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

When Liang Ming left Liang's Canned Food Factory, he had a box of canned peaches in his car.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Liang Ming drove back to Liangjia Village.

"Uncles and aunts, please line up and come one by one."

In the Liang family courtyard, Jiwa and his friends were directing the villagers to carry the mountain produce up in an orderly manner and weigh it.

Seeing this, Liang Ming's face showed a hint of satisfaction.

During this period, he entrusted the task of purchasing mountain produce and river delicacies in the village to Jiwa, Gou Dan, and Ama.

He was only responsible for paying.

It now seems that the three of them did a very good job of keeping accounts, calculating accounts, and weighing.

"Liang Ming is back."

"Liang Ming is back!"

At this moment, the villagers in the courtyard also saw Liang Ming return and greeted him.

After nodding to them, Liang Ming walked up to Jiwa and the others and asked, "How's it going? How did the mountain produce come about?"

"Brother Liangming, after weighing them, each family had about 12 jin (6 catties)." Jiwa hurriedly brought over the ledger and replied.

After checking the ledger and confirming that there were no problems, Liang Ming settled the payment with the villagers.

"Fellow villagers, starting tomorrow, I will be increasing my demand for mountain products. Each of you will be allotted 15 jin (7.5 catties). Can you handle this amount?"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the ten villagers below lit up, and they quickly said:

"no problem!"

"Make sure to complete the mission."

Don't underestimate the extra 5 jin (2.5 catties) or 2 mao (0.2 yuan) per jin (0.5 kg). That's an extra dollar a day.

After a month, I earned an extra 30 yuan.

At this rate of earning money, their monthly wages could buy them a bicycle.

Seeing the villagers' excited expressions, Liang Ming's lips curled into a smile, and he thought to himself, "It's so good to see my fellow villagers' lives getting better and better."

……

After loading the villagers' and the three children's mountain produce and river delicacies onto the car, Liang Ming drove to Xiangmanlou Restaurant in the county town.

He had just delivered the mountain produce and river delicacies to the kitchen when he ran into Jiang Meizhuang.

"Brother Liang Ming, are you really planning to buy Wang Ren's cannery?"

Jiang Meizhuang looked directly at Liang Ming with her beautiful eyes and asked.

"Sister Meizhuang, you know about this?" Liang Ming asked with a forced smile.

"I work in the catering industry, so I have the best access to information."

“I heard a few days ago that after you attended Director Liang’s promotion banquet, you invited Wang Ren for tea, and I guessed what was going on.”

Jiang Meizhuang smiled and said.

"So, Sister Meizhuang, you don't agree with my acquisition of Wang Ren's cannery?"

Liang Ming's first reaction was that Jiang Meizhuang also didn't think highly of Wang Ren's cannery.

"No, quite the opposite, I think you have good taste," Jiang Meizhuang said, her red lips curving upwards.

"Everyone says that Wang Ren's cannery has bad feng shui, but only I know that the location and equipment of his factory are top-notch."

At this point, Jiang Meizhuang glanced at Liang Ming with her beautiful eyes and continued:

"Originally, I planned to talk to Wang Ren again after he couldn't sell his canned food and I lowered the price a bit more."

"I didn't expect you, my younger brother, to beat me to it."

Upon hearing Jiang Meizhuang's words, Liang Ming's face showed a look of surprise.

He didn't expect that Jiang Meizhuang would also set her sights on Wang Ren's cannery.

In his past life, all he knew was that after Jiang Meizhuang's Xiangmanlou Restaurant went bankrupt, she turned her life around by opening a cannery.

In retrospect, Jiang Meizhuang's cannery in her previous life was acquired from Wang Ren.

“Sister Meizhuang, it seems we really are on the same wavelength, even wanting to buy the same factory.”

Liang Ming smiled and said to Jiang Meizhuang.

Jiang Meizhuang rolled her eyes at Liang Ming and said, "You rascal, all you do is take advantage of your older sister."

"No, I'm serious," Liang Ming said with a light laugh.

Jiang Meizhuang didn't respond to Liang Ming's words, but instead asked, "Brother Liang Ming, now that you've taken over the cannery, do a good job."

"The demand for canned fruit in Taoyuan City will be huge in the future, and there will be many support policies. As long as you run the cannery well, you can definitely make a lot of money!"

Upon hearing Jiang Meizhuang's words, Liang Ming raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "Sister Meizhuang, why is the city going to support the local fruit industry in the future?"

The reason Liang Ming was willing to spend a lot of money to acquire the cannery was because he knew that not long after Wang Ren transferred the cannery in his previous life, Taoyuan Township began to vigorously develop the fruit economy.

All fruit-related industries have received policy support from the township.

Wang Ren's cannery, thanks to the support policies of the township, produced canned goods that sold very well.

Later, it quickly became the largest private enterprise in the township at that time!

Unfortunately, by then, he was no longer the boss.

Realizing she had let something slip, Jiang Meizhuang looked flustered and stammered:

"Brother Liang Ming, you don't need to ask me where I got this information."

"In short, you can't go wrong by listening to me."

Seeing that Jiang Meizhuang was unwilling to say more, Liang Ming did not ask any further questions.

But at this moment, he also realized that Jiang Meizhuang was not as simple as he had imagined.

This woman's background is definitely extraordinary; she even knows about the city's future development plans.

"Sister Meizhuang, since you also want to acquire Wang Ren's cannery, why don't we go together as partners?"

After thinking for a moment, Liang Ming suddenly spoke to Jiang Meizhuang.

"Cooperation?" Jiang Meizhuang was also taken aback.

“That’s right. Since you have a positive outlook on the canned fruit industry, let’s cooperate and open this cannery together.”

Liang Ming nodded and said, "I'll give you 7% of the shares, and you give me 3%. I'll provide the capital, and you'll provide the connections and sales channels."

Jiang Meizhuang has been running a private restaurant for many years and knows many business owners, which gives her more sales channels.

If we cooperate with Jiang Meizhuang, the cannery's canned fruit will finally have a market.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Meizhuang immediately understood Liang Ming's thoughts and chuckled, "Brother Liang Ming, you've got a really clever plan."

"Sister Meizhuang, if we open a cannery together, you won't lose out, what do you say?"

Liang Ming touched his nose and said.

Jiang Meizhuang thought about it carefully and nodded, "Alright, Brother Liang Ming, since you've asked me to join you, how can I refuse?"

"But I won't let you suffer a loss. How much did you pay to acquire this cannery?"

Liang Ming confessed, "The factory transfer fee was 3 yuan, but I also covered two months' worth of workers' wages for Boss Wang Ren."

"After all the calculations, it will cost more than 30,000 yuan."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Meizhuang's face showed a look of surprise: "More than 30,000 yuan? Brother Liang Ming, you really got a bargain."

"To open a decent cannery these days, you'd need at least 5 yuan to start."

Liang Ming smiled sheepishly, realizing he had indeed gotten a good deal.

Jiang Meizhuang thought for a moment and said, "Brother Liang Ming, how about this, I'll contribute 10,000 yuan and take a 30% stake in the cannery."

"You take the lead in business management, and I'll assist you."

"We'll share resources and work together to get the cannery up and running."
