1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

After Lu Chen returned home, he waited for Hans to bring people to the United States.

While waiting, Lu Chen was not idle. He first sent a telegram to Fu Mingzhuo in China, asking him to inquire about the Yun family.

During this period, there was also good news. Guozong Bank broke a shocking news. The bank manager actually embezzled bank funds to buy a house for himself in New York and speculate in stocks. Now all these assets have lost money. The hole cannot be filled.

As soon as the news came out, a large number of depositors began to question the credibility of the National Bank. Retail investors began to withdraw cash on a large scale. In order to stabilize the situation, the government immediately found Adams to renegotiate. Finally, an agreement was reached.

After the negotiation was completed, Adams immediately came to Lu Chen in a hurry.

"Lu, the government has agreed to your proposal. You can pay now."

After the scandal broke out at Guozong Bank, Lu Chen expected that the government would be restless. But he didn't expect that the government would deal with the group of capitalists on Wall Street so quickly and agree to the plan he proposed.

His conditions were met, so Lu Chen did not drag his feet any longer and followed Adams to the Civic Center in New York. In the presence of New York State Treasurer Jess, he signed a transfer contract with the original owner of Guozong Bank.

After the signing, Minister Jess met with Lu Chen and Adams. He smiled and said to Adams and Lu Chen:

"Thank you both for your helping hand. You helped solve this banking crisis."

Adams also smiled and replied: "Minister Jess is too polite. It is our honor to make some contributions to New York."

Jace looked at Lu Chen again and said, "I guess this must be Mr. Lu."

Lu Chen quickly said, "Hello, Minister Jess. I am Lu Chen."

"Mr. Lu, in view of your contributions to our New York State, our city government has decided to grant you honorary citizenship and issue you a permanent residence certificate in the United States."

Lu Chen was a little stunned, and sighed in his heart, damn, this should be the green card of the future. I spent four million to get a green card, it's really fucking expensive.

Although he was complaining in his heart, Lu Chen still thanked him with a smile on his face:

"I am grateful to the city government. It is an honor for me to be a citizen of New York City."

After the agreement was signed, the government immediately announced that the bank had changed its management and supported Guozong Bank, saying that the new boss had injected sufficient funds to ensure the safety of depositors' property.

The Federal Reserve also issued a message confirming the reliability of this news.

Thanks to the efforts of all parties, the crisis of Guozong Bank was finally resolved without any major problems.

After the bank's affairs were settled, Lu Chen transferred his own funds to his own bank. Manager York also expressed his understanding of this matter.

Later, under the introduction of Adams, Lu Chen met the owner of a motorcycle production company. Under the guidance of the owner, Lu Chen inspected the production equipment of the company.

Lu Chen found that the company had a complete range of production equipment, including lathes, milling machines, punching machines, and drilling machines. The boss also agreed to give Lu Chen all the production materials and technology for motorcycles.

Lu Chen was naturally happy, and finally Lu Chen bought the company for three hundred thousand.

After finishing these things, Lu Chen finally waited for Hans and the others to arrive.

Lu Chen brought Ike to the dock early in the morning. It was not until noon that they saw Hans and more than a dozen people getting off the boat.

When Hans saw Lu Chen, he quickly came over with his men and said, "Boss, I'm sorry that I brought more brothers this time, but it's not my fault. It was Ike who said in the telegram that you were going to make a big move. He asked me to bring more good guys."

Lu Chen looked at the people behind Hans and found that there was a man dressed as a scholar in the team.

Lu Chen pointed at the man and asked, "Hans, I have no objection to you bringing people here, but why are you bringing a student here?"

Hans looked in the direction where Lu Chen pointed. He immediately called the man over and explained to Lu Chen, "Boss, this is a kid from my friend's family. His name is Ibaka. He used to be a college student and studied something with an expert. Now his life is hard. When my friend heard that I was coming to the United States, he asked me to bring him over and find him a job here."

Lu Chen asked, "Ibaka, what can you do? Did you study with the professor before?"

Ibaka adjusted his glasses and said, "Hello, Mr. Lu, I heard Uncle Hans talk about you. I majored in chemistry in college. I studied a lot of things with professors in college."

Lu Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Amide, have you heard of it?"

Ibaka nodded.

Lu Chen asked again: "You know about copolymerization reaction, right?"

Ibaka nodded again.

Lu Chen said: "In that case, you don't need to look for another job. I will build a laboratory for you to study copolyamide."

Ibaka was a little confused but nodded.

Lu Chen was indeed happy. Copolyamide, the nylon of later generations, could produce raw silk fibers by himself. Then he could produce the famous nylon cloth of later generations. It could also be used to produce stockings.

Lu Chen was ready to spend a lot of money to let women wear their favorite stockings. Thinking about the future when he would be able to see his sister wearing black stockings, Lu Chen's heart was filled with excitement.

Ike interrupted Lu Chen's fantasy and said, "Boss, Hans and his group have come so many people at once. We are going to build a house and it will be too small to accommodate us."

Lu Chen's thoughts were interrupted and he was very unhappy.

"It's not that difficult. Adams has been selling me a manor every day. If we buy a manor, their accommodation problem will be solved. And they will have a place to put the weapons they brought."

Ike nodded.

Lu Chen took Hans and his group to have a meal first. After the meal, Lu Chen immediately contacted Adams.

"Lu, why did you think of calling me? Haven't you been working on the factory's affairs during this period?"

Lu Chen said, "The factory has been sorted out. Now we just need workers. As long as we recruit workers, my factory can start operation. I am not looking for you today for the factory. Didn't you say you had a manor for sale some time ago?"

"Why, Lu, have you thought it through and are you ready to buy a manor? I told you a long time ago that you are now a person of status, and you are still renting a house. It's too shameful for you. The manor I introduced to you last time has not been sold yet. If you want, I can take you there to see it now."

Lu Chen said: "I do want to buy a manor. Where is the manor you mentioned?"

Adams quickly said, "Where are you? I'll pick you up right away."

Lu Chen told Adams the address of the restaurant where he was having dinner.

Adams said excitedly: "Wait, I'll be here right away."

Lu Chen quickly said, "Please prepare a few more cars for me. My people will arrive today."

"Okay, I'll bring three cars. Hang up."

Adams drove a new car and appeared in front of Lu Chen today.

"Lu, look at my car. I asked General Motors to customize it. Do you want one? I tell you, this car is really fast. It only took me 20 minutes to get from my house to this road."

Lu Chen looked at Adams who kept chattering and said irritably, "Adams, why are you working as a salesman now? You sold me a manor some time ago, and now you're selling me a car."

Adams put his arm on Lu Chen's shoulder and said, "I'm helping you integrate into the circle of wealthy people in the United States. You are so rich now, why are you so low-key? How can those rich people know you if you keep a low profile?"

Lu Chen looked at Adams with disdain. He removed Adams's hand from his shoulder and said, "Is your carefree attitude the style of rich Americans? I tell you, if your father knew about this, he would probably punish you again."

"I'm not afraid of him anymore. He only cuts off my money. Now I'm richer than him. I'm not afraid of him."

Lu Chen decided not to chat with Adams. He looked at the cars parked on the side of the road and found that only one car passed by. Lu Chen said angrily:

"Adams, can you be more reliable? Didn't I ask you to get a few more cars? You also said you would find a few more cars. Where are the cars?"

"Don't worry, those old cars are a bit slow and I left them behind."

Adams looked at his watch and said, "In another ten minutes, they will definitely be here."

Adams waved his watch in front of Lu Chen.

"Lu, how about my new watch? It's nice, isn't it? Why don't you buy one too?"

Lu Chen now hated Adams very much and really wanted to kick this chatterbox to death. He was selling cars and watches. If he wasn't familiar with him, he would have thought he was a salesman.

But Lu Chen understood Adams's change. Lu Chen knew that Adams was his father's illegitimate son who was brought home when he was almost a teenager. Otherwise, if a big family raised such a son, it would probably be laughed at by other families.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the car behind us slowly arrived at the restaurant.

Lu Chen asked Hans and his group to get in the car with their belongings. Then he started the car and followed Adams who was leading the way.

Adams brought Lu Chen to the gate of a large manor and stopped.

After getting out of the car, Adams rang the doorbell, and someone opened the door for him.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Paul here? I found a buyer for him."

The man who opened the door replied, "Yes, I will take you to see him right away."

Lu Chen looked around the manor. There was a garden in front, a three-story villa, and a lawn in the back.

Adams asked in a low voice: "How is it? This manor is pretty good, right?"

"It's really good."

After following the guide into the villa, a nanny came over and took Lu Chen and Adams to the living room, while Hans and his group were taken to the side hall.

"Gentlemen, please sit down for a moment. I will go and invite Mr. Paul."

The nanny left the living room and went upstairs to call Paul.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in a suit and bow tie came down from upstairs.

Seeing the middle-aged man coming down, Adams immediately greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Paul."

"Adams, please take a seat. Please take a seat. I heard from the butler that someone wants to buy this manor, right?"

Adams quickly introduced Lu Chen to Paul.

"This is my friend from China. He is interested in buying your manor."

Paul looked at Lu Chen, then said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, I heard Minister Jess talk about you. You are a good young man. Are you planning to buy my manor?"

Lu Chen said quickly: "Yes, I was just granted permanent residency, so I was thinking of buying a property here in New York as my home."

Paul smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, there is no need to explain. Since Mr. Lu is interested in buying this manor, let me tell you the price. I am going to sell this manor for 50. I wonder if Mr. Lu can accept it."

Lu Chen said, "Although I like your manor, Mr. Paul, 20 is too high. I have also visited other manors before. Although their manors are smaller than yours, Mr. Paul, they are only priced at ."

"Mr. Lu, my manor is different from other manors. You should have seen it when you came in. There is a garden in front of me and a lawn in the back. The area is two hectares. Five hundred thousand is not expensive."

"Mr. Paul, this price is too high. I'll offer 30. Is that okay?"

Paul shook his head and said, "Five hundred thousand, not a cent less."

Lu Chen said regretfully: "Then I can only apologize to you, Mr. Paul. This price is indeed too high."

After saying that, Lu Chen asked Adams to leave.

Paul frowned and asked, "Mr. Lu, don't you really want to consider it?"

Lu Chen smiled and shook his head and said, "Mr. Paul, the price you offered is too high."

After saying that, Lu Chen stood up and walked out of the villa.

Seeing that Lu Chen was really about to leave, Paul said, "40, I'll reduce it by , Mr. Lu, this is already my biggest concession."

When Adams heard that Paul had taken the initiative to reduce the price by 100,000, he immediately grabbed Lu Chen.

"Lu, this manor is sold for 400,000, which is already very cheap. Why don't you buy it?"

Lu Chen was really impressed by Adams. This kid was sometimes quite smart, why was he so stupid at this time? How could he bargain with Paul after he started talking?

Lu Chen could only say helplessly: "Okay, Mr. Paul, 40, I'll buy it."

Paul took out a contract that he had prepared in advance and said with a smile, "Okay, let's sign the contract."

Lu Chen looked at Adams with a depressed look on his face, then took the contract, confirmed that there was no problem, and signed his name.

After putting away the signed contract, Lu Chen took out a check, filled in the amount, and handed it to Paul.

"Mr. Paul, I don't know when I can move in."

Paul said, "I can do it now. I have already packed my things. I will leave with my things once this manor is sold."

"What about the housekeepers and nannies in this manor? Mr. Paul has arranged them as well, right?"

"I will take everyone with me."

"That's fine. It just so happens that the people I brought here can move in today."

After receiving the money, Paul stood up and shook hands with Lu Chen.

"Mr. Lu, then I will take my people and leave."

"Goodbye Mr. Paul."

After Paul and his men left, Adams smiled and said to Lu Chen, "Lu, do you blame me for making you spend a high price?"

"Oh, Master Adams, you still know that it is a high price."

Adams whispered to Lu Chen, "Let me tell you, this manor is not as simple as it seems. Just buy it for 400,000 and be happy."

Lu Chen said unhappily: "If that's the case, why don't you buy it yourself?"

Adams touched his hand and said, "I'm not sure. I heard that this manor used to be the residence of a wealthy British businessman. During the War of Independence, this businessman died unexpectedly on the battlefield. I heard that when he was alive, he hid all his money in this manor. If you..."

Lu Chen quickly interrupted Adams.

"Adams, you believe this kind of thing. Why don't you say there is pirate treasure here?"

Lu Chen ignored Adams. He walked to the side hall and said:

"Hans, I've already bought this place. Bring your people over to move all your things in."

"Ike, take your people back to our residence and move all our belongings in the house here."

After making the arrangements, Lu Chen returned to the living room and said to Adams, “Adams, come with me to the hospital to pick up my brother Chen, and give me the cars you brought.”

Adams said angrily: "Lu, you want those broken cars too?"

"How about giving me your new car?"

Adams said, "Let's go pick up Chen."

Lu Chen and Adams arrived at the hospital, spent half an hour completing the discharge procedures for Chen Jianghe, and then took Chen Jianghe back to the manor.
