In the huge study, the atmosphere is gloomy like a dark cloud. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"So, are you sure it's the British?"

I didn't see a fluctuation on my face, John? Mr. Huntelaar's voice was also flat, but even so, the two subordinates in the room couldn't help but shudder!

The performance was bland, but John's aura enveloped the entire study.

Momentum is never expressed by tone and action, but only related to a person's identity, status and timing of speaking. If the two middle-aged white people were in front of an ordinary person, even if it was any bigwig in Shanghai, they would not have any special feelings, after all, in terms of their status, there is really no one in Shanghai that they can be afraid of. But what if the other party is John? Mr. Huntelaar, a big man who has completely controlled their destinies, then everything is different.

"Yes sir, we can be sure that the British are the devil!"

After swallowing a mouthful of foam, the person in charge of the Huntelaar Bank said cautiously: "Dare to stop the cargo ship of Huntelaar Foreign Bank, and even clamore to detain the goods inside, only the British have the courage in Shanghai, and only they have the ability......"

"Huh."

After hearing his subordinate's answer, John's response was nothing more than a chuckle.

But even with a faint chuckle, the two middle-aged white men still trembled in their hearts, and the temperature on their bodies seemed to drop by two degrees in an instant!

Everyone knows that Mr. Huntelaar almost never gets angry.

Although they are the heads of the Far Eastern branch of the Huntelaar Bank and the Foreign Bank, the two middle-aged white men have not been in contact with John for a long time, and they have not met much before and after, that is, they have only been more frequent in the last two months. But the two had the impression that Mr. Huntelaar had a rather mild temper and rarely spoke to his subordinates in a stern tone. Even at this moment, Mr. Huntelaar heard bad news, and there was no anger in his expression or movements.

But......

I don't know why, but the hearts of the two middle-aged white people are very nervous at this time!

No one understands better than the two of them the importance that Mr. Huntelaar attaches to the Far East...... To be precise, it is the importance of China! From the beginning of the layout more than ten years ago, to the recent years to increase investment, Mr. Huntelaar can be said to have spent a lot of thought. From the First Sino-Japanese War to the Russo-Japanese War, from the rubber stock turmoil to the Xinhai Revolution, the Huntelaar consortium has reaped all the benefits in China, but all the proceeds have been invested in education and industry by Mr. Huntelaar without hesitation! The people at Huntelaar Bank know this best, even if you don't count the profits in China, it's a terrifying astronomical amount if it's just pure investment!

Because of this, the Huntelaar consortium was able to create the current situation in China's Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.

It can be said that from the south to the north, from the private to the official, the Huntelaar consortium has a good reputation, and at the same time, it has also created a strong network of relationships and created an excellent environment for their development. In fact, no matter how much the situation in China has changed in recent years, with the identity of foreigners and strong strength, the development of the Huntelaar consortium has been faster......

But suddenly, the British guys made an inexplicable move.

Neither of them understood why the British would suddenly intercept the freighter of Huntelaar & Co. It was all machinery and equipment, as well as kerosene and some chemical raw materials shipped from the United States, and there was certainly nothing prohibited. But in the mouth of the British, these things became dangerous goods that could endanger the safety of Shanghai.

And......

"Sir, I'm afraid it's more than that!"

Suppressing the panic in his heart, the person in charge of Huntelaar Foreign Bank smiled bitterly: "You know, the two of us have a deep foundation in China over the years, so we immediately inquired about it after the incident and learned a very dangerous news......

"What's the news? Go ahead. ”

Seeing that the other party was spitting, John raised his eyebrows and said indifferently.

"Goo-dong!"

After swallowing another mouthful of spit, the middle-aged white man smiled bitterly: "Things are a bit unexpected, the British seem to have decided to ...... in Shanghai Even the suppression of the Huntelaar consortium in the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions seems to be trying to teach us a lesson......"

"Lessons?"

After hearing this word, John's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly!

The inexplicable chill suddenly made the middle-aged white man feel cold, and his mouth was tightly closed. Like him, another middle-aged white man next to him also saw it, saw John? The smile on Mr. Huntelaar's lips. But they knew that this was not the usual smile of Mr. Huntelaar, but a sneer full of anger, and the voice was no longer as flat as before!

"Okay, I got it."

I don't know how long it took, but the two of them, who had been afraid to make a sound, finally heard a response.

"George will go back first and stabilize the situation."

Mr. Huntelaar's voice regained its calmness, and he said lightly: "I don't care what method you use, in short, our industry must not be affected, and everything must be carried out as usual." As for Linca's words...... You invite a few people for me, and invite them to come to me this afternoon! ”

"Uh......"

The middle-aged white man named Linka was slightly stunned, and hurriedly asked respectfully: "Sir, do you want to contact the British Minister Zhu Erdian?" He hasn't left Shanghai yet......"

"Humph!"

A cold snort made the middle-aged white man stop his mouth suddenly, and John smiled coldly: "Who said I was going to contact the British?" I contacted the American consul in Shanghai, the German consul in Shanghai, and the representative of the Chinese government, and told me that I would have a dinner in the evening and invite them to dinner......"

"Sizzle......"

When they heard this, the two middle-aged white men couldn't help but gasp at the same time!

"God!"

His mouth trembled twice, but seeing the cold eyes of Mr. Huntelaar and the sneer at the corners of his mouth, in the end, the two middle-aged white men did not dare to say anything more.

They certainly understood what it meant to invite these three people.

The U.S. consul said that after all, the Huntelaar consortium belonged to the United States, and it was natural to ask for their help when needed. It's just that to tell the truth, the influence of the Americans in the Far East is really weak, and it is difficult to have any influence on the British.

But the Germans and the Chinese government are a different story.

In fact, both of them understood in their hearts that the biggest reason why the British stumbled on the Huntelaar consortium was the cooperation between the Huntelaar Bank and the Chinese government. Recently, the British were pressuring President Yuan in Beijing to accept a series of unequal terms in southwest China, but the intervention of the Huntelaar consortium changed a lot of things. Therefore, at this sensitive time, contacting representatives of the Chinese government makes it difficult to grasp the thoughts of Mr. Huntelaar.

But......

If Mr. Huntelaar had invited the German consul in addition to the American consul and the representative of the Chinese government, the nature of the matter would have been completely different!

Everyone knows that the Germans are the sworn enemies of the British!

The riveting of Europe resounded in the sky, and the British felt a huge pressure from the Germans. Now that the British have provoked Mr. Huntelaar, he immediately asks himself to invite the German consul, and the implication of this is very intriguing...... (To be continued.) )
