Chapter 461 After knowing the details of her husband's family, Fan Yuemei was completely numb!
Nanning.
Ever since the home appliance store was taken over by his fiancée Fan Yuemei, Deng Yunhua has completely become a hands-off boss, spending his days eating, drinking and having fun, leading a very carefree life.
Recently, Deng Yunhua has become fond of playing billiards and often goes to the billiard hall of his two brothers-in-law to play billiards.
Today, after lunch, Deng Yunhua, who had nothing to do, came to his brother-in-law's billiard hall again.
"Brother-in-law, you're here!" Fan Yueqiang came up and greeted him.
Deng Yunhua pointed to a pool table that was crowded with people and asked, "Are there any experts here today?"
Fan Yueqiang shook his head and whispered, "It's not a master, it's someone gambling. Brother-in-law, do you want to go over and take a look?"
Deng Yunhua understood what he said. Generally speaking, there are only two situations in which playing billiards can attract so many people to watch:
One type is those with excellent billiards skills. Watching those real masters play billiards is a real enjoyment for billiards enthusiasts.
Another way is to gamble while playing billiards, especially those with slightly larger stakes, or when bystanders also place bets, which will attract a crowd of onlookers.
However, gambling on billiards is not very eye-catching among the various types of gambling. At best, it is just a small gamble for fun, and few people would get addicted to it.
Because this game is about skill, not luck. If you can't beat the other person, you just can't beat him, no matter how unwilling you are.
Of course, there are also experts who deliberately cast the line to fish, but this way they can only win small money. It is difficult to win big money, unless you really meet a rich idiot, that's another story.
So since the birth of billiard halls in China, it is rare to see police stations going to billiard halls to arrest gamblers. If they even arrest this kind of people, then there is no need to open the numerous mahjong halls across the country. Everyone knows that people who come to mahjong halls to play mahjong will gamble. Deng Yunhua picked up a billiard cue and said, "I won't watch it. You can play a few games with me!"
Fan Yueqiang responded and walked over to pick up a pool cue.
Playing billiards is very dependent on talent. People with good talent can become amateur masters after a little practice, while people without talent will only be average no matter how much they practice.
Deng Yunhua and Fan Yueqiang's talents are neither good nor bad, and they are evenly matched when they fight. Sometimes you win a game, sometimes I win a game, and the game is still very interesting.
Anything competitive is fun only when the two sides are evenly matched. If it's just a matter of bullying, then unless it's for gambling, neither the loser nor the winner will find it interesting.
After playing seven or eight games in a row, Deng Yunhua finally put down the pool cue and said, "Okay, let's stop here for today!"
Fan Yueqiang flattered: "Brother-in-law, you are really amazing. I practice here every day, but I can't beat you."
"Okay, stop flattering me. I can't beat you anyway."
At this point, Deng Yunhua saw that there were still so many people gathered there, and it was obvious that the fight was not over yet. He could not help but remind them, "Yueqiang, remember, don't get involved in this kind of thing. Tell your brother later that if there are guests who are short of opponents, you can go down and fight with them, but you can't gamble."
Fan Yueqiang nodded and said, "Brother-in-law, I know. My sister has also told us about this issue. When we play with guests, we calculate the table fee for each game. If the guest wins, he doesn't have to pay the table fee. If he loses, he has to pay the table fee. It's like practicing with them.
We don’t participate in real money gambling.”
"That's good. OK, I'll go back first!"
"Okay, brother-in-law."
…
In the past two months, Master Kong instant noodles and Uni-President instant noodles have been fighting fiercely.
There is no doubt that Uni-President Instant Noodles was the first to start this war. In the past few years, Master Kong has been the only dominant player in the domestic instant noodle market, occupying a huge market share, and other instant noodle brands have no chance of competing with it.
As the leading instant noodle brand in Taiwan, Uni-President also tried to innovate after entering the mainland market. Unfortunately, their innovations could not shake the market share that Master Kong had maintained for many years. So they had no choice but to take a different approach and began to imitate and copy Master Kong's instant noodles of various flavors, and then sell them at a lower price.
Master Kong would naturally not sit idly by and watch, so it directly launched a limited-time benefit and gave away sausages to fight back, which achieved good results.
However, Uni-President Instant Noodles also made up its mind and chose to lower the price again. Even if it does not make money, it must first establish its own brand.
According to the original plan, Master Kong was going to give away two hams to offset the price cut by Uni-President. However, seeing Uni-President's aggressive approach, Master Kong, which is also a big company, was not going to tolerate it. It wanted to start a price war, right? Then let's fight. Who is afraid of whom? So, Master Kong's instant noodles also followed suit and cut prices across the board. It launched a limited-time promotion, directly reducing the price to the same as Uni-President instant noodles, and also gave away a ham sausage.
Selling at this price, the profit margin of Master Kong instant noodles becomes very thin.
Fortunately, Master Kong has been operating in China for many years and has achieved extreme results in cost reduction. Therefore, although the sales price is low, after calculation, there is still a little profit. If it were a newcomer like Uni-President, it would definitely lose money.
Because Uni-President’s scale in China is far from comparable to that of Master Kong.
And this is indeed the case. This move by Master Kong directly silenced Uni-President.
If Uni-President starts giving away ham, it will definitely lose money. It is not a big deal to lose a little money, it can be regarded as spending the money on advertising. But the key point is that even if it loses money, it may not be able to outperform Master Kong.
After all, for domestic customers, what is Uni-President? They have never heard of it. Master Kong is a well-known brand.
At the same price, most customers will naturally choose Master Kong instead of Uni-President.
…
Just as Tongyi remained silent, July came to an end and the festive August arrived.
On the second day of August, the entire Wuyue Square was hung with red wedding cloths, and bright red "囍" characters were pasted everywhere, making it clear at a glance that someone was holding a wedding banquet.
At ten o'clock in the morning, a dozen wedding cars decorated very festively came to pick up the beautiful bride Fan Yuemei, along with her wedding guests.
These wedding guests were all close relatives and friends of the Fan family.
Among these relatives and friends, the one with the best economic conditions is Fan Yuemei's aunt Qin Fengli. She married to Liuzhou and her family is engaged in breeding. It is said that she can earn tens of thousands of yuan a year, which is considered remarkable among many relatives.
Qin Fengzhen and her younger sister Qin Fengli have a pretty good relationship, but the two sisters are not in the same city. They only visit each other when there are big happy events like weddings. Normally, they may not see each other once a year.
This time, hearing that her niece had married a super rich man, Qin Fengli's family of five all came.
After getting off the car, Qin Fengli's family were secretly amazed at the festively decorated Five Mountains Square in front of them. They had heard last night that this Five Mountains Square was also the home of their nephew's husband.
Of course, compared with an entire snack street, the Five Mountains Square is nothing.
Soon, Qin Fengli's family and other wedding guests were led by the groom's wedding reception staff to the fifth floor of Wuyue Square.
After entering the super luxury house on the fifth floor, all the wedding guests from the bride's side were stunned.
"Oh my god, this house is so big and beautiful!"
"Even the ancient imperial palace would probably be no more than this, right?"
"It seems that my cousin's husband's family is richer than we thought!"
“…”
All the relatives and friends were amazed. Such amazement was nothing new to Deng Shirong's family.
After all, every time a guest comes, he will be amazed when he sees this mansion. So far, no guest can remain calm when facing this mansion.
Deng Shirong greeted with a smile: "Dear relatives, please be at your leisure. If you want to drink tea, please sit down and drink tea. If you want to visit, please visit. Don't be restrained!"
At this time, who would still have the heart to drink tea? After a few polite words, the wedding guests began to visit this extremely beautiful mansion in groups of three or five. Qin Fengli's family of five was naturally among them.
While touring the house, Qin Fengli's husband Zhao Guojin said with emotion: "Fengli, your niece married so well, your sister's family is really going to be rich!"
Qin Fengli nodded and said, "Yes, Yuemei is so beautiful and was admitted to a key university. I knew she would marry well in the future, but I never thought she would marry so well. My sister can enjoy the happiness with me in the future!"
Qin Fengli's daughter Zhao Fanghua said with envy: "My cousin is so lucky!"
Qin Fengli said, "If your cousin marries you, she will definitely meet rich and powerful people in the future. You should keep in touch with your cousin more often and ask her to introduce you to a good partner in a few years."
Zhao Fanghua blushed and said, "Mom, I'm only 16 years old, are you thinking that far ahead?"
Qin Fengli said, "16 is not young anymore. Besides, I'm not asking you to find a partner right now. I'm asking you to build a good relationship with your cousin so that she can find a partner for you. The conditions will definitely not be bad."
Zhao Guojin was moved and suggested, "Pineapple, isn't your sister's sour food shop short of staff? Fanghua's academic performance is not good anyway, and she probably won't be able to get into college. Why not let her drop out of school and come to help your sister with the work?"
Qin Fengli was somewhat tempted when she heard this, but still shook her head and said, "No, no matter if I can get into college or not, at least I have to finish high school. Education is sometimes very important. When you're looking for a partner in the future, a junior high school degree and a high school degree have different weight."
Zhao Guojin thought about it and it made sense, so he nodded and said, "Well, Fanghua, you should finish high school first. After you graduate, I will arrange for you to come to Nanning to help your aunt."
Zhao Fanghua blinked and replied, "Okay, Dad."
Zhao Ziyang continued: "Dad, Mom, what about us?"
Qin Fengli shook her head and said, "Don't even think about it, you two brothers. Even if a girl's family conditions are a little poor, as long as she has good conditions, it is not difficult for her to find a partner with a good family condition. But it's different for men. Unless you are very outstanding, it is impossible for a girl from a good family to marry you."
Zhao Ziyang: “…”
Not only Qin Fengli's family, but other relatives and friends have also made up their minds to get closer to Fan Yuemei in the future.
…
Eleven o'clock in the morning.
The La Meizi Hotpot on the second floor has a special area set aside for the wedding of Deng Yunhua and Fan Yuemei.
At this time, most of the guests had arrived.
There were no wedding planning companies in this era, and the wedding process was not so elaborate. Basically, the parents of both parties would come on stage and say a few words, the bride and groom would say a few more words, and then the banquet would be started.
It is worth mentioning that Deng Yunheng's family and Deng Yunsong's family both rushed back to attend Deng Yunhua's wedding.
Now, Deng Yunheng is chatting with his senior schoolmate Song Yu.
Deng Yunheng said: "Sister Song, look, even my fourth brother is married, you really have to hurry up!"
Song Yu sighed and said, "It's really hard to find a suitable partner. My standards for choosing a partner have been lowered very low, but I still can't find a suitable candidate."
Deng Yunheng asked, "Sister Song, tell me the truth, what kind of person are you looking for? I'll see if I can help you find one."
Song Yu said: "Actually, my requirements are really not high now. As long as the education is above college level, good-looking, and of good character, that's enough. I don't have any other requirements such as family background or work."
“This is really not a high requirement.”
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Deng Yunheng nodded and said, "Then when I return to Fuzhou, I will carefully look for someone for you and see if I can find someone who meets your requirements."
Song Yu smiled and said, "Okay, then I'm counting on you!"
Deng Yunheng said with a smile: "Sister Song, don't count on me. I can only help you look for someone. I can't guarantee whether I can find the right person. You still have to pay attention to it yourself."
Song Yu said: "I will pay attention to it."
Deng Yunheng changed the subject and said, "Sister Song, how is your work now? When can you get a promotion?"
Song Yu said: "The work is going well. As for when I can get promoted, I don't know. But a leader should retire next year. I'll see if there is a chance then!"
Deng Yunheng said: "If you need my help, just tell me and I will definitely support you with all my strength."
"If I really need you, I'll have to trouble you."
At this point, Song Yu also asked: "How about you, has your work been going well recently?"
Deng Yunheng nodded and said, "My work is going well. My current position is relatively easy, so I will get all the benefits, and I don't have to bear any responsibilities."
Song Yu envied, "That's great. I'm the top leader now. I have power, but I also have heavy responsibilities. I live on thin ice every day. How can I be as comfortable as you?"
Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "You have a heavy responsibility, but you have also trained yourself well and laid a good foundation for the next promotion. This is called gaining something and losing something."
While the two were chatting, the wedding banquet officially began.
Since the wedding banquet was held in a hot pot restaurant, the food and drinks were also very special. In addition to various indispensable stir-fried dishes, each table was served with a double-flavored hot pot. This type of dish is truly unique among many wedding banquets.
If some people are picky about the taste of stir-fried dishes, then hotpot really caters to the tastes of all customers.
Less than ten minutes into the banquet, the bride and groom began to toast.
After the bride and groom finished their toast, the wedding banquet was coming to an end.
Next, we will start seeing off the guests.
When all the guests have left, only family members are left.
Back at the mansion on the fifth floor, the family chatted while drinking tea.
Ever since Deng Yunheng and Deng Yunsong started working, the family has had fewer and fewer opportunities to reunite. Even during the holidays, they may not have a chance to reunite. The only time the family can reunite is on major events such as the marriage of their brothers and sisters.
Deng Shirong said happily: "It's rare for you seven brothers and sisters to get together, so each of you should report your own situation. Yuntai, you go first."
Deng Yuntai responded and said with high spirits: "Since Yunheng introduced me to several capable assistants, the development of my chain supermarket has been on the right track, and as the management system becomes more and more perfect, the development speed is also getting faster and faster. Now, on average, a new supermarket opens every few days.
So far, we have 136 Yongjia supermarkets, and the number is still growing rapidly. This year's net profit is conservatively estimated to be around 120 million yuan."
When these words came out, several brothers and sisters gasped.
Fan Yuemei, the new daughter-in-law, was even more stunned.
She knew that her elder brother and his wife ran Yongjia Supermarket, and that the business seemed to be very big, but Deng Yunhua had not told her much before. She really had never imagined that her elder brother and his wife's business would be so large.
A net profit of 120 million yuan a year, what does this mean?
You know, even for Nanning Snack Street, after the rent discount period ends, the annual income will be at most a few million. Compared with my brother and sister-in-law's chain supermarket, it is at least ten times less. This is simply scary.
Deng Shirong nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good, but you should not be complacent. The reason why we can develop so smoothly now is that those foreign supermarket giants have not yet entered the country. When those foreign giants enter the country, others will be able to enjoy the best policy support. Whether it is taxes or rents, they will be so low that you can't even imagine.
By that time, your supermarket chain will lose its cost advantage and competitive pressure will follow.
While your competitors haven't arrived yet, you should seize the time to develop, grab the market first, and then find ways to retain new and old customers. You should discuss the details with the supermarket management and come up with a feasible plan. "
Deng Yuntai nodded and said, "I understand. We have already worked out a plan. I'll show it to you later."
Deng Shirong hummed, then looked at his eldest daughter and said, "Ah Zhen, tell me about your situation as well."
Deng Yunzhen smiled and said, "I don't have much to say. The Suifeng Hotel plus the Yongjia Supermarket given to me by my eldest brother and sister-in-law bring me a combined annual income of about two million, which is enough for me.
Junjie's work is going well, and if nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to become the county magistrate of Bobai County next month."
Hearing these words, Fan Yuemei, the new daughter-in-law, was secretly shocked. She didn't expect her elder sister to be so powerful, and her brother-in-law's position shocked her even more.
Although she was engaged to Deng Yunhua before, she had not actually married into the family yet. She was too embarrassed to ask about the details of her future husband's family, so she only knew that his family was super rich, but she had no idea how rich they were.
Naturally, I didn’t know that my eldest brother-in-law held such a high position.
Upon hearing this, the brothers and sisters all congratulated Zhu Junjie. Becoming a county magistrate was considered a "high position with great power."
Zhu Junjie's attitude was very humble. In front of his two brothers-in-law, Deng Yunheng and Deng Yunsong, he really had no reason to be proud. Needless to say, Deng Yunheng had been promoted to deputy director four years ago.
Even his brother-in-law Deng Yunsong and his wife have reached the same level as him, and at their rate of promotion, it is only a matter of time before they surpass him.
In this situation, how could Zhu Junjie have the qualifications to be proud?
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Yunheng, it's your turn!"
Deng Yunheng said: "My leader has also talked to me. Maybe there will be a chance to make some moves next year."
When these words came out, the whole family became excited.
You know, Deng Yunheng is now a full-time deputy secretary, and the move he mentioned can only mean promotion.
Fan Yuemei was a little confused when she saw this, not knowing what everyone was so excited about.
Deng Yunhua explained to his wife excitedly, "Yuemei, my second brother was already a deputy director four years ago. If he is promoted again, he will be a director. You should know what this means, right?"
Fan Yuemei was shocked when she heard this. How could it be possible that her second brother had been a deputy director four years ago? Not to mention Fan Yuemei, who was unaware of the situation, even Pei Qinghua, who had the most powerful background, was surprised. If her second brother could be promoted successfully this time, he would definitely be the youngest director in the country.
Seeing his family so excited, Deng Yunheng quickly added: "It's just a chance, it's not decided yet!"
Deng Shirong said with a smile on his face: "Very good, since your leader has talked to you, then this matter will most likely be successful. We are waiting for your good news!"
Deng Yunheng nodded and said, "I will try my best."
Deng Shirong hummed, looked at his little daughter and said, "Azhu, it's your turn."
Deng Yunzhu smiled and said, "Since Brother Dong resigned and came to help me, the development of my hot pot chain has also accelerated a lot. Currently, there are 38 hot pot restaurants. The annual income is naturally not comparable to that of my brother and sister-in-law's supermarket, but there are still profits of 10 or 20 million."
Hearing this, the bride Fan Yuemei was shocked again. Her husband's family was ten times more powerful than she had imagined.
Other brothers and sisters also congratulated Deng Yunzhu.
Deng Shirong smiled and looked at his third son and said, "Xiaosong, you also say something."
Deng Yunsong smiled and said, "Dad, this is all I have achieved. Everyone knows it, so there is no need to say more!"
Deng Yunhua explained to his wife at the right time: "My third brother is the second in command of a county-level city, and my third sister-in-law is the director of the Municipal Finance Bureau. They are both deputy director-level cadres."
Fan Yuemei was completely stunned when she heard this! How many officials have come out of her husband's family? Moreover, the lowest one is a director-level cadre, which is simply incredible.
