1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

Chapter 206: Daily Life is about Attracting Investment

After Lu Chen and Wu Xuance discussed other matters, Wu Xuance left Lu Chen's house.

In the evening, when Evelin came back from get out of class, Lu Chen immediately approached her.

“Evelyn, I want to discuss something with you.”

Evelyn said, “You talk, I listen.”

"In two days, on Christmas, I will go to a dance. You can go with me."

Lu Chen said with a grin.

Evelin thought for a moment and said, “Okay, just call me when you go.”

Evelin suddenly remembered a piece of news after she finished speaking. She felt that Lu Chen would be interested in this news. She walked to Lu Chen and sat down, leaning sideways in Lu Chen's arms. She said to Lu Chen:

"Lu Chen, I heard a piece of news that I think you might be interested in."

Lu Chen hugged Evelin and asked with a smile:

"what news?"

Evelyn said, "This news has spread among our Jewish circles in Europe. It is said that Xiao Rizi is inviting big businessmen like us to invest in Northeast China. And he has also given us many preferential conditions."

Lu Chen was really interested in this news. They were actually looking for foreign investment these days. Lu Chen thought about it. He had no chance to get in. If he could establish a base in the Northeast and secretly support the resistance forces there, then the comrades there would not be so desperate.

Lu Chen asked Evelin, "Do they have any requirements for those who go to invest, and what benefits can they provide?"

"They want us to invest in them. They mainly want us to start financial businesses there. Like banking, insurance, that kind of business."

"You are only allowed to work in the financial industry! What about industry, such as steel and machinery?"

Lu Chen asked with some surprise.

Evelin pouted and said, "They don't need these things themselves, so how could they hand over these industries to us? But we don't bother to do these industries. It's so good to do finance, making money with money. We don't have to worry about production."

If he just went into the financial industry, wouldn't that be helping the tyrant? If he had enough money to live a life of luxury, he would be even more extravagant than in his previous life. After careful consideration, Lu Chen decided not to go to the Northeast. If he was allowed to work in the real economy, he might find an agent to go there.

Anyway, he would not go there. If he went, he would be called a traitor.

While Lu Chen was still considering whether to invest, someone had already arrived in the Northeast. Yun Bufan, the second son of the Yun family, had already opened a tobacco shop in the Northeast. In order to open this tobacco shop, Yun Bufan spent a lot of money and found many connections. In the end, he also obtained the nationality of Xiao Rizi.

Yun Bufan now walks in a very graceful manner and speaks in a very loud voice. If someone calls him Yun Bufan, he will get angry with them. If someone calls him Inukai Taro, he will be very happy to talk to you.

At night, when Lu Chen picked up Evelin and was about to go back to his room to rest, the phone in the living room suddenly rang.

This made Lu Chen stunned in place. Evelin stood up from Lu Chen's arms while laughing secretly. Lu Chen complained unhappily:

"Who is this? They call me so late. Don't they know it's time to sleep?"

Lu Chen came to the phone and picked up the receiver. He said in a very aggressive tone:

"No matter who you are, if you don't have anything important to do, just wait for my revenge."

Fu Mingzhuo looked at his watch in confusion. It was only eight o'clock. It was not yet Lu Chen's bedtime. Fu Mingzhuo said:

"Lu Chen, it's me, Fu Mingzhuo."

Hearing that it was Fu Mingzhuo who called, Lu Chen calmed down a lot, because Fu Mingzhuo usually wouldn't call Lu Chen. Lu Chen asked:

"Ming Zhuo, it's so late. Are you calling me because something happened in the factory?"

Fu Mingzhuo said, "There is nothing wrong with the factory. The law firm called me just now and said that there is a result in our lawsuit against Yamato Textile Factory."

The lawsuit against Xiao Ri Zi's factory had a result. Lu Chen was a little excited and asked quickly, "How is it? What did the court rule?"

Fu Mingzhuo said somewhat frustratedly: "The court ruled that we lost the case."

"What! How could they lose the case? Are those lawyers just pushovers? We gave them so much evidence, and they still couldn't win!"

Lu Chen shouted angrily.

Fu Mingzhuo explained: "Lu Chen, don't be angry first, listen to my explanation first."

Lu Chen said: "What else is there to explain? Is there any need to explain? Just change the legal team and continue the lawsuit."

Fu Mingzhuo yelled, "Lu Chen, calm down. This is not the lawyers' team's fault. Yamato Textile Co., Ltd. got the authorization letter issued by Kalia at some point. With the authorization contract, there is no possibility of plagiarism."

"Damn it, it's all that bitch Edith's fault. If she hadn't taken refuge with Kalia, we wouldn't be in such a bad situation. Damn it, I'm going to kill this damn bitch."

Lu Chen said angrily.

Fu Mingzhuo heard Lu Chen cursing Edith on the phone. He immediately advised:

"Lu Chen, don't be too angry. Just think of this as a lesson for us. In fact, we didn't suffer any substantial losses."

There is no substantial loss, but the intangible loss is huge. First of all, the company's reputation will be hit by this loss. You accuse someone of plagiarism, but the court says no, and you are making a false accusation. If this reputation spreads, consumers will doubt whether your company really owns the copyright of this product. This will hit the company's reputation.

Lu Chen hated Edith so much now. Lu Chen said to Fu Mingzhuo:

"Ming Zhuo, do you have anything else to say? If not, then I'm hanging up."

Fu Mingzhuo said: "I have something else to report to you."

Lu Chen said: "Good news or bad news?"

"Of course it's good news!"

Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then just tell me!"

Fu Mingzhuo was a little dissatisfied in his heart, it seems that you don’t want to listen to bad news, right?

"Chen Jianghe asked me to tell you that he made the gun you told him about."

Chen Jianghe has developed a semi-automatic rifle? Lu Chen was extremely excited when he heard the news. He immediately said:

"Where's the gun? I'll be there right away."

Fu Mingzhuo said quickly: "He has just come up with the design drawings, and it will take a few days for the actual product to be made. Not only that, it will have to be tested and inspected after it is made, and it can only be considered officially formed after all these have passed."

Lu Chen immediately lost his temper. He was so happy for nothing. Lu Chen regretted why he didn't get a blueprint of AK47 in his previous life. Now he had to design it from scratch.

Lu Chen said, "Okay then, let me know when you're done. I'm going to rest first."

After saying that, Lu Chen hung up the phone.
