Chapter 47 The beach is not his world
For the current United States, Hu Chuyuan is worried not only about young children in the United States, but also another thing that has a far-reaching impact on China, which is the infamous Chinese Exclusiment Act.
Hu Chuyuan and Rong Hong asked, "Although I am in China, I like to let people collect newspapers and translate information from various countries. According to what I heard, the current trend of Chinese exclusion in the United States is getting more and more intense. Is there really such a thing?
Rong Hong sighed: "It's true. Although the Wu family's financial resources are not low, they can only rely on the Russell family to take care of it. Among the shares of Hanhua Bank itself, the Wu family and the Wu family occupy most of the shares, but the members of the Russell family are the management. The reason for this is precisely that Americans exclude China and discriminate against Chinese and Asians.
Hu Chuyuan said, "I'm afraid that this matter will eventually have a very bad impact on the Chinese at home and the United States. I want to pay another sum of money. After returning to the United States, I will operate well, set up the National Chinese Association, donate political expenses to American politicians, and lobby American lawmakers. In addition, the National Chinese Association is also responsible for safeguarding the rights and interests of Chinese Americans.
"Huh... Mr. Hu?"
Rong Hong really didn't expect that Hu Chuyuan, who was less than 20 years old, would be idle to take care of these things and find countermeasures.
This is really weird!
After a little thought, Rong Hong said, "This matter is even more incumbent on me, but the key is to Ambassador Chen Lanbin. He is indifferent to this. He also said that the Chinese should be sent back to China to avoid the insult of outsiders and affect the image of the Qing Dynasty."
"This...!" Hu Chuyuan didn't know what to say. Chen Lanbin was not a mediocre Qing Dynasty official, but... constrained by his education and thoughts, and controlled by this era, it is not surprising that he said such words.
Hu Chuyuan thought for a moment and said to Rong Hong, "Lord Chen, I'll figure it out. You can first get a sum of money from me back to the United States to operate the All-American Chinese Association. Through the association, you can defend your rights and fund Chinese youth to study. The association will also set up a school and provide political donations to the more open-up American political parties."
Rong Hong said, "Then we can only donate to the moderates and radical factions in the Republican Party first. At present, a new round of presidential election is coming. It is said that the Republican Party intends to let the leader of the moderates, former President Grant, take office for the third time. With his achievements in the Civil War, his surname may still be very large."
Hu Chuyuan said, but said, "As long as it is a possible Republican elector, the National Chinese Association will pay a sum of money. The number is the same, and it doesn't have to be too high. After the final decision of the Republican electors, the association will make a large-scale donation. Investment politics is a good business... The premise is that you invest in the right person.
Rong Hong nodded silently and said, "This time I met Mr. Hu and talked about it in detail. Rong also benefited a lot and benefited a lot! Unfortunately, I haven't met a second person like you in China. I think this may be your luck and the tragedy of the motherland.
Hu Chuyuan couldn't laugh.
Seeing that it was already noon, he left Rong Hong for lunch and talked about the establishment of the school in more detail.
Although Chinese Americans are currently mainly gathered in San Francisco, the earlier immigrants and richer immigrants are in Boston. Rong Hong wants to locate the headquarters and school of the National Chinese Association in Boston.
Hu Chuyuan has other ideas. He wants to arrange in the San Francisco area to consider the possible impact of the San Francisco earthquake. He hopes to be located in Auckland. The problem is that the current Auckland is still a small market town with insufficient facilities.
In the end, Hu Chuyuan agreed to Rong Hong's suggestion to temporarily open a middle school in Boston, and then slowly consider moving to San Francisco.
On the other hand, Hu Chuyuan set up some middle schools in China, and gradually selected smarter and better-based students to send them to the United States for further study. He also set up a foreign literature hall that uses all foreign language textbooks, focusing more on sending international students abroad.
Rong Hong has lived in Hu Mansion for a few days and has been discussing with Hu Chuyuan about running a school and the Chinese Association.
He also introduced Hu Chuyuan to the senior partner of the American Qichang Yanghang, the Shanghai Daban Jin Nengheng of the Qichang Yanghang, who also served as the director of the British and American public concession and the representative of the U.S. consul in Shanghai.
This person's position in Shanghai is very important, but compared with those at the headquarters of Qichang Yanghang, it is insignificant.
Qichang Yanghang is a very special enterprise. Its founder, Samuel Russell, is the founder of the Russell family, and Russell's cousin, William Russell, is the founder of the Yale University Skull Club in the United States. Throughout the history of Qichang Yanghang, Warren Delano Jr. and others have appeared one after another.
Warren Delano Jr. once served as a big class (general manager) in Guangzhou Qichang Yanghang, in charge of the business of Guangzhou and Hong Kong. His grandson is President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The reason why Roosevelt worked as a lawyer in the Chinese court in his early years was precisely because of the Russell family and the Wu family. There are inextricable close ties.
Hanhua Bank was able to obtain original shareholder equity in the Federal Reserve and also benefited from the traditional influence of the Russell family in early American politics.
Obviously, Jin Neng-hyung has also been taken care of by others. Although he came to meet Hu Chuyuan, he avoided talking about business matters.
Hu Chuyuan didn't care.
After sending Rong Hong away, Hu Chuyuan continued to toss around Ruo Guade's imitation work with Xu Shou and others. However, in just more than ten days, the wave of Shanghai businessmen crowding him became more and more intense. They all said that if Hu Chuyuan did not get out of the beach, he would not do business with Fukang Qianzhuang and Jiangnan merchants. Some people even threatened to find some Shanghai's flow. The hooligan tycoon picked him up and asked Hu Chuyuan to walk in vertically and carry him back horizontally.
In a few days, the number of hooligans wandering near the Hu Mansion increased significantly, and the concession patrol houses had to strengthen patrols in this area.
Fukang Qianzhuang is often surrounded by some hooligans at the entrance of the two major stores of Shanghai Concession and Songjiang Mansion. The business is becoming more and more deserted. Local merchants and foreign banks in Shanghai also refuse to borrow from Qianzhuang.
The business of the public pawnshop is more deserted, and there are more trouble-making people.
Even Jiangnan Commercial Bank with an official stock background was not spared, as if countless hooligans poured out overnight.
But the more so, the more Hu Chuyuan can't leave. If he leaves so gray-faced, how can he go back to the beach to do business in the future?
Hu Chuyuan also has a hidden anger in his heart. He has a lot of big things to do in Shanghai, especially to set up education, but these people...
He has nothing to say.
To tell the truth, he really wants to withdraw from Shanghai and China overnight, and let these people disappear in the flames of war.
How long can Sheng Xuanhuai be happy? As soon as his legs are stretched out, tens of millions of property are occupied by the political axe of the Republic of China, and his children can only escape to sell Sheng's ramen.
Tang Yanshu was even more miserable. He joined hands with Xu Run to sell opium. Several of his sons were smokers. A few years after his death, his family property was blackmailed by officials, and his children's whereabouts were unknown.
......
Now that I think about it, Hu Chuyuan only thinks that these two people deserve it.
At this time, Zuo Zongtang sent Yang Changjun to send him a letter, saying that he was already in Suzhou and asked him to go to Suzhou to discuss the major events of the silk industry.
