Chapter 46 About young children in the United States

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many things in his hand, Hu Chuyuan really wanted to go to the United States now. Take a close look at the young children studying in the United States and sort out the problems inside.

Why... Among the 122 young children studying in the United States, there is no revolutionary, an educator, and the highest achievement is only Zhan Tianyou, Tang Guoan and others.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking Rong Hong, "How are the young people our country sent to study in the United States? Is their study in the United States going well?"

Hearing this, Rong Hong couldn't help sighing and said, "When I come back this time, I just want to discuss this matter with some friends in China. These children are very serious about studying in the United States, but after all, they have lived in the United States for a long time, and their style is slightly impetuous, but after all, they are young, and Wu Zideng, the superintendent, is extremely disgusted with this. Even the ambassador to the United States, Lord Chen Lanbin, has repeatedly scolded him. I think what they mean is that they want to give up halfway and send the children back to China.

Hu Chuyuan said angrily, "How can this be?"

Rong Hong said, "Yes, so I want to go back to Tianjin and talk about this with Li Hongzhang and Li Zhongtang!"

"Alas!" Hu Chuyuan sighed and said, "By the way, I have always felt a little strange. In terms of financial resources, I am not the first in China, and at least in the top ten. Those who can be compared with me in terms of financial resources and power are about Qiao's family in Shanxi, Tang, Xu and Sheng in Shanghai, Liu, Zhang, Pang and Gu Sixiang in Nanxun, Huzhou, and Pan and Yan Erxing in Guangdong. In Shanghai, there are more and more criticisms against me, and there are always articles in it.

Rong Hong didn't understand and asked, "Do you mean...?"

Hu Chuyuan said, "Maybe I take the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but I believe that someone must have hurt me behind my back under the banner of Li Zhongtang and want to expel me from the beach. You know, if I can't gain a foothold in Shanghai, sooner or later, the operation of Jiangnan Commercial Bank and Fukang Qianzhuang will have problems, and I can't further get involved in the silk industry and tea, and even the local industry in Shanghai. The profits in it are huge, and of course they don't want me to come.

Rong Hong sighed, "If a big businessman like you fights inside, it is more fierce and fierce than the officialdom of the Qing court. For the sake of China's education, I hope you can gain a firm foothold and not be defeated by these businessmen who only care about their own business. As for Li Zhongtang, I don't think he is so stingy. After all, he is also a Chinese prime minister!"

Hu Chuyuan nodded silently and said, "It's not that he is not so stingy, but he doesn't care about me at the present, otherwise... I would have died long ago. But after all, someone is doing something under his name, otherwise, those people can't make such a big noise.

Business integration!

Hu Chuyuan knew that the source of the matter was politics. Through Tang Yanshu, Xu Run, Sheng Xuanhuai and Zheng Guanying, Li Hongzhang's power in Shanghai is very amazing. Almost all the official enterprises in Shanghai are his Huai forces.

What about him?

Where is Hu Chuyuan?

undoubtedly represents the Hunan system.

How can we give Hunan officials and businessmen room to gain a foothold in Shanghai?

Hu Chuyuan can only smile bitterly and said to Rong Hong, "The matter of Chen Lanbin and Wu Zideng, don't rush to move around, leave it to me. You are not a master of politics, but there are such professionals in my staff. What's more, even if I can't start the situation, I can use money to deal with it. Don't worry too much."

Rong Hong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'm relieved. In addition, I still want to talk about the establishment of a university in the United States. I know several high-ranking Chinese in the United States, and they may also be able to help. I don't know if you still know the Wu family?

Hu Chuyuan was a little surprised and said, "The Wu family? Is it the Wu family of the thirteenth line in Guangdong?

Rong Hong said, "Yes, the Wu Bingjian family in the era of the thirteen elements of Guangdong. In his later years, Wu Bingjian planned to emigrate overseas, but he was hindered by the court and failed to make it in the end. His second son, Wu Zhenbang, immigrated to the United States with the help of Mr. Russell, the founder of Qichang Yangxing. In addition to Wu Zhenbang, his son-in-law, Wu Jingkang, the youngest son of Wu Tianyuan of the Thirteenth Bank, also immigrated to the United States together. The two families have lived in Boston for nearly 30 years and opened Hanhua Bank to invest in the American financial industry. To this day, they still retain 24% of the original shares in the U.S. flag.

Hu Chuyuan suddenly lit up in his heart and found a way to crack the bullying of foreign banks. He said, "Are they willing to invest in universities?"

Rong Hong said, "Of course, they and the Russell family have always been in Boston and are important sponsors of Yale University. I was able to study at Yale University thanks to Mr. Russell's care. With their support, Yale University will also recruit more young children studying in the United States.

Hu Chuyuan smiled and said, "Okay, please contact me for me. If they want, I would like to invest in the education of this nation with them!"

Rong Hong smiled and said, "I have brought the letter Mr. Wu to you... I'm sorry, I was so excited to send your "On the Education of the Nation" to Mr. Wu in private. This time, I came here, and I was also entrusted by him to interview you to discuss the major events of rejuvenating the country!"

With that, Rong Hong took out a letter from his briefcase.

Hu Chuyuan was secretly happy and immediately opened the letter to read.

When the Wu family immigrated, the main property was seized by the governor of Guangdong. When they first arrived in the United States, they could only rely on the dividends of Qichang Yanghang.

After the dissolution of the British East India Company, all the company's capital was used to repay its debts, and the Wu family was precisely one of the main creditors of the East India Company, resulting in more than 4 million pounds in assets.

It is relying on this asset that Wu Zhenbang and his brother-in-law Wu Jingkang run Hanhua Bank together, which also benefited from the great development of the United States. Over the years, they have always made a lot of benefits.

Although the property is getting richer and richer, as soon as he sees that the United States is becoming more and more prosperous and China is declining, his heart is full of mixed feelings.

However, Wu Zhenbang can't return to China.

Shortly after Wu Bingjian's death, Qi Ying, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Xu Guangjin, the governor of Guangdong, secretly plotted his money to prevent Wu from living overseas. They investigated all the assets of the Wu family and confiscated them.

According to the Qing law, the East India debt inherited by Wu Zhenbang should also belong to the Qing court.

Wu Zhenbang could only write to Hu Chuyuan, saying that he funded it and worked with Hu Chuyuan to start a new school in China and start a cause of national education.

After reading the letter, Hu Chuyuan slowly folded the letter and said to Rong Hong, "It is very limited to run a new school in China, so be more careful. Mr. Rong, please go back and tell Mr. Wu that he is still planning to set up this university in the United States. I will contribute with him, and you will be responsible for it. In addition, you have to discuss one more thing with him when you go back!"

Rong Hong asked, "What's the matter?"
