1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

Chapter 182 Who gave you the courage to open a smoking den here?

After staying at home for a day, Lu Chen drove to his company early the next morning.

After half an hour, Lu Chen could already see his factory from afar. It had been several months since he left, and he had no idea what his factory looked like now.

Soon, Lu Chen stopped at an intersection. The road sign said that there was a checkpoint a hundred meters ahead, and everyone was asked to cooperate with the inspection.

Lu Chen was a little confused. When did a checkpoint appear here? Who were they trying to protect against by setting up a checkpoint here?

Lu Chen got back on the road, and sure enough, after a hundred meters, there was a roadblock. Seeing Lu Chen coming, a middle-aged man immediately came out and stopped Lu Chen's car.

"Hello, the area ahead is a private park. If you want to go in, please undergo inspection."

"Is the park in front a private park? Are you kidding? My factory is still inside. How can it be a private park?"

Lu Chen said to the person who stopped his car with some dissatisfaction.

The middle-aged man was shocked to hear Lu Chen say that he had a factory there. All the companies here were owned by the Lu family. He said that there was his company there. Could he be the boss who rarely showed up?

The middle-aged man asked tentatively:

"I don't know what your last name is, sir, and what kind of company you run there."

Lu Chen said impatiently: "My last name is Lu. I own the Lu Textile Factory, the Machinery Factory, and the Plastic Factory. Please get out of my way. I need to go in and do something."

It's really that boss who is hard to find. I stopped the boss's car. Did I offend the boss? What should I do? I hope I won't be fired. The middle-aged man said to Lu Chen with a worried look on his face:

"I'm sorry, sir. You have to wait for me. I'll call the company right away to confirm. If you are really my boss, I will naturally open the road card for you."

After a while, the middle-aged man came out again and shouted to Lu Chen:

"Boss, our manager asked you to answer the phone."

Lu Chen had no choice but to get out of the car and come to the pavilion next to the roadblock. Seeing Lu Chen coming, the middle-aged man immediately handed the microphone to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen took the microphone and said:

"I'm Lu Chen. Who told you to set up a checkpoint here?"

After confirming Lu Chen's identity, the other party directly said to the middle-aged man: "Lao Wang, this is Boss Lu Chen, please let him in."

The middle-aged man quickly said, “Hey!”

After confirming his identity, Lao Wang immediately opened the door for Lu Chen.

After passing the checkpoint, Lu Chen drove for another ten minutes before arriving at the gate of his factory.

During the ten-minute journey, Lu Chen found that there were many more buildings near his factory. Lu Chen nodded. He thought Fu Mingzhuo's efficiency was good. He built so many houses in just a few months. I just don't know if there are people living in them.

As soon as Lu Chen walked into the factory, Fu Mingzhuo came over with a stack of documents.

"Xiao Chen, you are finally back. These documents are waiting for your signature."

Seeing the document that was more than ten centimeters thick, Lu Chen swallowed his saliva. This is too much. He said to Fu Mingzhuo:

"Why don't you just sign these documents yourself? Why are you waiting for me to sign them?"

Fu Mingzhuo said speechlessly: "Boss, these documents are some legal documents and some financial documents that you must sign. If you don't sign, the tax bureau will come to talk to you later. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

"You should have told me earlier about the documents from the tax bureau. We can't afford to offend those people. Send the documents to my office and I'll sign them later."

Lu Chen explained to Fu Mingzhuo somewhat angrily.

After seeing Fu Mingzhuo asking someone to take the documents away, Lu Chen asked Fu Mingzhuo:

"Ming Zhuo, why is there an extra roadblock on the way to our factory?"

Fu Mingzhuo replied: "I asked someone to set it up, what's wrong with that?"

"Why do you set up a roadblock?"

Lu Chen asked curiously.

"What else can a roadblock be used for? It's just to block the road."

Fu Mingzhuo replied casually.

"Why are you blocking the road? It's so inconvenient to go in and out."

Fu Mingzhuo said, "If there is no checkpoint, do you know how chaotic it would be here? Some time ago, a group of people moved in from Chinatown, and one of them brought weapons in. Then there were several gunfights. Later we unanimously decided that no matter who the newcomers are, they cannot bring weapons into our place."

"Who started the gunfight? Have these people been arrested? Have they been punished? And did they accidentally hurt anyone else during the gunfight?"

When Lu Chen heard that a gunfight had broken out in his territory, he immediately became upset and asked Fu Mingzhuo several questions in succession.

"Boss, don't worry. Those who participated in the gunfight have been taken away by the Red Gate. As for whether there will be any punishment, that depends on the Red Gate."

Hearing that Hongmen had taken the person away, Lu Chen immediately became unhappy and questioned Fu Mingzhuo:

"Why should we hand the people over to the Red Gate? Why don't we handle it ourselves?"

Fu Mingzhuo obviously didn't expect Lu Chen to be dissatisfied with this matter. He explained:

"Xiao Chen, this is what happened. After we caught these people, people from the Red Gate came over immediately. They asked me to hand them over to them and they would deal with them. I thought we were all compatriots and there was no need to make things awkward, so I handed them over."

After hearing what Fu Mingzhuo said, Lu Chen immediately got angry. Damn, what does Red Gate mean? You didn't come out during the gunfight, but after the people were arrested, you immediately came out to rescue them. If these people have nothing to do with the people from Red Gate, Lu Chen would never believe it. Lu Chen even felt that this was a bit like a deliberate arrangement.

Lu Chen thought of his experience in the Philippines, and immediately wondered if someone in the Red Gate had a grudge against him and why they always came to cause trouble for him. He said to Fu Mingzhuo:

"What about the other people who moved here? How did you arrange for them?"

When talking about these Chinese, Fu Mingzhuo got angry and complained to Lu Chen:

"Xiao Chen, I think we should get these people out."

"why?"

Lu Chen looked at Fu Mingzhuo in confusion.

"These people are all idiots. After they came here, they not only did not look for jobs, but also secretly opened a smoking den. Many of our workers were taken to the smoking den by these people."

Lu Chen was really furious. Who gave them the courage to open a smoking den in his territory? Lu Chen said to Fu Mingzhuo:

"Call Eric immediately and tell him to have the people from the flood company bring their equipment and rush to us at full speed."

Fu Mingzhuo asked: "Xiaochen, what are you doing?"
