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

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming quickly explained, "Sister Meizhuang, please don't misunderstand."

"My mom thought that you bought my mountain produce, river delicacies, and braised duck, giving me a business to run."

She wanted to thank you properly, so she specially invited you to her home for dinner.

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Jiang Meizhuang realized that she had misunderstood, and her face immediately turned red.

"So that's it."

“Since it’s your invitation, Auntie, I can’t refuse,” Jiang Meizhuang said, her expression quickly returning to normal.

Upon hearing Jiang Meizhuang's agreement, Liang Ming felt inexplicably happy and said, "Then I'll come pick you up tonight."

"it is good!"

After arranging a time with Jiang Meizhuang, Liang Ming left Xiangmanlou Restaurant pulling a mule cart.

On the way to the county high school, Liang Ming was also pondering to himself.

It's said that one should marry a virtuous wife, like Jiang Meizhuang, who is beautiful, virtuous, and capable...

Isn't she the soulmate he's been dreaming of?

"I want to marry her!" Liang Ming murmured to himself.

From that moment on, in addition to making money, building mansions, buying luxury cars, and providing a good life for his parents and sister, he had another goal.

Full of enthusiasm, Liang Ming soon arrived at the county middle school, set up a stall, and started selling braised duck.

Upon seeing Liang Ming arrive, many parents gathered around.

"Boss, you've finally arrived! Give me a braised duck."

"I'll have one too. This braised duck is so delicious, the more you eat it, the more you love it."

"Moreover, the medicinal effects of this braised duck are really good. After my child ate it, he was full of energy when doing his homework at night."

As Liang Ming packed braised ducks for the parents, he listened to their feedback.

Seeing that everyone enjoyed his braised duck, Liang Ming was also happy.

Soon, all 50 braised ducks on the stall were sold out.

Many parents complained upon seeing this:

"Boss, your braised duck is selling out way too fast."

"Yes, there's only this much braised duck every day, how can that be enough for anyone?"

"Boss, why don't you make some more braised duck this afternoon, and then come back to sell it after school?"

"Yes, we can pay a deposit first."

Hearing the parents' enthusiastic words, Liang Ming politely brushed them off, telling them to come back tomorrow.

After the parents left, Liang Ming prepared to pack up and leave.

Just then, a young woman wearing a cotton-padded coat walked over hesitantly.

"Boss, can I talk to you about something?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming assumed the other party wanted to buy braised duck and politely replied:

"Sorry, ma'am, we've sold out of braised duck at our stall. If you want some, you'll have to wait until tomorrow."

To everyone's surprise, the young woman shook her head and said, "Boss, I'm not here to buy braised duck."

"So you mean..." Liang Ming asked, looking puzzled.

"I want to ask you if you can teach me how to make this braised duck. I want to learn how to make it and sell it."

The young woman said somewhat embarrassedly.

At this point, she quickly added, "Don't worry, I can pay the tuition."

"Moreover, once I've learned how to do it, I promise I won't sell in the same place as you."

Upon hearing the young woman's words, Liang Ming's face showed a look of surprise, and he looked her up and down.

This young woman has delicate features and a simple, honest face; she is the epitome of a domestic woman.

But the fact that she was able to realize the business opportunity in his braised duck so quickly and bravely offer to pay tuition to learn shows that she is a woman with ideas.

In the mid-80s, under the spring breeze of reform and opening up, such people could achieve great things no matter what they did.

"Excuse me, ma'am, I don't just teach you how to make braised duck."

But Liang Ming still spoke up to the young woman.

He now earns nearly 1000 yuan a day from his braised duck business.

Unless he's stupid, he wouldn't leak the recipe and method.

It can be said that as long as Liang Ming monopolizes the braised duck business, he can easily make a fortune in the next few years.

"So it still doesn't work?" The young woman was somewhat disappointed upon hearing Liang Ming's words.

Since her husband passed away, the family has had very little savings left.

She was thinking of starting a small business to support her parents-in-law and children.

In the past few days, she noticed that Liang Ming's braised duck stall business was doing very well.

I was thinking about whether I could learn how to make braised duck and then set up a stall in other places.

"Ma'am, judging from your clothes, you don't seem to be from a wealthy family."

Liang Ming looked at the young woman and slowly said:

"If you want to learn my braised duck recipe, you might have to empty your pockets and still not be able to make it."

"Besides, you'll need money to buy more stock later."

Judging from the young woman's clothes, he knew she was from the lower class.

Sure enough, the young woman gave a wry smile and said, "Boss, you're right. I really don't have much money on hand right now."

“My husband died young, and I have two elderly people and a child to take care of.”

Liang Ming thought for a moment and said, "Big sister, do you think this is okay?"

"I'm planning to open a braised duck shop, and you'll work for me."

"Once you've worked at my shop for a year and saved up enough money, I can let you franchise my shop."

Opening a braised duck shop was an idea Liang Ming had when he was selling braised duck at a street stall.

The business of selling braised duck is doing well now, so it's time to put the plan to open a shop on the agenda.

"Franchise?" The young woman was hearing this term for the first time and didn't quite understand.

"Franchising means you pay a tuition fee and then open another braised duck shop under my brand."

I'll provide you with the braising spice packet; you braise the ducks yourself and sell them. I'll only take a small portion of the profit; you keep the lion's share.

Liang Ming explained.

Upon hearing this, the young woman's face showed a look of sudden realization.

Immediately, a glint appeared in her eyes.

"Boss, if I work for you for a year, will you really let me join your franchise?" the young woman asked repeatedly.

It has to be said that Liang Ming's proposed solution was the most suitable for her.

“Of course, it wouldn’t do me any good to lie to you,” Liang Ming nodded.

"Boss, I agree, I'll work for you," the young woman nodded.

After some conversation, Liang Ming learned that the other person's name was Qin Fang and that her home was in the poor area of ​​the county town.

Liang Ming had developed a desire to cultivate this new employee who had a good business sense and good character.

"Here's 150 yuan. I need a restaurant shop of about 200 square meters!"

Liang Ming took out a wad of cash, stuffed it into Qin Fang's hand, and said:

"No matter what you do, after deducting the shop rent, the remaining money will be your monthly salary in the future."

Based on current rental prices in Taoyuan County, the rent for a 200-square-meter shop is between 70 and 120 yuan.

How far Qin Fang can push the rent down depends on her skills.

This can be considered Liang Ming's first test of Qin Fang's abilities.

"Boss, you're giving me so much money, you're not thinking of keeping me as a mistress, are you?" Qin Fang looked at Liang Ming with her beautiful eyes, bit her red lips lightly, and nervously squeezed her legs together.
