"In other words, the Xi family really developed after my grandfather Xi Suheng succeeded Shen Eryuan. You all know the names of Sassoon and HSBC, Shen Eryuan is the first comprador of Sassoon and Bank, and my grandfather changed his name to Shen Ji after he succeeded him, and Sassoon became one of the four major foreign companies from scratch, and Shen Eryuan made a great effort. Naturally, his income is also good...... "Huang Shuxian said.

Sassoon is an accomplice of the robbers of country Y, and he deserves to have no son...... Jia Lei muttered quietly.

Shen Eryuan also knew that he was deeply sinful, and he didn't want to have a son in this life, so he passed my grandfather over. Later, my grandfather followed him as a comprador in Sassoon & Co., and after Xi Zhengfu became a second-class member of the Qing Dynasty, our family really got rid of the merchant class and became a top wealthy family in Southeast Asia. Huang Shuxian said.

Since Xi Zhengfu became the chief comprador of HSBC, he has shown extraordinary financial ability and courage.

Since then, the Qing government has borrowed 17 loans from HSBC, most of which were handled by Xi Zhengfu, who received a large amount of commissions.

"You are young and don't know how powerful Xi Zhengfu was back then, once the foreign manager of HSBC in Mingzhu City quarreled with him, Xi Zhengfu said in a fit of anger that he wanted to resign, and the people from the head office of HSBC fired the foreigner manager overnight and invited him back. Charles Victor sighed when he heard this.

When my grandfather was alive, Mingzhu was a financial circle, and even the foreign banks had to give the Xi family a few points, and all foreign-funded banks and domestic banks had the final say from the Xi family! That was the time when the Chinese people had the highest status and the most proud in the international financial circles. Huang Shuxian said proudly.

"But I still don't understand why Xi Zhengfu is so confident! He actually dared to quarrel with his boss? Wasn't the status of foreigners very high at that time?" asked the little Jew.

If HSBC dares to fire Xi Zhengfu, then he will be able to take all the loans of the Qing government to other banks as soon as he turns his head! Do you know how much money it is?" Huang Shuxian said with a sneer.

"Three generations of the Xi family have been compradors at HSBC for more than half a century, and the newly established HSBC banking industry has become the largest and most reputable bank in the Far East. From the Qing government in 1874 to the Kuomintang government in 1927, HSBC provided a total of 82 political and industrial loans to the Chinese government, totaling more than 350 million taels of silver! You must know that according to the rules of the time, compradors could take at least 3 to 5 percent of the money as commissions! These money were still given by the banks and the government on the surface, and the government secretly gave Xi Zhengfu gifts in order to obtain loans from foreigners. Huang Shuxian said.

"Wow......! How much does this cost? Xi Zhengfu earned tens of millions of taels of silver from the government loan commission alone, right? Isn't the Xi family rich enough to rival the country?" Jia Lei asked in disbelief.

"Of course, you don't know that all the money houses in Mingzhu City at that time were the shares of the Xi family, and these shares were all given to Xi Zhengfu by Qian Zhuangbai. Mingzhu City was the financial center of the country at that time, and the money houses here included almost all the famous money village branches in all regions of the country. At that time, in order to obtain working capital, domestic money banks often had to borrow from foreign banks to lend usury, and then lend to large and small businesses to obtain profits, and Xi Zhengfu was the person in charge of the signing and sealing of HSBC's loans. No matter which money bank wants to borrow money from HSBC, it must go through the hands of the Xi family!

"This ...... This...... Isn't this too much? Isn't the Xi family afraid that these banks will go to other foreign banks to borrow money?" asked the little Jew.

At that time, the Xi family and in-laws almost included the comprador positions of all foreign-funded banks, and our Huang family ancestors were engaged in the silk business and money bank, and my father was lucky because of the relatively strong family strength, and my grandfather, Shen Jicheng, married my mother to him. Although my mother is not surnamed Xi, she is the real Miss Xi family, so after my father Huang Zhenzhi married my mother, he immediately joined the Hua-Russia Daosheng Bank, where my third grandfather, Xi Jinhua, served as a comprador as a deputy comprador. Citibank, Standard Chartered Bank, HSBC, Favorable Bank, and Express Bank in Britain and the United States, Sumitomo and Yokohama Shojin Bank in the island countries, plus the Italian banks, French banks, and Russian banks, are all in charge of the Xi family. Huang Shuxian said.

"Grandma, do you know how much money the Xi family has?" asked the little Jew curiously.

"Nobody knows about that. At that time, most of the real estate in the Pudong Road, Nanjing Road, and Fengyang Road areas belonged to the Xi family, and in addition to the real estate, Xi Zhengfu also had shares in many banks, silver buildings, pawns, and gold numbers, and he also participated in silk and satin villages, steamship companies, and so on. Even the Hui Mansion and the No. 181 gambling house in the hands of Du Yuesheng, who is famous in Pearl City, turned out to be the property of the Xi family. Huang Shuxian said.

"Wow! The Xi family is so powerful, if only I had been born dozens of years earlier...... , then I am the cousin of the Xi family. The little Jew said enviously.

"Grandma Huang, although the Xi family is powerful, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with what we said today, right?" Jia Lei asked.

"You see, when I talk about the glory of my ancestors, I tend to digress...... I'll tell you about my entanglement with the Victor family right now. The little Jewish grandmother patted her head before she remembered.

My grandfather Shen Jicheng was both a comprador of Sassoon & Co. and the younger brother of Xi Zhengfu, and he was naturally worth a lot! My grandfather Shen Jicheng passed away in 1906, and his legacy in Mingzhu City alone was as high as more than 5 million taels of silver, of which in addition to the real estate worth nearly 270 taels and more than 110 taels of silver, he also left several silk bureaus and pawn shops. In the five million inheritance, not counting the Shen family's house and land in Su Congee's hometown!" Huang Shuxian said.

"Goo!" the little Jew couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of spit when he heard this, and grabbed Jia Lei's hand tightly.

"No matter how rich the Xi family is, we won't be able to earn a cent, but this Shen Jicheng is my grandmother's grandfather! He will definitely be able to leave something for my grandmother? Even if he only leaves 1% for my grandmother, our family will have to distribute it!" said the little Jew excitedly.

"I estimate that your grandmother must have more than 1%, otherwise the Victor family would not be so relentless in chasing and killing you!" Jia Lei also nervously held the little Jew's hand and said.

"You guessed it right, my grandfather did leave me no money! Our Shen family and Xi family are both big families of Su porridge, Jiangnan has a tradition of marrying daughters since ancient times, and when my mother married my father, in addition to the traditional ten miles of red makeup, houses and fields, jewelry silver buildings, and money shops, she also brought 300,000 taels of silver to the bottom of the box! When I got married, my mother gave me half of her dowry, plus the Huang family prepared for me to fill three boats, although my dowry is not as much as my mother's, but it is not much less! There are 200,000 taels of silver at the bottom of the box alone!" Huang Shuxian said confidently.

"Sister-in-law, your dowry is the richest I have ever seen, even if the princess of country Y marries not as much as your dowry!"

"Don't compliment me! If you've ever seen my mother's dowry, you know what a princess-level dowry is, after all, the Shen family is thin, only my grandfather and a few children. In terms of dowry alone, although the cousins of the Xi family are not worse than mine, they are definitely not as many as mine, because there are too many people in the Xi family, so there are fewer heads for each of them. Huang Shuxian said.

"Grandma, since you are so rich, where is all your dowry now?" asked the little Jew anxiously.

"Hmm......" Huang Shuxian suddenly fell silent when she heard this.

"Little Jew, are you stupid! Do you still need to ask about such an obvious thing? After the founding of the People's Republic of China, you have fought against the landlords...... Jia Lei pinched the little Jew vigorously and said, immediately waking him up from the dream of making a fortune.

......After those movements, there are no nobles in the country for more than three generations! The money has been distributed by the state to the common people...... We didn't have a penny left!" said the little Jew dejectedly.

"You're wrong, your grandmother's money isn't all in China! When my father fled to Huaxia with his family, he didn't have much money with him, but when the Victor family returned to country M to start a business, my sister-in-law took out more than half of the gold in her dowry to start a business for my brother. It is with this money that our Victor family can regain the glory of our ancestors. Charviktor looked at Huang Shuxian gratefully, and then he stood up solemnly and bowed to the little Jewish grandmother.

"You don't have to thank me! I was still a member of the Victor family, and I deserved to do my part for my husband's family. Huang Shuxian replied.

"What should it be, what should it be? It's not good for you to give such a large sum of money, but to a negative man!" said the little Jew angrily.

"Oh, my eldest grandson knows me, and you don't know that I regret......ted it later. If I had known that Ikli Victor was so unconscionable, I would have thrown this money into the water rather than give him a son. It would have been nice if I had donated all this money to the school or the charity hall, even if it was like later, I would have donated this money to the army to fight devils!" Huang Shuxian said regretfully with a pat on the thigh.

"Grandma Huang, can I ask, how much money did you give the Victor family in the first place?" Jia Lei asked curiously.

"I gave that scum ten thousand taels of gold!" Huang Shuxian said through gritted teeth.

*****

At the same time, Isharjah asked the same question to Ikli Victor.

"Father, I can't figure out how much a woman's dowry can be, even if the eldest lady paid in the first place, grandpa shouldn't have left her so many shares, right?" said Sharjah Victor dissatisfied.

"If you think so, you are wrong, I know that it is difficult for foreigners to understand the ten-mile red makeup of the Chinese people marrying their daughters! When Anna married me, the dowry silver that she brought to the Victor family was 20,000 taels of gold, and one tael of gold during the Republic of China period is equal to one ounce of gold now. This is not counting Anna's various dowries worth 300,000 taels of silver! Otherwise, as the heir of Baron Victor's family, how could I marry a Chinese as a wife. Ikli Victor said, rolling his eyes.

"Well......" Sharjah Victor stopped talking, if there was such a pile of money in front of him, no matter who the other party was, he would marry himself.

"You don't know, our Victor Consortium was able to catch up with the Sassoon family because I married Anna! Anna's grandfather and uncle were both Chinese managers of Sassoon at that time, and they were rich and powerful in China! We and the Sassoon family had only dealt with each other in business before, and for the sake of the face of everyone being Jews, the Sassoon family would see us, but they were not enthusiastic about us. Later, it was Anna's uncle who helped us say good things, and we were able to become business partners with the Sassoons! That's why my father was so grateful to Anna for leaving her so much of the shares. Ikli Victor said with a headache.

"Speaking of shares, I wonder how many shares Grandpa left to the eldest lady?" asked Ishharjah Victor anxiously at once.

The old chairman of the Victor consortium is not a stingy person who can do business so naturally, and the former chairman of Victor is a shrewd and reasonable person.

So the old chairman made a will before his death in 71, and he clearly stated in his will that he left 30% of the shares of Victor Group to the eldest lady and his son.

This 30% of the shares has always been held by Chairman Victor before the eldest lady was found!

"That is to say, father, the reason why you were able to bypass Uncle Charles to become the chairman of the Victor Consortium in the first place was because you held the shares of the eldest lady in your hands?" asked Isharjah, whose face was pale.

"Yes!" said Ikli Victor with a nod.

"Huh...... In vain I have worked hard for the Victor Consortium all these years, so I am helping others make wedding dresses?" said Sharjah Victor with a wry smile.

"I didn't expect Anna and Alan Shah to be alive, and now it's really terrible!" said Ikli Victor with a headache.

"Do you mean that if the eldest lady is still alive, these shares should belong to her?" asked Sharjah Victor with a sudden reaction.

"Yes!" Chairman Victor nodded helplessly.

*****

"My father left his last words at that time, saying that after the political struggle on the mainland was over, my brother must come to China to find his sister-in-law and Alan Shah and return the 30% shares to his sister-in-law. After all, my sister-in-law's whole family is kind to Victor, and Alan Shah is my father's first grandson!"

"My father-in-law has always been the fairest and most reasonable! I didn't expect that after so many years, he would still remember me and Alan Shah, and he still remembered the money I gave at the beginning. Huang Shuxian sighed and said.

"After all, our Victor family had very little money left when they fled to Pearl City, if it weren't for the help of your sister-in-law and your father! Our Victor family has long been down, how can we make a comeback! This kindness to our Victor family will not be forgotten......" Charles Victor sighed.

"You haven't forgotten, but someone may not be able to tell!" Huang Shuxian said with a sneer.

"No, my brother has always remembered yours for so many years, Anna, sister-in-law. Charles Victor hastened.

"If it is replaced, I will not forget! 30% of the shares of the Victor consortium, then at least 30 billion US dollars, right? Who knows about this will keep the little Jewish grandmother firmly in their hearts, because the little Jewish grandmother is their confidant who monopolizes their property! No wonder as soon as the little Jewish man showed up, some people wanted to kill him! It turned out that it was all the money that caused the trouble?" Jia Lei nodded understandingly.

"That's $30 billion! That's enough money for me to die 10,000 times!" said the little Jew in surprise.

Even if the other party only takes out 100 million of them as a bonus and wants the lives of your whole family, your grandmother and Uncle Wu will die 10,000 times. This thing has really happened!" Jia Lei said worriedly.

"I thought about it, since we can't hide, let's fight! At least we can hire bodyguards when we have money, why should I give my dowry money to that bad man and his little wives?" Huang Shuxian said with a sneer.

Jia Lei looked at the little Jewish grandmother, and there were only four words left in his mind: mighty and domineering!
