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

Upon hearing Jiang Tao's words, Liang Ming's expression changed slightly, and he said:

"Brother Jiang Tao, how could even you..."

If even Jiang Tao opposes his relationship with Jiang Meizhuang, then the difficulty for him to gain the approval of Jiang Meizhuang's parents has increased even further.

Even so, he still wouldn't give up on Jiang Meizhuang.

Liang Ming has already set his sights on Jiang Meizhuang, so he won't give up easily.

Upon seeing Liang Ming, Jiang Tao's expression tightened at first, then hardened, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

If Liang Ming backs down because of his objection, then even without his parents' objection, his older brother will object immediately.

Judging from the current situation, Liang Ming's performance has been quite good.

He immediately said to Liang Ming, "Liang Ming, I was just joking with you."

“My sister likes you, and as her older brother, I naturally can’t let her be sad.”

"Besides, I'm very satisfied with you. I'd be more than willing to have you as my brother-in-law."

"Don't worry, when you and my sister come home for dinner, I will definitely put in a good word for you with my parents."

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

"Brother Jiang Tao, since that's the case, then I'll leave it to you."

After the matter was settled, Liang Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

With the support of his future brother-in-law, his relationship with Jiang Meizhuang was already halfway to success.

Next, it's all about how to please your future in-laws.

Immediately, Liang Ming asked Jiang Tao carefully about his parents' hobbies and interests.

Jiang Tao was also very open and forthcoming with his words.

When Jiang Meizhuang finished ordering and returned from outside the private room, she saw Liang Ming and Jiang Tao already chatting animatedly.

"Liang Ming, have you finished talking to my older brother about that matter?"

Jiang Meizhuang sat down next to Liang Ming and asked with concern.

"After we finished talking, my older brother promised to put in a good word for me with my uncle and aunt."

"In addition, I also learned about some of my uncle and aunt's hobbies from my older brother, so I have a better idea of ​​what to expect when I meet them."

Liang Ming nodded and said to Jiang Meizhuang.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Meizhuang looked at Jiang Tao with suspicion in her beautiful eyes and said, "My elder brother just agreed to this like that? When did he become so easy to talk to?"

Hearing his sister's words, Jiang Tao said with a wry smile, "Little sister, the way you're talking makes it sound like your brother is some kind of heartless old stubbornness?"

“Brother, aren’t you the same?” Jiang Meizhuang retorted.

The fact that my elder brother became the mayor of Shitou Township in his thirties shows that he is a mature and steady person.

Back home, Jiang Meizhuang often felt that her older brother, Jiang Tao, thought like an old man.

"Little sister, what you're saying is really hurting my feelings," Jiang Tao said with a wry smile.

Just then, the restaurant waiter brought the food to the table.

“Brother Jiang Tao, you must be hungry after a long day of work. Let’s eat first and chat while we eat.”

Liang Ming said to Jiang Tao.

When Jiang Tao saw that the table was full of his favorite dishes, he knew that his sister had specially ordered them for him. A smile appeared on his face, and he said, "I have to say, I was really hungry."

"Eat up, I know you haven't been eating properly lately, eat more," Jiang Meizhuang said to Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao immediately picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

After a hearty meal, Jiang Tao leaned back in his chair, burping contentedly as he remarked:

"Little sister, the cooking skills in your restaurant kitchen are really not tiring. I've already eaten three big bowls of rice, and I still can't get enough."

Only in front of his own family could he be so relaxed and at ease, without having to put on airs as a township head.

Jiang Meizhuang poured Jiang Tao a cup of tea and said smugly:

"Of course, our Xiangmanlou Restaurant is now the number one private restaurant in Taoyuan County."

“If other people come into my private room, they’ll inevitably spend tens of yuan.”

"Now, I'm using this opportunity specifically to entertain you, Mayor Jiang."

Hearing his sister's words, Jiang Tao smiled and said, "Oh, so, Mr. Jiang, you're asking me to do something very important."

"Don't worry, no matter how big the problem is, I can handle it for you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Meizhuang chuckled, then said to Jiang Tao:

"Brother, you can say that to my face, but don't tell anyone outside, or people will say you're abusing your power for personal gain."

"Of course, once I leave this room, I won't utter a single word of such a thing," Jiang Tao said with a light smile.

At this moment, Liang Ming suddenly thought of something and asked Jiang Tao:

"Brother Jiang, I wonder how the radio factory I suggested you set up in Shitou Township is progressing?"

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Jiang Tao's smile faded, and his expression turned serious.

“Liang Ming, even if you didn’t ask, I’d like to talk to you about this.”

"To be honest, things aren't going very smoothly with the radio factory project."

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming asked with some doubt, "Is the progress not going well? Is it a problem with the assembly technology, or something else?"

"Assembly technology is not a problem. During this period, I also learned about the components of a radio. It is nothing more than a speaker, diode, transistor, ferrite rod, and the casing assembled together."

Jiang Tao said:

"I have contacted the workers at the radio factory in the city and asked them to help train the workers on assembly over the weekend, in exchange for payment."

"If the assembly technology is fine, then where did the problem occur?" Liang Ming countered.

“Our Shitou Township has the space, the labor force, and we can solve the technical problems. In terms of funding, you and my sister have also invested. Logically speaking, it should be easy to build a radio assembly factory.”

Jiang Tao gave a wry smile and said.

It turns out that Shitou Township could be considered an impoverished township.

The township doesn't have much money to begin with. After repairing roads, subsidizing the schools in a few villages, and maintaining the normal operation of a few township collective units, there's not much money left.

Now that there's finally a profitable private enterprise in the village, all the villagers should support it.

However, many of the villagers in Shitou Township are illiterate and have rigid mindsets, unwilling to change.

When they heard that the township was going to build a private factory and use their land, they were extremely unwilling.

Some villagers even took the opportunity to make exorbitant demands for large sums of compensation for the land expropriation.

At present, Shitou Township has very little money in its accounts, so it can't afford much compensation for land expropriation.

The matter of building a radio assembly factory has been stalled for a long time.

Jiang Tao had been working on it for a while but hadn't made any progress, and he was getting a little tired.

At this point, Jiang Tao sighed heavily and said, "Liang Ming, why is my job so difficult to carry out?"

“They clearly had ideas for money-making projects that could help the villagers find jobs and have enough to eat, but they just couldn’t grasp the concept…”

Hearing this, Liang Ming also learned about Shitou Township and the problems Jiang Tao was facing.

Ultimately, the problems faced by the villagers of Shitou Township are the same as those encountered when Liangji Canned Food Factory expanded and acquired land from Sengao Village.

Liang Ming has already solved this problem once and has a complete solution.

Seeing Jiang Tao in a difficult position, he immediately smiled and said:

“Brother Jiang Tao, it’s not difficult to successfully build a radio assembly factory. I have a way to get the villagers of Shitou Township to cooperate with your work happily.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tao's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Liang Ming, do you have a solution?"
