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

"Brother, can you please act a little more grown-up? Look at these toys you made. Are they for children to play with? How old are those little ones at home?"

Seeing that the 'toys' prepared by Sun Tong were becoming more and more outrageous, Wenxi and Bai Xiuzhu hadn't said anything yet, but Sun Xiaoting couldn't help it first.

As the girl grew older, Sun Xiaoting's temper became worse and worse.

In the past, it was always this girl's turn to teach Sun Tong a lesson. But now, since she became Sun Tong's assistant, she will take every opportunity to teach Sun Tong a lesson.

After all, she is his own sister. What can Sun Tong do to this girl? He can only bear with it. This makes Sun Xiaoting the one with the "most say" in the eyes of the Sun family's little guys.

"How dare you criticize me? Why didn't you play with those things when you took them home? Forget about anything else, just look at those stuffed toys. How many of them are in your room? And those Barbie dolls? I don't know who was fighting with Xiao Ruoruo for the toys. You're such an interesting person."

If Sun Xiaoting wants to teach him a lesson, then Sun Tongbi will definitely not give in to her. Come on, let's hurt each other. He wants to see who can't stand it first.

"I was keeping it for Xiao Ruoruo. How could it be the same as your situation?"

"How are they different? They're all just playing. How can you tell the difference?"

"I'm telling you two, can you please be quiet? You just keep quarreling all day long. Don't you feel ashamed in front of the children? Hurry up and eat your meal in peace!"

Wen Xi thought that there was no end in sight for the brother and sister, and this time she couldn't stand it anymore. With a shout, both Sun Tong and Sun Xiaoting became obedient.

Sun Tong’s food chain today is actually very complicated.

On the surface, it seems that Sun Xiaoting has a lot of say in the family, at least that's what the four little ones in the family think.

But the reality is not so.

Whether it is Sun Tong, Wenxi or Bai Xiuzhu, these three people, as Sun Xiaoting's elders, have more say in the family than this girl. Let's put it this way, as long as Sun Xiaoting is not married, she will not have any say in the Sun family.

On the contrary, among the three of them, Sun Tong's say does not seem to be as high as his two wives', but the problem is that Sun Tong is giving in to them in this matter, and he would never argue with them over trivial matters on weekdays.

When something big really happens, you will see who has the final say.

However, it is precisely because Sun Tong does not have any male chauvinism that the Sun family's family environment is so harmonious.

The only thing that makes Sun Tong feel regretful is that his younger brothers in the family now choose to stay outside, otherwise the Sun family would be more lively.

As promised, Sun Tong played with the children for the whole afternoon. He had originally planned to take Sun Jingwen and Sun Jingwu to see a teacher the next day.

But plans cannot keep up with the speed of change. Early the next morning, the latest news came back from Europe. There had been new progress in the negotiations between Carl and the Ying government. The Ying government had agreed to all the conditions put forward by Sun Tong.

The only problem here is that the price offered by the Ying government for this transaction scared Carl a little.

"Are you sure the price offered by the Ying government is one billion pounds?"

The international exchange rate is not stable nowadays, but even if there is no problem, one pound can be exchanged for at least four US dollars, which means that the price offered by the British government for this transaction is 4 billion US dollars.

Is it appropriate to buy such a large piece of land at this price?

It is definitely suitable, but that is Sun Tong's view of the value of this area. In fact, based on the current understanding of the era, if Sun Tong can offer 300 million pounds for this deal, he will be called a "sucker" by people all over the world.

The reality is that, apart from being large enough, this area simply does not have enough development value.

After the Ugly Country defeated the Bull Country, it offered 1898 million US dollars for the Luzon Islands. Although it was still at that time, judging from the global economic development in recent years, even now, the value of the Luzon Islands would not exceed million US dollars.

So the question is, the main subject of the transaction between Sun Tong and Yingguo this time is North Borneo and Guinea Island. Can the value of these two places be compared with the Luzon Islands?

There is no comparability at all. Apart from their larger areas, how else can North Borneo and Guinea Island compare with Luzon?

The infrastructure is not good and the population is insufficient, especially in terms of the natural environment. Although the island of Guinea is large, there are not many places that are truly suitable for human habitation.

So after excluding these two places from this transaction, how much value will be left for the other islands?

"The Yingguo guys are crazy about money. I do value this deal, but that's not a reason for them to treat me as a victim. So, you send a telegram to Carl immediately and tell him to temporarily stop this deal. Humph, just wait, there will be a time when the Yingguo guys beg me for help!"

Sun Tong was really angry this time, otherwise he would have made the deal even if it meant paying more.

However, there is no need to rush this matter. The global economic crisis will come in another year. Few people are unfamiliar with the name of the Great Depression. He just wants to see whether the British will continue to be stubborn by then.
