Wu Bingjian is the son of Wu Guoying, and Wu Guoying is a partner of the Pan family. When he was a teenager, he studied in the Nanhai School Palace in Guangzhou for a year, but soon got tired of it, and dropped out of the Nanhai School Palace despite the opposition of his family, and went to work as a buddy in Pan Zhencheng's bulk stall. Later, when Pan Zhencheng joined Shi Chen Han, he also brought Wu Guoying into the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and later transferred to the Banking Regulatory Commission.

Wu Bingjian's path has also embarked on another path.

In the original time and space, he was the richest man in the world in the first half of the 19th century. The assets were about 28 million taels of silver, and the richest people in the United States at that time were only 7 million taels. In 2001, the Wall Street Journal counted the 50 richest people in the world in the past 1,000 years, and six Chinese were selected, and Wu Bingjian was one of them. He boldly ventured across the ocean in the United States in the fields of railroad investment, securities trading, and insurance, and was also the largest creditor of the British East India Company, which sometimes had poor cash flow and often borrowed from the Wu family.

Wu Bingjian didn't know his glory in the original time and space, and even if he knew his glory in the original history, he would definitely not have any hatred for Chen Hansheng.

Although the current Wu family is not as rich as in the original time and space, the Wu family has become more prominent in the whole society, his father was already a member of the Sanpin when he was a master, and he now not only inherits many industries of the Wu family, but also holds the dry shares of Hainan Sugar Group, and his worth is also a multimillionaire.

And the Wu family in the original time and space, Wu Bingjian died a few years after a crow, and the Wu family soon declined. Because of the five-port trade, the Guangzhou Thirteen Banks is a privileged business group, and the five-port trade is to destroy their privileges, and without the privileges, the unique and irreplaceable status of the Thirteen Banks in the past will no longer exist. What's more, when the two crows were in place, the thirteen elements also ignited that monstrous fire......

Even if Wu Bingjian knew his own glory in the original time and space, he would never shout good for the Manchu Dynasty, he was very satisfied with the current living environment and social status. Don't look at him as he is not in politics, but he is the vice chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Consultative Bureau, and as the president of Hainan Sugar Group, Wu Bingjian's influence in Lingnan is very great. When the political and senators of eastern Guangdong saw him, they should also be called 'Mr. Wu', and he was also a guest in front of the governor. So what is he not satisfied with?

Wu Bingjian's contact with the Zhu family is a kind of secret contact on the eve of the big alliance, Zhu Ping'an still has a lot of say in the sugar industry enterprises in the north, purely from the perspective of the output of sucrose, the Zhu family is also one of the few companies in the sugar industry in the north.

Moreover, in addition to the sugar factory, food processing is another arm of the Zhu family, which can provide him with sufficient funds for Zhu Ping'an to purchase farms and continue to expand the sugar beet planting industry. In the first two years, Zhu Ping'an's sugar factory produced a large part of the annual sucrose directly digested by his food processing factory.

However, with the continuous increase in the production of cane sugar, Zhu Ping'an thoroughly combined the sugar factory with his food processing factory, relying on the brand effect made by his food processing factory over the years, and soon became famous, first in the Northeast to become bigger and stronger, and then south to North China to conquer the city.

However, after several years of rapid development, Zhu Ping'an's Dalian Sugar Company also encountered the problems encountered by the Hainan Sugar Group, and its development reached a bottleneck, and with the strength of Zhu Ping'an and Ge Er, there was really no way to promote the Dalian Sugar Company from the first class in the country to the top level.

And because the volume of the sugar industry in the north is smaller than the overall volume of the sugar industry in the south, and relative to the entire local market, Zhu Ping'an's Dalian Sugar Company is smaller than Li's Hainan Sugar Group, which can occupy one-tenth of the country's total, then Dalian will be 1/12 and 1/15 the degree.

Although compared with the overall comprehensive strength, the Northern Sugar Group is a rising star, whether it is its own size or the backers behind them, it is much inferior to its southern counterparts, but this kind of thing is not negotiable, no one can 'force' anyone. Because the cost of colluding with Chen Cong's branch is too low, not to mention selling the company to Chen Jiqing and Chen Jigong, as long as a joint company is formed, or even as long as they are handed over to a sales network, then everything will be OK.

The island of Cuba and the island of Spain, renamed Haiti, are both very suitable for the growth of sugar cane, and the land there is nutritious and fertile, and it does not need to be cared for and fertilized every year, as is the land on Chen Han's side. The production cost is much lower than that of Chen Han, and the quality of the sugarcane there is very good, which also greatly reduces the cost of sucrose to a certain extent. Therefore, the long sea route is not a daunting journey, and even with enough transportation costs, at the price of cane sugar, cane sugar from Song and Peng can violently hit the sugar market in the mainland......

Brother is outside the wall to resist his insults.

The reason why the Zhu family was able to start was that Zhu Ping'an's brother-in-law Ge Er played a very important role in the middle, and as an old minister who was fiercely loyal to the Chen family's dynasty, Ge Er was worried about the continuous expansion of the power of the Americas many years ago.

The Caribbean Sea also belongs to the Americas.

As for the local sugar company to 'resist' the 'attack' of American sugar, Ge Er chose to agree with it without much thought. Then Zhu Ping'an, who attached great importance to his brother-in-law's words, also chose to agree, and even took the initiative to contact many friends.

It can be said that Ge Er played a great role in promoting the conference alliance of the North and South Sugar Company Enterprises.

When Chen Ming heard the news, he couldn't help but laugh. That's where it is. Even if the future Cuba is the world's honeypot, the current Cuba is only the first step in the long march.

Cuba's sugar production in later generations can reach 7 to 8 million tons, and exports can reach more than 6 million tons per year. That's much higher than the world's sugar production today.

And how many now?

In the sixties of the 19th century, Cuba's sugar production was increased to 550,000 tons, and it took 70 years for them to develop the sugar industry after the outbreak of war in Haiti.

Now, the island of Cuba has become the Song Kingdom, Chen Ming believes that when Cuba's sugar production reaches 550,000 tons, it will definitely be much earlier than the original time and space, but it must be a degree earlier, manpower is very strong, but manpower is sometimes exhausted, and the development of machinery is the key to Cuba's sugar industry.

In the original time and space, when Cuba was in Spanish hands, sugar production here never exceeded 1 million tons. However, after the end of the Spanish-American War in 1898, the Americans invested a large amount of money in Cuba to buy all the plantations that could be purchased, and gradually formed a modern sugarcane plantation characterized by large-scale production, and caused the small farmers who planted sugarcane sporadically to go bankrupt one after another, and the land became more and more concentrated, and the scope of sugarcane cultivation gradually expanded from the western provinces along the laterite plain to a broader area in the east.

The United States has built a number of irrigation facilities, so that sugarcane is widely cultivated in lowlands less than 100 meters above sea level, and sugarcane fields account for more than 60 percent of the country's arable land. So the American sugar company turned into a terrible monster. They owned large sugar mills, owned large sugar fields, and processed sugar cane from homesteaders and tenant farmers for profit. In order to quickly transport sugar cane to sugar mills, a number of special railway lines were also built. By 1958, a total of 9,500 kilometers of narrow-gauge railways had been laid, accounting for two-thirds of the country's railway lines, and Cuba had become one of the countries with the densest railway network in Latin America.

It is these modern scientific methods that have pushed Cuba's sugar production to a frightening peak. A small country of such a size can produce nearly 10 million tons of cane sugar.

It is just over a decade after the 21st century that Cuba's population has reached just over 10 million.

……

Chen Ming asked the intelligence department to continue to stare at this North-South Sugar Conference, and his main energy was still to watch the choice of the Marathas in India and the development of the war situation in the Great Northwest, and then some news came one after another.

For example, the Zhu family bowed their heads to Wu Bingjian, which is normal. Wu Bingjian relied on the Li family behind him, and the Li family was Chen Ding's uncle, even if they became a 'traitor' in the 'Hundred Mu Farm Plan', which caused a lot of resentment from the vassal states and vassal countries that had not yet settled the domain, the Li family's development speed was still very fast. There are so many people in China, and many of them are willing to hold their feet.

The reason why Ge Er sent Zhu Cheng to come to Shanghai quietly to meet Wu Bingjian was completely to find out the 'mouth' from Wu Bingjian, so that he could have a bottom in his heart when he participated in the alliance.

Although the terms of the two sides were handed to each other two months ago, neither of them wanted to get more benefits?

Ge Er said in the letter that he had heard a certain news that the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce might lend large sums of money to the sugar industry in Cuba and Haiti, but Wu Bingjian scoffed at this.

He knew very well that Ge Er must have gotten the news from a certain 'big man', and it was even possible that the news was said by the 'big man' himself. But in Wu Bingjian's point of view, this is impossible.

Chen Jiqing and Chen Jigong's relationship with the royal family is very close, but no matter how close they are, they can't get closer to the children, the Gao family, the Huang family, and the emperor's relationship is also close.

Do not suffer from few, but suffer from unevenness. The Kyushu Chamber of Commerce lent money to the Chen brothers, so should it also lend money to other countries?

And although the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce is super rich, at the national level, how many people can it 'lend' money?

The Kyushu Chamber of Commerce is not a national bank.

Although from a certain point of view, the loan to Song Guo and Peng Guo is really a very high-quality property.

Why is Chen Ming not interested in domestic affairs anymore? That's a big reason for that. The domestic struggle, the fight is all his own people, and it is all within the scope of his regulations, which is too boring.

Chen Ming is the master of domestic affairs, so he is like a super GM in a big game, no matter how big the game is, no matter how many NPCs, he can have a bird attraction.

"Your Majesty, the Northwest Urgent ......" The nervous voice of the attendant came from outside the palace.
