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

After entering the machinery factory, Liang Ming and his two companions quickly arrived at the factory director's office.

After Jiang Tao knocked on the office door, the middle-aged man inside looked up and immediately saw Jiang Tao.

"Mayor Jiang, you've arrived!"

He immediately said enthusiastically:

"What brings you here today?"

"It is an honor for our machinery factory that you have come here."

Hearing this, Jiang Tao snorted coldly and said:

"Director He, I dare not accept such praise. When I came to the gate of your factory just now, I almost couldn't get in."

Hearing Jiang Tao's words, Director He clearly sensed the dissatisfaction in his tone and couldn't help but ask:

"Mayor Jiang, what's wrong? Who made you suffer? Tell me, and I'll take care of him for you."

He and Jiang Tao were old friends.

Although Jiang Tao is only the mayor of Shitou Township, he doesn't usually have much say in the affairs of the county's machinery factory.

But Director He knew something about Jiang Tao's background.

This Township Head Jiang is not someone he can afford to offend.

"Director He, so you're saying you don't know about the gate security issue at your factory?"

Jiang Tao glanced at Director He and said indifferently.

"Was it that old worker at the gate who gave you a hard time?"

Upon hearing Jiang Tao's words, Director He immediately said:

"I'll deal with him in a bit."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tao waved his hand and said, "No need. The power entrusted to us by the people is not for us to abuse."

"Give the gatekeepers a warning, make sure they remember this, and give them a small punishment as a warning."

Upon hearing Jiang Tao's words, Director He nodded in agreement.

With just a few casual words, the two men decided the future of the gatekeeper.

Liang Ming knew that the gatekeeper would definitely be transferred to another position because of what happened today.

Although, Jiang Tao told Director He that a minor punishment would suffice as a warning.

But Director He would definitely not just give the gatekeeper a minor punishment and call it a day.

There are quite a few tough jobs in the machine factory.

If we assign that old man to one of those tough jobs, and he can endure it and persevere through these few years before retirement, he can still have a decent life after retirement.

If the old man can't hold on any longer, his only option is to retire due to illness.

The pension for those who retire due to illness is not as high as that for those who retire normally.

It's fair to say that the pack of cigarettes the gatekeeper accepted would cost him the equivalent of countless packs of cigarettes in the future.

Immediately, Director He spoke again, asking Jiang Tao:

"Mayor Jiang, is there anything I can do for you today?"

"Director He, we need a batch of food processing machinery to produce braised dishes."

Before Jiang Tao could speak, Jiang Meizhuang spoke first.

Upon hearing this, Director He looked at Jiang Meizhuang and his eyes lit up; he was also amazed by Jiang Meizhuang's beauty.

"Mayor Jiang, who is this?" Director He asked curiously.

"Director He, this is my sister, Jiang Meizhuang, and this is my brother-in-law, Liang Ming."

Jiang Tao pointed to Liang Ming and Jiang Meizhuang and explained to Director He.

"My brother-in-law is planning to open a food processing plant and needs to order a batch of machinery..."

After listening to Jiang Tao's explanation, Director He's face showed a look of sudden realization.

"So it's Township Chief Jiang's sister and brother-in-law. They are indeed a perfect match, a match made in heaven."

Director He said with a smile.

People like to hear nice things, and Liang Ming and Jiang Meizhuang were a couple deeply in love, so they both smiled when they heard Director He's words.

The unpleasantness I felt earlier from being stopped by the gatekeeper has dissipated considerably.

"Director He, you flatter me," Jiang Meizhuang said with a smile.

Liang Ming cut to the chase and asked, "Director He, I don't know about the machinery and equipment used in food processing..."

Hearing Liang Ming's words, Director He also became serious and said, "Our machinery factory has produced food processing machinery, but those are for processing meat products."

"Since you make braised food, you need to tell me your needs first, and I'll ask the master chef to see if it's possible."

Liang Ming was not surprised by Director He's answer.

"Director He, would you please take us to see the head chef now?"

Liang Ming said.

"Okay, come with us."

Director He nodded and said.

Immediately, he took Liang Ming, Jiang Meizhuang, and Jiang Tao to the machine tool factory and found the master craftsman.

"Master Chen, these are my friends. They want to order a batch of food processing machinery..."

Immediately, Director He introduced Liang Ming and the others to the factory master craftsman named Master Chen.

What are your requirements for food processing machinery and equipment?

Upon hearing that he was a friend of the director, Master Chen looked at Liang Ming with a respectful expression and asked.

"Master Chen, we are a braised food processing factory, mainly producing and packaging braised food products..."

Liang Ming immediately explained his requirements.

Making braised food and packaging it are the two most crucial requirements.

After listening to Liang Ming's needs, Master Chen nodded slightly and said:

"Your requirements aren't high, and our factory can make them. The only question is how many machines you need and when you need them?"

Upon hearing Master Chen say that it could be made, Liang Ming's face lit up with excitement.

It's perfect that the county machinery factory can produce food processing machinery.

Otherwise, he would have to go to the city, or even the provincial capital, to order it.

The human and material resources required are considerable.

Immediately, Liang Ming also provided the quantity and date for ordering the machinery and equipment based on the scale of the food processing plant he wanted to open.

After listening, Master Chen nodded and said, "No problem, we will make it before that day."

After seeing Master Chen nod in agreement, Director He turned to Liang Ming and said:

"Mr. Liang, now that you've discussed the production details with Master Chen, shouldn't we also talk about the cost of the customized machinery?"

Upon hearing Director He's words, Liang Ming nodded.

"Director He, Liang Ming is my brother-in-law, you can't ask for such an exorbitant amount!"

Upon seeing this, Jiang Tao immediately spoke to Director He.

Upon hearing Jiang Tao's words, Director He smiled and said, "Mayor Jiang, look at what you're saying. Our county machinery factory is a state-owned enterprise, and its prices have always been fair and honest. You can rest assured."

Seeing that Director He had said that, Jiang Tao nodded.

Immediately afterwards, everyone followed Director He back to his office.

Soon, Liang Ming and Director He reached an agreement on the purchase price of the machinery and equipment, and Liang Ming paid the price.

Both sides got the results they wanted, and they parted very warmly.

"Mr. Liang, I wish your food processing plant a prosperous business and abundant wealth in advance," said Director He.

"Director He, I appreciate your kind words, and I also wish you a smooth career and continuous promotions," Liang Ming said with a smile.

They exchanged a few compliments before parting ways.
