Chapter 208 I want to be the founder of NBA
The night was very long and Lu Chen was very satisfied. The next day, which was the day before Christmas, Lu Chen and Evelin did not get up from the bed slowly until the sun was directly overhead.
After Evelin got up, she found that it was already noon, and she was so angry that she directly abused Lu Chen. After she abused Lu Chen, she quickly got dressed and prepared to go out.
Lu Chen said from behind: "Why are you in such a hurry? You are already in the fourth grade, what's wrong with skipping one day of class?"
Evelin said unhappily, “Today is Wednesday, and it’s that old-fashioned man’s class. If you’re not there when your name is called, you’ll fail the course.”
Evelin said and hurried out of the villa. Lu Chen called Hans.
"Hans, please help send Evelyn down. She still has to go to class."
As Hans went to the garage to drive, he complained, "You guys had such a great time last night and sang so loudly. Now you realize you overslept."
Fortunately, Hans' voice was quiet. If Lu Chen heard it, he would have to renovate the house. The sound insulation was too poor. Even Hans on the first floor could hear it.
After Evelin left, Lu Chen took out the note he found yesterday. He called Duncan according to the contact information on the note.
Soon Duncan answered the phone.
"Hello, this is New York Dockyard No. 1. I'm Duncan. May I ask who you are? What tonnage of ship do you need to order?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Hello Duncan, I'm Lu Chen. I wonder if you still remember me."
When Duncan heard that it was Lu Chen calling, he said excitedly:
"It's you, brother. How could I not remember you? If it weren't for your help, I would definitely not be able to keep Dock No. 1. Brother, is there anything you want to talk about?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Nothing, I just suddenly thought of you, so I called you. By the way, how is your shipyard business going recently?"
Duncan said bitterly, "Well, given the current economic situation, the United States' overall exports are very small. How can anyone come to me to order ships?"
Hearing this answer, Lu Chen smiled softly. This situation was already within his expectations. If Duncan's shipyard was too busy with orders, he would be embarrassed to ask him for help.
Lu Chen asked Duncan: "Duncan, have you heard of Mitchell? I heard he is also a shipbuilder."
Duncan thought for a moment and said, "Mitchell? That Mitchell, there are many people named Mitchell in our industry."
Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Mitchell from the Washington family."
"Oh, you're talking about him." Duncan said with some disdain after hearing Lu Chen's words:
"I know him. He's the Mitchell from the family that shamelessly added Washington to his last name, right?"
Lu Chen didn't expect Duncan to describe Mitchell like this. Lu Chen said curiously:
"Yes, it's him, Duncan. How can you say his family is shameless?"
Duncan smiled and said: "Our founding father has no descendants. This family just had a good relationship with the founding father at that time. After the founding father passed away, they added Washington to their surname and used this surname to cheat and accumulate a lot of wealth.
Of course, they also know that this kind of thing can last for a long time, so when they have money, they buy land in Washington like crazy, just to make people think that they are worthy of the name Washington. So I say they are shameless. "
It turns out that this family has such a dark history. Lu Chen said with a smile:
"So how much do you know about this Mitchell shipyard?"
Duncan replied: "Mitchell's shipyard is called Lieqi Shipyard. Its shipbuilding capacity is average, and it has two 5,000-ton docks. Their technology is due to Mitchell's money spent on poaching people. Overall, it's pretty good.
What's wrong, brother? You are interested in this shipyard. I advise you not to take this shipyard. Although I look down on Mitchell, I have to admit that his family is indeed rich. If you want to take their shipyard, I guess they won't sell it even if you take out all the money. "
Lu Chen smiled and said, "How could I possibly plan to take over this shipyard? Duncan, you think too highly of me."
Duncan said, "It's best if you think this way. This shipyard is their family's main industry. If you buy shares in this shipyard, they will probably do whatever it takes to deal with you."
Lu Chen's eyes lit up. Lieqi Shipyard was actually a listed company. This was a surprise. If the price of their stock could be raised, Mitchell would probably be heartbroken.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Duncan, we haven't seen each other for a long time. How about we make an appointment to have a meal together?"
Duncan said, "Forget about the meal. How about I invite you to watch a game? I heard there's a Yankees game soon."
Lu Chen was a little confused. What was the Yankees team for? They played basketball or football. But Lu Chen was embarrassed to refuse the invitation. After all, he needed Duncan to help him in the future. He thought for a while and said:
"Okay then, tell me the time and we'll meet there."
“We met at Yankee Stadium on Christmas morning,” Duncan said.
It was Christmas holiday again. Fortunately, the time didn't conflict. The dance party at the Fefori Police Station was held in the evening. He thought for a moment and said:
"Okay, see you tomorrow then."
"See you tomorrow."
After Lu Chen finished his call with Duncan, he immediately found Locke.
"Rock, do you know what the Yankees do?"
Locke frowned when he heard the name and said:
"Boss, you got the wrong guy. I haven't heard of the Yankees either."
Lu Chen was speechless for a while. He didn't even know what the Yankees were doing. If he went there tomorrow, he would definitely make a fool of himself. Forget it. When he goes there tomorrow, he will try to talk less. Damn, why aren't there basketball games at this time? That way, he can also watch games that he can understand.
But unfortunately, the American professional basketball league will not be held until 1946. Now there is not even a professional basketball team, let alone professional competitions.
Lu Chen couldn't help but feel disappointed when he thought of this. He couldn't watch basketball, let alone football. The Major League Soccer was not established until 1993. It's only been 31 years now, and if you want to watch professional football games in the United States, you have to wait another 62 years.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen had an idea. Since there were no such competitions, he could organize one himself. Otherwise, he would have no other entertainment activities except making babies at home on weekends.
