PS: Today is the first update! By the way, where is the collection?

New York in summer is particularly lively at night. The streets are crowded with people coming and going, and horse-drawn carriages and cable cars shuttle between them. The gas lamps on both sides are more like fireflies waving their tails desperately in the night sky, adding dazzling brilliance to this emerging metropolis.
This is New York, the bright Big Apple City on the Atlantic coast!
Even at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the air of the city was still full of luxury, bars, theaters, all kinds of restaurants, and the famous Broadway. The fast-paced dance music echoed in the night sky like the speed of the city's development.
Looking at the flowers outside the window, Li Enfu couldn't calm down. He had to turn his head and bite his lips. Thomas, who seemed to be smiling, jumped up and down!
"Dear Li, do you really stop thinking about it?" Thomas was dressed in a neat dress, his hair was combed like waxed, and his red eyes surrounded Master Li like a combed red-headed fly.
Master Li held his chin and ignored him. He just looked at the nameplate on the table in the room in a daze.
"Square Hotel?"
He is too familiar with this restaurant, or he is too strange!
Although Li Mo passed by New York many times in his previous life, he was very familiar with this century-old restaurant, because when the hotel celebrated his centenary birthday that year, he happened to be on a business trip to the United States. At that time, major TV stations in the United States broadcast live and invited many celebrities, so he was very impressed.
But it is because it is too familiar that it feels more strange. It is reasonable that this financial tycoon Bernhard. Bainek and hotel operator Fred. Stry and their good friend Harry. Black was co-invested by the famous architect Henry. Hardenberg was designed and built in the French Renaissance style. The famous hotel, which lasted for two years, opened on October 1, 1907. Even if there were two years of construction before, it should not have appeared in 1891!
No!
Li Mo shook his head. Although he had never lived in the square restaurant, he still knew the general appearance. The design and size of the building in front of him could not be compared with the memory, and the main body of the building was still very new. At first glance, it had just opened for a few years. Could it be said that the tycoons had crossed in front of him?
Looking at the nameplate in a daze, Li Mo couldn't figure it out, but whether it was the luxurious decoration of the room in front of him or the bright electric light when he first stepped into the hotel, he told him that he had no dreamed. It seemed that the reputation of this square hotel was not much less than that one in his impression.
Especially the electric lights dotted all over the hotel, even Li Mo can't help but light up. In today's era when gas lamps still dominate, electric lights are valuable and new things. Even though Edison began to sell light bulbs in 1880, the application of electricity has just begun, especially the famous DC. The battle between electricity and alternating current has also directly led two famous scientists to spit on each other.
But what do you see now? The lights used in this old hotel are all electric lights! It's like when you saw a building in China in the 1980s decorate the night view of a building with a gorgeous laser curtain!
The eyes are all blurred!
As soon as he saw the electric light, Master Li remembered the guy who was amazing and created an era in the electromagnetic field. He was nicknamed a monster and a future traveler by netizens, but was sealed all his personal files by the FBI after his death!
"I don't know how long it will take for Duan Fei to find him!" Thinking of the list given to Duan Fei a few days ago, Li Mo sucked his nose.
Fortunately, Master Li is also an elegant man who used to live in the nightly sky. After a moment of distraction, he soon returned to normal. Li Enfu and Zhang Shun, who have been in the United States for many years, also know the electric lights. Only Du Dazhuang stared at the light bulb with his cow's eyes, as if he couldn't figure out why that thing was holding the lamp. The line will shine.
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Thomas immediately changed his face: "Li, you can't do this. In the face of our friends for many years, why don't we only sell gold?"
Master Li turned his head and stared at Thomas's letter suit, which he was even jealous of, thinking about whether he would strip him naked now and let him [***] host the auction?!
"[***] Auction?! Grandma, that's a good idea! It should be in the headlines tomorrow. If you don't advertise on his stomach, it won't be in vain!" Master Li looked at Thomas's stomach, looked left and right, and couldn't make up his mind for a moment.
Thomas is a little guilty. Anyone who is stared at by a small man for a long time will get goose bumps, but he still doesn't give up. That's a gold mine! Even the smallest of the three can now produce three tons of gold every year! What's more, after this auction is over and the scale of mining is expanded, there can be five tons of gold every year!
A gold mine with an annual output of five tons! That's **. How can you say you can sell it?" Li, I solemnly protest to you. As the second largest shareholder of the gold mine, I have decided to use the veto to prohibit..."
"The veto power? Get out of here!" Master Li hates to hear this word the most. I don't know why he remembered that later generations used this American emperor who threatened other countries. Isn't this eye medicine for the young master who planned the Pacific Ocean?
Kick this noisy guy: "A gold mine can be comparable to ten gold mines?" Master Li said with a long heart and continued to fool: "What we need now is capital, a large amount of capital, and then use it to make new investments."
"New investment? Ten gold mines!" Thinking of Master Li's magical spell of drawing circles on the map, Thomas's eyes turned green. He got up and rushed to Li Mo and gritted his teeth: "Li, what you said is true!"
Master Li blinked his eyes: "Don't you believe me? Then I'll do it by myself."
"No way!" Thomas was so angry that you did it alone. What should I do? He quickly roared, "Li, don't want to leave me. I want 15% of the shares this time, and I also have to learn magic!" Haha..." .
"Idiot." Master Li rolled his eyes and raised his hand: "Five! Do you want to love it?
Li Enfu looked at the living treasure next to him and shook his head with a smile. Although he also heard of Li Mo's magic, he sneered at the spells in Thomas's mouth. This thing was obviously taken out by the young master to fool people, but Thomas, a well-educated guy, still hung it in his mouth every day. I just came to prove it to myself!
"One is willing to fight, the other is willing to be beaten, a fucking pair of monsters!" Li Dawen couldn't help swearing.

Jesi. Li. Vermore
Andrew. Carnegie.
Edward. H. Harriman.
Morgan.
Rockefeller.
......
Because he didn't want to be exposed to the spotlight too early, Master Li didn't have the chance to go downstairs to meet the famous super-rich in person, but when he stood on the window sill of the room and saw the names of the downstairs entering from the carriage and stepping on the red carpet one by one, he was still in a trance.
These people, together with the consortium oligarchs behind them, have ruled the United States in this era. Even a hundred years later, their names will be mentioned from time to time, becoming the idols of every young man who dreams of starting a business!
These people, they are the darlings of this era. Some rely on diligence, some rely on luck, and some rely on smart means, but no matter what they rely on, they are standing at the peak of this era!
They are super rich!
No, it should be said to be a fat sheep, super fat sheep!
The steel trust of steel tycoon Carnegie alone had a total output value of 50 million US dollars last year, as well as oil tycoons, railway tycoons, banking oligarchs...
God, the total value of these people downstairs is more than one billion!
This is not the 21st century when US dollars flooded like papyrus. The US dollar at the end of the 19th century is very, very valuable! If it hadn't been for keeping a low profile, Master Li would have wanted to rush downstairs and ask them to write their names on the signature book, and then pass them on to his grandson's grandson for auction for a hundred years!
What a lot of money!
"Mr. Li, why didn't you think of this prodigal Thomas to auction the invitation first? With so many rich people, they have a lot of income!" Master Li turned his head and shouted with an unhappy face.
Li Enfu blushed and made money by selling invitations? This has not happened since ancient times!
Du Dazhuang and Zhang Shun couldn't help but feel ashamed of the young master's idea and decided to turn their heads and ignore the young master. Although most of the people below don't know each other, as long as you look at Li Enfu's grip on the window sill and his green fingers, you will know that these guys are amazing.
Looking at these guys who can catch a cold in the American financial world with a sneeze, the corners of Li Enfu's mouth are more and more amazing. Even if he knows Li Mo and Thomas's plan, he can imagine what a feast it is.
What made him even more excited was that he planned this auction and attracted so many celebrities. He was by his side, and he was only fifteen years old!
Sixteen! Use virtual age, or you will have to eat apples a year later!
"By the way, the two apples at home are more and more attractive! Tut-t-t..." Master Li drooled and waved his hand to count.
beside him, Zhang Shun is already dazzled. Although he doesn't know how much money the people below have, at least he has followed Thomas for so long, often going to luxury places, and his eyesight is still a little strong.
"Brother Shunzi, how much do you think you can pay for the auction tonight? The young master said that he was waiting to pay for the warship. Du Dazhuang didn't dare to ask the young master, so he had to hit Zhang Shun's shoulder.
"In my opinion." Zhang Shun pretended to think about it and stretched out five fingers.
"500,000 US dollars?"
"Hmm, boy, you are worthy of following the young master, and you also know how to settle accounts in US dollars. Unlike Li Qiang, who are stupid, who know silver and silver." Zhang Shun raised his thumb and said, "At least add another number."
"Five million!" Da Zhuang's eyes were straight, and the young master broke his fingers: "How much steak do I have to buy!"
"Gunnie! The steak is delicious!" Zhang Shun really wants to kick this big guy. Does the steak count as money? What a shame!" It's delicious." Du Dazhuang nodded, and then his face was full of anger: "It's just that the foreign cooks are always not cooked, which makes my teeth bad."
"Is it cooked? Say it!" Master Li kicked the guy who didn't know how to enjoy it and slapped Zhang Shun down: "I told Thomas that there are no 50 million, and his shares will be deducted!"
"Five...50 million!"
Li Enfu's tongue was knotted, not to mention Zhang Shun and Du Dazhuang, and their eyes began to glow green.
Under the six eyes, Master Li nodded happily, turned his head and pointed to the crowd downstairs, and licked his tongue: "If you two go down and tie them up now, you can get at least a ransom of one or two hundred million!"
One or two...billion?!
Du Dazhuang shook his body, stared at Zhang Shun with fiery eyes, and his big scarlet tongue circled around his mouth.
"Do it, don't do it?"
