Looking at the current world situation, all the economically and militarily powerful countries in Europe and the West have developed capital, military, and technology. Their governments have brought relative prosperity, equality, and democracy to ordinary people.
However, what the Qing Dynasty brought to the working people was naked exploitation. The descendants of our Chinese nation lived in dire straits. With your wisdom, how long can the Qing Dynasty last?
The corners of Hu Xueyan's mouth turned downward, Mr. Zhou could not help but be alarmist! Our Qing Dynasty has millions of soldiers, a large number of people with lofty ideals, and cannons and ships, which can keep the enemy away from the country. Why worry!
Zhou Yu refuted Hu Xueyan with a sarcastic expression. Looking at the Opium War from a distance and the Taiwan War from a close distance, although there were soldiers fighting for their lives, what was the result?
The countries in Europe and the West built their countries on commerce and seized China's resources, money, and labor. The railroads built by the United States were built with the bones of our Chinese people in mind, and Hawaii also had our Chinese indentured workers, piglets.
Japan in the East and Tsarist Russia in Europe have been peeping at our treasured island of Taiwan, the Northeastern provinces, and Korea for a long time. Changes are bound to happen within 15 years.
France is peeking at our Fujian, Guangzhou, and Taiwan. There will be a war within four years. The imperial court can check it!
Hong Kong, Macau, Vladivostok, Eastern Siberia, the Ryukyu Islands, and other lands have not yet been returned. How can the imperial court be different!
The local power is powerful, and the hegemonic side does not want to serve the country, and keeps 8/10 of the tax money for itself. Is there any difference in the imperial court?
The empress dowagers of the two palaces are carrying out large-scale construction projects and enjoying themselves with the limited money in the treasury. How happy!
With Mr. Hu’s ambition, how can Mr. Hu not be worried or alarmed?
As he spoke, Zhou Yu walked to the window and pointed at the sky angrily. My picturesque country has been shattered. When will the Chinese people wake up? Don't you feel that our ancestors are crying?
When will the Chinese dragon take off? Do you still want to be foolish and loyal? Are you still not awakening?
People of China, all stand up!! All people of China, wake up!!! Zhou Yu shouted loudly.
Zhou Yu, who had lost his nerve, stood quietly and alone by the window, but his spine stood straight.
A drop of crystal tears hit the carpet, and it shattered. The sound of the shattering made Hu Xueyan feel the loudest noise he had ever heard. The sunlight enveloped Zhou Yu's back, making him look more and more lonely and tall, as if to show his master's presence.
Unwilling and unyielding.
Hu Xueyan recalled that at that time, I had a kind of transparency that filled my chest with thunder and fire, and quietly a seed of firm belief began to take root and sprout, and it grew into a towering tree in an instant.
I am convinced that the stalwart young man in front of me is the towering tree that grew from that seed. He will definitely bring spring and hope to this troubled Chinese nation. What am I waiting for?
In the end, Zhou Yu, with the secret help of Hu Xueyan, discovered a large number of outstanding talents. They include:
Wei Han was born in 1850, named Zhifu, courtesy name Ji Qian, from Houxian County, Fujian Province, and an expert in warship manufacturing.
Wei Han behaved differently when he was very young.
When he was 5 years old, his father, Tang Yizhong, played with him about the Tang Dynasty and the superiority of the Wei clan. Han said: "Wei Zu Biwan came from Gonggao, Wen Zhizhaoye; Tang Shuyu was the younger brother of King Wu, and Wuzhi Muye."
Yizhong also said: "My ancestor was Tang Yao." Han said: "Wenzu Houji was the concubine of Emperor Ku Yuan; Yao's mother Qingdu was also the second concubine of Ku. Isn't it appropriate to say that Wei preceded Tang?" Yes, there is
Prodigy name.
He graduated first among the first batch of students from the Fujian Shipbuilding Academy and stayed in Fuzhou Shipbuilding to work as a technician. Later, he became one of the first batch of Chinese naval officers to go overseas for inspection and study.
While studying in France, while learning shipbuilding skills, he also studied law. He once worked as an assistant at the French Royal Bar Association, and "from the day he became famous, he obtained a doctorate in law." He also became the first Chinese to receive a doctorate in law from a foreign country.
.
After Wei Han returned to China, he served as the "General Manufacturing Division" of Fuzhou Shipping Administration, that is, the chief engineer. He organized the development of China's first cruiser "Kaiji". This ship was called "the giant ship that has never been seen in China". During this period
, Fuzhou Shipyard, under the auspices of Wei Han and others, also built three clippers.
Lu Han was born in 1852, courtesy name Gentang, from Heshan, Guangdong. He was the captain of the Weiyuan ship and a trainee instructor.
Ye Fu was born in 1848, his original name was Guifu, and his courtesy name was Mengmei.
Zheng Qinglian was born in 1852, named Jingxi, from Min County (Fuzhou City), Fujian Province. He was the deputy general of the Fujian Shipping Association.
Chen Zhaoao was born in 1854 with the courtesy name Heting. He was a native of Luozhou, Min County (now Fuzhou City). He served as the Chief Engineer and Dusi of the Shipbuilding Engineering Department...
Zeng Hongji was born in 1860, courtesy name Chikan, from Leizhou, Guangdong. He was a machinist at Mawei Shipyard. He was a machinist and specialized in machinery.
These unsuccessful talents were squeezed out and framed. In this officialdom where corruption was rampant, they paid a heavy price for their integrity and non-conformity, and they also took advantage of Zhou Yu.
In order to wait for these talents and their families, Zhou Yu stayed in Shanghai for a long time and talked a lot with Hu Xueyan. Hu Xueyan was surprised by Zhou Yu's wisdom and erudition.
Finally, on October 12th, Zhou Yu, who had been in this world for more than seven months, embarked on his European and American trip with 1.2 million pounds sponsored by Hu Xueyan. Accompanying him were: Wei Han, Lu Han, Ye Fu
, Zheng Qinglian, Chen Zhaoao, Zeng Hongji and their families. Tian Ergou and a group of guards were driven to the old street by him for training.
Chen Fang, a member of the Chinese Privy Council of Hawaii, a wealthy businessman, and an aristocrat, had just been recommended by Rong Hong, the Qing Dynasty's minister to the United States, to become the Chinese consul in Hawaii. She was sitting in the study room of her Honolulu villa early in the morning, looking at the business reports of the sugar factory. The old housekeeper hurried in.
The study came to him and said: Master, there is a very special Chinese Mr. Zhou who wants to see you.
It's very special. Did he say anything?
He said he was introduced by Hu Xueyan from Shanghai, but did not elaborate.
Oh! Then go and invite him in, and then take him to the living room. Chen Fang raised his eyebrows.
Yes, sir. The old housekeeper turned around and went out.
A few minutes later, Chen Fang walked into the living room with square steps, and saw the old housekeeper standing next to a dark, medium-length Chinese, about 20 years old, wearing a black suit.
He found that this young man was very arrogant and had the domineering aura of a superior person (how could he not be domineering, Zhou Yu, the super awesome pig-footed guy).
His skin is white and rosy, as transparent as crystal, his facial features are sharp and full of three-dimensionality, and his black and white eyes are full of wisdom and profundity. People can’t fathom his heart. (Looking like this is not harmful to us women.
Compatriots?)
When Chen Fang was observing him, our pig trotter Zhou Yu was also observing Chen Fang. He saw that Chen Fang was in his 50s and was of medium build. He was wearing a dark uniform and had long, thick black eyebrows mixed with a few white spots.
A slender ponytail, mustache, and high cheekbones with Guangdong and Guangxi characteristics.
Chen Fang clasped her fists on her chest and saluted loudly. Mr. Zhou has been looking up to me for a long time. I wonder what Mr. Zhou has to do with me.
Zhou Yu also clasped his fists in return. I disturbed Director Chen early in the morning and asked Haihan. However, I do have something important to discuss with Director Chen. Is it convenient for you? After speaking, he looked around.
Chen Fang agreed, Mr. Zhou and we went to the study room to talk. Zhou Yu followed Chen Fang into the study room and closed the door.
Mr. Zhou, do you have any advice for visiting me? How is Mr. Hu Xueyan from Shanghai?
Zhou Yu took the lead, Chen Fang, named Guofen, was born in Meixi, Zhuhai in 1925. He received a good education when he was young... (10,000 words are omitted here)
In 1879, you became the first Chinese member of the Privy Council among the nobility of the Kingdom of Hawaii. You are still fighting for the unfair treatment of Chinese workers. Am I right?
Chen Fang was very surprised, how could this person know his privacy so well? How could he know so well some things that he had even forgotten? The muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched.
Mr. Chen, you don’t have to be surprised. Like Mr. Hu Xueyan, we will be friends instead of enemies. Here I will tell you openly and honestly! I want to ask Mr. Chen to help me. I want to change the status of Chinese people all over the world.
Let the Chinese become the pride of the world and let the Chinese nation stand in the forest of the world instead of being a so-called inferior race.
I want every Chinese descendant to achieve equality for all, I want the Chinese world to be unified, and the world to be one for the common good.
It is a good saying that everyone is equal and the world is for the common good. It is a good idea to stand tall in the forest of the world. I would like to ask Mr. Qin what you use to realize what you describe? And what ability do I have to help you in Honolulu?
Isn't this exactly what I have been looking forward to! Although Chen Fang was moved by Qin Han's words, she was still unwilling to ask Zhou Yu.
I don’t want you to rebel, Mr. Chen, nor do I want your sponsorship, Mr. Chen. I just hope to use your connections in Hawaii, Europe and the United States to help me recruit talents from various countries at high salaries.
I will also recruit the suffering Chinese people from all over the world to Hawaii for my use. I will set up a large number of enterprises in Hawaii in order to expand the talents of my Chinese industry.
I also want to do a big business with my husband, and these are the documents. Zhou Yu said and handed Chen Fang a dozen documents...
What Zhou Yu gave Chen Fang was the formula of cloth and seven-color chemical dyes such as red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, indigo, and purple, as well as weaving machinery information, as well as the special technology of later sucrose processing, such as brown sugar, granulated sugar, and saccharin.
, as well as packaged toffee, etc.
Chen Fang's eyes lit up. He knew that these would be a huge gold mine that would never stop being used. According to his existing resources, he could double his industry several times within a year without investing much more.
Chen Fang asked in surprise: Mr. Zhou, what kind of cooperation method are you going to use with me?
Zhou Yu said solemnly: I hold 51% of the shares, with technical investment, and you hold 49% of the shares. You are responsible for investment and management, which also includes your current sugar factory and sugar cane garden. I know that Mr. Chen has eaten a little for the time being.
It's a loss, but its prospects are very promising. I believe you will make a very wise choice, sir.
There are also all the technologies related to cane sugar processing, which are unique to the world. The formulas for cloth and color dyes have already been cooperated with domestic manufacturers.
I don't want to consider looking for cooperative manufacturers in Europe and the United States. This way there will be fewer competitors, and the corresponding profit margin will be much larger.
Thank you Mr. Zhou for your candid confession. After careful calculation, I decided to cooperate with Mr. Zhou.
Now that the business deal is over, I have one more thing to ask of you. I wonder if Mr. Chen will agree to it.
The Spanish shipyard is located on the island of Oahu. Sir, can you help me talk to the owner of the shipyard? I want to buy it secretly, including all the skilled workers, as well as the 70 acres of land there, and Oahu.
A small open-hearth steel mill with workers on the island.
Chen Fang immediately agreed and said that she could give it a try.
After the two people signed the contract, they separated and prepared to go.
Zhou Yu first went to the Hawaii Telegraph Office and sent a telegram to Liu Yongfu, asking him to send 500 technicians and apprentices named Zhang Long and people from the navy camp to Hawaii, and to buy more materials such as iron and copper.
, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, phosphorus, nitrate and other ore raw materials are sent to Hawaii.
After that, he returned to the hotel and started writing a book. During this period, China still used traditional Chinese characters. This gave Zhou Yu a headache. If it weren't for the endless knowledge in his head, he would really not be able to write it with the knowledge of later generations.
Therefore, Zhou Yu decided to spare time to write books on Chinese culture.
