1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

Chapter 60: Sunset Company is established

Time flies, and it is already October. At this time, China has stopped large-scale wars. Lu Jiaming lived up to everyone's expectations and survived to the end.

At this time, he had been transferred back to the Magic City. He was assigned to the garrison of the Magic City, and his military rank was also promoted to a higher level. He was now a division commander. What made him regretful was that he was not transferred to a Class A division, nor did he return to his old unit. His superiors asked him to take over a Class B division.

In this war, he was very satisfied with the batch of tricycles that Lu Chen supported him.

Although these three-wheelers cannot carry cargo like trucks or are as convenient as motorcycles, they are much better than horses.

In addition, Lu Chen also modified these tricycles. Not only can these tricycles be able to pull artillery weighing hundreds of kilograms around, but they can also fix a heavy machine gun on the tricycle, directly turning the heavy machine gun into mobile firepower. The load capacity is also not bad.

There is only one disadvantage, this thing needs oil. Oil is too expensive, and it is not something that a Class B unit like him can afford.

After Lu Jiaming returned to the Magic City, he bought back the original villa of the Lu family. At this moment, he was standing in a room on the second floor of the villa, which was originally Lu Chen's room. Lu Jiaming lit a cigarette and looked out the window. He couldn't help but miss Lu Chen and his parents.

He said to himself, "I don't know how my brother and my parents are doing in the United States."

How Lu Chen was living at this time could only be described as miserable.

He received a notice from Green in mid-September, asking him to take Zhang Hui and others to follow Green to the Philippines. It was only after arriving in the Philippines that Lu Chen discovered that Green had screwed him over badly.

In Lu Chen's appointment letter, Lu Chen's position was the commander of the special forces company. Lu Chen originally thought that this was already a mature unit, but after Lu Chen arrived in the Philippines, he found out that this company was a newly formed company with only five people in total. The other party was right, there were only five people including Lu Chen. As for the soldiers, there was not a single one.

Lu Chen was very happy when he found out about this, because he could now prepare to build a new factory with a clear conscience. But things did not go as planned.

The day after Lu Chen arrived in the Philippines, Green sent him more than a hundred American soldiers and asked him to follow the special forces training that he and old man Arthur had discussed.

Lu Chen was so regretful. How could he understand the training of special forces? He just told the plot of the TV series he watched in a fit of anger. He didn't expect the old man to take it seriously.

There was no other way. After Lu Chen pondered for more than ten days, he and Zhang Hui came up with a prank training method.

First, these American soldiers were given a week of physical training, running 10 kilometers every day, but before the third day, these American soldiers who came to the Philippines to have a good time quit.

Today is the fourth day of Lu Chen's training, and Lu Chen did not find a single soldier in the camp.

This made Lu Chen very happy. He was finally free. He immediately ran to Green's office and said happily:

"Captain Green, those people you sent here are unwilling to accept my training. All those soldiers quit my company today. You see, it's not that I don't train. We don't even have one person left. My mission should be over."

Green looked at Lu Chen and said, "If this batch doesn't work, we'll switch to the next one. The old man said that he must train you to become the special forces you mentioned."

Lu Chen was in a state of despair. He yelled at Green:

"Mr. Green, that's not what you said at the beginning. You said that I only need to come here for one month every year and I don't have to stay in the army for the rest of the time. I tell you, there is still half a month left, and I will leave here when the time is up. I don't care about the special forces."

Green was also somewhat helpless. He didn't think highly of Lu Chen. Lu Chen was just a businessman. He asked a businessman to train the troops. Green shook his head, but this was what old man Arthur had told him to do. He could only say helplessly, "Lieutenant Lu Chen, I can't do anything about this. This is what the old man told me to do. Once you have this army ready, I will fulfill the conditions we agreed on last time."

Lu Chen was a little angry. He said, "Mr. Green, you are so kind. I agreed to come here because we had agreed on the conditions. Now you tell me that the conditions have changed. I have thought about it and I don't want any benefits. I want to leave here now."

After saying that, Lu Chen turned around and prepared to leave. Green said, "I'm telling you, Lu Chen, if you leave the barracks, I have the right to arrest you. You have to think it through."

Lu Chen said, "Don't threaten me. At most, I won't stay in the United States. I can come here with money. It's just a lieutenant general. Look how arrogant you are. If you want to train someone, do it yourself. I won't serve you anymore."

Green really didn't dare to do anything to Lu Chen, but the old man had told him to treat Lu Chen well. Green couldn't understand why the old man was attracted to Lu Chen. Green felt that Lu Chen was just a businessman, and he didn't know anything about the military. He didn't know why the old man insisted on letting Lu Chen be the company commander. Green felt that even Lu Chen's four subordinates were more suitable for Lu Chen to be the company commander than Lu Chen.

Seeing Lu Chen was about to leave, Green said quickly:

"Lu Chen, what do you want me to do in exchange for your willingness to train?"

Lu Chen didn't really want to leave, even though he had just boasted a lot. But he still didn't dare to confront Green. Green controlled the state machinery. Although the Philippine Army was defeated by Xiao Ri in the early stage of World War II, it was not the responsibility of these soldiers. As for who should take the blame, Lu Chen could only sigh that an incompetent general would exhaust the entire army.

Lu Chen did this to make Green fulfill his conditions in advance. Fu Mingzhuo and his team had already sent a message to Lu Chen that he and Li Qiang and others would follow Philip's cargo ship and would arrive in the Philippines during this period.

Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Green, it's not what I want to do, it's what you want to do. Give me a definite answer, what do you want me to do to build a factory?"

Green asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? We can't rush to build a factory. We have to take our time."

Lu Chen curled his lips and thought, I also know that Rome was not built in a day. The Great Wall was also built generation after generation. But Fu Mingzhuo and his friends are here, I can't let them come for tourism. Lu Chen was a little anxious, but he couldn't let Green see it, so he could only explain:

"Mr. Green, you also know that building a factory is a time-consuming project. That's why I have to determine the location of the factory first. If we wait until the troops are trained before doing these things, it will take a long time."

Green said: "Just tell me where you like and I'll give it to you."

Lu Chen thought in his mind that in his previous life, the Philippines fell during World War II. No matter which one he chose, the outcome would be similar, so he might as well choose one with convenient transportation. With an idea in mind, Lu Chen said:

"I want a place closer to the port, so it's convenient."

Green nodded and said, "In that case, I will allocate a piece of land to you near the Manila Port. You can just send someone to take it over. Is that all right?"

Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Mr. Green, let's do this. You transfer all the Chinese soldiers in your American army to my company. I will definitely be able to train the troops."

Green said, “You mean what you say.”

Lu Chen said seriously: "Do as you say."

Green nodded and said, "Okay, give me a week, and I will definitely transfer all the Chinese people in the army to you."

During this week, Lu Chen took his men to take over the land that Green allocated to him.

A week later, Green brought more than 200 Chinese people to Lu Chen's company.

Lu Chen was somewhat speechless. He only had one company, why did you bring so many people to me? Lu Chen took Green aside and said:

"Mr. Green, why did you bring so many people to my place? I only have one company."

Green smiled and said, "Giving you more people means you have more choices."

Lu Chen said with some dissatisfaction: "I can't possibly take all of these. Also, I will implement an elimination system. There won't be so many people in my company."

"It's up to you. I've handed these people over to you. It's up to you to decide how to arrange them."

After saying this, Green left Lu Chen's company's base.

After Green left, Lu Chen asked Zhang Hui and others to bring these people into the camp. Lu Chen looked at the 200 people and felt a little annoyed. He didn't need so many people. He still had to screen them.

Lu Chen looked at these Chinese soldiers and said, "I want to ask you a question, why did you join the army?"

The Chinese people on the ground looked at each other in bewilderment. They had no idea what Lu Chen was going to say. They could only stare at Lu Chen silently.

Lu Chen knew that during this period, it was not easy for ordinary Chinese people to make it in the United States, and even soldiers serving in the United States did not do very well.

Lu Chen continued, "Just speak when I tell you to. There's no need to be silent."

This is what someone said: "To serve the motherland."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "What are you talking about? Serving the motherland, is your motherland the United States? Your motherland is China. If you want to serve the motherland, you should go to China to join the army, not come here to serve as a soldier."

Lu Chen continued to look at the others and asked, "What about you? Do you have any other reasons?"

At this time, another person said: "The American military has good food and good treatment."

Lu Chen nodded and said, "I believe this reason. People live to have enough food and clothes."

Lu Chen asked the man to sit down and then continued to ask, "Anything else?"

Seeing that the two people in front did not receive any punishment, the soldiers below began to become active.

There are many answers. Some say it is to stand out from the crowd.

Some people also say that it is to obtain American citizenship.

After listening for a while, Lu Chen thought the same thing. Although these people had various reasons for joining the army, it was all for profit.

Finally, someone asked Lu Chen why he joined the US military.

Lu Chen did not hide it. He said: "I never thought about joining the US military. I was forced into the US military."

Everyone expressed disbelief.

Lu Chen said, "Don't disbelieve me. I'm telling you, I'm a wealthy man in the United States. I own a factory and am a shareholder of a bank. I drive to and from get off work every day. I have a beautiful lady to accompany me. I live such a leisurely life. Who the hell would want to come to this hellhole and suffer?"

Hearing that Lu Chen was a wealthy man, the soldiers all showed envious expressions.

Lu Chen looked at the soldiers and said, "I know you all envy me, so don't look at me with such envy and jealousy. In fact, you can also become rich. You can also have your own house, luxury cars and beautiful women. Do you want it?"

The soldiers nodded quickly.

Lu Chen continued, "If you want, you have to listen to me. If you listen to me, I promise that you will all become millionaires in the future."

Someone asked, “Are you serious about what you said?”

Lu Chen said: "As long as you follow me, I will definitely make you a millionaire."

The man replied: "Okay, as long as you can make me a millionaire, I, Ma Tianxing, will follow you."

Lu Chen said to everyone, "Ma Tianxing, right? Follow me, I will definitely not let you down. There is already someone. Is there anyone willing?"

As long as there is a leader, a group of people will follow Ma Tianxing to join Lu Chen's company. After Ma Tianxing and his group stood up, soldiers began to stand up one after another to join Lu Chen's company.

Lu Chen finally counted and found that there were about 60 to 70 people who chose to join his company.

Lu Chen handed the remaining people back to Green and asked him to take back those who were unwilling to join.

On the first day, Lu Chen took the soldiers to a good meal and let them have a good rest for the day. Early the next morning, Lu Chen began to gather the team before dawn.

Lu Chen said: "Today our Sunset Company is established. Since you have chosen to join my company, you must listen to my arrangements. Your training today is replacement training, and this training will be led by Platoon Leader Qi Jiang."

The Chinese soldiers were much more patient than the Americans. They survived a week of training.

Fu Mingzhuo and his team also came to the Philippines this week, along with Qin Jian's team. When Lu Chen heard that Qin Jian and his team had arrived in the Philippines, his mood immediately improved. He approved a day off for Zhang Hui, asking him to pick up Fu Mingzhuo and his team and bring them to the camp.

Zhang Hui returned to the camp with Fu Mingzhuo and his companions in the afternoon. When Lu Chen saw Fu Mingzhuo and his companions, he hurried forward to greet them:

"Ming Zhuo, you guys are finally here. And Qin Jian, you're here too."

Fu Mingzhuo asked: "Boss, the production line has been delivered, but where is our factory? Why can't I see it?"

Lu Chen explained: "I got the land when I came here, and the factory is still waiting for you to build it."

Fu Mingzhuo was extremely speechless. Without a factory, where would all the production equipment be placed? He said angrily:

"Lu Chen, the production equipment has been delivered, and you told me there is no factory. Are you kidding me? Where would the equipment be placed without a factory?"

Lu Chen quickly comforted him, "Mingzhuo, don't worry, we will go find Green right away. He has to solve all these problems for me."

Then Lu Chen said to Qin Jian: "You drive, I'll tell you how to get there."

After saying that, Lu Chen took Fu Mingzhuo to Green's residence.
