Chapter 665 Sassoon, You Are the One Who Arrested (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
In the early morning, as usual, Jacob Elias Sassoon, the boss of the Sassoon company, left his villa in Yuntai Mountain in a carriage after having breakfast.

"...Chinese people's local opium production is getting higher and higher, which has a great impact on our market. I found that last month, our opium sales decreased by more than 15% compared with the same period last year."

On the way, listening to Hartung's report, Jacob just nodded his head from time to time. He admired Hartung, a young man in his twenties, otherwise he would not have done so in just one year. Promoted him several times.

Of course, another reason is that he is also from Baghdad, and the Sassoon family is also from Baghdad.Affected by the Ottoman anti-Semitism trend, he fled to Mumbai, India almost twenty years ago. Two years ago, he came to Hong Kong alone. In the second year, he moved to Haizhou and worked for Sassoon. Gained Jacob's trust.

After all, they are all Jews, and Jews always want to help each other. Of course, even though they are Jews, the Sassoon family is a famous family. The history of their family can be traced back to the Canaan period. The Xun family dispersed to Baghdad.

And Hartung?

It's just an ordinary Jewish background, and it's a very poor one, but he is a very smart and good at learning guy.

"Earth medicine!"

Jacob opened his eyes and said.

"The Chinese call it local medicine, and their government even formulated a corresponding policy-trying to use local medicine to drive out foreign medicine, that is, the opium we shipped from India. Compared with local medicine, Indian opium is of better quality and more Popular with the rich, and as for homegrown medicines, all poor people can afford to smoke them, but with opium, the rich always end up poor, unless they grow their own..."

While speaking, Jacob tapped his fingers. Over the years, the Qing people have been promoting the development of their opium cultivation, and even their government is encouraging the people to grow opium, because growing opium can earn more taxes.

The rise of the so-called "local medicine" has naturally affected his business. After all, the price of "foreign medicine" is not cheap.

"Hatong, we have to find a way to take advantage of the train to transport our opium as far as possible inland and further expand our market. Of course, compared with local medicine, the biggest advantage of foreign medicine is that the tariff is low, and there are no opium along the way. Lijin, so there is no need to worry about the impact of the local medicine, this impact has a very limited impact on us."

Thanks to the British Empire, how could they have made such a huge profit on this land without the many privileges that the British Empire has here.

"Yes, sir, but I think, can we buy local medicine, and then process it, such as cellar fermentation, improve its quality, and then sell it to the Chinese?"

Hartung's proposal was of course...rejected, because the Sassoon family has a large opium plantation in India, how could they cut off their money?

In another world, Hartung finally left Sassoon, relying on the acquisition of domestic "local medicine" for further processing, and in just a dozen years, he became as rich as Sassoon.

The fundamental reason why Hartung chose "local medicine" was because he did not have his own supply chain. In order to be able to compete with other banks, he chose "local medicine".

He also took advantage of the many privileges of foreigners to further expand the market for "local medicine". It can even be said that it was with his efforts that the "localization of opium" that I had dreamed of for many years in the Qing Dynasty was finally realized.

Since then, silver will never flow out again, as for poisoning the bodies of the people?They have never considered at all that the people's bodies are not as important as money. .

Of course, now, Hartung is just a staff member who has just entered a foreign firm.

"The car is coming, signal!"

Li Chengliang, who was standing on the side of the road, saw the carriage of Sassoon & Co., and immediately gestured to his subordinates not far away. The team members on the side of the road quickly took out their mirrors and flashed a flashing signal facing the sun in the other direction of the mountain road .

"Ready for action!"

After receiving the signal, Zhang Wenjie drove the carriage across the middle of the carriage, creating a car accident scene where the carriage hit people, and several other team members hid in the woods beside the road.

For the passengers in the car, of course they didn't know that someone was waiting for them in front of them. Even the two Indian bodyguards standing behind the carriage stood behind the carriage as usual, without any vigilance at all.

Why be wary?
No matter whether it is inside or outside the concession, no one will provoke foreigners, and provoking foreigners is more troublesome than offending adults.

In my Qing Dynasty, there were always first-class foreigners and second-class officials. As for ordinary people, they were not human beings.

Ah San from India is also a foreigner.

When the carriage driver saw a car blocking the way ahead, he stopped the carriage quickly.The moment the carriage stopped, the four rangers on the side of the road immediately pulled the triggers of the crossbows, and the four sharp arrows whizzed towards the Indian bodyguard who had just jumped out of the carriage.
"what……"

The two Indian bodyguards even came and let out a scream, and they fell down.

Before the coachman could react, someone came out from the side of the road with a gun, and pointed the black muzzle at him.
"Sir, sir..."

When the coachman desperately wanted to warn, another team member pulled the trigger of the crossbow.

With a sound of "嗖...", the arrow accurately penetrated his chest. When the coachman fell off the carriage, Jacob opened the curtain of the carriage with his cane, and then he saw a Chinese person appearing in the carriage. outside.

"what happened?"

The car door opened, and Zhang Wenjie pointed a pistol at him.

Hartung yelled immediately.

"Who are you? Don't you know who we are?"

Zhang Wenjie asked.

"Are you Jacob Elias Sassoon? Now you're under arrest!"

"What, what did you say? Who are you?"

Jacob, who has been in China for more than [-] years, of course can speak Chinese, and he can understand it, but when he heard this sentence, it was like listening to heaven, arrest?

Is he joking?
arrest?

Who are they and what power do they have to arrest him!
"What power do you have, whose subordinates are you, I am the director of the concession, you bloody yellow-skinned monkeys!"

Jacob shouted a little excitedly.

"Do you know who I am? I am Sassoon! Jacob Elias Sassoon!"

No wonder he was so excited, he was Sassoon!He is the king of the concession, the most powerful man in the British concession, how dare they arrest him?

Don't say that he didn't commit a crime, even if he killed someone and set fire to it, for him, he didn't need to pay any price.

And now?

A Chinese stood in front of him and actually said that he would be arrested!
It was a joke, no, it was a joke, but Jacob couldn't laugh because he felt ignored!
It's not ignorance, it's contempt, who is joking with him?
Why is this guy so arrogant?

A tablet dealer was arrested, and he was so arrogant.It's just insulting them!
Feeling that the dignity of being a policeman was insulted by the opium dealer, Zhang Wenjie grabbed him by the neck and slapped him, lifting him up like a chicken, and slapping Jacob left and right. Jin Xing, he was completely dumbfounded.

Amidst the slaps, Hartong was also dumbfounded. He never thought that one day someone would dare to slap Mr. Sassoon!

He is Mr. Sassoon.

How dare you hit him?

These people are too violent. In the face of these wolf-like Chinese, Hartung was too scared to speak. After all, he was born at the bottom and knew very well, what is time-consciousness?
"Snapped!"

After several slaps, Zhang Wenjie said loudly.

"Boy, you are the one who caught you!"
