Chapter 280 Annual income exceeds 100,000, my in-laws are so awesome [four consecutive increases, boss V587]

Hearing his father's instructions, Deng Yuntai instantly became alert and asked, "Dad, are you planning to let me do that big business you mentioned?"

Zhang Xiuping's eyes also lit up. Her father-in-law had told them a long time ago that the Suifeng Hotel was just a training ground for the couple, and there would be more profitable projects for them to run in the future. She always believed in her father-in-law's words.

Now, hearing what her father-in-law said, Zhang Xiuping couldn't help but ask, "Dad, is the time ripe?"

Deng Shirong nodded and smiled, "Yes, the situation of reform and opening up is getting better and better. The time is almost ripe for the big business I mentioned to you before. We can start preparing now."

Deng Yuntai asked, "Dad, you asked me to keep an eye on these manufacturers. Are you planning to open a large mall like a department store on the second and third floors of the hotel?"

Deng Shirong said, "It's similar to a department store, but the business model is different. You need to make preparations first. This big business is not as easy as opening a restaurant. I won't tell you the details yet. I have to wait and see for a while. Once I'm sure it can be done, I'll hire someone to renovate the second and third floors of the restaurant."

Deng Yunzhen praised: "Dad, you are amazing. When you were building this building, you had already thought about what you wanted to do. You have a long-term vision."

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "It's just like playing chess. You have to look three steps ahead before you make a move. The farther you can see, the better you are at playing chess. The reason why our leader is so good in the military field is because he can see farther than anyone else."

Deng Yuntai nodded and said, "Okay, then when I get to Shangbo, I will pay attention to this information. I know several purchasing personnel from state-owned and collective enterprises. I will ask them and I should be able to get the contact information of these factories soon."

"There's no rush for this. I'm just telling you in advance so you can be mentally prepared. It'll probably take another two years for this business to be successful."

"Okay, got it!"

After chatting for a while and having a small midnight snack, Deng Shirong put down his bowl and chopsticks and went to pick up the cigarette.

While smoking, Deng Shirong was also thinking about letting his eldest son open a chain supermarket. The operating model of this supermarket was absolutely novel in that era, and the management difficulty was much more difficult than in later generations. Just how to prevent customers from stealing things was a huge problem.

After all, even with full coverage of cameras and various preventive measures in place in later generations, there is still no way to eliminate petty theft. How can we completely eliminate theft in this day and age?

If this problem cannot be solved, the supermarket's profits will be greatly affected.

Fortunately, there is still enough time, and we can slowly think of solutions. We don’t have to completely eliminate theft, but we can consider it a success as long as most customers don’t steal.

Another thing is to plan ahead. Since the eldest son opens a chain supermarket, he must expand to other cities, especially the capital Nanning, which cannot be missed. It is also a city that the chain supermarket needs to focus on in the future.

Therefore, if conditions permit, he must go to Nanning in advance to buy land and build a building. By the time the supermarket in Bobai is up and running, he can quickly expand to Nanning.

As for other cities in Guangxi, if conditions permit, people have to buy land and build buildings in advance.

Only in this way can chain supermarkets develop rapidly, and once the number of chain supermarkets increases, they will not have to worry about competitors.

Because once a certain scale is reached, the purchase volume of goods will be larger, and the prices will naturally have more discounts. At that time, there will be cost advantages. Even if others want to follow suit, they will definitely not be able to shake the position of their own chain supermarkets.

Whether we can break out of Guangxi and go to the whole country by then is not the point. At least in Guangxi, we must firmly maintain our position as the leader.

All of this requires money to invest. He is currently in debt, so he still has a long way to go to achieve this.

However, Deng Shirong was not in a hurry. After all, this was the track he had set for his eldest son and daughter-in-law. He was only responsible for starting, and then he would leave it to them to fight on their own. How far they could go in the end was determined by their abilities. At most, he would help guide them at critical moments and would not get too involved.

…

New Year's Day.

Deng Shirong and his family didn't go anywhere, they just stayed at home, warming themselves by the fire and chatting.

Xiaodong'er is over two years old at this time. He is at the most active age. He can't sit still for a moment. No matter how cold it is outside, he has to run out to play.

It just so happened that her fourth uncle Deng Yunhua was also an active person, so he played hide-and-seek with her in the yard, which made Xiaodong'er so happy that she giggled all the time, and everyone who was warming by the fire in the house smiled.

I have to say that children aged two or three are indeed the most playful, and their innocent laughter is the most touching.

Deng Shirong was particularly happy to see this. In his previous life, because his eldest son died young, he did not have any grandchildren when he was his age. Now he has grandchildren, and his family conditions are getting better and better. He is living a very fulfilling life.

When Xiao Dong'er came back tired from playing, Deng Shirong picked her up and sat her on his lap, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Dong'er, you've been running around for a long time, are you hungry?"

Xiao Dong'er stretched out his hand and pulled Grandpa's beard, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, I want to eat hair buns, and I want them roasted."

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Okay, then you just sit here and warm yourself by the fire, and I'll roast some basil for you to eat."

Xiao Dong'er nodded and said, "I'll be a good boy and not play with fire."

Deng Shirong put her on the stool next to him and praised her, "Our little Dong'er is so well behaved."

At this time, Zhang Xiuping had already put a hair bun on it with chopsticks and brought it over. Deng Shirong took it and slowly roasted it close to the fire.

It was not the first time for Xiao Dong'er to eat roasted glutinous rice dumplings. She sat there and stared at her grandfather's movements, asking from time to time: "Grandpa, can I eat it now?"

That eager little expression made her look very cute.

Deng Shirong roasted the skin of the hair bun until it was slightly charred, then tore it off, and when it was no longer hot, he handed it to her and said, "You can eat it now!"

Xiao Dong'er had been so greedy that she took it and put it in her mouth and started biting it. She now has 20 teeth and can bite food by herself.

Deng Shirong continued to roast the fa zhu. He roasted one layer at a time and ate it. Each layer was roasted until it was slightly charred. The taste was still very good. Moreover, it was both delicious and fun, which many people could not resist.

Seeing Xiaodong'er eating with relish, Deng Yunzhu couldn't sit still anymore. She ran back and picked up a steamed bun with chopsticks to roast.

Then, the others followed suit and came over with a bun to be roasted.

Anyone who has roasted fa zhang knows that the skin layer is the most delicious. Seeing that Xiao Dong'er likes to eat it, everyone tore the skin off and gave it to her after roasting.

However, Xiaodong'er didn't have a big appetite, and he felt full after eating a few pieces.

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of heart-wrenching shouting from outside, with curses like "behead the big boss", "behead him a thousand times", "die man" and so on, and she was crying while shouting and cursing.

Deng Shirong's family recognized the voice as that of their neighbor on the right, Azhuba. She was Deng Changqi's wife. No one knew what had happened on New Year's Day that made her so angry and yelling. Out of curiosity, they all went out to see what was going on.

Other families living nearby also rushed over when they heard the noise.

Deng Shirong came out and saw Ah Zhu Ba with tears and snot all over his face. He couldn't help but ask, "Ah Zhu Ba, what happened?"

"Jiu Gong!"

Ah Zhuba wiped her tears and said, "Deng Changqi, that idiot, went out to gamble and lost. Then he came back and stole the little money I saved with great difficulty to gamble with. He must be unhappy if he doesn't lose everything in this family. Life is really unbearable."

After hearing this, Deng Shirong understood.

In his previous life, his second son embarked on the path of no return of gambling. With his flexible mind, he eventually became a professional gambler. Until the moment Deng Shirong was reborn, his second son made a living by gambling.

In the village, there are many people who gamble while working.

Because they cannot make a living from gambling, they can stop working when they win money, but when they lose everything, they have to work honestly. When they save up enough money, they come back to gamble again, and go back to work again when they lose everything, and the cycle continues.

Some work during the day and gamble at night.

In short, more than half of the people in the entire village are involved in gambling, the only difference is whether they gamble big or small.

And the neighbor Deng Changqi is one of these gamblers, and he is addicted to gambling and can't quit even if he wants to.

Deng Shirong clearly remembers that in the 21st century, Deng Changqi once lost a very important sum of money in gambling. He was filled with remorse and swore on the spot that he would never gamble again. He took out a knife and chopped off half of his left little finger as a warning to himself.

As a result, the chopped-off half of his little finger hasn't even recovered yet, and he's seen sitting at the gambling table again.

Therefore, if we were to rank the worst gamblers in Naye Village, even if Deng Changqi could not take the top spot, he would definitely be qualified to be in the top three.

Originally, after being reborn, Deng Shirong only planned to control his children and prevent them from gambling. He had no intention of meddling in other people's business and controlling whether other people in the village gambled or not.

Because Deng Shirong knew that since ancient times, the four bad habits of prostitution, gambling, drinking and blowing are really difficult to quit, and even if he stepped forward to manage it, it might not be effective.

However, seeing Ah Zhuba crying bitterly on New Year's Day, Deng Shirong felt a little shaken. Perhaps he should do something about it. Otherwise, even if he helped these tribesmen make a lot of money, it would all be given to others in the end.

It just so happens that his prestige in the clan has now reached its peak, and the weight of his words is not comparable to that in his previous life. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, he should give it a try. If it succeeds, it will truly benefit future generations.

Thinking of this, Deng Shirong said to Ah Zhuba, "I know what's going on. Don't cry or make a fuss. Have a good New Year first. I will call a clan meeting in a few days to deal with this matter. I don't care whether other villages gamble or not, but in our village where the Deng family is located, there must be no gambling venues."

"Thank you, Jiugong! Thank you, Jiugong!"

Upon hearing this, Azhuba thanked her repeatedly. She had been married to Deng Changqi for more than ten years and knew his character very well. It was impossible for her to control him and stop him from gambling. He would never listen to her. This was the reason why she cried in despair just now.

However, if Jiugong came forward, the effect would be different.

The other neighbors who were watching were all people who did not participate in gambling. After all, it was impossible for people who participated in gambling to be at home at the moment. They would have slipped out to gamble long ago.

Therefore, when they heard Deng Shirong say this, they all applauded.

"It's time to take care of it. Gambling really harms people. My cousin from my eldest aunt's family lost his wife and children because of gambling."

"My cousin from my uncle's family was not much better. He sold all the valuable things in the house for gambling. He almost pissed my uncle off to death."

"My rebellious son never changes his ways. He has lost at least 100 or 200 yuan in the past two years. I am so angry that I want to break his legs."

"Jiu Gong, I'm afraid that only if you speak up can we completely eradicate this evil trend of gambling."

“…”

Seeing that the neighbors were all cheering, Deng Shirong said, "Everyone is busy visiting relatives during the New Year these days, so it's not suitable to hold a clan meeting. I will hold a clan meeting on the sixth day of the New Year to deal with this matter. Let's set the time at 2 pm. Everyone, tell each other."

All the neighbors responded.

Jiugong's intervention gave Ah Zhuba hope, so she stopped crying and cursing and went back to clean up her image.

Seeing this, the neighbors who were watching also dispersed.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The family returned to the house and continued to warm themselves by the fire. Deng Yuntai said, "Dad, the government has always strictly prohibited gambling and has been carrying out actions to combat gambling, but gambling only pauses for a while at the height of the crackdown. When the storm has passed, gambling will revive again and will not stop despite repeated prohibitions.

Dad, if you convene a clan meeting to deal with this matter, I'm afraid it will be a thankless task!"

Deng Shirong already had an idea in mind, and said, "Whether or not gambling can be stopped, I can't just sit back and do nothing. I will let these tribesmen who like gambling make a choice. If they are willing to stay away from gambling, that would be the best. If they don't listen to my advice, I will kick them out of the passenger transport company."

Deng Yuntai was shocked. He didn't expect his father to be so ruthless. However, he had to admit that no one dared to ignore this threat. After all, the passenger transport company was very profitable. Everyone in the entire Naye Deng family knew about it. If he was kicked out of the passenger transport company, the loss would be immeasurable.

"If that's the case, then it might actually work."

"Anyway, we should do our best and leave the rest to fate. If they listen to advice, they will definitely live a better life than most people in the future. If they don't listen to advice, that's also a personal choice. How they live in the future is none of other people's business."

At this point, Deng Shirong stopped discussing the topic and looked at Zhang Xiuping and said, "Sister Ping, you can go back to your parents' home tomorrow and take Dongzi with you. Xiao Dong'er can stay at home. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient to go back and forth with two children."

Zhang Xiuping nodded and said, "Okay, then let Xiaodong stay at home."

…

The next day.

After breakfast, Deng Yuntai, Deng Changyuan and Deng Changdong rode their bicycles, bringing their wives, children and gifts, to Poxin Village.

Ever since the three sisters Zhang Xiuping, Ou Guohua and Ou Guofang got married one after another, they would go back to their parents' home together on the second day of the Lunar New Year every year. This year is the third year that they have gone back to their parents' home together.

Now, Zhang Xiuping has given birth to a son and a daughter, and Ou Guofang and Ou Guohua are both pregnant with their second child!

Because the Ou sisters were pregnant, the three of them rode very slowly along the way, and by the time they arrived at Poxin Village, it was almost noon.

Deng Yuntai brought his wife and children to his mother-in-law's house. What caught his eye was a row of brand new blue brick and tile houses. The architectural style was not exactly the same as their house, but it was at least 80% similar.

"Mom and Dad, Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law, Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law, Xiaojun and Xiaoshan!"

"Yun-tae, Soo-pyeong!"

"Sister, brother-in-law!"

When two parties meet, greeting each other and exchanging some polite words are inevitable.

Two minutes later, they went into the house together to warm themselves by the fire.

After chatting about the newly built house, the topic naturally turned to the Ye Deng’s passenger transport company.

Zhang Zhenfa couldn't help asking, "Xiuping, I heard from your mother that your Deng's passenger transport company is packed with passengers every day during the Spring Festival travel rush, and they made a lot of money?"

There was no need to keep such things secret in front of her parents, so Zhang Xiuping answered directly: "It is true that we made a lot of money. According to the prediction of my father-in-law and others, after this Spring Festival travel season, the company can make at least 400,000 yuan."

"hiss……"

Hearing this, the Zhang family, including Zhang's mother, couldn't help but gasp.

During the Spring Festival travel season, one can earn at least 400,000 yuan. This speed of making money is even faster than robbing a bank!

Moreover, they knew that this passenger transport company was initiated by their father-in-law, who invested a total of 360,000 yuan in it and was the largest shareholder of the passenger transport company.

How much of the 400,000 yuan earned can the father-in-law get? Thinking of this, Zhang Zhenfa looked at his son-in-law and asked, "Yuntai, if the 400,000 yuan is divided according to shares, how much can your father get?"

Deng Yuntai answered honestly: "Probably around 54,000 yuan!"

"hiss……"

Hearing this answer, the Zhang family gasped again.

Although they were all mentally prepared to a certain extent, they were still shocked by the speed at which their in-laws made money.

Mrs. Zhang Dasao and Mrs. Zhang Ersao looked at each other and were equally shocked.

Her family runs a small shop on Longtan Street and can earn several thousand yuan a year, which is considered very impressive in Poxin Village. There are only a handful of people who can compare with their family. But compared with my sister-in-law's family, their income is really not worth mentioning.

After all, my sister-in-law's family's income is not limited to this passenger transport company. Even if we don't mention the income from the orchard, there are also the Suifeng Hotel and the tile factory!

At this time, Zhang Zhenfa also happened to ask: "What about the restaurant? This year, the restaurant is managed by you and your wife. How much money did you make?"

Zhang Xiuping replied proudly: "The hotel's revenue this year is much higher than last year. The profit for the whole year is about 39,000 yuan!"

When the Zhang family heard this, they were all shocked! 54,000+39,000=93,000, and the Zhang family already knew the income of the in-laws in the tile factory, which was about 7,000 yuan per year, which added up to exactly 100,000.

What does it mean to earn more than 100,000 yuan a year? At their current rate of earning, it would take at least 20 years to earn that much money.

At this moment, Zhang Zhenfa was truly full of admiration for his relative Deng Shirong.

He had known for a long time that this relative was good at making money, but he really didn't expect it to be so good.

Originally, knowing that his in-laws had borrowed hundreds of thousands of yuan from a credit union, he was still worried about them, wondering if they could repay the loan. Until now, his heart has finally settled down.

Seeing that her family was shocked, Zhang Xiuping asked, "Mom and Dad, Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law, Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law, although the income from the small shop you are currently running is not bad, the speed of making money is still a little slow. Have you ever thought about starting some other business?"

Zhang Zhenfa is relatively conservative when it comes to doing business. If it weren't for his daughter's constant persuasion, the small shop he is running now would not have been able to open. Now the small shop can earn several thousand yuan a year, and he is already very satisfied, and has never thought about expanding the business or running other businesses.

Therefore, upon hearing his daughter's question, Zhang Zhenfa shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it."

Mrs. Zhang's eyes lit up and she asked, "Pingmei, do you have a more profitable business that you want us to do?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ersao looked at her sister-in-law expectantly. This small shop was run by the two sisters-in-law most of the time. They were very familiar with doing business, and they were more enterprising than their conservative father-in-law.

Zhang Xiuping had been working in the county town for so long that her horizons had changed. She was still confident that she could find a profitable business for her family. When she heard her eldest sister-in-law's question, she smiled and said, "If you two want to go further, we can discuss it together. The situation is getting better day by day, and there are many ways to make money."

Mrs. Zhang said, "Sister Ping, of course we want to go further, but we don't know what to do?"

Mrs. Zhang nodded and said, "Yes, it's ok for my sister-in-law and I to run the store and sell things, but if you ask us to think about what kind of business to start, we can't think of it."

Zhang Xiuping said: "Everyone is developing the economy now, and there will be more and more rich people every year. When you have money, the first thing you do is naturally to build new houses. Therefore, the demand for blue bricks and red bricks will become greater and greater. If you invest in building a brick factory now, you will definitely make a lot of money."

Zhang Zhenfa couldn't help but remind her when he heard this: "Xiuping, our brigade already has a brick factory."

Zhang Xiuping said, "Now almost every brigade has a brick factory, but most of them are small brick factories with limited production capacity, and they can't meet the increasing demand. Dad, if you are brave enough, you can invest in a large brick factory. I believe you can make money."

Zhang Zhenfa felt a little uneasy and asked, "To build a large brick factory, the initial investment alone must be at least tens of thousands, right?"

Zhang Xiuping nodded and said, "Although I haven't done any research, an investment of tens of thousands of dollars is definitely necessary, maybe even more."

"That won't work. The investment is too huge!" Zhang Zhenfa shook his head repeatedly. When he first opened the small shop, he hesitated for a long time with an investment of only a few hundred dollars. Now, the investment must be at least tens of thousands of dollars. He absolutely cannot do this business.

After all, not everyone has the courage of his in-laws.
