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

Seeing Jiang Meizhuang's serious expression, Liang Ming knew she wasn't joking, and he also became serious:

"Sister Meizhuang, are you really planning to open a teahouse?"

"It's not me driving it, it's us driving it together."

Jiang Meizhuang looked at Liang Ming with a serious expression and said:

"You're the big boss of Xiangmanlou chain restaurants, so don't think you can just sit back and do nothing this time!"

She believed in Liang Ming's abilities, and if Xiangmanlou Chain Catering Company wanted to open a teahouse, Liang Ming had to help.

Upon hearing Jiang Meizhuang's words, Liang Ming also began to think seriously.

Teahouses have existed since ancient times, especially in southern cities.

In the provincial capital, there are time-honored teahouses with decades of history, such as "Huacheng Restaurant," "Tao Tao Ju," and "Panxi Restaurant."

However, in Taoyuan City, a city in western Guangdong, many teahouses have opened and closed, and no successful teahouse brands have emerged yet.

It can be said that the potential market for teahouses in Taoyuan City is still very large.

Liang Ming had never thought about opening a teahouse, but Jiang Meizhuang's reminder piqued his interest.

After all, he now owns the "Xiangmanlou" restaurant brand.

Using this signboard to open a teahouse has a natural advantage.

“Sister Meizhuang, it’s not impossible for our Xiangmanlou to open a teahouse.”

Thinking of this, Liang Ming slowly spoke.

Seeing that Liang Ming agreed with her opinion, Jiang Meizhuang's face also showed a hint of joy:

"Brother Liang Ming, I knew you would support me."

"While I agree to opening a teahouse, we can't rush things; we need to be fully prepared," Liang Ming said, changing the subject.

"The location of a teahouse must be carefully chosen, as the target consumer groups of teahouses and restaurants are different."

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Jiang Meizhuang asked solemnly, "Brother Liang Ming, what's the difference between the two?"

"Most customers come to the restaurant to fill their stomachs. As long as the food tastes good, the service is adequate, and they can discuss business while eating, that's enough."

Liang Ming explained:

"But teahouses are different!"

"Less than 30% of the customers who come to the teahouse are looking to satisfy their hunger."

"Most teahouse customers prefer a dining atmosphere; the tea and snacks should be exquisite, the teahouse decor should be dignified, and the view outside the teahouse should ideally be expansive."

"One must have either a view of the sea or a view of the mountains and the moon."

After hearing Liang Ming's explanation, Jiang Meizhuang's eyes lit up, as if she had been enlightened.

"Facing the sea, gazing at the mountains and admiring the moon..."

Jiang Meizhuang murmured the two words softly, finding them increasingly charming with each recitation.

She came from a state-run canteen, and some of her thinking was still influenced by the "large portions and unlimited food" business concept of state-run canteens.

After listening to Liang Ming's words, she has gained a lot of insight.

"Brother Liang Ming, do you mean we should choose a building with a sea view for our teahouse?"

Jiang Meizhuang asked Liang Ming.

"It doesn't necessarily have to be a view of the sea; finding a building with a lake view would be just as good!"

"It's summer now. Enjoying the lake and willows, and brewing tea by the lakeside is a pleasant way of life."

Liang Ming said.

"Enjoying the lake and willows, brewing tea by the water's edge?"

After hearing Liang Ming's description, Jiang Meizhuang smiled and said:

“Brother Liang Ming, now that you mention it, I’m tempted to visit a teahouse like this.”

"Sister Meizhuang, we can be the first teahouse like this!"

Liang Ming also said with a smile:

"Then, we'll brew tea, look at the lake, and chat about life and our ideals."

Hearing Liang Ming's words, Jiang Meizhuang blushed slightly, clearly recalling some scenes.

After a few breaths, she finally spoke and asked:

"Brother Liang Ming, where do you think would be a good location for this lakeside teahouse?"

Upon hearing Jiang Meizhuang's question, Liang Ming thought for a moment and said:

"Sister Meizhuang, don't I remember there was a newly built three-story building next to Donghu Park in our county?"

"Yes, it's said to be newly built, but actually only the main structure and exterior walls are finished. The water and electricity, and other things, are not yet done."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Meizhuang frowned and said:

"Brother Liang Ming, you're not thinking of buying that three-story building, are you?"

"Sister Meizhuang, do you think this is okay?"

Liang Ming countered with a question.

Jiang Meizhuang hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Brother Liang Ming, I think it's better not to take over that three-story building."

"As far as I know, that three-story building is a bit strange. It has been taken over by three different bosses, but the construction has been started and stopped repeatedly, and the bosses who took over have all run into trouble one after another."

At this point, Jiang Meizhuang paused, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said to Liang Ming:

“Brother Liang Ming, I personally am not superstitious, but there are rumors circulating that there’s something eerie about that three-story building…”

"I heard that the owner of that three-story building is also eager to sell it."

"Is the owner of that building in a hurry to make a move?" Liang Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this.

It's like someone brings you a pillow just when you're sleepy.

Having been reborn, Liang Ming knew very well that the so-called supernatural aspects of that three-story building were nothing but nonsense.

The reason why the previous two bosses took action one after another was entirely because neither of them were clean people. They happened to be caught in the crackdown in recent years and were arrested.

The third owner was a gambling addict who had accumulated huge gambling debts and had to sell the three-story building.

In his previous life, after the fourth boss took over the three-story building, just as Liang Ming had imagined, it was renovated and turned into a large hotel.

The first floor is used for tea, the second floor has private dining rooms, and the third floor provides accommodation suites for guests.

Thanks to the unique advantage of the lake view, the fourth owner became a millionaire in Taoyuan County in the late 80s.

Later, he turned the "Wanghu Hotel" into a chain hotel, and by the 90s, he had become a big boss with assets of tens of millions.

Now that Liang Ming has been reborn, the lucrative "Wanghu Grand Hotel" will naturally be created under his own leadership.

Becoming a millionaire is just a small goal for him.

"Brother Liang Ming, you didn't hear the point of what I said. What I meant was, that building is very strange, and taking it over will definitely..."

Seeing Liang Ming's eyes light up, Jiang Meizhuang became a little anxious. She wanted Liang Ming to understand that the three-story building was not a good investment.

But before she could finish speaking, Liang Ming interrupted her:

"We must investigate!"

"Sister Meizhuang, if we buy that three-story building, we'll definitely make a fortune!"

Hearing Liang Ming's words, Jiang Meizhuang was both amused and exasperated, saying, "Brother Liang Ming, why are you so stubborn..."

"Sister Meizhuang, even if you don't believe in that fortune-making building, you must believe in my abilities, right?"

Seeing Jiang Meizhuang's worried expression, Liang Ming thought for a moment and decided to say a few words of comfort to her:

"Your management skills, combined with the business ideas in my head."

"As long as we improve the teahouse's decor and focus on service quality, and then I introduce some unique tea snacks, our Wanghu Teahouse will definitely become the number one teahouse in Taoyuan City!!"

Perhaps seeing Liang Ming's confident demeanor, Jiang Meizhuang, who had been somewhat worried, felt much more at ease.

The claim that the three-story building in Donghu Park is eerie is simply a rumor.

But Liang Ming's abilities are undeniable.

With Liang Ming around, what does she have to be afraid of?
