Chapter 233 I Want to Stand Out (4000 words)

Third sister’s home.

Deng Shirong lit up a few cigarettes and talked about hotel investment, which shocked the third sister's family.

After the third sister's family accepted the fact that he had invested more than 300,000 yuan to open a restaurant, Deng Shirong put the pipe aside, took out the 40 yuan he had prepared long ago from his pocket, handed it to the third sister and said, "Third sister, the hotel has paid wages this month. Dashi kept 10 yuan for himself, and I will bring the rest back to you."

Deng Shilan took the four big unity notes and was shocked again: "Brother, why do you pay him such a high salary?"

Bu Erzhu, Bu Zhongshi, Bu Xiaoshi and Bu Xiaofang also showed shocked expressions.

Here is forty yuan, and Bu Dashi still has ten yuan left, so the total is fifty yuan.

With free food and accommodation and a monthly salary of fifty yuan, the treatment was so good that it made the whole family go crazy.

After all, Bu Dashi's salary alone is almost as much as his sister and brother-in-law's salary combined.

The salaries of his sister and brother-in-law were rarely matched in the countryside.

From this we can see how valuable Bu Dashi’s salary of 50 yuan is.

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Third sister, this salary is considered normal. Although Dashi has not yet become a real chef in the restaurant, he can help a lot in the kitchen. His salary is naturally much higher than that of the waiters in the restaurant."

Deng Shilan said, "Don't think I don't understand. If he were a real master chef, this salary would be normal. But Dashi is just an assistant now. He can only get such a high salary because you, his uncle, are taking care of him."

Deng Shirong did not deny it when he heard it. He said, "Third sister, Dashi is already 23 years old this year. I have not introduced him to a girl before, mainly because the conditions are not yet ripe. Now I will give him a higher salary, so that when I introduce him to a girl, I will have more confidence."

Deng Shilan was also very concerned about her eldest son's marriage and wanted to ask a matchmaker to help introduce him to a partner two years ago.

But before she could take any action, her brother became the matchmaker.

Therefore, Deng Shilan handed the task of finding a partner for her eldest son over to her younger brother.

In the past two years, seeing that his younger brother had not taken any action, Deng Shilan couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

But now after hearing what her brother said, she understood.

I guess the younger brother wanted to introduce a girl with good conditions to her eldest son, but the eldest son had no job before and was a child from an ordinary rural family. Girls with good conditions would definitely not look down on her eldest son.

But now it is different. Not only does the eldest son have a job in the county, but his younger brother, his uncle, also pays him 50 yuan a month. With such good conditions, he will definitely find a partner if he goes looking for one.

Thinking of this, Deng Shilan said expectantly, "Then you can do whatever you want, brother. It would be best if you can settle Dashi's marriage this year. I have been a grandmother for several years and have long wanted to be a grandmother."

Upon hearing this, Bu Erzhu was also full of expectations. In the eyes of the rural people in Bobai at that time, being a grandfather was naturally not as good as being a grandfather.

"Okay, I'll find a partner for Dashi later and try to get him to bring his wife home to celebrate the New Year this year."

After talking about his eldest nephew, Deng Shirong looked at his second nephew, who was already 20 years old this year, and his youngest nephew, who was 18 years old, and said, "Zhongshi, Xiaoshi, as for the two of you, I can also point out a few paths for you. It's up to you to choose which path you want to take."

Bu Zhongshi's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to say, "Uncle, can you tell me which road it is?"

Bu Xiaoshi was also looking forward to it. His elder sister and elder brother were helping their uncle and making a lot of money every month, but he was an adult now and he might not even have a dime in his pocket. It was impossible for him to say that he didn't want to work and make money.

“The first way is to grow crops at home.”

Deng Shirong raised a finger and said, "In today's environment, no matter what kind of fruit you grow, as long as you manage it carefully, you can make a lot of money in the next few years.

However, more and more people are engaged in planting orchards now. In a few years, it is estimated that every household will have its own orchard. By then, the competition will become increasingly fierce. It is hard to say whether it will be possible to make money in the future.

So, if you want to grow crops at home, you can do it in the next few years, but it depends on the situation in the next few years.”

Bu Zhongshi knew that his uncle's orchard had a good harvest this year. In fact, his family had discussed before whether they should open an orchard to grow lychees and watermelons like his uncle's family. However, there were not many hills in their village, and unlike their uncle's family, they could not get a whole mountain. Instead, they shared a hill with their uncles and aunts.

There is not much fruit on this hill, and it is difficult to manage. If we can't fence off the orchard, when the fruits are ripe, there won't be enough for people to steal.

However, it is quite difficult to enclose the orchard.

My uncle's family planted those hooked thorny plants at the foot of the mountain and enclosed the entire mountain. If their family wanted to enclose the orchard, they would not only have to plant these hooked thorny plants at the foot of the mountain, but they would also have to plant them along the boundary line of their house on the mountain.

This project is not a big one. The key point is that this thing is fine to use to prevent outsiders, but planting it along the dividing line on the mountain means that even your brothers cannot be trusted. And if you do that, these hooked plants will occupy a large area on the mountain, which seems a bit uneconomical.

In short, due to various considerations, their family has no plans to grow fruit for the time being.

Deng Shirong raised his second finger and continued, "The second way is to contract out all the collective mountains and slopes in your village, and then reclaim them to grow sugarcane. This year, the Bobai Sugar Factory with a daily crushing capacity of 1,000 tons is under construction. When the sugar factory is completed, it will definitely need to purchase a large amount of sugarcane.

If you prepare in advance and plant a large amount of sugarcane, you should be able to make a lot of money. As for how long you can make money, I can’t say for sure.”

When these words were spoken, the eyes of the third sister and her family all lit up. This path sounded quite reliable.

Deng Shirong raised his third finger and said, "The third way is to come to my restaurant and help out. The income is stable, but you can only do odd jobs for now. Your monthly salary is only 25 yuan, just like a waiter."

Bu Zhongshi and Bu Xiaoshi were both excited when they heard this. 25 yuan per month was already a lot for them, and that meant working in the county town, which was completely different from working in the village. The two brothers were quite yearning for it.

Deng Shirong raised his fourth finger and said, "The fourth way is to go to the county town to do business. The business environment in the county town is getting better and better. There are so many industries, and you can always find a business that you can do. As long as you run it steadily, you should be able to make money."

After hearing this, the Bu Zhongshi brothers became even more excited. Who wouldn't want to start their own business and be their own boss?

Deng Shirong raised his last finger and said, "This last path is for you to engage in transportation. Whether it is passenger or freight transportation, you can make a lot of money and have the opportunity to become a real rich man. But this path is too risky. It is up to you to decide whether to take this path."

Deng Shirong was really caring towards his nephew and directly gave him five options, each of which was feasible.

However, the four paths mentioned above can only make a little money, and it is difficult to get really rich.

But the last path is different. It is entirely possible to become a billionaire, but the risk is indeed quite high. When talking about this path, Deng Shirong was still quite conflicted. He hoped that his nephews could choose this path to fight for it, but he was also worried that they would choose this path.

First of all, let’s talk about freight. Freight running in this era is completely different from freight running in later generations.

Freight drivers in later generations could only earn money through hard work, but in this era, not only could one earn money from freight, but those with agile minds could also take advantage of the convenience of freight and import some cheap goods from other cities and sell them back, which was another huge source of income.

Moreover, if you get a big job, you can develop a fleet of vehicles. One vehicle can become two, two vehicles can become four, and when you have a fleet of more than one hundred vehicles, you can naturally make a fortune. If you manage it well, it is not difficult to become a billionaire.

Speaking of passenger transport, the current passenger transport is basically state-owned and collective, and individual passenger transport will not appear until one or two years later.

In later generations, due to the impact of high-speed trains, bus passenger transport has been on the decline and is no longer as prosperous as it once was.

But it was only 1982, and domestic bus passenger transport was beginning to flourish. Especially after a wave of migrant workers went to Guangdong to work a few years later, this kind of long-distance passenger transport could make a lot of money.

If you run a passenger transport company, it would be easy to become a billionaire.

However, having said that, whether it is freight or passenger transport, it is a risky business.

This risk comes from many aspects. The first is to face car robbers and road bandits. The security environment in the 1980s and 1990s has been mentioned before and there is no need to repeat it.

Secondly, they had to face competition from their peers. This era was an era of wild growth, and business competition was not as mild as in later generations. It is no exaggeration to say that people engaged in transportation in this era were all daring and hardworking. Without a bit of domineering spirit, it was impossible to survive in this industry.

It is these two reasons that make Deng Shirong feel conflicted. Even though he knows that he can make a lot of money in this line of work, he doesn't want his nephews to choose this path, for fear that if something unexpected happens, he will not be able to explain to his third sister and brother-in-law.

The Bu Zhongshi brothers naturally didn't know what their uncle was thinking. When they heard their uncle say that they could make a lot of money in transportation and become really rich, the two brothers looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.

Bu Zhongshi asked excitedly: "Uncle, the freight you are talking about, is it the kind of truck that carries goods?"

Deng Shirong nodded and said, "Whether it's an airplane, train, ship or truck, as long as it can carry goods, it's considered freight. But the freight I'm talking about is indeed trucks carrying goods. As for passenger transport, the same applies, but I'm referring to shuttle buses."

Bu Xiaoshi asked: "Uncle, do you want us to learn how to drive and become drivers?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "It's not just about learning to drive and becoming a driver. If you really want to go down this path, you have to buy a truck or a bus."

Bu Xiaoshi's eyes widened as he asked, "How much does that cost? Where can our family get so much money to buy a truck and a shuttle bus?"

"Money is not a problem. Just go to a credit union and get a loan."

Deng Shirong said with mixed feelings: "Actually, I don't really want you to go down this path, because it's too risky."

Originally, Deng Shilan was very happy that her younger brother was giving guidance to her two sons. After all, her younger brother was a capable man, and if he gave her two sons some pointers, they would not have to worry about not being able to make money.

So she just listened quietly without interrupting.

The first four paths sounded more reliable. Deng Shilan nodded secretly, feeling that his brother had a very flexible mind and could easily come up with so many ways to make money.

But after hearing the last option, especially after his brother mentioned twice that the risk was too great, Deng Shilan couldn't sit still and asked, "Brother, what exactly is this risk you are talking about? Will you lose all the money you invested?"

Seeing the third sister asking, Deng Shirong did not hide anything and told her the risks of transportation one by one. Finally, he said: "This business does make money. If everyone does business honestly, I will definitely let Zhongshi and Xiaoshi go this way without hesitation.

But if you want to develop this industry, you have to dare to fight and strive hard.

Freight transport is a little better, there are not so many conflicts, you only have to deal with road thieves, but passenger transport is different, when fighting for routes, there will be life and death, and conflicts will often break out when trying to steal passengers. If the other party has more people and more power, you will only be bullied. "

After listening to her brother, Deng Shilan understood everything. She shook her head and said, "Forget it, Zhongshi, Xiaoshi, let's just do other things honestly. This line of work is not suitable for you. If something unexpected happens, what's the point of making more money?"

Bu Erzhu also agreed: "Your mother is right, you should stop thinking about it."

Bu Zhongshi was unwilling to give up after hearing this.

After all, my uncle said that if you take this path, you can make a lot of money and have the opportunity to become a truly rich person.

Although he didn't know how rich the truly rich people his uncle was talking about were, he was sure that it was an amount that he couldn't even imagine.

Besides, there are so many people working in this industry who are not afraid, so what should he be afraid of?

Isn't it just a fight?

Who among the rural children of this era didn't fight from childhood to adulthood? So, even though his parents disagreed, Bu Zhongshi still asked, "Uncle, didn't you say that it's safer to do freight? You only need to deal with car bandits and road thieves. I kind of want to do this. Can you tell me in detail?"

Deng Shilan glared and said, "Zhongshi, kid, why don't you listen to advice? Can't you just do something else honestly? Why do you have to take this risk?"

Bu Zhongshi looked at his mother and explained, "Mom, if I just do other things honestly, I probably won't get rich forever. But I want to make a lot of money and stand out. This freight business that my uncle mentioned may be my only chance. I have to grab it!"
