Yes, he was good.
My grandfather in Shanghai used to be in business with a German Jew and a White Russian.

Just that it was interesting to learn from my father that my grandfather went into business in Shanghai with, basically two refugees of different regions and times, one from the bolshevik revolution in 1917, and the other from Nazi Germany in 1935.
