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

"Xiaoting, are you willing to take your brother's last name from now on?"

"May I?"

"Of course you can. You are my sister. How can a sister not have the same surname as her brother?"

"Yeah, so should I be called Sun Xiaoting from now on?"

"That's right, it's Sun Xiaoting. Come, brother will teach you how to write your own name."

Traditional Chinese characters were still used during the Republic of China period. If Sun Tong was asked to write an article entirely in traditional Chinese characters, he might not be able to do it.

But it's okay to just write a name.

The brother and sister taught each other, but what Sun Tong didn't expect was that Sun Xiaoting was actually a little genius.

In one night, he taught Sun Xiaoting a total of 100 words. Originally, he didn't think Sun Xiaoting could learn all of them, after all, Sun Xiaoting was only nine years old.

But I didn't expect that this girl had such a strong learning ability. She learned all the 100 words in less than two hours, and she could write them quite well.

These one hundred characters have almost used up all the traditional Chinese characters in Sun Tong's brain.

After coaxing Sun Xiaoting to sleep, this guy directly took out a large dictionary from his personal space.

This dictionary, together with the Wenquxing electronic dictionary in the space, were all carefully prepared by Sun Tong for this era.

In order to teach his sister, Sun Tong tried his best this time. While he was still awake, he tried his best to memorize about 300 words.

It was not until I couldn't study anymore that I put the dictionary and electronic dictionary into my personal space.

The next day, Sun Tong got up early. After taking a quick shower and taking care of his personal hygiene, he took Sun Xiaoting, who had just woken up, out.

Since he plans to settle down in Shanghai, it is definitely not possible to stay in a hotel all the time.

After all, the amount of fake foreign currency and dollars he prepared was limited, so he had to buy a house as a place to stay first.

He could afford a large manor, but the problem was that such a house would be too conspicuous to live in.

After much deliberation, he finally decided to spend 27,000 francs to buy a villa in the French Concession.

The area of ​​this villa is not small, and it also comes with a small garden. If such a house was placed before Sun Tong traveled through time, it would definitely be a luxury house that he could never afford in his lifetime. But now he just casually bought such a house. From this point of view, traveling through time to the Republic of China is not without any benefits.

The decoration of the house was already ready, so he only needed to buy a new set of furniture and then he could move in directly.

There is not much choice in terms of furniture.

There is only one furniture store in the French Concession, so you can just go there and buy it.

Before the time travel, because the franc was not a popular currency in the Republic of China, he did not print too many, only more than 70,000 in total.

This little money has been almost used up on buying a house, furniture and a car.

He currently has more than 12,000 francs left, and he is not going to use the remaining francs before he opens his own printing factory. No one can tell whether he will need the francs in the future.

Compared with francs, he has the largest amount of British pounds, euros, marks and yen, especially yen. Sun Tong has no psychological burden at all when spending it, so of course he will make as much as he can.

I was busy for a whole week.

Sun Tong first hired servants for his family, and then found a church school for Sun Xiaoting to attend.

After arranging all this, Sun Tong spent money to solve the household registration problems for himself and Sun Xiaoting.

Then he spent another 80,000 yen to buy a factory near the suburbs.

According to Sun Tong's plan, he will open a chemical plant and a printing factory next.

In order to successfully open these two factories, Sun Tong has even made plans to spend all the Japanese yen in the short term.

Normally, Sun Tong doesn’t need to buy the equipment needed to open these two factories from outside.

There were already a lot of equipment in his space. Although those equipment had been eliminated before Sun Tong traveled through time, they still had the ability to attack by dimensionality reduction in this era.

But the problem is that if he wants to open a factory and doesn't buy some equipment from outside, it will be easy for people to find out what he is doing.

Besides, he had so much Japanese yen on him. If he didn't spend it, wouldn't it be a bargain for the Japanese?

Although Sun Tong is willing to invest money, opening a factory requires more than just money.

What he lacks most right now is people he can trust.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of honest people worth cultivating in this era. After a period of observation, Sun Tong finally selected five young people who are conscientious and have good intentions.

These five people are the initial team established by Sun Tong.

Because Sun Tong was a specially selected orphan, these five people are now all given the surname Sun by Sun Tong.

This is one of the few ways that Sun Tong can currently use to bring him closer to these five young people.

I have people under my command, but their abilities still need to be developed.

So Sun Tong could only ask the teacher to teach the five boys first, and for the time being he could only hire someone else to help Sun Tong complete the factory construction.
