Chapter 543 Finale

Because of the second son's unreserved trust, he made many preparations for the disaster, so although the disaster in this life still occurred as expected, the result was very different from the previous life. Both the casualties and property losses were greatly reduced compared to the previous life.

The entire month of May was spent on disaster relief. Group companies such as Deng's Group, Yongjia Group, La Meizi Hotpot, and Baibian Milk Tea delivered a lot of relief supplies to the disaster area and donated a lot of money to the reconstruction of the disaster area, making a huge contribution to the disaster relief work.

After the affairs in the disaster area came to an end, Deng Shirong received a call that his old friend Zhang Guangzong was seriously ill and hospitalized and did not have much time left.

After receiving the call, Deng Shirong rushed to Bobai County as soon as possible.

Zhang Guangzong is a friend that Deng Shirong interacts with most after his rebirth. The two have known each other for 26 years since the opening of the Suifeng Hotel in 1982. Especially in the past few years, they often sat together drinking and chatting, and their relationship was still very good.

At that time, Zhang Guangzong was invited to the restaurant and provided with good food and drinks. The purpose was to use the reputation of the third master of Xincun to prevent the hooligans in the county town from coming to the restaurant to cause trouble.

The result is, of course, needless to say. Since its opening, the Sui Feng Hotel has been in operation for 26 years, but no one has ever caused trouble in the hotel. This can be said to be unique among many large hotels.

Of course, Zhang Guangzong only played a very important role in the early stage of the hotel operation. After Deng Shirong used Suifeng Hotel as a dowry for his eldest daughter, it was not only the credit of Zhang Guangzong, but also the credit of him as the eldest son-in-law.

After all, as the eldest son-in-law, who in Bobai County would be so blind as to run to his restaurant and cause trouble?

After arriving in the county town, Deng Shirong went to the inpatient department of the People's Hospital to visit Zhang Guangzong.

The moment he saw Zhang Guangzong, Deng Shirong almost didn't recognize him. He looked extremely bad. No wonder the person who called said that he didn't have much time left.

Deng Shirong asked, "Uncle Zhang, how do you feel?"

Zhang Guangzong pulled an ugly smile at the corner of his mouth, and said with a pale face: "Boss, they say that illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes away like pulling a thread. Time is really unforgiving. When I was not sick, my body could still hold on, but when I got sick, other problems followed."

Deng Shirong could only comfort him: "Uncle Zhang, you should take good care of your health and you will get better."

Zhang Guangzong shook his head slightly and said, "Boss, you don't need to comfort me. I know very well what my own body is like. I probably won't be able to open my eyes again after I close them one day. Anyway, I have been eating and drinking every day for more than 20 years and have enjoyed a lot. There is nothing to regret even if I die now."

Deng Shirong is now over 70 years old. Whether in his past life or this life, he has seen too many separations and deaths. Hearing what Zhang Guangzong said, he no longer said anything to comfort him, but asked: "Uncle Zhang, we are friends. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Zhang Guangzong looked at a young man standing next to him and said in a weak voice, "Boss, if it's not too much trouble, please arrange a decent job for my grandson. This kid is actually quite smart, but he didn't study hard when he was studying. After graduating from school, he didn't want to go to Guangdong to work. Now he's slacking off all day and doesn't even have a proper job. If he continues like this, I'm afraid he won't even be able to find a wife."

Deng Shirong agreed without hesitation: "No problem, Uncle Zhang, don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Zhang Guangzong smiled when he heard this, and then said to the young man, "Along, why don't you thank Boss Deng quickly?"

Zhang Long naturally knew who this Boss Deng was, and he quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Boss Deng."

Deng Shirong waved his hand and said, "You're welcome."

Next, Deng Shirong chatted with Zhang Guangzong for a few more words. Seeing that he looked a little tired, he stood up and said goodbye, "Uncle Zhang, you should have a good rest. I will leave first and come to see you tomorrow."

Zhang Guangzong shook his head slightly and said, "Boss, I am satisfied to see you one more time before I leave. It is very unlucky here, so please don't come again."

Deng Shirong was silent for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang, don't walk so fast after you go downstairs. Wait for me to go downstairs, and then we can continue drinking."

Zhang Guangzong smiled again and said, "Okay, I will walk slowly and wait for you to come down and drink with me in a hundred years."

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Then, Deng Shirong did not stay and walked out of the ward.

At the moment of leaving, both of them knew in their hearts that this would probably be the last time they would meet in this life.

…

Three days later.

Zhang Guangzong passed away at the age of eighty.

Given Zhang Guangzong's reputation in Xincun, his funeral arrangements were quite grand.

However, Deng Shirong did not attend the funeral, but he completed the task that Zhang Guangzong had asked him to do the next day after he left the hospital.

Zhang Guangzong was very satisfied when he learned that his little grandson got a job in a bank. He left with a smile on his face.

…

morning.

At the entrance of the Deng Clan Ancestral Hall in Naye, Deng Shirong was convening a clan meeting to award financial aid to outstanding students in the clan. Except for those clan members who were working outside, all the clan members who stayed at home were present.

At this time, Deng Shirong was sitting on the stage and delivering an important speech: "Dear clansmen, in this year's college entrance examination, our Naye Deng family students performed very well. Three were admitted to 985 universities, five were admitted to 211 universities, 11 were admitted to ordinary universities, and 34 were admitted to other universities. It can be said that it is a great harvest.

But you must remember that getting into college is not the time to relax.

University is different from elementary school and middle school. In elementary school and middle school, teachers will always keep an eye on your studies and will not give you a chance to relax.

But after entering university, if you want to study, it all depends on your own initiative.

After all, those who go to college are adults, and teachers cannot rush you to study like they did in elementary and middle school. You must understand one thing: learning is for yourself, not for others.

We work hard to get into college in order to learn useful knowledge, not for the diploma.

So I hope that after you go to university, you can maintain the same enthusiasm for learning as in elementary and middle school, and never indulge yourself. If you spend four years in university playing games or eating, drinking and having fun, then all your studies will be in vain.

You have to understand one thing..."

Deng Shirong spoke for more than ten minutes, mainly focusing on the fact that college students of today are completely different from those in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.

In the past, most college students would study hard when they went to school, but nowadays, when they go to school, they are like unbridled horses. They use the living expenses given by their parents to eat, drink, play, or skip classes to surf the Internet every day. What's worse, some of them directly rent a house next to the school and ask their parents to give them money to buy a computer. Then they only go to school a few times a semester and stay in the rental house most of the time, playing games day and night.

Anyway, they are so far away that parents won’t know what happens, and the teachers at these fake universities won’t interfere.

If you play like this day and night for three or four years, even the best person would probably become a waste.

Deng Shirong didn't want the students in his clan to become like those people and lose their ambition due to material pleasure.

All the tribesmen nodded continuously as they listened, especially those whose children went to college. They became cautious and decided to strengthen management in this area, lest they would be left without knowing anything about their children playing outside for four years.

After Deng Shirong finished his speech, he began to award scholarships. Each student admitted to a 985 university received a bonus of 100,000 yuan, each student admitted to a 211 university received a bonus of 60,000 yuan, students admitted to a first-class university received 30,000 yuan, and the others received 10,000 yuan.

Next are the rewards for being admitted to a key high school, and the rewards for ranking at the top of the grade and the class in the final exam.

In short, the Naye Deng family is serious about providing financial aid to students. As long as the students have good grades, they can get a lot of rewards from the family every year.

Soon, the six brothers Deng Changmao, Deng Changding, Deng Changhai, Deng Changce, Deng Changquan and Deng Changmou also went on stage one by one to receive their awards.

Up to now, Deng Shirong has seven grandsons, one granddaughter, and two grandsons-in-law. The youngest grandson, Deng Changmou, is eight years old this year. After so many years, his daughters-in-law probably won’t have any more children.

Among the seven grandchildren, only the eldest grandson Dongzi has poor academic performance, while the other six grandchildren have good grades.

After the scholarship awards were presented, the elders of the clan also came on stage and gave a few speeches. Then Deng Shirong said a few words at the end, and the scholarship meeting was over.

Back at the villa, Deng Shirong looked at his grandchildren and said with a smile, "You brothers have done a great job this semester. August 8th is the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. If you want to watch it, just sign up. It's a reward for your hard work."

"Grandpa, I signed up. I want to go and see it."

"Grandpa, I want to go too."

"Grandpa, and me."

“…”

As soon as Deng Shirong finished speaking, Deng Changmao and several other brothers immediately expressed their desire to go to Beijing to watch the Olympics.

In fact, the three older ones, Deng Changmao, Zhou Wenbin and Deng Changding, were the ones who were really interested in the opening ceremony of the Olympics. The younger ones were not very interested.

However, they like to go wherever there is excitement. Seeing their brothers so excited, they certainly don't want to fall behind and want to follow them.

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Okay, let's all go. This is the first time our country has hosted the Olympic Games. I believe this opening ceremony will be the most exciting and unsurpassed. It is a very rare experience to be able to watch it in person."

This is not just talk. The opening ceremony of the previous Olympic Games in my country was hailed as the most classic opening ceremony in history, a unique one. Other opening ceremonies were only worthy of competing for second place and had no right to compete with my country for first place.

In his previous life, Deng Shirong, like most of the audience, watched the opening ceremony of the Olympics in front of the TV. But this life is different. He plans to take his family to the Bird's Nest in Beijing to watch the opening ceremony.

Deng Changmao continued, "Grandpa, my mom might be interested in this, too. Can we take her along?"

"Actually, apart from your father, your third uncle, third aunt, and your eldest uncle, I have already bought tickets for everyone else. I will call them one by one later, and then we will go to Beijing together to watch the opening ceremony of the Olympics."

At this point, Deng Shirong looked at his young grandchildren and said, "If you want to go to Beijing to play, hurry up and finish your summer homework. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Grandpa."

The younger ones, Deng Changhai, Deng Changce, Deng Changquan and Deng Changmou, all agreed readily.

For children, few like to do homework, but if there is an incentive, it is a different story. When they think that they can go to Beijing to play after finishing their summer homework, their enthusiasm is aroused.

…

August 8, 2008.

In Beijing, after dinner, Deng Shirong and his party went to the Bird's Nest to watch the long-awaited opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

After entering the Bird's Nest, it was really brightly lit and colorful. The stadium, which can accommodate more than 90,000 people, was packed and the crowd was excited. This Olympics was really something our country had waited too long for.

At 19:50, to the sound of cheerful music, leaders and relevant organizational personnel of the IOC walked onto the podium and waved to the audience.

The audience burst into continuous thunderous applause, and a dazzling light poured down, activating the ancient sundial. The sundial is the source of all things in the world, and the light of time emitted by the sundial illuminated the Bird's Nest and the rectangular can array composed of 2008 cans.

In the center of the stadium, with each powerful strike, 2008 ancient Chinese percussion instruments, gu, made a thrilling sound, and the white lights on the gu flashed one by one, forming a countdown.

2008 musicians recited Confucius' famous line "Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar?" in a loud and majestic voice. Accompanied by the rhythm that resounded through the sky, friends from all over the world counted down in unison: 5, 4, 3...1. Amid the loud and clear cheers, the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games kicked off.

The magical flames of the Olympic welcoming fireworks travel through time and space, and burst out tremendous energy on the ancient Eastern land. The ancient and modern, the West and the East are closely linked together, and the light waves of time push away layer upon layer of waves.

Time flies, and in the flow of time, a great moment that attracts worldwide attention is approaching.

Next, both the audience at the scene and the audience in front of the TV were stunned by one heart-stirring scene after another. The director incorporated 5,000 years of Chinese culture into it. Such a grand and magnificent opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was the first time for both domestic and foreign audiences to see it.

In just four hours, China shocked the world.

Even Deng Shirong, who had watched the opening ceremony on TV in his previous life, was shocked by the live performance. There is a huge difference between watching it through the screen and watching it in person. Anyone who has watched a live concert understands this.

After watching the opening ceremony, it was already late at night when we returned to the courtyard.

But including Deng Shirong, everyone was extremely excited.

For the next half month, the whole country was immersed in the Olympic carnival. With the advantage of being the host country, my country won the first place in the gold medal list for the first time and enhanced the country's prestige.

…

October 3rd.

A hotel in Shanghai.

Tomorrow is Shen Xianglan's wedding day, and all the relatives and friends of the Shen family have rushed over.

Mr. Shen has four siblings, an older sister and two younger brothers.

Facts have proved that not everyone is suitable for the saying "If one person succeeds, the whole family will prosper". Even if they are brothers from the same mother, everyone's circumstances are different, and the gap between brothers can sometimes be so big that it is unimaginable.

For example, someone may have a net worth of over 100 million yuan, but his brother is farming in his hometown and his life is no different from that of other people in the village.

There are also people who hold high positions, but their own brothers are just ordinary cattle and horses in the unit.

Sister Shen and her two younger brothers are quite content. After all, their brothers did give them opportunities, but they just didn't have the ability to seize them, so it's not their brothers' fault.

At this time, the Shen family and relatives and friends were waiting for the arrival of the bride-picking party while talking about Shen Xianglan's marriage.

The man’s family background was already known to relatives and friends. They were shocked but also felt it was natural. After all, in the eyes of relatives and friends, Shen Xianglan’s conditions were extremely good, and it was normal for her to marry into such a good family.

At around eleven-thirty, the groom's wedding party finally arrived at the hotel.

On the male side, in addition to Dongzi, the groom, there were eight people in total. The leader was none other than Xiaodong'er, the elder sister.

The two sides met, greeted each other, and then sat down to eat.

After dinner, Xiao Dong'er returned to the Shen family and drank some tea. She then looked at Mr. and Mrs. Shen and asked with a smile on her face, "Uncle and Aunt, do you have anything else to tell me? If not, shall we set off directly?"

Father Shen said: "Everything has been arranged, so let's set off directly!"

…

At four o'clock in the afternoon, a passenger plane landed at Naye Airport.

Naye Airport was only completed and put into use last year. Currently, driven by Naye Film and Television City, Naye Village not only has a highway and an airport, but even a railway is under planning. It is estimated that in a few years, everyone will be able to take the bullet train for travel.

That night, the Shen family and the wedding guests were all accommodated in a five-star hotel in Naye Film and Television City.

During the period, the woman was inevitably shocked by various things. The current Naye Film and Television City is no longer what it used to be. It has a complete range of attractions. The entire film and television city is a super large scenic spot that looks quite shocking and beautiful.

In addition, there are still many film crews shooting in the film and television city, and there are a lot of related film and television staff and extras. The entire film and television city is no longer as deserted as it was at the beginning.

Over the past decade, Naye Film and Television City has attracted hundreds of thousands of immigrants, and its prosperity has surpassed that of Bobai County and is comparable to some cities.

The next day.

A grand wedding was held in the commercial square of Naye Village.

As the eldest grandson of the third generation of the Deng family, Dongzi's wedding was taken very seriously by everyone. Even Deng Yunheng and Deng Yunsong took time out of their busy schedules to come back and attend the wedding, making Mr. and Mrs. Shen so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.

When the parents of both parties came on stage to give speeches, Shen's father gave a heartfelt speech: "Dear guests: Ladies and gentlemen, hello! Today is the wedding day of my daughter Shen Xianglan and my son-in-law Deng Changdong. My wife and family would like to express our heartfelt thanks to all of you for coming!

Daughter, you are a good girl at home and a caring little cotton-padded jacket for your parents.

However, our parents' home is only the cradle of your growth and the paradise of your childhood and youth. Your husband's home is the destination of your life and that is the stage of your life.

From now on, you should regard your husband's parents as your parents, his relatives as your relatives, be a good daughter-in-law, a good wife, and a good mother in the future.

Outside, do not speak of your husband's mistakes and give him face. In this way, he will leave his love and happiness to you. At home, respect your parents-in-law, support your husband and educate your children, and promote the noble virtues of Chinese working women. This is your repayment for my upbringing.

My dear son-in-law, you are a passionate man. You should have the heart and tolerance of a man. You should put your career first and your family first. The two women you need to take care of in your life are your mother and your wife. It is your responsibility to respect your parents, be tolerant and care for your wife. My daughter's lifelong happiness is my lifelong wish.

We believe that you two will be able to respect and understand each other, and use your hard work to water the flowers of love and create a colorful and beautiful life.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my special thanks to my parents-in-law. You have raised a good son and educated a good son-in-law for me. I am relieved to entrust my daughter to you. At the same time, I urge you to treat my daughter well and be tolerant, treat her as your own daughter, educate her, help her, and care for her in her future life, so that she can feel the warmth and comfort of this home.

Finally, I wish my daughter and son-in-law a happy marriage and a long life together! I also wish all the guests good health and a prosperous family and business. Thank you all! "

This naturally drew thunderous applause.

As the parent of the boy, Deng Yuntai also went on stage and gave a speech. His speech was written by his daughter, a top student, himself, and naturally drew applause from the audience.

Because there were so many people attending the wedding, the bride and groom had to start toasting the guests at each table right after the banquet started.

Of course, except for the most important tables where toasts were made one by one, the other tables were toasted one by one, and the speed was very fast.

Even so, it would take another hour and a half to toast all the guests.

After the toast, he sat down and ate something quickly, then started to see the guests off.

The Shen family and relatives and friends thought it was inappropriate to stay at the man’s house on the wedding night, so they left soon after the banquet.

Although Shen Xianglan was extremely happy to marry into the Deng family, she couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable when her parents, relatives and friends came to say hello to her and prepared to leave. This feeling is unavoidable for brides all over the world.

After all, after today, when she goes home, she means going back to her husband's home.

Going back to my parents' home means visiting relatives, and it is definitely a bit difficult to adjust to the situation at once.

…

Time flies.

Fifteen years passed in the blink of an eye.

In the morning, Naye Village, Ginkgo Avenue.

At this time, the weather turns cold and the leaves of the ginkgo trees have turned golden yellow. This is the most beautiful time for ginkgo trees. Every year at this time, Ginkgo Avenue will welcome groups of tourists who come here to visit.

That morning, after having breakfast, Deng Shirong came for a walk on Ginkgo Avenue.

"Play is play, joke is joke, don't joke about the attention, click the attention and don't get lost, the anchor will take you home."

"Those who have money can show their support with money, those who don't have money can show their support with their presence, those who have free time can show their support with their stay, those who like can show their support with their love, and most importantly, I will give you a laugh!"

"It takes ten years to be able to ride the same boat, everyone please follow. It takes a hundred years to sleep on the same pillow, so don't brush your feathers. Follow, don't get lost, the host will take you home, the host will take you to meet your father-in-law. If you like it 30%, click to follow, if you like it 70%, send gifts, if you are deeply in love, start to protect. Small guardians are cooler and can withstand being kicked. Don't be jealous if you have many fans, speak civilized and compete for gifts. Brush your feathers, you can live to 88; send gifts, you can live to 99! You can fall but I won't, I will accompany you until old age. Big brother has irregular meals, first of all, thank you all for your support!"

"Hello, friends, welcome to my live broadcast room. This is the most famous attraction in Naye Film and Television City, Ginkgo Avenue. At this time of year, the leaves of the ginkgo trees turn golden yellow, and this Ginkgo Avenue is the most beautiful. Ginkgo trees can be found in many places, so why is the Ginkgo Avenue in Naye Film and Television City the most famous in China? That's because the ginkgo trees here are not only numerous, but also similar in size and shape. The overall look is really beautiful. Please follow my camera and I will take you to appreciate how beautiful Ginkgo Avenue is..."

"Dear ones..."

“…”

Seeing that Ginkgo Avenue was full of anchors broadcasting live, Deng Shirong couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. When he was building this Ginkgo Avenue, he wanted to make it a celebrity check-in spot, and now he has achieved his original goal.

As we walked, we arrived at the tile factory without realizing it.

This tile factory was opened by him and Deng Yungui together, and it was where they really started their business.

In his previous life, Deng Yungui died of illness in the early 21st century. In this life, Deng Shirong reminded him to go to the hospital for regular checkups, which extended his life. However, he passed away seven or eight years ago. He lived to be 87 years old, which was enough for him to be satisfied.

This tile factory had been closed for many years, but driven by the Naye Film and Television City, more and more tourists came here to travel. In addition, the rise of live streaming in recent years has attracted countless anchors to come here for live streaming.

So, Deng Shirong reopened the tile factory. His purpose was naturally not to make money, but to promote these traditional crafts.

When he had nothing to do, he would come over to play and experience the hard work of making the big vats.

At this time, in the jar and tile factory, Deng Shirong's apprentice was leading his disciples to make large jars, and there were several internet celebrities live streaming beside them. This is why they are not short of money but are still willing to come and do this hard work.

This kind of hard work used to be done just to make a living, but now I do it for fun, which is a completely different experience.

Especially now that they are making large vats, there are tens of thousands of people watching online, and most of them are giving them thumbs up, which greatly increases their enthusiasm. After all, who doesn’t like to be praised for their craftsmanship? Deng Shirong took a look from a distance, then smiled and left without going in to disturb them.

Next, Deng Shirong strolled around the village. Today, Naye Village is no different from the real city center. It is even more prosperous than the city centers of many second-tier cities. After all, it is recognized as the No. 1 village in the country. The assets of the poorest families are not less than 10 billion. How can it be bad in a place where so many rich people gather? While strolling around the village, at least seven or eight of the ten people Deng Shirong met were outsiders. The number of outsiders has long been many times more than that of the locals.

After walking around the village, Deng Shirong returned to his villa and began to take inventory of his property.

He is 87 years old this year. If he were to live to the same age as in his previous life, he would have to say goodbye to this world next year. Although he is in very good health now and feels that he should have no problem living past 100, it is never too late to be safe.

Therefore, he planned to take stock of his property, prepare to call all his children and grandchildren back during this year's Spring Festival, and then formally divide the property among them.

Yes, for so many years, he has never divided the family business among his sons. Although everyone basically has his own business, if the family business is not divided, it is not divided. There are still many things that need to be explained clearly by him as a father.

After a careful inventory, Deng Shirong was shocked by the huge amount of his wealth.

He has been very busy over the years and has invested in many companies.

After all, he is a reborn person. As long as the companies he can name are basically able to make a name for themselves, it will definitely be a good thing to invest in them at the beginning of their business.

Deng Shirong had secretly become the world's richest man early on. He had no shortage of funds and owned a number of investment projects that were destined to take off, so it was hard for him not to make a lot of money.

Now, after a rough inventory, it is found that his wealth has reached an astronomical figure. Now he is the world's richest man, and it is no problem for him to defeat several people by himself.

Fortunately, he was well prepared and deliberately concealed his existence, otherwise his name as the world's richest man would have been exposed long ago.

After taking inventory of his property, Deng Shirong thought for a while and then picked up his phone to call his second son. He first wanted to confirm whether his second son could come back to celebrate the Spring Festival.

After all, there are so many important things to deal with every day that you may not be able to spare the time even during the Spring Festival.

The call was connected, and Deng Yunheng's steady voice came over: "Dad!"

Deng Shirong knew that his second son’s time was precious, so he didn’t waste any words and went straight to the point and asked, “Yunheng, can you spare some time to come back for the Spring Festival this year?”

Deng Yunheng said: "It's not clear yet. If I can spare the time, I will go back to spend the New Year with you."

Deng Shirong said: "Then try to find time to come back, I have something important to announce."

Deng Yunheng asked, "Dad, what's the big deal?"

Deng Shirong said: "Let's not talk about this for now. If you can come back, try to find time to come back."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Deng Yunheng replied: "I understand. If there is no emergency, I will go back to celebrate the New Year."

Deng Shirong said, "Okay, let's leave it at that for now. I won't disturb you from working."

Deng Yunheng said: "Okay, Dad, take care of yourself."

Deng Shirong said: "You should also take care of your health. There is always work to be done."

The father and son expressed their concern for each other and then hung up the phone.

Immediately afterwards, Deng Shirong called his third son, third daughter-in-law and eldest son-in-law one by one, informing them to come back home to celebrate the Spring Festival.

After calling them, Deng Shirong opened the Qidian website and started reading novels.

Although he had been reading online novels for more than ten years in his previous life and had read most of the novels that suited his taste, due to his interference in this life, he invested in acquiring Qidian very early, and also provided Dongzi with many creative ideas for classic novels, which had a significant impact on the entire industry.

Apart from anything else, at least Qidian has produced many classic works that did not exist in the previous life.

It is worth mentioning that Deng Shirong is also the most famous rich man on Qidian.com. Over the past 20 years, he has read novels and given rewards to many authors totaling more than 20 million yuan, basically spending millions on rewards every year.

After reading a novel for a while and giving a few rewards to the alliance leader, he went to Douyin to watch some short videos and live broadcasts. This is also an industry he invested in, so he must support it more, so he has given a lot of rewards to the anchors in the past few years.

At noon, Deng Shirong was too lazy to cook, so he just took out the food he wanted from the system space and made a meal.

Just after finishing his meal, Deng Shirong received a WeChat video call from his beloved granddaughter.

When the video was connected, Xiao Donger greeted with a smile on his face: "Grandpa, have you had lunch?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "I have eaten. Have you eaten yet?"

Xiao Dong'er said: "I have eaten too..."

Next, the grandfather and grandson chatted casually. Since the day when mobile phones were equipped with video function, the grandfather and grandson would send video chats almost every day. The frequency of their chats was the highest in the family and no one could compare to them.

From this we can see how good the relationship between the grandfather and grandson is.

This is actually normal. Deng Shirong has seven grandsons and two nephews in this life, but he is his only granddaughter. Moreover, his granddaughter has been so competitive since she was a child, which makes him love her to the core.

The only thing that gave him a headache was that Xiao Dong'er had slowly become a non-marriage person since he didn't know when. Even now, she is 43 years old and still has no plans to get married. She is determined to stick to her non-marriage policy to the end.

Deng Shirong is relatively open-minded about this. He believes that the most important thing in life is to be happy. Since his granddaughter doesn't want to get married, then let her not get married. It's no big deal.

Ordinary people who don’t get married are afraid that no one will take care of them in their later years. But Xiaodong’er doesn’t have to worry about this problem. She has so many brothers and nephews and nieces, and she is not short of money. Why does she need to worry about life problems in her later years?

Without this worry, getting married or not doesn't seem to be a big deal.

The grandfather and grandson chatted for about ten minutes before hanging up the video.

Deng Shirong had already made up his mind to leave one-third of the shares of Deng Group to his precious granddaughter. After all, Xiao Dong'er had been the president of Deng Group for several years and the chairman for more than ten years. She had made a lot of contributions to the development of Deng Group. In terms of prestige, she was second only to him, the founder.

Giving her one-third of the shares means that even without his support in the future, Xiao Dong'er will still have absolute authority in the Deng Group, which will be beneficial for her to continue to be in charge of the group.

…

As we all know, with the faster and faster development of our country, the festive atmosphere of the Chinese New Year is becoming weaker and weaker.

However, that kind of situation did not occur in Naye Village.

Under the leadership of Deng Shirong, Naye Village has undergone tremendous changes over the years, but the only thing that remains unchanged is the strong festive atmosphere of the Chinese New Year.

After the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, the Naye Deng family began to get busy. Every household began to prepare New Year's goods, offer sacrifices to various gods, and make various kinds of rice dumplings.

It is worth mentioning that nowadays, making sweet dumplings does not need to be done purely by hand as before. It has long been replaced by machine operation. The sweet dumplings made by the machine have a chewy texture and taste very good, while the sweet dumplings made purely by hand have only the excellent taste of the rice crust, and there is nothing much to say about the rest.

At this time, Deng Shirong was making sweet dumplings. The dumplings had been made by machine and were placed in several extra-large stainless steel basins. They were still a little hot to the touch. What he had to do was to stir the fried and peeled peanuts into the dumplings before they cooled down, and then pack the dumplings in the smallest plastic bags.

After these sweet dumplings are packaged, they can be put into the freezer for quick freezing after they have completely cooled down.

This way, when you want to eat it in the future, you can just take it out of the freezer and thaw it, and the taste will still remain chewy.

Of course, Deng Shirong has a system space, which is a hundred times more convenient than a freezer. No matter what is put in, it will be the same when you take it out. It is best to preserve the sweet dumplings in the space.

But it has to be put in the freezer to hide it from others.

It would take others at least several hours to pack the sweet dumplings into several pots, but Deng Shirong controlled the system space directly through his mind control and finished everything in less than a minute.

Deng Shirong doesn't need to prepare New Year's goods, as his system space has all kinds of ingredients.

After Deng Shirong finished making the sweet rice dumplings, his children and grandchildren came back one after another to celebrate the New Year.

On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, all the children and grandchildren came back except the second son's family and the third son's family.

On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, Deng Shirong presided over the year-end family meeting, and all the aunts rushed back to attend.

The annual clan meeting at the end of each year is basically the same, which is to first award rewards to outstanding students in the clan, then distribute dividends to the aunts, and finally distribute dividends to the clan members. After all this is done, the meeting can be adjourned.

The annual clan meeting of the Naye Deng family has also undergone several changes.

In the beginning, only the entire Naye Deng clan participated. Later, after the reputation spread, when the annual end-of-year clan meeting was held, villagers from all over the country would rush to watch and join in the fun. Now, the Naye Deng clan's year-end clan meeting is no longer limited to Shuangwang Town, and its influence has spread throughout the country.

In recent years, many internet celebrities and even stars have come to watch the year-end family gatherings.

Of course, live broadcast is not allowed, and even photos have to be screened. In any case, photos of Deng Shirong, the head of the clan, are not allowed to be circulated.

After the year-end family meeting, on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the third son and his family rushed back.

The second son and his family rushed back on New Year's Eve.

At this point, all the people are finally together, and there are people inside and outside the house, which shows how prosperous the Deng family is now.

Here, it is necessary to talk about how many children and grandchildren Deng Shirong has now.

First of all, let’s talk about the eldest son’s lineage. I won’t talk about Xiaodong’er because she is not married.

Dongzi was quite successful and gave birth to three children, two sons and one daughter, a very happy family.

Like the second son, Deng Changmao did not follow in his father's footsteps and go into politics. Instead, he chose the path of a scientific research tycoon. He successfully won the Fields Medal the year before last and became one of the country's leading mathematicians. He also has considerable influence internationally.

Deng Changmao's wife is also not simple. She comes from a scholarly family. Our family can borrow a famous saying from "The Little Li Flying Dagger": "Seven professors in one family, three academicians in father and son."

Deng Changmao also has a son and a daughter, and lives a happy life.

As the third son, Deng Changding inherited his parents' legacy and is currently a promising political star.

Deng Changding's wife is also not simple, which is actually normal. With their family background and his own abilities, the woman he chooses must be no bad. Not to mention his wife's family background, just talk about her herself. She is currently an associate professor at a 985 university and is very outstanding.

They had only one son.

Deng Changhai, the fourth son, was interested in being a director, perhaps because he was influenced by his family since he was a child. He graduated from the directing department of Beijing Film Academy. Because of the amazing resources he had, he has shot four movies so far, and the box office of the movies was very good, making him a successful rising star in the director circle and he is doing very well in the entertainment industry.

His wife is a wealthy, fair and beautiful woman whose family has assets worth billions.

The couple currently has a daughter and is planning to have a second child after they get their health back in shape.

His younger brother Deng Changce started his own business with the 1 billion start-up capital given by their mother and is still single.

Deng Changquan, the youngest son, was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology, one of the Seven Sons of National Defense, and embarked on the path of research and development. He is currently single.

Deng Changmou chose to go into politics after graduating from university and is currently single.

Speaking of the eldest daughter’s family, her grandson Zhu Shiba chose to join the army.

His wife is a member of the art troupe.

The couple had two sons.

As for the youngest daughter's family, Zhou Wenbin is a well-known playboy. When he was young, he changed girlfriends faster than he changed clothes. It was only in the past two years that he calmed down and married a beautiful woman from an ordinary family. He now has a son.

When eating the New Year's Eve dinner, Deng Shirong did not mention the matter of dividing the family because he was eating with many nephews and grandchildren.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, when his nephews and nieces had returned to their homes, Deng Shirong gathered his children and grandchildren and said, "I called all of you back to celebrate the New Year this year because I have something important to announce."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

As the eldest son, Deng Yuntai was the first to speak: "Dad, if there is anything important to announce, tell me!"

Deng Shirong did not keep the secret and said directly: "After the New Year, I will be 88 years old. People in their 80s and 90s may die at any time. Our family has not yet clearly divided the family. While everyone is back this year, I plan to divide this family among you, so that there will be some unclear things after I am gone."

"Dad, it's New Year's Eve, don't say such unlucky words."

"Dad, you are in such good health, you will definitely live a long life."

"Grandpa, you can kill a cow with one punch now, so you don't have to worry about this for the next 20 years."

"grandfather……"

Hearing Deng Shirong's words, his son, daughter-in-law, grandsons, granddaughters-in-law and granddaughters all spoke up.

"This man is not a god. Death is a matter of time. You don't need to say more. While I am still clear-headed, I will divide this house among you. How to develop your career in the future is up to you to worry about."

At this point, Deng Shirong looked at his eldest son and daughter-in-law and said, "Yuntai, Sister Ping, although I was the one who started this Yongjia Group for you, you two have put in a lot of effort to develop it to this point. From now on, this Yongjia Group is clearly yours."

"Thank you, Dad!"

“Thank you, Dad!”

Deng Yuntai and Zhang Xiuping looked at each other and thanked him one after another.

Deng Shirong continued, "In addition, I will give you another 25% of JD.com's shares. Then you can promote the strategic cooperation between Yongjia Group and JD.com and provide new impetus for the development of Yongjia Group."

Deng Yuntai and Zhang Xiuping were both shocked when they heard this.

Deng Yuntai shook his head and said, "Dad, you should give these Jingdong shares to Yunheng or Yunsong. I only have Yongjia Group."

"Just take it if you give it to me. I have other plans for Yunheng and Yunsong."

At this point, Deng Shirong looked at his only granddaughter again and said lovingly, "Dong'er, you have been the chairman of the Deng Group for a long time, but grandpa has not given you any shares over the years. Now I will give you 5% of the Deng Group's shares. From now on, you will be the largest shareholder of the Deng Group. I hope you can continue to lead the group to become bigger and stronger."

In the Deng Group, Deng Shirong, as the largest shareholder, owns a total of 13.71% of the shares. Giving 5% to his granddaughter is more than one-third.

Xiao Dong'er was shocked when she heard this and said, "Grandpa, you don't have to give me so many shares. Giving me 1% is more than enough."

Hearing this, Deng Yuntai couldn't help it. His father gave them too much. Although he was the eldest son, it was too hot for them to take so much. He quickly replied, "Yes, Dad, it's enough for us to have Yongjia Group. You also gave me shares in JD.com, and now you're giving me so many shares, Dong'er. This is really too much!"

Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "Brother, Dad has his reasons for making this arrangement, so don't refuse!"

Deng Yunsong also echoed, "Yes, brother, you are the eldest son in the family. According to the old concept, the eldest son is supposed to inherit the entire family business. Just take it with peace of mind."

The other brothers and sisters also echoed and advised their eldest brother to accept the shares. None of them spoke insincerely.

Deng Shirong felt very relieved by this scene. Although he could not guarantee whether his daughter-in-law or granddaughter-in-law had any thoughts in their minds, at least his seven children were really united and did not care about their own gains and losses at all.

Deng Shirong waved his hands happily and said, "Yuntai, don't worry, I have arranged for the others. Dong'er, you don't need to say anything more, just accept the shares."

At this point, Xiao Dong'er could only bite the bullet and nod, "Thank you, Grandpa!"

Deng Shirong looked at Dongzi and said, "Dongzi, you are the only son of your parents. In the future, the shares of Yongjia Group and JD.com will definitely be inherited by you or your children. So grandpa will not give you any other shares. I will just give you Qidian.com!"

Dongzi was shocked when he heard this: "Grandpa, you want to give me the Qidian website?"

The Qidian website is the most powerful online literature platform in the industry. It is of course a far cry from a behemoth like the Deng Group, but its value is also two or three hundred billion. My grandfather just gave it to him like that. Anyone would be shocked.

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "You are the most famous writer in the online literature world. I originally acquired this Qidian website to pave the way for you. It is most appropriate to leave it to you."

Dongzi was no longer polite after hearing this and said excitedly: "Thank you, Grandpa."

Shen Xianglan was listening nearby, and was nearly going crazy with excitement. Yongjia Group + 25% of JD.com's shares + Qidian.com, all of these would belong to them from now on.

Moreover, the eldest sister-in-law also holds 5% of the shares of Deng Group. She has no plans to get married. When she gets old, it is likely that her children will inherit her shares, and their family’s wealth will really skyrocket.

Deng Shirong looked at his second son and his family and said, "Yunheng, your status means you cannot engage in business, but Dad has already prepared your share for you: 2% of Deng Group's shares + 25% of Tencent's shares + 5% of Huawei's shares + 20% of Shunfeng's shares. These will be directly registered under Ah Mao's name, so there shouldn't be any problem."

Deng Yunheng and Gu Caiwei looked at each other and then thanked him together: "Thank you, Dad!"

When the others heard this, they all gasped. They obviously had not expected that their father (grandfather) still held shares in so many large companies.

Deng Shirong ignored everyone's shock. He looked at his third son's family and said, "Yunsong, yours is the same. Dad has already prepared it for you. 2% of Deng Group's shares + 25% of Alibaba's shares + 10% of Xiaomi's shares + 10% of Pinduoduo's shares. Just register them directly under A Ding's name."

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt their scalps tingling. How many assets did their father (grandfather) have that they didn't know about? "Thank you, Dad!"

Deng Yunsong and Pei Qinghua also thanked happily.

People of their status and position don't actually care about these material things, but their children and grandchildren do need them.

Deng Shirong looked at his fourth son's family and said, "Yunhua, you and your wife own a lot of businesses. Nanning Snack Street is officially given to you. In addition, I will give you 2% of the shares of Deng Group, 25% of the shares of Baidu, 5% of the shares of CATL, and 5% of the shares of Moutai."

Numb! Completely numb! At this point, everyone was shocked beyond measure.

"Thank you, Dad!"

Deng Yunhua and Fan Yuemei also expressed their gratitude excitedly.

Deng Shirong looked at his youngest son and his family and said, "Xiaoheng, you and your wife started relatively late, and so far you only have the Baibian Milk Tea business. I will give you 2.71% of the Deng Group's shares + 20% of NetEase's shares + 10% of Byte's shares + 15% of Meituan's shares."

As soon as these words came out, Deng Yunheng and Feng Yingying were also stunned and thanked him excitedly: "Thank you, Dad!"

Deng Shirong then looked at his eldest daughter and her family and said, "Ah Zhen, what I have prepared for you is 10% of ZTE's shares + 10% of Sina's shares + 5% of Wanda's shares + 5% of Didi's shares."

"Thank you, Dad!"

Deng Yunzhen and Zhu Junjie also thanked happily.

Deng Shirong looked at his youngest daughter and her family and said, "Azhu, what I have prepared for you is 10% of the shares of Ele.me + 10% of the shares of Kuaishou + 10% of the shares of YTO + 10% of the shares of Juewei."

"Thank you, Dad!"

Deng Yunzhu and Zhou Haidong also expressed their gratitude excitedly.

After distributing the shares to his children, Deng Shirong said, "The shares I gave to you seven brothers and sisters have different values, but they are all very well-run companies. With these shares, even if you do nothing but wait for the annual dividends, you can live a rich life that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

After the New Year, I will have someone transfer the shares to you.

There is a popular saying on the Internet now, which goes, "Wealth cannot last for more than three generations." Although I have left you a lot of property, it is obviously unrealistic to expect your generations to be so wealthy. There will always be some prodigal sons among the descendants who will squander our ancestors' fortune.

Therefore, in order to give future generations a chance to make a comeback, I specially built a secret treasure house, in which I stored a lot of gold, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as well as some rare woods. I will not tell you the specific value of it.

The things in this treasure house are to give future generations a chance to make a comeback. I have had five doors built in this treasure house. They need five keys and five passwords to be opened. From now on, each of you five brothers will have a key and a password, which will be passed down from generation to generation.

Under what circumstances can the wealth in the treasury be used? You five brothers can discuss and decide this later."

Everyone: “…”

This scene today will truly be unforgettable for them.

Especially Deng Shirong's seven children, they watched their father build the giant Deng Group step by step from scratch. He also gave them a start in their careers and guided them to achieve great success.

But they never expected that what they saw was just the tip of the iceberg of their father. Behind the scenes, their father had invested in so many high-quality companies, all of which were well-known domestic large companies. Who in the world could compare with his investment vision? "Dad, you are really too low-key. If the wealth you control were to be made public, even the world's richest people combined would not be enough to beat you."

"Yes, the total value of so many shares is really an astronomical figure."

"Grandpa is so awesome!"

“…”

Hearing the praise from his children and grandchildren, Deng Shirong couldn't help but smile.

When he was reborn, he didn't expect to make it so big, nor did he have the confidence that he could make it so big.

Everything changed probably from the day he was elected as the clan leader. Originally, he just wanted to lead his clan members to get rich, but he ended up making his business so big without realizing it.

Just when the adults were excited about the shares, Dongzi's five or six-year-old daughter asked in a baby voice: "Mom, today is New Year's Eve, shouldn't you give me a red envelope for the New Year?"

These words immediately drew everyone's attention back.

Then, the adults distributed red envelopes to the children with a smile, and the children who received the red envelopes were very happy.

Deng Shirong also gave red envelopes to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The red envelopes for the great-grandchildren were normal red envelopes, but those for the grandchildren were a bit special. He took out all the ten-plate monkey stamps in his collection and gave them to his grandchildren as red envelopes.

Among these ten plates of monkey stamps, eight were bought in Beijing a long time ago, and the other two were purchased later. The purpose was naturally to ensure that there would be equal benefits. The ten plates of monkey stamps are just right for one each for the grandchildren and grandsons-in-law.

Deng Shirong's ten grandchildren are all connoisseurs of value. They were extremely happy to receive the red envelopes containing the monkey stamps. They all immediately started taking photos and posting them on their Moments to show off.

After all, there are not many people in their thirties or forties who can receive red envelopes from their grandfathers during the Chinese New Year, and to receive a board of monkey stamps as a red envelope is even rarer. Therefore, once they post it on their circle of friends, they naturally attract the envy of countless people.

At twelve o'clock that night, countless fireworks and firecrackers from the entire Naye Village rushed into the sky and exploded in the sky.

The area within a radius of ten miles was as bright as day. This fireworks feast lasted for a full hour. I don’t know how many internet celebrities live broadcast this scene. The fireworks were so gorgeous and colorful that people all over the country cheered for it. This scene has continued for many years.

After watching this fireworks feast, Deng Shirong showed a gratified smile on his face.

He did not live this life in vain.
