After the old man left, Lu Chen and Lu Jiaming returned home together.
Father Lu immediately came over and asked, "Jia Ming, you are back. Where is your army commander? Why didn't he come back with you?"
Lu Jiaming smiled and said, "The commander has gone back."
Father Lu was startled when he heard that the military commander had returned. He also wanted the military commander to stay at home for one night, and he also sent some things to the military commander.
Let the military commander take care of his son and stop Lu Jiaming from going to those dangerous places.
Mother Lu asked again: "What about you? You don't have to leave today."
Lu Jiaming smiled and said, "I don't have to. I will stay with you at home for a few days and return to the army in three days."
After hearing Lu Jiaming's answer, Mother Lu was obviously relieved.
Then the family sat in the living room and chatted about home affairs.
Lu Jiaming asked: "Mom, last time I was at home, you said you wanted to arrange a marriage for Xiaochen. Have you found a suitable family?"
When Lu Chen heard that his family was actually planning to get him engaged, he quickly pricked up his ears and listened.
Mother Lu glanced at Lu Chen and said, "We have taken a fancy to a girl, that girl from the Feng family."
Lu Chen looked confused, the Feng family, that Feng family. My memory has no memory.
Lu Jiaming frowned and said, "Are you talking about that girl from Feng Jingyao's family, Feng Chengcheng?"
Mother Lu nodded and said, "Yes, it's Cheng Cheng. I think that girl is pretty good and well-educated."
Lu Chen felt that the name "Feng Chengcheng" was very familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere. But I just can't remember.
Lu Jiaming said: "Feng Jingyao is a gang leader. Being married to his family will have a bad influence on us."
When Lu Chen heard "Feng Jingyao", he felt that the name was also very familiar. Where the hell have I heard this before? Why can’t I remember it? Lu Chen was a little upset. This was a life-long event for him, so why couldn't he remember it?
Mother Lu continued: "That was in the past. Now Feng Jingyao is a well-known person in Shanghai. Even in those small days, I had to give him some face."
Lu Chen couldn't hold it back anymore and asked, "Brother, who is this Feng Jingyao? According to you, this person is very powerful."
Lu Jiaming said disdainfully: "He is just the leader of the Qing Gang in Shanghai, a gang member, nothing special."
Lu Chen heard "Qinggang" and "Longtou", and then thought of the names Feng Jingyao and Feng Chengcheng. He finally knew why he heard the names of the Feng family so familiar.
Lu Chen cursed in his heart, Damn, where did I wear it? Why do all the characters in "Shanghai Beach" appear? If you ask me to marry Feng Chengcheng, why don't Brother Qiang bring Ding Li and his gang to hack me to death?
No, I can't marry Feng Chengcheng. Lu Chen said quickly: "Mom, I'm right. I'm an army officer now. If our family marries a gang member, it will have an impact on my brother's career. I can't marry that Feng Chengcheng."
Mother Lu glanced at Lu Chen and said, "Don't worry, others don't look down on you at all. This marriage has not been agreed."
When Lu Chen heard this, his heart dropped. I don't have the guts to steal a woman from Brother Qiang. Lu Chen was secretly glad.
When Lu Jiaming heard that the Feng family actually looked down on his younger brother, he felt a little unhappy and said:
"This Feng Jingyao seems to be looking for an opportunity to attack the Qinggang."
After staying in the living room for a while, Lu Chen felt that it was not interesting, so he returned to his room. Now I have solved the financial problem in the factory.
Now, even if work is not started every month, Lu Chen can still maintain the factory.
Now we need to solve the problem of raw materials and let the factory resume production. Thinking of this, Lu Chen got a headache again. According to Lu's father, he was still the main supplier of this factory these days. Lu Chen was always reluctant to buy things for his childhood.
Lu Chen thought about invading China in a few more years. Even less willing to help others do evil. If you buy Xiaosheng's things, aren't you helping Xiaosheng make weapons to beat yourself?
"It seems that we have to find another raw silk supplier. I heard that the United States has a good industry at this time and is also an exporter of raw materials. It seems that I have to go to the United States to see if I can find a new supplier there."
Lu Chen murmured to himself. Then Lu Chen thought about the Black Dragon Society again.
On the surface, this Black Dragon Society is a martial arts gym, but in fact it is a gang organization and espionage organization. My own factory was targeted by these people. Although there are big brothers now protecting the factory, these people have many tricks. Now just making trouble in those shops almost makes the factory bankrupt.
Lu Chen had a headache, he still had to deal with the Black Dragon Society. But now that I am a businessman, how can I deal with these people?
Suddenly Lu Chen thought of the Qing Gang, Brother Xu Wenqiang, and Ding Li. When I watched "Shanghai Bund" before, Brother Qiang was a staunch anti-Japanese activist.
"It seems I still need to get in touch with Brother Qiang."
Lu Chen sighed.
The next day, Lu Chen took 125,000 US dollars from his money box and went out early in the morning. He has to pay back the money he owes the bank first. This will be more convenient when you go to the bank next time.
Lu Chen found Manager Zhao at the bank. Zhao Dezhu saw Lu Chen coming in person. He quickly stood up from his position.
Invite Lu Chen to sit down in the office.
"Why did Boss Lu come to see Zhao in person? If anything happens, just let me know."
Lu Chen took out the US dollars he had prepared and handed them to Zhao Dezhu:
"Manager Zhao, this is the money my factory owes the bank. I brought it to you."
When Zhao Dezhu saw that it was US dollars, he took the money with a smile and said:
"Boss Lu was so polite that he actually sent the money over in person."
Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "Originally, it was promised that it would be two months, but now it has been two and a half months before I sent it to you. I was a little embarrassed, so I brought the remaining money and paid it back."
Zhao Dezhu said quickly: "With the reputation of the Lu family, there is no problem even if it is delayed for another two months."
Lu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "I just have enough funds now, so I'll pay it back first. By the way, I'm here today, and I actually have some things I want to ask Manager Zhao for help with."
Zhao Dezhu said quickly: "I don't know what Boss Lu has to do. As long as I find someone who can help, I will definitely help."
Lu Chen said casually: "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want to buy a batch of grain recently, but I don't know the grain merchant. Manager Zhao, you have contact with many people in the bank, so I want Manager Zhao to help you." I’ll introduce some grain merchants.”
Zhao Dezhu said doubtfully: "With Boss Lu's family background, he must know many grain merchants. If you need my help, Boss Lu, you are kidding."
Lu Chen said helplessly: "Mr. Zhao, you must also know my status in my family. I want to make a lot of money on my own. I don't know many people. I'm afraid only Manager Zhao can do this." It helps.”
Manager Zhao thought for a moment and said, "As a grain merchant, I actually know some people. I'll find a time to organize a dinner party and introduce them to Boss Lu."
Lu Chen took out a hundred dollars from his pocket, handed it to Manager Zhao and said, "Thank you so much, Manager Zhao. This is a small gesture, please accept it."
Manager Zhao quickly declined: "Boss Lu, that's it. You don't have to do this."
Lu Chen said quickly: "Manager Zhao, you are too outspoken. This is just a little care. Please don't refuse."
Lu Chen stuffed the money into Zhao Dezhu's arms and said goodbye quickly: "Manager Zhao, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Without waiting for Zhao Dezhu's reaction, Lu Chen left the manager's office.
After leaving the bank, Lu Chen went to another bank in Shanghai, Citibank. Lu Chen is planning to open an account here. After all, he has to go to the United States to find suppliers. Deposit the money in Citibank and it will be convenient to use it in the United States.
Opening an account is quick and all you need is some money in the bank. After opening the account, Lu Chen was ready to rush home.
But what Lu Chen didn't notice was that he was being targeted as soon as he stepped out of Citibank.
