1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

After Lu Chen understood the production capacity of his own factory, he began to think about how to sell the arms and No. 1 pills (white flour will be called No. pills from now on).

Lu Chen stayed in the military camp for three months, during which he learned that there were more than 13 US-Philippines troops in the Philippines, including more than 3 US troops.

Lu Chen thought about it and felt that it would be best if the US-Philippines coalition could buy his weapons. This way he wouldn't have to pay the costs of transportation and tariffs.

Lu Chen estimated in his mind the possibility of the US-Philippines coalition buying his weapons. He felt that the US Army would definitely not use his weapons, and his main target was the Philippine Army. They might buy his weapons.

The next morning, Lu Chen got up early and drove to Green's villa in the Philippines.

When Lu Chen rushed to the villa, he saw Green doing morning exercises in his yard.

Green was very surprised to see Lu Chen coming. He quickly asked his butler to open the door for Lu Chen.

Green looked at Lu Chen today. Today, Lu Chen had taken off his military uniform and was wearing a white shirt and vest on the upper body, and a pair of straight trousers on the lower body. He didn't look like a soldier at all. This made Green feel a little uncomfortable.

"Lu Chen, although what you are wearing today is very nice, I still feel a little uncomfortable. I think you look better in a military uniform."

After hearing Green's words, Lu Chen's heart was filled with contempt. What's so good about your military uniform? Even though it's not green, the earthy brown color looks really ugly.

"Mr. Green, I'm here to discuss business with you today. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to ask me to come in military uniform."

Green was a little confused about what kind of business Lu Chen wanted to do with him. He remembered that Lu Chen opened a military factory in the Philippines.

He thought to himself, is he trying to find me to do arms business? He has been in the army for more than three months. He should know that the weapons procurement of the army here is centralized by the Ministry of National Defense.

He asked uncertainly: "Lu Chen, you are not here to discuss arms business with me this time, right?"

Lu Chen complimented him, "Mr. Green, you are amazing. You guessed my purpose right away. Indeed, one of the purposes of my visit this time is to discuss weapons and equipment with you, Mr. Green."

Green had someone serve Lu Chen a cup of coffee, and then asked casually, "Then I wonder what your other purpose for coming here is."

After Lu Chen took a sip of coffee, he gave Green a thumbs up and said:

"Mr. Green, your coffee tastes really good."

Green smiled and said, "Lu Chen, don't change the subject. We have such a good relationship, but you are still hiding things from me. As for the arms, you know it yourself. The US military will never use the weapons produced by your factory. You came to me probably because you want me to help you negotiate the arms business with the Philippine Legion. Am I right?"

Lu Chen's thoughts were easily pierced by Green. He smiled bitterly and said:

"Mr. Green, I really can't hide anything from you. This is exactly why I came here today. Since you have figured it out, Mr. Green, I won't keep you in suspense. Mr. Green, just tell me if you can help me."

Green put down the coffee in his hand and said, "Tell me, what are you going to do to impress me and let me help you."

Lu Chen said: "Mr. Green, you should know why I was targeted."

Green looked at Lu Chen in surprise and asked, "Are you going to give that thing to me?"

Lu Chen shook his head and said:

"I definitely can't give it to you, but I can give all the sales in the United States to you, Mr. Green."

Green thought for a moment and asked, "Is your medicine really as powerful as the rumors say?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Green. The efficacy of this medicine is definitely better than the rumors say. We have done enough experiments and have enough data. They all prove that the effect of this medicine is better than we expected."

Green lowered his head and said nothing. If this medicine is really as Lu Chen said, then the use of this medicine is too wide. No wonder it was targeted by the people of that family.

He was a little hesitant. If he agreed, the Douglas family would definitely offend that family. After all, if they controlled this medicine, they would control a money printing machine.

He looked at Lu Chen with a serious expression and said, "Tell me all this, aren't you afraid that I will do the same as that person and ask you to hand over the process and formula?"

Lu Chen joked, "Mr. Green, will you come and grab it? If even you, Mr. Green, want to grab it, then I can only offer it to you with both hands."

Green pointed at Lu Chen and said with a smile: "You should know that our family's development is in the military. If the benefits you offer cannot impress those old guys in the family, this deal will definitely not be successful."

Lu Chen said, "I had it in mind when I came here. I will sell you penicillin at $4 per vial. I don't care how much you sell it for. How about that?"

When Green heard the price Lu Chen offered, he was so frightened that he stood up. He shouted:

"Lu Chen, are you crazy? You're selling a bottle of medicine for four dollars. Who can afford this medicine?"

Lu Chen was a little surprised by Green's reaction. He thought to himself, this penicillin could be sold for 5 pounds during World War II. Now it only costs 4 dollars, which is cheap enough. He couldn't understand why Green had such a reaction.

Lu Chen explained, "Mr. Green, I'll tell you the truth. The cost of producing one tube of Panethil is two or three dollars. I'm selling it to you for four dollars, which is already very cheap. If I sell it to others, I definitely won't sell it for less than ten dollars. And I believe that even if I sell it at ten dollars, this medicine will still be in short supply."

Green asked in disbelief, "Is this penicillin really that good?"

Lu Chen said firmly: "I can tell you without exaggeration that this medicine is a life-saving medicine. Many terminal illnesses will no longer be terminal illnesses after taking this medicine."

After hearing what Lu Chen said, Green admitted that he was tempted. If this medicine is really a life-saving medicine, then it is worth it even if it offends the family that founded the country. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I agree to cooperate with you. Tell me, you gave up such a huge profit, what do you want our family to do for you."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Green, you made the wisest choice. In fact, the most important thing you have to do is to fight against that mysterious man. As long as you withstand the pressure from him, this penicillin will always be in our hands."

Green said, "I know this without you telling me. What I'm asking is how you want me to help you with your arms business."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "That depends on how much help you can give me, Mr. Green."

Green was very dissatisfied with Lu Chen's statement. What do you mean by "how much help can I give you?" Green thought for a moment and said:

"The Philippines is going to expand its military strength by a division recently. I can let that division use the weapons you produce. What do you think?"

Lu Chen calculated in his mind that during World War II, a US military division had a 1500-man division-affiliated battalion, three infantry regiments, each with 3200 people, an artillery battalion of 2600 people, a tank battalion of 600 people, a service regiment of 2600 people, a vanguard battalion of 750 people, and a maintenance battalion of 900 people.

Even if the Philippine troops were reduced in size, they would still have three infantry regiments. With this calculation, he could at least sell three infantry regiments of rifles, as well as a number of heavy machine guns. Lu Chen felt that Green must have made a big promise.

Lu Chen thought about it and said, "Thank you, Mr. Green."

After finishing the business, Lu Chen and Green chatted about family matters. It was not until after lunch that Lu Chen left Green's villa.

After Lu Chen left, Green also left the villa. He was going back to the United States to talk to other family members about the penicillin business.
