1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

Chapter 329 You provide the technology, I provide the people, and I sell you the artillery

After a month, Lu Chen saw Shanzhong Erbi again, feeling a little excited. He estimated that Shanzhong Erbi would come to him again, and the equipment sale would probably be successful. Thinking that he would have another income, Lu Chen's mood immediately became cheerful, and he walked towards Shanzhong Erbi with a kind face.

"Hello, Mr. Yamanaka. I haven't seen you for a month. I missed you so much!"

Seeing Lu Chen greeting him, Shanzhong Erbi responded enthusiastically:

"It's been a while indeed. Brother Lu Chen is much more energetic than last time."

Lu Chen thought to himself, I must be more energetic when I see you, after all, it’s not often that someone gives you money.

Lu Chen enthusiastically brought Shanzhong Erbi into the hall. While ordering someone to serve tea to Shanzhong Erbi, he asked him:

"Mr. Yamanaka, you came here this time to talk to me about equipment, right?"

Shan Zhong Er Bi looked at the tea brought by the servant with a bad face. He didn't know why he couldn't hold his urine during this period. He even peed in his crotch a few times. So he tried to drink as little water as possible.

Lu Chen saw Shanzhong Erbi's expression change after seeing the tea, and thought that Shanzhong Erbi looked down on the tea he brought out. He quickly asked:

"Mr. Yamanaka, why don't you drink tea? I asked someone to get this good tea from China. Try it, it tastes pretty good."

Shan Zhong Er Bi quickly waved his hand and said, "No, I'm not thirsty now."

Then Yamanaka Nibi looked at Lu Chen and said, "After I went back to report to the higher-ups last time, General Araki Mafu was very interested in what you said. So he asked me to come and talk to you about the specific purchase matters. I wonder what weapons your arsenal can produce, Lu Chen?"

When Lu Chen heard Shan Zhong Er asking about his weapons, he immediately smiled. He introduced:

"My arsenal produces a lot of weapons. I can produce heavy machine guns, Mauser rifles, and our latest semi-automatic rifles."

"Let me tell you, the semi-automatic rifles we developed have been recognized by the US military, and they have decided to purchase new rifles from my factory. Do you want to buy some back as well?"

Lu Chen hoped that Shan Zhong Er Bi would purchase the new rifle he produced. This way, he could immediately recover a large sum of money. Chen Jianghe would also have enough funds to develop artillery.

Shan Zhong Erbi was somewhat dissatisfied after listening to Lu Chen's introduction. Why did Lu Chen's factory only produce rifles? Everyone knew that rifles were never the weapons that determined victory or defeat and killed the enemy on the battlefield. How could rifles alone compete with the Russian army? So he asked Lu Chen:

"Lu Chen, doesn't your arsenal produce artillery? General Araki wants to purchase some artillery from you."

Lu Chen thought about it in his head. The only artillery he could produce was 88 guns. If he gave this 88 gun to Xiao Rizi, wouldn't that be aiding the enemy? He was unwilling to sell this gun to Xiao Rizi. Lu Chen said to Shan Zhong Erbi with some embarrassment:

"Mr. Yamanaka, I'm so sorry, I really don't have any artillery here."

Shan Zhong Er Bi asked: "Is it impossible to give birth?"

Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "That's not true. The main reason is that we don't have the technology in this area. If we had the technology, our factory could still produce artillery."

After Lu Chen finished speaking, he looked at Shanzhong Erbi. He said this deliberately to see if he could get some artillery production technology from Shanzhong Erbi. You know, Xiaorizi's technology at that time was not very good, only one generation better than China. If Xiaorizi's technology could be brought back to China and handed over to China's military units, it would be much easier for them to digest it.

Shan Zhong Erbi glanced at Lu Chen and felt a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that Lu Chen couldn't produce artillery. If he couldn't purchase artillery, how could the troops they built compare with the Type A troops built by the ruling faction? Without artillery, they probably couldn't even compare with the Type B troops. He thought for a while and said:

"If you can't produce artillery, can you buy artillery in the United States?"

Lu Chen said: "If I buy artillery from other people, the price won't be as cheap as if I produced it myself."

"what is the price?"

Shan Zhong Er Bi asked.

"I estimate that a small-caliber mortar will cost four or five hundred dollars, and a large-caliber one will cost tens of thousands. If you want, I can help you purchase it."

Lu Chen answered casually.

After Shan Zhong Er Bi calculated in his mind, he found that the price of this artillery was much more expensive than that of his own country. At this price, it would be better to buy it from the arms dealers in his own country. If he bought artillery from the arms dealers in his own country, then the rifles and other things would definitely have to be purchased in his own country as well. Wouldn't that be the same as before? This made Shan Zhong Er Bi a little entangled.

Seeing Shanzhong Erbi's tangled expression, Lu Chen felt a little happy. He thought to himself, you think it's too expensive, right? If you think it's too expensive, just give me the technology, and I'll help you produce it, so the price will be lower.

Seeing that Shanzhong Erbi had not spoken, Lu Chen felt a little impatient. He said to Shanzhong Erbi:

"Mr. Yamanaka, if you want a cheaper price, I have an idea, but I don't know if you agree with it!"

Shan Zhong Er Bi said quickly: "What's your idea? Lu Chen, tell me."

Lu Chen said: "I don't have the technology to produce artillery here. If you can provide me with the production technology of artillery, then I can produce artillery. As long as I produce artillery here, I can supply artillery to you."

Shanzhong Erbi thought what Lu Chen said made sense, but he definitely couldn't make the decision on such a big matter. He had to go back and discuss it with his superiors, so he said:

"I think your idea is good, but I can't make the decision on this matter. I have to go back and discuss it with my superiors."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Okay, I'm not in a hurry here. Go back and discuss it and then come back to talk to me."
