Chapter 377 Travel Guide
Chapter 377 Travel Guide
After seeing Wu Xuance and the other two off, Lu Chen fell into deep thought. He had basically figured out the current backgrounds of his two enemies.
The Washington family now has the support of the Rothschild family, and he can't kill them at all. If Lu Chen wants to deal with them, he can only wait a few years until the art students start to target the Jews. Only then will Lu Chen have a chance to deal with the Washington family.
As for the Yun family, Lu Chen had never expected that the Yun family was actually dealing in rare minerals. As Lu Chen had no foundation in China, it was beyond his reach to deal with the Yun family. Even if the Yun family's overseas business was destroyed, as long as the Yun family's mineral business was not collapsed, the Yun family would not fall even without overseas assets.
If he went after the Yun family now, they might take revenge on his eldest brother. Lu Chen felt like he had no idea where to start with these two families.
Since there was no chance to deal with the two families now, Lu Chen simply put them aside and started to busy himself with his own affairs.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was spring again. In the past few months, Lu Chen had been developing steadily. First, good news came from Chen Jianghe. Referring to the information of the 88, he improved the design of the 92 infantry gun, and at the same weight, the performance of the 92 infantry gun was directly improved to a higher level. Of course, the price was also much more expensive than the original 92 infantry gun.
After Chen Jianghe, another good news is that Lu Chen's highway was finally repaired and put into operation. On the first day of operation, Lu Chen invited President Franklin and the mayor of New York to preside over the opening ceremony.
After the road was repaired, Lu Chen thought about how to promote this road and increase its popularity. Speaking of increasing popularity, Lu Chen thought of the Michelin travel guide. He remembered that this travel guide was very popular in Europe. So he thought about asking Michelin to record his road.
So he found Morgan and asked him to help him contact the editor of Michelin magazine. As for why he found Morgan instead of Dior, it was because Dior was in the industry and most of his connections were in the United States, while Morgan was in the banking industry and had banks all over the world and connections all over the world.
With Morgan's help, Lu Chen soon met the person in charge of Michelin magazine. When the person in charge saw Lu Chen, he immediately showed a look of disgust.
He said to Lu Chen in a stiff tone:
"Are you looking for me?"
Lu Chen looked at the person in charge with some confusion, not knowing how he had offended this person. He said to the person in charge very politely:
"Yes."
The person in charge said to Lu Chen impatiently:
"What do you want from me? I'm telling you, we don't accept Chinese people here."
Lu Chen said, "Sir, you may have made a mistake. I am not here to look for a job. I am here to ask you to go to the United States and include the interesting places in the United States in the travel guide."
The person in charge looked Lu Chen up and down and said with some doubt:
“You are not Chinese?”
Lu Chen said: "I am Chinese and currently live in the United States."
The person in charge thought for a moment and said, "You are the person introduced by Mr. Morgan."
Lu Chen was stunned at first, thinking that the man didn't recognize him at all. After realizing what was happening, he nodded and said:
"My name is Lu Chen. Morgan introduced me to you."
"Why did Mr. Morgan find a Chinese?"
The person in charge muttered something and then looked at Lu Chen and said:
"Mr. Lu, our travel guide is currently only sold in Europe, and it only contains some tourist routes in Europe. We have no plans to sell it in the United States."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Sir, the United States is now a country with a large population, and there are many people who like to travel. They all suffer from the lack of a magazine like a travel guide that introduces various attractions. If you sell the travel guide in the United States and include American tourist routes in it, your magazine will definitely be a big seller."
"And I also know that you are organizing people to rate the hotels and inns along the route. Let me tell you, there are many good hotels in the United States. Not only do they have good service, but the food they cook is also delicious. I sincerely invite you to rate those hotels for me."
Lu Chen listed a series of advantages and highlights of his side, and even promised the editor some benefits, but the editor was indifferent. He just didn't agree to include the United States in the travel guide magazine.
As Lu Chen talked about the latter part, he felt very angry. Seeing that he couldn't persuade the editor, Lu Chen didn't waste any more words and just left Michelin's magazine.
He thought, since you guys don't make a travel guide for the United States, I'll do it myself. I have a newspaper company anyway, so I can just ask the people there to make a travel guide.
After returning to New York, Lu Chen went directly to the Washington Post, found Eugene, and told him his idea.
Lu Chen's idea interested Eugene very much. He said to Lu Chen:
"A travel guide? That's a good idea. But I don't know which tourist routes we should include."
Lu Chen said: "I think we mainly include some self-driving tour routes. Now many people have cars and have the conditions for self-driving tours. Let those who want to travel by self-driving know more about the specific locations of tourist attractions, gas stations and hotels along the highway. Let them arrange their itinerary more reasonably."
Lu Chen advocated the inclusion of highway routes, which was selfish. He originally wanted to make his own highway popular, which was why he came up with the idea of making a travel guide, so this magazine would definitely include highway routes first.
But Eugene had a different idea from Lu Chen. He thought that railway routes should be included first. Because railways have basically covered every city in the United States, and most Americans choose cheap trains when traveling. So he thought that including attractions on railway routes first would make them more popular.
Finally, after Lu Chen's inspection, Eugene finally agreed to make a road travel guide first.
