1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

The next day at noon, Lu Chen arrived at the airport on time. When Lu Chen arrived at the airport, there were already five or six people there.

Lu Chen's arrival aroused the curiosity of these people. They didn't understand why an obviously Chinese face would appear here.

At this time, the receptionist on the side immediately ran over.

"Everyone, this is one of the wealthy people who bought Guozong Bank some time ago, Mr. Lu Chen."

Several people suddenly realized that you were the lucky guy who made nearly 50 million in the stock market. How could they know that Lu Chen made so much money in the stock market?

These people are from big financial groups, and they control banks and other financial institutions. Your operations in the stock market have all gone through the banks, so how could they not know how much money you have made?

Therefore, the most important thing for a consortium is to have its own bank, because in this way your operations in the financial market will not be discovered by others and then targeted by competitors.

"Hello, I'm Morgan J. So you are Lu Chen. I didn't expect you to be Chinese. I didn't expect there are financial geniuses like you among Chinese people."

Lu Chen said modestly: "I'm not a genius, I'm just lucky and made the right bet."

Morgan smiled and waved his hand and said, "Mr. Lu, I know you Chinese people like to be humble, but I tell you, luck is also a manifestation of genius."

At this time, a middle-aged man with a beard came over.

"Hello, my name is Rockefeller Dioco. You can call me Dio, or Dioco. Welcome to join us."

"Hello Mr. Dior."

Morgan pointed at the other people and introduced them:

"They are Washington Mitchell, Ford Edwin, and Thomas Lyon."

Lu Chen greeted them one by one.

At this time, Mitchell came over to Lu Chen and asked, "Mr. Lu, how did you think of shorting the US stock market at that time? Please don't get me wrong, I don't mean to blame you. After all, you are an American now. The wealth you earned has not flowed out of the United States."

Lu Chen was alert to Mitchell in his heart. Asking such a question at this time, aren't you here to pick a fight? Lu Chen thought about how to answer in his mind. Then he felt that no matter how he answered at this time, some officials present would be dissatisfied.

So he decided to avoid this issue and talk about something else.

"Mr. Mitchell, that is all in the past. We have to look forward to the future. We in the United States have been bullied like this, shouldn't we think about how to retaliate?"

When Morgan heard Lu Chen say this, he immediately became interested.

"Mr. Lu, so you have thought of how to retaliate against those who took advantage of the situation."

Lu Chen waved his hands quickly. He didn't have the ability to retaliate against those big families. He quickly explained:

"Mr. Morgan, I have no idea how to retaliate against those who took advantage of the situation."

"Tsk, if you don't have the ability, don't say such things. This will cause people to misunderstand me."

At this time, Mitchell, who was standing aside, spoke up.

Damn it, I didn't offend this guy named Mitchell, did I? Why does he always target me? Lu Chen thought to himself.

Dio heard something else in Lu Chen's words. He wanted to hear what Lu Chen said next, so he spoke out:

"Mitchell, please be quiet and don't interrupt others casually. It's very rude. Mr. Lu, I heard you haven't finished speaking. Don't mind Mitchell, please continue talking. I am very interested in what you say next."

Lu Chen bowed slightly to Dio, thanking him for speaking for him. Then Lu Chen continued

"I don't have any solutions for individuals or families, but I do have some solutions for the country."

Hearing this, Morgan also became interested in Lu Chen's words.

"Oh, Mr. Lu, I don't know which country you are talking about? What can I do?"

"I think the people who came to the United States to short the stock market last time must have been from the Commonwealth. I have some ideas about the current Commonwealth. We can take revenge on the Commonwealth."

Edwin frowned at Lu Chen. He felt that Lu Chen was just trying to attract attention. Revenge on the Commonwealth? It was a pity that Lu Chen could say that. The Commonwealth is the empire on which the sun never sets. Their strength is the best in the world. If the United States wants to retaliate against the Commonwealth, how much will it cost?

The others had similar ideas to Edwin, only Dio was still interested in what Lu Chen said. He said:

"Tell me what you think."

Lu Chen said, "I think you all know more about the economic situation of various countries than I do, so I won't embarrass myself in front of you. I will only talk about the weaknesses of the Commonwealth that I have seen."

"In the past, countries were used to storing their gold in the Commonwealth because it was the most powerful country in the world, so people didn't have to worry about the safety of their gold."

"But in recent years, countries have started trade wars, and have gradually withdrawn their gold stored in the Commonwealth. If this continues, the Commonwealth's gold reserves will definitely be insufficient. Once the gold reserves are insufficient, the Commonwealth will definitely not have enough gold to maintain the stability of the pound."

At this point, the bigwigs present no longer needed Lu Chen to say anything. In fact, these bigwigs had already discovered what Lu Chen said, but because the United States had experienced a stock market crash, they were all busy working with the government to rescue the market. That's why they didn't pay attention to these things.

Now after Lu Chen's explanation, they instantly understood what was going on. They even had many ideas of revenge against the Commonwealth. After all, they knew the Commonwealth very well.

Morgan and Dior both looked at Lu Chen with approval. Rockefeller smiled and said:

"Mr. Lu, you still don't admit that you are a financial genius. When you say this, you are exposed."

Lu Chen's face was very hot at this time. He knew these from reading history. These were discovered by financial researchers in later generations. They were not discovered by him.

But at this time, no one present paid attention to him. They were all attracted by Dio's next words.

"After listening to Mr. Lu's words, I believe everyone has an idea. How about giving it a try?"

Edwin began by saying:

"The Commonwealth is such a big empire, I believe they won't mind us going there to earn some pocket money. I think we can do it."

Morgan also smiled and said:

"Even if we don't do it, someone else will. So why don't we do it?"

Then everyone unanimously decided to go to the UK to try their luck. Of course, Lu Chen was also brought along by these big guys. Then they discussed the details and agreed on how to act and how to get the money back safely.

Lu Chen was still confused until he got on the plane. He didn't expect that these bigwigs would come up with a plan during the half hour of waiting at the airport. Are these bigwigs so casual? Shouldn't they find a place to sit down and hold a meeting to discuss it?

Just chatting casually, the operation of more than 1000 billion yuan was decided. Then I agreed without thinking and took out million US dollars to invest in this project.

Damn it! Sure enough, the world of the big guys is not something that ordinary people like us can imagine. Lu Chen sighed in his heart.

Through analysis, these bigwigs believe that the pound will definitely depreciate next year. It is unknown how the Commonwealth will deal with it at that time. But the bigwigs have already discussed it. No matter how the Commonwealth deals with it, the pound will depreciate. They will have a way to profit.

These big guys don't know how the Commonwealth dealt with it, but Lu Chen knows. The Commonwealth's solution is to abandon the anchoring of the pound to gold. Historically, the Commonwealth abandoned the gold standard in September 31.

But that is all in the future. Now he just needs to follow these big guys and make plans. I believe that in 31 years, his wealth will increase significantly.

After several refueling stops, the plane finally arrived in London in early January of the 30th year.

After Lu Chen and his friends got off the plane, they rested for a day. The next day, they were taken to the auction site.

When the time came, the auction was held on time. As soon as the first oil field was auctioned, the price was quickly pushed up. The current price quickly exceeded 400 million pounds. Such a price could only make Lu Chen stay away.

(During this period, 1 pound could be exchanged for 4.8 US dollars)

Then the oil fields behind were sold at higher prices. Lu Chen felt that he came to the auction just to see how rich others were. He had no sense of existence here.

In the end, Lu Chen fell asleep.

It was not until the auction was over that someone woke Lu Chen up.

After the auction, Lu Chen and his group went their separate ways. He then learned that the US government was only responsible for sending them here, but not for taking them back.

Lu Chen just wanted to curse now. Damn it, this is too much of a rip-off. I came to the Commonwealth happily, but now I can't go back. Damn it.

Lu Chen walked on the streets of London, thinking that his trip to London should not be in vain.

He recalled what was profitable in the Commonwealth during this period. Suddenly he slapped his head.

"Damn, how could I have forgotten this? Wasn't the famous penicillin discovered by a biologist from the Commonwealth? And it was published in a medical journal. Oh, by the way, who was the person who invented penicillin?"

Lu Chen walked and recalled. He remembered that he had seen this person's name when he was reading a novel before. But now he just couldn't remember it, which made Lu Chen uncomfortable.

It's like there's a beautiful woman standing in front of you, and you're about to explore the origin of life, but then the beautiful woman suddenly disappears.

Lu Chen lowered his head and walked to a newsstand. Then he flipped through magazines and newspapers casually. Suddenly, Lu Chen saw a magazine called "Experimental Pathology". His eyes suddenly lit up, and he finally remembered who discovered penicillin.

He picked up the magazine, paid the owner, and quickly left the newsstand.

He remembered that it was a man named Fleming who first discovered penicillin and published the discovery in a magazine.

He now wants to find this man named Fleming and buy his patent for extracting penicillin.

Since Fleming was a biologist, he must be a scholar. Moreover, he was also a researcher, so if we ask around at the university, we will surely be able to get some useful information.

After several days of inquiries in London, Lu Chen finally found out about Fleming and where his laboratory was.

Lu Chen came to Fleming's laboratory and made an appointment. Finally, he met Fleming.

Fleming looked at the Chinese man in front of him, somewhat confused. He didn't know who he was, and he was sure he didn't recognize this Chinese man. He also didn't know why this Chinese man came to see him.

"Hello sir, my name is Fleming, we should not recognize each other. I don't know why you came to see me."

Lu Chen was also looking at Fleming at this time, but he quickly gave up. He was sure that he could not see anything. This man was wearing a white coat, and it was impossible to tell whether he was rich or poor. It was also impossible to tell what he lacked, which could not provide any help for the subsequent conversation.

Lu Chen chose to get straight to the point when answering Fleming's question.

"Mr. Fleming, we didn't know each other before. But I saw a paper of yours in a magazine. It was about the cultivation and sterilization of mold. I am very interested in your paper. I wonder if you can share your research results with me, or sell them to me."

After listening to Lu Chen's words, Fleming lowered his head and pondered. He had published too many papers and could not remember this one. After a few minutes of recollection, he finally remembered this paper. He looked at Lu Chen and said apologetically:

"I'm getting old, and I didn't even think of this paper for a while. I'm very sorry. I wonder how much you are willing to pay for this research result."

Lu Chen still respected the old man who discovered penicillin. After all, the penicillin he discovered saved many lives. He said respectfully:

"It's an insult to you to measure your research results with money. I think your research results are priceless, but I do want to get your research results. Just name a price. If I think it's appropriate, I'll buy it. What do you think?"

Fleming was quite pleased with Lu Chen's compliments, but he also needed experimental funds to do research. He was willing to sell his research results for a good price and continue his research. He smiled and said:

"I like young people like you. If you give me 20 pounds, I will sell you all the information and data of this research."

Lu Chen thought about it. 20 pounds is nearly one million dollars. This old man is too mean. This price is definitely not acceptable. He needs to bargain.

Lu Chen said with difficulty:

"Mr. Fleming, I'm very sorry, I don't have that much money. My roommate has 10 pounds, do you think you can buy it for me?"

Fleming cursed in his heart, damn the little bastard, he reduced the price to half in one go. But my current funding is a bit tight. What should I do? Is it a bargain for this guy? This paper has been published for so long, and no one has come to me. Am I wrong? This discovery is actually not very valuable. Fleming doubted his original judgment.

He thought that an income of 100,000 pounds would be good. With this money, he could continue his current research project. So he agreed to Lu Chen's price.

An hour later, Lu Chen walked out of Fleming's laboratory carrying a large wooden box. Lu Chen looked at the large wooden box in his hand. It was like looking at a gold mine. It was full of money. This was the only thought in Lu Chen's mind at the moment.

After Lu Chen got the information about penicillin, he immediately went to the dock and bought a ticket back to the United States. He couldn't wait to return to the United States, produce penicillin, and make a lot of money.
