Chapter 341 Goodbye Xu Wenqiang
Chapter 341 Goodbye Xu Wenqiang
The next day, Lu Chen called Hans out early in the morning.
Hans brought Lu Chen to a teahouse in the center of Magic City. Here, Lu Chen met Xu Wenqiang. With Lu Chen's help, Xu Wenqiang was doing better than Lu Chen remembered.
He was wearing a neat suit and a black gentleman's hat. Lu Chen almost didn't recognize him.
Seeing Lu Chen coming, Xu Wenqiang greeted Lu Chen and then took Lu Chen into a private room.
"Mr. Lu, long time no see, you are still so handsome and elegant."
After Lu Chen sat down, Xu Wenqiang smiled and complimented Lu Chen, then said:
"I wonder if Mr. Lu wants to talk to me about something."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "If I have nothing to do, can't I invite you out for tea, Mr. Xu?"
"Mr. Lu, you are joking. Mr. Lu, inviting me to have tea is something I have been dreaming of. But I know that you, Mr. Lu, have a lot of business overseas. If there is nothing, how could you come back specially? And you will not invite me out on the first day you come back."
After listening to Xu Wenqiang's words, Lu Chen smiled and said, "No wonder you have reached your current position, Mr. Xu. Your intelligence ability is really amazing."
"Mr. Lu, let's stop complimenting each other. If you have anything you want me to do, just tell me directly and I will definitely do it for you beautifully."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "In that case, I'll just say it straight. I want you, Mr. Xu, to help me investigate the Yun family."
"The Yun family! Which Yun family?"
Xu Wenqiang looked at Lu Chen with some confusion. He was not sure which family Lu Chen was talking about. He did not remember any big shot with the surname Yun in the Magic City.
Lu Chen explained: "You know Yun Qingfeng, right? I heard that he is quite familiar with the people from your Red Gate."
Xu Wenqiang thought for a moment and said, "You are talking about Mr. Yun Xiaotian and his family, right?"
Yun Xiaotian! Lu Chen had never heard of this name, and he didn't know if he was from the Yun family. He thought for a moment and said:
"Tell me about this Yun Xiaotian."
Xu Wenqiang said: "Yun Xiaotian is from Yangcheng. I heard he is very famous there. Oh, and he has a son named Yun Wuhen, who seems to be related to you."
"Yun Wuhen, are you talking about my eldest brother Lu Jiaming's brother-in-law?"
"Yes, that's him. He came to the Magic City some time ago and stayed at Master Lu's house."
Xu Wenqiang said quickly.
"That's right, it's the Yun family. I would like you to help me investigate their family."
After hearing Xu Wenqiang's words, Lu Chen confirmed it directly.
Lu Chen wanted to investigate his brother's father-in-law, which puzzled Xu Wenqiang. He said:
"Mr. Lu, if you want to know about the Yun family's situation, why don't you go and ask Master Lu directly? He should know it very well."
Lu Chen explained: "This is my personal matter. I don't want my eldest brother to be embarrassed after knowing it, so I can only trouble you to help investigate it."
Xu Wenqiang thought for a while and then said:
"The Yun family's power is all in Yangcheng. I don't even know a few people there. Mr. Lu, aren't you making things difficult for me?"
Lu Chen smiled and looked at Xu Wenqiang. "No way. I know that you have been in Hong Kong for a long time, Mr. Xu. It's impossible that you don't have any connections there."
After drinking a cup of tea, Xu Wenqiang smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you, Mr. Lu, even knew this. Okay, I will help you investigate the Yun family. I wonder what information about the Yun family you want to know, Mr. Lu."
Lu Chen said: "As long as it's about the Yun family, I want to know."
Xu Wenqiang shook his head and said, "This is too troublesome. They are not just a few people in their family. They are a big family there. It will be too troublesome to investigate like this."
Lu Chen thought about it and felt that this would be a bit embarrassing for Xu Wenqiang. After all, the clan power in Yangcheng was still very strong. So he said:
"Then, can you help me find out what businesses their family has and who their main members are? What jobs are these people doing now? This shouldn't be too much trouble, right?"
"Okay, I'll ask my connections to check for you when I get back, Mr. Lu."
This time Xu Wenqiang did not refuse and agreed directly and happily.
Then Xu Wenqiang said to Lu Chen: "I also have something I want your help with, Mr. Lu."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Whatever it is, you tell me. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse."
"Mr. Lu, you know about ore, right?"
Lu Chen nodded and asked, "Why, Mr. Xu wants to sell the ore? You can just contact William from my company. He has been collecting these things."
Xu Wenqiang said: "I have already talked to Mr. William, but he said that he is no longer responsible for these matters. So I want to talk to you, Mr. Lu."
"How long has this been going on?"
Lu Chen cursed William in his heart. This man really couldn't stay in his company. He actually pushed the business out the door.
Xu Wenqiang said: "It wasn't long ago, it happened just last month."
"I know, but I don't know what kind of ore you have and how much."
Xu Wenqiang said: "Iron ore, the quantity is quite large, I have dozens of tons."
Dozens of tons, where did Xu Wenqiang get so much iron ore? Also, doesn't China also have steel mills? Can't he just sell the iron ore directly to the steel mills? Why sell it to me? Lu Chen was very puzzled.
"Mr. Xu, this iron ore can be sold in China, and the price is higher than what I paid for it here. Why did you think of selling it to me?"
Xu Wenqiang explained: "This batch of iron ore did not come to me through normal channels, so I can only sell it to people abroad. I dare not sell it domestically."
Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "There are good and bad iron ores, and the prices are different. I don't know what your iron ore is like. Did you bring a sample here? I want to see the quality of the iron ore."
Xu Wenqiang quickly asked someone to bring out a piece of stone, and then placed the stone in front of Lu Chen. Lu Chen looked at the ore carefully and found that the iron content of the ore was not very high. It was just a poor iron ore, so Lu Chen shook his head and said:
"Mr. Xu, the iron content of your ore is not very high. It is estimated that only 20% to 30% is iron. This is a poor iron ore. The price of this kind of ore is very low. It is estimated that one kilogram costs only a few cents."
Xu Wenqiang said, "It's okay. It's better to keep it lower than to put it in the warehouse as a decoration."
Lu Chen nodded and said, "Okay, you can bring the ore directly to our company's warehouse at the dock tomorrow. I'll send someone to wait for you there."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Lu."
After the two of them finished discussing their respective matters, they got up and left the teahouse.
