1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

The next day, just after dawn, Adams knocked on the door of Lu Chen's house with a double-barreled shotgun in his hand.

Hans opened the door and looked at Adams in surprise.

"Mr. Adams, you came to see the boss so early, are you planning to go hunting?"

Adams waved his hand and said, "Why would I go hunting?"

Then Adams raised the shotgun in his hand.

"I came here so early just to give him this thing. Take me in quickly, he is still waiting for this thing."

Hearing Adams sound so anxious, Hans took Adams into the villa.

As soon as Adams entered the villa, he shouted loudly: "Lu Chen, Lu Chen, come out quickly, look what I brought you."

Lu Chen was sleeping soundly at this time, and he heard someone calling him in a daze. He woke up immediately, and then heard Adams' loud voice. Lu Chen turned his head to look out the window and found that it was only dawn. His heart was immediately filled with anger.

Adams, what are you doing here so early in the morning? Don't you know that disturbing others' sleep is very annoying?

Lu Chen wanted to go back to sleep, but then he heard Adams saying he had brought him something. Lu Chen suddenly remembered that Adams had said he would get him a shotgun. Could he have gotten the gun from his father so quickly?

Lu Chen quickly got up and dressed, not even bothering to wash up, and went straight downstairs. As soon as he reached the corridor, Lu Chen saw Adams carrying a shotgun that looked quite old.

When Adams saw Lu Chen, he immediately raised the shotgun in his hand towards Lu Chen to show off.

"Lu Chen, look what this is."

Lu Chen was very surprised and said, "Did your father really give you his treasured hunting rifle? When did he become so generous to you?"

Adams curled his lips and said, "How could he give me something? I went to the collection room to get it myself."

Lu Chen looked at Adams in surprise.

"Go get it yourself, so you didn't tell your dad."

Adams said: "Tell him how I could have gotten it. I didn't tell him."

Lu Chen looked at Adams in shock, "Aren't you afraid that your father will come after you?"

Adams said, "Don't worry, he doesn't dare to do anything to me now. All the expenses of the family depend on me. Taking his gun is nothing. If he dares to cause trouble to me, I will just cut off his pocket money for a month or two."

Lu Chen gave Adams a thumbs up and said, "You have really turned things around and become a landlord. You are so awesome at home now."

"Of course. If it weren't for me, our steel company would have been taken over by someone else. My father and my two brothers would have to live on the streets and in Hooverville. They are very polite to me now."

Lu Chen continued: "In that case, tell me about this gun."

Adams said: "This gun is the old man's treasure. He said that this gun was made by Colt. You know Colt, the man who invented the revolver. The old man treasures this gun so much that he never allowed us to touch it before."

If Adams hadn't told him who Colt was, Lu Chen really wouldn't have known who he was. After listening to Adams' introduction, Lu Chen felt that this Colt must be a very famous person. After all, the revolver he invented was very famous in the world.

Lu Chen took the gun from Adams and looked at it carefully. It was a double-barreled shotgun. It was about 1.2 meters long. Its wooden butt was carved into the shape of an eagle, and two firing pins were installed on the butt, like an eagle's beak.

At the end of the buttstock, Colt's name was engraved, proving that the gun was indeed made by Colt. Lu Chen was very satisfied with the gun. He said to Adams:

"Brother, thank you so much for getting me such a beautiful shotgun."

Adams waved his hand and said, "We are all brothers, let's not talk about this. As long as you are satisfied, that's all."

Lu Chen said happily: "I am very satisfied with this gun. I like it very much. I am a little reluctant to give it away."

Adams smiled and said, "Okay, I have helped you with this matter. Now, you must not let me down in my next task."

Lu Chen looked at Adams in confusion and asked, "What do you want?"

Adams said, "Didn't I tell you last time that the ore produced by our iron mine in Australia is now unsaleable. I would like to ask you to help find a sales channel."

Lu Chen frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you to hold on for another two years? After these two years, the demand for steel will definitely increase dramatically, and your mine will definitely be too busy to handle it."

Adams smiled bitterly and said, "I also know that the demand for steel will definitely recover in two years. But you also know that I used all my money to buy the steel company. Now the money in my hand is almost gone. I estimate that in a few months, I can't even pay the workers' wages."

Lu Chen didn't expect Adams to be in such a difficult situation. He said angrily:

"Why didn't you tell me that you had no money? I could have loaned it to you."

Adams smiled bitterly and said, "You are expanding your company recently. You are spending money like water. How can I borrow money from you?"

Lu Chen was somewhat speechless. The money used to expand the company was all his own company's money. He personally did not spend a penny on it. He said to Adams:

"How much money do you need now? I'll lend you 10 million. Is that enough?"

Hearing that Lu Chen wanted to lend him 10 million, Adams looked at Lu Chen in shock.

"How do you still have so much money? Although you got a lot more than me, you have launched so many projects this year, and they are all money-consuming beasts. Just the pharmaceutical factory you built with Douglas in Los Angeles must have cost tens of millions. Not to mention that you bought the land within a radius of several kilometers around your factory. That must have cost a lot of money too."

Lu Chen didn't explain to Adams and said directly: "Don't worry about it. I'm just asking you if you want it. If you don't want it, then it's as if I didn't say it."

Adams said quickly, "Yes, of course. With 10 million, I can last for another four or five years, let alone two years."

Lu Chen nodded and continued:

"Since you want, let's talk about the interest."

Adams said, "Tell me what the interest rate is. I'm telling you, you can't ask for too much."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "I'll lend it to you for three years with an interest rate of 30%. What do you think?"

Adams was so frightened by Lu Chen's aura that he stood up and shouted, "You are robbing money."
