Chapter 422: Building a family treasure house, a wild idea
After thinking of building a hospital, Deng Shirong began to look for a site for the hospital to see where it would be suitable.
Because it may be upgraded to a Grade 3A hospital in the future, this hospital must be built in an open area so that enough space can be reserved for future expansion.
Moreover, transportation must be convenient. It cannot be located in the mountains, as that would require building another road, which would simply increase construction costs.
Although the Deng Group is not short of money now, it cannot waste money like this.
To sum up the above, Deng Shirong instantly had the answer in his mind, which was to build the hospital on Apo Mountain. Apo Mountain is a relatively large mountain in Naye Village, and the rural road from Shuangwang to Shabei passes at the foot of the mountain.
This mountain is only large in area, but not high. As I said before, there are only a few mountains with an altitude of more than 100 meters in the entire Shuangwang area. They are all short peaks. The location of this Apo Mountain is less than 100 meters away from the turning point of the 60-meter Avenue. It should be ideal to build a hospital here.
After choosing the address, he sent someone to notify the elders and more prestigious members of the tribe, asking them to come to his house for a meeting at 9:30 tomorrow morning.
…
The next morning.
After Deng Shirong finished his breakfast, he took his hookah and started smoking under the longan tree.
After smoking a few cigarettes, Deng Yungui and Deng Yunqiang, who were closer, came over together.
"Uncle Nine!"
The two men greeted Deng Shirong and then took a bench and sat down.
Deng Shirong nodded, handed the pipe over and said, "Light the pipe first."
Deng Yungui took the pipe and said, "Uncle Jiu, I heard that you went abroad some time ago and visited Big Brother's capital?"
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Yes, I went to Moscow."
Deng Yunqiang asked curiously, "Uncle Jiu, this country is much more powerful than ours. What do you think when you go to their country? Are their cities more beautiful than our cities? Do the people in their country live better than ours?"
Deng Shirong said: "I went to Big Brother's capital, which is indeed very prosperous. Although Big Brother is not far from death, he is still Big Brother after all. In terms of economic conditions, there is still a big gap between our country and others.
But this is only temporary. Our country is developing better and better every year. Even if Big Brother doesn’t die, we will surpass it sooner or later, not to mention that it is only on its last breath now. "
Deng Yungui asked in confusion: "Uncle Jiu, what do you mean by Big Brother is not far from death? Is the country going to be destroyed? But I haven't heard that Big Brother is fighting with any country now!"
Deng Yunqiang also didn't understand, and said: "This big brother is so powerful, even the Americans can't destroy the country, right?"
After all, the two were just rural people who had not received much education. Although they had made a lot of money in recent years under the leadership of Deng Shirong, their vision and knowledge were still limited. They didn't even understand what kind of country Big Brother was, and thought that if it died, it would mean the country would be destroyed.
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "This death does not mean the destruction of the country."
Deng Yungui stuffed the tobacco into the pipe and asked, "If the country is not destroyed, how can we die?"
Deng Shirong said: "Let me give you a simple example. Shuangwang Township has a total of seven administrative villages, namely Bangjie, Zengcun, Zhouwang, Naqing, Hanhe, Baiping and Datong. When these villages were combined into Shuangwang Township, there was an agreement that these villages could withdraw from Shuangwang at any time.
Now, several villages have announced their withdrawal and are no longer under Shuangwang’s jurisdiction.
Other villages followed suit and also announced their withdrawal. As more villages declared independence, Shuangwang Township naturally became a mere name.
Now this big brother is similar to the Shuangwang Township I just mentioned. Do you understand what I mean?"
After hearing this, Deng Yungui and Deng Yunqiang suddenly realized.
Deng Yunqiang said with emotion: "No wonder you said that this old man was not far from death, so this is what happened!"
Deng Yungui lit the tobacco with a lighter, took a few puffs, and then said, "It's good that he died. This big brother was too threatening to us. Now that he's dead, we can sleep peacefully."
…
While the three were chatting, other members of the tribe arrived one after another.
After everyone arrived, Deng Shirong began to speak: "Dear clansmen, I called you to the meeting today mainly to discuss one thing. I plan to let the Deng Group invest in building a hospital in our Naye Village."
When these words were spoken, all the tribesmen showed surprised expressions.
The old clan leader Deng Shian asked, "Old Nine, what kind of hospital do you want to build? A hospital like Shuangwang Health Center?"
Deng Shirong shook his head and said, "Of course not. Shuangwang Health Center can only treat common colds or give vaccinations. It is helpless against more serious diseases. Our Deng's Hospital in Naye, let alone becoming a Class 3 hospital, should at least be built like the County People's Hospital."
All the tribesmen were surprised when they heard this. They didn't know what a Grade 3 hospital was, but they were certainly familiar with the County People's Hospital.
At this time, the Bobai County People's Hospital covers an area of 33,400 square meters and has a construction area of 26,400 square meters.
There are 4-story office building with a construction area of 1,224 square meters and a construction cost of 200,000 yuan; 4-story outpatient building with a construction area of 2,030 square meters and a construction cost of 1.66 million yuan; 4-story inpatient ward building with 3,875 square meters and a construction cost of 540,000 yuan; 3-story infectious department building with 1,524 square meters and a construction cost of 500,000 yuan; 3-story emergency department building with 1,849 square meters and a construction cost of 500,000 yuan; 3-story supply room building with 1,150 square meters and a construction cost of 530,000 yuan.
Although the tribesmen were not sure how much money was spent to build the County People's Hospital, the scale of the hospital was there. They were still quite shocked that the tribe leader wanted to build such a large hospital in the village.
While the tribesmen were shocked, Deng Shirong continued, "The importance of this hospital is something that everyone should understand without me saying much. In the past, some people in the village had acute illnesses. If they could be sent to the hospital in time, they would have no problem saving their lives.
However, we are too far away from the county town, about 70 or 80 kilometers away, and the old roads are difficult to travel on. The worst thing is that there are no cars. By the time we finally get a car, we are probably already dead.
But once we build a big hospital in the village, then when we encounter this kind of emergency, we don’t have to waste time like before. We can send the patient to the hospital for emergency treatment as soon as possible, and perhaps there is a chance to save his life.
Even if it is not an acute illness, it is very convenient to treat other diseases.
In short, building a large hospital in the village is a lifeline for us, the Deng family, and we will do it even if it means losing money. "
In later generations, Shuangwang slowly began to develop. Especially driven by the huge investment in the Baiping Industrial Park, the entire Shuangwang changed dramatically. Even in the year when Deng Shirong was reborn, Shuangwang’s first expressway had been completed and was about to open to traffic.
In terms of education, Shuangwang Junior High School is also well-known throughout the county.
The only thing that is really hard to describe is the medical care. Shuangwang Health Center is not necessarily better than private clinics. Tens of thousands of people in the town come to see a doctor. For minor illnesses like colds and fevers, they either buy medicine themselves or go to the village barefoot doctors for treatment.
If you can't get the medicine you buy yourself or find the barefoot doctor in the village, go to the county people's hospital.
Of course, some people go to neighboring towns such as Longtan or Shabei for treatment. In any case, very few people go to Shuangwang Health Center for treatment, because among the 28 towns in Bobai, the technical strength of Shuangwang Town Health Center is definitely at the bottom.
"Uncle Jiu is right, this hospital must be built."
"My mother died of an acute illness. If she had been sent to the hospital in time, she might not have died. This hospital is so important."
"If Jiu Gong hadn't said it, I wouldn't have thought about these problems. We really have to build this hospital. No one can avoid getting sick if they eat all kinds of grains. If we have our own hospital, we won't have to worry about seeing a doctor in the future."
"Jiu Gong, I fully agree. This hospital must be built quickly. From now on, the safety of our Naye Deng family will be guaranteed."
“…”
After listening to Deng Shirong's talk about the importance of this hospital, all the tribesmen unanimously agreed to build a large hospital in the village. Now that everyone has money and their lives are better, who doesn't want to have more protection for their lives?
"Okay, since everyone has no objection, then this is settled."
Deng Shirong made the decision and said, "I plan to build this hospital on Apo Mountain. It is located at a higher altitude, has a large enough area, and has convenient transportation. It is the best place to build a hospital."
Upon hearing this, the tribesmen naturally agreed, and the matter of building a hospital was decided.
…
Next, Deng Shirong did not simply become a hands-off boss, but actively promoted the construction of the hospital.
Setting up private hospitals in this era is naturally not a problem in terms of policies. Private hospitals in my country had already appeared as early as the 1980s.
However, the real large-scale development of private hospitals did not occur until after 2001.
Before 2001, due to the state-owned management of hospitals in my country, public hospitals were directly managed by local health departments, and the establishment of private hospitals had to be approved by local health departments. Although the policy did not restrict the establishment of private hospitals, the health departments were very strict in approving private hospitals in order to protect public hospitals. It was difficult for private hospitals to develop in such an environment.
It was not until September 2001 that my country opened up its medical market and encouraged the development of private medical institutions, and private hospitals began to appear in large numbers in society.
Naye Dengshi did not build a hospital directly in the county seat, but built a hospital in the countryside seventy or eighty kilometers away from the county seat. Although it would have a certain impact on the public hospitals in the county seat, it did not form direct competition. Naturally, the establishment of the hospital easily passed the review of the health department.
The establishment of the hospital was not a problem, and an agreement was quickly reached with the relevant departments on taxation.
In fact, there is no unified standard for taxation of private hospitals in this era, because private hospitals are basically new things, and the health and taxation departments have different policies on what kind of tax should be collected. If taxes are collected as enterprises, then hospitals will have to pay 5.5% of gross income, in addition to 16 other taxes, which are really difficult for hospitals to bear.
Regarding the tax exemption issue for for-profit hospitals, policies vary from place to place.
In short, policies vary across the country, and local tax departments have to make the decision themselves.
The influence of the Naye Deng family in Bobai County is unquestionable, and they have also received the most preferential policies in terms of taxation.
Deng Shirong would naturally strive for these preferential policies if he could. Although he was happy to pay taxes to the country, he had already prepared himself to make a loss when building this hospital. If taxes were still levied on the corporate basis, it would be even worse and he would lose even more.
As I said, the Deng Group is rich, but it cannot be wasted like this.
If the tax burden was not so heavy, then if Ye Deng's hospital could be run well for a few years and gradually build up its reputation, then perhaps it would have a chance to turn losses into profits.
After all, in our country, as long as the hospital is strong enough, there will never be a shortage of patients. Even in later times when hospitals are everywhere, there are countless patients queuing up in those Grade A hospitals every day, which shows how scarce medical resources are.
When it comes to the hospital's architectural design, Deng Shirong did not bother to find two people for the job and went to Nanning Architectural Design Institute.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Deng Shirong explained his ideas to the designer clearly, asking for the design to be based on the standards of a Class III hospital to facilitate future upgrades.
After finishing all these, Deng Shirong finally became a hands-off boss with peace of mind.
Seeing that there was still some time before his youngest daughter's wedding, Deng Shirong, who had nothing to do, wondered whether he should sell some of the supplies he got from his eldest brother first.
Anyway, most of the supplies are raw materials. As long as they are shipped across the country and the quantity shipped each time is not large, they will definitely not attract attention.
However, if you think about it carefully, it seems not cost-effective to ship the goods now.
Because money is constantly depreciating, it is better to keep the supplies in hand than to exchange them for money!
Unless you sell the materials first, convert them into money and then invest, that would be fine.
However, he has no plans to invest at present. If he wants to invest, he has to wait until the Internet era arrives. Only then will investing in the Internet bring real huge profits.
Therefore, instead of selling these materials now, it would be more cost-effective to wait a few years before selling them.
Deng Shirong was not in a hurry to convert the more than 10 million US dollars in his hand into RMB. He remembered that it was written in an online novel in his previous life that in 1993, the exchange rate of the US dollar to the RMB experienced a large change.
Especially on the black market, one US dollar can be exchanged for up to a dozen RMB.
Deng Shirong planned to keep these US dollars first, and when this wave of changes came, he would exchange them into RMB at the highest price. By then, these more than 10 million US dollars could at least be exchanged for a few hundred million RMB, which was really good.
As for gold, there is no need to say more. The current gold price is several times lower than that in later generations!
What's more, this thing has been hard currency since ancient times. Unless something major happens, Deng Shirong has no intention of spending this gold.
He had already made up his mind these days. Before he died, he would spend money to build a treasure house, and put all the gold, jewelry, rosewood, and some valuable things he might get in the future into the treasure house, and they would become their family's ancestral treasures.
At that time, he would leave a family motto, forbidding the family from coveting the treasure until the family was completely destitute. This way, even if his grandchildren and descendants ruined the family fortune one day, they would still have the capital to make a comeback.
He was not afraid that his descendants would not follow his ancestors' teachings, so he would build five doors in the treasure house, each with a most advanced combination lock. Then each son's descendants would know the combination of a door, and it would be passed down from generation to generation. If anyone wanted to open the treasure house, they would have to obtain the consent of each family.
In this way, it can be guaranteed to the greatest extent that the things in this treasure house will be used by future generations to make a comeback instead of being squandered.
People who have read this novel too much have wild and imaginative ideas.
…
In a blink of an eye, it was the tenth day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar.
There are less than two days left before Deng Yunzhu's wedding.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, all the relatives who came to see off the bride arrived at the Wuyue Fangchang mansion in Nanning.
When his youngest daughter got married, Deng Shirong did not hold it as grandly as he did when his eldest daughter got married.
It's not that he favors his eldest daughter. The main reason is that his eldest daughter got married in Bobai County, and the wedding venue was in their own hotel, which was equivalent to a wedding jointly held by the man and woman. In addition, the man's parents could not afford the occasion, so Deng Shirong basically hosted the whole process, which was naturally different.
Now, the younger daughter is getting married in Guangzhou, and the wedding is hosted by the man's family. Deng Shirong did not make it so grand. He only invited the closest relatives to come to the wedding, and did not invite other relatives and clansmen, in order to avoid having too many guests who would overshadow the main event.
The closest relatives are naturally my third sister’s family and my two brothers-in-law’s families.
Including our own family members, the number is already large enough. If we invite other relatives and clansmen, the number will be a bit scary.
After everyone arrived, they went to the hot pot restaurant on the second floor to eat together.
With so many people, they naturally sit separately. Those who like spicy food can sit at one table, and those who don’t sit at another table. This way, there won’t be the trouble of having two people eat together.
While eating hot pot, Deng Shirong looked at his little niece and said, "Xiaofang, your second cousin is getting married now, and you are not young anymore. Tell your uncle what kind of partner you like, and he will help you find one."
Bu Xiaofang is one year younger than Deng Yunzhu and is already 24 years old this year. As her family has become better off over the years, she has seen a lot of the world. When she heard her uncle mention her marriage in front of so many people, she was not shy, but answered boldly: "Uncle, if you want to find a partner for me, can you find me someone like Guo Jing in The Legend of the Condor Heroes?"
Deng Shirong was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "You dare to think so. I will help you find someone who has a similar personality to Guo Jing."
Bu Xiaofang blinked and said, "Uncle, it's not enough to just have similar personalities. He also has to have the ability."
Deng Shilan at the next table couldn't help but scold him when she heard this: "You damn girl, it's good enough that your uncle can help you find one, but you're still so picky. You don't have any ability yourself, but you still want to find a capable man. How can you get married if you're so picky!"
Bu Xiaofang stuck out her tongue when she was scolded. Actually, she didn't want to be so picky, but she looked down on those slick-tongued men in the countryside, and she also looked down on honest and decent men. She herself didn't know what kind of partner she wanted to find.
As the years passed, it would be a lie to say that she was not anxious. However, marriage was a lifelong event and she had to marry a man she liked no matter how anxious she was. If there was no man she liked, she would rather not marry.
Deng Yunzhu smiled and said, "Cousin, if you want to find a capable man, you have to go out. Otherwise, if you stay in a place like Baoshan Village, you will see those people all day long. How can you find someone who satisfies you?"
Bu Xiaofang smiled bitterly and said, "Second cousin, I also want to get out, but my mother is worried. She always says there are many scammers out there, so she wants me to find someone to marry in a nearby village and live an honest life."
Deng Shilan couldn't help but sit over with the bowl in hand and said, "Girl, look at how good your sister is. You married close to me and can meet her anytime you want. If you married far away, we might not see each other once a year."
Deng Shirong quickly replied, "Third sister, you have to change your old ideas. In the past, people didn't support marrying far away because of poor conditions and inconvenient transportation. After marrying far away, as you said, you may not see your parents for a whole year or even two or three years.
But things are different now. First, the family is richer, and second, transportation is becoming more and more convenient. No matter where you marry, you can travel back and forth frequently.
Moreover, even if I can’t see someone, I can always call them, which is really different from before.”
Deng Yunzhu also echoed, "Third aunt, my father is right. Look, I am just married far away. It's nothing. If I want to come back, I can just take a bus back."
Deng Shilan sighed and said, "I know that times have changed. I am mainly worried that if she marries far away, she will have conflicts with her in-laws and will be bullied without anyone to back her up. If she marries close by, her brothers can rush over at any time, and this won't happen."
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Third sister, it's too early to talk about this now. Let's wait until I find a suitable candidate!"
Bu Xiaofang looked at her mother and said confidently, "Mom, you're overthinking it. With my uncle here, who would dare to bully me?"
Hearing this, Bu Zhongshi, the car owner, patted his chest and said proudly, "It's just a small matter, why does my uncle need to intervene? Whoever dares to bully my sister, I will beat the shit out of him."
Bu Xiaofang said proudly: "Mom, you see, I have my brother and uncle to support me, who dares to bully me?"
Deng Shilan glared at her and said, "Okay, as long as it's the person your uncle finds for you, I have no objection no matter how far away you marry."
Bu Xiaofang looked at her uncle and said, "Uncle, my marriage is up to you."
Deng Shirong said: "I will keep an eye on it and tell you when I find a suitable candidate."
