Chapter 333 Dio's Visit
Chapter 333 Dio's Visit
The next day after talking to Dio on the phone, Lu Chen deliberately did not go to the construction site and waited for Dio at home. Finally, in the afternoon, Dio drove his newly replaced black T-model car to Lu Chen's place.
When Hans saw Dio coming, he immediately asked someone to notify Lu Chen, then he took Dio into the villa and came to the living room.
When Lu Chen saw Dio and the others, he felt a little unhappy. Damn, I've been waiting for you for a long time. What the hell. But Dio didn't seem to be able to tell Lu Chen's mood at all. As soon as he entered the hall, he immediately smiled and said:
"Lu Chen, long time no see. I brought the person you were looking for here for you."
Lu Chen nodded, and then looked at the person Dio brought. The man was wearing a suit and followed Dio casually. Lu Chen didn't see any trace of a soldier in him. This made Lu Chen even more unhappy.
"Damn, it's been a long time since you retired from the army, how come you don't look like a soldier at all?"
Lu Chen couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Seeing Dio approaching him, Lu Chen quickly asked them to sit down on the sofa. Then Lu Chen asked the servant to prepare two cups of coffee for Dio and the other man, and then asked Dio:
"Mr. Dio, where did you come from and why did it take you the whole morning?"
Dio heard Lu Chen's dissatisfaction and quickly explained:
"It's all because of you that we had to meet today. You don't know that Rubio and I flew from California early in the morning to come to you. It's great that you can arrive at this time."
Lu Chen thought about it. It really took a long flight from California to New York. Spending a morning was not a long time. If they could reach New York in this time, it would not be considered as delay. They would have to arrive without any delay on the road to arrive in this time.
So Lu Chen said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, drink some coffee to relieve your fatigue."
Then Lu Chen yelled at the servants: "What are you doing? Why don't you bring the coffee?"
Dio rolled his eyes at Lu Chen and said, "No need. You're in a hurry, so why don't you talk to Rubio first and then have some coffee."
Lu Chen smiled apologetically and said, "Although I do have something urgent to do, I still have time for you to drink coffee. Don't worry, drink it. It won't delay anything."
Soon the servants brought a few cups of coffee and placed them in front of Dio and the others. Dio picked up the coffee, took a sip and said to Lu Chen:
"By the way, what's the urgent matter that requires me to arrange a meeting between you and Rubio?"
Lu Chen did not intend to hide it from Dio, and explained with a wry smile: "It's just a matter of receiving the warships. The first batch of two frigates will be delivered to me in a month or two. I am so anxious."
Dio looked at Lu Chen in surprise and said, "What? The ship will be ready in a month or two! You asked that shipyard to take the order. A ship of more than 10,000 tons was built so quickly. Could it be that they cut corners?"
Lu Chen said: "That's not the case. I still believe in their integrity. Besides, after the warship is built, it will have to undergo sea trials and the navy of Xiaori will have to inspect it. If there are any quality problems, Xiaori will definitely not accept it.
Even if there is a quality problem that Xiao Rizi can't find, as long as Xiao Rizi accepts the goods, it has nothing to do with me. Why should I care so much about it? "
Dio smiled and said, "You are right. It's easy to use warships. Even if there are any problems, it won't harm you."
"No, I'm just a middleman. I don't know anything about warships. As long as the shipyard is confident that it can survive, no matter how they build the ship, it has nothing to do with me."
After saying that, Lu Chen looked at Rubio and said, "You said no, Mr. Rubio."
Lu Chen's sudden question made Rubio a little confused. He didn't really agree with Lu Chen's statement, so he didn't know how to answer Lu Chen at this time. He looked at Dio, then at Lu Chen, and said with some stammering:
"Ah... this... this..."
Dio smiled and said to Rubio:
"Just say whatever you want to say. Lu Chen is not such a petty person who will not tolerate other people's opinions."
Then Dio said to Lu Chen: "I'm right, Lu Chen."
Lu Chen nodded and said to Rubio with a smile: "If you have any different opinions, just speak up. I am a very democratic person."
"Then I'll tell you."
Lu Chen nodded, "Just tell me."
"I don't agree with your approach, Mr. Lu. I think that since we have accepted this job, we should do it well. Otherwise, how can we live up to the trust others have in us?"
Lu Chen said: "I agree with what you said, but I think I am already doing this seriously. You see, the shipyards I chose are all very powerful shipyards. And I also said that I don't know anything about shipbuilding, so when I receive the ship, I will let Xiao Rizi come to inspect the ship himself. Professional matters are left to professionals. Isn't this very responsible?
Besides, I am preparing to receive the warship. It is because I want to take this matter seriously and do it well that I asked Dio to introduce you to such a professional. How can you say that I didn't do my job well? "
Rubio didn't know how to refute Lu Chen's sophistry, so he remained silent after listening to Lu Chen's words.
Lu Chen glanced at Rubio and was a little pleased to see that he didn't say anything. He then continued:
"I asked you to take over the warship this time, not only to ask you to drive the warship to the designated sea area, but also to help me control the quality of the warship. After all, I don't want to see the warship sink just after you drive it out to sea."
Rubio said: "That's no problem. I will definitely help you, Mr. Lu, to keep a close eye on it. If there is any problem with the warship, I will report it to you, Mr. Lu, as soon as possible."
Lu Chen nodded and continued, "Also, I'm really busy here, so I'll have to trouble you to find other operators for this warship. You can decide on the salary, as long as it's not too outrageous, I can accept it."
Rubio said: "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely get this done."
