1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

On the second day after Lu Chen was hospitalized, Adams, who had received the news, also came to the hospital in a hurry.

Lu Chen looked at Adams' dark skin and said to him with a smile:

"Hey, where have you been? Even your skin color has changed."

Adams put down the fruit in his hand and said to Lu Chen unhappily:

"I went to Brazil. Although I didn't buy the big mine, I got a medium-sized mine there. I stayed in the mine for more than a month, and naturally became like this."

Adams said as he looked at Lu Chen lying on the bed. He frowned and said to Lu Chen:

"I heard that you were retaliated by those people in the textile factory? Do you know that it was those people who did it? Do you want me to help you get revenge?"

Lu Chen glanced at Adams and said:

"I told you to stop causing trouble. You want to help me get revenge? I don't even know who did it yet. How could you know?"

Adams smiled and said, "You know what? I actually have some information about this. Do you want to know?"

Lu Chen looked at Adams in surprise and said anxiously, "Don't keep me in suspense. Tell me everything you know."

Adams said: "I got the news accidentally. I was attending a cocktail party and accidentally saw Weiss from Koda and Victor from Kalia chatting together."

Lu Chen nodded and said "hmm".

"So I went over and listened to what they were talking about. Do you want to guess what they were talking about?"

Lu Chen said speechlessly: "I'm not in the mood to play with you now, hurry up and tell me."

Adams smiled and said, "I heard the two of them talking about you suing those textile factories. They think you are a bad person. Not only do you only bully the weak, but you also only use money to bully others. You are not worthy of being on the stage at all."

Lu Chen asked: "Is that all? Is there anything else?"

Adams asked doubtfully, "Aren't you angry when they say that to you?"

Lu Chen said: "Why are you so angry? They are just jealous that I have more money than them. Besides, they also came from bullying the weak."

Adams spread his hands and said, "I didn't expect you to be so open-minded. Well, let me continue. I also heard them talking about cotton and raw silk. They said that cotton production will decrease next year, and the price of raw silk will rise. They plan to stock up cotton and raw silk in advance."

Lu Chen was a little confused, and then he quickly recalled the history in his mind. History says that the Great Depression will be accompanied by famine and global drought. But Lu Chen can't remember which year it was. Could it be next year?

But no matter what year it was, he would not stock up on these things now. The next year, that is, 1932, in Lu Chen's memory, was when American products were greatly reduced in price.

According to historical records, the U.S. gross national product was more than 1928 billion U.S. dollars in 1932, but in it dropped directly to just over billion U.S. dollars.

In 1932, the prices of agricultural products in the United States also dropped sharply. A liter of oats was only a few cents. The same was true for corn, which was also a few cents a liter. Cotton was only four cents a pound. They said that the price of cotton would increase at this price. These two people obviously knew Adams and knew that he had a good relationship with me. They said this in front of Adams on purpose.

If I wasn't a time traveler, I might still be deceived by these two old bastards. But now, I will definitely not get involved in this matter.

Lu Chen waved his hand and said to Adams, "Adams, you don't have to say anything. These two old guys must know you and know that we are good friends. They are deliberately lying to you."

Adams was stunned and asked in confusion: "How do you know he is lying to me?"

Lu Chen explained, "Adams, don't you know what the situation is now? It's an economic winter now. The streets are full of unemployed people, and the number of unemployed people is increasing. People's income is decreasing. People can't even guarantee food and clothing now, so how can they afford to buy clothes? If no one buys clothes, why do those factories still produce so many clothes? If they don't produce clothes, why would they need to buy cotton and other things? So the price of cotton will not rise next year, but will fall instead."

Adams looked at Lu Chen in disbelief and said:

"According to what you said, the economic situation next year will be even worse? Impossible. Didn't the president say that the government has already started to provide assistance? Besides, next year is the Los Angeles Olympics. With the support of the Olympics, the economy will definitely improve."

Lu Chen was somewhat speechless. If it weren't for your Emperor Hoover, your people might have lived a better life. His series of operations in the face of the economic crisis were comparable to Chiang Kai-shek's micromanagement. He raised tariffs and directly set off a trade war. The US exports shrank by more than half.

He forced companies not to reduce workers' wages. This directly led to a large number of layoffs and a surge in unemployment. If Franklin had not come to power later, the United States would have been half destroyed.

The most outrageous thing was that he actually asked Mai Paopao to send troops to suppress the old soldiers who were demanding their salaries. Of course, what Lu Chen couldn't understand the most was that those old soldiers didn't rebel.

Lu Chen smiled and shook his head, "You are the only one who still believes in the president. Haven't you seen that there are more and more Hoover villages now?"

"According to what you said, my steel mill will definitely still lose money next year."

Adams said very frustratedly.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Losing money is inevitable. People are starving now, so why would they need steel products? But in a few years, your steel plant will definitely get better."

Adams said speechlessly: "The steel mill is losing tens of thousands of dollars every month. In a few years, it will lose millions more. Damn, I don't know how long this will last."

Lu Chen smiled and comforted him, "Adams, it's okay. This is a good time for you to expand your factory. Many steel mills are facing bankruptcy now. You can take advantage of this opportunity to acquire some steel mills. And aren't you acquiring mines now? There will definitely be more people selling mines next year."

Adams curled his lips and said, "Speaking of mines makes me angry. Our mine in Australia is about to stop production. It used to be our family's biggest source of income, bringing us millions of dollars every year, but this year, the mine has been shut down for almost half a year."

Lu Chen looked at Adams in surprise and asked:

"Your family owns a mine in Australia?"

Adams nodded and asked, "Why, do you want to buy ore? Our mine is a high-level mine."

Lu Chen said somewhat embarrassedly:

"Um, Adams, I have something I want to ask you for help with."

"What is it?" Adams asked.

Lu Chen said: "I want to send someone to Australia, and then arrange for her to work in your mine."

Adams looked at Lu Chen curiously and asked:

"Who is he? Do you want me to assign him the most strenuous work? I guarantee he'll die after working for two months."

Lu Chen said quickly, "Don't get me wrong. I'm not handing over the person who offended me to you. I have a friend who has some conflicts with her family and wants to leave the United States. Let me arrange it. Since you have property in Australia, I will let her go to Australia, and you can just arrange some easy work for her."

Adams patted his chest and said, "Okay, just leave the person to me, I promise to make proper arrangements for you."
