Chapter 471: Grow up to be a rich third generation who only eats and waits for death
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Po skating rink.
The number of people skating had already reached four or five hundred, and the number of people who did not go out was even greater, at least one or two thousand people watching nearby.
The whole scene was extremely lively and the sound was extremely powerful. The people in the venue were certainly having a blast and the onlookers were also watching with great interest.
After all, only a small number of people are good at it, and most of them are still novices. From time to time, someone falls down while they are playing, which is quite interesting to watch.
There were even many elderly aunts and uncles who heard the exciting music from afar and rushed over to watch the fun when they had nothing to do.
Deng Shirong lost interest after watching for a while. Ice skating was indeed a very trendy thing in the 1990s and was sought after by most young people, but it was no longer a big deal in later generations. Even kindergarten children were very good at it.
Before leaving, Deng Shirong said to Deng Sibao: "Abao, your skating rink is still missing something."
Deng Sibao asked: "Nine Ancestors, what else is missing?"
Deng Shirong said, "Hurry up and contact someone to get a few freezers back to sell ice cream, popsicles, beverages, mineral water, etc. If your mother has time to do it, you can also ask her to make some herbal tea, mung bean soup, Qingbuliang, etc. Business will definitely be good."
Deng Sibao said excitedly, "Thank you for your guidance, Nine Ancestor. I will arrange it right away."
Deng Shirong reached out and patted his shoulder, smiling and said, "You're welcome. Work hard. This is indeed a good business that makes money."
…
Naqing Village is located at the border of Bangjie Village and is also one of the administrative villages covered by the film and television city. The mountains and fields of most people in the village have been expropriated, and every household has a considerable income, making it one of the richest villages in Shuangwang Town.
At this time, Liu Laosan's family was holding an investment meeting.
Liu Laosan was none other than Bu Dashi's father-in-law. He looked at his three sons and asked, "Eldest, Second, and Third, all our mountains and fields have been expropriated this time. The total amount of expropriation is more than 160,000 yuan. What do you think we should do with the money?"
Nowadays, there are still many places that adhere to the traditional rule of "don't divide the family while parents are still alive", but in Bobai area, this rule has been abolished for a long time. Basically, the family is divided up after the sons get married.
Even in a family with three or four sons, only two of them may get married, so the other two will be separated to live on their own.
However, there are some families that are relatively united and have never split up.
Liu Laosan's family is undoubtedly one of them. His three sons have been married for many years, but the whole family still lives together and has not separated yet. This is quite rare in the village.
Since there was no division of the family, the money collected from the mountains and fields naturally all fell into the hands of Liu Laosan.
Brother Liu was more conservative and said, "Dad, I think we can invest this money in building houses. Didn't the people from the Ye Deng family say that after the film and television city is built, there will be at least an increase of hundreds of thousands of non-local population. When those people come here to work, they will definitely need to rent houses, so building houses and renting them out is indeed a good business."
This is indeed a relatively stable way to make money. Liu Laosan nodded and looked at his second son and said, "Second son, what do you think?"
Brother Liu was more thoughtful. He said, "Dad, a few days ago, a skating rink opened at Nayeyuan Mountain. Business is booming. There are hundreds of people playing all day long. They charge one dollar per play, and they can easily make thousands of dollars a day.
I think if you want to make more money, you still have to invest in business.”
Mother Liu asked, "Second brother, everyone knows that doing business is more profitable, the key is what kind of business to do, do you have any ideas?"
Brother Liu said, "I think I can open a hot pot restaurant like my brother-in-law did. Business should be good."
Liu Laosan nodded, looked at his third son and said, "Laosan, what do you think?"
Brother Liu San said, "I don't think the ideas of the eldest brother and the second brother conflict. We need to build a house and do business. This way, we can be stable and have the opportunity to make a lot of money."
Brother Liu praised: "Old Third, this is a good idea. When we build the building, we can use the shop on the first floor for business and rent out the houses upstairs. It really kills two birds with one stone."
Brother Liu also nodded and said, "I also think that Third Brother's idea is good."
"Okay, that's settled then."
Liu Laosan made the decision immediately, and then said, "But with these hundreds of thousands of yuan, if the house is built for your own use, then it can definitely be made very beautiful. But if the house is built for rent, naturally the more the better, and then this money may not be enough."
Mother Liu pondered and said, "How about borrowing it from Aihong?"
Liu Laosan nodded and said, "Okay, Aihong is not short of money now, so you can call her and ask her to borrow some money!"
Liu's mother asked, "How much should I borrow?"
Liu Laosan said, "It's up to you. If you borrow more, you can build more houses. If you borrow less, you can build less houses."
Mother Liu said thoughtfully, "Okay, I'll call and talk to her tomorrow."
…
Not only Liu Laosan's family, but villagers in all villages started thinking about what to do after receiving the collection money.
The villagers who have no talent for business have only one goal, which is to build houses and rent them out. This money-making plan can be said to be an obvious one. As locals, they all know it, and it is also an exclusive benefit for locals.
It’s like the urban villages in big cities, where the villagers can basically enjoy this benefit.
Apart from this benefit, if you want to make money by doing business, it depends on your own abilities.
Therefore, although there is still a long time before the film and television city is completed, the villagers in each village have already shown their unique skills.
There are talented people in this rural area. Many of them were previously restricted by the location and their poor family background. Now with the collection of funds, these talents have the opportunity to break free from their shackles.
Therefore, all walks of life have been preparing and brewing.
…
In later generations, our country was praised as an infrastructure maniac, and this reputation was not undeserved.
In order to catch up with next year's "Opium War", Deng Shirong not only launched the Guangzhou Street infrastructure project, but also started construction of a star-rated hotel. At the same time, the supporting industries are also being planned and constructed in full swing.
In short, the current film and television city is changing every day to ensure that it can smoothly welcome the arrival of the "Opium War" crew next year.
Naturally, Deng Shirong didn't have to catch these things himself. Instead, after giving clear instructions, he handed them over to his subordinates to carry out the task.
Since he had nothing to do, he started going out and looking for opportunities to sell some of the supplies he had. Some of the supplies were useless if he kept them, so it would be perfect to sell them now while the prices had increased a lot and there was no surveillance yet.
Once Skynet becomes popular, it will not be easy to sell these supplies quietly.
…
Nanning.
Wuyue Square luxury residence.
Deng Shirong was sitting on the sofa, looking at Dongzi's report card.
After reading the scores above, Deng Shirong couldn't help but sigh and said, "Dongzi, how about I hire a tutor for you this summer?"
Dongzi's eyes widened in horror: "Grandpa, how about...just forget it?"
Deng Shirong looked at his eldest grandson's frightened expression and felt both angry and amused. He thought that everyone has different experiences in life. Since Dongzi's path of studying was not feasible, let him go. After all, it would be good for him to grow up to be a rich third-generation who just eats and waits for death.
As for the family business, it can be left to Xiaodong'er to manage. Then the dividends Dongzi will get every year will allow him to live a carefree life.
There is another way, which is to let his parents train grandchildren to inherit the family business. As long as Dongzi gets married early, it should still be in time.
Of course, it’s too early to talk about this now. Let’s wait until Dongzi grows up!
Thinking of this, Deng Shirong stopped blaming him and sighed, "Since you don't want to learn, forget it!"
Dongzi felt a little uneasy when he heard this, and asked cautiously: "Grandpa, are you angry?"
Deng Shirong reached out and touched his head, shaking his head and said, "Everyone has their own aspirations. Grandpa is not angry, but if you don't study hard and don't have the ability to inherit the family business in the future, don't blame your parents, understand?"
Dongzi breathed a sigh of relief and said nonchalantly: "Grandpa, when you say inheriting the family business, do you mean doing business like mom and dad? I'm not interested in this. My sister is so good at studying, so I can just let her inherit the family business when the time comes!"
Deng Shirong laughed and said, "Wait until you grow up before you say that!"
At this point, Deng Shirong began to look at his granddaughter's report card. The score formed a sharp contrast with Dongzi's. Little Dong'er was not only the best in elementary school, but even after entering the best junior high school in the city, she was still a top student that no one could shake.
After reading Xiao Dong'er's report card, Deng Shirong was in a good mood and asked with a smile: "Xiao Dong'er, where do you want to go this summer vacation?"
Xiao Dong'er thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa, in two years, Hong Kong will return to the motherland. I want to go to Hong Kong to play in advance. Is it okay?"
Deng Shirong said without hesitation: "Of course, grandpa will take you to apply for the documents tomorrow, and we will set off after the documents come out."
Dongzi's eyes lit up, and he immediately jumped out and said, "Grandpa, I want to go too."
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Okay, let's go together."
…
The next day, Deng Shirong took his grandchildren and six carefully selected security personnel to apply for passports.
Hong Kong in this era was notoriously chaotic. Now, "Young and Dangerous", which has influenced an entire generation of people in mainland China, is already being filmed. A lot of content in this "Young and Dangerous" series of films alludes to the real situation in Hong Kong.
Although Deng Shirong, who owns the system space, is 100% sure that he can protect his grandchildren, he still needs to bring security personnel with him. With these six security personnel protecting him, it is enough to deal with most of the troubles.
If there are still people who are so short-sighted as to dare to take advantage of them, no matter who they are or how powerful their background is, Deng Shirong will make sure they are killed without a burial place.
…
Half a month later.
Deng Shirong and his party arrived in Hong Kong.
It has to be said that Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s was worthy of being the leader of the Four Asian Tigers and was truly prosperous.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The 1980s, 1990s and 2000s were also the real peak of Hong Kong's economy, especially Hong Kong films, TV dramas and music, which all reached their peak in this era. Countless works that amazed the era emerged, making countless people still miss them even after 20 or 30 years.
Deng Shirong and others stayed at the Peninsula Hotel, which has a long history and is one of the most luxurious and famous hotels in Hong Kong and even the world.
It was already evening when Deng Shirong and others checked into the hotel. Xiao Dong'er looked down at the night view of Victoria Harbour opposite the hotel and couldn't help but sigh, "Grandpa, Hong Kong is so prosperous. I feel that Beijing and Shanghai are far inferior to Hong Kong."
Dongzi has been traveling around with his grandfather and sister over the years. He has been to most of the major cities in China and has more experience than most of his peers. He nodded and agreed, "Grandpa, I think my sister is right. Hong Kong is indeed more prosperous than Beijing and Shanghai."
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "You are right. Hong Kong is indeed much more prosperous than Beijing and Shanghai. The area of Hong Kong is actually not very large. If we only count the land area, the five Hong Kongs combined are not as big as Shanghai, let alone Beijing.
In terms of population, Hong Kong cannot compare with Beijing and Shanghai.
However, in terms of economy, even Beijing and Shanghai combined are less than half of Hong Kong, so you can imagine how prosperous Hong Kong is.”
Xiao Dong'er was amazed and said, "Oh my God, Hong Kong is so powerful?"
Deng Shirong said: "Of course it is great, but it is only great now. Hong Kong is a little small after all. Sooner or later, its economic level will be surpassed by Beijing and Shanghai. Even other major cities in our mainland will surpass Hong Kong one by one."
Xiao Dong'er blinked and asked, "Grandpa, economic development should not have much to do with the size of the area, right?"
"There is some relationship. Cities with large areas and large populations naturally have more development potential than cities with small areas and small populations."
Deng Shirong smiled and said: "However, it does not mean that the larger the area, the more developed the economy. This is the same as running a business. If it is managed properly, people who invest more capital will naturally earn more than those who invest less capital.
If it is not managed well, that is not necessarily the case.”
Xiao Dong'er suddenly realized and drew inferences from one example: "So Grandpa, you are not optimistic about the future development of Hong Kong, but are more optimistic about the development of major cities in the mainland, right?"
"good."
Deng Shirong nodded and said, "However, if the big cities in the mainland want to surpass Hong Kong's economy, it will not be achieved in a short period of time. It will take at least ten or twenty years of development before there is hope of catching up."
Dongzi was not interested in this topic and changed the subject: "Grandpa, it's still early, why don't we go downstairs for a walk?"
Deng Shirong looked at his granddaughter and asked, "Sister, do you want to go downstairs for a walk?"
Xiao Dong'er nodded and said, "Okay, let's go down and take a walk!"
Deng Shirong naturally had no objection, so he took his grandchildren to the night market.
The security personnel will keep a certain distance and follow to protect without any instructions.
The grandfather, grandson and their two children strolled around the area for an hour and a half before returning to the hotel to take a shower and rest.
In the next few days, Deng Shirong took his grandchildren to travel around and enjoy Hong Kong's special food.
Although Xiaodong'er and Dongzi don't have much concept of money, the high consumption in Hong Kong still surprised them. Compared with cities in the mainland, the consumption in Hong Kong is really outrageous.
In addition to the high consumption, the observant Xiao Dong'er also felt that there was something wrong with the way the locals looked at them.
So, Xiao Donger found an opportunity to say to his grandfather, "Grandpa, why do those Hong Kong people look a little strange when they hear us speaking Mandarin, as if they look down on us?"
Deng Shirong didn't expect his granddaughter to be so observant. He nodded and said, "You are not mistaken. These Hong Kong people really look down on us mainlanders from the bottom of their hearts."
In later generations, there was a joke that went like this: Shanghai people look at everyone as country people, Guangdong people look at everyone as northerners, and Beijing people look at everyone as locals.
Although this is a joke, it is not groundless.
In later generations, Shanghai's economy ranked first in the country for many years. Naturally, when people became rich, they looked at others differently. This is the same reason why many people look down on their poor relatives when they become rich.
At that time, Hong Kong's economy was at its peak, and it was normal for it to look down on "poor" mainlanders.
Even in later times, when Hong Kong had already declined and was surpassed by major cities in the Mainland, there were still many Hong Kong people who looked at Mainlanders with tinted glasses, just as the old aristocrats, even if they had declined, still looked down on the nouveau riche.
Dongzi was a little indignant when he heard this: "Grandpa, why do they look down on us?"
Deng Shirong said: "Why? Because they are rich. In the eyes of Hong Kong people, we in the mainland are all poor. Especially in the past decade of reform and opening up in our country, we have treated Hong Kong capital as well as possible. This has cultivated their mentality of being superior to others."
Dongzi seemed to understand and said, "Grandpa, are they just like those foreigners on TV?"
"That's about right. In the past, in the eyes of foreigners, we were not only economically backward and extremely poor, but also weak in military strength. Naturally, we were inferior to them. Not to mention in the past, even now, in the eyes of Europeans and Americans, Chinese people are still seen in that image, with no status."
Deng Shirong took the opportunity to educate his grandchildren: "So, if we want those who look down on us to look at us with new eyes, we must become stronger. Only when we become stronger and richer than them can we slowly change this phenomenon."
Xiao Dong'er nodded secretly after hearing this: "Grandpa, I understand. I will study hard and make a name for myself in the future. Then I will ask those who look down on us to come and work for me. Then I will see why they look down on me as their boss."
Deng Shirong laughed and said, "Our Xiaodong'er is still ambitious. You work hard, and grandpa supports you."
…
The three generations of grandfather, grandson and grandson played in Hong Kong for a whole week before returning home.
Although the public security in Hong Kong at that time was indeed worrying, one would not get into trouble just by going there for fun. The grandfather and grandson played together for a week, and no one bothered them. They returned to Nanning safely and smoothly.
Because the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren always went to high-end places, they unexpectedly met several celebrities. However, none of them were star-chasers, so apart from some accidents, nothing happened.
Just as Deng Shirong and his two grandchildren left Hong Kong, Hong Kong TVB Jade Channel broadcast "The Return of the Condor Heroes", a classic TV series starring Louis Koo and Li Ruotong.
There is no doubt that this version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" is hailed as one of the most classic versions and is loved by countless audiences.
Deng Shirong liked to advertise on these classic TV series, so after returning to Nanning, he gave orders to wait for mainland TV stations to introduce the series and then take over the title sponsorship. Anyway, the Deng Group has many products, so it won't be a loss to advertise on any of them.
After returning from Hong Kong, Deng Shirong received a call from his youngest son.
After the father and son greeted each other, Deng Yunheng said, "Dad, I won't go back this summer. I will continue to intern in the hospital."
Deng Shirong asked: "You have already graduated from undergraduate studies. Are you going to continue to study for a master's degree?"
Deng Yunheng said, "Well, you know my goal. I must get a doctorate. In our industry, unless you have a profound family background, it is very difficult to become a real expert without a doctorate."
Deng Shirong said: "I agree that you continue to study for a master's degree. Since you are interested in this industry, you should study hard. A doctorate is just a starting point. If you want to be a technological leader in this industry, you have to study for a lifetime. You must be mentally prepared for this."
Deng Yunheng said, "Dad, I understand. Maybe I am born to be in this industry. I learn medical knowledge with great interest, which some classmates think is extremely boring. I think even if I study for a lifetime, I will not find it boring or hard."
Deng Shirong said, "That's good. Being a doctor and saving lives is a good deed. I will fully support you."
Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "Thank you, Dad. I will work hard and won't let you down."
Next, the father and son chatted about family matters for a while before hanging up the phone.
…
Deng Shirong stayed in Nanning for a few days, and then drove back to his hometown with his children and grandchildren to celebrate the festival.
The 14th day of the seventh lunar month is coming soon. This traditional festival is very important to the people in Shuangwang Realm. Even those who work away from home will rush back to celebrate the festival if they have holidays.
Deng Shirong's two daughters also returned to her parents' home with their husbands and children to celebrate July 14th.
Naye Village is also where they grew up. When they heard that their father was going to build a film and television city in his hometown, they wanted to come back to see the changes in their hometown during this period, so they took advantage of this holiday to bring their husbands and children back.
