Chapter 403: Building a Night Market Street
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Baoshan Village.
Yan's father and mother and other guests began to say goodbye to the bride.
On the night of their daughter's wedding, it was not appropriate for parents to stay at the man's house overnight. Deng Shirong and others were also going back to Nanning, so they could just take a ride.
Yan's mother came to her daughter, took her hand, and said reluctantly: "Xiao Wen, I will go back with your father first. You and Xiao Shi live a good life. Don't be petty and don't bully Xiao Shi, understand?"
Yan Shuwen grabbed her mother's hand. When her parents were around, she didn't feel sad about getting married at all, but now her parents were going back to Guilin, and the sadness of parting with her parents suddenly surged into her heart.
She said with a forced smile: "Mom, look at what you said, how could I bully Brother Xiaoshi?"
Strict mother said: "In short, live a good life and don't let us worry, understand?"
Yan Shuwen's nose was a little sour, and she replied: "Mom, I know, don't worry!"
Strict father hesitated, and finally said only one sentence: "Xiaowen, bring Xiaoshi back to see us when you have time."
Yan Shuwen reached out and grabbed her father's hand, and said with red eyes: "Dad, I know, you and mom take good care of your health, I will go back to see you when I have time."
Other guests also came to say goodbye one by one. After the parents and relatives got on the car and left Baoshan Village, Yan Shuwen, who had always been strong, couldn't bear it anymore and wiped away tears quietly.
In later generations, it is said that it is the same to have a boy or a girl, but this can only deceive others, not yourself.
Let's not talk about anything else, just say that on the wedding day, the man's family is as lively as possible, and everyone is happy from top to bottom. The girl's family was deserted, and some parents even cried their eyes out because they couldn't bear to part with their daughters.
Having a boy or a girl is really different.
…
Around nine o'clock in the evening, Deng Shirong and others arrived at the central area of Nanning.
At this time, everyone was hungry, so they just found a night snack stall on the roadside and had a mediocre night snack.
In Nanning today, even the Zhongshan Road Night Market, which was famous throughout the country in later generations, has not yet appeared. There are only a few scattered night snack stalls in the whole Nanning, and there is no night market that is crowded with people according to the region like in later generations.
While eating the night snack, Deng Shirong suddenly had an idea in his mind, should he personally build a night market street as famous as Zhongshan Road?
Once this is successful, let alone other things, the rent alone can bring huge income every year.
In the future, Nanning Zhongshan Road Night Market, as one of the top ten famous food streets in the country, has been filmed in a food documentary. In it, a stall owner said that everyone who set up a stall to do business in Zhongshan Road Night Market has a net worth of millions.
Obviously, the best among them are definitely multi-millionaires.
You know, there are at least hundreds of bosses who set up stalls to do business in Zhongshan Road, which shows how terrifying this night market street is in attracting money.
The more he thought about it, the more excited Deng Shirong was.
To build such a night market street, Deng Shirong did not intend to let the Deng Group do it, but planned to invest himself. Anyway, he now has a lot of money in his hands, and he can get a lot of dividends from the Deng Group every year. It is indeed a bit of a waste to keep so much money in his hands and depreciate.
When this night market street is built, it can be handed over to his fourth son to operate and manage.
It is no problem for the fourth son to open a home appliance mall in Nanning, and he can also make a lot of money, but with his ability, it is impossible for him to turn this home appliance mall into a giant like Suning.
He has five sons, and the eldest son has a chain of supermarkets, which has a big enough development prospect.
The second and third sons are both in politics, and it is impossible for them to get involved in business.
And the youngest son has also set his ambition to be a doctor, and it is estimated that he will not do business.
Then there is only the fourth son left, and we can't let him guard a home appliance mall, right?
Although he can enter the Internet cafe in a few years, it takes only about 20 years for Internet cafes to rise and fall, and only about 10 years at the peak.
This can only be used to make some quick money, and there is no way to do it as a long-term business.
And if this night market street is well managed, it can continue to be carried on, even if it is passed down for a hundred or more decades, it is not surprising.
After all, food is an indispensable thing in any era. Besides, even if this night market street cannot be run in the future, it can be transformed into other things. As long as the location of this street is good and in an area with high passenger flow, there is no need to worry about these shops not being able to be rented out.
In short, building shops and collecting rent is definitely a profitable business.
Thinking of this, Deng Shirong decided to choose a good place and work hard to make this night market street better.
…
After eating supper, Deng Shirong took Yan's father, Yan's mother and Yan's relatives back to Wuyue Square.
When they went up to the fifth floor and saw the super luxury house, Yan's father and mother were stunned.
As for this luxury house in Wuyue Square, Yan's father and mother had heard about it from their son-in-law Bu Xiaoshi. When Bu Xiaoshi told them, he really used all the words of praise to praise it, describing this super luxury house as more beautiful than the ancient imperial palace.
At that time, although Yan's father and mother did not believe their son-in-law's praise, they also knew that the luxury house that could make their son-in-law praise it so much must be very beautiful.
However, what they never expected was that she would be so beautiful.
The son-in-law's uncle is indeed a multi-millionaire, so awesome!
Even the mentally prepared Yan's father and Yan's mother were shocked, but the other relatives of the Yan family were not mentally prepared at all. When they suddenly saw this luxurious mansion, they were so shocked that their eyes were straight and they were completely afraid. I believe the house can still be decorated like this.
That night, because of the stimulation of this super mansion, the strict father and strict mother had no time to grieve about their daughter's marriage. The couple kept talking about their son-in-law's uncle, and they talked for a long time before falling asleep.
…
The next day.
After breakfast, Yan's father, Yan's mother and relatives who came to see him off said farewell to Deng Shirong.
Father Yan smiled and said: "Uncle, thank you for your hospitality, then we will go back first!"
Deng Shirong persuaded him to stay: "Relatives, it's rare for you to come here once, so just stay in Nanning for a few more days. Anyway, it's convenient for me to have food and accommodation here."
Yan's mother smiled and answered: "Thank you, uncle, but Xiaowen left the clothing store to us to run. It's not good for the clothing store to be closed all the time. We have to go back early. When will uncle come to Guilin again? Let's have a good time." to entertain you.”
Deng Shirong nodded and said: "Okay, if that's the case, then I won't keep you. Guilin's landscapes are the best in the world. I only saw part of them last time. There are still many scenery that I haven't had time to see. I will definitely go there again if I have the opportunity." Yes, I will inevitably trouble you."
Father Yan said with a smile on his face: "No trouble, it is our honor to have the opportunity to entertain uncle."
After a polite exchange between the two parties, Deng Shirong sent the Yan family to the station and watched them leave in the car. Then he drove his motorcycle around the city center, looking for a suitable location for building a night market street.
In fact, the location of Zhongshan Road is quite suitable. Later development has proved that it is indeed suitable to be turned into a night market street. However, there are many old houses on Zhongshan Road. If you pay to buy them all and then demolish and rebuild them, it will take a lot of time and money. I'm afraid it will exceed imagination. It is better to choose a suitable place and create a brand new night market street from scratch.
After wandering around for a long time, Deng Shirong finally settled on an area that had not yet been fully developed. This area was between Chaoyang Road and Gonghe Road. It was also a relatively popular area in later generations, but it was only the early 1990s and this area belonged to the city center. On the edge of the area, there are only a few old buildings scattered here and there.
After looking at the location, Deng Shirong rode his motorcycle back to Wuyue Square.
…
afternoon.
Chen Donglai and his wife were invited to their niece's home with carefully selected gifts.
As soon as she entered the door, Gu Caiwei smiled and said hello: "Uncle, aunt, you are here, come in and sit down."
Mrs. Chen handed the gift in her hand to her husband, took Gu Caiwei's hand and asked, "Weiwei, how is your health lately? This early stage of pregnancy is a bit rough. Are you feeling nauseous and unable to eat?"
Gu Caiwei smiled and said, "Thank you, aunt, for your concern. I struggled a little bit some time ago, and now my appetite has improved. I can eat and sleep every day, and my health is good!"
Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "Then I'll be relieved."
While Mrs. Chen was chatting with Gu Caiwei, Chen Donglai and Deng Shirong greeted each other and then placed the gifts on the table next to them.
The two of them greeted each other politely, and the eldest daughter-in-law also brought the brewed tea. Deng Shirong took a sip of tea and then got down to business: "Uncle (in Bobai, the father-in-law and mother-in-law together with the daughter-in-law call the elder of her natal family. Ji Cao), I invite you over for dinner this time. I want to ask you something. "
Chen Donglai said: "Uncle Jiu, if you have anything to do, just ask, I will tell you everything I know."
Deng Shirong said: "That's it. I want to build a food street in Nanning. It is located between Chaoyang Road and Gonghe Road. It is about 1,500 meters long and 100 meters wide. I want to buy the land there. Coming down, I wonder if it will be difficult?”
Chen Donglai was shocked when he heard this. Although he already knew the financial resources of the Deng family, he was still very shocked by his niece's father-in-law's handiwork.
Even though land in Nanning is not expensive in this era, the amount of land required to buy this equivalent to more than two hundred acres is still astronomical.
"Uncle Jiu, the city has always been very cautious about the sale of state-owned land use rights. If you want to buy the land, you don't have to have money. You also need to come up with a development plan that can convince the leaders. Otherwise, the sale will be difficult. successful."
Chen Donglai took a sip of tea, considered it and said, "Uncle Jiu, you said you want to build a food street. This idea is quite novel, but I don't know what role this food street can play in the development of the city?"
Deng Shirong had dealt with the leaders a few years ago and bought the 30 acres of land in Wuyue Plaza. Naturally, he knew that the local government now controls the land very strictly. It is not something that anyone with money can buy if they want. The main reason is that in this era, there are still There is a debate about the surname of capital and the surname of commune. Local leaders may not dare to take this risk.
If he hadn't proposed the concept of supermarket and impressed the leaders, it would not have been easy for him to win this piece of land.
Although several years have passed, those who support reform have gained the absolute upper hand, but there are still many leaders of the old school who still have great resistance to the sale of state-owned land use rights. It was not until Deng Gong gave a speech during his southern tour that this This resistance was completely suppressed.
It is now more than a year before Deng Gong's southern tour. If you want to get the land you like, you must come up with words that can convince the leaders.
Deng Shirong replied: "The food street I built is to bring together famous snacks from all over the country. I want to make it a nationally famous snack street. Once it is completed, it will be equivalent to a business card of Nanning."
Moreover, having hundreds of self-employed people doing business on one street is convenient for management and can also bring a lot of tax revenue to the city. This is a good thing that kills three birds with one stone. I think leaders should support it. "
Chen Donglai said: "Uncle Jiu, I will report this matter to the leader when I get back and see what the leader has to say."
Deng Shirong nodded and said: "Okay, then you should first explore the leader's tone. If the leader thinks it is feasible, then continue the discussion. If the leader thinks it is not feasible, then forget it."
Anyway, there is only more than a year left before Deng Gong's southern tour. If the leaders don't agree now, then we can talk about it in more than a year. By then, I believe there will be no resistance to the purchase of land.
And if he remembered correctly, the night market on Zhongshan Road didn’t take shape until the late 1990s.
There is still plenty of time left for him.
As long as we take the lead in building a night market street before the formation of Zhongshan Road Night Market and achieve scale effects, we can seize the lead. Whether there will be a Zhongshan Road Night Market will be a big question mark.
Chen Donglai smiled and said: "Uncle Jiu, you still have the status of chairman of Deng Group. I believe that the leader will carefully consider your idea."
Deng Shirong said: "Anyway, there is no need to worry about this matter. If the leader has any objections, let it go for a while and talk about it in two years."
"Well, I understand what you mean, I won't be in a hurry."
"Okay, it's getting late. Let's go downstairs and have hot pot."
…
Three days later.
Chen Donglai brought good news to Deng Shirong. The official agreed to sell him more than two hundred acres of land.
Deng Shirong was very happy to hear this. Although the land is not for sale now, it will be sold in a year or two. Buying it then will not affect his ability to build a night market street, but it is always a good thing to get the land earlier.
After final negotiation, Deng Shirong bought 222 acres of land at a price of 88 yuan per square meter, spending a total of just over 13 million.
Deng Shirong is extremely satisfied with this transaction. When he bought the 30 acres of land in Wuyue Plaza six years ago, the price was 66 yuan per square meter. Now six years later, the price has increased to 22 yuan per square meter, which is very reasonable. of.
After buying the land, Deng Shirong immediately came to Nanning Architectural Design Institute, naturally looking for Dean Huang, who he often dealt with.
After the two parties said hello and drank two sips of tea, they started talking about business.
Dean Huang was the first to smile and said: "Boss Deng, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. I wonder if you have any business to take care of us this time?"
Deng Shirong smiled and said: "Dean Huang, I really have a business for you."
Dean Huang perked up after hearing this: "Boss Deng, please tell me what kind of business it is."
Deng Shirong said: "I bought a long piece of land between Chaoyang Road and Gonghe Road. It is about 1,500 meters long and about 100 meters wide. I plan to use it to build a night market street. I would like to ask for your help. design."
Dean Huang said in surprise: "Building a night market street?"
Deng Shirong nodded and said, "Yes, it is a night market street that specializes in night business. My idea is to gather famous snacks from all over the country on this night market street and create a nationally famous snack street."
Dean Huang said excitedly: "Boss Deng, you have a great idea. What kind of design style do you want?"
Deng Shirong said: "We still follow the ancient style design. I want to make this street unknown during the day and the most dazzling pearl in Guangxi at night."
In the future, Zhongshan Road will become one of the top ten snack streets in the country, which is enough to prove that Guangxi people are ranked first in the country in terms of eating.
Just a spontaneously formed snack street can reach this level. Now Deng Shirong has the consciousness to build a nationally famous snack street. If the development is not as good as this messy Zhongshan Road Night Market, he will never believe it.
Deng Shirong also carefully considered the idea of making the snack street into an ancient style. Compared with modern buildings, buildings with ancient elements as the core and built with modern craftsmanship are of course more beautiful and charming.
Dean Huang heard the cheers and said excitedly: "Boss Deng, I took this job. I don't know if it's convenient now. I want to go to the site to have a look immediately."
Deng Shirong laughed and said: "Of course it's convenient, Dean Huang, please!"
"please!"
…
Twenty minutes later.
Deng Shirong brought Dean Huang and his assistant to the scene, pointed to the land in front of him and said: "Dean Huang, this is it, from here all the way to Gonghe Road in front."
Dean Huang nodded, and then walked through it with his assistant from beginning to end. The assistant was responsible for measuring and recording various data.
After walking around, Dean Huang asked: "Boss Deng, do you plan to build these buildings into independent buildings, or do you plan to directly connect them together?"
Deng Shirong did not answer and asked instead: "Dean Huang, do you think the independent buildings are more beautiful, or the buildings connected together are more beautiful?"
Dean Huang said: "Each of these has its own advantages and disadvantages. If you want to save money and trouble, just connect them together. If you are not afraid of spending money and want to be more personalized, just build them one by one. Of course, you can also combine the two. , that is, some of the shops can be connected together, and some important shops can be built separately. What do you think, Boss Deng? "
Deng Shirong nodded and said: "Then combine the two!"
Dean Huang said: "Okay, then let's go back and discuss this design plan in detail."
…
Wuyue Square.
Seeing Deng Shirong coming back, Deng Yunzhu greeted him: "Dad, Uncle Zhou called before and said that he had found a suitable store for opening a hot pot restaurant. If we have time, we can go to Guangzhou to see if we are satisfied. "
Deng Shirong smiled and said: "It's hard to find a shop with a large area and a good location. Lao Zhou can find it so quickly. It seems that his family is quite concerned about this matter."
Deng Yunzhu asked: "Dad, should we go and take a look?"
"Of course I have to go. I'll call Lao Zhou back soon and pick a time to go and have a look."
Having said this, Deng Shirong looked at his youngest daughter and said, "Azhu, tell the truth, are you interested in Haidong this week?"
Hearing this, Deng Yunzhu said a little shyly: "Dad, I have only met him once, and the time of contact with him is still short. How do you want me to answer this question?"
Deng Shirong said: "That's right. Although Dad thinks he is good, he still needs to contact him a few more times before making a decision."
Deng Yunzhu asked: "Dad, my second branch in Nanning hasn't been completed yet. Now I have to go to Guangzhou to open a branch. I'm afraid I'm a little busy!"
Deng Shirong said: "As a boss, what you need to do is not to do it yourself, but to direct the people under you to work. If you have to do everything yourself, then it will take years and months for your hot pot chain to truly develop!"
Deng Yunzhu said: "I understand this truth, but I don't have a truly capable general under my command."
Deng Shirong said: "If you are short of manpower, just recruit. I know you want your good classmate to come back to help you after graduation. You can keep the position of general manager for her. It's okay to recruit a few deputies first and use it!" "
Deng Yunzhu nodded and said: "Okay, I understand. It's mainly people recruited from outside. I always feel a little bit untrustworthy. The main reason is that the management system has not been perfected. When my classmate graduates next year, she can be asked to improve the management." System, employees can use it with confidence.”
Deng Shirong said: "They say that you have to live and learn. How to manage a chain hot pot restaurant well is worth learning. As long as you study hard, you will always gain something."
Deng Yunzhu said: "Well, I will study hard."
…
A family hospital in Wuhan.
While having breakfast, Gu's mother said, "Lao Gu, Weiwei is more than three months pregnant now. I want to see her."
Father Gu hummed: "It's time to go and see it, but I can't spare the time. You call Xiaoxiao and ask her to go with you!"
Gu's mother nodded and said, "I'll call Xiaoxiao soon. We may stay a little longer this time. You have to take care of yourself at home."
Gu's father said: "Don't worry, I'm not a child. I'll ask Secretary Ge to book air tickets for you later."
Gu’s mother: “Yeah!”
After Gu's father went out to work, Gu's mother called her eldest daughter.
The call was answered by the mother-in-law. After a few polite words from both parties, the call was turned to the eldest daughter.
Gu Caixiao asked: "Mom, what's the matter with calling so early?"
Gu's mother said, "That's right. Weiwei has been pregnant for more than three months. I want to see her. Do you want to come with me?"
Gu Caixiao perked up after hearing this and said quickly: "Mom, count me in."
Gu's mother smiled and said, "Okay, then you can pack your luggage and come over in the car. Your dad has already asked Secretary Ge to buy our air tickets."
Gu Caixiao said happily: "Okay, then I'll pack my luggage first and call you when I go out."
"That's it for now. I'll call Weiwei to say hello."
"Um!"
