1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

When Wu Xuance heard Lu Chen say that there was a place that could accommodate more than 100,000 Chinese people in Chinatown, he could no longer sit still and asked quickly:

"Where?"

Lu Chen said, "It's next to my company. I can buy a large piece of land there. You just need to build a house there."

Wu Xuance was not willing to accept Lu Chen's proposal. If everyone went to Lu Chen's place, wouldn't Lu Chen become everyone's landlord? He didn't want to be controlled by others.

Wu Xuance shook his head and said, "I don't think it's necessary. We live quite well here."

Seeing that Wu Xuance disagreed, Lu Chen turned his gaze to Old Hong. After listening to Lu Chen's proposal, Old Hong thought about it seriously for a long time. Then he said:

"I think Brother Lu's suggestion is very good. So, you buy the land first, and then we count the number of Chinese people who are willing to move to your place. Then you build houses based on the number of people counted. What do you think?"

Lu Chen curled his lips, thinking, I gave you advice with good intentions, but you still don't trust me, forget it, I don't care about you anymore. Lu Chen thought about it seriously and felt that it was okay to buy the land, anyway, the land price is not expensive now. If the New York State government really wants to demolish Chinatown one day, this piece of land can also provide a place for Chinese people to live at that time.

So Lu Chen said:

"Okay, then I'll ask someone to buy the land near my factory when I get back."

After Lu Chen finished talking about this, he chatted with Mr. Hong for a while, and then Lu Chen found an excuse to leave. At this time, Wu Xuance asked someone to bring a bag of money and handed the money to Lu Chen.

"Brother Lu Chen, this is the 70,000 yuan we need to buy weapons. Click on it."

Lu Chen took the money and said with a smile, "No need to check. I trust you."

Mr. Hong said, "Brother Lu, you should click it. After all, this is a large sum of money."

Seventy thousand yuan is not a lot of money. Lu Chen said nonchalantly:

"No, no. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, Lu Chen casually picked up the money and walked out of the small building. At the door, Lu Chen casually threw the bag in his hand into Hans's hand.

"Hans, let's go back to the villa."

Hans took the bag and wondered what was inside. He opened the bag and saw several large stacks of banknotes. He said to Lu Chen:

"Boss, are you here at Hongmen today to exchange change with them?"

Lu Chen looked at Hans with some confusion, then took the bag from Hans and looked at it. It was full of ten-dollar, five-dollar, and one-dollar bills, but not a single one-hundred-dollar bill.

He was full of doubts. What was going on? Why did they give me so much change? No matter how Lu Chen thought, he would never know that the 70,000 yuan was the net income of Hongmen for nearly three months. As for why it was all change, it was because the largest denomination of money received by the workers was ten yuan.

Lu Chen thought that maybe Red Gate gave me all the money that they didn't save today. Thinking about it, Lu Chen felt that this should be the case. For an organization as large as Red Gate, they should have an income of several hundred thousand dollars a day. He said to Hans:

"Just drive your car and don't worry about the rest."

After saying this, Lu Chen closed his eyes and began to rest.

After returning to the villa, Lu Chen called Fu Mingzhuo and asked him to buy several hundred hectares of land near the factory.

After hearing what Lu Chen said, Fu Mingzhuo shouted in shock: "Lu Chen, you are crazy. Although you have made a lot of money, you should not spend it like this. Do you know what kind of lands are near us? They are all wastelands. Why did you buy these lands? Are you going to have children?"

Lu Chen said, "Don't worry about this. I didn't spend your money. Just buy it."

When Fu Mingzhuo heard what Lu Chen said, he immediately roared:

"Okay, I don't care about you anymore, just build it."

After saying that, Fu Mingzhuo hung up the phone.

A "beep, beep, beep" sound came from the microphone, and Lu Chen said angrily:

"This Fu Mingzhuo is going to rebel. He actually dared to hang up on me."

After Lu Chen hung up the phone, he went back to his room to sleep. He had to fly to Washington early tomorrow morning, so he had to get a good rest tonight.

The next morning, Lu Chen took Ike out, and they drove to the airport and boarded a plane to Washington.

After several hours of flying, Lu Chen and Ike finally arrived in Washington and found someone to pick them up.

They followed the people who picked them up at the airport to a manor. Outside the manor.

As soon as Lu Chen got out of the car, he saw Dio standing at the gate of the manor. He immediately went up to Dio and greeted him.

"Mr. Dio, I didn't expect that I would have to trouble you to come pick us up in person."

Dio smiled and said, "Brother Lu Chen, if you are coming, I will definitely greet you in person. Come on, let's go into the house together."

Dio then pulled Lu Chen into the manor. After entering the manor, Lu Chen anxiously asked Dio:

"Mr. Dior, does the envoy from Arabia live here?"

Dio nodded and said, "Yes, he has already arrived this morning. I will take you to see him now."

Dio brought Lu Chen to a reception room. In the reception room, a man wearing a scarf was sitting on the sofa drinking coffee. When he saw Dio bringing Lu Chen in, he immediately stood up, pointed at Lu Chen, looked at Dio with a puzzled look and asked:

"Is this the person you introduced to me, Mr. Dio, who can help us win the war?"

Dio smiled and said, "Mr. Apache, yes, he is the boss of Hongshui Security, Mr. Lu Chen."

Apache asked in confusion: "Why is he a Chinese? Can the Chinese help us defeat England?"

Seeing that this Arab named Apache questioned him, Lu Chen immediately said:

"Mr. Apache, right? Even though I am Chinese, the employees of my company are all American veterans, some of whom participated in World War I. Their fighting ability is unquestionable."

Apache looked at Dio and asked, "Is that so?"

Dio said, "Yes, that's true."

After hearing Dio's confirmation, Apache believed that Lu Chen was really capable of helping them. He said to Lu Chen:

"Then Mr. Lu, I wonder what kind of help your company can provide us."

Lu Chen smiled and asked, "Mr. Apache, how do you want us to help you?"

Apache said, "You'd better send troops to us to help us against the British."

Lu Chen said: "Mr. Apache, are you sure you want us to join the battle directly? Our hiring fee is not low."

Apache asked in confusion: "Aren't you going to help us? Why are you charging us?"

Lu Chen glanced at Dio, who spread his hands, indicating that he knew nothing. Lu Chen retracted his gaze and looked at Apache and said:

"Mr. Apache, I own a company. I can't help you for free."

"Then I wonder how much money you want in exchange for helping us?"

Lu Chen replied: "Not much, ten thousand dollars per person per day."

This price scared Apache directly, he said:

"Mr. Lu, this is too expensive. We don't have that much money to hire you. Forget it, I'll find someone else to help us."

Apache said to Dio:

"Mr. Dior, thank you for your help. The price is too high. We can't accept it. I will go back first."

After saying that, Apache was about to leave the reception room.

How could Lu Chen let this big fat sheep get away? He quickly asked:

"Mr. Apache, please don't leave yet. Let's talk."

Apache said, "Mr. Lu, our area is all desert. We don't have that much money. We can't afford to hire people from your company."

Lu Chen said, "Mr. Apache, please listen to me first before deciding whether to invite us or not, okay?"

Apache looked at Lu Chen and motioned for him to continue.

Lu Chen said: "Mr. Apache, first of all, our company's employees have all served in elite troops, and their combat skills are very high. You won't find such outstanding soldiers anywhere else."

"Secondly, we are going to help you fight a war this time. People will die in war. The employees of my company all have families. If they die while on your side, how will their families live in the future? Shouldn't we give them enough resettlement allowance?"

Apache thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Lu Chen continued, "And if they go to your place to fight, shouldn't you provide weapons and ammunition?"

Apache said: "Don't worry, we can provide them with weapons and ammunition."

Lu Chen curled his lips, thinking that who would want to use those rubbish guns you guys use? Lu Chen said, "Mr. Apache, you should know that a soldier must use weapons that he is familiar with in order to exert his full strength. The weapons you use are not the same as theirs."

Apache said, "What should we do? We don't have any American-made weapons there."

Lu Chen said: "Don't worry about that, we will bring our own ammunition."

Apache said happily, "You are so thoughtful."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "So, Mr. Apache, our fees are actually not high. We have to pay our employees resettlement allowances and buy weapons and ammunition for them. These are all the money we have to spend."

Apache thought for a moment and said, "We don't have that much money."

Lu Chen said: "It doesn't matter if you don't have money. You can use your country's resources to pay us as commission."

Apache asked curiously, "Do you still accept resources?"

Lu Chen nodded.

Apache said, "I don't know what resources you want."

Lu Chen said: "That depends on what resources you are willing to provide."

Apache thought for a moment and said, "Can you accept the oil?"

Lu Chen said: "Of course, I can accept oil."

When Apache heard Lu Chen accept the oil payment, he said happily: "Okay, after we win, we will give you oil."

Lu Chen heard that they would only give it to him after the war was won. How could that be possible? What if they didn't acknowledge it in the future? Lu Chen quickly shook his head and said:

"Mr. Apache, if you wait until you win the war before giving me oil, I will definitely not accept it."

Apache said, "But those oil wells are in the hands of the British. If you don't drive them away, we have oil for you."

Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Apache, how about this? You give us the right to exploit the oil, and after we start the cooperation, we will exploit the oil ourselves."

Apache said, "I can't decide this. I have to go back and ask our leader before I can decide."

Lu Chen said: "Yes, if your leader agrees, I can send my staff over immediately."
