Although Raul Martinez was left alone, the other two candidates were not without gain, and Li Mu gave each of them a red envelope of one hundred dollars, which was considered their hard-earned money.
A hundred dollars, which is still very useful in Cuba in this era, can provide a family of five with food and clothing for at least two months, which is a surprise for the other two candidates.
Raul is also overjoyed to get this job, although Raul hates the Republic of Cuba, but Raul does not mind working for Li Mu, an American, living in this troubled world, there are not many options to choose from, and smart people will always be good at seizing every opportunity to change their fate.
Raul was very efficient, and he brought his grandchildren to Li Mu overnight that night, and he didn't want to delay for a moment.
The next morning, an unexpected stranger came to visit Li Mu.
Li Mu received the Cuban named Ricardo González in his study.
"Mr.
Ream, allow me to introduce myself, my name is Ricardo Gonzalez, the manager of the Cuban branch of Morgan Investments."
Ricardo had a respectful attitude, sitting opposite Li Mu's desk without a trace of relaxation, showing good upbringing.
Morgan promised to sell treasury bonds for Li Mu, and one of the conditions was to send someone to supervise whether Li Mu would keep his promise, and it seemed that Ricardo was the candidate sent by Morgan.
"Mr.
Ricardo, welcome to me, I am feeling understaffed here, and you have really helped me a lot."
Li Mu needs a "Cuba pass", at least a "Santiago pass", so that Li Mu can better open up the situation.
"More than happy to play for you."
Ricardo bowed his respects and did not think that Li Mu's request was presumptuous.
"Well, first of all, you have to do me a favor, help me investigate the background of Raul Martinez, I can't plant a time bomb around me, and at the same time you can introduce me to a few construction businessmen with a construction team, and I want to start building Guantanamo Bay as quickly as possible."
Li Mu first has to determine the loyalty of Raul Martinez, which is very important to Li Mu, relatively speaking, the construction team is not in a hurry, as long as there are dollars, Cuba has people.
"No problem, Mr.
Reem, I'll send you the relevant materials in three days at most."
Ricardo agreed very happily, and for Ricardo, the head snake, Li Mu's request was not troublesome.
In a sense, Li Mu is now a partner with Morgan, so Ricardo will do his best to help Li Mu, which is also the best way to ensure the safety of Morgan's investment.
It didn't take three days, and the next night, Ricardo brought relevant information about Raul.
Fortunately, Raul did not lie, which made Li Mu have a preliminary trust in Raul, as long as Raul is not a cold-blooded animal, then Raul will not be able to cooperate with the Republic of Cuba.
"I have a few information on the construction merchant here, Mr.
Ream, you can choose at will" Seeing Li Mu smile with satisfaction, Ricardo sent the second folder.
Santiago is in the midst of war, as long as he is not crazy, or as long as he does not have the confidence of Li Mu, he will not invest in construction in this kind of chaos, so the construction workers in Santiago are currently unemployed, and it is not too easy to find workers.
Li Mu flipped through the information in his hand, Ricardo was still very efficient, and listed the three largest construction businessmen for Li Mu, each with thousands of construction workers in his hands, which made Li Mu a little surprised.
Doesn't it mean that the Republic of Cuba does not have enough troops?
Where did so many people come from?
In Li Mu's concept, construction workers can be regarded as one of the best sources of soldiers, and it is really a waste to have so many construction workers unemployed at home.
Soon Li Mu understood why Cespedes didn't recruit these people into the army, these people's identities should now be said to be slaves, so they do not have the freedom to join the army, according to the current policy of the Republic of Cuba, even if they want to join the army, they must first obtain the consent of the slave owner.
This is such a policy, and it's no wonder that Céspedes is unpopular.
"Tell them that I am going to hire all their workers, and that they are going to concentrate them at Guantanamo Bay before April 15th, and that I will pay them according to the head of the day, and I will not wait for the deadline."
Li Mu doesn't want to help these slaves get out of the sea of suffering, that's not Li Mu's task now, Li Mu first wants to build Guantanamo Bay and bring money from Washington.
"No problem, in fact, if you want to hire for a long time, it is better to buy slaves directly, it will be more convenient."
Ricardo entered the role quickly, and now he knows how to help Li Mu save money.
"Don't be in a hurry about this problem, let's do this matter first" Li Mu doesn't want to buy slaves, in the long run, this investment will definitely lose money, because Li Mu will soon suggest that Cespedes completely abolish slavery in the Republic of Cuba, so that regardless of whether it will offend the conservatives, at least Céspedes can win the support of the people at the bottom of the Republic of Cuba.
That's right, after three days of careful consideration, Li Mu still intends to support Cespedes, not only because Cespedes and Li Mu signed an agreement, Li Mu needs Cespedes to guarantee the implementation of the agreement on stage, but also because Li Mu's antipathy to conservatives is already 1873, and the term "slavery" should become history.
As far as Li Mu knows, in the current Republic of Cuba, many Chinese are slaves, so if Li Mu wants to get more support, then Li Mu will have to rescue more Chinese.
Li Mu can now foresee that even if there is Cespedes' recognition, it is not easy for Li Mu to take Guantanamo Bay and Pine Island into his pocket, Li Mu needs more Cubans to recognize this agreement, then the Chinese in Cuba are the objects that Li Mu must woo, this can be regarded as equality and reciprocity, Li Mu rescued the Chinese in Cuba, and the Chinese in Cuba in turn supported Li Mu to obtain Guantanamo Bay and Pine Island, a very cost-effective deal.
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
Ricardo just made a suggestion, if Li Mu didn't take it, then Ricardo wouldn't be much disappointed, Ricardo got the order to supervise Li Mu, if Li Mu didn't have the posture of breaking the contract, then Ricardo would not interfere, and would only provide convenience for Li Mu.
Of course, Ricardo will report to Morgan on Li Mu's every move, which is also the value of Ricardo's existence.
Before the fifteenth of April arrived, an envoy from Washington arrived.
The special envoy is also an acquaintance of Li Mu, the director of the audit department of the Ministry of Finance, Greens Giles.

After Li Mu saw Green, he first gave Green a big hug, and then the two looked at each other and smiled, and a tacit understanding of a good friend who opened a black pit spontaneously arose.
"I've been looking forward to working together again since we worked together in Washington, D.C., and I didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly."
In Li Mu's living room, Green was in a good mood drinking chilled rum.
"Hahahaha, this time we won't pit those poor lottery players in Washington, let's pit the Republic of Cuba, I can guarantee that this time your profit will not only be a four-wheeled carriage."
Li Mu will write a check now, and promise to go out first.
Greens Giles came to see Li Mu as Grant's special envoy, and after Mahan handed over the report, Grant attached great importance to it and immediately sent Greens to discuss with Li Mu about the purchase of Guantanamo Bay.
That's right, Greens Giles came to see Li Mu not because of health and infectious diseases, but because of Guantanamo Bay.
For Grant, controlling the outbreak of infectious diseases is not a political achievement, because there is no reference, so this does not make much sense to Grant now.
Guantanamo Bay is different, since Grant became president, he has been criticized for the corruption of the bureaucracy, and Grant himself is under great pressure, if Grant buys Guantanamo Bay from Li Mu, then this is the credit of expanding the territory, which will become one of the few bright spots in Grant's tenure, so Grant's urgency can be imagined before.
"So, what kind of conditions have you prepared" Li Mu had no scruples, and just probed Grant's bottom line.
"Hahahaha, I don't tell you, on this issue, I can't betray His Excellency the President."
Greene Giles was half-joking, half-serious.
Li Mu is also a wonderful person, and he actually wants to plot against Green Giles, which cannot but be said to be a brain-opener.
What's more, looking at what Greens meant, the tone of rejection was not very intense, which was really speechless.
"Ishei."
Li Mu opened the conditions, and he didn't believe that Green Giles was not moved.
"One, one."
Greens swallowed.
It is impossible not to be tempted, Guantanamo Bay is worth at least tens of millions, and Li Mu offered a price of "one percent" to buy Greenwoods, which means that if Li Mu sells Guantanamo Bay to Washington at a price of 10 million US dollars, then Greenstones will get 1 million.
How can you not be tempted, the last time Li Mu and Green Giles partnered to sell lottery tickets, Green Giles's profit was only a four-wheeled carriage, even if two horses were added, the total value was no more than three thousand dollars.
As the director of the audit department of the Ministry of Finance, Green's annual salary is only $1,800, which is enough for Greens to earn for 46 years.
"Yes, Issei, don't refuse me, or I'll ask Washington for a replacement, I think Abel must be very interested in this job."
Li Mu made a heavy hand, and he must force Green Giles to agree.
Compared with Green Giles, Able is a money string, and he is also deeply trusted by Grant, if Li Mu suggests that Grant be replaced, then maybe he will really get his wish, and now Grant attaches enough importance to Li Mu and will not refuse Li Mu's request.
"You still haven't changed at all, you're just a bastard" Green Giles smiled helplessly, it seemed that the money would not work if you didn't want it.
