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

Song Qiang never expected that these shop assistants would be so bold as to lay a hand on him.

"Song the Skinflint, we don't need our wages anymore, we'll keep them for your medical expenses."

The shop assistants were enraged and surrounded Song Qiang, giving him a severe beating.

"Don't hit my brother! Don't hit him!"

Upon seeing this, Song Mei immediately called out.

But these shop assistants were already enraged, so how could they possibly listen to her?

If it weren't for the fact that she was a woman, he probably would have hit her too.

"Why did they start fighting again?"

Hearing the commotion, Liang Ming came out of the braised duck shop and saw that Song Qiang had been beaten by the roast meat shop employees. A look of confusion appeared on his face.

"Liang Ming, please save my brother, I beg you."

When Song Mei saw Liang Ming come out, she looked at him as if he were her savior and asked for his help.

If it were in his past life, Liang Ming might have softened his heart upon seeing Song Mei's pitiful expression.

But in this life, he won't do anything foolish.

In his past life, Liang Ming went on a trip with the Song family. At the scenic spot, Song Qiang saw a beautiful girl and took the initiative to chat with her, even trying to hold her hand.

When the girl's boyfriend saw this, he grabbed him and beat him up.

Song Mei did the same, begging Liang Ming for help.

Liang Ming also went up to break up the fight, but unexpectedly Song Qiang took the opportunity to slip away. Since they couldn't beat up Song Qiang, the group beat up Liang Ming instead.

Afterwards, Liang Ming stayed in the hospital for a week, while the Song family spent the same week eating, drinking, and having fun in the area. During this time, not a single person came to visit him.

After Liang Ming was discharged from the hospital, Song Qiang took the bills for the week's food, drinks, and entertainment to Liang Ming for reimbursement.

Meanwhile, Song's parents were even more sarcastic, saying that Liang Ming was physically weak, that he had been beaten up and spent a week in the hospital, and that his promise to accompany them on a trip was completely useless.

Song Mei also said to Liang Ming with disdain, "Liang Ming, my parents already have a bad impression of you. I'm giving you this opportunity to repair your relationship with my parents."

"I didn't expect you to be so useless. You really disappoint me."

Because of this incident, Liang Ming was heartbroken for quite some time.

At that time, Liang Ming even doubted whether he had done enough.

Only after being reborn did Liang Ming realize this.

Not everyone is human.

Let go of your obsessions and just do what you believe is right.

"I'm sorry, I'm too weak to save your brother."

"What if I get beaten up by your shop assistant while I'm saving your brother? Who will be held responsible for that?"

Will you reimburse my medical expenses?

Liang Ming refused.

Upon hearing this, Song Mei quickly said, "Liang Ming, as long as you rescue my brother, I'll cover your medical expenses."

"My brother and I will thank you."

Liang Ming waved his hand and refused, saying, "Let's forget it. I'm not going to hurt myself for an outsider."

"My body and hair are a gift from my parents, and I cannot let them worry."

After saying that, Liang Ming ignored Song Mei, turned around, got on his tricycle, and left Liang Hei Ya Shop.

"Liang Ming, do you really have no regard for our past relationship at all...?"

Seeing Liang Ming's heartless departure, Song Mei gritted her teeth and said with a wronged expression.

“Song Mei, I think you should call the police right away and have the officers from the police station come again. If it’s too late, your brother will be seriously injured.”

Liang Juan came out and reminded Song Mei.

Upon hearing Liang Juan's words, Song Mei finally realized what was happening and immediately went to call the police.

Soon, the police officers arrived again and were surprised to see the roast meat shop employee beating Song Qiang.

After separating the people, the comrade in charge asked what was going on.

However, after learning that the employees of these roast meat shops had been injured while protecting the shops and wanted to ask Song Qiang for medical expenses for their work-related injuries, Song Qiang not only refused to pay but also demanded that they compensate for the shop's losses, they were all somewhat dumbfounded.

No wonder employees resort to violence when you're a boss like that.

Such a heartless boss would have been considered an evil capitalist and would have been condemned and denounced in earlier years.

The final solution was that the shop employees who beat Song Qiang were released, and both parties shared the medical expenses.

In this era, workers held a very high status.

The slogan "The working class leads everything" was not given lightly.

Song Qiang was beaten because he owed his workers wages and exploited them; being beaten was the least of his worries.

When Song Qiang saw that his shop had been vandalized and he had been beaten twice, and that he couldn't do anything about it, he burst into tears of grievance.

……

Liang Ming was unaware of what was happening behind the scenes at the roast meat shop.

After leaving the roast meat shop, he visited the cannery and the bicycle factory.

Seeing the workers in both factories working diligently to produce canned goods and bicycles, they showed satisfied expressions on their faces.

The cannery workers, in particular, were working with great enthusiasm.

Clearly, the Dragon Boat Festival gifts from the factory greatly boosted the workers' morale.

After inspecting the two factories, Liang Ming then went to the Golden Winery.

These past few days have been a crucial period for the Golden Winery.

Yesterday, the Golden Winery supplied Golden Wine to the county's state-run restaurant and the county's supply and marketing cooperative.

The sales response on the first day will greatly determine how much Golden Wine these two large companies will order from Golden Winery every day thereafter.

When Liang Ming arrived at the gate of the Golden Winery, he was surprised to find many diesel tricycles, tractors, and motorcycles parked in front of his own Golden Winery.

"Why are there so many people?"

Liang Ming was puzzled.

As he entered the distillery, he saw many businessmen carrying satchels standing in a queue on the factory grounds, heading towards the distillery office.

"Hey bro, what's going on? Why are so many people gathered here?"

Liang Ming patted the shoulder of a kind-looking, plump businessman and asked curiously.

The portly merchant was a kind and warm-hearted person. Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, a look of doubt appeared on his face, and he asked:

"Didn't you come here to order Golden Wine?"

Upon hearing the fat merchant's words, Liang Ming retorted, "Are you all here to order Golden Wine?"

“Of course!” the fat businessman replied.

"I heard that this Golden Winery was only recently established and used to be just a small liquor workshop. How come so many people are suddenly buying from it?"

Liang Ming asked in confusion.

"Young man, it seems you really have no idea what's going on."

The portly businessman smiled and explained enthusiastically to Liang Ming:

"It all started yesterday when several county leaders came down to inspect the county's state-run restaurant..."

After hearing the fat businessman's explanation, Liang Ming's face also showed a look of surprise.

It turns out that a large meeting was held in the county yesterday, and in the evening, the county organized a dinner party where several of the county's top leaders ate at the county's state-run restaurant.

During the event, Qian Jian brought out Golden Wine to entertain the county leaders.

After tasting the Golden Wine, several county leaders praised it highly.

Especially after learning that this "Golden Wine" actually has the gimmick of gold, one can't help but admire the shrewdness of the distillery owner.

Qian Jian probably owed Liang Ming a lot of favors, so he wanted to repay them.

They immediately said that this Golden Wine was produced by a local liquor company in Taoyuan County, and came from Shitou Township in Taoyuan County.

Upon hearing this, several county leaders immediately said that since the Golden Winery was a local enterprise in the county, it should definitely receive strong support.

Such a good liquor product, if it can be successfully developed, could not only boost the economy of a township, but even help the economy of the county.

As soon as this news got out, all the merchants in the county were mobilized.

These businessmen have a keen sense of smell; they knew that this Golden Winery was bound to grow into a large enterprise.

Sure enough, the very next morning, they came to the Golden Winery to discuss cooperation.

"It's already noon, and these people still haven't finished talking?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming sighed.
