Lu Chen slept until noon before waking up. By this time, William had already led people to change fabrics in the warehouse.
Fu Mingzhuo was also helping. Seeing that Lu Chen woke up, Fu Mingzhuo quickly ran over and said:
"Boss, you are so awesome, you actually sold the cloth."
Lu Chen looked at Fu Mingzhuo with a proud face and said:
"Why, don't you think I'm a loser? I don't know who was there so early in the morning that he was madly scolding me."
Fu Mingzhuo scratched his head in embarrassment and said:
"Boss, that was my fault. I didn't understand the situation clearly. Stop teasing me."
Lu Chen glanced at Fu Mingzhuo, said nothing, and walked toward the people changing fabrics.
Fu Mingzhuo quickly grabbed Lu Chen and said to Lu Chen: "Boss, something is wrong. Why do these people come with only guns and no bullets? It's not easy to sell them if we just bring them back with guns but no bullets." "
When Lu Chen heard Fu Mingzhuo's words, he patted his head, and Lu Chen cursed in his heart. Damn it, I forgot about this, this gun without bullets is just a fucking fire stick.
Fu Mingzhuo saw Lu Chen's look and immediately guessed that Lu Chen must not have told anyone that bullets could be exchanged for guns. He chuckled to himself. I thought in my mind that if I asked you to show off, you would be an idiot now.
Lu Chen didn't speak to Fu Mingzhuo. He walked to William and whispered: "William, I forgot to tell you, in fact, bullets can be exchanged for cloth. I think 1,000 bullets can be exchanged for a piece of cloth."
William's eyes lit up, now it's good, the 20,000 pieces of cloth will definitely be sold out this month. The military logistics warehouse is full of bullets and stuff. In the past, in order to win a war, Germany was producing bullets at full capacity.
William said quickly: "Okay, boss, I will let the news out tomorrow."
At the end of the crowd, an old man with a big belly and some gray hair walked into Lu Chen's warehouse.
Seeing the person coming, William was surprised and quickly ran forward to say hello to the old man:
"Old chief, why didn't you say anything when you came, so that I could pick you up personally?"
The old man waved his hand and looked at Lu Chen and said:
"Young man, you are William's boss, right?"
After Fu Mingzhuo translated what William and the old man said to Lu Chen, Lu Chen walked towards the old man with a smile on his face. Said in English:
"I am William's current boss. My name is Lu Chen. I didn't expect that a distinguished guest would come to the door today. I didn't greet him well."
The old man also replied in English: "My name is Edinburgh, and I am now the commander of the Hamburg Port Security Army. I heard many people under my command tell you about you. I have nothing else to do here. I just want to do business with you. , I wonder if Boss Lu is interested."
Lu Chen quickly returned: "It would be my honor to do business with you, Mr. Edinburgh. I am definitely willing. I don't know what kind of business you want to do, Mr. Edinburgh, and how I can cooperate with you."
Edinburgh said: "I need 1,000 tons of grain, either wheat or corn. I can give you the arms you want, and you provide me with grain."
Lu Chen's eyes narrowed when he heard the smile. Lu Chen immediately nodded and said:
"I've done this business. I don't know what price you can offer, Mr. Edinburgh."
Edinburgh thought for a while and said: "Ten guns, or one Maxim heavy machine gun and two tons of grain. What do you think?"
Lu Chen pretended to be thinking, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll do Mr. Edinburgh's business. But it may take two months for the food to be delivered."
Edinburgh looked at Lu Chen's look and said with a smile: "Young man, don't act like you've suffered a big loss. The price is very fair. You should make a profit."
Lu Chen said sheepishly: "I didn't expect that Mr. Edinburgh could see my little thoughts at a glance. Sir, you are so awesome."
Edinburgh smiled and said to Lu Chen:
"When you reach my age and have a lot of experience, you will be able to tell what other people are thinking."
"Since you agreed, let me show my sincerity. I will eat all your fabrics. I will ask someone to bring the weapons to you tomorrow."
"And boy, you are a little clever, but your cleverness is mistaken for your cleverness. What's the use of just changing your weapons? Without bullets, these guns of yours can only be used as decorations. In this way, I will give you 100,000 for free this time Shoot the bullets, just think of it as a little gift from me."
After hearing this, Lu Chen quickly thanked:
"Thank you very much, Mr. Edinburgh, for reminding me, otherwise I would have made a fool of myself. In this way, I will also show my sincerity. I will give you, sir, a 20% discount on the food you bring next time."
Edinburgh nodded with satisfaction and then said goodbye to Lu Chen. Left the warehouse.
After Edinburgh left, Lu Chen took out four hundred dollars from his body and handed it to William:
"William, this is the reward I promised you. Keep it. It's really thanks to you this time. I don't know if you agree with my last proposal and help me sell goods for a long time."
William quickly took the US dollars and said: "Agree, I agree."
Lu Chen nodded and said:
"Since it is a long-term employment, the remuneration will definitely not be as high as the one I will give you this time. I can only give you a salary of 30 US dollars per month. I don't know if you agree."
William said with excitement: "I agree, I agree, the salary you gave is already very high. In Germany now, a weekly salary of 6 US dollars is already very high. The salary you gave is already far beyond this level. "
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Since you agree, that's fine."
Then Lu Chen said to Fu Mingzhuo:
"Manager Fu, you will draft an employment contract for Mr. William later. From now on, Mr. William will be one of our own."
Fu Mingzhuo nodded quickly.
Lu Chen turned his head and said to William:
"Well William, I have something to trouble you now."
William looked at Lu Chen and said, "If anything happens, boss, please tell me."
"You just heard that Edinburgh will eat all this batch of cloth and bring these weapons over tomorrow. I need a cargo ship tomorrow to transport the weapons back to Xia Kingdom."
William nodded and said, "I know, boss, I'll do it right away."
After saying that, William was about to walk out.
Lu Chen quickly stopped William and continued:
"William, don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet, I still have something to tell you."
William stopped to look at Lu Chen, waiting for Lu Chen's next words.
Lu Chen thought for a while and said:
"I also want you to help me hire a few more capable veterans who can speak English to escort the arms with me. The pay will be the same as yours."
"I know, boss, leave this matter to me, and I will definitely find the right person for you."
After saying that, William left the warehouse.
After Fu Mingzhuo waited for William to leave, he immediately said excitedly to Lu Chen:
"Boss, boss, we are in great luck. I didn't expect that we would gain so much from our visit to Germany this time. Not only has the company's financial problem been solved, but we have also reached a cooperation with Mr. Edinburgh."
Lu Chen waved his hand: "These are all basic operations. There is nothing surprising. Now that everything has been resolved, we can rest. When Mr. Edinburgh delivers the weapons tomorrow, we can go home."
After saying that, Lu Chen walked outside. It was already afternoon, and he was going to have lunch.
