1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

Chapter 319 Becoming an Auxiliary Police Officer

James was very happy to see Lu Chen take on the patrol mission. After all, with the help of Lu Chen's thousands of people, I believe that the number of people jumping and falling from buildings will be reduced. In this way, the pressure on him can be reduced a lot. Moreover, compared to regular police officers, the weekly salary of only 10 yuan is really cost-effective.

At this point, Lu Chen asked James some questions: "Mr. Mayor, if my people patrol the streets, do they have the same powers as the police? Also, do they need uniform equipment and clothing?"

James thought for a moment and then replied, "You can wear the uniforms of your security company, but you need to add a sleeve with the police logo on your coat to identify yourself. The police station will provide you with these sleeves."

Then, Lu Chen asked, "What about equipment? What weapons can our people bring?"

James explained: "You can only carry long guns. However, if your life is threatened, I allow you to shoot in self-defense. But remember, this is only for patrol missions."

When Lu Chen heard this, he was secretly delighted. This treatment was much better than the auxiliary police in later generations! He couldn't help but think of the auxiliary police in later generations. They had no power to shoot, and they might not even be able to touch a gun! Thinking of this, Lu Chen showed a hint of pride on his face.

James then continued to discuss some other details with everyone, and then the conversation ended successfully.

As soon as the conversation ended, Lu Chen couldn't wait to grab Feifuli and asked anxiously, "Uncle Feifuli, when are you going to fulfill the things we agreed on before?"

After a moment's thought, Favre replied, "You mean the police uniforms? Hmm... Let me ask someone to place an order for you. From now on, all police uniforms in New York City will be provided by your company."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was very excited and said quickly: "That's great! By the way, Uncle Feifuli, I have also developed a new rifle. Would you like to consider equipping it? Let me tell you, this rifle has been recognized by the military!"

Favouri's eyes lit up. A new rifle? This is possible! He thought about it and asked, "How much is your rifle?"

Lu Chen smiled slightly and replied calmly: "It's not very expensive, only one hundred and fifty dollars."

When Feifuli heard this, his eyes widened and he looked at Lu Chen in surprise. He said in disbelief, "What kind of gun is this? Why is it so expensive?"

Seeing this, Lu Chen quickly explained, "Uncle Fefuli, this rifle is expensive because it has its own unique features. First of all, it is an advanced weapon that can fire continuously like a submachine gun, which is completely different from the traditional bolt-action rifle that needs to pull the bolt to fire a bullet. In addition, it also has the function of a rifle and can fire single shots. Moreover, you only need to pull the bolt once to easily fire the bullets in the magazine one by one. Isn't such a powerful and flexible design worth the one hundred and fifty dollars?

 …”

Lu Chen explained to Fefuli the advantages of the new rifle, including accuracy, range, and rate of fire. Fefuli's eyes lit up and he was full of anticipation. After Lu Chen finished his introduction, Fefuli immediately said to Lu Chen:

"Okay, I'll buy fifty of them first to try out the results. If they're as good as you say, we'll buy more from you."

When Lu Chen heard that Feifuli wanted to buy some guns to try, he immediately felt relieved. He knew that once Feifuli tried these guns, he would definitely praise them highly. After all, this was his brother Jiang He's masterpiece, and he was fully confident of its performance. Moreover, so far, he had not received any feedback about the quality of this gun. Everyone who had used this gun praised it highly, which made Lu Chen very proud.

Lu Chen smiled and said to Feifuli, "Uncle Feifuli, don't worry! People who have used this gun say it's good. It will definitely be useful if you buy it back."

After dealing with Fei Fuli, Lu Chen immediately walked out of the city government. He wanted to take this opportunity to talk to Hongmen.

However, when Lu Chen walked to the door, he was stopped by the mayor's secretary. He looked back and saw the mayor's secretary walking towards him quickly. Lu Chen muttered to himself, wondering what the secretary wanted to talk to him about. Did the mayor want to see him? Or did he have something else important to tell him?

"Mr. Lu Chen, please wait a moment. The mayor wants to see you."

Lu Chen was walking in the corridor when he was suddenly stopped by someone. He turned around and found that it was the mayor's secretary. Hearing that James was looking for him, Lu Chen was a little confused, but he decided to follow the secretary back to the mayor's office.

After entering the office, Lu Chen saw James sitting at his desk busy with a serious expression on his face. When he saw Lu Chen coming in, James immediately stood up to greet him and warmly asked him to sit down.

At James's invitation, Lu Chen sat on the sofa next to James. James smiled and said to Lu Chen:

"Mr. Lu Chen, what is the matter that brought you here to see me?"

Lu Chen was stunned, then quickly explained: "Mr. Mayor, I was actually going to see Director Fei Fuli today, but I heard that he was here, so I came to see him."

James asked curiously, "What do you want from Chief Fefferi?"

Lu Chen said, "It's just some small matters. I have just discussed it with Director Fei Fuli. Mr. Mayor, what is the matter when you asked me to come here?"

James thought for a moment and said, "Didn't you want to buy land in Lower Manhattan before? Now there is an opportunity. I wonder if you are interested."

Of course Lu Chen wanted to acquire the land in downtown Manhattan, but his company was short of operating funds, so where would he get the spare money to buy land? Lu Chen said helplessly:

"Mr. Mayor, I definitely want those plots of land in Manhattan, but my funds are all gone. I don't have that much money to buy them."

James smiled and said, "Don't worry about the funding. I can help you find a solution."

Lu Chen frowned. What did James mean? He was so kind as to pay for him. Maybe there was some trap. Lu Chen thought he should find out the truth first. So he asked:

"Mr. Mayor, I'm sure you won't help me for nothing. If you have anything you want me to do, please tell me first so I can see if it's worthwhile."
