1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

Chapter 26: Escaped 1 calamity

Today, the Black Dragon Society in Shanghai became famous again. Their own president was assassinated in front of the door of their own club.

Although the Black Dragon Society immediately blocked the nearby entrances and exits and notified the Magic City Police Department, Xiao Rizi's prestige in the Magic City was completely gone.

In the past, the Black Dragon Society was backed by the country. They were arrogant and domineering in Shanghai. No one dared to mess with them. But this year, they did it twice. Once, the Black Dragon Society Hall was blown up, but no one was caught.

Then some people in the Magic City began to resist the Black Dragon Society. In the following days, some gangs even fought directly with the Black Dragon Society. But that is a story for later.

At this time, Lu Chen and Ike were driving to the dock. Lu Chen saw that a checkpoint had been set up at the entrance of the dock and people entering the dock were being checked.

"Wow, the police in Shanghai acted quickly this time. It's been less than an hour and the checkpoints are already set up."

Lu Chen said as he looked at the checkpoint in surprise.

Ike's car stopped at the checkpoint, and several military policemen walked towards the car with ferocious looks. After seeing that Ike was a foreigner, they immediately changed their expressions to please him.

"Please show us your ID."

Lu Chen and Ike both handed over their IDs.

The military police looked at the two people's IDs and immediately returned them. They didn't even check their cars again, and shouted to the checkpoint behind them.

"Let him go. Let him go."

After Lu Chen and his team's car entered the dock, a police officer nearby asked:

"Boss, their car hasn't been inspected yet, and you just let them go like that."

The police officer who was called the leader turned around and kicked the police officer who was questioning him.

"Damn it, you are harming me. The people above are German and American. If they tell the higher-ups that we are deliberately making trouble, we will all be in trouble."

Lu Chen and Ike entered the dock smoothly. After driving the car to the warehouse rented by William at the dock and parking it, they walked towards the cruise ship leisurely.

Seeing Lu Chen arrive on the cruise ship safe and sound, Fu Mingzhuo breathed a sigh of relief. Damn, Lu Chen is really a worry. I wonder what he is doing now, why did he take so long to reunite with me.

Not long after, the cruise ship slowly sailed out of the dock and headed towards New York.

After a month of sailing on the sea, the cruise ship finally arrived in New York.

Lu Chen led a group of people down from the cruise ship and called Hans at the telephone booth on the pier.

"Hans, Ike and I are now at the New York dock. There are more than ten people following me back this time. Drive two cars over to pick us up."

"Okay, boss. Please wait at the dock. We will be there in half an hour."

Half an hour later, Hans and Locke drove a small truck to the dock, picked up Lu Chen and his group of more than ten people, and took them back to the manor.

As soon as Lu Chen entered the villa, Chen Jianghe found Lu Chen.

"Lu Chen, why did you come back just now? If you don't come back soon, I will send you a telegram."

Then Chen Jianghe saw Fu Mingzhuo behind Lu Chen. He ran over in surprise and gave Fu Mingzhuo a hug.

"Ming Zhuo, Lu Chen brought you here too. That's great. We haven't seen each other for a few years."

Lu Chen looked at the two people. Do they know each other? Should I ask? Or forget it. What if I knew about their acquaintance? Oh, the original owner's memory is too complicated and messy. I should find some time to sort it out. Otherwise, it will be exposed sooner or later.

Fu Mingzhuo saw that Chen Jianghe was feeling a little disappointed.

"Alas, Jianghu, the Lu's Textile Factory is gone. I failed to save the factory. I broke my promise."

Chen Jianghe glanced at Lu Chen and said:

"This is none of your business. Lu Chen said that he plans to rebuild the Lu Textile Factory in the United States. As long as we rebuild the textile factory here, we will not let down Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu's cultivation."

After hearing what Chen Jianghe said, Fu Mingzhuo's eyes lit up. He looked at Lu Chen and asked:

"Brother Jiang He is telling the truth. You really want to rebuild the Lu Textile Factory."

Lu Chen nodded and said:

"I want to build a textile factory. I'm just curious. I haven't seen you show any interest in rebuilding a textile factory in China."

Fu Mingzhuo looked at Lu Chen with disdain.

"In China, how can I rely on you? I have saved 1000 yuan. I plan to rebuild a textile factory myself when I have saved enough money."

Damn, why are they so concerned about the textile factory? Lu Chen was puzzled. But he didn't ask. Anyway, as long as these two people can help him, it's fine. Asking too much will be bad for him. He looked at Chen Jianghe and asked:

"Brother Chen, did you have something to tell me just now?"

Chen Jianghe reacted quickly. He patted his head and said to Lu Chen:

"I almost forgot what I was talking about. After you returned to China, I don't know what happened, but all the Chinese employees in our factory suddenly resigned. Now there are only more than 20 employees left in the factory, and we can't even carry out normal production."

Lu Chen frowned and asked:

"Have you checked why they resigned?"

Chen Jianghe touched his head and said:

"I haven't yet. I've been designing the cars you drew for me in the lab. I only discovered the problem recently after I finished the designs and prepared for trial production."

Lu Chen was speechless. He was indeed a science and engineering guy who was busy with research. Lu Chen was a little confused. Wasn't Chen Jianghe in the factory every day? Didn't he notice him when he went to school and came back to the factory every day? Wasn't he in the factory?

"Brother Chen, have you not been in the factory during this period?"

Chen Jianghe touched his head and said embarrassedly: "I was in the factory, but I didn't go to the workshop. The management of that workshop didn't report this to me."

Lu Chen was a little angry. So many people resigned from the workshop, but you, the workshop supervisor, didn't even report it to the factory.

"Where's that workshop supervisor? Fire him."

Chen Jianghe said uncertainly:

"It seems he's gone, too."

Lu Chen was stunned. This was not normal. Lu Chen paid the workshop supervisors a high salary. He paid them 40 to 50 dollars a month. A Chinese could get such a high salary during the Great Depression. No one would resign for no reason.

Lu Chen decided to first find out the circumstances of these people's resignation.

Lu Chenjun was asked to rest at home for a day. Tomorrow he would go to the factory to get the home address information that the employees had filled out when they joined the company. Then he would go to the employees to find out the situation.

"Brother Chen, we just got back today. Let's take a day off first. I'll take Fu Mingzhuo to solve the problem tomorrow."

"What? Lu Chen is back, and he brought more than ten people with him?"

Yamanaka Nikai said excitedly at the martial arts hall as he looked at Yamashita Nozomi who came to report to him.

"Yes, Yamanaka-kun, the people we arranged near Lu Chen's home saw Lu Chen coming back in a car today."

“Yamashita-kun, go and arrange for someone to ambush Lu Chen on his way to the factory. We must kill Lu Chen this time.”

"Yamano-kun, how can you be sure that Lu Chen will go to the factory?"

Yamanaka Erbi smiled and explained:

"During this period, Sun Yuanlin sent his men to Lu Chen's factory and threatened all the Chinese employees there. As a result, all the employees resigned en masse.

Such a big thing happened, and Lu Chen didn't know it was Sun Yuanlin's doing. He will definitely go to the factory to find out the reason. I just don't know when he will go. Tell the person who is following him to keep an eye on Lu Chen's movements. As soon as Lu Chen goes out, report immediately."

"I'll arrange it right away."

After saying this, the people at the foot of the mountain went down to arrange people to prepare to assassinate Lu Chen.

The next day, Lu Chen, Fu Mingzhuo, Qin Jian and others got into Hans' car and headed to the factory.

As soon as Lu Chen and his companions left the house, they were immediately spotted by the Black Dragon Society’s stalkers. The stalkers passed the news to Shan Zhong Er Bi as quickly as possible.

The second guard in the mountain immediately notified the people at the foot of the mountain. The people at the foot of the mountain brought more than a dozen people and waited for Lu Chen and his group to arrive on the road that Lu Chen and his group had to pass.

Lu Chen's convoy was intercepted by Adams halfway through the journey.

After intercepting Lu Chen, Adams immediately ran to Lu Chen and said:

"Lu Chen, where have you been all this time? I can't find you."

Lu Chen was very surprised to see that it was Adams who blocked his way. He wondered what serious incident had occurred that would cause him to drive his car to stop him.

"Adams, what's the hurry?"

"Lu, the UK is planning to sell the mining rights of a number of oil fields. After receiving the news, the government immediately invited a group of people from the consortium and oil companies to attend the auction. You have also been invited by the government.

Since I couldn't contact you for a while, and you wanted to enter the oil industry, I took the initiative to help you agree. Now the government is about to take people to leave. Fortunately, you are back, otherwise I don't know how to explain it to the higher-ups. You can follow me now, Minister Jess and others are waiting for you. "

Lu Chen was depressed. It seemed that he could not go to the factory today. The same thing happened to Adams. If he couldn't find him, he could ask Chen Jianghe. Even if he didn't ask Chen Jianghe, he could ask Hans and the others.

Lu Chen said to Hans, "Hans, change the itinerary. Adams and I will go to the City Hall. You all follow us in your cars."

"Okay, boss."

After giving the instructions, Lu Chen got into Adams' car.

When they arrived at the City Hall, Adams took Lu Chen to Jace's office.

"Minister Jace, we are here."

When Jace saw that it was Adams and Lu Chen who came, he warmly invited them to sit down.

"Thank you both for supporting our work. I thought you couldn't come, Mr. Lu."

Lu Chen quickly thought of an excuse:

"Minister Jess, I'm so sorry, I've been so busy lately that I forgot about this."

"I don't know what Mr. Lu has been busy with recently. He even forgot such an important thing."

Lu Chen was quickly thinking of his words in his mind.

"It's not a big deal, just some problems at a factory I run."

"Oh, Mr. Lu, are you still running a factory in New York? I wonder what went wrong. Do you need my help?"

Jace said politely.

Jess actually said he wanted to help. Lu Chen was delighted and said quickly:

"Mr. Jess, it's like this. My factory needs to recruit a group of workers, but the citizens of New York don't seem to be willing to work for me. I haven't recruited many people yet."

When Jess heard this, he was surprised that there was such a thing. The government was currently worried about the large number of unemployed workers. And Lu Chen actually said that his company couldn't recruit anyone. Could it be that Lu Chen was actively trying to please him? After all, every official in the government has received a task to solve the employment problems of a certain number of workers.

He asked tentatively:

"Mr. Lu, I don't know what your factory does and how many people you need to recruit."

Lu Chen replied:

"My company manufactures motorcycles and we need to recruit more than 80 workers. If we have technicians, we would also like to recruit more than a dozen of them."

Hearing that Lu Chen needed hundreds of people, Jess was very happy. His target was to solve the employment problems of 1000 people. He had visited many companies recently and only managed to find jobs for or people. Lu Chen found jobs for him for people in one go. He said to Lu Chen enthusiastically:

"Mr. Lu, leave this matter to me. I promise to solve it for you. I will send workers to your factory in two days. Tell me the address, and your factory staff will be responsible for receiving them."

Lu Chen said happily: "Thank you so much, Mr. Jess."

After that, Lu Chen wrote down the address of his company and handed it to Jess.

"Mr. Lu Chen, now that your company's problems have been resolved, let's talk about the auction of the oil field."

Lu Chen nodded.

"Please speak, Mr. Jess."

"It's like this. Hasn't the government always encouraged our country's oil companies to expand overseas? This time, the government plans to let you rich people bid for the oil fields, and then let our country's oil companies to exploit them. Of course, the government will not participate in the distribution of the share ratios between you. You can negotiate with the oil companies yourselves."

Lu Chen nodded

"This is great, otherwise we would have no way to exploit the oil fields even if we took them."

Jess continued, "Since you agree to this proposal, Mr. Lu, please get ready to go. We have prepared a plane for you. It will take off for London at 12 noon tomorrow."

Lu Chen stood up, said goodbye to Jess, and returned to the convoy. He then told Hans to take everyone home.

Fu Mingzhuo asked:

"Lu Chen, I think it's still early, let's go to the factory. I heard from Chen Jianghe that the factory will organize production soon. If the workers' problem is not solved, there will be no production."

"Go, no, these people don't want to make money, why should we care about them? The workers' issue has been resolved. You go to the factory with Chen Jianghe tomorrow to get familiar with it, and then someone will send the workers to the factory in two days. You can just accept them when the time comes."

Fu Mingzhuo was very surprised. He didn't expect Lu Chen to go to the city hall and solve the problem. Now that they have workers, they naturally don't need to care about the workers who resigned.

Shanxiayezhong waited at the ambush site for more than an hour, but did not see Lu Chen's convoy. Shanxiayezhong was a little angry. He asked someone to contact Shanzhong Erbi. Shanzhong Erbi had received a report from the stalker, saying that Lu Chen and his group had returned to the villa.

The two guards in the mountain could only sigh at Lu Chen's good luck. They could only order people to inform the people at the foot of the mountain to withdraw the ambush.
