Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

During the Spring Festival of the year before last, in order to take care of their eldest daughter, the family stayed in Bobai County for the New Year.

Last Spring Festival, the family moved to a new home, so the family stayed in Nanning to celebrate the New Year.

In this way, it has been two years since I celebrated the New Year in my hometown. Therefore, during the Spring Festival this year, Deng Shirong took his children back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year.

In fact, according to the rules in Naye Village, people like Deng Yunheng and Gu Caiwei, who have seen their families and set a wedding date, have to give gifts to the woman during the holidays, and then invite the woman to come over to celebrate the New Year.

However, the distance between Bobai and Wuhan is too far, and it is definitely impossible to take into account such courtesy things.

What you can do is to make a phone call during the holidays to say hello.

When I returned to my hometown, it was already the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month.

The first thing after arriving home, Deng Shirong asked people to inform all clan members that on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, a dividend meeting would be held in the new ancestral hall.

After the news spread, the tribesmen couldn't help but cheer.

Although, now every household of the Nayedeng clan has several Dabuliao savings, and they are considered wealthy people in the countryside. But who can have too much money? It’s always nice to be able to receive dividends.

As a result, the tribesmen started discussing excitedly, wondering how much money they would get from this dividend.

"I heard that the business of Master Kong's instant noodles is very good now, and the newly launched eight-treasure porridge has also opened up sales. The money earned this year is much more than last year, and the dividends should not be less than last year."

"It is true that we will make more money this year, but now the passenger transport company and the food company have merged into a group company. I heard that the group company has a relatively large investment plan next year and will need a lot of money, so the dividends this time will not be too big. of."

"Do you have any big investment plans next year?"

"Has the clan leader thought of any good investment projects again?"

"I don't know exactly what to invest in. Anyway, I heard that a lot of money will be invested."

"The larger the investment, the more profitable the project is, which is a good thing. We are not short of money now anyway, and it doesn't matter whether we pay dividends or not."

"Yeah, it's not like before. In the past few years, because of two fund-raising efforts to start a company, everyone's money was tight, so they all looked forward to the company's dividends. But the company's dividend last year not only earned back all the money invested before, but also It has doubled, so everyone has a lot of money at once.”

"Anyway, how much the clan head will be divided into will naturally be decided based on the company's situation. We just wait to receive the money."

"..."

While the clan members were talking a lot, Deng Yungui, who had nothing to do, came to Uncle Jiu's house.

"Uncle Nine!"

"Yungui!"

After greeting each other, Deng Yungui asked: "Uncle Jiu, how much dividends will the company pay this year?"

Deng Shirong handed over the chimney next to him and said: "It's the same as last year."

Deng Yungui took the chimney and said with a smile: "That's quite a lot. Last year's dividend not only allowed everyone to pay off the debts they owed, but also saved a large amount of money. If we can get so much dividends this year, which one I really have too much money and no place to spend it.”

Deng Shirong laughed and said: "It's not that exaggerated. I can only say that living in the village is enough, but it's still far behind the real rich people. If nothing else, just buying a car or something, at least it's not enough." It costs more than ten or two hundred thousand, and not many people in the clan can afford it.”

Deng Yungui took out tobacco and a lighter from his pocket, and said with some emotion: "Uncle Jiu, your vision is different. I have never even thought about this car, but this thing is nothing to you, Uncle Jiu. Why don’t you buy a car and come back?”

Deng Shirong said: "I plan to buy one after the Chinese New Year. In fact, I have wanted to buy it for a long time. But before, I was not qualified to buy a car. Later, I was able to buy one. The world is becoming more and more chaotic. After buying it for my children, I am afraid that I will not be able to buy it for my children." They cause trouble, so they put off buying it.”

Deng Yungui nodded and said: "I have also heard many people say that car gangsters and road bullies are everywhere now, and it is indeed more dangerous to drive out."

Deng Shirong said: "The main purpose of buying a car after the new year is for Yun Heng to get married. Then it will be more respectable to use a car to pick up the bride and wedding guests."

Deng Yungui, while stuffing tobacco into the mouth of the chimney, praised: "Uncle Jiu, you are really generous. You used a car to pick up the bride. Not to mention that we are both prosperous. I'm afraid there is no such precedent in the whole of Bobai."

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "It seems strange now, but in more than ten years, it will probably be commonplace to pick up the bride in a car."

Ever since the incident at the cylinder tile factory was verified, Deng Yungui had no doubts about Uncle Jiu's judgment. He sighed again: "It's unbelievable. Just a few years ago, when every family in the village got married, the bride would come by herself. Yes, even bicycle pick-ups are rare.

In the past two years, people who have been getting married have basically picked up the bride on bicycles. Many people even use tractors or large trucks to pick up the bride. The changes have been big enough.

But according to what you said, Uncle Jiu, in more than ten years, picking up the bride in a car will become a normal thing. This social change is really hard to understand! "

Deng Shirong said: "Our country has been developing at a high speed since the reform and opening up. Only in this way can we have the opportunity to surpass those Western developed countries. If we are still as poor as before, then when will our Chinese nation be able to restore its ancestral glory and regain its glory?" Stand on top of the world!”

Deng Yungui took a few puffs from his cigarette and asked, "Uncle Jiu, do you think our country really has a chance to surpass those developed countries in the West?"

Deng Shirong said confidently: "It's not that there is a chance, but that we will definitely surpass those developed countries in the West, and even surpass the United States. There is a chance."

Deng Yungui looked at Uncle Jiu with a shocked face and asked: "Uncle Jiu, are you kidding? Does our country have a chance to surpass the United States?"

Deng Shirong understood his shock. This era was an era when the Chinese people lacked confidence and reached the peak of worshipping foreigners. I won't talk about specific examples. Anyway, anyone who knows a little about this era would like to give a peanut to those dogs who worship foreigners.

These people really discredited their ancestors, and they are not worthy of being a member of the Chinese nation.

Fortunately, in later generations, the new generation of our country is becoming more and more confident and patriotic, so that those who gain benefits by mocking and insulting their own motherland gradually lose their market and become rats that everyone shouts and beats.

Some public intellectuals who were active in the past have also gradually disappeared without a trace.

Some patriotic scholars who were ridiculed by those foreign worshippers for more than a decade for their patriotic speeches have finally won everyone's respect, which can be regarded as "the clouds have cleared and the moon has appeared".

"As the most developed country in the world today, our country will definitely not be able to surpass them in a short period of time."

Deng Shirong said: "However, as long as our country can maintain the current speed of development, I believe that after a few decades, our descendants will be able to see the day when our country surpasses the United States."

Deng Yungui held the pipe and said: "I hope there will be such a day. After all, the gap between us and the United States is really too big. I heard that the living standards of the Americans a hundred years ago were better than ours now. With such a big gap, it is really difficult for us to surpass them in a few decades."

Deng Shirong said: "Let's not talk about this. Anyway, you and I will definitely not see that day. We can only let our descendants work hard to achieve this goal."

Deng Yungui smiled, and then muttered After taking a few puffs of the cigarette, he said, "Uncle Jiu, after receiving the company's dividends this time, I will have a lot of money in my hands. There is no point in keeping it in the bank. What do you think I should do?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "You are already very old. You don't want to enjoy your retirement life, but want to continue doing business?"

Deng Yungui put the cigarette aside and sighed, "I can't help it. This is my life of hard work. When I have free time, I think about doing something."

Deng Shirong thought for a while and said, "If you really want to do business, you can try to open a karaoke dance hall. This should be very profitable."

Deng Yungui looked at a loss and said, "Uncle Jiu, what is a karaoke dance hall? Is it a place for dancing?"

Deng Shirong said, "In simple terms, it is a place for singing and dancing."

Deng Yungui said: "Uncle Jiu, this is the first time I've heard of this. How do you make it? How much money do you need to invest?"

Deng Shirong did not answer but asked: "Do you know the Xiyuan Restaurant (the restaurant opened by the owner of the previous Suifeng Hotel) that has just been built in the county?"

Deng Yungui shook his head and said: "I don't know. I haven't been to the county for a while. Is this Xiyuan Restaurant related to this karaoke?"

Deng Shirong said: "There are restaurants and karaoke dance halls on the second floor of Xiyuan Restaurant. If you really want to do it, you can go to the county to have a look."

Deng Yungui said with some excitement: "Then I will go to the county after the New Year."

Deng Shirong said: "I heard that the total investment of this Xiyuan Restaurant is 700,000. I went to see it a few days ago. It is still very well built. There are five floors in total. The bottom floor is used for dessert stores, and the second floor is The restaurant and karaoke hall just mentioned, the third to fifth floors have a hotel with 94 beds, and there are also conference rooms.

If you want to do it, there is no need to make it so complicated, just build a karaoke hall, so that the investment does not need to be so much. ”

Deng Yungui nodded and said: "Okay, I know, I will go to the county town after the New Year to have a look. If it is not complicated, I will invest in a karaoke hall to try, if it is complicated, forget it. ”

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "This thing is not that complicated, you will know it after you go there a few times."

At this time, karaoke halls began to rise in China, and they became popular all over the country in an instant. At this time, opening a karaoke hall can be said to make money with your eyes closed, and there is absolutely no possibility of losing money.

Speaking of this, people in later generations can't imagine what karaoke halls in this era are like.

The first karaoke hall in my country was born in the Oriental Hotel in Guangzhou. It is an open hall that can accommodate 60 people. There is a karaoke device on a small round stage. When guests sing, it is like performing on stage, which makes people nervous. Some people even cry and leave the stage because they can't stand the pressure...

This is not leisure and entertainment, it is just like participating in a singing competition.

However, if Deng Yungui really intends to open a karaoke hall, Deng Shirong will definitely remind him to open a box-style one. It is best to have both an open hall and a box-style one, so that different guests can choose freely.

After all, there are many different people. Some people are born to like to show off, commonly known as people crazy. They will be more excited when singing in front of a large audience. If they sing in a box, they may find it boring.

Next, the two chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Deng Yungui went back.

...

Soon, it was the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Today is a happy day for the company to distribute dividends. After breakfast, the tribesmen came to the new ancestral hall in groups. Then they spontaneously and consciously took out the folding chairs stored in the ancestral hall and put them in place, and took towels to hold them. The chairs are wiped clean so that other clan members can sit on them when they come.

By around 11 a.m., most of the tribesmen had arrived.

Although they are all members of the Nayedeng clan, because they are scattered in more than 20 natural villages, apart from the natural village and the adjacent natural villages that are familiar to them, many other natural villages that are far apart actually do not know each other. of.

This is despite increased exchanges in recent years. If it had been a few years ago, there would have been even more people who didn't know each other.

After all, this is a tribe with more than 3,000 members, and the number continues to grow. It is impossible for them to know all of them.

In fact, even the leader of the clan, Deng Shirong, cannot know all the clan members, only those who are more active.

Many tribesmen have just met each other, and they will feel familiar when they see each other, but they don't know each other's name.

At this time, all the tribesmen gathered together, said hello to each other, and chatted with acquaintances from other natural villages, and time passed unknowingly.

Around 11:15, the bank's cash transport truck appeared in front of the tribesmen again.

The tribesmen had already experienced this kind of situation last year, and naturally they would not make a fuss anymore. They just watched curiously as the cash transport truck stopped, and then the heavily armed security personnel got out of the car, and then bank staff carried the money. Go to the podium.

After doing all this, the bank staff said hello, got back on the cash transport truck and left.

After the cash transport truck left, Deng Shirong, who was sitting on the rostrum, smiled and said: "Dear tribesmen, the cash bank has helped transport it. This year, the group company has indeed made a lot more money than last year, but after receiving The group company will also be engaged in other big projects, and there will be many places where money is needed.

Anyway, everyone is not short of money now, so I decided that this year’s dividend will be the same as last year, which is 2,000 yuan per share. The tribesmen whose names are read next can come up and collect the money! "
