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

After leaving the No. 1 Middle School in the county, Liang Ming stayed at Liang Heiya Braised Duck Shop for a while, and then went to Liang Ji Bicycle Factory.

Liangji Bicycle Factory's production capacity has gradually increased, and workers are producing bicycle parts in an orderly manner in the factory.

"Boss Liang, our factory's bicycle production capacity has increased. We can now produce and assemble 120 fixed-gear bicycles every day."

Upon seeing Liang Ming arrive, Factory Director Qin smiled and took the initiative to report on his work.

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming smiled and said:

"Oh? You can produce 120 fixed-gear bicycles a day now?"

"Director Qin, it seems you're managing the bicycle factory very well."

Upon hearing this, Qin Fen also revealed a smug smile.

Since a new leader was parachuted into the Second Sports Equipment Factory, he has been left idle at home. It would be impossible for him not to feel some resentment.

This is why he made the difficult decision to give up his secure job as a cadre at the Second Sports Equipment Factory and go into business.

He wanted to achieve something significant so that the incompetent leaders of the Second Sports Equipment Factory would know that losing him would be a huge loss for the factory.

“Boss Liang, if it weren’t for you securing sales channels for Liang’s Bicycle Factory, even if I produced the fixed-gear bicycles, I wouldn’t be able to sell them.”

In his moment of triumph, Qin Fen did not forget to boast about Liang Ming's achievements, saying...

Upon hearing Qin Fen's words, Liang Ming smiled.

No wonder he came from a state-owned factory; he speaks so pleasantly.

"Director Qin, how are our factory's daily sales going these days?"

Liang Ming immediately asked another question.

"At the steel mill, we've already sold a total of 280 fixed-gear bicycles!"

"Many of these were purchased by the families of steelworkers."

"There probably won't be much more available later."

Qin Fen said.

Upon hearing that 280 fixed-gear bicycles had been sold, Liang Ming nodded slightly.

Such sales figures are indeed the limit.

After all, some of the steelworkers already owned bicycles.

This bicycle costs over a hundred yuan, and under normal circumstances, these steelworkers wouldn't easily replace their bikes.

"What about the state-run restaurants and supply and marketing cooperatives?"

Liang Ming asked.

"State-run restaurants now have a stable supply of around 30 fixed-gear bicycles per day."

"The supply and marketing cooperatives, on the other hand, have a stable supply of around 80 to 100 units."

Qin Fen said.

"So, our factory's production capacity just meets the needs of state-run restaurants and supply and marketing cooperatives?"

Liang Ming said.

Upon hearing this, Qin Fen chuckled and said, "Boss Liang, you can't say that."

"As far as I know, the county supply and marketing cooperative originally had a partnership with the Second Sports Equipment Factory."

"I heard that the customers of the supply and marketing cooperative felt that the fixed-gear bicycles from the Second Sports Equipment Factory were not as good-looking as ours, so they all switched to buying our fixed-gear bicycles."

"The county supply and marketing cooperative has now reduced its orders for fixed-gear bikes from the Second Sports Equipment Factory."

"Judging from this trend, it's a foregone conclusion that Director Chen of the county supply and marketing cooperative and our factory will increase their orders for fixed-gear bicycles."

Hearing this, Liang Ming understood why Qin Fen was so happy.

The decline in bicycle sales at the Second Sports Equipment Factory precisely indicates that the new leadership at the factory has encountered problems in production management.

Qin Fen could slap these new leaders in the face and make money for Liangji Canned Food Factory, so how could he not be happy?

"Director Qin, don't be too happy yet. We have orders now, but we still need to ensure quality during production!"

"We absolutely cannot produce substandard products that could damage our factory's reputation!"

Liang Ming reminded Qin Fen:

"Right now, our factory is at a critical juncture in building its reputation."

Liangji Bicycle Factory currently sells around 120 fixed-gear bicycles per day.

Based on a wholesale price of 120 yuan per unit, Liangji Bicycle Factory's daily sales revenue is [amount missing].

In this era, daily sales of tens of thousands of yuan are already the sales standard for large factories.

As long as Liangji Bicycle Factory maintains its reputation, it will be a continuous source of wealth for Liang Ming.

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Qin Fen's expression turned serious, and he nodded, saying:

"Don't worry, boss, I will take this matter seriously."

Seeing that Qin Fen had listened attentively, Liang Ming nodded and said.

After leaving Liangji Bicycle Factory, he returned to Taoyuan Township.

Liang Ming was going to the cannery to check on its production status and the expansion plans.

……

In the conference room of the Second Sports Equipment Factory in the county town.

The new factory manager looked at the sales report in his hand, his face somewhat gloomy. He glanced around at the group of senior executives from the sporting goods factory below and asked in a deep voice:

"Can anyone tell me why our bicycle sales at the Second Sports Equipment Factory have been declining for the past few days?"

Is it a slackening in production at the factory, or a failure in sales?

The executives from the sports equipment factory all lowered their heads, not daring to reply.

They were all promoted after the new factory director was parachuted in.

The management team that used to be in charge of the Second Sports Equipment Factory has either been demoted, left idle at home, or gone into business.

They simply don't understand how to manage a factory.

Simply put, they are a bunch of good-for-nothings.

Given the current situation, they won't admit it's their own problem.

"say!"

Seeing that no one answered his question, the new factory manager's face darkened, and he said in a cold voice.

Everyone trembled when they saw the new factory manager get angry.

They looked at each other, and finally their gazes fell on Director Chen, who was in charge of the logistics department.

Everyone knows that Director Chen is the new factory director's trusted confidant.

At this moment, only he can save everyone by speaking up.

Noticing the gazes of the crowd, Director Chen felt that he had to say something at this moment.

He braced himself and said to the new factory director, "Director Wu, there are no problems with the production or quality of the fixed-gear bicycles produced by our Second Sports Equipment Factory."

"The reason for the sales decline is entirely due to a new bicycle factory competing with us."

Wu Yong was only thirty years old when he became the new factory director of the Second Sports Equipment Factory. Regardless of his abilities, he must have had connections.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to parachute in after the old factory director and reap the rewards of the "fixed-gear bicycle" project.

He was naturally not going to be fooled by a few words from Director Chen.

"What a joke! Our Second Sports Equipment Factory is a state-owned factory that has been operating for many years and has a great reputation in Taoyuan County."

"Can a new private bicycle factory so easily steal bicycle sales from our state-owned factories?"

"Doesn't this just prove that you're all too useless?"

Wu Yong's sharp gaze swept over the group of high-ranking officials in front of him, and he said in a cold voice.

Upon hearing this, all the senior executives of the sports equipment factory were drenched in sweat.
