"That's right, considering that Florida has a warm climate, fertile soil, and abundant water, and is one of the best areas in the country for agriculture and animal husbandry, and I plan to buy a large area of land here to grow some interesting fruits, vegetables, and grains, and to feed equally interesting animals. Lu Li said his thoughts with a smile on his face.

In fact, just two days ago, he had already sent a large number of seeds brought back from another world, as well as a small amount of poultry and livestock, to the Alibi Biotechnology R&D Center, so that the researchers inside could carry out small-scale laboratory cultivation.

On the one hand, the resistance of these animals and plants to the earth's pests and diseases is tested, and on the other hand, the nutrients are tested to ensure that the stomach and intestines that can adapt to the earth can be digested and absorbed normally.

Of course, it takes a long time to systematically test such a large number of batches, and it also needs to be declared to the US Food and Drug Administration, which is quite troublesome, and it is estimated that it will not be able to really enter the market without three or five months to a year, but the purchase of land can be put into practical action.

After all, the United States implements private ownership of land, and if you want to buy a large piece of land, you have to go to big farmers and ranchers, and these guys are basically out-and-out "people", not ordinary and difficult.

Before Lu Li left for Venezuela, he had a brief contact with a farmer listed for sale outside Miami, who not only inflated the price, but even made a series of outrageous demands.

For example, the name of the farm cannot be changed, employees must not be fired, and the division of plots must be kept as they are, etc., which simply made him feel like a dog, and he didn't even bother to say a word of nonsense, so he turned around and left.

Jamie Dimon sensed John Chris Morgan's doubts and explained in a low voice, "John, Lu's understanding of wealth is different from ours.

He is a proponent of the real economy, believing that the virtual economy such as stock futures is like a bubble, although it looks big and beautiful on the surface, once it is punctured, nothing will be left, but land, factories, products and other things that can be seen and touched can be preserved.

Although I have tried many times to persuade him to abandon this old notion and join the operation of our financial capital, only in this way can we absorb more and faster wealth.

Unfortunately, he was more stubborn than I thought and insisted on building his own farming empire.

By the way, he has a lot of strange seeds in his hands, and at the same time some odd-looking domestic animals, which theoretically have a certain advantage. ”

"I see......" John Chris Morgan nodded in realization. "No problem, I can help you deal with the tough farmers and ranchers, and if that's not enough, get the government to sell off some of the public land, as long as the total value doesn't exceed $7 billion." However, this kind of operation takes time, from a month to three months to six months. ”

"It's okay, I've always had a lot of patience. Lu Li spread his hands and said that he didn't mind at all.

"Then we're done? I'll get the land, and then I'll use it to exchange you for a five-percent stake in Alibi Biotech. John Chris Morgan carefully repeated the conditions in order to prevent problems.

Lu Li replied without thinking: "It's decided! You exchanged the total value of $7 billion in land in Florida for a five-percent stake in Alibi Biotechnology. ”

Now let's hug you, you're the Morgan's closest friend from today onwards. With that, John Chris Morgan stood up and opened his arms.

"My honor!" Lu Li also stood up and hugged each other with open arms.

The two big men patted each other on the back to show their closeness, then parted ways and returned to their seats.

Jamie Dimon glanced at Lu Li, who understood and said with a smile: "John, since we are already close friends, can I make some requests?"

"Yes, please don't be polite, and don't hesitate to ask for anything. John Chris Morgan raised his arm and made a gesture of please.

"I'm sure you've heard that the board of directors of JPMorgan Chase Bank is constantly undermining Jamie's power, and I personally don't think it's a good sign, what do you think?" Lu Li said quietly tentatively.

John Chris Morgan turned around and glanced at the president of JPMorgan Chase Bank next to him, and the corners of his mouth curled up and asked, "So you're going to join this power struggle?"

"No, I don't have any interest in banking personally, I just think that if a bank wants to grow, it has to have a strong leader internally. Jamie has worked for JPMorgan Chase Bank for more than a decade, and his abilities and achievements speak for themselves, and I don't think it's wise to let the board of directors pull him back. With that, Lu Li picked up the cup and drank tea silently.

As an ally, he can already say that he can do this step to the fullest, and the rest depends on whether the prestige that Jamie Dimon has accumulated over the years is enough to impress Morgan.

John Chris Morgan stroked the beard on his chin, frowned and pondered for several minutes, and finally raised his head and asked, "Jamie, you won't let me down, let alone the Morgan family, will you?"

"Of course, I swear!" Jamie Dimon stood up and bowed slightly.

"I believe in you. When we get back to New York, we will have a board meeting, and it's time for JPMorgan Chase to make some changes......"

Before John Chris Morgan could finish speaking, a shrill phone rang in the living room, and he subconsciously glanced back, only to find that the landline on the desk was ringing.

"Sorry, I'll answer the phone. Lu Li smiled embarrassedly and pressed the speakerphone directly.

Jonathan's hurried voice came out instantly.

"Hey, boss, I'm sorry to inform you that the company just received a lawyer's letter and someone sued us. ”

"Defendant, what's going on?" Lu Li asked confusedly.

"Uh...... Actually, it's not a big deal, it's that the head of our HR department rejected several Indians in a row during the interview process half a month ago, and then these guys joined forces to sue us for racial discrimination. Bernard's attorneys have taken over, and in his judgment, the worst-case scenario would be a few hundred thousand dollars per person. Jonathan succinctly explained why.

"Damn! It's been this kind of bad thing lately. The HR director, let him call me and explain what the hell was going on with those Indians. ”

After saying this, Lu Li hung up the phone impatiently......
