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

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, the fat merchant spoke first, chuckling awkwardly:

"Mr. Liang, we're not here to discuss investing. We're just here to order a batch of Golden Wine to sell."

"I think you shouldn't turn down business that's been offered to you, right?"

The other businessmen nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, that's right, we're here to order Golden Wine."

"Boss Liang, we hope you can sell us some Golden Wine."

"We only want Golden Wine. If possible, we hope to reach a long-term cooperation agreement with your Golden Winery."

Upon hearing what the fat merchant and the others said, Liang Ming smiled.

It seems that these fat businessmen are the smart ones.

Know what you can have and what you can't have.

Liang Ming was also very happy to do business with these shrewd businessmen.

"Since you're here to discuss the supply of Golden Wine, then come in!"

“Let’s sit down and talk.”

Immediately, Liang Ming spoke to the merchants.

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, the businessmen all smiled.

It seems they made the right bet.

The Golden Winery is currently thriving, so how could its owner possibly be willing to partner with someone else in business?

If we can't form a joint venture, we can become partners in the Golden Winery and still make money.

It now seems that they have won the favor of the owner of the Golden Distillery.

After entering the office, Liang Ming asked Liang Wen to make tea for all the bosses.

Immediately, Liang Ming cut to the chase and asked:

"How would you like to cooperate? Tell me."

The businessmen looked at each other, unsure who should speak first.

Seeing that no one spoke up, the fat merchant stepped forward and said:

"Mr. Liang, I don't know what others think, but let me share my own thoughts."

“I hope to get a batch of Golden Wine from Golden Winery to sell back home. If possible, I hope that no other stores near me sell the same Golden Wine as me.”

Hearing the fat businessman's words, Liang Ming nodded slightly.

I didn't expect the fat businessman to develop a sense of regional protection so quickly.

Protecting the product's geographical area became a very common sales strategy in later generations.

Only one store can sell a product of the same brand in a given area.

This is done to avoid too many similar businesses competing with each other and engaging in malicious price wars.

Moreover, monopolizing similar products in a region also helps to concentrate profits.

"And you, do you think the same way?"

Liang Ming turned to look at the other merchants and asked.

Upon hearing this, the merchants exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

"That's right, that's what we think too."

"If we could limit the sale of this Golden Wine to a specific area, that would be ideal."

Upon seeing that several merchants shared the same idea, Liang Ming immediately inquired about the areas where these merchants were located.

This question was quite a coincidence.

Apart from the fat merchant who came from Taoyuan County, the other merchants all came from several nearby villages.

"You all come from different towns, so it's not impossible for you to exclusively sell our Golden Wine..."

Liang Ming slowly opened his mouth and said.

His words immediately caught the attention of the businessmen.

If they were to monopolize the sales of Golden Wine, it would be a sure-fire way to make money.

But after hearing the second half of Liang Ming's words, their hearts tightened again.

They knew that Liang Ming definitely had something else to say.

"Mr. Liang, please speak frankly. We have come with the utmost sincerity."

At this moment, it was the fat merchant who spoke up, addressing Liang Ming.

"Yes, yes, we are all sincere."

"Mr. Liang, just say what you have to say."

Other merchants echoed this sentiment.

Seeing that everyone was so agreeable, Liang Ming didn't waste any words: "However, allowing you to monopolize the sale of Golden Wine will not maximize the profits for our Golden Winery."

"For our Golden Winery to be profitable, we definitely hope that more distributors will purchase goods from us, the better."

"Don't you agree?"

The portly businessman chuckled and said, "Mr. Liang, as we just said, you can just say what you want to say directly, there's no need to beat around the bush."

Liang Ming then realized that he had started going in circles again.

He immediately got straight to the point: "You can monopolize the sale of Golden Wine in a region, but the Golden Winery will take 3% of the profits!"

Liang Ming's words caused an uproar among the businessmen.

A 3% profit margin is no small amount.

They have already done their research; the ex-factory price of this Golden Winery's Golden Wine is 20 yuan, and the suggested retail price is 25 yuan.

In other words, the profit from this bottle of golden wine is 5 yuan.

A 3% profit margin means taking 1.5 yuan away.

If they accept Liang Ming's conditions, it's like selling a bottle of gold liquor for only 3.5 yuan in profit.

Will they refuse?

Obviously not.

After all, the Golden Winery is now a privately owned enterprise officially recognized by the county.

Subsequent support policies will certainly come in a targeted manner.

The rise of the Golden Distillery is a foregone conclusion.

If they seize this opportunity and become associated with the Golden Winery, they will surely have a continuous stream of wealth in the future.

In other words, no matter how expensive the tickets are, they have to pay for them. Once they board this big ship, they don't have to worry about not being able to go anywhere.

"No problem, Mr. Liang, 30% profit it is!"

The portly merchant spoke first, saying:

"As long as I can secure the operating rights for Golden Wine in a private company in Taoyuan County, I'm willing to give up this profit."

The fat businessman's statement made others restless as well.

"Boss Liang, we are also willing to offer discounts."

"That's right, I'm also willing to make concessions!"

In an instant, all the businessmen in the office chose to offer discounts.

Seeing that the businessmen had agreed, Liang Ming didn't waste any more words and immediately asked Liang Wen to prepare the contract.

He wants to sign contracts with these businessmen.

Liang Ming wants to establish a regional sales network to unite private stores in various counties under Taoyuan County.

Only in this way can his Golden Wine's reputation spread quickly.

If we rely solely on the county supply and marketing cooperative and state-run restaurants, we can sell the Golden Wine, but the process won't be very fast.

After signing the contract, every businessman showed a look of excitement.

In their view, this was a golden contract.

"Dear distributors, you are now partners of our Golden Winery, and we will fulfill your first batch of Golden Wine supply as soon as possible."

"I hope that you will do your best to sell the Golden Wine in the coming days."

"I only have two requests of you: sell Golden Wine and make Golden Wine famous!"

Upon hearing this, the fat merchant and his companions all patted their chests and assured him:

"Don't worry, Mr. Liang. We're all in this together now. The better the Golden Wine sells, the more we earn."

After the fat merchant and his group left, Liang Ming stayed at the Golden Winery, overseeing the production of Golden Wine.
