In British Columbia, Canada, not only has a large number of Chinatowns have formed, but the Chinese have already occupied a place in the local business community.

There is a Hakka from Xinning, named Li Huang, one of the first Chinese immigrants to Victoria, who came to pan for gold as a coolie at that time, but he was shrewd, he took advantage of the gold rush to establish a trading company in 1858, the Chinese name is Guangli Xing, which has the same name as Guangli Xing in the thirteen lines, I don't know if I have heard the name of Guangli Xing, and then used it fraudulently.

By 1862, Li Huang's company was already the second largest trading company after the local business magnate Hudson's Bay Company, importing and dealing in a variety of Chinese goods, rice, sugar, tea and foodstuffs. Since then, he has continued to expand, and seven gold-mining towns in British Columbia have branches of Guangli Hong.

After becoming super-wealthy, Li Huang also immigrated his family to Canada, and his wife was the first female immigrant in the history of Victorian Chinese immigrants.

Historically, Li Huang could not run smoothly forever because he was a Chinese. But he is now under the protection of the Ming government and consulates, and his business in Canada is still the second largest commercial company in the country, even if he doesn't like his white people, they have to admit his important status.

There are not many Chinese like Li Huang in the Americas, because almost all the Chinese who come to the Americas are poor, and they are poor people who can't even afford to read.

Especially in the United States, the Chinese exclusion is serious, and the employment field of the Chinese is narrowing step by step, and they can almost only rely on the laundry industry, the shoe industry, and agricultural workers to talk about a few ways to make a living, but even so, relying on small business, the Chinese have gradually mastered a certain amount of capital, but unfortunately they are all concentrated in the Chinese circle, and rarely can break into the white mainstream business, which is very similar to the Jewish ghetto in the Middle Ages, except for a very few Jews who can climb to the king and nobles, most Jews can only make a living in their own circles.

The Chinese in the United States faced a worse environment than the Jews, who were able to engage in high value-added industries such as the financial industry, but the Chinese were banned from engaging in various businesses in California, and even mining was banned in California a few years ago. However, this was tacitly approved by the labor company, and there was no diplomatic protest against it. Because the California capitalists of this era were not interested in improving mine safety, the casualty rate was too high, and the labor company did not intend to send the Chinese to death.

The reason why white Americans exclude the Chinese has nothing to do with the fact that the Chinese have robbed the bottom white people of half a dime, that is just a reason, the American elites who can really manipulate politics have no competitive relationship with the Chinese, they are simply discriminatory, and the job competition of the bottom white people is just being used.

Others said that it was because the Chinese did not plan to integrate into American society. Labor companies have done a lot of work in the past few years, such as the earliest Chinese immigrants, all encouraged them to become American citizens, thinking that they could influence American politics by relying on the advantage of voters, but in a selection, the politician supported by Chinese immigrants was vetoed, believing that his votes were invalid, on the grounds that Chinese bought and sold votes, and Chinese votes were not legal. As a result, the California legislature rejected the election, and soon abolished the Chinese suffrage.

Not only was it abolished in the United States, but historically, in 1872, the British Columbia Legislature passed a bill to deprive Chinese and Indians of the right to vote. Obviously, the whites did not intend to let the local large number of Chinese and Indians dictate the politics of the whites, and almost since the gold rush, the Chinese have been the largest ethnic group in California, and the Americans may give the Chinese the opportunity to decide their governors.

Labor companies have found that any effort they make to change and increase the influence of Chinese people in local politics will be counterproductive in the end, prompting local politicians to adopt policies that are even more unfavorable to the Chinese. Therefore, the labor company finally gave up its plan to promote the integration of the Chinese into the local society, and continued to protect them in the Chinese settlements themselves.

Zhu Jinglun's bottom line is that the Chinese Exclusion Act could not be passed, and California itself passed it once and was vetoed by the US federal court, so it was not until the federal government passed the Chinese Exclusion Act that the Chinese were really rejected from American society, not only those overseas Chinese who did not have American nationality, but even the Chinese Americans who had obtained citizenship were also affected by this bill, and many Chinese Americans could not re-enter the United States after going abroad to visit their relatives, even if they held American passports. This is tantamount to being deprived of one's nationality.

There is no need to say more about all the reasons, one reason, racial discrimination, in the words of the Chinese, so that the non-Chinese race will have different hearts, whether the Chinese are clean or not, whether they are of high quality, it does not matter, they will still discriminate against you. Later generations never mentioned the Floor Washing Party, and the Japanese were later excluded. If the quality of the Chinese in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China was low, after the Chinese Exclusion Act, the quality of a large number of Japanese who entered the United States was not low, and the success of the Meiji Restoration made almost everyone know how to read and write, and when the United States set off an anti-Japanese craze, it was already the time when the Japanese won the Russo-Japanese War and became a world power.

At that time, the quality of Japanese immigrants was certainly higher than that of Russians, whose literacy rate was just over 20%, but the United States never rejected Russians, because Russians were Caucasians!

Therefore, the labor service company and the Daming Consulate can only take a passive approach and do their best to protect the local Chinese. Later, they did not even push the Chinese to become American citizens, because once the Chinese became American citizens, their jurisdiction would be in the hands of the US government, and it would be difficult for the consulate to directly protect them. Some capitalists have killed many Chinese by encouraging them to do dangerous but high-paying jobs. And the consulate can't intervene. In addition, it also involves other Chinese who went to the United States, such as the Chinese laborers in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, many of whom were recruited by American capitalists, who had neither American nationality nor Ming nationality, which was equivalent to being doubly unprotected, and the result could only be manipulated by those capitalists.

In this unfavorable situation, Daming still insisted on immigrating to California, because the geography here is too important.

The Pan family's Tongwen Bank has established a branch in San Francisco to operate shipping business in the Americas, and has opened flights to Canada in the north and Bolivia in the south, connecting Chinese communities along the coast of the Americas.

After the formation of such a chain, the local Chinese were not limited to one place, but began to be active on the American coastline, and they exchanged South American sugar and North American industrial products through this route, and began to obtain huge profits.

San Francisco is a natural transit station, rich in materials on the west coast of the Americas, coastal into San Francisco, in the east by train to enter the American market, and through the sea, across the Pacific Ocean can enter the Asian market, mainly the Ming market. At the same time, Daming's various industrial products and handicrafts also entered the entire American market through this trade route.

This is the meaning of the Ming immigrants in the Americas, the formation of Chinese communities is only the first step, and the second step is to rely on these Chinese communities to form a Chinese business network. This commercial network is so important that, once it is formed, it is tantamount to turning the entire west coast of the Americas into a raw material source and industrial market for the Chinese.

Only a solid Chinese community can support these business strongholds, because in the context of Chinese exclusion, it is impossible for Chinese people to accept and integrate into white people's business networks and share their business interests.

That's why Zhu Jinglun attaches so much importance to immigrants in the Americas, as for his ambition for the land of the Americas, it's just ambition, just think about it, it's too unrealistic to really turn it into the land of the Ming Dynasty.

A few years ago, Daming paid a high cost of capital and sent millions of people to the Americas, but it saved a lot of time and costs, because a Chinese business network was formed at the fastest speed. With the formation of this business network, the accumulation of Chinese capital in the Americas has been greatly promoted, and the case of Li Huang in Canada is an exception, but in South America, the small business groups formed by the Chinese have long been upgraded and gradually began to develop from small commodities in the local area to transnational trade.

The cross-border trade of the Chinese also supported Tongwenxing's shipping, and three years after the end of the disaster, Tongwenxing's shipping industry became profitable.

Zhu Jinglun was very pleased to see this situation, he has always felt that the Chinese and the Jews have some characteristics that are very similar to the two ancient peoples, such as both attach importance to education, can maintain their own culture under the watchful eye of different races, and the more pressure is stronger, only for a long time, can always stand in a higher position, the per capita income of the Chinese in California in later generations has been higher than the level of the white is an example.

In addition to the business knowledge and culture accumulated over thousands of years, one of the biggest reasons why Jews are so good at doing business is that Jews can use and use the local Jewish network wherever they go, because Jews are a world people and can do business in the world.

If Zhu Jinglun wants the Chinese to do business in the world and become a world businessman, then he must first make the Chinese a world nation, and it is very difficult to expand to Europe, but in the Americas, which is vast and sparsely populated and has a huge living space, it is relatively easy even for a country with a strong anti-Chinese force like the United States.

Although the Chinese have not yet become a world nation, they have at least become a cross-regional nation in the Pacific Rim region, and the next step is to support the Chinese in this business circle, gradually go up, and become a business gang that stands in the Pacific Rim interest circle, stands at the top of the industrial chain, and licks the cream at the top of the commercial cake.

To this end, Zhu Jinglun decided to take three major measures.

First, support Tongwen Bank to establish a business name on the west coast of the Americas from Alaska to Bolivia, Tongwen Bank as a large trans-Pacific trading house, local Chinese businessmen as secondary agents, and local people can get the role of regional distributors.

Second, banks will be established along the ports of the Pacific Rim for the purpose of supporting Chinese business, providing support for local Chinese business, and shortening the cycle of their capital accumulation as much as possible.

Third, encourage the commercial forces of the Ming Dynasty to go out and grab profits in the vast Pacific market!

Zhu Jinglun plans to thoroughly promote the maturity of the Pacific Rim interest chain within ten years, so that this interest chain will become the most important engine in the process of Daming's industrialization, and promote the sustainable development of Daming's industry.

San Francisco will be the fulcrum of this chain of interests on the other side of the Pacific, and there must be no failure here, but it will be very difficult, because the Chinese Exclusion Act in the United States is gradually approaching its realization.
