It has always been a felony to murder the ruling law enforcement forces and challenge the established order.

Therefore, the request of the French Concession is reasonable, and if the British release the water, Bain's consul will be over!

In addition, the Public Trial Hall also conducted a quick trial on the case of the British captain who deliberately rammed a civilian passenger liner, resulting in many deaths and injuries.

The confessions are all ready-made, and the pulse of the case is clear.

Compensation and heavy sentences are due.

But Han Huaiyi doesn't see this as a victory.

He openly published a newspaper and declared: "If the sentence of the offender is not implemented, then there is other power besides justice and law to punish the evil deeds." With immediate effect, I am offering a reward of 5,000 silver dollars to supervise the execution of the sentence, and if anyone with lofty ideals can provide details of the information that the offender has not been punished, I will pay the full amount. If the offender gets the punishment he deserves, I will donate the 5,000 silver dollars to the charity bank in Shanghai for the benefit of the people. ”

The New Rome Group has always done things in a series of ways.

The day after Han Huaiyi spoke, the Board of Directors jointly condemned the British Navy soldiers who were absent from work without reason and went out without permission.

Either you instructed it, or it was paid for by these named and surnamed naval soldiers.

In short, if the soldiers of the British Empire did their private work for the merchants, and killed so many people without conscience, did the management not have the slightest responsibility?

Bane was really angry, he hated both the French Concession and the brain-dead of Swire & Co.

On the contrary, Devemon was not named from beginning to end in this matter.

But that doesn't mean he's okay.

A few days later, the newspapers in the French Concession published news that the British army's actions were instructed by Fox, a "opium soldier" who had been bribed by Swire & Co.

Fox's last home is him, okay...

If the news had only boiled in the Far East, the British would have been able to drag it out, but soon the Parisian daily newspaper in Paris, France, published the details of the matter.

The French were unceremoniously and vehemently criticized the despicable act of Swire & Co. for designing a tragedy over the development of coastal trade.

Then there is the American side, after learning about the situation in the United States, Chicago Deputy Mayor Daley directly scolded the British for their shamelessness in the media.

In addition, Mr. Morgan of the Atlantic Shipping Company actually spoke, and he unceremoniously believed that Swire & Co.'s behavior was a disgrace to the shipping industry...

On this day.

Han Huaiyi received a message.

John, the owner of Swire & Co., has passed away. (He died in 1898.)

Fei Woli told Han Huaiyi: "Now that all the industries of Swire & Co. in Shanghai have been suspended, the Chinese workers in Hong Kong have also protested and struck Swire & Co. on this matter, and Swire Sugar Factory has also been affected to a certain extent. In addition, in order to protect Bain, the British increased the punishment of Taikoo. Under this internal and external troubles, old John, who was already very old, died. ”

"There should be two of his partners, Rickard. Butterfield and James. Henry. Credit to Scott. Melo analyzed.

When Han Huaiyi was busy, the other brothers were not idle.

What they inquired about as foreigners was much more detailed than what Pan Minfu inquired about.

Ricard was an early partner of John Sr., specialising in the import and export of wool textiles.

However, the cooperation between the two sides soon broke down, and there was a great unhappiness between them, probably because John wanted to monopolize inland shipping, but the full English name of Swire & Co. Butterfield & Swire (B&S) has been retained to this day, and the B of them is this Butterfield.

As for the Scotsman James . Henry. Scott was John Sr.'s partner in ocean shipping.

Because Scott is a descendant of a Clyde shipbuilding family.

He had been working with John Sr. 32 years earlier, and now he has a stake in the Swire Sugar Refinery in Hong Kong and the nearby Swire Dockyard.

Speaking of which, he was also the direct supervisor of John Sr.'s son, Walter.

Because he is the real person in charge of the inland shipping of Shanghai Swire & Co.

Perhaps sensing the crisis and fearing that John Sr. would throw the burden on him for his son's sake, Scott manipulated the strike and denunciation in Hong Kong. Under internal and external troubles, Old John finally failed to hold on and fell completely. Fei Vol said.

His voice was a little low, which was admiration and sympathy for Old John.

That man started a big business, but because of the betrayal of his partner and the incompetence of his son, he fell into this situation.

Fei Volli, who was not young, could not help but feel some sympathy for him.

Han Huaiyi can fully understand his feelings, and he is not mean to fall into the well without a bottom line.

Han Huaiyi sighed: "So we have to be careful every step of the way, so we must pay attention to reputation and conscience." Only by doing things according to this mentality can we go long-term. ”

"Yes Charlie, that's why we agree more and more with your philosophy and style. So what do we do next? ”

"That's it, Fevoli, you make an appointment with Walter's brother, and we'll talk to them openly and honestly, sort out the logic of right and wrong, and then continue our business with each other, provided that Walter makes considerable compensation for the dead and wounded. He must be held accountable. ”

"Charlie, you're a generous person. Actually, they're already looking for me. ”

"I can feel it, but I'm sure you'll still be on my side if I keep fighting them. But now, I should stand with you sensibly. Hatred must be remembered, sinners must pay, but we must also look forward. Han Huaiyi said bluntly.

In fact, he is a little duplicitous, because reason is indeed what it should be, but emotionally he is very reluctant.

More than 300 dead and wounded...

"Draw near to our enemy, and try to turn him into one of my bargaining chips in my next trip to the United States, with Mr. Morgan. Also, what I continue to do with Walter is not going to change. I'm sure his brother, Mr. Jack, wouldn't mind having the control of the primeval alone. Han Huaiyi finally came up with an idea that could barely do both.

Fei Volli, Melo and the others said without hesitation: "Okay Charlie, we will support you." ”

Fei Volli even added: "I understand that your compromise also has a reason for me to think about it." ”

Han Huaiyi did not deny it: "You must also support me about the British murderer and the captain." I'm not going to let go of any of these bastards. ”

"No problem."

After leaving the conference room, Fevoli said to Melo on the way back: "I regret telling Charlie about this, he is actually very unhappy. ”

"No, Mr. Favoli, you don't say that he will make a rational decision. In addition, he did not forgive the murderer. It won't affect everyone's feelings. Unless we fool him with duplicity, and compromise on the British indulgence of criminals, that will really break his heart. ”
