Chapter 223 Year-end Summary
Wu Xuance was surprised to hear Lu Chen's words. As for the affairs of the Yun family, they in Hongmen really didn't pay attention to them. He really didn't know whether the Yun family had a close relationship with Xiaorizi. But the person who could be on good terms with Chen Jiu should not be this kind of person.
Wu Xuance was somewhat suspicious of Lu Chen. He thought that Lu Chen might have said this on purpose because he had a grudge against the Yun family. So he smiled and said:
"That's impossible. How could a big family like the Yun family get involved with trivial matters? They are a big family with a lot of wealth. There's no need for them to get involved with trivial matters."
Lu Chen disagreed with Wu Xuance's words. As for Yun Qingchen and his son, what moral integrity do they have? Since I met them, they have been living a life of idleness. Now, it's even more so. They even changed their names to "Dog Yang". Lu Chen said sarcastically:
"As for the father and son of the Yun family, they would do anything for a little money. There is one thing you may not know, Boss Wu, Yun Yifan has changed his last name to Inugami and also joined the nationality of Xiaorizi. Not only that, Yun Qingchen also betrothed Yun Wanting to Xiaorizi named Ito Ryosuke."
After hearing what Lu Chen said, Wu Xuance said in confusion:
"No way?"
Lu Chen curled his lips and said, "If Gang Leader Wu doesn't believe me, you can check it yourself. Ito Ryosuke is the boss of the Yamato Textile Co., Ltd. in Texas. You can send someone to ask him whether Yun Qingchen has betrothed Yun Wanting to him. As for Yun Yifan's name, you Red Gate have great magical powers. It shouldn't be difficult for you to check a person's name."
After hearing Lu Chen's detailed account, Wu Xuance couldn't help but believe Lu Chen's words. He said, "Thank you for your reminder, brother Lu Chen. I will ask the brothers from Hongmen to investigate this matter when I return."
After Wu Xuance finished speaking, he didn't want to stay here any longer. He had to go back and tell Chen Jiu the information he got from Lu Chen. He couldn't let Chen Jiu be kept in the dark by the Yun family.
He stood up, said goodbye to Lu Chen in a hurry, and hurried back to the Huaqing Gang with his men.
After Wu Xuance left the reception room, Lu Chen also returned to his office. It was already the end of the year, and he had to summarize his company's past year and then discuss the company's development plan for next year with Fu Mingzhuo and Chen Jianghe.
After returning to the office, Lu Chen asked someone to call Fu Mingzhuo and Chen Jianghe to his office.
After the two arrived at the office, Lu Chen asked Fu Mingzhuo:
"Mingzhuo, it's already the end of the year. Can you tell me about our company's revenue this year and how the construction plans we made this year are going?"
Fu Mingzhuo took out a notebook, opened it and said:
"Our company has developed well this year, and has made millions in profits. These profits are generated by stockings and clothes. As for the profits from the Philippines, their year-end report has not been sent to us yet."
Lu Chen was very happy to hear that the company could still make a profit under such circumstances this year. Lu Chen nodded and said:
"We are still able to make a profit this year. The company is indeed developing well. This is all thanks to you, Mingzhuo, and Brother Chen. As for the others, I remember we also carried out some expansions. How are they going?"
Fu Mingzhuo said: "Although we are profitable this year, our expenses are not small. First we bought a large piece of land and then built a community. We also built two stadiums and more than a dozen apartment buildings. In addition, the pharmaceutical factory we built with the Douglas family in Los Angeles is about to be completed and is expected to be officially put into production in February next year."
Lu Chen couldn't help but feel happy when he heard that the pharmaceutical factory was about to be completed. Penicillin was the biggest source of future profits. The scale of the pharmaceutical factory in the Philippines was still too small. With the current efficiency of biological extraction, the efficiency of penicillin production was too low.
After listening to Fu Mingzhuo's report, Lu Chen looked at Chen Jianghe again. Chen Jianghe said:
"Our laboratory's achievements this year are pretty good. We designed a production line that can produce 10,000 tons of nylon per year. We also optimized the extraction of penicillin. As for the rifle you asked me to design, it has now passed most of the tests. It should be finalized in a month."
Hearing Chen Jianghe talking about the rifle, Lu Chen immediately asked: "Brother Chen, do you have a sample of that rifle now? Can you show it to me?"
When Chen Jianghe heard that Lu Chen wanted to see the gun, he immediately asked someone to go to his laboratory to get the sample gun.
Lu Chen looked at the gun in his hand, not knowing what to say. How should I describe this gun? It was a bit like a 20-shot gun with a longer barrel. Lu Chen took it in his hand and tried it. He felt that this gun was very awkward to use.
He thought about the shapes of famous guns in later generations. Then he compared them with the shape of the gun in front of him. He felt that the shape of the M1 carbine was somewhat similar to the shape of this gun. He felt that this appearance could still be saved. So he drew the shape of the M4A1 in "Cross Fire".
He said to Chen Jianghe:
"The shape of the gun you made is too ugly. Make it according to this shape."
Chen Jianghe looked at the sketch drawn by Lu Chen, thought for a while and said, "Is the shape like this? Let me try it."
Lu Chen thought about it again. He remembered that in the later generations, most gun shells were made of plastic. Now that he had made nylon, he should be able to use plastic to make gun shells. So Lu Chen said to Chen Jianghe:
"Brother Chen, you can also consider using nylon for the gun casing. This way the weight of the gun can be reduced."
Chen Jianghe said: "Nylon is so soft, how can it be used to make the shell? Also, nylon is not resistant to high temperatures. If the temperature of the gun barrel is too high, the nylon will melt."
Lu Chen said, "Try adding some fillers to the nylon, just like adding steel bars to concrete. This will increase the strength of the nylon. As for the temperature, this is a rifle. How high can the temperature be? The nylon won't melt."
Chen Jianghe's eyes lit up when he heard Lu Chen say to add fillers into nylon. If this could really increase the strength of nylon, then nylon could really be used as an outer shell.
Chen Jianghe said to Lu Chen, "Okay, I'll ask them to conduct experiments when I get back to see if they can increase the strength of nylon."
After finishing talking about the gun, this brief summary is considered to be the end of the report. Next, we should discuss the development of the company next year.
