Chapter 238 The God of Wealth is coming
After thinking for a while, Lu Chen found that his talent pool was still too small and he couldn't find anyone suitable to go to Yangcheng and Nanzhao to take charge of the overall situation. So he simply gave up thinking about it. He decided to wait until he returned to the United States and let Fu Mingzhuo recommend two people to him.
In the following days, Lu Chen lived a relatively relaxed life. He began to travel around the Philippines. It was not until the end of March that Shan Zhong Er Bi came to the Philippines with a bald little boy.
As soon as the two of them got off the boat, Lu Chen received the news. So Lu Chen immediately stopped playing and rushed to Manila.
Lu Chen didn't plan to meet these two people near his factory this time. Firstly, this time he was talking about a big deal. It would be disrespectful to talk about it in the town. Even if his daily life was not worthy of respect, the money in his pocket was still worthy of Lu Chen's respect.
Another thing is that it is too close to his factory, so his base in the Philippines will be easily exposed. So Lu Chen chose to meet these two people in Manila.
Lu Chen came to Manila and first rented a ready-made manor. Then he booked a hotel for Shanzhong Erbi and the other two. Only then did he have someone contact the two of them.
Lu Chen had the two men from Shanzhong brought to the hotel. Lu Chen met them in a private room in the hotel.
As soon as Shanzhong Erbi saw Lu Chen, he said excitedly:
"Lu Chenjun, I reported the suggestion you gave me last time to the top management, and they agreed."
Lu Chen was very happy to have Xiao Rizi agree with his suggestion. But Lu Chen did not show it in front of Shan Zhong Er Bi. He smiled and said to Shan Zhong Er Bi:
"The top brass will definitely not agree to this so easily. Do they have any requirements?"
Hearing Lu Chen's question, Shan Zhong Er Bi was embarrassed for a moment. Then he pointed at the bald man behind him and said:
"Mr. Lu Chen, this is our Imperial Navy staff officer, Major General Masano Ikken. He will discuss the specific requirements with you."
Lu Chen nodded. Then he said to the bald man:
"Hello, General Masano."
Masano Kazuken looked at Lu Chen, nodded calmly and said in Chinese:
"Lu Chenjun, you are very good. Thank you for your help to the Imperial Navy this time."
When Lu Chen heard that the generals in their daily lives could speak fluent Chinese, he was impressed. Damn, these generals were really well prepared.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "This is all for the empire."
Masano Kazuken nodded with satisfaction and said, "I came here this time to tell you our navy's requirements for warships."
Lu Chen said seriously: "Please go ahead."
"First, we require the battleship to be around 20,000 tons."
Lu Chen immediately took out the small notebook he had prepared in advance and wrote down this request. About 20,000 tons, a battleship of this tonnage is a dreadnought. Damn, what is Xiaori doing? They don't have so much quota. Four 20,000-ton dreadnoughts, the total tonnage is directly 80,000 tons. Lu Chen remembered that Xiaori didn't have such a high quota.
After watching Lu Chen finish recording, Masano Kazuken continued:
"We require the speed to be over 35 knots. The caliber of the main gun must be over 300 millimeters."
Lu Chen also took note of this request, and then he asked:
"Any other requests, General Masano?"
Masano Kazuken continued, "We require the cruiser to have a tonnage of around 10,000 tons and a speed of over 40 knots."
Lu Chen continued to record the request. Then Lu Chen asked:
"Then General Masano, what is your estimated cost?"
Masano Kazuken said: "Our budget is $300 million. This is the price of two battleships."
Hearing the price Xiao Rizi offered, Lu Chen secretly swallowed his saliva. Damn, three hundred million US dollars, if I could just embezzle this money, it would definitely make Xiao Rizi suffer for a long time. But Lu Chen didn't dare to embezzle this money. Because this little money wouldn't hurt Xiao Rizi. It would only make them feel pain, and then desperately squeeze the value of Northeast China.
Lu Chen didn't want his life to ruin the place, so he thought for a moment and said:
"Three hundred million dollars? It's a little difficult, but we can still give it a try."
Masano Kazuken said with a smile: "If you, Lu Chenjun, can accomplish this, we will grant you the right to enjoy the treatment that only imperial citizens have within our empire without having to join our nationality."
Lu Chen really didn't expect to get such a benefit. With this franchise, he could openly set up a base in the Northeast. He could also sell medicine in South Korea.
Lu Chen quickly thanked him, "Thank you for the Empire's trust. I will definitely get this done. When will the Empire transfer the funds to my account?"
Masano Kazuken said, "We will transfer the funds to your company's account at Citibank in three batches. I will transfer 50 million to you after I return. After you sign the contract, we will transfer the second batch of funds, 150 million, to you. Finally, after we receive the battleship, we will transfer the balance of 100 million to you."
Lu Chen thought about it and realized that he could only get 200 million yuan. He would probably default on the last 100 million yuan. As soon as Xiao Rizi raised his butt, I knew what kind of shit he was going to pull.
But 200 million dollars is enough. As long as I operate it well, I will definitely be able to get the order. The United States is in this period now. If I give the United States an order of 200 million dollars at this time, those American shipbuilding companies will definitely rush to grab this order.
Not only that, Lu Chen can also get a considerable loan with these two orders.
After talking to the two young ladies, Lu Chen immediately arranged a sumptuous dinner for his God of Wealth. After dinner, Lu Chen also sent two Filipino beauties and a few pills to the two of them.
After arranging these things, Lu Chen returned to the company, and then he asked Li Qiang to tell his second brother and William that a large amount of funds would be transferred into the company's account at Citibank in the near future. He asked them to pay attention to the company's account and notify him immediately after the money arrived, and warned them not to touch the money.
Around April 10, Lu Chen received news from Shanzhong Erbi and William. Shanzhong Erbi told Lu Chen that the money had been transferred. William informed Lu Chen that a sum of money had been deposited into his account.
After receiving the news, Lu Chen immediately went to the bank and transferred the money into his personal account. Then he asked Hans and others to buy a boat ticket back to the United States.
On the morning of April 11, Lu Chen left the more than 100 people he brought with him in the Philippines to guard his factory. Then he took Hans and others on a cruise ship back to the United States.
