Although Raul Martinez was left alone, the other two candidates were not without gains. Li Mu gave each of them a red envelope of 100 US dollars, which was their hard-earned money.

One hundred dollars is still very useful in Cuba in this era. It can at least allow a family of five to have food and clothing within two months, which is an unexpected surprise for the other two candidates.

Raul was overjoyed to get this job. Although Raul hated the Republic of Cuba, Raul did not mind working for Li Mu, an American. Living in this troubled times, there was not much room for choice. Smart people are always good at seizing every opportunity to change their destiny.

Raul was very efficient. He brought his grandchildren to Li Mu overnight that night, without any delay.

The next morning, an expected stranger came to visit Li Mu.

Li Mu received the Cuban named Ricardo Gonzalez in the study.

"Mr. Rim, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ricardo Gonzalez, the manager of the Cuba branch of Morgan Investment Company." Ricardo was respectful and sat opposite Li Mu's desk without any relaxation, showing good education.

Morgan promised to sell treasury bonds for Li Mu. One of the conditions was to send someone to supervise whether Li Mu would keep his promise. It seemed that Ricardo was the candidate sent by Morgan.

"Mr. Ricardo, welcome you. I feel that there is not enough staff here. You have really helped me." Li Mu needs a "Cuba Tong", at least a "San Diego Tong", so that Li Mu can better open up the situation.

"I'm very happy to serve you." Ricardo bowed and did not think that Li Mu's request was presumptuous.

"Okay, first of all, you have to do me a favor and help me investigate Raul Martinez's background. I can't bury a time bomb next to me. At the same time, you can introduce me to several construction merchants with construction teams. I want to start construction of Guantanamo Bay as quickly as possible." Li Mu first must confirm Raul Martinez's loyalty. This is very important to Li Mu. Relatively speaking, the construction team is not in a hurry. As long as there are US dollars, Cuba has people.

"No problem, Mr. Reim, I will send you relevant information in three days at most." Riccardo agreed very happily. For Riccardo, the local 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 turned out that it was useless for three days. The next night, Ricardo brought relevant information about Raul.

Fortunately, Raul did not lie, which gave Li Mu a preliminary trust in Raul. As long as Raul was not a cold-blooded animal, it would be impossible for Raul to cooperate with the Republic of Cuba.

"I have a few information about the builder here, Mr. Lim, you can choose as you like--" Seeing Li Mu smile with satisfaction, Ricardo sent the second folder.

San Diego is in war. As long as you are not crazy or as long as you don’t have the confidence of Li Mu, you will not invest in and build in such a mess. Therefore, San Diego construction workers are currently unemployed, so it’s not too easy to find workers.

Li Mu opened the information in his hand and found that Ricardo was still very efficient and listed three largest builders for Li Mu, each with thousands of construction workers, which surprised Li Mu a little.

Didn’t it mean that the Republic of Cuba is insufficient?

Where do so many people come from?

In Li Mu's concept, construction workers can be regarded as one of the best sources of troops. It is really a waste to have so many construction workers unemployed at home.

Li Mu soon understood why Cespedes did not recruit these people into the army. The identities of these people should be said to be slaves now, so they do not have the freedom to join the army. According to the current policies implemented by the Republic of Cuba, even if they want to join the army, they must first obtain the consent of the slave owner.

This is really a nonsense policy, no wonder Cespedes is unpopular.

"Tell them that I want to hire all their workers. Before April 15, they will concentrate people in Guantanamo Bay. At that time, I will pay according to the head and not wait for the deadline." Li Mu did not want to help these slaves escape from the sea of ​​suffering. That was not Li Mu's current task. Li Mu first had to build Guantanamo Bay and let the money be pitted from Washington.

"No problem. In fact, if you want to hire for a long time, it's better to buy slaves directly, as it will be more convenient." Ricardo quickly entered the role, and now he knows how to help Li Mu save money.

"Don't worry about this problem, let's do it 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 Cespides completely abolish slavery in the Republic of Cuba, so that regardless of whether it will offend conservatives, at least Cespides can win the support of the lower class people of the Republic of Cuba.

That's right, after three days of careful consideration, Li Mu still planned to support Cespides. This is not only because Cespides and Li Mu signed an agreement. Li Mu needed Cespides to ensure the implementation of the agreement on the stage, but also because Li Mu's disgust with conservatives. It has been 1873. The term "slavery" has come to be the time to 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 rescue more Chinese. Compared with white people, Li Mu must trust Chinese more. If he is not my race, his heart will be different.

Li Mu can now foresee that even with Cespedes' recognition, it would not be easy for Li Mu to take Guantanamo Bay and Pine Tree Island into his pocket. Li Mu needs more Cubans to recognize this agreement, so the Chinese in Cuban are the targets that Li Mu must win over. This is equality and reciprocity. Li Mu rescued the Chinese in Cuban, and the Chinese in Cuban in turn support Li Mu to obtain Guantanamo Bay and Pine Tree Island, which is a very cost-effective deal.

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Ricardo just made a suggestion. If Li Mu didn't accept it, Ricardo wouldn't be much lost. Ricardo got the order to supervise Li Mu. If Li Mu did not break the contract, Ricardo would not interfere and would only provide convenience for Li Mu.

Of course, Ricardo will report Li Mu's every move to Morgan, which is also the value of Ricardo's existence.

The envoy from Washington arrived before April 15th.

The envoy is also an acquaintance of Li Mu, Green Giles, director of the Audit Department of the Ministry of Finance.

After Li Mu met Green, he gave Green a big hug first, and then the two looked at each other and laughed. A sense of tacit understanding of a good friend who was in a black pit was aroused.

"Since we worked together in Washington, I have been looking forward to working together again, but I didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly." In Li Mu's living room, Green was in a happy mood while drinking iced rum.

"Hahahaha--This time we won't cheat the poor lottery players in Washington, we'll cheat the Republic of Cuba. I can guarantee that your profit this time is not just a four-wheeled carriage." Li Mu will write a check now and promise to go out first.

Green Giles came to meet Li Mu as Grant's special envoy. After Mahan handed over the report, Grant attached great importance to it and immediately sent Green Giles to discuss with Li Mu about the purchase of Guantanamo Bay.

That's right, Green Giles came to meet 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 mean much to Grant now.

Guantanamo Bay is different. Since Grant served as president, he has been criticized for the corruption of the bureaucratic class. Grant himself is under great pressure. If Grant buys Guantanamo Bay from Li Mu, then this is the credit for expanding territory. This will become one of the few highlights during Grant's tenure, so Grant's urgency can be imagined before.

"So, what conditions have you prepared?" Li Mu found out Grant's bottom line without any scruples.

"Hahahaha-Don't think about it, I won't tell you that I can't betray Your Excellency the President on this issue." Green Giles half-joking and half-serious.

Li Mu is also a wonderful person. He actually wanted to instigate Green Giles to rebel. It is a big idea.

Even more, looking at Green Giles' meaning, the tone of rejection was not very intense, which was really speechless.

"10%." Li Mu made the condition and did not believe Green Giles was not moved.

"One, one percent." Green Giles swallowed violently.

It is impossible not to be moved. Guantanamo Bay is worth at least tens of millions. Li Mu offered a "10%" price to buy Green Giles, which means that if Li Mu sold Guantanamo Bay to Washington for $10 million, then Green Giles would get one million.

How could he not be moved? The last time Li Mu and Green Giles jointly sold lottery tickets, Green Giles' profit was only a four-wheeled carriage. Even if two horses were added, the total value would not exceed 3,000 US dollars.

As the director of the Audit Department of the Ministry of Finance, Green Giles' annual salary is only $1,800, and one million dollars is enough for Green Giles to earn 46 years.

"Yes, 10%, don't refuse me, otherwise I will ask Washington for a replacement. I think Eble must be very interested in this job." Li Mu took a heavy move and must force Green Giles to agree.

Compared to Green Giles, Eble is just a piece of money, and he is also deeply trusted by Grant. If Li Mu suggests Grant replace him, he might really get what he wants. 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 seems that this money is not enough.
