Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 21 Opportunity amid crisis

After the business talk was over, the next step was to chat about some trivial matters. Zhang Zhizhong had official business this time. Zhang Zhizhong didn't say what he was going to do specifically, and Lu Bu had no problem with it. The two of them talked about academic aspects or modern warfare.

Zhang Zhizhong was pleasantly surprised to find that Lu Bu not only made a lot of achievements in science, but also had an extremely profound understanding of war, including this world war. He even judged that there would be fluctuations in the West in the next few years. By then, China would work hard to catch up. time in the West. . .

It's not realistic to transcend, but it's just not as useless as it is now.

The only thing you need to worry about is the Japanese country, and the pressure will be much less.

"If Mr. Lu joins the army, he will definitely be a famous general!" Zhang Zhizhong exclaimed: "Have you ever thought about returning to your country to fight for your country?"

"When the country needs it, it is our duty to do so!" Lu Bu said solemnly. China has not yet started a war with other countries. It would be better for Lu Bu to be here than there. But if a war breaks out: "If one day there is a disaster in China, Bu will definitely appear there." On the battlefield!”

"Okay!" Zhang Zhizhong said solemnly: "At that time, Zhizhong will be waiting for you!"

Zhang Zhizhong did not stay in San Francisco for long. After the visit, he embarked on a journey back to China the next day with several large ships supported by Lu Bu and two sets of lathes prepared by Lu Bu for him.

At the port of San Francisco, Lu Bu looked at the direction of the ship from a distance until the ship disappeared from the end of his sight.

"Isn't it good here?" Lu Shuxian asked with some confusion. He also missed home, but not too much. He didn't know why his son had such strong homesickness.

"No matter how good a foreign country is, it is not as good as my homeland." Lu Bu said sadly: "If I have a choice, I still want to go back and do something for the country!"

"That's enough!" Lu Shuxian sighed. If there really was a war, he didn't want his son to go.

Lu Bu didn't answer. There were some things that his father didn't understand. He had seen the great power of the Han Dynasty and the coming of all nations. Now that China was in such a state, he couldn't accept it. He couldn't accept it from the beginning. If he had been born a few years earlier, he would have He would try to overthrow the Qing court, but it was a pity that he was too young at the time, and China lacked too many things that he couldn't find in China, so he had to come here to find them.

In 1928, the United States was singing and dancing, and everyone was enjoying the dividends of the war, including ordinary people. The financial market was also rising steadily. Hanting Company did not understand that Lu Bu began to gradually withdraw from the financial market, including Lu Shuxian. There were some complaints.

After all, the current financial situation is so good. By March 1929, all Hanting Company's assets in the stock market were fully liquidated. It was definitely profitable, but the stock market was still soaring, and it felt like it could still make some more.

In the next few months, Lu Bu began to clean up some credits and gradually gave away the credit in his hands, even if he lost some profits. At this time, everyone in the United States had blind confidence in the future, and Lu Bu was working in batches. It was sold twice, so it didn't cause much alarm. It was just a visit from Wall Street.

By the beginning of October, Hanting Company's assets had turned from virtual to real. In addition to San Francisco, Lu Bu had industrial bases in every major state.

But just when everyone was laughing at Huo Huo and complaining about Lu Bu's decision, on the 24th, the stock market collapsed without warning, and more than 500 billion in assets were wiped out overnight.

Although there have been economic crises in history, this one was the largest in terms of scale. Countless companies went bankrupt and closed down on this night.

"It's better for Feng to look far ahead!" Lu Shuxian was stunned by this scene. There was no warning at all. Yesterday, he was still thinking about what would have happened if he had not withdrawn the capital. Today, reality gave him a big mouth.

If Lu Bubu hadn't taken the initiative and turned from weak to real, I'm afraid Hanting Company would have shed its skin even if it didn't go bankrupt.

Now, Hanting Group, which holds a large amount of funds, has become the biggest beneficiary of this stock market crash.

This is an economic crisis that has spread to all capitalist countries. Although Lu Bu was sure of the general trend, it was not immune to the impact. The American government came to Lu Bu several times to talk. Unfortunately, the initiative is now in their hands. Before the Great Depression, They can take control of Hanting Group at their convenience, but now... Hanting Group supports hundreds of thousands of people and has countless related industries. If Hanting Group is touched now, it may make the current bad economic situation even more difficult.

Now we are asking for help from others, so we cannot easily resort to outside recruitment. Many local governments have even taken the initiative to invite Hanting Group to settle in to solve the increasing employment pressure.

Lu Bu was not polite. This was a deep bond. The economic crisis was a danger, but it was also a big opportunity. Many good assets suffered heavy losses in this collapse and were unsustainable. Lu Bu took advantage of this opportunity to sell these assets. Take it.

At the same time, now that he has this condition, Lu Bu can also intervene in some places that he could not intervene in originally.

For example, military industry, private armed forces, and banks.

Why is Wall Street so bullish?

Because they have a monopoly in many industries, and this time, Lu Bu has been preparing for so long just for this opportunity. He wants to use this Great Depression to break the monopoly of Wall Street and build a city centered on San Francisco. It can be a faction with the same behavior as Wall Street.

If these things are proposed all at once, the American government will definitely not agree, but Lu Bu is not prepared to complete them all at once. He will get his share through gradual penetration.

After this incident, Hanting Group will have the right to speak in the United States. Of course some people will be unhappy, but for many people now, solving the current practical problems is the key, and they can only watch Lu Bu stretch out his hand.

But during this period, Lu Bu was assassinated more than a dozen times. There were even private militiamen who tried to kill Lu Bu by force. Lu Bu killed many of them, and some of them escaped.

Lu Bu took advantage of the situation and asked Wan Zonghua to come back with the troops who had been trained in Mexico for two years. Hanting Security Company was transformed into a private armed force. At the same time, Lu Shuxian became the mayor of San Francisco, the first Chinese mayor in the United States. This was very important to Lu Bu. It has extremely far-reaching significance.

Naturally, Wall Street couldn't just watch Lu Bu sit here and fight back immediately after regaining his breath. The two sides fought an invisible war. This war lasted for four years. Lu Bu used the same method to After assassinating several important figures, Wall Street gave up its assassination plan against Lu Bu.

At this time, Hanting Group was already a behemoth, integrated with the United States, and became an inseparable part of the United States like other capital giants.

In 1933, the two sides made compromises with each other, and the economy gradually improved through government intervention at Lu Bu's suggestion. The market economy was no longer enough to solve this problem, and the government could only rely on the power of the government.

During this period, Lu Bu gained certain rights, such as the mayor of San Francisco and so on.

The Chinese mayor and the Chinese capital tycoons are undoubtedly a shameful scene for American capital, but they have no other choice. If they want to completely eliminate Lu Bu, the United States will have to change their blood. No capital is willing to do this. Bearing it in mind, I could only hold my nose and admit the existence of the other party.

But the secret contest has never been heard of. The competition for talents, the spy drama of instigating the opponent's core talents, etc. are performed every day, and Lu Bu also has a think tank to deal with these. As Hanting has come to this point, Lu Bu is based on The structure of the imperial court was established from the beginning to develop into a big force, ensuring that even if Lu Bu was gone, it would not be dismantled by the outside world.

At least when Hanting was in the hands of his father and son, the financial situation was already very stable. Now the only thing to worry about is legislative issues.

"Now that the situation has stabilized, Fengxian, have you considered passing on the family line?" Lu Shuxian looked at his son. Now San Francisco is the world of their father and son. No one from any country can speak as effectively as the words of the Lu family and his son. Under Lu Bu's guidance, White people's rejection of Chinese people is no longer as strong as it used to be.

"Get married." Lu Bu nodded, continuing the family line. Not only Lu Shuxian had this idea, Lu Bu also had this concept.

"There are a few people with good looks and family backgrounds. If you are willing, I will come to propose marriage!" Lu Shuxian confirmed.

"Anything is fine." Lu Bu nodded. He had fallen in love several times in the simulated world. As for this life, he didn't have a childhood sweetheart like Shan Xiaomei, and Lu Bu didn't want to spend all his energy to fall in love with someone. Lu Bu doesn't really approve of one thing, so let's just take the orders of his parents.

"Don't worry, the daughter that my father has found for you will definitely be a virtuous, virtuous, talented and beautiful girl, otherwise she won't be worthy of my son." Father Lu said with a smile.

In fact, it is not difficult to find Lu Bu. In America, not to mention the Chinese, many British and American ladies are interested in getting married to the Han Dynasty.

But in this regard, Lu Shuxian was very conservative and insisted that the first wife must be Han. Even if Lu Bu married Yang Ma, she could only be a concubine.

However, although there are many Chinese people, there is obviously no one who can be on an equal footing with the Lu family. The Lu family has built its foundation in a foreign country along the way. With the current status of the Chinese in the world, it would be difficult for anyone to replace them.

However, there were some wealthy Chinese families who had taken refuge overseas. After careful selection, Lu Shuxian selected a woman with a clean family background and excellent talent and beauty for Lu Bu. She was only eighteen years old, a few years younger than Lu Bu, but quite beautiful. The important thing is that he has an elegant temperament and is willing to marry Lu Bu, who can be called a Chinese hero in San Francisco.

Under the auspices of Lu Shuxian, the two got married in June 1934. Not only did celebrities from San Francisco come to Lu Bu's wedding, but this time even the president of Humboldt University in Berlin came to attend the wedding with several well-known professors.

The joy of Chinese weddings is quite different from that of Western weddings, which surprised many participants. In the following years, many Westerners followed suit, giving up Western weddings and holding Chinese weddings. Especially in San Francisco, Chinese weddings were used. There were more weddings, and Lu Bu also completed another major event in his life amidst the blessings...
