There are nepotism, and the United States is no exception. Look at Robert Lincoln and Benjamin Harrison. I have to sigh that incarnation is really a technical job.

With Abraham Lincoln paving the way, Robert Lincoln can be said to be smooth sailing. Even if he failed 16 courses in 17 courses at Harvard University, Robert Lincoln was able to enter Harvard University and graduated smoothly. Later, Robert Lincoln After marrying the only daughter of the Iowa Senator, Robert Lincoln followed suit and was appointed by Hayes as Secretary of War this year.

Well, Robert Lincoln had never been on the battlefield before being appointed Minister of War, and the only intersection with the war was to witness the surrender of Robert Lee.

By the way, Robert Lincoln just turned 36 this year.

However, if this matter ignores Robert Lincoln's background, from another aspect, this is quite in line with Hayes' original intention of promoting the civil service system.

Speaking of this, George Menippeni has no reason to refuse. As long as Li Mu can open up the relationship between the Ministry of War, George Menippeni does not mind giving gifts. Whoever occupies the land is occupied, or Indians. Either it is a white farmer or a steed group. For George Menippeni, it makes no difference.

The dinner was indeed a huge one. No one could refuse the invitation of the "Laura and Gloria Foundation". A total of more than 700 guests attended the dinner, more than expected. Almost every guest who received the invitation They all came to the scene in person, even if they could n’t be there in person, they would apologize to their families and take the initiative to donate to the “Laura and Gloria Foundation”.

The "Laura and Gloria Foundation" held a dinner. The main purpose was to make donations. Charity is absolutely impossible without money. In order to raise more donations, the directors of the foundation also prepared some jewellery. It is used for auction during the dinner, and some of them are collected by Li Mu.

It was just when Li Mu came down. The banquet has just begun. At the corner of the venue, there is a small stage with simple decoration. This stage will be the center of the dinner next. Laura and Gloria will introduce there for the first time. The "Laura and Gloria Foundation", which was unveiled in public, will also be held at the auction to be held later.

"You finally come down. Lily has been asking me just now. If she doesn't come down, Lily will go up to you." Li Mu just arrived at the venue, and Chu Xue greeted slightly anxiously.

"Ha, I thought there was nothing to do with me. Today, your woman is the protagonist, and our man is the supporting character." Li Mugan is willing to make green leaves, and it is not enough to do so. The center of the venue has been occupied by women. It may appear, but today, the men are chatting in groups around the crowd, and it is clear that not only Li Mu thinks it alone.

"It is true that it is a supporting role, but it is indispensable because there will be an auction." Chu Xue is sometimes naughty now. Before, Chu Xue never dared to tease Li Mu like this.

Well, actually this kind of Chu Xue is more cute, but Li Mu is happy to be more cheerful.

In the middle of the venue, Laura and Gloria were surrounded by women in costumes. They seemed to have a division of labor. The women around Laura were slightly older, and the women around Gloria were younger. In a patriarchal society, women rarely have the opportunity to make a public appearance, let alone to prepare for something that is dominated by women. The "Laura and Gloria Foundation" is the first female-dominated organization. Know how passionate these women are.

Seeing that Li Mu finally appeared, Gloria was so busy she couldn't even say hello, but waved her hand in a hurry, and continued to patiently explain to the surrounding ladies.

"It feels like we've overlooked something." Rockefeller was not very happy, and handed Li Mu a glass of wine. Chu Xue didn't want to hear the two men complaining, greeted Rockefeller, and hurriedly went to look for the cotton jacket.

"Let's face it, we can't keep women in the house forever." Li Mu knew very well what it means to improve women's social status. Perhaps Laura and Gloria are the first generation of feminists in the future.

Even if you know, Li Mu ca n’t stop it. The United States is still a patriarchal society. Generally speaking, women do n’t even have the opportunity to work, but this inherent concept is gradually being broken. In New York, only middle class and above are eligible. For women at home to work, more women have to go out of their homes to find work to earn money to subsidize their families. Therefore, the improvement of women's social status cannot be stopped at all.

New York is better. Even in factories, women's work is mostly not related to physical labor. Outside of New York, women's work is almost no different from that of men. Women in the Great Lakes do even miners, and when they go down the well Naked, when survival is beginning to come under threat, traditions will soon collapse.

"I don't think so, Standard Oil also has female employees." Rockefeller immediately clarified that if anyone dares to say that a woman should be a husband and daughter at home, she will be besieged by hundreds of women present.

"Before we were at Springfield Institute of Technology, I don't know if you noticed that, in fact, the proportion of female students is not low. In several colleges such as education, medical, secretarial, etc., the percentage of female students is even more than that of male students. , So accept the reality. "Li Mu had this psychological preparation, so there was no psychological burden to accept it.

The ratio of men and women mentioned by Li Mu is just the beginning. When the new students enter the autumn, the proportion of girls will be higher. At the current Steed Affiliated School, the proportion of girls is already higher than that of boys. It is very big. After all, the majority of the students in the school affiliated to Steed are boys. Even if the Pacific Company goes to great lengths, the boys brought from the Qing Empire to the United States are very limited, unless they are relocated.

"I can understand that women are often more attentive than men, so women must have an advantage in occupations that require patience." Rockefeller also understood that most of the salespeople in shopping malls are now women.

While Li Mu and Rockefeller were still discussing gender, the chief auctioneer of the Metropolitan Auction House, Nelson Trevicon, quickly stepped onto the small stage. He is the host of today's dinner and the auctioneer of the upcoming auction.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the charity dinner hosted by the 'Laura and Gloria Foundation'. God told us that only love can make people. Today we are here to make more people feel. To our love-"Nelson Trivicon came from the United Kingdom. At the time, the Rose Company's auction was hosted by Nelson Trivicon. It can be said that it is well-informed, and it is naturally no problem to host the dinner.

It is worth mentioning that at today's charity dinner, the first time a loudspeaker was used, this time it is not a simple iron speaker, but a sound reinforcement system composed of a microphone and a speaker. This is the Steed Lab In addition to the microphone, which was invented by Emil Berliner, the other components are supplemented by Steed Labs.

In the process of inventing the sound reinforcement system, Nikola Tesla played an important role. This guy has an unparalleled genius in the electromagnetic field. It is said that it took only one afternoon to complete the drawing design, and then Steed Lab performed the drawing according to the drawing. Production, the results are surprising, Nikola Tesla's design is impeccable.

After introducing the "Laura and Gloria Foundation" grandly, Nelson Trevicom warmly invited Laura and Gloria to come to power, and Laura and Gloria came to power without restraint, Then Laura started to explain why the foundation was established.

"——We were in Luzon at the time, and John and Riem had work to do, and Lily and I could only go shopping, oh, yes, and Jennifer, please forgive me Jennifer, you are not glorious, but always let It ’s unforgettable— "Laura took the initiative to mention Chu Xue. It was not malicious, Gloria did n’t feel embarrassed, and the relationship between them was really harmonious." ——We saw that many people struggled on the food and clothing line. They have severe malnutrition, no opportunity for education, no future, and they do n’t cover their bodies. It ’s really hard to imagine that 10-year-olds do n’t have a piece of clothing that can cover their bodies. One night I was chatting with Lily, Lily asked me, why can't we do something for them? This question reminds me— "

Laura is actually a very quiet person, but today, Laura seems to have a great desire to speak, mentioning Luzon's rumors.

The audience spoke seriously and the audience listened very carefully. Women are emotional animals. Many people are touched by tears, even Rockefeller is a little moved.

"I already foresee that I will spend a lot of money later to buy a bunch of things that I never use." Rockefeller's voice was very low, and Li Mu could barely hear it, which made Li Mu almost unable to maintain seriousness. Expression.

Well, this is a misunderstanding. Rockefeller cannot be moved by this level of speech.

It ’s normal to think about it. People like Rockefeller and Li Mu are determined and wo n’t waver easily. Mercy is a scarce product for Li Mu and Rockefeller. No wonder they have no father or son in the business. Feelings will only grow out of face. In the face of the enemy, Li Mu and Rockefeller will never relent, not to mention, the situations mentioned by Laura are in many cases caused by people like Li Mu and Rockefeller.

But this does not mean that Li Mu and Rockefeller will interfere in Laura and Gloria's charity. People have two sides. Li Mu can not only kill the Native Americans in the Far East, but also do his best to help Chinese Americans. Rockefeller can suppress it. The workers went on strike while donating money to the Laura and Gloria Foundation, and the two did not conflict.

"There are a few things that are still very good." Li Mu was helpless, but Gloria took away several fine pieces from Li Mu, which made Li Mu quite distressed.

But Li Mu couldn't help it. Gloria took away all the loot that Will brought back from Montana. Strictly speaking, it was Gloria's own stuff. Li Mu really couldn't help it.

Laura finally introduced the origins of the "Laura and Gloria Foundation". With enthusiastic applause, Nelson Trivicom returned to the stage and began to host the next auction.

The first lot was donated by Gloria. A ruby ​​weighing ten carats. The origin of this gem is not Ceylon. The quality is not flawless, but it is also a rare piece.

Indians can cut gems, and the Indian craftsmanship was still pretty good in that era, but this "good" also depends on who they are compared with. The level of craftsmanship two hundred years ago was put to death today. After Li Mu got the batch of gems, Part of it was re-processed. Of course, the craftsmanship is much better than before. The one that Gloria brought out is the processed product, which will not flow into the market at all. It is only available at the Metropolitan Auction House. Can be seen.

By the way, the Metropolitan Auction House is also Li Mu's industry. This is the main source of Li Mu's current collection. In many cases, the seller's lot is not sold at all, and Li Mu will directly buy it.

"This is a fine gem from the Indians, recut by Belgian artisan Bobby Blumer. It has 16 facets, is flawless and weighs 10.1 carats. Ms. Ya generously donated. I dare say that this is the best gem that has appeared in the New York auction market in three years. If you miss this opportunity, you may have to wait another 30 years— "Nelson Trevicon has taken off Coat, waving auction hammer in his hand. On this occasion, everyone showed their generosity. Nelson Trevicon volunteered to preside over this auction without compensation.

"Shut up, Nelson, how much is cheap?" Some people can't wait to yell, and more people are laughing. Don't expect all of the high society to be gentlemen. There are always people who disdain disguise.

"The base price is 100,000 dollars-" Although Nelson Trevicom was not angry, but did not dare to offend the guests who came to the scene, even if they were rich in soil buns, they were also rich, or they would be fatal.

"One hundred and ten thousand!"

"115,000!"

"116,000!"

"One hundred twenty thousand!"

The shouting of prices immediately began to change. Of course, it is good to be a charity, but it is even better if you can do charity, so even if the price of this gem is higher, it is worth it.

"You don't want to buy it back?" Rockefeller did not participate in the bidding at all, and looked at Li Mu with a smile and waited for Li Mu to be the head of injustice.

"Come on, there are so many gems of this level, you are willing to buy them." Li Mu is not fooled. No matter Li Mu or Rockefeller, as long as anyone holds a card, the auction will end immediately, and it will be lost. The meaning of charity.
