1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

Chapter 252 Design Selection

Hearing that Evelin was still going to draw a route, Lu Chen was even happier. He immediately shouted to the outside:

"Locke, go out and buy me a world map. I want a large one."

After hearing Lu Chen's instructions, Locke immediately ran out of the villa and went to buy a world map for Lu Chen.

After instructing Locke, Lu Chen looked at Evelyn with a smile, and then asked, "Evelin, do you know that there are islands for sale there? I also want to buy one."

Evelin rolled her eyes at Lu Chen in anger. What islands were there for sale? The island she told him about was bought by her family more than a hundred years ago. Besides, Lu Chen didn't even have a noble title, so he couldn't buy it even if someone offered it.

Evelyn said, "My dear, don't think about it. No one is willing to sell the island now. At most, it can be rented out. But even if it is rented out, there are conditions."

Lu Chen looked at Evelin puzzledly and asked, “What conditions are required.”

Evelyn said, "You must have at least a viscount title or higher conferred by the European royal family to rent an island in those European countries. Only those with a title of marquis or higher are eligible to buy an island."

Lu Chen was speechless. He didn't expect that in the 20th century, there would still be such class distinctions. The nobles were all rubbish. We ordinary people are the coolest. Lu Chen secretly complained in his heart.

Since he couldn't buy the island, he could only eat soft rice and hold on to the thighs. He temporarily settled on Evelin's private island.

Although he had a place to stay, Lu Chen was still going to talk to Aziz to see if he could rent a port. If he could rent a port and build a base there, Lu Chen could openly train his security team there.

But Lu Chen really couldn't leave now, because Xiao Rizi had not sent any news yet. Only after the order was confirmed and the shipyard started construction, Lu Chen would not have to wait here in New York.

After Lu Chen waited at home for more than ten days, on June 20th, Lu Chen finally received the information sent back by Xiao Rizi.

Lu Chen took a look and found that Xiao Rizi chose the design of Meyers Shipyard for the battleship. As for the cruiser, Xiao Rizi chose the design of Duncan's company due to Lu Chen's deliberate cheating.

Lu Chen calculated in his mind that Meyers Shipyard's offer for the battleship was 1.3 million, so two ships would be 2.6 million. Duncan's offer for the cruiser was 1200 million, so two ships would be 2400 million. Add to that the 600 million for the two frigates that Lu Chen wanted, and the total would be 2.9 million. He would make another million.

Not only did he get two frigates for free, but he also made a net profit of 10 million. Lu Chen instantly felt that being a middleman was very comfortable.

Then Lu Chen picked up the phone and called Franklin.

After Franklin answered the phone, Lu Chen said:

"Mr. Governor, I'm Lu Chen. Xiao Rizi has already sent back the selected plan."

Franklin was surprised and said, "So fast, tell me which shipyards they chose to design the plan."

Lu Chen said: "For the battleship, they chose the design of Meyers Shipyard. For the cruiser, they chose the design of Duncan Shipyard in New York City. For the frigate, they chose the design of Lieqi Shipyard."

Franklin paused for a moment and said, "I have already noted these shipyards. I will immediately notify them to come over and sign a contract with you."

After saying that, Franklin suddenly remembered that Lu Chen was also a shareholder of Lieqi Shipyard, so he asked:

"Mr. Lu Chen, do I need to notify the Lieqi Shipyard to come over? You are a shareholder of Lieqi Shipyard, you can just go directly to Lieqi Shipyard to sign the contract."

Lu Chen would not expose himself to Mitchell. If he went, Mitchell would definitely be on high alert and might not accept the order. Wouldn't it be a waste of his efforts? Lu Chen said:

"Mr. Franklin, you should notify everyone at Lieqi Shipyard to go to the state capital to sign the contract. Xiao Rizi doesn't know that I'm a shareholder of Lieqi Shipyard. If I sign the contract directly with Lieqi Shipyard and Xiao Rizi finds out, the contract might fail. So I will authorize someone else to take me to sign the contract with Lieqi Shipyard."

Franklin smiled and said, "If that's the case, then fine. I'll call the people from the Qi Shipyard over."

Then Franklin continued, "Mr. Lu Chen, what do you think about setting the signing date for tomorrow?"

Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Chen started looking for someone to sign a contract with Mitchell. Although Lu Chen hated Mitchell, he had to admit that Mitchell was very smart. If an ordinary person signed a contract with him, Mitchell would definitely be suspicious. Because such a large order would definitely not be placed by a private individual, but by a country.

In this case, the person who signs the contract must have some weight, because a country will definitely not allow an ordinary person or a small character to represent itself.

In this case, the requirements for the candidate are a bit high. First of all, it must not be Lu Chen's own people, because after Lu Chen and Mitchell confront each other, Mitchell will definitely find out all the details of Lu Chen. Therefore, these people under his command should have a record with Mitchell. Lu Chen's people will be easily recognized by Mitchell's people after they go there. Then he will definitely be exposed.

Lu Chen thought about it and looked at Evelyn. Evelyn's status must be high enough. The Rothschild family can represent not only one country, but also several countries. This will not arouse Mitchell's suspicion at all.

And Evelin is his girlfriend, Lu Chen definitely believes that she will not reveal her information to Mitchell.

The last point is that even if Evelyn defaults on her debt in the future, Mitchell will not be able to cause trouble to her. Mitchell's family does not dare to confront the Rothschild family.

However, Lu Chen didn't know whether Mitchell knew that Evelin was Lu Chen's daughter. If he knew, all the advantages mentioned above would be gone.

So Lu Chen wanted to ask Evelin how many people knew that he was dating her.
