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

Hearing Liang Ming's words, Jiang Tao smiled and said, "Liang Ming, you really have a keen eye for detail."

“That’s right, I definitely didn’t come back from the countryside.”

“I just came back from the county, and I’m carrying instructions from the county.”

As he spoke, Jiang Tao patted the briefcase in his hand.

Upon hearing Jiang Tao's words, Liang Ming and Liang Wen exchanged a glance, their eyes lighting up as if to say, "Finally, they've arrived!"

"Brother Jiang, what's the good news? Tell us quickly!"

Without wasting words, Liang Ming went straight to the point and asked Jiang Tao.

"Liang Ming, look, you're getting anxious."

Jiang Tao took a sip of tea and smiled calmly.

He knew in his heart that Liang Ming would definitely be excited to hear this news.

After all, in this day and age, it's not easy for a private enterprise to get support from above.

A few years earlier, he might have been arrested on charges of speculation and profiteering.

Those private enterprises that receive support from above will all become large enterprises in the future.

“Brother Jiang, this is a big deal for our Golden Winery. I’m definitely anxious, so please stop keeping me in suspense.”

Liang Ming said to Jiang Tao.

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Jiang Tao knew he couldn't tease him any longer, and immediately smiled and said:

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. See for yourself."

As they were talking, Jiang Tao opened his briefcase, took out an official document, and handed it to Liang Ming.

Logically speaking, these official documents should not be viewed by people who are not part of the system.

But the contents of this official document are related to the Golden Winery.

Township Head Jiang came this time to discuss the contents of the document with Liang Ming.

Instead of talking for a long time, it's better to let Liang Ming see for himself.

When Mayor Jiang handed him the documents, a look of curiosity appeared on Liang Ming's face.

His gaze fell on the red-headed document.

Upon seeing this, he was completely stunned.

"This, is this true?"

"Mayor Jiang, you're not joking, are you?"

Liang Ming couldn't help but say.

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Mayor Jiang's face showed a wry smile.

"Liang Ming, do you think I'm joking with you?"

"Besides, this is an official document with the county's seal on it. How could they possibly be joking with you?"

Hearing Jiang Tao's words, Liang Ming finally became convinced that the official document was genuine.

At the same time, a look of shock appeared on his face.

If this official document is genuine, then the future prospects of their Golden Winery are extraordinary.

Who knows, it might become Taoyuan City's "Moutai" in the future!

"Xiaoming, what does this document say?"

As soon as Liang Wen saw the words on the official document, he felt a headache coming on and turned to Liang Ming to ask.

Upon hearing Liang Wen's words, Liang Ming didn't waste any words and went straight to the point:

"It says here that the county plans to give key support to our Golden Winery. Our Golden Winery's Golden Wine will become a state-owned enterprise in Taoyuan County, and will be used to entertain guests."

"In addition, if our Golden Winery's daily sales reach a certain level, we will have the opportunity to obtain a spot at this year's Winter Canton Fair."

Upon hearing Liang Ming's explanation, Liang Wen's face showed a look of shock.

Liang Ming did indeed clearly explain the two key points of this official document.

First, this Golden Wine became the official wine served to state-owned enterprises in the county.

This single support condition alone is enough to enable the Golden Winery to achieve daily sales of over a thousand units.

The second support condition is that, although there are conditions, if the criteria are met, one can participate in the Canton Fair.

What is the Canton Fair?

This is a trade and business conference for foreign companies.

Merchants who can participate in the Canton Fair are either well-known established brands or truly capable emerging companies.

In the past, only products from state-owned enterprises were eligible to participate in the Canton Fair.

Merchants who participate in the Canton Fair earn US dollars from the goods they sell.

In this era, the country had a great need for foreign exchange.

Private enterprises that can earn foreign exchange for the country will be favored by the state.

Putting aside everything else, it's certain that they will receive significant support in the future.

The Canton Fair itself is also a large-scale economic and trade platform.

If this platform is used effectively, it is quite common for many second-rate companies to rise to the ranks of first-rate companies.

"Liang Ming, if we can get a ticket to the Canton Fair, our Golden Winery will not only become the number one enterprise in Taoyuan County, but it can even become a large enterprise in Taoyuan City."

Liang Wen, his face full of excitement, spoke to Liang Ming.

Liang Ming understood Liang Wen's meaning, but he didn't express his opinion so quickly. Instead, he turned to Jiang Tao and asked:

"Brother Jiang, you've given us so much support, there can't be such a small condition for you, right?"

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Jiang Tao smiled and said:

"Liang Ming, you're very smart; you discovered this problem so quickly."

"The county is offering such substantial support, but of course there are conditions."

At this point, Jiang Tao paused, looked directly at Liang Ming, and asked in return:

"Liang Ming, can you accept that the Golden Winery has higher-ups as shareholders?"

Upon hearing Jiang Tao's words, Liang Ming immediately realized what was going on.

"The county wants to take over our Golden Winery?"

Liang Ming countered with a question.

The practice of incorporating foreign elements into other organizations is nothing new.

In recent years, if there are any promising enterprises in the county, but they fail to continue operating for some reason.

To ensure that employees in enterprises do not lose their jobs, the county will invest in taking over the enterprises and converting them from private to state-owned enterprises.

This is called incorporation.

This acquisition is indeed a good thing for a company that is on the verge of bankruptcy.

But for a company like Golden Distillery, which is in a period of growth, this is a bad thing.

"It's not an acquisition, it's just a shareholding. We won't interfere with the management and decision-making of the Golden Winery."

Jiang Tao explained with a smile:

"However, we will take a share of the profits and put it into the treasury."

Upon hearing Jiang Tao's words, Liang Ming's expression softened.

He then asked, "What is the percentage of shares invested? Will the dividends go to the village or the county?"

"This money will belong to Shitou Township while I am here, since the Golden Winery is a company of Shitou Township. Later, it may be taken back by the county."

"As for the shareholding ratio? It is tentatively set at 10%."

Upon hearing Jiang Tao's words, Liang Ming's expression softened completely.

If it's only 10% of the shares, it certainly won't affect his decision-making and management rights.

This golden distillery still belongs to him.

The 10% share dividends, if given to Jiang Tao to manage and use for developing the local economy, would also be a good thing for him.

Jiang Tao is one of our own, so giving him some benefits would be a win-win situation.

Moreover, according to Jiang Tao, as long as he is in Shitou Township, his 10% share belongs to Shitou Township.

After Jiang Tao gets promoted, the shares will be taken back to the county. At that time, these shares may still be managed by Jiang Tao.
