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

Having Qian Jian arrange for people to enter the sales points was something Liang Ming had already anticipated.

His tacit approval was intended to bind this sales point, the county's state-run restaurant, and Qian Jian together.

As long as the people Qian Jian arranges do a good job at the sales point.

Once the fruit cannery at the restaurant entrance started doing well, it attracted the envy of some people who wanted to take over the business. Without Liang Ming having to do anything, Qian Jian would deal with those people for him.

Anyway, as this sales point goes on, in order to maintain stability, it will definitely need to bring in people from state-run restaurants.

In that case, it would be better to give Qian Jian some spots now as a favor.

This would both prevent future troubles and make Qian Jian owe him a favor.

Liang Ming's wave is in the atmosphere.

"Mr. Liang, it's settled then. We'll stick to these terms, and there can't be any changes."

Qian Jian looked at Liang Ming with a serious expression and said.

"it is good!"

Liang Ming nodded in agreement.

After the two signed the contract, Qian Jian left with a smile on his face.

Having secured this collaborative project, he naturally needed to return and make proper arrangements.

"Director Wang, I'm entrusting you with handling the sales point in front of the state-run restaurant. Any questions?"

After Qian Jian left, Liang Ming turned to Wang Ren and said.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ren nodded and said, "No problem, Boss Liang, leave this to me."

Liang Ming nodded slightly, not lingering on the topic for too long.

He believed Wang Ren could handle this matter well.

As they spoke, the sky gradually darkened.

Judging that Mayor Jiang and his group would be arriving soon, Liang Ming and Qian Jian booked a private room and ordered some dishes from the banquet.

"Mr. Liang, I've been busy with things in the office. Sorry to keep you waiting."

Before long, Mayor Jiang arrived at the county-run restaurant, accompanied by a young man.

Upon hearing Township Head Jiang's words, Liang Ming smiled and said:

"Mayor Jiang, we've only just arrived."

"I've ordered a few simple dishes. What else would you like to eat? Shall we order a couple more?"

As they were talking, Liang Ming handed the menu to Mayor Jiang.

Township Head Jiang took the menu, and after seeing the dishes Liang Ming had ordered, a smile appeared on his face. He said:

"Mr. Liang, the dishes you ordered are already quite substantial. I don't have anything else to order. I can only order a few bottles of drinks?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming smiled and said, "Please, Mayor Jiang."

Immediately, Mayor Jiang ordered several bottles of Moutai and then asked the waiter to bring out the dishes.

Soon the waiter brought the food and drinks.

During the event, Qian Jian even came to the private room to toast the group.

Township Chief Jiang didn't speak, but told Liang Ming the purpose of the meeting.

At the dinner table, they toasted and drank merrily.

After several rounds of drinks and several meals, both sides were quite drunk.

Township Head Jiang then slowly put down his wine glass and said to Liang Ming:

"Mr. Liang, do you know why I've come to see you today?"

"Mayor Jiang, I really don't know this. Could you tell me?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming knew that Mayor Jiang was about to get down to business, so he immediately put down his wine glass and asked with a serious expression.

Township Head Jiang didn't waste any words and went straight to the point;

"Mr. Liang, how's the expansion of your cannery going?"

"The expansion is already 60-70% complete. At the current pace, it should be finished within two months," Liang Ming replied.

"Two months? That's not slow."

Upon hearing this, Mayor Jiang nodded slightly.

He thought about it carefully for a moment, then asked Liang Ming:

"Mr. Liang, if you were the mayor of Taoyuan Township and you were tasked with attracting investment, what would you do?"

Upon hearing Township Head Jiang's words, Liang Ming immediately stood up and said:

"Mayor Jiang, you flatter me too much. I'm just a small businessman, how could I possibly be a mayor?"

"Only a capable person like you, Mayor Jiang, can lead us ordinary people to prosperity in your position!"

Although he knew that Mayor Jiang's question might have been just a casual remark.

But I also have to say some polite things.

While I'm at it, I'll also flatter Mayor Jiang.

Don't underestimate a township head. He may seem to only be in charge of a few hundred thousand people in a township, but Liang Ming's wealth of several hundred thousand is really nothing compared to the other party's.

"Mr. Liang, I was just asking for your opinion, I didn't mean anything by it."

Seeing that Liang Ming seemed to have misunderstood him, Mayor Jiang smiled and frankly said:

"To be honest, I'm currently worried about the future development of Taoyuan Township."

"Our Taoyuan Township has abundant fruit resources, but we can't find good sales channels!"

"Aside from a few state-owned enterprises that can provide jobs, there are very few other private enterprises."

“Your Liangji Canned Food Factory is already one of the top private enterprises in our Taoyuan Township.”

At this point, Mayor Jiang paused for a moment before continuing;

"This is why our township strongly supports Liangji Canned Food Factory. We want the factory to create more jobs and boost the local economy."

Upon hearing Mayor Jiang's frank statement, Liang Ming remained calm and unsurprised.

He knew that Mayor Jiang's help to him was for a purpose.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and nothing is good without a reason.

The township needs a large private enterprise to step forward and drive the local economy.

Liang Ming also needs the support of the township to make Liang's Canned Food Factory bigger and stronger.

Now that Liangji Canned Food Factory has expanded, it's only right that Township Head Jiang wants to allocate some resources to supporting other private enterprises.

"Mayor Jiang, I understand what you mean. If we want to attract investment, there are ways."

Thinking about this, Liang Ming knew that Mayor Jiang's purpose this time was to get him to think of a way to help the township attract investment.

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Mayor Jiang's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Oh? Mr. Liang, do you have a solution?"

Without further ado, Liang Ming immediately stated his thoughts: "If we want to attract investment, we need to make businessmen feel that Taoyuan Township has a great investment atmosphere and that the business environment is guaranteed."

"This requires the township to introduce relevant support policies, such as tax exemption and incentive mechanisms."

"And the business environment is easy to understand; it means that the security of the village must be guaranteed."

“During this period, I opened restaurant branches in other counties and I also felt this way. In many places, there are so-called local bullies. If outside businessmen want to invest in the local area, they have to pay their respects and pay protection money.”

"So this fee may not be much money for big businessmen, but it can be an invisible obstacle to the entrepreneurial path of many small businessmen who are just starting out."

After saying so much in one breath, Liang Ming also took a deep breath. In addition, he had drunk quite a lot of alcohol, so he felt a little heavy-headed.

He quickly poured himself a cup of hot tea and drank it.

After hearing Liang Ming's words, Mayor Jiang also showed a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Support policies, business environment..." Mayor Jiang murmured to himself.

"Mayor Jiang, regarding the business environment, Taoyuan Township should be fine," Liang Ming said to Mayor Jiang.

"Now, thanks to the increased patrols by Director Wang Jiu, the social order in Taoyuan Township is very stable and prosperous."

"What we need now is a fresh influx of businesses to boost the economy of Taoyuan Township."

At this point, Liang Ming offered another suggestion to Township Head Jiang:

“We can hold an investment promotion conference to showcase the products of several state-owned enterprises and private enterprises in the township, and invite people from all walks of life to participate.”

"At the same time, we will introduce the township's enterprise support policies at the investment promotion conference."

"I believe it will attract many foreign businessmen to invest."

Upon hearing Liang Ming's suggestion, Mayor Jiang's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh, saying:

"What a great investment promotion conference!"

"Mr. Liang, you've really given me some great advice."

"Our village owes you another huge favor!"

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming quickly and modestly replied, "Mayor Jiang, this idea only came to me after seeing the township's strong support for our cannery."

"I dare not take credit for this!"

"It's all thanks to you, Township Head, for your excellent leadership."
