Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

Early the next morning.

After having breakfast, Li Zonghe took the bus with his luggage and arrived at Yuexiu South Passenger Terminal.

Last year, he took a bus home for the New Year for the first time. Because he was inexperienced, he stopped the bus halfway. As a result, the bus was full and he had to stand all the way back to Wuzhou.

Although standing for several hours is nothing to a young man like Li Zonghe, if there is a seat to sit on, who would be willing to stand all the way? Not only was he uncomfortable, but he also had to bear the strange looks from others, as if he didn't pay for the ride.

After experiencing it once, Li Zonghe finally had experience this time, so he took a bus to the station to catch the bus, so that the situation like last year would not happen.

Yuexiu South Passenger Terminal was built in 1950. It is the oldest long-distance bus terminal in Guangzhou and the earliest provincial bus terminal in Guangzhou. It was also the first time for Li Zonghe to come to this station and look at this "majestic" station. , I couldn’t help but sigh that it is indeed a station in Guangzhou, it is so grand.

When Li Zonghe walked into the station, Chen Guohui and Chen Guomei also rushed over on the bus.

There are also Bobai people who work in other factories in Guangzhou. Whenever the factory has a holiday, they will take the bus to the station early to catch the bus.

As soon as Li Zonghe entered the station, he heard a familiar local accent shouting: "Bobai Bobai, have you forwarded the message to Brother Baijie or Paper Girl?"

Li Zonghe looked around and saw a young man holding a billboard with the two characters "Bobai" written on it and shouting in Hakka dialect from time to time.

Seeing the two extremely friendly characters "Bobai", Li Zonghe's whole body trembled, and his blood surged instantly.

There is actually a Bobai car in Guangzhou! ! !

At this moment, Li Zonghe was really excited, feeling like a guerrilla who had been wandering for many years finally found an organization.

Excited, Li Zonghe walked over with his luggage as fast as flying and asked in a trembling voice: "Excuse me, did Ya Dibo go to Guangzhou to pick up a car?"

The person in charge of holding up the billboard to attract customers was Deng Changliang from Naye Village. When he saw the excited passenger in front of him who was also speaking Hakka, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother, it has been open for more than three months."

Li Zonghe said excitedly: "It's great, it's really great. Finally, I don't have to change trains halfway."

Deng Changliang has been following the passenger transport company since it started operating. After more than three months, he is still familiar with the current passenger transport situation. Naturally, he knows how difficult it will be for people traveling far away if there is no direct bus. It will probably take another day.

"Yes, from now on our brothers and sisters in Bobai will all be able to take direct trains, so we no longer need to change trains halfway!"

Li Zonghe asked with a smile on his face: "Brother, what time does the bus leave?"

Deng Changliang said: "Normally we leave at 6pm, but now it is the Spring Festival travel period, there is no fixed time. Basically we leave when the seats are full."

Li Zonghe said: "Then I'll hurry up and buy a ticket first."

Deng Changliang nodded and said, "Well, go ahead. You can put your luggage here and I'll look after it for you."

Li Zonghe hummed, put down his luggage, and went to queue to buy tickets. He was not afraid that the other party was a liar. Anyway, there was nothing valuable in his luggage, just a quilt and a change of clothes. He kept the money in his inner pocket. inside.

Besides, the other party spoke Bobai Hakka, which was the main reason for his trust.

When people live in other provinces, they naturally trust fellow villagers in the same county who speak the same dialect.

After Li Zonghe queued up to buy tickets, Deng Changliang shouted in Hakka from time to time. Although Bobai tickets could be bought at the station, he was afraid that some fellow villagers would preemptively think that there were no Bobai tickets at the station, so he just bought Wuzhou tickets. Car, that would be funny.

Soon, two more girls came over quickly.

The two girls were none other than Chen Guohui and Chen Guomei. When they saw Deng Changliang holding a billboard with the two characters "Bobai" written on it, they were extremely excited and asked similar questions to Li Zonghe.

"Excuse me, when did we have a white car in Guangzhou?"

Deng Changliang replied with a smile: "It has been open for more than three months. From now on, our brothers and sisters in Bobai can take the bus directly home without having to change trains midway."

Chen Guohui and Chen Guomei looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes. This was really a happy event for them. Not only did they no longer have to suffer so much, but they could also shorten the time to go home and even save a lot of money. .

After asking a few questions, the two women put down their luggage and hurriedly went to queue to buy tickets.

Next, more and more Bobai people came to the station to take the bus, and around eleven o'clock, it was full of passengers.

With the bottom line set by Jiugong not to exceed the number of passengers, the car stopped taking customers and drove away directly, leaving other customers in another company car.

Sitting in a brand-new bus, most of the people in the car are fellow Bobai people working in Guangzhou. Everyone chats in the dialect of their hometown. This bus ride experience is completely different from the previous bus ride back to Wuzhou and then transfer.

Moreover, the fare is not outrageous. It only costs 25 yuan to return to Bobai from Guangzhou during the Spring Festival travel period. It is cheaper than the previous transfer to Wuzhou and then back to Bobai. The most important thing is that there is no need to wait for the bus in Wuzhou, and you can go directly Back to Bobai, the money spent is quite worthwhile.

…

Not only Guangzhou, but also cities such as Shenzhen, Dongguan, Foshan, Zhuhai, Zhongshan, Huizhou, and Jiangmen are also playing out similar plots. Unless their families specially write to tell them, these working men and working girls do not know where they are. The city has a Bobai car.

When they returned home and prepared for the "Long March", they actually saw the Bobai train at the station. The surprise was really beyond words.

Originally, among the company's first batch of ten buses, only two were allocated to Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and only one was allocated to other cities. During the off-season, Guangzhou and Shenzhen had one bus a day, while other cities had only one bus. There is a bus every other day.

Now that the Spring Festival is coming, if you want to make more money without overloading, you can only implement the strategy of parking without stopping.

Anyway, each car is matched with three drivers. In addition to the old driver hired from outside, the drivers trained by the other two tribes have been trained for more than three months and are capable of acting alone. The three drivers Being in charge of one car means that one can naturally park the car without stopping.

Ten buses run non-stop day and night, coupled with the increase in ticket prices during the Spring Festival travel season, they can bring the company a net profit of at least 10,000 yuan every day.

This is still the case when the company's buses adhere to the bottom line and do not overload. If they are overloaded with more than a dozen passengers like other buses, the company's income will be even more terrifying. However, Deng Shirong does not make this kind of money, and he does not allow the company he led to establish to make money. Legitimate operations are already making huge profits, so there is no need to engage in such crooked ways.

Seeing the company's rapid growth, General Manager Deng Changyu and other managers of the company were all very excited.

After all, their family also has shares in the company. The more the company earns now, the more money their family will receive in the future. Naturally, they all hope that the company will do well.

Deng Shirong was extremely satisfied after seeing it.

At this time, the New Year is approaching, and it is time to go home to celebrate the New Year.

Before the hotel closes, it is indispensable to pay wages and year-end bonuses to all hotel employees.

Last year, except for Zhang Guangzong, a special employee who received an extra 100 yuan, all other employees received an extra month's salary as year-end bonus.

This year, the hotel's net profit has been close to 40,000 yuan, so Deng Shirong waved his hand and asked his eldest son to give the employees an extra two months' salary as a final bonus for the year, and also gave Zhang Guangzong a red envelope of 188 yuan.

Initially, the employees thought that this year would be the same as last year, with one month more salary as year-end bonus. Unexpectedly, they would be given two more months of salary, which surprised them all.

Seeing the smiling employees, Deng Shirong added fuel to the fire and said: "Everyone has worked hard this year. Go back and celebrate the New Year happily with your family. When you come back to work next year, I will give you a salary increase."

As soon as these words came out, all the employees were so happy that they almost shouted "Long live the big boss!"

A salary increase, whether now or in future generations, is something to be happy about.

…

The twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Deng Shirong's family returned to Naye Village, while his mother-in-law took the car home early to celebrate the New Year.

As Deng Shirong's family returns, his niece and nephew-in-law will also go home for the New Year.

Deng Shirong took out three hundred yuan and gave it to his niece, and said with a smile: "One hundred yuan is your salary this month, and the other two hundred yuan is the red envelope my uncle gave you for the New Year."

He raised the wages of his niece and nephew-in-law after selling watermelons this year.

"Thank you uncle!"

Bu Dafang, who decided to follow his uncle, was not polite and happily accepted the money.

Then, Deng Shirong took out another sack of New Year's goods, most of which were brought back from the county, and said: "You can take these New Year's goods back for the New Year. The bicycles are all in the house. You can ride one back home and spend more time with your children at home. Don’t come to my place on the second day of the lunar month. You can bring Dahu over to study after the New Year.”

Bu Dafang smiled and nodded: "Okay, I understand, then we will go back!"

Jiang Dehu also greeted everyone one by one, and then took his wife home on his bicycle to celebrate the New Year.

…

In the next two days, Deng Shirong was busy making jackals with his daughter-in-law. During the Chinese New Year in Bobai, everything can be lacking, except gray water jackals and sweet jackals. These are essential things for the New Year. Without these two Zhenna’s year will be incomplete.

During this period, many tribesmen naturally came to ask about the situation of the passenger transport company. Deng Shirong did not say how much money he made, but only said that before he came back, the buses coming back from Guangdong were all full.

This word quickly spread among the clan, and everyone knew that the passenger transport company was making money, but no one knew how much it would make during the Spring Festival travel season.

Soon, the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month arrived, and Deng Shirong held this autumn's aid conference in the ancestral hall.

After everyone had arrived, Deng Shirong went up to the stage and gave a speech: "During the summer vacation this year, the tribe held a student aid conference, and many outstanding children from the tribe received grants and scholarships. Now that the autumn semester has ended, the children The final results have also come out, and it’s time for rewards again.

Next, ask the middle school students to take their transcripts to Teacher Changhua to register. Once the registration is completed, the scholarships will be distributed to everyone. "

Because they were notified in advance, after Deng Shirong finished speaking, the students from the clan who were well prepared took their transcripts to teacher Deng Changhua to register.

With the help of other tribesmen, they were all registered in less than half an hour.

In the spring semester this year, a total of 136 people from the whole family were admitted into the top ten of the class, 22 of them were ranked second or third, and 9 were ranked first. A total of 1,447 yuan was spent on scholarships.

Now, in the fall semester, 148 students from the whole family have entered the top ten in the class, 28 of them have ranked second and third, and 10 have ranked first. According to the previously set standards for financial aid, the scholarship It costs 1,600 yuan.

There is still 4135 bursaries donated by the tribesmen before. After subtracting 1600, there is still a balance of 2535.

After all the stipends were distributed, looking at the smiles on the faces of the clan middle school students who had received the awards, Deng Shirong came on stage again and said: "Compared with the spring semester this fall, 12 more people entered the top ten of the class. , I hope you can continue your efforts and achieve better results in the spring period next year.”

Then, Deng Shi'an, the old leader of the clan, also came on stage and said a few words of encouragement to the students in the clan.

At this point, the student aid program is over.

However, it was a rare gathering for the tribesmen. After dealing with the affairs of the association, Deng Shirong went on stage to talk to the tribesmen about the operation of the passenger transport company. Although the passenger transport company had only been in operation for three and a half months, it was still early for the company to pay dividends, but let The tribesmen know that the passenger transport company has made a lot of money, which can also make them live a happier life this year.

"During this period, I am afraid that what all brothers and nephews are most concerned about is the operation of the passenger transport company."

Deng Shirong looked at the people below and said: "In the past few days since I came back from the county, my tribe has come to ask me about the situation of the passenger transport company every day. I also said that the buses coming back from Guangdong are full every day, but everyone said I only know that the company is making money, but I probably have no idea how much money it can make.

Now, while all the clan members are here, I will tell you a rough number we have calculated. "

Deng Changbao, the second largest shareholder, is the most concerned about the company's operations. Hearing this, he immediately asked: "Jiu Gong, after completing this Spring Festival, can the company earn a hundred or eighty thousand?"

Those tribesmen who only know how to farm fields trembled in their hearts when they heard it. They asked for one hundred and eighty thousand. Is this money so easy to make?

Businessmen like Deng Yungui, Deng Yunfa, and Deng Changxiong were not surprised. They had also guessed this number.

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "I think your guess can be a little bolder."

Deng Changbao's eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't wait to ask: "Jiu Gong, tell us quickly, how much money can our passenger transport company make after this Spring Festival?"

Deng Shirong stopped being pretentious and said directly: "According to our statistics and forecasts, when the passengers are full, our company will make a net profit of more than 10,000 yuan a day. It is conservatively estimated that we will earn about 400,000 yuan after the Spring Festival travel."

As soon as these words came out, it was like pouring a bowl of water into a boiling oil pan, causing it to explode in an instant.

"Oh my god, you can earn 400,000 yuan during the Spring Festival?"

"It's so scary. Is it so easy to make money now?"

"It's not that money is easy to make now, it's that Mr. Jiu is so powerful. He took the lead in setting up the passenger transport company and spent so much money on it. It would be strange if it didn't make money!"

"What a loss, what a loss. If I had known that the passenger transport company could make such a profit, I would have bought an extra share even if I was selling the goods!"

"I've been throwing away the pot a long time ago, but I still stayed conservative. If I had known earlier, I should have gone to a credit union for a loan."

"Yes, at the time I thought the passenger transport company had a future, but I never thought it would be so profitable!"

"Who's good at arithmetic? If the company earns 400,000 yuan, how much money can you get per share?"

"I'm pretty good at arithmetic, so let me do the math for you guys. Before the Passenger Transport Company was established, the family raised a total of 2.63 million, with a share of 1,000 yuan, so there were 2,630 shares in total. Divide the 400,000 by 2,630 shares, and you get a total of 2,630 shares. You can probably earn more than 150 yuan from the stock!”

"Oh my god, that means I bought 4 shares. Just for this Spring Festival, I can make at least 600 yuan?"

"Yes!"

"..."

The more people from the clans talked about it, the more excited they became. The company was making money faster than they imagined.

As the company's second largest shareholder, Deng Changbao even narrowed his eyes with laughter. He invested all the funds he could use into the passenger transport company and bought a total of 24 shares. Now one share can earn 150 yuan, 24 The stock is 3,600 yuan.

Moreover, this is just the beginning. When the company grows and has dozens or even hundreds of buses, the speed of making money will leave his brick factory far behind. By then, he can completely become rich while lying down. Got it!

In addition to Deng Changbao, Deng Yungui, Deng Changxiong, Deng Yunfa and other clan members from various villages who spent "huge sums" to join the company were also so excited that they didn't know how to express their emotions. Most of them had their own businesses, and they were all quite profitable. Otherwise, it would be impossible to become a household worth ten thousand yuan in this era.

But the small business they run is not at the same level as a promising big business like the passenger transport company.

This big business was started by the clan leader. They really admired the clan leader who led them to make money.

Deng Shirong and other tribesmen calmed down a little, and then said: "The company is a company owned by our entire tribe. Since the company has made money, I have a suggestion. We will not make individual donations for the next student aid, but directly donate it to The company is responsible for providing financial rewards to outstanding students in the clan.

Also, when the company makes a lot of money in the future, our Yadeng family will pay for ancestor worship, build ancestral halls, build schools, build roads, build river embankments, etc., all of which will be paid for by the company. What do you think? "

Hearing this, Deng Shian, the secretary of the brigade, was the first to respond: "This is a good suggestion. These are important events in the clan and are closely related to every clan member. It is most appropriate for the company to pay for these. "

Deng Changbao also nodded and said: "This is what it should be. I agree."

Other clan members also expressed their opinions one after another. No one would have any objections to this kind of thing. The head of the Ren family is the major shareholder of the company. The company pays for these things. The person who suffers the most interests is the clan leader. The leader of the Ren family is the major shareholder. No one has any opinions. What opinions can they, the small shareholders, have?

After talking about this matter, the clan meeting came to an end.

Next, everyone chatted casually for a while and then dispersed.

…

This year, the whole Naye Deng family is filled with laughter and laughter.

Although the economy of most people in the clan is still very tight, after all, the money earned from selling watermelons and the little capital saved over the years have basically gone to the passenger transport company, and the passenger transport company has not yet paid dividends. , the life of the tribesmen is naturally quite embarrassing.

But everyone in the clan knows that the passenger transport company can earn three to four hundred thousand yuan after the Spring Festival travel season. As shareholders, they are naturally happy.

On New Year's Eve, during the New Year's Eve dinner, Deng Shirong made another summary and outlook, and the family enjoyed themselves happily.

In the evening, many more people came to Deng Shirong's house to watch the Spring Festival Gala than last year.

The main reason is that after watching the Spring Festival Gala last year, everyone discussed the excitement of the Spring Festival Gala the next day. Those who did not watch the TV regretted it and slapped their thighs.

They missed last year's Spring Festival Gala, and naturally they couldn't miss this year's Spring Festival Gala again.

Therefore, it was still early before the Spring Festival Gala started, and the wooden shed of Deng Shirong's house was crowded with people, and people kept coming. Before seven o'clock in the evening, at least a thousand people came to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

You must know that in this era, the total population of the entire Naye Deng family was only more than 3,000, and now more than 1,000 people crowded into Deng Shirong's house to watch the Spring Festival Gala. This is equivalent to more than one-third of the whole family coming here. Then The scene can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the Spring Festival Gala will be broadcast on time.

After last year's Spring Festival Gala, this year's Spring Festival Gala was even better. The party combined mainstream culture and popular culture, and invited Hong Kong and Taiwan performing arts stars to participate, realizing the cultural integration of the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and the program was indeed exciting, even Deng Shirong watched it. Got to relish it.

The New Year custom in Guangxi is to set off fireworks and firecrackers on time at midnight.

Therefore, when it is approaching midnight, some tribesmen, although reluctant to leave, have no choice but to go home and set off fireworks.

But there were also hundreds of people who did not go back and still chose to stay and watch the Spring Festival Gala.

The last thing to be sung was the Spring Festival Gala theme song "Unforgettable Tonight". This theme song has been used to future generations since it came out tonight.

After watching the Spring Festival Gala, the clan members also went back. Deng Shirong's family first prepared sacrifices for Grandpa, and then made some midnight snacks when they came back.

While having supper, Deng Shirong said to his eldest son: "Yuntai, while you are managing the hotel this year, you should also pay attention to the manufacturers of various commodities, whether they are food, daily necessities, knitwear, tobacco, alcohol, electrical appliances or other hardware. Department stores, etc. Anyway, we have to find a way to get the contact information of these manufacturers. "

With the chief designer's southern tour, the situation of reform and opening up is getting better and better, and the plan of chain supermarkets can also be put on the agenda.

After all, this matter cannot be solved overnight. Deng Shirong’s plan was to let his eldest son start preparations after the Chinese New Year, and then open the first supermarket around 1986.
