Chapter 70 The Nature of the Jew

Saxon put on his nose glasses and read the Linxi newspaper carefully. He looked unmoved, while Victor Shason, who was beside him, almost stared at his father first, and then Henry McCauley. The anger in the young man's expression made Henry look in his eyes and happy in his heart.

Henry, who was sitting in the chair, looked at Sassoon's disapproval appearance. Instead, he put up his legs, bit the ivory cigarette holder, and said vaguely.

"Mr. Shasun, please allow me to express my personal sympathy for you. I think you are the first class to be teased by the Orientals since the appearance of the Shanghai Concession."

Henry's ridicule only made Victor snort coldly, but slowly restrained his anger in his heart!

Although Sassoon knew Henry's intention and did not want to show his anger in front of him, Henry's now proud look and behavior made him more disgusted, even more than the disgust of Chen's lame.

Well, Henry's words made Sassoon, who had been holding his anger in his heart, find the object to vent, and agreed sarcasmically.

"I think that McCauley's business is deserted now, and you have nothing to do, otherwise you won't talk like a woman here!"

How could Henry not hear the anger in Sassoon's words, so he answered a very heavy sentence.

"Even if McCauley's ocean trip is light, it won't be teased by the Orientals!"

Saxon took off his nose mirror, raised his pointed chin, and smiled at Henry.

"Maybe! But at least for the Orientals, Sassoon Ocean is a Sassoon Ocean! As for McCauley..."

Instead of continuing, he turned his eyes to the newspaper. Henry, who was almost on fire, saw that Sassoon's hands almost to tear the newspaper, so he shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands to both sides.

"Old Sassoon left Shanghai! I want to be there in the future... McCauley, always!"

With that, he jumped briskly from the chair.

Shasun knew that he was leaving, so he said something.

"Henry, if your foreign bank needs any help, just send someone to say it! We are friends, aren't we?

"Thank you!"

Henry answered very simply!

"If Sassoon Yanghang needs help, I will be obliged!"

After saying that, Henry, who was in a good mood, had a body of nearly 200 pounds, turned around lightly and stepped out. He looked so proud that he didn't whistle in his mouth.

At this time, Victor couldn't stand it any longer. He poohed at the door and raised his finger to scold.

"This Henry, in addition to wanting to see our jokes, is that he can't get along with us in business. He doesn't think about it. If our foreign medicine office hadn't allocated him an opium quota at a fixed amount, could this waste McCawry Ocean Bank survive until now?"

"No, you can't underestimate him!"

Sassoon coldly denied it, put down the newspaper in his hand, and then looked at his son carefully.

"Vikerto, remember, don't show your anger at any time. Your anger will only let your enemies take advantage of it! If Henry is a waste, then his McCauley Ocean Bank relies on not only a quota of more than 500 boxes of opium. Last year, McCauley Ocean Bank made a profit of more than four million yuan in addition to foreign medicine, far more than the profits of opium. The waste in your mouth can control opium, real estate, and business with us. To this point, it can be seen that compared with him, we are a bunch of waste in this respect.

After teaching his son, Shasun sighed with resentment.

"Like what he said, I never thought that it would be a Chinese who destroyed all my plans, and he was also a squeak!"

It's false to say that there is no anger in his heart. He planned for a whole year for the stocks of the gold and diamond mines in South Africa. What's the result? In the end, the lame man intervened and lost a lot of money. After calculation, he lost hundreds of thousands of yuan. Originally, in his opinion, if he got those stocks, even only 20% of them, it would be enough for the Sassoon family to get rid of their dependence on opium. After all, European countries have been drug-drug for several years, and opium has taken too much wealth from China. The industrial communities of Britain, the United States and other countries believe that the opium trade seriously affects their industrial sales. Once an anti-drug agreement is reached with the great powers, it will only happen sooner or later.

Although the real estate profit is high, it is always limited. The Sassoon family can't rely only on real estate, South Africa's gold mine and diamond mine stocks... Unfortunately, now, there is no chance. It's all the cripple who disrupted his overall plan!

Thinking of Sassoon's fists, hatred gathered in his eyes, and even his breathing was a little aggravated.

"Dad, we can pass through the Chinese government..."

As soon as Victor opened his hand, Sassoon shook his hand.

"Vickert, do you know why he told us all this? Is it just to laugh at me?"

The father's rhetorical question made Victor meditated calmly.

"I don't think it should be that simple. According to Henry's means, he should want us to have a direct conflict with Chen Moran in order to benefit from it!"

Seeing that Victor could think calmly, Sassoon nodded with satisfaction.

"If we go straight to fight directly with the lame now, it is equivalent to letting Henry, a poisonous snake, get what he wanted. The squidling has just come to Shanghai, and at the beginning,..."

Thinking about his past evaluation of the cripple, Shasun couldn't help laughing at himself in his heart. In his heart, he is very curious about Chen squeal. The Sassoon family is very rich. In the past 20 years, only through the opium trade monopolized by the foreign medicine company, it has brought tens of millions of yuan to the profit of Sassoon foreign bank. But even so, he took out tens of millions at a time, and he was afraid that he would hesitate for a long time.

But the slyling Chen can buy a house with the money to help Catherine tide over the difficulties like opening a gold mine.

"What I'm more interested in now is how much money he has! You know, now alone, he has taken 10 million, which is more than 1 million pounds. Even if we want to take out one million pounds at a time, I'm afraid it will take some time to prepare, but..."

Before he finished speaking, Sassoon frowned and pondered for a while before he began to speak.

"If I remember correctly, Catherine used silver dollars and half dollars to deal with the run! And that woman exchanged silver dollars in U.S. dollars in Hong Kong.

Before Victor could speak, Sassoon seemed to be talking to himself.

"It can also be seen from this that Chen Lime came back from the United States. If I expected well, he should have liquidated his assets in the United States when he returned to China this time. We don't know how much money he has, but at least he has a lot of cash in his hand! It's a little unwise to have a direct conflict with him.

Although he said so, Shasun's heart was unwilling. No one in Shanghai knew that since the day Shanghai opened, Shanghai belonged to the Abraham family. Whether it was the old Shasun or his new Shasun, the fact that Shanghai was the Abraham family remained unchanged, but now This Chinese, who drank some milk in the United States and wanted to return home, slapped him in the face as soon as he stepped into the territory of Shanghai. How could he be willing?

"Didn't Charlie always think about Catherine? Victor, you tell Charlie the news through other people, from Fuli Manor to Huisheng Bank, and then check by the way. Is there any connection between Catherine and the squeam except Ji Li? In short, let Charlie test it first!"

As a Jewish merchant, Sassoon has never known what friendship or affection is. Nothing is more important to him than interests. Although Charlie was his friend when he first went to Shanghai and helped him many times, at this time, he did not mind letting Charlie rush ahead. Friends and Jews never If you have friends, the only thing you have is interests.
