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

When the villagers from other villages heard Liang Ming's words, they knew that Liang Ming was not satisfied with their offer, and they immediately became nervous.

They refused the buyers' offer of 3 cents per kilogram.

If Liang Ming is unwilling to buy their mountain products, then no one else will.

When the time comes, these mountain products will be worthless in their hands.

People with some family wealth might be able to weather the storm.

But those villagers from other villages who invested all their savings in buying mountain products in hopes of turning their lives around are in a terrible predicament.

Immediately, villagers from other villages spoke up and pleaded with Liang Ming;

"Boss Liang, everything is negotiable. We can also discuss the purchase price of the mountain products."

"Yes, yes, yes, we can still talk about it."

Liang Ming waved his hand, signaling Gou Dan and the others to stop, and then asked the villagers from the other village.

"Talk? How do you want to talk?"

"I can't afford the purchase price of 6 cents per kilogram."

"Even if I agreed, I don't think the villagers in our village would agree."

"After all, I only get 2 cents a pound from buying mountain produce from them."

As soon as Liang Ming finished speaking, the other villagers from Liangjia Village also chimed in:

"That's right, we only sell our mountain produce to Liang Ming for 2 cents a pound. You want 6 cents a pound? You're dreaming!"

“We, Liang Ming, have taken pity on you and wanted to buy your mountain goods so you wouldn’t lose money. You actually came here to make money.”

"Get out of here! You're not welcome in Liangjia Village."

Upon hearing what the villagers of Liangjia Village said, the faces of these villagers from other villages turned pale and then red.

Finally, two representatives from the neighboring villages spoke up and asked:

"Mr. Liang, how much per kilogram are you willing to pay to buy our mountain produce?"

"I'll tell you how much you're willing to sell?" Liang Ming retorted.

The two representatives from the other village exchanged glances with their companions, then nodded in unison and said:

"You name the price, and we'll sell it for that price."

Seeing that the other party had lowered his head, Liang Ming nodded in satisfaction.

"Alright, since you've all said so, I won't waste any more words."

Liang Ming immediately spoke up:

“You bought these mountain products for 2 cents a pound. Since outside merchants are buying them from you for 3 cents a pound, I won’t lower the price if you bring them to Liangjia Village.”

“I can even let you make a little money.”

"35 cents a pound, how's that price?"

Finally, Liang Ming finalized the acquisition price and then looked at the villagers from these neighboring villages.

Upon hearing Liang Ming's offer, the villagers from other villages all showed a hint of hesitation on their faces.

"35 cents a pound?"

This price isn't considered high.

It's just a difference of 5 cents compared to outside buyers.

But for these villagers from other villages, each of them had several hundred kilograms of mountain produce in their hands.

Even if you only pay 5 cents, you can still earn more than ten dollars more.

In total, they can make a profit of several tens of yuan.

This amount of money is equivalent to more than a month's wages for an average person.

It can be said that the profits they made from purchasing mountain products were quite considerable.

Seeing these people hesitate, Gou Dan spoke up, "Our Liang Min is already doing you a favor by giving you a price of 35 cents per pound."

“We only sell for 2 cents a pound, and you’ve made a full 15 cents profit.”

"If you don't want to make this money, then take the mountain produce with you."

Upon hearing Gou Dan's words, these villagers from other villages saw the villagers of Liangjia Village and looked at them with envy.

They also knew that the price Liang Ming offered was already very high.

If they say anything more at this point, they might not even be able to use the money.

"Boss Liang, we'll sell it for 35 cents a pound!"

"Yes, we're willing to sell at that price!"

In an instant, all the villagers from the surrounding villages relented.

Seeing that these people agreed, Liang Ming didn't waste any more words and turned to Gou Dan and A Ma, saying:

"Dog Egg, Ama, I'll leave the matter of purchasing their mountain products to you."

"You can pay me the money first, and I'll make it up to you later."

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Gou Dan and A Ma readily agreed:

"Brother Liang Ming, there's no need to be so particular about this small amount of money. Just leave it to us."

Immediately, Gou Dan and A Ma led their villagers to help weigh and settle the accounts for the mountain goods from the villagers from other villages.

"Brother Liang Ming, they brought a total of 2000 jin of mountain products, and the quality of the mountain products is very good."

"I settled a total of 700 yuan for them."

"I'll have someone deliver these mountain products to Xiangmanlou Restaurant later."

After Gou Dan finished calculating the accounts, he reported to Liang Ming.

When Liang Ming heard that these villagers from other villages had brought 2000 jin of mountain produce, he nodded slightly and said:

"Okay, let's do it this way. I'll give you the 700 yuan later."

2000 catties of mountain produce, delivered to Xiangmanlou Restaurant, will cost 2000 yuan.

Xiangmanlou Restaurant now has multiple chain stores, so it wouldn't be difficult to consume these 2000 jin of mountain produce.

By reselling it myself, I made 1,300 yuan.

Those villagers from other villages might make a small profit, but he decided not to lose money.

Dog Egg didn't say anything upon hearing this.

At this moment, Liang Ming noticed that the villagers from other villages did not leave after taking the money, but stood at the gate of the courtyard with puzzled expressions.

"Why don't you leave yet?"

Liang Ming immediately spoke up, asking the villagers from other villages.

The villagers from other villages looked at each other, all wanting to say something, but none of them knew how to start.

Finally, the two most eloquent representatives among them spoke up to Liang Ming:

"Mr. Liang, we would like to ask if you are still willing to purchase large quantities of mountain products."

"Although the back mountain of Liangjia Village is large, the output of mountain products is limited. If you only buy from them, you will eventually buy them all."

"We have abundant mountain resources in the surrounding area, with large production volume, which can provide a long-term supply."

"If you're willing to acquire us, that's definitely not a bad thing!"

As soon as Liang Ming, the representative from another village, spoke, before Liang Ming could even speak, the villagers of Liangjia Village couldn't sit still any longer.

They all earned a living by digging up mountain products and selling them to Liang Ming.

They wouldn't know where to find such a good business if it weren't for Liang Ming.

They've just gotten into the swing of things when people from other villages come to pick the peaches. How can they accept that?

“You people are too greedy. Liang Ming took pity on you and couldn’t bear to see your mountain products stuck in your hands, so he bought them from you. Now, you actually want to cooperate in the long term.”

"That's right, your mountain products cost 35 cents a pound, while ours only cost 20 cents a pound. How could Liang Ming possibly be willing to buy yours!"
