1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

Chapter 318 An unexpected surprise

Lu Chen was short of money and didn't want to sell his stocks. He had no choice but to think of other ways. First, he thought of Dior. The dividends from the oil sales should also be given to him. And the order that Fefuli promised should also be given to him.

After thinking about these two places to make money, Lu Chen suddenly thought of the Red Gate. Didn't they establish a presence in the Dutch East Indies? How could they do without advanced weapons? The performance of his new rifle is much better than the old bolt-action rifle. You are so dangerous, why don't you equip yourself with some?

Thinking of this, Lu Chen took action immediately. He immediately asked Hans to send him to the New York Police Department.

When Lu Chen arrived at the police station, it was already afternoon, but Fei Fuli was not there today, which made Lu Chen miss the opportunity.

Fortunately, Lu Chen found out from Fei Fuli's assistant that Fei Fuli was called to the mayor's office by the mayor. So Lu Chen asked Hans to take him to the city government.

After Lu Chen explained his purpose to the person at the front desk and asked them to notify the mayor, Lu Chen hurried to the mayor's office.

When Lu Chen arrived at the mayor's office, he found that the door was not closed. He knocked on the door and looked inside. Then he saw five or six people sitting in the mayor's office, including Fei Fuli.

Mayor James frowned when he saw Lu Chen. He was talking to his subordinates, and Lu Chen's presence at this time made him unhappy. But when he thought that Lu Chen had a security company with thousands of employees, his eyes lit up instantly. So he waved at Lu Chen and motioned Lu Chen to enter the office.

When Lu Chen saw so many people in the office, he instinctively wanted to leave. With so many people, they must be discussing something important. If he went in at this time, wouldn't he be disturbing others?

Just as he was about to close the door, he saw James waving at him. This made him a little confused. What was going on? Was he asking him to come in and discuss it together? After Lu Chen thought for a while, he walked into the office.

As soon as he entered the office, Lu Chen smiled and greeted everyone, then found an empty seat nearby and sat down. After seeing Lu Chen sitting down, James introduced him to everyone:

"This is Mr. Lu Chen, the owner of Flood Security Company and Lu's Company. I asked him to come and discuss this case with me."

Hearing the word "case", Lu Chen was a little confused. Was there a big case in New York? Why did James gather so many people to discuss it? He even saw Sanchez in a corner of the office.

Lu Chen asked with some confusion: "Mr. Mayor, can you tell me the details of this case? You didn't explain the case to me clearly over the phone."

James was very satisfied with Lu Chen's performance. He nodded to Lu Chen calmly, and then said to Fefferi:

"Director Fei Fuli, please introduce this case to Mr. Lu Chen."

When Fefferi heard James's name, he immediately stood up and said:

"In the past month, there have been more than one incident of people jumping off buildings or falling off buildings on various streets in New York. After our police investigation, we found that these people had taken an unknown drug. According to the interviews with eyewitnesses at the scene, we learned that these people had hallucinations after jumping off buildings or falling off buildings.

Some said they were little birds and were about to fly up to the sky. Some said they saw their grandmother. Moreover, these people had red eyes and many of them foamed at the mouth after they died. …”

Listening to Fei Fuli's description, Lu Chen felt something was wrong. This made him feel extremely familiar, as if he had heard of this situation somewhere before. He thought about it carefully in his mind, and then suddenly froze. He cursed in his heart:

"Isn't this the state of taking too many drugs? Aren't those drug kids who often appear in TV dramas in this state?"

Then Lu Chen was puzzled again. This drug was not sold in the United States. Why did people suddenly take drugs in New York? Could it be...

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, that is, the process information that was stolen from him before, these people may have copied the process now. So Lu Chen naturally thought of the people who sold the medicine, they must be those people from the Washington family. His information was stolen by Mitchell, and there was no one else except them.

While Lu Chen was thinking, Fefuli finished explaining the situation, and James continued:

"These jumping and falling incidents have caused a huge negative impact in New York. And the public opinion they have aroused is also very strong. I asked you to come here to discuss a plan with you to prevent such incidents from happening again."

Favre said: "Mayor, to prevent these people from jumping or falling from buildings, we need to arrange police patrols on every street to find and stop them. But there are too many streets in New York, and our police department is seriously understaffed. Mayor, are you considering expanding the staff of our police department?"

James said: "No, there are already enough police officers, we can't increase the number of police officers."

Another person said: "In fact, we can install some guardrails on the roof. With the guardrails, those people who accidentally fall from the building can be prevented."

James said: "What about people who jump from buildings? How to guard against them?"

Listening to the conversation of these people in the office, Lu Chen felt a little strange. What was going on? These people were all taking drugs, so all these things happened. Shouldn't they be banned from taking drugs? How come what you are discussing has nothing to do with drugs?

After listening for a while, Lu Chen couldn't bear it any longer, so he asked:

"Didn't you say they took an unknown drug? Shouldn't you investigate this drug to see if it was this drug that caused these people to jump or fall from buildings?"

"The drugs are fine, they are new drugs, they were prescribed by the doctors," Favre said.

Lu Chen was stunned. Are the doctors here so awesome that they directly prescribe white flour as a normal medicine to patients? Then I have nothing to say. With these doctors' endorsement, this medicine will definitely not be checked.

At this time, James said to Lu Chen, "Lu Chen, your Hongshui company has several thousand employees, and they are also engaged in security work. So, you can have your company's people cooperate with the police officers in patrolling the streets. If you find someone who is about to jump or fall from a building, immediately organize a rescue."

After hearing what James said, Lu Chen felt that this happiness came too suddenly. Originally, the group of people in Hongshui Company could only rely on themselves and the company for support. Unexpectedly, James actually gave them such a big job. Lu Chen thought for a while and said:

"That's not a problem, except for the hiring fee."

James said, "I'll give you ten dollars a week per person. What do you think?"

Ten dollars a week, more than forty dollars a month, is enough to pay for one employee. Then the security company won't have to spend a lot of money on subsidies. How could Lu Chen not agree? Lu Chen quickly said to James:

"Don't worry, Mayor. Our flood security company will cooperate with Director Favre to protect the safety of New York citizens."
