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

"Of course there is a way, and it's not difficult."

Liang Ming smiled and said to Jiang Tao,

"Oh? Liang Ming, do you have any ideas? Tell me quickly."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tao asked curiously.

Liang Ming smiled and said to Jiang Tao, "When I was expanding my cannery, I also encountered difficulties with land acquisition. Some villagers in certain villages were unwilling to have their produce expropriated."

"Or rather, they want to be expropriated at a high price."

"Our negotiations have also reached a stalemate."

"So how did you solve it?" Jiang Tao asked in return.

"The villagers don't want their land to be easily expropriated; ultimately, it's all about the money," Liang Ming analyzed.

“As long as the money is high, they will naturally be willing to be expropriated.”

“Liang Ming, as I just said, our township doesn’t have much money left…” Hearing Liang Ming’s words, Jiang Tao smiled helplessly and said.

“I know, so we don’t need to give this money in cash,” Liang Ming said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tao's face showed a look of doubt: "If you don't pay in cash, how does your cannery resolve the issue of collection?"

Liang Ming said, "We first found the village chief and villagers' representatives and promised to give them the market price."

"At the same time, once the new factory is established, priority can be given to them for the number of workers in the factory."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tao's eyes lit up, and he said, "In this way, they can get both the money from the land expropriation and a stable job, so naturally they won't object."

"Moreover, with them as examples, they can also persuade other villagers to agree to be expropriated."

Seeing that Jiang Tao understood his meaning, Liang Ming's lips curled into a smile, and he nodded, saying:

“That’s right, Brother Jiang Tao, that’s exactly what I meant.”

"Liang Ming, you really have a good business sense. You found a way to break the deadlock so easily."

Jiang Tao said to Liang Ming.

"Of course, brother, you should know whose judgment you're making."

Jiang Meizhuang, who was standing to the side, smiled slightly and said to Jiang Tao.

Hearing his sister's words, Jiang Tao smiled and said:

"Little sister, I know you're amazing."

After discussing the details of acquiring the factory site and recruiting workers with Liang Ming, Jiang Tao said goodbye to Liang Ming.

"Liang Ming, when are you and my sister coming to our house for dinner? Let me know then, and I'll definitely go back and put in a good word for you."

Before leaving, Jiang Tao said to Liang Ming.

Liang Ming and Jiang Meizhuang exchanged a glance, both smiling. He nodded and said, "Okay!"

After Jiang Tao left, Jiang Meizhuang breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"We finally convinced our elder brother to put in a good word for us."

"With my older brother's help, I'm sure I can get past my parents."

Liang Ming frowned but did not speak.

Seeing this, Jiang Meizhuang asked with some confusion, "Liang Ming, my older brother has already agreed to help us, so why do you still seem unhappy?"

"No, I think I forgot to give your older brother the liquor and Peony cigarettes," Liang Ming said.

Hearing that this was all Liang Ming was thinking about, Jiang Meizhuang was both amused and exasperated.

……

That evening, after returning home, Jiang Tao convened a meeting with township officials in the township office building to discuss the "strategy for requisitioning the site of the radio assembly factory."

The meeting quickly reached a conclusion.

The next day, following Liang Ming's advice, Jiang Tao met with the village head and village representatives of the village whose land had been expropriated.

Following the same method, the village chief and several village representatives indeed agreed to the expropriation, and they all agreed to go back and do ideological work with the other villagers.

Actually, their thoughts aren't that complicated.

As long as the land they are expropriated can be sold at a good price, and they can be given a stable factory job, they have no objections.

After returning home, the villagers and several village representatives quickly persuaded the villagers to change their minds.

In less than two days, the first private enterprise in Shitou Township, a radio assembly factory, began construction.

The first batch of workers for the radio assembly factory has already been recruited.

Jiang Tao found a small workshop and set up a temporary factory to assemble radios.

Jiang Tao also arranged for workers from the city's radio factory to provide assembly training for the workers.

In less than three days, this group of workers had basically learned the assembly process and began assembling radios.

Liang Ming learned all of this from Jiang Meizhuang.

Liang Ming admired his brother-in-law Jiang Tao's work ability.

To have completed all the work so well in such a short time.

No wonder, in his previous life, Jiang Tao didn't stay in Shitou Township for more than a few years before being transferred to the county.

……

In the blink of an eye, it's June.

The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) is just a few days away.

The atmosphere at home became tense, with everyone studying.

Every day after school, my younger sister Liang Jing would lock herself in her room and read and do practice problems non-stop.

They only come out briefly when it's time to eat.

I study until late every night.

Even so, she still felt it wasn't enough.

Liang Ming could sense that his younger sister was under a lot of mental pressure.

He recalled his past life, in which his younger sister Liang Jing failed her college entrance exam, partly due to the unfavorable family atmosphere.

Part of it is because she put too much pressure on herself.

"Son, do you think Xiaojing will go astray if she continues to study like this?"

In the courtyard, Liang Min, the father, looked at his daughter's room with some concern and asked Liang Ming in a low voice.

As he spoke, he picked up his pipe, intending to light it and take a puff.

But when he thought about his daughter's upcoming college entrance exam and the need to ensure her health so she wouldn't inhale his secondhand smoke and harm her body, he put the pipe down again.

"Yes, Xiaojing has been staying up late every night to study, not sleeping until 1 a.m., and then getting up at 5 a.m. to study. She also eats very little every day. How can her body keep up like this?"

Mother Li Lan also said with some concern.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Liang believed in their daughter's learning ability.

They felt that Liang Jing had studied so hard over the past few years, and getting into university was definitely not a problem for her.

They were more worried that their daughter's body couldn't handle studying like this.

Liang Ming was aware of his parents' worries. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"We really can't let my sister study like this anymore, otherwise her body might not be able to handle the college entrance exam."

"You need to let your younger sister get some rest."

Upon hearing this, Liang Min and his wife both looked at Liang Ming and asked;

“But Xiaojing has been locking herself in her room for the past few days. She refuses to go out and rest, no matter how many times we ask her to.”

"Do you have any ideas on how to let her rest?"

Liang Ming smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, you can leave this to me."

To ensure his younger sister could successfully take the college entrance examination, he had to help her relax both mentally and physically…
