Chapter 411: The Development of Friendship Company
A pot of fragrant tea brewed in Wuyi Mountain's big red robe. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
A few plates of elaborate pastries.
An ancient book.
Spend a wonderful tea time in the gazebo on the lawn.
Li Mu will occasionally admire the maids around him, showing their graceful posture when they are busy.
Time is leisurely and pleasant.
Since returning to Lee's Manor, he has really laid back and lost the way he was busy in South Africa and Africa.
"Sir, Mr. Dracula is here."
After Abel returned to the manor, he resumed his status as a housekeeper, without the dust and dust of his time in Africa, wearing a crisp tuxedo, like a housekeeper of a large European family.
Putting down the teacup and putting the ancient book on his lap, Li Mu said helplessly: "This guy can't let me rest for a few more days, it's only been three days, as for being in such a hurry?" ”
"Sir, Mr. Dracula has something important to say." Able said with a smile.
Li Mu saw the carriage driving into the manor, and said in disbelief: "What can there be, it is nothing more than the South African war problem of the United States, or the development of the Friendship Company." ”
"Come to think of it, Mr. Dracula should have said this, and in the past few days since I came back, I have also learned that the American Civil War is coming to an end, and the White House represented by Mr. Lincoln is about to win." Abel told the news he had learned in the past few days.
"Really?"
Li Mu looked at Abel, his eyes fell on the black skin, and said, "Abel, have you seen what our Mr. Lincoln said about slavery. ”
"Yes, sir, as Mr. Lincoln said, Mr. Lincoln is indeed abolishing slavery, but I believe that not only me, but the servants of the manor, will not leave the manor." At the end, Abel expressed his thoughts to Li Mu and the thirteen maids of the manor.
As for Natasha's four cyborgs, Abel does not have the right to represent.
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Okay, I know, even if you want to leave, I don't plan to stop you." ”
For the thirteen human maids of the third smuggling plane of the Li Manor, he didn't make too many requirements, or make many rules.
It's not like other slave owners, desperately squeezing these bought slaves.
The thirteen maids of the Li Manor, including Able, are all very free and do not have too many constraints, and they only need to do their jobs well.
The rest of the time, these maids can ride horses in the manor, or do some activities, just like a few maids are chasing and playing on the lawn after finishing their work.
Or, they can take their living expenses and go out shopping in groups, but only if one of the two cyborgs, Steve and Arnold, is with them.
Such a regulation is not that Li Mu is afraid that the maids will run away, but that these maids are afraid that they will encounter accidents when they are shopping.
It's a time of war, even though the city of Washington is far from the war.
For the sake of safety, one of Steve's two still has to follow, and Li Mu will rest assured.
For example, today is Arnold going out shopping with a few maids.
Under such relaxed conditions, not to mention that Lincoln had just made such a declaration, even if the slavery system in the United States was completely abolished, he believed that the thirteen maids on the manor who had no basic ability to survive would not be willing to leave the manor.
"Sir, no." Able assured with a smile.
"Abel won't do anything?"
Approaching Dracula. Ben Silen interjected and asked, then looked at Li Mu, who was sitting leisurely in the gazebo, and complained: "Li, you are so leisurely, no wonder you didn't want to take care of the affairs of the friendship company at the beginning, and you didn't even want to hold a position, no, I asked for an increase in shares." ”
"Mr. Dracula."
Dracula. Ben Silen nodded to Abel who greeted him, and sat down on the rattan chair next to Li Mu.
"Okay, I'll agree to give you an additional stake in Friendship Corporation." Li Mu said with a smile, picked up a cup on the table by the way, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Dracula. Ben Slen.
Dracula. Ben Slen took the teacup, was stunned, shook his head and said, "I don't want it, I was joking just now, so it's good." ”
He won't be stupid, the stake has increased, but it is possible to completely lose Li Mu's friend and important partner, especially those goods that are selling well.
Li Mu smiled and quipped: "This is what you said you didn't want, not that I won't increase your shares." ”
Dracula. Ben Slen took a sip of tea and reluctantly admitted: "Yes, yes, it's me who is stupid, it's me who didn't take such a good opportunity." ”
Li Mu laughed.
Dracula. Ben Lun continued, "But, Lee, when are you going to send another batch of goods?" ”
Li Mu stopped smiling and asked, "What's the matter, the goods are sold out?" ”
Dracula. Ben Slen stretched out three fingers and said, "Three years, three years, Lee, it's been more than three years since you left the United States and left Washington for which damn Africa." ”
"In the past three years, Lee, do you know how far our Friendship Department has developed? In the first year, Friendship Company began to open branches and branches in the states and cities surrounding Washington State. ”
"The following year, the Friendship Department of Friendship began to open in the Southern states in the footsteps of the White House Federal Army."
"By the third year, Friendship Department Store was already popping up in most of the big cities of the United States."
"The goods you gave me can last for a few years in Washington State, or a few states, but in most states in the United States, these goods are a drop in the bucket, and in Qing Guo's words, they are a drop in the bucket."
Li Mu was stunned for a moment and said, "The sales are out so soon?" ”
Dracula. Ben Silen smiled proudly: "What's more, some friendship department stores are out of stock, and there is no place to buy them if you want to, so you can only go to other states or nearby big cities to buy them." ”
Listen to Dracula. As soon as Ben Silun said this, Li Mu understood, it seems that no matter what era it is, as long as it is a hot item, no matter how expensive it is, there are a large number of people who buy it.
Just like a certain fruit mobile phone on the plane, some people can't afford it at all, but these people have to buy it even if they sell their kidneys.
For this point, Li Mu didn't understand it very much, just like the third smuggling plane, it was clear that tens of millions of goods were sold out in three years, which was simply incredible.
He knew, Dracula. Ben Schlen sets a lot of money for those goods.
"Abel go get what I prepared yesterday." Then, Li Mu turned to Dracula. Benslen said, "Goods, it will take a while, and next time, I will provide you with other new products, but you have to help me with one thing first, and this matter will also be good for Friendship Company." ”
"Say it, Li say it."
