642 Make-do

To the extent of Li Mu, many times he is indeed involuntarily, the social circle of the upper class is a vanity fair, not only Easterners attach importance to "face", but Westerners also attach equal importance to it, unless Li Mu does not invite any of them, otherwise do not miss any of them.

In the end, it was Will who decided that in view of the fact that there are only 68 seats in Trinity Church, Li Mu's wedding will only send out 68 invitations.

"Reem, I heard you're getting married?" Rockefeller was the most breathless, and called Li Mu as soon as he got the news.

"Yes, so you'd better start thinking about what gift to give me when the time comes..."

Generally speaking, if a Westerner is a guest at a friend's house, it is enough to bring a bouquet of flowers or a bottle of wine.

Of course, the above situation is only in general, for most people only once in a lifetime wedding, Westerners still pay more attention, a bouquet of flowers or a bottle of wine will definitely not be able to get it, especially at the level of Li Mu.

"Haha, I'll write you a blank check, whatever you want." Rockefeller was so generous that it made Li Mu feel unreal.

"Would you be so good?" Based on Li Mu's understanding of Rockefeller, Rockefeller probably wouldn't do this.

Rockefeller and their generation of rich people are basically the "rich generation", so their daily life is relatively simple compared to their level, at least they will not do unseemly things like taking money and smashing people, as far as Rockefeller's character is concerned, even if Rockefeller's son gets married, it is estimated that Rockefeller will not be so generous, and Li Mu doesn't have to think about it here.

"Just when I pay you the dividends in advance, damn it, I don't even want to read the financial statements now, and the thought of paying you so much money every year makes me want to soak in the wine vat and get drunk..."

Li Mu and Rockefeller have cooperated in many fields, such as the current Mobil Oil, which is one of the cooperation projects between Li Mu and Rockefeller.

At the beginning, Rockefeller did not realize the importance of gasoline, so when the establishment of Mobil Oil, he generously gave Li Mu 49% of the shares, only in the past few years, Mobil Oil's subordinate gas stations, has spread all over the United States, Mobil Oil's profitability is also rising, and now it has basically surpassed Standard Oil, becoming the most potential industry of the Rockefeller family.

A few years ago, Rockefeller could never have imagined that the "waste" extracted from oil residues could bring Li Mu a profit of nearly $20 million a year.

Probably Li Mu also realized that this was a bit unauthentic, or he wanted to form a closer alliance with Rockefeller, so Li Mu transferred 20% of the shares of Junma Automobile Company to the Rockefeller family at a price of 35 million US dollars, and achieved cross-control with the Rockefeller family, which made Rockefeller feel a little better.

Don't underestimate this 20% stake, the annual profit generated is no less than that of 49% of Mobil Oil's shares.

As soon as he hung up Rockefeller's phone, the phone rang again, this time from Hayes.

"Oh, oh, I heard that our Monsieur Ream has finally decided to leave the happy bachelor life, and here I will only express my congratulations from the Presidential Palace, how about it? Do you need me to host a bachelor's night out for you? Hayes's tone was unusually relaxed, and it was probably the most relaxed moment since he took office.

Being president is a beautiful thing, but it is by no means an easy thing, especially for an ambitious person like Hayes, if Hayes has the ability to match his ambitions, then Hayes may be a little easier, and now it seems that this is obviously not the case, Hayes has empty ambitions, but the ability and ambition do not match, and the standard ambition is blind and the master is low, so Hayes is very painful.

Although the ability is insufficient, there is still a sense of smell that should be there, and Li Mu's wedding is the best opportunity to repair the relationship between Hayes and Li Mu, and Hayes will definitely not let go of such an opportunity.

As for "bachelor's night", this is an American tradition, which probably means that the groom will gather a group of fox friends to hang out for a night on the first night of marriage, and after marriage, he will be wholeheartedly loyal to his family and wife, which is considered the final madness.

"I don't think so, there is a generation gap between us, and I don't think we can play together, but I still hope that you can come to my wedding, and you will be the most important guest at the wedding." Li Mu was very face-saving, and immediately sent an invitation to Hayes.

In fact, in Will's original expectation, Li Mu's wedding was not going to invite Hayes, after all, what Hayes did during this time was indeed a bit "deviant", and the bigwigs in New York were holding their breath and preparing to give Hayes some color to see, so that Hayes fully realized who was the real person in this land, and if Hayes was invited under this premise, I don't know what kind of unpleasantness would happen.

Although the list has not yet been confirmed, it is certain that all the leaders of the management committee of the Canal Company will be present, and the helmsmen of the subsidiaries of the Horse Group, except for Lawrence Lucas, who is in the Far East and cannot return, should also be present.

The wedding will also feature a number of foreign guests, most notably the President of the United Cuban States, Sylvester, and the President of the Republic of Panama, Martínez Silva.

Yes, the above two presidents have confirmed that they will attend Li Mu's wedding, but they did not appear as presidents, but appeared in their personal names to congratulate Li Mu.

This is enough to save face, even if Panama is now only recognized by the United States, Martínez Silva is also the nominal head of state of the Republic of Panama, and can attract two foreign heads of state to attend his wedding, Li Mu should be the only one among the rich people of this era.

No, it's three, if Hayes is going to participate too.

"It's a great honor that I've asked my secretary to set my schedule, and I'll be on my way to New York tomorrow." Hayes couldn't wait, during the period of stiff relationship with Li Mu, Hayes deeply experienced the feeling of betrayal and separation, remembering that when he cooperated with Li Mu, Hayes felt more and more that it was necessary to maintain a good personal relationship with Li Mu.

Even if you have to adjust your own policy for this.

The president's job, while busy, is not set in stone, and Americans think that people who don't take a break don't work, so even the president needs a vacation, and Hayes is no exception.

From the moment the news came out, Li Mu's phone almost never stopped, not many people knew Li Mu's office phone, but almost everyone who knew called Li Mu, their purpose was the same, that is, to get that small invitation, in today's New York, this invitation has become a symbol of identity and status, everyone wants to get it.

On October 1st, the weather was sunny and breezy, and there was a light rain last night, and the temperature was a little cold, but that didn't stop the enthusiasm.

New York Mayor Edward Jeffrey is very powerful, all the police officers of the New York City Police Department are on the street, almost every intersection, there are police and security guards in black suits of the Springfield Security Company on joint duty, the Trinity Church is even more heavily guarded, Will even mobilized the gendarmes of the First Cavalry Division to temporarily block the neighborhood near the Trinity Church, if you look at the Trinity Church from the air, the surrounding security personnel are like spider silk, weaving a spider web densely around the Trinity Church, Trinity Church is right in the center of the cobweb.

Because there are three heads of state in attendance, this level of security is not excessive, in fact, the on-site security force is not only on the surface, the wedding such as Rockefeller, John Henry and others have a large number of personal bodyguards, they are the most powerful combat force.

Will did overplay, although the First Cavalry Division of the Army was established for a relatively short time, but Will completely transplanted the customs of the previous Federal Army, ready to give Li Mu an unforgettable memory, when Li Mu arrived at Trinity Church, Li Mu had to admit that Will was indeed successful.

Located in Manhattan, where every inch of land is valuable, the scale of Trinity Church is not large, there are about 20 steps in front of the church, when Li Mu arrived at the church, the steps have been covered with a red carpet, on both sides of the red carpet, on each step there are two officers of the First Cavalry Division standing opposite each other, they are wearing brightly colored military uniforms, wearing slender cavalry knives around their waists, and they are looking Li Mu up and down with ill-intentioned eyes.

I almost forgot, because of Will's identity, Gloria is a standard "general", and now the daughter of the general's family is about to be taken away by a businessman who is full of copper smell, even if this businessman is engaged in the profession of an arms dealer who is very closely related to the military, the officers still feel resentful, probably the same mood as the little cabbage that they have worked hard to cultivate for more than ten years is arched by a pig if they are not careful.

What Li Mu definitely didn't expect was that standing on both sides of the bottom steps were actually Yan Hu and Bresta.

Yan Hu is mixed in the officer corps, Li Mu can still understand, after all, Yan Hu is an official officer of the First Cavalry Division, Bresta is a little too much to say in this, the day the First Cavalry Division of the Army was established, Bresta has already served as the chief of the New York City Police Department, although "the military and police are one", but this sentence does not seem to be understood in this way.

"Hehe, I'm not wearing a military dress, I'm wearing our New York City Police Department dress, although it looks more similar, but it's not just not." Bresta insisted that no one knew what the NYPD dress looked like anyway.

In fact, Li Mu was very skeptical that the New York City Police Department had a dress or not.

"Uh-huh, what do you want to do?" Li Mu looked at the hands that were holding the hilt of the cavalry knife and the green tendons were exposed, although he knew that these officers would not do anything to him, but he was still a little weak in his heart.

"This is the tradition of the First Division of the Cavalry of our Army, if you want to marry our princess, you have to accept the challenge of the knights..."Bresta explained in detail, but Li Mu already understood what it meant.

Also traditional!

Don't be funny, the establishment of the First Cavalry Division of the Army has only appeared for three or four years now.

It's just such a thing, and it's actually a tradition, and I'm not afraid to make people laugh out of their big teeth.

Bresta didn't mean to laugh, and as soon as he finished speaking, he "Qiang Lang Lang" drew his sword and flicked it, and then raised it at an angle of 45 degrees obliquely upwards, the tip of the knife just against the tip of Yan Hu's knife on the opposite side.

The cooperation is so good, they must have practiced, maybe how many times these two have been training in private.

"Don't do this, from tomorrow onwards, I am also a member of the First Cavalry Division of the Army, at least the son-in-law of the First Cavalry Division, is it really good for you to treat your relatives like this?" Of course, Li Mu has trust in Yan Hu and Bresta, but for others, Li Mu's confidence is not very strong.

Obviously, this is to let Li Mu get under the knife, in case one of them slips, then Li Mu will have nowhere to cry out.

You can't blame Li Mu for thinking too much, he has been doing business for so long, Li Mu is also full of enemies now, those enemies who took the initiative to jump out are okay to say, Li Mu will find a way to defeat the opponent, and he will drive people out of the United States at the worst, but for those invisible opponents, Li Mu has no choice, in case someone in front of this group of officers drank two more drinks the night before, the consequences are really unimaginable...

Seeing that Li Mu was hesitating, Bresta laughed heartily, and Yan Hu gave Li Mu a hidden look.

Looking at Yan Hu's eyes, Li Mu was surprised to find that the cavalry knife in Yan Hu's hand didn't seem to be bladed.

This is a good phenomenon, I don't want to see Li Mu being missed by his own people, and the prevention work has been done in advance.

After figuring out the situation, Li Mu immediately returned to normal, and straightened his bow tie casually, Shi Shiran walked up the red carpet, the expression on his face was very relaxed, and he was not frightened by the big battle in front of him.

As before, although the dress Li Mu wore was hung with the logo of "men's wear", it was actually from expensive hand-sewn, and in order to customize the dress needed for marriage, Gloria specially hired a tailor from Italy.

In the church, Gloria, dressed in white gauze, is ready for Will, who is also in a suit and leather shoes, and Will will personally send Gloria into the church and accompany Gloria through the most important part of her life.

Looking at Gloria, who was shy and excited, Will's mood was really mixed.

To be honest, if possible, Will was not willing to marry Gloria to Li Mu, after all, there was a big belly in the family.

But what can you do if you don't get married, relatively speaking, Li Mu is already the best candidate that Will can find.

Uh-huh, make do.
