Hitler was so complacent that he gave the order to invade Britain, and the Sea Lion plan began to be implemented. The German ** team launched submarine warfare and heavy air raids on the British. but was thwarted by the British led by Churchill. At this point, the German offensive slowed down.

After the French surrendered to Germany, the French Concession authorities were bound to turn to the Japanese because of the alliance between the Japanese and the Germans. The patronage of the French Concession is afraid that it will exist in name only. The neutrality of the Americans and the preoccupation of the British with regard to the homeland inevitably caused the Anglo-American concessions to compromise with the Japanese.

At that time, the concession area may not be as safe as it is now. On December 7, 1941, when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, Germany, Italy, and Japan declared war on the United States at the same time, and when the Pacific War broke out, the Japanese would directly enter the concession area. At that time, the concession area will be even more impossible!

Therefore, what you have to do for the rest of your life is not to deal with Nanzao Yunzi who is in a corner of Shanghai Tang, but to leave Shanghai Tang at the right time! Save yourself and do the battle again!

But where to leave Shanghai Tang? He also has eight teenagers, a wife and 36 children to take care of. Leave, where is it so easy! The rest of my life sat in the room until it was dark before I figured out a plan!

Then, sit up and go!

***********

The first person to contact for the rest of my life was Sassoon!

At that time, when the Japanese first occupied Shanghai Tang, Sassoon believed that the Japanese would not care about the face of Britain, France and the United States, and directly occupied the concession. After all, the Japanese claim to be the saviors who liberated the yellow race from the white race. If you don't "liberate" the concessions occupied by Britain, France, and the United States, won't you be sorry for your own slogans and propaganda?

However, the Japanese have a much thicker skin than Sassoon expected. After the Japanese occupied Shanghai Beach, because the German boss had not yet torn his face with Britain, France, and the United States, they only dared to make small moves inside and outside the concession, and did not dare to openly occupy the concession. This made Sassoon quite unhappy, after all, when selling properties and stocks, he always sold at low prices. Although he didn't lose money, his profits were not maximized, which made him a professional businessman.

And the only place to make money is to exchange a very inconspicuous villa for the shares of "Loyal to the Country" for the rest of his life. Therefore, Sassoon had an inexplicable liking for the rest of his life.

At this time, Sassoon had not left Shanghai Tang, and after doing business with him for the rest of his life, the two of them had a connection, and they would greet each other during the New Year's holidays. Although we didn't see each other again, we weren't unfamiliar.

On this day, Sassoon was in his private ballroom, listening to music, drinking coffee, reading the newspaper, and exclaimed to the butler and a few close friends: "In the last world war, I was still a young man, and I could still go to the battlefield to fight. Now, looking at the situation, the Second World War has begun. But I'm old. ”

The housekeeper and a few close friends naturally comforted and touted it, reminiscing about the past and the eventful years. At this time, one of Sassoon's subordinates reported that a Chinese surnamed Yu had called him.

"Oh? Is it the rest of the life that is famous in Shanghai? ”

"Yes. It's the same Mr. Yu you sold to his villa. ”

Sassoon got up and answered the phone himself.

"Oh, dear Yu. It's not a year, you actually called me, do you have a business to take care of me? Sassoon joked.

"Mr. Sassoon, you are so clever! I have a big business to trouble Mr. Sassoon. I wonder if Mr. Sassoon is interested? ”

"Big business? What kind of big business? ”

"It's big business worth millions of dollars! Is Mr. Sassoon interested? Tonight, I'm in the villa, and I'd like to ask you to taste some of the authentic Chinese cooking. ”

Millions of dollars is not a small number for Sassoon. And this is equivalent to ninety percent of all income since the release of "Loyal to the Country" for the rest of his life. And if it weren't for the explosion of the overseas box office of "Havoc in Heaven" from "The Great Wall Will Never Fall", there would have been no such income for the rest of his life!

Sassoon knows that Yu Sheng is not as good as before, if Yu Sheng was originally just a lucky unknown junior, then now, in Shanghai Tang, he can also be an equal to him. So don't slack off. Go to the villa for the rest of your life in person.

Sassoon, unlike Albert, has lived in China for a long time. Almost all the delicious Chinese dishes were eaten once, so his mind was not on the dishes. After a few quick bites, he stopped. asked Yu Shengdao: "Dear Yu, what business do you want to do with me?" Millions of dollars is not a small number. ”

"Mr. Sassoon, I know that you are a British Jew, and you must not be too new to Australia!"

"Australia, with our family's ranch. Could it be that Mr. Yu also wants to invest in Australian ranches? In recent years, shipping has become difficult due to the war. The risks for merchant ships are high. Difficult to transport. Beef from Australian pastures cannot be shipped, and many ranchers are in a state of loss, so investing in Australia is not a good idea. ”

"Mr. Sassoon, you're right, I do want to invest in Australia! Not only pastures, but also large farms, and not only in Australia, but also in New Zealand, the pastures are more fertile! If there is an island with a rich ecological chain, a wide area, and complete ownership, I want it too! ”

"Oh? Why did Mr. Yu decide to invest in these? The value of these things that you have invested in is not very high now, and it seems that there is not much room for appreciation now. "There's something strange about Sassoon.

"Mr. Sassoon, with your business talents, of course you know what the essence of wealth is! It's not the money that can be printed at any time in our hands, it's not that we can't eat or drink gold and silver, it's resources! Resources are the essence of wealth! ”

"So, we shouldn't focus on the period of time in front of us, but look away! If we look at the Industrial Revolution, then the general trend on the planet is that there are more and more people, and the more resources are used, the less they use! The most important resources are land and food! ”

"And judging by the current situation, it is extremely unlikely that the Japanese will occupy Australia! With eight companions and thirty-six adopted children in need of a safe, well-fed land for them to recuperate, Australia was my first choice! ”

Of course, the basis for what Yu Sheng said was not because of his judgment of the international situation at the moment. Rather, it stems from the memories of later generations. Although the Japanese bombed Australia, the Japanese army did not have the ability to attack the Australian mainland, especially Western Australia. So, the Australian mainland didn't have much damage in World War II.
