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

"Brother Xiongqi, no, I should call you big brother now. Long time no see."

Originally, Bai Xiongqi was inferior to Sun Tong, but now the two have become real relatives, so Sun Tong is willing to give Bai Xiongqi face.

"Brother-in-law, long time no see. It's fate that I never thought we would become relatives now."

"That's true. Remember when we first met, you were still an ambitious overseas student. Over the years, you have become a higher-ranking official."

Since bringing his two wives home, Sun Tong has spent more time with his two young wives.

Now, all the boys in the family have been sent to study abroad, and the girl Sun Xiaoting is busy with newspaper affairs all day long.

So Sun Tong, who had nothing to do, came up with the idea of ​​taking his two wives to travel around the Dragon Kingdom of this era.

Wenxi and Bai Xiuzhu were initially skeptical about Sun Tong's proposal. After all, this era was not so safe and it was easy to get into trouble if they ran around everywhere.

But when they saw the security team that Sun Tong was equipped with when he went out this time, the worries in their hearts were immediately thrown out of their minds.

Since July of 22nd year, a group of over a hundred people have been heading south, starting from the Magic City and arriving at the Demon City. After playing in the Demon City for half a month and meeting with a group of old friends from the southern government, Sun Tong took Wenxi and Bai Xiuzhu on the journey again.

This time they first rushed to the southwest, played around there and then headed north. At this time, a full year had passed since they set out from the Magic City.

Just at this time, Wenxi announced that she was pregnant. Now Zisun and the others could no longer wander around. They set out from the Fog City, first arrived at the Divine City, and then took a train from the Divine City to Yanjing.

Yanjing is Sun Xiongqi's territory, so after Sun Tong arrived here, he would definitely visit his brother-in-law.

Compared to when the two first met, Bai Xiongqi is now much more mature, especially his two extremely coquettish mustaches, which he has groomed to be shiny and glossy.

"It's all for the Dragon Kingdom. I have to thank you. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get the position of Deputy Minister of Finance."

Although most of Sun Tong's influence is concentrated on the southern government, it does not mean that he has no say in the Beiyang government.

As a giant who controls the economy of Magic City behind the scenes, many people in the Beiyang government have close ties with the companies under his name. Even many warlords under the Beiyang government have recently begun to purchase weapons from him. From these aspects, we can see how great Sun Tong's influence on Longguo is now.

In fact, the development of Dragon Country in this world has taken another path. Apart from anything else, the number of arsenals in Dragon Country in this world is not comparable to the original history.

At present, Longguo’s annual steel output has reached 80 tons. It should be noted that in the same period of history, this figure was only over 2 tons.

This steel production is enough to make Longguo the second in Asia, and it exceeds the original third place by more than 340,000 tons.

As steel production increased, the conditions for manufacturing weapons naturally became better than before, which led to an increasing number of domestic military factories.

Although these military factories all use outdated and backward production lines, Longguo must first solve the problem of whether they exist or not before considering whether they are good or not.

Taking the first step successfully is of vital importance to Longguo. The reason why Longguo has been able to achieve such a large-scale development is that Sun Tong has made a lot of efforts during this period.

Nowadays, warlords from all over the country are still hoping to buy more weapons production lines from Sun Tong. When Sun Tong does not choose to participate in the struggle for hegemony, his status in the country is still very transcendent, and everyone is willing to give face to him, the "King of the Demon City".

Because Sun Tong had no desire for these warlords, these people turned their attention to Sun Tong's relatives. As a result, the circumstances of the Wen and Bai families in the country have undergone tremendous changes over the past year.

The two major governments in the north and the south are now vying for these two companies, and it just so happens that these two companies have investments in both major governments. It seems that the younger generations of the Wen family and the Bai family have all risen rapidly in the past year, especially Bai Xiongqi, who has become the Deputy Minister of Finance of the Beiyang government.

"We are a family, so why should you be so polite, brother? However, there are some things that I, as your younger brother, must remind you of in advance."

"Zhongmin, just speak your mind."

"Compared to your Beiyang government, I am more optimistic about the Southern government, so Big Brother should try not to be tied to the Beiyang government. If you can do more good things for the South, then Big Brother's future will be guaranteed."

"What does Zhongmin mean by this? Could it be that the Southern Government really has some hidden card that I don't know about?"

"Yes, and quite a lot. Anyway, big brother, just listen to me. That's why I say these things to you now that we are a family. If it were someone else, I would definitely not admit the above words."

"Thank you, Zhongmin, for telling me the truth, but isn't my current situation completely tied to Beiyang Payment?"

"Of course not. Your current position may seem important, but you are not the head of the Ministry of Finance after all. The Southern Government will not take you, the Deputy Minister, seriously. But if in a few years, when you are promoted, it will be hard to say."

Sun Tong was not trying to scare Bai Xiongqi when he said these words to him, he was really thinking about them.

Bai Xiongqi is not very old now, and he still has a long time in his political life. If he is really tied to the Beiyang government, then after the Southern Government unifies Longguo, there will probably be no place for him in the new government.

For a political creature like Bai Xiongqi, losing power is probably more frightening than being killed directly. It is not too late to turn back now. After Sun Tong's reminder, if Bai Xiongqi still intends to bang his head against the wall, it will have nothing to do with him.

In fact, it would be good for him to train more now. Sun Tong plans to establish a country overseas in the future. When Bai Xiongqi has been trained enough, even if he loses power in the country in the future, Sun Tong can bring him overseas and make him a relative of the emperor.

After all, they are all family, and Sun Tong will definitely not treat him unfairly.
