Sassoon put on his nose-clipping glasses and lowered his head to read the "Zilinxi Newspaper" carefully, looking completely unmoved, while Victor Sassoon on the side almost widened his eyes, first at his father, and then at Henry Macaulay, the anger in the young man's expression made Henry look in his eyes and be happy in his heart.

Henry, who was sitting in the chair, looked at Sassoon's disapproving appearance, but instead put his legs down, bit the ivory cigarette holder, and said vaguely.

"Mr. Sassoon, allow me to express to you my personal sympathy for you, I think that since the appearance of the Shanghai Concession, you are probably the first Taipan to be teased by the Orientals."

Henry's ridicule only made Victor snort coldly in his nose, but slowly gathered the anger in his heart!

Although Sassoon knew Henry's intentions and didn't want to show his anger in front of him, Henry's current smug demeanor and behavior made him even more disgusted, even more than the disgust for that crippled man.

This is good, Henry's words made Sassoon, who had always been holding his anger in his heart, find a person to vent to, so he agreed mockingly.

"I think that now that Macaulay's business is deserted, you don't have anything to do, otherwise you wouldn't be like a woman, talking nonsense here!"

How could Henry not hear the anger in Sassoon's words, so he replied with a very weighty remark.

"No matter how light Macaulay is, it won't be teased by the Orientals!"

Sassoon removed the snare mirror, lifted his pointed chin, and smiled at Henry.

"Maybe! But at least for the Orientals, Sassoon is Sassoon! As for Macaulay......"

He did not continue, but turned his gaze to the newspaper, and Henry, who had been provoked by these words and almost caught fire, saw that Sassoon's hands were almost torn apart, so he shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands to the sides.

"Old Sassoon has left Shanghai! I would like to ...... in the future Macaulay, always there! ”

With that, he jumped briskly from his chair.

Sassoon knew he was leaving, so he spoke.

"Henry, if you need any help, just send someone to help! We're friends, aren't we? ”

"Thank you!"

Henry replied crisply!

"If Sassoon needs help, I'm obligated to do it!"

After all, Henry, who was in a good mood, with a body of nearly two hundred pounds, turned around lightly and stepped out, with a proud appearance, but he didn't whistle in his mouth.

Victor couldn't bear it anymore, and slammed at the door, raising his finger and scolding.

"This Henry, apart from wanting to see our jokes, is that he can't get along with us in business, and he doesn't want to think about it, if it weren't for the opium quota allocated to him by our foreign medicine office, would this waste Macaulay foreign firm be able to survive until now?"

"No, you can't underestimate him!"

Sassoon denied it coldly, put down the newspaper in his hand, and then looked at his son seriously.

"Victor, remember, at no time do you show your anger, your anger will only allow your enemies to take advantage of it! If Henry is a waste, then his Macaulay & Co. does not rely on the quota of only 500 boxes of opium in the Foreign Medicine Office, last year Macaulay & Co. made a profit of more than 4 million yuan in addition to foreign medicines, far exceeding the profit from opium. ”

After preaching to his son, Sassoon sighed again.

"As he said, I never thought that it would be a Chinese who ruined all my plans, and he was a cripple!"

It is false to say that there is no anger in his heart, for the sake of the stocks of the South African gold and diamond mines in the South African gold mines, he has been planning for a whole year, and the result? In the end, the lame man's intervention fell short, and after calculation, he lost hundreds of thousands of yuan. Originally, in his opinion, if he got those stocks, even if it was only 20% of them, it would be enough for the Sassoon family to get rid of their dependence on opium, after all, European countries have been prohibiting drugs for several years, opium has siphoned off too much wealth from China, and the industrial circles of Britain, the United States and other countries have decided that the opium trade has seriously affected their industrial sales.

Although real estate profits are high, they are always limited, and the Sassoon family cannot rely on real estate alone, South Africa's gold mines, diamond mines, stocks...... It's a pity that now, there is no chance, it was that cripple who disrupted his whole plan!

Thinking of this, Sassoon's fists clenched, hatred gathered in his eyes, and even his breathing became a little heavier.

"Dad, we can ...... through the Chinese government"

As soon as Victor opened his hand, Sassoon shook his hand.

"Victor, you know, why did he tell us all this? Is it just to laugh at me? ”

Victor's rhetorical question caused Victor to groan calmly.

"I don't think it should be that simple, according to Henry's methods, he should want us to have a direct conflict with Chen Moran in order to benefit from it!"

Seeing that Victor was able to think calmly, Sassoon nodded with satisfaction.

"If we go straight now and fight directly with that cripple, it will be equivalent to letting Henry, the poisonous snake, get his wish, that cripple has just come to Shanghai, and he has just started to ,......"

Thinking about his past evaluation of the lame man, Sassoon couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart. In his heart, he was a cripple, Sassoon was very curious, the Sassoon family was very rich, and in the past 20 years, only through the opium trade monopolized by the Foreign Medicine Company, it has brought tens of millions of yuan of profits to Sassoon's foreign company, but even so, he took out 10 million at a time, I am afraid that he will hesitate for a long time.

But the cripple Chen was able to buy a house with cash like a gold mine and help Catherine tide over the difficulties.

"I'm more interested now in how much money he has! You know, just now, he has taken 10 million, which is more than 1 million pounds, even if we want to take out 1 million pounds at a time, I'm afraid it will take a while to prepare, but ......"

Before he finished speaking, Sassoon frowned, pondered for a while, and then began to speak.

"If I'm not mistaken, Catherine used half a silver dollar and half a dollar when dealing with a run! And the woman was in Hong Kong in exchange for dollars for silver dollars. ”

Before Victor could speak, Sassoon seemed to be talking to himself.

"It can also be seen from this that Chen Cripple is coming back from the United States, if my expectations are good, he returned to China this time, he should have liquidated his assets in the United States, we don't know how much money he has, but at least he has a lot of cash in his hands! It's a bit unwise to have a direct conflict with him. ”

Although he said so, Sassoon's heart was full of unwillingness, no one in Shanghai knew that from the day Shanghai opened its port, Shanghai belonged to the Abraham family, whether it was the old Sassoon or his new Sassoon, Shanghai was the Abraham family, but now this Chinese who drank some milk in the United States and wanted to return home in fine clothes slapped him fiercely as soon as he stepped into the territory of Shanghai, how could he be willing.

"Didn't Charlie think about Catherine all the time? Victor, you pass the news to Charlie through other people, from the Rich Manor, to the Huisheng Bank, and then check by the way, whether there is any other connection between Catherine and the lame man besides Ji Li, in short, let Charlie test it first! ”

As a Jewish businessman, Sassoon never knew what friendship or affection was, and nothing was more important to him than interests, although when he first set foot in Shanghai, Charlie was his friend and had helped him many times, but at this time, he didn't mind letting Charlie rush ahead, friends, Jews have never had friends, the only thing they have is interests.
