Although the construction of the apartment buildings in Brooklyn County has not yet begun, the headquarters of the Stallion Group in Central Park has been completed.

ZAMA Group has built a total of three buildings in Central Park, two of which are the headquarters of ZAMA Group, and the last building was taken out as apartments and distributed to the middle and senior management of ZAMA Group.

After learning about Eddie Joy's family, Li Mu immediately decided to take out one of the apartments and give it to Eddie Joy as a Christmas gift.

It was a duplex apartment with eight rooms with a total area of 160 square meters, which was enough for Eddie Joy to have six children.

Rewarding the house that originally belonged to the management staff to ordinary employees should be hyped up in order to get enough effect, so on Christmas Day, Eddie Joy's family will also accept a donation ceremony, when Henry, the general manager of the Horse Group, will officially award the house to Eddie Joy on behalf of the Horse Group.

Americans don't pay attention to doing good deeds without leaving a name, go to church on Sunday to donate money to the "Heavenly Father", and write a name in the message book, when it comes to Li Mu, every move should have a special meaning, so "Time Magazine" will devote a whole page to report on this matter, since the Junma Group has paid for it, it should get enough publicity effect.

This kind of thing is normal, both the parties and bystanders like to hear about it, and no one dares to make irresponsible remarks about this kind of thing, otherwise it will be criticized by the whole society.

Li Mu ran to ten families on Christmas Eve and sent ten different blessings, the value of the gifts varied, such as the expensive house for Eddie Joy's family, which was worth more than $30,000 in New York, and even more considering the location of Central Park; There are also cheaper ones, such as the "Python" craft pistol for Arthur's son.

Arthur married his wife, Ellen Lewis Herndon, in 1857, and had two sons and a daughter.

Arthur's eldest son was born in 1860, during the Civil War, Arthur was an officer in the Northern Army, and Arthur's wife Ellen was born in the South, so during that time, Arthur and Ellen had a strained relationship.

Arthur's eldest son died unexpectedly at the age of two and a half, much to the grief of Arthur and Ellen.

A year before the end of the Civil War, Arthur's second son was born in New York, and Arthur gave the child the exact same name as himself, Chester Allen Arthur.

Arthur II was in good health, and the last time Li Mu went to Arthur's house as a guest, when he knew that Li Mu was the largest arms manufacturer in the United States, Arthur Jr. asked Li Mu to get a "python" craft pistol.

Such a requirement can be satisfied, and Li Mu specially customized a "detective-type" craft pistol for Arthur Jr. to fit Arthur's hand type.

This gun is very precious, and most of the other craft pistols are "cavalry type", and the "detective type" is the only one.

Seeing that his son was ecstatic, Arthur was very happy and invited Li Mu to dinner.

This can't work, at least not today, Will and Chu Xue are still waiting for Li Mu on Governor's Island, Li Mu doesn't go home, they probably won't have dinner.

Leaving Arthur's home, Li Mu returned to Governor's Island as fast as he could, and when he passed by Battery Park, Li Mu noticed that the Battery Park had been hung with red lanterns, and it was illuminated by electric lights, so there was no need to worry about causing a fire.

The red lantern is very eye-catching, in Manhattan at night, it is like a beautiful landscape, many Chinese see such a scene with tears in their eyes, nostalgia arises spontaneously, and although the white people do not understand the Chinese tradition, they can still feel the meaning of the red lantern, especially when hundreds of lanterns appear together, the scene is indeed very spectacular, at least in the nineteenth century.

In the 21st century, such scenes are commonplace, ordinary people will get a lantern to hang at the door when they have nothing to do, once it is a festival celebration, the Chinese who like to be lively are not allowed to hang lanterns all over the world.

The 19th century was different, Americans in this year did not know much about what national power was, did not understand what unified action was, and the employees of the Horse Group could make the newspaper discuss it for half a month wearing uniform overalls, not to mention the thousands of lanterns that suddenly hung up in one night.

Across the river from Governor's Island and across the water from the Horse Factory, all three places are filled with red lanterns tonight, and the red lanterns form a beautiful reflection in the sea, which is connected to the lanterns on the shore.

Back on Governor's Island, Will, Chu Xue, and Gloria were really still waiting for Li Mu, and when they saw Li Mu coming back, Will laughed and said that it was finally time to eat.

Only then did Li Mu realize that Will was almost drunk and dizzy.

After leaving the barracks and returning home, Will completely let go of his hands and feet, and he must drink a little every time he eats, otherwise he will not feel satisfied.

Today's situation is quite special, Li Mu hasn't come back yet, Will just watched Chu Xue and Gloria chatting, and accidentally drank a little too much.

"What are you talking about?" Li Mu is also curious, the relationship between Chu Xue and Gloria is not bad, but it is not so good that they talk about everything, but today it doesn't seem quite right, Chu Xue and Gloria seem to be chatting very speculatively.

"Two boring women, what good things can you expect them to talk about?" Sandy was very dissatisfied, it seemed that Sandy was ostracized by Hatsuyuki and Gloria just now.

"Shut up-" Gloria was not polite to Sandy, and immediately suppressed it strongly, and without waiting for Sandy to distinguish, she said to Li Mu happily: "Jennifer and I discussed to set up a magazine specifically for women, recommend beauty and clothing for women, and guide fashion trends by the way, what do you think of this idea?" ”

Li Mu had to think about it carefully, only to remember that Chu Xue's English name was "Jennifer", after listening to Gloria's words, Li Mu nodded naturally: "Very good idea, maybe you can also create a fashion brand, women have great consumption potential, but there is no service brand for women in the market, if this part of the market is developed, the market size is no less than the current Junma Group." ”

Women are not valued in these years, they don't even have the right to vote, and even fewer are brave enough to leave their homes to work.

This right to vote is not directly related to work, although the U.S. Constitution stipulates that you can only have the right to vote if you pay a certain amount of taxes, but even if you pay enough taxes to Ghana like Gloria, you will not be able to get the right to vote.

For the women's market, it is indeed still in the wild era, and those thunderous luxury brands in the future do not even have a shadow now, if Chuxue and Gloria really want to make a difference in this regard, the difficulty is not too big, with the support of Li Mu and Junma Group, it is not too easy to succeed.

"The last time my eldest brother went back to Springfield, he said that his father wanted to open a shoe store in Springfield, specializing in selling leather shoes produced in our factory, and today Gloria brought up this matter, I think this matter is very good, we usually make clothes can only go to specific clothing stores, although the craftsmanship is very good, but the price is also very high, you see those uniforms of our Junma Group, they also look the same good, I heard that some people even buy uniforms from our employees, and then send them to the market for sale, So I think this thing can be done. "Chu Xue now also has her own ability to discriminate, including Lao Yan, who is improving her realm.

The "clothing stores" mentioned by Chu Xue are specialized in custom-made clothing, and rarely sell ready-to-wear clothes, these clothing stores are indeed very good, but the price is indeed very expensive, and ordinary people cannot afford to consume.

When Li Mu first implemented the unified clothing, he opened a garment factory in Springfield, specializing in the production of bedding, clothing, shoes and other textile supplies used by the Junma Group.

Garment manufacturing is a labor-intensive industry, the larger the scale of production, the lower the cost, the horse group is actually very advantageous, like Mrs. Joy like the working housewives in the horse group there are tens of thousands, if this part of the surplus labor is used, it seems that it is not difficult to become bigger and stronger in the textile industry.

"If you want to do it, you can do it yourself, anyway, you take care of the accounts, if you want to do the women's market, I suggest starting with clothing and bags, after all, we have some experience in this area, if you need design drawings, don't be polite, I can provide them for free." Li Mu strongly supported and was ready to continue to get some classic clothes from the 21st century.

Li Mu is still very talented in design, although Li Mu was not a fashion designer in his last life, but he has never eaten pork and has always seen a pig run, although he did not have a girlfriend in his previous life, but it does not prevent Li Mu from browsing the web when he is fine, so Li Mu's experience is still very rich, at least from the breadth of what he has seen and heard, he has exploded everyone in this year.

When the horse weapons factory determined the uniform, it was a sketch designed by Li Mu, Li Mu did not dare to design too avant-garde at that time, and chose a similar hunting style design, which was crowned as "retro" in the 21st century, but in the 19th century, it was an out-and-out trend, and it was also a fashion frontier.

People at this age don't have any concept of "fashion", but in the plan of Hatsuyuki and Gloria, they want to make a magazine first, so that they have the best recommendation platform, as long as the concept of "fashion" is introduced in the magazine, and a few illustrations are put in, it is not difficult to create a brand.

The key is that there are no competitors, what Louis Vuitton, Burberry or something, they are still in the handicraft stage, and this market does not occupy nothing.

It's so lonely as snow.
