Chapter 329 This is a great idea
Taking advantage of the days when longan, ground pineapple and jackfruit, three southern fruits, were selling well in Beijing, Deng Shirong visited his seven courtyards again and used the special abilities of his newly developed system space to clean up all the dust and dirt in the seven courtyards.
To put it simply, it is to use your mind to collect all the dust and dirt into the system space, and then find a place to throw them away later.
Seeing the seven newly renovated courtyards, Deng Shirong felt a little amused. This matchmaking system was not only turned into a transportation system by him, but now it was also turned into a cleaning system. It was really something.
Originally, when I came here this time, I thought that if there was any need, I would give the courtyard house to my second son first.
But now his second son has a two-bedroom apartment assigned by his company, which is fully equipped with various supporting facilities and is much more comfortable to live in than a courtyard house, so he did not mention the courtyard house. Anyway, he bought these seven courtyard houses in the first place to provide security for his seven children. No matter what happens to them in the future, each of them has a courtyard house, which means they will have a net worth of hundreds of millions.
If we really talk about living conditions, the unmodified courtyard house cannot compare with the well-equipped house like the one in the Planning Commission's residential compound.
Therefore, after seeing that his son's accommodation conditions were not bad, Deng Shirong chose to keep it secret. It was also like keeping a trump card that he could play when needed.
That afternoon, after taking out the delicious food from the system space and having a full meal, Deng Shirong walked out of one of the courtyards and strolled around.
After walking for a few minutes, he saw a few middle-aged and elderly people arguing under an old locust tree. Deng Shirong went over to watch the fun, but when he got closer and listened, he found that they were discussing the content of "Journey to the West".
When talking about "Journey to the West", one of the four great classics, we have to mention the TV series that has influenced several generations.
During the prime time at 19:48 on the evening of the first day of the Chinese New Year this year, as the cheerful, novel, elegant and grand overture sounded, "Journey to the West" with a brand new title officially hit the screen.
However, the "Journey to the West" broadcast this year did not broadcast the entire series, because only the first eleven episodes of the twenty-five episodes were completed, so only these eleven episodes were broadcast. It was not until 1988 that "Journey to the West" was truly broadcast in its entirety.
Although it only has eleven episodes, the appeal of "Journey to the West" is unquestionable. It is truly popular among men, women, young and old. No one can resist the super charm of "Journey to the West" in this era. As the stunning opening music of "Cloud Palace Swift Sound" sounded, no one had the mind to do anything else, and everyone rushed to the TV to watch this TV series that made people unable to stop.
Deng Shirong still remembers that in his previous life, his eldest grandson was locked at home by his mother to do his homework. However, after hearing the soundtrack of "Cloud Palace Swift Sound" outside, he quickly thought of a way and ran to the roof of the second floor and asked his friends in the village to bring a ladder.
After he climbed down the ladder, he ran to his neighbor's house to watch "Journey to the West" until the show was over, then he climbed up the ladder again. It can be said that he did it without anyone noticing, and even fooled his mother, who thought he had been staying at home doing his homework!
The middle-aged and elderly people were naturally not discussing the TV series of "Journey to the West", but were discussing some plots in the famous novel "Journey to the West" that satirized the society at that time. It was obvious that these people were knowledgeable and could analyze the contents of the book very well.
As they chatted, one of the middle-aged men asked, "Mr. He, it is said that Sun Wukong can travel 108,000 miles with one somersault, so why can't he fly out of the palm of Tathagata Buddha? What is the deep meaning of the author's design? Is he satirizing something?"
Hearing this, Deng Shirong remembered a very interesting explanation he had seen in later generations, and he could not help but continue: "In my opinion, the author's description here should not have any profound meaning. It is normal that Sun Wukong cannot fly out of the palm of Tathagata Buddha."
When Deng Shirong came over, several middle-aged and elderly people had already seen him. They saw him standing by and listening quietly. At that time, everyone was talking excitedly, so they just nodded to each other and continued the discussion.
Hearing his sudden opinion at this time, several middle-aged and elderly people were not surprised. If they were not interested in this topic, who would be willing to stand by and listen to their discussion!
The middle-aged man who asked the question asked curiously, "Comrade, why do you say it is normal for Sun Wukong to be unable to fly out of the palm of Tathagata Buddha?"
The others also looked at Deng Shirong, ready to listen to his opinion.
Deng Shirong was not afraid of the stage and said, "Before answering this question, let's first calculate how far Sun Wukong's somersault is equivalent to now?"
Hearing this question, everyone was stunned.
Before they could think about it, Deng Shirong continued, "Everyone knows that Sun Wukong can travel 108,000 miles with one somersault, and when Sun Wukong made the bet with Tathagata Buddha, it had been 500 years since Tang Seng rescued him from the mountain. Tang Seng was from the Tang Dynasty, and 500 years before the Tang Dynasty was the Han Dynasty.
In other words, Sun Wukong made the bet with Buddha during the Han Dynasty, and one li in the Han Dynasty was equivalent to 415.8 meters today, or 0.415 kilometers.
So one somersault by Sun Wukong is equivalent to 45,000 kilometers today."
Hearing this, several middle-aged and elderly people, led by Mr. He, looked at each other in bewilderment, not understanding what Deng Shirong's calculations had to do with the question just now. Deng Shirong continued, "Now that we know the distance of Sun Wukong's somersault, let's take a look at the place where Sun Wukong and Tathagata Buddha made the bet. It is recorded in Journey to the West that the place where Sun Wukong and Tathagata Buddha made the bet was in the Heavenly Palace. What exactly is that Heavenly Palace?
Since there are people living in the Heavenly Palace, it should be within the Earth's atmosphere. The atmosphere is within 1,000 kilometers from the ground. This 1,000-kilometer-thick atmosphere is divided into 33 heavens by Taoism. Excluding the three heavens of Taishang Laojun and the topmost Daluo Heaven, the next one is the Heavenly Palace.
Therefore, it can be concluded that the Heavenly Palace should be located in the 29th Heaven."
At this time, Mr. He and others were almost confused by Deng Shirong.
However, after hearing this, they also vaguely realized that Deng Shirong was interpreting the reason why Sun Wukong could not fly out of the palm of Tathagata Buddha from an angle they could not expect, so they all listened attentively, fearing that they would miss any details.
Deng Shirong was getting more and more excited as he spoke: "So, the distance between Tiangong and the ground is 1,000 kilometers divided by 33 and multiplied by 29, which is about 800 kilometers.
The distance between Tiangong and the center of the earth is 800 kilometers plus the radius of the earth, 6370 kilometers, which equals 7170 kilometers.
The distance traveled by Tiangong around the earth can be calculated using the circumference formula 2πr, which is 2πr=2 times 3.14 times 7170 kilometers, which equals 45027.6 kilometers, or approximately 45,000 kilometers.
Through this series of calculations, we will find that this distance is exactly equal to the distance of one somersault of Sun Wukong!
Because the earth is round, when Sun Wukong started from the Heavenly Palace, one somersault covered exactly 108,000 miles, which means he returned to the starting point.
So, this is the real reason why Sun Wukong cannot fly out of the palm of Tathagata Buddha. "
When this absurd conclusion came out, all the middle-aged and elderly people present were stunned! Mr. He said in amazement: "Comrade, it's amazing that you can think of this angle and solve this problem perfectly through mathematical calculations. It's amazing!"
The other people also came to their senses, their faces filled with amazement.
In the words of later generations, this answer was so imaginative that it really exceeded the imagination of everyone present and was truly amazing.
Everyone naturally knows that this is nonsense, but the key is that Deng Shirong can make it clear and logical, which is also a skill.
Deng Shirong laughed and said, "You're too kind. This is someone else's idea. I just happened to use it now."
The middle-aged man who asked the question praised repeatedly: "Which mathematician is so talented?"
Deng Shirong said: "I also heard about it occasionally, and I don't know who came up with it."
Another person sighed: "They say that if you learn math, physics and chemistry well, you won't be afraid to travel the world. This is indeed true!"
Deng Shirong also joked: "Yes, if Sun Wukong had learned mathematics well, he wouldn't have been suppressed for five hundred years!"
Several people couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.
Next, the few returned to the previous topic and continued to discuss the deeper meanings hidden in certain plots in "Journey to the West".
Deng Shirong, who had nothing to do, also stayed to discuss with them, because in his later years in his previous life, he would read novels and watch videos every day after eating. The content he received in that era of information explosion is not comparable to that of this era of information blockade.
Therefore, from time to time, Deng Shirong would come up with some novel ideas, which would amaze He and others.
They chatted until it got dark, and then they dispersed with a sense of unfulfilled desire.
…
The next day.
A high-end restaurant near Dongfeng Market.
Zhou Shengli, Wang Dadan and Tian Chunzhi invited Deng Shirong to dinner.
The three of them have now fully realized the importance of Boss Deng. Boss Deng holds an absolute dominant position in the business they are cooperating in, so their attitude during this meal is more enthusiastic than before, comparable to the way local officials entertained imperial envoys in the past.
After eating and drinking, Zhou Shengli and his two companions paid off the money they owed to Deng Shirong for the goods.
The money was bundled in bundles, so Deng Shirong certainly wouldn't count them individually. He just needed to count the bundles that were sufficient.
After paying the full amount, Tian Chunzhi took out a house sales contract from her bag and handed it to Deng Shirong, saying with a smile: "Boss Deng, you are our benefactor. Under your care over the past few years, the three of us have made a lot of money.
Seeing that you have been staying in a guesthouse when you come to Beijing these years, the three of us have discussed it these days and decided to buy this house and give it to you, so that you will have a place to stay when you come to Beijing in the future, and you don’t have to stay in a guesthouse anymore.”
Deng Shirong took the house sale contract and took a look at it. He found that this was a courtyard house with two entrances. The house address was not far from Dongfeng Market. He was surprised, but also felt that this was reasonable.
This time he arrived more than ten days later than in previous years and he clearly felt the change in the attitude of Boss Zhou and the other two towards him. It was obvious to him that they were afraid of losing him as their only supplier.
After all, for this kind of unique business, Deng Shirong can change partners at any time as long as he wants.
Once Deng Shirong left them behind, this business would be completely over for them. It would be impossible to find another supplier with such strong strength.
Therefore, when they felt nervous, they thought of giving Deng Shirong such an expensive gift.
The reason why they chose a house as this gift is also very easy to understand. Although they have been cooperating with Deng Shirong for several years, their understanding of Deng Shirong is very limited. They only know that Deng Shirong is from the south, and they know nothing else.
Just like this time, Deng Shirong was more than ten days late, and they could do nothing but worry.
If they could give the house away, then they and Boss Deng would at least have a contact address, which would make them feel much more at ease than they do now.
Deng Shirong's mental age in two lifetimes has reached 94 years old. With just a thought, he figured out the thoughts of Zhou Shengli and the other two.
If he would continue this business, then he could just take over the house, but the problem is that Deng Shirong himself doesn't know when he will stop this business, so he can't take over the house. Otherwise, if he takes someone else's thing and suddenly doesn't want to do it after three or two years, it will be embarrassing for everyone.
Thinking of this, Deng Shirong handed the contract back to Tian Chunzhi and said with a smile: "Boss Tian, Boss Zhou, Boss Wang, I appreciate your kindness, but I can't take this house. I only come here once a year, and the rest of the time I stay in the south. It would be a waste to give me this house."
Zhou Shengli said, "Boss Deng, what's the waste? If you think it's difficult to take care of, the three of us will take care of it for you. No matter when you come to stay, we will ensure that the house is clean."
Tian Chunzhi nodded repeatedly and said, "Old Zhou is right. Leave the sanitation issues of the house to us."
Deng Shirong waved his hand and said, "Really? I'm from the south and I'm not used to living in the north. I only come here for a few days throughout the year. There's really no need to build a house here. You should keep it for yourselves!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Wang Dabao replied, "Boss Deng, we all have our own houses. Now that we have bought this house, you can just take it!"
Deng Shirong shook his head and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but I really don't need this house. If I wanted to settle down in Beijing, I would have bought a house a few years ago, so you don't have to be so polite."
Zhou Shengli and the other two couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this. They really didn't expect that they couldn't give away the house. No one would believe it if they told others about it.
This was the house they had bought at a huge price, and they had not attached any requirements. They just wanted to deepen their relationship. It was really beyond their expectation that Boss Deng would not accept it.
However, because of this incident, they have a higher opinion of Boss Deng in their hearts. He is the man who can truly do great things!
After that, the two sides chatted for a while before Deng Shirong took the money and left.
…
The next day, Deng Shirong went to Tianjin, and a few days later he went to Jinan and sold all the longan, ground pineapple and jackfruit in his hands.
Then, we headed to the last city that had been decided long ago - Shanghai.
Shanghai has been prosperous for hundreds of years. Our party was born here. It is a vital city to our country both now and in the future.
This was the first time that Deng Shirong had come to Shanghai in his two lifetimes.
Since he had decided to take advantage of the time, Deng Shirong was not in a hurry to do business. Instead, he spent a few days touring Shanghai in a cursory manner. Then he discovered that Pudong, which would become famous in later generations, was now still a deserted place.
In an instant, Deng Shirong was moved.
If you buy a large piece of land in Pudong now and then sell it when Pudong undergoes large-scale development, you can probably make a lot of money.
However, Deng Shirong didn't know whether this could be done. Besides, his current financial situation did not allow him to be so extravagant. It would not be too late to think about this after a few years when his finances were better.
While visiting Shanghai, Deng Shirong had already found out the selling price of lychees.
Taking the market selling price of lychees in Bobai County as an example, as long as they are fresh and not sour, no matter what variety they are, they can be sold for 2 yuan per catty. Such a high price can be obtained in the lychee producing areas, not to mention being sold to other places.
From the price, it can be seen that lychee is worthy of being recognized as the "king of fruits" and there are indeed few fruits that can compare with it.
Shanghai does not grow lychees. The lychees sold every year are basically transported from Wenzhou. If the transportation cost is farther, it will be too high.
After all, the shelf life of lychees is very short, so there is a saying that "the color changes in one day, the fragrance changes in two days, the taste changes in three days, and the color, fragrance and taste are gone in the fourth day." Unless air transportation is carried out regardless of cost, it is difficult to transport fresh lychees from the production areas such as Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi to Shanghai, whether by land or sea.
Only because Wenzhou is relatively close can lychees be transported here by ship.
However, no matter how close it is, it takes at least two to three days from picking lychees to transporting them to Shanghai. Even if the merchants preserve them properly, the lychees will still lose some of their flavor and cannot be as fresh and delicious as those in the place of origin.
Even so, the retail price of these lychees is as high as more than 3 yuan.
In this era, it can be said to be a very luxurious fruit.
Originally, Deng Shirong planned to sell all 500 tons of lychees in Shanghai, but after finding out the selling price of lychees, he gave up the idea. Lychees were so expensive that no matter how rich Shanghai people were, it would be difficult to sell so many in a short period of time.
It seems that if I want to sell these 500 tons of lychees, I have to go to more places.
Deng Shirong is experienced in fruit sales and knows that as long as he finds a fruit wholesaler with strong sales channels to cooperate with, the shipment volume will be very large.
As for how to quickly find fruit wholesalers with strong sales channels, Deng Shirong naturally has his own way.
A few days later, Deng Shirong reached a cooperation with a powerful fruit wholesaler in Shanghai and sold 300 tons of Guiwei lychees at a price of 2.5 yuan per catty.
This wholesale price is indeed very high, but there is a reason for it. Guiwei lychee is one of the best lychee varieties, and its price is higher than other varieties. In addition, it is already the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and the lychee season has long passed. The lychees on the market at this time are a unique business.
Therefore, it is normal that the wholesale price is high.
Anyway, Deng Shirong doesn't plan to repeat this kind of time-differing business in the same place, so it's naturally impossible to sell it cheaply.
After selling 300 tons of Guiwei lychees, Deng Shirong rushed to Wuxi and Nanjing without stopping, and sold 100 tons of Guiwei lychees in each of these two cities using the same method and at the same wholesale price.
At this point, all the fruit has been sold.
830 tons of jackfruit were all sold at a price of 1.5 yuan per catty, with a total sales of 2,490,000 yuan.
1,200 tons of pineapples were all sold at a price of 0.65 yuan per catty, with a total sales of 1,560,000 yuan.
270 tons of longan were all sold at a price of 2.3 yuan per catty, with a total sales of 1,242,000 yuan.
500 tons of lychees were all sold at a price of 2.5 yuan per catty, with a total sales of 2,500,000 yuan.
After deducting the purchase price of 1,367,600 yuan and some miscellaneous expenses, the total profit from this trip was more than 6.42 million yuan.
His cash, which was already in jeopardy, surged again to more than 7.79 million, greatly alleviating his financial pressure.
The main reason is that there are too many places that require money. After returning, I have to repay the 800,000 loan from the credit union, and the renovation of the seven-story building in the Ye Deng community requires 2 million. In addition, the more than 370,000 yuan donation to the ancestral hall has not been redeemed. The total expenditure here is more than 3.17 million yuan.
The renovation of Nanning Wuyue Square requires a large sum of money, and money must be reserved for purchasing goods next year, so although the cash looks scary, it is actually not easy to spend.
However, after the renovation of Nanning Wuyue Square is completed, he does not plan to build a building like he does now even if he encloses land in the future.
Anyway, he has made arrangements for his seven children. He has also planned their development routes and provided them with start-up capital. The future development will be up to them. Deng Shirong does not plan to do everything himself like he does now.
He thought so, but Deng Shirong himself didn’t know whether he would be able to stay idle by then.
…
When he returned to Nanning again, Deng Shirong first went to Wuyue Square to take a look.
Deng Shirong spotted one of the veterans patrolling the square and nodded with satisfaction.
As a veteran of this era, he is indeed diligent and responsible in his work. Even if his boss doesn't come for several months, he can still stick to his post. This is very rare.
Deng Shirong pays their wages every six months, so they don't have to travel to Nanning every month.
Seeing the boss appear, the veteran was very happy and took the initiative to report his work to the boss. In fact, there was nothing much to report. It was a very simple thing to look after a building with nothing on it as long as you didn't be lazy.
Deng Shirong asked him to gather the other two veterans, paid them their second half salary in advance, and encouraged them before taking a bus to Nanning Architectural Design Institute to talk with Vice President Huang about the decoration of other floors of the Deng's Community in Bobai Naye.
