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

"Look at what you're saying. When have I ever gone back on my word?"

Liang Ming smiled and said to Qin Fang:

“I said I would give you 15 percent of the shares, and I will.”

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Qin Fang could no longer contain her smile and said excitedly, "Boss Liang, thank you for your trust. I will definitely work hard to manage every Liang Black Duck store well."

"It's not just about managing the current Liang Hei Ya stores well; the Liang Hei Ya chain brand will also continue to open new branches, and you need to take this matter seriously."

Liang Ming said to Qin Fang.

Upon hearing this, Qin Fang nodded earnestly and said, "Boss, I will."

On the same day, Liang Ming and Qin Fang signed a share transfer agreement, and Qin Fang received 15% of the shares in the Liang Heiya chain brand.

This incident greatly motivated the employees of Liang Hei Ya Shop.

Everyone has the desire to get rich.

Working at Liang Hei Ya pays more than working for other workers.

Not to mention, once you become a store manager, you also get store manager shares.

If one could become a shareholder of the company like Qin Fang, their future prospects would be limitless.

It can be said that Liang Ming provided them with a path to promotion.

This alone motivated them to work harder.

This was exactly what Liang Ming wanted, and he was pleased to see the increased enthusiasm of his employees.

After signing the share transfer agreement with Qin Fang, Liang Ming discussed with her in detail the future development direction of the Liang Heiya chain brand.

"Qin Fang, you are now a shareholder of the Liang Hei Ya chain brand. What are your thoughts on the company's future development?"

Liang Ming spoke up and asked Qin Fang.

After hearing Liang Ming's words, Qin Fang pondered for a few seconds and said seriously, "Boss, I think we don't have enough Liang Hei Ya braised food branches."

"My idea is to continue opening branches. In addition to Taoyuan City, we can also open Liang Hei Ya branches in several nearby cities."

Liang Ming nodded and said, "That's a good idea. Turning our Liang Hei Ya chain brand into a regional chain would indeed help improve brand power."

Seeing that her boss agreed with her idea, Qin Fang smiled.

"Besides that, do you have any other ideas?"

Liang Ming then asked another question.

When the boss continued to test her, Qin Fang fell silent.

She used to be just an ordinary worker, and the idea of ​​opening a branch store was something she learned from Liang Ming.

Her knowledge is not very broad, and she can't think of any more ideas for the time being.

"It's okay if you can't think of it. The fact that you could think of a branch is already quite remarkable."

"Moreover, you manage more than a dozen branches all by yourself, which is already quite remarkable."

Seeing that Qin Fang couldn't come up with any new ideas, Liang Ming smiled and said...

"Boss, do you already have a new plan in mind?"

Seeing the smile on Liang Ming's face, Qin Fang guessed what was going on and asked curiously.

Liang Ming didn't hide anything and nodded, saying, "I do have some opinions about Liang Heiya."

"Although Liang Hei Ya chain brand now has more than a dozen branches, our product production is too scattered."

"All the ingredients, after being purchased, are delivered to the stores for individual production."

"This makes it difficult to control product quality and makes it easy for mistakes to occur."

"If a shop assistant makes substandard braised food due to carelessness, it's a minor issue if the food tastes bad, but it's a major issue if it makes customers sick."

Hearing Liang Ming's words, Qin Fang nodded, agreeing that he made sense.

If there are only a few branches, it's fine for each branch to make its own braised food.

However, with more branches, the cost of transporting ingredients alone becomes a significant expense.

"Boss Liang, you've thought this through. Letting each branch make its own braised food is indeed not conducive to the consistency of the taste."

Qin Fang immediately said to Liang Ming.

"It's not entirely a matter of taste; the ingredient packets also play a role," Liang Ming continued.

"Although I have already crushed the spices and herbs and made the seasoning packets, and I don't intend for the recipe to be leaked, it would be troublesome if some of the employees in the stores secretly kept some of the seasoning packets after distributing them to so many branches."

If the staff simply take these spice packets home to make their own braised dishes, that's fine.

The fear is that these shop assistants might use spice packets to make braised food, and then have their family members secretly take it out to sell.

This will inevitably affect the sales of the Liangheiya chain brand.

To prevent this from happening again, Liang Ming must take back control of the production process.

After hearing Liang Ming's explanation, Qin Fang also felt it made sense and immediately asked:

"Mr. Liang, I understand what you mean. So what exactly should we do now?"

"I'm planning to open a food processing plant, initially focusing on processing braised dishes," Liang Ming said.

"Open a food processing plant?" Qin Fang looked surprised when she heard this.

"That's right. This way, all the ingredients can be purchased in one go, which will further reduce the purchase price of the ingredients."

Liang Ming nodded and said:

"Moreover, unified production also ensures consistent taste, guaranteeing the reputation of our Liang Hei Ya chain brand."

"Most importantly, all the products for Liang Hei Ya braised food branches will be supplied by the factory, ensuring that each branch can keep up with the demand and avoid selling out!"

"It's not like the braised food shops on the east side sell out of braised food in the afternoon and run out of stock by evening, while the braised food shops on the west side still have braised food left over until night."

Qin Fang nodded. It could be said that Liang Ming's idea had indeed considered all the possible problems that the branch might encounter.

It can be said that opening a food processing plant is entirely beneficial for Liang Hei Ya Pu.

There's one more thing Liang Ming didn't mention: this food processing plant can not only produce and process braised food, but also other foods.

For example, beef jerky, pork jerky, chili sauce, etc.

Liang Ming remembered that in his previous life, in the late 1980s, there was an old woman's restaurant that produced a delicious chili sauce.

Food lovers from all around come here specifically for their chili sauce.

Later, even people who had left their hometowns to work elsewhere asked the old woman if she sold this chili sauce.

After hearing this, the old woman had an idea and actually made some chili sauce to sell.

Unexpectedly, this chili sauce business grew bigger and bigger.

In the 90s, this old lady even built a chili sauce company. Her products not only sold well all over the country, but she also participated in the Canton Fair and sold her chili sauce abroad.

Later, this chili sauce company went on to become one of the world's leading condiment companies.

And the name of this chili sauce company is "Lao Gan Ma".

The chili sauce market is huge, with high profits, and there's a significant shortage of supply, so Liang Ming naturally wanted to get involved.

It's just that now is not the right time.

"Boss, you've thought things through. Your idea is good. I'll listen to you."

At this moment, Qin Fang also spoke to Liang Ming.

"This isn't a question of whether you'll listen to me or not, but rather whether you're willing to take on an extra job."

Liang Ming smiled and said to Qin Fang.
