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

"What? Chen Niu, are you not confident in your abilities?"

Seeing Chen Niu's surprised expression, Liang Ming smiled and asked in return.

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Chen Niu quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, no, Boss Liang, I have the confidence and determination to do this well."

"You can rest assured that you can leave the matter of opening the rock sugar fruit shop to me."

Hearing Chen Niu's words, Liang Ming smiled and told him to wait for him at the door.

Then, he went back into the house, took out a wad of cash, and handed it to Chen Niu.

"Here's 1000 yuan. Here's the money. How long will it take for the rock candy fruit shop to open?"

Liang Ming asked the question directly.

Even though Chen Niu was prepared, he still looked surprised when Liang Ming handed him so much money.

He hadn't seen so much money in a long time.

But soon, he came to his senses.

Chen Niu knew that this was his only chance to turn his life around.

The boss in front of me is kind-hearted, broad-minded, bold yet meticulous, and also has a good business sense.

Even if you lose your sugar factory job, you still have the opportunity to get rich by working for a boss like that.

Now that the boss has given me the opportunity to open a rock sugar fruit shop, I must seize it.

As long as you leave a good impression on your boss, why worry about your future?

After taking the money, he thought seriously for a minute, then said solemnly:

"In just half a month, the rock sugar fruit shop can be opened."

After all, finding a shop and doing some basic renovations both take time.

Half a month is the fastest time possible.

"Okay, then it'll be half a month. Show me your abilities in half a month."

Liang Ming patted Chen Niu on the shoulder and said seriously.

Liang Ming's decision gave Chen Niu tremendous motivation.

A man, after experiencing betrayal in his marriage and on the verge of being unable to support his children, suddenly finds a benefactor who not only solves his financial difficulties but also offers to help him become wealthy.

Such a person can no longer be described as a benefactor.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a benefactor.

It is said that a fine horse meets a discerning eye, but fine horses are common, while discerning eyes are rare.

"Chen Niu, I almost forgot to tell you, the manager of this rock candy fruit shop owns 10% of the shares."

"As long as you stay in the store, these shares are yours."

"So, the sales revenue of the rock candy fruit shop and your income are related. Do you understand what I mean?"

At this moment, Liang Ming suddenly thought of something and said to Chen Niu.

One-tenth of the store manager's shares?

Chen Niu was stunned when he heard Liang Ming's words.

If he initially approached the business with the mindset of an employee, wanting to run the rock sugar fruit shop well...

Now, he is taking on this job as a shareholder.

He's not just making money for his boss, he's making money for himself too.

Where in the world can you find such a generous boss?

At that moment, a sentence flashed through Chen Niu's mind:

"Report your favor on the golden stage, support the Jade Dragon and die for you!"

After Chen Niu took the money and left Liangjia Village, he went to find the address of the rock sugar fruit shop.

Liang Jing then spoke, asking Liang Ming:

"Brother, aren't you afraid that Chen Niu will run away with the money if you just give him 1000 yuan like that?"

"After all, one should always be wary of others."

She also knew that Chen Niu used to be a worker in a sugar factory and was a colleague of her parents. Her parents also said that Chen Niu was a good person.

But Chen Niu was dismissed because he had committed a crime.

Betrayed by his ex-wife and having gone through so much, no one can guarantee that Chen Niu won't change.

Hearing Liang Jing's words, Liang Ming knew his sister's worries.

But he still smiled confidently and said, "If Chen Niu were alone, after going through all this, I really can't guarantee that his mentality wouldn't change and he wouldn't run away with my money."

"But he's not alone; he has three children."

Hearing her elder brother's words, Liang Jing looked puzzled: "You have three children. What does that have to do with Chen Niu running away with the money?"

Liang Jing was, after all, just a high school graduate, inexperienced in the ways of the world, and had never been married, so naturally she didn't understand these things.

Liang Ming thought for a moment and then asked Liang Jing, "Little sister, have you ever heard the story of 33 taels of silver during the Qing Dynasty?"

"What, 33 taels of silver?"

Liang Jing was puzzled as to why her older brother suddenly brought up history and asked him in return.

Liang Ming explained, "During the Qing Dynasty, the relevant departments of the Qing government conducted a detailed survey and found that the average annual income of ordinary people was only 33 taels of silver."

"In order to keep the people busy making a living and not have time to think about other things, we will use taxes or other means to ensure that the average annual expenditure of the people reaches 36 taels."

“Of this, there are 3 taels of unpaid debts every year.”

"When ordinary people are in debt, they will work harder and have less time to think about rebellion, and society will be stable."

At this point, Liang Ming paused.

Liang Jing was still somewhat confused when she heard this.

"Brother, what does this have to do with whether Chen Niu will run off with your money?"

"Also, you just mentioned that he has three children. What's the connection between that and..."

At this point, Liang Jing suddenly froze.

"Brother, are you saying that Chen Niu has three children to raise, so he doesn't have time to think about bad things and only wants to make money to raise his children?"

Liang Ming smiled at Liang Jing and interrupted, "Little sister, I didn't say that."

"If other people want to have more children, that's their choice."

"Besides, your brother here isn't the Qing Dynasty. I won't make Chen Niu work himself to the bone and still not earn any money."

“As long as Chen Niu stays with me and runs this rock candy fruit business well, he can support not only these three children, but even ten or eight more.”

Hearing Liang Ming's confident words, Liang Jing did not refute them.

She knew that her older brother had the ability.

All the villagers who followed their elder brother in doing business are now living a good life.

Every day, people in the village are building houses.

Every day, you can hear villagers riding brand-new bicycles, ringing their bells as they enter the village.

In many male villagers who had been single for years, matchmakers would come to their homes to help them find spouses.

Today, Liangjia Village is undoubtedly the happiest village in the surrounding area.

Village chief Liang Jianguo's face is always full of smiles.

……

As they were talking, the two got into the tricycle and left Liangjia Village.

Liang Ming thought about going to town to check on the production situation of Liang's Canned Food Factory.

The lychees in Liangjia Village have been almost completely harvested recently.

The villagers have already started picking longans and other fruits.

When Liang Ming and his group arrived at Liang's Canned Food Factory, they saw the workers working enthusiastically, and every worker was highly motivated.

"Brother, the workers in your factory are all very motivated."

Liang Jing was also caught up in the atmosphere and couldn't help but say something.

Liang Ming was also somewhat surprised. Although the working atmosphere in his factory was indeed good, he had never seen such a passionate state of mind before.

"Boss Liang!"

At this moment, Wang Ren, knowing that Liang Ming had come to the factory, also came out of his office.

"Director Wang, the workers are very enthusiastic today," Liang Ming said to Wang Ren.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ren chuckled sheepishly and said, "Because the Dragon Boat Festival gifts arrived, which included three color TVs..."

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming's face immediately showed a look of sudden realization.
