A ray of sunlight passed through the window and shone on Lu Chen's face. Lu Chen sat on a chair and woke up lazily.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Lu Chen quickly blocked the dazzling sunlight with his hands.

"Why is there still a sun in the underworld? Is this a little sun created by the underworld itself?"

"That's not right. It's still very warm when it shines on your body. You see, it can also cast shadows on people."

Lu Chen said somewhat nonsensically.

Suddenly, Lu Chen felt that a lot of things were stuffed into his head. My head felt like it was about to burst. Lu Chen quickly hit his head on the table in front of him. Wanted to pass out.

However, it was as if God was deliberately going against him. He almost banged his head, but he still didn't faint.

I don't know how long it took before the pain disappeared.

Lu Chen rubbed his head while baring his teeth and scolding:

"Damn, I hit you too hard just now. My head hurts so much now."

After resting for a while, Lu Chen found that he had a lot more things in his memory. As he recalled these memories, he discovered some problems.

"I have traveled through time!!!"

(Lu Chen felt good. He didn’t expect that he could survive again. This time he promised not to seek death again and threw firecrackers at Jingguo’s toilet.)

“This is the Republic of China now!!!”

(Not counting the above, this time I plan to drop bombs in the Yingguo Shrine.)

"I'm still a big boss!!!"

(Damn it, I finally became a serf and sang. This time I don’t have to work for others from dawn to dusk and be exploited. I can finally live a life of being a secretary when I have something to do and being a secretary when I have nothing to do.)

"My company is going bankrupt!!!"

(Can you please stop this? I haven’t been so fucking happy for a few minutes before you made a turn like this. It seems that I overthought it. I am still a working-class person.)

"I still owe a lot of debt!!!"

(God, come out, can you get me back? Damn it, my deposits were still positive before, but you brought me here, not only did you not give me any money, but you also made me owe a lot of money. This day has never happened It’s really impossible to pass the law.)

Lu Chen felt like crying but had no tears left.

"What are these things? It's such a bad start. No wonder the original master committed suicide by taking poison. In these situations, everyone has to collapse."

Lu Chen calmed down his mood and started rummaging around the office with the mentality that the worst he could do was to die again.

After searching for a long time, I finally found a safe in a corner of the office. Lu Chen rummaged through his memory and recalled the password to the safe.

"10086, what the hell, has the mobile company's business expanded to the Republic of China?"

Lu Chen complained speechlessly.

Lu Chen followed the method in his memory and turned the knob on the safe to a specific position. Sure enough the safe was open.

"Damn, it's really 10086. Original owner, I seriously doubt that you are also a time-travelling person. But as a time-traveling person, you have been so miserable, which really embarrasses us time-travelers."

Lu Chen continued to complain.

Lu Chen found a pocket watch in the safe, as well as a dozen unopened croakers, and five small yellow croakers at the bottom.

"Dear me, I still have so much money, why did I go bankrupt? How much money did the original owner owe?"

After rummaging for a while, I didn't find anything valuable.

"I have to understand the specific situation and see if I can save it. I finally became a big boss. I can't just give up."

Lu Chen found a deputy manager of this company in his memory. It's a turtle named Fu Mingzhuo.

Lu Chen quickly left his office and came to Fu Mingzhuo's office. Lu Chen found that there was no one there.

Lu Chen was a little angry and said:

"Who are these people? The sun has already risen so high, but they haven't come to work yet. Their wages will be deducted. They will definitely have their wages deducted."

Lu Chen returned to his office and called Fu Mingzhuo.

"Hello, I'm Fu Mingzhuo, what can I do?"

A yawning voice came from the phone.

"I'm Lu Chen, Fu Mingzhuo, what time is it now, why don't you come to work?"

Lu Chen yelled.

"Boss, I just checked. It's only seven o'clock, and it's not yet work time."

Fu Mingzhuo's explaining voice came from the phone.

Lu Chen quickly took out his pocket watch and looked at it. I found that it was indeed seven o'clock. I was a little embarrassed, but then I thought, damn, I’m the boss now. I'm so embarrassed. Isn't it normal for your boss to ask you to work overtime?

Thinking that his former boss called me in the middle of the night and asked me to pick him up, I didn't get up at two o'clock in the morning, drove my Wuling magic car, and ran to the airport to pick him up.

As a result, he was scolded. The reason is that the car I drove does not fit his identity.

By the way, if you want a good ride, you should pay me more.

Get your emotions together. Lu Chen said to Fu Mingzhuo:

"Come to the company quickly, I have something to ask you."

After speaking, Lu Chen hung up the phone without giving Fu Mingzhuo a chance to refuse.

Lu Chen waited in the office for more than ten minutes before Fu Mingzhuo arrived.

Lu Chen was a little surprised. Fu Mingzhuo lived in the company and arrived so quickly. He seems to be a good comrade.

Lu Chen asked: "Manager Fu, I want to know what items are still available in the factory. How much are they worth? How much shortfall do we have to pay off the loan?"

Fu Mingzhuo was a little strange. Didn't I just report these things to the boss yesterday? He called me over this early in the morning just to report this. Boss, you are probably sick.

But who calls Lu Chen the boss? Fu Mingzhuo still reported to you seriously.

"Boss, there are one hundred and twenty workers in our factory now. We already owe them two months' wages. The total is 300 yuan."

"The factory now has more than 20 textile machines, more than 600 kilograms of raw silk in the warehouse, and more than 20,000 pieces of woven cloth. The total value is about 100,000 oceans."

"Boss, we owe the bank a total of 250,000 yuan. We need to pay back 50,000 yuan this month."

After hearing the report, Lu Chen thought about it silently in his mind. There are also raw silk and cloth. How can I pay back the money I owe with just this little thing?

Lu Chen thought that it would be enough to sell the cloth. Lu Chen quickly said to Fu Mingzhuo: "Mr. Fu, is there anyone asking us to sell cloth? As long as we sell the cloth, I should be able to pay off the debt this month."

Fu Mingzhuo looked at Lu Chen as if he were a fool.

"Boss, have you forgotten that it's because we participated in the boycott of Xiaozhi's raw silk. Xiaozhi used their connections to blockade our factory. Now all the merchants in the Magic City no longer dare to buy our cloth?"

When Lu Chen heard the news, he suddenly wanted to find out what the current time was and why he dared to be so arrogant in his childhood. Lu Chen glanced at the calendar on the wall, and the one on it said February 1, 1929.

He racked his brains to recall the history he had learned. Didn't he remember that he only took control of Shanghai in 1932? Why is it that in only 29 years, he has become so powerful in his childhood?

He asked: "Do those merchants just listen to Xiaozhi's words?"

Fu Mingzhuo explained: "It's not that they are afraid of small life. It's because if someone buys cloth in our factory, they will ask the Black Dragon Club people to go to other people's stores to cause trouble. Now those merchants no longer dare to buy cloth from us. Goods."

It turned out that this was the case. Lu Chen quickly asked: "Did the people from the Black Dragon Society come to make trouble at our place? Are any of our workers injured?"

Fu Mingzhuo said: "They dare not come to us to make trouble. Boss, you have forgotten that you asked Captain He to transfer a company of people to station near our factory."

Lu Chen didn't expect that the original owner was actually related to people in the army. But this relationship seems to be of little help to the current situation. You still have to find a way to make money.

Thinking of the army, Lu Chen suddenly thought that arms were very valuable in China at this time. If I had a batch of arms...

Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately patted his head. Damn, that's right. If you go get a batch of arms and sell them yourself, wouldn't your own problem be solved?

Lu Chen was a little excited, but thought about the funds in his hand. Lu Chen was immediately discouraged, now that he had so little money in his hands. Maybe he can buy dozens of guns. This little amount of ammunition is not even enough to fill the gap between his teeth.

He thought, recalling the opportunities in his memory. Suddenly his eyes lit up. He remembered that Germany at this time was experiencing a shortage of supplies. In Germany at this time, even a loaf of bread could be robbed to the head.

Also, after Germany lost World War I, it suffered a major disarmament. There were originally more than a million troops in the army, but now only 100,000 can be retained. Then so many arms must be placed in warehouses. I am now taking the cloth and exchanging it with them for the moldy ammunition stored in the warehouse. They will definitely agree.

Lu Chen immediately became excited when he thought of this. He said to Fu Mingzhuo: "Manager Fu, do you know German?"

Fu Mingzhuo said with a smile: "I just came back from studying in Germany."

Lu Chen slapped his thigh excitedly and said, "What a coincidence, Manager Fu, I have an idea to transport our cloth to Germany and sell it. What do you think?"

Fu Mingzhuo thought for a while and smiled bitterly: "That's okay, but it will take us a month just to go to Germany. By the time we come back after selling the cloth, the factory has long been closed by the bank, and it may even be auctioned. "

Lu Chen said: "I will take care of the bank matter. Don't worry about it. You can help me find a cargo ship to Germany now. We will load the goods and set off tomorrow."

Fu Mingzhuo said quickly: "Okay, I'll do it right away."

Lu Chen suddenly thought that he only owed the workers a few hundred yuan. Now that he had money, it was better not to owe those workers any money. So he quickly stopped Fu Mingzhuo, then handed four hundred oceans to Fu Mingzhuo and said:

"Take the ocean and pay the workers their wages."

Fu Mingzhuo took Dayang in surprise, nodded and left the office.

Lu Chen thought of the solution and felt relieved.

Lu Chen thought of the solution and felt a lot more relaxed. As for how to sell the things after arriving in Germany, that is something that will be done after arriving in Germany. Don't worry about it now.

One problem that still needs to be solved now is the problem with the bank. The bank's debt needs to be postponed for two months.

Lu Chen felt that it wouldn't be a big problem. People in later generations would know that if you only owe the bank a small amount of money such as tens or millions. Then the bank must be the boss, chasing you every day to make you pay back the money.

If you owe tens of millions to the bank, or even billions like Boss Xu, then you must be the uncle. The people at the bank must be greeting you every day, for fear that you might accidentally do something wrong. We will also take the initiative to introduce some businesses to you.

I currently owe the bank more than 200,000 silver dollars. At this period, it must be no different from the tens of millions in later generations. If you go talk to someone at the bank about an extension, there should be no problem.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately stood up, picked up a phone record, and found the number of a person named Manager Zhao of the Central Bank. Lu Chen picked up the phone and called the number.

The operator soon transferred the call to Manager Zhao.

Lu Chen didn't have to wait long before a middle-aged man's voice came over the phone.

"Hello, I'm Zhao Dezhu, who are you?"

Lu Chen quickly said: "Hello, Manager Zhao, I am Lu Chen from Lu's Textile Factory."

There was a pause, and then the voice continued on the phone.

"Oh oh oh, it turns out to be Boss Lu. I wonder if Boss Lu has something to do with Zhao at this time?"

Lu Chen: "Manager Zhao, you should also have heard about the problems our factory has encountered recently."

The other end of the phone quickly interrupted Lu Chen and said, "Boss Lu, if you want me to help solve this matter, I can't do anything. After all, the Black Dragon Society is a small group of people. We can't control them. "

Lu Chen quickly explained: "Manager Zhao, you misunderstood. I didn't want to tell you about this. It's like this. I have had some funding problems in the past few months. I want to postpone the loan for two months before repaying it." , do you think it’s okay?”

Zhao Dezhu: "So that's what happened. It's okay. As a person like Boss Lu, I can trust you. Just two months for the extension. I'll say hello to the people below right away. Don't worry, Boss Lu, for these two months." Well, surely no one will urge you to repay your debt."

Lu Chen said quickly: "Thank you very much, Manager Zhao. I recently got a good watch. I will send it to you sometime for Manager Zhao to appreciate it."

Manager Zhao: "Okay, let's do that. I have something else to do. Let's talk about it later."

Lu Chen felt relieved again. Another thing has been solved. Now we just have to wait for Fu Mingzhuo to contact the ship.
