Almost at the same time, Victor Sassoon, the richest man in Shanghai, was lying in the glass room on the top floor of the Sassoon Building, drinking morning tea leisurely while flipping through today's newspapers.
Yes, you read that right, Sassoon drinks morning tea.
For Sassoon or most of the nobles in Shanghai, day and night are upside down.
Because the essence of night Shanghai lies in the rich and colorful nightlife, and the rich and colorful nightlife only starts after eight o'clock in the night, reaches its climax at ten o'clock, and will not continue until two or three o'clock in the morning the next day. The game continues, and then it¡¯s time to rest until you get up in the afternoon to wash up and start a new day.
Sassoon first looked through the Ta Kung Pao and declarations, but found no interesting articles.
I looked through the Milestone Review again, but I didn¡¯t see any articles that stood out to me.
After flipping through the newspaper for a few minutes without finding anything of interest, Sassoon immediately lost interest in reading the newspaper and pushed the pile of newspapers in front of him to one side.
When the housekeeper standing next to him saw it, he immediately whispered: "Sir, the Damei Evening News may have an article that interests you."
"Oh, really?" Sassoon took the newspaper back after hearing this, then pulled out the American Evening News, opened the front page, and immediately saw a photo.
In the newspaper, Tsuyoshi Fujita¡¯s face was not clear, but Sassoon recognized it at a glance.
Nothing else, it¡¯s really because Fujita left such a deep impression on Sassoon! This will be unforgettable in my life!
Almost a month ago, a mysterious small Japanese army stationed in Shanghai. The Shanghai Military Police Headquarters specially arranged a welcome dinner for this purpose. It was at this dinner that Go Fujita had a conflict with Sassoon's bodyguards, and then The two sides had an open fight in front of senior Japanese generals and envoys from various countries.
Sassoon originally thought that his bodyguards would definitely win, because both of his bodyguards were Russians and both were large men over two meters tall, while Fujita Go's height was even less than 1.7 meters, and the weight and strength of both parties were not at all there. A plane, so his bodyguard will win this fight without any doubt.
However, the final result surprised everyone.
Sassoon¡¯s bodyguard not only lost the fight, but even lost his life.
The two bodyguards had their necks broken by Fujita Go in front of everyone.
Because of this incident, Sassoon was very embarrassed, but it also made him remember Fujita Tsuyoshi.
So now, one can imagine Sassoon's surprise when he saw Fujita Tsuyoshi being knocked down.
"Wow, isn't this dwarf lying on the ground Tsuyoshi Fujita?" Sassoon shouted, "Who is this? Can he knock down Tsuyoshi Fujita? God, where did this man come from? God!"
The housekeeper smiled slightly and said, "Master, don't you read the article?"
"I'm confused." Sassoon patted his forehead lightly and read the article at a glance.
But the information provided in the article is also very limited. It only says that he is American and does not even mention his name. However, this is not a problem for Sassoon.
As the richest man in Shanghai, Sassoon only needs to have a thought to find this person.
At that moment, Sassoon put down the newspaper and said to the butler: "David, find him and bring him to see me!"
The butler responded respectfully. It was an obvious fact that Mr. Sassoon had developed a strong interest in this American who could defeat Tsuyoshi Fujita.
¡¡
After breakfast, Sassoon returned to his large office to handle official business.
As early as more than 20 years ago, Sassoon had inherited the Sassoon Company founded by his father, and later founded many companies such as Chinachem Company, Amway Company, and Yeguang Real Estate Company. Although there were many secretaries, But some things still have to be handled by Sassoon himself, so he is actually very busy every day.
We were busy until evening, when David, the butler, knocked on the door and came in and said, "Master, it's time to go to Hongkou."
Tonight, there is a dance at the Grand East Asia Hotel in Hongkou. It was specially held by the Japanese Military Police Headquarters to welcome the Ishii troops. Sassoon did not know what the Ishii troops did, but he did not accept the invitation from the Japanese Military Police Headquarters. Dare to refuse too harshly, after all, most of Shanghai has fallen into the hands of the Japanese soldiers.
If Sassoon & Co. wants to maintain its business in Shanghai, it must have a good relationship with the Japanese.
At that moment, Sassoon got up to change his clothes, and specially chose a tuxedo. Then he got into his limited-edition Mercedes-Benz sedan and drove in four other ordinary cars.Under the protection of public cars, go all the way west from Beijing Road to the Pentang Nongqiao intersection.
At this time, Pentang Nong Bridge has already been closed and locked, but who is Sassoon?
Just after showing the invitation, the British and Japanese troops guarding both ends of the Buntang Bridge quickly let them go.
With smooth passage along the way, Sassoon's motorcade arrived at the gate of the Grand East Asia Hotel smoothly.
When Sassoon got out of the car, he immediately saw the American Minister Commodus standing at the door of the hotel greeting friends.
Sassoon had a normal relationship with Commodus, and he originally didn¡¯t want to come forward to say hello, but when he glanced around, he saw the young man standing on Commodus¡¯ right hand side.
In an instant, Sassoon's eyes lit up.
Because this young man is none other than the one published on the front page of the American Evening News, the American who defeated Tsuyoshi Fujita in one round!
Sassoon originally wanted the housekeeper to find someone.
Now there is no need to look for it, we just met it.
At that moment, Sassoon stepped forward with a smile and said to Commodus: "Your Excellency, Minister, we meet again."
"Sir Sassoon." Commodus followed Western etiquette, tilted his head slightly, and said, "Good evening."
Sassoon's eyes naturally fell on the young man next to Commodus, and he asked with a smile: "Who is this one?"
"Oh, this is a fellow countryman of mine who just came to Shanghai from Connecticut." After Commodus finished speaking, he turned back to Zhong Yi and said, "George, this is Sir Victor Sassoon, the richest man in Shanghai. .¡±
"The richest man in Shanghai is all a friend." Sassoon waved his hand, then extended his hand to shake Zhong Yi's hand, and said, "Mr. George, nice to meet you."
Zhong Yi showed appropriate excitement on his face and said in English: "Sir Sassoon, I am also pleased to meet you."
Sassoon smiled slightly, then asked with concern: "Mr. George, you just came to Shanghai from Connecticut. Have you found the job you like? If you need anything, you can come to me at the Sassoon Building at any time. This is my business card."
After saying that, Sassoon snapped his fingers, and the butler behind him took out a gold-gilt business card and handed it to Zhong Yi respectfully.
Commodus smiled and said: "George, why don't you thank Sir Sassoon quickly."
Zhong Yi said excitedly: "Thank you, Sir." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
