Chapter 385 As expected, he is Uncle Yunheng, so awesome!
The new ancestral hall of the Deng family.
A group of clan members are collecting this year's company dividends. The later the name is ranked, the higher the dividend amount they receive. When it was Deng Changxiong and Deng Changbao's turn to go on stage to receive the money, the amount had already reached hundreds of thousands.
Needless to say, Deng Shirong, who was in charge of the finale, received a total of 4 million RMB. Even though he had already received it once last year, it still made the tribesmen feel deeply moved.
After all the dividends were distributed, the next step was to provide scholarships. As the company's income increased rapidly, these scholarships were no longer in the form of donations. Instead, the family companies directly paid for them. The corresponding reward amount was also increased tenfold compared to before.
After all, the previous rewards were very attractive when the economic conditions of the tribe members were not good enough, but now every household is not short of money, and they only value the honor of receiving the tribe’s scholarship awards. Basically no one values the little reward given by the scholarship.
In order to motivate students in ethnic middle schools to study hard, increasing financial aid is the most direct and effective way.
After all the scholarships were distributed, Deng Shirong gave some words of encouragement to the students of the clan school, and the clan meeting came to an end.
Before the meeting ended, Deng Shirong looked at the tribesmen and announced a piece of news: "Fellow tribesmen, I want to tell you one thing at the end. My second son Deng Yunheng will hold a banquet here on the seventh day of the second lunar month next year. Everyone should come to eat and bring all the elderly and children in your family. I am inviting you in person now, and I will not post a message one by one then."
As soon as the news came out, the whole audience was instantly boiling.
Although Deng Yunheng is not the highest-ranking official in the clan yet, he is definitely the youngest and most promising official. Many clan members already know the news that he has become the county magistrate. Now that they know he is getting married, everyone is curious about where the woman is from and what her family background is like.
Deng Yungui asked, "Uncle Jiu, where is this woman from?"
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "The woman is from Wuhan, Hubei."
Deng Changbao was surprised and said, "Oh my God, why did Uncle Yunheng find a wife from such a far place?"
Deng Changxiong continued, "Hubei and Guangxi are separated by Hunan, so it's really a bit far, at least more than a thousand kilometers, right?"
Deng Shirong said: "It is more than a thousand kilometers. It is a bit good to be far away, but now the transportation is getting more and more convenient. It only takes a few hours to get there by plane from Nanning. It is not like before when it was a little far away, and married girls could not go back to their parents' home for several years."
Deng Yunqiang asked, "Uncle Jiu, with Yunheng's current status, the person he is looking for must be someone extraordinary, right? What is his family background?"
This was not something to be ashamed of. Since a clan member had asked about it, Deng Shirong did not hide it and directly said, "The girl's father is a high-ranking official in the province."
When these words came out, the clan members were shocked again. A high-ranking official in the province, this importance was understood by even ordinary people. There were more than 3,000 people in their Deng family, but the highest-ranking official so far was only a city official, and there was not a single provincial official.
While being surprised, the tribesmen also felt that this was reasonable.
After all, Deng Yunheng's excellence was known to everyone in the family. He was the first in the family to be admitted to top universities such as Tsinghua University and Peking University, and he had become a county magistrate at a young age. It was normal for him to be noticed by provincial bigwigs and become their son-in-law.
"As expected of Uncle Yunheng, he's just awesome!"
"Uncle Yunheng already had a promising future, and now he has such a powerful father-in-law to protect him. I dare not imagine how high a position he will hold in the future."
"I think Uncle Yunheng can definitely become the highest official in our Nanye Deng clan."
"That's for sure. Uncle Yunheng is only so young, but he's already a director-level cadre!"
“…”
Hearing the clan members talking about it, Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Okay, we have said everything that needs to be said. Everyone remember to come and drink at the wedding."
"Head, we will definitely not forget it."
"Jiu Gong, just tell us what you need us to do."
"Uncle Jiu, how do you want Yunheng's wedding to be held? You can come up with a set of rules. There are plenty of people in the clan, so it won't be difficult to get anything done."
“…”
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "This will definitely require help. I will tell everyone when the time comes."
After hearing this, all the tribesmen took the cash they received with satisfaction and happily went home with other people in the village.
…
In a blink of an eye, it is New Year's Eve again.
As usual, Deng Shirong prepared a large table of delicious food, and the family ate and drank while chatting.
Deng Shirong looked at his eldest son and said, "Yuntai, you are the eldest brother, take the lead in summarizing your achievements this year!"
"OK."
Deng Yuntai responded, then put down his chopsticks and said, "This year, the turnover of Yongjia Supermarket in Bobai is relatively stable, the turnover of Yongjia Supermarket in Nanning has increased slightly, and the Yongjia Supermarket in Liuzhou has also developed very rapidly. Due to the further increase in the purchase volume, the cost is even lower than before, so whether it is Yongjia Supermarket in Bobai or Nanning, the profit is higher than last year.
Adding the profits from Liuzhou Yongjia Supermarket, the total profit this year reached about 3.2 million.”
Deng Shirong nodded and said, "That's right, keep working hard. As long as there are enough chain supermarkets, even if each one only makes a few hundred thousand, it will add up to a huge amount."
Having tasted the sweetness, Deng Yuntai said with high spirits: "I plan to open two more supermarkets next year."
If it were in the past, he would not have dared to say such words, because neither the Yongjia Supermarket in Bobai nor the Yongjia Supermarket in Nanning was built by him alone, but his father contributed a lot to it.
But with the opening of Liuzhou Yongjia Supermarket, everything changed.
Because he built this supermarket by himself from start to finish, with this successful experience, he has strong confidence in the development of the supermarket chain.
Deng Shirong reminded: "It is not difficult to open a supermarket, but the management is difficult. You must establish a good management system. I don’t know much about this aspect, so you can only rely on yourself to explore, or recruit talents who are good at management to help improve the management system.
Anyway, supermarket management is of utmost importance, you must pay attention to it."
Deng Yuntai nodded and said, "Okay, I will recruit outstanding talents who are good at management later."
Deng Shirong said: "In this regard, you can talk to Yunheng and Xiaosong. They graduated from Tsinghua University and Peking University, and they are exposed to the best talents in the country. You can ask them to help introduce classmates or alumni who are good at management. This is much more reliable than recruiting on your own."
Zhang Xiuping couldn't help but praise: "Dad, this is a good idea."
Deng Yuntai responded, "Okay, then I'll find a chance to talk to them about this when Yunheng gets married and comes back."
Deng Shirong hummed, looked at his youngest daughter and said, "Azhu, you should also summarize your achievements this year."
Deng Yunzhu put down her chopsticks and said, "The profit of Nanning Lameizi Hotpot is pretty good this year, almost half higher than last year. I am also working on a branch in Liuzhou, which is currently under renovation and should be open in two or three months."
Deng Shirong said: "After the Liuzhou branch is completed, I suggest that you choose Nanning as the third branch. It will be much easier to manage the hot pot restaurants now, and you can also occupy the Nanning market as soon as possible."
Deng Yunzhu nodded and said, "Okay, then after the Liuzhou branch opens and the business becomes stable, I will return to Nanning to choose a place to open the third branch."
Deng Shirong hummed, looked at his fourth son and said, "Xiaohua, you should also summarize your business situation."
Deng Yunhua chuckled and said, "Dad, my home appliance sales this year were very good. I made 680,000 yuan in a year."
Deng Shirong smiled and praised: "Yes, the four major items are popular as wedding gifts now. You have opened such a large home appliance mall, and the prices are cheaper than other places. Those who are preparing wedding gifts will naturally be willing to come to you to buy. As long as you capture this part of the customers, you will not worry about not making money."
Deng Yunhua couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "If I hadn't opened this appliance mall, I wouldn't have known there were so many rich people."
Deng Yunzhu continued, "It's not that there are many rich people, but the city people pay more attention to the four major items when it comes to dowry. The man has to pay for the dowry even if he has to empty his family's savings. This is not their actual spending power, but they have no choice."
Deng Shirong said: "Nowadays, the bride price is indeed getting more and more exaggerated. When I married your mother, it was during the People's Commune period. At that time, private plots were abolished, and family sideline businesses were also abolished. Everyone ate in a big pot, and all the grain, vegetables, oil, salt, pigs, chickens, geese, ducks, etc. in the family were all handed over to the public canteen.
At that time, you didn’t need to spend a fortune to get married. You only needed to prepare simple candies and biscuits, and then hold a tea party to entertain relatives and friends. "
Deng Yunheng said, "Dad, the era when you got married was a difficult time. I have a classmate from Luchuan County. He told me that his grandparents starved to death during that era. How difficult was life back then?"
Deng Yunzhu then asked, "Dad, my eldest brother was born at that time. How difficult was life for our family at that time? Could we have enough food to eat?"
Deng Shirong said: "Our family is fine. To be precise, not only our family, but our entire Bobai County is better than other places."
Deng Yunhua asked: "Why is this? Could it be that our county has more food stored than other places?"
Deng Shirong smiled and said: "Our county does have more grain than other places, but it is not because of the previous storage, but because our county was very lucky to have a good leader. He went to the countryside to conduct in-depth investigations and was not fooled by the exaggerated trend of grain. That year, when other counties relaxed winter planting, he led our county to firmly grasp winter planting.
The effect will be apparent when the spring harvest comes.
Other counties over-exaggerated their grain production, ate to their heart's content, and cancelled winter planting, so it was hard to avoid food shortages. However, Bobai County "lived by the availability of vegetables" and worked hard on winter planting, which resulted in a bumper harvest of winter crops and helped us get through that difficult period safely and securely."
Deng Yuntai said with emotion: "Having a good leader really makes a difference. If our county didn't have that good leader back then, during that difficult period, I guess we would have been like other counties, with many people starving to death, right?"
Deng Shirong said: "If there is no good leader to take the lead, no one knows what the consequences will be. I read a document some time ago. The natural population growth rate of our county reached 11.8‰ in 1960, the most difficult year. At that time, people in other counties starved to death one after another. How could they have spare energy to have children?
So, from this we can see that our county is really not comparable to other counties.”
Deng Yunheng said, "Dad, you need to tell my second and third brothers about this. When they become leaders, don't make mistakes like this. Don't give orders without investigation, or you'll bring disaster to the people below."
"I don't need to say more about this. Your second and third brothers are top students from Tsinghua University and Peking University. Their understanding of this aspect is far beyond my reach. They must have known the situation well and would not make such a low-level mistake."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
At this point, Deng Shirong looked at his youngest son and said, "Xiaoheng, you will take the college entrance examination next year. There is only one semester left, so you must work hard. Although our family's living conditions are already very good, no matter how well you study, you brothers and sisters will all live a better life than most people in the future.
However, the college entrance examination results will still have a significant impact on your life. The difference between being admitted to a key university and not being admitted is really huge, so you must not relax, and must go all out to strive for your best results. "
Deng Yunheng nodded and said, "Dad, I understand. I have been working hard and have never relaxed. Wait for my good news!"
Deng Shirong hummed, and then said no more, and drank leisurely.
Xiao Dong'er, who had been listening attentively, could no longer sit still and asked, "Grandpa, now that Uncle Man has finished speaking, shouldn't it be my turn? Why don't you ask me?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Deng Shirong couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, okay, it's Xiaodong'er's turn now. Then you can report to Grandpa about your achievements this year!"
Xiao Dong'er immediately raised her head and showed a proud expression: "I got the first place in the class in both the spring and autumn final exams, and was named an outstanding Young Pioneer and an outstanding three-good student. At the same time, I also became the class monitor. Grandpa, do you think I am awesome?"
Deng Shirong praised, "Great! When your second uncle and third uncle were in primary school, they were not as good as you. Xiaodong'er, you must continue to work hard. If you can rank first in the grade next semester, I will take you to travel to Guilin."
Xiao Dong'er's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Grandpa, do you keep your word?"
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "It counts. As long as you can get the first place in the grade, grandpa will take you to Guilin to have a good time during the summer vacation."
Xiao Dong'er's expectations instantly skyrocketed after hearing this, and she said with great motivation: "Grandpa, you'll see, I must be the top student in the grade next semester."
Hearing this, Dongzi couldn't help it any longer and shouted, "Grandpa, I want to go to Guilin to play too."
Deng Shirong said with a smile: "Dongzi, you can go if you want. As long as I agree to let you go, I can take you. If I don't agree, then you have to stay at home. Of course, this is based on my sister being the first in the grade. If I can't be the first in the grade, then this agreement will not stand."
Dongzi looked at her sister eagerly: "Sister, can you take me with you?"
Xiao Dong'er patted her brother's shoulder like an adult and said in a condescending manner, "As long as you listen to me, I will take you there."
Dongzi nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice: "Sister, I will be obedient."
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud.
…
at the same time.
In the county government staff quarters, the Song family was also having a reunion dinner.
Father Song was in a very good mood. His eldest daughter's career had made further progress this year, and her rank was now on par with that of her father.
In time, the eldest daughter will surely surpass her father, and Song's father believes that this day is not far away and should be realized within a few years.
Because he knew his own situation, if nothing unexpected happened, the end of his official career would be the county magistrate, and it would be unlikely for him to be promoted further.
After all, he didn't have any special background, and the old leader he had followed for many years had already retired. In addition, the jump from department to bureau was a big level, and it was basically impossible to get promoted without special circumstances.
But his eldest daughter is different. As a graduate of Peking University, she has advantages that most cadres cannot match. She only needs to stay at the level of director for a few years. The threshold of department head is obviously not enough to stop his eldest daughter.
Looking at his father's rosy face, Song Yu swallowed the food in his mouth and said with emotion: "I owe Uncle Deng a favor for my successful promotion this time."
Father Song smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Dad will repay this favor for you. I also helped your uncle Deng's eldest son-in-law this year and made him a full-time deputy secretary of the county. It is probably because of this reason that your uncle Deng returned the favor and helped you."
Mother Song said with emotion: "This Naye Deng family is really amazing. Their family's company has only been established for a short time, and it has developed into a large group with hundreds of millions of funds!"
Song Yu nodded and said, "No one could have imagined this, especially the Master Kong instant noodle factory, which became so big all of a sudden. Its products are sold all over the country, and its annual revenue is in the billions, which is faster than printing money."
Hearing this, Song's father couldn't help but admire: "This Naye Deng family is amazing, and your uncle Deng is also very capable to lead Naye Deng family to this point today."
Brother Song continued, "It is said that like father, like son. Uncle Deng is so capable, and his son is also a great man. He started working two years later than Xiaoyu, but he was promoted to director faster than Xiaoyu. His talent is really amazing, he was born to do this job."
Song Yu smiled and said, "After all, this alumnus of mine is a well-known figure in our Peking University. It is normal for him to achieve such results."
Song's mother asked, "Old Song, do you think that with Deng Yunheng's promotion speed, is it possible for him to be promoted to the department level before he turns 30?"
Father Song pondered and said, "There is a certain chance, but it is still very difficult to achieve."
Song Yu drank a mouthful of soup and said, "Dad, I think he has a good chance. After all, he is only 25 years old now, and he still has four or five years to go before he turns 30!"
Father Song said, "That's true, but the promotion from department level to bureau level is a huge threshold. It's not easy to cross it smoothly. Take me for example. My current position is basically my limit. It's almost impossible to move up further."
Song Yu smiled and said, "According to the normal promotion speed of officials, this is the case. I don't know how many people have been blocked by the department level threshold. However, Deng Yunheng's promotion speed cannot be inferred by common sense. The department level threshold may be a huge gap that is difficult to cross for ordinary people, but for him, it may be easy to cross it."
Song's mother agreed and said, "I think what Xiaoyu said makes sense. Think about it, he and Xiaoyu both graduated from Peking University, and their starting points are the same. Moreover, he started working two years later than Xiaoyu, but he was able to become a director-level official first. This ability is really unmatched by many people."
Father Song said, "Then let's wait and see. Anyway, if he can be promoted to department level before he turns 30, then his chances of becoming provincial level are at least 70% to 80%. "
When these words came out, everyone except Song Yu gasped.
If it is at the department level, they can easily accept it, because Bobai County is famous for having many officials. If you really count, there are at least more than 20 department level officials in the past few decades. So the department level is not a rare level. As an outstanding talent graduating from Peking University, it is normal for them to eventually become department level officials.
However, it is different at the provincial level.
Except for a few provincial-level officials during the war years, there have been very few provincial-level officials in the entire Bobai County since liberation.
If Deng Yunheng could be promoted to the provincial level, he would be qualified to occupy a considerable space among the famous people of all ages in the Bobai County Annals. This would truly bring honor to his family. As long as Bobai County exists, his name would be passed down to future generations through the Bobai County Annals and revered by future generations.
While eating the reunion dinner, the Song family talked about official affairs, which was also a topic they would talk about every time they had a reunion. After all, there were two deputy director-level cadres in the family, so the topic naturally revolved around the two core figures in the family.
