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

With Sun Tong's explanation, there was no need for Sun Jingwen to say anything more. Sun Boyui knew what to do next.

The little incident that happened on the subcontinent did not affect the interest of Sun Tong and his grandfather in fishing. In fact, after being emperor for so many years, Sun Jingwen was still very envious of his father's life after retirement.

If possible, he actually hopes that he can retire earlier like his father.

It's a pity that his idea was extinguished by his father as soon as it began to emerge. After all, he is only 45 years old and is in the prime of his life. If he wants to quit so early, not only Sun Tong will not agree, but even the crown prince Sun Boyui will not agree.

"Father, what do you think will be the final outcome of the Ugly Country?"

"It's hard to say, but the biggest possibility is that the states will disband and everyone will live their own lives. After all, with the example of those chaebol countries in South America, this kind of thing is not completely unacceptable to those chaebols in the Ugly Country. Although they will not be able to enjoy the existing favorable conditions after the disbandment, they can definitely unite with those South American countries to form an alliance. When that time comes, the influence of this alliance may not be worse than that of our Nanhua."

"Will it be like this? Then should we take precautions?"

Outsiders may not have a clear understanding of the situation in Nanhua, but as the emperor of Nanhua, Sun Jingwen knows it very clearly.

You should know that in 67, the GDP of South China had reached trillion South yuan. How exaggerated is this number? The GDP of the entire European region is only trillion now. In other words, the GDP of South China alone is equal to the total of hundreds of countries.

If someone says that a country's GDP cannot fully represent the country's economy, then let's talk about per capita income.

Since 65, the per capita income of South China has reached 2000 South Chinese yuan, while the per capita income of the second-ranked country, China, was only 800 US dollars during the same period.

The exchange rate between the Southern Yuan and the US dollar has always been similar, and at that time the total population of South China was more than twice that of the Ugly Country.

It has a large population, a vast territory, a strong economy, and advanced technology.

If we make a comprehensive comparison among all the countries in the world, then today's South China can be said to be completely overwhelming other countries.

In the early years, the U.S. wanted to use external conflicts to hide domestic conflicts, and during this period it also launched a trade war with South China.

But what about the final result?

The Chou Kingdom returned in defeat. At that time, the Chou Kingdom fully realized the horror of Nanhua. From then on, the Chou Kingdom no longer dared to provoke this monster, Nanhua.

The Ugly Country in this world is no longer the world beacon that Sun Tong had in his previous life. Given the current complex global situation, the Ugly Country itself knows that it is actually irrational to provoke South China at this time.

So since that time, the Ugly Country never dared to cause trouble in the trade between the two countries again.

However, precisely because there was no Cold War, the Ugly Country was relatively pragmatic when developing its economy in this life. Even though that group of chaebols had been against the Ugly government, the development trend of the Ugly Country remained very stable. This also completely made Sun Tong lose his foresight about the future international situation.

Why did he retire early?

It was because his golden finger had been weakened. Since then, when he dealt with various international affairs, he had actually been using the political experience he had accumulated over the years and his later thinking.

However, these things are not unique to him. After years of training by him, Sun Jingwen's abilities in all aspects are no worse than his. It is precisely because of this that he handed over the power to Sun Jingwen so early.

"There's no need to take precautions. Even if those countries really form an alliance, they won't be of one mind. After all, they are all countries formed by chaebols, and what they care about most is always the interests of their own families. So even if the alliance I mentioned appears, it will only be a bloated giant. How can it be compared with Nanyuan?"

"Father is right, but the emergence of this alliance is still a threat to us Nanhua."

"Then we should find a way to prevent those South American countries from joining them. However, this also depends on the situation of the Russian bear at that time. The situation in the ugly country is not good, and the Russian bear also has many problems. The Russian bear, which is walking on one leg, may not catch up with the ugly country in the future."

"How could that be? With the technical capabilities of the Russian bears, their light industry will not always remain in its current state, right?"

Well, in this era, no one thinks that Russia cannot develop its own light industry. If it has not developed it now, at most it just has not put in the effort. When there is time, these industries can be developed in minutes, right?
