Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

After having dinner with Zhou Shengli and discussing next year's cooperation, Deng Shirong did not stay in the capital any longer and got on the train back to Guangxi the next day.

Taking a train in this day and age is extremely difficult, whether in summer or winter.

The smell of sweat and other odors is particularly strong in the summer. Sitting on the train for days and nights, let alone the question of whether you can sleep well or not, just smelling these strange smells is unbearable. Although the odor is relatively better in winter, the temperature is low in winter and it is easy to catch a cold while sleeping in the car. If you catch a cold in the car, it will be even more uncomfortable than smelling a strange smell.

In short, it is indeed very difficult for people to travel far in this era. Compared with later generations, it is really a world of difference.

Nothing worth mentioning happened along the way. After staying up for a few days and nights, Deng Shirong returned to Nanning safely.

As usual, he stayed one night in a guest house in Nanning, and the next day Deng Shirong got on the bus back to Bobai.

…

afternoon.

Suifeng Hotel.

As soon as Deng Shirong walked to the door, his eldest granddaughter Xiaodonger ran out from inside, shouting: "Grandpa!"

Deng Shirong laughed and picked her up and asked, "Xiao Dong'er, do you miss grandpa?"

Xiaodong'er nodded her head and said in a cute voice: "I miss grandpa!"

Deng Shirong said with a smile on his face: "Grandpa misses you too. Have you been good lately?"

Xiaodong'er said: "Auntie said I am very good."

While talking, Deng Shirong had already walked into the hotel with his eldest granddaughter in his arms.

"dad!"

Zhang Xiuping said hello with a smile. She was already more than six months pregnant and her belly was already showing.

Deng Shirong hummed and asked, "How is your appetite lately? Is your body okay?"

Zhang Xiuping nodded and said: "My health is quite good. I insist on eating small meals frequently and my appetite is also good."

Deng Shirong warned: "Make sure you get enough rest and leave the hotel affairs to Yuntai."

Zhang Xiuping responded with a smile.

At this time, Deng Yuntai and Deng Yunzhen also came over to say hello to their father.

Deng Shirong said a few words to them, then put his eldest granddaughter down and said to her with a smile: "Xiao Dong'er, you can play by yourself. Grandpa is hungry and wants to eat!"

Xiaodong'er responded, and then went to play with her on her own. The hotel was so big, it was enough for her to play, as long as she kept an eye on her and didn't let her run out.

Deng Yunzhen asked: "Dad, what do you want to eat? I'll tell Master Zhang."

Deng Shirong said: "You ask Master Zhang to fry the cucumber skin, add more chili peppers, and add some white-cut pig's feet."

Deng Yunzhen responded and left.

Deng Shirong walked up to Mr. Zhang Guangzong and said hello: "Uncle Zhang, how are you doing recently?"

Zhang Guangzong put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "It's okay so far. If nothing goes wrong, I can still drink with you boss for a few more years."

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "A few years is not enough, at least it will take another thirty years to drink."

Zhang Guangzong laughed and said: "I don't dare to think about it in thirty years. If I can drink for ten years without any disease or pain like now, I will die without regrets."

While the two were talking, Zhang Wenjuan, the waiter, had already served a bowl of porridge. Having been a waiter here for so long, she naturally knew the big boss's habits. If the weather is hot, she must drink a bowl of porridge before drinking. .

If the weather is cold, you must eat half a bowl of rice before drinking.

I never drink on an empty stomach anyway.

Therefore, she doesn't need to ask now. She can't go wrong by simply serving plain porridge.

Zhang Wenjuan brought the white porridge, and soon Zhang Wenying brought the white-cut pig's feet, and within two minutes, cucumber peels were also brought.

The crispy, refreshing and spicy cucumber rind is really a magical tool for serving porridge. Deng Shirong drank a bowl of white porridge with the melon rind before pouring wine and chatting with Zhang Guangzong while drinking.

Deng Shirong tasted a piece of white-cut pig's feet, and it still had the familiar flavor of Bobai. He put down his chopsticks and said, "Uncle Zhang, I got a piece of gossip some time ago, and I feel it is necessary to tell you."

Zhang Guangzong asked: "What gossip?"

Deng Shirong said: "Uncle Zhang, you know what has happened in society in the past two years. Something is wrong. Some people are too arrogant, so the central government has made up its mind to launch a massive nationwide uprising. Severely crack down on criminal activities that seriously endanger social security.”

Zhang Guangzong said: "This is a good thing. There are indeed a lot of scum in the society now. It can be said that it is very satisfying to deal with these rampant guys."

Deng Shirong said: "This is indeed a good thing for ordinary people like us, but Zhang Shuqian has also experienced those years. He should understand that even if the starting point is good, some things will fail if the execution goes wrong, or someone takes the When used as an arrow, a good thing may turn into a bad thing.”

Hearing this, Zhang Guangzong's expression changed instantly. Anyone who has experienced those years will never forget the madness at that time.

Deng Shirong changed his words and said with a smile: "Of course, this kind of thing may not happen, but no matter what happens, we should nip it in the bud. Those young people in your village who are more popular, Uncle Zhang, please try your best to remind them and let them Keep a low profile for the rest of the time and don’t hit the gun.”

Zhang Guangzong was deeply impressed by what he heard. He picked up the wine and touched it with Deng Shirong. He said: "On behalf of the young people in the village, I would like to thank you for reminding me. I will call the young people in the village to talk about this when I go back in the evening, so that they will not know how powerful it is. It would be unjust to be caught acting in a high-profile manner.”

Deng Shirong had a drink with him and stopped discussing the matter.

…

Within a few days, the entire county launched a campaign to severely crack down on criminals who seriously endanger social security.

This crackdown campaign implemented the central government's policy of "strike hard, fast and resolutely, and catch them all in one sweep". The county public security bureau worked closely with the procuratorate, court, judicial bureau and other units. It took more than three years and was divided into three major campaigns and 10 battles.

The intensity of this crackdown is unprecedented.

Those tyrannical and extremely rampant scum of society in the past were all arrested by the public security organs, and criminal gangs were destroyed one by one. This effectively dealt a blow to the arrogance of criminals, and finally curbed the increasingly rampant criminal activities.

Thanks to Deng Shirong's reminder, some young people in Xincun who were high-profile but had no bad deeds kept a low profile during this period. They rarely even went out to visit Bobai Street, so they naturally avoided the fate of being arrested.

Deng Shirong's favor was given away.

…

Near Bobai Bus Station, Guangxi Tenglong Passenger Transport Co., Ltd. was established.

Deng Shirong came over and saw the company brand and nodded with satisfaction.

"Clan leader!"

"Jiu Gong!"

Seeing Deng Shirong come in, several people in the company greeted him one after another.

This Tenglong Passenger Transport Company is naturally a newly established passenger transport company of the Naye Deng family. Several managers in the company are all elites selected from the clan. The general manager is Deng Changyu from Longjing Village. He is 24 years old this year. He is a fresh graduate of Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, and the first Naye Deng to be admitted to a key university after the college entrance examination was resumed.

Previously, Deng Shirong was unwilling to be the person in charge of this passenger transport company because he thought it was troublesome. Then the clan members jointly recommended talents, and Deng Changyu, a recent graduate from a key university, was naturally promoted.

Deng Changyu's father was also present at that time. Originally, his son had a job assigned by the state after graduation. He was unwilling to let his son give up such an iron rice bowl, but Deng Shirong took the initiative and offered the future general manager a high salary of 300 yuan per month. , coupled with the pleading of the elders in the clan, finally convinced his father, and then his father came forward to convince him.

After greeting each other, Deng Changyu respectfully "reported" his work to Deng Shirong.

As a college student who graduated from a key university, if Deng Changyu faced anyone in the clan instead of Deng Shirong, he would not be so respectful because of his arrogance. After all, college students in this era are really awesome.

But in front of Deng Shirong, Deng Changyu did not dare to be arrogant under any circumstances.

In terms of seniority, Deng Shirong is his grandfather.

In terms of ability, Deng Shirong is currently the richest man in Shuangwang. His ability to make money is obvious to all in the clan, and this passenger transport company was also proposed by Deng Shirong.

Moreover, Deng Shirong's second son was admitted to Peking University.

Taking all aspects together, Deng Changyu can only be an obedient junior in front of Deng Shirong.

After Deng Changyu explained the recent work of the passenger transport company, Deng Shirong said approvingly: "The company is advancing very quickly. You are doing a good job as the general manager. Next, just follow what I told you before and buy ten vehicles first." Buses, and opened up passenger transport routes in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Dongguan, Foshan, Zhuhai, Zhongshan, Huizhou and Jiangmen.

Among them, the two heavyweight cities of Shenzhen and Guangzhou must ensure that there is one flight every day.

Now that Shenzhen is a special zone, you need to apply for a border permit to enter and exit. You need to prepare for these in advance. "

In this era, Guangdong is at the forefront of the country's reform and opening up, so when it comes to passenger transportation, there is basically no need to consider other provinces, and it is enough to focus on Guangdong.

And now in Bobai, not to mention the inter-provincial shuttle bus routes, even the shuttle bus routes in various prefecture-level cities in the province have not yet been opened!

Therefore, the route from Bobai to various heavyweight cities in Guangdong is still a blank market. As the first person to try it, Guangxi Tenglong Passenger Transport Co., Ltd. is destined to take off as long as it does not seek death.

Deng Changyu nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, Mr. Jiu, I know what to do!"

Deng Shirong had already done what he needed to explain, so he didn't say any more. After visiting the company, he left.

…

In the territory of Bobai County, there are five autonomous region-run agricultural reclamation farms, namely Maoqing Farm located in Maoshi Brigade of Wendi Commune, Changchun Farm located in Changchun Brigade of Ningtan Commune, Dongping Farm located in Fushan Brigade of Dongping Commune, and Wangmao Farm Wangmao Farm in Wangmao Brigade of Songshan Commune, and Baiping Farm in Tanlian Brigade of Songshan Commune.

The main task of the five major farmlands is to produce rubber.

However, in addition to the main rubber trees, major farmlands also grow sisal, tea, fruits and other cash crops.

In addition to these five autonomous region farm reclamations, Bobai also has six county-run farms, including the Bobai County Farm located more than 100 meters away from the entrance of South Street of the county seat, the Longtan Pepper Farm located in the southern slope brigade of Longtan Commune, and the Longtan Pepper Farm located in Wendi. The Wendi pepper farm of the Pingwang Brigade of the Commune, the Bobai County Horticulture Farm of the Green Field Brigade of Wangmao Commune, the Dongping Breed Breeding Farm located east of Dongping Street, and the Bobai Fruit Seedling Farm located near Baigeyong in the northeast corner of the county.

With so many farms, Deng Shirong didn't know which farm grew pineapples on land, but he knew that information must be exchanged between farms. He just had to ask one of them and he would know.

It happened that he was in the county seat now, so he went directly to the Bobai County farm to inquire about the news.

The result was as he expected, and he got the information he wanted without any effort. Currently, the only farm that grows pineapples is Dongping Farm.

After finding out more about it, Deng Shirong took a car to Dongping Farm.

Dongping Commune is 38 kilometers away from the county seat and is on the Bolong Highway. Every time Deng Shirong goes to Bobai or returns to his hometown, he has to pass through Dongping.

After taking the bus to Dongping Street, if you want to go to Dongping Farm, you can only walk on two legs.

At this time, Deng Shirong felt that he had to buy a motorcycle as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too inconvenient to go out.

However, if he wanted to walk to Dongping Farm, he had to find someone to find out how to go. A young man riding a bicycle happened to pass by, so Deng Shirong waved and said hello: "Hello, Biao, I wanted to ask." How to get to Dongping Farm?”

The young man stopped the car and said with a smile: "What a coincidence. I'm going back to the farm now. Why don't you get in the car and I'll take you there!"

Deng Shirong didn't expect such a coincidence, so he couldn't help but smile: "That's great, it saves me walking!"

The young man smiled and said, "Uncle, then get in the car!"

Deng Shirong said: "You step on it first, and I'll just jump on the car."

Anyone who has carried people on a bicycle knows that if you get on the bicycle and sit down before pedaling, the combined weight of the two people will make it very difficult to start.

Therefore, most of the time, adults wait for the cyclist to pedal the bicycle first, while the cyclist follows and runs a few steps, and then jumps on and sits down. This is not convenient for the cyclist. It will be difficult.

The young man smiled and said yes, and then started pedaling the bicycle. Deng Shirong ran a few steps and then jumped on the bicycle and sat down. The whole process was extremely smooth.

After Deng Shirong jumped on the car and sat down, the young man pedaled his bicycle and asked, "Uncle, what's your surname? Are you here to find someone on our farm?"

Deng Shirong said: "My surname is Deng. I'm here to discuss some business with the farm manager. What do you call me, my descendant? From what you say, you are an employee of the farm?"

The young man said: "My surname is Qin. Uncle Deng, just call me Xiao Qin. I am indeed a farm employee."

Deng Shirong asked: "I see that you are not very young, and you are really good at being able to work on a farm."

Xiao Qin said: "I am not too young at this time. I am already 22 years old this year. I can work on the farm because of my connections. Uncle Deng, you are really powerful. You can even discuss business with the farm manager. The business must be huge, right?”

Deng Shirong said: "I just do some small business to support my family. Xiao Qin, where are you from? Have you found anyone to talk to?"

Xiao Qin said: "I am from the Fushan Brigade of Dongping Commune, and I have no partner yet!"

Deng Shirong said: "I see that you are good-looking and you are a regular employee of the farm. It is very easy to find a partner with such conditions. Why haven't you found one yet? It's because your vision is too high, and ordinary girls can't see it. ?”

Xiao Qin said: "No, I just haven't found the right one, so I'm not in a hurry to look for it."

Deng Shirong said: "It is a good thing for young people to marry early, so that their parents can help take care of the children when they are born. If they wait until their parents are older to marry, then they will have to take care of the children themselves after they are born, which will be very troublesome. ”

Xiao Qin said: "Uncle Deng is right. If I meet the right person, I will get married as soon as possible."

Deng Shirong did not continue to talk about this issue. Since he met the farm employees, he wanted to inquire about the pineapples. So he asked: "Xiao Qin, I heard that your farm has planted hundreds of acres of pineapples, right?"

Xiao Qin nodded and said: "Yes, our farm does grow hundreds of acres of pineapples. Uncle Deng, did you come to our farm to do the pineapple business?"

Deng Shirong hummed and said, "I do have this idea. The pineapples on your farm are purchased directly from the supply and marketing cooperative, right?"

Xiao Qin said: "Yes, the goods on our farm are basically purchased by the supply and marketing cooperative."

Deng Shirong asked: "Xiao Qin, do you know what the purchase price of pineapples from the supply and marketing cooperative is?"

Xiao Qin said: "I know, the purchase price of the supply and marketing cooperative is 9 cents/jin." This is all public information, so Xiao Qin said it without any pressure.

Deng Shirong knew it in his mind when he heard this. In fact, the price was similar to what he had guessed.

The two of them chatted all the way for about ten minutes before finally arriving at Dongping Farm.

After getting off the bus, Xiao Qin said without Deng Shirong taking the initiative: "Uncle Deng, let me take you to our field director!"

Deng Shirong was not polite and said: "Okay, then I'll trouble you."

Xiao Qin smiled and said, "What's the trouble?"

With that said, Xiao Qin parked his bicycle and took Deng Shirong to the farm director's office.

Xiao Qin said to a middle-aged man: "Director, this is Uncle Deng. He is here to discuss the pineapple business with you."

When chatting with Xiao Qin before, Deng Shirong already knew the name of the director in front of him, so he took the initiative to say hello: "Director Feng, hello!"

Field Manager Feng stood up, shook hands with Deng Shirong, and said hello: "Hello, Boss Deng!"

Seeing that the two sides had communicated, Xiao Qin said: "Director, Uncle Deng, you talk, I will leave first!"

Deng Shirong thanked him, and after he left, he said straight to the point: "Director Feng, I heard that you grow a lot of pineapples on your farm, and I also plan to do this business, so I want to come to your farm to buy some goods. ”

Field Manager Feng asked: "Boss Deng, how much do you plan to purchase?"

Deng Shirong did not answer and asked instead: "Director Feng, I would like to ask, how much pineapples does your farm produce in summer?"

Pineapple is a fruit that can be eaten all year round, but among the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, summer pineapple should have the highest yield and the best taste, so Deng Shirong directly asked about the summer yield.

Director Feng knew everything about the farm and blurted out: "In summer, the output of ground pineapples is about 1,200 tons!"

Deng Shirong silently calculated in his mind before saying: "Director Feng, I know that the purchase price of your farm from the supply and marketing cooperative is 9 cents/catty. I plan to use the price of 1 cent/catty to buy all the pineapples from your farm next summer. "

Although what he and Zhou Shengli discussed was to first transport 30 tons of ground pineapples next year to test the water, but with the system space, he didn't have to do it mechanically. He just rounded up the 1,200 tons of ground pineapples and threw them into the space to slowly sell them. That’s it.

There are many benefits to doing this. Once the sales are booming in the capital, you can replenish the stock at any time without having to go back and forth. Anyway, the shelf life of pineapples here is long enough. Even if they appear in large quantities in the capital market, you don’t have to worry about anyone checking. This is different from longan.

Moreover, if he remembered correctly, prices seemed to have risen in 1985, and he purchased a large amount of goods in 1984, which could be regarded as saving more costs.

In short, if there is system space, it is definitely right to purchase more.

Director Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this. Don't underestimate this mere 1 cent. When the quantity reaches 1,200 tons, the difference will be as high as 24,000 yuan. This is definitely not a small amount. He immediately made a decision: "Boss Deng, if If you give us this purchase price, we can sign a contract at any time.”

Deng Shirong also had a cheerful temper and said: "Director Feng, it's better to choose a date than to hit it. You can have someone prepare the contract!"

This was a good thing for the farm. Director Feng did not hesitate and asked someone to prepare the contract. After some discussion, Deng Shirong paid a deposit of 3,000 yuan in advance.

After the two parties signed the contract, Director Feng, who had generated at least more than 20,000 yuan in income for the farm, was very happy and said enthusiastically: "Boss Deng, I have asked people to prepare meals. Let's go have lunch together. I'll treat Boss Deng a lot in the future." Take care of our farm business.”

It's no wonder that Director Feng is so enthusiastic. After all, this was the early 1980s. It was the first time he had seen a self-employed business being as big as Deng Shirong's. If he had the opportunity, he would naturally want to make friends with such a capable person.

Deng Shirong also wants to get closer to the farm director. It is estimated that the two parties will still cooperate in the next few years. If the relationship is in place, it will be beneficial to him without any harm.

Therefore, with both parties intending to make friends, this lunch was a great time for both host and guest.

After the meal, Deng Shirong said goodbye: "Director Feng, I will leave now. See you next year."

Field Manager Feng said: "Boss Deng, please wait a moment, I will send the driver from the farm to drive you back."

The five autonomous regions have established agricultural reclamation farms, all of which are very large in scale and can accommodate various types of vehicles, including cars.

Deng Shirong said politely: "Director Feng, isn't this too much trouble?"

Director Feng smiled and said, "What's the trouble? You are now also a big customer of our farm. It's right to ask the driver to take you back."

After hearing this, Deng Shirong stopped refusing and said with a smile: "Thank you then!"

"You're welcome, then we'll see you next year."

"Well, see you next year."
