Chapter 195 Wu Xuance's Collapse
After Lu Chen and Wu Xuance finished talking about Li Fugui, Lu Chen started talking about the Philippines.
Lu Chen asked Wu Xuance:
"Boss Wu, I wonder how much you know about the Red Gate personnel in the Philippines."
Wu Xuance smiled and said, "We only have one branch in the Philippines. It's called Qingmu Hall, and its leader is Wei Zhengyi. What's the matter, Brother Lu Chen, do you know anyone from Qingmu Hall?"
Lu Chen nodded and said, "I dealt with them once."
Wu Xuance smiled and said, "Wei Zhengyi is a very good person. He is very loyal and righteous. He is also very good to his subordinates. He is very famous in our Red Gate."
Lu Chen looked at Wu Xuance with a somewhat strange look. What do you want to say by praising Wei Zhengyi like this? He was right to attack me, but I have no loyalty and morality, so I deserved to be attacked.
Lu Chen started to feel unhappy when he thought of this, and his tone of voice also started to sound a little strange.
"So, you guys in the Red Gate still think highly of him?"
Wu Xuance nodded, "Yes, many elders have already supported him to enter the Juxian Hall of the Red Gate."
Lu Chen continued, "Then the weapons you bought from me last time were also shipped out of the Philippines through his hands?"
Wu Xuance nodded again and said, "Yes, he is the only force we have in the Red Gate in the Philippines, and he is the only one who can transport the weapons out."
As expected, it was not beyond Lu Chen's expectation. In this way, the weapons used by those who attacked him were indeed produced by his own factory. Lu Chen was even more upset now. You, the people from Hongmen, bought my weapons and used them to attack me. Lu Chen was very dissatisfied with this behavior.
He said in a somewhat angry tone:
"Have you told Wei Zhengyi that I sold you these weapons?"
Wu Xuance finally shook his head and said, "In order to keep it confidential, we did not tell Wei Zhengyi the identity of the seller."
Then Wu Xuance looked at Lu Chen with some doubt and asked:
"Brother Lu, why are you asking about these things all of a sudden? Are you in any trouble in the Philippines and do you need our help? I can introduce Wei Zhengyi to Brother Lu. If you need any help in the Philippines, just go to him directly."
Lu Chen said with a fake smile: "I did run into trouble in the Philippines, and it was you people from the Red Gate Qingmu Hall who caused me trouble."
Wu Xuance was confused. What? Qingmu Hall was looking for trouble with Lu Chen. What was going on? Wu Xuance asked tentatively:
“Brother Lu, is there any misunderstanding here? Why would Qingmutang come to you and cause trouble for you?”
Lu Chen found Wu Xuance's words a little funny and said sarcastically:
"So what you mean is that more than a hundred of you from Qingmu Hall attacked me with guns, and this is still my fault?"
Lu Chen's words made Wu Xuance freeze in his tracks. More than a hundred people from Qingmu Hall attacked Lu Chen with guns. What the hell was going on? What on earth was Wei Zhengyi doing? Didn't he know that Lu Chen was a US military officer in the Philippines? He led people to attack US military officers. Did he get kicked in the head by a donkey? Wasn't he afraid of retaliation from the US military?
Also, I am not here just to explain Li Fugui's assassination to Lu Chen. When I came here, Elder Hong also asked me to find a chance to buy some more weapons for Lu Chen. Damn, the Li Fugui incident hasn't been sorted out yet, and you, Wei Zhengyi, are involved again.
Just now Lu Chen asked whether the weapons had passed through Wei Zhengyi's hands. Could it be that Wei Zhengyi secretly intercepted a batch of weapons purchased from Lu Chen and then used the weapons to attack Lu Chen?
Shit, how can I talk to Lu Chen about buying weapons? You already attacked him with his weapons, how can he sell you weapons? No human being would sell you weapons. Why attack him with weapons after he didn't give them to you?
Wu Xuance looked at Lu Chen with a bitter face. He believed that Lu Chen would not joke about such a thing. He said to Lu Chen:
"Brother Lu, I will report this matter to Mr. Hong immediately after I return. We will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."
Lu Chen said: "Okay, I also believe that you, Hongmen, will give me a satisfactory explanation."
After saying this, Lu Chen thought about the incident at the tobacco shop again and asked:
"By the way, I won't pursue the matter of you opening a smoking den here this time. After all, I didn't tell you before. Now I'm telling you that smoking opium is not allowed here, let alone opening a smoking den. Don't send those who smoke opium to my place in the future. I won't accept them. Go back and tell this matter to Mr. Hong and Mr. He."
Wu Xuance immediately said, "I will tell the two elders when I return. Brother Lu, I want to apologize to you first. We really don't know what Wei Zhengyi did. I will go back and report this matter to the two elders now."
After saying that, Wu Xuance stood up from his seat, turned around and started walking outside. Lu Chen also stood up to see him off.
After sending Wu Xuance out of the factory, Lu Chen returned to the factory and began to think about how to develop his own factories. Now, due to Edith's backstabbing, the sales of his textile factory will definitely be greatly affected in the future. In addition, next year and the year after, that is, 1932 and 1933, are the two years with the most severe depression. At that time, his factory will definitely be affected even more.
I have to consider getting more stable orders for my factory. Thinking of this, Lu Chen thought of the army. But it is a pity that the United States now has only a few hundred thousand troops. You heard it right, the United States at this time only had a few hundred thousand troops. The size of his army is not even a fraction of Chiang Kai-shek's army. Chiang Kai-shek had about 2.2 million troops at this time.
Lu Chen thought about it and realized that this consumer group of more than 100,000 people was too small to support his factory. But Lu Chen suddenly thought of another group, that is, the police in the United States. There are quite a lot of people in this group. If he could get their clothing orders and then the clothing orders from the military, then his textile factory and nylon factory would definitely be able to survive well in the next two years. With an idea in mind, Lu Chen began to plan in his mind. After all, it is not an easy thing to get these orders.
