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

“Boss Liang, if we really give the kitchen staff 6% of the profits, I believe they would definitely be willing to work there.”

"But wouldn't you be losing out too much by doing this?"

Qin Fen asked Liang Ming.

After all, the factory canteen belongs to the factory.

In other words, Liang Ming provided the money, the land, and the ingredients.

The chefs only need to put in a little effort to get 6% of the profits.

If this gets out, I wonder how many cafeteria cooks will envy them.

"I never intended to make money from this. Taking 30% of the profits is just to ensure I don't lose money."

Hearing Qin Fen's words, Liang Ming smiled and said;

"By generating revenue for the kitchen staff, their enthusiasm for work will be greatly increased, and the workers will be able to eat better."

Hearing Liang Ming's words, Qin Fen said seriously, "Boss Liang, the cooks in our factory canteen are truly honored to have a boss like you."

"Alright, stop flattering me, let's eat first." Hearing Qin Fen's words, Liang Ming smiled and said:

"After you finish eating, tell me about the recent developments at the bicycle factory."

Upon hearing this, Qin Fen nodded in agreement.

After the meal, Qin Fen also reported to Liang Ming on the current situation of the bicycle factory.

"Boss Liang, our bicycle factory's daily production capacity has now reached 150 units."

"Since our live-fly products were launched, the response has been great. They are not only selling well in the county, but also in several nearby counties and the city."

"Our factory produces 150 live bicycles a day, which is simply not enough to meet the demand."

At this point, Qin Fen paused for a moment and concluded:

"Currently, our Liangji Bicycle Factory's daily sales revenue is [amount] yuan!"

Upon hearing Qin Fen's name, Liang Ming's face showed a hint of surprise.

In the 1980s, it was quite an amazing achievement for a factory to sell more than 10,000 units a day.

No wonder so many capitalists in later generations ventured into the real estate and automobile markets after accumulating their first pot of gold.

These two industries are truly profitable.

"Director Qin, under your management, our bicycle factory's sales are booming. You deserve all the credit!"

Liang Ming smiled and said to Qin Fen.

Upon hearing this, Qin Fen quickly replied, "Boss Liang, it's all because of the excellent flying bicycle product you designed!"

"Our factory has achieved these amazing results because consumers are paying for it."

"I wouldn't dare take credit!"

Hearing Qin Fen's modest words, Liang Ming smiled and nodded.

This Factory Director Qin is quite low-key and humble.

I feel comfortable using someone like that.

“Mr. Liang, our Liangji Bicycle Factory’s products are currently in high demand, but our current production capacity cannot meet the demand, which means we are losing a lot of money every day.”

At this moment, Qin Fen changed the subject and asked Liang Ming.

"Look, shouldn't we expand our production capacity?"

After hearing Qin Fen's words, Liang Ming thought for a moment and said:

"It's not necessary for now. Liangji Bicycle Factory has just established itself. Bicycles are not like other commodities. Blindly expanding production capacity can easily lead to problems."

"It's better to proceed steadily and gradually."

"However, if we don't take advantage of the favorable market situation to expand our production capacity now, we will lose a lot of orders without even realizing it."

Qin Fen hesitated for a moment before speaking.

In his view, by taking advantage of the favorable market conditions and expanding production capacity to produce more flying bicycles, he could ride this wave and make a fortune.

Liang Ming knew what Qin Fen was thinking and said with a smile:

"Director Qin, money can never be earned enough. Blindly expanding production capacity is not a good thing for our Liangji Bicycle Factory."

"Don't forget, our factory has another competitor, who's eyeing it covetously."

"Mr. Liang, are you referring to the Second Sports Equipment Factory?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Fen immediately understood Liang Ming's meaning and asked in return.

Liang Ming nodded and said, "We made the Second Sports Equipment Factory lose so much face before, they definitely won't let it go."

"In the short term, we should not blindly expand our production capacity, so as not to attract the attention of the Second Sports Equipment Factory again."

Hearing Liang Ming's words, Qin Fen nodded and said:

"Okay, Mr. Liang, I'll listen to you."

After the meal, Liang Ming left Liang's Bicycle Factory.

Qin Fen, on the other hand, went to talk to the chefs in the cafeteria kitchen about opening a convenient food stall.

At first, when Qin Fen said he wanted to set up a convenient food stall, the chefs in the kitchen had some reservations.

After all, this only increased their workload significantly.

But when they heard that 6% of the profits from the convenience store would go to them, all the kitchen staff got excited.

Who wouldn't want a job that increases their income?

Especially since it was something that happened easily.

"Director Qin, you are truly brilliant! You even came up with such a great money-making idea as a convenient catering service."

"Yes, yes, and what about the remaining 6% of the profits? Are they really going to give us a share?"

"Director Qin, you..."

The chefs in the kitchen all started flattering Qin Fen.

Hearing what the chefs in the kitchen said, Qin Fen smiled and said:

"You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank our boss, Mr. Liang."

"The idea of ​​a convenient food stall was Boss Liang's idea."

"This 6% profit was also proposed by Boss Liang to be shared with you."

"Don't think I don't know you guys usually call me stingy Qin. If it were up to me, I would never give you that 6% profit."

Upon hearing Qin Fen's words, the chefs in the factory canteen all showed a look of sudden realization.

They said, "How could the stingy Qin be so generous as to give them 6% of the profits?"

It turns out that it was Boss Liang who made the decision.

The next second, a look of gratitude appeared on the faces of every kitchen cook in the factory canteen.

"I never expected that Mr. Liang, who is so busy with his work, would still be thinking of ways to make money for us, and that he would be willing to share so much of the profits with us."

"Following Boss Liang, we've made the right choice in our lives."

Hearing the chefs' words of gratitude, Qin Fen smiled but didn't say anything more.

These kitchen staff just need to know how to be grateful.

It wasn't in vain; Boss Liang shared so much profit with them.

……

Liang Ming had no idea that the 6% of the profits from the factory canteen's convenient meal service that he had casually given up had already earned the gratitude of the chefs at the bicycle factory canteen, who were practically keeping his picture on display at home.

After leaving Liangji Bicycle Factory, he came to Liangheiya Braised Duck Shop at the No. 1 Middle School in the county.

With the college entrance examination just around the corner, the parents of students at the entrance of the county's No. 1 High School all wore expressions of tension.

The results of the college entrance examination determine whether their children will have a good future.

To ensure that the children's bodies meet their nutritional requirements during this period, the parents have been providing them with the best possible food and drink.

For this reason, the braised dishes made with medicinal herbs at Liang Heiya Braised Duck Shop have naturally become a popular purchase among students' parents.

At this moment, although it was already one o'clock in the afternoon, a long queue had still formed in front of Liang Heiya's braised duck shop.

Seeing that Li Cui and several shop employees were busy, Liang Ming did not disturb them.

Instead, he bought a bottle of iced cola, sat down, and started drinking it.

It wasn't until 2 p.m., after the school bell rang for afternoon classes, that the number of customers at Liang Hei Ya (a type of braised duck) near the school gate decreased.

"Finally I can rest. I'm exhausted."

"Manager Li, with you and me, there are only three of us in our store. We feel like we can't keep up all day. Could you hire another person?"

The two female employees in the shop had a good relationship with Li Cui, they muttered to themselves.

Li Cui was also exhausted and covered in sweat. Hearing their words, she said irritably:

"Forget about it. With our boss being so stingy, it's already a miracle that he's not laying off anyone, let alone hiring another person?"

Liang Ming, who was walking in with several bottles of iced cola, intending to reward his employees, froze upon hearing Li Cui's words.

Should he just turn around and leave?
