When Zhuang Zhou said, "Zi is not a fish, you know the joy of fish", he must not know that the memory of the fish is only seven seconds, in fact, Li Mu does not know whether this is true, after all, Li Mu is not a scientist.

If people could be like fish, with only seven seconds of memory, then the world should be less strife and more peaceful.

This is not good news for Li Mu, there is no war, what will Li Mu, an arms dealer, eat?

Gloria didn't know that Li Mu was sighing about life, and seeing that Li Mu's eyes were never focused on herself, Gloria finally couldn't help but make some noise to attract Li Mu's attention.

"Bang"

A piece of sugar cube smashed on the calm water in front of Li Mu, the ripples spread layer by layer, and the leisurely fish were suddenly frightened and scattered.

"What are you doing?" Li Mu was taken aback, he really didn't mean to ignore Gloria, he was simply distracted too much.

However, Gloria dressed like this is indeed very eye-catching, and with Li Mu's richness in reading women on the Internet in the 21st century, she couldn't help but nod slightly in approval: "Yes, very beautiful!" ”

"yes, I think so too." Gloria was immediately in a good mood, shaking her head and beaming.

"How's your Ruili now?" It is reasonable to say that Li Mudu should show concern about Gloria's career, after all, there is still a part of the first snow.

"It's 'Urban Beauty.'" Gloria gritted her teeth, feeling like riding a roller coaster.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's "City Beauty", I forgot, I'm too busy at work during this time." Li Mu hurriedly apologized, it was really undeserved to have such a low-level mistake.

"I forgive you!" Gloria, who was full of queenly style, raised her head slightly, proud like a little hen that had finally begun to lay eggs.

"So, how is your "City Beauty" now?" Li Mu regained his rhythm.

"Very good, we have just sold four issues, and we have already sold more than 10,000 copies." Gloria is full of confidence, although this number is not as good as Time magazine, but it is enough to make Gloria proud.

Time Magazine is now the largest newspaper in the United States, with a circulation of nearly one million copies per issue, a number that is extremely rare considering the current literate population in the United States.

Of course, the huge sales are also related to the abundance of content in Time Magazine, which not only reviews current affairs and financial information, but also likes cartoons and photo news, which greatly increases the popularity of Time Magazine among the less educated.

In this regard, "Urban Beauty" borrowed from the newspaper concept of "Time Magazine", in order to make the color of the newspaper more vivid, more beautiful, and more in line with women's aesthetics, Gloria even commissioned the Horse Laboratory to start researching color film.

With the tone set by Li Mu, the content of "Urban Beauty" can be described as extremely rich, not only with landscape pictures and makeup skills, but also with a variety of life tips, and this part of life knowledge is the most popular among women, because of the existence of these plates, even if each copy of "City Beauty" is sold for as much as one dollar, men can't find a reason to object.

"Are you ready to launch your fashion brand now?" Gloria runs a newspaper, the ultimate goal is to sell things, looking at Gloria's dress, Li Mu thinks that Gloria and Chu Xue are ready.

I just don't know how beautiful such a set of clothes will be when worn on Chu Xue.

Li Mu is really looking forward to it.

"It's ready, we're ready to open our first store in Battery Park." As Li Mu expected, Gloria really set her sights on Fort Park.

The current Battery Park should be the most prosperous area of Manhattan, with beach clubs in and out of the rich, the headquarters of the Horse Group, Standard Oil, Morgan Bank, and Carnegie Riem Steel, as well as the most dense street lights in the United States and even the world.

You must know that in these days, under normal circumstances, women do not come out to work, especially for Rockefeller, J· For successful people like P. Morgan, even if their wives are well-born and highly educated, their only task is to raise their husbands and children at home, and they rarely have the opportunity to show up.

The Kufma Group is one of the few large enterprises that allow women to enter, because the salary level of the Junma Group is relatively high, so the employees of the Junma Group have good purchasing power, and the beach club often holds a variety of dinners that women can attend, which is the most enthusiastic activity for those wealthy ladies.

"Good eye! When will it open? I'll find a few people to help you out. Since Li Mu did not participate in the preparation of the store, Li Mu tried to help the store increase sales.

"No, I advertised in every issue of "Urban Beauty", so I don't have to worry about no customers when the time comes." Gloria was dismissive of Li Mushi.

Only then did Li Mu remember that Gloria in front of her was no longer the little girl she was at the beginning, with the publicity channel of "Urban Beauty", and with Will as the backing, Gloria really didn't need Li Mu's help.

"Well, I wish you all success." Li Mu was a little unhappy, but more relieved.

Gratified!

This word seems to appear more in fathers and daughters, and it is a bit inconsistent to use it here for Li Mu and Gloria.

However, Li Mu didn't feel much awkward, in the sum of his two lives, Li Mu was also thirty or forty years old, not a few years younger than Will, at least at the level of an uncle.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Sandy rode her horse like a gust of wind, stood at the water's edge and shouted to Li Mu, "Reem, come and ride with me." ”

Sandy was dressed as a rider and looked heroic, with a tight black suit, white breeches, shiny riding boots that reached below the knees, and the only thing that was a little discordant was that Sandy wore a golden cavalry helmet with a spear tip on the top and red tassels floating on it.

Li Mu looked at Sandy's helmet and felt a little familiar, and after looking at it carefully, Li Mu suddenly remembered that this seemed to be the trophy that Will brought back from Montana.

Oh, oh, well, this one is pure gold too.

"Who told you to go horseback riding? Have you done your homework? Gloria assumed the style of the eldest sister and reprimanded with a frosty face.

Coming to New York from Springfield, Sandy did not re-enroll, and now Sandy can be regarded as a sheep herder, and he is lawless.

After Will returned to New York from Montana last time, he hired a governess for Sandy, and the task of checking Sandy's studies fell to Gloria.

Sandy is also in a rebellious period, hearing Gloria's words, Sandy not only did not have the slightest fear, but put on an expression of grievance mixed with anger, which made people look really angry and funny: "I'm going to finish my homework until the evening, and now is my free time." ”

"You don't have free time, you'd better finish your homework before the sun goes down, or wait for Daddy to come back and watch your ass." Although Sandy's expression is a bit silly, Gloria doesn't eat this set at all, and Gloria who has entered queen mode is extremely majestic.

Will, who was born in the military, didn't have much patience when educating his two daughters, at least Li Mu used to be in Springfield, and he didn't see Sandy squeaking and screaming in Will's hands.

The past two years have been much less, after all, Sandy is already a pretty girl, and she is no longer the leather monkey who didn't open the roof for three days.

"Don't scare me with Dad, I hate you! Aubrey let's go! Sandy was not afraid at all, shook the reins, turned the horse's head and walked away.

Aubrey is Sandy's horse, and Sandy is followed by Pan, who screams and chases after Sandy when he sees Sandy galloping away, followed by a group of stumbling puppies.

"Wait, you're dead!" Gloria jumped to her feet in anger and ran to the pavilion with her skirt in her hand, threatening loudly without ladylike demeanor.

Li Mu covered his eyes and couldn't bear to look at it directly, but he couldn't help but persuade: "Sandy is not a child anymore, she knows what she should do." ”

"Don't think I don't know you're in this group!" Gloria was smoking all over her head, and she was going to catch and discipline whom.

"I'm in the same league as you..."Li Mu's eyes widened, trying to make his expression more sincere.

Gloria opened her mouth, but said nothing, but when she sat down in her chair again, her pretty face was a little crimson.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, Li Mu thought about it for a while, and decided to return to the original topic: "It is impossible for the store to open only one, where are you going to put the second one?" Boston? Or is it Washington? ”

Forgive this programmer who has never had a girlfriend, if it is in the face of a businessman or a politician, Li Mu can sway freely, but in the face of a girl, Li Mu is really inexperienced, I don't know how I should strike while the iron is hot.

Gloria was also rolling her eyes, puffing out her mouth and sighing in resignation, and combing the hair that was flowing from her sideburns, Gloria cleaned up her mood: "We haven't planned yet, we are going to open 3 to 5 stores in Manhattan, and then we will open the London and Paris markets." ”

Yes, this is the way of doing business, although Boston and Washington are good, but when it comes to the consumption power of luxury goods, they are not at the same level as London and Paris, and even Manhattan is not on the same level as London and Paris.

Although the old imperialist countries seem to be in decline, the heritage accumulated by hundreds of years of colonial expansion is still very deep, and no one knows how much wealth is hidden in those ancient castles of Europe.

"London or Paris... It's a great idea! Li Mu had to admit that if he was allowed to sell luxury goods, he would definitely not be able to create such a big family business as Junma Group.

In fact, the Horse Arms Company produced craft pistols, which can also be regarded as belonging to the ranks of luxury goods.

However, the gun is a thing, no matter how luxurious it is, it can't get rid of the basic function of fighting, so even if you sell a craft pistol for a thousand dollars, Li Mu will not admit that his horse group is involved in the luxury industry.

"$99.99 for a handbag, $49.99 for a hairpin, $199.99 for a pair of shoes or a dress, I'm afraid only Londoners and Parisians would consider such a price as normal." Gloria has a grudge against the pricing of goods, that is, the current Gloria, can reluctantly accept this price, if it was the former Gloria, I am afraid that only a madman would buy these things.

"This is only the preferential price during the soft opening period, and when it officially opens, all the prices will be increased by 100 percent." Li Mu is not afraid of high prices, for the luxury industry, there is no highest, only higher.

In fact, according to Li Mu's understanding, luxury goods don't need any styles and trends, getting a handful of $100 bills, or a bunch of gold and platinum, and wearing them with a rope around the body is the best way to show off.

If you want the so-called low-key luxury, you can exchange a hundred dollars for fifty dollars, and you can not repeat it every day.

"It's not good, and now at this price, I already feel very high." Gloria is not yet a successful businessman, or Gloria has not yet cultivated the thickness of Li Mu's skin.

"Is it high? I don't think you should ask if it's worth it, don't ask others, just ask yourself. Li Mu is confident that if the design that transcends the times for hundreds of years cannot sweep London and Paris in the 19th century, then Li Mu, a time-traveler, is really too much of a failure.

"Myself..."Gloria was a little embarrassed, looking down at her crystal slipper, biting her lip and looking at Li Mu's heart.

Today is not destined to be a good time to enhance the relationship, Li Mu had just found some feeling, and was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, when he saw Yan Shun holding a folder, hiding among the flowers on the shore and waving to him desperately.

Li Mu nodded slightly to Yan Shun, and gestured to Yan Shun very covertly, asking Yan Shun to wait in the office.

"If it's an occasional purchase, then it's not unacceptable." Gloria thought about it again and again, and finally admitted that she couldn't resist the temptation.

Gloria is relatively restrained, becoming the first heir to the Barron family, as the owner of "Urban Beauty", if Gloria wants, it is not difficult to buy anything.

"That's it, if you want it, then others want it too, think about it, if you live in London or Paris, and you have friends around you who have a beautiful handbag, but you don't have it, will that feeling drive you crazy?" Li Mu tried to sketch the image of a "gold worshipper", but if you think about it carefully, this setting doesn't seem to match Gloria.

Under normal circumstances, only women who have no money will become "gold worshippers", and rich women do not need to worship money, because gold will take the initiative to worship her.
