It was 1875 after New Year's Day, and it was the fourth year since Li Mu and Chu Xue's family came to the United States.

Four years is enough time to change a person, in the Qing Empire, Chu Xue's family lived without any self-esteem, Chu Xue may be beaten to death for a sentence similar to a joke, Lao Yan and Yan's mother can only beg bitterly when their daughter is in danger, begging for God's blessing, there is no other way.

As for Yan Hu and Yan Shun, although they are not willing to be bullied by fate, they are helpless, in order to save Chu Xue, Yan Hu almost put himself in it is proof.

Now it is different from four years ago, Yan Hu is the youngest senior general in the United States Army, Yan Shun is Li Mu's personal assistant, Li Mu is now also trying to let Yan Shun take on more important positions, as for Chu Xue, the big housekeeper of the Junma Group has fully proved the importance of Chu Xue, according to Henry's words, the current Jun Ma Group can do without Li Mu, but not without Chu Xue.

This description is a bit exaggerated, but it is not outrageous, without Li Mu, Junma Group will continue to exist, at most it is a little detour when developing new products, but as long as the current framework remains unchanged, Junma Group can still be brilliant for decades.

Without the first snowfall, the Kufma Group's accounts would soon be in shambles, and even the next month's salary would not be paid in time.

For Lao Yan's idea, Li Mu raised his hands in agreement, Li Mu clearly knew that Lao Yan's craftsmanship is not only cooking, carpentry work is also excellent, and Lao Yan also has a good skill in making leather, Li Mu and Chu Xue wore leather boots are made by Lao Yan himself, which is different from the road goods distributed by the Junma Group, and I don't know what secret recipe Lao Yan used, even if it is summer, wearing the leather boots made by Lao Yan will not cover his feet.

Since there is craftsmanship and ideas, it should be supported, even if it fails, it is nothing more than a matter of losing some money, and now Li Mu can afford to lose, but if it is done well, it may become a new profit growth point for Junma Group.

Oh, no, this is not the industry of the Junma Group, Li Mu has at most some shares, Lao Yan can play the banner of "Yan's", and by the way, he can also save a family business for Yan Hu and Yan Shun.

It's still not right, if Lao Yan is willing, he doesn't even need to let Li Mu occupy the shares, after all, Yan Hu brought back a lot of money from Montana, and it is not a problem to set up a factory or something, Yan Hu's own money is enough to support it.

However, Yan Hu was not willing to be so clear with Li Mu, when Li Mu said that the Yan family could set up a factory as a sole proprietorship, Yan Hu's words made Li Mu feel warm: "Don't calculate it so clearly, Reem, if it weren't for you, our family would still be living a life of pigs and dogs in the little prince's place, no matter when, the Yan family's things are yours." ”

The Yan family is a person who knows gratitude, and when he receives the grace of dripping water, he will be reciprocated by a spring, not to mention Li Mu's original act of saving him, Yan Hu thinks that he will replace himself, and Yan Hu can't do it.

In fact, this is the difference between people, there is a famous joke in the republic of the 21st century, in the mouth of a certain richest man, 100 million yuan has become a small goal, and then this sentence was taken out separately and widely ridiculed, no matter how you listen to it, there is a kind of ridicule of the richest man does not eat the fireworks of the world, but the problem is that for the richest man, 100 million yuan is indeed not a big number, people just say it casually, and forget it when they say it, and they don't take it to heart, but I didn't expect it to be interpreted by the media as soon as it becomes like this.

Li Mu was also like this at the beginning, as a traverser, familiar with the historical trend, familiar with the law of scientific and technological development, know what to do to make money, what to do to lose money, at this time "money" is meaningless, just like someone in the 21st century, if you know the lottery numbers of each two-color ball in the future, know the national team ranking of each World Cup, I am afraid that money will also lose its meaning to him.

Yan Hu's attitude was very firm, and he didn't have any dissatisfaction with Yan Shun and Chu Xue's expressions, as if this was a matter of course, but that could be said, but things can't be done, Yan Hu has reached the age of starting a family, Li Mu and the Yan family have a good relationship, and now they can be separated from each other, but when Yan Hu gets married and has a daughter-in-law, if it is so unclear, it will inevitably cause Yan Hu's family to be restless.

Li Mu will definitely not do this kind of thing, so Li Mu's attitude is also very firm: "I understand your thoughts, but you have to know the truth of the cunning rabbit three holes, we can't put our eggs in the same basket, the business of the Junma Group is now booming, but we must have a sense of worry, so last year I insisted on splitting the Junma Group, Will is purely American, no one will say anything about the Barron family even if they buy Manhattan, the San Diego Investment Company has a Cuban background, which involves the relationship between the United States and Cuba, So no one is making irresponsible remarks, but I'm different, in the white world, it is not difficult for a Chinese to get out of the way, but it is not easy to beware of those open guns and hidden arrows that may come at any time, so it is not enough to rely on the Junma Group to improve the status of the Chinese, there must be more Chinese families to stand out and become the backbone of American society, so that the Chinese can really straighten their backs, and when someone wants to target the Chinese, they will also worry more. ”

It is very easy to deal with a soldier like Yan Hu, and if he throws out the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace, he can immediately convince Yan Hu, and the soldier himself is very anxious.

Will also helped beside him: "Ream is right, you can't put all your eggs in the same basket, so when Reem wanted to borrow the name of the Barron family, then use it casually, I only have two daughters, what do you want so much money for, it's the same in the Barron family or in the Stead Group." ”

By the time he said this, Will had forgotten that he had a son.

In order to take care of Gloria and Sandy's emotions, Will did not bring Claudia Nel and her son back, Claudia Nel and her son live in Washington, D.C., Will can ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing, but he can't give them a complete family, it is obviously Christmas Eve, but he is drunk and drunk, which has nothing to do with it.

Of course, Gloria also knew Will's pain, looking at the drunken Will, Gloria's mouth opened, but she still didn't let go.

Li Mu could only sigh secretly, even Li Mu couldn't interfere in this kind of thing, maybe when the child was older, Gloria would be able to accept all this.

"Let's discuss the name of the magazine, it's not good to call it a name like "Times" or "Evening News", since it is for women, it must be reflected in the name." The first snow diverted the topic in time.

"This kind of magazine should use the name "Beauty"!" Will's proposal was direct enough, but also vulgar enough.

Gloria rolled her eyes wide, clearly not expecting anything from the name.

Sandy was more straightforward and straightforward, and directly sent the words back to Will: "Then it's better to use "Beautiful Clothes", at least this sounds like it can make people understand what it does." ”

Well, Sandy also has the style of a tiger girl, and no one has a name to get it, but you can't expect a twelve-year-old to have a good name.

"I think it's better to use Vogue—" Hatsuyuki finally gave a reliable opinion.

"Why not use 'Urban Beauty'? This is New York, the financial center of the United States, and it is distinguished by this name. Gloria also disagreed.

This is normal, everyone will have their own opinion on the grasp of fashion and trends, and it is normal to have disagreements.

Originally, this kind of topic Li Mu is the terminator, whether it is "Ruili" or "Yiren", it is very charming to throw out one casually, but in a white society, it is a bit too difficult to explain to people what "the so-called Yiren, on the water side", so Li Mu does not bother that brain, with the strength of the Junma Group, even if Chu Xue and Gloria take the name "Barron and Yan", Li Mu still has a way to make this magazine become a bestseller in the shortest possible time.

It's rare that Gloria and Chu Xue really want to do something, Li Mu can't dampen their enthusiasm, since this is something that Gloria and Chu Xue have come up with, then let them call the shots.

In the end, it is still up to democracy to solve the problem, voting is a good choice, Gloria's "City Beauty" won 4 to 3, Yan Hu became a shameful traitor, voted in favor of "City Beauty", and was verbally criticized by Li Mu and Yan Shun, although Chu Xue is also helping, it can be seen that Chu Xue doesn't care much about this.

That's right, if a family wants to do something together, the original intention is good, and it can't be complicated because there are twists and turns in the process, so it's better not to do it.

Li Mu returned to Governor's Island a little late, the meal was hot and cold, cold and hot, and it was already ten o'clock in the evening when he sat down at the table, but a group of people were still interested, the men all served wine, and the women took juice, wishing a happy Christmas Eve.

When the toast was celebrated, the fireworks outside the window finally began to bloom, and the Kufma Group prepared fireworks worth 100,000 US dollars for Christmas Eve, which can still be set off for 24 hours without interruption even if the fireworks are divided into two fireworks spots, Central Park and Battery Park.

Today's fireworks are only part of the show, but there will be a fireworks display tomorrow night and New Year's Day night, which will last for two hours every night, culminating in the Lunar New Year, when the Horse Group will light up all the remaining fireworks.

With the roar of fireworks, looking at the fireworks blooming in the night sky, not only Will and Gloria, who had never seen fireworks before, but even Li Mu, who was used to seeing big scenes in the 21st century, was also intoxicated.

This thing is still the most beautiful to look at on the spot, and this is because Li Mu appeared in the fireworks in New York, which is precious.
