Chapter 235 Borrowing money, that's impossible
After learning that his two brothers were safe, Lu Chen relaxed his tense nerves. He planned to rest in the Philippines for a few days before returning to the United States.
That day, when Lu Chen was strolling around the factory, William came to the Philippines with someone he didn't expect.
When Hans reported to him, Lu Chen was very surprised. He didn't know what kind of person could make William make an exception and bring him to the Philippines.
Lu Chen finished his stroll and followed Hans to the town near the factory. They met William and his partner in a hotel with decent conditions.
Seeing the person coming, Lu Chen immediately frowned. Lu Chen was very dissatisfied with William. Why did William bring his life in the mountains to the Philippines? Isn't this exposing my old nest?
But Lu Chen did not show his dissatisfaction. He felt that he should give William some face in front of outsiders. He smiled and said to William:
"Why are you here with Mr. Yamanaka?"
William had just noticed that Lu Chen frowned, knowing that he must have made Lu Chen unhappy by bringing Shanzhong Erbi here. But he had no choice, Shanzhong Erbi had been urging him to get the goods every day. And because of the blockade in the Philippines, the goods could not be delivered at all. So he could only bring Shanzhong Erbi here to pick up the goods.
William said to Lu Chen with a wry smile:
"Boss, I really have no other choice. The company is out of stock. I can only take Mr. Yamanaka with me to bring the goods back."
Lu Chen thought about it and felt that what William said was indeed true. Now the blockade of the Magic City is very severe, and even American ships have to be inspected before they are allowed to pass. The goods produced by his factory really cannot be transported into the Magic City.
Fortunately, after a period of time, the two sides will cease fighting and the waterway will be restored. But there are always risks. Lu Chen knows that in a few years, this little country will go to war with China. In that case, it will be even more impossible to transport his own supplies into the Magic City.
Lu Chen thought about the solution in his mind. He estimated that the only way to get through China from Pakistan would be smooth. But there would be a problem. Pakistan borders China in Xinjiang, which is too remote. Then he could only go through Myanmar to Yunnan. But he couldn't say this idea now. He was still living in the mountains. If he said it, wouldn't it expose his transportation line?
After thinking for a while, Lu Chen smiled and said to William:
"Don't worry, William. This situation will not last long. I believe that the transportation line will be restored after a while."
After hearing this, William could only nod helplessly.
Lu Chen continued: "So, you came here just to pick up the goods?"
William nodded and said, "Yes."
"Do you need those goods?"
William thought for a moment and said, "Mechanical equipment and medicines."
Lu Chen nodded, "Okay, I got it, I'll have someone send it to you."
Seeing that William had finished talking about his own affairs, Shanzhong Erbi immediately smiled and said to Lu Chen:
"Lu Chenjun, I came here this time and I want to ask you for help with something."
Lu Chen looked at Shanzhong Erbi with some surprise. He didn't know if there was anything else he could do to help Shanzhong Erbi. Lu Chen asked:
"Mr. Yamanaka, you are the president of the Black Dragon Society in the Magic City, and you have a good relationship with the senior officials in your base. Is there anything else you need my help with?"
Shanzhong Erbi said, "Lu Chenjun, please don't flatter me. If it weren't for your help, how could I have established relationships with those high-ranking officials?"
Lu Chen quickly said, "This is all your own ability, Shan Zhongjun. It has nothing to do with me."
Shanzhong Erbi said, "Lu Chenjun, you are too modest. If it weren't for the magical pills you provided, how could I have come into contact with them? I am where I am today, all thanks to you, Lu Chenjun."
Lu Chen asked curiously, "Mr. Yamanaka, did you give these pills away? You know, this medicine is very scarce. Even if I use all my connections, I can only get about one kilogram a month. Don't give them to just anyone."
Shanzhong Erbi said, "Don't worry, Lu Chenjun, I will definitely not give them away randomly. I will only give them to the top leaders of our Black Dragon Society, such as our president and vice president. I will also give them to our Minister of Commerce, Minister of the Navy, and Minister of the Army. I will not waste those magical pills on other minions."
Good man, this Shanzhong Erbi is really amazing, he actually gave all the pills to these people. He is indeed a person who is determined to climb up. If you give some to your emperor, it will be great. In this way, the market for these little people will be opened directly. What the emperor loves, you little people should hurry up and buy it.
Lu Chen was in a very good mood now, and looked at Shan Zhong Er Bi with a smile. He asked enthusiastically:
"So what do you want me to do for you this time?"
Shan Zhong Er Bi said, "Mr. Lu Chen, I heard from our first generation that our Royal Navy is going to build a new batch of warships. Originally, they were going to build four battleships. But this time we lost two cruisers in China. So our military budget is a little insufficient. I would like to take this opportunity to help the Minister of the Navy with some money, so that my position may be promoted. I may even go directly to the military department. So I would like to borrow some money from you."
When Lu Chen heard that Shanzhong Erbi wanted to borrow money from him, the smile on his face disappeared instantly. What the hell, you're thinking too much when you ask me to lend you money. I'll lend you the money to build a ship, and then you can use the ship to bully China. I'm not that stupid.
But Lu Chen suddenly realized that China did not have a navy now. If Xiao Rizi worked hard to build ships, there would be no extra resources for the army. In this way, Xiao Rizi's army would have even less armaments. Wouldn't the pressure on the Chinese army be reduced?
Thinking this way, Lu Chen felt that it was not a bad idea to support Xiaorizi's shipbuilding. When Xiaorizi's navy becomes powerful, they will definitely give it to you when they beat up the Americans. After they hurt the Americans, they will definitely not just throw two big Ivans. Maybe the army will directly enter Xiaorizi.
If we can delay the Manhattan Project for a little longer and let the little ones launch the plan of suicide, that would be great. Or if we let the Russian bear implement the plan of detonating Mount Fuji, that would also be a good ending for the little ones.
But when he thought about paying money for Xiaozi, Lu Chen was unwilling to do so. But he was still happy to help Xiaozi find a way to trick his future Eagle father.
