Chapter 349 Where did my father get so much money?
From the purchase of the land to the completion of the Wuyue Square in Nanning, Deng Shirong never told his family.
It was not until the end of last year that this matter was made public.
However, the sons, daughters and daughters-in-law only knew that Deng Shirong bought land and built a building in Nanning, but they had no idea how big the land was or what the building would look like.
Now, standing in front of this magnificently built Five Mountains Square, Deng Yuntai and others were truly stunned.
You should know that the building of Suifeng Hotel in the county seat covers an area of only more than 1,000 square meters and has only three floors; while the building in Wuyue Square covers an area of more than 3,000 square meters, which is three times more. The visual effect is naturally different.
Coupled with a huge square, it looks really shocking.
Deng Yuntai asked in disbelief, "Dad, did you really buy the land and build this Wuyue Square?"
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Of course it's true."
Having run the largest and most upscale restaurant in the county in recent years, and then the first supermarket in the county, Zhang Xiuping can be said to have seen the world, but she was still shocked when she saw the huge Five Mountains Square in front of her.
She looked at her father-in-law and asked, "Dad, how many acres of land does this Wuyue Square have?"
"It's 30 acres of land in total."
As he spoke, Deng Shirong took the lead and walked over, saying, "Don't just stand there, let's go over and take a look together!"
Deng Yuntai and the others followed with doubts on their faces. How much money would it cost to build such a beautiful building on such a large piece of land? Two or three million must be required, right? Some time ago, my father took the lead in setting up a food company in the clan and invested another two million.
In addition to the previous donations to the ancestral hall, school, etc., as well as the decoration of the houses of the Deng and Xiao families in Naye, I don’t know how much money my father spent.
The most important thing is that my father did not take any income from the restaurant or the supermarket, and let them keep it for themselves.
The only income my father actually had was dividends from the tile factory, Litchi Mountain and the passenger transport company.
These incomes are indeed very high for others, but for my father who has such high expenses, it is just a drop in the bucket. Even if the previous loan from the credit union is taken into account, it cannot make up for this huge funding gap.
So the question is, where did my father get so much money? "Boss!"
When Deng Shirong and his group approached, the two security guards guarding the door greeted them.
Deng Shirong responded, then gave a brief introduction to both parties and walked into the building with his children.
After entering the building, in addition to the reserved public areas, Deng Yuntai and others saw the renovated Yongjia Supermarket at a glance.
Entering the supermarket from the entrance, Deng Yuntai and Zhang Xiuping immediately fell in love with this supermarket because of its larger area, better decoration and more reasonable layout.
Zhang Xiuping said: "With such a large area, we need at least a hundred employees to handle it!"
Deng Yuntai continued, "Even supermarkets in the county town need dozens of employees. This place is so large, it must take more than a hundred employees to handle it all."
Zhang Xiuping said: "We have only trained a few dozen employees, which is definitely not enough."
Deng Shirong said: "A few dozen experienced employees are enough, and the rest can be recruited locally. When the time comes, they will be able to get started quickly under the guidance of the experienced employees."
Deng Yuntai said: "The purchase volume of this supermarket is much larger than that of the county town. It seems that I have to renegotiate the price with those manufacturers to see if I can push the price down further."
After looking at the first floor, several people went up to the second floor.
After seeing the decoration of the hot pot restaurant, Deng Yunzhu was stunned and said, "Dad, this is the hot pot restaurant you prepared for me?"
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Are you satisfied?"
Deng Yunzhu smiled happily and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Satisfied, very satisfied!"
Deng Yuntai, Zhang Xiuping and Zhu Junjie were also amazed. As the largest and most high-end hotel in Bobai County, the Suifeng Hotel already had a large enough space, but the space of this hot pot restaurant was larger than that of the three Suifeng Hotels combined.
At first glance, it is really scary big.
Even in later generations, not many people have seen such a large hot pot restaurant, let alone in this era.
A few people walked around the hot pot restaurant. The decoration and layout were really amazing, especially the tables, which were perfectly inlaid with gas stoves and looked very neat and beautiful. They had all eaten hot pot before, and imagined sitting at such a table and eating hot pot. It was really too comfortable.
The more Deng Yunzhu looked at it, the more satisfied she was and the more she liked it. She couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth, and it almost turned up like the crooked-mouthed Dragon King of later generations.
After walking around the hot pot restaurant, Deng Yuntai asked, "Dad, what's upstairs for?"
Deng Shirong said: "The third and fourth floors have not been renovated yet. They are reserved for Xiaohua and Xiaoheng to do business. Xiaohua will graduate from high school next year. Judging from his current grades, it is estimated that he will graduate from high school like Ah Zhu, and high school is the end of his academic career, so the renovation of the third floor should also be put on the agenda.
As for the fifth floor, it is currently being renovated for our family to live in.
Before the fifth floor is renovated, you and the security personnel of Wuyue Square and the employees of the supermarket will temporarily live in an abandoned factory not far from here. I have rented the dormitory building of this abandoned factory, and it will be no problem to temporarily accommodate a hundred or so people. "
Deng Yuntai said: "Then let's go to the station to get our luggage and then settle down first!"
Deng Shirong looked at his eldest son-in-law and asked, "Where are you and your old subordinates going to meet?"
Zhu Junjie said: "Let's meet at the train station."
Deng Shirong said: "Then let's go to the bus station to pick up the luggage first, and then go to the train station to pick them up!"
Naturally, everyone had no objection when they heard this.
…
Nanning Railway Station.
Peng Zhanping walked out of the station with his wife in excitement.
"Squad leader!"
"Old squad leader!"
"Squad Leader Peng!"
As soon as Peng Zhanping walked out of the station, he heard several very familiar voices.
He looked in the direction of the voice and saw several familiar figures. He put his luggage on the ground in surprise and walked up to each of them and punched them. He greeted them excitedly, "Squad Leader Chen, Lao Pao, and Er Gouzi."
The four of them hugged each other.
Er Gouzi asked, "Squad Leader, is that my sister-in-law?"
"Let me introduce you to my wife, Wang Yan."
Peng Zhanping introduced his comrades with a smile, and then said to his wife, "Yanzi, these are all my comrades. This is squad leader Chen, this is Lao Pao, and this is Er Gouzi."
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
"Hello!"
After the two sides greeted each other, Lao Pao said, "Squad leader, Gangzi and Lao Sun and a large group of people are in the square in front!"
"Let's go and join them together."
Soon, Peng Zhanping and his wife reunited with the main force.
Wow, there are really quite a lot of people, some are single, and some like Peng Zhanping who come with their families, there are dozens of them in total.
Because Zhu Junjie summoned all his old subordinates, these comrades were either from the same squad, the same platoon, or the same company.
There is no need to say much about those who are in the same class, and those who are in the same platoon or the same company may not be that familiar with each other, but they are like alumni of the school. Unless they really have no presence, everyone will feel that they look familiar even if they can't remember their names.
When comrades-in-arms meet again after a long separation, they naturally have endless things to talk about.
There is also no shortage of topics among family members.
I don’t know how long we chatted, but suddenly one of my comrades called out, “Company Commander!”
The veterans present had all been in the same company, and the company commander was none other than Zhu Junjie, the commander who had called them together.
Now when a comrade calls out "Company Commander", they all know that it is the Company Commander who has arrived, and they all look in the same direction.
After seeing a familiar figure, they all greeted excitedly:
"Company commander!"
"Company commander!"
"Company commander!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Seeing so many familiar old subordinates, Zhu Junjie was also a little excited and greeted them one by one.
The commotion here attracted the curious eyes of the people around.
Zhu Junjie introduced his father-in-law, eldest brother-in-law, eldest uncle's wife, and younger sister-in-law to these old subordinates, and then said: "Take your luggage now, I will take you to settle down first, and then we will have dinner together."
"Yes, Captain!"
Peng Zhanping and others responded, then each carried their luggage and followed the company commander towards their residence.
More than twenty minutes later.
Deng Shirong brought everyone to the dormitory of the abandoned factory he had rented before, as shown below:
Although this factory has become abandoned for various reasons, the factory dormitory building is still okay and not too dilapidated.
Moreover, after renting the factory dormitory, Deng Shirong also used his system space to clean the factory dormitory. Now, except for some dust, everything is clean, which surprised everyone.
After everyone was settled, it was getting late, so Deng Shirong took them to a restaurant for a meal.
During the meal, Deng Shirong told the veterans about their work content and salary, which shocked them.
The monthly salary is 50 yuan, accommodation is provided but food is not. If you do a good job, you will get a year-end bonus. Moreover, the salary increases by 20% every year. This treatment is really extremely good.
As for the content of their work, it is to protect the personal safety of several small bosses, and to protect their businesses from being collected protection fees by those bad guys in society and from being disrupted by others. These are too easy for them.
After all, the boss has formed a platoon of security personnel, all of whom are retired veterans, so their combat effectiveness is absolutely top-notch.
It is no exaggeration to say that with bare hands, a platoon of them can easily beat a hundred thugs in society. If they are armed with sticks or other weapons, a platoon of them can easily fight two or three hundred ordinary people.
Zhu Junjie directly named him, "Peng Zhanping, I'll leave this security team to you to command, is that ok?"
The old leader had already told him this in the letter, so Peng Zhanping responded without hesitation: "No problem, I will do my best to lead the team well."
…
After the security personnel arrived, Deng Shirong left his eldest son and daughter-in-law in Nanning with peace of mind, and then took his younger daughter on a train to Sichuan.
The eldest son and daughter-in-law have been running their business for many years. Now the supermarket has been renovated for them. All they need to do is let them handle the rest themselves. He doesn't need to intervene at all.
As for his younger daughter, she was just a rookie who had just graduated from school, so Deng Shirong naturally had to teach her step by step and open a hot pot restaurant from scratch.
This trip to Sichuan and Chongqing has two main purposes:
1. Purchase goods.
The chili peppers in Sichuan are indeed much better than those in Guangxi. We also have to go and receive the bean paste that we ordered last year. It is the soul of Sichuan cuisine and is also indispensable for making spicy hot pot.
Second, poaching.
When it comes to making spicy hotpot, the chefs from Sichuan and Chongqing are the best. He plans to recruit ten or eight master chefs with high salaries.
On the train, Deng Yunzhu covered her nose with a handkerchief and deeply understood why her second and third brothers were so afraid of trains. The smell of sweat on the train was too strong, as well as various other smells of pickles and even dead rats.
All in all, the smell is really bad.
Seeing this, an old lady sitting opposite couldn't help but smile and asked, "Girl, is this your first time taking a train?"
Deng Yunzhu hummed and said, "It's my first time sitting here."
The aunt said, "Just sit there a few more times and you'll get used to it."
Deng Yunzhu took away the handkerchief and breathed in a little, but found that the smell was still so bad, so she quickly covered her nose with the handkerchief again.
The old lady was amused by this and said with a smile: "It is true that the smell is a bit bad when you first get on the car, but after the car has been driving for a while, the wind will blow in and disperse the smell, and it will not be so bad anymore."
Deng Yunzhu asked: "Auntie, you sound very experienced. Do you take the train often?"
"My son works in Sichuan. I basically take some time every year to visit him. I have taken the train quite a few times."
At this point, the aunt asked, "Girl, where are you and your daughter going?"
Deng Yunzhu said: "We are also going to Sichuan."
The aunt asked, "Are you going to visit relatives or something?"
Deng Shirong continued, "I'm going to do something over there. Are you from Guangxi?"
The aunt said, "Yes, I am from Baise, Guangxi."
"Baise is a good place..."
The two of them started chatting back and forth.
Taking a train is quite boring these days. Those who are prepared will bring a book to pass the time, while those who are illiterate or have no interest in reading can only chat with others to pass the time.
As the train started moving, gusts of wind blew in, finally blowing away the strong smell of sweat in the carriage.
Although the smell still remained, at least Deng Yunzhu no longer had to cover her nose.
Two days later.
The train finally arrived in Chengdu, Sichuan.
After getting off the train, Deng Yunzhu felt like she was alive again. She couldn't help but ask, "Dad, I won't be taking the train here to buy goods often in the future, right?"
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "That's not necessary. Just pick a suitable supplier this time and discuss the payment method. Then call the merchant and ask them to ship the goods directly."
Deng Yunzhu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."
