The Literary Hero of the Republic of China (民国之文豪) [MTL]

Chapter 154

　　Huo Ying is very clear that the Japanese can make those businessmen who have signed contracts with him break the contract, and they must compensate these people.

　　And now, he wants this compensation.

　　In addition, he can't let these people buy the goods from Japan.

　　"You should all be aware of the conflict between me and the Japanese. The businessmen in your country signed a contract with me, but turned around and bought goods from the Japanese again. This is harming me." Huo Ying said: "Even if you throw away Xilin, I will not sell to those who harm me! I will not sell to those who cooperate with the Japanese!"

　　"Mr. Huo, this is the personal behavior of those businessmen and has nothing to do with us." The British consulate said: "Don't worry, we will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

　　"Then let's talk about Xilin after we explain it." Huo Ying insisted.

　　People from Britain and France who came over had to leave first.

　　They didn't show anything in front of Huo Ying, but after leaving, they became angry.

　　A few of them were young and energetic, and they were even more aggrieved: "Huo Ying is a bastard!"

　　"Shit!"

　　"He didn't pay attention to us at all!"

　　They talked for a long time, and the older ones stopped them: "It's meaningless to talk about it now. You just need to remember one thing - we must buy Xilin."

　　A few years ago, Huo Ying had something they wanted, and with this attitude towards them, they must have directly mobilized troops to grab it.

　　But now they can't do it...the war in Europe is holding them back.

　　Fortunately, Huo Ying was not unwilling to sell.

　　After they went back, they started to investigate this matter, and figured out the situation at the first time, and then... they understood Huo Ying a little bit, and they were not so angry anymore.

　　Those businessmen from their countries who signed contracts with Huo Ying all signed contracts with the Japanese, and even kept it a secret from Huo Ying.

　　They can guess what the Japanese are up to. These guys must want to make Huo Ying's goods rotten in their hands and cannot be sold, and if that happens, Huo Ying may go bankrupt.

　　After discovering this, the people of Britain and France are not angry with Huo Ying, but they are increasingly disliked by Japan.

　　If it weren't for those Japanese, they might have already bought Xilin by now!

　　The people in the consulate discussed it, and immediately found those British and French businessmen who had signed contracts with Huo Ying.

　　In order to deceive Huo Ying, the Japanese side did not let these businessmen leave Shanghai, and even used Shanghai as the place of delivery. Therefore, at this time, these businessmen are still in a place like Shanghai Bund.

　　When they were found, they didn't know why, and then they were told that they had to buy the goods in Huo Ying's hands, and even gave Huo Ying some compensation.

　　These businessmen were puzzled and dissatisfied with such a request: "Why?" Behind some of them, there were big consortiums and nobles, so they didn't need to listen to the orders of the consulate.

　　"Huo Ying has Xilin in his hands. If this matter is not resolved, he will not sell Xilin to us!" The consulate said, and at the same time explained the role of Xilin.
