Chapter 266 The Development Plan of the Whole Clan [6000 Words]
It has always been easy to grow fruits but difficult to sell them.
Even in the sales network of later generations, there are often news about fruit farmers unable to sell fruit, and hundreds of tons of fruit rotting in the fields.
Although fruits are scarce in this era, it stands to reason that they should not have to worry about selling them in the next few years, but hundreds of households in the Naye Deng family grow watermelons. The scale of this planting is still quite large, and the purchase contract must be signed with the supply and marketing cooperative in advance. Only then can you rest assured, lest you die if you cannot find a buyer when the watermelon is ripe.
Therefore, after seeing that all the tribesmen were planting watermelons, Deng Shirong took the time to go to Shuangwang Supply and Marketing Cooperative and found Guan Yongying's Manchu uncle Guan Dewu.
After greeting each other, Deng Shirong got straight to the point: "Relative, I came here mainly to talk to you about the watermelon acquisition."
In fact, for this kind of thing, we should have negotiated the purchase price and signed a contract with the supply and marketing cooperative in advance before planting, but the tribe members just followed the trend of planting and didn't think so long-term at all.
Guan Dewu smiled and said: "Uncle Jiu, this is no problem. The price is the same as last year. You can sign the contract at any time."
Deng Shirong said: "Relatives, this year it is not just my family who is planting, but hundreds of families in our Bangjie brigade are also planting. If nothing unexpected happens, this year's watermelon harvest is conservatively estimated to be tens of thousands of tons. How about you?" Let’s ask the leaders first to see if your supply and marketing cooperative needs to purchase so much?”
Guan Dewu was surprised when he heard this. If it was only a hundred or dozens of tons of watermelon, then he could make the decision casually. But for tens of thousands of tons of watermelon, this is really not a small amount. He must ask the leader for instructions. Just fine.
Therefore, Guan Dewu nodded and said: "This quantity is a bit large. Uncle Ninth, please wait for me for a while. I will ask the leader for instructions."
Deng Shirong hummed and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble the relatives!"
Guan Dewu smiled and said: "Uncle Jiu, you're welcome. Our supply and marketing cooperative is originally obliged to purchase agricultural and sideline products from farmers. Although the quantity this time is a bit large, the shelf life of watermelons is relatively long. So I guess it’s okay to acquire them all.”
After saying that, Guan Dewu went to ask the leader for instructions.
A few minutes later, Guan Dewu returned to Deng Shirong with a red face and said with a smile: "Uncle Jiu, our leader said that no matter how many watermelons there are, our supply and marketing cooperative will accept them all. We can sign an unlimited quantity first. The acquisition contract and the acquisition price remain unchanged from last year.”
Deng Shirong is not surprised by this. After all, supply and marketing cooperatives are behemoths all over the country. Their sales channels really have no rivals in this era. Let alone 10,000 tons of watermelons, it is millions or even tens of millions of tons of watermelons. For the entire supply and marketing cooperative system, It's all trivial to say.
But then again, it was okay for the past few years. In the late 1980s, the national fruit production increased, and the supply and marketing cooperatives also began to decline. By then, if the fruit is sold directly to the supply and marketing cooperatives as it is now, it is estimated that It's not possible anymore.
Of course, by that time, there will be more and more people running the fruit business. If the supply and marketing cooperative doesn't buy it, other businessmen will naturally buy it. If you don't like the low purchase price given by the businessman, you can go out and find sales on your own.
In short, as long as you have a flexible mind, you can sell anything no matter what age you are.
Deng Shirong smiled and responded: "That's good. I feel relieved with this sentence."
Next, the two parties signed a contract. With this contract in hand, the tribesmen would not have to worry about selling the watermelons they planted this year.
…
Beijing.
In a state-owned hotel near Peking University, Deng Yunheng was having a dinner with five classmates in his dormitory.
Deng Yunheng's five roommates all come from different places. Among them, the roommate who is from the capital is called Tang Mingjie. The elders in his family are all officials. Although he claims to be just a sesame official, once the "sesame official" in the capital is outside, place, then he is a proper official.
In addition, Tang Mingjie is the only person in the dormitory who can compare financial resources with Deng Yunheng, and it can be seen that his family background is definitely not as simple as he said.
The roommate from Heilongjiang is named Zheng Shifeng. He comes from an ordinary rural family. This guy is very tall and tall. He is over 1.88 meters tall. He is the force in charge of the dormitory.
The roommate from Hubei is named Chu Zhenyu. He comes from an ordinary rural family. This guy has thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is quite manly and is responsible for the good looks in the dormitory.
The roommate from Zhejiang is called He Yong. He comes from a good family and his financial resources are second only to Deng Yunheng and Tang Mingjie. He is a very shrewd person.
My roommate is Cui Wenguang from Henan. He comes from a working-class family and is a bit introverted. When chatting in the dormitory, he is just a quiet listener. Unless someone asks him, he rarely answers.
After nearly two years of getting along, the six of us still have a very good relationship, and we basically go out for dinner once a month.
During the meal, several people were chatting away from home and abroad, and somehow the topic of fruits came up.
Tang Mingjie looked at Deng Yunheng and said, "Speaking of fruits, that belongs to the south. Yunheng, your family is from Guangxi. There should be a lot of fruits in your hometown, right?"
Deng Yunheng said with a smile: "There are indeed a lot of fruits in my hometown. Fruits are produced in all seasons. There is also a song in our county that sings about the fruit production in the four seasons of the lunar calendar. The song goes like this: The whole county of Bobai is a treasure land. All fruits are suitable, March is bayberry and April is plum, May is peach and lychee, June is pineapple with yellow skin, July is longan and sand pear, August is full of bananas, September is full of oranges and persimmons, and October is full of grapefruits. In the city, carambolas are in good business all year round.
In addition, there are sugar cane, loquat, mango, papaya, banana, myrtle, black olive, yellow olive, glycerin, lemon, orange, pineapple, grape, Luo Han Guo, etc., all year round. They all have fruits to eat, and now should be the season for eating bayberries. "
Several roommates looked at each other in shock. There were a lot of fruits here. They had never even heard of them, let alone eaten them.
Tang Mingjie drooled and said: "This is so cool. I like to eat fruits the most, especially the most famous lychees and longans in the south. I am simply salivating. Unfortunately, there were no two fruits sold in the capital before. Until Last year, I don’t know who was so powerful that he finally transported your longan to the capital and sold it. That was the first time I ate longan, and the taste was really amazing.”
He Yong said: "I have also eaten longan. It tastes really delicious and very sweet."
Zheng Shifeng sighed and said, "I've never even seen what lychees and longans look like, let alone eaten them."
"Looking back at Chang'an, there are piles of embroidery. Thousands of gates are opened on the top of the mountain. A red concubine riding on a horse laughs, but no one knows that it is a lychee."
Chu Zhenyu read a poem and then said: "I have heard of this lychee for a long time, but it's a pity that I haven't been able to taste it yet!"
Deng Yunheng spread his hands and said: "My family has planted a thousand lychees, and they are the best variety of lychees, Guiwei. It's a pity that when we go back after the holiday, the lychee season is almost over, and these things don't look like apples." It’s so durable that I can’t even bring it to you to eat.”
Tang Mingjie said in surprise: "Yunheng, your family has planted thousands of lychees?"
Deng Yunheng blinked his eyes and said, "Brother Jie, isn't there just a thousand lychees? What's so strange about that?"
Tang Mingjie put his arm around Deng Yunheng's shoulders and asked, "Yunheng, are you going home this summer vacation?"
Deng Yunheng nodded and said: "I didn't go back during the Spring Festival last year. I will definitely go back during the summer vacation."
Tang Mingjie chuckled and said, "Then can I be a guest at your home?"
If it were another classmate, Tang Mingjie would definitely not say this, but Deng Yunheng has a cheerful personality, a generous manner, and has plenty of money. Obviously his family background is good, and the relationship between the two is good, so he has no scruples. His thoughts spoke out.
"Of course. Brother Jie, if you don't mind the long journey, I'd love for you to come to my house as a guest!"
Deng Yunheng nodded without hesitation, then looked at the other roommates and said: "Brother Feng, Brother Yu, Brother Yong, Brother Guang, the same goes for you. If you don't mind that my home is far away, I also welcome you to summer vacation. Come to my house as a guest."
Zheng Shifeng was heartbroken when he heard it, and asked: "Yunheng, is this convenient?"
Deng Yunheng laughed and said: "What's the inconvenience of this? You don't have to worry about food and accommodation. I will definitely arrange everything for you."
Chu Zhenyu was also moved when he heard this, and asked: "Yun Heng, is it really okay for so many of us to go?"
Deng Yunheng smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem. My dad is very hospitable. He would be very happy if he knew that I would bring my classmates back. Moreover, his cooking skills are also good. He knows some major cuisines. I guarantee that you will be satisfied after eating them. .
The most important thing is that if we go back during the summer vacation, we will have as much lychee, pineapple, huangpi, glutinous rice, star fruit, longan and other fruits as we want. I guarantee that your trip will be worthwhile. "
Hearing this, even Cui Wenguang, who has always been a man of few words, couldn't help but say: "Yun Heng, you are completely tempting us!"
Tang Mingjie said excitedly: "Then it's settled, when the summer vacation comes, we will go to Yun Heng's house as guests."
Zheng Shifeng nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, let's go together, just in time to see what kind of place with outstanding people has given birth to such an outstanding person as Yun Heng."
Chu Zhenyu, He Yong, and Cui Wenguang also nodded in agreement.
Several people are full of expectations for their summer trip to Guangxi.
…
Naye Village.
Deng Shirong sat under his wooden shed, burning cigarettes and thinking about family affairs.
Everyone has a sense of responsibility, and this sense of responsibility changes with the change of identity.
For example, if you are a parent, you have the responsibility to educate your children well and hope that they can succeed. If you are a teacher, your responsibility is to educate students well, hoping that they can become the pillars of the country. Once you take the top position in the county, you must look at the entire county and seek development for the people of the entire county.
Deng Shirong is now the head of the Naye Deng clan and is respected and loved by the whole clan. Naturally, he has to put some effort into leading the development of the whole clan.
In the past, bursaries and scholarships were set up in the clan just to encourage the clan members to study hard. This was to cultivate talents for the clan. It would take ten or twenty years to be effective, and it would not help at all to get rid of poverty and become rich.
This year, the whole clan has planted watermelons. If things go well, they can make a lot of money. However, this is only a short-term harvest. In a few years, the fruit production in various places will increase. It will be impossible to make money like now.
Therefore, Deng Shirong had to think of a longer-term plan to make money and truly lead his people out of poverty and become rich.
In fact, without thinking too much, a ready-made plan appeared in Deng Shirong's mind.
When he was looking for a way out for his second nephew, he thought of a plan with a relatively high profit limit. This plan was to run transportation.
Transportation is divided into passenger transportation and freight transportation. At that time, Deng Shirong believed that the competition in passenger transportation was too fierce and was not suitable for his second nephew, so he gave up this more profitable plan, and finally let his second nephew choose freight transportation, which was relatively less risky.
Now, Deng Shirong feels that this passenger transport is simply a business tailor-made for their Naye Deng family.
If the passenger transport industry is operated by individuals, the competition it faces will indeed be too fierce, because those who dare to engage in this industry in this era are relatively unruly people. Basically, they are the kind of talented people who can summon hundreds or dozens of people with a single shout. , there is no way an honest kind of person can survive in this industry.
However, no matter how awesome an individual is, can he be better than a group of more than 3,000 people?
Using the power of a group to run passenger transportation, which colleague would dare to use strong methods to suppress it?
The more he thought about it, the more feasible the plan became. Deng Shirong decided to wait until the watermelon harvest this year and hold a clan meeting while selling watermelons to discuss the matter with the clansmen to see if they were willing to do it. If you want to, just do it. If you don’t want to, forget it.
Thinking of this, Deng Shirong felt that it was necessary to make arrangements in advance, such as arranging a group of tribesmen to learn to drive. The earlier the better, because driving is easy to learn, but it takes a long time to learn to repair a car. .
Of course, there is no need to learn professional car repair skills, as long as you can solve some simple problems, it is enough.
As for which tribesmen should be arranged to learn to drive, Deng Shirong thought for a moment and then looked at the Hengmenkou Village next door.
In the entire Bangjie brigade, it is definitely controversial to say which village is the richest. No village can dominate other villages, but if you want to say which village is the poorest, there is no controversy at all. It must be Hengkou Village.
Just how poor Hengkou Village is, I'm afraid I can give you an idea of just how poor it is.
After Bangjie Village (Brigade) received electricity in the previous life, in the first few years, Deng Shirong's family ordered more electricity than the entire Hengkou Village combined. From this, we can see that Hengkou Village has What a saving.
To be able to save to such an extent, you can imagine how poor this village is.
Deng Shirong's grandfather and his ancestor at Hengmenkou were brothers, and their blood relationship was actually relatively close. Now that there was such a good thing, it was appropriate to take proper care of his grandpa's descendants.
Therefore, thinking of this, Deng Shirong put away his chimney and walked towards Hengkou Village with his hands behind his back.
…
Hengkou Village is a relatively small village in Bangjie's brigade, with only 26 households and more than 100 people in the village.
Because there are relatively few people in the village, the buildings in Hengkou Village are somewhat different from other villages. All the houses in their village are connected, showing a "non" shape, with a road in the middle, and several horizontal lines on both sides. Row after row of houses.
There is a family living in the first row. The head of the household is named Deng Changwen. When he was young, he was a famous strongman in the village. He often picked up two hundred kilograms of things to sell in other communes without even stopping to rest in the middle. He was very awesome. A cool character.
Unfortunately, one time he picked things to sell in the commune next door. Because he was overworked, he put down his things and fell asleep. He didn't even have time to wipe off his sweat, so he fell asleep like this. The consequences were very serious. When people woke up, they would fall asleep. I vomited blood directly.
Since then, Deng Changwen's health has failed.
If I had the conditions to go to a big hospital for treatment, maybe nothing would happen. But my family was very poor at that time, so there was no way to go to a big hospital for treatment. So I took some medicine from the barefoot doctor in the village, and that was it. Carrying it hard.
The result was naturally that it got worse and worse. After holding on for more than ten years, I finally left.
The family was originally in a bad situation, and the family's breadwinner had been ill for more than ten years, which made the family even worse.
Only when the children have grown up and the village has divided the fields among households can the family's food and clothing problem be solved.
However, the problem of food and clothing was solved, but the marriage problem of her children gave Mrs. Changwen a headache.
Deng Changwen had a total of six children, four sons and two daughters. The four sons were named Deng Silong, Deng Sihu, Deng Sibao, and Deng Silang. Each of their names was more fierce than the last.
Among them, the eldest son Deng Silong is 28 years old this year and is still a bachelor, ranking first in the village's bachelor list.
Even in later generations, parents will urge marriage from time to time after the age of 28. In this era, if you are not married at 28, your parents are really anxious.
However, there is no point in hurrying. There are only two rooms in the house. Mrs. Changwen lives in one room with her two daughters, and her four sons live in one room. There is no extra room at all. If the eldest brother gets married, where will the other three sons live? ?
I don’t even have a place to live, and it’s just a dream to get a wife.
Chang Wen's wife was a little desperate at first. It wasn't until the news spread that Jiugong in Naye Village made thousands of yuan from growing watermelons last year that she regained her confidence and led her children to reclaim the mountains at home and plant them all this year. Watermelon was served.
If there is a good harvest of watermelons this year, the family will have money to build a house and their son will have the opportunity to marry a wife.
Therefore, during this period of time, Changwen's wife, who saw hope, felt much better.
…
"Sister-in-law Changwen (the title here has nothing to do with seniority. In Shuangwang locals, if seniority is difficult to address, the older woman is usually called so-and-so sister-in-law, and the younger woman is so-and-so sister), she is sewing clothes. !" When Deng Shirong came over, he saw Changwen's wife sitting at the door sewing clothes, so he said hello.
Mrs. Changwen looked up and quickly stood up to say hello: "Jiu Gong, why are you here?"
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "I came here to talk to you about something. Isn't your dragon, tiger and leopard at home?"
"They've all gone to the orchard!"
Mrs. Chang Wen picked up the chimney next to her and asked, "Jiu Gong, do you have any smoke to burn?"
Deng Shirong waved his hand and said, "I don't have a fever anymore. I just had a fever at home. I came here mainly to tell you that your dragon, tiger and leopard should learn to drive."
Mrs. Chang Wen said in surprise: "Let my dragon, tiger and leopard learn to drive?"
Deng Shirong didn't show off and said directly: "Yes, learn to drive. After they learn to drive, I will arrange for them to drive shuttle buses."
Mrs. Changwen's eyes widened when she heard this, and she said excitedly: "Mr. Jiu, did I hear you correctly? If my Aaron and his friends learn to drive, can they drive the shuttle bus?"
Being a driver among the eight major members is a very powerful profession in this era. Being able to drive a shuttle bus can be said to be the dream of many rural people.
If someone else had said this to her, she would definitely have laughed at him, but since it came from Jiu Gong's mouth, the credibility was very high. After all, what is Jiu Gong's identity? Maybe he came here specifically to play this kind of joke on her, which was why Mrs. Changwen was so excited.
Deng Shirong nodded and said: "Yes, as long as you learn to drive, you can arrange to drive a shuttle bus. You can ask your dragon, tiger and leopard to see if you are interested in becoming a driver. If so, come to my house in the afternoon and let me know. I arranged for them to go to the county town to learn how to drive.”
Mrs. Chang Wen was so excited that she immediately said, "Mr. Jiu, how could you not be interested in such a good thing? I can make the decision for them now."
"Okay, I'll include all three of them. You ask them to come to my house in the afternoon, and I'll tell them about learning to drive."
"Okay, thank you Jiu Gong."
…
After leaving Chang Wen's wife's house, Deng Shirong searched for several families in Hengmenkou Village. The families he found were all poor and had many brothers.
Although the possibility of encountering danger when the clan comes forward to form a passenger transport team is much lower than that of running a passenger transport individually, as the saying goes, it is better to be afraid of the worst than ten thousand, so he would choose a family with many brothers, so that even if something bad happens, he will still be safe. Just losing one of his sons will not lead to the end of the family.
It has to be said that drivers in this era are really popular. Basically, as soon as Deng Shirong mentions it, everyone he approaches will agree immediately, and without exception, they will be grateful to him.
Deng Shirong found a total of twenty people. Since the clan came forward to run the passenger transport, it would definitely not start with one or two shuttle buses.
According to his idea, there must be at least ten shuttle buses to start. After he has figured out this industry, he can continue to add more buses. Not to mention the long-distance shuttle buses that dominate the county, at least half of the country must be occupied, so that he can be employed in the upcoming part-time job. During the wave, get the most attractive first batch of passenger bonuses.
afternoon.
The twenty driver candidates Deng Shirong was looking for all came to his house to report.
Among these twenty people, their ages range from 20 to 35. There are middle-aged people who are married with children, and there are also young people who are unmarried.
They all have an obvious characteristic, that is, they are courageous and not afraid of trouble.
In this special era, you cannot choose a driver who is timid and afraid of getting into trouble. You must choose a driver who is bold and not afraid of getting into trouble.
