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

Liu Ming thought for a moment, seemingly organizing his thoughts, and then spoke to Liang Ming:

"Boss Wang Ren's cannery is located in Taoyuan Town, which isn't exactly remote, but during construction, he encountered a problem: the foundation for the factory just wouldn't go in..."

After listening to Liu Ming's words, Liang Ming looked at Wang Ren with a sigh.

At first, he thought that Liu Ming's claim about bad feng shui was some kind of supernatural event.

Later, I realized that wasn't the case.

All I can say is that Wang Ren is an unlucky guy.

The person who bought the factory bought a rocky plot of land, the ground was all rocks, and it took a lot of effort to build the factory.

I had just bought the equipment and was preparing to produce canned fruit when we encountered three consecutive years of bumper fruit harvests.

People are all rushing to eat fresh fruit; who's going to buy his canned fruit?

After several years of struggling, he had emptied his savings but hadn't made a single penny.

"I see. In that case, we can only say that Mr. Wang Ren was just unlucky. His factory should be fine."

Liang Ming said.

"That's true, but with so many things happening to him, who dares to say that the factory's feng shui isn't problematic?"

Liu Ming lowered his voice and reminded Liang Ming:

"Didn't you see that the other bosses didn't dare to respond to him?"

"If I take over this kind of factory, I don't know if it will ruin my own fortune."

Hearing Liu Ming's somewhat superstitious words, Liang Ming remained noncommittal.

However, most business people do believe in feng shui.

"Brother Liang Ming, please don't act rashly!" Liu Ming specially instructed him at this moment.

Liang Ming knew the other party meant well, so he nodded and said, "Director Liu, I understand what you mean, and I will consider it."

When Boss Wang Ren saw that no one responded to him, a look of disappointment flashed across his face. He gave an awkward smile and said nothing more.

After a promotion banquet, both the host and guests were happy.

After the event, Liang Ming found Wang Ren and said, "Boss Wang Ren, let's talk about the transfer of your cannery?"

Wang Ren was just about to leave on his motorcycle when he heard Liang Ming's words and his expression brightened: "Boss Liang Ming, you want to buy my cannery?"

"That depends on how much the transfer fee is for your cannery."

Liang Ming smiled and said.

Seeing that the other party was interested in buying his cannery, Wang Ren quickly said, "Boss Liang Ming, shall we find a teahouse and chat over drinks?"

"No need, we can talk at Xiangmanlou," Liang Ming said to Wang Ren.

After saying that, he led Wang Ren back into Xiangmanlou and said to a waiter, "Give me a private room."

"Yes, boss." Upon hearing this, the waiter quickly led Liang Ming to a clean private room.

"Boss? This Xiangmanlou Restaurant is yours?"

Wang Ren was also taken aback when he heard what the waiter said, and looked at Liang Ming in surprise.

"I only have a small share," Liang Ming said modestly.

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Wang Ren was immediately excited.

If the other party has the financial resources, they are more likely to acquire your cannery.

“Boss Wang Ren, I’ve roughly learned about your cannery.”

"Poor management, unsold canned goods, and several months' wages owed to workers, right?"

After the waiter brought the tea and pastries, Liang Ming got straight to the point and spoke to Wang Ren.

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Wang Ren gave an awkward smile and said, "Boss Liang Ming, since you know about the situation at the cannery, you must have heard some of the rumors about it, right?"

"I've heard about it, and there's also the issue of bad feng shui," Liang Ming nodded.

Wang Ren gave an awkward smile and asked, "Since you knew all that, you still dared to buy my factory?"

"I only believe half in things like feng shui; I have more faith in my own business acumen."

Liang Ming smiled and said:

"Another reason is that if your factory didn't have this or that problem, I wouldn't be able to lower your price, right?"

Seeing Liang Ming's frankness, Wang Ren was somewhat amused and exasperated: "Mr. Liang, you're right."

"The fact that our cannery has bad feng shui has spread throughout Taoyuan County."

"Many customers are hesitant to buy our factory's canned goods for this reason."

"And this rumor about bad feng shui actually originated from another food processing plant in our county."

"Did it come from another food processing plant?" Upon hearing this, Liang Ming's face also showed a strange expression.

It turns out that Wang Ren's cannery did not fail because of superstition, but because of the despicable business wars.

"Mr. Wang Ren, let's not dwell on the past. What price are you planning to sell your cannery for?"

Liang Ming looked directly at Wang Ren and asked.

Wang Ren fell silent upon hearing this.

This cannery is the culmination of his hard work.

He wouldn't have sold it if he wasn't really broke.

"Boss Liang Ming, is this price acceptable?"

After thinking it over carefully, Wang Ren tentatively held up five fingers and said...

"5 yuan?" Liang Ming exclaimed in surprise.

"Boss Wang Ren, you really dare to ask for that."

In this day and age, building a small cannery, including the cost of land, factory buildings, and equipment, would cost at most tens of thousands of yuan.

Wang Ren's cannery has been in operation for several years, and the factory buildings and equipment are old.

And this costs 5 yuan?

"Boss Liang Ming, I have no choice. We still owe the workers their wages."

Wang Ren gave a bitter smile and said helplessly:

“I have to pay them their wages and severance pay.”

Upon hearing Wang Ren's reason, Liang Ming's expression softened somewhat.

Before selling the factory, he still knew to make up for the workers' overdue wages. This boss, Wang Ren, is quite benevolent.

“I can’t accept a transfer fee of 5 yuan for the cannery,” Liang Ming said in a deep voice, looking directly at Wang Ren.

"As expected, is it still not possible?"

Wang Ren was somewhat disappointed upon receiving Liang Ming's reply.

But now, he has reached a dead end, and he has to sell the cannery.

"Boss Liang Ming, how much can you offer?" Wang Ren asked.

"3 yuan," Liang Ming said, holding up three fingers.

"Boss Liang Ming, you're putting too much pressure on us, it's really bullying..."

Upon hearing the price, Wang Ren suddenly stood up.

His target price is at least 35,000 yuan.

Before Wang Ren could finish speaking, Liang Ming added, "I'll cover the wages owed to the cannery workers."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ren swallowed back the words he was about to say and instead said, "Boss Liang Ming, you are truly compassionate and benevolent beyond compare..."

Hearing Wang Ren's flattering words, Liang Ming was both amused and exasperated:

"Mr. Wang Ren, if you have no objections, then we'll proceed with this price?"
