Lu Chen has been waiting for Hans to bring people to the United States since he returned home.
While waiting, Lu Chen was not idle either. Lu Chen 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, that is, the National Bank broke out a shocking news. The bank manager actually misappropriated bank funds to buy himself a house in New York and also speculated in stocks. And now these assets are all losing money. The hole cannot be repaired.
As soon as this news came out, a large number of depositors questioned the credibility of China 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. An agreement was finally reached.
After the negotiation was completed, Adams immediately came to Lu Chen in a hurry.
"Lu, the government has agreed to the plan you proposed. Now you can pay."
After the scandal broke out at the National Bank, Lu Chen predicted that the government would definitely be restless. But I never expected that the government would take down the group of capitalists on Wall Street so quickly. Agreed with the plan he proposed.
After his conditions were met, Lu Chen stopped dragging his feet and followed Adams to the New York Civic Center. In the presence of New York State Treasurer Jess. Signed a transfer contract with the original boss of Guozong Bank.
After the signing was completed, Minister Jess met with Lu Chen and Adams. He smiled and said to Adams and Lu Chen:
"Boy, thank you for lending a helping hand. Solving this banking crisis."
Adams also smiled and replied: "Minister Jess is so polite. It is our honor to be able to make some contributions to New York."
Jess looked at Lu Chen again and said, "This must be Mr. Lu."
Lu Chen said quickly: "Hello, Minister Jess. I am Lu Chen."
"Mr. Lu, in view of your contribution to our New York State, our city government has decided to grant you an honorary citizen 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 for future generations. I spent four million to get a green card. It’s so damn expensive.
Although he was slandering in his heart, Lu Chen still thanked him with a smile on his face:
"Thank you to the city government. It is an honor for me to be a New York citizen."
After the agreement was signed, officials immediately announced the news that the bank had been replaced, and stood up for Guozong Bank, saying that the new owner had injected sufficient funds. It ensures the safety of depositors' property.
The Federal Reserve also issued a message confirming the reliability of the news.
Thanks to the efforts of many parties, the crisis of the National Bank was finally resolved without any danger.
After the bank matter was settled, Lu Chen transferred the funds he owned to his own bank. Regarding this matter, Manager York also expressed his understanding.
Later, under the introduction of Adams, Lu Chen met the owner of a company that produced motorcycles. Under the leadership of his boss, Lu Chen inspected the company's production equipment.
Lu Chen found that the company's production equipment was very complete. Lathes, milling machines, punches, and drilling machines are all available. Moreover, the boss also agreed to package the motorcycle production materials and technology to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen was naturally happy, and finally Lu Chen bought the company for 300,000 yuan.
After doing these things, Lu Chen finally waited for the arrival of Hans and the others.
Lu Chen brought Ike to the dock early in the morning. It was only at noon that I saw Hans disembarking the boat with more than ten people.
After Hans saw Lu Chen, he quickly came over with someone: "Boss, I'm sorry, I brought more brothers this time, but it's not strange. Haha, it was Ike who said in the telegram that boss, you are here We need to make a big move. Let me bring more good hands."
Lu Chen looked at the people behind Hans and found that there was actually a person dressed as a scholar in the team.
Lu Chen pointed at the man and asked, "Hans, I don't object to you bringing someone here, but what's going on with you bringing a student here?"
Hans followed Lu Chen's finger and looked over. He immediately called the man over, and then explained to Lu Chen: "Boss, this is a boy from a friend of mine, named Ibaka. He used to be a college student, and he still follows What kind of expert has studied something? Aren't things difficult now? My friend heard that I was coming to the United States, so he asked me to bring him over and find him a job here."
Lu Chen asked: "Ibaka, what can you do? You used to study with the professor or something."
Ibaka adjusted his glasses and said, "Hello, Boss Lu, I heard Uncle Hans talking about you. I majored in chemistry in college. I used to study 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: "Do you know about the copolymerization reaction?"
Ibaka nodded again.
Lu Chen said: "In that case, you don't need to find another job. I will build a laboratory for you. Just study copolyamide."
Although Ibaka was a little confused, he nodded.
Lu Chen was really happy. With copolyamide and later nylon, he could produce fiber raw silk by himself. Then you can make the nylon cloth that will become famous in later generations. It can also be used to produce stockings.
Lu Chen was prepared to spend a lot of money in order to let women wear his favorite stockings. Think about it, I will see my sister wearing black stockings in the future. Lu Chen felt a surge of excitement in his heart.
Ike on the side interrupted Lu Chen's obscenity and said: "Boss, Hans and the others have come so many people at once. We are planning to build a house and there won't be enough room for them."
Lu Chen's thoughts were interrupted and he was very unhappy.
"What's so difficult about this? Adams sells manors to me every day. If we buy a manor, their accommodation problem will be solved. And there will be room for the weapons they bring."
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 remember to call me? Haven't you been busy with factory matters during this time?"
Lu Chen said: "The things in the factory have been taken care of. Now we just need workers. As long as we recruit workers, my factory can start working. I'm not looking for you today because of factory matters. Didn't you say some time ago that there was a worker?" Is the estate for sale?”
"What, Lu, have you figured it out and are you ready to buy a manor? I told you a long time ago that you are now a person with status and you still rent a house. You are too embarrassed. I introduced it to you last time The manor has not been sold yet. If you want it, I can take you there to see it now."
Lu Chen said: "I really want to buy a manor. Where is the manor you mentioned?"
Adams quickly said: "Where are you? I will pick you up immediately."
Lu Chen told Adams the address of the restaurant where he ate.
Adams said excitedly: "Just wait, I will come right away."
Lu Chen said quickly: "Please prepare a few more cars for me. My people have arrived today."
"Okay, I'll bring three cars over. Hang up."
Adams drove a new car in front of Lu Chen today.
"Lu, what do you think of my car? This is a car I ordered from General Motors. Do you want one? Let me tell you, this car is really fast. It only takes a long time to run from my house to this road." 20 minutes.”
Lu Chen looked at Adams who kept nagging, and said a little irritably: "Adams, why are you a salesman now? You sold me an estate some time ago, and now you sell me a car."
Adams put his arm on Lu Chen's shoulders and said, "I am helping you integrate into the rich circle in the United States. You are so rich now, why are you so low-key. How do you keep a low profile about how those rich people know you?"
Lu Chen looked at Adams with disgust. He moved Adams's hand away from his shoulder, and then said: "Is your careless behavior the style of rich Americans? Let me tell you, if you do this, your father will probably punish you again. .”
"I'm no longer afraid of him. He will only cut off my money. Now that I have more money than him, I'm afraid of him."
Lu Chen decided not to chat with a stranger like Adams. He looked at the cars parked on the roadside and found that there was only one car passing 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 get a few more cars. Where are the cars?"
"Don't worry, those classic cars are a bit slow and I'm left behind."
Adams looked at the watch on his hand and said, "They will definitely be here in ten minutes."
Adams waved his watch in front of Lu Chen's eyes.
"Lu, how about it? The new watch I bought is pretty good. Why don't you buy one too?"
Lu Chen now hates Adams very much and really wants to kick this talkative man to death. One is selling cars, the other is selling watches. If I hadn't known him well, I would have thought he was a salesman.
But Lu Chen understood Adams' current changes very well. Lu Chen learned that Adams was his father's illegitimate son, who was taken home when he was almost a teenager. Otherwise, if a big family raised such a son, he would probably be laughed to death by other families.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the car behind slowly arrived at the restaurant.
Lu Chen greeted Hans and his group to get into the car with their belongings. Then he started the car and followed Adams, who was leading the way.
Adams took Lu Chen to a stop in front of a large manor.
After getting out of the car, Adams rang the doorbell. Then someone opened the door for him.
"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 now."
Lu Chen looked at the manor. In front was a garden, and then there was a three-story villa. There is also a lawn behind.
Adams asked in a low voice: "How is it? This manor is not bad."
"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 fetch 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 smiled and said hello: "Hello, Mr. Paul."
"Adams, please sit down, please sit down. 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 estate."
Paul looked at Lu Chen and then said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, I heard Minister Jess talk about you. You are a nice young man. Are you planning to buy this manor from me?"
Lu Chen quickly said: "Yes, haven't I just been granted permanent residency? I'm thinking of buying a property here in New York. It will be my home in New York."
Paul smiled and said, "Mr. Lu doesn't need to explain. Since Mr. Lu is interested in buying this manor, let me tell you the price. I plan to sell this manor for 500,000. I don't know if Mr. Lu can accept it."
Lu Chen said: "Although I like your manor very much, Mr. Paul, five hundred thousand is too high. I have also visited other manors before. Although their manor is smaller than yours, Mr. Paul, the price is still high." But it’s only 200,000.”
"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. The price of five hundred thousand is not expensive."
"Mr. Paul, this price is too expensive. Let me pay 300,000. Do you think it will work?"
Paul shook his head and said, "Five hundred thousand, every penny is a penny."
Lu Chen said regretfully: "Then I can only apologize to Mr. Paul. The price is indeed too high."
After speaking, Lu Chen greeted Adams to leave.
Paul frowned and asked, "Mr. Lu, you really don't want to think about it?"
Lu Chen smiled and shook his head and said, "Mr. Paul, the price you gave is too high."
After speaking, Lu Chen stood up and walked out of the villa.
When Paul saw that Lu Chen was really about to leave, he said, "400,000, I'll give you 100,000, Mr. Lu, this is already my biggest concession."
When Adams heard that Paul took the initiative to drop 100,000 yuan, he immediately stopped Lu Chen.
"Lu, this manor is sold for 400,000 yuan, which is already very cheap. Why don't you buy it."
Lu Chen was really impressed by Adams. This kid is quite smart sometimes, why is he so stupid now? Now that he opened his mouth, how could he bargain with Paul?
Lu Chen could only say helplessly: "Okay, Mr. Paul, 400,000, I will buy it."
Paul took out a pre-prepared contract and said with a smile: "Okay, let's sign the contract."
Lu Chen glanced at Adams with a depressed look, then took the contract and made sure there was no problem before signing 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: "It's okay now. My things have been packed up a long time ago. I'll just wait for this manor to be sold and I'll leave with my things."
"As for the housekeepers and nannies in this manor, Mr. Paul has also made arrangements."
"I will take everyone with me."
"Okay, it just so happens that the people I brought can move in here today."
After Paul received the money, he stood up and shook Lu Chen's hand.
"Mr. Lu, then I will take my people and leave."
"Goodbye Mr. Paul."
After Paul and others left, Adams smiled and said to Lu Chen: "Lu, do you blame me for making you pay a high price?"
"Hey, Master Adams, you still know that the price is high."
Adams whispered to Lu Chen: "Let me tell you, this manor is not as simple as it seems. If you buy it for 400,000 yuan, you will be happy."
Lu Chen said angrily: "In that case, why don't you buy it yourself."
Adams touched it and said, "I'm not sure. I heard that this manor used to be the residence of a wealthy British businessman. During the Revolutionary War, this wealthy businessman died unexpectedly on the battlefield. I heard that he left him alone while he was still alive. All the money is hidden in this manor. If you..."
Lu Chen quickly interrupted Adams.
"Adams, you believe this kind of thing. Why didn't you say there is a pirate's treasure here?"
Lu Chen didn't pay attention to Adams. He walked to the side hall and said:
"Hans, I have bought this place. You can bring people to move all your things in."
"Ike, take someone back to your residence and move all the things that belong to us in the house here."
After making arrangements, Lu Chen returned to the living room and said to Adams, "Adams, follow me to the hospital and bring me, Brother Chen, back. Give me the few cars you brought with you."
Adams said angrily: "Lu, you want just those junk cars?"
"How about giving me your new car?"
Adams said: "Let's go pick up Chen."
Lu Chen and Adams arrived at the hospital. After spending half an hour completing the discharge procedures for Chen Jianghe, they took Chen Jianghe back to the manor.
