Infinite Movie World

Chapter 91 Smith

Swire Pacific belongs to the East India Trading Company. 【Note 1】

Anyone who has studied modern history knows that the East India Trading Company is not a serious company at all, but a group of transnational criminal groups composed of invaders and predators.

They can call themselves companies because they are protected by foreigners' laws.

They did not plunder foreigners, but only plundered Southeast Asian countries, Africa, India, and Chinese.

Swire Pacific is a branch of the East India Trading Company, which specializes in "managing" the Tang Dynasty area.

They started their business by selling black slaves in the early days, and accumulated a lot of capital through selling slaves. Later, the black slave business stopped making money, and they went to the country of the Tang people, and started selling tobacco cream again.

At that time, the Qing government realized the harmfulness of tobacco paste, so it banned it vigorously, and did not allow Swire Pacific to trade in tobacco paste.

This annoyed the foreigners. They used the Qing government's restriction of free trade as an excuse to open the country's door with strong ships and guns.

The dilapidated Qing court was trembling.

Since then, no one in the Qing court has dared to stop Swire & Co. from selling tobacco ointment.

Tobacco ointment is something that will become addictive. People who smoke ointment can exhaust it within a few months even if they have thousands of fortunes.

It is simply impossible to quit.

Swire Pacific earned a large amount of silver from the Tang people through the tobacco paste business, and completed their huge capital accumulation.

Later, after the Second World War, when the people of Tang stood up completely, the bad-smelling Taikoo International Co., Ltd. transformed itself again, got rid of the name of the East India Trading Company, and used a large amount of capital in their own hands to pretend to be serious businessmen. With Hong Kong Island as its base camp, Tang Ren’s real estate and airlines were purchased everywhere, and a bank called "HSBC" was also specially established.

The notorious "Cathay Pacific Airways" is theirs. 【Note 2】

They have entrenched on the land of the Tang people for hundreds of years, sucking the blood of the Tang people, washing the brains of the Tang people, and secretly doing things that disrupt the order of the Tang people.

When Xufeng heard about Taigu Foreign Firm, a burst of anger instantly ignited in his heart.

But he clearly realized that he couldn't get angry at this time, and with his own strength, he couldn't change anything. Even if he killed this Smith today, there would be a second Smith who would replace him as the director of Swire Pacific.

……calm.

The first task is to reveal the cause of Huo Yuanjia's death and get the task item "poisonous crocodile meat"!
Then, just find a way to trigger the reward task and improve your strength level as soon as possible!
Xufeng took a deep breath and suppressed her anger, but she still couldn't completely conceal the murderous look in her eyes.

Nong Jinsun next to him felt Xufeng's murderous aura, and was a little confused.

After all, he didn't know the details of Taigu Foreign Firm, and thought that Taikoo Foreign Firm was really in business.

Smith couldn't help frowning. He thought that after hearing his name, Xufeng would be like other Tang people, wishing to kneel down and kowtow to him, but unexpectedly, Xufeng's expression became Even more terrifying.

Nong Jinsun quickly smoothed things over and said, "Afeng! It's a way to save face for me. Let's sit in the box together."

Xufeng nodded calmly, "Okay, I also want to hear what this guy wants to do——Photon."

Mitsuko Yamada hurried over, bowed and said, "Hello, Uncle Nong."

She didn't come up before because she didn't want to disturb the conversation between the men out of politeness.

Nong Jinsun was taken aback for a moment, he thought this girl looked familiar, but he couldn't remember it.

Xu Feng smiled lightly and said: "Uncle Nong, this is Miss Mitsuko Yamada."

"Nephew Afeng, why are you...with a woman from Sang Country?" Nong Jinsun said with displeasure on his face.

"Because I'm Guangzi's bodyguard." Xufeng said unabashedly.

"Bodyguard?" Nong Jinsun frowned and said, "Afeng, if you are short of money, just tell Uncle Nong that Uncle Nong has nothing else, but you still have some money."

Xufeng smiled faintly, "Uncle Nong, it's not a matter of money or not, I promise to protect Guangzi, not to mention, she is my future sister-in-law."

Nong Jinsun asked in surprise, "Sister-in-law, don't you mean..."

He had a vague premonition in his heart.

Xufeng said with a smile: "That's right, she is my true brother's girlfriend."

"Ah." Nong Jinsun frowned suddenly, "Chen Zhen is really..."

Senior Sister Xiaohui already knew about this matter, and Nong Jinsun would naturally know about it when she returned to Jingwumen, so Xufeng didn't hide anything from Nong Jinsun, on the contrary, speaking out so openly and honestly could make Yamada Mitsuko more relaxed Some.

Smith on the side cleared his throat and said in a cold voice, "Everyone, let's chat in the box."

"Okay." Nong Jinsun nodded quickly.

Xufeng also took Yamada Mitsuko and walked to the box together.

After being seated, the manager of the restaurant came up to serve in person. Smith ordered a Western-style steak and some side dishes, and then pushed the menu to Nong Jinsun.

Nong Jinsun also ordered a Western-style steak for a token.

When it was Xufeng's turn, Xufeng waved her hand, "I'm full."

Smith smiled and said, "Mr. Xufeng, since you don't want to eat, why don't you have some wine?"

Xufeng folded her arms in front of her body and said coldly: "Don't drink."

He hated Smith extremely in his heart, so he didn't want to eat any of Smith's treats.

Smith's face was a little embarrassed, "...Mr. Xufeng, I have heard about your master Huang Feihong for a long time. He has great influence in the south. I really want to do business with him. I wonder if you can help me. Would you recommend me?"

Xufeng smiled coldly: "My master is a martial artist, a doctor, not a businessman."

Smith laughed and said: "Who is born a businessman? I was a soldier before, but whether it is a martial artist, a doctor, or a soldier, money is inseparable from it. I heard that your master likes to see a doctor for free, which costs money. A lot of money, if he can cooperate with me to make money, wouldn't he be able to save more people for free?"

Nong Jinsun next to him nodded heavily, "It makes sense!"

Smith grinned and said: "Look, Mr. Nong is a smart person. Mr. Nong has very mature channels in Southeast Asia, and he also has the well-known Fist of Fury as his backing. If Mr. Nong cooperates with me, the money he earns will be reused." In Jingwumen, Jingwumen will become the number one gate in the Tang Dynasty in a short time!"

Nong Jinsun couldn't help being a little excited, and raised his glass to pay tribute to Smith.

Xufeng always had a sneer on his face, he knew what Swire Pacific did, so no matter how gaudy Smith said, Xufeng would not be moved.

[Note 1] The East India Trading Company is a proxy name. In order to avoid shielding, a word "du" was omitted.

[Note 2] The introduction about Cathay Pacific is true. Its major shareholder is Swire Pacific during the Opium War, which is today's Swire Group.Why is Cathay Pacific so infamous?Because their employees are obviously Chinese, but they look down on mainlanders, feel that they are superior, deliberately make things difficult for mainland passengers, and deliberately only speak English and not Mandarin.Of course, their misdeeds don't stop there, so I won't talk about them here.

There are historical hatreds that we can forgive and condone, but even if fully forgiven, we should not forget them.
