1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

Early the next morning, when Lu Chen was still eating breakfast in the office, Fu Mingzhuo came to the office.

"Boss, we have found a ship. It is a British cargo ship. They agree to transport our goods. The freight is only 2000 dollars."

Fu Mingzhuo said to Lu Chen with some excitement.

Lu Chen was also very excited when he heard that the ship had been found. He quickly said, "Thank you for your hard work. Let's go and arrange for someone to transport the goods to the dock and load them on the ship."

Fu Mingzhuo looked at Lu Chen hesitantly. He said worriedly, "Boss, the people from the Black Dragon Society have already targeted us. They will definitely not let us transport the goods to the dock so easily. I'm worried that someone will come to cause trouble on the way to the dock."

Lu Chen thought about it and it made sense. With Xiao Ri's mad dog behavior, he might really send people from the Black Dragon Society to cause trouble.

This batch of goods is the capital for my turnaround, I can’t let it ruin my life.

Lu Chen quickly picked up the phone book and found Captain He's number. He quickly picked up the phone and called Captain He.

The person who answered the phone was not the group leader himself, but a younger person.

"Hello, who are you?"

"Hello, I'm Lu Chen from Lu's Textile Factory. I'm looking for your Captain He."

The person on the other end of the line answered, “OK, please wait.”

After a while, a rough voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Brother Lu, why did you think of calling me? Is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

Lu Chen quickly said, "Brother He, I have something I would like to ask you for help with. I wonder if it is convenient for you."

Captain He laughed and said, "I knew that you would never come to my temple unless you had something to ask. Just tell me what's the matter. I promised Brigadier General Lu that I would take good care of you, the third son of the Lu family. As long as it is within my authority, I will definitely help you."

Lu Chen was a little surprised. He never dreamed that he had a connection with the military. He was a little happy, thinking that with this connection, he would not have to worry about selling the arms after exchanging them. Lu Chen said quickly:

"Brother He, this is what I mean. Today I have a batch of goods that I need to transport to the dock for loading. You know that I have had a lot of bad luck with the Black Dragon Society. I am a little worried that they will cause trouble on the way. So I would like to ask you to send some people to escort me. Don't worry, after the matter is completed, I will definitely send you some money for tea and water."

Captain He said in dissatisfaction: "Hey, Brother Lu, you are being too polite. It's just a small matter, why do you need to pay for tea? Aren't you looking down on your brother He?"

Lu Chen quickly apologized, "Brother He, I really didn't mean that. I just wanted you to come here to help me. You all work very hard, so I just wanted to treat you to some tea."

After listening to Lu Chen's words, the team leader said:

"In that case, I would like to thank you on behalf of my brothers. I will call the company near you right away. I will ask them to escort your goods to the dock."

Lu Chen hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you very much, Brother He. I will definitely visit you in person when I have time."

"It's just a small matter. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first. I'll call right away. You just wait at the factory."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Brother He."

After saying this, Captain He hung up the phone.

After the call, Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He no longer had to worry about the safety of the goods.

Lu Chen couldn't help but feel puzzled. The original owner had such an impressive background. He was the third child of the Lu family, and there was a brigade commander in his family. How could he commit suicide?

How could the original owner play such a good hand like this? Lu Chen couldn't figure it out.

Lu Chen thought as he walked towards the warehouse. Along the way, he looked around his factory and found that it was quite good.

The machines here were well maintained, and each one was cleaned. The factory was also very tidy, and he did not find any garbage along the way.

Not long after Lu Chen arrived at the warehouse, a man in military uniform came to the factory and, under the guidance of a worker, found Lu Chen in the warehouse.

When the visitor saw Lu Chen, he hurried over and said:

"Hello, Boss Lu. I'm Wu Kai. I've received an order from the team leader to escort a batch of your goods to the dock."

Lu Chen looked at Wu Kai and found that he was very strong. There was no flimsy step. Every step he took was very powerful. He gave people a very strong feeling. Lu Chen immediately stepped forward and shook hands with Wu Kai:

"Hello, Commander Wu. I am really sorry to trouble you. My goods are these 20,000 batches of cloth in the warehouse. I need to transport them to the dock and load them onto a British cargo ship."

Wu Kai nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange a car right away."

After saying that, Wu Kai turned to the guard behind him and said, "Go talk to Platoon Leader Wu and ask him to have the transport platoon drive a few of our vehicles over here. Then have everyone in the company come here to help load the vehicles."

After Wu Kai finished giving his instructions, Lu Chen quickly invited Wu Kai to his office. In the drawer of his desk, he found a pack of tea leaves that had been there for who knows how long. Lu Chen took out the tea leaves and brewed a cup of good tea, then personally handed it to Wu Kai.

Lu Chen lied to Wu Kai, "Commander Wu, please have some tea. This is the fine tea from my collection, the best Da Hong Pao. Please try it."

Seeing that Lu Chen actually made such good tea for him personally, he felt a little proud. He didn't expect Lu Chen to think so highly of him. He quickly said:

"I am just a rough man, there is no need for Mr. Lu to give me such good tea."

Lu Chen thought, I said this tea is Da Hong Pao because I know you are a company commander and don’t understand this. Actually, I don’t know what kind of tea this is.

Lu Chen brought Wu Kai to his office, not just to invite Wu Kai for tea. Lu Chen actually wanted to ask Wu Kai about the domestic arms market and what weapons were popular in the military.

After all, I didn't work in this field before, so I don't know anything about it. If the equipment I bought is not easy to sell, I will be stuck with it, then I will be in trouble.

Lu Chen said casually: "Captain Wu, I wonder what your company's equipment is like."

When Wu Kai heard Lu Chen asking about the equipment of his troops, he thought that Lu Chen was not confident about the combat effectiveness of his men.

He patted his chest and said, "Mr. Lu, don't worry. Although our company's equipment is much worse than those elite troops, it is definitely more than enough to deal with some gangsters."

Lu Chen didn't expect Wu Kai to misunderstand him. He felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't explain. He continued to ask, following Wu Kai's words:

"Captain Wu, I wonder what the difference is between the equipment of those elite troops you mentioned and your troops. Are there any differences in their guns?"

Wu Kai was a little surprised. He didn't understand why Lu Chen asked this. He thought about it and felt that Lu Chen might be curious about these things, so he smiled and explained:

"Mr. Lu, guns are definitely different from each other. Guns alone are classified into many categories. There are pistols, rifles, submachine guns, light machine guns, and heavy machine guns. Each type of gun has different uses.

Although each unit will be equipped with these guns, the number of these guns equipped by each unit is different depending on its strength.

Like those elite troops, they will be equipped with a lot of heavy machine guns and light machine guns, and their firepower is very fierce.

Moreover, all the guns used by these troops are imported. Whether in terms of service life or accuracy, they are not comparable to the Hanyang-made guns we use.”

"In addition to guns, there are also cannons. Our troops use small-caliber cannons. Those elite troops are equipped with large-caliber howitzers and large-caliber cannons. Their firepower is several levels higher than ours."

Lu Chen could tell from Wu Kai's words that he still admired imported guns and cannons, which instantly gave him some confidence. It seemed that imported goods were still very popular in this era. Lu Chen smiled and continued:

"Captain Wu, if someone wanted to sell you a batch of German arms, I wonder if your troops would buy them."

Wu Kai replied: "We must buy it. German weapons are very popular in China. The Hanyang rifle we use is a replica of the German Mauser rifle."

"After receiving the German weapons, our troops basically did not need any adaptation training and could use them directly. Our troops liked them very much."

After hearing this, Lu Chen finally felt relieved.

There is strength in numbers. With the joint efforts of workers and soldiers, more than 20,000 pieces of cloth were loaded onto the truck in more than two hours.

After loading the car, Lu Chen and Fu Mingzhuo followed the army's car to the dock.

Lu Chen saw a few sneaky people along the way, secretly observing the convoy on the roadside, but no one from the Black Dragon Society came to stop the convoy.

Lu Chen finally felt relieved. These people from the Black Dragon Society were indeed afraid of the army.

The convoy passed through the city of Magic City smoothly. After leaving the city, the convoy rushed to the dock at a faster speed.

After arriving at the dock, Fu Mingzhuo and his convoy stopped next to the cargo ship, and Wu Kai called on the soldiers to help Lu Chen load the goods onto the ship.

Lu Chen took Wu Kai aside, took out fifty dollars from his box and stuffed them into Wu Kai's hand.

"Commander Wu, this money is for me to treat my brothers to tea. Please don't refuse."

Wu Kai quickly refused: "I can't accept this."

Lu Chen continued, "Hey, Commander Wu, this isn't for you. This is for our brothers. Just accept it."

Under Lu Chen's insistence, Wu Kai reluctantly accepted the fifty dollars.

After all the goods were loaded onto the ship, Lu Chen said goodbye to Wu Kai and followed Fu Mingzhuo onto the ship.
