right, I just care about my investment." j·p·Morgan just asked casually. No matter how unreliable Li Mu's management method is, Junma Group is currently maintaining a good operating situation, which is enough to show that Li Mu's management method is fine.

In fact, it is not entirely fine. The reason why it looks good now is that most of the industries that Junma Group is involved in are sunrise industries. Even if it is extensive, there is no reason for poor operation in a monopoly environment, unless there is a borer like Solomon Lob.

All borers are pests, so don’t be rude when dealing with pests.
