Chapter 364: Food company dividends, the whole family gets rich
When the Deng family of Naye held a grand ceremony to enthronize the ancestral hall, two townships, Zhongsu and Dadong, were added to Bobai. So far, the county had a total of 19 townships and 15 towns, with 312 village offices and 7 street residents' committees. The county, which ranks among the most populous in the country, had finally taken shape.
At this time, Deng Shirong was looking for a site for a mooncake factory with Deng Changyu, the general manager of the food company.
At present, Master Kong instant noodles has three factories in Bobai, Wuhan and Tianjin, which will be put into production next year. They can already meet the current demand for instant noodles in China. The pace of building instant noodles factories can be slowed down a bit. After the sales volume of instant noodles increases further, it will not be too late to build more factories and expand production capacity.
This food company has too many types of food waiting to be launched. Since instant noodles no longer need to be a concern, mooncakes, a food that holds a special place in the hearts of Chinese people, must be put on the agenda.
After walking around the main urban area of the county, the two finally stopped in front of an open space in the south city.
Deng Changyu asked, "Jiu Gong, what do you think of this place?"
Deng Shirong said: "Okay, then choose this place, and then you can talk to the relevant departments."
Deng Changyu nodded and said, "Okay."
Deng Shirong asked: "How much money does the food company have on its books now?"
Deng Changyu said: "More than 43 million."
Deng Shirong said: "It's not long until the Chinese New Year. The food company raised funds before, which emptied the pockets of the tribesmen. Many tribesmen even owed a lot of debts. The dividends from the passenger transport company at the beginning of the year only slightly eased their financial pressure.
Next, the clan wants to move rivers, build roads and build villas, which will require a lot of money.
Now that the food company is not short of money, let’s distribute dividends to the tribesmen before the New Year so that everyone can have a happy New Year! ”
Deng Changyu said, "Okay, no problem. Jiugong, how much money do you think would be a good amount to distribute as dividends this year?"
Deng Shirong said: "The company must have a lot of money on its books for emergencies. Let's give each share 2,000 yuan, so that the tribesmen will not be short of money."
Deng Changyu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "When we first raised funds to start the food company, each share was 1,000 yuan. Now the first dividend is 2,000 yuan per share. In addition to getting back the capital invested, everyone also got a profit equal to the capital. How can we be short of money? Everyone is rich as hell."
Deng Shirong also smiled: "It's good to be rich. The most difficult period for our Deng family has passed. We won't empty everyone's pockets anymore."
Deng Changyu said with gratitude: "Speaking of this, I really want to thank you, Jiugong. If you hadn't reminded me to buy more shares, I wouldn't be where I am today!"
Deng Shirong said: "Your ability is worthy of your shares. Now the food company is still in its infancy. You should work hard and strive to make our food company bigger and stronger and become a well-known enterprise in the country."
Deng Changyu said with full enthusiasm: "Jiu Gong, I will definitely work hard. With you at the helm, our big ship, the Deng family, will surely be able to ride the wind and waves and successfully reach the other side of the ocean."
Deng Shirong smiled when he heard that. He didn't know whether the big ship of the Deng Group could reach the other side of the ocean with him at the helm, but he was confident that there would definitely not be any accidents like shipwreck.
Thinking that the social security is getting worse and worse, Deng Shirong reminded: "When you go to the bank to make an appointment to withdraw money, it is best to discuss with the bank and ask the bank to send a cash transport truck to transport the money we need back to the village, so as to avoid leaking the news and attracting some lawless people to have bad intentions, which would be bad."
Deng Changyu said confidently, "Jiu Gong, in Bobai, who dares to take advantage of our Deng family?"
Deng Shirong shook his head and said, "We can't be careless. Although few people dare to provoke our Deng family in Bobai, for those desperate criminals, they are even arrogant enough to go against the country. No matter how powerful our Deng family is, they will not take it seriously.
Therefore, for everyone's safety, we cannot transport so much cash by ourselves. It is best and safest to let the bank help transport it."
When Deng Changyu heard Jiu Gong say this, he thought about how he had heard a lot of people say about armed robberies happening in certain places recently. Robbers nowadays are indeed becoming more and more arrogant. It is really necessary to be vigilant. Otherwise, if 20 or 30 million in cash is robbed, the loss to the clan will be too great, and no one can bear the responsibility.
"Okay, Jiugong, I understand. I will tell the bank and ask them to send a money transport truck to help us transport the money back to the village."
"Now our food company and passenger transport company are already super big customers of the bank. They will not refuse this small request."
"I definitely won't refuse. If you dare to refuse, we will change banks immediately."
"Well, that's settled. You make an appointment with the bank in advance and ask the bank to deliver the money to the village before 2pm on the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month."
"OK."
…
Capital city.
Tsinghua University.
The holidays are coming soon, and all the hometown associations in the school have taken action and are preparing to go home together.
The Guangxi Hometown Association was naturally no exception. While eating in the cafeteria that afternoon, they all gathered together to discuss going home together.
The person who organized the fellow villagers this time was the new president Deng Yunsong.
Deng Yunsong's social skills were actually no worse than his second brother's. He was also one of what later generations called a social terrorist. It was precisely because of his strong social skills, coupled with his good political wisdom, that he was able to become a department-level cadre from a technical secondary school graduate in his previous life.
In this life, he stepped onto the big stage of Tsinghua University. His father gave him enough confidence, and his second brother set an example for him. Naturally, he did very well at Tsinghua University and made many like-minded friends.
After the previous president of the Guangxi Hometown Association graduated, he successfully took over as president.
At this time, there were a total of 18 fellow Guangxi people studying at Tsinghua University.
Because many majors in Tsinghua University require five years of study, the actual average is less than 4 people per grade, which is relatively small.
Deng Yunsong came straight to the point and said, "My fellow villagers, the holidays are coming soon. If anyone wants to go home for the New Year this year, please raise your hands."
"President, I'm back."
"President, I'm going back too."
"I didn't go back last year, so I have to go back this year."
Soon, six fellow villagers, five men and one woman, raised their hands.
Deng Yunsong nodded and said, "Okay, then the six of you should go back together. Be careful on your way back."
Li Haiyan, the only female fellow villager among the six who raised their hands, asked, "President, you didn't go back home during last summer and winter vacations, and you didn't go back during this summer vacation either. Don't you plan to go back home for the New Year during the winter vacation?"
Deng Yunsong shook his head and said, "It's too hard to sit on the train for several days and nights. I have to stay on the train for seven or eight days in total. It's scary to think about it. I'd better not go back. Anyway, I have many brothers and sisters. Even if I don't go back, my family will be lively during the New Year."
Li Haiyan hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I won't reply either. Brother Zhou, you guys can reply!"
Zhou Jianan from Liuzhou teased, "Yanzi, you change too quickly. If the president changes his mind and says he wants to go back, you will probably change your mind too, right?"
Li Haiyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Brother Zhou, don't talk nonsense. I think what the president said makes sense. I originally wanted to rush back to spend the New Year with my parents, but I have many brothers and sisters. One more or one less won't make a difference. It's better for me to stay in school for the New Year to avoid the suffering of running back and forth."
Bao Wenxin from Beihai nodded and said, "Yes, Guangxi is too far from Beijing. We have to sit in the car for three or four days. Although our bodies are still OK, we can't stand it after a few days. It's better not to go back if we can."
Other fellow villagers who did not want to go back home for the New Year also echoed this. If the ride was not so difficult, not all of the fellow villagers present would go back home for the New Year, but at least most of them would be willing to go back home to spend the New Year with their parents.
But when many people think of the hardship of traveling by car, they give up the idea of going home for the New Year.
Therefore, due to Li Haiyan's temporary change of mind, in the end, only five fellow villagers were willing to go back for the New Year.
When the five of them gathered together to discuss going home together, the rest of their fellow villagers who stayed in school for the New Year also discussed how to spend the New Year.
Ding Jingyi, an elder brother from Baise, suggested: "President, fellow villagers, why don't we go to Shichahai together? I heard that ice skating there is very interesting."
Bao Wenxin said: "What is ice skating like? I only heard my roommates talk about skiing."
Li Haiyan said with some fear: "It may not hurt if you fall while skiing, but it should be very painful if you fall while skating, right?"
Zhou Jianan said: "Ice is hard, and it will definitely hurt if we fall on it. But we have a lot of clothes on, so we don't have to worry about that. The main reason is that ice is much more slippery than snow. If people like us who have never touched it go skating, I'm afraid we will only fall down, and there is no way we can experience the fun of skating!"
Ding Jingyi said, "No one is born with the ability to skate. If we don't know how to skate, we can learn. Anyway, the winter vacation is long. I believe we can learn it in a few days. The main reason is that we think this opportunity is rare. After we graduate and leave Beijing, it will be very difficult to experience skating or skiing again unless we go to work in the north."
Deng Yunsong continued, "Brother Ding is right. Ice skating or skiing is very attractive to us southerners. When we have a holiday, we can take some time to go to Shichahai for fun. If we have a good time, we can stay for a few more days. If we don't find it interesting, we can change places. What do you think?"
Li Haiyan said: "Okay, let's give it a try."
Zhou Jianan said: "It's good to give it a try. As college students today, we should be brave enough to try new things."
Bao Wenxin said: "I have no objection, let's go and see what ice skating is like!"
Other fellow villagers also agreed. As President Deng Yunsong said, if you have fun, stay for a few more days. If it’s boring, you can just go to another place.
Everyone reached a consensus and then discussed some detailed issues.
After they finished discussing everything and had their meal, they went their separate ways.
After Deng Yunsong returned to the dormitory, Qiu Yongnian asked with a smile: "Minister, if you don't go home for the New Year this year, why don't you come to our place to celebrate the New Year? It happens that your second brother is here too, so the two brothers will have company."
Deng Yunsong shook his head and said, "Forget it. I'm not going home for the New Year just because I'm afraid of taking a bus. What's the difference between taking a bus to Fujian and taking a bus home?"
Qiu Yongnian was not surprised to hear this. He had not originally planned to go back home for the New Year, but his family had started shrimp farming with the support of his "second brother", the county leader. His parents wrote to him saying that they had made a lot of money, so he naturally had to go back to see how things were going.
Tan Chuan suggested: "Brothers, we're going to have a holiday soon, why don't we go out for dinner together tomorrow?"
Zuo Chuanfeng said: "I agree, it's time for us to go out and get together."
Deng Yunsong said, "I agree. We are already juniors now, and we still have a year and a half to go. By then, we will go our separate ways, and it will be difficult to get together again. Let's cherish the time we have now!"
Yu Zhenping said: "We must cherish it. A year and a half will pass in a flash. There will not be many opportunities for group dinners like this."
Qiu Yongnian and Hua Haiyang naturally had no objections, so the dormitory dinner was decided.
…
Nanning.
The Xincheng District Government is holding a standing committee meeting, and the theme of today's meeting is personnel appointments and removals.
An hour later, the meeting ended.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
When the standing committee members were leaving, Chen Donglai called out their names, "District Chief Song, please stay for a moment."
Song Yu was slightly surprised when the secretary called him, but he remained calm on the surface and said, "Okay, Secretary."
After everyone else left, Song Yu asked a little stiffly, "Secretary, what do you want?"
In the officialdom, a higher-ranking official can crush someone very easily. Although in terms of rank, the secretary is only half a level higher than her, the deputy district chief, but in terms of power, the difference between the two is quite large.
Moreover, as far as she knew, the secretary's background was unfathomable, so it was normal for her to feel a little restrained when being questioned by such a leader.
Chen Donglai smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I'm not keeping you here to discuss business matters. I want to ask you about something personal."
While Song Yu's mind was racing, he did not forget to say nice things: "If the secretary has anything to ask, I will definitely tell you everything I know."
Chen Donglai smiled and asked, "District Chief Song, you graduated from Peking University. Do you know your Peking University alumnus Deng Yunheng?"
Song Yu had expected the secretary to ask her all kinds of questions, but she had never expected the secretary to ask this question. She answered without hesitation, "I know him. We are not only alumni, but also fellow villagers from the same county. We have a very good relationship. Secretary, do you also know this fellow villager of mine?"
Chen Donglai was delighted when he heard this. He had asked the right person. He smiled and said, "I have never met your fellow villager, but I had a meal with his father a few days ago. He told me that his second son graduated from Peking University and is now the executive deputy county magistrate of Fuqing County, Fujian. I thought that our district government also has a top Peking University student like you, so I wanted to ask if you know this Peking University alumnus."
Song Yu suddenly realized: "So that's how it is!"
Chen Donglai said, "District Chief Song, your fellow villager is already a deputy-division-level cadre at such a young age. This is really remarkable. I am quite interested in him. Can you give me an objective evaluation of him from all aspects?"
Song Yu nodded and said, "Of course, my fellow countryman is very outstanding. He was one of the few celebrities in school. All the seniors and juniors in the three classes knew him.
He has excellent academic performance, a cheerful and generous personality, and treats people sincerely. He is deeply loved by his tutors, classmates and friends. "
Chen Donglai nodded repeatedly as he listened. As expected of someone so young who could serve as the executive deputy county magistrate, he was indeed very outstanding. Then he carefully inquired about Deng Yunheng's performance in school, and even asked about his background and whether he had any.
In response to this, Song Yu basically answered every question, and his whole response was just one word - praise.
After he had understood almost everything, Chen Donglai smiled and said, "I have understood almost everything. Thank you, District Chief Song."
Song Yu smiled and said, "It's just a small matter, Secretary, you don't have to be polite. If there's nothing else, then I'll go back to work first."
She did not ask the secretary why he wanted to know about her fellow villager. If the secretary was willing to talk about it, he would definitely tell her. Since the secretary did not mention it, it meant that it was not appropriate to tell her. It would be ignorant for her to ask further.
Chen Donglai hummed and said, "Go!"
After Song Yu left, Chen Donglai also returned to his office.
Then he picked up the phone and called his sister's house.
Soon, the phone was connected and my sister's voice came through.
After saying hello, Chen Donglai told his sister what he had just learned, and finally said, "Sister, this Deng Yunheng seems to be really good. You should ask Weiwei to pay more attention to him. He was born in the countryside and has made it this far through his own efforts. If he and Weiwei are together, and brother-in-law can give him a push at the critical moment, then he will probably be able to reach a very high position, and his future is really limitless."
Mother Gu hummed and said, "I understand. I will tell Weiwei."
Next, the brother and sister chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
…
The sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.
More than 2,000 chairs have been neatly arranged at the entrance of the new ancestral hall of the Deng family in Naye. As for tables, there are only the row near the rostrum. There are no tables anywhere else.
In the past, when clan meetings were held, except for the stools on the podium, other clan members who came to attend the meetings could only stand below.
Now that the new ancestral hall has been built and there are enough tables and chairs, everyone will have a stool to sit on when we hold clan meetings.
Today is the big day for the food company's first dividend distribution. All clan members were notified in advance. Although the meeting time was set at 1:30 p.m., most clan members had lunch early and came in groups to attend today's dividend distribution meeting.
Everyone gathered together and discussed how much dividend they would get today.
"Today the food company distributed dividends. How much money was distributed per share? Does anyone know?"
"I haven't heard of this, but our food company's instant noodle business is so hot, I heard that it made a lot of money. This dividend distribution is likely to get back all the money we invested before."
"It would be great if I could get back all the money I invested. Although I have enough money to spend now, I owe a lot of money to relatives and friends. My life is always a little lacking. If I can get back all the money I invested, I can pay off all the debts of relatives and friends and still have a lot of money left. I can live a comfortable life."
"I'm looking forward to it, too. It's really uncomfortable to owe others money. Even if no one is asking for repayment, the debtor can't relax even if he wants to."
"As the old saying goes, debt-free brings relief. After this dividend is paid out, I believe we will no longer be in debt."
“…”
Amid the discussions of the tribesmen, Deng Shirong also came to the podium with a cigarette holder.
When the clan leader appeared, a clan member immediately asked, "Clan leader, how much is the dividend of the food company today?"
Deng Shirong put the chimney away and said with a smile, "Considering that we have a lot of projects to launch recently, everyone needs to spend money a lot, so today's dividend is 2,000 yuan per share. After receiving this dividend, I believe everyone will no longer be short of money, and from today on, all of our clansmen should no longer be short of money."
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was instantly boiling!
"Oh my god, the dividend per share is 2,000 yuan. Doesn't that mean that we not only get back what we invested, but also make the same amount of money?"
"Hahahaha, that's great, it's really great. With so much money coming in, I will never be short of money again."
"It's awesome! In just over a year, I have not only recovered my costs, but also made an equal profit. This business is really amazing!"
"It has to be the clan leader. Without the clan leader taking the lead in setting up this food company, we wouldn't be where we are today!"
"The clan leader is really amazing and has been so kind to us. If it were someone else, they would just want to make money for themselves and would never lead the entire clan to make money together. For our Naye Deng clan to have such a clan leader, it's really a blessing from our ancestors."
"No doubt about it. If the clan leader gives me any instructions in the future, I will definitely do whatever he tells me to do. I won't hesitate to ask any questions."
"You're right. From now on, if the clan leader gives me an order, whether it means climbing a mountain of swords or jumping into a cauldron of oil, I won't be worthy of the surname Deng if I frown."
“…”
All the clan members were talking excitedly and were sincerely grateful to clan leader Deng Shirong for leading them to prosperity. People like Deng Changbao, Deng Changxiong, Deng Yungui, Deng Yunqiang and others who had larger shares were also so excited that their faces flushed.
Although everyone knows that food companies make money, and a lot of money, it is not their turn to spend the money until it is distributed to them.
Now that the money is about to be distributed, with such a huge amount of money coming in, those who have more shares will become rich instantly, it is hard not to be excited.
Just as the tribesmen were cheering excitedly, a large bus appeared, followed by a money transporter. The appearance of the money transporter, especially when the fully armed money escorts got off the bus, naturally caused the tribesmen to exclaim.
The tribesmen had not expected to use the bank's armored car to help transport the money.
