Chapter 45 Rong Hong is coming

He personally arranged the food and accommodation of Shen Maocai and others, and Hu Chuyuan wandered around the study of Hu Mansion alone, thinking about ways to break the situation.

The foreigners in Shanghai are just a group of two-way traffickers in the eyes of the bigwigs in the European economic world, but in Shanghai, they hold high the noble theory of white people and extremely discriminate against yellow people.

In order to maintain this nihilistic noble idea, they even banned poor white people from looking for opportunities on the beach.

Hu Chuyuan believes that as long as he can bypass these foreigners on the beach and do business directly with the European and American powers, the situation will be much better.

The problem is that he can't get around at present. In Europe and the United States, he doesn't know anyone.

After thinking about it, Hu Chuyuan decided to let the Xizhen Club come forward to buy silk reeling and silk dyeing equipment.

Tang Yanshu and Sheng Xuanhuai have strangled his place to buy business in Shanghai, and the silk reeling factory and the silk dyeing factory can only be opened in Hangzhou.

It is more realistic to drive in Hangzhou. After all, he has just started a small business, and only needs one set of equipment. There are many small coal mines in the Jin Qu Basin, which are shipped to Hangzhou along the Fuchun River, and the price is also cheap.

The most important thing is tax avoidance.

The tax system of the late Qing Dynasty is a fucking porridge cooked with mouse shit.

He bought silk from Hangzhou and shipped it to Shanghai for dyeing. In the middle, the merchants only paid gold and miscellaneous taxes. For every 100 catties of raw silk, the price was increased by 36 taels of silver, and when he shipped back to Hangzhou, the price was increased by 36 taels of silver.

The dog said.

For nothing else, because raw silk is to be exported, the court relies on it to support the whole family. As for the high cost of raw silk export in China, they will eventually be squeezed out of the world's raw silk export industry. They don't care.

After calculating this account, Hu Chuyuan wrote several letters separately. The first letter was to Nakamura Haosi, talking about the purchase of equipment on behalf of others; the second letter to Zuo Zongtang, talking about his feelings of returning from the Japanese book and the future crisis of the silk industry, and the third letter to He Jing. He Jing asked him to transfer four French-proficient people from Fuzhou Ship Administration School. Students.

People were asked to send out these letters, and Hu Chuyuan continued to study the imitation of Ruo Guade with Xu Shou and others.

A few days later, Hu Chuyuan was busy in the warehouse. The manager Hu Rong hurried in to find him, saying that a Chinese-American had come to him, and he had arrived in the living room of Hu Mansion.

Hu Chuyuan can't help but be a little strange. He doesn't know anyone in the United States.

He immediately returned to the living room. As soon as he entered, he saw a man about 50 years old. He was not tall, wearing a black suit, with flat hair, his hair was slightly white, and his face was black and red.

This person has a good demeanor and a scholarly demeanor. He seems to be a very self-restrained and knowledgeable person.

Hu Chuyuan took a look and arched his hand and said, "I'm Hu Chuyuan. I don't know your name?"

The man smiled and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Hu to be so young. I'm really surprised... Oh, I'm Rong Hong. You wrote me a letter a month ago."

Hu Chuyuan was very surprised and said with a smile, "It turned out to be Mr. Rong. Please sit down, please sit down."

After inviting Rong Hong to sit down, Hu Chuyuan said, "Mr. Rong, why did you come here in person?"

Rong Hong sighed, "I have to come here in person. Mr. Hu's letter is sent to the province of life. Every sentence is said to the deepest part of my heart. Mr. Rong is not only amazed, but also moved and excited. I want to meet Mr. Hu to discuss the issue of saving the country and education together."

Hu Chuyuan nodded silently, asked Rong Hong to drink a cup of tea first, and then said, "The previous days visited Japan for a period of time, and I met several people who were called educators. Compared with the two, I only felt that China was too far behind in education. Although there are many Confucian students, they have no ambition and ability to save the country. I was so impressed that I took the liberty to write a letter to my husband.

Rong Hong said, "Mr. Hu is a giant businessman in China with a rich family business. If I have the support of my son, I can also hold a school in China and do my best for the country. As long as the prince is willing, I am willing to resign from the position of deputy ambassador to the United States with the imperial court and do this matter wholeheartedly!"

"No!"

Hu Chuyuan categorically refused, but said, "I can't run the school I want to open in China. I want to ask Mr. Rong to establish a special school for Chinese in the United States, from middle school to university, and professional technical schools, to form a system. In the early days, the school completely adopted English teaching, and then started joint teaching in Chinese and English according to the supplement of teachers. Students are divided into two parts. One is to study abroad since childhood, and the other is that I set up schools in China and transfer good talents from these schools.

"This... cost?" Rong Hong was both surprised and suspicious.

Hu Chuyuan smiled and said, "Sir, I am a giant merchant in China, and my family business is rich. I still have a little money. All the required funds are personally funded by me. I will allocate 1 million US dollars to you first, and another 300,000 US dollars every year thereafter. As long as my Hu family's property does not fail, this money will not be interrupted.

Rong Hong was shocked and said, "Mr. Hu, you... really... To tell you the truth, before I met you, I also visited some old friends in Shanghai and asked them about your personality and situation. Unexpectedly, what they said were all negative words. Now that I really meet you, I know that they compare with you. It's simply the difference between heaven and earth. How do you know about the ambition of the bird?

Hu Chuyuan smiled bitterly. Needless to ask, he knew who Rong Hong had met.

Nowadays, Tang Yanshu and Xu Run are known for their education in Shanghai. These two people are extremely disdainful of him.

He said, "In business, the real wealth among Chinese businessmen is nothing more than salt merchants, silk merchants and official merchants. I take care of both. I eat a lot of each piece, and of course there are more people who offend me. Don't pay attention to their words, sir. As the saying goes, they don't work together. They don't understand the great cause I'm going to hold, so I don't plan to communicate with them more.

Rong Hong smiled and said, "Yes, businessman... Alas, it's worthwhile for me to see you today. To tell the truth, when I see you, I can't help but wonder who wrote the article "On the Education of the Nation" from. Now it's certain. Except for you, no one else can write it!"

Hu Chuyuan pondered for a moment and sighed, "That's also what I feel!"

In fact, there are a lot of puzzles in Hu Chuyuan's heart. He doesn't understand why there are some overseas students in China so far. Why haven't they become an opportunity? Why don't they take the establishment of education as their responsibility?

In the United States, there are 122 young children studying in the United States in China. These people have lived in the United States since childhood and received Western education. Why haven't they even achieved good results?

Why did China's revolutionary cause originate from international students who went to Japan in the later period?

Add: (The Qing Dynasty will definitely be overthrown. I really don't know how to write this to ensure China's silk and tea economy, and to be eager to overthrow the Manchu Qing regime. Can the protagonist overthrow the Qing Dynasty in a few years and ensure that there is no war in the south of the Yangtze River?)

(The protagonist's idea is to first ensure the foundation of China's economy, that is, raw silk and tea, and then consider the problem of Manqing)

(Pan Limei is Chinese, not mixed-race)

(Limited to my personal level and cultural level, this book does have a lot of low-level mistakes, and I haven't written it well. I just hope you don't scold too much. If you don't like it or are unhappy, one personal attack should be enough. There is really no need to attack a few times... It's quite hurtful.)

(I don't have any requirements for this book. I just want to write a late Qing Dynasty to satisfy some of my inner thoughts. Now it seems to be a very wrong decision. The good news is that I will only write a late Qing Dynasty novel, and it will only be the last time to write a historical novel.)

(There are too many masters in the history channel, and the level of readers is very high. I really can't measure myself!)

(So, I'm sorry, I can't satisfy everyone!!)
