Chapter 543: Grand Conclusion (Part 2)

As he walked, he unconsciously arrived at the Pottery Factory.

This Pottery Factory was a venture he had started with Deng YunGui, the place where they truly began to make their fortune.

In the previous life, Deng YunGui had passed away in the early 21st century. In this life, with Deng Shirong's reminders and regular health check-ups, his life was extended, but he still passed away about seven or eight years ago, living to the age of eighty-seven, which was satisfying enough.

The Pottery Factory had been closed for many years, but with the rise of Naye Film City, more tourists started visiting, and the recent surge in live streaming, countless streamers began broadcasting from here.

the time.

Therefore, Deng Shirong decided to reopen the Pottery Factory, not for profit, but to promote these traditional old crafts.

When he had free time, he would come here to experience the hard work of making large pottery pieces.

At that moment, Deng Shirong's disciple was leading his students and their students in making large pottery pieces, and several internet celebrities were live streaming beside them. This was why they were willing to do such hard work even though they were not short of money.

.

Doing such hard work in the past was a necessity for a living, but now they did it out of interest, which was a completely different experience.

.

Especially now, as they made large pottery pieces, tens of thousands of people were watching online, and most of them were giving them thumbs up, which greatly boosted their enthusiasm. all. After all, who doesn't like to have their skills praised?

Deng Shirong glanced from a distance and then smiled as he left, not wanting to disturb them.

.

Next, Deng Shirong wandered around the village. leisurely. Nowadays, Naye Village was no different from a true city center, and in some aspects, it was even more prosperous than the downtown areas of many second-tier cities. all. After all, this was the nation's first village, and the poorest family's assets would not be less than a billion. How could it possibly be any less prosperous?

!

While wandering around the village, out of every ten people Deng Shirong met, at least seven or eight were outsiders, and the number of outsiders far outnumbered the locals.

.

After a walk around the village, Deng Shirong returned to his villa and began to review his assets.

However, such a situation did not occur in Naye Village.

Under Deng Shirong's leadership, Naye Village had undergone a tremendous transformation over the years, but the one thing that remained unchanged was the festive atmosphere during the New Year, which was always as vibrant as ever.

After entering the 20th day of the 12th lunar month, the Naye Deng Clan began to get busy. Every household started preparing New Year goods, offering sacrifices to various deities, and making all kinds of rice cakes.

It's worth noting that nowadays, making sweet rice cakes no longer requires the purely manual labor of the past. Machines have taken over, and the sweet rice cakes made by these machines are chewy and have a fantastic taste. The hand-made sweet rice cakes, on the other hand, are only superior in the crispy bottom, with everything else being less remarkable.

At this moment, Deng Shirong was making sweet rice cakes. The sweet rice cakes had already been prepared by the machine and were now in several large stainless steel basins. They were still a bit hot to the touch, and he needed to mix in the roasted and peeled peanuts while the cakes were still warm, then pack them into small plastic bags.

After these sweet rice cakes were packed, they would be completely cooled and then stored in the freezer.

This way, when they wanted to eat them later, they could simply take them out of the freezer, thaw them, and the chewy texture would still be maintained.

Of course, Deng Shirong had the System Space, which was a hundred times more convenient than a freezer. Whatever he put in, it would come out in the same condition. Storing the sweet rice cakes in the System Space was the best option.

However, he also needed to put some in the freezer to avoid arousing suspicion.

While it would take others several hours to pack several basins of sweet rice cakes, Deng Shirong, using the System Space's mental control, finished the task in less than a minute.

Deng Shirong didn't need to prepare New Year goods himself; his System Space had an abundance of all kinds of ingredients.

By the time Deng Shirong finished making the sweet rice cakes, his children and grandchildren had started returning home for the New Year.

By the 26th day of the 12th lunar month, all his children and grandchildren had returned except for his second and third sons' families.

On the 27th, Deng Shirong presided over the annual clan meeting, and all the aunts and sisters returned to participate.

The annual clan meeting was largely the same every year. First, he would award scholarships to outstanding students, then distribute dividends to the aunts and sisters, and finally, distribute dividends to the clan members. After completing all these tasks, he would announce the end of the meeting.

The annual clan meeting of the Naye Deng Clan had undergone several changes over the years.

Initially, it was attended only by the Naye Deng Clan members, but as their reputation spread, villagers from surrounding areas would come to watch and join in the festivities. Now, the influence of the Naye Deng Clan's annual meeting has spread nationwide.

In recent years, many internet celebrities and even stars have personally attended the event.

Of course, live streaming on-site was not allowed, and even taking photos required approval. In particular, photos of Deng Shirong, the clan head, were not allowed to be circulated.

After the annual clan meeting, on the 28th, his third son's family also returned.

His second son's family returned on New Year's Eve.

With everyone finally together, the house was filled with people, showcasing the prosperity of the Deng family.

Here, it's necessary to mention how many children and grandchildren Deng Shirong has now.

First, from his eldest son's lineage, Xiaodong'er is not married.

Dongzi, on the other hand, has been quite successful, having three children—two boys and one girl—a very complete and happy family.

From his second son's lineage, Deng Changmao did not follow his father into politics but chose the path of a scientific researcher. He successfully won the Fields Medal two years ago, becoming one of the top mathematicians in the country and gaining considerable international influence.

Deng Changmao's wife is also remarkable, coming from a scholarly family. Her family can be described with a famous line from "The Flying Dagger of Xiaoli": "Seven professors in one family, three academicians in one generation."

Deng Changmao has one son and one daughter, living a happy and fulfilling life.

From his third son's lineage, Deng Changding followed in his parents' footsteps and is currently a promising political star.

Deng Changding's wife is also impressive. Given their family background and his own capabilities, the woman he chose must be exceptional. Her family background is not mentioned, but she herself is an associate professor at a 985 University, a very outstanding individual.

They have one son.

From his fourth son's lineage, Deng Changhai, perhaps influenced by his surroundings, developed an interest in directing. He graduated from the Beijing Film Academy's Directing Department and, with the support of his family's resources, has directed four movies to date, all of which have performed well at the box office. He has successfully become a rising star in the directorial circle and is thriving in the entertainment industry.

His wife is a wealthy and beautiful woman from a family with assets in the billions.

The couple currently has a daughter and plans to have a second child after they recover their health.

His younger brother, Deng Changce, started his own business with the ten billion yuan startup capital provided by his mother and is currently single.

From his youngest son's lineage, Deng Changquan graduated from Harbin Institute of Technology, one of the seven national defense universities, and embarked on a research career. He is currently single.

Deng Changmou chose a career in politics after graduating from university and is also currently single.

Regarding his eldest daughter's family, his grandson Zhu Shiba chose a military career.

His wife is a member of an arts troupe.

They have two sons.

From his youngest daughter's family, Zhou Wenbin was known as a playboy in his youth, changing girlfriends as frequently as changing clothes. Only in the past couple of years has his character stabilized, and he married a beautiful woman from a modest background. They currently have one son.

During the New Year's Eve dinner, as it was a large gathering with many nephews and grand-nephews, Deng Shirong did not mention the issue of dividing the family.

After the dinner, when the nephews and grand-nephews returned to their homes, Deng Shirong gathered his children and grandchildren and said, "I called all of you back for the New Year to announce a significant matter.

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

As the eldest son, Deng Yuntai was the first to speak up, "Dad, if there's something important to announce, just say it!"

Deng Shirong didn't beat around the bush and directly said, "After the New Year, I'll be eighty-eight years old. At my age, I could go anytime, and our family has yet to clearly divide the assets. Since everyone is gathered this year, I plan to divide the family assets to avoid any disputes after I'm gone."

"Dad, it's the New Year, don't say such inauspicious things."

"Father, you're in such good health, you'll live to be a hundred."

"Grandpa, you can punch a bull to death with one punch, you don't have to worry about anything for the next twenty years."

"Grandpa..."

Upon hearing Deng Shirong's words, his sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, and their spouses all spoke up.

"None of us are immortal, and death is inevitable. There's no need to say more. While I'm still clear-headed, I'll divide the family assets. From now on, you'll have to manage the business on your own."

At this, Deng Shirong looked at his eldest son and daughter-in-law and said, "Yuntai, Apingmei, the Yongjia Group may have started with me, but both of you have put in a lot of effort to bring it to where it is today. From now on, the Yongjia Group is officially yours."

"Thank you, Dad!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Deng Yuntai and Zhang Xiuping exchanged a glance and both expressed their gratitude.

Deng Shirong continued, "Additionally, I'll give you 25% of JD.com shares. This will allow you to push for a strategic partnership between the Yongjia Group and JD.com, providing new impetus for the Yongjia Group's development."

Deng Yuntai and Zhang Xiuping were both shocked upon hearing this.

Deng Yuntai shook his head repeatedly, "Dad, you should give the JD.com shares to Yunheng or Yunsong. I have the Yongjia Group, that's enough."

"Take it and keep it. I have plans for Yunheng and Yunsong."

Deng Shirong then looked at his only granddaughter with a loving expression and said, "Dong'er, you've been the chairman of the Deng Group for a long time, but I haven't given you any shares. Now, I'm giving you 5% of the Deng Group's shares. From now on, you'll be the largest shareholder of the Deng Group. I hope you'll continue to lead the group to greater heights."

In the Deng Group, Deng Shirong, as the largest shareholder, owned 13.71% of the shares. Giving 5% to his granddaughter already exceeded one-third.

Dong'er was taken aback and said, "Grandpa, you don't need to give me so many shares. One percent would be more than enough."

Deng Yuntai couldn't help but speak up, as he felt his father had given them too much. Although he was the eldest son, the amount they received was overwhelming. He quickly said, "Dad, having the Yongjia Group is enough for us. You've already given us JD.com shares, and now you're giving so many shares to Dong'er. This is really too much!"

Deng Yunheng smiled, "Brother, Father must have his reasons for this arrangement. Don't refuse it!"

Deng Yunsong also chimed in, "That's right, Brother. As the eldest son, you should inherit the family business according to tradition. Take it with peace of mind."

The other siblings also echoed their agreement, all urging their brother to accept the shares without any insincerity.

Seeing this, Deng Shirong felt deeply content. While he couldn't guarantee that the daughters-in-law or granddaughters-in-law had no thoughts of their own, his seven children were genuinely united and didn't care about their own gains and losses.

Deng Shirong happily waved his hand, "Yuntai, don't worry. I have arrangements for everyone. Dong'er, don't say more. Just take the shares."

With that said, Dong'er could only nod reluctantly, "Thank you, Grandpa!"

Deng Shirong then looked at Dongzi and said, "Dongzi, you are your parents' only son. You or your children will inherit the Yongjia Group and JD.com shares in the future. So, Grandpa won't give you other shares. Instead, I'll give you the Qidian website."

Dongzi was shocked, "Grandpa, you're giving me the Qidian website?"

The Qidian website is the most prominent online literature platform in the industry. While it's far from the scale of the Deng Group, its value is still in the tens of billions. For Grandpa to give it to him so casually, anyone would be stunned.

Deng Shirong smiled, "As the most famous writer in the online literature world, I acquired the Qidian website to pave the way for you. It's the most suitable for you to have it."

Dongzi, hearing this, no longer hesitated and excitedly said, "Thank you, Grandpa."

Shen Xianglan, listening from the side, was nearly ecstatic. The Yongjia Group, 25% of JD.com shares, and the Qidian website—all of these would be theirs.

Moreover, her sister-in-law had 5% of the Deng Group's shares. Since her sister-in-law had no plans to marry, her shares would likely be inherited by their children in the future, making their family's wealth soar.

Deng Shirong then looked at his second son's family and said, "Yunheng, your position means you can't engage in business. However, I've already prepared your share. 2% of the Deng Group's shares, 25% of Tencent's shares, 5% of Huawei's shares, and 20% of SF Express's shares will be registered under Along's name. There shouldn't be any issues with that."

Deng Yunheng and Gu Caiwei exchanged a glance and then thanked him together, "Thank you, Dad!"

The others, upon hearing this, all drew in a sharp breath, clearly not expecting their father (grandfather) to hold so many shares in major companies.

Deng Shirong ignored their shock and looked at his third son's family, "Yunsong, your share is the same. I've already prepared it for you. 2% of the Deng Group's shares, 25% of Alibaba's shares, 10% of Xiaomi's shares, and 10% of Pinduoduo's shares will be registered under Aiding's name."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. How much unknown assets did their father (grandfather) actually own?

"Thank you, Dad!"

Deng Yunsong and Pei Qinghua also expressed their gratitude with joy.

Their status and position didn't really depend on these external possessions, but their children and grandchildren did.

Deng Shirong then looked at his fourth son's family and said, "Yunhua, you and your wife already own a considerable number of businesses. I'm formally giving you the Nanning Snack Street, along with 2% of the Deng Group's shares, 25% of Baidu's shares, 5% of Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL)'s shares, and 5% of Moutai's shares."

Everyone was thoroughly stunned at this point, overwhelmed by the magnitude of the gifts.

"Thank you, Dad!"

Deng Yunhua and Fan Yuemei were also moved and expressed their gratitude.

Deng Shirong then looked at his youngest son's family and said, "Xiaoheng, you and your wife started late, and so far, you only have the Bianbian Milk Tea business. I'm giving you 2.71% of the Deng Group's shares, 20% of NetEase's shares, 10% of ByteDance's shares, and 15% of Meituan's shares."

Upon hearing this, Deng Yunheng and Feng Yingying were also taken aback and excitedly thanked him, "Thank you, Dad!"

Deng Shirong then turned to his eldest daughter's family and said, "Yunzhen, I've prepared 10% of ZTE's shares, 10% of Sina's shares, 5% of Wanda's shares, and 5% of DIDI's shares for you."

"Thank you, Dad!"

Deng Yunzhen and Zhu Junjie also expressed their gratitude with joy.

Deng Shirong then looked at his youngest daughter's family and said, "Yunzhu, I've prepared 10% of Ele.me's shares, 10% of Kuaishou's shares, 10% of YTO Express's shares, and 10% of Juewei's shares for you."

"Thank you, Dad!"

Deng Yunzhu and Zhou Haidong were also extremely excited and thanked him.

After distributing the shares to his children, Deng Shirong said, "The shares I've given to the seven of you vary in value, but they all belong to well-operated companies. With these shares, even if you do nothing, you can still live a life of unimaginable wealth and luxury just by waiting for the annual dividends.

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

Now, there's a popular saying online: 'Wealth does not last beyond three generations.' While I've left you a lot of wealth, it's unrealistic to expect it to last forever. There will always be some descendants who will squander the family fortune.

Therefore, to give future generations a chance to rise again, I've built a secret treasure vault. Inside, I've stored a significant amount of gold, jewelry, antiques, paintings, and rare woods. I won't tell you the exact value.

This treasure vault is meant to give future generations a chance to rise again. The vault has five doors, and it requires five keys and five passwords to open. Each of you five brothers will hold one key and one password, which should be passed down through generations.

You five can decide when to use the wealth in the vault."

Everyone was speechless.

This moment would be unforgettable for the rest of their lives.

Especially for Deng Shirong's seven children, who had watched their father build the massive Deng Group from scratch and helped them start their own businesses, leading them to great success.

But they never imagined that what they saw was just the tip of the iceberg. Their father had invested in so many top-tier companies, all of which were famous in China. His investment acumen was unmatched in the world.

"Father, you are really too humble. If the wealth you hold were made public, even several world billionaires combined wouldn't be able to match you."

"That's right. The combined value of these shares is astronomical."

"Grandpa is truly amazing!"

"..."

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

When he first reincarnated, he never thought he would achieve such greatness, nor did he have the confidence to do so.

Everything changed from the day he was elected as the clan head. Initially, he just wanted to help the clan members become prosperous, but as things progressed, his business grew unexpectedly large.

While the adults were excited about the shares, Dongzi's five-year-old daughter asked in a sweet voice, "Mom, it's New Year's Eve today. Shouldn't you give me a New Year's red envelope?"

This immediately drew everyone's attention back.

The adults then happily gave red envelopes to the children, who were all delighted.

Deng Shirong also gave red envelopes to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The great-grandchildren received normal red envelopes, while the grandchildren received a special gift: he took out ten sheets of Monkey Stamps, which he distributed as red envelopes.

Eight of these sheets were bought in the capital city a long time ago, and the other two were acquired later. The purpose was to ensure everyone received an equal share. Ten sheets of Monkey Stamps were just enough for each grandchild and great-grandchild.

Deng Shirong's ten grandchildren were all knowledgeable and were extremely happy to receive the Monkey Stamps. They immediately started taking photos and posting them on social media to show off.

After all, it's rare for people in their thirties and forties to still receive red envelopes from their grandfather, and to receive a sheet of Monkey Stamps as a red envelope is even rarer. Their social media posts naturally drew countless envious comments.

At midnight, fireworks and firecrackers lit up the sky over Naye Village. The area within ten miles was as bright as day, and the fireworks show lasted for a full hour. Many internet celebrities live-streamed this moment, and the spectacular fireworks earned cheers from the entire nation. This scene had been a tradition for many years.

After watching the fireworks, Deng Shirong's face showed a look of satisfaction.

This life was not in vain.

...

The End!
