What was the most profitable United States in the nineteenth century?

It is not the sale of arms or the pouring of oil, but the Europeans who fled to the United States looking for opportunities.

The "looking for opportunities" here does not mean survival, but investment. After hundreds of years of colonial accumulation in Europe, there are so many rich people who have nowhere to spend money. The reason why the United States has an economic crisis every ten years In fact, this is an unspoken game. During each economic crisis, stocks will plummet. A group of people will lose their underpants, and then the stock market will rise. Fresh blood will enter the market. It is another game of capital harvesting. Downwinds and strengths along the way, basically can be said to stand on the corpses of the rich men of the old continent.

Li Mu's unanimous foreign policy refers to those who have fled to invest in Europe. This is not difficult. Americans have become familiar with it. All countries in the world want to develop the Qing Dynasty market, but they have encountered the same problems as Standard Oil. The Qing people who have the ability to consume do not have to buy modern industrial products, and the Qing people who do not have the ability to buy cannot afford them at all, so the most important question is how to convince the Europeans that Li Mu and Rockefeller have the ability to develop the Qing market.

"I said, if we set up a new company in the name of Standard Petroleum, then this company is different from the traditional industry in terms of operating projects. Qingguo does not need oil or wool. Qingguo needs modern products that they cannot produce. Industrial products, such as household products made of stainless steel, which will never rust, and exquisite watches that cannot be artificially manufactured by the Qing Dynasty craftsmanship, and automobiles that represent the highest level of industrial technology, these things are the keys to open the Qing Dynasty market. "Li Mu has never underestimated the purchasing power of the Qing Dynasty. Those landlords and riches have reached the point where they can make silver" helpless "in order to save money. How could there be no money? It is only because there is nothing in the market that they desperately need, that silver exists in the cellar and cannot function.

In fact, when it comes to the technical level of craftsmen, European craftsmen and Qingguo craftsmen are not at all a level. The best-selling foreign trade product in the Qing Dynasty has always been handicrafts. Therefore, foreigners wanting to open the Qingguo market with handicrafts are dreaming. Li Mu and those Foreigners who do not understand the Qing Dynasty are different. The goal is on industrial products that cannot be produced by the Qing Dynasty. Basically, there is no substitute for these things in the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the Qing Dynasty market can definitely be opened.

An obvious reality, whether it is stainless steel or automobiles, is produced by Junma Group or related companies of Junma Group. Even Europeans must import stainless steel products and cars from the United States. Of course, it is the same in Qingguo. Maybe someone in Qingguo Selling these goods, but their cost is not comparable to Li Mu, Li Mu can rely on dumping, open the Qingguo market in a short time.

Anyway, there is no anti-dumping investigation this year. No one cares if one is willing to buy and sell.

"It sounds great, but don't you think it's too much? The products you just listed are all produced by the Steed Group. What does this have to do with Standard Oil?" Rockefeller was not fooled. Li Mu said for a long time that he wanted Rockefeller to give Li Mu is working too much.

"How can you blame me? I can only say that your staff will not market. Obviously oil lamps have better economics than candles, but no one is interested in Qing Dynasty. You should find problems from yourself." Li Mu knows Standard Oil The reason why the Qing Dynasty market could not be opened, but Li Mu could not help it.

The oil lamp cannot be sold because there is a candle to replace it. Perhaps Rockefeller should pin his hope on Li Mu. As long as Li Mu can sell more cars in Qing Dynasty, at least Mobil Oil can open the Qing Dynasty market.

To be honest, if it wasn't for Li Mu's blacklist on the Qing government, Li Mu would not need to find anyone to complete the development of the Qing Dynasty market. Anyway, the products produced by the Junma Group basically have no substitutes in the Qing Dynasty, so even if The large-scale entry of the Junma Group's products into the Qing Dynasty will not have much impact on the economic system of the Qing Dynasty.

"Help me think of a way. As long as you help me, I will help you." Rockefeller is relying on Li Mu. Although this behavior is not friendly, it also fully proves that Rockefeller trusts Li Mu's ability very much.

"What can I do, unless you make the oil lamp cheaper than the candle, and then someone will buy the lamp oil." Li Mu is helpless, the lamp oil is indeed more economical than the candle, but the oil lamp is more expensive than the candle Too many, in total, not many people are willing to buy oil lamps.

The key reason why oil lamps are more expensive is that oil lamps cannot be produced locally in the Qing Dynasty and must be imported from the United States, so the price will remain high.

Rockefeller also wanted to produce oil lamps on the spot in the Qing Dynasty, but it was not easy to set up a factory in the Qing Dynasty. Although the Qing Dynasty lost the Opium War, it has not yet completely conceded. Even in another time and space, it will be after the Eight-Power Allied Forces invade China. Only in the Qing state can do whatever they want.

"You help me find a way, I know you must have a way." Rockefeller recognized that Li Mu would definitely solve this problem. This problem is not resolved, and other matters have not been discussed.

In fact, Li Mu is not helpless. There is definitely a cost to developing the market. In Li Mu ’s view, costs are those oil lamps. Rockefeller ’s men do n’t know how to deal with the Qing people. Li Mu is a doorman. Otherwise, the Pacific company will not With so much energy in the Qing Dynasty, it is not that Junma Group has given enough support to Pacific Company, but that Pacific Company has used the right method.

When dealing with Chinese, it is best to leave it to the Chinese. Rockefeller's men can't do it. Maybe a group of local tyrants and gentry can easily do it. Finding agents in the Qing Dynasty is easy. The Chinese population base is too large. Some people always don't mind the willingness of ethnic nations to cooperate with foreigners.

"Well, I will help you solve this problem, you will solve the expenses." Li Mu decided to help Rockefeller. Although this will definitely have a great impact on the candle industry in Qing Dynasty, it may not be a bad thing for the Chinese. The period of social transformation Well, to accept new things, some pains are always unavoidable.

With Rockefeller in place, Li Mu focused his training on Yan Shun.

Rebellion is not a very simple matter. Looking at how many times the other Father of Time and Space failed, you will know how dangerous such a rebellion is. In the same year, the founding father was still completely disappointed with the Qing government throughout the country. After so many twists and turns, the Qing government still has some luck. What Yan Shun has to go through will only be more difficult than the founding father of another spacetime.

Of course, Yan Shun has much more resources than another Sun Yat-sen founder. At least Li Mu and the Steed Group are backing up. Yan Shun can easily pull up a mercenary team without raising funds everywhere. This was the experience that the founding father did not get until his death.

The political power comes out of the gun. This sentence is a well-known saying no matter when it is. The founding father experienced so many twists and turns that year, because he did not have his own armed forces in the hand. Those who dare to fight will not have so many twists and turns.

This problem is much simpler in Yan Shun. The Steed Weapons Company can make guns and cannons. The Far East Company has a large number of experienced instructors. Japan under Tokugawa's words can provide enough mercenaries. Yan Shun does not even You need to hire someone in the United States. It is enough to go to Ryukyu alone. Li Mu will prepare everything for Yan Shun.

Of course, all of this is not free. Just like in the plan of Li Mu and Rockefeller, the things that Li Mu prepared for Yan Shun are the investments of Li Mu and Rockefeller in Yan Shun. After Yan Shun's rebellion is successful, Li Mu and Rockefeller want to For collecting profits, as for Yan Shun's failure--

Well, how could Yan Shun fail? If this is the case, Yan Shun can't do the Qing government, then Yan Shun is still the secretary of Li Mu honestly.

"Tiger, I need some reliable professional officers. I don't need to have too high a position, and I don't need to be too strong, but loyalty must be guaranteed." Li Mu did not have to look for Will this time. Just look for Yan Hu, Yan Hu It has been determined to go to Vladivostok. At that time, it is possible to meet Yanshun in Vladivostok. Even if Yanshun officially rebels, the Qing government cannot go to Vladivostok to capture Yanshun. This is the greatest guarantee for Yanshun's safety.

History is always surprisingly similar. When the founding father returned to the country to rebel, he could only escape the hunting of the Qing government again and again by bearing the golden signboard of "Americans". This is understandable. The old father can share with others, as long as he can succeed, it is beautiful talk.

"Well, Leo has decided to return to China?" Yan Hu is still unclear about Yan Shun's decision. Yan Hu has been in the army for years, and his influence on Yan Shun is getting smaller and smaller.

This is a good thing. If Yan Shun grows up, Yan Hu ’s influence on Yan Shun does not diminish and increase, then Yan Shun may not be able to do it even if he returns to the Qing Dynasty. Those who do not only have to stick to the bar, but also Have independent personality, decisive thinking, firm goals, and constantly improve their ability. If you can't do this, you must accept the arrangements of life quietly. Those who always feel bad for the times, put them at any time. It wo n’t succeed. Wolfs eat thousands of miles, and dogs eat thousands of miles. As long as they have the characteristics that a successful person should have, they will not be too bad at any time.

"Yes, we haven't done anything. Leo would like to try it." Li Mu supports Yan Shun because of this. In fact, Yan Shun could have had a good time in the United States, but Yan Shun was willing to return. In the Qing Dynasty adventure, Li Mu could not do this, but Li Mu would not hinder Yan Shun's pursuit of ideals.

Speaking of rebellion, in fact, Yan Hu should be more suitable. After all, Yan Hu is a professional soldier. He has never relaxed his improvement of his quality in recent years. Just last year, Yan Hu successfully obtained a diploma from the US Army Military Academy. This school It is the famous West Point Military Academy.

"What time? It is better to wait some time. Next year, we will have more people graduate from the military academy. I know that many of them want to return to China." Yan Hu hopes that when Yan Shun leaves, he will have more protection. It is clear that the graduates of West Point Military Academy are more trustworthy.

There are many Chinese in the First Cavalry Division. This unit was based on the Chinese army established by Li Mu in Cuba. After returning to the United States, many of them directly joined the First Cavalry Division. In these years, the first cavalry division The division will send outstanding soldiers to study in the military academy, among which there are many Chinese, and now there are more graduates of the junior school attached to the military academy. It is said that nearly 10% of the students in the military academy are Chinese, it is certain The Chinese are a force that cannot be ignored in the future of the US Army.

Opportunities to enter the military academy are rare. The graduates who graduate each year are the targets of the Department of War and the National Guard of the states. The size of the US Army will increase in the future. Those graduates have a bright future, but Like Yan Shun, there will definitely be people willing to give up all of this and return to Qing Dynasty, and do something for the Chinese of Qing Dynasty, whether Li Mu or Yan Hu, very support this behavior.

In fact, even if it is selected among the current soldiers, some people are willing to return to Qing Dynasty with Yan Shun, but this year's situation is a bit special, because the establishment of Vladivostok and the U.S. Army is in the state of expansion, so last year's graduates have been divided up. Yan Hu did not want to disrupt the current situation, which would cause dissatisfaction with the Ministry of War, which might cause very serious consequences.

Yan Hu's worry is justified. Even if the Ministry of War does not oppose Li Mu's support for Yan Shun, that is also based on the premise that Li Mu's support does not endanger the interests of the Ministry of War. The previous several times Li Mu supported Bai Qi and established the Far East Company. Once the manpower was transferred from the First Cavalry Division, the War Department did not interfere at that time because the War Department did not have so many positions to house so many officers. This degree of adjustment is to reduce the trouble for the War Department, so the War Department does not interfere. Similarly, Vladivostok requires a large number of officers, and any method of inciting active officers to retire is digging a corner of the Ministry of War.

"Of course it wo n’t be now, but it wo n’t be until next year. Leo will go to Ryukyu first. I have sent a telegram to Bai Qi, let Bai Qi put the shelf up first, and when Leo arrives in Ryukyu, he will immediately hire someone from Japan. The training was given to the instructors of the Far East Company, so this is a good opportunity. In the United States, wanting to become a general has to slowly gain qualifications. Returning to the Qing Dynasty is not the same. Wanting to be a general is very simple. Fight a few battles. Even Marshal is not difficult. "Li Mu Xu Yili, soldiers who do not want to be generals are not good soldiers, and the Qing Dynasty has a lot of opportunities, do not believe those people do not mind.
