557 Wills
The contest between different volumes is always unequal.
When Li Mu saw the products of the Zaihan Factory in the main exhibition hall of the Independent Centennial Exhibition, Li Mu was indeed very angry, but when Li Mu began to pay attention to the Zaihan Factory, Li Mu had not yet made a force, and the Zaihan Factory could not bear it.
Originally, Li Mu prepared a lot of tricks, water and electricity cuts, financial taxes, raw material supply, and even the stability of employees, Li Mu didn't need to make too much effort at all, he only needed to express his dissatisfaction with the Zaihan factory, and naturally someone would help Li Mu deal with the little fat man and the Zaihan factory.
When the little fat man was anxious, Li Mu had already begun to prepare for Will's engagement banquet.
It should be said that in Li Mu's heart, the importance of Will's engagement definitely exceeds the presidential election to be held at the end of the year.
This is not putting the cart before the horse, in fact, even if the Republican Party loses and the Democratic Party succeeds in taking power, the social status of Li Mu and the Junma Group will not change much, but Li Mu will inevitably bear the reputation of "stepping on two boats", which Li Mu is very unwilling to see.
As the commander of the Army's 1st Cavalry Division, Will's engagement attracted enough attention that even Ulysses Grant said that he would definitely take the time to attend when the time came.
Since there is the president's participation, it can't be hastily done, Li Mu still does his best, hoping to leave a good memory for Will and Claudia.
Of course, this engagement ceremony can also be regarded as a dress rehearsal, because it won't be long before Li Mu and Gloria will get engaged.
Originally, according to Will's plan, the engagement with Claudia only needed a simple ceremony, and there was no need to invite too many guests, and Will even felt that as long as his own family participated, it was enough, and none of the other friends needed to be invited.
Although Claudia has no opinion on Will's plan on the surface, Li Mu knows very well that every woman has a beautiful fantasy about the major events in her life, although Claudia has already given birth to a son to Will, but if only a simple ceremony is held according to Will's wishes, then I am afraid this will also become an eternal regret in Croatia's heart.
For Li Mu, what is the meaning of rebirth?
probably hoped that the people around him could live a better and more complete life, so Li Mu insisted on giving Will and Claudia a grand engagement ceremony.
In Li Mu's plan, the engagement ceremony will be held in Trinity Church in New York, and then a celebratory dinner will be held at the Clinton Castle Hotel, and the entire engagement ceremony will have more than 300 guests.
"With $25,000 a day, are you too dark to do it to yourself?" Will still has opinions on Li Mu's arrangement.
$25,000 per day, which refers to the cost of contracting the north building of the Clinton contracted hotel, is only a part of the engagement ceremony, in fact, in Li Mu's plan, the entire engagement ceremony will cost about $500,000.
"$25,000 is already a discounted price, and there are two presidential suites in the North Building, and the cost of these two presidential suites alone is already more than $5,000 per day." Li Mu said that he didn't ask for much, and $25,000 was just a friendship price.
"$5,000, are you crazy? $5,000 is enough to buy a house in Manhattan. Will still doesn't quite understand the definition of the presidential suite.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, it's time to try on clothes, all you have to do is cooperate, that's all." Li Mu doesn't want to talk nonsense with Will, the presidential suite not only means the top status, but also the top price, only in this way can the status of the "presidents" be highlighted.
Will's dress for the engagement ceremony is also custom-made, and the costume to be tried on today is not a real dress, it is just a sample given to Will by the tailor, and after the fitting, the dress will be officially made.
It sounds a bit cumbersome, right, but in fact, only this kind of excellence can be worthy of the customized price, and this is the tone you want.
To complete the test, more than a dozen people came to the tailor's shop, and they had to modify it according to the results of the scene before finalizing the style.
Seeing a group of people hugging Will into the fitting room, Gloria subconsciously grabbed Li Mu's arm.
"Thank you—" Gloria's voice was not audible, but the "thank you" was genuine.
"We don't need to be thankful for each other." Li Mu didn't think that this was so grateful, from the moment Will decided to serve as Li Mu's guardian, Li Mu regarded Will as his own family, and in Li Mu's opinion, it was natural for him to do these things.
Gloria didn't speak again, leaned her head on Li Mu's shoulder, hugged Li Mu's arm tightly, and shook a little coquettishly.
"After Will and Claudia get engaged, it's our turn, do you have any special requests then?" Li Mu really wanted to open it, although Li Mu felt that engaging in any engagement ceremony was tantamount to tossing and turning, but as long as Gloria was satisfied, Li Mu didn't mind.
"No, I just hope you can take care of your business, and then you can only have me in your eyes." It should be said that Gloria's requirements are not high, but it is not easy to do it.
Gloria refers to Chu Xue, and now Gloria no longer expects Li Mu and Chu Xue to be clean, she just hopes that Li Mu will not embarrass Gloria at that time.
Although the lover relationship is prevalent in Western society, there should still be superficial articles, at least the original wife can't get off the stage, Gloria is thinking very much now, since she can't drive Chu Xue away from Li Mu's side, she can only try to accept all this.
Sure enough, just as Gloria thought, Li Mu did not give an answer immediately, but pondered for a moment before answering: "Don't worry, you are my wife, and always will be." ”
For this answer, Gloria was basically satisfied, and although there was still a wry smile on the corner of her mouth, Gloria still closed her eyes in satisfaction.
It's already very good to have this intention, although there are few things like spoiling concubines and killing wives in real society, but it's not completely nothing, Gloria used to be a reporter, and she has heard of similar things, if Li Mu can stick to her promise, then Gloria thinks that she can turn a blind eye at some point.
It's hard to be confused.
In this matter, Li Mu does owe Gloria, but if Li Mu wants to completely abandon the relationship with Chu Xue, Li Mu really can't do it.
So far, Li Mu thinks that he can be rational most of the time after being reborn, but in this matter, Li Mu really has no choice.
Doing this is indeed unfair to Gloria and Chu Xue, but what can Li Mu do, if he doesn't want both, then it will be even more unfair to Gloria and Chu Xue.
"Where's Daddy?" Sandy finally shows up, breaking the rare warmth and calm.
"Change your clothes." Gloria didn't let go of Li Mu's arm, and even hugged it tighter.
Now Gloria is very sure of Sandy's heart for Li Mu, so Gloria has not been angry with Sandy in the past few months.
Although Li Mu and Gloria have established a relationship, Sandy is not discouraged, and behaves exactly the same as usual, as long as there is an opportunity, she will always appear by Li Mu's side.
For Sandy, Li Mu can swear to the sky, there is indeed only brother and sister love in his heart, and there is no meaning of men and women, but Li Mu has no way to explain it to Sandy, and only hopes that Sandy can adjust himself.
Girl Huaichun is actually a very beautiful thing, almost all girls will have fantasies about a certain opposite sex when they are young, even if the object is not suitable.
In Li Mu's opinion, Sandy is just a child, so it's normal to have fantasies, Li Mu doesn't want to brutally break the dream that Sandy has woven for himself, Li Mu thinks that over time, Sandy will come out of his dream by himself.
What is certain is that Sandy has not yet come out by himself, looking at Li Mu and Gloria's arms tightly together, Sandy pursed his lips imperceptibly, and said to himself: "Mr. Martin is here, do you want him to wait in the living room for a while?" ”
Martin is Will's personal lawyer and comes to Will to help him draft a will.
As a widower, and a widower of money and status, it is only natural for Will to leave a will before he gets engaged.
In fact, don't look at Gloria is now at the helm of Urban Beauty Magazine and Urban Beauty Store, in fact, the wealth controlled by Gloria is only a part of the wealth owned by the Barron family.
Even a small part.
The largest part of the Barron's wealth is undoubtedly a stake in the Kufma Group, which now owns about 20 percent of the Kufma Group, and with these shares alone, the Barron family has become one of the richest people in the world.
In addition to those shares, the Barrons also own a top-tier VIP account with San Diego Investments, with more than $15 million in liquid capital, a takeaway from Will's participation in the Battle of Montana.
When Will returned to New York from Montana, he brought back more than $10 million worth of gold and jewelry, which he gave to the San Diego Investment Company, which invested in it, and the Barron family only received dividends, and so far, the money has increased by 50 percent.
Will brought Martin in, mainly to divide the Barron's property.
Li Mu didn't know how Will would divide it before, and it wasn't until after dinner that Li Mu found an opportunity to be alone with Will.
“… To be honest, you don't need to leave money to Gloria, just with the Urban Beauty Magazine and the Urban Beauty Store that Gloria controls, Gloria has become one of the richest people, to be honest, what you should worry about is not whether Gloria can stand on her own, but whether Gloria can effectively control this wealth, which is what you should be most worried about. Li Mu was still coming up with ideas on the side.
Will also really loves Gloria, in addition to the Urban Beauty Magazine and the Urban Beauty Store controlled by Gloria, Will also left the shares of the Horse Group to Gloria, and made it clear that the only money he will give to Will II in the future is the money from the Santiago Investment Company.
As for Sandyville, it is not clear how much money will be left for Sandy, which is probably because Will considers that he is still young and will have the opportunity to earn a dowry for Sandy in the future, so he will deal with it.
"What's hers is hers, what's mine is mine, there's no conflict between the two, you should know what I'm worried about, so if possible, help me take care of Sandy." It is said that the daughter is her father's little padded jacket, but in fact, Will is doing well.
"I set up a Ryukyu company in the Ryukyus, would you like to join us as well?" Since Will is so generous, Li Mu is not stingy.
One of the biggest hidden dangers that Li Mu is facing now is the high market value of the Junma Group, because the market value of the Junma Group is too high, and at the same time, most of them are concentrated in the hands of Li Mu, the Barron family, and the Colombian Investment Company, so if someone uses this as a breakthrough to attack Li Mu, it may really cause some trouble to Li Mu.
In fact, for big families, cross-shareholding is very normal, and Li Mu also wants to make the shares of the Junma Group look more dispersed, but the only people Li Mu can trust are the Will family, and even the partners Carnegie and Rockefeller can't be fully trusted, so the current situation is the maximum that Li Mu can do.
Relatively speaking, the shares of the Ryukyu Company are more dispersed, although most of them are also in the hands of Li Mu and the San Diego Investment Company, but at the same time, Pan Tingzhen also has a lot of shares, even so, Li Mu still hopes that the shareholders of the Ryukyu Company can be more complicated, so that on the one hand, Li Mu does not look too aggressive, and at the same time can find more support for the Ryukyu Company.
Killing two birds with one stone.
"Forget about the Ryukyu company, I haven't been to Ryukyu at all, and I don't even know where Ryukyu is, so that's it for the shares, although I should still thank you, but I don't want to take the shares for nothing, don't worry, if there is a need on the Ryukyu side, someone will naturally stand up and take responsibility." Will is self-aware and refuses to take Li Mu's shares for nothing.
"Well... Seriously, if you make a will like this, won't Claudia have an opinion? Li Mu couldn't help but say more, relatively speaking, Li Mu's trust in Claudia was far less than Will's.
"Isn't 10 million dollars enough? If the second grows up, he will naturally understand how much money there is, as for Claudia, I don't know if you believe it or not, Claudia doesn't care about this. Will is not worried, in Will's opinion, this distribution method is the most reasonable, and no one can say half a word.
"Well, I hope so." Li Mu gave up persuasion, Will is already an adult, since he did this, there must be his reasons.
