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

After finalizing the name of the braised duck shop, Liang Ming said to Qin Fang:

"Okay, I'll leave the shop to you. I have other things to attend to."

Seeing that Liang Ming intended to wash his hands of the matter, Qin Fang's face showed a hint of nervousness.

"Boss, are you just going to abandon this?"

Qin Fang panicked when she saw Liang Ming about to leave.

"What else? I've already taught you how to make braised duck and told you the selling price. You can run a shop all by yourself, right?"

Liang Ming said.

"Boss, that's true..." Qin Fang said through gritted teeth.

This was, after all, her first time opening a shop to sell braised duck.

I always feel uneasy without someone to guide me.

"Alright, I believe you can do this well."

Liang Ming didn't give Qin Fang a chance to speak, patted her on the shoulder, and encouraged her:

"I'll come back to check on them later. You can sell these 200 braised ducks slowly."

Hearing the trust in Liang Ming's words, Qin Fang swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

With the boss having such faith in her abilities, how could she say she wasn't capable?

After leaving the county high school, Liang Ming had a smile on his face.

Starting today, his first braised duck shop is officially open for business.

Next, let's see how well Qin Fang manages this braised duck shop.

If this model of providing spice packets, having employees handle the braising process, and then selling the braised duck could be implemented in this day and age...

Then he can continue to replicate this model and make the "Liang Hei Ya" brand bigger and stronger.

Soon, Liang Ming delivered the duck feathers to the Second Sports Equipment Factory.

In the factory, many workers showed gratitude on their faces when they saw Liang Ming.

Liang Ming noticed the workers' respect and felt a little puzzled.

"Brother Liang Ming, you've come at the right time. I have two pieces of good news to tell you."

As soon as Liang Ming arrived at the logistics office, Director Qin excitedly grabbed him and said...

"Director Qin, is there some good news?" Liang Ming asked with a smile.

"The first thing is your suggestion that we bundle football and baseball together for sale. After our factory implemented it, we quickly received many orders from customers."

Director Qin said to Liang Ming with a grateful expression;

"Currently, we have sold 50% of the stockpiled soccer balls and baseball equipment in our factory."

"At this rate of sales, they can all be sold out in less than a week."

"Director Qin, congratulations!"

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming smiled and said:

"After this batch of goods is sold, your logistics department should be able to get other materials and produce other sporting goods."

For the logistics department of the Second Sports Equipment Factory, they could make a profit simply by purchasing materials.

Hearing Liang Ming's words, Director Qin chuckled and said, "It's alright, it's alright, it's just work."

"Director Qin, what's the second piece of good news?"

Liang Ming did not dwell on this topic.

Upon hearing this, Director Qin seized the opportunity to change the subject, saying, "The second piece of good news is that the fixed-gear bicycle you designed for our factory is now in mass production."

"Moreover, the sample has already been shown to the owners of the sporting goods stores downstairs, and they all really like this fixed-gear bicycle."

"The initial order quantity has already reached 1000 vehicles!"

1000 vehicles?

Upon hearing this news, Liang Ming's face showed a hint of surprise.

You have to understand, bicycles weren't cheap these days.

Although it was not in limited supply like it was in the early 1980s.

But now, if you want to buy a bicycle, you have to spend over a hundred yuan.

Each vehicle costs around 100 yuan, so 1000 vehicles would require an order of over 100,000 yuan.

"Director Qin, so your Second Sports Equipment Factory is going to make a fortune this time?"

Liang Ming said with a smile.

These 1000 orders are just initial orders.

With the allure of fixed-gear bicycles, they are sure to spark a sports craze in Taoyuan City.

At that time, Taoyuan County Second Sports Equipment Factory will definitely make a fortune.

"Brother Liang Ming, it's not just our factory that's going to make a fortune, you're going to get rich too."

Director Qin smiled and said to Liang Ming.

"I want to get rich too? What does that have to do with me?"

Liang Ming was somewhat confused when he heard what Director Qin said.

"Brother Liang Ming, if it weren't for the great design of your fixed-gear bicycle, our factory wouldn't have secured so many orders."

“I, Qin, have some influence in the factory. I’ve applied for a technology fee, which is about 5% of the order amount, and it’s specifically for you.”

Director Qin said to Liang Ming.

5% of the order amount?

Liang Ming was stunned when he heard Director Qin's words.

The order for these 1000 fixed-gear bicycles cost over 100,000 yuan. With a 5% commission, that's about 5,000 to 6,000 yuan.

"Lord Qin... Brother Qin, I can't accept this. I've already received the design fee from you."

Liang Ming said somewhat modestly.

He traded braised duck, duck feathers, and mountain and river delicacies, and only earned a few thousand yuan after more than a week of work.

You can make this much money just by designing a bicycle?

“Design fees are design fees, and technical fees are technical fees; they cannot be discussed together.”

When Director Qin heard Liang Ming call him "Brother Qin," a smile crept onto his lips, and he said:

"Brother Liang Ming, you've helped me so many times, I can't let you suffer a loss, can I?"

Liang Ming wanted to say something more.

Director Qin slammed his fist on the table and said definitively, "Alright, this matter is settled. In a little while, take my brochure to settle the payment for the duck feathers and the technical fees."

Seeing that Director Qin had said this, Liang Ming didn't know what to say.

When Liang Ming left the Second Sports Equipment Factory, he had nearly 7000 yuan in cash on his hands.

Through this incident, Liang Ming also realized that Director Qin was a friend he could make.

"Brother Qin is really a righteous man. It's such a waste to keep someone like him in a state-owned factory."

"If he were willing to go into business, he might have a much wider world to explore."

Liang Ming felt that someone as talented as Director Qin could be a great partner in managing the factory.

It seems he needs to find an opportunity to poach Director Qin from the Second Sports Equipment Factory.

……

A dock for the Tanka people in western Taoyuan County.

Song Qiang stood under a coconut tree, his gaze fixed on the seaside.

Soon, a wooden boat modified with a diesel engine sped up and stopped in front of Song Qiang.

"A new face?" The boat captain looked at Song Qiang warily.

The two men behind him had already reached for their back pockets, where a replica pistol was tucked.

"Don't be nervous. I was introduced by Brother Sheng. He's still inside and can't get out, so he asked me to take over his business."

When Song Qiang saw that the other party wanted to take out money, he quickly said...

"Goldman Sachs people?" The ship captain's face darkened upon hearing this. "He actually dared to send someone!"

The two men behind him immediately pulled out pistols and pointed them at Song Qiang's head.

"Boss, don't shoot! Isn't there some misunderstanding here?"

Having someone hold his head against his neck, Song Qiang was terrified and quickly asked...
