1929 I am a chaebol in the United States
Chapter 179 We Don't Sell Tanks
A few days after Lu Chen arrived in Berlin, he intended to use his experiences over the past few days to give some faithful advice to the time travelers who followed him.
If you came to Berlin in 1931, you must not go to the bar to hang out. Because you don't know who is in the bar, when you see everyone in the bar raise their hands to salute. At that time, would you choose to follow the trend or choose to be unique?
If you choose not to salute, then all the people in the bar will salute you. So many people are staring at you with hungry eyes. I just want to ask you if you are afraid.
If you choose to follow the salute, then congratulations, you will become one of them. In the carnival, you may be forced to march on the streets. Or you may be forced to participate in the zero-dollar shopping. But no matter what the situation is, you can't escape fighting with others.
What, you don't believe it? Let me tell you, a group of unemployed people, with nothing to do all day, gather in a bar to drink and complain about society. Then they get drunk together, and you can't control what a group of drunkards will do.
When Lu Chen first arrived in Berlin, he wanted to go to a bar to get some information. He was chatting with someone when someone in the bar suddenly stood up and saluted. Lu Chen just stood there, and before he could figure out what was going on, he saw a group of men with beer bellies staring at him viciously. Lu Chen was so scared that he ran out of the bar immediately.
Another time, after Lu Chen had an experience, when the men in the bar picked up their glasses and saluted while drinking, he also saluted in order to fit in. Then, he met a group of people holding beer and drinking with him.
He had no idea how much he drank that day. He only knew that when he woke up the next day, there was a lot of bread, chocolate and clothes in his room.
Lu Chen had no idea where these things came from. Anyway, when he counted the things in his clothes, he didn't find anything missing. Even the few cents of change were not missing.
Not long after that, a Jewish man led the police to find Lu Chen and accused him of robbing his store. Seeing this, Lu Chen was completely stunned. Fortunately, Lu Chen immediately came to his senses. After finding that his excuses were useless, Lu Chen decisively used his money to settle the matter.
After all the things that happened above, Lu Chen has never been to a bar.
Since he couldn't go to the bar to get information, Lu Chen changed his strategy. In the next few days, Lu Chen started to go shopping and visit schools. With his persistence, he finally found a few Chinese students studying abroad in a university.
Then, with the help of these Chinese students, Lu Chen found out the address of the Knuber factory's office in Berlin.
After receiving the information, Lu Chen was naturally very grateful to the Chinese students who helped him. He said to the international students:
"Thank you so much, I don't know what to call you guys."
One of the young men said, "You're welcome. We are all Chinese. It's only natural for us to help each other. My name is Zhou Weiguo. I'm currently studying at the Infantry Department of the Berlin Military Academy."
Another tall man wearing a hat said:
"My name is Gao Yuntian. I didn't study in Germany. I studied in France."
Lu Chen said quickly, "Thank you so much. My name is Lu Chen and I'm doing business in the United States. It's our fate that we met in a foreign country. I'll treat you all to a meal."
After Lu Chen treated a few people to a meal, he drove at full speed towards the Knuber Company's office.
When Lu Chen arrived at Knuber's office in Berlin, he found it to be very deserted. It didn't look like a world-renowned arms company at all.
At that time, Knuber's office was set up in an older building. This building looked very old. It was a bit like the tube building in later times. Knuber's office was set up in a room on the first floor.
Not only that, the office was still deserted. If there wasn't a sign at the door saying Knuber Office, Lu Chen would have suspected that he had come to the wrong place.
Lu Chen walked into the office and found that there were not many people in the office, only two or three people. They were all sitting in their respective seats bored. When they saw Lu Chen coming in, their eyes lit up at the same time. They immediately stood up from their seats and rushed to entertain Lu Chen.
One of them arranged seats for Lu Chen, and the other poured water for him. They didn't look down on him at all. This caught Lu Chen off guard. Lu Chen quickly said in English:
"Thank you for your warm hospitality. I am really flattered."
Fortunately, several staff members can speak English. They smiled and said:
"This is what we should do. I wonder if you need anything when you come to our Knuber office, equipment or a car."
Yes, you heard it right. Knuber was still doing the automobile and equipment business during this period. Otherwise, how could they have developed the Leopard tank and the Tiger tank? Of course, Lu Chen had no interest in the cars they produced. What interested him was the 88 gun they developed and the two tanks mentioned above.
Of course, there are definitely no such tanks now. Even the Type 1 tank was only recently developed by Knuber. Lu Chen thought for a moment and said:
"Hello, I want to buy some special combat vehicles, can you provide them?"
When they heard that Lu Chen wanted to buy a special combat vehicle, several staff members were visibly stunned. Shouldn't Lu Chen go to England or France to buy this thing? Why did he come to Germany? Didn't he know that Germany was not allowed to produce or develop combat vehicles?
A staff member looked at Lu Chen warily and said to him, "Sir, I think you have come to the wrong place. We in Germany do not produce tanks."
You are kidding me, I know that you got a few Carden Lloyd tanks from Big Ivan in 1928 and secretly studied and imitated them. Lu Chen looked at the staff with a vigilant look on their faces, and he immediately said:
"Sir, I am Chinese and have nothing to do with France or the Commonwealth. I just want to buy a few tanks for our country to study."
The staff member still insisted, "I'm sorry, sir, we really don't produce tanks. If you want to buy a tank, I can introduce you to some people from Big Ivan. You can buy this thing from them."
