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

After leaving Xiangmanlou Restaurant, Liang Ming went to the county town department store.

He first bought a pack of Peony cigarettes and two bottles of Moutai liquor, then took a box of canned peaches from his car and went to the office of the director of the county supply and marketing cooperative.

Although it is unknown what connections Jiang Meizhuang used to secure the sales channel from the county's supply and marketing cooperative.

But Liang Ming is here to ask for a favor, so the proper etiquette must be observed.

Boom!Boom!

After tidying his clothes slightly, Liang Ming knocked on the office door.

"Come in!"

Immediately, a steady middle-aged male voice came from the office.

When Liang Ming entered the office, he saw a middle-aged man sitting behind his desk, looking worried.

This person should be Chen Jiu, the director of the Taoyuan County Supply and Marketing Cooperative!

"Who are you?" Chen Jiu looked up at Liang Ming, and asked in confusion after confirming that she did not recognize him.

"Director Chen, hello. My name is Liang Ming, and I am the factory manager of Liangji Canned Food Factory in Taoyuan Township!"

With a polite smile on his face, Liang Ming introduced himself:

"It was Mr. Jiang, the owner of Xiangmanlou Restaurant, who introduced me here."

As he spoke, he placed the two bottles of Moutai liquor and a pack of Peony cigarettes on the coffee table in the office.

"So you were introduced by Boss Jiang. I know you!"

"I heard that your factory's canned peaches are very popular with merchants from the north; a whole case was bought up in one go!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu's face showed a look of sudden realization.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the coffee table and saw the Moutai liquor and Peony cigarettes; a slight smile appeared on his lips.

This young man is quite polite.

What aged wine likes best is dealing with polite businessmen, because they are easy to communicate with and understand each other immediately.

"Thanks to the county government, if it weren't for the higher-ups creating a good business environment for us businessmen!"

“No northern merchants will come to our Taoyuan County to do business, and my canned fruit won’t be sold in the north.”

Liang Ming chuckled.

Praising your superiors is never wrong, no matter the time.

Sure enough, Chen Jiu nodded and smiled upon hearing this, saying, "That's right, it's all thanks to the good business environment created by the county."

The more he looked at the young man, the more he admired him.

This kid is not only polite, but also has a very high level of moral awareness.

At this point, Chen Jiu continued to say to Liang Ming:

"Mr. Liang, it's truly remarkable that you have this awareness!"

"I've heard about your situation from Boss Jiang. The fruit preserves from the cannery have won the approval of northern merchants, so the taste must be excellent."

"How many cans of food can your cannery produce each day?"

Upon hearing Chen Jiu's words, Liang Ming's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Director Chen, our Liangji Canned Food Factory can produce 3000 cases of canned fruit every day!"

"The wholesale price is 90 cents per piece, and the suggested retail price is 1.5 yuan per piece."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu nodded and said, "This price is reasonable."

"So, starting tomorrow, our county supply and marketing cooperative needs 2500 cases of canned fruit every day. Can you meet this demand?"

As a county-level supply and marketing cooperative, with more than a dozen grassroots supply and marketing cooperatives under it, selling 2500 cases of canned fruit is not a problem at all.

"2500 cans of fruit every day? Director Chen, you, I..."

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming, even though he was a soul who had been reborn, couldn't help but feel excited.

At a wholesale price of 9 cents per piece, this is a huge order worth 2250 yuan per day!

That's a huge deal worth nearly 7 yuan in just one month!

Over the course of a year, that amounted to nearly 80 in sales.

If this business continues, it won't be a problem for Liang Ming to become a millionaire within a year or two.

The millionaires of the 80s were incredibly wealthy!

"What? So happy you can't speak?"

Seeing Liang Ming's somewhat unsteady expression, Chen Jiu did not underestimate him, but instead smiled and said.

The reason he was willing to cooperate with Liang Ming was not only because Liang Ming was polite and capable.

Also, Liang Ming was introduced by Boss Jiang.

Outsiders may not know the details of Boss Jiang's background, but he knows a thing or two. The person in Building 2 of Taoyuan City is also surnamed Jiang!

This young man has won Boss Jiang's favor; he's destined for greatness.

It's never a bad thing to be on good terms with him beforehand.

"Director Chen, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely seize it and never let you down."

Liang Ming quickly suppressed his excitement and said seriously.

"The government is now encouraging the development of a market economy. You young people are bold and daring, and you have a bright future."

Chen Jiu smiled and said to Liang Ming:

"Maybe one day, I'll quit my job and start my own business, and I'll need your help, little brother."

Seeing Chen Jiu take the initiative to address him as a brother, Liang Ming was somewhat flattered and quickly said:

"Brother Chenjiu, we hit it off immediately!"

"If you ever really go into business one day, and there's anything you need from your younger brother, just let me know!"

"My brother would go through fire and water without hesitation."

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Chen Jiu's face showed satisfaction.

Although he was doing a good job as the director of the county supply and marketing cooperative, it was impossible for him to go into business.

But Liang Ming's attitude still made him feel comfortable.

The two quickly signed a contract for the supply of canned fruit.

“Brother Chen Jiu, starting tomorrow, our Liangji Canned Food Factory will deliver 2500 cases of lychee cans to the county supply and marketing cooperative every day.”

Before leaving, Liang Ming said to Chen Jiu.

Chen Jiu nodded in agreement.

The news that the He County Supply and Marketing Cooperative had signed a canned food supply contract reached Liangji Canned Food Factory in Taoyuan Township.

The entire cannery was filled with excitement and uproar.

"What? Our cannery is going to supply canned fruit to the county supply and marketing cooperative?"

"With this order contract from the county supply and marketing cooperative, are we still worried about not being able to promote the Liangji Canned Food Factory's brand?"

"I woke up to find that our cannery worker jobs have become guaranteed?"

The cannery workers who heard the news were all incredibly excited.

In those days, the units that could cooperate with supply and marketing cooperatives were basically state-owned enterprises.

Even Wang Ren and Wang Mei were somewhat taken aback when they heard the news.

"Boss Liang is truly resourceful; he even managed to secure a cooperation agreement with the county supply and marketing cooperative," Wang Ren exclaimed.

"Cousin, our boss Liang is truly an amazing person!"

"After taking over your factory, they cleared out all the canned goods that were piling up in the warehouse in less than a week."

"Now it has provided the cannery with a stable sales channel."

"Comparing yourself to others is truly infuriating."

Wang Mei smiled and teased Wang Ren.

Hearing his cousin's words, Wang Ren gave an awkward smile, but still stubbornly replied, "So what if I can't be a boss?"

"Didn't I just find a good boss for the cannery?"

"I may not be a marshal in a cannery, but I'm certainly capable of being a general!"

Hearing her cousin's words, Wang Mei covered her mouth and chuckled.

After this incident, the two siblings have made up their minds to continue working with Liang Ming.

Working for a boss like that, even just a sip of soup would be enough to make them burst.

Liang Ming had no idea that because of the sales channels he had brought to the supply and marketing cooperative, Wang Ren and his sister were so devoted to following him.

After leaving the county supply and marketing cooperative, he went to Xiangmanlou Restaurant.
