Although Li Mu refused to go to Panama, when November came, Li Mu left New York and headed for the Bahamas in the Caribbean.

Li Mu went to the Bahamas for a vacation, but also to escape the cold winter in New York, September has been particularly cold in the past two years, last winter, the temperature reached the lowest value on record, in December and January in just two months, about 2,000 people in New York City were frozen to death, frostbite is countless, New York City sanitation workers were very busy during that time, one of the main tasks of going to work every day is to collect corpses, this is not an exaggeration, at most there can be hundreds of corpses a day.

Of course, the vacation has to be a family, so Gloria and Chu Xue both went with Li Mu, and Sandy was added to the list before departure.

For the wealthy, vacations are still a part of their lives, and a theory has been developed to understand that proper rest leads to more energetic work.

In fact, it's all nonsense, this is a high-sounding excuse for being lazy, such as Henry, the general manager of the Junma Group, he can barely be among the rich now, but if you want Henry to take a month's vacation, the Junma Group has to mess up, but Li Mu can go on vacation casually, anyway, Li Mu's usual state at work is similar to that of vacation.

Although the aircraft has been successfully developed, but Li Mu still does not dare to take a plane to the Bahamas, at this stage, the safety of the aircraft is still hidden dangers, Boston Airlines sold to the Panama Canal Company ten planes, six of them have varying degrees of failure, one of them crashed in the line of duty, resulting in the death of two people on board, this matter was not made public, Boston Airlines compensated the survivors of the pension, and gave the Panama Canal Company two planes free of charge, so the matter was stopped.

After a week of drifting at sea, the Sea Ranger finally arrived at Grand Bahama Island, which is a real vacation, and there is no rush along the way, otherwise the Sea Ranger will be at full speed and will reach Grand Bahama Island in five days at most.

It has been three years since the last time he came to Grand Bahama Island, and Li Mu still remembers that it was on the beach of Grand Bahama Island that Li Mu and Green Giles decided to establish a beach club, and now the beach club has become the top organization of the American high society, with branches in all cities with a population of more than 100,000 people in the United States, and footprints all over the east and west coasts, which all originated from the whim of Li Mu and Green Giles at that time.

By the way, Green Giles finally returned to the United States last year, and then lost the Michigan gubernatorial race, and now Green Giles is also planning to run for the Senate, and Li Mu has promised to help Green Giles when the time comes.

Compared with the desolation three years ago, the current Grand Bahama Island can almost be described as a fairyland on earth.

Grand Bahama Island originally had excellent natural harbors, but there was no permanent population on the island at the beginning, so no one cared about it.

After Li Mu bought Daba Hama Island, the first project was to build a port, so around the port, there is now a new city, and this city also has a name with a very oriental charm - Taoyuan.

That's right, the idea of this name comes from Tao Yuanming's "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", which symbolizes that the Chinese have finally established a paradise of their own overseas.

It is indeed a happy land, and now on Grand Bahama Island, there are nearly 10,000 permanent residents, most of these permanent residents are Chinese, a small number of Cubans, and also have close relations with the Chinese, most of them are Chinese spouses, in this regard, Li Mu has no objection, as long as it is not black.

In fact, Cubans are still very in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese, especially Cuban women, no matter what they look like, there is absolutely nothing to say about the body proportions, and it is no wonder that most of the future supermodels and Miss World are from the Caribbean.

With the experience of building Guantanamo and the Port of Santiago, the city of Taoyuan can finally truly use the talents of its designers, which can be regarded as a model for the construction of the city by the Junma Construction Group to date.

There are no mountains on Grand Bahama Island, so Taoyuan City is built on a hill, which makes the whole city look a little bit of a taste of mountains and rivers, the designers have ingeniously designed blue roofs and white walls for all the buildings in Taoyuan City, and as a result, all the buildings seem to have almost no trace of clumsiness and deliberateness, hidden in the almost endless lush bushes, and the whole city is as beautiful as a fairy tale world.

Thanks to Li Mu's ownership of the entire Dominican Lake, he has spared no effort in road construction, and the main roads in the city are all asphalt pavement, and the standard is naturally the highest level, and the future highway is also like this.

Leaving the main road, all the auxiliary roads are paved with stone slabs, which are all from Cuba and are actually by-products of copper mining.

The acting city lord of Taoyuan City is still Li Fei, and he now spends at least half of his time in Nassau every month, and the rest of the time is also running between Cuba and the Bahamas, and he spends little time in Taoyuan City.

Because Li Mu was going to take a vacation, Li Fei had already returned to Grand Bahama Island in advance, so as soon as the Sea Ranger docked, Li Fei jumped up in a hurry and insisted on serving as Li Mu's guide.

Li Mu can understand Li Fei's mood, speaking of which Li Mu is also big-hearted, when he raised the United States of Cuba, Li Mu turned around and went back to New York, and handed over all the mess of Grand Bahama Island to Li Fei, and now Li Fei has finally made some achievements, Li Mu can understand Li Fei's eagerness to show: "Taoyuan has now become a gathering place for our Chinese in South America second only to Treasure Island, the current permanent population of the island is more than 9,000, and it is expected to exceed 10,000 around Christmas, which is actually the result of our great control. If we let go of the absorption of population, Taoyuan can exceed 100,000 people in one or two years, which is not in line with our expectations, so we rejected the vast majority of applications, and some talents that we really can't refuse, we will allow them to live in Taoyuan. ”

That's right, Li Mu almost forgot that in Cuba, there is a larger Treasure Island, which is also the property of the Horse Group.

Treasure Island is actually the Isle of Jutsu, and the United Republic of Cuba sold the Isla of Juud to the Kuama Group as a reward for its support to the Kufma Group.

Such an act is undoubtedly a traitorous act in the 21st century, but it is the most normal in this era, but before the United Cuban States sold the island of youth to the horse group, there was only one prison built by the Spaniards on the island of youth, which is now in a state of abandonment, for the United States of Cuba, the prison on the island is simply a shame, always reminding the Cubans of the humiliation of being enslaved by the Spaniards, and the sale of the island of youth to the horse group also symbolizes the history of getting rid of that humiliation, as for the prospects and actual value of Qingdao, to be honestAnd no one really pays attention to that now.

Uh, well, in fact, the Youth Island at this stage is not called Youth Island, but Pine Island, after getting Pine Island, in order to erase the traces of the Spaniards, Li Mu renamed Pine Island to Treasure Island, which is more in line with Li Mu's memory.

"It is absolutely unshakable to control the absorption of the population and ensure the dominant position of the Chinese in Grand Bahama Island, and at the same time there are Treasure Island and other islands, as long as they are under our control, the Chinese must dominate, otherwise they will be empty." Li Mu is determined in this regard, this is almost the last chance to occupy these "no man's land", Li Mu will not see the opportunity slipping away from his fingertips in vain no matter what.

In fact, today, when countries around the world are trying to increase their population, Li Mu's approach is a bit deviant, but Li Mu is more aware of the future situation, such as Grand Bahama Island, if it is impossible to maintain the dominant position of the Chinese, then sooner or later, Grand Bahama Island will be out of the control of the Chinese, and then it will be regretted.

Taking 10,000 steps back, the Qing Empire currently has the world's largest population of 400 million, accounting for almost 1/4 of the world's population, so as long as Li Mu persistently immigrates from the Qing Dynasty, there is no need to worry about the population problem, so there is no need to absorb foreign population.

"Hehe, I know, the referendum you mentioned, I want to find an opportunity to experiment, if possible, then the entire Bahamas will be ours." Li Fei has ideals, and when he found out from Li Mu's description that the Chinese had the opportunity to expand their territory in South America, Li Fei couldn't hold back his excitement at all.

"Don't worry, this has to be done slowly..."Li Mu knew that it was not time yet, and he was not ready, and it would take at least thirty or forty years to wait for the rise of the "referendum".

In the past, it was probably after the First World War that the "referendum" gradually took root in the hearts of the people at the suggestion of US President Wilson.

Of course, in the hands of some conspirators, the "referendum" has also become a tool to manipulate public opinion and achieve their own ulterior goals, and the most impressive thing for Li Mu is undoubtedly Crimea, Li Mu still remembers that the Crimean referendum at that time directly subverted Li Mu's perception of the world.

In the Bahamas, as long as the dominant position of the Chinese as a whole can be guaranteed, even if the number of Chinese is not dominant on some individual islands, then the Chinese can also decide the fate of the Bahamas, which is the so-called subordination of the individual to the whole.

After getting on the dock, Li Mu and Li Fei got on a very classical style of open-top four-wheeled carriage, this kind of carriage has a strong European style, and there are wrought iron lanterns with glass covers on the wheels, of course, it will not come in handy at this time, and it will not have a special charm until the evening.

Although thanks to the close relationship with the Junma Group, there are already cars on Grand Bahama Island, and Mobil Oil has also opened a gas station in Taoyuan City, Li Mu plans to fix the four-wheeled carriage as a means of transportation for a long time, and it may become a very personalized tourism project in the future, which still has a certain gimmick.

Of course, this is not a gimmick at this time, the carriage that Li Mu and Li Fei are riding in is a tall shire horse, and its majesty is almost limited to Will's Prometheus, walking on the asphalt-paved main road of the city, it is indeed very visually impactful.

"These villas here have basically all been sold, most of the buyers are senior executives of the Junma Group, and there are also rich people from Cuba, and there are also wealthy people from Europe to inquire, but the purchase intention is not strong, we plan to make Taoyuan a city with tourism and leisure as the main body, look at the sun and sand here, they are absolutely right to name Taoyuan, if we can, we can also operate some entertainment facilities on the island, that will make Taoyuan more attractive..." Li Fei introduced as he walked, and from time to time he would put forward his own opinions.

The whole city is centered on the main road, divided into residential area and commercial area, which is a bit of a clear meaning, across the road is a patch of villas, blue roofs and white walls, against the background of lush vegetation and blue sky like jewels, giving people the feeling of a lazy taste in the heart, even if it is just a casual look, the body and mind can be greatly relaxed.

On the other hand, there is a lively commercial street on this side of the road, almost all of which are in Chinese signs, and the plaques on the doors of many shops look a little mottled, and I don't know if it really has such a long history, or if it is deliberately old.

Above the street, there are also pennants that have almost disappeared in the 21st century, often with only one Chinese character on them, which concisely indicates the attributes of the store itself.

Among the rows of shops, Li Mu actually saw the specialty stores of urban beauties and men's clothing, these two stores still appear together, and they are extremely magnificent three-story stone buildings, the height of each floor is definitely not three meters, at least five meters up, the style of the door number is the same as that of urban beauties and men's clothing in other cities, which has begun to use the CI system, and is definitely on top of the world trend.

"Be careful not to sell out of the house, keep me a few of the best ones for me to use." Li Mu has not forgotten the vision of Green Giles at the beginning, such a beautiful scenery, of course, it is interesting to share it with friends.

"Keep it, the one on the top of the mountain, a total of 18 buildings, if it is not enough, it can be built again, but the terrain will not be so good." Li Fei regretted a little, this is also because there are no mountains around Taoyuan City, otherwise there is not as much land as there is.

Actually, this is not bad, but scarcity is expensive.
