Then, on the same day, the two sons of the owner of Universal Silver Exchange were all kidnapped.
Reluctantly, Universal Silver Exchange sold this piece of land to Jardine Matheson to raise funds and redeemed his two sons.
At the time, there were many doubts about this incident. First of all, the owner of Universal Silver Exchange was financially capable of raising the ransom, and even if he had cash flow difficulties, some merchants from Magic Capital in Hong Kong were willing to raise funds for him, yet the owner chose to sell his piece of land to Jardine Matheson to raise funds to rescue his sons.
He Dong was very clear about the reasons behind these doubts, as the two sons of Universal Silver Exchange's owner were captured by people he sent.
Eventually, the situation of Zhao's Shipping became similar to that of Feng's Shipping, as Zhao's Shipping affected Jardine Matheson's business.
