Chapter 268: The whole family escapes poverty, passenger transport company [6000 words]

As all the watermelons in Longjing Village were sold out, except for Deng Shirong who specially kept more than a hundred watermelons, all the watermelons of the rest of the Deng family in Naye were sold out.

The harvest was quite huge.

There are about 650 households in Naye Dengshi, and they sold more than 11,500 tons of watermelon in total. The purchase price of each kilogram of watermelon was 8 cents. The total income was nearly 1.9 million yuan, and the average income of each household reached more than 2,800 yuan.

The profit is about 2500.

With this wave of harvest, the entire Naye Deng family was lifted out of poverty.

Even for the most needy families, with such a large income, things will not be that difficult.

From this perspective, it seems that getting out of poverty is not difficult, all you have to do is grow some watermelons.

This is indeed the case. In the early 1980s, as long as you dared to do it, whether it was growing fruits or engaging in breeding, as long as everything went well, you could quickly get out of poverty. Then why are there still most people in this era who are poor, and only a small number of people have escaped poverty and become rich?

In fact, the reason is very simple. Not everyone in the rural area has the courage to do these things.

Take the Naye Deng family as an example. If it weren't for the fact that Deng Shirong, the clan leader, had such high prestige and gained the trust of all the clan members, then according to normal development, he should have planted watermelons first, and then had a big harvest that year, and in the second year there would be bold villagers who would follow him to plant watermelons.

After the villagers who followed suit made money, more people followed suit and started planting crops in the third year.

In this way, it will take at least five or six years of smooth development before hundreds of households in the tribe will follow suit and plant watermelons. However, by that time, the golden time for making money will have passed, and the risk of planting on a large scale will be greater. The watermelons may not be sold.

Therefore, the Deng family made a lot of money this time, and Deng Shirong, the head of the family, could be said to have made an indispensable contribution.

Without Deng Shirong's strong promotion, even if the news of his making money from growing watermelons last year had spread, not many households would have followed suit to plant them. This can be seen from the fact that few people with other surnames followed suit to plant them.

This is actually easy to understand. Although watermelon planting seems simple, it still requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

First of all, if they want to turn the mountains into an orchard for growing watermelons, the whole family has to work hard for several months.

After the orchard is cultivated, the purchase of watermelon seeds is also a considerable expense. For many families, the investment in purchasing watermelon seeds alone requires spending all their assets, and they may even have to borrow money to buy watermelon seeds.

These two hurdles alone are enough to stop many people from following the trend.

The operation of the Naye Deng family to lift the entire clan out of poverty caused a huge sensation in the entire Bangjie Brigade and several neighboring brigades. People from other families who were originally on the sidelines could no longer bear it, and one by one they picked up their hoes and went up the mountain to open up orchards.

The biggest change brought about by the collective poverty alleviation of the entire clan is that the young men and sisters of the Ye Deng family suddenly became extremely popular.

…

After all the watermelons of the whole clan were sold, Deng Shirong convened a clan meeting at the entrance of the Deng family's ancestral hall in Naye.

Since Deng Shirong had notified everyone in advance, this clan meeting was very important and each household had to send a representative to attend. Therefore, when the appointed time came, every household in the entire Naye Deng family sent a representative to attend the clan meeting.

Seeing that everyone was present, Deng Shirong went on stage to speak.

"Dear brothers and nephews, today's clan meeting will mainly discuss two things."

After Deng Shirong came on stage, he didn't waste time talking and went straight to the point. He raised a finger and said, "The first thing is about financial aid and scholarships. Now that the final exam results are out, if you have children who meet the award criteria, please bring the transcript signed by the head teacher to register with Teacher Changhua. Once the college entrance examination results are out, we will hold a unified financial aid and scholarship ceremony."

Although every household has made a lot of money from selling watermelons this year and all the tribesmen have escaped poverty, the tribesmen still attach great importance to the grants and scholarships given by the tribe, because they represent honor, and those who can receive rewards from the tribe are the best children in the tribe.

Who wouldn't want to show off in front of the tribe members? Therefore, the tribe members whose children met the reward criteria couldn't help but say yes loudly.

After talking about financial aid and scholarships, Deng Shirong raised his second finger and said, "The second thing is that I plan to take the lead in establishing a passenger transport company and lead our Naye Deng family on the road to wealth."

As soon as these words were spoken, every one of the tribesmen present were shocked.

Deng Changbao, the richest man in Jimaoling, asked, "Head of the clan, is the passenger transport company you mentioned planning to operate a shuttle bus?"

Deng Shirong nodded and said, "Yes, it is to operate a shuttle bus."

With Deng Shirong's affirmation, the scene instantly became lively.

“This bus should be able to make money, right?”

"Of course you can make money. That Shabei bus passes by our village every day. I've seen it full of passengers many times. You can definitely make a lot of money running like this every day."

"It's not certain. I heard there are a lot of hooligans out there now. They don't pay for their rides. If you run into these people often while doing business, it's hard to say whether you can make money."

"That's true. There are indeed more and more stragglers in the past two years. I heard that someone was robbed at the Tanlian intersection not long ago."

"Indeed, I don't know what's going on in the past two years, but it feels like things are getting more and more chaotic."

“…”

Deng Shirong and his clansmen discussed for a while before saying, "With the development of society, more and more people will travel far away in the future, and the shuttle bus business will definitely become more and more prosperous. I can make a conclusion about this, but the competition in this industry is too fierce, and not just anyone can make this much money.

Take the Shabei bus as an example. If someone else also builds a bus and also takes this route, then the two sides will be in competition. There will inevitably be conflicts over the passengers. In order to monopolize this route, whoever has the ability will definitely try their best to drive the other party away.

Therefore, if an individual wants to operate a shuttle bus, it will be difficult to survive in the fierce competition unless he has a force that others dare not provoke easily.

However, if our Naye Deng family were to operate the shuttle bus, we wouldn't have to worry about these problems. No matter how powerful an individual is, he can never compare with our more than 3,000 clansmen. If anyone dares to conflict with us, all of us in the clan can drown the other party with just a spit from them.

If you don’t have to worry about others doing bad things, making money will be a very simple thing.

Moreover, if the clan sets up a passenger transport company, it will start with at least ten buses, and the number will continue to increase in the future.

If the development goes smoothly, it will be normal to have hundreds of shuttle buses in the future. If there are drivers and people selling tickets on the buses, it will probably take hundreds of people. These positions can be absorbed within the tribe. Even if the shuttle buses are not profitable, it will be worth it to bring so many jobs to the tribe.

Besides, how can passenger transport not make money? "

After hearing these words, Deng Shian, the old clan leader, was so excited that he slapped his thigh and said, "Old Nine, after hearing what you said, we must start this passenger transport company. If it develops well, it will be much better than growing watermelons."

Deng Changxiong, the richest man in Bangba, said, "Head of the clan, you decide how to do it. We will listen to you."

Deng Yunqiang also immediately expressed his support, saying, "Yes, Uncle Jiu, please come up with a set of rules and we will listen to you."

Upon hearing this, other tribesmen also expressed their support. After Deng Shirong became the tribe leader, his prestige in the tribe had reached its peak. Now that the tribe has a bumper harvest of watermelons, Deng Shirong's prestige has been further enhanced. Even the old tribe leader Deng Shi'an cannot compare with him.

Seeing that most of the clan members expressed their support, Deng Shirong told them his plan: "This is what I think. The passenger transport company established by the clan will adopt the shareholding system. The current price is 1,000 yuan per share. Everyone is free to decide how many shares they want to buy. When the company makes money, dividends will be distributed according to the proportion of investment.

There is no need to rush to make a decision now. Go back and discuss it with your family. Anyway, I suggest that every household buy at least one share. This way, when the company makes money, everyone will get a share except your family. That would be detrimental to unity.

As for those who want to invest more, I also suggest that you do it within your means.

Also, if you can, contact the clansmen who are working outside and tell them about this. We all have the same ancestors, so we cannot leave them behind when there is a chance to make a fortune. Anyway, everyone has been notified, so let them decide for themselves whether to invest.

Let's go back and discuss it first, and when the clan holds the scholarship ceremony, we can finalize this matter."

"Okay, clan leader."

"I understand, Jiugong."

"I will be responsible for notifying my uncle Man's family."

“…”

Although many tribesmen present were eager to invest immediately and settle the matter early, the tribe leaders said that this matter would be finalized when the tribe held a scholarship ceremony, so they could only wait patiently for that day to come.

The serious business was over and the clan meeting came to an end.

The tribesmen from each village began to go home together, and they were discussing this matter with each other along the way. 1,000 yuan per share is not a small amount. If it weren't for the hot sales of watermelons this year, the tribesmen would probably not be able to invest so much money.

Because the investment is relatively large, most of the tribesmen are confused as to whether it is better to invest only one share or to put all their assets into it.

…

Naye Village.

After Deng Yunqiang returned home, he immediately called the whole family together to discuss the establishment of a passenger transport company for the clan.

After repeating Uncle Jiu's words, Deng Yunqiang picked up the pipe beside him and said, "This is the specific situation. Please help me think about how much shares of this passenger transport company we should invest in."

Deng Changfu immediately said, "Dad, since Jiugong took the lead in establishing this passenger transport company, it must be able to make a lot of money. Our family can't miss this opportunity. We should invest all the money we can afford into it."

Changfu's mother continued, "This year, our family earned more than 6,000 yuan from selling lychees and watermelons. I was originally planning to use this money to build a new house. But since you, Jiugong, are taking the lead in setting up a passenger transport company, we won't build our house for the time being. That way, we can invest in six shares."

Deng Changjuan nodded and said, "Although the house is a little old, it is still suitable for living for the time being. There is no rush to build a house. Let's get more money and invest it in this passenger transport company. With Jiugong's vision and ability to make money, this passenger transport company will definitely make a lot of money. By then, my family will probably become rich just by the dividends."

Deng Changli also nodded repeatedly and said, "Jiu Gong is the most profitable person in our Deng family. He contracted a tile factory, planted lychees and watermelons, and opened a restaurant in the county. No matter what he does, he can make money. Now he is leading this passenger transport company, which will definitely make a lot of money. I also think we should invest more money in it."

While smoking a cigarette, Deng Yunqiang listened to his wife and children's opinions. He was not surprised at all when he saw that they all agreed to invest more. After all, their family had achieved what they have today by following Uncle Jiu's work. Needless to say, the family had confidence in Uncle Jiu.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law had not expressed her opinion, Deng Yunqiang asked, "Aying, what do you think?"

Guan Yongying pondered and said, "Dad, I was just thinking, should I go back to my mother's house to borrow some money, and then invest in a few more shares."

Deng Yunqiang was stunned when he heard this. They already had enough confidence in Uncle Jiu, but they didn't expect that their daughter-in-law was even more confident and even wanted to go back to her parents' home to borrow money to invest. He thought about it and said, "Aying, there is no need to go back to her parents' home to borrow money to invest, but you can go back and talk to your parents about this. If they are interested, they can also invest two or three shares in it and put it in our family's name.

If the company makes money, we can distribute dividends to your parents in proportion to their investment."

Changfu's mother also said, "Yes, Aying, we can't lend this money, but if your parents have confidence, they can invest in it and make money together."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Guan Yongying smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom and Dad. I will go back to my parents' home tomorrow and discuss this matter with my parents."

Her family is living a better life now, because her parents were among the first group to follow Jiugong in growing lychees, and they have earned more than 2,000 yuan in two years. In addition, they also earned more than 3,000 yuan from growing watermelons this year. It is not difficult for them to come up with 4,000 yuan in cash.

Now her husband's family has decided to invest six shares. If her parents' family also invests four shares, the total will be ten shares. This share will definitely rank high in the clan.

…

Deng Yungui’s home is not far away.

After returning from the clan meeting, Deng Yungui discussed this matter with his family.

In Naye Village, the richest man in the village is undoubtedly Deng Shirong, and there is no doubt that Deng Yungui ranks second on the village rich list.

The tile factory that Deng Yungui opened with his uncle Jiu was making money every month. In addition, his family also planted watermelons this year, which also brought in a large amount of income. Excluding the money he spent on building a new house and miscellaneous expenses, he still had more than 18,000 yuan in cash.

Deng Yungui already had an idea in his mind. After discussing it with his children, he decided to invest all the family's cash in 18 shares. After all, there was no need to spend a lot of money at home.

Moreover, the tile factory has income every month, so keeping three or two hundred yuan is enough for me.

…

Jimaoling Village.

After returning home, Deng Changbao also told his wife about the bus company.

After repeating Jiu Gong's words, Deng Changbao asked, "Wife, how many shares do you think we should invest in?"

Deng Changbao’s wife’s surname was Li. Since she was the third among her sisters in her natal family, she was also called Ah Li San.

Ah Li San did not rush to answer, but asked first: "Husband, do you think this passenger transport company can make money?"

"As the saying goes, different trades are like different mountains. I know whether running a brick factory can make money, but I don't know whether running a shuttle bus can make money."

Deng Changbao shook his head first, then changed the subject and said, "However, this is the method that Jiu Gong came up with after he became the clan leader to lead the entire clan to prosperity. I believe that with Jiu Gong's brain, if he didn't have a certain degree of certainty, he would not have proposed to open a passenger transport company.

After all, the investment in this passenger transport company is so high. If it loses money, it will have a great impact on Jiu Gong's prestige in the clan. So I am 80% sure that this passenger transport company can make money."

These well-reasoned words made his wife nod her head frequently.

After he finished speaking, Ah Li San said, "What you said makes sense. If Jiu Gong wasn't sure, he wouldn't have taken the lead in setting up this passenger transport company. Since you think it should be profitable, let's invest all our spare money in it!"

Deng Changbao nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it this way."

…

When a group of clan members went back to discuss with their families about investing in the passenger transport company, Deng Shirong, who had returned home, was also thinking about how many shares he should invest.

Others cannot see the prospects of this passenger transport company, but Deng Shirong, who has experienced the future, has a clear idea of ​​it.

In a few years, the wave of migrant workers going to Guangdong will sweep across the entire Bobai County. The passenger transport company he led is planning to specialize in long-distance trips to Guangdong. This is a huge cake. As long as he can bite off one piece of it, he can make a fortune.

Therefore, the more money you invest at the beginning of a company's establishment, the more profits you will naturally generate in the later stages.

Now he had nearly 400,000 yuan in cash. Even if he had to set aside 30,000 or 40,000 yuan to settle the longan payment from Baiping Farm, the cash he could use would be more than 360,000 yuan. Was he thinking about whether to put it all in? After thinking for less than three minutes, Deng Shirong decided to put it all in.

Firstly, the profits of this passenger transport company are indeed considerable. The more you invest now, the more you will earn in the future.

Secondly, he also wanted to set an example for his fellow tribesmen, let them know how optimistic he was about the future of this passenger transport company, and enhance their confidence.

After thinking it through, Deng Shirong stopped worrying about it.

According to the date, his second son should be back soon. His next task is to entertain his second son's classmates well. They are all the best Peking University students of this era. As long as they choose to go into politics, even if they just follow the routine, they will at least be department-level cadres in the future.

Normally they are all at the department level.

As for how high it can go, that depends on whether they have the luck to do so.

No matter what, there is no doubt that these people are the best of the best.

…

Nanning Railway Station.

Tang Mingjie followed the group out of the station. His current mental state can be described by a Chinese idiom: an eggplant hit by frost - wilted! All the Peking University students present had experience of taking a train. Although the train ride was a bit long for students from other provinces, they could easily accept it.

Only Tang Mingjie was taking a train for the first time, and it was a very intensive experience. This was really a bit difficult for Tang Mingjie, who had never suffered any hardship before.

Deng Yunheng saw that he looked haggard, and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Jie, are you okay?"

Tang Mingjie waved his hand and said, "It's okay. It's just that it's the first time I've been on a train for such a long time. I'm a little uncomfortable." The three female classmates were fine. As a grown man, he couldn't show it even if he was uncomfortable! Deng Yunheng said, "We can't help it. Guangxi is too far away from Beijing, and the train is not fast. Anyone who stays on the train for several days and nights can't stand it. Let's find a place to eat first, and then go to the guesthouse to have a good sleep.

After we have rested well, we will set off again tomorrow."

The students naturally had no objection to this. After sitting on the train for such a long time, it would be too uncomfortable if they didn’t stay to rest for a night and then took the train again today.

On the way to dinner, Liu Xiaoman looked around and said, "It seems that the capital of Nanning is not much better than our Guilin!"

Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "This is normal. Nanning has only been the capital of Guangxi for a few years, while Guilin has a history of more than 2,200 years. As early as the Qin Dynasty, it became an important town "connected to the sea in the south and the Central Plains in the north." From the establishment of the Guangxi Xingzhongshu Province in the Yuan Dynasty to the Republic of China, Guilin has been the political and economic center of Guangxi for more than 500 years. This foundation is not comparable to Nanning."

Liu Xiaoman sighed: "It's a pity that this political and economic center could not continue."

Deng Yunheng said: "This is already very good. In Yulin, besides the large number of people, the only thing we have is the large number of people."

Chu Zhenyu continued, "My elders have been to Guilin. I heard that the scenery in Guilin is very beautiful. When the train passed through Guilin before, I also saw the tip of the iceberg of Guilin's scenery. Those hills are indeed unique."

Deng Yunheng nodded and said, "My dad sent me to school before. When we passed Guilin, he told me that the landscape in Guilin is unique in the world. When I have the chance in the future, I must go to Guilin to have a good time."

Liu Xiaoman smiled and said, "President, if you are not afraid of trouble, then after you have been to your house for a while, you can also come to our Guilin to play. I will take care of your food and accommodation."

If he was just a fellow villager from Guangxi, Deng Yunheng might have agreed.

After all, when they return to school, they have to pass through Guilin by train, so it won’t waste too much time if they play along the way.

But this time his five roommates were also there, and the two sides had just met on this ride and were not that familiar with each other. Plus, they hadn't greeted each other in advance, so it was really presumptuous for so many classmates to suddenly visit a female classmate's home.

Therefore, Deng Yunheng shook his head and refused: "Forget it this time, let's go next time when we have made plans!"
