1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

The next day at noon, Lu Chen met Aziz at the hotel and received him warmly.

Following his businessman's instinct, when Lu Chen saw Aziz, the future Middle Eastern tycoon, he wondered how he could get more money from him.

So after signing the employment contract and mining rights contract with Aziz, Lu Chen wondered if he could sell something to him.

Lu Chen seemed to be very concerned about the battle between Aziz and the British. He asked Aziz:

"Mr. Aziz, what is the current situation of your battle with the British?"

Aziz boasted, "We are taking the initiative in the battle with the British. I have confined the British to a few limited areas. Don't worry, Mr. Lu. Your company's employees will be safe if they go there."

Lu Chen curled his lips, not believing what Aziz said at all. If it was really like what you said, then why were you seeking help everywhere?

Lu Chen said: "So that's how it is. Then why haven't you driven the British out of these areas yet?"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Aziz's face immediately turned ugly. Lu Chen quickly said:

"Mr. Aziz, don't get me wrong. I just want to understand the situation clearly so that our team leaders can make reasonable plans. This way, we can help you drive the British out faster."

After hearing Lu Chen's words, Aziz's expression became much better. He said:

"It's like this. The weapons of those British guys are too powerful. They not only have machine guns and artillery, but also airplanes. The weapons of our soldiers are much worse than theirs."

When Lu Chen heard what Aziz said, he immediately became interested. He said to Aziz:

"Then why don't you buy these weapons? I believe that as long as you have these weapons, you will be able to drive the British out faster."

Aziz said with a wry smile: "We also want to buy weapons, but we have no money, and no one is willing to offend Britain and sell weapons to us."

Lu Chen thought about it and realized that it was indeed difficult to have the British standing in the way. First of all, the transportation issue depended on the British (at this time, the control of the Suez Canal was still in the hands of the British).

Lu Chen thought about it for a while. If he wanted to ship weapons to the Middle East without going through Britain, a person immediately came to his mind. It was the man with a mustache who shouted that he wanted to conquer the world. He should be able to sell the weapons to Aziz.

Lu Chen said: "Mr. Aziz, I can actually help you with the weapons issue."

Aziz stared at Lu Chen and said excitedly:

"Mr. Lu, is what you said true?"

Lu Chen nodded with a smile.

Aziz asked again: "Mr. Lu, aren't you afraid of retaliation from the British?"

How could the British want to take revenge on me? If they want to take revenge on me, they should take revenge on the little mustache. It was the little mustache who sold the weapons. It was not the weapons I sold.

"Mr. Aziz, although Britain is very powerful, there are still many countries that are not afraid of Britain."

After hearing what Lu Chen said, Aziz immediately said, "If you can really help us get weapons like artillery and airplanes, Mr. Lu, I am willing to change the mining rights to 60 years, and the percentage will remain unchanged."

The mining rights were extended for another 20 years. Lu Chen's heart was pounding. This was too tempting. Lu Chen wiped the corner of his mouth and said:

"Mr. Aziz, don't worry. As long as you have money, I can definitely help you buy weapons."

Aziz said in embarrassment: "Mr. Lu, you know we don't have much money."

Lu Chen thought for a moment, then said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask for you if there's anyone willing to lend you money."

As Lu Chen spoke, he came to his study. He picked up the phone and thought about who to call. The safest choice was to call Dio. Dio would definitely lend money to Aziz because they were about to go to Aziz to exploit oil. Then they could just use the oil to pay off the debt.

But Lu Chen didn't want to call Dio now. He couldn't let Dio take all the benefits. He had to make good use of this opportunity and make some more friends. After thinking about it, he felt that Morgan would definitely be able to come up with the money. It all depended on whether Morgan was willing to lend the money to Aziz.

He felt that he had to give it a try. If Morgan disagreed, he could ask Green. He believed that the Douglas family should have a lot of money.

After making the decision, he took out the phone book, found Morgan's number, and called.

The call was quickly connected. A young man answered the phone and said:

"Hello, this is Morgan Manor, who are you looking for?"

Lu Chen said, "Hello, I'm Lu Chen from New York Lu's Company. I'm looking for Mr. Morgan."

"Hello Mr. Lu, I'm Morgan J. May I ask what can I do for you?"

Lu Chen said, "Mr. Morgan, I have a friend from the Middle East who wants to raise some money. I wonder if you are interested, Mr. Morgan."

Morgan asked in confusion: "Mr. Lu, you have money yourself, why did you think of me?"

Lu Chen said: "He wants to take out a loan, but I have sold my shares in Guozong Bank, so I can't lend him the money."

Morgan asked warily, "Is there something wrong with your friend? Mr. Lu Chen, you dare not lend him money."

Lu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Morgan, the key point now is that he is not raising money on behalf of an individual, he is raising money on behalf of the country. I am not qualified to do that."

Morgan was silent for a while and then said, "Where is your friend? Can I talk to him in person?"

Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "We are in Washington. If Mr. Morgan wants to talk, I may have to trouble you to go to Washington."

"Is that so? Okay, I'll come over tomorrow. Tell me your address and I'll come directly to you tomorrow."

Lu Chen told Morgan the address of the hotel where he was staying. After agreeing on a meeting time with Morgan, Lu Chen hung up the phone.

After Lu Chen finished talking to Morgan on the phone, he returned to the living room and said to Aziz:

"Mr. Aziz, I have contacted a large American bank for you. They will be here tomorrow to discuss the loan with you."

Aziz said worriedly: "Mr. Lu, will they lend us money?"

Lu Chen said: "Don't worry about this, I will be there to vouch for you."

"Thank you so much. Mr. Lu, you will be my Aziz's closest friend from now on."

After chatting with Aziz, Lu Chen booked another room for Aziz in the hotel to facilitate his meeting with Morgan tomorrow.

After Aziz left, Lu Chen began to plan a trip to Germany. Then he found a problem. He and the mustache man didn't know each other. How could he meet the mustache man?

As long as he could meet with Little Mustache, Lu Chen would be sure to buy weapons from him.

As for why Lu Chen was so confident, first of all, at this time, the mustache guy was also preparing to sell weapons to the outside world. Going to him at this time was like a sleepy head meeting a pillow.

Secondly, the mustache is very short of money now, or more precisely, Germany is very short of money now, otherwise the mustache would not have started to crack down on the Jews as soon as he came to power. I asked him to buy weapons at this time, and a large number of weapons, isn't this giving him political achievements? Why wouldn't he be unwilling? Besides, the Middle East is an oil-producing area. If we have good relations with it, will Germany still be short of oil in the future?

Lu Chen thought about it, then found Hans and asked:

"Hans, do you know Adolf?"

Hans thought for a moment and said, "Boss, are you talking about Adolf who is very popular in Germany recently?"

Lu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, that's him."

Hans said, "I have been away from Germany for a year or two with you, the boss. How could I possibly know him?"

Lu Chen continued: "Then do you think it is possible that Mr. Edinburgh knows him?"

Hans thought for a moment and said, "Maybe. Why, boss, do you want to find him?"

Lu Chen nodded again.

"Yes, I want to find him."

Hans said, "Then I think it will be easier for you to contact Adolf if you ask William."

Lu Chen looked at Hans puzzledly and asked, "Why?"

Hans said, "William has a good relationship with the German consuls when doing business in China. Let him ask the consul to contact Adolf. It will be easier than asking Mr. Edinburgh to help you contact Adolf."

Lu Chen suddenly realized and said, "So that's how it is. OK, I understand. Please help me send a telegram to William and ask him to help me contact this Adolf."

"Okay, boss, I'll do it right away."
