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

Seeing that the two groups were about to start arguing again, Liang Ming stopped Gou Dan and the others, saying:

"Alright, let's not argue about this. Harmony brings wealth."

Seeing that Liang Ming had said that, Gou Dan and the others shut up.

This business ultimately belongs to Liang Ming.

Liang Ming can let whoever he wants earn money.

“The brothers in our village are right. I originally wanted to bring them into this business of buying and selling mountain products so that they could have a way to earn money.”

At this moment, Liang Ming also turned his head to look at the villagers from other villages and said:

"I don't really care about the profits from this business of selling mountain products; I could even choose not to buy them at all."

"That's why I set a quota for the amount of mountain produce I can buy for them every day."

“If I take yours, it will inevitably affect their prices, and your purchase price is even higher than theirs.”

"Under these circumstances, how can I possibly purchase your mountain products?"

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

The villagers of Liangjia Village, on the other hand, had smiles on their faces.

At this moment, Liang Ming changed the subject, saying, "However, if you want to sell me the mountain goods you've collected, that's not impossible..."

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

They all envied the villagers of Liangjia Village, who were able to make money by selling mountain products.

They also wanted to make money together.

"Boss Liang, are you really willing to buy our mountain products?"

"Boss Liang, you are our second parents!"

"Mr. Liang, you..."

The villagers from other villages showered him with compliments.

The villagers of Liangjia Village all looked tense.

Liang Ming waved his hand, interrupting the compliments from the villagers from other villages, and said, "I can buy your mountain products, but the purchase price will naturally not be the same as today, at 35 cents per pound."

"If you're willing to sell, I can buy it from you for 25 cents!"

Upon hearing this, the villagers from other villages all showed a hint of hesitation on their faces.

25 cents a pound...

This price is a bit low.

They can sell them individually for 3 cents a pound.

Moreover, they also charge 2 cents per pound for purchasing mountain products from villagers in their own village.

The profit of 5 cents per pound is quite different from their expected price.

Seemingly sensing the hesitation of these villagers from other villages, Liang Ming smiled and said:

"A profit of 5 cents is not a small amount for you."

“I just checked, and each of you has three or four hundred catties of mountain produce. That should be a profit of ten or twenty yuan.”

"You couldn't have earned this kind of income before, could you?"

"Don't forget, if you cooperate with me, it won't be a one-off deal, but a long-term partnership."

"Earning a dozen or so dollars a day, how much would that add up to in a month? You should be able to do the math, right?"

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, the villagers from other villages lit up and realized what was going on.

Yes!

This is not a one-off deal.

Even if they only make a profit of 5 cents, they have a large quantity of mountain products.

Earning a dozen or so dollars a day can add up to several hundred dollars a month.

In other words, their monthly income is equivalent to their annual harvest in the past.

By any measure, they made a profit on this deal.

Moreover, this sales channel is exclusive to Liang Ming; he can give it to him or not.

Liang Ming's willingness to agree is tantamount to giving them a chance.

"Boss Liang, we accept the purchase price of 25 cents per pound, but we don't know if there's a limit on our supply of mountain products?"

Immediately, someone asked a question.

"Each person can eat a maximum of 300 jin per day. I can't eat more than that."

Liang Ming thought for a moment and then said.

There are seven of these vendors selling mountain goods from other villages.

In total, we can supply him with about 2000 catties of mountain products per day.

Within Liangjia Village, more than 1,000 jin of mountain products are supplied every day, which is already quite a large quantity.

If it's not a state-run restaurant, they still need local mountain products.

He really couldn't digest so many mountain products.

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, the merchants from other villages were filled with gratitude and kept thanking him.

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

Liang Ming turned his head and said to Gou Dan.

Upon hearing this, Gou Dan nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, Brother Liang Ming."

Since Liang Ming has already decided to buy these people's mountain products, he naturally won't object.

He did whatever Liang Ming told him to do.

After the villagers from other villages left, the villagers of Liangjia Village all had somewhat complicated expressions.

Several villagers wanted to speak several times, but swallowed their words back.

Even Ama wanted to speak several times, but he swallowed his words when he met Liang Ming's gaze.

Noticing the expressions on Ama's and the others' faces, Liang Ming smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Ama, is there something you want to say?"

Upon seeing Liang Ming ask her a question, Ama hesitated for a moment before speaking, asking with confusion:

“Brother Liang Ming, the brothers in our village are only getting 2 cents a pound for buying mountain produce, and they can only collect a little over a thousand pounds a day.”

"How come you buy 2000 jin of mountain products from people in other villages, and at a price of 25 cents per jin?"

"So I know this deal is yours, and you can set whatever price you want, but what you're doing is a bit..."

At this point, Ama fell silent.

Although he didn't finish his sentence, Liang Ming understood what Ama meant.

"Ama, are you trying to say that by giving outsiders 25 cents a pound and you only 20 cents a pound, I've hurt your feelings?"

Liang Ming asked with a smile.

“Brother Liang Ming, that’s not what I meant…” Ama quickly said.

"Whether that's what you mean or not doesn't matter, because I already have something to announce."

Liang Ming smiled and said to Ama and the others:

"I offer outsiders a purchase price of 25 cents per kilogram for mountain products, so naturally I can't let my fellow villagers suffer."

"Starting today, we will purchase all the mountain produce that our villagers dig up at 3 cents per pound, which is 1 cents more per pound than before!"

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, the surrounding villagers erupted in surprise and commotion.

Even though it's only a 10-cent increase per kilogram, for them, that's more than ten yuan more in income.

For a moment, everyone was so excited that they couldn't speak.

Even Ama looked astonished.

"Well, now you won't say I'm being unfair, right?" Liang Ming looked at Ama and asked with a smile.

When Ama heard Liang Ming's words, a look of embarrassment appeared on her face.

"Brother Liang Ming, I..."

Before Ama could finish speaking, Liang Ming explained, "I didn't say I would raise your pay just now because there were people from other villages present."

“I, Liang Ming, am from Liangjia Village. I promised to help you get rich, so how could I go back on my word?”

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, all the villagers showed a look of guilt.

They almost misunderstood Liang Ming...

After resolving the issue of purchasing mountain products, Liang Ming, Gou Dan, and A Ma went up the mountain to check on the growth of the medicinal herbs in the field.

“Brother Liang Ming, the ginseng needs to grow for a while before it can be harvested, but the gastrodia elata can be dug up in two more months.”

After arriving at the mountain, Liang Ming looked at the medicinal herbs in the field while listening to Gou Dan explain the production process.

After listening, Liang Ming saw that the medicinal herbs in the field were growing well and nodded, saying, "You have taken good care of the medicinal field."

"After the gastrodia elata is harvested, we can also try to cultivate some dendrobium nobile, which is more valuable."

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Gou Dan and A Ma both nodded in agreement, keeping the matter of planting Dendrobium in mind.

They are short-sighted and unfamiliar with the outside medicinal herb market.

If Liang Ming says a medicinal herb sells well, then it definitely will.

They just need to follow Liang Ming's lead, and they're sure to make money.

After staying on the mountain for a while, Liang Ming went home to change his clothes before driving his tricycle away from Liangjia Village and heading to the county town.

When Liang Ming arrived at Xiangmanlou Restaurant, he saw his younger sister Liang Jing talking to Chen Jianghe about work.

Seeing the two standing together, chatting animatedly, Liang Ming's face showed a strange expression.

Although Chen Jianghe and his sister Liang Jing are a few years apart, the age difference isn't too great.

Chen Jianghe is capable, and he will definitely have a place in the business world in the future.

My younger sister plans to attend a university specializing in political science and law, and then enter the government system after graduation.

A family where one member is in politics and the other in business makes for a perfect combination.

The thought was quickly dismissed by Liang Ming.

My younger sister Liang Jing is still young, so there's no rush for her to get married.

Immediately, Liang Ming walked over and asked his sister and Chen Jianghe with a smile.

"Sister, Jiang He, what are you talking about?"
