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

Chapter 212 Buying Transport Vehicles for the Factory

Wang Ren and Wang Mei naturally had no objection to this.

After all, they hold shares, which means their income can increase significantly.

No one will complain about having a low income.

"Boss Liang, you're so brilliant!" Wang Mei spoke first, addressing Liang Ming:

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, there won't be any problems with Liang's Canned Food Factory's accounts."

Wang Ren, who was standing to the side, chimed in, "That's right. With Liangji Canned Food Factory in my hands, I'll definitely manage it very well, and there won't be any problems."

Seeing how motivated the two men were after receiving their shares, Liang Ming smiled.

What he wanted was the spirit and attitude of the factory's top management.

After finalizing the agreement, the three of them drafted a contract and signed their names.

The moment they received the contract, both Wang Ren and Wang Mei wore excited smiles.

Needless to say, Wang Mei was originally a working-class person, but now she has suddenly become a minor shareholder in a cannery. It's impossible for her not to be excited.

Wang Ren's mood was quite different.

This cannery used to belong to him, but he couldn't manage it well.

Now that it has been handed over to Liang Ming, it is thriving. It is impossible for him not to be envious.

Now, Liang Ming has given him a few percent of the shares. Although it's not much, when you really calculate it, the dividends from these few percent of shares are more than the profit dividends he used to receive when he was his own boss.

Therefore, he likes this state the most.

The risks have been shared, and the dividends are no less than before.

"Boss Liang, there's something else I forgot to tell you. The state-run restaurant wants to increase its order for canned fruit."

"We've already set up a sales point at their doorstep, but I don't know if we should increase their order volume?"

At this moment, Wang Ren remembered something and said it to Liang Ming.

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming understood Wang Ren's meaning.

There is now a fruit canning point at the entrance of the county's state-run restaurant.

Moreover, the sales volume of this fruit canned goods sales point is not low, with five or six hundred cans sold every day.

The fact that the county's state-run restaurants are now demanding increased orders indicates that their customers are still buying a significant amount of canned fruit.

At this point, a problem arises.

If Liangji Canned Food Factory imposes order restrictions on state-run restaurants in the county, then diners in the restaurants will definitely only be able to buy canned goods from the fruit and canned food sales point at the entrance.

The sales revenue of those outlets will naturally increase.

Because of the different wholesale costs, supplying goods to county-run restaurants is definitely not as profitable as supplying goods directly to one's own sales outlets.

“If we want to make a profit, we naturally can’t increase the supply to the county-run restaurants!” Liang Ming thought for a moment and then said.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ren immediately said, "Boss Liang, shall I talk to the county state-run restaurant and tell them not to increase the supply?"

Liang Ming shook his head, then changed the subject, saying, "No, we will meet the supply needs of the county's state-run restaurants."

"Our factory is an open business, and we can't just focus on profits; we also have to consider human relationships."

"A factory without human touch will not last long."

“When our cannery was just starting out, the county state-run restaurant gave us a lot of support.”

"Now that our cannery is doing well, we can't do the kind of thing that's done our bidding and then discarded."

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Wang Ren nodded and said:

"Boss Liang, I understand what you mean. I'll do it right away."

After saying that, Wang Ren turned around and went to contact the people at the county state-run restaurant.

Soon, a truckload of canned fruit was transported from Liangji Cannery to the county's state-run restaurant.

The tractor was responsible for hauling the goods, with a trailer pulling behind it.

Upon seeing the tractor in the factory, Liang Ming raised an eyebrow, turned to look at Wang Mei, and said:

"Wang, the finance manager, what are our factory's main means of transportation?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Mei truthfully replied, "Our factory's main means of transportation is six pedal tricycles. These tricycles are mainly responsible for some sales points in the vicinity."

"If it's a more distant place, we'll use the factory's only diesel tricycle for transportation."

“For large sales outlets like county-run restaurants and county supply and marketing cooperatives, we would use tractors for transportation.”

"Although tractor transportation is a bit slow, it is stable and less prone to damage during transportation."

At the end, Wang Mei gave a sheepish smile.

Liang Ming knew that Wang Mei was just saying that to be polite.

If you're looking for a reliable and fast transportation option, diesel tricycles are the way to go.

However, a diesel tricycle costs several thousand yuan.

Even though Liangji Canned Food Factory is doing well now, it's not an easy thing to acquire several diesel tricycles all at once.

Moreover, they wouldn't dare make such a decision without Liang Ming's approval.

"Relying on only one diesel tricycle and one tractor to transport canned fruit is too slow."

Liang Ming thought for a moment and then spoke;

"Our factory still needs to purchase a few more diesel tricycles."

"Only in this way can the transportation speed be increased."

"Only when transportation services are improved and customers are satisfied can we get more orders."

When Liang Ming brought up the idea of ​​increasing the number of diesel tricycles, Wang Mei's eyes lit up.

The delivery drivers have complained to her more than once that transporting canned fruit by tricycle is too tiring.

"Mr. Liang, shall I contact the agricultural machinery market?"

How many agricultural tricycles do we need to buy in total?

What is your price budget?

Hearing Wang Mei's words, Liang Ming thought for a moment and said:

"We need at least three agricultural tricycles to increase transportation speed. As for the budget..."

Finally, Liang Ming said directly, "Forget it, leave the matter of buying agricultural tricycles to me."

This wasn't his first time buying a farm tricycle; he had experience with it.

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Wang Mei nodded in agreement.

After spending some more time at Liang's Canned Food Factory, Liang Ming and his sister Liang Jing left the factory.

"Big brother, where are we going now?"

After leaving the factory, Liang Jing asked Liang Ming.

“Let’s go to the agricultural machinery market!” Liang Ming said.

After the two got into the diesel tricycle, Liang Ming took his sister to the agricultural machinery market.

It was already noon.

However, the agricultural machinery market was still packed with people.

Many farmers were haggling with shop owners in the market.

This agricultural machinery market offers a variety of agricultural machines, including tractors, weeders, iron tools for turning over soil, and repair parts for agricultural machinery.

When Liang Ming and Liang Jing arrived at the site where the farm tricycles were being sold, they saw many villagers who had already made a little money, circling around the farm tricycles.

In those days, many ordinary people with a little money liked to buy agricultural tricycles.

Because this vehicle can carry cargo and has a small canopy to protect against wind and rain, it is the perfect vehicle for driving on urban and rural roads.

"Boss, do you have a favorite tricycle brand?"

The owner of the tricycle shop noticed Liang Ming driving in and immediately came over, smiling as he asked.
