Chapter 405 The millionaire boss is different

Guangzhou.

Zhou family.

Today is the weekend, and the Zhou family invited the Deng family father and daughter to their home for dinner. Old man Zhou’s son, daughter-in-law, daughter, and son-in-law are all here.

In the kitchen, Zhou's mother was cooking with her eldest daughter Zhou Haiqiong, third daughter Zhou Haiyan, youngest daughter Zhou Hailu and second daughter-in-law.

The Zhou family ranks sons and daughters together. If they were ranked separately, the third daughter would be the second daughter, and the second daughter-in-law would be the eldest daughter-in-law.

In the living room, Old Man Zhou, his eldest son-in-law Qin Gang, his second son Zhou Haimin, and his fourth son Zhou Haidong were drinking tea and chatting together.

Qin Gang looked at his brother-in-law Zhou Haidong and said, "Haidong, the person Dad found for you is really amazing. He can buy a shop worth 560,000 yuan at will. His financial strength is really amazing. He is much richer than your cousin who runs a hot pot restaurant."

Zhou Haidong was also somewhat amazed and said: "I really didn't expect her financial resources to be so strong."

Old Man Zhou said, "It's not surprising if you think about it. The hot pot restaurant she opened in Nanning covers an area of ​​2,000 to 3,000 square meters. When she invited us to dinner there before, we also saw that the hot pot restaurant was doing very well. It's normal that it makes more money than Aqiang's hot pot restaurant."

Zhou Haimin said: "Next, our family will have a big boss, a big boss with a net worth of over a million."

Zhou Haidong said: "Brother, it's too early to say this now. We don't know if it will work or not!"

Qin Gang smiled and continued, "Haidong, don't be so modest. If the girl didn't fancy you, she wouldn't have asked Dad to help her find a shop and then planned to open a hot pot restaurant in Guangzhou. This is obviously a plan for the future."

Old Man Zhou took a sip of tea and said, "Haidong, I have my eyes on this daughter-in-law. Her father also thinks you are good, and Ah Zhu should have a good impression of you as well. As long as you don't make any mistakes, this marriage should be almost certain."

Hearing his father's words, Zhou Haidong couldn't help but chuckle. After he came back from Nanning, he had been actively calling and writing to Deng Yunzhu. Naturally, he could feel whether this girl was interested in him or not.

In fact, whether a man and a woman have sexual feelings for each other, anyone with normal IQ can tell after spending some time together.

It is even easier to distinguish between men and women who are on blind dates, because both parties are aiming to get married.

…

hotel.

Deng Yunzhu asked, "Dad, we go to someone's house for dinner, what does that mean? Are we just guarding the house?"

Deng Shirong said, "Just think of it as a visit to the family. It was me and his father who decided that you and Haidong should go on a blind date. We didn't hire a matchmaker, so the rules are naturally not that strict. The visit to the family step was omitted, or it can be said to be downplayed."

Deng Yunzhu pondered and said, "Dad, they're inviting us to dinner, so the whole family must be here. Should I go get my hair done and dress up?"

Deng Shirong waved his hand and said, "No need, you are fine like this."

Deng Yunzhu asked: "Then what gifts should we bring?"

Deng Shirong said: "I have already prepared all these. It's getting late now. Let's go first!"

Deng Yunzhu said: "Okay!"

…

It was around 10:30 in the morning when Deng Shirong and his daughter arrived at Zhou's house.

Leaving aside the greetings and introductions to each other, Deng Shirong and his daughter also looked around the house as they sat down to drink tea.

The Zhou family lives in the welfare housing of the procuratorate. Currently, only Zhou's father and mother, as well as Zhou Haidong and Zhou Hailu, live here. The other children live in the welfare housing of their respective units.

As we all know, the living conditions of the welfare housing provided by the unit are actually not as good as those of commercial housing. Before Mr. Zhou retired, he was a deputy director-level cadre. The welfare housing he was allocated was considered quite good, with three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom, which was enviable in that era.

However, the house is not large and its decoration is just that of an ordinary one. For Deng Shirong and his daughter, who are used to living in super luxury houses like the Deng's Community in Bobai Naye and Wuyue Plaza, the living conditions are indeed average and not worth mentioning.

After a few polite words, Deng Shirong looked at Qin Gang and said, "Captain Qin, thank you for helping my daughter, Ah Zhu, find such a good shop this time."

Qin Gang smiled and said, "Uncle Jiu, you are too polite. It's just a piece of cake. I didn't expect Ah Zhu to buy the shop. You are indeed a big boss. You are so bold."

Deng Yunzhu smiled and said, "Captain Qin, you are too kind. I am not a big boss."

Qin Haiyan smiled and continued, "Azhu, you are too modest. You bought a shop worth 560,000 yuan without any hesitation. If you are not considered a big boss, then there are probably not many big bosses in the country."

Deng Shirong said: "Speaking of this, I have to thank Captain Qin again. After we buy this shop, I'm afraid its value will double in a few years."

Qin Gang was surprised and asked, "Uncle Jiu, are you so optimistic about this shop?"

"I am not optimistic about this shop, but I am optimistic about the development of Guangzhou."

Deng Shirong said with a smile: "Guangzhou is the frontier of reform and opening up. You are locals in Guangzhou. I believe you have felt the changes in this city in the past few years. In the future, whether it is houses or shops, the prices will become higher and higher, and it is not surprising that they will even double.

If you have some spare money, you can try to buy some shops or commercial houses. As long as you buy them, you will make a lot of money sooner or later."

When Old Man Zhou met Deng Shirong for the first time, they talked from morning to night. He was very impressed by his knowledge and vision. Moreover, Guangzhou has indeed undergone considerable changes in the past few years. Perhaps the prices of shops and houses are really appreciating as he said.

Thinking of this, Old Man Zhou nodded and said, "Uncle Jiu, you have a unique vision. Since you said that the store and the house will appreciate in value in the future, I will keep an eye on it later. If there is a suitable small store or house, I will buy it."

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Don't worry, you will definitely make money if you buy it."

He was 100% sure of this because in Guangzhou in the 1990s, you could buy houses and shops with your eyes closed and would only make money, no matter what the price.

Deng Yunzhu had absolute trust in her father's vision. When she heard what her father said, she said excitedly, "Dad, you are so optimistic about the shops and houses in Guangzhou, so should I buy more and wait for them to appreciate in value?"

Deng Shirong said: "Of course I have to buy it, but there is no need to rush. You should open this hot pot restaurant in Guangzhou first!"

The Zhou family members were all shocked when they heard this. Judging from the tone of Deng Yunzhu's voice, she obviously still had a lot of money in her hands. This millionaire boss was really different.

Next, everyone chatted casually. Everyone in the Zhou family was paid by the government, and their knowledge was truly incomparable to that of ordinary people. No matter what they talked about, there was always someone who could connect with the conversation. And Deng Shirong had the memories of his past life, so his knowledge was even more extraordinary.

Both parties had a very pleasant chat.

While everyone was chatting, Zhou Haidong also sat next to Deng Yunzhu, and they naturally had their own topics to talk about.

At around half past eleven, Zhou's mother and others finally prepared the meal.

All the dishes they cooked were authentic Cantonese cuisine, as the tastes in Guangdong and Guangxi are consistent. Although the cooking skills of Zhou's mother and daughter-in-law and daughter are not as good as those of professional chefs, they each have some specialties, and when they get together, they can prepare a nice meal.

The people of Guangdong and Guangxi are famous for their love of drinking soup, so the wives of Guangdong and Guangxi may not be very good at cooking other dishes, but many of them can make a pot of delicious soup.

Drinking soup before meals is also a custom in most parts of Guangdong and Guangxi.

So, before starting to eat, the Zhou family enthusiastically served a bowl of soup to Deng Shirong and his daughter.

Old Zhou said, "Uncle Jiu, Ah Zhu, this black chicken soup is my wife's specialty. Would you like to try it and see how it tastes?"

"Well, let me try it."

Deng Yunzhu scooped a spoonful with a spoon to taste it, and then praised: "This soup is so fresh and fragrant. Auntie, you are really good at cooking."

Zhou's mother was so flattered that she smiled: "Haha, Ah Zhu, drink more if you like."

Deng Yunzhu said: "Okay, I will definitely drink more."

This meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.

Deng Yunzhu's emotional intelligence is still good. Although the dishes made by the Zhou family cannot compare with those made by her father, she still praised the dishes and soup highly, which made the women in the Zhou family very happy.

After the meal, Deng Shirong and his daughter stayed at Zhou's house for about half an hour to drink tea before saying goodbye and leaving.

After watching the Deng family father and daughter leave, Qin Gang, who works at the Public Security Bureau, was the first to praise them: "Uncle Jiu is just as Dad said, he is well-informed. And Ah Zhu is worthy of being a boss with such a big business. His way of dealing with people is no worse than those in the system!"

Zhou Haiqiong echoed, "My garlic-flavored pork ribs weren't that great, but a big boss like her must have eaten all kinds of delicious food. She was so attentive in praising my dish. She really knows how to talk!"

Zhou Haiyan patted her fourth brother on the shoulder and said with emotion: "Haidong, you really found a treasure this time!"

Others also praised them, saying that the visit of Deng Shirong and his daughter left a good first impression on the Zhou family.

Zhou Haidong laughed when he heard this. He felt proud that his girlfriend was praised by the whole family.

…

Deng Shirong did not stay in Guangzhou for long. He went to Zhou's house for a meal, had morning tea with Lao Zhou and Lao Huang the next day, and then got on the bus back to Nanning.

He did not go to Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Sciences to disturb his youngest son's studies, mainly because they had not been separated for long and Guangzhou was not far away, so it was still very convenient to come from Nanning. Unlike his second and third sons who were far away in Beijing, it was not easy to see them.

As for Deng Yunzhu, she stayed in Guangzhou to find someone to decorate her hot pot restaurant.

For her safety, Deng Shirong even called back to Nanning and asked for two security personnel to come over.

Regarding the decoration of the hot pot restaurant, the Zhou family is considered a small local boss and knows a lot of people from all walks of life. Naturally, they can help Deng Yunzhu find a reliable decoration team.

During the renovation of the hot pot restaurant, Zhou Haidong would come here whenever he had free time except during working hours, and was very attentive to Deng Yunzhu.

As they spent more time together, their feelings naturally grew better and better. To use the terms of later generations' relationships, they could be considered a couple.

However, relationships between couples nowadays are not as casual as in later generations. In later generations, once they become a couple, it is very rare that they do not go to bed together. Many couples even choose to live together before marriage.

Although there are couples who eat the forbidden fruit in this era, it is obviously impossible for such a thing to happen to Deng Yunzhu.

Deng Shirong returned to Nanning. His mother-in-law and elder sister were still there. This time they came to stay for a while.

Gu's mother and daughter are both fans of upgrading. Deng Shirong plays upgrading with them every day. His partner is his second daughter-in-law. With his miraculous cooperation, his second daughter-in-law plays very well. Basically, as long as she gets good cards, she will win.

Another round ended, and Gu Caiwei finally spread out her hands and laughed, "Six buckles, mom, sister, you lost again!"

Gu Caixiao widened her eyes and said, "Weiwei, how come you have become so powerful now!"

Gu Caiwei laughed and said, "Sister, now you know how powerful I am, right? When dad and I join forces, we are invincible."

Mother Gu looked at Deng Shirong and exclaimed, "My dear, we know Weiwei's level. She is like a different person after partnering with you. Your card skills are amazing."

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, Weiwei is also very good at playing cards."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Mother Gu's heart moved, and she said, "My dear, next time you go to Wuhan, let Lao Gu take you to play cards with the leader. His leader also likes to play this upgraded game."

Deng Shirong was not surprised to hear this, because in his previous life, his third son often played poker with the leaders. As mentioned before, poker is one of the rare poker games that is extremely interesting to play even without any stakes, so it is naturally loved by the officials in the system.

Especially from the 1990s to the early 21st century, almost all units in Bobai County liked to play with upgrades.

Upgrade is a popular way of playing poker throughout the country, and naturally it is not only popular in Bobai County. It is not surprising that his in-laws' leader likes to play it.

Being able to play cards with your leader and make him happy is a huge benefit, and those who understand will understand.

Apart from anything else, just a little help at the critical moment will benefit you greatly.

Therefore, hearing what Gu's mother said, Deng Shirong said with a hint of meaning: "Mother-in-law, if my father-in-law needs anything, please inform me at any time. I can cooperate with him."

The words were so obvious that Mother Gu naturally understood them. She smiled and said, "Then thank you in-laws first."

Deng Shirong said: "We are all family, you are welcome."

…

The mother and daughter of the Gu family lived in Nanning for nearly a month before flying back to Wuhan.

During this month, Deng Shirong's nephew Bu Xiaoshi also came to Nanning with his wife Yan Shuwen to develop their business. They followed their uncle's advice and planned to open a hair salon in Nanning. They have already rented the shop and are currently renovating it.

The couple naturally lives in their uncle's house now. When Yan Shuwen first saw her uncle's super luxury house, she was naturally amazed. Such a luxury house would be amazing even in later generations, and it is even more amazing in this era.

The Deng Group has also developed extremely rapidly. First of all, the sales of instant noodles have further increased. The daily sales have exceeded 5 million packs, which is the most profitable business of the Deng Group so far.

The second is Eight Treasure Porridge. Although the Deng Group did not spend money on publicity, the popularity of this Eight Treasure Porridge quickly became known after it was labeled as Master Kong.

The reason why it was so successful was that Master Kong's canned Eight Treasure Porridge was a major innovation. Before this, Eight Treasure Porridge was sold in dessert shops, or the raw materials were simply prepared for customers to buy and cook at home.

Canned eight-treasure porridge like Master Kong's, which can be bought and eaten immediately, is so convenient. Moreover, it is loved by men, women, young and old, and has a very wide audience. The current daily sales volume has exceeded 300,000 bottles, and has also brought considerable profits to the Deng Group.

Then there is Master Kong Ice Black Tea. This product is currently being promoted and marketed through the instant noodle channel. Due to its low price, it is also popular with customers and its sales are getting better day by day.

There is also Huang Jiayue mooncakes. Its sales this year are average, but the feedback from customers is good, so sales should increase next year.

Then there is the Qiandao Lake water source base, which is also under construction in full swing.

Finally, Deng’s Real Estate is no longer a small-scale business as before, but has been formed into a regular army. It is currently building the Deng’s Group headquarters. After the headquarters is completed, it plans to officially enter the real estate development industry.

Deng Shirong has already chosen the location for his first real estate development, which is in Guangzhou.

…

Nanning Architectural Design Institute.

Deng Shirong was looking at the renderings created by Dean Huang himself.

The two have collaborated many times over the past few years. Dean Huang knows his preferences very well, and the night market street he designed made Deng Shirong extremely satisfied.

This night market street is still designed in ancient style. This ancient style design does not mean that there are no modern elements, but it is designed with ancient style as the core element. To give the simplest analogy, it is like a delicacy. No matter how its appearance changes, its taste remains the same.

This is the design of this night market street. Modern decoration can be used, but when you look at the whole street as a whole, it has an ancient charm.

If the decoration style also adopts ancient style, it will be truly antique.

The reason why Deng Shirong did this was naturally for future planning. Now that he had built this night market street and rented the shops to merchants, even if he didn't say anything, the merchants would definitely adopt modern decoration.

This modern decoration is beneficial to the early development of the night market.

When it develops to the future, the decoration will be outdated. Then it can be renovated and changed to ancient style, which will definitely make this night market popular all over the country.

After seeing the renderings of the night market street, Deng Shirong praised it highly and said, "President Huang, your design ability is getting stronger and stronger. There are probably not many people in the country who can compare with you in the field of ancient style design."

Dean Huang said with a smile: "Boss Deng, thank you for your compliment. I'm glad you're satisfied."

"I am very satisfied and we have a pleasant cooperation."

“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”

…

As the saying goes, good things should be kept within the family. Since Deng's Real Estate has already formed a regular army, Deng Shirong will naturally not hand over the construction project of this night market street to others, but will hand it over to Deng's Real Estate to be responsible for the construction.

Of course, a contract was signed, public is public and private is private, and Deng Shirong would not use his status to seek personal gain.

…

Before we knew it, 1990 had come to an end and 1991 had arrived.

In January 1991, an event that shocked the whole world was about to take place, and this event also had a profound impact on our country.

This major event was none other than the Gulf War, which is hailed as the first high-tech war in human history.

In the past life, before the outbreak of the Gulf War, although the United States was one of the only two superpowers in the world and would soon become the only superpower, to be honest, many countries in the world had doubts about the United States' combat capabilities, including our country.

After all, the failures of the United States in the Korean and Vietnam battlefields were obvious to all. In addition, Iran was not a good person at the time and his strength was also very powerful.

At that time, the whole world was laughing at the Americans. Even most countries believed that if the Americans launched a strong attack, Iran would be able to hold out for at least a year based on its military strength.

As a result, all countries were slapped in the face. After the outbreak of the Gulf War, the strength demonstrated by the United States taught the whole world a severe lesson.

From the time the troops were dispatched to the time they were finished, the old US Army took only 100 hours to completely wipe out the old Iraqi army. The result of this war made countries around the world realize the importance of technology to warfare. The so-called human wave tactics and fighting spirit were no longer effective.

At the same time, it also completely woke us up and made us objectively recognize the gap between us and the Americans.

Through this war, we began to reflect on and accelerate reforms in the military field. Our equipment became more sophisticated, which promoted the process of military modernization.

During the stage when we were catching up, no matter how the Americans provoked us, we remained rational and calm and never dared to act rashly.

In the following three years, 1996, 1999 and 2001, three well-known events occurred. If there had been no war, without knowing the strength of the other side, we would not necessarily have been so tolerant, and a conflict would have likely broken out.

If that happens, the consequences will probably be serious.

In later generations, those ignorant people who were unaware of the truth only knew to blame the country for being weak, but they did not know how serious the consequences would have been if we had not been tolerant at that time.

Who wouldn't want to punch the other person in the nose after being provoked like this?

But can this punch be delivered?

Didn't you see that the provocateur was holding a knife? When you punched him, before you even hit him, his knife might have already stabbed you.

If you lag behind, you will be beaten. If you don’t want to be beaten, you must make yourself stronger. This is what our country did, exchanging tolerance for development. In later generations, we have finally greatly narrowed the power gap between us and the United States.

With strong strength as a backing, my country's international status is no longer what it used to be. The most obvious example is a classic scene that took place in the Security Council in later generations. Our representatives sat down when they wanted to and stood up when they wanted to. The attitude of our representatives directly affected the entire audience, and it made people excited just by watching it.

Now, as the war that will wake up the whole world is about to break out, Deng Shirong has been paying close attention.
