Chapter 346 Food Company Established

10 am.

At the entrance of the old ancestral hall, the Deng family of Naye was holding a scholarship meeting.

This scholarship society has been held every summer and winter vacation since Deng Shirong took over as the clan leader, and the clan members are already very familiar with the entire process.

The preliminary preparations and registration have already been completed. The meeting now is just to commend and reward the students of the clan school who have been admitted to high school, technical secondary school, junior college, university, and those who rank in the top ten in the class in their final exam results.

Soon, the scholarship program completed the relevant procedures, and all the students from the clan middle school who should be honored had been honored.

After these outstanding students in the tribe received their awards and stepped down from the stage, all the tribesmen looked at the tribe leader with anticipation.

Seeing the expectant eyes of the tribe members, Deng Shirong didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "Today's scholarship meeting will not only commend the outstanding students in the tribe, but also do something extremely important and something that everyone has been looking forward to for a long time, which is to raise funds to establish a food company."

"It's finally here, I can't wait!"

"The money has been prepared long ago, just waiting for this day."

"I missed out on the passenger transport company before, as I only invested in two shares. This time I'm going to go all out and invest all my assets in it. I must acquire more shares in the food company."

“…”

The tribesmen who had tasted the sweetness of success in the passenger transport company were now excited.

Ever since the clan leader announced at the passenger transport company's profit distribution meeting that he would set up a food company, they have been waiting for this day. During this period of time, most clan members have tried their best to raise money, and some have even gone to credit unions to apply for loans.

As for borrowing money from relatives and friends, it goes without saying that this is what the vast majority of people in the tribe do.

On the stage, Deng Shirong paused for a moment, then continued, "I've said before that the shares of the food company, like the passenger transport company, are priced at 1,000 yuan per share. The specific number of shares you want to buy depends on your own situation.

Now, you can report the number, and after reporting the number, you must pay the money within a week. "

"Deng Changsheng, 18 shares."

"Deng Changbo, 16 shares."

"Deng Yunsong, 20 shares."

“…”

As soon as Deng Shirong finished speaking, the tribesmen began to count impatiently, and there was naturally someone on the stage who was responsible for recording.

Before the passenger transport company was established, although many members of the tribe admired the tribe leader's ability to make money, they did not have much hope for the passenger transport company established by collective funds. Therefore, many people invested based on their own financial capabilities. Some members of the tribe had four or five thousand yuan in their hands, but in the end they only invested one or two shares, and used the rest of the money to build houses and marry daughters-in-law.

When the passenger transport company was up and running and started to distribute dividends to everyone after making a huge profit, these tribesmen regretted it so much that they slapped their thighs until they were swollen.

If they had invested the money they used to build the new house into the passenger transport company, they would have received an extra two thousand dollars a year, and the amount was increasing every year. The loss was really too great.

Now that the opportunity has come again, most of the tribesmen have learned their lesson and have invested all their savings in this food company.

The result of this was that as everyone continued to count, almost all of them were more than 10 shares. Those tribesmen with a slightly higher cultural level couldn't help but smile bitterly when they saw this.

As most of the tribesmen have increased their shares, the value of their shares has been diluted. Except for a few tribesmen who have not kept up, the shares of other tribesmen are actually about the same as those of the passenger transport company.

After most of the tribesmen reported their numbers, those tribesmen who had been at the top of the rich list in various villages in recent years also began to report their numbers. Their actions undoubtedly suppressed the vast majority of the tribesmen.

The first person to report the number was Deng Yunqiang from Naye Village. His family's economic conditions were second only to the clan leader and Deng Yungui in the village. Moreover, he and his son had visited the clan leader to ask for his opinion, so their offer was naturally extraordinary. They shouted directly, "Deng Yunqiang, 120 shares."

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused a small sensation among the crowd.

"Oh my god, Uncle Yunqiang's financial strength is too strong!"

"How much are these 120 shares?"

"120 shares is 120,000 yuan."

"That's amazing. He spent 120,000 yuan in one go. Where did Uncle Yunqiang get so much money?"

"Go to a credit union to get a loan. If you don't go to a credit union to get a loan, how many people in our Deng family can come up with 120,000 yuan?"

"Ah? No way, you even went to a credit union to take out a loan?"

"You don't know that, do you?"

"Alas, I really didn't know. Why didn't I think of this? I've lost a lot this time."

“…”

Hearing the discussions of his fellow tribesmen, Deng Yunqiang couldn't help but smile.

It was not easy to collect the 100,000 yuan. He and his in-laws went to a credit union to apply for a loan, each borrowing 40,000 yuan. Together with the cash from both families, he also borrowed some money from relatives and friends, and only then did he manage to collect the 120,000 yuan.

There is no way. Credit control is indeed not what it used to be. Before, it was easy for one person to borrow 40,000 yuan, or even 400,000 yuan. But now it is different. There are all kinds of audits, and the loan amount is not as high as before.

Of course, it is not just him who has difficulty in getting a loan; other tribesmen have it difficult as well. This is the main reason why, except for Deng Yunqiang, no other tribesman has yet acquired a stake exceeding three digits.

Soon, after Deng Yunqiang triggered a small climax, Deng Yungui also made a move, also shouting loudly: "Deng Yungui, 130 shares."

Deng Yungui is one of the richest men in the entire Naye Deng family. The fact that he could invest so much money was not too surprising to the other clan members.

Next, the wealthy people from various villages made their moves, with the lowest being more than 80 shares. The one at the top was Deng Changbao from Jimaoling, who directly invested 280 shares, which made the clan members sigh in admiration, saying that he was worthy of being the richest man after the clan head, and was indeed impressive.

Following closely behind was Bangba's Deng Changxiong. This guy, who ran a bamboo weaving factory, had financial resources that were unmatched by ordinary clan members. He directly invested 260 shares, which was not much different from Deng Changbao.

"Deng Changyuan, 100 shares."

This number report also attracted the attention of the tribesmen.

"Amazing! Chang Yuan has really made it!"

"It seems that the clothing store he opened with A-Dong really made a lot of money!"

"Since the separation, this kid's life has been getting more and more prosperous."

“…”

In the crowd, Deng Changyuan's elder brother and sister-in-law both looked unhappy.

Since the separation, the gap between the two brothers has been getting bigger and bigger. The couple scraped together only 10,000 yuan and invested in 10 shares, while their younger brother Deng Changyuan scraped together 100,000 yuan and invested in 100 shares, which is 10 times theirs.

This gap is really too big, so big that it cannot be overcome.

The couple's mentality now can be best described by a saying from later generations: "They are afraid that their brothers will suffer, and they are also afraid that their brothers will drive a Land Rover." Even if other clan members bought 1,000 shares, they would not feel bad, but they would be unhappy if their own brothers bought 100 shares.

…

Just as the count was coming to an end, Deng Changyu from Shanggaohang stood up and shouted, "Deng Changyu, 120 shares."

This amount of shares is certainly not comparable to those of Deng Changbao and Deng Changxiong, two famous wealthy men in the Deng family, but it is already more impressive than 99% of the clan members, which naturally attracted discussions from many clan members.

"What's going on? Which village is this Deng Changyu brother from? How come I haven't heard of him before with such great financial resources?"

"I haven't heard of him either. Does anyone know which village this brother is from?"

"We are from Shanggaoxing Village. His financial resources were only average in the village before. How could he come up with so much money?"

“…”

There are more than 3,000 members of the Naye Deng clan, scattered in more than 20 natural villages. Many members do not know each other. Only relatively famous members like Deng Changbao, Deng Changxiong, and Deng Yungui are known to most of the clan members.

Before Deng Changyu, only the people in his own village and two or three nearby villages knew him. Few people from more distant villages knew him.

Soon, no one was counting anymore, apparently everyone who needed to count had already counted.

After discussing Deng Changyu for a while, the clan members turned their attention to the clan leader Deng Shirong. They all wanted to know how many shares the clan leader wanted to buy.

Under the gaze of the tribesmen, Deng Shirong stood up and said, "Deng Shirong, 2,000 shares."

When these words came out, all the tribesmen were stunned!

The scene was quiet for several seconds before it suddenly became lively.

"Oh my god, how much are 2,000 shares?"

"I'm a little bit unsure about the math, so if anyone knows how to do it, please do it and see how much these 2,000 shares are worth."

"2,000 shares is 2 million."

"The clan leader is the clan leader, it's amazing, this is 2 million!"

"The clan leader's financial resources are truly unfathomable!"

"I thought the clan leader would invest at most 700,000 or 800,000 yuan, but I didn't expect him to invest 2 million yuan at once. It's really shocking!"

“…”

Not to mention ordinary members of the clan, even members of the clan such as Deng Changbao, Deng Changxiong and Deng Yungui, who had relatively strong economic strength, were full of admiration for the clan leader Deng Shirong. In this era, it was truly amazing for a private individual to come up with two million to invest.

Deng Shirong ignored the tribesmen's shock and looked at the person in charge of statistics and asked, "How many shares are there in total?"

"Jiugong, the total is 14,588 shares."

Deng Shirong nodded upon hearing this. This outpouring of support from his clansmen was somewhat beyond his expectations. Apart from his two million investment, they still managed to raise more than twelve million. This number was truly impressive, and it also represented that the clansmen's trust in him had reached its limit.

As far as he knew, many clan members had gone to the credit union to apply for loans. Not to mention ordinary clan members, even clan members with relatively strong financial resources such as Deng Changbao and Deng Changxiong had gone to the credit union to apply for loans. Otherwise, with their current financial strength, it would be impossible for them to raise more than 200,000 yuan.

Extreme trust brings enormous pressure. Fortunately, Deng Shirong has a hook, so there is no need to panic.

Deng Shirong looked at the tribesmen and said, "My fellow tribesmen, now that the funds have been raised, I plan to let Deng Changyu take on the role of general manager of this food company. I know that many people have only just met him today and don't know his background, but I can say responsibly that he should be the most suitable candidate."

When these words were spoken, all the clan members were very surprised. They did not expect that the clan leader would choose Deng Changyu to be the general manager of this food company.

However, it must be said that Deng Shirong, the clan leader, does have a high prestige in the clan. Even though most of the clan members only got to know Deng Changyu today, since the clan leader said that he is the most suitable candidate, the clan members will have no objection.

Deng Yungui was the first to express his opinion: "Uncle Jiu, there is no need to say more about your vision of people. Since you think Deng Changyu is suitable, then we all support him."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Deng Changbao also nodded and said, "Yes, Jiugong, we all trust your vision, and with you at the helm of the company's development, it will definitely be foolproof."

Following Deng Yungui and Deng Changbao’s statements, other clan members followed suit and expressed unanimous support.

Deng Shirong looked at Deng Changyu and said, "Changyu, say a few words to everyone!"

Deng Changyu nodded and stood up and said, "First of all, I would like to thank Jiugong for trusting me and letting me be the general manager of this food company. I am not familiar with most of the tribesmen, and I know that you support me because of Jiugong's face.

I have nothing to say now, there is a long way to go, my fellow tribesmen, just wait and see how I perform in the future!"

This left a good impression on everyone.

This clan meeting ended here.

…

The next day.

A bus overturned at the first turning of Dapulingjing. A bus travelling from Hepu County to Bobai County overturned due to inertia due to excessive speed when turning, causing 7 passengers on the bus to be seriously injured and 30 to be slightly injured.

It's a blessing in disguise that no one died.

The news of this accident spread throughout the entire Naye Deng clan, making everyone in the clan feel nervous.

Deng Shirong also attached great importance to this matter. He took a bus directly to the county town and convened a meeting of all the staff of the passenger transport company.

At the meeting, Deng Shirong asked directly: "Everyone, what do you think about the rollover accident at Dapulingjing today?"

General Manager Deng Changyu said solemnly: "We must learn from this and ensure that we do not exceed the speed limit while ensuring that we do not exceed the passenger limit. Driving safely is above all else."

Other managers and drivers also expressed their thoughts. Their safety awareness is much stronger than that of drivers of this era. After all, Deng Shirong stipulated from the very beginning that all the company's buses must not be overloaded, and the company culture promoted was that safe driving is above all else.

This is also the main reason why the passenger transport company has never had any safety accidents since its establishment.

Deng Shirong nodded and emphasized again: "What should be said has already been said a long time ago, and everyone has been doing a good job all along, but I still want to add one sentence today, it is better to stop for three minutes than to rush for one second. Our company is getting better and better now. I hope that all drivers can always keep the safety regulations in mind and pay attention to driving safety.

This is not a safety issue for just yourself, but a safety issue for everyone in the car. It is equivalent to the lives of dozens of people being in your hands, and these dozens of people involve dozens of families. If an accident happens due to your momentary negligence, not only your own life will be in danger, but the lives of dozens of other people will also be in danger. It can be said that no matter how much attention you pay, it cannot be too much.

Therefore, every time you drive, you must be aware of safety. If you find that you cannot concentrate or feel sleepy, you should immediately change the driver. Don't try to be stubborn in this regard."

"Don't worry, Jiugong. We always attach great importance to driving safety."

"What Jiuzu said is absolutely right. We have been driving for several years and occasionally encounter cars that have accidents on the road. We have also heard of many car accidents. The reason for these stories is most likely that the drivers do not pay enough attention to safe driving. We really need to learn from them."

"I have always remembered what you said, Jiu Zu!"

“…”

After the meeting, Deng Shirong reminded Deng Changyu again, asking him to gather everyone for meetings every once in a while to emphasize the issue of safe driving and to remind them frequently to ensure that the family's passenger transport company would never have accidents.

Deng Changyu also attaches great importance to this.

The most feared thing for passenger transport operators is safety accidents, especially for self-employed individuals. As long as a safety accident occurs, they are basically finished. Even if they can survive it, they will be seriously injured and it is unknown how long it will take to recover.

Although passenger transport companies are more stress-resistant than individual businesses, it would still be quite troublesome if an accident occurred.

…

The food company's starting capital is nearly 15 million. Deng Shirong has already made all the preliminary preparations. Now that the company is established and the funds are in place, the company's progress can be described as rapid.

The first thing, of course, is to register a company. Deng Shirong has already informed the relevant personnel. He only needs to submit the information and it will be approved soon.

Then, the company took over the precious land where the treasure of treasures was located in the future in the name of the company to build a factory.

Of course, Deng Shirong didn’t have to do these things himself. Instead, he just told the general manager Deng Changyu about the food company’s early development plan and let him implement it. If there was a shortage of manpower, he would give priority to recruiting within the clan.

Deng Shirong was busy with his own business. He bought all the jackfruits and ground pineapples, and then all the longans. Then he could set out to sell the goods.

During this period, several well-developed townships in Bobai County, including Yasan Township, Santan Township, Wangmao Township, Ningtan Township, Yingqiao Township, Shapi Township, Songwang Township, Shuiming Township and Nalin Township, were changed into towns.

Among the several townships that were converted into towns, Shuangwang Township was not included.

Although Shuangwang Township in this life has been influenced by Deng Shirong and has undergone considerable changes compared to the previous life, because Deng's passenger transport company was opened in the county seat instead of Shuangwang, there is no enterprise that can take on the responsibility as the whole Shuangwang. Its influence is indeed not as great as the above-mentioned townships, so it is not surprising that it has not been changed into a town.

It is worth mentioning that some time ago, Bobai also added seven townships: Kemu, Dali, Yong'an, Hejiang, Jingkou, Sanyu and Huangling.

At this point, the county has a total of 17 townships and 15 towns, adding up to a total of 32 townships and towns. It can only be said that it is worthy of being one of the top three most populous counties in the country.

…

afternoon.

Sui Feng Hotel.

Deng Shirong was having dinner with his son, daughter-in-law, daughter, son-in-law and in-laws.

Ever since Deng Shirong gave the restaurant to his eldest daughter as a dowry, his in-laws no longer lived in the police station’s staff quarters. Except for breakfast, they ate lunch and dinner in the restaurant.

After finishing his meal, Deng Shirong walked towards the door holding his cigarette holder. When he reached the cashier counter, he heard the phone ringing, so he picked it up and said, "Hello!"

The second son Deng Yunheng's voice came from the phone: "Dad, it's me, have you eaten?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "We just finished our meal. Have you eaten yet?"

Deng Yunheng said: "I just finished eating too."

The father and son chatted for a while, and Deng Yunheng said, "Dad, I have good news for you. I am no longer working in Beijing, but in Fuqing County, XX Province."

Deng Shirong's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Is there a suitable vacancy there?"

Deng Yunheng hummed and said, "Executive Vice President, the second-in-command of the county government."

Deng Shirong said happily: "Great, when did it happen?"

Deng Yunheng said, "It's been more than a month. I wanted to tell you earlier, but I just arrived here and have so many things to do at work. I planned to tell you after I sorted them out, so I kept delaying it until now."

Deng Shirong said: "As a local leader, every decision you make affects hundreds of thousands of people, so you must be cautious when working, and you cannot rush to achieve results. You must proceed steadily and make decisions that are in the interests of the people based on local conditions."

Deng Yunheng said, "Dad, I know. After more than a month of sorting it out, I already have an idea in my mind."

Deng Shirong said, "Well, as long as you have the plan in mind, I am taking the lead in setting up a food company in my clan. We are currently building an instant noodle production factory. Once it develops, we will definitely set up branches in other cities. See if this can help you. If it can, I will give priority to opening a branch in Fuqing County."

Deng Yunheng said: "Of course this is helpful. It can create jobs, and the purchase of raw materials is also beneficial to the local people. However, the premise of all this is to ensure the profits of the clan company. You can't build a factory here just to help me."

Deng Shirong said, "Don't worry about this. I know what's going on. Once our company's instant noodles become famous, I'll discuss this with you in detail."

Deng Yunheng still admired his father's business ability. Since he said so, it proved that setting up a branch factory here would definitely not have much impact on the food company. He smiled and said, "Okay, then we'll talk about it after you make this instant noodles famous."

Next, the father and son chatted for a few more words, and then Deng Shirong wrote down his second son’s office contact number before hanging up the phone.

Because Deng Shirong spoke loudly, his family members and in-laws sitting nearby heard it.

After all, Zhu Junjie is the director of the Public Security Bureau, and his political sensitivity is much stronger than others. He listened to what his father-in-law said and vaguely guessed something. When he saw his father-in-law hung up the phone, he asked, "Dad, is it Yunheng who called? Has he been transferred to a local position?"

Deng Shirong nodded and smiled: "Yes, he has now been transferred to Fuqing County in XX Province and is already a deputy county magistrate!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was instantly boiling!
