Isla des Juventuds, once used by the Spaniards as a prison for Cuban rebels, is now privately owned by Li Mu and is best used to hold Stone and Henderson.

If, according to tradition, Li Mu should have hanged the stone and Anderson in Nassau Harbor, but Li Mu did not plan to do that, these two people are alive and will play a greater value, if the British insist on blaming the San Diego Investment Company for Sean Bradley's death, then these two people will be the killer weapon in Li Mu's hands.

The British did not know that Stone and Henderson were still alive, and did not know what kind of reply Ulysses Grant had given to the British, and in early July, the British envoy with full powers to investigate the matter sent a letter to President Shelvestre of the United States of Cuba, requesting that the captains of the two armed merchant ships, the Water Hound and the Great White Shark, who had been involved in quelling the unrest that night, be investigated.

In the face of the British, Ulysses Grant could barely straighten his waist, and Sylvester could only compromise on it, and compared with the "empire on which the sun never sets", which was still in its prime, the new United States of Cuba was as weak as a baby, and had no capital to refuse.

When the president is in Sylvester, he is also aggrieved, he has to pretend to be a grandson when facing the British, and he is also unconfident in the face of Li Mu, if he wants to investigate the captain of the San Diego Investment Company, he must first talk to Li Mu, if Li Mu does not allow it, then Sylvester is a mouse in the bellows.

Fortunately, Li Mu did not give Sylvester a problem, and agreed that the captains of the "Water Hound" and the "Great White Shark" would be investigated, and they couldn't find anything in English anyway, and maybe they would have to issue medals to the two captains.

Well, it is estimated that the issuance of medals is unlikely, but the necessary gratitude should still be there, after all, if it were not for the timely arrival of the "Water Hound" and "Jaws", it is estimated that the whole of Nassau would have been reduced to ruins.

Since the British have always prided themselves on their "gentlemanly demeanor", they should be fair in their dealings, and they should be reciprocated by the grace of others.

Li Mu didn't pay much attention to what would be written in the British's investigation report, anyway, with the stone and Henderson in hand, Li Mu was already invincible, even if the British found out the truth of the matter, Li Mu could throw the stone and Henderson out to counteract.

Since he has no fear, Li Mu's mood is quite relaxed and happy.

On July 15th, the world's first urban beauty store opened in Manhattan's Battery Park.

City Beauty Store is a luxury store specializing in women, with everything from clothing to shoes to bags and jewelry, Gloria claims to meet all the needs of women according to Li Mu's one-stop shopping concept.

The boss of Urban Beauty is Gloria, but there is a stake in Chuxue, so on July 15th, Li Mu and Will went to Battery Park together to stand for Chuxue and Gloria.

Li Mu has done a lot of this kind of thing, it can be said that he is familiar with the road, but Will can't, it is the first time for him to attend such an occasion, so he is not used to it.

"Sherman made Dickens the commander of the Second Division, this appointment is just, what will Dickens do? I guarantee that he can't even memorize the "Army Drill Code", and to let such a person be the military commander of a unit, Sherman is simply crazy..."Standing at the door of the urban beauty store, Will chattered endlessly, and kept repeating those things in the army.

The War Department decided to form the Second Army Cavalry Division on the basis of the First Army Cavalry Division, and Sherman's old subordinate Dickens was appointed commander of the Second Division.

The 2nd Cavalry Division was organized exactly the same as the 1st Cavalry Division, with all weapons procured from the Horse Arms Company and a list of equipment including 75mm infantry rapid-fire guns.

The Second Cavalry Division numbered more than 9,600 people, and the total amount of orders was nearly $1.5 million, and this order would bring nearly $600,000 in profits to the Horse Weapons Company.

It sounds like Will and Dickens are a bit out of place, it is estimated that this is exactly the result Sherman wants to see, if Sherman appoints Will's friend as the commander of the Second Army Cavalry Division, then Sherman will be in danger of being overlooked, no matter which leader does not want to be a group of harmony under his command, good leaders are masters of playing balance.

"Come on, John, come over for a drink..."Li Mu didn't pay attention to Will's complaint at all, those men who accompanied his wife to the store were the objects of Li Mu's greeting.

There is a waiting area in the City Beauty store, and men who accompany women to the store can choose to rest in the waiting area if they are tired.

Cigars and champagne were prepared in the waiting area, which were imported and worth a lot of money, but in the end, it was all wool from the sheep, which Li Mu and Gloria were sure of.

Now Li Mu is already at the top of the pyramid, and there are not many people worthy of Li Mu's personal invitation, and John Rockefeller must be among them.

"Do you still have the heart to do this? I really envy you young people, you are full of energy. Rockefeller shook his head again and again, amazed at Li Mu's unprofessionalism.

There are still very few entrepreneurs in the United States who operate across borders, and those who dig oil are those who are dedicated to digging oil, and those who make steel are those who have no distractions in steelmaking, and there is only one person like Li Mu who has a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west.

Rockefeller has tried his best to keep up with Li Mu's pace, but when he saw the urban beauty store in front of him, Rockefeller was completely willing to bow down.

You are an arms dealer, you can barely talk about investing in laboratories, schools, electrical appliances, etc., and now you have a specialty store to earn women's money?

To be honest, Rockefeller now feels like he has been on a thief ship by mistake, and his laboratory has not seen any results, which makes Rockefeller very disappointed.

"No, no, no, it's not mine, it's just a useful attempt by Miss Will, and maybe she'll start a new industry." Li Mu categorically denied that it was really not good to make money from women.

At present, in the United States, and even in the world, except for Li Mu, it is estimated that no one has really discovered the potential of women's consumption, and this business is really much easier than digging oil to make machine guns or something.

A barrel of oil dug out of the ground costs close to $2.5, and even if it is used more thoroughly now, gasoline can only be sold for $5 at most, generating a profit of $2.5.

Luxury is much more exaggerated, a small handbag, even if even the logo is made of gold, the cost is only about ten dollars, such a bag in the urban beauty store, the cheapest is 99.99 US dollars.

"Cut, don't use Miss Will as a pretense, look at the pricing in this store, 99.99, 199.99... Only you, a profiteer, would set such a price, can you say that all this has nothing to do with you? Rockefeller didn't believe it at all, he knew Li Mu very well, better than he knew himself.

When it came to this, Li Mu didn't have the face to continue to deny it, and he wanted to tear the topic away.

"That's right, the price is set too dark, a pair of shoes is 199.99, a handbag is the cheapest 99.99, and even a hat is 59.99, Miss Will is such a simple person, she won't come up with so many tricks." Carnegie also came with his wife, and it seems that Carnegie's wife bought a lot of things just now, and even people like Carnegie feel a little painful.

"I said that our group of people are so desperate to make money, don't we just want our families to shop as they like? Do you want to take your wealth to the grave, you misers? Li Muyi is righteous, and what he said is awe-inspiring.

"You guy who doesn't even have a wife, don't talk nonsense here!" In response to Li Mu, it was a neat circle of middle fingers.

"I gotta say, we all underestimated this store," John Vanderbilt sat on one of the outermost couches with a glass of champagne in his hand, watching the crowd stream thoughtfully.

It really can't be underestimated, it can make a group of top tycoons feel the pain in their flesh, which shows how attractive the goods in the urban beauty store are to women.

Basically, no one came here empty-handed, everyone bought and bought as if they didn't need money, and they looked like crazy, and John Vanderbilt even saw Rockefeller's wife buy a pair of shoes for every one of the shoes in the store.

It is roughly estimated that after such a morning, the turnover of the store should be at least about 100,000 yuan.

This figure should not be underestimated, this is the dollar of 1875, the purchasing power is still very secure, and the annual turnover of a medium-sized enterprise is more than 100,000 dollars.

"Business can't be so good every day, otherwise I would want to change careers." Solomon Lob had a devastated face, as a Jew, Solomon Lob had always thought that his earning power was no worse than anyone else's, but today's scene made Solomon Lob blush.

"If you're envious, hurry up, haven't you noticed? It only sells women's products, not men's products, so you still have a chance. "Rockefeller helped with the idea, this is a master who doesn't think it's a big deal to see the excitement.

"Hahaha... If you were to make a store that specializes in men's products, you could be killed. Carnegie didn't think it was a good idea.

Indeed, for Li Mu and his gang, every item on their bodies, even the handkerchief on their chest, is custom-made, and most of the goods in the Urban Beauty store are mass-produced industrial products, so Carnegie doesn't think he will buy from here, and only those who value style and trend but women are so impatient.

"No, no, Andrew, you're wrong, of course your suit and shirt have to be made, but your shoes and belt are not necessarily, and your wallet and watch or something, you can't wear formal clothes 24 hours a day, right?" Vanderbilt doesn't think so, and it seems that he did put his mind to it.

Do men have a demand for luxuries?

Of course there is, and because men are the heads of the family and the pillars of the family, men need to save face even more.

That's someone like Carnegie, who is custom-made from head to toe, including underwear, so naturally he doesn't need to come here to buy things, but not everyone is as powerful as Carnegie and has enough financial resources to seek customization, and most people just need to get by.

Even if you were Carnegie, you couldn't wear formal clothes every day, such as when hunting, do you go hunting with a three-piece suit and a shotgun? Come on, choose the right outfit for different occasions, which is both respect for others and respect for yourself.

Li Mu does not participate in such discussions, just like Li Mu said, the urban beauty store is just a useful attempt by Gloria, and next, if the urban beauty store succeeds in women's products, then Gloria will take advantage of the trend to enter the men's clothing market, which is a virgin land that no one has cultivated.

Of course, this kind of thing has to be explained in detail, Li Mu's attitude is the same as before, competition is not necessarily a bad thing, whether it is Vanderbilt or Carnegie, or Solomon, as long as they want to enter the men's clothing market, Li Mu will welcome it.

The most likely should be Vanderbilt, but it is not easy to make this decision, although the Vanderbilt family is now barely considered a cross-border operation, while doing their old railroad, and on the other hand to operate cars, but this is still in the transportation industry, clothing is definitely a new industry for the Vanderbilt family, the Vanderbilt family has never been involved before.

"I think it's a good idea, Reem, and we need to talk about it." Unexpectedly, the first to make the decision was Solomon Lobu.

If you think about it carefully, it is understandable that among the people present, the relationship between Solomon Lob and Li Mu is the most unstable, and if you want to quickly increase the intimacy of your relationship with Li Mu, it is definitely a good idea to do business together.

Of course, this is also because the current men's clothing market has not shown enough value, so there should be no bad incidents against each other, in other words, the plate is too small, and I can't afford this money, it's just a new toy.

"Of course, Mr. Solomon, there's an auction at Castle Clinton on Saturday night, and I hope we'll have a good chat then." Li Mu sent an invitation to Solomon Lob.

Beach club auctions have become a regular practice, taking place every Saturday night, and the subject matter can be described as varied, from the sale of books and stocks, whether it is a gentleman's collection or a country's art.

"That's great, I'm hoping to talk to you, you've been moving a lot lately, if you have any good projects, be sure to bring me." Solomon Lobb didn't take a shelf, and his posture was very low.

In front of Li Mu, Solomon Lobu is not qualified to take a shelf, this is a society where the weak eat the strong, and the strength is not as good as others, so you have to pretend to be a grandson honestly.
