Chapter 990: Lobbying Sassoon

But after arriving in front of Zhong Yi, I remembered that Zhong Yi was now Zhong Yi, not George.

At that moment, Commodus pretended to ask Zhong Yi to go back to the legation to find George, Zhong Yi got up and left, returned to the United States Legation for a turn, and then put on a wig and drove back to Sassoon Building.

Sassoon met Commodus and George in the luxurious living room on the top floor.

And Zhong Yi, who incarnated as George, finally saw Sassoon's erosive life to the extreme.

This Jew alone has more than twenty mistresses of all colors and nationalities!

And it seemed that he wanted to show off in front of Commodus and Zhong Yi, and Sassoon actually asked all his more than twenty mistresses to dress up and line up in two lines at the entrance of the large living room to serve as a welcome.

But here, Zhong Yi really misunderstood Master Sassoon.

In doing so, Sassoon only wanted to show his sincerity, not to show it.

Sassoon knew that the people of the United States liked to go straight, so he said bluntly: "George, this time I asked Minister Commodus to invite you over, just for one thing. ”

"Bodyguards?" Zhong Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in acting as someone's personal bodyguard. ”

Sassoon smiled: "Originally, I really just wanted to ask you to be my bodyguard, but I have changed my mind now. ”

"Really?" Zhong Yi said coldly, "Then I wish Sir Sassoon can find his favorite and skilled bodyguard as soon as possible!" ”

As he spoke, Zhong Yi stared at the two rows of beauties with pretentious eyes.

There are really a few bold mistresses in Sassoon, and they are also flattering at Zhong Yi.

Sassoon wasn't even angry, and said with a smile: "George, which one do you like?" I can give it to you when I like it. ”

"Sir Sassoon's kindness has been understood." Zhong Yi thanked Bumin and said, "It's just that I'm not interested in second-hand goods." ”

"Second-hand?" Sassoon was stunned at first when he heard this, and it took him a long time to react, and then he laughed, "That's right, these are indeed second-hand goods." ”

"Straight to the point." Sassoon added, "George, I heard that when you went to college, not only did you box very well, but you also developed excellent marksmanship?" ”

"That's it." "At least in Connecticut, no one can beat me, whether it's boxing or shooting. ”

"Crooked Good!" Sassoon clapped his hands and said, "Well, if I hire you to be the captain of my personal guard, I wonder if you would be interested in it?" ”

"Personal guards?" George snorted, "As far as I know, Sir Sassoon, you don't seem to have a personal guard?" ”

"Not before, just because it wasn't necessary." Sassoon said, "But since the Japanese army entered and occupied Shanghai, the security in Shanghai has been greatly deteriorated, especially since the establishment of the magic cave at No. 76 Jisfeier Road, the security in Shanghai has deteriorated dramatically, and even the public concession is no longer safe!" ”

After a pause, Sassoon continued: "Therefore, it is necessary to form a personal guard. ”

Zhong Yi pretended to be a little moved, and asked, "I don't know how large the guards Your Excellency plans to form?" ”

"At least fifty ......" When Sassoon spoke, he kept staring at Zhong Yi's eyes, and when he saw the look of disdain in Zhong Yi's eyes, he immediately changed his words, "No, at least a hundred people!" ”

Zhong Yi snorted and said, "Sir Sassoon, with all due respect, the size of the guard you envisioned does not seem to match your identity and status. ”

Sassoon smiled and asked, "Then Mr. George, how big of a guard do I think?" ”

Zhong Yi said: "You are the richest man in Shanghai, in terms of identity and status, how can you be above Zhang Xiaolin, Ji Yunqing, and Fu Xiao'an, even they have more than 500 disciples, how can your guard have 1,000 people, right?" ”

"Oh no, no, no." Sassoon was startled when he heard this, "A thousand? This is an exaggeration. ”

A thousand guards, isn't that equivalent to the strength of a regiment? Sassoon really didn't think about it.

Zhong Yi gestured to Commodus with his eyes, which meant to let Commodus also come out and say a few words.

Intimidated by Zhong Yi's "obscenity", Commodus could only cough and say: "Sir Sassoon, I think what George said is also reasonable, you are an honorary director of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau, and you are the richest man in Shanghai in terms of strength, so it is reasonable to form a considerable number of guards, and no one can say anything about it." ”

After a pause, Commodus continued: "However, the Thousand Guards are indeed a bit exaggerated, and I think it is appropriate to form a Five Hundred Guards. ”

"Five hundred?" Sassoon was still a little hesitant.

This is a personal guard, and it is for him to pay for it.

And the guards of the guards, the salary is the same as that of the bodyguards.

The salary he gave to those White Russian bodyguards was as high as five hundred pounds a year!

Doesn't that mean a salary of £250,000 a year for a guard of five hundred?

This is just the salary, and the guards of 500 people can't let them go in and out with burning sticks and bare butts, right? You have to buy them a line and provide them with weapons.

It's another expense, and it's too much!

Zhong Yi said: "Sir Sassoon, so, if you promise me to form a personal guard of five hundred people, then I can be your guard captain, and I don't even need you to provide a salary to the guard!" ”

"Oh?" Sassoon was stunned, "Don't you need me to pay the guards?" George, are you sure you're not kidding me? ”

"Of course I'm not joking with you, Sir Sassoon." Zhong Yi said, "Actually, there is a reason why I chose to come to Shanghai instead of Hong Kong, Singapore or anything else. ”

"Why?" Sassoon asked, "Can I know what the reason is?" ”

Zhong Yi said: "Because for people like me, Shanghai is simply heaven!" ”

When he said this, Zhong Yi's face was fanatical, and Sassoon knew a little bit about who the other party was.

Because of Zhong Yi at this time, Sassoon naturally thought of those cowboys during the development of the western part of the United States.

There is no doubt that this guy in front of him is another version of the western cowboy, the descendant of a highly educated cowboy who still has a desire to kill in his bones.

Thinking of this, Sassoon couldn't help but hesitate a little.

Is it appropriate to find such an ambitious guy to be the captain of his own personal guard?

But after thinking about it again, Sassoon was relieved again, Shanghai is not the central and western part of the United States after all, especially the public concession and the French concession are already civilized worlds, so this guy should not be as reckless as his ancestors!

And most importantly, the reputation of the western cowboy is actually quite good and loyal!
