Chapter 322: Power on, dividends distributed, the whole audience was shocked

Poxin Village.

Zhang Zhen made a fortune.

Xiao Dong'er and Dongzi, a brother and sister, were playing games with their cousins ​​at the door. Deng Yuntai was sitting by the fire with his father-in-law and his elder and younger brothers-in-law, warming themselves by the fire and chatting.

In the kitchen, Zhang's mother and her two daughters-in-law were busy making tea and frying rice dumplings, while Zhang Xiuping stood beside them and chatted with them.

After chatting about family matters, Zhang's mother couldn't help but ask, "Xiuping, Ahua came back before the New Year and said that you are no longer managing the Suifeng Hotel, but have opened a new Yongjia Supermarket that is like a department store?"

Zhang Xiuping nodded and smiled: "Well, we are now responsible for managing the supermarket."

Sister Song, who was lighting the fire, asked, "Pingmei, you and your brother-in-law are no longer in charge of the restaurant, so who is in charge of the restaurant now?"

Zhang Xiuping replied: "The restaurant is now managed by my eldest sister-in-law (not my husband's sister, but there are two younger sisters-in-law, so I use this title to distinguish them). She is getting married this year, and this restaurant is also the dowry prepared by my father-in-law for her."

When these words were spoken, Zhang's mother, as well as Zhang's eldest sister-in-law and Zhang's second sister-in-law were all shocked.

Zhang's mother asked in disbelief, "Xiuping, what's going on? Is your father-in-law getting senile? Is he giving the restaurant as a dowry to your sister-in-law?"

Zhang Xiuping was a little unhappy after hearing her mother say this. She said dissatisfiedly, "Mom, please don't say such nonsense. My father-in-law is not senile. He treats his seven children equally. What's so strange about giving the restaurant to my eldest sister-in-law as a dowry?"

To be honest, her father-in-law treated her no worse than her biological parents, in fact, better. So Zhang Xiuping couldn't bear to hear anyone say anything bad about her father-in-law, even if the person saying that was her biological mother.

Zhang's mother naturally saw that her daughter was unhappy, and hurriedly explained: "Xiuping, Mom doesn't mean anything else, I just think your father-in-law's behavior is too outrageous. You know the customs here. The family's fields, houses, and properties are all inherited by the son.

Your father-in-law has five sons. The Suifeng Hotel is such an important property, but he didn't leave it to his sons but gave it to his daughter as a dowry?"

Mrs. Zhang Dasao and Mrs. Zhang Ersao also found it difficult to understand. What they couldn't understand the most was that their sister-in-law didn't seem to have any objection to this matter at all. She even thought that her father-in-law's approach was right. What was going on?

What on earth is going on in my sister-in-law's mind?

Zhang Xiuping frowned and said, "Mom, I'm a daughter too!"

Zhang's mother said awkwardly: "Xiuping, that's not what I meant, it's just..."

Zhang Xiuping interrupted, "Mom, I understand what you mean. My father-in-law doesn't favor one child over another. He has made arrangements for each of his children. Take us for example. Didn't my father-in-law give us the supermarket?"

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but interrupt and ask, "Pingmei, is the supermarket you manage now making money like the restaurant?"

Zhang Xiuping let out a little hint and said, "The profit made by the supermarket is more than double that of the restaurant."

Zhang's mother and the other two were shocked when they heard this.

At this moment, they all understood why Zhang Xiuping reacted this way. It turned out that this supermarket, which they had just heard of, was actually more profitable than the restaurant.

Zhang's mother quickly apologized: "Xiuping, I'm sorry, I misunderstood your father-in-law!"

Zhang Xiuping knew that her mother said that to fight for her interests, so she naturally didn't take her words to heart, but she still warned: "Mom, I know you said that for my own good, but no matter what happens in the future, I don't want you to say bad things about my father-in-law.

Since I married into the Deng family, my father-in-law has been so good to me. And you know what our family was like before. If it weren’t for my father-in-law’s help, how could you live like this today? "

"Mom, I know. I won't say it again. I just spoke quickly. I didn't mean to say anything bad about your father-in-law."

Mother Zhang explained again, and then couldn't help but sighed: "But then again, your father-in-law is really too good to his daughter. He invested so much money in the Suifeng Hotel, and now it can make tens of thousands of yuan every year. He actually used it as a dowry for his daughter. I'm afraid that no one else in the whole county can do this except your father-in-law."

Mrs. Zhang echoed, "Yes, they say a daughter who is married off is like water spilled. Unless she is an only child, no parents can be so generous."

Mrs. Zhang continued, "Even if it's an only child, parents won't be so generous. They will at least wait until they can no longer manage the business before handing over such an important business to their daughter and son-in-law. Before they can still manage the business, nine out of ten times they won't hand it over."

Zhang Xiuping smiled when she heard this. What her mother and her elder and second sisters-in-law said was actually a common phenomenon in their place. Cases like her father-in-law were indeed rare.

…

By the fire in the living room.

After chatting with his father-in-law for a while, Deng Yuntai asked, "Dad, how is your wooden clothespin factory business?"

Hearing his son-in-law mention this, Zhang Zhenfa said with a smile on his face: "Last year's business was good. The foreign trade department directly purchased unlimited quantities. It's a pity that the profit of these wooden clothespins is not high, and our production capacity is still a little small. In a year, we only made more than 40,000 yuan."

Deng Yuntai almost couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this. His father-in-law was actually pretending.

You have to know that before this wooden clothespin factory opened, my father-in-law's family was very satisfied with making more than 4,000 yuan a year from the small shop they opened on Longtan Street.

Now I can earn more than 40,000 yuan a year by running the factory, which is ten times the income before. But my father-in-law said that I only earned more than 40,000 yuan...

"Dad, you're already amazing. I invested more than 300,000 yuan in my family's restaurant, but I couldn't make that much money in the first one or two years!"

"Okay, stop praising me. The success of this wooden clothespin factory is also due to you and Xiuping's efforts."

Zhang Zhenfa had some idea of ​​how the wooden clothespin factory came to be, so he didn't talk much about this topic and instead asked about his son-in-law's supermarket business.

Deng Yuntai answered every question and explained the supermarket's business model in detail to his father-in-law, elder brother-in-law and younger brother-in-law. They were shocked. They had never expected that business could be done in this way. Customers could pick and choose whatever they wanted and just pay for it at the same time. This business model was really novel.

When Deng Yuntai had almost finished explaining the supermarket's business model, Zhang's mother and others brought out the fried rice dumplings and brewed tea, and called Xiao Dong'er and a group of children, big and small, in. They ate and chatted, and it was a very happy time.

…

In previous years, Suifeng Hotel would not open for business until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so Deng Yuntai and others did not have to rush to the county town. But this year is different. With the establishment of Yongjia Supermarket, the business hours will be much earlier, so they have to rush to the county town on the first few days of the first lunar month.

Since the supermarket is open, the restaurant should also open as well, otherwise it would be inconvenient for Deng Yuntai and his family to eat there.

Therefore, Deng Yunzhen also went upstairs, and the supermarket employees also went up with them.

It was definitely unrealistic to have dozens of people take the bus up there. Even during the off-season, there weren't that many seats on the passing bus, let alone during the Spring Festival travel rush! In the end, Bu Zhongshi sent two cars to take Deng Yuntai and the others up.

Seeing this situation, Deng Shirong felt that it was necessary for the tribe's passenger transport company to open a route from Naye Village to Bobai.

After all, the whole clan has built a residential area in the county town, and when everyone's houses are renovated, they will definitely go there to live for a while from time to time. The clan members going back and forth alone can support one or two shuttle bus trips, not to mention the passengers from various towns along the way. This route is indeed worth developing, as it not only facilitates the clan members' travel, but also makes money, which is killing two birds with one stone.

Once the Naye-Bobai route is opened, it will inevitably affect the shuttle bus service on the Shapi-Bobai route.

Because when people from Shuangwang travel, unless they live in a village close to the Tanlian intersection, most people from other villages take the Shabei bus. Once the Tenglong Bus Company opens the Naye-Bobai route, the Shabei bus will no longer be the only choice for people from Shuangwang to travel, which will naturally have a huge impact.

However, this has nothing to do with Deng Shirong.

Seeing that it was getting late, Deng Shirong rode his motorcycle towards the temporary government seat of Shuangwang Township. He wanted to talk to the township leaders about the electrification of Bangjie Village.

Shuangwang Township was only separated from Songwang Township in January. It is impossible to build a township government in such a short time, so the leaders of the township government are now working in the government’s temporary residence.

Deng Shirong drove a motorcycle to the temporary residence of the township government, which immediately caused quite a commotion. Motorcycles of that era were indeed impressive, and their influence was no less than driving a Rolls-Royce to the township government in later generations.

"Uncle Nine!"

"Uncle Nine!"

"Uncle Nine!"

Deng Shirong’s fame is now not limited to Bangjie Village. In the entire Shuangwang area, if there is still someone who doesn’t know Uncle Naye Jiu, then he should not come out to mingle.

Therefore, when the local staff of the township government saw Deng Shirong, they all came out to greet him and were extremely polite.

Deng Shirong parked his motorcycle and greeted them one by one with a smile.

"Uncle Jiu, what are you doing here today?"

"I have something I want to discuss with the secretary. Please inform him for me."

"Okay, Uncle Jiu, please wait a moment. I'll go tell the secretary right away."

…

Two minutes later.

Deng Shirong met with senior party officials from Shuangwang Township in his office.

The senior party official of Shuangwang Township is named Lin. He is from the neighboring Luchuan County and speaks Hakka. He was originally the head of Wangmao Township. After Shuangwang Township became independent from Songwang Township, he was transferred to serve as the top leader of Shuangwang Township, which was considered a promotion.

When the two sides met, Secretary Lin said with a smile on his face: "Uncle Jiu, I have heard of your great name for a long time!"

As a township leader who wants to make progress, Secretary Lin pays attention to and understands the prominent figures in the villages under his jurisdiction. As for Deng Shirong, the most famous person in Quanshuangwang, Secretary Lin has indeed known him for a long time. He knows that he is not only the most influential head of the Naye Deng family, but also owns many industries in the county, making him a veritable big boss.

The most important thing is that he has a son who is studying at Peking University. He has started working this year and his starting level is the same as his. It will be no problem for him to rise to high positions in the future. Secretary Lin naturally attaches great importance to such a celebrity with a good reputation and background.

Deng Shirong said modestly: "Secretary, you are too kind. It is just an empty title."

After some pleasantries, Secretary Lin asked, "Uncle Jiu, why did you come to see me today?"

Deng Shirong said: "Secretary, it is like this. Our Naye Deng family has developed quite well in the past two years. The living standards of the clan members have improved, and many families want to purchase some home appliances to improve their quality of life.

But our Bangjie Village still has no electricity. Even if we buy electrical appliances, we can’t use them. So the more than 3,000 members of our Naye Deng clan are eager to hope that the leaders can pay attention to our Bangjie Village and let our village have electricity as soon as possible.”

Secretary Lin finally understood the other party's intention after hearing this, and he replied: "Uncle Jiu, we will pay attention to the problem you mentioned, but the power supply station is only under the leadership of our township government in terms of administration, but their personnel, finances, etc. are all directly managed by the county power bureau, so we can only make suggestions on their planning, and we cannot make decisions directly.

However, having said that, the power supply station will generally seriously consider the suggestions made by our township government. I will communicate with the power supply station on this matter and strive to get electricity to Bangjie Village as soon as possible."

These words were well-reasoned and not at all evasive. Deng Shirong was very satisfied and nodded, saying, "Then I'll trouble you, Secretary!"

"Uncle Jiu, you are too polite. It is my responsibility as a leader to let the people of Shuangwang Township live a good life."

At this point, Secretary Lin changed the subject and asked, "Uncle Jiu, I heard that you have a son who is studying at Peking University and has started working this year. Where does he work?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "That's my second son. He joined the Planning Commission after graduation."

After all, Secretary Lin is a person in the system and also serves as the top leader of the township. Naturally, he is very familiar with various departments of the country. When he heard what Deng Shirong said, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Although he had long understood that those who graduated from Peking University, a top university, were not ordinary people, and that everyone who chose to go into politics had a bright future, which was not something that a grassroots cadre like him with a low level of education could compare to.

But he never expected that Uncle Naye Jiu's second son would be able to enter such an important department as the State Planning Commission as soon as he graduated. He knew that even Peking University graduates were not eligible to enter such a department if they wanted to. Only outstanding graduates from Peking University were eligible to enter such a department.

In other words, Uncle Naye Jiu's second son is more promising than he imagined.

This is a long story, but it’s actually just a thought that came to my mind in a flash.

Secretary Lin praised sincerely, "Uncle Jiu, your second son really has a bright future. It seems that our Shuangwang Township will have another great official in the future!"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Thank you for the auspicious words, Secretary."

After that, both of them were eager to make friends, so they naturally had a very pleasant chat.

Half an hour passed in a flash, and seeing that it was getting late, Deng Shirong got up and said goodbye.

After watching Deng Shirong leave, Secretary Lin immediately went to arrange for the electrification of Bangjie Village. As the head of the township, although he was not the direct leader of the power supply station, his words still carried weight, and it was not difficult for him to get the electricity to Bangjie Village ahead of schedule.

…

A week later.

The Bangjie Village Committee received a notice from above that electricity would be provided to the village.

As soon as the news came out, the entire Naye Deng family was in an uproar. Everyone was excited and ran around to tell each other.

“After so many years of waiting, the village is finally going to have electricity!”

"That's great. In the summer, it's too hot whether I'm eating or sleeping. I've wanted to buy an electric fan for a long time, but unfortunately there's no electricity in the village, and I don't want to spend money to buy a battery, which is too expensive.

Now that the village is finally going to have electricity, I can use an electric fan this summer, which is really great!"

"Damn it, once the village has electricity, I'll go buy a TV."

"The clan leader is really powerful. There was no news of electricity in the village before. The clan leader went to the township government to talk to the leaders, and soon our village will have electricity. The clan leader is really generous."

"That's right. We have such a powerful clan leader. It's normal for the township leaders to give us face."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

“…”

In addition to the Naye Deng clan, there are also villages with the surnames Guan and Zhou in Bangjie Village.

Since the entire Bangjie Village is going to be electrified, the villages with these two surnames will naturally be included. The villagers with these two surnames also received the news from the village committee. They were shocked at first, and then they became excited.

To get electricity, you first have to erect poles and lay wires.

Since Bangjie Village is the administrative village closest to the Laohutou Reservoir in Shuangwang, the electric wires laid from the Laohutou Power Station to Shuangwangwei actually pass through the territory of Bangjie Village. This can be said to be a great advantage. However, it was not until the late 1990s that Bangjie Village had electricity. It was simply ignored to the extreme.

Thanks to Deng Shirong's intervention in this life, electricity was supplied at least ten years earlier than in the previous life.

In the following time, under the guidance of the power supply station staff, the tribesmen began to plant electric poles.

Without the help of machinery and relying solely on manpower, planting telephone poles requires a lot of labor. However, in this day and age, everything is in short supply except labor.

In less than ten days, all the electrical wires in the village were installed. The next step was to pull wires from house to house. These were not difficult tasks and the villagers could do it themselves. For them, all they had to do was pull the wires up. There was no need to install hidden wires or use junction boxes like in later generations.

Of course, they just pulled up the wires. When it comes to wiring and installing switches, they still need to find electricians or knowledgeable villagers to help. Not everyone understands this.

The first home to receive electricity was naturally Deng Shirong's home.

Because Deng Shirong's home already had a complete wiring, he just needed to connect the electricity and it could be used.

After electricity was connected to his home, Deng Shirong made a special trip to the township government to express his gratitude to Secretary Lin.

Deng Shirong understood that Secretary Lin must have made great efforts to get electricity in the village so quickly, and he should express his gratitude.

…

After electricity was connected to the village, the bustling Spring Festival travel rush officially ended.

After the Spring Festival travel rush ended, Deng Shirong called the bus company and convened a clan meeting the next day, inviting clan members to come collect dividends from the bus company.

Although the tribesmen have long known that the passenger transport company will distribute dividends to everyone after the Spring Festival travel rush ends, no one knows the exact day.

Now that the time has finally been officially confirmed, all the tribesmen can't help but feel happy.

"Haha, it's not easy. I finally got the company's dividend!"

"Before, the whole family raised funds to build a community in the county town. I took everything out of my house. I have been living a tight life recently and am just waiting for the company's dividends!"

"Yeah, I don't even dare to buy meat recently. Money is really tight."

"That's not so exaggerated. Didn't you make a lot of money selling watermelons and pigs last year?"

"I did make a lot of money, but I bought two houses in the county town. All the money I made from selling watermelons and pigs was handed over to Deng's Real Estate."

"No wonder. It's normal to be short of money if you want two houses."

"Last year, we got 500 yuan per share as dividends. I wonder how much I can get per share this year?"

"I'm not sure. The company was quite profitable last year, but we reinvested the money we earned during the off-season to buy five more buses. So even if this year's dividend is more than last year, it probably won't be much more."

"As long as the dividend this year is no less than last year, I can renovate my house in the county town with this money."

“…”

The next day at noon.

After lunch, the clan members gathered at the entrance of Naye Deng’s ancestral hall.

Because the news of the passenger transport company's dividends spread yesterday, even the nearby Guan villages such as Jimapore, Bangliang, and Sham Shui Tin had heard about it, so many idle Guan clan members rushed to the scene to watch the fun after lunch.

Among them were members of the Guan clan who were present at the scene and watched the Deng clan members receive dividends last year.

At about one o'clock, the company's general manager Deng Changyu and others returned on the company bus.

"Oh my god, you're finally back. I was so anxious waiting for you!"

"The money won't go away. It's the right amount. Why should you worry about it?"

"I know the money won't go away, but I just want to get the money as soon as possible!"

“…”

Amid everyone's discussions, the millions of cash that Deng Changyu and others brought back were piled on the table in front of the ancestral hall. The amount of cash was much more than last year, so the visual effect was naturally needless to say.

Not to mention the Guan family members who saw so much cash for the first time, even those who participated in the dividend distribution last year still felt shocked to see so much cash again.

Deng Changyu came to Deng Shirong and said, "Jiu Gong, the total here is 1.578 million, and each share can get 600 yuan on average."

Deng Shirong hummed, looked at the clansmen who were discussing below, and said: "Dear brothers and nephews, today is the second dividend distribution since the establishment of our passenger transport company. The first dividend distribution last year was 500 yuan per share, and the second dividend distribution this year is 600 yuan per share."

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was instantly excited! "That's amazing, if the price per share is 600 yuan, then if we invested in it before, we would have already made our money back!"

"Not only have I made back my investment, I have already made some money. When I invested before, one share was 1,000 yuan. Last year, I got 500 yuan per share. This year, I have already made back my investment if I got 500 yuan per share. If I get 600 yuan per share, I will have made 100 yuan per share."

"Damn, I regret it so much, why didn't I invest two more shares at that time."

"You are not the only one who regrets this. Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world."

"I don't regret it, because I invested all the money I could to buy two more shares!"

"Alas, I was just unlucky. I spent more than 2,000 yuan to build a house. If I hadn't built this house at the time and bought two more shares, I would have made a lot of money. Now I wish I could tear down the house!"

“…”

In the crowd, Deng Changqi, the gambler, was still frightened.

Ever since the clan leader issued a gambling ban for the entire clan, he had almost recklessly gone for it several times when his gambling addiction struck. But in the end, he controlled himself because the risk was too great and he could not afford the loss of his shares in the passenger transport company.

Now, he has finally survived, and his shares in the passenger transport company have been saved. It is the harvest season. It is really not easy! Next to Deng Changqi is his wife Azhuba.

At this time, hearing that the passenger transport company's dividend this year is 600 yuan per share, Ah Zhu Ba was excited, but she also looked at her husband and warned him in a low voice: "If you dare to participate in gambling again in the future and make our family lose the shares of the passenger transport company, I will chop you up with a knife, or die together!"

Deng Changqi looked at his wife's determined eyes and felt a little scared. He cursed in a low voice, "You're not done yet, are you? I've already quit gambling, haven't I?"

Ah Zhu Ba stared at him for three full seconds before saying, "I'm just saying this first so that you won't get confused later. I'll tell you to think about what I said today when you get angry someday. Anyway, if you dare to gamble again, I'll fight you to the death."

Deng Changqi: “…”

On the stage, Deng Shirong and other clan members finished their discussion before continuing, "Next, please invite Deng Changyu, the general manager of our passenger transport company, to tell everyone about the company's development over the past year, and then distribute dividends to everyone. Please welcome him with applause!"

Instantly, thunderous applause broke out at the scene.

Deng Changyu smiled and said, "My fellow tribesmen, the passenger transport company has developed very smoothly over the past year. The passenger load factor has exceeded 70% during the off-season. Business is getting better and better. This year's Spring Festival business is still so hot. The profit of the Spring Festival is as high as more than 1.2 million.

This year, the company will continue to increase the number of buses, and the company's revenue will definitely increase in the future.

Okay, no more nonsense, I will now distribute dividends to everyone, and those whose names are called can come up to collect their money."

After hearing this, the tribesmen cheered again. The company is now developing rapidly, which is naturally a great thing for everyone. They can just do nothing and share the money. Who wouldn't be jealous when such a good thing is told to others?

"Deng Changsheng, 2 shares, 1,200 yuan."

"Deng Yunquan, 3 shares, 1,800 yuan."

"Deng Changzhi, 4 shares, 2,400 yuan."

“…”

One by one, the clan members went up to receive the money with smiles on their faces. Each clan member was given a thick stack of money, which made the Guan clan members who were watching nearby extremely envious.

As time goes by, the more shares the clan members have, the more money they will naturally receive.

"Deng Yungui, 18 shares, 10,800 yuan."

"Deng Changxiong, 22 shares, 13,200 yuan."

"Deng Changbao, 24 shares, 14,400 yuan."

By the time the small group of people with the largest shares in each village came to power, the money they received would have exceeded 10,000 yuan.

Since the largest denomination now is 10 yuan, more than 10,000 yuan in cash is equivalent to hundreds of thousands of yuan in later generations. The visual effect of holding it in the hand is amazing. Not to mention that the Guan family members' eyes turned red, even the Deng family members were envious.

"Jiugong, 360 shares, 216,000 yuan."

As Deng Changyu read out the last name, the whole audience became excited again.

If anyone else had received so much dividends, the clan members would inevitably feel jealous, but the person who took the money was the clan leader, and every single one of the clan members was genuinely happy for the clan leader, and almost no one would be jealous.

After all, the reason why the Ye Deng family is where they are today is because of the clan leader who led everyone to build up the clan. As long as they have a conscience, no one would be jealous of the clan leader.

As for the Guan clan members who were watching, they were all so shocked that they were speechless.

He received more than 200,000 yuan in cash as a dividend in one go. The combined income of everyone in their village is not even a fraction of what he received. The gap between people is really too big!
