1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

Chapter 222 I'll give you a reminder

James frowned when he heard that Lu Chen wanted the slum land in Lower Manhattan. Because there were too many poor people living here. These people had no source of income. This was their gathering place. If the land was sold to Lu Chen, the government would have to move these poor people out. This was a big project and would cost a lot of money. In the current economic environment, the government would not have the money to resettle so many people. Otherwise, the government's plan to rebuild Lower Manhattan would not have been aborted so many times.

He frowned and said, "Mr. Lu, why do you want the land there? It's a slum. The land there is not valuable. The key is that if the land there is sold to you, the government will have to spend a lot of energy to resettle those poor people. No one is willing to do that now."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. You don't have to relocate those poor people for the time being. I just need the ownership of that piece of land now."

"Is that so? That's fine. If I'm elected mayor of New York, I can sell you the ownership of that land."

Lu Chen was very happy to hear that James agreed to sell the land in Manhattan to him. He said:

"What about the price?"

James thought about it. It was a slum, and the land had no value at all. The current land price was also very cheap, and it was estimated that it would not be very expensive, but he could not make an offer to Lu Chen on his own initiative. He needed to wait until he became the mayor and let professionals evaluate it before making an offer.

He said: "I can only show you my promise and give you a 8% discount on the price."

Lu Chen was very satisfied with James' answer. He said, "Okay, I agree to support you with another 100 million yuan."

After Lu Chen and James had their talk, Lu Chen said goodbye to James and returned to Evelin.

Seeing Lu Chen coming back, Evelin asked, “How is it going? Is the deal done?”

Lu Chen nodded and replied with a smile: "It's settled."

Evelin was also very happy for Lu Chen when she heard his answer. She asked someone to bring two glasses of wine over, and then handed one to Lu Chen.

"Come on, let's have a toast to celebrate."

Lu Chen took the wine glass and clinked glasses with Evelin with a smile on his face.

At this time, Fei Fuli also came over and said to Lu Chen with a smile:

"Seeing you drinking here, I guess you must have had a pleasant conversation with James this time."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "This is all thanks to your help, Uncle Feifuli."

Favre waved his hand. "This is not my credit. You talked to James yourself. I just made a connection."

Lu Chen said, "If it weren't for Uncle Feifuli's help, I wouldn't be able to make this deal happen."

After the two chatted for a while, Lu Chen left the party on the pretext that he had something else to do and went straight back to his home.

During the remaining two days of Christmas holiday, Lu Chen took Evelin to the legendary Hawaii for two days. After the holiday, Lu Chen returned to his factory.

As soon as Lu Chen returned to the company, someone came to report to him.

"Boss, someone from Luca's side just called and said that the leader of the Hongmen Huaqing Gang, Wu, and a few others are here to visit."

Lu Chen said to the person reporting, "Ask them to let them pass and let Gang Leader Wu and the others in."

Why did Wu Xuance come to me again? Is he here to buy equipment from me again? I don't have any equipment to sell to them now. No, I have to inform Li Qiang to speed up the expansion of the factory. With this little production capacity, how can it meet the market demand?

Wu Xuance and his group were quickly led to the company's reception room.

Seeing Wu Xuance and his group, Lu Chen was like seeing money. His face was full of smiles. He stood up and quickly asked Wu Xuance and his group to sit down in the reception room. Then he asked someone to make them some good tea. Lu Chen smiled and asked Wu Xuance:

"I don't know why you came to see me this time, Boss Wu. Did you run out of weapons so quickly?"

Wu Xuance quickly shook his head and said, "The last batch of weapons didn't run out so quickly. I was asked to come to you, brother Lu Chen, to discuss other matters."

Hearing that Wu Xuance was not here to buy weapons, Lu Chen's joy instantly shrank by half. He smiled and asked, "I wonder if Gang Leader Wu has anything you want to discuss with me."

Wu Xuance hesitated for a moment and said, "I came to see you at Uncle Chen's request."

Lu Chen was very surprised that Chen Jiu was looking for him for something. Lu Chen asked curiously:

"I don't know what Uncle Chen wants to talk to me about."

Wu Xuance said, "Uncle Chen asked me to come and mediate between you and the Yun family. He wants you to release Yun Wanting."

When Lu Chen heard that Wu Xuance came for the Yun family's affairs, the smile on his face disappeared immediately. Then when he heard that Wu Xuance asked him to release Yun Wanting, Lu Chen felt unhappy. Lu Chen said expressionlessly:

"Boss Wu, it's not that I won't let Yun Wanting go. It's that Yun Wanting is not here at all, and I have never detained Yun Wanting. If you don't believe me, you can check it yourself. I believe that among the Chinese working here, there must be many people from your Red Gate. You can also go to them to find out the situation and see if what I said is true."

Wu Xuance smiled bitterly. Actually, he had already asked the disciples here before coming. He also knew that what Lu Chen said was indeed true. But Uncle Chen insisted that he come to Lu Chen to ask for clarification. Seeing the change in Lu Chen's attitude towards him, Wu Xuance knew that he must have taken on a thankless job this time.

He said helplessly: "I believe that you, Brother Lu Chen, will definitely not do such a thing. But Uncle Chen insisted that I come to confirm this matter with you, and he hopes that you can reconcile with the Yun family."

Lu Chen said coldly: "Boss Wu, go back and tell Uncle Chen that the Yun family has repeatedly come to trouble me and even hired people to attack me. I can't reconcile the grudges between Yun Qingchen and Yun Bufan and me."

After investigating Wei Zhengyi some time ago, Wu Xuance also knew that the grudge between the two people in the Yun family and Lu Chen was not so easy to reconcile. He smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Lu Chen ignored Wu Xuance's wry smile and continued:

"Boss Wu, I still want to remind you in the Red Gate that you'd better cut off your relationship with the Yun family. You should also know that Xiao Rizi has now occupied the northeast of China. And the two people in the Yun family are very close to Xiao Rizi. They are obviously two traitors. If you get too close to them, be careful not to be labeled a traitor. If this really happens, your Red Gate's reputation of a hundred years will be ruined."
