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

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Jiang Tongji knew what he was worried about.

Immediately, Jiang Tongji looked at Liang Ming with a serious expression and said:

"Mr. Liang, don't worry. Once you invest in this brick factory, the management and operation rights will definitely be yours. Our Taoyuan Township government will not interfere!"

"Our township has only one request: we hope you can increase the turnover of the red brick factory and bring economic benefits to our township!"

At this point, Jiang Tongji looked at Wu Yong, the factory director of the red brick factory, and asked, "Director Wu, is that what you mean?"

Upon hearing Jiang Tongji's words, Wu Yong quickly nodded and said, "That's right, Boss Liang, as long as you can revive the Red Brick Factory's business, I'll be the first to support you!"

For Wu Yong, the red brick factory is like his child.

The child is facing a problem and is about to die.

He would support anyone who could save his child, no matter who it was.

Hearing Jiang Tongji and Wu Yong's words, Liang Ming's lips curled into a smile, and he chuckled, "Since Mayor Jiang and Factory Director Wu have both said so, I am indeed interested in investing in this red brick factory!"

"I just don't know how much money I need to spend to become a shareholder in this brick factory?"

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Jiang Tongji and Wu Yong exchanged a glance.

Because Liang Ming and Jiang Tongji were conducting a surprise inspection today, no one was prepared.

No one expected that the investment in the red brick factory would go so smoothly.

Moreover, Jiang Tongji's initial plan was to sell the brick factory directly, properly resettle the workers, and then consider the matter closed.

But after thinking that having Liang Ming cooperate with the Red Brick Factory and let Liang Ming manage the Red Brick Factory might lead to a better future, Jiang Tongji suddenly changed his mind.

After all, as the township head, Jiang Tongji couldn't possibly be unaware of the principle that one should be full at every meal.

If one simply partners with other businessmen to operate the brick factory, they might still end up losing everything.

But Jiang Tongji believed that cooperating with Liang Ming would definitely be a sure thing.

Now that Liang Ming has asked about the price for the shares, he and Wu Yong really need to have a serious discussion about it.

"Director Wu, I remember when the red brick factory was doing its financial accounting before, they said that all the assets together were worth 5 yuan?"

Township Head Jiang turned to look at Wu Yong and asked.

Upon hearing this, Wu Yong nodded and said, "That's true. Even if our brick factory goes bankrupt and is liquidated, we can still have 5 yuan left!"

Upon hearing Wu Yong's words, Jiang Tongji nodded, turned to look at Liang Ming, and said;

"Boss Liang, you heard it too. If the brick factory is sold directly, it can fetch 50,000 yuan. If you want to invest now and take over the management rights, you'll need to invest at least 50% of the shares!"

"Therefore, you must contribute at least half of the total value of the red brick factory as equity investment!"

"That is, yuan!"

Upon hearing Jiang Tongji's words, Liang Ming nodded slightly and said, "Yuan? That investment requirement is reasonable!"

"Okay, let's calculate it based on this value and sign the cooperation agreement today!"

Upon seeing Liang Ming's agreement, Jiang Tongji's face lit up with joy, and he immediately instructed Wu Yong to prepare the contract.

When Wu Yong saw that a major investor had entered, he knew that the Red Brick Factory would no longer be a nationally recognized enterprise.

However, he was very open-minded and immediately went to prepare a cooperation agreement.

After signing the cooperation agreement, Liang Ming went to the township post office and transferred the money to the township government's fund account provided by Jiang Tongji.

When Liang Ming returned to the brick factory, the workers there looked at him with complicated expressions.

Clearly, they already knew that the red brick factory had been privately owned and would become a semi-state-owned, semi-private enterprise.

"Boss Liang, would you like to say a few words to the workers?"

Wu Yong looked at Liang Ming with a respectful expression and said.

Knowing that Liang Ming had become his new boss, Wu Yong had no other thoughts but to work hard under his new boss.

If the Red Brick Factory can truly shine under Liang Ming's leadership, it would be something very gratifying for him.

Hearing Wu Yong's words, Liang Ming nodded, then turned to look at the group of workers at the red brick factory and slowly spoke.

"Workers of the red brick factory, I'm sure your factory manager, Mr. Wu, has already briefly told you about me before I came here."

The workers below all nodded slightly.

"Then I won't waste any more words. I'll just say a few points here."

"Although the Red Brick Factory is no longer a state-owned brick factory, and you are no longer guaranteed a job, I can assure you that your future will be brighter than ever before!"

Liang Ming said with a serious expression.

The brick factory workers below remained calm and showed little reaction when they heard Liang Ming's words.

For them, such empty words could not sway their minds.

Liang Ming also knew that making empty promises meant nothing to these brick factory workers.

If they no longer have secure jobs, then give them a generous salary.

Immediately, Liang Ming announced: "Starting today, all workers in our brick factory will receive a 30% pay raise!"

"That means a worker who used to earn only 30 yuan a month can earn nearly 40 yuan next month!"

Wow!

As expected, Liang Ming's words shocked and caused an uproar among the workers present.

Nothing much, it was the pay rise that excited them even more.

In fact, due to poor management, the brick factory has been paying all workers only the minimum wage for the past few months, without any subsidies.

Although these brick factory workers love the red brick factory and respect Director Wu Yong, many of them have families, and over the past few months, many of them have been struggling to make ends meet.

Liang Ming's arrival directly solved their immediate problem.

Suddenly, many brick factory workers looked at Liang Ming with newfound respect.

Even losing the identity of a state-owned worker wasn't so regrettable.

If you can barely afford to eat, what's the point of having state-owned worker status?

The working class is so endearing; most of them are very simple-minded. As long as they have food to eat and a stable job, they are content.

Seeing the workers' happy expressions, Wu Yong felt extremely guilty.

The brick factory, under its own management, is getting worse day by day.

This is a responsibility I must bear.

"Workers, Mr. Liang is so generous, shouldn't you all quickly thank him?"

Immediately, Wu Yong spoke up and shouted at the workers.

Upon hearing Wu Yong's words, the workers all realized what was happening and began to shout:

“The boss is awesome!”

"Thank you boss!"

Hearing the workers' voices, Liang Ming's lips curled up, and he waved his hand slightly, indicating that the workers didn't need to shout anymore.

"Fellow workers, I'm raising your wages not just because you're struggling financially, but also because our brick factory is about to undergo a major reform..."

reform?

Upon hearing this, the workers immediately tensed up.

Every factory reform means that workers will be laid off...
