The cruise ship drifted at sea for a month and finally reached its destination.
Lu Chen carried his luggage and got off the cruise ship. New York, the future financial center. A place many people dream of visiting. I also came to this place.
Lu Chen arrived in the United States, but his family suffered a big disaster. Half a month after Lu Chen set out, Xiaozhi's agents still found Hans and the others just as Lu Jiaming said.
But Hans and the others are Germans. They have no roots in Germany, so they have no choice. But they learned through some channels that Hans and the others were brought to China by Lu Chen.
They couldn't take revenge on Hans and the others, so they turned their anger on the Lu family. Lu's father and mother were assassinated many times. Fortunately, the Lu family had arranged for someone to protect Lu's father and mother early tomorrow morning. That's why the assassination was unsuccessful.
Under pressure, Lu's father had no choice but to sell the factory. Under the escort of Lu Jiaming's men, he left the capital and secretly returned to his hometown of Sichuan.
Lu Chen didn't know what happened to the Lu family at this time, and was looking around at the exit of the pier. When he left, Father Lu had already told him that someone would pick him up when he arrived in the United States.
After a while, a young man about the same age as Lu Chen walked up to Lu Chen.
"Excuse me, are you Lu Chen?"
Lu Chen looked at the young man and asked, "Who are you? Do you know me?"
The young man said: "My name is Chen Jianghe, and I was entrusted by your father to come here to pick you up."
Lu Chen looked at the young man with some suspicion: "How do you prove it?"
Chen Jianghe smiled and took out a telegram and said, "This is the telegram your father sent me when you set out. It also records the time when I received the telegram."
Lu Chen looked at it, nodded and said, "In that case, let's go."
Chen Jianghe took Lu Chen on the bus and then to a rental house near a university. Chen Jianghe said: "You stay here with me first. When you get a job and rent a house, you can move out."
Lu Chen looked at the house. There was only one house here, and he couldn't help but ask, "I live here, where do you live?"
Chen Jianghe said, "I'll just make a floor bunk."
Lu Chen said: "How is this possible, Brother Chen, I'd better rent another house."
Chen Jianghe thought for a while and said, "That's okay. I know there is a house for rent nearby. I will take you to see it later."
Lu Chen's eyes lit up and he said quickly, "Brother Chen, are you familiar with the area?"
Chen Jianghe said: "I work and go to school here, and I am very familiar with it."
Lu Chen then asked: "Then do you know what the housing prices are around here?"
Chen Jianghe was a little confused. He didn't know what Lu Chen meant by asking this. Is he planning to buy a house here? Chen Jianghe said: "The housing prices here are a bit expensive, about US$50,000 or US$60,000."
Lu Chen thought about why it was so expensive. Isn't it the Great Depression now? It's unreasonable that the house price is still so expensive.
When Lu Chen thought of this, he suddenly patted his head. The Great Recession was over in October, and it was only May now, so the housing prices here should not have dropped yet.
Thinking of the Great Depression, Lu Chen felt that this was his opportunity. He studied finance, but he knew that every economic crisis was a time for the tycoons to make money.
Seeing that Lu Chen didn't speak, Chen Jianghe thought it was because Lu Chen didn't have enough money, so he consoled him:
"Lu Chen, this is New York, and housing prices have always been relatively high. It's better to wait until you find a job here before considering buying a house. I'd better take you to rent a house first."
Lu Chen was interrupted by Chen Jianghe's words. Lu Chen quickly said:
"Okay, Brother Chen, let's rent a house first."
Under the leadership of Chen Jianghe, Lu Chen found a relatively good house. The rent is not very expensive either, the whole house is only US$40 a month. Lu Chen directly rented it for one year.
Seeing how happy Lu Chen was, the landlord even exempted Lu Chen from one month's rent and only charged 440 US dollars.
After renting the house, Chen Jianghe said goodbye to Lu Chen.
After Chen Jianghe left. Lu Chen immediately started planning how to make money during this worldwide economic depression.
First of all, the first step was the sharp fall in the U.S. stock market in October. This was a good opportunity. Chen Jianghe remembered that he had read an autobiography in later generations. That person shorted the U.S. stock market during this period and made his assets increase several times. Fan. Became a millionaire.
Chen Jianghe counted the funds in his hand, and found that he still had more than half a million US dollars. According to that person's method, it would not be a problem to double his more than five hundred thousand yuan tenfold.
Also during the economic depression, stocks in many industries were trading at cabbage prices. Industries such as oil and construction have all hit rock bottom. You can buy in large quantities at this time. In the future, I will be able to eat and drink here without worrying about just relying on these.
Thinking of oil, Lu Chen thought of his small life again. It seems that during World War II, all the oil in our lives was bought from the United States.
Lu Chen said with a wicked smile: "In future generations, Americans will try to choke other people's necks. I can also use oil to choke Xiaoli's neck in the future. Oh, and there is steel. Xiaoli is an island country and there is a shortage of steel. During World War II, There is also a shortage of steel in my childhood.”
When Lu Chen thought about it, ideas for dealing with Xiaoli came out one after another.
Lu Chen recorded everything in his notebook.
After Lu Chen recorded everything, Lu Chen laughed and said, "Damn little life, with all this, I'll be done with it whether you die or not."
After Lu Chen traveled through time, he never thought about what he should be grateful for in the future. When he came to this era, he also wanted to help China beat the little ones hard in the Anti-Japanese War.
But I never thought of how to help China. He wanted to join the army and make a living, and he asked Hans and others to train him. But he always felt that this was not what he was good at. And this will not be of much help to China.
Only now did he realize that there was another way to help Hua Xia.
After Lu Chen thought about it, he went out. Now that he had it, he wanted to make money in the stock market. You must open an account at the stock exchange.
Lu Chen went out and got directly on the bus to Wall Street.
Lu Chen walked into the exchange and took a look. Damn it, there were people everywhere and not a single counter was empty.
Lu Chen cursed: "Why are there so many people?"
At this time, a young foreigner found Lu Chen. He said: "Sir, do you want to trade stocks inside? I can help you."
Lu Chen looked at the foreigner with some suspicion and said, "How do you want to help me?"
The foreigner quickly said: "I am a clerk at Citibank. Our bank cooperates with the exchange. You can open an account in our bank and trade stocks."
Lu Chen instantly understood that some financial institutions in later generations also had such business. Unexpectedly, this business already exists at this time.
Lu Chen said to the foreigner: "Okay, then I will open an account in your bank."
Seeing that Lu Chen agreed, the foreigner immediately took Lu Chen to Citibank. Then he said to the person at the counter:
"This gentleman wants to open a securities trading account. Please help me with it."
The person at the counter looked at Lu Chen and said, "Do you have proof of identity? Or if you apply for a savings business in our bank, we can also handle it."
Lu Chen cursed in his heart, damn, they are tying up business again. Fortunately, I already have an account with Citibank.
Lu Chen handed the account opening certificate he applied for at Citibank in Shanghai to the teller.
When the teller saw that it was a customer of his own bank, he immediately opened a trading account for Lu Chen.
Lu Chen deposited 500,000 yuan into his account. Then left the bank.
Lu Chen now wanted to contact Fu Mingzhuo immediately and ask how the food collection was going. So he took the car to the telegraph company again, and then took a transoceanic telegram and sent it to Fu Mingzhuo. Then he left his address with the telegraph company. Let the telegraph company receive the call back and deliver the telegram to you in time.
After doing these things, Lu Chen took a taxi and rushed back to his rental house.
