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

Are Liang Ming's demands too high?

It's actually not that high.

After all, if you want businessmen to invest in the area, you definitely need some support policies.

Liang Ming invested in building shops in Shitou Township. For the first three years, he offered low rents to encourage locals to start businesses, which is a good thing.

If a commercial street can really be developed, the benefits it will bring to Shitou Township will be immeasurable.

All Shitou Township needs to give up is a small amount of commercial land.

As for the road repair issue, there's nothing wrong with Liang Ming being willing to pay to help Shitou Township repair the main county road and let them take over the operating rights of this rural route.

After all, in this era, the operating rights of many rural bus routes are outsourced.

In this day and age, besides civil servants, the most sought-after job is that of a driver.

If an ordinary person has driving skills, they can borrow money to buy a minibus, run rural bus routes, and earn five or six yuan per trip.

If you make a round trip every hour, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., earning a hundred or so yuan a day is not a problem.

Even excluding fuel and car maintenance costs, earning a thousand or so yuan a month is not a problem.

It can be said that in this era, the only men young girls wanted to marry, besides those with secure jobs in state-owned enterprises, were drivers.

In this day and age, there's a common saying among ordinary people: "Turning the steering wheel brings in a fortune!"

"Alright, Liang Ming, I agree to all your requests, as long as you're willing to show up and help our Shitou Township improve some of its infrastructure!"

At this moment, Jiang Tao also snapped out of his thoughts and spoke to Liang Ming.

The most important thing now is to help Shitou Township develop its economy so that the people of Shitou Township have jobs and food to eat.

After seeing that Jiang Tao agreed, Liang Ming didn't waste any more words and said, "Brother Jiang Tao, since you've said so, Mei Zhuang and I won't waste any more words either."

"Over the next three years, we will use all the dividends from our shares in the radio assembly plant to support your development."

"In short, as long as you're still in Stone Township, this radio assembly factory will be your little goldmine for building Stone Township."

Hearing Liang Ming's promise, Jiang Tao was also deeply moved.

With Liang Ming's support, Jiang Tao felt less pressured than before when he wanted to do anything in Shitou Township.

Moreover, he can now do many of the things he wants to do.

"Liang Ming, I'll remember this favor."

Jiang Tao held Liang Ming's hand and said with a serious expression.

"Brother Jiang Tao, we're family, so there's no need for formalities."

Liang Ming said to Jiang Tao.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tao nodded and said, "You're right, we're family, no need for formalities."

Liang Ming will soon be his brother-in-law, and they will be family.

Being too polite would be making you seem too formal.

After Liang Ming and his sister get married, he'll see if there's anything he can do to help them, and he'll offer whatever he can.

Thinking of this, Jiang Tao asked again, "By the way, what brings you here today?"

"Brother, we've come here today because we have something important to discuss with you."

Jiang Meizhuang spoke first, saying:

"Do you know anyone at a machinery factory? Liang Ming wants to open a food processing plant that specializes in producing braised food. He needs machinery for making and packaging the braised food."

"Do you need food processing machinery?" Jiang Tao asked after hearing Jiang Meizhuang and Liang Ming's request.

"I don't know much about this; I'll have to ask my friends at the machinery factory."

"Brother, shall we set off now and go ask?"

Jiang Tao said.

"So eager?" Jiang Tao asked, a look of surprise on his face.

"There's no time to lose. When it comes to making money, every second you're slow means you'll lose tens of dollars."

Liang Ming said with a smile.

Seeing that his brother-in-law and sister had both said this, Jiang Tao nodded and said:

"Okay, let's go now."

The three immediately left the Shitou Township government and headed to the county machinery factory.

Along the way, Liang Ming also discussed with Jiang Tao the future development direction of the radio assembly factory.

After listening, Jiang Tao was overjoyed and quickly took out his notebook to write it down.

Soon, the three arrived at the county's machinery factory.

"What do you do?"

As soon as Liang Ming arrived at the gate, he was stopped by the gatekeeper.

When he saw Liang Ming, he assumed he was in business, but not just anyone could get into the county's machinery factory.

"Sir, we've come to the machinery factory to buy a batch of food processing machinery."

Liang Ming immediately spoke up.

After hearing Liang Ming's purpose, the gatekeeper raised an eyebrow, glanced at Liang Ming out of the corner of his eye, and then said with feigned difficulty:

"Our leaders are very busy right now and probably don't have time to receive you. Please come again next time."

Upon hearing the gatekeeper's words, Jiang Tao frowned slightly and was about to speak.

He had never been stopped when he came to the county machinery factory to see the factory's leaders before.

Before Jiang Tao could even speak, Liang Ming had already taken out a pack of Liqun cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed it into the gatekeeper's hand.

"Sir, you see, we really have something urgent to discuss with your leader. Could you please make an exception and let us..."

With a broad smile, Liang Ming addressed the gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper's eyes lit up when he saw the pack of cigarettes offered to him, and he said:

"No problem, no problem. I can tell you really have something urgent to do."

"Okay, I'll give you a brief report. Please wait a moment."

As they spoke, the gatekeeper calmly accepted the Liqun cigarettes.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, sir," Liang Ming said.

The gatekeeper nodded, then went back into his booth and picked up the factory's internal phone, talking on it.

Seeing this, Jiang Tao frowned slightly and said in a deep voice:

"This is outrageous! This gatekeeper is blatantly lying. The factory leaders are clearly here, but he claims they aren't."

"Brother, isn't this kind of thing quite common? There's no need to get angry."

Seeing her elder brother was angry, Jiang Meizhuang tried to calm him down.

"It's easy to see the King of Hell, but difficult to deal with his underlings; this is a perfectly normal principle."

Liang Ming said with a smile.

He was already used to this kind of thing.

No matter where you do business, wherever there are people, there is a world of its own.

Some people love to use their tiny bit of power to make things difficult for others.

Jiang Tao raised an eyebrow, seemingly unfazed by the sight of Liang Ming and Jiang Meizhuang.

It seems that because he's in this position, everyone he encounters is very polite to him.

That's why he didn't know that people at the bottom of society lived in such hardship.

"Alright, I've already reported to the director. You can go in yourselves."

At this moment, the gatekeeper came out of the gatehouse and spoke to Liang Ming and Jiang Meizhuang.

Hearing the gatekeeper's words, Jiang Tao snorted and walked into the machinery factory first.

Seeing this, Liang Ming and Jiang Meizhuang smiled at the gatekeeper and followed him inside.

The gatekeeper didn't seem to care about Jiang Tao's attitude, only muttering to himself:

"Why does this person look so familiar?"
