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

Upon seeing that Jiang Meizhuang wanted to invest 1 yuan, Liang Ming was also taken aback and quickly said, "Sister Meizhuang, this money is not necessary..."

He originally thought that, with Jiang Meizhuang's connections and resources, he would give her 30% of the shares and bring her on board, even if she didn't contribute a single penny.

Before Liang Ming could finish speaking, Jiang Meizhuang waved her hand to interrupt him: "This matter is decided. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease taking these 30% of the shares."

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

At that moment, he suddenly thought of something and joked, "Sister Meizhuang, wouldn't you say this cannery is a new life we've nurtured together?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Meizhuang's face flushed red, and she glared at him: "Brother Liang Ming, you're getting naughtier and naughtier..."

Seeing that Jiang Meizhuang wasn't angry, Liang Ming smiled and didn't dwell on the topic for long.

The two signed a share transfer agreement at the Xiangmanlou Restaurant.

"Sister Meizhuang, now that you're a shareholder of Liangji Canned Food Factory, the factory has a problem that we need your help with..."

After signing the agreement, Liang Ming looked at Jiang Meizhuang and said.

He immediately explained the situation of the unsold canned peaches in the factory to Jiang Meizhuang in detail.

"Are the canned peaches in the factory not selling well? That's to be expected."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Meizhuang smiled and said.

"After all, there is fruit everywhere here, so canned fruit is not easy to sell."

At this point, Jiang Meizhuang looked at Liang Ming and asked another question:

"Brother Liang Ming, with your intelligence, you should be able to think of a way to sell these canned peaches, right?"

"I have indeed thought of a solution, but I just wanted to ask you, Sister Meizhuang, if you have any other ideas."

Liang Ming touched his nose and chuckled awkwardly.

"Brother Liang Ming, how about this: we write down the ideas we've come up with on slips of paper, then open them together and see whose idea is better?"

Jiang Meizhuang suddenly had an interesting idea and said it to Liang Ming.

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming also found the idea amusing and nodded, saying, "Okay, it's settled then."

After saying that, Jiang Meizhuang asked someone to bring her paper and pen.

The two sat down at the dining table, picked up their pens, and each began writing down their own solutions.

"Brother Liang Ming, I've finished writing. What about you?"

After putting down her pen, Jiang Meizhuang asked Liang Ming.

“I’ve finished writing it too,” Liang Ming said.

"Shall we open it together?"

"it is good!"

After saying that, the two of them simultaneously picked up their slips of paper, on which was written the same sentence:

"County guesthouse, merchants from the north!"

Upon seeing the words on the other person's note, Liang Ming and Jiang Meizhuang were both taken aback, and then burst into laughter.

“Brother Liang Ming, we’re on the same page again,” Jiang Meizhuang said with a smile.

"Doesn't this just prove that we're kindred spirits and a match made in heaven?"

Liang Ming looked directly at Jiang Meizhuang, his voice full of magnetism.

Jiang Meizhuang rolled her eyes at him and smiled charmingly, "Brother Liang Ming, once you turn the cannery into the number one enterprise in Taoyuan Township, I can agree to date you."

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming's breathing became rapid, and he retorted:

"Sister Meizhuang, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course!"

……

When Liang Ming left Xiangmanlou Restaurant, he was excited. Jiang Meizhuang's promise gave him the motivation to strive.

He drove and soon arrived at the county's guesthouse.

After entering the guesthouse, Liang Ming went to the front desk, took out a pack of Bai Tou Li Qun cigarettes, offered one to the staff member, and asked:

"Comrade, do you entertain all the merchants from the north?"

The guesthouse staff normally refuse to disclose information about guests.

But upon hearing Liang Ming's local accent, the guesthouse staff reached out and took the cigarette, saying:

"Yes, of course there is, but why are you asking?"

"To be honest, I am the owner of Liangji Canned Food Factory in Taoyuan Township. Recently, our canned fruit has not been selling well. Locals don't like to eat it."

After Liang Ming introduced himself, the staff member nodded and said:

“Indeed, our Taoyuan City is full of orchards and fresh fruit. Who would buy your canned fruit?”

"You're right. I heard there's a fruit shortage in the north, and northerners like to eat canned fruit, so I came to the guesthouse to try my luck..."

Liang Ming gave an awkward smile and explained.

As he spoke, he took a can of peach preserves, handed it to the staff member, and said:

"Comrade, it's fate that we met. Here, take this canned peaches and have a taste."

Upon hearing this, the staff at the guesthouse understood Liang Ming's purpose in coming.

Upon seeing the canned peaches Liang Ming handed him, the corners of his mouth immediately turned up in a smile.

"How could I possibly accept this..."

Although locals don't really like canned fruit, it's expensive!

As they were talking, the staff member took the canned peaches and whispered something:

"Turn left on the second floor. The guest in the second room is from Qin. I heard he's in the business of reselling black and white televisions, radios, and other similar items."

"As for whether he wants your canned fruit, that's hard to say."

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming nodded and said, "Comrade, thank you."

……

Just then, the merchant from Qin returned from outside the guesthouse, and the staff quickly gave him a wink.

"Mr. Zhao, I've heard so much about you. I'd like to discuss a sale of canned fruit with you. Would you be interested?"

Liang Ming understood, and quickly picked up the other cans of peaches, went to greet them, and smiled politely.

He had already learned from the receptionist that the other person's name was Zhao Pan.

"you are?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Pan raised an eyebrow and asked in return.

"My name is Liang Ming, and I'm the owner of Liang's Canned Food Factory in Taoyuan Township," Liang Ming introduced himself.

After learning the other party's identity, Zhao Pan's expression softened somewhat. He pointed to the sofa in the guesthouse next to him and said, "Let's sit down and talk."

After the two sat down, Zhao Panxuan immediately asked, "Boss Liang Ming, I don't know about the canned fruit business you mentioned..."

Liang Ming smiled, not getting straight to the point. Instead, he placed the canned peaches on the coffee table, opened the lid, and handed the other person a bamboo skewer, saying:

"Zhao Pan, why don't you try our factory's canned peaches first? Then we can talk about the rest."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Pan took the bamboo skewer and ate a piece of peach flesh.

"Hmm? This peach is very crisp, sweet, and juicy. It's of very good quality."

After taking a sip, Zhao Pan immediately clapped his hands and cheered.

"Mr. Zhao, do you think our Liangji Canned Food Factory's canned peaches can sell well in the north?"

Upon seeing Zhao Pan praising the taste of the canned peaches, Liang Ming asked with a smile.

“If it can be transported to the north, it can indeed sell quite well,” Zhao Pan nodded and said.

Upon hearing this, his own eyes lit up.

He made a considerable profit by reselling televisions, radios, and other similar items back in the north.

But because this thing is a luxury item and easily attracts covetous eyes, he never dares to bring too much with him.

However, if you buy a large quantity of canned fruit and then hire a truck to transport it back to the north, the transportation risk is lower than that of electrical appliances.

"Boss Liang Ming, what wholesale price can you give me if I buy a large quantity of your factory's canned fruit?"

Thinking of this, Zhao Pan looked at Liang Ming and asked directly.
