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

"If you want to learn, you can live with me in the city for the next few months, and I will personally teach you every day."

"Wait until the college entrance exam results come out before you go back to think about choosing a university."

Upon hearing this, Liang Jing replied without hesitation, "Sister Meizhuang, I am willing to learn from you."

She knew that her older brother's business acumen was entirely innate and could not be learned.

However, Jiang Meizhuang's business acumen was earned through years of hard work and experience.

Moreover, the restaurant is a melting pot of all sorts of people, making it a better place to learn.

Hearing Liang Jing's words, Jiang Meizhuang smiled, took Liang Jing's hand, and said:

"Okay, Xiaojing, then you can come with me!"

Seeing this, Liang Ming gave a helpless smile and said:

"Sister Meizhuang, you've already stolen my little sister away."

Before Jiang Meizhuang could speak, Liang Jing had already spoken first:

"Brother, I'll be staying with Sister-in-law Da for a while. Please go back and tell our parents."

Jiang Meizhuang was overjoyed to hear Liang Jing call her "sister-in-law".

"I know, you should learn from your sister-in-law and not embarrass me."

Liang Ming chuckled:

“If you don’t do well, your sister-in-law will spank you, and I won’t care.”

"Go away, go away. My sister-in-law is so smart and gets good grades. I'm too busy spoiling her to hit her."

Jiang Meizhuang rolled her eyes at Liang Jing and said irritably.

“That’s right, my sister-in-law would never hit me.” Liang Jing hugged Jiang Meizhuang’s waist and said to Liang Ming.

Seeing how quickly these two women became friends, Liang Ming couldn't help but marvel at how fast female friendships could develop.

However, Liang Ming was also happy that his younger sister could learn business from Jiang Meizhuang.

Jiang Meizhuang is more meticulous in her work, making her the perfect person to take care of her younger sister.

After leaving the Xiangmanlou Restaurant in the county, Liang Ming drove back to Liangjia Village.

It was already evening when I returned to the courtyard.

Mr. and Mrs. Liang were already preparing dinner in the kitchen.

In the courtyard, Second Uncle Liang Wen was sitting on a bamboo chair, smoking a pipe.

Upon seeing Liang Ming return, his second uncle, Liang Wen, showed a look of surprise and delight, and said:

"Xiaoming, you're finally back! Your second uncle has been waiting for you at home for ages."

Upon hearing his second uncle Liang Wen's words, Liang Ming seemed to realize something and said:

"Second Uncle, it seems there's some progress on the deal to contract the liquor factory?"

Seeing that Liang Ming had guessed the purpose of his trip so quickly, Liang Wen smiled and nodded, saying:

"That's right. After my unremitting efforts over this period of time, the owner of the liquor factory in Stone Town has agreed to sell me the liquor formula and the entire liquor workshop."

"This is a long-established baijiu workshop with a long history and excellent baijiu tastes great. After we take over, we will build a factory, standardize the baijiu production, and then we can start selling baijiu and making money."

Hearing his second uncle Liang Wen's words, Liang Ming smiled.

Even if you buy a liquor factory, making money from it won't be an easy task.

After all, there are many liquor workshops, and almost every city has a somewhat famous one.

In addition, some liquor brands with a history of hundreds or thousands of years have captured a large share of the market.

However, my second uncle was very enthusiastic about starting his own business, so I naturally couldn't discourage him.

"Second Uncle, tell me the details about that liquor factory?"

Liang Ming asked with a smile.

He had previously asked his second uncle to conduct research on the liquor factory.

Looking back now, I think I've gathered all the information.

Upon hearing this, Second Uncle Liang Wen didn't waste any words and said:

"The liquor produced by the distillery is pure grain liquor, brewed with rice, and it is only of the soy sauce aroma type."

"**They used relatively old jars of wine.**"

“The daily sales of a liquor distillery are between 300 and 500.”

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming countered with, "What was the profit that day?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Liang Wen gave a sheepish smile and said, "After deducting manufacturing costs and workers' wages, the profit is only a few dozen yuan."

Liang Ming was not surprised to hear the result.

It's a small, relatively unknown winery that relies on its regular customers for business, resulting in very thin profit margins.

Liang Ming even felt that the tens of yuan profit his second uncle mentioned per day was only under the condition of good business.

If business is bad, the daily profit may only be a dozen or so yuan.

"How much money does the owner of that liquor distillery want to sell his distillery and recipe?"

Liang Ming did not expose his second uncle's exaggerated words, but instead asked a question.

Seeing Liang Ming's sharp gaze, Liang Wen knew that his nephew knew he was exaggerating, but he just didn't expose him.

Therefore, he dared not hide it any longer and frankly said:

"The owner of that liquor workshop offered 5000 yuan to buy his liquor recipe, the liquor workshop, and all the workers in the workshop."

At this point, Liang Wen was still a little embarrassed and said:

“I tried to negotiate the price with him, but he insisted on 5000 yuan before he would sell to me.”

5000 yuan is not a small amount these days.

It would take an ordinary worker more than ten years of hard work to earn this much money.

The owner of that liquor workshop was asking for so much money, which was indeed a bit excessive.

"This price isn't cheap, but if the wine tastes good enough, it's not unacceptable."

Liang Ming smiled calmly and said.

For him, as long as the product quality is good, coupled with good marketing and promotion, it's all that matters.

In this day and age, there is no business that is not easy to do.

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Second Uncle Liang Wen quickly took out two jars of baijiu from beside him and said:

“I guessed you might want to try the taste of baijiu, so I brought two jars with me.”

Liang Ming glanced at the contents of the two jars of baijiu and said with a wry smile:

"No wonder no one buys such an old product."

As he spoke, he lifted the oil paper and smelled the aroma of the liquor.

The wine has a rich aroma and a hint of rice fragrance.

Just by smelling the aroma, you can tell it's a good baijiu.

"It smells good, Uncle. Shall we try some later?"

Liang Ming said.

Just then, Liang Min and his wife came out of the kitchen carrying food.

"Son, why are you all alone? Where's Xiaojing?"

Seeing that only Liang Ming had returned, Li Lan asked in confusion.

“I left her with Jiang Meizhuang to learn how to do business. She’s been staying there for the past few months.”

Liang Ming briefly recounted what had happened during the day.

When Li Lan, the mother, heard that Liang Jing was with Jiang Meizhuang, she was also very happy and said:

“Learning business from Meizhuang? That’s a good thing. It’s good for her and her sister-in-law to get to know each other better.”

"Xiao Ming, it's rare for your second uncle to come to our house, so you'd better have a few drinks with him tonight," Liang Min said to Liang Ming with a smile.

"Of course," Liang Ming said with a smile.

During dinner, Liang Ming also opened the two jars of baijiu and drank with his second uncle Liang Wen and his father Liang Min.

All three of them thought the liquor tasted good.

Liang Ming immediately decided to invest and buy the liquor factory!
