1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

Chapter 243 Heading to the State Capital

After Lu Chen recruited Daniel, he chatted with Daniel for a while.

In order to retaliate against Mitchell, Daniel told Lu Chen that Mitchell would definitely keep the stock price of the shotgun shipyard above $20.

When Lu Chen asked the reason, Daniel said:

"I'm not sure about the specific reason. It seems that he did this because some people asked him to do so. But I can guarantee the authenticity of this news, because Mitchell asked us to ensure that the stock price is above 20 yuan no matter what. If you don't believe it, Mr. Lu Chen, you can try to lower the price by yuan, and you will definitely encounter great resistance."

Lu Chen was a little confused. Why must the stock price be kept above 20 yuan? If so, wouldn't that mean he was waiting to be beaten? After thinking for a while, Lu Chen asked again:

"Then do you know how many shares of the Qiqi Shipyard Mitchell holds?"

Daniel immediately said, “Ten million shares.”

Ten million shares means Mitchell holds 50% of the shares of Lieqi Shipyard. Lu Chen asked again:

"Then do you know how much he spent on acquiring Lieqi?"

Daniel shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. When Daniel acquired this company, he didn't ask me to participate, so I didn't participate."

Lu Chen suddenly thought of the steel company that he had not found before, so he asked again: "Then do you know the steel company that Mitchell owns?"

Daniel nodded and said, "I know this. Daniel's steel company is called Boiling City Steel Smelting Company. I don't know the specific assets, but I heard that Mitchell went to Brazil last year to acquire an iron mine in the name of this company."

Lu Chen said in surprise: "Then why can't I find out that Mitchell is a shareholder of this company?"

Daniel explained with a smile: "He acquired this company in the name of another company, so you can't find out that Mitchell has this steel company in his name if you check the shareholder information."

So that's how it is. Lu Chen thought Mitchell would just hold the shares directly. Based on Mitchell's behavior, Lu Chen suddenly had a guess. Is there something wrong with this steel company? That's why Mitchell would use the company's shareholding method.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately wanted to have someone investigate this company. If he could find evidence against Mitchell from this company, it would be much easier for Lu Chen to deal with Mitchell.

Lu Chen said to Daniel:

"Daniel, I have something else to do later. Let's stop here for today. You can report directly to Manager Fu Mingzhuo at Lu's company tomorrow."

Daniel nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, Boss, you go ahead and do your work. I will definitely report to Manager Fu tomorrow."

After Lu Chen finished chatting with Daniel, he immediately left the trading room and rushed to the Pinkerton Detective Agency with Hans.

Originally, Lu Chen wanted Dio to help him, but he felt that if he kept asking Dio for help, Dio would think he was incompetent. So he came here to find Sanchez. He wanted him to investigate first. If Sanchez couldn't find out, he would consider asking Dio for help.

When Sanchez saw Lu Chen coming again, his eyes narrowed into slits with laughter. He said to Lu Chen enthusiastically:

"I was wondering why I kept hearing magpies calling outside today. It turns out that you, Mr. Lu, are here."

He made a gesture of invitation to the sofa opposite him, and then said to Lu Chen: "Please take a seat."

Lu Chen didn't bother to be polite with Sanchez and walked directly to the sofa opposite him and sat down.

After watching Lu Chen sit down, Sanchez took out a tea cake and then a tea knife. He cut a small piece of tea leaves from the cake and made a cup of hot tea for Lu Chen.

Sanchez said, "Mr. Lu Chen, this is the tea I bought from Chinatown. Try it."

Lu Chen did not touch the tea that Sanchez brought over. Damn, although Lu Chen was a novice in drinking tea, he knew that the first brew of this tea cake was not meant for people to drink.

Lu Chen smiled at Sanchez and said, "I won't drink the tea. Let me get straight to the point."

Sanchez smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Lu, please go ahead."

Lu Chen said, "I want the information about Feicheng Smelting Company, especially the information that cannot be seen by the public. I wonder if you can get it, Mr. Sanchez."

Sanchez was silent for a while, and said with some embarrassment:

"Mr. Lu, it's a bit difficult to investigate the dirty laundry of this company. The Washington family is behind it. It's too risky to investigate it."

There are risks, which means the price will be very high. Lu Chen is not afraid of the high price. In order to get the black material on Mitchell, Lu Chen can still accept a higher price. Lu Chen asked directly:

"Just tell me the price."

Sanchez said, "Five hundred thousand."

Five hundred thousand. Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Okay, as long as the information you get is reliable, I'll give you the five hundred thousand."

Sanchez said: "Mr. Lu is straightforward. I will arrange for someone to check this company right away."

After Lu Chen finished chatting with Sanchez, he returned home.

After a month of operation, David finally converted all of Lu Chen's funds into shares of Lieqi Shipyard. Now Lu Chen already has 240,000 shares of Lieqi Shipyard, accounting for 12% of the equity.

After Lu Chen received David's message, he immediately contacted Dio. Lu Chen contacted Dio because he wanted to contact Franklin through him.

Dio was very kind to Lu Chen, so he helped Lu Chen. Dio said to Lu Chen:

"I'll call Franklin for you. You can go to the New York State Capitol to see him tomorrow. After all, you are one of the investors in his campaign."

The next day after he finished talking to Dior, Lu Chen arrived at the state capital early. When Lu Chen told the staff his name, the staff immediately took Lu Chen to a reception room. Then they said to Lu Chen:

"Mr. Lu, please wait a moment. The governor is in a meeting now. He will come to see you when the meeting is over."

After saying this, the staff member left the reception room.

Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh that the big family was indeed much more powerful than himself. If he went to see Franklin by himself, although Franklin would meet him because he was the funder of his presidential campaign, if he wanted to see him, it would probably take several days to go through the process, plus waiting in line. Without more than ten days, Lu Chen couldn't even enter this room.

It's not like now, when I just arrived at the government hall, I said my name and was directly arranged to the reception room without going through any procedures.
