1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

Lu Chen asked Hans to book a boat ticket for him that day. In the afternoon, Lu Chen took Hans on the boat and embarked on the journey back home.

After a few days, Lu Chen and his friends returned to the Magic City.

As soon as he got off the boat, Lu Chen went to his company.

Lu Chen arrived at the entrance of the company and looked at the magnificent building with a strong European style. He wondered if he had come to the wrong place.

Lu Chen looked at the gate and saw the sign of William Trading Company hanging on the left side of the gate. Lu Chen was a little confused. He remembered that the company was not like this when he left last time. How come the company has changed so much in just half a year?

With doubts, Lu Chen walked into the company. Before he had time to observe the decoration inside, a beautiful female employee walked over.

The female employee asked Lu Chen politely:

"Sir, what do you want to do at William Trading Company?"

Lu Chen took a look at the employee who came to greet him and found that he didn't know her. He couldn't help but wonder when William found such a beautiful receptionist.

He smiled and said to the receptionist, "Hello, I want to talk to William, or Lu Yunting."

"Excuse me sir, do you have an appointment?"

The female employee asked politely.

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "I just returned to the Magic City and haven't had time to make an appointment yet. Please go and tell them that Lu Chen is back."

The employees looked at Lu Chen with suspicion. William and Lu Yunting were now very famous figures in the Magic City. Every day, people came to see them for various reasons, which annoyed them.

The two men at the back simply made a rule that anyone who came to see them had to make an appointment in advance, and they would not see anyone without an appointment.

The female receptionist said to Lu Chen apologetically, "I'm sorry, sir. Manager Lu and Boss William have said that they will not see anyone without an appointment. Please forgive me, sir. If you want to buy any equipment or anything else, I can take you to see our company's salesperson."

They had to make an appointment to see them, and those without an appointment were not allowed to see them. What the hell were the second brother and William doing? Lu Chen was very depressed. He ignored the employee and looked around the company to see if he could find an employee he knew.

After looking around for a while, Lu Chen found that all the employees here were new, and he didn't know any of them. This made Lu Chen very depressed. Fortunately, Hans came in with his luggage at this time. When the female receptionist saw Hans coming in, she immediately left Lu Chen and ran to greet Hans.

Hans said to the female receptionist:

"I'm here to see William."

Hearing that the foreigner was looking for the boss, the female receptionist did not delay and immediately ran to the second floor to inform William.

Lu Chen was stunned by this scene. Didn't you say you wouldn't meet anyone without an appointment? Why did you go directly to William when Hans came to see your boss?

After a while, William came down from upstairs. He saw Hans at first sight, and then he saw Lu Chen standing next to him.

William walked quickly to Lu Chen and said with a smile: "Boss, at least tell me when you come back so I can pick you up."

Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "I also decided to come back at the last minute this time. William, you have done a good job in running the company. You have also renovated the company. The company's business has been good in the past six months, right?"

William smiled and said, "Isn't this all thanks to you, boss? Come upstairs quickly, let's talk in the office."

The receptionist next to him turned pale when she heard William call Lu Chen boss.

Lu Chen looked at the receptionist and said with a smile: "Don't worry, pretty girl, you're doing great."

After saying that, Lu Chen followed William upstairs.

Under William's guidance, Lu Chen and Hans came to the manager's office on the second floor. When they arrived at the office, William took out an account book and handed it to Lu Chen.

"Boss, the company's sales records for the past six months are all here, take a look."

Lu Chen took the account book, took a quick look at it, and handed it back to William. He didn't come back to check the accounts this time. He smiled and said:

"William, your business has been doing very well in the past six months. I just checked and the rifle company alone has sold nearly 100,000 rifles."

William said with a wry smile: "Boss, our business has been good in the past six months, but after selling these 100,000 rifles, our arms business is almost done."

After hearing William's words, Lu Chen asked in confusion: "William, what do you mean by this?"

William explained:

"Boss, these more than 100,000 rifles may be the last batch of weapons provided to us by the old commander. He may not provide me with weapons anymore in the future."

Lu Chen became even more confused after hearing this. He asked in confusion:

"We were cooperating well, so why are you suddenly not providing us with weapons?"

William smiled bitterly and said, "I heard a piece of news from the German embassy that a very powerful guy has recently appeared in Germany. He has introduced many policies and strengthened weapons management. If Germany wants to sell weapons in the future, it will probably have to be handled by the government."

Lu Chen was very surprised. Could this be the work of Little Moustache? He remembered that Little Moustache had proposed the policy of exchanging weapons for bread, but it should not be proposed at this time. Could it be that he was already preparing for this plan in the future?

Lu Chen asked: "Since the company can no longer sell weapons, why did you renovate this place? I almost thought I was in the wrong place."

William said proudly: "Boss, you don't understand this, I just decorated this place so beautifully because I can't do arms business anymore. This way we can show that we are powerful and attract customers to buy equipment from us."

"So how is your business after you made this change?"

Lu Chen asked curiously.

"Business is much better. Many customers say our company's renovations are very beautiful after seeing them."

Since it was helpful to the business, Lu Chen did not discuss the matter any further. He wanted to know about the current situation in China, so he asked:

"Did anything major happen in China during the time I was away from China?"

After William recalled the information he had received in the past six months, he told Lu Chen what he knew.

"If we talk about the most important thing that happened in China recently, it must be the war that ended a few months ago. ..."

"Stop, I already know about this."

Lu Chen quickly interrupted William and continued to ask:

"Do you know anything else?"

William looked at Lu Chen somewhat embarrassedly.

"I don't know about other major events. I've been in Shanghai for the past year and I don't know much about what's happening in other places."

Lu Chen didn't expect William to be so out of touch with the news. He didn't even know what was happening outside of the Magic City. He could only say:

"In that case, tell me what happened in this Demon City."

What big thing happened in the Magic City? William William thought for a while and said:

"A lot of things have happened in the Magic City in the past six months. First of all, I have to tell you a good news, boss. The Xu Wenqiang you mentioned is really powerful. He has become the leader of the Green Gang, the largest gang in the Magic City. But he has been in some trouble recently. Several gangs that are close to Xiao Ri are planning to assassinate him. I have revealed all this to him."

Lu Chen didn't expect that Xu Wenqiang was really the legendary Qiang brother. Lu Chen smiled and said, "It seems that I have to find a time to meet with the leader of the Green Gang. Does William have anything else to say?"

William scratched his head and said, "Also, the troops stationed in the Magic City have been replaced. I heard that they were transferred from Guangzhou."

Lu Chen's heart tightened when he heard this. Could his elder brother also be transferred to the Magic City? No, he had to ask someone, so he thought of the team leader. He quickly asked:

"William, the one we have a good relationship with, the leader, is he still in the Magic City?"

William said, "He is no longer Regimental Commander He, but Brigade Commander He. His troops have been transferred to Gusu."

Not only was Old He promoted to brigade commander, he was also transferred. How could he find someone to inquire about his elder brother? Lu Chen looked at William and asked, "Do you know anyone in the army stationed in Shanghai?"

William said: "I have done several arms deals with them, and I know a few of them."

Lu Chen said, "Then please help me find out if there is a person named Lu Jiaming in the garrison. His previous position was brigade commander, and his current military position may still be brigade commander, or division commander."

William said, "Okay, I'll go find out for you right away."

Just as William was about to walk out the door, he turned back and asked, “Boss, you want to print out the information about him.”

Lu Chen said: "If there is such a person, please help me find out his address and contact information."

"Good boss."

After that, William left the office.
