1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

The next day, Lu Chen got up early, washed, had breakfast and went out.

As soon as Lu Chen went out, he saw Adams waiting for him at the door. He was a little surprised because Adams hadn't told him yesterday that he was also going to meet the governor.

Seeing Lu Chen leaving, Adams quickly got out of the car and greeted Lu Chen:

"Lu, are you surprised? Are you surprised? You didn't expect me to come pick you up, did you?"

Lu Chen walked up to Adams and looked at him with a puzzled look on his face. He asked, "Adams, why are you here? You didn't tell me yesterday that you would go with me to see the governor today."

Adams smiled and explained: "I didn't tell you because I wanted to give you a surprise."

Lu Chen got into Adams' car and said, "I don't like men, so I'm not surprised at your appearance."

Adams started the car and said, "Brother, what you said really hurts my heart..."

Adams brought Lu Chen to the state capital. After arriving at the state capital, Adams found the front desk staff and said, "Beautiful lady, I am Adams. I made an appointment with the governor yesterday to meet at this time. Please pass it on."

After the receptionist called the governor to confirm the number, he took Adams and Lu Chen into the governor's reception room.

The receptionist said, "Please wait here for a moment. The governor will be here soon."

Lu Chen and Adams found a seat and sat down. After a while, Lu Chen saw a man in a suit and a wheelchair coming to the reception room.

Lu Chen carefully looked at the face of the person who came. He wanted to confirm the difference between this person and the person on the US dollar in later generations.

As a result, Lu Chen discovered that this person looked very similar to the person on the $100 bill, and Lu Chen was sure that this person was Franklin without a doubt.

As soon as Franklin entered the room, Lu Chen stood up with Adams. Franklin quickly waved his hand to signal them to sit down.

He smiled and said, “Adams, I didn’t expect you to come to me. Is your father okay?”

Adams said quickly: "My father is doing well. He can still go hunting with a shotgun frequently. He even killed a wolf some time ago. He is in very good health."

Franklin smiled and said, "Then why didn't he come this time?"

Adams explained, "He was too busy with things at the factory and couldn't get away, so he asked me to come and see you, Uncle Franklin."

Franklin smiled and said, "I think he was afraid that I wouldn't help, so he asked you to come here to avoid losing face."

Adams smiled awkwardly, not quite sure how to respond.

Franklin looked at Adams's embarrassment and said nothing more. He just said:

"What your father told me some time ago puts me in a difficult position. The workers' wages remain the same. This is a decree issued by the federal government, and I have no way to change it."

Adams said quickly: "Uncle Franklin, you also know that the European countries have raised tariffs. The steel we produce is now unsaleable. New York does not need so much steel now, so how can we have so much money to pay workers such high wages?"

Franklin said, "Don't worry, Adams. This situation is only temporary. The federal government will definitely solve the economic problem. Go back and tell your father not to worry."

Adams was somewhat disappointed when he heard Franklin's answer. He didn't know how long it would take for the government to solve the problem. There were unemployed people everywhere on the streets. He didn't see any effective measures taken by the government to solve the problem.

He said to Franklin, "In that case, I will tell my father what you said when I get back. By the way, Uncle Franklin, there is another person who is here to see you this time."

After saying that, Adams pointed at Lu Chen and said:

"Uncle Franklin, this is Lu Chen. I'm sure you've heard of him."

Franklin smiled and said, "I know Mr. Lu Chen, an honorary citizen of New York City, and the person who acquired Guozong Bank with you. In fact, I have been paying attention to Mr. Lu Chen for a long time."

Lu Chen didn't expect Franklin to pay attention to him. He was a little flattered and said:

"I didn't expect that you, Mr. Franklin, would pay attention to a Chinese like me."

Franklin smiled and said, "It is precisely because you are a Chinese that I pay attention to you."

Lu Chen asked in confusion, "You pay attention to me because I am Chinese? I don't know what you mean, Mr. Franklin."

Franklin smiled and explained, "Mr. Lu, don't get me wrong. I mean that few Chinese people have such an extraordinary financial vision as Mr. Lu. I also know about the plan you and Mr. Morgan talked about to fight back against the Commonwealth. I think it's very good. So I started paying attention to you from that time."

So that's why this boss paid attention to me because of this incident. Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Chen thought that this boss was dissatisfied with him. Lu Chen said:

"So that's how it is. Mr. Morgan and his men already knew my opinions a long time ago. They just had reservations and didn't think of retaliating against the Commonwealth."

Franklin said, "Mr. Lu is too modest. I wonder if Mr. Lu has any new ideas for coming to see me this time?"

Lu Chen rubbed his head and said, "Mr. Franklin, you are joking. I don't have any ideas. I just came here to ask you, Governor, to do me a favor."

Franklin asked curiously, "I wonder how I can help Mr. Lu?"

Lu Chen said: "It's like this, my factory has developed a new drug, and then..."

Lu Chen told Franklin about his story. Franklin said, "So you want me to order the Ministry of Health to approve your new drug to enter the market?"

Lu Chen nodded and said, "Yes."

Franklin said in embarrassment: "I may not be able to help you with this. The procedures for drug marketing have been established long ago. I cannot change this procedure. Mr. Lu, you should prepare a new test report and then apply to the Ministry of Health. As long as the information is true and valid, the Ministry of Health will definitely approve it."

Lu Chen wanted to fight for it again, but Franklin said:

"Well, an hour has passed, and I have other things to do, so I won't send you off."

Adams looked at the time and it was already ten o'clock. He immediately said, "In that case, we will visit you, Uncle Franklin, next time."

After saying this, Adams took Lu Chen away from the state capital.
