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

"Boss, do you have any cost-effective farm tricycles here?"

Without wasting words, Liang Ming immediately asked the farm machinery owner.

"A high-performance agricultural tricycle with a good price-performance ratio?" The farm machinery shop owner was taken aback when he heard this.

But he quickly understood Liang Ming's meaning and asked in return:

"Young man, you want a used one?"

Liang Ming nodded and said, "My factory needs a few agricultural tricycles to transport goods, so it doesn't matter if they're new or not, as long as the quality is good and the price is right."

His words conveyed several pieces of information to the other party.

He wanted to count a large number of agricultural tricycles.

Secondly, as long as there are no problems, it doesn't matter if it has been driven before.

Thirdly, the price just needs to be reasonable.

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, the farm machinery owner thought for a moment and then said:

"Boss, I do have a few second-hand farm tricycles here, and they're all 90% new."

"Their previous owners had only driven them for about six months before selling them back to me for various reasons."

"But you can rest assured, these tricycles are all of excellent quality and there are no problems with them."

At this point, the farm machinery owner showed an embarrassed expression and said:

"If there's a downside, it's that even secondhand farm tricycles aren't cheap."

Hearing the farm machinery owner's words, Liang Ming could understand.

In those days, there weren't many options for gasoline-powered cars, and scarcity drove up prices, so even secondhand gasoline-powered cars weren't much cheaper.

"Boss, just tell me, how much is a used farm tricycle?"

Liang Ming looked directly at the farm machinery owner and asked.

The farm machinery shop owner didn't waste any words and frankly said, "Well, it depends on the brand. Let's look and discuss as we go."

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming nodded in agreement.

Immediately, the farm machinery owner led Liang Ming and Liang Jing to the three farm tricycles.

"This Feicai brand tricycle was built at the end of last year. The previous owner was a pig farm owner, and the rear cargo bed was used to transport pigs. It used to have a bit of a pig smell, but it has been cleaned now."

"New vehicle, this Gao Cai brand tricycle costs 3500 yuan, but now it's only 2800 yuan."

"And this Shuangfeng brand tricycle has been driven for more than half a year. The previous owner used it to transport feed, but now he has switched to a Changhe minivan. The new car price of this vehicle was 3000 yuan, but now it costs 2500 yuan."

"And this Wuzheng brand agricultural tricycle... it's only 2300 yuan now."

After the farm machinery owner finished introducing the condition of the vehicles, Liang Ming also inspected the condition of the three vehicles.

These diesel tricycles are all in good quality, just as the farm machinery owner said, and they are all still very new.

The price is also several hundred yuan cheaper than a new car.

It's fair to say that it offers great value for money.

However, at that time, the used car industry had not yet taken off.

Many ordinary people don't like to buy second-hand items.

They would rather spend a few hundred yuan more to buy a new farm tricycle, because it would make them look good.

For some ordinary people, buying a second-hand agricultural tricycle is no different from collecting scraps.

“These three farm tricycles are in very good condition. After they are washed, some people would believe them if they were brand new.”

Liang Ming smiled and said.

Upon hearing this, the farm machinery shop owner tentatively asked, "Boss, which one do you want to buy?"

"I'll take all three of these farm tricycles," Liang Ming said.

"You want them all?" The farm machinery owner looked surprised upon hearing this.

Although these three farm tricycles are second-hand, the three of them together cost 7600 yuan!

This young man in front of me, he just wants it all?

"What, is there a problem?" Liang Ming asked back.

"No, no problem!" the farm machinery shop owner quickly replied, "These three farm tricycles cost a total of 7600 yuan. If you want them all, I'll give you a discount and it'll only cost 7500 yuan."

This is a big client; he has to treat him well.

Who knows, this young man might bring in even more big orders in the future.

Hearing the farm machinery owner's words, Liang Ming nodded in satisfaction.

Don't underestimate the discount of just 100 yuan; it's equivalent to two or three months' wages for an average worker.

"Boss, could you arrange for someone to deliver these three farm tricycles to my door?"

After making the payment, Liang Ming said to the farm machinery shop owner:

"I can't drive that many cars by myself."

Upon hearing this, the farm machinery owner nodded immediately and said, "Yes, absolutely. Where do you need it delivered to? I'll have the machine driven there in a bit."

"If it's in the county town, we can deliver it today. If it's in a more remote village, it will have to be tomorrow morning."

At this point, the farm machinery owner explained somewhat embarrassedly, "After all, if it's a village that's a bit far away, it's inconvenient for my colleague to drive the truck there and then take the country bus back..."

Liang Ming nodded and said, "It's not far, it's just at Liangji Canned Food Factory in Taoyuan Township. If you have your worker send the car there now, you can still take a country bus back to the county town."

After hearing the address Liang Ming gave, the farm machinery owner nodded in agreement.

After all the formalities were completed, the farm machinery owner had his assistant deliver the vehicle to Liangji Canned Food Factory in Taoyuan Township.

After thinking about it, Liang Ming decided to drive ahead and lead the way for the guys at the agricultural machinery market.

After all, he had spent several thousand yuan to buy the diesel trucks, so he was determined to see them enter the cannery before he felt at ease.

Led by Liang Ming, several employees from the agricultural machinery market also drove their vehicles into Liang's Canned Food Factory.

"Boss, we've delivered the car. Could you please sign the form?"

One of the employees held a form in his hand and asked Liang Ming to sign it.

After Liang Ming signed the document, he said to the workers, "Masters, you've come all the way from the county town to deliver the car to our door. You must be tired. It's almost dinnertime. Why don't you stay for dinner?"

Upon hearing this, the men exchanged glances, shook their heads, and said, "No, we still need to catch our country bus back to the county town. Thank you for your kindness, boss."

Seeing this, Liang Ming did not insist, but simply gave each of them a pack of Liqun cigarettes.

The men were all visibly excited as they accepted the Liqun cigarettes.

They wouldn't normally be willing to smoke such good cigarettes.

After thanking Liang Ming profusely, the workers left Liang's Canned Food Factory.

At this moment, Wang Ren and Wang Mei also heard the commotion and came out of the factory.

"Boss, you bought the farm tricycle so quickly?"

Wang Mei looked at the three farm tricycles on the factory's open space with some surprise and said.

Inside the factory, several drivers responsible for transporting goods beamed with delight when they saw the three agricultural tricycles, jumping around them excitedly.

"This concerns the factory's business; if it can be dealt with today, it can't be delayed until tomorrow."

Liang Ming smiled and said.

Wang Ren was also tempted by the three farm tricycles, considering that he himself only commuted to get off work by bicycle.

"Boss Liang, how much did these farm tricycles cost?"
