Chapter 359: Earning over 10 million, the ancestral hall is completed [7,000 words]
Capital city.
At a certain intersection in a certain district.
A fruit vendor shouted loudly: "Dear men and women passing by, this year should be the last time for you to buy longan, jackfruit, and ground pineapple in Beijing. From next year on, if you want to eat these three kinds of fruits, you will have to go to the south. You will definitely not be able to eat them in Beijing.
So, take advantage of this rare opportunity and buy as much as you can to eat back home, because if you miss this opportunity, you will never see this shop again."
Jiang Xuying happened to pass by here and was shocked to hear this. She didn't know whether this was a new sales strategy come up with by the fruit merchant or whether these three kinds of fruits would really not be available in Beijing in the future.
She quickly locked her bike and squeezed through the crowd.
At this time, someone in the crowd asked, "Boss, why can't we eat these three kinds of fruits in Beijing next year?"
The fruit vendor said: "Because the supplier has changed his business to do other things, without the supplier to provide the supply, we can't sell it even if we want to."
Jiang Xuying couldn't help but say, "Boss, there should be more than one fruit supplier. Since this fruit supplier has changed its business, you should actively contact other fruit suppliers. Don't you want to continue the business?"
The fruit vendor sighed, "It's not that simple. It's not difficult to transport the fruit, but it's difficult to keep it fresh. Apart from the fruit supplier we are cooperating with now, we haven't found another fruit supplier with such strong preservation capabilities.
So, everyone should cherish them. After eating these three kinds of fruits this year, it will be very difficult to eat them again in the future."
Jiang Xuying thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she gritted her teeth and said directly: "Boss, weigh me 10 kilograms of longan, 3 jackfruits and 5 ground pineapples."
The fruit vendor smiled and said, "Okay, please wait a moment."
Seeing this, other customers could no longer stand still and started buying the fruits one after another. Their purchases were greater than in previous years. Just as the fruit vendor said, this was the last time to eat these three kinds of fruits in Beijing. If they wanted to eat these three kinds of fruits again, they would have to go to the south.
Not only the fruit vendors at this intersection, but also the fruit vendors scattered at other intersections in the capital were shouting the same slogan.
The effect is obvious. The sales of the three fruits are much faster than in previous years, and a large amount of cash has begun to be recovered.
…
A few days later.
In a private room of a restaurant, Zhou Shengli, Wang Dadan and Tian Chunzhi invited Deng Shirong to dinner again.
Before eating, of course, you have to settle the money first.
In the past two or three years, due to the large purchase volume, even though the three of them were already wealthy, it was impossible for them to come up with so much cash at once. They basically settled a part of it first and owed the rest. After the goods were sold continuously and the funds began to be recovered, they would settle the debt.
After the money was settled, Zhou Shengli said with emotion: "Boss Deng, it is the most comfortable to do business with you. I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."
"I've had a lot of peace of mind working with you, Boss Zhou, over the past few years."
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "If there is a chance in the future, let's continue to cooperate!"
Wang Dadan and Tian Chunzhi also expressed their gratitude.
After the dinner was over, Deng Shirong left with the money, and the three of them looked at each other, feeling a little depressed.
In the past few years, they have been accustomed to receiving a large sum of money at this time every year. Starting next year, this money will no longer exist. This is an unbearable loss for the three of them, and it is normal for them to feel depressed.
…
Deng Shirong spent more than a month traveling to several cities before he sold all the fruits in the system space, which brought him a total profit of 12.3536 million yuan, which was the largest amount of money he had earned since his rebirth.
When I returned to Nanning, the Mid-Autumn Festival was almost here.
In Wuyue Square, Yongjia Supermarket's business is extremely hot during this period. The goods are in short supply. Customers are like crazy. After entering the supermarket, they take whatever is available, without caring whether they need it or not. They just buy it first.
Seeing his eldest son's supermarket business booming and customers leaving the supermarket with bags full of bags, Deng Shirong was far from happy.
As an old bookworm with more than ten years of reading experience in his previous life, he naturally knew about the large-scale panic buying induced by the "price breakthrough" implemented by the country this year, but he could not interfere in such matters.
After all, this kind of panic buying craze cannot be avoided even in later generations, let alone in this ignorant age.
He just restricted the members of the Ye Deng family from blindly buying supplies, and also asked his eldest son to stock up on supplies in advance.
Since the people want to buy, let them buy as much as they want.
"dad!"
"dad!"
Seeing their father coming back, Deng Yuntai and Zhang Xiuping both greeted him.
Deng Shirong hummed and asked, "How is the supermarket business recently?"
Deng Yuntai said excitedly: "Business is very good, and the turnover is several times higher than before."
Zhang Xiuping continued, "Those customers are just like what you said, Dad. They buy whatever they see when they enter the supermarket, and carry large and small bags home, as if they are afraid of being at a disadvantage if they buy too little. I don't know what they are thinking."
Deng Shirong said, "They will regret it later. Anyway, we as businessmen can't care so much. If someone wants to buy it, why don't we sell it? If we don't sell it here, we will sell it somewhere else. It's better for us to make the money than to let others make it."
Zhang Xiuping said: "Customers are rushing to buy things now. Once this trend passes, I think our supermarket's business will not be doing well for a while."
"This is normal. We have to wait until customers have consumed these supplies and the economy slowly recovers before our supermarket can continue to make money as before."
At this point, Deng Shirong asked, "How is the decoration of the house on the fifth floor going?"
Zhang Xiuping's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said with a smile on her face, "It's almost finished, the workers are already putting the finishing touches on it, and it will be completely finished in about two or three days. I took a look at the decoration effect, it's really beautiful."
Deng Yuntai also said in amazement: "It is really beautiful. It feels more beautiful than Ah Zhen's house."
"I'll go up and take a look."
After saying that, Deng Shirong walked up the external stairs of the building.
At this time, there were still workers busy doing some detailed finishing work. Deng Shirong greeted the decoration workers and began to look at his mansion carefully.
Although it is not in its most perfect state now and some small details are still being worked on, entering the house feels like traveling through time and space and returning to ancient times. A large amount of wood is used in both the hard and soft furnishings of the house, all of which are rare woods such as huanghuali, red sandalwood, and golden nanmu.
Moreover, not a single nail was used in the entire process, only the magical mortise and tenon craftsmanship was used.
There is no need to introduce how awesome the mortise and tenon structure is. It is the ancient wisdom passed down by our ancestors for thousands of years.
The entire decoration style truly takes traditional culture as the core element and presents it with modern design concepts. From large items such as furniture, murals and screens to small ornaments, everything gives people a just right feeling.
In short, Deng Shirong became more and more satisfied the more he looked at it, and he believed that the decoration of this house was really worth it.
…
Spicy girl hotpot.
Deng Shirong picked up a piece of tasty tripe and put it into his mouth to chew. After swallowing it, he said, "The house on the fifth floor will be renovated soon. I will go out and find a master to choose an auspicious day tomorrow and prepare to move in."
This house is decorated using ancient techniques and does not contain carcinogens such as formaldehyde, so you can move in as soon as it is decorated.
Deng Yunzhu said excitedly: "That's great, I've had enough of that rental house. This house on the fifth floor is so beautifully decorated, it must be very comfortable to live in."
"Wow, I can live in a new house!"
The one cheering was Xiao Dong'er. She had just entered the first grade. Because her parents were developing in Nanning, they transferred her to a primary school in Nanning.
As for Dongzi, he will stay in Bobai to attend kindergarten for the time being. He plans to transfer to Nanning to attend elementary school after he graduates from kindergarten.
Deng Yuntai and Zhang Xiuping also showed expectant expressions when they heard this. Naturally, they wanted to move into such a beautiful mansion as soon as possible.
Deng Shirong cooked a piece of mutton in the clear soup for his granddaughter and said with a smile, "Look at you yelling so much. When you were in Bobai, didn't you live in a new house too?"
Xiao Dong'er said seriously: "But I came to Nanning and I live in an old house!"
Deng Shirong laughed and said, "You're right. Which do you think is more beautiful, the new house in Nanning or the new house in Bobai?"
Xiao Dong'er looked conflicted, and after a while she said, "Equally beautiful."
Deng Shirong said with a smile: "Well, they are all equally beautiful. If you want to live in such a beautiful house, you must study hard, understand? If you don't study hard, you won't be able to live in such a beautiful house in the future, but will have to go back to live in the old house you live in now!"
Xiao Dong'er blinked and asked innocently, "Grandpa, why can't I live in this beautiful house if I don't study hard?"
Deng Shirong explained: "Because if you don't study hard, you won't be able to make money in the future. What will you do if you don't have money? You will have to sell this beautiful house to someone else and go back to live in that ugly, old house."
Xiao Dong'er said, "If you don't have money, then you don't have money. Why do you have to sell this beautiful house to someone else? Can I not sell it?"
Deng Shirong said with a smile: "You can't live without money. How can you wear beautiful clothes without money? How can you eat? You need money to buy anything you want. Without money, you have nothing."
Xiao Dong'er frowned and asked, "Grandpa, if I study hard, will I have money?"
Deng Shirong nodded and said, "Yes, as long as you study hard, you can make a lot of money. You can buy whatever you want in the future with the money. You don't have to sell this beautiful house to others, and you can buy many, many beautiful houses."
Although Xiao Dong'er didn't understand, she was deeply shocked: "Then I will study hard, make a lot of money, and buy a lot of beautiful houses."
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "That's right. You should be like your second and third uncles and get admitted to the best university in the country. Then you can have everything you want."
Xiao Dong'er nodded her little head and expressed her first wish in life: "I want to be admitted to the best university in the country."
…
The day after Deng Shirong returned, Deng Yunhua also returned from Guangzhou with several security personnel.
Before leaving for Beijing, Deng Shirong asked his fourth son to take several security personnel to Guangdong to contact manufacturers of televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, etc. to discuss cooperation.
Deng Shirong did not interfere too much, but just provided him with a general direction and let him handle the rest on his own. This start was already better than 99% of people.
After all, we have a sales platform, funds for purchasing, and a general direction for how to negotiate cooperation. Basically, we have food at our fingertips, which is many times better than those who start from scratch.
If you still can't succeed in this way, then you'd better give up the idea of doing business, stay at home and live off your parents, and be a rich second-generation who has no worries about food and clothing.
Fortunately, although Deng Yunhua was not good at studying, he had a good brain. He successfully negotiated cooperation with those manufacturers during this trip to Guangdong. He came back to have the final discussion with his father. Once his father had no objection, his home appliance business would officially start.
After listening to his fourth son's story, Deng Shirong asked, "What do you think about the sales price of these goods when the home appliance mall officially opens?"
Deng Yunhua said, "This is the opening of a new store. It can't be compared with the reputation of the department store, so I plan to sell these home appliances a little cheaper than over there. What do you think, Dad?"
Deng Shirong said: "Lowering the sales price can indeed greatly improve competitiveness, but price reduction also requires skills. Direct price reduction is likely to attract the attention of department stores. If they also reduce prices and start a price war with you, then with your current size, you can never be compared with department stores and you will be defeated in minutes."
Deng Yunhua racked his brains and asked, "Dad, how do you think we can lower the price?"
Deng Shirong said, "Do you know how your second sister promoted the opening of her hot pot restaurant?"
Deng Yunhua was moved when he heard this, and he said, "I understand, Dad, you want me to distribute coupons like my second sister, and give a coupon to every customer who spends a certain amount of money at my eldest brother's supermarket or my second sister's hot pot restaurant.
This will not only achieve the goal of reducing prices, but will also not attract the attention of department stores, and will also allow customers to pay attention to the coupons and stimulate their desire to buy home appliances. "
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Yes, that's what I mean. Moreover, this coupon can provide different discounts. For example, if a customer spends more than 100 yuan per month at your second sister's hot pot restaurant, he or she can receive a 5% discount coupon.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
If the cumulative monthly consumption reaches 200 yuan, you can receive a 10% discount coupon.
If the monthly consumption reaches 300 yuan, you will receive a 15% discount coupon.
And so on, you can get a coupon with a minimum discount of 40%.
Your brother's supermarket can also use this method to distribute coupons, which can not only achieve your goal of reducing prices, but also increase the sales of supermarkets and hot pot restaurants. It can be said that it is a three-pronged approach."
Deng Yunhua nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "This is a good idea. I'll do it this way when my home appliance mall opens."
…
For the rural people in Bobai, moving to a new home is a very important event.
Not to mention moving into a new home, when they are doing the brick-laying ceremony (Hakka, referring to the first day of house construction, after worshipping the ancestors, eight bricks are placed on the four corners of the foundation to determine the orientation of the house and pray to all kinds of gods for safe travel and a good harvest), they will notify relatives and friends to come and join in the fun.
When the house is moved into a new one, several tables are usually set up and friends and family are invited to celebrate again.
The reason why it is taken so seriously is actually very simple. Many people in rural areas only build a house once in their lifetime, so of course they want to make it as grand as possible.
When Deng Shirong first built a new house in the village, he also paid great attention to these things and invited relatives and friends to celebrate. But as the family had more and more houses, he gradually paid less attention to these things.
After all, it would be too much if this happened every time a seven-story house in Bobai was renovated and moved in.
Therefore, for the luxury house in Nanning Wuyue Square, Deng Shirong just asked the master to choose an auspicious day and prepare for the family to move in in a low-key manner. There was no need to alarm relatives and friends.
The master calculated and selected the nearest auspicious day according to Deng Shirong's request, as shown in the following picture: After the auspicious day arrived, the family moved into this super luxurious house in a low-key manner.
This mansion, to put it in an exaggerated way, is comparable to the palaces of ancient emperors. Even though Deng Yuntai and others have seen it countless times, they were still very excited when they actually moved in. They were even more excited than when they first moved into the blue brick and tile house in their hometown seven or eight years ago.
Deng Yunzhu, a photography expert, picked up her camera and started taking pictures without saying a word.
She stopped only after she had used up all the film in her camera, feeling unsatisfied.
Xiao Dong'er was also very excited. She looked here and there, thinking happily in her heart that she would play hide-and-seek with her brother when he came. There were so many places to hide here, and her brother would definitely not be able to find her. Thinking of her brother's anxious and crying look when he couldn't find her, she couldn't help laughing.
Deng Shirong couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Dong'er, what are you laughing at?"
Xiao Dong'er immediately told her grandfather her idea, and then said smugly: "That idiot Dongzi will definitely not be able to find me."
Deng Shirong laughed and said, "If he can't find you, then when you look for him, he will just hide somewhere randomly, and you probably won't be able to find him either!"
Xiao Dong'er said confidently: "I will definitely find him."
Deng Shirong asked: "Why?"
Xiao Dong'er said with a smile: "Because he is stupid, I just need to tease him to talk, he can't help but speak after a few words, and then I can find him."
Deng Shirong laughed and said, "You are really clever. You used tricks to play hide-and-seek. After Dongzi was fooled, didn't he learn his lesson?"
Xiao Dong'er blinked and smiled: "That's why he is stupid!"
Deng Shirong smiled. There were indeed obvious differences in the personalities of his grandson and granddaughter. Xiaodong'er was more eccentric, and had a lot of clever ideas at a young age, while Dongzi was much more honest. Her current IQ was indeed not as good as her sister's. I wonder what she will be like when she grows up.
…
The next morning.
Deng Shirong came to the Architectural Design Institute.
After greeting each other, Deng Shirong praised: "President Huang, thank you for your hard work in decorating Wuyue Square. I am very satisfied with the result."
Dean Huang smiled and said, "This is what we should do. As long as you are satisfied, Boss Deng."
Deng Shirong said: "There is also the renovation of the house in Bobai County, your hospital should also hurry up."
Dean Huang nodded and said, "Don't worry, Boss Deng, we have already made arrangements. We will definitely finish renovating all the houses in Bobai County next year."
Deng Shirong hummed and said, "I came here this time because I want to cooperate with your hospital on a new project."
Dean Huang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "Boss Deng, what is the project?"
"It's like this. Hundreds of households in our clan plan to build villas in the village. The villas are planned to be built on both sides of the river. The exterior style of the villas is unified, and the interior layout and decoration can be left to the clan members to play..."
Deng Shirong told Dean Huang his ideas one by one, and Dean Huang was amazed.
If this villa complex is really built, how beautiful this village will be! Dean Huang dared not imagine it. All kinds of creative inspirations kept bursting out in his mind, and he said excitedly: "Boss Deng, I have accepted this project. I will design it for you personally and will definitely present you with the effect you want."
Through the decoration design of the fifth floor of Wuyue Plaza, Deng Shirong already knew Dean Huang's attainments in ancient style design. He smiled and said, "With Dean Huang personally taking charge, there will definitely be no problem with this project."
Dean Huang said modestly, "Boss Deng, you are too kind. If I want to design this, I have to take people to the site to take a look. I have to design it according to the topography of the river and strive to make your village the most beautiful and ancient village in the country."
Deng Shirong said, "President Huang, I need to discuss this with the clansmen first. The building area of each villa must be divided first. Only after we have accurate data can it be convenient for you, President Huang, to design it."
"That's right. Boss Deng, please discuss it with the tribesmen first. After you have made the division, I will bring people to measure the land and rivers."
"Well, I'll call you when I'm done."
"Okay, then I'll be waiting for your call at any time, Boss Deng."
…
Naye Village.
The new ancestral hall of the Naye Deng family was finally completed, which took a little more than two and a half years.
After receiving the news, Deng Shirong rushed back immediately. Looking at this magnificent ancestral hall, he was very satisfied. Such an amazing ancestral hall would be praised by people in the future, let alone in this era. Which tribe member would not be amazed! Deng Shirong looked at the completed ancestral hall and said to the tribe members of the ancestral hall council: "Since the ancestral hall has been built, let's ask the master to choose an auspicious day and then enshrine the ancestral hall."
The enthronement ceremony of the ancestral hall is one of the traditional cultures of the Hakka people in Bobai. It involves placing the incense burner and ancestral tablets in the newly built ancestral hall on a chosen auspicious day. The ceremony mainly includes three contents: welcoming the dragon, offering incense, and worshiping.
The opening of the ancestral hall is considered a very big event in the clan. Not only do all clan members have to go back to participate, but even the married aunts will come back as well.
At the same time, those branch brothers will naturally send representatives to participate.
Deng Yungui said, "Uncle Jiu, we have already asked a master to choose an auspicious date in advance. According to the master's calculations, the best auspicious date this year is the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month. We have asked three different masters to calculate, and the auspicious date they came up with is this one, so it should be correct."
Deng Shirong said: "Now that the auspicious day has been chosen, we should send someone to notify the brothers in each branch, and the elder sisters in each family should send someone to notify them themselves."
Deng Yungui said, "Well, I'll send someone to notify them one by one later."
Next, everyone discussed some details about the enthronement ceremony in the ancestral hall. This is a major event that the whole clan is paying attention to, and brothers from other branches will also be present to participate. The steps of the enthronement ceremony must not go wrong, and what to do at what time, all of these need to be planned in advance.
After discussing the matter of the ancestral hall, Deng Shirong said, "I said at the beginning of the year that we were going to build villas in the village next year. I talked to the design master not long ago. Everyone, please inform them and think carefully about how big you want your villa to be."
Deng Yunqiang asked, "Uncle Jiu, can we build this villa as big as we want?"
"In terms of horizontality, because the length of the river belonging to our Naye Deng family is limited, there are only four specifications to choose from: 9 meters, 12 meters, 15 meters, and 18 meters. The depth is 50 meters, and the floors are also three stories. The larger the area, the more money you need to spend. This is certain. You can freely choose the specifications according to your needs."
At this point, Deng Shirong stood up and said, "Notify everyone and ask each village to compile the data and submit it to me tomorrow. Once the specifications are selected, they cannot be changed, so let the tribesmen discuss it with their families."
"Okay, I'll have someone notify the tribesmen in each village and have them discuss it tonight and submit the list of specifications tomorrow."
…
That night, all the members of the Naye Deng clan received the news and closed the door to discuss with their families what specifications they should choose for the villa.
This requires money to build, and it is not distributed for free by the tribe, so the tribesmen did not blindly choose the largest specification, but chose according to their own needs.
For example, Deng Changyuan's family has only four people after the separation. If they choose the largest 18-meter specification, it is really unnecessary and too wasteful. Choosing the smallest 9-meter specification is more than enough.
After all, the depth is 50 meters. Even if you subtract the open space in front and the garden and vegetable patch in the back, there is at least 20 meters for building a house, and it is a three-story structure. Such a house is big enough for a family of ten, let alone a family of four.
After an overnight discussion, each village handed over the list of specifications to Deng Shirong the next day.
Deng Shirong casually flipped through it and found that most of the tribesmen chose the 12-meter specification, followed by the 9-meter specification, and then the 15-meter specification. Only a very small number of tribesmen chose the largest specification of 18 meters.
Deng Shirong has many children and he is not short of money, so naturally he would choose the largest one.
