Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Story of the Chaebol

Mr. Jiang did not stay at Sun Tong's place for too long. After all, his identity was different now, and there were many people in the Magic City who wanted to see him, so he just had lunch at Sun Mansion and then said goodbye and left.

"Boss, Hu Cheng is here!"

"Bring the people here when you come."

"Yes!"

After getting Sun Tong's approval, Qu Hongxi immediately brought Hu Cheng, who was waiting outside, to the room where Sun Tong was.

"You two take a seat first, I'll be done here soon."

Sun Tong doesn't stay at home doing nothing. In addition to handling official business, he also does some design from time to time.

After coming to the Republic of China, without the temptation of electronic products, Sun Tong could spend more time on studying.

With the help of the books in his personal space and his aesthetic taste as a person from later generations, the products he designed can be called works of art in this era. This is why Sun Tong's design ability is unknown to the outside world, otherwise it would not be an exaggeration to call him a god in the design world.

Among the many companies under Sun Tong’s control, there is no company whose products have not passed through his hands.

Take the weapons produced by Huayou Company for example. In terms of performance, Huayou Company's products are indeed very advanced, but whether firearms are advanced or not is a very subjective thing. On the contrary, the weapons produced by Huayou Company are very beautiful in appearance, so there are many people who call Huayou Military Industrial Company a "cruel artist."

Ever since Huayou Company's earliest sun-16 semi-automatic pistol (the prototype is FNP40) appeared on the market, this gun has been recognized by the public.

However, due to material limitations and the fact that the gun's range cannot meet some usage scenarios, Sun Tongyou took out the design drawings of FNP45. Now this gun has been transformed into Huayou Company's SUN-18 semi-automatic pistol.

This gun is an enlarged version of the previous generation product. With the hot sales of Type 16, Type 18 will naturally have no problems with sales.

Not to mention that Huayou Company later came up with the SUN-19 submachine gun (P90), a gun with an extremely exaggerated appearance.

Relying on a number of excellent products, many of the weapons launched by Huayou Company are still in the research and development stage, and various countries will still send people to keep an eye on the situation at Huayou Company.

But how could these countries know that Huayou Company’s core laboratory for weapons research and development was moved to Longhua Territory three years ago, and even the weapons and equipment currently used by the troops stationed in Longhua Territory are directly ahead of other countries by an era.

Let alone anything else, just say that at this moment, the Longhua Army is already using large-caliber anti-material sniper rifles copied from the Barrett M82A1. Can you believe this?

至于火炮方面，如今华友公司已经开发出了105毫米、122毫米、152毫米、155毫米、280毫米和205毫米等一系列口径的火炮家族。

In the absence of shortage of technology, resources and funds, it is the population and number of talents that restrict the development of Longhua Territory. Otherwise, why would Sun Tong need to stay in Longguo all the time? He would have gone to Longhua Territory to be his own emperor long ago.

However, although he did not go there, the work of transporting resources to the Longhua territory has never stopped.

World War II will begin in a dozen years, and by then Longhua Territory will become Sun Tong's rear base, so the development there must be guaranteed.

"Boss, why did you ask me to come here today?"

Hu Cheng didn't know why Sun Tong suddenly called him over, but he had worked under Sun Tong for many years. He knew that his boss was the kind of person who would plan before taking action, and this time he must have called him over to give him an important task.

"Now Xinghai Company has entered a bottleneck period, so I plan to arrange for you to go to Chou Country. Right now, my media company there has just started, and I need a stabilizer to sit there. After thinking about it, I think I can only feel at ease if I send you there. I wonder what you think?"

If Sun Tong wants to develop Xinghai Company into a big star media group with a certain influence worldwide, he cannot leave most of the company's resources in Longguo.

Compared with Long Country, Chou Country is the focus of the company's future development.

"So sudden?"

"It is indeed a bit sudden, but you know the situation in China. Our Xinghai Company has reached its limit. You also know what I am thinking. I have always hoped to develop Hon Hai into a global company. Given the situation in Longguo, do you think that if the company's main business is always limited to China, can I achieve this goal?"

"cannot!"

Hu Cheng only needed to think briefly about Sun Tong's question to figure out the answer.

The business of Xinghai Company seems to have been increasing in recent years, involving more and more industries.

However, Xinghai’s business is somewhat special, and its domestic development ceiling is relatively obvious.

Therefore, Hu Cheng himself also discovered that it was difficult for Xinghai Company to go any further after its current development.

"That's it. You need to think about this carefully. I'll give you a week. I want to hear your answer after a week."

"No need, boss. I'll go!"

Sun Tong is ambitious, and so is Hu Cheng.

Previously, Sun Tong described to him what a large entertainment group looked like. Hu Cheng was very much looking forward to those scenes described by Sun Tong. If he could realize those things that Sun Tong described with his own hands, Hu Cheng didn't even dare to think about the sense of accomplishment.

"Don't think about it anymore?"

"No need. Even if you don't look for me this time, I will probably come to you on my own initiative soon. I will have to leave sooner or later anyway, so it's better to leave sooner rather than later."

"Okay, I was right about you. You don't need to worry about the things in Ugly Country. I will prepare everything for you. But when you arrive in Ugly Country, you will need to register a new company, and Xinghai Company will be directly merged into that company."

"I understand!"

"I understand. I won't keep you any longer. Go back and make preparations. I'll only give you one month. After the domestic affairs are handed over, I'll arrange for someone to send you to the Ugly Country!"

It is indeed not easy for Xinghai Company to develop to this point in China, but Sun Tong is also very clear that in the future, Xinghai Company's business in China will definitely continue to decline. Even when the war comes in the future, it will be difficult for such a conspicuous existence as Xinghai to maintain.

Since the outcome is already known, it is better to make plans early. Sun Tong has diversified his investments this time.

Next, after Hu Cheng leaves, Sun Tong also plans to split up several newspapers and magazines under the Xinghai Group. The headquarters of each newspaper will be moved to various parts of the country. As for how they will develop in the future, that is no longer something Sun Tong can control.
