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

“No, I’m very satisfied with the price,” Liang Ming said quickly, snapping out of his daze.

"In that case, we'll go with this price!" Director Qin said with a smile.

After saying that, the two went to the logistics department office of the Second Sports Equipment Factory, signed an agreement, and then Director Qin settled the payment for the duck feathers with Liang Ming.

After receiving the 490 yuan payment, Liang Ming quietly took out 30 yuan and stuffed it into Director Qin's pocket.

"Brother Liang Ming, what are you doing?" Director Qin asked, reaching into his pocket.

"Director Qin, thank you for giving me this opportunity to cooperate. Please accept this small token of my appreciation."

Liang Ming said to Director Qin in a very serious tone.

He knew very well that Director Qin had only accepted the duck feathers because of Liu Ming.

But next time, they might not be so accommodating.

If someone else comes to sell duck feathers next time, will Director Qin buy from them or from him?

In business, if you're going to get the lion's share, you have to give others some soup too, otherwise you won't last long.

really.

When Director Qin heard Liang Ming's words, his gaze towards him held a hint of appreciation.

"Brother Liang Ming, you're a quick-thinking person, so I'll accept this money this time."

At this point, he asked again, "I wonder about Director Liu Ming's side..."

"Don't worry, Director Qin. You and he are both my mentors. I've already reserved his share."

Liang Ming hurriedly said.

Seeing that Liang Ming was so cooperative, Director Qin nodded in satisfaction: "Brother Liang Ming, if you have any more duck feathers, you can send them over. Our sports equipment factory can handle them all."

Upon hearing Director Qin's words, Liang Ming's face lit up with joy: "Director Qin, that's wonderful..."

He told Director Qin that he could get 500 jin of duck feathers every day.

Upon hearing this, Director Qin waved his hand and made the decision: "Alright, our factory will take all 500 jin of duck feathers."

After finalizing the deal with Director Qin, Liang Ming left the Second Sports Equipment Factory.

He went to the steel plant canteen again and found Liu Ming.

"Brother Liang Ming, did the deal to buy duck feathers fall through?"

Upon seeing Liang Ming return, Liu Ming asked in confusion.

"Brother Liu Ming, the deal is done, and Director Qin has accepted my duck feathers."

"Thanks to your letter of introduction, this deal wouldn't have been completed so easily without you."

Liang Ming said to Liu Ming with a smile.

As he spoke, he secretly slipped 30 yuan as a referral fee into Liu Ming's hand.

As soon as he got the money, Liu Ming knew it was a significant sum.

He didn't expect Liang Ming to make a special trip back to give him some money for tea.

This young man knows how to conduct himself and how to do things; he has a bright future ahead of him.

"Brother Liang Ming, this... I really can't accept this from you..."

Liu Ming pretended to refuse, but with practiced ease, he stuffed the money into his pocket.

"Brother Liu Ming, as the saying goes, 'When you drink water, don't forget the well-digger.'"

"You are my well-digger, how could I forget you?" Liang Ming said with a light laugh.

"Alright, alright, Brother Liang Ming, I won't say anything more. If you need my help in the future, just let me know."

Liu Ming patted his chest and said.

Liang Ming just smiled at Liu Ming's polite words and didn't take them too seriously.

After leaving the No. 3 Steel Plant in the county, Liang Ming went to a private vegetable market to buy some meat and vegetables before returning to his village.

……

Upon returning to the village, Liang Ming ran into the village chief, Liang Jianguo.

"Xiaoming, you're back just in time. The police officers from the township police station are looking for you. They're in the village committee office. Come with me."

Village chief Liang Jianguo greeted Liang Ming upon seeing him.

"A police officer from the township police station is looking for me?" Upon hearing this, Liang Ming thought for a moment and guessed that it was about Song Qiang.

When he arrived at the village committee office, he saw a dashing-looking man sitting behind the coffee table, drinking tea.

As soon as Liang Ming saw the man, he recognized him as the police officer who had received them when he went to the township police station to report the crime.

"Young man, we meet again." Wang Jiu noticed Liang Ming's gaze, stood up, and chuckled.

"Officer, I heard you were looking for me?" Liang Ming asked politely.

"Yes, our station has completed its investigation into the case of you being robbed on the street!"

"Song Qiang and the others have already confessed, and the relevant case materials have been submitted. It won't be long before Song Qiang and the others are sent to jail."

"I'm here today to return the 320 yuan that was stolen from you by the suspect."

Wang Jiu explained his purpose for coming.

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming was somewhat flattered and said, "Officer, so that's what it's about. How could I trouble you to personally deliver it!"

"Have someone notify them, I'll go to the office to pick it up myself."

"If we send someone to notify you and then ask you to go there, wouldn't that just be another troublesome trip?"

"It would be simpler for me to just deliver it directly," Wang Jiu said frankly.

He's not one to drag things out; the case is clear now, so he'll return the embezzled funds as quickly as possible.

Hearing Wang Jiu's words, Liang Ming was also somewhat amazed. Such an upright person is extremely rare these days.

"Young man, please check if the money is correct. If there are no problems, then sign here."

Wang Jiu handed the money to Liang Ming, then took out the receipt and said.

After Liang Ming took the money, he counted it and, after confirming that there was no problem, said, "Officer, the amount is correct. Thank you."

“We’re not on a case right now, just call me Wang Jiu,” Wang Jiu said.

Wang Jiu?

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming's face showed a look of surprise.

The man in front of me was actually the deputy director of the police station in Taoyuan Township.

In his previous life, this deputy director had been cracking down on crime in the village and made many contributions to the village's security. In the end, he collapsed from exhaustion at his post.

Liang Ming held this Deputy Director Wang in high esteem.

He even felt that such a good policeman deserved a better career path, to go to a wider world and make his mark.

"Brother Wang Jiu, the person I respect most is a national guardian like you who fights crime and protects the safety of our people's property!"

Liang Ming looked at Wang Jiu with a serious expression and said:

"If you don't mind, can I call you 'Big Brother' in private?"

Liang Ming wanted to get to know this good director.

If the opportunity arises, I might be able to help this deputy director get promoted to another "department"!

It should be noted that, under the spring breeze of reform and opening up, some people have become rich through hard work.

There is also a small group of people who, in order to seek personal gain, are willing to get mired in the mire, and these people can become Wang Jiu's achievements in fighting crime.

Having a friend who works at a police station means that when you're doing business, at least you don't have to worry about petty thugs coming to your door and causing trouble.
