In 1882, there were more than 20,000 newly registered companies in the whole country, of which 31.2% were college students or high school entrepreneurs, and their rise directly led to the rapid development of venture capital and venture capital. The empire's stock market is doing well, even if the empire doesn't have many shareholders making money in the stock market at the moment.
Of course, in 1882, the situation in China was relatively good, and the common people had solved the problem of food and clothing and were on the way to a well-off life, but it was different abroad.

In 1882, an uprising against foreign colonialism broke out again in Egypt. Historically, this was a spontaneous civil uprising against British colonization, which was similar to the Sanyuanli resistance against the British in the Chinese Opium War, because the British occupied Egypt in that year.
But this time, the target of this uprising is not only Britain but also China and France is a spontaneous struggle against imperialism, Egypt and France half a century ago very close, because of Napoleon's relationship, Egypt is actually regarded as France's sphere of influence, of course, this division is actually not internationally recognized, but with the strong entry of China and Britain, the three countries finally established the ruling power of the three countries over Egypt and the suzerainty that the Ottoman Empire still retains, and actually confirmed that Egypt became a colony of China, Britain and France.

Since it is a colony, then it is necessary to rule these already divided lands well, so Britain and France, including China, not only prepare for the establishment of a government within the divided scope of Egypt, it is not a big deal, as long as the people at the bottom are fed and can live, they will not rebel, after all, the Egyptian people are not open.
But in fact, a large part of the reason for this uprising of the Egyptian people was that the British lifted a stone and smashed three people in the foot. As mentioned above, the export of goods from the Chinese Empire was hitting the traditional markets of the British, and Egypt was officially one of them.
The Textile Association of the British in Egypt was the ignition of the uprising, not that the textile association was the leader of the uprising, but that the textile association did something that led to the uprising.
Egyptian long-staple cotton has always been under the sole control of the British, and this cotton, which originated in the Indian peninsula, was indeed an important raw material for the British textile industry. But as Chinese-bred Xinjiang cotton (which can be understood as the current No. 137 cotton) began to be produced on a large scale, long-staple cotton is losing its advantage.

These British businessmen just want to make some trouble for the Chinese in private,
As a result, the actions of the Textile Association turned into an anti-colonial uprising of the Egyptian people, who could be said to have suffered all kinds of hardships over the years, and such an ancient civilization with a long culture once again broke out its last strength.
The uprising, which came to be known as the beginning of Egypt's national democracy, began in Cairo with textile workers and citizens taking to the streets to denounce the darkness of imperialism. In fact, this uprising is a powerful manifestation of the spread of ** throughout the world. More than 20 years ago, when Engels passed through Egypt, he prophesied that ** might blossom all over Egypt.
His prediction came true, from 1878 to the beginning of 1882, Egypt because of its good geographical location, the world's capital led by capitalists from China, Britain and France invested in Egypt to build more than 3,000 factories, and the number of Egyptian workers had reached more than 200,000 before the outbreak of the Egyptian uprising in 82, which laid the foundation for the labor movement.
The most important thing is that unlike the factories of other capitalist countries, the factory system of the imperial factories is relatively perfect, and there are trade unions and arbitration organizations, which are the bonds of compromise between the capitalists and the working class. The Empire's factories in Egypt had a ten-hour workday, two hours longer than at home, but it was absolutely merciful compared to the 12 or even 14 hours in the factories of European countries
