1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

After Lu Jiaming came out of the house, Lu Chen followed Lu Jiaming into the car.

After getting in the car, Lu Chen was very curious about what Commander Wu had said to his elder brother alone. So he asked:

"Brother, Commander Wu left you alone and told you something."

Lu Jiaming smiled and said, "General Wu kept me here because he wanted to ask me what kind of person you are and why you gave him such a big discount."

At this point, Lu Jiaming looked at Lu Chen in confusion and asked, "Xiao Chen, I am also confused as to why you gave Commander Wu such good conditions.

"For every business deal that Commander Wu introduces, you give us a 50% discount on the original price. Aren't you afraid of losing money by offering such conditions?"

Lu Chen smiled and explained, "Brother, you don't understand this, I am trying to grab the market now. If I don't give General Wu enough benefits, how can he help me attract customers with all his heart?

You have been in the Chinese army for so long, you know what these bigwigs are thinking. They just want to become bigger and stronger. How can they be willing to work for nothing? "

Lu Jiaming thought about it and agreed with Lu Chen's idea. These warlords in China only care about their own little piece of land, or how to expand their territory. And they keep all the good things to themselves. They will never share them with others.

Lu Chen continued, "To be honest, I'm worried that if I don't give this Army Commander Wu enough benefits, he won't be willing to introduce me to other bigwigs in the army who want to buy weapons.

You also know that I know very few warlords in China. If no one introduces me to them, and I have to slowly contact them one by one and then build relationships, it will take a lot of time. And it will cost a lot of money.

So I gave Commander Wu some benefits and let him be my salesperson, which saved him time and a lot of money. All in all, I won’t lose money.”

After hearing Lu Chen's explanation, Lu Jiaming immediately understood. After all, his family used to be in business, and Lu Jiaming knew a lot about business. Lu Jiaming nodded to show that he understood.

Back at the Lu family villa, Lu Jiaming arranged for Lu Chen to live in his previous room. Lu Chen walked into the room. Although he had not lived here for long, he could still find that the layout of the room was not much different from before.

It seems that my eldest brother has deep feelings for this villa. He can even remember the furnishings in his own room.

After living in the Lu family villa for a few days, the phone in the villa kept ringing early in the morning.

After answering the call, Lu Jiaming quickly ran to Lu Chen's room and called Lu Chen out of bed.

"Xiao Chen, hurry up and get up and wash up. Commander Wu said that he will take us to meet a big shot from Jinling today. It may be helpful to your business."

Hearing the word "business", Lu Chen's sleepiness disappeared immediately. He quickly got up from the bed and began to search for clothes in his room.

When he opened the closet, he found it was empty. Only then did he realize that he had just bought this villa and there were no clothes of his own in it.

He immediately took out his suitcase from the bed, found a few nice suits and put them on, then hurried out of the room and into the hall.

"Brother, I'm done, let's go."

When Lu Jiaming saw Lu Chen coming out, he took Lu Chen into the car and headed towards the airport in Shanghai.

When Lu Chen and his companions arrived at the airport, Commander Wu had been waiting on the apron with his car for a long time.

Seeing Lu Jiaming and Lu Chen rushing over, he complained, "Why are you here just now? Come over and stand still. Minister Chen will be here soon."

Lu Chen said apologetically, "I'm so sorry. I just returned to China and I haven't adjusted to the time difference yet. So I got up a little late."

As they spoke, Lu Chen and Lu Jiaming ran towards the crowd. Since they both slept late, they could only find a seat at the back and stand.

When Commander Wu saw Lu Chen standing at the back, he immediately frowned and said, "Brother Lu Chen, why are you standing so far back? Come to the front. I will introduce Minister Chen to you later."

Lu Chen glanced at his elder brother, and Lu Jiaming quickly pushed him forward, signaling him to go over quickly.

Lu Chen walked to the front reluctantly, wondering what was wrong with Commander Wu, calling him to the front but letting his elder brother stand at the back.

Lu Chen came to the front and found two middle-aged men standing next to General Wu. He couldn't help but wonder who these two people were, standing side by side with General Wu.

Seeing Lu Chen standing in front, Commander Wu immediately introduced the two people around him to Lu Chen.

He pointed to the artist on his left and introduced him, "Brother Lu Chen, this is the mayor of Demon City, Mayor Liu."

At this time, Mayor Liu nodded to Lu Chen. Then he said to Lu Chen:

"Mr. Lu, I heard from Commander Wu that you have several factories in the United States. I wonder if you are interested in opening a few factories in Shanghai as well."

Lu Chen would never want to build a factory in Magic City at this time. It is already January 1931. There is only a few days left before the first attack on Magic City. Building a factory in Magic City at this time is like throwing money into the water.

Lu Chen said tactfully: "Mayor Chen, I would like to build a factory in Shanghai, after all, this is my hometown. But unfortunately, I just expanded the factory in the United States some time ago. I don't have the money to open another factory. When I have sufficient funds, I will definitely return to Shanghai to build a factory to support the construction of my hometown."

Mayor Chen was a little disappointed after hearing what Lu Chen said, but he still smiled and said to Lu Chen:

"Okay, our city government welcomes you to come back and run a factory at any time, Mr. Lu."

After Lu Chen finished speaking, Commander Wu pointed to the person on his right and introduced him, "Brother Lu Chen, this is the president of the Chamber of Commerce in Magic City, President Qian."

Lu Chen looked at President Qian. He had a standard middle-parted hairstyle, wore a green Tang suit, and was holding a dragon-headed cane. He was looking at Lu Chen with a smile on his face.

President Qian smiled and said to Lu Chen, "Hello, Mr. Lu. Our Magic City Chamber of Commerce would like to invite you to visit our headquarters."

Lu Chen quickly said, "I've heard of you, President Qian, for a long time. I will definitely visit the Magic City Chamber of Commerce if I have the chance."

Just as President Qian was about to say something, a propeller whirring sound came from the sky. Commander Wu immediately said to the crowd, "Let's get ready quickly, Minister Chen's plane will be here soon."

Soon, a plane appeared in everyone's sight. Commander Wu immediately said to everyone, "Here it comes."

Lu Chen looked at the plane with some curiosity. He wondered who Minister Chen was and how he could travel by plane.

Soon the plane landed on the runway, and Commander Wu immediately led everyone to greet it.

The plane door opened and a middle-aged man in military uniform walked out. As soon as he got off the plane, he shook hands warmly with Commander Wu.

The two chatted for a few words, and then Commander Wu came over with Minister Chen. Minister Chen exchanged a few words with Mayor Chen and Chairman Qian.

Commander Wu took Minister Chen to Lu Chen's side. Commander Wu introduced Minister Chen:

"Brother Chen, this is Lu Chen. He just came back from the United States and has several large factories in the United States. The products produced by his factories are exactly what you came to the Magic City to buy from those foreigners this time."

After hearing Commander Wu's introduction, Minister Chen's eyes lit up. He looked Lu Chen up and down for a while, then said with a smile:

"Mr. Lu, I am very interested in the products of your factory. I wonder if we can find a time to talk."

Lu Chen also said with a smile on his face: "Minister Chen, you are too polite. Since Minister Chen is interested in our factory's products, we can talk at any time."
