Chapter 273 Guangxi Tenglong Passenger Transport Co., Ltd. is established [6000 words]
After having dinner with Zhou Shengli and the other two and discussing next year's cooperation, Deng Shirong did not stay in Beijing for long and took a train back to Guangxi the next day.
In this day and age, taking a train is extremely uncomfortable, whether in summer or winter.
In the summer, sweat and other odors are particularly strong. Sitting on the train for days and nights, let alone sleeping well, just smelling these strange smells is enough to make you unbearable. In winter, although the odor is relatively better, the temperature is low in winter, and it is easy to catch a cold when sleeping on the train. If you catch a cold on the train, it will be more uncomfortable than smelling the strange smell.
In short, it was really not easy for people to travel far away in this era. Compared with later generations, there was really a world of difference.
There was nothing worth mentioning along the way. After enduring several days and nights, Deng Shirong returned to Nanning safely.
As usual, Deng Shirong stayed in a guesthouse in Nanning for one night and took the bus back to Bobai the next day.
…
afternoon.
Sui Feng Hotel.
As soon as Deng Shirong reached the door, his eldest granddaughter, Xiao Dong'er, ran out, shouting, "Grandpa!"
Deng Shirong laughed and picked her up, then asked, "Xiao Dong'er, do you miss grandpa?"
Xiao Dong'er nodded her little head and said in a cute voice, "I miss Grandpa!"
Deng Shirong said with a smile on his face: "Grandpa misses you too. Have you been good recently?"
Xiao Dong'er said: "My aunt said I was very well behaved."
As he was speaking, Deng Shirong had already walked into the restaurant carrying his eldest granddaughter.
"dad!"
Zhang Xiuping greeted with a smile. She was more than six months pregnant and her belly was already showing.
Deng Shirong hummed and asked, "How's your appetite lately? Are you feeling well?"
Zhang Xiuping nodded and said, "I'm in good health. I eat small and frequent meals, and my appetite is good."
Deng Shirong advised: "Remember to get more rest, and leave the hotel matters to Yuntai."
Zhang Xiuping responded with a smile.
At this time, Deng Yuntai and Deng Yunzhen also came over to greet their father.
Deng Shirong said a few words to them before putting his eldest granddaughter down and said to her with a smile: "Xiao Dong'er, then you can play by yourself. Grandpa is hungry and needs to go eat!"
Xiao Dong'er responded and then went on playing by herself. The hotel was big enough for her to play. All she had to do was keep an eye on her and not let her run away.
Deng Yunzhen asked, "Dad, what do you want to eat? I'll go talk to Master Zhang."
Deng Shirong said, "Ask Chef Zhang to stir-fry some cucumber skins, add some more chili peppers, and make some boiled pork trotters."
Deng Yunzhen left immediately.
Deng Shirong walked up to old man Zhang Guangzong and greeted him, "Uncle Zhang, how are you doing recently?"
Zhang Guangzong put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "It's okay for now. It looks like if nothing unexpected happens, I can drink with you for a few more years."
Deng Shirong laughed and said, "A few years is not enough. I need to drink for at least 30 years."
Zhang Guangzong laughed and said, "I can't even think about thirty years. If I can drink for ten years without any illness or pain like I am now, I will die without regrets."
While the two were talking, the waitress Zhang Wenjuan had already brought a bowl of white porridge. Having worked as a waitress here for so long, she naturally knew the boss's habits. If the weather was hot, he would always drink a bowl of white porridge before drinking.
If the weather is cold, you must eat half a bowl of rice before drinking.
Anyway, I never drink on an empty stomach.
Therefore, now she doesn't even need to ask, just serving white porridge is definitely the right choice.
Zhang Wenjuan brought the white porridge, and soon Zhang Wenying brought over the boiled pork feet, and within two minutes the cucumber peels were also brought over.
The cucumber peel is crispy, refreshing and spicy, and it is really a great way to go with porridge. Deng Shirong drank a bowl of porridge with the cucumber peel, then poured some wine and chatted with Zhang Guangzong while they drank.
Deng Shirong tasted a piece of boiled pork trotter, which still had the familiar Bobai flavor. He put down his chopsticks and said, "Uncle Zhang, I got a piece of gossip some time ago, and I think I need to tell you about it."
Zhang Guangzong asked: "What gossip?"
Deng Shirong said, "Uncle Zhang, you know what the social situation has been like in the past two years. Something is not right. Some people are too rampant, so the central government has made up its mind to launch a massive nationwide crackdown on criminal activities that seriously endanger social security."
Zhang Guangzong said: "This is a good thing. There are indeed a lot of scum in society now. It can be said that it is very gratifying to clean up these rampant guys."
Deng Shirong said: "This is indeed a great thing for ordinary people like us, but Zhang Shuyi has also experienced that period of time, and he should understand that some things may have good intentions, but if there is a mistake in the execution, or if someone takes chicken feathers as a token of authority, it may turn a good thing into a bad thing."
Hearing this, Zhang Guangzong's face changed instantly. Anyone who had experienced that period would find it difficult to forget the madness of that time.
Deng Shirong changed the subject and said with a smile, "Of course, this kind of thing may not happen, but no matter what, we should take precautions before it happens. Uncle Zhang, please remind those young people in your village who are more popular to keep a low profile in the future and not to run into the gun."
Zhang Guangzong agreed with what he heard. He raised his glass and clinked it with Deng Shirong's. He said, "On behalf of the young people in the village, I would like to thank you for your reminder. When I go back tonight, I will gather the young people in the village to talk about this matter, so that they don't know the seriousness of it. It would be too unfair if they were caught for their high-profile behavior."
Deng Shirong drank a glass of wine with him and stopped discussing the matter.
…
Within a few days, the entire county launched a severe crackdown on criminal activities that seriously endangered social security.
This severe crackdown implemented the central government's policy of "severely and quickly striking resolutely and catching all the perpetrators in one fell swoop". The county public security bureau worked closely with the procuratorate, court, judicial bureau and other units. It took more than three years and was carried out in three major campaigns and 10 battles.
The intensity of this crackdown is unprecedented.
All the social scum who were rampant and unbridled in the past have been arrested by the public security organs, and criminal gangs have been destroyed one after another, which has effectively struck a blow to the arrogance of criminal elements and finally curbed the increasingly rampant criminal activities.
Thanks to Deng Shirong's reminder, some young people in the new village who acted in a high-profile manner but had no bad deeds have been very low-key during this period. They even rarely went out to stroll around Bobai Street, and naturally avoided the fate of being arrested.
Deng Shirong had done this favor.
…
Guangxi Tenglong Passenger Transport Co., Ltd. was established near Bobai Bus Station.
Deng Shirong came over and saw the company sign, and nodded with satisfaction.
"The clan leader!"
"Jiu Gong!"
Seeing Deng Shirong coming in, several people in the company greeted him.
This Tenglong Passenger Transport Company is naturally a newly established passenger transport company of the Naye Deng family. Several managers in the company are elites selected from the clan. The general manager is Deng Changyu from Longjing Village. He is 24 years old this year. He is a recent graduate of Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology and the first person from the Naye Deng family to be admitted to a key university after the resumption of the college entrance examination.
Previously, Deng Shirong thought it was troublesome and was unwilling to serve as the head of the passenger transport company. Then the clan members recommended talented people together, and Deng Changyu, a recent graduate from a key university, was naturally pushed out.
Deng Changyu's father was also present at the time. His son had originally been assigned a job by the state after graduation, and he was unwilling to let his son give up such a stable job. However, Deng Shirong took the initiative and offered the future general manager a high salary of 300 yuan per month. In addition, the pleadings of the elders in the clan finally convinced his father, and then his father came forward to persuade him.
After greeting each other, Deng Changyu began to "report" his work to Deng Shirong with a respectful attitude.
As a graduate of a key university, if Deng Changyu was facing anyone in the clan instead of Deng Shirong, he would not be so respectful due to his proud personality. After all, college students of this era are really awesome.
But in front of Deng Shirong, Deng Changyu would never dare to be arrogant.
In terms of seniority, Deng Shirong is his grandfather.
In terms of ability, Deng Shirong is currently the richest man in Shuangwang. His ability to make money is obvious to all in the clan, and this passenger transport company was also proposed by Deng Shirong.
What's more, Deng Shirong's second son was admitted to Peking University.
Taking all factors into consideration, Deng Changyu can only be an obedient junior in front of Deng Shirong.
After Deng Changyu told him about the recent work of the passenger transport company, Deng Shirong said approvingly: "The company is progressing very quickly. You are doing a good job as the general manager. Next, we will follow what I told you before and buy ten buses first, and open up passenger routes to Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Dongguan, Foshan, Zhuhai, Zhongshan, Huizhou, and Jiangmen.
Among them, the two heavyweight cities of Shenzhen and Guangzhou must ensure that there is a flight every day.
Shenzhen is now a special economic zone, and you need a border pass to enter and exit, so you need to prepare for this in advance."
In this era, Guangdong is the forefront of reform and opening up in the country, so when it comes to passenger transport, there is basically no need to consider other provinces, it is enough to just focus on Guangdong.
But in Bobai now, let alone inter-provincial bus routes, even the bus routes to various prefecture-level cities in the province have not been fully opened!
Therefore, the route from Bobai to various major cities in Guangdong is still a blank market. As the first person to try it, Guangxi Tenglong Passenger Transport Co., Ltd. is destined to take off as long as it does not commit suicide.
Deng Changyu nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, Jiugong, I know what to do!"
Deng Shirong had already explained everything that needed to be explained, so he didn't say anything more. After touring the company, he left.
…
In Bobai County, there are five autonomous region-run farms, namely Maoqing Farm located in Maoshi Brigade of Wendi Commune, Changchun Farm located in Changchun Brigade of Ningtan Commune, Dongping Farm located in Fushan Brigade of Dongping Commune, Wangmao Farm located in Wangmao Brigade of Wangmao Commune, and Baiping Farm located in Tanlian Brigade of Songshan Commune.
The main task of the five major agricultural reclamation farms is to produce rubber.
However, in addition to the main rubber trees, major farms also grow cash crops such as sisal, tea, and fruit.
In addition to these five autonomous region farms, Bobai also has six county-run farms, namely the Bobai County Farm located more than 100 meters away from the intersection of South Street in the county seat, the Longtan Pepper Farm located in Nanpo Brigade of Longtan Commune, the Wendi Pepper Farm located in Pingwang Brigade of Wendi Commune, the Bobai County Horticulture Farm located in Lutian Brigade of Wangmao Commune, the Dongping Seed Breeding Farm located on the east side of Dongping Street, and the Bobai Fruit Seedling Farm near Baige Dang in the northeast corner of the county seat.
Deng Shirong didn't know which of the many farms grew pineapples, but he knew that information must be exchanged between farms. He should be able to find out by asking one of them.
It happened that he was in the county town, so he went directly to Bobai County Farm to inquire about the news.
The result was as he expected. He got the information he wanted without any effort. The only farm currently growing pineapples was Dongping Farm.
After finding out the details, Deng Shirong took a bus to Dongping Farm.
Dongping Commune is 38 kilometers away from the county seat and is located on the Bolong Highway. Every time Deng Shirong goes to Bobai or returns to his hometown, he has to pass through Dongping.
After taking the bus to Dongping Street, if you want to go to Dongping Farm, you can only walk.
At this time, Deng Shirong felt that he had to buy a motorcycle as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too inconvenient to go out.
However, if he wanted to walk to Dongping Farm, he had to ask someone how to get there first. Just then, a young man on a bicycle passed by him, so Deng Shirong waved and said, "Hello, cousin. I want to ask how to get to Dongping Farm."
The young man stopped the car and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I'm going back to the farm now, why don't you get in the car and I'll take you there!"
Deng Shirong didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, and couldn't help but smile: "That's great, it saves me from walking!"
The young man smiled and said, "Uncle, then you get in the car!"
Deng Shirong said: "You step on it first, and I'll jump on it."
Anyone who has ridden a bicycle with other people knows that if you sit down first and then pedal, the combined weight of the two people will make it very difficult to start.
Therefore, in most cases, adults will wait for the cyclist to pedal the bike first, and the cyclist will run a few steps and then jump on the bike and sit down, so that it will not be too strenuous for the cyclist.
The young man smiled and said yes, then started pedaling the bicycle. Deng Shirong ran a few steps and then jumped on the bike and sat down. The whole process was incredibly smooth.
After Deng Shirong jumped on the bike and sat down, the young man asked while pedaling his bike: "Uncle, what's your name? Are you here to look for someone at our farm?"
Deng Shirong said, "My surname is Deng. I'm here to discuss some business with the farm manager. What's your name, young man? From what you said, you are a farm employee?"
The young man said, "My last name is Qin. Uncle Deng, you can just call me Xiao Qin. I am indeed an employee of the farm."
Deng Shirong asked, "You seem to be quite young, and it's amazing that you can work on a farm."
Xiao Qin said, "I'm not young anymore. I'm already 22 years old this year. I was able to work on the farm because of connections. Uncle Deng, you're really amazing. You can even negotiate business with the farm manager. Your business must be very big, right?"
Deng Shirong said, "I just run a small business to support my family. Where are you from, Xiao Qin? Do you have a date?"
Xiao Qin said: "I am from Fushan Brigade of Dongping Commune, and I don't have a girlfriend yet!"
Deng Shirong said, "I see that you are handsome and a regular employee of the farm. It should be easy for you to find a partner with these conditions. Why haven't you found one yet? Is it because your standards are too high and you don't like ordinary girls?"
Xiao Qin said: "Not really, I just haven't met the right one yet, so I'm not in a hurry to find one."
Deng Shirong said: "It is a good thing for young people to marry early, so that when the child is born, the parents can help take care of the child. If you wait until your parents are older, you will have to take care of the child by yourself, which will be very troublesome."
Xiao Qin said: "Uncle Deng is right. If I meet the right person, I will get married as soon as possible."
Deng Shirong did not continue to discuss this issue. Since he had run into a farm employee, he decided to ask about the pineapples. So he asked, "Xiao Qin, I heard that your farm has planted several hundred acres of pineapples, right?"
Xiao Qin nodded and said, "Yes, our farm does grow several hundred acres of pineapples. Uncle Deng, are you coming to our farm to start a pineapple business?"
Deng Shirong hummed and said, "I do have this idea. The pineapples on your farm are purchased directly from the supply and marketing cooperative, right?"
Xiao Qin said: "Yes, the goods from our farm are basically purchased by the supply and marketing cooperative."
Deng Shirong asked, "Xiao Qin, do you know what the supply and marketing cooperative is buying the pineapples from that field?"
Xiao Qin said: "I know, the supply and marketing cooperative's purchase price is 9 cents per catty." This is all public information, so Xiao Qin said it without any pressure.
Deng Shirong had an idea when he heard this. In fact, the price was similar to what he had guessed.
The two chatted all the way, and after about ten minutes, they finally arrived at Dongping Farm.
After getting off the car, Xiao Qin said, "Uncle Deng, I'll take you to see our manager!" without Deng Shirong even asking.
Deng Shirong was not polite and said, "Okay, thank you for your help."
Xiao Qin smiled and said, "What's the trouble?"
As he spoke, Xiao Qin parked the bicycle and took Deng Shirong to the farm manager's office.
Xiao Qin said to a middle-aged man, "Manager, this is Uncle Deng. He is here to discuss the pineapple business with you."
Deng Shirong already knew the name of the manager in front of him when he chatted with Xiao Qin before, so he took the initiative to greet him: "Manager Feng, hello!"
Manager Feng stood up and shook hands with Deng Shirong while saying hello, "Hello, Boss Deng!"
Seeing that the two sides were already communicating, Xiao Qin said, "Manager, Uncle Deng, you guys chat, I'll be leaving first!"
Deng Shirong thanked him, and after he left, he got straight to the point: "Director Feng, I heard that your farm grows a lot of pineapples. I also plan to do this business, so I want to come to your farm to buy some goods."
Manager Feng asked, "Boss Deng, how much goods do you plan to buy?"
Deng Shirong did not answer but asked, "Director Feng, I want to ask, what is the approximate yield of pineapples in your farm during the summer?"
Ground pineapple is a fruit that can be eaten all year round, but among the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the ground pineapple in summer should have the highest yield and the best taste, so Deng Shirong directly asked about the summer yield.
Director Feng knew everything about the farm, and he blurted out, "In summer, the output of pineapples is about 1,200 tons!"
Deng Shirong calculated in his mind and said, "Director Feng, I know that the supply and marketing cooperative is buying your farm at 9 cents per kilogram. I plan to buy all the pineapples from your farm next summer at 0.1 cent per kilogram!"
Although he and Zhou Shengli and the other two had agreed to transport 30 tons of pineapples over there to test the waters next year, he didn't need to do that as he had the system space. He could just buy up the 1,200 tons or so of pineapples and throw them into the space to sell them slowly.
There are so many benefits to doing this. Once the pineapples are selling well in Beijing, we can replenish the stock at any time without going back and forth. Anyway, the shelf life of these pineapples is long enough, so even if they appear in large quantities in the Beijing market, there is no need to worry about someone checking. This is different from longan.
Moreover, if he remembered correctly, prices seemed to have risen in 1985, and purchasing large quantities of goods in 1984 could be considered as saving some costs.
In short, as long as there is system space, it is definitely a good idea to purchase more goods.
Director Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this. Don't underestimate this mere 1 cent. When the quantity is as high as 1,200 tons, the difference is as high as 24,000 yuan. This is definitely not a small amount. He immediately decided: "Boss Deng, if you give this purchase price, we can sign the contract at any time."
Deng Shirong was also straightforward and said, "Director Feng, why not wait for a better day? Let someone prepare the contract!"
This was a good thing for the farm, so Manager Feng did not hesitate and asked someone to prepare the contract. After some discussion, Deng Shirong paid a deposit of 3,000 yuan in advance.
After the two parties signed the contract, Manager Feng, who had generated at least 20,000 yuan in revenue for the farm, was very happy and said enthusiastically, "Boss Deng, I have asked someone to prepare the food. Let's go over and have lunch together. Boss Deng, please take care of our farm's business in the future."
It's no wonder that Manager Feng was so enthusiastic. After all, this was the early 1980s, and it was the first time he had seen a self-employed business as big as Deng Shirong's. If he had the chance, he would naturally make friends with such a capable person.
Deng Shirong also wanted to get closer to the farm manager. It was estimated that the two sides would still cooperate in the next few years. It would be beneficial for him to have a good relationship.
Therefore, as both parties were interested in making friends, the lunch was a very enjoyable one for both the host and the guests.
After the meal, Deng Shirong said goodbye, "Director Feng, I'll leave first. See you next year."
Director Feng said, "Boss Deng, please wait a moment. I will send the farm driver to take you back."
The five autonomous regions have agricultural reclamation farms, which are very large and have all kinds of vehicles, including cars.
Deng Shirong asked politely, "Director Feng, is this too much trouble?"
Director Feng smiled and said, "What's the problem? You are now a big customer of our farm. It's only natural for us to let the driver take you back."
Deng Shirong no longer refused after hearing this and said with a smile: "Thank you!"
"You're welcome. See you next year."
"Well, see you next year."
