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

"I..." Gou Dan stammered, unsure how to explain.

Liang Ming, who was standing to the side, quickly explained for him, saying, "This lady, our Brother Gou Dan is a rather low-key person. He usually does some business selling mountain products and river delicacies."

The fishpond was newly leased, so we haven't told anyone about it yet.

“Yes, we all go with Brother Gou Dan to beg for some money for food,” Chicken Boy chimed in.

“Brother Gou Dan often tells us that when doing business, you have to keep a low profile,” Ama chimed in.

At this moment, Gou Dan could easily understand that his brothers were supporting him.

His eyes were filled with gratitude as he looked at Liang Ming and the others.

Upon hearing this, the girl exclaimed to Gou Dan, "Brother Gou Dan, you're amazing!"

"No, it's just that my brothers think highly of me and are willing to help me," Gou Dan said, blushing.

With Liang Ming and the others joining in, the conversation between Gou Dan and the little girl finally became lively.

In addition, Liang Ming and the others kept saying good things about Gou Dan, which made the little girl like Gou Dan even more.

In addition, since the mid-80s, the social status of self-employed individuals and private business owners has been rising, and many young women have begun to look at men who do business with a different eye.

So the little girl started chatting with Gou Dan on her own initiative.

"Brother Gou Dan, I'm not very good at riding a bicycle yet. Could you use your diesel tricycle to help me take my bicycle back and give me a ride home?"

After exiting the department store, the little girl asked Dog Egg.

"This..." Gou Dan hesitated upon hearing this.

Although he already knew that the other party's home was nearby, it was still Liang Ming's tricycle.

"What? Is it not allowed?" The little girl looked disappointed upon hearing this.

"Of course, it's only a kilometer or two. Our Brother Gou Dan is the most generous person ever."

Liang Ming, who was standing nearby, quickly spoke up for Gou Dan.

After saying that, he didn't forget to wink at Gou Dan.

Since it concerns the happiness of his brothers, he, as the eldest brother, has to help.

Moreover, in the past two days, Jiwa and his friends have come to his house quite often to test drive his diesel tricycle, and none of them had any problems with their driving skills.

After receiving Liang Ming's permission, Gou Dan was overjoyed and quickly said, "Yes, no problem, I'll take you back."

After saying that, he turned to Liang Ming and the others and said, "I'll see her off first, and then I'll come back to pick you up and take you back to the village."

As he said this, Gou Dan gave Liang Ming a grateful look.

Liang Ming waved his hand and said, "Brother Gou Dan, be careful on the road."

After Gou Dan drove the tricycle and dropped the little girl off at the department store, Ji Wa and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"This show is finally over. I was really afraid I'd give myself away," Chicken Boy said.

"Brother Liang Ming, isn't it a bit wrong for us to help Gou Dan and deceive other people's young girls like this?"

Ah Ma is rather honest and kind, he said.

"Lies? Where did we lie?" Liang Ming asked in return.

Both of them were taken aback.

“Brother Liang Ming, we’ve been saying that your tricycle belongs to Gou Dan, and that Gou Dan has contracted a fishpond in the village.”

"You even said Gou Dan was a small business owner? Isn't that a lie?" Ama said in astonishment.

"Chicken Boy, Mom, are you really planning to spend your whole lives doing small business like digging for mountain produce and fishing for river delicacies?"

Liang Ming smiled and asked in return.

"Brother Liang Ming, what do you mean?" Chicken Boy's eyes lit up slightly, as if he realized something.

Liang Ming looked at Jiwa and Ama and said, "You two go up the mountain and down the river every day. Although you can earn some hard-earned money, you can't make it on a large scale."

"My idea is to contract out the back mountain of our village and the fishpond behind my house after a while."

"Plant some gastrodia elata and ginseng on the mountain, and raise some fish in the fishpond."

At this point, Liang Ming paused for a moment.

Seeing that Chicken Baby and Ama's mouths were slightly agape, he continued:

"This way, it won't interfere with your business of selling mountain and river delicacies, and you'll also have a stable source of goods."

Selling medicinal herbs and fish are both very profitable businesses.

"When you go out and make a living in the future, you'll be considered small business owners."

Upon hearing Liang Ming's description of the scene, both Jiwa and Ama became excited.

"Brother Liang Ming, are you serious? Can we really become medicinal herb merchants (fish bosses)?"

They both asked at the same time.

“Of course!” Liang Ming nodded and said.

"But we don't have that much money to contract the mountains and fishponds..."

The little chicken calmed down first and said with concern.

When Ama heard what Jiwa said, the smile on her face disappeared.

"You don't need to worry about the money."

Liang Ming said:

“In the early stages, I will pay for the mountain and fish ponds, and purchase medicinal seedlings and fish fry. You will be responsible for planting medicinal herbs and raising fish.”

"After we make money, we'll split it 50/50."

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Jiwa and Ama were moved to tears.

Liang Ming's actions were tantamount to throwing money at them and helping them get rich.

Even brothers or parents might not be able to do this.

"Brother Liang Ming, splitting it 50/50 is too unfair to you. How about 70/30?"

The chicken-child said:

"You get seven, we get three."

"Yes, 70/30. We'll just put in the brute force, and you'll pay for everything. That's the fair way."

Ama quickly echoed.

Hearing their words, Liang Ming felt a warmth in his heart.

Having witnessed the snobbishness and meanness of the Song family in his previous life, Liang Ming couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw the "Chicken Baby" group, who, despite the enormous temptation of profit, still insisted on a 70/30 split.

No wonder the three kids never made much money in their previous lives.

A person with a conscience cannot make money through dishonest means.

However, with Liang Ming's protection in this life, it would be quite easy for Jiwa and the others to become millionaires by doing business in medicinal herbs and selling fish.

“We’re all brothers, there’s no need to be so particular, let’s just split it 50/50.”

Liang Ming waved his hand and insisted.

"Brother Liang Ming, we owe you more and more," Jiwa said with a wry smile.

Ama nodded in agreement.

Liang Ming didn't dwell on this topic for long, but instead addressed Ama:

"Once I contract the mountain and the fishpond, you will all be bosses."

Once you've made some money, buying a diesel tricycle will be a piece of cake.

"Ama, are you still saying I was helping Gou Dan deceive other girls?"

Ama quickly shook her head: "Brother Liang Ming, I was short-sighted. You are right!"

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming smiled.

Soon, Gou Dan dropped the little girl off at home and drove back with a smile on his face.

"Dog Egg, it seems that woman is quite satisfied with you? After a few more meetings, we can have your wedding banquet?"

Seeing this, Liang Ming quipped.

Both the baby and his mother had mischievous grins on their faces.

Gou Dan blushed and said, "Brother Liang Ming, please stop joking with me. If you guys hadn't helped me just now, I might have had an awkward silence."

Seeing that Gou Dan understood, Liang Ming smiled and said:

"We're all brothers, if we don't help you, who will?"

"Brother Liang Ming, is it really okay for me to lie to people like this?"

Dog Egg looked worried and said:

"What if she finds out later that I'm not the boss and this car isn't mine?"

"Dog Egg, you really need to remember Brother Liang Ming's kindness for this."

"He's really going all out to make you his boss," Chicken said to Dog Egg.

"Dog Egg, you'd better work hard like a slave from now on to repay Brother Liang Ming," Ama said.

Dog Egg looked puzzled when he heard what the two said.

When Gou Dan learned from Jiwa and the other boy that Liang Ming planned to contract the back mountain and fishpond in the village, he felt like kneeling down and kowtowing to Liang Ming.

"Brother Liang Ming, I..."

"Alright, enough with the mushy stuff."

From now on, you all work hard, and we'll get rich together!

Liang Ming interrupted Gou Dan's mushy words and said.

"If you feel bad about it, do me a favor..."
