1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

After the old man left, Lu Chen and Lu Jiaming returned home together.

Father Lu came up to him and asked, "Jia Ming, you are back. Where is your commander? Why didn't he come back with you?"

Lu Jiaming smiled and said, "The commander has gone back."

Hearing that the commander had returned, Lu's father was stunned. He wanted the commander to stay at home for one night, and he also wanted to send the commander some things.

Ask the commander to take care of his son and prevent Lu Jiaming from going to dangerous places.

Mother Lu asked again, "What about you? You're not leaving today too, are you?"

Lu Jiaming smiled and said, "No, I won't. I will stay at home with you for a few days and then return to the army in three days."

After hearing Lu Jiaming's answer, Lu's mother was obviously relieved.

Then the family sat in the living room and chatted about family matters.

Lu Jiaming asked, "Mother, the last time I was home, you said you wanted to arrange a marriage for Xiaochen. Have you found a suitable family?"

When Lu Chen heard that his family was actually going to arrange a marriage for him, he immediately pricked up his ears to listen.

Mother Lu glanced at Lu Chen and said, "We have our eyes on a girl, the one from the Feng family."

Lu Chen was confused. Feng family, that Feng family. He had no memory of it.

Lu Jiaming frowned and said, "Are you talking about the girl from Feng Jingyao's family, Feng Chengcheng?"

Mother Lu nodded and said, "Yes, it's Cheng Cheng. I think that girl is good, well-educated and well-mannered."

Lu Chen felt that the name "Feng Chengcheng" was very familiar. He seemed to have heard it somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember where.

Lu Jiaming said: "Feng Jingyao is a gang leader. Marrying into his family will have a bad influence on us."

When Lu Chen heard "Feng Jingyao", he felt that the name was very familiar. Where the hell had I heard it before? Why couldn't I remember it? Lu Chen was a little upset. This was someone who was related to his life, so why couldn't he remember him?

Mother Lu continued, "That was in the past. Feng Jingyao is now a well-known figure in the Magic City. Even those small days have to give him some face."

Lu Chen couldn't help but ask, "Brother, who is this Feng Jingyao? According to you, he is very powerful."

Lu Jiaming said disdainfully: "He is just the leader of the Qing Gang in Shanghai and a member of the gang. It's nothing special."

Lu Chen heard the names "Green Gang" and "Dragon Head", and then thought of Feng Jingyao and Feng Chengcheng. He finally understood why he felt so familiar with the name of the Feng family.

Lu Chen cursed in his heart, damn, where on earth did I end up? Why did all the characters in The Bund show up? If I were to marry Feng Chengcheng, Brother Qiang would definitely bring Ding Li and his henchmen to kill me.

No, I can't marry Feng Chengcheng. Lu Chen said quickly, "Mom, my brother is right. I am an officer now. If our family marries a gang member, it will affect my brother's career. I can't marry Feng Chengcheng."

Mother Lu glanced at Lu Chen and said, "Don't worry, others don't think highly of you. This marriage has not been finalized."

When Lu Chen heard this, his heart finally settled down. I don't have the guts to compete with Brother Qiang for a woman. Lu Chen secretly felt lucky.

When Lu Jiaming heard that the Feng family looked down on his brother, he said with some displeasure:

"It seems that Feng Jingyao is looking for an opportunity to give the Qing Gang a beating."

After staying in the living room for a while, Lu Chen felt that it was boring, so he returned to his room. Now he had solved the financial difficulties in the factory.

Now, even if he doesn't open the factory every month, Lu Chen can still keep it going.

Now we have to solve the problem of raw materials and get the factory to produce again. Thinking of this, Lu Chen had a headache again. According to Lu's father, Xiao Rizi was still the main supplier of this factory. Lu Chen was always reluctant to buy Xiao Rizi's things.

Lu Chen thought about the fact that Xiaozi would invade China in a few years. He was even more unwilling to help the evil. If he bought Xiaozi's things, wouldn't that be helping Xiaozi make weapons to fight him?

"It seems I have to find another supplier of raw silk. I heard that the U.S. has a good industry at this time and is also an exporter of raw materials. It seems I have to go to the U.S. to see if I can find a new supplier there."

Lu Chen muttered to himself. Then Lu Chen thought of the Black Dragon Society again.

The Black Dragon Society is a martial arts hall for daily life, but in fact it is a gang organization and a spy organization. My own factory has been targeted by these people. Although there is a big brother protecting the factory now, these people have many tricks. Now just making trouble in those shops has almost bankrupted the factory.

Lu Chen had a headache, he still had to deal with the Black Dragon Society. But he was just a businessman now, how could he deal with these people.

Suddenly Lu Chen thought of the Green Gang, Brother Xu Wenqiang, and Ding Li. When he watched "Shanghai Beach" before, Brother Qiang was a staunch anti-Japanese activist.

"It seems that I still need to get in touch with Brother Qiang."

Lu Chen sighed.

The next day, Lu Chen took out 12.5 US dollars from his money box and went out early in the morning. He had to pay back the money he owed to the bank first. This would make it easier for him to find a bank next time.

Lu Chen found Manager Zhao at the bank. Zhao Dezhu saw Lu Chen coming in person and quickly stood up from his seat.

Invited Lu Chen to sit down in the office.

"Why did Boss Lu come to see Zhao in person? If there is anything, why not just let me know?"

Lu Chen took out the US dollars he had prepared and handed them to Zhao Dezhu:

"Manager Zhao, this is the money my factory owes the bank. I brought it to you."

When Zhao Dezhu saw that it was US dollars, he took the money with a smile and said:

"Boss Lu is so polite. He actually delivered the money personally."

Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "It was originally agreed to be two months, but now it's already been two and a half months before I send it to you. I feel a little embarrassed, so I brought the remaining money as well to pay you back."

Zhao Dezhu said quickly: "With the Lu family's reputation, it won't be a problem even if we delay it for another two months."

Lu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "I happen to have sufficient funds now, so I will pay it back first. By the way, I came here today because I actually have something I want to ask Manager Zhao for help with."

Zhao Dezhu said quickly: "I don't know what Boss Lu needs, but as long as I can find someone to help, I will definitely help."

Lu Chen said casually, "It's not a big deal. I just want to buy some grain recently, but I don't know any grain merchants. Manager Zhao, you have a lot of contacts in the bank, so I want you to introduce some grain merchants to me."

Zhao Dezhu said doubtfully, "With Mr. Lu's family background, he must know a lot of grain merchants. Why would he need my help? Mr. Lu, you are joking."

Lu Chen said helplessly: "Manager Zhao, you must be aware of my position in my family. I want to make some money on my own. I don't know many people, so I'm afraid you, Manager Zhao, are the only one who can help me with this matter."

Manager Zhao thought for a moment and said, "As for grain merchants, I do know some people. I'll find a time to organize a dinner party and introduce them to Boss Lu."

Lu Chen took out a hundred dollars from his pocket, handed it to Manager Zhao and said, "Thank you so much, Manager Zhao. This is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."

Manager Zhao quickly declined, "Boss Lu, it's just a small matter. You don't have to do this."

Lu Chen quickly said, "Manager Zhao, you are too polite. This is just a small token of my appreciation. Don't refuse it."

After Lu Chen stuffed the money into Zhao Dezhu's arms, he quickly said goodbye, "Manager Zhao, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Without waiting for Zhao Dezhu's reaction, Lu Chen left the manager's office.

After leaving the bank, Lu Chen went to another bank in Shanghai, Citibank. Lu Chen planned to open an account here, after all, he still had to go to the United States to find suppliers. It would be convenient to deposit money in Citibank when he arrived in the United States.

Opening an account is quick, you just need to deposit some money in the bank. After opening the account, Lu Chen prepared to rush home.

But what Lu Chen didn't notice was that he was being targeted as soon as he stepped out of Citibank.
