In Chinese history, the intellectuals and the scholar-official class were linked. The scholar-class class was the ruling class, so becoming an intellectual means joining the ruling class.
China ’s history has been governing society by people, and the social status of the ruling class is self-evident. Even Qipinzhi County is the “parent officer” of ordinary people. For example, “imperial nobles” like Li Mu who want to receive Western education have even more promise.
So you can understand the mood of the old Yantou family.
Unfortunately, the hopes of Lao Yantou and their family are doomed. Li Mu will definitely not return to the Qing Empire. The Lao Yantou and their family will not be able to enjoy the ascension of one person brought by Li Mu as an "empire upstart."
There is no need for Li Mu to talk to Lao Yantou clearly. Their vision will always improve with the improvement of their own cultivation. According to the plan of the Qing government, Li Mu will spend more than ten years in the United States. After waiting for more than ten years, Lao Yantou had become accustomed to living in the United States, and even if Li Mu wanted to return to the Qing Empire, Lao Yantou would be reluctant.
The "slave" status of Lao Yantou's family was only useful in the Qing Empire. In the United States, Lao Yantou's Li Mu had no legal fetters. They had at most an employment relationship with Li Mu, so there was no subsidiary relationship, so Li Mu didn't mean to let the old Yantou family be cattle and horses. This would make the old Yantou family more loyal to Li Mu.
At this stage, Li Mu's promise is still very valuable. When the old Yan family returns, they will immediately enter the role. Li Mu is steadily asked by her mother to be out of the bedroom. With her 10,000-dollar lady, she started a thorough sanitary work. Her 10,000-dollar her father and her two elder brothers were loyal and faithful in the corridor of the ship's rail behind Li Mu. Of course, the position of the station was also particular. Yan Hu and Yan Shun are standing on the sides of Li Mu and Mike separately. Yan Hu is standing on the side of Mike. This has a double meaning. It protects Li Mu and monitors Mike. The old Yan head is standing behind Li Mu and holding his hands low. Eyebrows are pleasing to the ears, and the standard close-fitting butler is acting.
Although Lao Yantou wanted to make a steward's posture as much as possible, the movement of lowering his eyebrows to close his shoulders and slumping his waist was still full of insignificance, which made Li Mu very helpless.
This is also the national condition of the Qing Empire. Even Lao Zheng, who is next to the fat man, is strictly speaking a servant of the fat man's family. Although his status is definitely higher than that of the old Yantou family, he is also killed if the owner is unhappy. This is not so high, which leads to the slaves generally lacking self-esteem and self-confidence, and it is normal to pose in such a manner.
But Li Mu was not used to it, so Li Mu decided to ask the etiquette teacher for the old Yantou family in New England, which is even more important than the language teacher.
Uh, it's almost all important, please take it together.
The change of the Lao Yantou family is seen in Mike's eyes, and it is even more surprising to Mike. Although Mike does not know what Li Mu did to the Lao Yantou family, it is obvious to Mike that Li Mu is now the Lao Yantou family. The focus of people is that the Lao Yantou family will protect Li Mu like their own family members, even the kind of protection that is spared by throwing their heads and blood.
"It's incredible. There are so many secrets in you that will always be surprising." Mike shook his head and sighed.
"Everyone has a secret-" Li Mu didn't want to talk more about this issue, and dragged the topic to the drawings that Mike bought: "What are you going to do next? Hold the drawings to apply for a patent, and then buy someone and then charge them continuously. Royalties? "
What Li Mu said was the normal approach. If it was not time-critical and heavy, Li Mu had planned to do the same.
"No, no, that doesn't maximize the benefits. I want to open a weapon factory yourself. Now that you are proficient in weapons, you should know the profits." Mike has a bigger appetite than Li Mu imagined and is not satisfied with patents. It's a little profit to use the rope.
"You want to be an arms dealer? This is a very good ideal." Li Mu fully affirmed.
"Of course, you are from the Qing empire. You should know the status of the Qing empire. No matter how many weapons there are, you can sell a good price in the Qing empire—" Mike said in detail.
In fact, not only the Qing Empire, but the entire Far East, and even the entire world, the need for weapons is urgent, because the clouds of war are shrouded in every corner of the world. In this world, there is almost no royal land.
The most urgent thing in East Asia is the arms race between Japan and the Qing Empire. Since the Meiji Restoration of Japan, Japan's national strength has risen rapidly, and the demand for modern weapons is urgent.
Relatively speaking, the Qing empire was more urgent. Although the Qing empire had also engaged in the Westernization Movement for more than ten years, it has not seen results at present, and the Qing empire has more troops, so it needs more weapons.
The situation in Europe is equally serious. The contradiction between the imperialist countries headed by Germany, Austria-Hungary and Russia and the democracies headed by Britain and France is becoming increasingly irreconcilable. Almost two years later, Germany The Austro-Hungarian Empire and Russia will form a "three imperial alliance", which will be the embryonic form of a military bloc, and its continued development is a world war.
In Mike ’s eyes, although Li Mu has many secrets, after all, it is from the ancient and closed country of the Qing Empire, so he does not necessarily have a clear understanding of the situation in East Asia, let alone Europe. Mike does not even think that Li Mu knows the specific location of Europe. .
Li Mu did not show up. He only suggested to Mike from a friend's standpoint: "Then you must pay attention to the application of new technologies. If you do well, you have the opportunity to become part of those famous families."
The family history of the United States is enough to write a novel. No, it is enough to write many novels. It can be said that the United States is a country controlled by a consortium. The American president on the stage is a cover. The consortia behind the scenes determine American policy. Decision maker.
Li Mu's ideal is to be part of the "behind the scenes."
Mike valued Li Mu's opinion, and even brought a little flattering meaning in his tone: "So I want to make a good relationship with you. If there are similar drawings, we can continue to cooperate and I will give you a price that is satisfactory to you."
See, when you do n’t ask Li Mu, you use “you”, when you ask Li Mu, you use “you”. This Yankee is also hypocritical.
"The drawings are definitely there, but it won't be the price of five hundred dollars anymore. You should know that you have taken advantage of this cooperation." Li Mu is not polite, and he will foresee the future price increases.
"Ha ha ha ha-no problem, as long as I can afford it, I will definitely meet your requirements, and even let you become a shareholder of the company is no problem." Mike Dafang, this is the meaning of inviting Li Mu to join the stock.
Being an arms dealer should also be very provocative, and the profit is not less than that of real estate.
