1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

Seeing Lu Chen hung up the phone, Lu's mother quickly asked: "Xiao Chen, who are you calling?"

Lu Chen said, "I'm calling my eldest brother. He said he will be back today."

"The boss is coming back, Xiaochen, you didn't lie to me?" Lu's mother confirmed.

"I'm not lying to you. Big brother has already told me about it."

Lu Chen returned.

Mother Lu shouted excitedly upstairs: "Old man, Jianming is coming back today."

After a while, Father Lu came down from upstairs again.

"Old woman, what did you say? Jianming is coming back?"

Mother Lu nodded and said, "Yes, Xiaochen called Jianming and Jianming told him that he would be back today."

Father Lu said, "Didn't he say he was very busy preparing to go to Guangzhou to fight? How could he have time to come back?"

Lu Chen asked doubtfully, "Brother, are you going to Guangzhou to fight?"

Father Lu ignored Lu Chen's question and asked him, "Is what your mother said true? Is your eldest brother really coming back?"

Lu Chen said: "Why would I lie to you? He will definitely come back."

Hearing that Lu Chen had to answer affirmatively, Mother Lu quickly ordered the servants to start cleaning the house. Then she asked someone to go out to buy food. She also prepared to cook some of Lu Jiaming's favorite food herself to prepare for the return of Big Brother Lu Chen.

Looking at the busy family, Lu Chen couldn't help but feel sad for the original owner. Look at this treatment, when they heard that the eldest brother was coming back, the family started to get busy, as if it was the New Year.

When I came back, I was scolded. What a sin you have committed.

In the evening, Lu Jiaming brought someone back home.

As soon as he entered the villa, Lu Jiaming called out, "Xiaochen, where are you? I brought my commander back."

When Mother Lu heard the voice of her eldest son, she hurried out.

"Jia Ming, you're back, and you brought guests back with you."

Father Lu also came out. Seeing Lu Jiaming bringing someone back, he quickly greeted him:

"It turns out that Jiaming's superior is here. Please take a seat, please take a seat."

Lu Chen was the last one to come out. He walked down the stairs slowly, found a seat and sat down casually.

Seeing Lu Chen's expression, Father Lu couldn't help but lecture him, "Sit still, can't you see there are guests at home?"

Lu Chen curled his lips and ignored Father Lu. He looked at the old man sitting opposite him and said, "Are you my eldest brother's commander?"

The old man said, "I am Lu Jiaming's army commander. I heard from Jiaming that the young man has a batch of German equipment. I don't know if it's true."

Lu Chen nodded and said, "I do have a batch of German equipment. I'm sure you've heard the quantity from my eldest brother. I wonder how much money you're going to spend on this equipment, sir."

The old man thought for a moment and said, "For the rifle, I'll offer 70 silver dollars, and for the Maxim, I'll offer 1000 silver dollars. What do you think?"

Lu Chen sat up straight and said, "How much do you want?"

The old man smiled and said, "I'll take as many as you have."

Lu Chen said calmly, "Don't brag, old man. I didn't say that I only have this batch of equipment. Don't be too short of money when the time comes."

The old man smiled and said, "Little brother, don't brag. It's already a great achievement that you can get one batch in. Can you get a second batch? I don't believe it."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Old man, I really didn't lie to you. This is just the first batch I got. I have already established connections in Germany. If you need more, I can still get a few more batches."

The old man looked at Lu Chen with some surprise. Then he looked at Lu Jiaming with a questioning look. Lu Jiaming could only shake his head, indicating that he didn't know whether what Lu Chen said was true.

The old man turned around and said to Lu Chen, "Then let's talk about the batch in your hand. I want all your heavy machine guns, and I want the rifles too."

Lu Chen quickly began to calculate in his mind. He had brought back 450 Maxim heavy machine guns, which was 45 silver dollars. He also brought back 70 rifles, which was 98 silver dollars. The total was 143 million silver dollars.

Lu Chen was completely shocked after calculating. He couldn't help but sigh, damn, arms are still making huge profits. This time, he became a millionaire. This much money, I guess even his cheap father can't come up with it.

Lu Chen suppressed his excitement and said quickly, "Okay, a total of 1.43 million silver dollars. How do you plan to pay, old gentleman?"

I took a box from Lu Jiaming, opened it and pushed it to Lu Chen.

"Here's $70. I don't know if it's enough."

Lu Chen was excited when he saw so many US dollars. He knew that the ratio of US dollars to silver dollars was 1 to 2. Although it seemed that he gave silver dollars less, US dollars could be used in more places than silver dollars.

Lu Chen said quickly: "That's enough, that's enough. Then I will take you to see the equipment now, old man?"

The old man looked at Lu Chen's parents, waved his hand and said, "No hurry, it won't be too late to go after you have dinner."

Father Lu heard the old man and Lu Chen talking about some equipment. He pulled Lu Jiaming aside and asked, "Jiaming, what is your superior talking about with Lu Chen?"

Lu Jiaming also didn't want his father to know that Lu Chen was doing arms business. After all, smuggling arms was very risky. He didn't want his father to worry about Lu Chen, so he said:

"Xiao Chen got a batch of good equipment. Our troops need all of it, so the commander plans to buy it from Xiao Chen."

“It turns out to be equipment.”

Father Lu thought for a while and asked again: "Jia Ming, he is not going to sell our factory equipment to your army commander. No, I have to stop this little bastard."

Lu Jiaming quickly grabbed his father and explained, "It's not the factory's equipment, it's other equipment, which is for the army. The equipment in our textile factory can't be used by our army."

Only after hearing what Lu Jiaming said did Lu's father feel relieved.

Seeing that his father was relieved, Lu Jiaming quickly asked, "Dad, do you know where Lu Chen got this batch of equipment? And did he tell you where Lu Chen has been during this period?"

When Father Lu mentioned this, he became angry and said:

"This little bastard has grown up and made me very angry when he came back, so I didn't ask him."

Lu Jiaming said, "Father, I think you should not let Lu Chen take over the factory. He has been wild since he was a child. He is not suitable for managing a factory."

Father Lu said angrily: "If we don't let him take over, who else can we let take over?"

"I originally had three sons. You ran away to become a soldier, and now you are the brigade commander. You definitely can't take over. And the second son, I can't even find him now. How can I find him to come back and take over the factory?"

When Lu Jiaming heard what his father said, he also realized that only Lu Chen could take over the family factory, and he felt helpless.

Seeing the old man waving to him to come over, Lu Jiaming hurriedly said goodbye to Lu's father and walked over.

After Lu Chen finished talking with the old man and had dinner at home, he took Lu Jiaming and the old man out of the villa and rushed to the factory.

Lu Jiaming asked Lu Chen, "Xiao Chen, where have you been during this period? Why is there no news at all? My family asked me to help look for you."

Lu Chen explained: "Didn't the factory's sales be cut off during this period of time? I went abroad to solve this problem."

Lu Jiaming didn't expect that Lu Chen had gone abroad. He continued to ask, "Which country did you go to? How did you solve this problem?"

Lu Chen did not hide it and said directly: "Isn't there an international student who came back from Germany in my factory? I shipped our fabrics to Germany with him, and then I met a noble man in Germany, who exchanged all the goods for weapons. He also reached a cooperation with me."

After hearing this, Lu Jiaming and the old man also knew how Lu Chen got his weapons. But Lu Jiaming was more puzzled. Such a large batch of goods could not be exchanged for the fabrics he produced. He asked:

"Xiao Chen, I know how much cloth we have in our factory. We can't buy so many weapons with that."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "If I sell it normally, I definitely won't get so much, but the nobleman I met is not an ordinary person. In his eyes, these pieces of cloth are worth so many weapons."

Lu Jiaming quickly said: "Then can you also introduce this noble person to me..."

Lu Chen quickly said, "Brother, let's stop. You know the rules. I will never reveal my business partner to you."

After hearing what Lu Chen said, Lu Jiaming didn't ask any more questions.

The car arrived at the factory quickly. Lu Chen took Lu Jiaming and the old man into the factory and came to the warehouse.

As soon as he arrived at the warehouse, Lu Jiaming saw several people standing in front of the warehouse, and his eyes narrowed immediately. He quickly pulled Lu Chen and asked seriously: "Xiao Chen, who are these foreigners?"

Seeing Lu Jiaming's serious expression, Lu Chen immediately smiled and said, "Brother, relax, they are all my employees."

After saying that, Lu Chen walked towards the warehouse and called out, "Hey, Hans, Martin, Ike, Locke, why are you here?"

Hans said, "There are so many weapons in here. I'm worried something might go wrong, so I brought them here to watch."

Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I have found a buyer, and these things will be moved away soon."

Then Lu Chen pointed at Lu Jiaming and the old man and said, "These two are the buyers. I'll bring them to take a look at the goods."

Hans nodded to Lu Jiaming.

Lu Chen turned around and introduced to Lu Jiaming: "These are the employees I invited back from Germany, Hans, Martin, Ike, and Locke."

Lu Jiaming also nodded to Hans and the others as a greeting.

Lu Chen led Lu Jiaming into the warehouse, pointed at the neatly stacked boxes and said, "Brother, the weapons are all here. You just need to pay the money and you can take the weapons away."

Lu Jiaming walked to the boxes, picked one and opened it, and after confirming that it was indeed a Mauser rifle, he nodded towards the old man.

The old man handed the box of money to Lu Chen, and then said to Lu Jiaming: "Notify your troops to come here to move the things."

After Lu Jiaming replied "yes", he asked Lu Chen, "Where's your phone number?"

Lu Chen pointed to his office.

Lu Jiaming ran over quickly, and after a while he ran back and said to the old man: "I have arranged it, and the movers will be here soon."

Not long after, a three-wheeled motorcycle and two military vehicles arrived at the door of the warehouse.

Lu Chen took a look and saw that it was an old acquaintance, Wu Kai leading his troops again.

Wu Kai arrived at the warehouse and immediately ran up to Lu Jiaming and saluted.

Lu Jiaming said, "No need to say hello. Just move the things inside into the car and take them away."

Lu Chen quickly ran over and pointed at the bullets in the corner of the warehouse and said, "You don't have to move those things. Also, leave me 20 boxes of them."

Wu Kai looked at Lu Jiaming, and Lu Jiaming nodded to indicate that he would listen to Lu Chen.

This time Wu Kai brought more people, and it didn't take long for them to load the goods onto the truck and then leave the factory.

After finishing the work, Lu Jiaming was ready to leave with the old man.

Lu Chen quickly grabbed Lu Jiaming and said, "Brother, why don't you stay at home for a few more days?"

Seeing this, the old man said to Lu Jiaming, "Jiaming, you should stay at home for two more days to accompany your family, and then report to the army in three days."

Lu Jiaming saluted the old man.

The old man waved his hand and drove away alone.
