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 newspaper.

Yes, you read that right, Sassoon drinks morning tea.

For Sassoon, or most of the aristocracy of Shanghai, day and night were reversed.

Because the essence of night Shanghai lies in the rich and colorful nightlife, and the rich and colorful nightlife will start after eight o'clock in the night, and will enter the climax at ten o'clock, until two or three o'clock in the morning of the next day, it will end one after another, and then it is the time to rest, until the afternoon to get up and wash up and start a new day.

Sassoon first looked through the Ta Kung Pao and the declaration, but found no interesting articles.

Looking through the Milladee Review again, I didn't see any eye-catching articles.

Even after flipping through the newspapers for a few minutes and not finding anything of interest, Sassoon immediately lost interest in reading the newspaper, and casually pushed the stack of newspapers in front of him to the side.

When the housekeeper standing next to him saw it, he immediately whispered: "Master, the Damei Evening News may have an article that interests you." ”

"Oh, really?" When Sassoon heard this, he took the newspaper back again, then flipped out the Damei Evening News, opened the front page, and immediately saw a photo.

In the newspaper, Fujita's face was not clear, but Sassoon recognized it at a glance.

Nothing else, it's really because Tsuyoshi Fujita left too much of an impression on Sassoon! Unforgettable in this life!

Almost a month ago, a mysterious small Japanese army was stationed in Shanghai, and the Shanghai Military Police Headquarters specially arranged a welcome dinner for this purpose, and it was at this dinner that Fujita Tsuyoshi clashed with Sassoon's bodyguards, and then the two sides had an open fight in front of the senior generals of the Japanese garrison and envoys from various countries.

Sassoon originally thought that his bodyguards would definitely win, because his two bodyguards were both Russians and were big guys over two meters tall, while Fujita Tsuyoshi was not even one meter seven tall, and the weight and strength of the two sides were not on the same plane at all, so his bodyguards would win this fight without any suspense.

However, the end result surprised everyone.

Sassoon's bodyguards not only lost the fight, but even gave their lives.

The two bodyguards, in front of everyone, were successively twisted off their necks by Tsuyoshi Fujita.

Because of this, Sassoon was very faceless, but it also made him remember Tsuyoshi Fujita.

So now, seeing that Fujita Tsuyoshi was actually knocked down, Sassoon's surprise can be imagined.

"Wow, isn't this dwarf lying on the ground Tsuyoshi Fujita?" Sassoon cried out, "Who is this?" Can you actually knock Tsuyoshi Fujita down? God, where did this man come from? Oh, God! ”

The housekeeper smiled slightly and said, "Master, don't you read the article?" ”

"It's me who is confused." Sassoon patted his head lightly and looked at the article at a glance.

It's just that the information provided in the article is also very limited, only that he is a Mi countryman, and he doesn't even mention his name, but this is not a problem for Sassoon.

As the richest man in Shanghai, Sassoon only needs one thought to find out this person.

At that moment, Sassoon put down the newspaper and said to the butler, "David, find him and bring him to me!" ”

The butler said that it was an obvious fact that Master Sassoon had developed a strong interest in this Mi man who could defeat Tsuyoshi Fujita.

……

After breakfast, Sassoon went back to his large office to attend to his business.

As early as more than 20 years ago, Sassoon had inherited Sassoon & Co., founded by his father, and later founded a number of companies such as Chinachem & Co., Amway, and Yeguang Real Estate Co., Ltd.

It was busy until the evening when the housekeeper David knocked on the door and came in and said, "Master, it's time to go to Hongkou." ”

Tonight, there was a dance party at the Great East Asia Hotel in Hongkou, which was specially organized by the Japanese military police headquarters to welcome the Ishii troops, and Sassoon did not know what the Ishii troops were doing, but he did not dare to refuse the invitation of the Japanese military police headquarters too harshly, after all, most of Shanghai had already fallen into the hands of the Japanese soldiers.

If Sassoon wants to maintain its business in Shanghai, it must have good relations with the Japanese.

Sassoon got up and changed his clothes, and deliberately chose a tuxedo, and then boarded his limited-edition Mercedes-Benz sedan, protected by four other ordinary cars, from Beijing Road all the way west to the intersection of Buntang Lane Bridge.

At this time, the Buntang Lane Bridge had long been closed and locked, but who was Sassoon?

Just lit up the invitation card, and the British and Japanese troops guarding the two ends of the bridge in Buntang Lane hurriedly let them go.

Along the way, Sassoon's convoy arrived at the gate of the Great East Asia Hotel.

When he got out of the car, Sassoon saw at a glance the Minister of the United States Commodus who was standing at the gate of the hotel and greeting his friends.

Sassoon had a general relationship with Commodus, and he didn't want to come forward to say hello, but when he glanced at it, he saw the young man standing on Commod's right hand.

Suddenly, Sassoon's eyes lit up.

Because this young man is none other than him, he is the one published on the front page of the Damei Evening News, the one who defeated Tsuyoshi Fujita in one round!

Sassoon originally wanted the housekeeper to find someone.

Now I don't need to look for it, I just ran into it.

At that moment, Sassoon smiled and stepped forward to Commodus and said, "Your Excellency, we meet again. ”

"Sir Sassoon." According to Western etiquette, Commodus tilted his head slightly, and said, "Good evening." ”

Sassoon's gaze naturally fell on the young man beside Commodus, and asked with a smile, "Who is this one?" ”

"Oh, this is a little fellow of mine who just came to Shanghai from Connecticut." After Commodus finished speaking, he turned back to Zhong Yi beside him and said, "George, this is Sir Sassoon Victor, the richest man in Shanghai. ”

"The richest man in Shanghai is loved by friends." Sassoon waved his hand, reached out and shook Zhong Yi gently, and said, "Mr. George, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Zhong Yi showed the right amount of excitement on his face, and said in English: "Sir Sassoon, I'm also glad to meet you. ”

Sassoon smiled slightly, and then asked with concern: "Mr. George, you just came to Shanghai from Connecticut, have you ever found the job you want?" If you need anything, you can always come to me at the Sassoon Building, this is my business card. ”

After speaking, Sassoon snapped his fingers, and the housekeeper behind him took out a gilded business card and respectfully handed it to Zhong Yi.

Commodus smiled and said, "George, don't hurry up and thank Sir Sassoon." ”

Zhong Yi said excitedly: "Thank you, sir." ”
