If anyone said to Zhong Sanri: "Among the three brothers, you are the most like your father", Zhong Sanri will definitely be like thunder, and what he hates most in his life is his father Zhong Shang. At that time, his father exhausted his favor and got him into the Huangpu College, which is known as "Nantaixue", hoping that he would enter politics after completing his studies, but he skipped his studies halfway through and switched to Fuzhou Finance College.

Zhong Sanri took it as his mission to kill his father and rebelled tirelessly. After graduating from the School of Finance, he did not abandon the local career arranged for him by his father at all, not only entered the Fuxing Bank, which his father hated the most, but also traveled far and wide to start a business in the Lisbon branch of Fuxing Bank, and was promoted to branch director in three years.

His plan was to make enough money here, return to China and become a director of Fuxing Bank, and then shake a new loan agreement in front of his father, causing his father to vomit blood and die. His father's career in Tianzhu and Coral Prefecture has been intertwined with Fuxing Bank, but he listened to his father scold those Fujian boys who grew up.

What is the deep hatred that supports Zhong Sanri's "crazy" revenge?

It was because of his name "Zhong Sanri" that he had low self-esteem since he was a child, because his mother was Japanese. It stands to reason that this matter is actually nothing, his eldest brother Zhong Yinan's mother is still from Jiaozhi, and Zheng Chenggong a hundred years ago has a high evaluation in Yinghua, so he can't feel inferior because of this bloodline.

But there is no need to make this label clear on the name, and show off your background everywhere.

When Zhong Sanri was roughly sensible, he mentioned to his father about changing his name. His father is an old-fashioned man, thinking that the name was set by his own son, how can his son express his opinion. Strongly disagree. At this time, the Anglo-Chinese folk customs were still very traditional, and it didn't matter if the name was changed, but my father disagreed. The government was reluctant to accept it, so the hatred was planted.

At first, it was not so fierce, but around the 36th year of the Holy Road, the Japanese Restoration Movement broke out, although it was quickly suppressed, and the Tokugawa shogunate was also packed up as a puppet, but the anti-British movement that broke out among the Japanese people during this period also made the British and Chinese people have a worse and worse impression of Japan. Chung Sam-ri was in middle school for three years. I don't know how much I have suffered and how many grievances I have suffered, of course this hatred must be all on his father.

Zhong Sanri went overseas to expand his business, and he has achieved success in three years, not only because of his heart and ability, but also because of the background of the Anglo-Chinese financial industry following the trade between the East and the West and entering Europa.

Lisbon is the base camp for Anglo-Chinese maritime merchants to engage in import and export trade in Europa. There is both trade and lending, so there are branches of domestic banking giants such as Sanjiang Bank, Jiangnan Bank, and Fuxing Bank to serve Anglo-Chinese merchants. Of the more than a dozen Anglo-Chinese banks in Lisbon, Fuxing Bank is just a latecomer. However, relying on the strength of the Fujian consortium and the dominant position of the Fujian people in the east-west maritime trade, the development momentum is the fiercest.

On the one hand, the demand of European countries for saltpeter, sulfur, steel, medicine, and even ordnance from Britain and China has soared, and on the other hand, because of the war between countries from land to sea, the control of sea routes has also been significantly weakened.

In this context, the Yinghua financial industry in Europa naturally ushered in spring, and Zhong Sanri's lifelong wish was about to take advantage of this shareholder wind.

Unexpectedly, the hot and smoking heart was poured with ice water by the Jews. The Jews also saw this opportunity, not only to woo Anglo-Chinese customers, but also to use the exchange business as a threshold to crowd out the Anglo-Chinese bank's Lisbon business. Because other Anglo-Chinese banks have had many years of run-in with the Jews, the Jews can still compete according to the table procedures, but the Fuxing Bank is a rafter, and the Jews are not afraid to tear down the platform with all kinds of small actions. …,

Whether it was to protect his career in the Fuxing Bank or to protect his revenge, Zhong Sanri had to fight the Jews to the death, and today he was going to meet the Jewish banker Jefa, who served the Portuguese court, and the Jew, who had the title of viscount of the Portuguese court, preferred to call himself by the Portuguese name Thiago Velázquez. The Jews dared to attack the Anglo-Chinese Bank in Lisbon because they also had people in the Portuguese court.

We don't miss any opportunity to make money, but we never do anything that violates professional ethics, which is also the credibility that we Jewish businessmen have accumulated for thousands of years. Your accusations are unfounded, please do not discredit legitimate business competition as the behavior of roosters and dogs. ”

In a luxurious mansion not far from the palace, Velázquez turned into a shield in a perfect posture to block Zhong Sanri's rebuke, and the Latin language was interspersed with the proverb of Seris, showing the erudite side of this man.

The Jewish merchants were indeed very reputable, and this was the foundation of their business. More than 2,000 years ago, the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, founded by the Jews, were destroyed by the Babylonian Empire and the Jews were displaced. After a short period of homecoming, they were driven out of the Roman Empire 1,700 years ago, and since then they have been completely rootless.

This people is too resilient to be completely lost to history because of this suffering, both for the reasons of Judaism and for the experience of having experienced it for a long time. In short, they accepted their fate and continued to work hard, attached themselves to the mainstream nation, and survived the changes of the millennium.

The Jews were first engaged in various handicrafts, and after being excluded by the handicraft unions in various European countries, they turned to commerce. By this time, 50 percent of Jews were engaged in money lending, 20 percent were petty traders, and no more than 0.5 percent were farming Jews.

Merchants were also discriminated against in Europe until the Middle Ages, and for the millennium before that, Jews were forced to engage in commercial finance. The status is already low, and if you engage in shortages and deception, it will be self-defeating, and this is also the origin of the credibility of the Jews.

This also has to do with the survival wisdom of the Jews, who are always different from other peoples, but they are always law-abiding and do not want to cause dissatisfaction with the local authorities and their neighbors. Even laws that discriminate and even oppress them. None of them complained.

Even so, because they are diligent and take pleasure in making money day in and day out. Coupled with their long-term commercial shrewdness, they have always aroused jealousy and resentment among the people in the places where they live, and the history of settlement, local discontent, and relocation has been repeated for thousands of years. Just in Britain. There have been several cases in the centuries when they were thrown out and then accepted[1].

Based on this background, the business ethics of the Jews are indeed commendable, but morality is compatible with the development of society. Following the Renaissance, the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution are in full swing, and the tide of business and finance has swept the eastern and western hemispheres.

Of course. Even if they dig holes, Jews are still very particular about eating and looking, and there is no obstacle to Zhong San's appointment with Velasquez, which also shows the business ethics of the Jews, or the professional quality of businessmen: everything can be discussed, it is nothing more than a matter of price.

Zhong Sanri came today with the ambition of breaking the kettle, and sneered: "The ground rent of the Portuguese Chinese Chamber of Commerce is rising. As long as there are Chinese businessmen who borrow money from you, you can get preferential treatment, and those who borrow from you have exchange discounts, but they don't give us discounts, is this legitimate commercial competition? Your colleagues are still agitating the Britons to exclude us, and Minister Chua has already stated that he wants to talk to Britain about this. Aren't you afraid that Minister Cai will find the King of Portugal? ”…,

Velasquez smiled elegantly: "Whether it is a land rent increase or an exchange discount, we are all providing convenience for Cyris's friends, how can it be understood as malicious competition?" Besides, this little thing doesn't need to alarm Minister Cai, Europa is currently in an unprecedented war, and the overall situation is important. ”

Zhong Sanri continued to sneer, and Velázquez passed the soft field, and his attitude faintly turned to a hard threat: "Young man, you also know that most of the merchants in Europa rely on the loans of our Jews to do business, and without us, they not only do not have stable and sufficient funds, but also find it difficult to complete the complicated exchange work. Even a hundred years ago, the kings of Europa relied on us for money, and after the great dreams of every king, it was our Jewish money that worked......"

This is not a show-off, and Velázquez may have thought that the young Ceris fat man in front of him did not realize the extent of the political influence of the Jews in Europa, and only thought that it was a contest between businesses, and he patiently explained the position of his people on the political map of Europa.

"You see, court Jews like me are dedicated to providing monetary services to kings. The nations of Britain, France, and Austria, with their own factories and merchants, and the power held by the king and the parliament, gradually became less dependent on us Jews. But in some countries, especially for those that are emerging and rising, we Jews are their backbone, their only reliable allies. ”

Velasquez turned the ring between his fingers, which was similar to Zhong Sanri, both of them were wearing rings in their hands, the difference was that Zhong Sanri's diamond ring was too new, and the diamond on Velasquez's ring seemed to be covered with a layer of historical dust, with a warm brilliance, not as dazzling as the one on Zhong Sanri's hand, which meant that it was a real treasure with history, origin and legend.

His tone was full of admonishment and kindness, but when Zhong Sanri heard it, it was full of threats: "Let's just say Prussia, we Jews have served in the Prussian court for more than a hundred years, and all wars, including the war in Austria, without the money of our Jews, the kings and dukes could not fight. One hundred years ago, Augustus II, the Elector of Saxony, borrowed 1 million gold coins from us to become king of Poland, and 60 years ago, Frederick I borrowed 1,100,000 gold coins from us to become king of Prussia. ”

Velázquez smiled apologetically at Zhong Sanji: "The current Frederick II can only start a war with the arms of your Seris, but the money he pays for the salary of more than 100,000 troops can only find us Jews. Even if the dispute between us attracts the attention of Minister Cai, for the sake of the alliance between Seris and Prussia, I am sure that Minister Cai will seriously weigh ......"

Zhong Sanri looked abrupt: "I really didn't expect you Jews to be so powerful." ”

Then Zhong Sanri's face turned to pity: "But you are still wandering sweat after all, you don't have your own country, the kings treat you as a rag that you can throw away, and you borrow money from the kings because you can only do this, otherwise the money will not only not earn more money." and the kings will be jealous of you, and when they are not happy, they will drive you out again. ”

Velasquez smiled slightly. It's just that his smile is a little stiff, and he secretly said that this dead fat man, which pot is not opened.

Zhong Sanri took advantage of the situation to pursue: "I still remember." You Jews have other names, and the current names were forcibly taken by the kings. Your Portuguese name is not at all in keeping with Portuguese tradition, Velázquez...... It's like a woman's last name, do you still have your mother's last name? ”

Velasquez's forehead began to bone, but the Jews had always been well-bred and oppressed......

"Zhong, we're talking about business, and by extension, it's not gentlemanly enough to make a personal attack. I'll see you today. I also want to discuss the quota issue with you, as long as you Fuxing Bank ......"...,

Velasquez also wanted to bring the topic back, and Zhong Sanri continued: "You Jews have no state, is this a personal attack? I'm just looking for you to make sure, I'm afraid that if I meet other Jews in the future, I will be beaten up if I ask this question again. ”

Velasquez gritted his teeth secretly, and said in his heart that I want to beat you up now! There is no country. Wandering for thousands of years, this is the deepest pain in the heart of every Jew. The countless sufferings suffered in the past thousand years, and the endless ping-pong encounters encountered, all boil down to this.

Velázquez took a deep breath and said reverently, "Israel is in our hearts. Wherever we are, our country is. ”

Zhong Sanri was stunned and said: "Israel is in the hands of the Ottomans......

"Enough!"

Velasquez's good cultivation had been exhausted, and he angrily bowed his hands and said in Chinese: "Go slowly, don't send!" ”

It was Zhong Sanri's turn to smile: "I'm really leaving, you have to regret it for the rest of your life, I just want to send a country to the Jews, I don't know how much you can pay?" ”

Velasquez said angrily: "Please don't make such meaningless jokes, I know that you have a lot of small islands, and you can buy one for a few hundred gold coins, if we were just looking for a place to stay, we would have bought it ourselves." What we want is a return to Israel. And this point, let alone you, even if Minister Cai, or even your Emperor Majesty himself mentions it, we Jews will not believe it. ”

Zhong Sanri smiled: "It's not a small island in the South Seas, and of course it's not Israel, but if it's very close to Israel, even if you stayed there more than 2,000 years ago, it can be regarded as your hometown." ”

Velasquez was stunned for a moment, and after a moment, his eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Egypt!?" ”

Of course, he never believed that Zhong Sanri, the little fat man, had any ability to get involved in such a groundbreaking event as the return of the Jews, but there was a trace of ethereal possibility in the information revealed by these words, even if it was ethereal, he wanted to grasp it with his own hands. If there was a place in Egypt that could accommodate the Jews, it would be a great step forward on the road home.

Zhong Sanri nodded and said, "You also know that we have a tacit understanding with Britain for a long time, and we are interested in joining forces in Egypt......

Zhong Sanri has done a lot of work here, he inherited his father's ability to flicker, coupled with his youth and vigor, he dares to mix in any overall situation, and he uses the matter of Egypt to stun Velasquez with a big incense bait, which is his big move.

Velasquez was excited, and he didn't believe that Zhong Sanri had such great energy: "This matter should also be discussed by Minister Cai with us, not ...... you"

Zhong Sanri finally showed his hole cards, although he really didn't want to, but for his career, for his revenge, he had to bite the bullet: "Mr. Velasquez, I'm afraid you don't know the status of our Zhong family in Seris, my father has a deep friendship with His Majesty the Emperor, even if he can't talk about the details, it's okay to hand over a word." ”

He raised his eyebrows: "Of course, the price issue, presumably it is not something you can talk to me about." ”

How could Velasquez be coaxed by his words, and said with a smile: "Can I ask what kind of friendship your father has with His Majesty the Emperor?" ”

Zhong Sanri said proudly: "It's a friendship that has known each other for 30 years and lived a life!" ”

It wasn't until night that Zhong San came out of Velasquez's mansion, and when he went out, his face was red, but he spat disdainfully: "Jews, don't think that you have a great ability to coax people for thousands of years, in front of my Zhong Sanye, you are scum!" ”

In the mansion, Velázquez was inarticulate and instructed his servants: "Distribute these letters to the rabbis and let them come to Lisbon as soon as possible!" Tell them, big thing! Something great! If you miss this trip, you will regret it for the rest of your life! ”RQ
