Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

After hearing his father's instructions, Deng Yuntai immediately became energetic and asked: "Dad, are you planning to let me do that big business you mentioned?"

Zhang Xiuping's eyes also lit up. Her father-in-law had told them a long time ago that Suifeng Hotel was only for the couple to practice their skills. Later, there would be more profitable projects for them to run. She has always believed in what her father-in-law said. .

Now, after hearing what her father-in-law said, Zhang Xiuping couldn't help but ask: "Dad, is the time ripe?"

Deng Shirong nodded and smiled: "Yes, the situation of reform and opening up is getting better and better. The time is almost ripe for the big business I mentioned to you before. We can start making preparations now."

Deng Yuntai asked: "Dad, you asked me to pay attention to these manufacturers. Are you planning to open a large shopping mall like a department store on the second and third floors of the hotel?"

Deng Shirong said: "It's similar to a department store, but the business model is different. You need to make preliminary preparations first. This big business is not as easy as opening a restaurant. I won't tell you more about the details. I have to wait and see for a while. Wait. If we’re sure it’s ready, we’ll hire someone to decorate the second and third floors of the hotel.”

Deng Yunzhen praised: "Dad, you are so awesome. When you were building this building, you had already thought about what you were going to do. You have such a far-sighted vision."

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "It's like playing chess. You must take one step and look at three moves. The farther you look, the better you will be at chess. Why our leader is so good in the military field is because he sees better than anyone else." Far."

Deng Yuntai nodded and said: "Okay, I will pay attention to this information when I get to Bobai. I know several purchasing personnel from state-owned and collective enterprises. I will ask them about it then. I should be able to get it soon." Got the contact information of these factories.”

"There's no rush in this matter. I'm just telling you in advance so that you can be mentally prepared. This business will probably take two years to get off the ground."

"Oh, I see!"

After chatting for a few words and eating a small amount of midnight snacks, Deng Shirong put down his bowls and chopsticks and went to get a chimney to smoke.

While smoking, Deng Shirong was also thinking about letting his eldest son open a chain of supermarkets. The business model of this supermarket is absolutely novel in this era, and the management difficulty is much more difficult than in later generations. Just how to prevent customers from stealing things is a big problem. Huge problem.

After all, even with full coverage of cameras and various preventive measures in later generations, there is still no way to eliminate petty theft. How can we completely eliminate theft in this era?

If this problem cannot be solved, the supermarket's profits will be greatly affected.

Fortunately, there is still enough time, so you can slowly think of a way. You don't need to completely eliminate theft, but you only need to ensure that most customers don't steal, which will be considered a success.

There is also the need to plan in advance. Since the eldest son runs a supermarket chain, he must develop into other cities, especially Nanning, the capital city. It is absolutely not to be missed, and it is also a city that chain supermarkets need to focus on in the future. City.

Therefore, if conditions permit, he has to go to Nanning in advance to buy land and build a building. When Bobai's supermarket is up and running, he can quickly expand to Nanning.

There are also other cities in Guangxi that have to buy land and build buildings in advance if conditions permit.

In this way, supermarket chains can develop rapidly. When the number of supermarket chains increases, they will no longer be afraid of competitors.

Because after the scale is established, the purchase volume of items will be larger, and the prices will naturally be more favorable. When it has a cost advantage, even if others want to follow suit, they will never be able to shake the status of their own supermarket chain.

Let’s not talk about whether we can break out of Guangxi and go nationwide. At least in Guangxi, we must secure our position as the leader.

And all of this requires money to invest. Currently, he is still in debt. There is still a long way to go to achieve this.

But Deng Shirong is not in a hurry. In the final analysis, this is the track he has set for his eldest son and daughter-in-law. He is only responsible for getting started, and then leaves it to them to struggle on their own. In the end, it is up to them to decide where they can go. Determined by his ability, he can at most help give guidance at critical moments and will not get too involved.

…

New Year's Day.

Deng Shirong's family didn't go anywhere, they just stayed at home and chatted by the fire.

At this time, Xiao Dong'er was already over two years old and was at her most active age. She couldn't sit still for a moment and had to run out to play no matter how cold it was outside.

It happened that her fourth uncle Deng Yunhua was also very active, so he played hide-and-seek with her in the yard, which made Xiaodong so happy that she never stopped giggling and making the house warm by the fire. Several people smiled.

I have to say that children aged two or three are indeed the most playful, and their innocent laughter is the most touching.

Deng Shirong was particularly happy to see it. In his previous life, due to the untimely death of his eldest son, he had no grandchildren at this age. Now he has grandchildren, and the family conditions are getting better and better. This life is really enjoyable. Tasty.

When Xiaodong'er came back from playing tiredly, Deng Shirong took her over and sat on his lap, and asked with a smile: "Xiaodong'er, you have been running around for a long time, are you hungry?"

Xiaodong'er stretched out her hand and tugged Grandpa's beard, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, I want to eat hairy jackals and roast them."

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "Okay, then you sit here obediently and warm yourself by the fire, and grandpa will roast it for you."

Xiaodong'er nodded and said, "I am a good boy and don't play with fire."

Deng Shirong placed her on the stool next to her and praised her, "Our little Dong'er is so good."

At this time, Zhang Xiuping had already threaded a hairpin with chopsticks and brought it over. Deng Shirong took it and then approached the fire and slowly roasted it.

This was not the first time for Xiaodong'er to eat roasted hairy jackals. She just sat there and stared at her grandfather's movements, asking from time to time: "Grandpa, can you eat it?"

That eager little expression makes her look very cute.

Deng Shirong roasted the skin of the hair until it was slightly charred, then tore it off. After it was no longer hot, he handed it to her and said, "You can eat it now!"

Xiaodong'er was so greedy that she took it and put it in her mouth and started to bite. She now has 20 teeth and can bite by herself.

Deng Shirong continued to bake the hairy rice. He baked it one layer at a time, and each layer was slightly burnt. The taste was still very good, and it was both delicious and fun. Many people couldn't refuse it.

No, seeing that Xiao Dong'er was eating so well, Deng Yunzhu couldn't sit still for the first time, and ran back to poke a hairy jackal with chopsticks and grill it.

Then, others followed suit and poked a hairy jackal over to bake.

Anyone who has baked hairy rice knows that the skin layer is the most delicious when grilled. Everyone saw that Xiaodonger liked to eat it, so after roasting the skin, they tore it up and gave it to her to eat.

However, Xiaodong'er's appetite was not big, so after eating a few pieces, her stomach was full.

At this moment, a woman's heart-rending screams suddenly came from outside. There were endless curses such as Zhan Dafan, Zhan Qiandao, and Dead Guy, and she was crying while yelling.

Deng Shirong's family all recognized the voice. It was the voice of the neighbor on the right, Ajuba. She was Deng Changqi's daughter-in-law. She was on the first day of the new year and didn't know what happened. She was so angry and yelling. They were all curious. I went out for a while to see what happened.

Other families living nearby also rushed over when they heard the noise.

Deng Shirong came out and saw Ajuba with tears and runny nose mixed together, and couldn't help but ask: "Ajuba, what happened?"

"Jiu Gong!"

A'Zhuba wiped his tears and said: "Deng Changqi, this bastard, ran away to gamble and lost. Then he came back and stole the little money I had saved with great effort. He didn't lose everything in this family." It’s so comfortable, I really can’t live this life.”

Hearing this, Deng Shirong understood.

In his previous life, his second son embarked on the road of gambling, and eventually became a professional gambler with his flexible mind. Until the moment Deng Shirong was reborn, his second son made a living by gambling.

In the village, there are many people who gamble while working.

Because they can't make a living by gambling, they don't have to work when they win money. When they lose everything, they have to work honestly. When they save their capital, they come back and continue gambling until they lose everything. Go to work again, and the cycle continues.

There are also some who work during the day and gamble at night.

In short, more than half of the entire village participates in gambling, and the difference is just big gambling or small gambling.

The neighbor Deng Changqi is one of this group of gamblers. He has a very serious gambling habit and cannot quit even if he wants to.

Deng Shirong clearly remembered that in the 21st century, Deng Changqi once lost a very important sum of money in gambling. He was filled with regret and vowed on the spot that he would never gamble again, and he took a knife and chopped off the little finger of his left hand. Half of it was taken as a warning to myself.

As a result, the half of his little finger that was chopped off hadn't fully recovered yet, so he was seen on the gambling table again.

Therefore, if we want to rank the bad gambling rankings in Naye Village, even if Deng Changqi cannot sit in the top spot, he is definitely qualified to sit in the top three spots.

Originally, after his rebirth, Deng Shirong only planned to control his children and prevent them from gambling. He had no intention of meddling in other people's affairs in the village and whether they gambled or not.

Because Deng Shirong knew in his heart that since ancient times, the four bad habits of prostitution, gambling, drinking, and blowing were really difficult to get rid of. Even if he stepped forward to take care of it, it might not be effective.

However, seeing A'Zhu crying bitterly on the eighth day of the lunar new year, Deng Shirong felt a little shaken in his heart. Maybe he should take charge of it, otherwise no matter how much money he helped these tribesmen make, he would end up giving flowers to others. .

It just so happens that his prestige in the clan has reached its peak now, and the weight of his words cannot be compared with that in his previous life. No matter whether he succeeds or not, he should try it. If he succeeds, it will truly benefit future generations.

Thinking of this, Deng Shirong said to Ajuba: "I know what's going on. Don't cry or make a fuss. Let's celebrate the New Year well first. I will hold a clan meeting in a few days to deal with this matter. Other villages will bet on it. I can’t control it, but there must be no gambling establishment in the village where the Ye Deng family is located.”

"Thank you Jiu Gong! Thank you Jiu Gong!"

A'Zhuba thanked her repeatedly after hearing this. She had been married to Deng Changqi for more than ten years. She knew her man's character very well. Just because she wanted to control him and stop him from gambling was impossible. There was absolutely no way he would listen to her. Yes, this was also the reason why she cried in despair just now.

However, if Jiu Gong comes forward, the effect will be different.

The other neighbors who were watching were all people who did not participate in gambling. After all, the people who participated in gambling could not be at home now and had already sneaked out to gamble.

Therefore, when Deng Shirong said this, everyone applauded.

"It's really time to take care of it. Gambling is really harmful. My aunt's cousin's wife and son separated because of gambling."

"My uncle's cousin was not much better. Because of gambling, he sold all the valuable things in the family, which almost made my uncle angry to death."

"My treacherous son is also stubborn. He has lost at least one or two hundred yuan in the past two years. He is so angry that I want to break his legs."

"Mr. Jiu, I'm afraid that only if you speak out can we get rid of the unhealthy trend of gambling."

"..."

Seeing that the neighbors were applauding, Deng Shirong said: "Everyone is busy celebrating the New Year and visiting relatives these days, so it is not suitable to hold a clan meeting. I will hold a clan meeting to deal with this matter on the sixth day of the lunar month. The time will be set at two o'clock in the afternoon. Everyone can communicate with each other." Please tell me.”

All the neighbors agreed.

Jiu Gong intervened and gave Ajuba hope, so she stopped crying and scolded and went back to clean up her image.

When the neighbors who were watching saw this, they all dispersed.

The family returned to the house and continued to warm themselves by the fire. Deng Yuntai said: "Dad, the government has always strictly prohibited gambling and has been carrying out operations to crack down on gambling. However, gambling only pauses at the cusp of the crackdown. When the limelight passes, gambling will resume again, and it will continue to be banned. .

Dad, if you open a clan meeting to deal with this matter, I'm afraid it will be a bit thankless! "

Deng Shirong already had an idea in mind and said: "Whether gambling can be eliminated or not, I can't just sit idly by and ignore it. When the time comes, I will let these tribesmen who like to gamble make a choice. It is best if they are willing to stay away from gambling. If not Take this advice and kick these people out of the passenger transport company.”

Deng Yuntai was shocked. He didn't expect his father to be so ruthless, but he had to admit that no one dared to ignore this threat. After all, how profitable the passenger transport company was, who in the entire Naye Deng family didn't know. If he was kicked out of the passenger transport company, The loss would be immeasurable.

"If that's the case, it might actually be effective."

"Anyway, they do their best and obey fate. If they listen to the advice, they will definitely be able to live a better life than most people in the future. If they don't listen to the advice, it is also a personal choice. How they live their lives in the future is none of other people's business. thing."

At this point, Deng Shirong stopped discussing this topic, looked at Zhang Xiuping and said: "Sister Aping, you can go back to your parents' home tomorrow and take Dongzi with you. Xiaodong'er can stay at home, otherwise it will be difficult to come and go with the two children. inconvenient."

Zhang Xiuping nodded and said: "Okay, then let Xiaodong'er stay at home."

…

The next day.

After breakfast, Deng Yuntai, Deng Changyuan and Deng Changdong rode bicycles, taking their wives, children and gifts with them to Poxin Village.

Ever since the three little sisters Zhang Xiuping, Ou Guohua, and Ou Guofang got married one after another, they would go back to their parents' home together on the second day of the new year every year. This year is the third year that they have returned to their parents' home together.

Now, Zhang Xiuping has given birth to a son and a daughter, and Ou Guofang and Ou Guohua are also pregnant with their second child!

It was precisely because the Ou sisters were pregnant that the three of them rode very slowly along the way. By the time they arrived at Poxin Village, it was already close to noon.

Deng Yuntai brought his wife and children to his mother-in-law's house. What he saw was a row of brand-new blue brick houses with large tiles. The architectural style was not exactly the same as their house, but it was at least eighty-nine points similar.

"Mom and dad, eldest brother and sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, Xiaojun Xiaoshan!"

"Yuntai, Xiuping!"

"Sister, brother-in-law!"

When both parties meet, it is indispensable to say hello and say some polite words.

Two minutes later, they all went inside to warm themselves by the fire.

We chatted about this new house, and then the topic naturally turned to Naye Deng's passenger transport company.

Zhang Zhenfa couldn't help but ask: "Xiuping, I heard your mother come back and tell you that your Jedeng's passenger transport company is full of passengers during the Spring Festival every day and makes a lot of money?"

In front of her parents, there is nothing to keep this kind of thing secret, so Zhang Xiuping replied directly: "We have indeed made a lot of money. According to my father-in-law's prediction, after the Spring Festival travel rush, the company will earn at least about 400,000 yuan."

"hiss……"

Hearing this, the Zhang family, including Zhang's mother, couldn't help but take a breath of air.

In one Spring Festival travel rush, you can earn at least 400,000 yuan. The speed of making money is simply faster than robbing a bank!

And they know that this passenger transport company was started by the father-in-law, who invested a total of 360,000 yuan into it and is the largest shareholder of the passenger transport company.

Of the 400,000 earned, how much will the father-in-law get?

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhenfa looked at his son-in-law and asked: "Yuntai, out of the 400,000 earned, if divided according to shares, how much can your father get?"

Deng Yuntai answered honestly: "It can be divided into about 54,000 yuan!"

"hiss……"

Hearing this answer, the Zhang family took a breath again.

Although they were mentally prepared to a certain extent, they were still shocked by the speed at which their in-laws made money.

Sister-in-law Zhang and Sister-in-law Zhang looked at each other and were equally shocked.

Their family runs a small shop on Longtan Street, and now they can earn several thousand yuan a year. This is already considered very impressive in Poxin Village. They can be counted on one hand to compare with their family, but they can’t compare with them. Compared with my sister-in-law's family, their family's income is really nothing.

After all, the income of my sister-in-law’s family includes not only the passenger transport company, but also the Suifeng Hotel and the Tile Factory, even if we don’t mention the income from the orchard!

At this time, Zhang Zhenfa happened to ask: "What about the hotel? You and your wife are in charge of the hotel this year. How much money have you made?"

Zhang Xiuping replied with pride: "The hotel's revenue this year is much higher than last year. The profit for the whole year will be about 39,000 yuan!"

When the Zhang family heard this, they were all shocked!

54,000 + 39,000 = 93,000. The Zhang family has long known that the in-laws’ income from the cylinder tile factory is about 7,000 yuan per year, which adds up to just 100,000 yuan.

What is the concept of an income of more than 100,000 yuan a year?

According to the current rate at which their family is making money, it will take at least more than twenty years to earn so much money.

At this moment, Zhang Zhenfa really admired Deng Shirong, his in-laws.

He had known for a long time that his family was very successful in making money, but he really didn't expect it to be so powerful.

Originally, when he learned that his in-laws had borrowed hundreds of thousands from a credit union, he was still worried about his in-laws and wondered whether they would be able to repay the loan. But now he has finally settled down.

Seeing that her family members were all shocked, Zhang Xiuping asked: "Mom, dad, eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, although the income of the small shop you are currently running is not bad, the rate of making money is still a little slow. Have you ever thought about doing some other business?”

Zhang Zhenfa is relatively conservative when it comes to business. If it weren't for his daughter's constant persuasion, he wouldn't be able to open the small shop he is currently running. Now that the shop can earn several thousand yuan a year, he is very satisfied. , I never thought about expanding my business or running other businesses.

Therefore, upon hearing his daughter's inquiry, Zhang Zhenfa shook his head and said, "I never thought about it."

Sister-in-law Zhang's eyes lit up and she asked, "Mei Ping, do you have a more profitable business that you would like us to do?"

After hearing this, Sister-in-law Zhang looked at her sister-in-law expectantly. This shop has been run by their sisters-in-law most of the time. They are already very familiar with business, and they are more enterprising than the conservative father-in-law.

Zhang Xiuping has been practicing in the county for so long, and her vision has changed. She is still confident about finding a profitable business for her mother's family. When she heard the question from her sister-in-law, she smiled and said: "If the sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law If you want to go further, we can discuss it together. The situation is getting better day by day, and there are many ways to make money."

Sister-in-law Zhang said: "Mei Ping, of course we want to go further, but we just don't know what to do?"

Second Sister-in-law Zhang nodded and said, "Yes, it's okay for me and Sister-in-law to look at the store and sell things, but if we have to think about what kind of business to do, we can't figure it out."

Zhang Xiuping said: "Now everyone is developing the economy, and there will be more and more rich people every year. When you get rich, you will naturally build new houses as soon as possible, so the demand for green bricks and red bricks will increase in the future." The bigger it is, if you invest in building a brick factory now, you will definitely make a lot of money.”

When Zhang Zhenfa heard this, he couldn't help but remind him: "Xiuping, our brigade already has a brick factory."

Zhang Xiuping said: "Basically every brigade now has a brick factory, but most of them are just small brick factories with limited production capacity and cannot meet the increasing demand. Dad, if you are brave enough, you can invest in opening a large-scale brick factory." I believe the brick factory will definitely make money.”

Zhang Zhenfa felt a little guilty and asked: "To build a large brick factory, the initial investment alone will cost at least tens of thousands, right?"

Zhang Xiuping nodded and said: "Although I have not done any research, the investment of tens of thousands of dollars is definitely required, maybe more than that."

"That won't work, the investment is too big!" Zhang Zhenfa shook his head repeatedly after hearing this. When he first opened a small store, he hesitated for a long time with an investment of only a few hundred yuan. Now he has invested at least tens of thousands of yuan in this business. It's absolutely impossible.

After all, not everyone has the courage of his in-laws.
