On the second floor, into a very spacious office, Xia Yu and the others sat on the sofa at the coffee table for a week at Wu Hongyi’s greeting.

Soon, two young girls wearing cheongsam brought some pastries and peanut seeds to the crowd, and then the two began to make tea in a tacit understanding, very skillfully.

“Everyone have tea, you are welcome!”

After the tea moisture was good, Wu Hongyi picked up the tea cup and said with a smile.

“Yes, everyone is a compatriot. Just treat this as your own home. Feel free to do it!”

Uncle Chang, who was sitting aside, also agreed, with a very enthusiastic attitude.

The enthusiastic attitude of the two people made Xia Yu feel good. He nodded and said: “We will not be polite. Don’t be surprised when the time comes.”

“Haha, I will only be happy when I meet strangers!”

Wu Hongyi quickly responded with a smile.

“This dim sum tastes really good, melts in the mouth, come, let’s have a dim sum together.”

Xia Yu picked up a piece of mung bean cake and took a bite. The soft, soft, melts in the mouth made Xia Yu eyes shined, and his face was involuntarily showing enjoyment. After swallowing, he exclaimed.

Hearing Xia Yu’s admiration, Uncle Chang smiled wide and was very happy.

Li Qian also picked up a piece of mung bean cake, her pink lips opened slightly, her teeth lightly bite, vivid big eyes completed the crescent, and sweetly said: “It’s delicious.”

” Eat more and eat more.”

Looking at the beautiful Li Qian, Uncle Chang’s eyes were full of kindness, he said happily.

“Hmm!”

Li Qian smiled and lightly tapped his head, and said obediently, this made Xia Yu unable to bear smile, Li Qian was really likable.

While eating he he, Xia Yu and Wu Hongyi also talked.

“Hongyi, when did your home come to United Kingdom?”

Xia Yu leaned forward slightly and asked.

“Our family, it has been more than 100 years, and the forefather was in United Kingdom since 1828.”

Wu Hongyi thought for a while and said, his tone was very emotional.

It is 1978, exactly 1828 years from 150!

Calculating the result quickly in my mind, not only Xia Yu was surprised, even Li Qian and the others looked towards Wu Hongyi in surprise.

“It’s been so long! Your family came during the Qing Daoguang years!”

“Yes, it is recorded in the genealogy.”

Wu Hongyi said calmly, seemingly used to the surprise of others.

Suddenly, Xia Yu heart moved and thought of something.

Why did Wu Hongyi’s forefather come to United Kingdom from Qing Dynasty and have been settled until now?

It’s a skill to be able to exist in the United Kingdom for 160 years without disappearing, but considering that era, it’s not simple to go abroad to work hard!

Wu Family? Last name Wu?

Xia Yu’s mind turned frantically. Soon, he eyes shined, thinking of a possibility, and straightly looked towards Wu Hongyi, blurted out and asked: “Your Wu Family is the Wu Family of Thirteen Factories?”

Wu Hongyi looked at Xia Yu with an unexpected expression. He didn’t expect Xia Yu to have such a keen thinking that he could guess it so quickly.

But this is not a shameful matter. The entire United Kingdom and many Chinese know this matter. It can be said that it is a public matter. There is no need to hide it, and Xia Yu will know it in the future.

So he was nodded, including said with a smile: “Yes, that is the Wu Family, our this lineage, originated from the third child of Dun Yuan.”

Hearing Wu Hongyi’s admission, Xia Yu’s face was solemn, and Wu Hongyi cup one fist in the other hand solemnly said: “Disrespect and disrespect!”

Seeing Xia Yu being so solemn, Wu Hongyi shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: “That’s the glory of forefather, our children and grandchildren are incompetent, so that the family has fallen into this state.”

“No, being able to continue to inherit in United Kingdom is a manifestation of strength!”

Xia Yu shook her head immediately.

“Xia Yu, is Dun Yuan Gong very famous?”

Li Qian pulled at Xia Yu’s skirt and asked softly.

Xia Yu solemnly nodded and said: “Yes, Hongyi’s forefather was the richest man in the world at the time, and foreigners also recognized it!”

“Yeah! The richest man in the world? So amazing!”

Li Qian covered her mouth and cry out in surprise, and involuntarily looked towards Wu Hongyi shaking his head and smiling bitterly. Obviously Wu Hongyi also acquiesced.

“You should have heard of this name. It is Founder Wu Bingjian of Ewo Hong, one of the Canton Thirteen Factories, also known as Wu Dunyuan.”

Xia Yu explained.

The name of Canton Thirteen Factories, Li Qian, a highly educated person, naturally knows, and she is even more shocked because of knowing it.

Hong Kong and Guandong are separated by the sea. Many Hongkongers are from southern Fujian or Guandong. Therefore, the legend of Canton Thirteen Factories has been circulating. The saying “The foreign ships are the official merchants, and the cross gate opens to 2 oceans. 5 silk 8 silk. Guangdan is good, the money is piled up with Thirteen Factories,” the saying goes by word of mouth, and it has been passed down to this day.

She had learned it when she was studying history and learned that the tariffs that Canton Thirteen Factories paid to the Qing Government at that time accounted for 40% of the national tax.

According to records, in 1822, there was a big fire on Thirteen Factories Street. The fire was fierce and spread for several days. A large amount of property and 40 million taels of cash were destroyed. After the fire, a strange phenomenon appeared. In the street where Thirteen Factories are located, “foreign silver melts into the gutter and grows to one or two li.”

She also knows that the Thirteen Factories at that time was just a general term. It was not a thirteen, but it could reach dozens of companies at a time, and at a time there were only four. Among them, a group of giants emerged, such as Puankhequa, Pan Youdu, Lu Wenjin, and Wu Bingjian. , Ye Shanglin, etc.

What Li Qian didn’t know was that Wu Bingjian turned out to be the richest man in the world at the time.

In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that Wu Bingjian was the richest man in the world at the time. Xia Yu’s previous life had really known Wu Bingjian.

In 1834, Wu Family counted family property and it reached 26 million silver coins. At that time, the wealth of the richest man in United States was only 8 million silver coins, which was less than 1/3 of Wu Bingjian’s!

The commercial genius Wu Bingjian really created a major consortium.

At that time, Wu Bingjian was the “banker” and largest creditor of the British East India Company.

In terms of industrial operation, Wu Bingjian not only owns real estate, real estate, tea gardens, shops, etc. in China, but also boldly engages in railway investment, securities trading, and even insurance business in the United States across the ocean, making Ewo Hong a not just in name only, but also in reality a transnational consortium.

It is a pity that with the state of the time, it was destined that the businessman was the sheep, and the power was Supreme; instead of capital controlling the government as in foreign countries.

Therefore, Wu Family has suffered heavy losses under the repeated cuts of the Qing Government.

However, when Wu Bingjian realized that it was not good, to plan ahead, he put many of his children overseas early to take care of his own overseas business while also increasing his family’s ability to resist risks as much as possible.

a sly individual has more than one plan to fall back on, but it is!

This really got him right, otherwise the possibility of Wu Family being annihilated by the clan really exists!

It just made Xia Yu sigh that he just came to United Kingdom and the first person he met was Wu Family, and he knew for the first time that after 150 years of wind and rain, Wu Family was still in United Kingdom. Standing tall, as to how far Wu Family is now, he will have to learn more about it later before understood.

However, Xia Yu guessed that Wu Family should have fallen as Wu Hongyi said. Otherwise, although Hong Kong is far away from United Kingdom, he would not have never heard of Wu Family’s name.

Of course, there are other possibilities, such as Wu Family’s business in Hong Kong and Xia Yu do not overlap, or Wu Family simply has no business in Hong Kong.
