Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

Poxin Village.

Zhang Zhen made his fortune.

Siblings Xiao Donger and Dongzi were playing games with their cousins ​​at the door. Deng Yuntai accompanied his father-in-law and brother-in-law to sit by the fire and chat.

In the kitchen, Zhang's mother and her two daughters-in-law were busy making tea and fried rice, while Zhang Xiuping stood beside them and chatted with them.

After chatting about family affairs, Zhang's mother couldn't help but ask: "Xiuping, Ahua came back two years ago and said that you no longer manage Suifeng Hotel, but opened a new permanent store like a department store. "Good supermarket?"

Zhang Xiuping nodded and smiled: "Well, we are now responsible for managing the supermarket."

Sister-in-law Song, who was lighting the fire, asked: "Mei Ping, you and your brother-in-law don't care about the hotel anymore, so who is in charge of the hotel now?"

Zhang Xiuping replied: "My eldest sister-in-law (not my husband's sister, but there are two sisters-in-law, so I use this title to distinguish her) is in charge of the hotel now. She is getting married this year, and this hotel is also a dowry prepared by my father-in-law for her." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang's mother, Zhang's sister-in-law, and Zhang's second sister-in-law were all shocked.

Zhang's mother asked in disbelief: "Xiuping, what's going on? Isn't your father-in-law an old fool? He used the hotel as a dowry for your sister-in-law?"

Hearing what her mother said, Zhang Xiuping became a little unhappy and said dissatisfiedly: "Mom, don't say this nonsense. My father-in-law is not old and stupid. He treats all seven children equally. He gave me a hotel as a gift to my sister-in-law." What’s so strange about dowry?”

To be honest, her father-in-law treated her no worse than her biological parents, or even better, so Zhang Xiuping couldn't bear to hear anyone say anything bad about her father-in-law, even if it was her biological mother who said this.

Zhang's mother naturally saw that her daughter was unhappy, and quickly explained: "Xiuping, Mom has no other meaning. I just think your father-in-law's behavior is too outrageous. It's not like you don't know the customs here. Our fields and houses are There are also properties and so on, which are all inherited by the son.

Your father-in-law has five sons. Suifeng Hotel is such an important property. Instead of keeping it for his sons, he uses it as a dowry for his daughter? "

Sister-in-law Zhang and Sister-in-law Zhang also found it difficult to understand. What they couldn't understand the most was that their sister-in-law didn't seem to object to this matter at all. She actually thought her father-in-law's approach was right. What was going on?

What is going on in my sister-in-law’s mind?

Zhang Xiuping frowned and said, "Mom, I'm a daughter too!"

Zhang's mother said awkwardly: "Xiuping, that's not what Mom meant, it was just..."

Zhang Xiuping interrupted: "Mom, I understand what you mean. My father-in-law didn't favor one over the other. He made arrangements for each of his children. Take us as an example. Didn't my father-in-law give us the supermarket?"

Sister-in-law Zhang couldn't help but interjected and asked: "Pingmei, does the supermarket you are managing now have a restaurant to make money?"

Zhang Xiuping revealed a little bit: "The money earned by supermarkets is more than double that of restaurants."

Zhang's mother and three others were shocked when they heard this.

At this moment, they all understood why Zhang Xiuping reacted this way. It turned out that the supermarket they heard about for the first time was actually more profitable than a restaurant.

Zhang's mother apologized quickly: "Xiuping, I'm sorry, I misunderstood your father-in-law!"

Zhang Xiuping also understood in her heart that her mother said that to fight for her interests, so naturally she would not take her words to heart, but she still warned: "Mom, actually I know you said this for my own good, but no matter what happens in the future, I will I don’t want you to say anything wrong about my father-in-law anymore.

Ever since I married into the Deng family, my father-in-law has been really kind to me. Besides, you don’t know what our family was like before. If it weren’t for my father-in-law’s help, how could you live like this? ah? "

"Mom knows, and I will never say anything again. I was just speaking out of turn. I didn't mean to say anything bad about your father-in-law."

Zhang's mother explained again, and then couldn't help but sigh: "But then again, your father-in-law is really very kind to his daughter. He invested so much money in this Suifeng Hotel, and now he can make a good profit every year." Tens of thousands of dollars were used as a dowry for my daughter. Apart from your father-in-law, I’m afraid there is no other person in the county who can do this. "

Sister-in-law Zhang echoed: "Yes, they say that a married daughter throws away water. Unless she is an only child, no parent can be so generous."

Second Sister-in-law Zhang continued: "Even if she is an only child, parents will not be so generous. At least they will have to wait until they can no longer do it themselves before they choose to hand over such an important property to their daughter and son-in-law. Before they can do it, they will Before you move, chances are you won’t pay.”

Zhang Xiuping smiled when she heard this. What her mother said to her elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law was actually a common phenomenon in their area. People like her father-in-law were indeed rare.

…

By the fire in the living room.

After chatting with his father-in-law and others, Deng Yuntai asked: "Dad, how is the business of your wooden clothespin factory?"

Hearing his son-in-law mention this, Zhang Zhenfa said with a smile on his face: "Last year's business was okay. The foreign trade department directly purchased unlimited quantities. It's a pity that the profit of these wooden clothespins is not high, and our production capacity is still a little small. After one year, I just made more than 40,000 yuan.”

Deng Yuntai almost couldn't help laughing when he heard this. His father-in-law was actually pretending.

You must know that before this wooden clothespin factory opened, the father-in-law and his family opened a small shop on Longtan Street. They were very satisfied with making more than 4,000 yuan a year.

Now I can earn more than 40,000 yuan a year by opening a factory, and my income has increased ten times compared to before. However, my father-in-law just made more than 40,000 yuan with just one sentence...

"Dad, you are already very good at this. I invested more than 300,000 yuan in my hotel, but I couldn't make so much money in the first one or two years!"

"Okay, stop flattering me. The opening of this wooden clothespin factory is all thanks to you and Xiuping."

Zhang Zhenfa still had some idea of ​​how the wooden clothespin factory opened, so he didn't talk much about this topic and asked his son-in-law about running a supermarket instead.

Deng Yuntai also answered all questions. He explained the supermarket's business model in detail to his father-in-law and brother-in-law. They were shocked. They didn't expect that the business could be done in this way, allowing customers to choose whatever they wanted and just check out in one place. , this business model is really new.

After Deng Yuntai had finished explaining the supermarket's business model, Zhang's mother and others also brought out the fried rice noodles and brewed tea, and then called Xiaodong'er and a bunch of other children in, chatting while eating. Homemaking can be said to be a joy.

…

In previous years, Suifeng Restaurant would not open until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so Deng Yuntai and others did not have to rush to the county seat, but this year is different. With the establishment of Yongjia Supermarket, the opening hours will be much earlier, so on the first few days We have to rush to the county seat.

Now that supermarkets are open, restaurants will also open, otherwise it will be inconvenient for Deng Yuntai and his family to eat there.

Therefore, Deng Yunzhen also went up, and there were supermarket employees who went up with them.

There are dozens of people. It is definitely unrealistic to ask them to take the shuttle bus. Even in the off-season, the passing shuttle bus does not have so many seats, let alone during the Spring Festival!

In the end, Bu Zhongshi sent two cars to take Deng Yuntai and others up.

Seeing this situation, Deng Shirong felt that it was necessary for the clan's passenger transportation company to open a route from Naye Village to Bobai.

After all, the whole clan has built a community in the county town. After everyone's houses are renovated, they will definitely live there from time to time. The clan members traveling back and forth can afford one or two shuttle buses, not to mention the various places along the way. Passengers in villages and towns, this route is indeed worth pursuing. It not only facilitates the travel of the tribe, but also makes money. It can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

Once the Naye-Bobai route is opened, it will inevitably affect the shuttle bus on the Shapi-Bobai route.

Because Shuangwang people travel, unless they are in a village relatively close to the Tanlian intersection, most people from other villages will take the Shapi bus. Once Tenglong Passenger Transport Company opens the route from Naye to Bobai, the Shapi bus will no longer be the only choice for Shuangwang people to travel, and it will naturally have a huge impact.

However, this has nothing to do with Deng Shirong.

Seeing that it was getting late, Deng Shirong rode his motorcycle towards the temporary government station of Shuangwang Township. He wanted to talk to the township leaders about the electrification of Bangjie Village.

Shuangwang Township was only independent from Songwang Township in January. It is impossible to build the township government in such a short period of time. Therefore, the leaders of the township government now work in the government's temporary residence.

Deng Shirong drove a motorcycle to the temporary residence of the township government, which immediately caused quite a commotion. The motorcycles of this era were indeed prestigious, and their influence was no less than that of driving a Rolls-Royce to the township government in later generations.

"Uncle Nine!"

"Uncle Nine!"

"Uncle Nine!"

Today, Deng Shirong's reputation is no longer limited to Bangjie Village. In the entire Shuangwang Realm, if there are still people who don't know Uncle Ye Jiu, then they shouldn't come out to hang out.

Therefore, when the local staff of the township government saw Deng Shirong, they all said hello one after another, and they were all extremely polite.

Deng Shirong parked his motorcycle and greeted them one by one with a smile.

"Uncle Jiu, did you come here to do something today?"

"I have something I want to talk to the secretary about. Please inform me."

"Okay, Uncle Jiu, please wait a moment. I'll go and talk to the secretary right away."

…

Two minutes later.

Deng Shirong met senior party officials from Shuangwang Township in his office.

The senior party official in Shuangwang Township is named Lin. He is from Luchuan County next door. He also speaks Hakka. He was originally the township head of Wangmao Township. After Shuangwang Township became independent from Songwang Township, he was transferred to serve as Shuangwang. The top leader of the township has been promoted.

When the two parties met, Secretary Lin said with a smile on his face: "Uncle Jiu, I have admired you for a long time!"

As a leader in a township who wants to make progress, Secretary Lin pays attention to and understands the prominent figures in each village under his rule. As for Deng Shirong, the most famous person in Quan Shuangwang, Secretary Lin has indeed been famous for a long time and knows that he is not only that The highly charismatic leader of the Deng family also owns many industries in the county and is a veritable big boss.

The most important thing is that he also has a son who is studying at Peking University. He has already started working this year. His starting level is already at the same level as him. It will be easy to rise to the top in the future. For such a famous person with such a famous reputation and background, Secretary Lin is naturally extremely popular. Pay attention to.

Deng Shirong said humbly: "The secretary gave me the award, it's just a false reputation."

After a polite exchange between the two parties, Secretary Lin asked, "Uncle Jiu, did you come to see me today for something?"

Deng Shirong said: "Secretary, it's like this. The development of our Naye Deng clan in the past two years is pretty good. The living standards of the clan members have improved. Many people want to buy some home appliances to improve their quality of life.

But our Bangjie village has not had electricity until now, and even if we buy electrical appliances, we can’t use them back home. Therefore, the more than 3,000 members of the Yedeng clan urgently hope that the leaders will pay attention to our Bangjie village so that our village can Get electricity as soon as possible. "

After hearing this, Secretary Lin understood the purpose of the other party's visit. He replied: "Uncle Jiu, we will take this issue you mentioned seriously. However, the power supply station is only administratively under the leadership of our township government, but its personnel, Finance and other matters are directly managed by the County Electric Power Bureau, so we can only make suggestions on other people's plans, but cannot directly make the decision.

However, having said that, the power supply station will generally seriously consider the suggestions put forward by our township government. I will communicate with the power supply station carefully about this matter and strive to provide your Bangjie village with electricity as soon as possible. "

What he said was reasonable and well-founded, and it was not sloppy at all. Deng Shirong was very satisfied and nodded: "Then I'll trouble the secretary!"

"Uncle Jiu is so polite. Let the people of Shuangwang Township live a good life. This is my responsibility as a leader."

At this point, Secretary Lin changed the topic and asked: "Uncle Jiu, I heard that you have a son who is studying at Peking University and has started working this year. I wonder where he works?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "That's my second son. He joined the Planning Commission after graduation."

After all, Secretary Lin is a member of the system, and he also serves as the top leader of the township. He naturally knows all the departments of the country very well. Hearing what Deng Shirong said, he couldn't help but feel shocked.

Although he has long understood that those who graduate from Peking University, a top university, are not ordinary people, and everyone who chooses to enter politics can be said to have a promising future, which is not comparable to that of a grassroots cadre with low academic qualifications like him.

But he never expected that Uncle Naye Jiu’s second son would be able to enter an important department like the Planning Commission as soon as he graduated. He knew that even graduates of Peking University were not eligible to enter such departments if they wanted to. They had to be from Peking University. Only the outstanding graduates among students are qualified to enter such a department.

In other words, Uncle Naye Jiu's second son has a better future than he imagined.

These are long stories, but they are actually just thoughts in a moment.

Secretary Lin sincerely praised: "Uncle Jiu, your second son really has a bright future. It seems that our Shuangwang Township will have another high-ranking official in the future!"

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "Thank you secretary for your kind words."

Next, the two of them were determined to make friends, and the conversation was naturally very congenial.

Half an hour passed, and Deng Shirong saw that it was getting late, so he stood up and left.

After watching Deng Shirong leave, Secretary Lin immediately went to implement the matter of electrification of Bangjie Village. As the top leader of the township, although he was not the direct leader of the power supply station, he still had the weight of his voice to ensure that Bangjie Village was electrified in advance. It's not difficult for him.

…

A week later.

The Bangjie Village Committee received a notice from above to electrify the village.

As soon as the news came out, the entire Naye Deng family was in a state of excitement. Everyone was excited and rushed to tell each other.

"After waiting for so many years, the village is finally getting electricity!"

"It's great. It's too hot to eat or sleep in the summer. I've long wanted to buy an electric fan. Unfortunately, there's no electricity in the village, and I'm not willing to spend extra money to buy batteries for use. That's too expensive.

Now that the village is finally getting electricity, I will be able to use an electric fan this summer, which is really great! "

"Damn it, when the village gets electricity, I'll go buy a TV and come back."

"The clan leader is still awesome. There has been no news of electricity being supplied to the village before. The clan leader went to the township government to talk to the leaders and they will soon provide electricity to our village. The clan leader is really proud of himself."

"That's right, since we have such a powerful clan leader, it is normal for the township leaders to give him face."

"..."

In addition to Naye Deng, Bangjie Village also has villages with the surname Guan and Zhou.

Since the entire Bangjie Village is going to be electrified, the villages with these two surnames are naturally indispensable. The villagers with these two surnames also received the news of the notification from the village committee. They were shocked at first, and then became excited.

To get electricity, you must first set up poles and wires.

Since Bangjie Village is the closest administrative village to Laohutou Reservoir in Shuangwang, the electric wires erected from Laohutou Power Station to Shuangwangwei actually pass through the area of ​​Bangjie Village. This can be said to be close to the water, but in previous lives However, it took until the late 1990s for Bangjie Village to receive electricity. It was simply ignored to the extreme.

In this life, Deng Shirong intervened, and the power supply was at least ten years earlier than in the previous life.

In the following time, under the guidance of the staff of the power supply station, the tribesmen began to plant telephone poles.

Without the help of machinery and relying solely on manpower, planting telephone poles also requires a lot of labor. However, in this era, there is a shortage of everything but labor.

In less than ten days, all the wires in the village were set up. The next step was to pull the wires from house to house. This was not a difficult task. The villagers could do it themselves. Anyway, for them, they only needed to pull the wires. There is no need to install hidden wires or use wire boxes to pack wires like in later generations.

Of course, they just pulled up the wires. When wiring and installing switches, they still had to ask electricians or knowledgeable villagers for help. Not everyone understands this stuff.

The first person to receive electricity was naturally the Deng Shirong family.

Because Deng Shirong's family already has a complete line, he only needs to connect the electricity to it and it can be used.

After getting electricity at home, Deng Shirong made a special trip to the township government to express his gratitude to Secretary Lin.

Being able to get electricity to the village so quickly, Deng Shirong understood that Secretary Lin must have made great efforts, and it was appropriate to express his gratitude.

…

After the village received electricity, the bustling Spring Festival travel season officially ended.

After the Spring Festival travel rush, Deng Shirong had a phone call with the passenger transport company, and then held a clan meeting the next day for the clan members to come and collect the passenger transport company's dividends.

Although the tribesmen have long known that the passenger transport company will distribute dividends to everyone after the Spring Festival travel period, but no one knows the specific day.

Now that the time has finally been officially determined, all the clansmen can't help but feel happy.

"Haha, it's not easy. Finally, the company pays dividends!"

"Before, the whole family raised funds to build a community in the county, and I plundered everything from home. Life has been tight recently, and I am just waiting for the company to pay dividends!"

"Yeah, I don't even dare to buy meat recently. Money is really tight."

"It's not that exaggerated. Didn't you make a lot of money selling watermelons and pigs last year?"

"I made a lot of money, but I bought two houses in the county. All the money I earned from selling watermelons and pigs was handed over to Deng's Real Estate."

"No wonder, it's normal for you to be tight on money if you want two apartments."

"Last year, I received a dividend of 500 yuan per share. I wonder how much I can get per share this year?"

"I don't know. The company was quite profitable last year, but the money earned during the off-season was invested in buying five more buses. So even if this year's dividend is more than last year, it shouldn't be much more."

"As long as the dividend money this year is no less than last year, it will be fine. With this money coming in, the house in my county can be renovated."

"..."

Noon the next day.

After having lunch, the tribesmen gathered at the entrance of Nayedeng's ancestral hall.

Because the news of the passenger transport company's dividends spread yesterday, even the nearby Guan villages such as Jimupo, Bangliang, and Sham Shui Tin heard about it, so many people from the Guan clan who had nothing to do after lunch , also rushed to the scene to watch the excitement.

Among them were the Guan clan members who watched the Deng clan members share dividends last year.

At about one o'clock, the company's general manager Deng Changyu and others came back in the company's bus.

"Oh my god, I'm finally back. I've been so anxious waiting for it!"

"The money won't go away, so it's as much as you need. What's there to be anxious about?"

"I know the money won't escape, but don't I want to get the money earlier!"

"..."

Amid everyone's discussion, the millions of cash brought back by Deng Changyu and others were piled on the table at the entrance of the ancestral hall. The amount of cash was much more than last year, and the visual effect was needless to say.

Not to mention the Guan clan members who saw so much cash for the first time, even the clan members who participated in the dividends last year were still a little shocked when they saw so much cash again.

Deng Changyu came to Deng Shirong and said: "Jiu Gong, the total here is 1.578 million, and one share can be divided into 600 yuan on average."

Deng Shirong hummed, looked at the clan members who were talking about it below, and said: "Brothers and nephews, today is the second dividend payment since the establishment of our passenger transport company. The first dividend payment last year was 500 yuan per share. This is the second dividend payment this year. , each share is 600 yuan.”

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar!

"It's amazing. If it's 600 yuan per share, then if we invested in it before, we would have already recovered our capital!"

"Not only has the capital been repaid, it has also been earned. When I invested before, one share cost 1,000 yuan. Last year, I got 500 yuan per share. This year, I have already repaid my capital at 500 yuan per share. If I had invested 1,000 yuan per share, 600 yuan, that’s a profit of 100 yuan.”

"Damn, I regret it so much. Why didn't I invest in two more shares?"

"You are not the only one who regrets it. Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world."

"I don't regret it, because in order to buy two more shares, I invested all the money I could use!"

"Oh, I was just unlucky. I spent more than two thousand yuan to build a house. If I hadn't built this house at that time and bought two more shares, I would have made a lot of money. Now I can't wait to demolish that house. !”

"..."

Among the crowd, Deng Changqi, a gambler, was still frightened.

Since the leader of the clan issued a ban on gambling for the whole clan, when he was addicted to gambling in the early stage, he almost gambled regardless of it several times. However, in the end, because the risk was too great and he could not afford to lose the shares of the passenger transport company, he decided to He barely controlled himself.

Now, he has finally survived, and his shares in the passenger transport company have been saved. It is the harvest season. It is not easy!

Next to Deng Changqi is his wife Ajuba.

At this time, when she heard that this year's passenger transport company's dividend was 600 yuan per share, Ajuba was excited, but also looked at her husband and warned in a low voice: "If you dare to participate in gambling again in the future, our family will lose the passenger transport." I will chop you up with a knife if you own the company’s shares, or in the worst case, we will die together!”

Deng Changqi looked at his wife's firm eyes and felt a little scared in his heart. He cursed in a low voice: "You're not done yet, are you? I've quit gambling, haven't I?"

Ajuba stared at him for a full three seconds before he said: "I'm going to talk first and then stop messing around. When your head gets hot one day, think about what I said today. Anyway, if you dare to gamble again, , I will definitely fight for your life.”

Deng Changqi: "..."

On the stage, Deng Shirong and other tribesmen's discussion came to an end, and then he continued: "Next, I would like to invite Deng Changyu, the general manager of our passenger transport company, to talk to everyone about the company's development over the past year, and then distribute dividends to everyone. Everyone applauds and welcomes !”

In an instant, thunderous applause erupted from the scene.

Deng Changyu said with a smile: "Dear clan members, the passenger transport company has been developing very smoothly this year. The passenger load rate has exceeded 70% in the off-season. The business can be said to be getting better and better. And this year's Spring Festival travel business is still so hot. The profit after one Spring Festival travel period was as high as 1.2 million yuan.

This year, the company will continue to increase the number of buses, and the company's income will definitely be higher and higher in the future.

Okay, let’s not talk nonsense anymore. Next, we will distribute the dividends to everyone. Anyone whose name is read will come up to receive the money. "

These words made the tribesmen cheer again. Now that the company is booming, this is naturally a good thing for everyone. You can just lie down and share money without doing anything. Who wouldn't be jealous if this kind of good thing is said?

"Deng Changsheng, 2 shares, 1,200 yuan."

"Deng Yunquan, 3 shares, 1,800 yuan."

"Deng Changzhi, 4 shares, 2,400 yuan."

"..."

Each clan member went up to collect the money with a smile on their face. Each clan member was able to get a thick stack of money, which made the Guan clan members who were watching beside them envious.

And the further you go, the more shares your clan members have, and the more money you receive.

"Deng Yungui, 18 shares, 10,800 yuan."

"Deng Changxiong, 22 shares, 13,200 yuan."

"Deng Changbao, 24 shares, 14,400 yuan."

When the handful of people with the largest shares in each village came to power, the money they received exceeded the 10,000 mark.

Since the largest face value now is 10 yuan, more than 10,000 yuan in cash is equivalent to hundreds of thousands of yuan in future generations. The visual effect of holding it in your hand is also full, not to mention that the eyes of the Guan clan are red. , even the Deng clan members were envious when they saw it.

"Jiu Gong, 360 shares, 216,000 yuan."

As Deng Changyu read the last name, the whole audience became excited again.

If other people had received so much dividends, the people of the clan would inevitably be jealous, but the person who took the money was the clan leader. Everyone in the clan was really happy for the clan leader, and almost no one else Will get jealous.

After all, the fact that their Yedeng clan is what it is today is all because of the clan leader leading everyone to do it. As long as they still have some conscience, it is impossible for anyone to be jealous of the clan leader.

As for the Guan clan members who were watching, they were all shocked and speechless.

They received more than 200,000 yuan in cash from a single dividend. The combined income of their entire village is less than a fraction of theirs. The gap between people is really huge!
