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

After Wang Jiu agreed to Liang Ming's request to patrol with a pistol, he left the Liang family compound.

After finishing dinner, Liang Ming and his family sat in the courtyard chatting.

"Son, have you sold all the mountain produce, river delicacies, and duck feathers you collected today?" Mother Li Lan asked with concern.

“Mom, they’ve all been sold,” Liang Ming said. “The 700 jin of duck feathers sold for 490 yuan, and the mountain produce and river delicacies sold for over 100 yuan.”

Upon hearing this, Liang Min and her husband, along with her sister Liang Jing, all gasped in shock.

"These duck feathers can sell for so much money?" Li Lan asked incredulously. "Son, you're not joking with your mother, are you?"

Seeing his mother's reaction, Liang Ming smiled.

It would be hard for anyone to believe that this happened to them.

“Mom and Dad, sister, I’m not lying. These duck feathers really did sell for 490 yuan,” Liang Ming said.

"And what makes me most money today isn't the duck feather business, but the braised duck business."

"The steel mill canteen and Xiangmanlou Restaurant ordered a total of 150 braised ducks from me, and I made 675 yuan."

"Adding the money from the 50 braised ducks I sold at the No. 1 Middle School in the county, I made a total of more than 1500 yuan today."

Upon hearing this, Liang Min and her husband, along with her sister Liang Jing, were all stunned.

More than 1500 yuan?

This number stunned them all.

This was in the mid-80s, when the average annual income per capita was less than 500 yuan.

Liang Ming's daily income is equivalent to three years' worth of other people's earnings?

Although the 1500 yuan figure does not include costs, the turnover is still quite astonishing.

"Son, son, is what you said true? You really made so much money today?" Li Lan said, her voice trembling slightly.

"Mom, would I need to lie to you about something like this?" Liang Ming said earnestly.

Upon hearing Liang Ming's admission, Li Lan turned to Liang Min and said, "Honey, our child has made something of himself!"

“Yes, this day’s income is more than our combined income for a year,” Liang Min nodded and exclaimed.

I never expected that letting my son try setting up a stall and doing some small business would actually help him achieve some success.

"Son, even though you're making money trading duck feathers, mountain produce, and river seafood, don't waste your money, understand?"

Liang Min suddenly thought of something and said to Liang Ming.

"Dad, I know what you mean. I won't waste this money."

"But now I'm thinking of taking out some money to build a small villa in the village."

Liang Ming immediately spoke up.

"Build a small Western-style house?"

Both Liang Min and his wife were shocked to hear their son's words.

"That's right, I've thought about it. Once my career is stable, I'll definitely get married, and I'll need a wedding house."

I plan to talk to the village chief and ask him to approve another plot of land next to my house for me to build a two-story house.

Liang Ming explained with a smile:

"After I get married, my parents and younger sister will move in, and our whole family will live together."

In their past life, after Liang Ming and Song Mei got married, Liang Jing, the younger sister, never returned home after starting university because of Song Mei's dislike of her.

Even for their wedding, they would just find a room in a guesthouse and use it as the bridal chamber.

In this life, Liang Ming not only needs his younger sister Liang Jing to rely on his maternal family.

Even in his bridal chamber, he made sure to reserve a room for his sister.

He wanted Liang Jing to know that he was a brother she could rely on.

"Great, brother, I support you building that little villa!"

Liang Jing clapped her hands in agreement:

"Speaking of which, there aren't many families in our village who can afford to build a two-story villa!"

"Once you build that little villa, girls from all around will be eager to marry you!"

"Then, Song Mei's family will regret it!"

Snapped!

Li Lan slapped Liang Jing on the head and said irritably, "You silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Liang Jing clutched her head in pain and muttered, "That's just how it is..."

"Son, your business is just getting started. Although you've made some money these past few days, we don't know what will happen in the future!"

Li Lan ignored her daughter's words and turned to Liang Ming, saying, "Does Mom mean we shouldn't build this little villa yet?"

"Xiaoming, I think your mom is right!"

"Your stall business is just getting started, so we can postpone the house construction for a while..." Liang Min chimed in.

Hearing his parents' words, Liang Ming knew what they were worried about and said:

"Mom and Dad, don't worry about the money for building the house. I already have long-term orders for my duck feathers, mountain produce, river seafood, and braised duck..."

At this point, Liang Ming negotiated a deal with his Second Sports Equipment Factory to supply 500 jin of duck feathers daily.

I also reached an agreement with the owner of Xiangmanlou restaurant, Jiang Meizhuang, on the daily supply of mountain and river delicacies, and told my parents about it.

In other words, even if he didn't set up a stall to sell braised duck at the No. 1 Middle School in the county.

Just by supplying duck feathers, mountain delicacies and river seafood, and braised duck, he can earn over a thousand a day!

Hearing their son's words, Liang Min and his wife were completely stunned.

It turns out my son's business has grown so big.

“Son, you already have a plan in mind, so your parents won’t say anything more. If you need any help from your parents, just ask.” Knowing that her son’s business was so profitable, Liang Min no longer objected and said.

“Dad, I really want you to help me find a reliable self-built team. I don’t know anyone in this field,” Liang Ming said.

"That's easy, I'll go find it for you tomorrow."

Father Liang Min said, "But you have to find the village chief first to get the homestead and private plot approved."

"Okay, I'll go see the village chief tomorrow," Liang Ming nodded in agreement.

He had already made up his mind to ask the village chief for more private land.

In the 80s, in addition to applying for homesteads, villagers in rural areas could also apply for private plots.

This private plot is for the villagers to grow vegetables, raise livestock, and build courtyards; it's perfect for them.

The family discussed how to build the small villa in the courtyard for a while, then ended their conversation, washed up, and went back to their room to sleep.

……

"Brother Liang Ming, my future is entirely on your shoulders."

The next morning, at the Taoyuan Township Police Station, Wang Jiu, holding his written report, arrived at the station chief's office with great enthusiasm, muttering to himself.

After taking a deep breath, he slowly knocked on the door.

At that moment, he was not just knocking on an office door, but also on his own career path.

"Come in!"

Immediately afterwards, a strong male voice came from the director's office.

Wang Jiu then pushed open the door and walked in.

Inside the office, a middle-aged man in a police uniform was reviewing documents.

If Liang Ming were here, he would recognize this middle-aged man as Li Wenzhong, the director of Taoyuan Township Police Station and deputy mayor of Taoyuan Township.

Twenty years from now, Taoyuan County will be a ***!

In his past life, this great man was exceptionally capable, solving many major cases and making significant contributions to the development of Taoyuan County.
