1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

Lu Chen left the training camp, and asked Zhang Bing for a car, and drove to a nearby town. He drove around the town but couldn't find Ike. So he decided not to look for him for the time being. Lu Chen drove to his own arsenal.

During lunch, Lu Chen drove to the Arsenal. When Lu Chen entered the factory, he was stopped by someone.

"Sir, who are you looking for here?"

The security guard saw Lu Chen driving over in a military vehicle and guessed that Lu Chen must be a US troop, so he spoke very politely.

"I'm here to see your factory manager Li Qiang. Is he here?"

Lu Chensheng stepped out and said to the security guard with a smile on his face.

The security guard frowned as he saw an oriental face sticking out of the car. There are oriental people serving in the US military, but their status is not high. He asked with a stern face:

"Excuse me, do you have an appointment? Our factory manager Li Qiang is very busy and he won't see anyone without an appointment."

Lu Chen looked at the security guard, feeling a little strange. He was so friendly just now, but why did his expression suddenly change? He looked the security guard up and down and found that he was not Chinese. But he had yellow skin and black glasses, so Lu Chen guessed that he was a local.

Lu Chen took out his ID, handed it to the security guard and said:

"This is my ID. Director Li Qiang of our company wants to discuss business."

The security guard took the ID, flipped it open and saw that Lu Chen was actually a captain. He knew that there were not many Chinese serving as officers in the US military. This man could actually serve as a captain. He must have some background. He respectfully returned the ID to Lu Chen and said to him:

"Mr. Lu, please wait a moment. I will go in and ask our factory director for instructions."

After the security guard left, Lu Chen looked around and found that the factory had expanded a lot and the road had been widened. Lu Chen muttered to himself:

"It seems that Li Qiang is doing a good job in management. He even renovated the factory."

Li Qiang was eating at this time. When he heard the security guard say that Lu Chen was here, he was stunned at first, wondering why Lu Chen came here without saying anything. No one notified him in advance. Since he was here, he had no choice but to stop eating. Then he followed the security guard to the factory gate.

As he walked, he thought to himself, what on earth was the reason why Lu Chen suddenly came here this time? Did he receive another big order?

With doubts, he walked to the factory gate. Then he saw Lu Chen standing next to the car doing nothing. He ran up to him and said with a smile:

"Boss, why are you here?"

The security guard next to him heard that Lu Chen was his breadwinner. He silently memorized Lu Chen's appearance in his heart. He looked at Lu Chen with some trepidation. His attitude towards his boss just now was not very good. He hoped that his boss would not bear a grudge.

Lu Chen saw Li Qiang coming over. He smiled and said:

"I came to the Philippines for something, and I came to see how the factory is doing."

After that, Lu Chen pointed around and said, "You have developed the factory well. The road has been widened and the factory has been expanded. Is the factory business good recently?"

Li Qiang smiled and said, "Boss, don't stand here. It's time for dinner. Let's go eat first. I'll give you a detailed report later."

Lu Chen nodded, then drove the car into the factory parking area and parked it, then followed Li Qiang to the cafeteria.

After entering the cafeteria, Li Qiang was about to take Lu Chen to the small kitchen on the second floor. Lu Chen quickly stopped him and said to Li Qiang:

"We can just eat the staff meal on the first floor, and don't have to go to the second floor for the special meal."

After that, Lu Chen walked to the front desk, took the tableware, and lined up with the employees to get food. Lu Chen took a look and found that today's work meal was pretty good, with a large bowl of meat and a large bowl of vegetables.

Seeing Lu Chenzhen start to line up, Li Qiang hurried over and said:

"Boss, you should come with me to the second floor. The dishes here are all made by local chefs. They are not suitable for the tastes of us Chinese people. Let's go to the second floor. There are chefs who specialize in Chinese food on the second floor."

Lu Chen looked at the two dishes carefully. They were really something he had never seen before. One was a stew of vegetables with some meat that looked like ham sausage. The other was filled with minced meat.

This employee meal is really good, it's all meat. Lu Chen thought about it and followed Li Qiang's advice. Since Li Qiang said so, he probably couldn't get used to the taste. So he followed Li Qiang up to the second floor.

After lunch, Li Qiang brought Lu Chen to the office and reported to Lu Chen:

"Boss, our arsenal and the pharmaceutical factory next door have been doing very well recently."

Lu Chen asked: "Tell me in detail."

Li Qiang said, "Last month, the Arsenal produced 40,000 rifles, 500 mortars, and 300 heavy machine guns. There were also more than 200,000 rounds of various ammunition. The Arsenal now has more than 500 employees. The hundreds of thousands of units of penicillin produced by the pharmaceutical factory were all picked up by Mr. Green. I heard that this drug sells well in the United States. And Mr. William from China also came to pick up more than 50 kilograms of No. 1 pill."

Lu Chen was very satisfied when he heard the previous part, but he frowned when he heard that William took away 50 kilograms of No. 1 pills. What was William going to do with so much flour? Was he going to sell it in China? That wouldn't do. He decided to go back to China in a few days to see what William was going to do with so many No. 1 pills.

Lu Chen looked at Li Qiang and asked, "Li Qiang, did William tell you what the pills were for when he came to get them? Also, when did the people from Red Gate come to get the weapons last month? Where did they go after they got the weapons?"

Li Qiang scratched his head and said, "Why did William take the pills? I didn't ask that. I thought the boss knew it. I'll ask him next time he comes."

"Since he didn't ask, forget it. I'll go back to China in a few days and ask him myself then. What about those people from the Red Gate? Where did they go? Do you know?"

Li Qiang shook his head and said, "Boss, you made this order. So I didn't go to understand it."

Lu Chen was a little speechless. How could Li Qiang know nothing? Since Li Qiang didn't know these things, he didn't ask any more.

He changed the subject and asked, "Li Qiang, have you recruited some talents in mechanics or firearms here?"

Lu Chen asked this question because he wanted to understand the factory's current design capabilities. Although Lu Chen knew some of the principles of semi-automatic rifles, he had never touched a gun. He didn't know what the parts of those guns looked like. If there were no talents in firearms here, Lu Chen would definitely not be able to make a semi-automatic rifle.

Li Qiang said, "Where can we find such talents here? The technicians and engineers in the factory were all sent by Chief Engineer Chen from the United States. What, boss, do you want to repair guns?"

Lu Chen said, "Call all the technicians and engineers over here. I have something to discuss with them."

Li Qiang said: "Okay, I'll go and call them over."

Soon, Li Qiang brought a few people to the office. Li Qiang introduced Lu Chen:

"Boss, these two people are sent by Chief Engineer Chen."

After that, Li Qiang pointed to a young man with a slicked-back hair and glasses and introduced him:

"Boss, this is Ding Yang, a technician in our factory."

After that, Li Qiang pointed to a handsome blond man and said, "This is Dave, an engineer in our factory."

Lu Chen nodded, then asked the two people: "Excuse me, how much do you know about firearms?"

Dave said, "Boss, I am very familiar with the guns produced by our factory. I also know their firing principles."

Ding Yang said: "Boss, I majored in mechanics, and I'm new to firearms, so I'm not very familiar with them."

After hearing what Dave said, Lu Chen was somewhat delighted. Since he was familiar with the principle, he should be able to make a semi-automatic rifle. Lu Chen thought for a moment and said:

"Dave, are you familiar with the shooting principle of a submachine gun? Can you make one?"

Dave said, "I am familiar with the principle, but I don't know how to make it. If you have the blueprint, I can try to make it."

Lu Chen wanted to vomit blood. Do I need to find you if I can do it according to the blueprint? Forget it. It's impossible to rely on the two of us to make a semi-automatic rifle. It seems that I have to go back to Chen Jianghe to find a solution. He waved his hand in disappointment and said:

"Forget it, you don't need to make it, you can go back."
