1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

A few days later, Lu Chen saw that his injuries were almost healed. He found a doctor and checked himself out. Before leaving the hospital, he went to see Qin Jian and other injured people. Seeing that they were all recovering well, Lu Chen left the hospital.

After leaving the hospital, Lu Chen did not go home first, but went to the factory first.

When he arrived at the factory and learned that Ibaka and his team were already trial-producing nylon, Lu Chen was very excited. He hurried to the trial production workshop and saw rolls of nylon yarn.

Lu Chen ran to Fu Mingzhuo and looked at the equipment being produced. He asked:

"Mingzhuo, how's the delivery going?"

Fu Mingzhuo was very surprised to see Lu Chen.

"Boss, aren't you in the hospital? Why are you here in the factory?"

"I'm well now and have been discharged from the hospital. Please tell me how the production is going first."

Fu Mingzhuo seriously suspected that Lu Chen had sneaked out of the hospital. It is said that it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, but Lu Chen had only been in the hospital for less than a month before he ran away.

Lu Chen was very surprised that he didn't hear Fu Mingzhuo's answer. He turned his eyes away from the equipment and saw Fu Mingzhuo looking at him with suspicion.

"What's that look in your eyes? Would I lie to you?"

As he spoke, Lu Chen took out the discharge certificate from his pocket and handed it to Fu Mingzhuo.

"Look, here's the discharge certificate. Stop standing there and tell me about the birth."

Fu Mingzhuo carefully read the discharge certificate and confirmed it was authentic before saying:

"The equipment has been running for a week. From my perspective, it's going pretty well. It can stably produce thousands of kilograms of nylon every day, and then it's produced into filaments according to your previous suggestions."

Lu Chen looked at the production equipment with disdain. What a piece of rubbish. It only produces this much a day. In this way, it can only produce less than 200 tons of nylon a year. Compared with the equipment in later generations that can produce tens of thousands of tons, hundreds of thousands of tons, and hundreds of thousands of tons a year, Lu Chen's equipment can only produce 200 tons a year. He said with some dissatisfaction:

“Why is the output so small?”

Ibaka, who was standing by, heard this and said quickly:

"Boss, this is not small. According to your request, we have designed the trial production equipment as large as possible. This is the largest equipment that our factory can produce at present."

Fu Mingzhuo also said:

"Lu Chen, this output is already quite high. Look, there is already so much nylon produced, but we can't find a use for it. It will just pile up after it's produced."

Lu Chen was stunned. What the hell is it that they can't find a use for it? Nylon has so many uses, how could they not find a use for it? Lu Chen said:

"Mingzhuo, why don't you go find a loom and weave all these nylon threads into cloth?"

Can this thing be used to weave cloth? Fu Mingzhuo carefully looked at the nylon thread produced. Then his eyes lit up. Such a thin thread. The cloth produced must feel better than silk. Lu Chen is indeed worthy of being a member of the Lu family. When he saw this thing, he thought of weaving cloth.

Fu Mingzhuo nodded quickly:

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to buy a loom right away."

Lu Chen thought for a moment and said to Fu Mingzhuo:

"Ming Zhuo, go call Brother Chen over. I have something to tell him."

Fu Mingzhuo nodded and went to the engineering department to call Chen Jianghe.

Lu Chen rolled up a roll of nylon, and his eyes began to sparkle. Hehe, stockings will be produced soon. Beautiful legs in stockings, I will have a feast for my eyes in the future. I am creating benefits for my male compatriots.

As soon as Chen Jianghe entered the workshop, he saw Lu Chen holding a roll of nylon and grinning obscenely. He walked over and patted Lu Chen.

"Xiao Chen, what are you thinking about? Looking at your expression, my mouth is about to drool."

Lu Chen was frightened by Chen Jianghe. He quickly wiped his saliva and angrily said to Chen Jianghe:

"Brother Chen, why are you walking without making any sound? Don't you know that scaring others can kill them?"

Chen Jianghe looked at Lu Chen with an unhappy expression.

"Tell me what you want me to do. I'm busy now. I don't have time to make trouble here."

Lu Chen told Chen Jianghe his thoughts on stockings, and then asked:

"Brother Chen, tell me if you can make a machine to produce this kind of fabric."

Chen Jianghe thought for a while and said:

"It's easy to make a machine to produce this kind of cloth. You just need to modify the textile machine. But are you sure that someone will buy this kind of cloth after it's produced?"

How come no one buys them? Stockings are not only liked by men, but most importantly, women like them too. As long as women like them, why would they worry about no one buying them? Lu Chen wrote in his book that when stockings first came out, women lined up to buy them. Lu Chen said affirmatively:

"I guarantee that someone will buy it."

Hearing Lu Chen's assurance, Chen Jianghe nodded and said:

"In that case, shouldn't you rebuild the Lu Textile Factory?"

Now that nylon has come out, it is definitely necessary to rebuild the textile factory. Lu Chen wants to use this nylon yarn to impact the traditional raw silk industry. Isn't Xiaorizi a big country in the raw silk industry? It's just right to do Xiaorizi.

"We will definitely rebuild it. I have already bought the land. You just need to find a time to build a factory next to it."

Hearing that Lu Chen had even bought the land for rebuilding the textile factory, Chen Jianghe's face was full of smiles. The Lu's textile factory is finally going to open again. Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu will definitely be very happy to know this, Chen Jianghe thought to himself.

After watching the production of nylon, Lu Chen called Ibaka over.

"Ibaka, how is the experiment going? Do we have enough manpower?"

"Boss, there are more than 30 people in the lab now, so we have enough manpower."

Lu Chen was shocked to hear that there were already more than 30 people in his lab. With so many people, would the small lab he built be enough? Lu Chen asked quickly:

"With so many people, are the labs equipped enough?"

Ibaka was worried about this recently. Originally, Lu Chen built a chemistry laboratory, but now there are not only people studying chemistry in the laboratory, but also people studying physics and biology. How can they all use the same laboratory? Lu Chen asked, so he told Lu Chen today.

"Boss, there are researchers in the lab who study physics, chemistry, and biology. This lab is definitely not enough."

After hearing this, Lu Chen quickly said:

"Still the same, ask Manager Fu to expand a few more experiments for you. Make a list of experimental equipment and hand it over to Manager Fu. By the way, you said that there is now someone studying biology in the laboratory. Who is that? Is he impressive?"

Ibaka responded:

"There are several international students and an old professor. I have talked to them several times and I feel they are very capable."

Lu Chen said quickly:

"Then call them over. I have something to ask them."

After hearing what Lu Chen said, Ibaka went to call a few people over. After a while, Lu Chen saw an old man and three Chinese people coming over.

Ibaka introduced them to several people:

"Mr. Qian En, this is Mr. Lu. He was the one who built this laboratory."

Qian En nodded and asked Lu Chen:

"Mr. Lu, I wonder what you want me to do?"

Lu Chen said quickly:

"Hello, Professor Qian. I wonder if you are good at cultivating bacteria. I have some experimental data on bacteria. Let me study it."

Qian En asked, "The experimental data is there, can I take a look?"

Lu Chen regretted not bringing the information about penicillin. He said quickly:

"The information is not here right now. I'll have someone go back and get it for you right away."

Qian En nodded and said:

"I need to read the information first before I can confirm whether I can do it."

Lu Chen nodded. After leaving the laboratory, Lu Chen came to Fu Mingzhuo's office. Lu Chen said:

"I just went to the lab and found that there were already more than 30 people there. Ibaka told me that the lab is a bit small now and they are planning to expand the experiments. Please make the arrangements."

Fu Ming nodded in agreement.

Lu Chen added:

"There are more than 30 researchers in the laboratory. Please show me their information."

Fu Mingzhuo took out a stack of information from the cabinet and gave it to Lu Chen to look at. While Lu Chen was looking at the information, he also introduced it to Lu Chen.

"There are more than 20 people in the laboratory now, of whom are relatively good international students. Some are researchers recommended by Mr. Jess."

Lu Chen flipped through the information in his hand and didn't see any familiar names. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He returned the information to Fu Mingzhuo and asked:

"By the way, what is the current production capacity of the factory? Can it meet the order from the police station? And how many of our new models have been produced? I plan to release our new models when I deliver the order to the police station."

Fu Mingzhuo replied slowly:

"The factory's current output is enough to meet the police department's orders. We can now assemble more than 200 motorcycles a month. I have asked the workshop to produce the parts for the new model. Once the orders are completed, the remaining time will be used to assemble three-wheelers."

Lu Chen was a little confused. Since his own factory workshops were producing parts for new models, where did the parts for the police cars come from? Lu Chen asked about his doubts.

"Well, with just the few workshops in our factory, can we produce parts for two types of cars at the same time?"

Fu Mingzhuo didn't expect Lu Chen to ask such a question, and said speechlessly:

"Boss, what are you thinking about? You know that we only have a few dozen machines in our workshops. How many parts can we produce in a day? We only produce a few key parts, and the rest are purchased from outside. Otherwise, it would take us half a year to complete the order of 300 vehicles from the police station."

Lu Chen was very surprised. He didn't expect Fu Mingzhuo to know the outsourcing business model now. He is a talented person with a flexible mind. But the production capacity is really touching. Only 200 vehicles can be produced in a month.

Lu Chen was also thinking about buying three-wheeled motorcycles back home. With such impressive production, it would probably take a long time to export them.

However, he could transform his elder brother's brigade into a "motorized" infantry brigade composed of tricycles. Then Lu Chen couldn't help but think of the scene when his elder brother's troops went to battle. A group of tricycles carrying people to the battlefield, why is that scene so funny?

Thinking of this, Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh. However, with a tricycle, the mobility of his brother's troops would definitely be greatly improved. It seems that he has to find time to return to China and discuss it with his brother. Let him support his younger brother's business.

"Boss, boss, what are you daydreaming about?"

Seeing Lu Chen grinning foolishly, Fu Mingzhuo couldn't help but shout out.

Lu Chen came back to his senses when he heard Fu Mingzhuo calling him. He said awkwardly:

"Sorry, I was distracted just now. Mingzhuo, I bought 100 hectares of land nearby. Do you think we can expand our factory? Otherwise, it would be a waste to leave the land empty. By expanding the factory, our production capacity can be greatly increased."

Fu Mingzhuo was very surprised to hear that Lu Chen had bought all the nearby land.

"Lu Chen, why did you buy such a large piece of land? Even if you expand the factory ten times, you won't need such a large piece of land.

Lu Chen felt that Fu Mingzhuo was a little surprised. Those large factories in later generations all covered hundreds of acres. Take Foxconn in later generations, for example, which covered tens of thousands of acres. His 100 hectares was only a few hundred acres. How big was that?

"Mingzhuo, you have to take a long-term view. We have to develop. The factory will definitely get bigger and bigger. I am making plans for our future. Otherwise, we may not be able to buy land in the future."

It was hard for Fu Mingzhuo to imagine how big a factory covering hundreds of acres would be. Fu Mingzhuo had never thought of making the factory so big.

Lu Chen continued:

"Mingzhuo, I've already bought the land, so stop thinking about it and let's talk about the factory expansion."

Fu Mingzhuo's thoughts were pulled back, and he said:

"In that case, why don't we build the factories together this time?"

Lu Chen looked at Fu Mingzhuo and asked him to continue.

"Boss, you see, since you are going to expand the factory and the laboratory, the nylon production workshop will probably have to be expanded in the future. Why not just separate them out? We can build a separate laboratory, and then a separate factory for the nylon production line."

"Ming Zhuo, you are really a worm in my stomach. You can see through all my thoughts."

Lu Chen couldn't help but speak after hearing what Fu Mingzhuo said.

"Is it hard to guess what you're thinking? It's all written on your face. There's no problem with expanding the factory. I'm just worried about the current economic situation. What if you lose money after expanding your business so much?"

Lu Chen said confidently: "Don't worry, we won't lose money. The government will not sit idly by and do nothing about the current situation. The economy will get better sooner or later. It's just a matter of time. Besides, the things we produce now are all good products. We won't have trouble selling them on the market."

After hearing what Lu Chen said, Fu Mingzhuo was no longer worried. He knew that Lu Chen was not short of money. Even if these factories were not profitable, Lu Chen could still support them for decades.

After the two of them reached a consensus, they began to plan the layout of several factories. Finally, Fu Mingzhuo listened to Lu Chen's suggestion and built an industrial park in this one-kilometer area.

When the two were discussing what kind of factories should be built in the industrial park, Lu Chen received a phone call and left the factory in a hurry.
