320 He who obeys me prospers
Li Mu has a group of workers who specialize in building houses, as early as the time of Riverside Town, these people began to use all kinds of wood to build houses, and now they are familiar with the way. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This time he came to Hawaii, Li Mu brought more than 30 good guys from the "Springfield Security Company", so many people worked together, it was really not too easy to build a house or something.
Chu Wushuang personally took action, smashed the foundation on the beach with an oil hammer, and then began to go to the earth.
The house on the beach certainly doesn't use brick and stone, so the earth dragon is also treated wood, the thicker white maple, which has been treated in Springfield.
The fixed earth dragon uses a seven-inch long steel nail, this kind of nail is special, both ends are sharp, after smashing and bending, it can be used to connect wood, this kind of nail is called a horse nail relatively small, and the big one is called a straight hook, Li Mu They use this kind of straight hook.
The plank joints have been grooved with concave and convex grooves, which are interlocking with each other, and together with the fixation of straight hooks, there is no doubt about the firmness.
After all, it is a temporary house, there is no need to consider the load-bearing, Li Mu did not ask to build a two- or three-story villa on the beach, a simple wooden bungalow, the result of the most complex project is to do the dragon, do a good job of the dragon, the first half is very simple, I leave a young man to laugh and laugh in an hour.
It's still beautiful, there are reserved doors and windows on the walls, the exterior walls and roofs have been painted, the blue roofs and white walls reflect the blue sky and white sand, which is very eye-catching.
When the first house was built, Sandy couldn't wait to move in.
Don't worry, this is Honolulu, and there are more sandalwood trees that can be used as firewood, so Li Mu didn't bring furniture over at all, just buy furniture in Honolulu.
The Kingdom of Hawaii does not issue currency, the US dollar is the universal currency here, and for Li Mu, the problem that can be solved with money is not a problem, the house has not been built, and the furniture purchased by Ford Benjamin has been sent in an endless stream, beds, desks, Taishi chairs, wardrobes, sofas, etc., etc., and even the shoe racks at the door are sandalwood.
This speed is estimated to be a record, less than three hours after arriving in Hawaii, Li Mu has already lived in his own house, and it has just been built, with two bedrooms and two living rooms.
Sounds small, doesn't it?
Enough, a bedroom, a study, a living room, a dining room, although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs.
Yan Shun, the only one who is not satisfied, it seems that this guy has to sleep in the living room again-
Chu Xue didn't have to worry, she lived with Gloria and Sandy, it was a big house with three bedrooms and two living rooms, about the same size as Li Mu's.
With Li Mu's house as the center, Chu Wushuang and the others are still busy, and the other people's houses are all outside Li Mu's house, and two watchout towers will be built on the outermost periphery, so that they can initially have a certain defensive capability.
For Li Mu, Hawaii is not a paradise, although the Kingdom of Hawaii has been established, but this is a chieftaincy country, so the security issue must not be careless, in case the boat capsizes in the gutter, the face can not be hung upon.
Ford Benjamin, who had finished the furniture, came back to report that he had sent a post to Chen Guofang.
Li Mu was very happy and immediately ordered a barbecue party to be held on the beach in the evening.
Li Mu is not worried that he will be closed, as long as Chen Guofang is not stupid, Chen Guofang knows what to do.
Chen Guofang is indeed not stupid, otherwise he would not have been able to get such a big foundation, and before night fell, Li Mu waited for Chen Guofang.
Although he served as the ambassador of the Qing Empire to Hawaii, Chen Guofang did not wear the official uniform of the Qing Empire when he came to visit Li Mu, but wore a long shirt, which made Li Mu nod secretly, he was indeed a smart person.
Cheongsam is not very common in the United States and Hawaii, Chen Guofang did not wear the crown of the Qing Empire, nor did he wear the usual suits and leather shoes in the United States, the intention of choosing the cheongsam is obvious, this is to play the emotional card to Li Mu, I hope Li Mu will take care of the same origin and the same origin.
"Mr. Chen, look up for a long time-" Li Mu didn't care about it, and greeted Chen Guofang at the door.
Chen Guofang is about forty years old this year, but this age is not true, Chinese people are relatively "tender" compared to Westerners, especially a rich man like Chen Guofang, pampered and beautiful, it is normal for him to look a little younger than his actual age.
If it weren't for Chen Guofang's eye sockets being a little deep, Li Mu almost thought that he was the "father of the nation" standing in front of him, with the same partial head, the same mustache, and the same gentle and elegant, and he was indeed a bit of the "richest man".
"Mr. Li, Jiu Yang—" Chen Guofang was also polite, and the gesture of holding his fists was very standard.
About this fist salute, the meaning of the left hand on the top and the right hand on the top is different, the left hand holds the right hand to show respect, and the right hand holds the left hand that is a funeral, if you accidentally make a mistake, soda lime jokes.
Although Chen Guofang has lived overseas for a long time, it seems that he has not forgotten traditional culture.
The two exchanged a few words, and instead of going to the living room to sit, they went to sit on the chaise longue in the hallway.
Li Mu's house is very novel, the side facing the sea, all of them are open-plan, the walls are all glass, and there is a wide corridor outside the glass, and there are two reclining chairs on the corridor, and it must be a good mood to chat here.
"It is amazing that Mr. Chen came to Honolulu alone and worked hard to build such a big foundation with his bare hands." Li Mu sent a polite message first.
"Hehe, Mr. Li, in front of you, who dares to say anything about the huge foundation, it is just a joke." Chen Guofang is not proud, and seems to be very aware of Li Mu's power.
On the Hawaiian side, the most powerful foreign group now seems to be the Chinese, followed by the Americans, and then the Southeast Asians, who are not in the climate, and the Japanese are not ranked at all.
Because many Americans have settled in Hawaii, the name Li Mu is definitely not unfamiliar in Hawaii, and those who know Li Mu know what the name Li Mu means in New England, so the first time he saw Li Mu's post, Chen Guofang took the initiative to visit Li Mu.
"Well, let's stop flattering each other, if we keep talking about it, we won't be able to get down to business tomorrow." Li Mu no longer talked nonsense, and was ready to get to the point.
"Oh, I wonder why Mr. Li is here in Hawaii?" Chen Guofang is not accustomed to Li Mu's colloquialism, there is no "New Culture Movement" in these years, and he cannot show his own cultural level without speaking with "those who are not right".
Li Mu has no education, and some have a bad stomach: "I heard that two successive kings of the Hawaiian Kingdom died one after another throughout the year, I don't know how Mr. Chen feels?" ”
"Where to start with the saying 'die unexpectedly', life and death are destined by God, maybe this is God's ordeal for the Hawaiian Kingdom." Chen Guofang was vigilant and did not open the skylight to say something bright.
"Hehe, Mr. Chen doesn't have to worry, Li is also a native Chinese, so he will naturally work for the welfare of our Chinese, how the king of the Hawaii Kingdom died has nothing to do with me, I am only worried about whether the rights of the Chinese in Hawaii will be guaranteed." Li Mu is still direct and does not beat around the bush.
At present, the Chinese in Hawaii are exempt from taxation in Hawaii, whether they are doing business or working, which originally belonged only to the welfare of the Chinese, and Chen Guofang tried his best to get it, but it remains to be seen whether the Chinese will be able to keep these privileges in the future after the successive replacement of two kings.
"As long as Chen still has a breath left, Chen will definitely try his best to seek the well-being of the Chinese." Chen Guofang is also firm, of course, the confidence is not so sufficient.
Exert oneself!
As long as this word appears, it is generally impossible to achieve it even if you try your best.
"Do your best—Mr. Chen feels like he has a chance of winning?" Li Mu was not polite and seized the opportunity to chase and fight.
Chen Guofang was silent, obviously not much sure.
"Maybe Mr. Chen doesn't know that Li came to Honolulu this time to turn Honolulu into the Hawaii of the United States." Li Mu told Chen Guofang and Pan that he was not afraid of Chen Guofang's outburst.
"You-" Sure enough, as expected, as soon as Li Mu's words fell, Chen Guofang immediately stood up angrily.
Li Mu was not in a hurry, and looked at Chen Guofang quietly, his eyes were calm and full of confidence.
This kind of gaze can give people strength, Chen Guofang was stunned, but still shouted loudly: "If you dare to be so rebellious, aren't you afraid that 100,000 Hawaiian people will resist desperately?" ”
Resist!
Li Mu is really not afraid.
"Resist whom? Do you think the people care who is in charge? Joke, they only care about whether their lives are good or not, and if I break the chieftaincy of the Hawaiian Kingdom, then do you say that the common people of Hawaii will boycott me or welcome me? "Li Mu is not worried, he is coerced by public opinion, Li Mu is best at this.
The chieftaincy of Hawaii is not much different from the chieftaincy of those emirates in the future, specifically, the chieftaincy of Hawaii is similar to slavery, the chieftains of each tribe have the power of life and death of the people of their tribes, on the surface, the chiefs are all civilized people, in fact, the people in those tribes are also very difficult, even the workers on the plantations are not as good, if someone can rescue them from the dire situation, then maybe the people of Hawaii listen to whom.
"Mr. Li, what you have a big plan for, Chen has not done anything, so I'm sorry-" Chen Guofang didn't plan to wade into this troubled water.
"Do you really think so? Think about it, even if I don't work with you, I don't have a shortage of collaborators, and the benefits of working with me are obvious, at least I can guarantee that what you get now is still yours, and you will get more, otherwise, no one can guarantee what the future holds. "Li Mu doesn't have much patience, those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die.
"Hehe, just by virtue of your dozens of people-" Chen Guofang was unwilling.
"Senator of Hawaii, what do you think of this status?" Li Mu made a condition.
Senator –
Chen Guofang fell into a long silence.
