Chapter 48 Meeting the Governor for the First Time

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

As soon as Lu Chen went out, he saw Adams waiting for him at the door. He was a little surprised. Adams didn't tell him yesterday that he was going to see the governor.

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

"Lu, are you surprised or not? You didn't expect that I would come to pick you up."

Lu Chen stepped forward and looked at Adams with a puzzled look on his face and 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 won't tell you, because I want to give you a surprise."

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

Adams said while starting the car: "Brother, your words hurt my heart so much..."

Adams took 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 the word."

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

The receptionist said: "You two, 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 wheelchair and wearing a suit coming to the living room.

Lu Chen looked at the face of the visitor carefully. He wanted to make sure there was any difference between this person and the person on the dollar bill in later generations.

As a result, Lu Chen discovered that this person looked very similar to the person on the $100 note. Lu Chen was sure that this person was Franklin.

As soon as Franklin entered the door, Lu Chen stood up with Adams. Franklin quickly waved his hand for the two of them to sit down.

He smiled and said: "Adams, I didn't expect you to come to me. How is your father?"

Adams quickly said: "My father is very good. He can still often go hunting with a shotgun. He also killed a wolf some time ago. He is in extremely good health."

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

Adams explained: "The factory was too busy and he couldn't leave, so he asked me to come over 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 specifically to avoid losing face."

Adams smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer the question.

Franklin looked at Adams' embarrassed look and didn't say much. He said directly:

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

Adams quickly said: "Uncle Franklin, you also know that countries in Europe have raised tariffs, and the steel we produce cannot be sold at all. New York can't use so much steel now. Where can we still have so much?" Money to pay workers such high wages.”

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

Adams was a little disappointed when he heard Franklin's answer. He didn't know how long it would take for the government to solve the problem. Now the streets are full of unemployed people. I haven’t seen any effective solutions from the government.

He said to Franklin: "In this case, I will convey your words to my father when I get back. By the way, Uncle Franklin, there is another person coming to find you this time."

After speaking, Adams pointed to Lu Chen and said:

"Uncle Franklin, this is Lu Chen. You must have heard of him."

Franklin smiled and said: "I know Mr. Lu Chen, an honorary citizen of New York City, is also the person who acquired China National 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 you would pay attention to me, a Chinese, Mr. Franklin."

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

Lu Chen asked with some confusion: "Because I am Chinese, you pay attention to me? I don't know what you mean, Mr. Franklin."

Franklin smiled and explained: "Mr. Lu, don't get me wrong, I mean there are very few Chinese people who have extraordinary financial vision like Mr. Lu. I also know the plan you and Mr. Morgan mentioned to counterattack the Commonwealth. . I thought it was pretty good. So I started paying attention to you from that time on."
