In order to lead overseas Chinese out of the narrow world of catering business for decades and improve their political and economic status in the host country, Hu first took the lead in establishing Yuhu International Trade Import and Export Company, and then jointly established OO Dutch Chinese Investment Holding Co., Ltd., the first Chinese economic group in Dutch history, with Bi Chuanyou and more than a dozen Chinese businessmen. Through the development in import and export, real estate and other fields, this economic group has made a useful attempt to explore new ways of economic development in China. The establishment of the European Federation of Overseas Chinese Associations In order to unite all overseas Chinese associations in the Netherlands, 1988, Hu, who once again served as the seventh president of overseas Chinese associations in the Netherlands, initiated the establishment of the All-China Federation of Overseas Chinese Associations through continuous talks and consultations with the heads of other overseas Chinese organizations, and still serves as the honorary chairman of this Federation.
In order to unite overseas Chinese living in European countries and strive for their legitimate rights and interests in various countries, he initiated the establishment of the European Federation of Overseas Chinese Associations with overseas Chinese leaders. He persevered, and made contact and coordination among overseas Chinese delegations in various countries through international telephone calls dozens and hundreds of times. The birth of the European Federation of Overseas Chinese Associations devoted all his efforts.
As a patriotic overseas Chinese leader, Hu's heart is closely linked with the development of the motherland, and he has been making unremitting efforts to bridge the gap between China and the Netherlands in the fields of economy, science and technology, culture and so on. In order to introduce Dutch advanced agricultural technology and equipment into China, he cooperated with nine famous greenhouse manufacturing companies, greenhouse complete automation system company, vegetable seed company and bulb seed company in 1994, and established Dutch-Chinese Agricultural Equipment Technology Co., Ltd. (HCU) to promote Dutch advanced greenhouse technology to China. With its own strength and influence, Dutch-Chinese Agricultural Equipment Technology Co., Ltd., with him as its chairman, has made great contributions to Sino-Dutch agricultural technology exchange. China leaders, Li Ruihuan, Qian Qichen, Chen, and dozens of agricultural delegations from Shanghai, Zhejiang, Anhui, Beijing and Shandong have visited the Netherlands. With the increasing economic and trade exchanges between China and the Netherlands, entrepreneurs from both countries hope to have a special organization that can provide them with information, facilitate communication and help them analyze the market and find business opportunities. Seeing this situation, Hu sized up the situation and proposed to establish the Dutch-Chinese Chamber of Commerce. With the support of the Embassy of China in the Netherlands, The Hague Municipal Government, The Hague Chamber of Commerce and entrepreneurs from both countries, the Chamber of Commerce was announced in September 1999, with Hu personally as its president. The Dutch-Chinese Chamber of Commerce has established contacts with the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, the Council for the Promotion of International Trade, the Federation of Industry and Commerce and the Bureau of Township Enterprises in 24 provinces and cities in China, forming 23 friendly chambers of commerce, with 200 members and cooperative enterprises in the Netherlands and more than 50 in China.
Hu has been away from home for nearly 40 years, but he still holds the passport of China people. He kept the China complex in his heart calmly and proudly.
