After returning to Riverside Town, Chu Xue reported to Li Mu, and Mike came to Li Mu again, but unfortunately, like the last time, Li Mu was still not at home, and Mike could only return home.
Li Mu didn't want to see Mike. The chance encounter at the entrance of the city bank fully showed that Mike had found a new partner, so it was normal for Li Mu to be unwilling.
Mike has a new partner, and Li Mu is so good. In Li Mu's view, Will is more suitable than Mike if he wants to choose a partner.
Although Will has a gloomy future, Will is still the Sheriff of Springfield. At the same time, Will has served as a soldier. There must be old bosses and good friends in the army. Li Mu is going to open an arsenal. The army is Li Mu ’s largest. Customers, with this approach can take a lot less detours.
Although Will has no intention of investing in Li Mu, Li Mu believes that after stable smokeless powder is developed, Will will definitely choose Li Mu.
Raw materials are necessary to open an arsenal, so cooperation with Carnegie is also important. Once Li Mu became a shareholder of Carnegie-McCandris Steel Company, although Li Mu did not participate in actual operations, Li Mu wanted to obtain production The raw materials of the weapon should be fine.
According to Li Mu's plan, Li Mu will take a train to Pittsburgh tomorrow morning to sign a contract with Carnegie, so Li Mu will go to Springfield tonight to avoid delaying the train tomorrow morning.
Pittsburgh is 65o kilometers from Springfield. No phone calls have been made this year, and no one can predict that Li Mu will go to Pittsburgh, so Will does not have to accompany him. Li Mu with Henry, Yan Hu and Yan Shun is enough.
On the carriage to Springfield, Li Mu and Henry are still studying their work arrangements for a period of time.
"Smokeless gunpowder may make breakthroughs at any time. Once the research is successful, we can cooperate with Springfield Arsenal to authorize them to produce smokeless gunpowder. We only need to collect patent fees and we can make a lot of money." Li Mu remembered The prospect of smokeless powder wanted to laugh out loud.
"If you open a gunpowder factory yourself, you will get the most profit." Henry considered the issue from the perspective of Li Mu, and strived for the greatest profit for Li Mu.
"The money is not endless. My arsenal will open for up to six months. At that time, it will be in direct competition with Springfield Arsenal. When we eat meat, we always want Springfield Arsenal to have some soup, otherwise we will inevitably It was strongly suppressed by the Springfield Arsenal. "Li Mu did not want to be surrounded by enemies. Do business, hello, hello, everyone, and hello.
Li Mu said this is also arrogant. Listen to what Li Mu said. Once Li Mu ’s arsenal officially operates, Springfield Arsenal will close. Henry does not know where Li Mu ’s confidence comes from, but Henry sincerely hopes that Li Mu can do it. .
The more money Li Mu earns, the more money Henry makes. From this perspective, Henry hopes that Li Mu is rich in the world.
Soon, Henry knew the source of Li Mu's confidence.
"The biggest advantage of smokeless gunpowder is that it promotes the development of automatic weapons. The current automatic weapons, because the bullets and shots used are not enough, so there are too many problems left by the powder residue, and the range is not far enough and the accuracy is not high. After the development of smokeless gunpowder, these problems will be solved one by one, so in the next period of time, you should look for the current machine gun patents and see who owns them, and you can buy them. "Li Mu Just say half.
At first, the reason why Carnegie valued Li Mu's screw patents so much was to find a fist product for his own factory. Li Mu also opened a factory and found a fist product.
But Li Mu is not used to buying this way. Like the factory recruitment, the best way is not to import from the outside, but to tap their own potential.
At present, automatic weapons have appeared. For example, the Gatling machine gun is a manual multi-barrel rotating machine gun. This gun can fire 2oo bullets per minute. It is currently the best automatic weapon in the world.
For Li Mu, it is best to buy the Gatling machine gun patent. If not, it doesn't matter. Compared with Gatling, a barrel short rear seat heavy machine gun like the Mark Qin machine gun is the future heavy machine gun. After the opening of Li Mu ’s arsenal, Li Mu can invest in research. In that year, Mark Qin can complete the research of automatic rifles and heavy machine guns in a year. Li Mu believes that he can also, after all, researching heavy machine guns does not need to start from scratch. You can save time by changing your mindset.
"Okay, I'll look back." Henry promised happily, holding a notebook in his hand, recording Li Mu's requirements at any time.
"The patent application is also very important. Smokeless powder must be applied not only in the United States, but also in Europe. You'd better find a few more people and set up a legal department. We will have a lot of patents in the future, and there will definitely be other For economic disputes, it is necessary to establish a legal department. "Li Mu took precautions and already anticipated potential difficulties.
As long as Li Mu ’s arsenal opens, it will definitely violate the interests of some people or a certain group. This is normal. If the arms market around the world is described as a cake, no matter who wants to take a bite, those people on the table Everyone will take a bite, which will definitely cause some people to fight back strongly.
Having said that, Li Mu also has to consider the issue of naturalization. Since Li Mu does not want to return to my Qing to fight for "democracy and freedom" for life, then Li Mu must have a suitable identity so that he can better integrate into the United States.
The issue of nationality is indeed imminent now, and Henry also advised Li Mu: "If you do not object, I would suggest that you become a U.S. citizen, and that would be more convenient. If smokeless gunpowder is really so important, the U.S. government probably will not allow An important piece of this is in the hands of a foreigner. You better decide as soon as possible. Once you become a U.S. citizen, the U.S. government will be your strong backing. No matter who it is, if he violates your interests, then This is a violation of the interests of the U.S. government, and the U.S. government will make every effort to protect your legitimate rights and interests. "
In fact, no matter whether it is patent application or business negotiation with partners, Henry has taken the lead. Li Mu is still a child and a "foreigner", which adds a lot of unnecessary trouble to Henry's work.
"Well, when I return from Pittsburgh, I will become a U.S. citizen." Li Mu was also decisive on this issue.
"It's best before you go to Pittsburgh, if you give me an authorization document, I can have my assistant go to the New York Immigration Department to help you handle this, then when you sign a contract with Carnegie, you can I believe that the benefits of having US citizenship are beyond me. "Henry was more anxious than Li Mu.
Okay, join in.
