1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

After more than ten days of preparation, everything for the fashion show was basically ready. Lu Chen also decided on the specific performance date, which was June 6st. Then Lu Chen started sending out invitations. Not only that, Lu Chen also placed advertisements on major platforms.

At that time, there were no televisions or computers. In order to allow more people to see the fashion show, Lu Chen asked Fu Mingzhuo to rent a relatively large gymnasium and prepare to hold a free fashion show.

On June 1st, Lu Chen brought a group of models and celebrities invited by Edith to the gymnasium to start the official fashion show.

Although the current economy is very bad, there are still many people coming to watch the fashion show. The stadium is already full before the show starts.

Soon it was 9 o'clock, the band started playing music, and the host Fu Mingzhuo also stood on the stage.

Fu Mingzhuo said to the audience:

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming to watch the fashion show held by our Lu's Textile Factory. Some of the clothes on display were designed by the famous designer, Ms. Edith, and some were designed by our company itself."

"Without further ado, let's let our beautiful models begin their performance for everyone."

The first to come on stage were a group of Hollywood stars invited by Edith. Seeing these stars come out, the audience cheered.

"Look, that's Rita. She's wearing such beautiful clothes."

"Look, look, that's Zorina. I didn't expect that this Chinese boss would invite her too."

"Oh! Oh my God, that's Diana, she's here too."

The audience was shocked by these famous stars, but Lu Chen frowned when he heard these discussions. These stars were too famous, and people paid attention to them instead of their clothes, which made Lu Chen unhappy.

After the celebrities left the stage, the next to come out were the 20 or so Chinese beauties that the Huaqing Gang sent to Lu Chen. As soon as they came on stage, they attracted the audience's attention.

Many people have never seen the clothes these models wear.

They were all discussing the clothes among themselves.

Seeing that the focus of the discussion had finally returned to clothes, Lu Chen was very happy.

After the fashion show, Dior came over with two people.

"Lu Chen, your fashion show is really good. By the way, who designed the clothes worn by the models at the end? They are really good."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "These clothes are not designed by one person. They are our Chinese clothes. Why, Mr. Dior came to tell me this? Do you want to buy a few sets to take back?"

Dio waved his hands quickly and said with a smile:

"I didn't come here to buy clothes with you. I brought some people here to introduce them to you."

Dio pointed at Lu Chen and said:

"Everyone, this is the organizer of this fashion show, Lu Chen, Mr. Lu."

Then Dio pointed at the person behind him and said:

"This is Mr. James Farley, Chairman of the Democratic New York State Committee."

Lu Chen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that a fashion show like his would attract such a big shot. He quickly shook hands with Farley.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Farley."

Dio then pointed at the young man and said:

"This is Mr. William McChesney Martin."

Just as Lu Chen was feeling a headache after listening to this long list of names, William Martin said to Lu Chen:

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Lu Chen. You can just call me William Martin."

Lu Chen also said: "I'm glad to meet you too."

After Dio saw that they knew each other, he smiled and said to Farley:

"Farley, aren't you trying to attract investment for your election next year? Let me tell you, Lu Chen has a lot of idle funds. Why don't you give it a try?"

Farley smiled and said to Dio, "I know Mr. Lu Chen is a big entrepreneur in New York State, but he has never sought Chinese investment before. I think it's better to forget it."

Dio smiled and said, "Just because no one has done it before doesn't mean we can't do it this way. Besides, Hoover's approval rating is not low right now. Do you have the confidence that you can surpass him next year?"

Farley was a little embarrassed. He smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, we really don't have the confidence."

Dio said, "Since you don't have confidence, why don't you try to win the votes of the Chinese people? I know that there are many Chinese Americans in Mr. Lu Chen's company."

Farley thought for a moment, then glanced at Lu Chen and said:

"Chinese people in the United States don't participate much in politics. They haven't voted in previous elections. Mr. Lu Chen, do you have the ability to get the Chinese to vote for us?"

Lu Chen listened to the conversation between the two and immediately realized that Dio was trying to get some capital for himself. He was full of gratitude towards Dio. Facing Farley's questioning, Lu Chen immediately said:

"Don't worry, Mr. Farley. I am very familiar with the top leaders of Red Gate. If you run for election, I can definitely get those Chinese to vote for you."

After hearing what Lu Chen said, Farley couldn't help but be moved. You know, there are a lot of Chinese in the United States. If all of them vote for the candidate nominated by their side, then their chances of winning next year will definitely increase greatly.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Then I wonder how Mr. Lu Chen wants us to cooperate."

Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Farley, what do you think of the Chinese community?"

Farley thought for a moment and said, "The Chinese are very hardworking and willing to endure hardships. They are willing to do any job. They are a very good group."

Lu Chen said, "Mr. Farley, do you think it is reasonable that such a hardworking and hardworking group is still restricted in the United States?"

Farley said with a wry smile: "I know it's irrational, but it's hard to make them be like us now."

Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "I know this is difficult, so I don't want to achieve it now, but I hope to repeal the law that restricts Chinese people. It shouldn't be difficult to give Chinese people an equal opportunity in law. After all, the United States is a free country."

After thinking for a while, Farley asked, "Then I wonder how much money Mr. Lu Chen is going to invest in us."

Lu Chen was somewhat dissatisfied in his heart. These Americans really put money first. Lu Chen began to calculate how much money he would have to pay in order for these people to repeal the bill.

Lu Chen thought for a while and tried to say:

"Five million, Mr. Farley, this should be enough money for you to prepare for the election."

Farley didn't expect Lu Chen to pay so much. He had to work hard to get a sponsorship of 100 million from Dior. Lu Chen did pay 500 million directly.

Farley swallowed his saliva and said immediately:

"If Franklin is elected next year, we will work hard to repeal this bill."

Hearing Farley's assurance, Lu Chen smiled and thought to himself that this deal was a sure thing. He said to Farley:

"Don't worry, Mr. Farley. I guarantee that Franklin will be elected next year."

Dio was very happy to see Farley and Lu Chen reach a cooperation, and said to Lu Chen: "Lu Chen, since you have helped Mr. Farley, you can't not help William Martin."

Lu Chen looked at Dio in confusion. Dio smiled and said:

"William Martin is going to Wall Street to apply to open a securities trading firm. I want you to help him."

Lu Chen glanced at William Martin. He didn't know why Dio wanted to help this man, but Dio had just given him a big benefit, so he had to give Dio some face. He thought for a moment and said:

"Then I will invest another million in Mr. William Martin."

William Martin heard Lu Chen's words and said quickly:

"Thank you so much, Mr. Lu Chen. I will open a VIP room specifically for Mr. Lu Chen at the exchange in the future."

Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "We are all friends. Isn't it normal for us to help each other?"

After that, Lu Chen said to Dio and the others, "It's already noon. I'm the host today. Let's go have lunch together."

After Lu Chen finished speaking, he asked Ike to drive a few cars and took Dio and the others to a nearby restaurant.
