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

"I heard that the owner of the Golden Winery hasn't arrived yet; the deputy director is receiving everyone now."

The fat businessman shook his head and sighed.

"Since the boss isn't here, what's the point of talking to the deputy factory manager?"

Liang Ming countered with a question.

"Who knows when the boss will arrive? Right now, only the deputy factory manager is coming. We'll definitely talk to the deputy factory manager first."

"Even if the deputy factory director has a good impression of me, then the trip won't have been in vain."

The fat businessman explained.

Upon hearing the fat businessman's words, Liang Ming's face showed a look of sudden realization.

Immediately, he turned to the fat merchant and asked:

"Are you here to discuss cooperation as well?"

"It's not really a negotiation, is it?" the portly businessman said with an awkward smile.

"Most of them came to discuss investing, but I know I don't have that kind of background."

"I'm here to order a batch of Golden Wine from the Golden Winery to sell in my shop."

"I don't need a large quantity, just about ten bottles, purely for show."

"If anyone comes into my shop and sees that I have Golden Wine, it will enhance our shop's reputation, wouldn't you say?"

Hearing the fat businessman's words, Liang Ming nodded and said, "You're quite clever."

The fat businessman was right. Although their Golden Winery was newly established, it was not short of funds.

He can play by himself.

Other grassroots businessmen might worry that once their factories grow big, they will be targeted by powerful figures, but Liang Ming has no such concerns.

After all, the Golden Winery has the backing of the Shitou Township government.

And Jiang Tao, the mayor of Shitou Township, is his brother-in-law.

Although Liang Ming didn't know what Jiang Meizhuang's parents did, seeing that Jiang Tao was only in his early thirties and had already become the township head, it was clear that their family was not ordinary.

It can be said that his Golden Winery will become the Jiang family's money bag in the future.

With the Jiang family protecting him, he really wasn't afraid of anyone in his small territory of Taoyuan Township.

"I've agreed to your order for these dozen or so bottles of Golden Wine," Liang Ming said, patting the portly merchant on the shoulder.

Hearing Liang Ming's words, the fat businessman said with a wry smile, "You're not the owner of the Golden Winery, how can you make decisions for them?"

“I really can make that decision!” Liang Ming smiled and said.

After saying that, Liang Ming walked around the crowd and headed towards the director's office at the Golden Winery.

When the merchants in line saw Liang Ming's actions, they immediately started shouting.

"What are you doing? Everyone's in line, are you trying to cut in line?"

"Hurry up and get to the back of the line!"

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming said, "Excuse me, I need to speak with Liang Wen."

Upon hearing this, the merchants showed no sign of backing down, saying:

"Everyone in line here has something to discuss with Deputy Factory Director Liang Wen, so hurry up and get in line!"

Hearing what these merchants said, Liang Ming said helplessly:

"I know you've come to talk to the owner of the Golden Winery about investing, but you don't need to. The Golden Winery doesn't accept investments. You can go back now."

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, the merchants immediately became displeased.

"What's wrong with you? We're here to discuss business. We haven't even started talking yet, and you're already cursing us to fail?"

"That's right. And what does our investment in the Golden Winery have to do with you? All you need to know is that you should hurry up and get in line."

Seeing that these merchants were still persistent, Liang Ming looked helpless.

Worried that Liang Ming had angered the crowd, the fat businessman quickly waved to him and said, "Young man, come and line up quickly, don't cause trouble."

The portly businessman Liang Ming cast a friendly glance at him, but did not go over.

Just then, Liang Wen also heard the commotion outside. He came out of the factory manager's office, frowned, and said:

"What's going on? Didn't we tell you that if you want to line up to talk to our factory about cooperation, then talk properly and don't make a scene and affect our workers' production of Golden Wine?"

Upon seeing Liang Wen emerge, several sycophantic businessmen immediately pointed at Liang Ming and said, "Director Liang, it's not that we want to make a scene, it's that this kid is trying to cut in line, and we're stopping him."

"Yes, he even stood up for your Golden Winery and told us to go back, so we said a few words to him."

After the businessmen finished speaking, they felt they had been clever.

Based on these few words alone, he might win Liang Wen's favor, right?

Unexpectedly, upon hearing the merchants' words, Liang Wen turned to look at Liang Ming, paused in surprise, and said:

"Boss, why are you here?"

The two had agreed beforehand that when there were other people in the factory, they would address each other by their job titles.

In private, we only use the term "relative" to refer to each other.

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming helplessly shrugged and said, "I just wanted to see how business was going at the winery, but I didn't expect to see so many bosses queuing up as soon as I arrived."

"I asked around and found out they wanted to discuss cooperation and invest in the company."

“I told them to go back, but they wouldn’t listen.”

The merchants were stunned when Liang Ming said this.

They all stared blankly at Liang Ming.

Who would have thought that such a young man would actually be the owner of the Golden Winery?

For a moment, many people looked at Liang Ming with envy.

The Golden Winery has already caught the attention of the county leaders; it will be difficult for them not to become wealthy in the future.

This young man, at such a young age, already owns such a large winery; his future is limitless.

The portly businessman also looked at Liang Ming with some surprise.

"He's actually the owner of the Golden Winery?"

The fat merchant's face lit up with excitement at the thought of Liang Ming's promise to give him a batch of Golden Wine.

"Boss, I'm a businessman from the next village. I heard your Golden Winery is newly established and must be short of funds. I'd like to invest..."

"Yes, yes, we can invest and become a minority shareholder."

"Boss, name your price. How much would you like us to take a stake in the company?"

After the businessmen learned that Liang Ming was the boss, they all crowded around him, asking him questions in a fawning manner.

Liang Ming had already said he wouldn't discuss investing, but when these businessmen still shamelessly asked, he simply took a step back and didn't respond.

"What are you doing? Our boss said that our Golden Winery does not need any investment. If you are here to talk about investing, then go back."

At this moment, Liang Wen stepped forward, blocking Liang Ming's path, and addressed the merchants.

As the deputy director of the Golden Winery, dealing with foreign businessmen was also part of his job.

Faced with Liang Wen's tough stance, many businessmen, knowing they couldn't get shares, could only leave cursing and swearing.

Some businessmen even cursed the Golden Distillery, saying it wouldn't last long.

Liang Wen was furious at these curses, his face turning ugly.

Liang Ming didn't care about any of that.

In the blink of an eye, a large number of businessmen left the Golden Winery.

Only seven or eight merchants remained on the site.

This included the fat businessman.

"Aren't you leaving?"

Seeing this, Liang Ming asked with a puzzled look.
