Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

Half past one in the afternoon.

The Deng clan's ancestral hall was dark and filled with human heads, all of them Deng clan members who came to attend the clan meeting.

The clan meeting started, and the first thing to do was naturally the student aid award.

The list has been registered in advance by people who are specifically responsible for this. After Deng Shirong, the leader of the clan, gave a routine speech, he and other clan elders distributed bursaries one by one to outstanding students in the clan.

Now that the economic conditions of the tribe are much better than before, they no longer attach as much importance to this scholarship as before. However, the scholarship award is not just a matter of money. If your children can go on stage to receive scholarships, it means that they have good academic performance, which is important to the tribe. It’s a very long-faced thing.

Therefore, parents whose children were able to go up on stage to receive scholarships had smiles on their faces and enjoyed the compliments from other brothers, uncles and nephews next to them.

By the time the scholarship awards were distributed, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

Next, it was time to discuss important matters, and all the clan members looked at the clan leader.

Deng Shirong sat on the rostrum, looked at the people of the tribe below, and said: "Let me tell you something first. I think everyone already knows the operation situation of the passenger transport company. I won't say more here. After this Spring Festival travel, when we arrive, Then we can discuss the matter of dividends.”

"Very good!"

“The company can finally pay dividends!”

"Last year, there were only ten cars, and they earned more than 400,000 yuan during the Spring Festival. This year, there are twenty-five cars. If everything goes well, the Spring Festival will probably earn millions. If this is used as a dividend, basically every family can share it. Thousands of dollars!”

"..."

When the clan leader said that the company was paying dividends, the clan members became excited. The money invested finally began to pay off.

After the tribesmen digested this information, Deng Shirong spoke again: "We will discuss the company's dividends after the Spring Festival is over. Next, I want to discuss a very important matter with you. Some time ago, the locals in the county built a car. Guangzhou Auto wants to compete with our company. I think everyone already knows about it, right?”

"We all know this!"

"Those three brothers are really blind. They dare to provoke our company."

"Speaking of this matter, the clan leader is still very powerful. He has such strong connections in the county. He scared the three brothers to the point where they changed Guangzhou to Maoming the next day!"

"..."

In the previous Guangzhou car incident, dozens of young people from the clan were temporarily transferred to the county seat. The news naturally spread among the clan long ago. Everyone knew what happened, and even the whole story was clear.

After the tribesmen finished speaking, Deng Shirong continued: "The situation that happened before will definitely happen again in the future, because it is so profitable to engage in passenger transportation. In the future, the passenger flow will be higher year by year, and there will always be There are people who are interested in this industry and come in to grab food, and there will definitely be more and more people like this.

The three brothers involved in the Guangzhou car incident this time were not very powerful in the county, and I still had some respect in the county, so I subdued them so easily.

However, no one knows what the background of future competitors will be and whether they will be powerful in the local area. We cannot just temporarily transfer people from the clan to take charge when we encounter problems like last time. We must learn from leaders. Hit him with one punch to avoid a hundred punches coming.”

When we have the opportunity, we should show off our muscles and let others know that we are not easy to mess with. This will reduce a lot of trouble. Those who want to come in and compete with our company will think twice and dare not come to us easily. Starting a war. "

Deng Changxiong answered: "Jiu Gong, what you said makes sense. After the founding of New China, many countries actually did not take us seriously. After the Korean War broke out, even if we repeatedly warned the United States not to cross the line, , but people just think we fart.

It wasn't until the two sides competed and knew that our volunteers were not easy to mess with that those countries began to take us seriously. Therefore, as Jiugong said, it is very necessary to show off our muscles when we have the opportunity. "

Deng Yungui said: "In the previous Guangzhou car incident, our company flexed its muscles, right?"

Deng Changbao said: "It will definitely count, but I don't know if it can suppress other people!"

Deng Yunqiang asked: "Uncle Jiu, since you mentioned this, you must have an idea, right?"

Deng Shirong nodded and said: "The biggest advantage of our passenger transport company is that we have a large number of people. This is a company owned by our entire clan. What we have to do is to make use of this advantage and let the outside world know that our company has a large number of people. Those people will naturally He won’t mess with us.”

Deng Changjue (Di Lei) said loudly: "Jiu Gong, you tell me what you want to do, and we all listen to you."

Deng Shirong said: "My idea is to build a Naye Deng community in the county and make it our second home."

As soon as these words came out, all the clan members looked at each other and didn't quite understand the concept of community.

Although the community, which is well known to everyone in later generations, existed in this era, it has not yet become popular. Even in the county, there are only some family homes, and there is no such thing as a community. And the tribesmen living in the countryside do not understand what a community is.

However, it can still be understood literally that this is building a house in the county.

"Jiu Gong, what is a community?"

"Uncle Jiu, do you mean to let us go to the county to build a house?"

"Jiu Gong..."

Deng Shirong also knew that the tribesmen did not know much about the concept of community, so he explained: "To put it simply, this community is similar to our village. For example, we go to the county to acquire 100 acres of land, and then build more than ten buildings. Forming a whole can be called a community.

My plan is to raise funds to build a Naye Deng community in the county, with each household having a house. When the community is built and everyone moves in, we will be no different from the locals in the county. In the future, the passenger transport company will What's going on? Thousands and hundreds of people can be dispatched at any time. Who dares to provoke such a momentum? "

With this community here, it will not only protect the passenger transport company, but also Suifeng Hotel will benefit.

Moreover, in the future, if someone from the clan does business in the county, they will also benefit. If nothing else, at least no one will dare to collect the "protection fee".

"Oh, so this is the community!"

"If we have a house in the county, do we also become city dwellers?"

"This is good. I go to the county to build a house. Who among my relatives and friends wouldn't envy me? But I just don't know how much it will cost to build this house?"

"Jiu Gong, I absolutely support raising funds to build houses in the county, but I don't have much money now. It's okay to use it to build a house in the countryside, but I'm afraid it won't be enough to build a house in the county!"

"Jiu Gong, can you tell me how much it will cost to build the county town?"

"Jiu Gong..."

All the clan members spoke out one after another. They all agreed from the bottom of their hearts to building houses in the county. After all, having a house in the county was a very honorable thing, not to mention that it would be helpful to the passenger transport company, so they had absolutely no objections. of.

The only thing I worry about is not enough money.

Seeing that the clan members were all worried about money, Deng Shirong comforted him: "Don't worry about money. It only costs money to buy land and building materials. Then we will build it ourselves. Each family can contribute 5,000 yuan, and that's pretty much it." ”

Now there are about 660 households in the whole Naye Deng family. If one household pays 5,000 yuan, it will have 3.3 million yuan. If they buy land and build a building without having to pay for labor, it should not be much different even if it is not enough. Anyway, the community is not It can be built in no time, and if it is not enough, we will have to raise funds later.

5,000 yuan is naturally an astronomical sum for villagers in other villages, and it is impossible to get it. However, Naye Deng has dividends from Tenglong Passenger Transport Company, plus he has saved a lot of money from growing watermelons this year. If it is not enough, By borrowing some from relatives and friends, most families can scrape together the money.

Even if a few families can't come up with it, there's still time. When the watermelons are harvested again next year, basically every household will be able to come up with this money.

Hearing this, Deng Changbao said proudly: "Jiu Gong, if fire bricks (red bricks) are used, my brick factory can fully support it and just charge the cost price."

Deng Shi'an, the leader of the clan, answered excitedly: "The fire bricks are supported by Boss Changbao. We have no shortage of sand, stone and wood here. We just need to send people to get them, and then pay the freight to transport them to Bobai. That's it. Only steel and cement really cost money, so you should be able to save a lot of money.”

"If we do it this way, 5,000 yuan per household is more than enough!"

Having said this, Deng Shirong glanced at the many tribesmen below and asked: "Does anyone have any different opinions about raising funds to build a community in the county? If so, please raise it now. If you don't have any opinions, then this That’s it.”

"Jiu Gong, I would like to ask, when will the money be paid?"

"When the Spring Festival Transport is over and the passenger transport company distributes dividends, it won't be too late for everyone to pay. If you don't have enough money then, you can pay part of it first and make up for the rest later."

"Jiu Gong, this family has a house. I would like to ask what this house is like?"

"A house is tentatively estimated to be about 160 square meters, with four rooms, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, and two bathrooms."

"Uncle Jiu, I have a large family, can I pay more and get an extra house?"

"Of course. My request is that no one should be left behind in the Naye Deng clan. Every household must have a house. If anyone wants more houses, that's fine. Anyway, you can pay as much as you want."

"Jiu Gong..."

Building a house in a rural area is a big deal, let alone building a house in a county town. People from all ethnic groups asked their questions one after another, and Deng Shirong also answered them one by one.

After more than ten minutes, all the tribesmen who needed to ask questions had already been asked. Seeing that no one had any questions, Deng Shirong decided: "Then this matter is settled. We will set up a real estate company to deal with this matter later."

After discussing this, Deng Shirong thought of the pests and diseases of rice next year, and he guided him: "There is one more thing I want to tell you. After the New Year, everyone must work hard to prepare wood, sand and gravel, etc. If you want to go to the county town to participate in the construction of a community, you may not be able to take care of your family's fields.

Therefore, next year I suggest that you don’t plant rice anymore, just plant some sweet potatoes or something like that in the fields. That way there won’t be so many things to do. First, focus on building up the community in the county. Then we, the Ye Deng family, will It’s going to be famous throughout the county! "

"Okay, listen to Mr. Jiu, just plant some sweet potatoes in the fields next year and concentrate on big things first."

"No problem. If the community in this county is built, no one from all over the country will envy us!"

"There is a 160-square-meter house in the county seat. I am so excited just thinking about it. We will start work immediately after the Chinese New Year and strive to build the community as quickly as possible."

"Mr. Jiu, come and arrange the work for everyone!"

"..."

Seeing that the clan members had listened to his words, Deng Shirong smiled with satisfaction and said: "After the New Year, I will talk to the captains of each village (although the production team has been disbanded this year, it is still okay to call them this way, just like when I was studying) (Like the squad leader)) hold a small meeting and assign tasks to each village. The sand washing, stone cutting, and the wood and templates used for support must also be made by specialized people. At that time, each village will need The prime minister (construction engineer) led a team to the county town to build houses. In addition, some women were dispatched to the county town to help with laundry and cooking.

In short, our whole family must mobilize, and the main goal next year is to build this Naye Deng community. "

When the tribesmen heard this, they naturally applauded one after another, and they were all gearing up and eager to get started immediately.

The clan meeting has basically ended here.

Next, Deng Shirong answered some questions from the clan members. Seeing that everything that needed to be said had been said, he announced: "The clan meeting will be held here today. We will go back and discuss with our families how many suites we need. I will seize the time to deal with all kinds of things, and after the New Year, I will be busy with the Naye Deng Community in the county. "

All the questions that need to be asked have been asked clearly. After the meeting, all the clan members stopped staying and went home together.

On the way home, everyone was talking about this important event.

The whole clan came together to build a community in the county. This kind of thing has never happened, let alone in this era, even in later generations. This is definitely a big event that shocked the whole county.

After returning home, each family closed their doors to discuss the matter.

…

Bangba Village.

As soon as Deng Changxiong and his family returned home, Li Xiaolan, who had endured the whole journey, couldn't help but ask: "Old Xiong, do you think our family should buy more houses?"

Deng Changxiong sat down, took the chimney next to him, nodded and said: "We must buy a few more houses. Now that the whole clan is working together to build this county community, the cost of the houses has been reduced to the lowest. It's a shame to miss such an opportunity." No more!”

Although he didn't know that the value of houses would continue to appreciate in the next few decades, he started doing business relatively early in this era and his mind was relatively flexible. Naturally, he knew that the cost of houses in this county community led by Jiugong was the lowest, so he should do more If a few houses come out, it will definitely be a good deal.

Li Xiaolan said: "Then we want four sets, right?"

Deng Siji asked: "Dad, Mom, four houses cost 20,000 yuan, can our family afford it?"

Deng Changxiong took out his tobacco matches and said: "If you don't count the dividends from the passenger transport company, then our family really can't afford so much money, but if you include the company's dividends, it should be no problem. We need four houses." It is indeed the most suitable for you four brothers and sisters to have one set each."

Of course, the richest member of the current Naye Deng family is Deng Shirong, the head of the clan. Needless to say, this goes without saying.

The second-ranked person should be Deng Changbao from Jifeoling. The business of his brick factory is getting more and more prosperous. He has really made a lot of money in the past few years. This is why his shares in the passenger transport company can rank second. Two main reasons.

The next person in third place should be Deng Changxiong. He opened a bamboo weaving factory and the business is still very good, with an income of tens of thousands a year.

Four houses cost 20,000 yuan, which is not a lot of pressure for their family.

…

Naye Village.

Deng Yunqiang's family is also discussing this matter.

Deng Changfu asked: "Dad, do you want one or two houses in this community in the county?"

Hearing the questions from his eldest son, Deng Yunqiang felt a little hesitant. He has five children in total, three sons and two daughters. The ideal situation is naturally one son and a house, but with their family's financial resources, they have to live in a house. The pressure on three houses is too much, and it may not even be possible to raise so much money.

Last year, in order to get more shares in the passenger transport company, Deng Yunqiang worked hard to acquire 10 shares in partnership with his in-laws, of which his family held 6 shares and his in-laws held 4 shares.

After emptying out my family, I made a total of more than 5,000 yuan from lychees and watermelons this year, which finally brought me some success.

When the Spring Festival is over and the passenger transport company pays dividends, the six shares will probably give you more than 2,200 yuan, which adds up to less than 7,500 yuan. If you want two apartments, you have to add next year's income from lychees and watermelons to get enough. If you want to get three apartments, then The pressure is really too much.

Deng Yunqiang sighed and said: "The price of this house for the clan is very cost-effective. I would like to buy one for each of you three brothers, but unfortunately I don't have enough money!"

Guan Yongying answered: "Dad, if we want three houses, how much money will we need to save? If the difference is not much, I can go back and borrow it from my parents." This year, her family's lychees and watermelons combined, More than 4,000 yuan was also received, so her parents still had a lot of cash.

Deng Yunqiang said: "Now I have more than 5,000 yuan in hand. If you include the company's dividends, it will be more than 7,400 yuan. If next year's lychees and watermelons can have the same income as this year, I can probably make up about 12,000 yuan."

Guan Yongying said: "That's not much worse. When the company pays dividends, my parents will receive at least 1,500 yuan. Then they will get another 1,500 yuan in cash, which will be enough for three houses."

Changfu's mother, who got along with her eldest daughter-in-law like mother and daughter, said movedly: "Aying, I have to trouble my in-laws every time we encounter difficulties. I'm really sorry."

Guan Yongying said with a smile: "Mom, what's the trouble? My parents' family is today thanks to your blessing, so the matter is settled. I will tell my parents about this when I go back to my parents' house on the second day of the new year. ”

…

Most tribesmen would like to buy one or more houses as long as their financial conditions allow.

After all, no one is stupid. Building such a big house in the countryside will probably cost several thousand yuan, let alone in a county town.

In rural areas of this era, which family doesn’t have a few children? A four-bedroom house is actually not enough for most families except for a few families. Even if they can live in it, don’t even think about having one room for each person. If there are conditions, Naturally, we need to build one or two more houses.

However, I think so, but not every household has the financial conditions of Deng Changxiong or Deng Yunqiang. The greatest ability of many people is to buy a house, and there is nothing they can do no matter how much they have.

There are also some families who know that a house in the county town is definitely worth buying for 5,000 yuan, but their family business is in the countryside and they feel that one house in the county town is enough and there is no need to buy so many houses.

After all, they don’t have jobs in the county, so they can’t just move to the county without doing anything, right?

In short, everyone has their own ideas, and Deng Shirong does not want to interfere with the tribe's choices. Anyway, he only needs to ensure that every household has one apartment in the county. Whether to buy more houses depends on the ability and vision of the tribe.

After Deng Shirong returned home, he also discussed this matter with his sons, daughters-in-law.

At the previous clan meeting, Deng Yuntai and other brothers and sisters were also present. When they heard that their father proposed to build the Naye Deng Community in the county, they were all shocked. At the same time, they were also shocked by their father's generosity.

Moving the entire family to the county seat was something their father only dared to think about and do.

Deng Yuntai was the first to ask: "Dad, how many houses does our family plan to buy?"

Deng Shirong said: "I plan to get a unit of house."

Deng Yuntai wondered: "How many houses are there in one unit?"

Deng Shirong explained: "My plan is to build a seven-story building. Each building is divided into three units. Each unit is not connected to each other and has separate entrances and stairs. Each unit is designed to have four sets on each floor. House, one unit is 28 houses.”

As soon as these words came out, all the sons and daughters-in-law were stunned.

Deng Yunzhen asked with a shocked look on her face: "Dad, why are you buying so many houses?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "In fact, there are not many. When the construction is completed, I will have people design it separately to connect the four houses on each floor into one. In this way, there will only be seven houses. You seven brothers and sisters will have one Just the right set.”

Even Deng Yunheng, who has seen the world, was shocked by his father's generosity. According to what his father said before, a house is 160 square meters. If four houses are connected to form one, it will be 640 square meters. How big a house is this!

Deng Yuntai and Zhang Xiuping were also shocked. You must know that the first floor of Suifeng Hotel is only more than 1,000 square meters, and the first floor of the house they live in now is 640 square meters. It is really too big. They can't imagine what kind of house it is.

Deng Yunzhu asked in surprise: "Dad, even if a house costs 5,000 yuan, 28 houses will still cost 140,000 yuan. Where can our family get so much money?"

Deng Shirong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about money. I borrowed 2 million from a credit union some time ago. I'm not afraid of running out of money."

Hearing this, the eyes of all the sons and daughters-in-law widened.

Deng Shirong had previously borrowed 800,000 from a credit union, which had already made them a little worried, fearing that they would not have enough money to repay the bank.

Now the old debt has not been paid off, and a new debt of 2 million has been added. This operation is really scary.
