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

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression turned grim.

Wreaths are only used for funerals.

Song Qiang's deliberately wrong words were clearly a curse on Liang Ming's Xiangmanlou branch, wishing it a short-lived business.

Although Liang Ming was angry inside, he didn't show it, and instead said calmly:

"Song Qiang, I never expected that you could get out after committing such a serious crime. I really didn't expect that."

"Hehe, Liang Ming, I didn't expect this myself. Luckily, my sister didn't get together with you, otherwise she wouldn't have met the big boss from Hong Kong."

Song Qiang smiled smugly and said:

"From now on, our family can be said to have benefited from the success of one person, and even the chickens and dogs have risen to heaven."

At this point, he patted the Santana beside him and said proudly:

"See my car? It's a German brand, a foreign product. Even if you sold your restaurant, you couldn't afford one of my engines."

"You're destined to a life of hardship!"

Hearing Song Qiang's sarcastic remarks, everyone's expressions turned ugly.

"Song Qiang, I really don't know what you're so smug about?"

"If your sister hadn't used her body to beg for help, could you have gotten away with smuggling foreign watches and cleared your name?"

Liang Ming shook his head and chuckled, saying:

"Where do you get the nerve to be so smug here?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it was like a knife stabbing into Song Qiang.

The surrounding merchants looked at Song Qiang with disdain upon hearing this.

Don't be fooled by his respectable appearance and car; he's actually a lowly scoundrel who lives off his sister's prostitution.

"Liang Ming, shut up, or I'll smash your shop to pieces."

Song Qiang's face was full of anger, his eyes widened, and he shouted angrily at Liang Ming.

Clearly, Liang Ming's words touched a nerve.

"Song Qiang, you'd better think twice before you start causing trouble."

Liang Ming sneered, pointed to the people beside him, and said:

"Everyone here is a prominent figure in Taoyuan County!"

"If you really smash up my shop, even if your sister's Hong Kong businessman boyfriend wants to save you, it will take a lot of effort."

"Song Qiang, your case has just been closed, so it's best not to wander around."

Wang Jiu, with a stern face, said to Song Qiang:

"While there's nothing wrong with the foreign watches you have, your mental illness certificate is suspected of being fake, and the doctor who issued it has been taken away for investigation."

"The station hasn't forgotten what you did before. If you try to cause trouble here again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Upon hearing Wang Jiu's words, Song Qiang's expression changed slightly.

Although he has some money now and a Hong Kong businessman who is about to become his brother-in-law, he doesn't dare to go head-to-head with someone like Wang Jiu who is a cuckold.

"Director Wang, I was just joking with Liang Ming. I'm here today to congratulate him on his grand opening."

Song Qiang smiled awkwardly and said:

"Besides, I'm also a customer, I'm here to eat, you can't just kick me out, can you?"

"If you're just here to eat, our Xiangmanlou Restaurant is more than happy to welcome you."

Liang Ming said calmly:

"But your car is blocking our restaurant's entrance, so you'll have to move it."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if the firecrackers damaged your car."

Having received Wang Jiu's warning, Song Qiang naturally dared not say anything harsh again, and chuckled awkwardly:

"Sure, sure, I'll drive off right away."

Seeing that Liang Ming's attempt to show off had failed, Song Qiang was too ashamed to stay any longer. With a gloomy face, he got into the car and drove away in his Santana.

With Song Qiang gone, the Xiangmanlou branch bustled with activity once again.

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Liang Ming called out to the onlookers:

"Dear bosses and ladies, today is the grand opening of our Xiangmanlou branch. All purchases are 30% off."

"In addition, there is a voucher giveaway. You can draw once as soon as you open a table, and you can draw again after you pay the bill."

These two opening events were arranged by Liang Ming and Jiang Meizhuang long ago.

Jiang Meizhuang had never heard of such a novel opening event before, so naturally she wouldn't refuse.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding people showed a hint of curiosity on their faces.

"Boss, what are these vouchers?" a curious customer asked.

As the director of the county supply and marketing cooperative, Chen Jiu was quite sensitive to items such as grain coupons.

Hearing Liang Ming mention the vouchers, they looked at him curiously.

"These vouchers are similar to the grain coupons and meat coupons you have, but they can only be used at our Xiangmanlou Restaurant."

Liang Ming didn't waste any words and explained:

"The voucher states how much money can be deducted, and that amount will be deducted when you make a purchase at our store."

As they were talking, Liang Ming randomly drew a voucher from the lottery box next to him, which had the words "2 Yuan Voucher" written on it.

"For example, with this two-yuan coupon, if you spend three yuan in our store, you can deduct two yuan, so you only need to pay one yuan."

After hearing Liang Ming's explanation, the diners suddenly understood, and their faces showed excitement.

They all wanted to try their luck at drawing the vouchers.

"Boss, I want to start a table, let me go first!"

"I also want to try my luck at getting a voucher; I'm about to have dinner too."

Diners were eager to participate in the voucher draw, creating a lively atmosphere.

To keep the restaurant's business running smoothly, Liang Ming had diners line up, draw tickets first, and then enter.

"I won! I won a 5 yuan coupon!"

The first diner drew a voucher from the raffle box, looked at the amount, and said...

"Boss, congratulations! You actually won such a big voucher. This is one of the few vouchers available in this event. You're incredibly lucky."

Upon seeing this, Liang Ming immediately spoke to the diner.

Upon hearing this, the diner was overjoyed and turned to go over with a few friends to eat and drink together.

With the first customer setting an example, the other customers were eager to try it.

For the subsequent ticket-drawing process, Liang Ming found a pretty waitress to handle it.

Liang Ming then led Wang Jiu, Chen Jiu, and the others to a private room, ordered all the restaurant's specialties, and treated them well.

"Mr. Liang, your opening discount event is brilliant!"

Liu Ming spoke first, praising Liang Ming:

"I'm sure that, given how people like to get a good deal, in the next few days, all the diners in the neighborhood will definitely come to your restaurant to spend money."

Liu Ming could tell that Liang Ming had a business mind from the moment he set up a stall selling braised duck at the entrance of the steel factory.

How long has it been?

Liang Ming has even opened a restaurant!

"I think Mr. Liang's consumer voucher program is very innovative."

Chen Jiu, the director of the county supply and marketing cooperative, clicked his tongue in astonishment:

"These vouchers can be used to offset the cost of meals, and they are randomly drawn, so it's all about luck."

"This activity not only satisfies diners' desire to get a good deal, but also adds to the fun."

"With this event, which other restaurant in Taoyuan County can compete with Xiangmanlou?"

Upon hearing Chen Jiu's words, everyone nodded in agreement.

Hearing his friends' praise, Liang Ming humbly said:

"Director Chen, Director Liu, you flatter me."

"This is just a small opening event that I came up with on a whim. It's nothing special, just a way to get some popularity."

Seeing Liang Ming's low-key and humble demeanor, Chen Jiu and the others all looked on with admiration.

Such humble yet confident, talented young people are becoming increasingly rare.

"Mr. Liang, although you have a good business sense, there's something I still need to remind you of."

At this moment, Director Qin of the sports equipment factory seemed to have thought of something and reminded Liang Ming:

"The struggles in the business world are not simple. Sometimes it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. You should be careful of that troublemaker."

"When he left just now, his eyes were full of venom. Who knows what kind of underhanded tricks he might pull to damage the reputation of your Xiangmanlou Restaurant."
