Reborn in 1985: From Selling Braised Duck to Becoming the World's Richest Man

"Boss, let's talk on the way."

Li Cui said somewhat anxiously.

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming also felt it wasn't appropriate to leave Qin Fang there alone, and nodded in agreement.

Along the way, Liang Ming learned the whole story from Li Cui.

Half an hour ago, it was the time when the county middle school let out for the morning, when the flow of people was at its peak.

In front of Liang Heiya's braised duck shop, customers are lining up in a long queue, ready to buy braised duck.

Unexpectedly, a group of people suddenly appeared.

The leader clutched his stomach and said that he had an upset stomach after eating Liang Heiya and demanded an explanation from Qin Fang and the others.

But when that group of people arrived, Liang Heiya had just opened its shop and hadn't sold many braised ducks yet. How could the other party have gotten a stomachache from eating their braised ducks?

The two sides got into an argument, and things escalated.

Customers around the area stopped buying braised duck and instead gathered around to watch the spectacle.

"If this matter is not resolved properly today, it will have a significant impact on the brand reputation of Liang Hei Ya."

Liang Ming frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.

As they spoke, the two arrived at the entrance of the county middle school.

"Your braised duck has hygiene problems. Call your boss over right now. If you don't compensate me today, I'll smash up your shop."

As soon as they arrived, they saw a large crowd gathered three layers deep at the entrance of Liang Heiya's restaurant, and they could also hear a sharp, angry shout.

Liang Ming and Li Cui squeezed into the crowd and saw Qin Fang and several employees of the braised duck shop being eyed by a group of menacing-looking thugs.

"Qin Fang, are you alright?" Liang Ming walked to Qin Fang's side and asked with concern.

No matter what happens, your first priority should be to care about your employees.

"Boss, I'm fine, they're just being unreasonable..."

Qin Fang shook her head, then pointed to the group of people and told Liang Ming what had happened.

What she said was almost identical to what Li Cui had told Liang Ming on the way.

"I know everything. Leave the rest to me," Liang Ming reassured Qin Fang.

Hearing Liang Ming's calm and confident voice, Qin Fang's panic disappeared.

"Are you the owner of this Liang Hei Ya braised duck shop?"

At this moment, the leader of the group, a burly man with a buzz cut, spoke up arrogantly.

"My name is Liang Ming, and I'm the owner of this braised duck shop. If you have any questions, you can tell me."

Liang Ming spoke calmly.

"As long as you're the boss, I can get away with this. I bought braised duck from your shop, and less than half an hour after eating it, I got diarrhea."

"Your braised duck definitely has quality problems. Quickly compensate me for medical expenses and nutritional supplements!"

The burly man with the buzz cut clutched his stomach, pretending to be in great pain, and said...

Upon hearing the burly man's words, Liang Ming chuckled and said, "You mean, you bought braised duck from our shop at least half an hour ago, and got diarrhea immediately after eating it?"

“That’s right!” said the burly man with the buzz cut.

Upon hearing this, the parents and customers watching all had rather strange expressions.

"Are you sure it's our Liang Hei Ya braised duck? Do you have any proof?" Liang Ming asked again.

"What do you mean? Are you trying to renege on your debt?"

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, the burly man with the buzz cut frowned and said...

"I won't renege on my debt, but I need to find out if you bought the braised duck from Liang Hei Ya, don't you think so?"

Liang Ming chuckled.

"If it's not your family, then whose family could it be?"

The burly man with the buzz cut said menacingly:

"Enough with the nonsense, pay up now, or I'll smash up your shop."

Seeing that the burly man with the buzz cut was still stubborn, Liang Ming shook his head, then cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to the surrounding customers and said:

"Brothers and sisters, I believe you all heard what this person just said clearly."

"I hope you can provide me with a certificate, so that he won't deny it later."

The surrounding customers, upon hearing the buzz-cut man's words, all understood perfectly and nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, Mr. Liang, we'll be your witnesses."

"Yes, the kids haven't gotten out of school yet, so we have time."

Hearing the comments from the surrounding customers, Liang Ming smiled and said:

"I wonder if any of you have time to go to the security office of the First Middle School and ask them to send a few people over."

As soon as Liang Ming said this, a kind-hearted man immediately went to call for help.

In those days, state-owned enterprises and schools had security departments or security offices, all of which were equipped with firearms and had similar powers to local police stations, and were under the management of the police system.

Therefore, when ordinary people encounter problems, in addition to seeking help from the local police station, they will also seek help from the nearest police station.

"What do you want with the school security office?"

When the burly man with the buzz cut saw that Liang Ming wanted to find someone from the school's security office, a look of panic appeared on his face, and he said...

“You brought people to slander my Liang Hei Ya brand and even tried to smash my store and destroy my personal property. Naturally, I have to ask someone to uphold justice.”

Liang Ming said in a calm tone.

As they were talking, several security guards from the middle school's security office arrived, carrying guns.

"Who dares to cause trouble at the school gate? Do they have a death wish?"

Zhou Quan, from the security department of the county's No. 1 Middle School, said with an unfriendly expression.

It was almost time for school to let out, and if something happened at the school gate at this time, he would have a hard time explaining it to the school leaders.

"Captain Zhou, hello, I'm Liang Ming, the owner of Liang Heiya braised duck shop near the school gate. The thing is..."

Liang Ming approached Zhou Quan and recounted in detail how the burly man with the buzz cut and his men had tried to extort money from him and vandalize his shop.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Quan looked at the burly man with the buzz cut and immediately recognized him: "Da Hu, it's you again. You've been causing a lot of trouble lately. Do you really want to go to jail?"

This "Big Tiger" was the local thug leader, with seven or eight brothers under his command. He usually liked to bully men and women.

"Captain Zhou, I'm innocent! It was this unscrupulous merchant's braised duck shop that sold unclean braised duck. I got an upset stomach after eating it, that's why I'm here to seek justice."

Da Hu immediately began to cry and complain.

Although he had seven or eight men under his command, he dared not clash with Zhou Quan, a school security guard who carried a gun.

"What exactly is going on?" Zhou Quan frowned slightly, turned to look at Liang Ming, and asked:

"Is there a quality problem with the braised duck from your store?"

Before Liang Ming could speak, Qin Fang, standing to the side, angrily pointed at Da Hu and said:

"He's lying!"

"He said that he ate our Liang Hei Ya braised duck about half an hour ago, and then he started having stomach problems!"

"But our shop wasn't even open half an hour ago, so where would we get braised duck to sell him?"

Li Cui chimed in, "That's right, Liang Hei Ya always opens after 11 a.m.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask everyone."

The surrounding customers all nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Quan looked at Da Hu with an unfriendly expression and asked:

"Big Tiger, what else do you have to say?"
