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

Because producing tiles takes about 15 days, Liang Ming spent the next two weeks either visiting the Taoyuan Township Tile Factory to check on the production progress or visiting Liangji Canned Food Factory and the Golden Winery in Shitou Township.

Production at Liang's Canned Food Factory and Golden Winery is already on track, and even if Liang Ming, the boss, is not present, it will not affect production.

However, Liang Ming still came to visit frequently, just to let the workers in the factory know that he, as the boss, cared a lot about the production status of the two factories.

Besides that, Liang Ming spent his days going to Xiangmanlou Restaurant to see Jiang Meizhuang and cultivate their relationship.

"Liang Ming, the village postman is looking for your house. You should go back and check on him!"

On this day, Liang Ming was at Liang's Canned Food Factory, tasting the newly produced canned longan.

It's longan season now, so Liangji Canned Fruit Factory mainly produces canned longan.

He was taken aback when he heard that the cadres from the village collective office had suddenly come to the factory to find him.

"The village postman?"

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

The first thing that came to his mind was who had written to him.

But upon closer reflection, it seems I don't know any friends from other provinces.

The furthest of my friends lives in Taoyuan County. If they need anything, they can just come to my house.

Seemingly sensing Liang Ming's confusion, the village official smiled and chuckled, "Liang Ming, that postman isn't here to see you, he's here to see your sister!"

"Damn, your acceptance letter has arrived!"

Only after being reminded by the village officials did Liang Ming realize what was happening.

It has been almost two months since the college entrance examination.

Many students have already received their admission notices.

During this time, my younger sister has also been waiting for her admission notice from the Provincial University of Political Science and Law.

Several times, when he saw his sister at the Xiangmanlou Restaurant, he noticed that she looked somewhat dazed.

Clearly, the younger sister has been under a lot of pressure lately, fearing that she might fail the exam.

After all, in those days, the college entrance examination acceptance rate was not high. If you were not accepted, you could only repeat a year or go out to find a job.

Now that he heard his sister's college acceptance letter had arrived, Liang Ming was also excited.

"I wonder which university's acceptance letter it is?"

Liang Ming immediately ran to Liangjia Village with the village officials, and said somewhat nervously on the way.

Besides the University of Political Science and Law, my sister also filled out other university applications. I just don't know if she was admitted to the University of Political Science and Law or if she was admitted through the supplementary admission process of the two other universities she applied to.

"Xiaojing is so smart, she will definitely be admitted to the best university."

The village official smiled and said to Liang Ming.

Those who can become village collective cadres are either villagers from the village or from nearby villages.

In short, they were all very close friends.

Hearing the village official's words, Liang Ming smiled and said, "That's true!"

Soon, the two returned to Liangjia Village and stood in front of the Liang family's courtyard.

At this moment, the postman was already outside the gate of the Liang family's courtyard.

Besides them, there's also village chief Liang Jianguo, as well as Gou Dan, A Ma, and Ji Wa.

"Liang Ming, you're finally back! The postman has been waiting at the door for a long time."

Upon seeing Liang Ming return, village chief Liang Jianguo quickly spoke to Liang Ming.

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming quickly pulled a pack of Liqun cigarettes from his pocket, stuffed it into the postman's hand, and apologized.

"I'm sorry, postman, my family and I are always out doing business, so no one is home most of the time. We've kept you waiting."

The postman traveled a long way to Liangjia Village and waited at the Liang family's door for a long time, but no one came back. It would be impossible for him not to feel resentful.

However, when he saw the Liqun cigarettes that Liang Ming handed him, the slight resentment in his heart immediately vanished.

"Sir, what are you saying? We postmen are out there every day, rain or shine, we encounter all sorts of situations. I only waited a little while, it's no big deal."

The postman smiled and said.

"Brother Postman, let's not stand here talking. Come inside with me, let's have some water first, and then we can talk slowly."

Seeing that the postman wasn't angry, Liang Ming quickly said...

The postman did not refuse Liang Ming's suggestion and nodded, saying, "To be honest, I'm a bit thirsty after running such a long way. I'll trouble you then."

"No disturbance, no disturbance, please come in!"

Liang Ming said with a smile.

As he spoke, he opened the gate to the courtyard and pulled the postman into the yard.

The village chief, Ama, and the others followed them inside.

After entering the courtyard, Ama and the others helped greet the postman, bringing out stools and electric fans to dry him.

Liang Ming went inside, took out a few bottles of Arctic Ocean soda from the refrigerator, and then dispersed the postman and Ama.

"Hey postman, it's so hot, have some soda to cool down!"

Liang Ming said with a smile.

The postman looked surprised when he saw the Arctic Ocean soda Liang Ming handed him.

He thought it would be good enough if his host could just pour him a glass of water, but he never expected them to give him Arctic Ocean soda.

This Arctic Ocean soda is no cheap drink. Although it's not as expensive as Coca-Cola, it still costs 5 cents a bottle, and that's the price for the recycled glass bottle. If you include the cost of the glass bottle, it's at least 3 cents a bottle.

A pound of rice only costs 3 cents.

So when the postman saw Liang Ming treating him to Arctic Ocean soda, he was somewhat flattered.

"This soft drink isn't cheap, I can't possibly accept this," the postman said somewhat embarrassedly.

Upon hearing the postman's words, Liang Ming smiled and said;

"Brother Postman, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. You've come all this way, and you're all sweaty. We can afford to treat you to a bottle of soda!"

Seeing that the host had said so, the postman finally accepted the Arctic Ocean soda.

At this moment, Liang Ming spoke up, getting to the point, and asked, "Brother Postman, I wonder if you've come today to deliver my sister's college acceptance letter?"

The postman was about to open his Arctic Ocean soda to drink, but upon hearing Liang Ming's words, he put the soda down and nodded, saying, "That's right, I'm here to deliver Liang Jing's admission notice from the Provincial University of Political Science and Law!"

"I wonder who this Liang Jing is to you?"

As they were talking, the postman took the acceptance letter out of his bag.

When Liang Ming saw the admission notice in the postman's hand, his eyes lit up and he quickly said, "Liang Jing is my sister!"

After saying that, he reached out to take it.

To everyone's surprise, the postman saw Liang Ming's actions and quickly took the admission notice back.

Seeing this, Liang Ming was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Brother Postman, what's going on?"

"I'm sorry, this admission notice must be signed for in person. Even if you are Liang Jing's brother, I cannot give it to you!"

The postman explained apologetically.

He had just taken someone else's soda, and as the saying goes, "He who takes a bribe is bound to be obligated," which certainly applied to him.
