1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

Lu Chen tried his best to persuade the staff of Knuber Office to sell him the tank. But these staff members refused to give in and insisted that their company did not produce tanks. Lu Chen was so anxious that he cursed.

Lu Chen really had no way to deal with these people, and finally said:

"I want to buy the 88mm cannon produced by your company. Is this okay?"

Several staff members looked at Lu Chen. They didn't expect that the two products this young man mentioned were the latest weapons developed by their factory. They instinctively wanted to reject Lu Chen. After all, these new weapons were not even equipped to their own army, so how could they sell them to others first?

But at this time, a man wearing a swastika armband and a well-tailored suit walked in from outside. Several staff members hurriedly ran up to the man and said in a flattering manner:

"Master, you are back."

Little Knuber looked at Lu Chen who was still standing in the middle of the room and asked several staff members:

"What is this person here for?"

When Lu Chen heard several staff members calling him "Young Master", he knew his chance had come. The only person who could be called "Young Master" by these people was probably the stupid son of a landlord.

Lu Chen quickly said to Knuber: "Hello, sir. I am Lu Chen. I want to buy some weapons and equipment from your Knuber company."

Knuber looked at Lu Chen and asked tentatively, "Are you from China?"

Lu Chen thought about it and thought that the Germans probably didn't like Americans very much. After all, it was the United States that dragged them into the abyss of defeat. However, Germany had a good relationship with China. So Lu Chen nodded and said:

"Yes, I came from China."

"So what weapons are you going to buy?"

asked Knubb Jr.

Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "I want to buy some tanks and larger caliber artillery, such as 88mm artillery, which would be great."

Little Knuber's eyes kept scanning Lu Chen. Could this man be a spy? How did he know that our company had tanks? And this 88mm gun had just been finalized, how did he know that?

Little Knuber said to Lu Chen with a vigilant look on his face: "Who asked you to come here?"

In order to buy weapons, Lu Chen had to use Edinburgh as an endorsement. He said to little Knubb:

"I am a good friend of General Edinburgh of Hamburg Port. He told me that I could buy these weapons from you."

"Edinburgh!"

Little Knuber muttered the name quietly, and then glanced at Lu Chen with a puzzled look. Of course he knew Edinburgh, but this Lu Chen said that he knew Edinburgh, which made little Knuber a little suspicious.

He asked: "Have you a letter of introduction from the General of Edinburgh?"

Letter of introduction, where do I have this thing, but if I say I don't have it, little Knuber will definitely think I'm lying. If I say I have it, then if little Knuber asks me to take out the letter, I will be in even more trouble.

When Lu Chen didn't know how to answer, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have a business card of William Trading Company. This company was established with the help of Edinburgh. It should be able to prove that he knew Edinburgh and had a good relationship with him.

So Lu Chen immediately took out a business card from his jacket pocket. This business card had Lu Chen's position in William's company and his contact information written on it. Lu Chen saw that he had taken the right business card and immediately handed it to little Knuber.

Knuber took the business card with some confusion, and then glanced at the information on it. He found that it was actually a business card of a German company, and Lu Chen was a shareholder of this company. But unfortunately, he had never heard of the name of this company.

Little Knuber said to Lu Chen: "Mr. Lu, I accept your business card."

Seeing that little Knuber didn't understand the meaning of the business card, Lu Chen quickly explained:

"Sir, I don't have a letter of introduction, but this company can prove that I am very familiar with Mr. Edinburgh. This company was established with the support of General Edinburgh."

"Oh, is it so?"

Little Knuber played with the business card in his hand and asked curiously:

"General Edinburgh owns a share in this company?"

Lu Chen quickly shook his head and said, "This company was jointly opened by me and one of General Edinburgh's former subordinates. At the beginning of the company, General Edinburgh gave us a lot of help."

Little Knuber looked at Lu Chen with a strange smile and said, "What kind of help did I give you? Did I give you a lot of arms?"

Lu Chen was shocked by what Knubb said. Although it was true, how could he say that? Lu Chen couldn't admit it. Lu Chen said seriously:

"Sir, please don't slander General Edinburgh. The general helped us by introducing us to many company owners, so that we can get a more affordable price from these companies."

"Mr. Lu Chen, don't be nervous. I was just joking with you. Well, it's getting late now. Let's stop talking here today and come back tomorrow. I'll talk to you about buying equipment."

Lu Chen looked at the sky and complained in his heart, "It's still early now. Don't you see that the sun has just moved a little to the west? It will take at least three or four hours for the sun to set."

Seeing that Little Knobel had already ordered him to leave, Lu Chen did not stay here any longer. He said goodbye to Little Knobel and left the office.

Although Lu Chen was very unhappy about being forcibly sent away, fortunately, little Knuber gave him a chance and asked him to come again tomorrow.

Lu Chen was walking while thinking in his heart. Knubber drove him away probably to verify whether what he said just now was true. Lu Chen was not worried about this, most of what he said was true. Now he was just worried about whether he would bring trouble to Edinburgh.

After Lu Chen left, Knuber immediately picked up the phone and dialed a number. Then he said into the receiver:

"Please check William Trading Company for me to see if there is a person named Lu Chen in this company. Also, please check what kind of business this company is engaged in."

After saying that, little Knuber hung up the phone and dialed another number.

"Hello, is this General Edinburgh?"

"I'm little Knubb."

"Yes, yes, that's me."

"I want to ask you about a Chinese man named Lu Chen. Do you know this person?"

"You know him, so what kind of person is he?"

"Not bad, huh? Okay, thank you so much. You take a rest first, and we'll talk later."

After a series of investigations, Knubber found that Lu Chen did know Edinburgh and did run a company called William Trading. He thought for a moment and said to several staff members:

"If Lu Chen comes again tomorrow, you can sell him the 88mm cannon. Forget about the tank, it's still under development and not for sale."

"I understand, Master."
