It was already the end of April when Lu Chen returned to the United States with his parents.
As soon as Lu Chen and his party got off the boat, Chen Jianghe and Fu Mingzhuo, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately saw them.
Fu Mingzhuo and the others hurriedly stepped forward, took the luggage, and led Lu Chen and others into the car.
"Lu Chen, should we go back to the manor or to the factory?"
Fu Mingzhuo asked.
Lu Chen originally wanted Fu Mingzhuo to drive back to the manor, but unexpectedly Father Lu spoke first:
"Mingzhuo, let's go to the factory first."
Mother Lu also agreed and said:
"Yes, take us to the factory first. Xiaochen said he opened a textile factory here. I'm going to see if he lied to us."
Fu Mingzhuo cast a questioning look at Lu Chen, and Lu Chen could only nod helplessly.
"Listen to them."
Fu Mingzhuo told the driver and asked him to go to the factory.
After the car started, Lu's father began to ask Chen Jianghe about Lu Chen's situation in the United States.
Chen Jianghe knew a lot about Lu Chen's affairs. He briefly explained to Lu's father everything from Lu Chen's purchase of grain in the United States to sold in Germany to Lu Chen's opening of a factory.
Of course, Chen Jianghe ignored all the fighting with others.
After Chen Jianghe finished speaking, several people also arrived at the industrial park. Father Lu nodded while looking at the factory in front of him.
"Not bad, not bad. You can build such a big factory in one year. You are very good."
The group of people got out of the car, and Lu Chen said to the two elders:
"Mom and Dad, I'll let Brother Chen take you around the factory first. Mingzhuo and I still have some things to discuss, so I won't accompany you."
Father Lu nodded and said:
"If you have anything to do, go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about us."
"Okay, then Brother Chen, I'll trouble you."
Chen Jianghe waved his hand and reassured Lu Chen that the two elders would just leave it to him.
After Chen Jianghe took his two elders to visit the factory, Lu Chen and Fu Mingzhuo came to the office.
After being away for a month, Lu Chen now really wants to know the current situation of the factory.
As soon as he entered the office, Lu Chen asked:
"Mingzhuo, how is the situation in the factory recently? Are there any problems?"
Fu Mingzhuo replied with a smile:
"Don't worry, the factory is doing well now and there are no problems."
"There's no problem. What about the order? It's been a month. How much have you produced?"
Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that there was no problem. He was really worried that those people from the Heaven and Earth Society would come to cause trouble again.
(But what he doesn’t know is that Sun Yuanlin has a lot of troubles of his own right now and has no time to trouble Lu Chen.)
"Don't worry, more than half of the order has been produced now. The workers have been working hard recently and the production efficiency has improved a lot. I estimate that we can complete the order in half a month. The delivery date will not be delayed. "
Lu Chen wondered, could it be that Fu Mingzhuo had raised the wages of these workers? That would have been a disaster. Raising wages at this time would offend all business owners in New York. he asked quickly.
"What's going on? Have you increased their wages? These Americans have actually improved their efficiency."
Fu Mingzhuo explained:
"Recently, a large number of factories in the United States have closed down, and many workers have become unemployed. They don't want to lose their jobs, so they naturally have to work more seriously."
It turned out to be like this. When he heard that there was no problem in the factory, Lu Chen became concerned about the situation in the laboratory again.
"What about the laboratory? What did Professor Qian En say after reading the information?"
Fu Mingzhuo said with a headache:
"He suggested that we invite Professor Fleming to come to us and study with him. He also said that only in this way can we produce results quickly. See if you want to go to the Commonwealth. Bring that Professor Fleming Please come here."
Get yourself to the Commonwealth now. Lu Chen was a little reluctant because he still had so many things to deal with in New York. Lu Chen said:
"Why don't you find someone to go to the Commonwealth, and I'll give you Fleming's address."
Fu Mingzhuo thought for a while and said:
"That's okay. Since you don't want to go, you can only find someone to go with."
"Anyway, you can arrange it as soon as possible. I am more optimistic about this research. I think this research can change the world."
Hearing what Lu Chen said, Fu Mingzhuo felt that Lu Chen's expectations for this research were too high. He thinks that these are not good, but they are still changing the world. Could this thing be more powerful than guns? Fu Mingzhuo said suspiciously:
"It's not that exaggerated."
Lu Chen didn't explain. After penicillin was developed, Fu Mingzhuo saw its effects. He will understand naturally. Lu Chen said:
"You don't have to doubt it. Once the research comes out and it is clinically verified, you will know its value."
After speaking, Lu Chen continued to ask:
"By the way, how's the factory expansion going?"
"You should have seen it when you entered the factory. Construction has started now. These construction teams have nothing to do now, so there are more people coming. It is estimated that the construction will be completed in two months."
Lu Chen thought for a moment, and then asked the question he was most concerned about:
"As for nylon, what's the result of the trial production? Is the equipment reliable?"
"This month's trial production was successful. Now Ibaka and the engineering staff are already designing equipment for formal production. According to Ibaka's estimate, the equipment they are designing now should have twice the production capacity of the experimental equipment."
Lu Chen thought for a while and decided to produce a few more sets so that he could produce thousands of tons a year. This kind of production capacity should be enough.
After Lu Chen and Fu Mingzhuo finished talking, Chen Jianghe also took Lu's father and mother to visit the factory.
Father Lu looked at Lu Chen with a pleased expression. His youngest son had finally grown up and no longer behaved mischievously. And he has accomplished such a big undertaking. He looked at Lu Chen and said:
"Xiaochen, you did a good job. Dad is proud of you. But you can't be complacent and you have to keep working hard."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Dad, I will definitely expand our Lu family's industry all over the world. By the way, Dad, Brother Chen told you, I am planning to build a textile factory here. "
Father Lu said excitedly: "I saw the new material you made, and the cloth weaved is really good. I just don't know how good it is at keeping warm."
"Don't worry, dad. If keeping warm isn't enough, can't we just add a layer of cotton inside?"
Hearing this statement, Father Lu nodded in agreement.
After visiting the factory, Lu Chen prepared to take his parents back to the villa, but his father and mother were unwilling to go back. They said to Lu Chen:
"We won't go back. I just saw that there are many Chinese in the factory. We can stay here."
Lu Chen quickly persuaded: "Mom and Dad, how can this be done? You should come back to the manor with me."
Chen Jianghe quickly whispered to Lu Chen:
"Xiaochen, please let your uncle and aunt live here. You have a lot of things to do in a day, and you don't have time to spend time with your uncle and aunt. Mingzhuo and I can take care of them here, and there are many Chinese here. It won't make them lonely. .”
Lu Chen nodded silently. Then he pulled Fu Mingzhuo aside and said to Fu Mingzhuo: "Mingzhuo, let the construction team build a villa here for my parents and you to live in."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements."
So the two elders stayed in the factory. After Lu Chen told Chen Jianghe to take good care of the two elders, he and Ike drove out of the factory and rushed back to the manor.
Lu Chen was thinking along the way that there are more and more unemployed people in the United States, and the public security is getting worse and worse, plus the people from the Tiandihui. The security at the factory needs to be tightened, otherwise Lu Chen would not feel at ease if his parents lived in the factory.
After Lu Chen returned to the villa, he called Qin Jian.
"Qin Jian, what do you think of your team's strength compared with Hans and the others?"
Qin Jian felt a little ashamed. There was a big gap between himself and the Germans in the last battle. He lowered his head and said:
"Boss, I'm sorry, our strength is indeed much worse than Hans and the others."
Lu Chen was still very satisfied that Qin Jian and the others could admit that they were no match for Hans.
"Since you have discovered it yourself, I will tell you frankly. I am going to let Hans and the others train you. Are you willing?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, we will definitely train seriously."
Lu Chen came to Hans again and said:
"Hans, I'm going to let you take a few people to train Qin Jian and the others. What do you think?"
Hans thought for a moment, shook his head and said:
"Qin and the others are pretty good, but they just lack actual combat experience. Simple training is no longer effective."
Lu Chen didn't want Qin Jian and the others to undergo ordinary training. He wanted to train Qin Jian and the others to become special forces for future generations. So he told Hans the training methods of special forces that he learned later.
Hans' eyes lit up after hearing this. He didn't expect Lu Chen to have such high military insights. He was very interested in Lu Chen's ideas. Then I discussed training methods with Lu Chen.
Finally, based on Lu Chen's ideas, Hans added a lot of opinions. Qin Jian's training plan has just been completed.
After the plan was completed, Hans felt that this training was of great help to them. So he decided to bring his team with him for training.
Lu Chen thought for a moment and simply joined the training himself.
Two months later, the training ended. Qin Jian and the others' combat effectiveness had been greatly improved after this training. Although they are still not as good as the special forces of later generations, Lu Chen feels that Qin Jian and the others should be much stronger than the army in their childhood.
Now Qin Jian's team has learned tactical coordination. The shooting level has also been greatly improved. Lu Chen now wished he could find someone to test the fighting power of these people.
