Shangang Daowu picked up the note, opened it, looked at it for a while, and thought about it again.

"You let Qian Xiaobao stay here. The three of us are going out on a business. Let Qian Xiaobao sing, the louder the better. Yamaoka Michitake said to Oki Enichi.

Da Xiyan relayed the words of Shangang Daowu to Xiaobao.

"Sing what?" Xiaobao asked puzzled.

"Whatever, the louder the better." Oki Enichi said.

Michitake Yamaoka got up and walked out of the room with Oki Nobuichi and Ogasawara Kenji.

The Indian man was still waiting at the door. When he saw the three people coming out, he stepped forward and grabbed Shan Gang Daowu's arm, and snapped his fingers in the air with his other hand. The lights in the hallway went out instantly, and I couldn't see my fingers.

The four of them pulled each other towards the elevator at the end of the hallway. The hallway was covered with a thick carpet, and there was no sound at all when walking on it.

Xiaobao in the house was at a loss to know all this. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then cleared his throat and began to sing.

"Hey—"

"The sun sets and the west mountain is dark, and the magpie family returns to the eaves"

……

This is the tune that Xiaobao learned when he watched and danced the great god, and today he finally has the opportunity to display his talents.

In another room more than twenty meters away, Qing Shui Dongsan took off his headphones and said suspiciously, "What kind of sound is this?" It's like killing a donkey. Does Yamaoka Daowu like to listen to this kind of thing? ”

The elevator took the three of them to the tenth floor of the Sassoon Building. The 10 floors of the building are all used by Sassoon's private residence.

The three of them walked between oil paintings and sculptures and Chinese landscape paintings, as if they had entered a museum.

These were exchanged for opium. And this building is made of the bones of thousands of China's great smokers. At that time, the Sassoon family sold hundreds of thousands of boxes of opium from India to China every year. Lin Zexu sold cigarettes in Humen, and there were 2,000 boxes of opium from the Sassoon family. The three of Shangang Daowu were also shocked by this super wealth and luxury.

Under the huge crystal chandelier, two people stood. One was a sixty-year-old man in a suit, and the other was at least seventy years old, wearing a snow-white robe and a kipa like a small round hat.

"Welcome to the Sassoon Building, where I am the owner, Victor Sassoon. This is our rabbi of Judaism, who has come all the way from Jerusalem, and his name is Julius. The old man said in English.

A pair of rabbis from Jerusalem, Daowu and Daxiyan, a pair of rabbis from Jerusalem, were at a loss.

The rabbis of Judaism are similar to the religious leaders of other religions. In Shanghai, a place where tens of thousands of Jews lived, there were actually rabbis. And there must be some important reason why this Julius actually came from Jerusalem to meet them.

The three sat across from Sassoon and Julius, and the conversation that followed was difficult. Julius spoke Hebrew, to be translated into English by Sassoon. It was then translated into Japanese by Kenji Ogasawara, and Michitake Yamaoka and Oki Enichi could understand it.

"I'm here for that boat. I hope you don't embarrass that boat. Julius said.

"Are you talking about the ship that Schidelsky built in Dalian?" Yamaoka Daowu reacted quickly.

"Yes, it will be used to travel between Europe and Palestine to transport thousands of homeless Jews to Jerusalem, where our ancestors once lived." Julius said.

"We rescued tens of thousands of Jews from Germany, through the entire Soviet Union, to the Northeast. We want the Jews to live and work in peace and contentment in the Northeast, and we have created good conditions for them. But in the end they all ran south. Shan Gang Daowu said dissatisfied.

"I would like to say that I am a Jew who came to Shanghai from India. Compared to Shanghai, the icy Manchuria is not for us money-chasing Jews. We are doing finance capital, not farming and logging. Sassoon chimed in.

But over the years, Schidelsky had amassed a great fortune in Manchuria. If he wanted to take all this wealth away, it would make Manchuria bleed. We must not allow such a thing to happen. Shan Gang Daowu said strongly.

"I am deeply grateful to the Japanese for rescuing tens of thousands of Jews from Europe. I don't think Schidelsky will take all his wealth with him. Julius said.

"But he's doing it now." Shan Gang Daowu said dissatisfied.

"Schidersky is in Harbin and cannot personally go to Shanghai to explain the situation to you. Because of you, he can't move now. He asked me to convey his apologies. At the same time, he promised never to leave Harbin. He was willing to dedicate the villa where he now lived to the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army. What do you think? Julius asked.

Yamaoka Daowu suddenly fell into deep thought.

But he had one condition, that you could not stop the other Jews who had no property from going south. In fact, among the Jews who went through many hardships and dangers to Manchuria, there were only a very small number of rich people. Julius added.

"I have to go back to Manchuria to ask for instructions before I can make a decision. But I guess it's not a big problem. We are mainly targeting the Jews who have gained great benefits from Manchuria and want to flee with their wealth. Yamaoka Daowu said.

"You are a man of great influence among the Jews. You have come from Jerusalem to take a boat with you. You intend to use that boat to rescue thousands of Jews in Europe. Don't you have any gifts for us? There's always an exchange for buying and selling, right? Shan Gang Daowu said with a smile.

After listening to Michitake's words, Julius turned his head to Sassoon.

"We Sassoon family have been in Shanghai for nearly 100 years. And, of course, Kadoorie and other Jewish families. In Shanghai, we do business with people from all over the world. We are willing to cooperate with the Kwantung Army to do bigger business. Sassoon looked at Shan Gang Daowu with a faint gaze.

"Of course we do. But as far as I know, you are a citizen of the British Empire. What if our business is not in the interests of the British Empire? Yamaoka Daowu asked rhetorically.

"Jews were not all citizens of the British Empire. If Sassoon can't do it, there are other Jews who are willing to do it. Don't forget that in the Russo-Japanese War you won against the Russians with Jewish money. Julius said.

Shangang Daowu's eyes lit up, and the results of this trip to Shanghai exceeded expectations.

"I want the Jews and the Kwantung Army to always be friends." Shan Gang Daowu said emotionally.

"In order that more Jewish brothers can return to the place where milk and honey flow. We are willing to cooperate with the Kwantung Army. Julius said.

After reaching a consensus, Julius took his leave and left.

Sassoon, Yamaoka Michitake, and the others stood up and looked at Julius.

"There's another person I want to talk to you about. Maybe you'd love to meet him too. Sassoon turned around and said to Yamagang Daowu with a smile.
