Very soon the branch office was founded at Tientsin, occupying the wharves formerly belonging to Hambury Steamship Co. Ever since its establishment, this company under the managership of Mr. Lee, has been playing an important part in the China sea coast navigation service. In the spring of 1921, Mr. Lee accepted another concurrent post as manager of the Tientsin office of the Industrial Development Bank of China.

In September 1924 he rejoined the China-American Trading Co.
