1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

As the liquidation was completed, Lu Chen and Adams felt relieved.

"Adams, bring out some of your good wine, let's celebrate today."

Lu Chen said to Adams while sitting on the sofa.

"Row"

Adams stood up from the sofa, walked to his storage room and took out a bottle of red wine.

Adams first opened the cork of the red wine and then poured the wine into the decanter.

Lu Chen watched Adams busying around and said impatiently:

"Brother, is it necessary to go through so much trouble just to have a drink?"

Adams glanced at Lu Chen with disdain.

"I can tell from the first glance that you are a country bumpkin who has never seen the world. Let me tell you, drinking red wine is a very tasteful thing, just like you Chinese people tasting tea, you have to look at its color and smell its aroma. It's not like drinking beer."

Lu Chen did not agree with Adams's argument at all.

"When drinking, you should do it like us Chinese people, drinking from big bowls and eating meat with big mouthfuls. That's the best way to enjoy it. Putting drinking and tea together, it would be weird."

"Drinking is to release emotions, and drinking in big gulps is the way to feel it. Drinking tea is to maintain health and cultivate sentiment. The two scenarios are different."

Adams did not argue with Lu Chen. He poured Lu Chen a glass of wine and sat opposite Lu Chen.

"Lu, you've made so much money this time, what kind of business are you going to do?"

Lu Chen took a sip of wine, then sat back on the sofa. He said weakly:

"I've made so much money, why bother doing business? Wouldn't it be better to just lie down and do nothing? I can't spend all this money in several lifetimes, so why should I struggle?"

Adams said, "Since you don't want to do anything, why not just invest the money in me. Let me spend it for you."

Lu Chen expressed contempt for what Adams said.

"Why would you want to give me my money? As for what I want to do, I really don't want to do anything recently. But if I want to make money, I think the most profitable thing is arms. I want to do arms business."

"You're already doing what you're talking about. Do you have any other ideas?"

Lu Chen continued, "That must be birth, aging, illness and death, food, clothing, housing and transportation. These businesses are good, or using money to make money is also good."

Adams was speechless. Lu Chen said nothing. After this shorting of the stock market with Lu Chen, Adams felt that Lu Chen was a good guy and wanted to do something with him again. But this guy had such an attitude.

"Lu, I'm seriously discussing this with you, you are talking nonsense. Tell me honestly, what do you want to do?"

Lu Chen thought about it and said something that all Chinese people wanted to do:

"I want to kill my little life."

Adams felt that he couldn't communicate with Lu Chen now, so he simply said:

"Let's go to the bank and withdraw the money."

Lu Chen was still very interested in dividing the money. He immediately stood up and followed Adams out of the house and rushed to the bank.

This was the first time Lu Chen went out on the street after the stock market crash. Now the streets were full of people carrying bottles of wine and in disheveled clothes.

Lu Chen also saw in the car a man holding a bottle of wine, sitting on the edge of the rooftop, crying and laughing.

Seeing this, Lu Chen quickly said to Adams: "Adams, call the police quickly, I saw someone trying to jump off the building."

Adams was startled, then he pulled over, found a phone booth and called the police.

"Police station? I saw someone on the rooftop, and it looked like he was about to jump off the building. Come and save him."

A helpless voice came from the phone.

"I'm sorry, there are too many people reporting jumping off buildings today. All our police forces have been dispatched, and we can no longer send anyone to your place. You'd better pay attention to your own safety and don't get close to anyone jumping off a building."

The person who answered the phone finally made a complaint.

"The stock market has collapsed, and too many people have jumped off buildings."

Adams hung up the phone immediately after hearing this and rushed to the rooftop. When Lu Chen saw Adams rushing into the building, he also rushed in.

When they arrived at the rooftop, Adams and Lu Chen could clearly see the person sitting on the rooftop.

This was a young man in a suit and tie. He was holding a bottle of red wine and drinking it while sobbing softly.

Lu Chen approached cautiously, with Adams following closely behind.

When they were about to reach the edge of the rooftop, the young man turned his head and looked at the two of them.

"Would you like a couple of drinks?"

Lu Chen was startled by the young man's sudden words, but fortunately he reacted quickly and said, "Yes, we also want to drink some wine, but your wind is too strong, I am a little afraid to go over."

"The wind is strong, isn't this just right? Drinking and enjoying the wind. Then when you're drunk, all your worries disappear."

Lu Chen said, "Brother, you have your own troubles, and we are in the same boat. Why don't you come over here and we can talk to each other."

"I can tell from the looks of it that you haven't experienced any major setbacks. What can I say to you?"

Lu Chen retorted: "How can you be sure that I haven't experienced any major setbacks?"

"Humph! You look like a rich young man at first glance, how can you understand the hardships of us poor people?"

Seeing that the man was willing to talk to him, Lu Chen felt much more relaxed. In order not to alert the man and for his own safety, he simply sat down and said:

"You're right. I was born into a wealthy family, but so what? I still have no home to return to."

The man looked at Lu Chen in confusion and said, "You are lying to me because I can't go back home."

Lu Chen shook his head and began to recount his own experiences: "You should be able to tell that I am a Chinese."

The man nodded

"Then you should also know that our country is still in a relatively chaotic period."

The man nodded and signaled Lu Chen to continue.

"My family originally owned a textile factory, and I was a young and promising person."

Lu Chen began to make up stories.

"Well, there are opium dens everywhere in our country, where people smoke opium. Then my father was framed by his small-time rival and became addicted to it. He smokes opium every day."

"I couldn't stand it any longer, so I decided to go find Xiaozi to ask for an explanation...."

Lu Chen portrayed himself as a person who was persecuted by his family and fled overseas. The man felt sympathy for him.

He slowly climbed up from the side, then walked to Lu Chen and handed the wine to Lu Chen.

"Come on, brother, take a sip. Your experience is indeed worse than mine."

Adams seized the opportunity, grabbed the man and dragged him downstairs, with Lu Chen also helping.

The man struggled and yelled: "What are you doing? Where are you taking me?"

"Let's take you downstairs, brother. I'm not saying anything to you, but if you have something on your mind, why do you want to jump off the building?"

The man was anxious and struggled, "Let me go. Who are you? It's none of your business whether I jump off the building or not."

Lu Chen advised, "Brother, look at me, I'm in this state, and I haven't thought about jumping off the building. You just lost a little money, is there any need to jump off the building?"

The man yelled, "You guys are the ones jumping off the building. Your whole family should jump off the building. When did I ever say I was going to jump off the building? Let me go."

Lu Chen and Adams stopped and looked at each other.

"Lu, do you believe what he said?"

"I don't believe it. I think he is lying to us. After we let him go, he will definitely jump off the building again."

"Well, I don't believe it either."

Then Lu Chen and Adams continued to carry the man downstairs.

Lu Chen and Adams put the man down only when they reached the road.

Then Adams said to the man: "Brother, let me tell you, money is something that you can earn again if you lose it. There is no need to seek death."

Lu Chen also said: "Brother, if you have too many complaints about this world and dare not move forward after falling, why are you so fragile and degenerate? Please look around you and see how many people are trying to move forward bravely for life. Shouldn't we be content and cherish everything, even if we don't have it?"

The man was a little confused by what he said.

"What are you talking about? I just had a breakup and was feeling down, so I was drinking on the rooftop. How did you know I was going to jump off the building?"

Adams was furious when he heard this: "You bastard, if you want to drink, find a safe place to drink. You're sitting on the rooftop, trying to look cool. Do you know how busy I am today? You delayed me for an hour just for you."

Lu Chen also said: "Brother, do you know how many people jumped off the building today? It's easy for people to think you're going to jump off the building too. Please be careful in the future and don't cause trouble for others."

The man felt a little embarrassed by what Lu Chen and Adams said, and he quickly apologized:

"I'm sorry, I really didn't notice this. How about I treat you guys to a meal and give you some gifts as a token of my appreciation?"

"We have other things to do, so let's forget about it today. Don't do this again next time."

Adams warned.

"No, no, my name is Arthur and I live here. Officers, I'm sorry to bother you."

Lu Chen and Adams got into the car without looking back, and then drove to the bank.

Arthur was a little confused and muttered to himself, "Since when did the police start recruiting Asian personnel?"

Lu Chen and Adams drove to the bank.

As soon as they entered the bank, someone came up to them warmly.

"Mr. Adams, Mr. Lu, Manager York is already waiting for you two in the office. Please follow me. I will take you to Manager York's office."

Adams nodded and followed the receptionist to Manager York's office with Lu Chen.

Manager York quickly stood up and asked the two to sit down.

"I didn't expect that you two are so amazing. You made so much money in just one day. Are you here to withdraw the money?"

Lu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, Manager York, I plan to transfer the money from the trading account to the savings account."

"That's great, Mr. Lu, I'll do it right away."

"Mr. Lu, did you deposit all the money in your name?"

Lu Chen asked: "I have 5000 million in my account now, right?"

Manager York nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Lu, it's a pity. If you had closed the position later, you would have made more money on this transaction."

Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "It's enough to earn this much. So you can deposit 20 million of it into Adams' account. Deposit 20 million into my account, and keep 10 million in the trading account."

Manager York said: "Mr. Lu, please wait a moment. Let's settle our transaction first. First, the transaction fee is 50, the stamp duty is 500 million, and the personal tax is 1000 million. The total is 1550 million."

"Mr. Lu, the money you deserve is 3450 million, plus your leverage margin, the total is 3710 million."

Lu Chen was a little dumbfounded. Damn, is it so shady? Fifteen million is gone just like that. Why didn't Adams tell me about this?

Adams then said, "Manager York, there's no need to calculate so clearly. Stamp duty and personal income tax are not collected by your bank, so why bother to be so serious? It's not like you don't have ways to avoid taxes."

Manager York said, "Let's do it the same way as before."

Adams nodded and said, "Same as before, I'll give you a commission of 100 million."

Manager York smiled and said, "I see, Master Adams."

Manager York turned to Lu Chen and said, "Mr. Lu, since Mr. Adams has said so, I will use my method to get the money out for you. It will be about 4600 million. You decide how to allocate the money."

Lu Chen's eyes lit up. He could actually save so much. Lu Chen said, "Give Adams 20 million, and deposit the rest into my account."

"Okay, it can be done in two days."

Lu Chen and Adams left the bank. Lu Chen asked curiously, "Adams, you guys won't be caught doing this, right?"

Adams smiled and explained: "This is an open method. The money goes through charities and then comes back to us. This is a reasonable tax avoidance. You country bumpkin, you know nothing."

Lu Chen was a little surprised. What was said in those videos in the future was actually true. The United States could actually avoid taxes in this way. However, there were risks. What if the charity did not return the money?

Lu Chen expressed his concerns.

Adams said, "Don't worry, this charity is jointly run by several large financial groups. They won't take your money. Besides, they have received money for your trip."

"Well, now that you've said that, I have nothing to worry about."

Adams first sent Lu Chen home, and then drove away to say goodbye to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen hadn't been home for a while. As soon as he entered the house, Chen Jianghe started asking Lu Chen all kinds of questions.

Lu Chen told Chen Jianghe about his schedule in the past few days, and Chen Jianghe was relieved.

"Brother Chen, I'm not a child. You don't have to worry about me so much."

Chen Jianghe said, "Since Uncle Lu asked me to take care of you in New York, I will do my best to take care of you. America is already very unsafe, and the stock market collapsed today, so it's even more dangerous outside. You haven't given us any news these days. It's normal for me to worry about you. Next time you go out, you should bring Mr. Ike with you, so it's safer."

Lu Chen said irritably, "I know, I know."

After saying that, Lu Chen went back to his room to rest.
