The first time Jimmy knew the news, he sent experienced cowboys to search the area shown by Tom.

The search results showed that last night, some people did conduct a reconnaissance in the temporary camp. Broken grass stalks on the ground, blurred footprints by the river, and temporary paths opened in the jungle confirmed this.

Jimmy praised Tom and gave him a hundred dollars as a reward for Tom's loyalty, but he was not arranged for an ambush. Instead, he threw some food in the place where the trace was found. Jimmy believes that if someone comes again, he will definitely Feel the "goodwill" of the mercenaries.

Yes, it is good intentions. Although Li Mu's order is full of malice, although Jimmy is essentially fishing for long fish, Jimmy will restrain himself until he finds the old nest of the indigenous tribe.

What's more, there must be more than one indigenous tribe on the Jurassic Island. There may be dozens, maybe hundreds of them. To move all these indigenous tribes from the depths of the mountains, Jimmy needs a part of the indigenous people as an internal response. Otherwise, this Work could last for decades, and Jimmy didn't waste that much time on the Jurassic Island.

Everyone's time was very tight. After returning to China, Lei Haobo sent 150 people to Luzon for training in three days, while hiring 500 people from the Far East Company to the Qing Empire.

"Here, as many people as you want, choose the best manpower, and at the same time be equipped with the best weapons. Remember, find Lei Haobo for a good price." Li Mu supports Lei Haobo and spares no effort in front of the country. Li Mu can still make a distinction.

"Rim, our best manpower has already been sent to Jurassic Island, so ... I can only send white mercenaries to the Qing Empire as much as possible, this will be somewhat useful, although I'm not sure." Steven has no one to send, Li Mu has too many staff recently, and Steven is also a clever woman.

It is funny to say that in the Qing Empire, although the Qing government did not classify people into three, six or nine, in fact, in the Qing Empire, foreigners were first-class people, banner people were second-class people, Mongolians, and other ethnic minorities were The third class, the Hans are the fourth class, so sending white mercenaries to the Qing empire has many advantages. At least, no matter what those white mercenaries do, the Qing government will not launch a siege in the first place. It is necessary to find out the mercenaries. Who is it for?

This is the sorrow of ignorance!

"Mainly in the direction of the Qing Empire. If necessary, deploy staff from the Jurassic Islands to the Qing Empire. In addition, if there is insufficient staff, you can recruit from the United States. The First Cavalry Division and the Navy retire soldiers and officers every year. As long as they are paid enough, they will not refuse to come to the Far East. "Li Mu's methods are still many, and it is still a matter of money. As long as he does not worry about the cost, how many mercenaries are required, it is ridiculous. Far East Some of them are from the Royal Navy. They are equally loyal to the Far East Company.

No, it should be said that they are loyal to money.

"Yes Mr. Riem, I will send a telegram to New York immediately, but even sooner, the first batch of reinforcements will arrive in the Far East in one month." Steven was afraid to pack tickets, Li Mu spent money generously, but spent it For every penny, the financial department will conduct the most stringent audit, so this is not a good job. Objectively, Far East companies have stricter regulations than the Ministry of War.

Violation of the provisions of the Ministry of War, at most they are ordered to retire, or may be tried by military courts. Under normal circumstances, violations of military discipline by military personnel are reduced to minor and minor matters, and there will be no severe punishment.

Violating the Far East Company ’s regulations will end up being far worse. Far East Company does not have a military court. Under normal circumstances, mercenaries who violate the military discipline will not be given the opportunity to defend. Mercenaries will not even have the opportunity to complain. Don't make it too easy, you won't even violate any procedures, you will be able to suffocate your name.

"It doesn't matter, Lei Haobo will not immediately raise an anti-flag. At least Lei Haobo will not have action until the 150 people have finished training." Li Mu is not anxious, Lei Haobo is not stupid, first All of Lunbo ’s old families or family members who were sent to Luzon for training were already relocating to Luzon, and they certainly would not betray Lei Haobo.

According to the regulations of Lei Haobo and the Far East Company, next, Lei Haobo will send four groups to Luzon for training, with a total population of about 1,000.

The Far East Company is responsible for the training of these people and their future equipment. Lei Haobo did not pay the Far East Company cash. Instead, he used the taxes of the Guangdong and Guangxi Customs as collateral, and loaned 35 million US dollars from the Bank of America to these 1,000 people. Training, and later support of Lei Haobo by the Far East Company.

It sounds a lot, but it's normal, because the benefit is always proportional to the risk. If Lei Haobo succeeds in rebellion, then Lei Haobo owes the Far East company a large amount of money, but If Lei Haobo fails, okay, this money is equivalent to water, so it ’s normal to be a bit expensive, and it ’s normal to have a higher interest rate. Bank of America is not a philanthropist, nor is it live **. Bank of America opened its eyes to Lei Haobo.

Of course, Li Mu will not spend all his efforts to scrape money from Lei Haobo. According to the agreement between Far East Company and Lei Haobo, Far East Company will assist Lei Haobo in the future to establish a completely modernized customs. Far East Company will send a considerable amount of money. The number of management personnel, financial personnel, and training personnel. The biggest role of these people is to check all the gray income in the customs. According to Li Mu's prediction, within 10 years at most, the extra income from the modern management of the customs alone will Enough Lei Haobo to repay the debt owed by Bank of America.

When sending mercenaries to the Qing Empire, Li Mu was ready to completely turn his face with the Qing government. Sure enough, when the first batch of mercenaries went to the Qing Empire, the Far East Company had a first conflict with the Qing government.

The first batch of mercenaries landed in Ningbo. It is a sad fact that the mercenaries of the Far East Company landed in Ningbo, and did not even use the Qing government's dock, but landed in Ningbo from the dock of Qichang Steamship Company.

Qichang Steamship Company is an American company. In 1862, Qichang Steamship Company built a terminal in Ningbo and opened the Shanghai-Shenzhen steamship route. This terminal and route promoted the development of Ningbo to a certain extent. However, the dumping of western goods and the corruption of officials As a result, Ningbo's social contradictions have become increasingly intensified. In the deliberate control of the Qing government, all these contradictions have been laid on the head of Qichang Shipping Company, which has nothing to do with the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government.

The mercenaries landed in the Qing empire and were taken very seriously by the Qing government.

Previously, although the Pacific Company carried out large-scale immigration in the Yangtze River Basin, it did not attract the attention of the Qing government at the beginning. Even at the beginning of the immigration, the Pacific company also received the cooperation of the Qing government, because some officials of the Qing Empire believed that Reducing the Qing's exiles objectively can help the Qing empire to reduce hidden dangers and thus maintain the rule of the Qing empire. Therefore, during the initial period, the Pacific company's immigration behavior was supported by the Qing empire.

Times have changed, as the status of Chinese Americans in the United States has gradually improved, and the first batch of Chinese graduates with higher education are about to leave the school, the Qing Empire began to pay more attention to the immigration of Pacific companies. The reason was also to maintain the rule of the Qing government, because At this time, most officials believed that the increasing number of Chinese with higher education was not conducive to the rule of the Qing Empire. Su Zian Li Mu did not agree that these Chinese with higher education returned to the Qing Empire at this stage, but among them There will always be some people who think of their home country, which brings more and more hidden dangers to the Qing government.

Therefore, the current Qing government is opposed to the immigration of Pacific companies. The Qing government does not want too many Chinese to receive higher education. If possible, the Qing government hopes that all Chinese cannot receive education. In this way, the Qing government They can continue to carry out their plan for fools and maintain their decaying rule.

Probably from last year, the Qing government ’s attitude toward Pacific companies began to change. Now hundreds of Far East company gunmen have landed from Ningbo, and they have received more attention from the Qing government. The Qing government even sent a telegram to Washington to protest the Far East company. Mercenaries were dispatched to the Qing Empire territory, and Washington was required to restrain the Far East Company and remove all mercenaries who landed from Ningbo.

"You mean, the Qing government sent a telegram to Washington?" Li Mu couldn't believe it. The reaction of the Qing government was unexpected but reasonable.

Objectively speaking, Li Mu hopes that the Qing government will be more aggressive, so that Li Mu may give a glance to the rulers of the Qing Dynasty.

Unfortunately, the reaction of the Qing government disappointed Li Mu. What is protest?

There is no actual action, only a shotgun is a protest!

Li Mu will not do this, so after receiving the confirmation of Situ Lei, Li Mu immediately asked Situ Lei to send a telegram to the Ningbo shipping company: "Tell them that the mercenaries landing in Ningbo have nothing to do with our Far East company, and more with Washington It doesn't matter. Far East is a mercenary company. Whoever gives more money will serve the Far East. The mercenaries' landing in Ningbo is purely a commercial act. This is in line with the spirit of the contract and the commitment of Far East to customers. "

Li Mu did not want to explain too much to the Qing government. It is estimated that it was difficult for the Qing government to understand the "contract spirit", so Li Mu did not hold much hope. It was just an excuse. What should Lei Haobo do? It will not be affected.

What surprised Li Mu was that on the third day after the telegram was sent out, Cheng Ye suddenly came to Manila to see Li Mu.

Cheng Ye had dealt with the Steed Weapon Company before. Li Mu knew that Cheng Ye was an aide of a governor of the Qing Empire. At this time, Cheng Ye should be responsible for some tasks.

"Mr. Riem, I'm very glad to meet you." After Cheng Li met Li Mu, he used fluent English to greet Li Mu, which showed how much Cheng Cheng's attitude, Cheng Ye, and the governor behind Cheng Ye treated Li Mu as an American. There are no other factors.

It ’s okay, do n’t pull the relationship, do n’t pull a strip of water, and the entire interest relationship is more in line with Li Mu ’s positioning for himself.

Well, since it's a pure business relationship, Li Mu doesn't need to behave, so after Cheng Yi said hello, Li Mu just nodded slightly, sitting in a chair and not even getting up. This attitude should be arrogant enough.

It ’s also normal. Li Mu is the owner of Junma Group and one of the two trust companies in the United States. He can sit on the same footing with Li Muping. In fact, there are really few people. The Governor personally came to see Li Mu, so he was eligible for equal treatment.

Send an aide, come on, right?

Seeing Li Mu's so rude behavior, Cheng Ye was also surprised. If he didn't process it, he would be relatively capable of self-adjustment. He would adjust his emotions soon.

"Mr. Riem, I would like to know, if you want to withdraw the mercenaries, what kind of conditions do you want? If I can, I can also sign a contract with the Far East Company. Money, I can pay twice the price. "Cheng Yancai was very rough, this is to kill Li Mu with money.

"Hehe, Mr. Cheng, you are not trying to buy the contract between Lei Haobo and the Far East Company. You are trying to buy the reputation of the Far East Company ... What is the value of the reputation of the Far East Company?" Li Mu laughed, estimating Cheng Yi Not enough price.

Will Li Mu be short of money?

Just kidding, how much does the Qing Empire earn for a year?

About 60 million silver.

How much money does Steed Horse Group make in a year?

Don't look at this year's financial statements that have not been finalized. For the time being, the annual revenue of Junma Group in 1878 has exceeded 200 million US dollars. This is a net income, not a gross profit, nor a total asset value. To kill Li Mu with money, it is estimated that the Qing government must smash the pot to sell iron. It is probably not enough to rely on Cheng Ye or someone behind Cheng Ye.

Li Mu also said this in English. Before he finished speaking, Rockefeller sitting next to Li Mu burst into tears and killed Li Mu with money. Even Washington didn't dare to think so. What Cheng Cheng said was to Rockefeller. It's a complete joke.

"Do n’t laugh, are you funny? Come on, tell me, how much is my stake in Mobil Oil?" Li Mu did n’t want to talk about Junma Group. That did n’t make sense, probably beyond the scope of Cheng Yi ’s understanding. Petroleum said that things were all right, so Cheng Yi is better at understanding.

"What? Do you want to sell Mobil ’s shares? Sell it to me! How much are you asking for, 100 million dollars is enough?" Rockefeller is very cooperative, and not entirely joking, if Li Mu really wants to sell Mobil ’s Shares, Rockefeller will really buy.

You can buy even the highest price.
