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

Chapter 171 Counterattack, the Master Who Doesn't Suffer Losses

Hearing Liang Ming's words, Qin Fen nodded.

He also understood the principle of being prepared.

At this moment, Liang Ming suddenly thought of something and said to Qin Fen:

"Director Qin, you said that tomorrow the Second Sports Equipment Factory will publicly compare their fixed-gear bikes with ours in front of the county supply and marketing cooperative..."

"Do you think there will be a lot of people coming to watch?"

Without a second thought, Qin Fen replied, "Of course."

Upon hearing Qin Fen's words, Liang Ming's lips curled into a wicked smile:

"With so many people, it's a natural publicity opportunity. It would be a shame not to make good use of it."

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Qin Fen's face lit up with excitement. He knew that whenever Liang Ming wore that wicked grin, someone was definitely going to suffer.

If the Second Sports Equipment Factory wants to cause them trouble, then the people from the Second Sports Equipment Factory will definitely be the next to suffer.

"Mr. Liang, you mean..."

Qin Fen looked intently at Liang Ming, his eyes filled with anticipation.

He was pleased that he could make those blind leaders of the Second Sports Equipment Factory suffer a setback.

Liang Ming did not answer Qin Fen's question directly, but instead asked:

"Director Qin, do you have blank blueprints and pens?"

Yes, I'll go get it for you!

Qin Fen didn't ask any further questions and nodded.

Soon, he brought over the blueprints and pencils.

After taking the paper and pen, Liang Ming didn't waste any words and started drawing on the table.

Seeing Liang Ming's actions, Qin Fen's face showed a look of excitement.

This wasn't the first time he'd seen such a scene.

This is how Liang Ming designed and improved the fixed-gear bicycle last time.

"Does this mean that Mr. Liang is designing a new bicycle product again?"

Qin Fen thought to himself.

If that's really the case, then Liangji Bicycles' sales will probably rise to another level.

"Director Qin, take a look at this blueprint."

While Qin Fen was pondering, Liang Ming had already finished drawing the blueprints.

"So fast?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Fen's face showed a look of doubt.

A complete bicycle design drawing consists of various parts, and the parameters of each part must be written out.

It's absolutely impossible for Liang Ming to draw a new bicycle product in just over ten minutes.

Thinking of this, Qin Fen couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed:

"It seems that Mr. Liang is not planning to design new bicycle products."

Although somewhat disappointed, Qin Fen still took the blueprints and studied them carefully.

Upon seeing this, he was completely stunned.

The contents of the drawing were very familiar to him.

This is a braking system found on a regular bicycle.

However, it incorporates the features of fixed-gear bicycles from Liangji Bicycle Factory, and the handbrake is not designed on the handlebars, but on the horn.

"Mr. Liang, did you design a braking system for fixed-gear bicycles?"

After reviewing the blueprints, Qin Fen asked Liang Ming a question.

"That's right, what do you think of this design?"

Liang Ming nodded and said.

Upon hearing this, Qin Fen began to ponder.

Older fixed-gear bicycles did not have a traditional handbrake design; their transmission relied entirely on the bearings and gears of the pedals to drive the rear wheel.

To brake, you need to stand up and pedal in the opposite direction.

This design is novel and fashionable, and is very popular among young people.

However, it also has safety hazards. When driving on the road, if a car in front brakes suddenly and you don't have time to brake, you will crash into it and be thrown out of the car.

It's just that there weren't many cars on the road at that time, so no such car accidents had happened yet.

Just because it's not happening now doesn't mean it won't happen in the future.

If any casualties occur, their factory's product reputation will definitely suffer a major setback.

"Boss Liang, you want to install this braking system on your fixed-gear bike and exhibit it at the county supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow."

"Using the high foot traffic from product comparisons to label our factory's products as safe?"

In an instant, Qin Fen understood Liang Ming's intention in designing this braking device and exclaimed in surprise.

"Director Qin, you guessed it so quickly? I was going to keep you in suspense for a bit."

Upon hearing Qin Fen's words, Liang Ming chuckled.

Upon hearing Liang Ming's personal admission, Qin Fen was filled with admiration.

As expected of the boss, upon hearing that the Second Sports Equipment Factory wanted to compete with them in product quality, he not only thought of ways to retaliate.

Furthermore, they considered how to use this opportunity to bring fame and profit to Liangji Bicycle Factory.

They won't even accept such a small loss!

"Boss Liang, you're amazing! If those people at the Second Sports Equipment Factory found out that you used them to promote our new products, they'd be furious!"

Qin Fen grinned mischievously.

"Don't say that. We're just making good use of the platform."

"The other party's desire to compete with our factory on product quality is ultimately aimed at outperforming our products and thus stealing sales from their own products."

"In that case, we should naturally turn the tables on them."

Liang Ming said.

Qin Fen gave Liang Ming a thumbs up, his eyes full of admiration: "Boss Liang, you're awesome!"

With such a wise boss, how could Liangji Bicycle Factory not grow stronger and stronger?

"Director Qin, can this brake system be produced today and installed on fixed-gear bicycles?"

At this moment, Liang Ming also spoke up and asked.

"Small-scale production is no problem."

Qin Fen said.

"Alright, let's design a few sets first, install them on fixed-gear bicycles, and take them to the county supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow."

Liang Mingdao.

Qin Fen nodded in agreement.

After spending some time at Liang's Bicycle Factory, Liang Ming left.

Seeing that it was getting late, Liang Ming went to the privately-run vegetable market in the county town to pick up his aunt, Liang Juan, and take her home.

When he arrived at the privately-run vegetable market and saw Liang Heiya's braised duck shop, he saw a "Closed" sign hanging at the entrance.

Inside the braised duck shop, a man and a woman were cleaning.

The woman was Liang Ming's aunt, Liang Juan.

The man looked to be in his thirties, with a kind and honest appearance. He was tall and thin and was helping Aunt Liang Ming sweep the water off the floor, seemingly unconcerned about getting dirty.

This person should be Liu Guang, a junior staff member of the county's urban construction bureau.

Unexpectedly, this person really did come to the store to help out whenever he had free time, just as my aunt had said.

Although Liang Ming had already investigated Liu Guang and knew that he was a good person, he felt that he still needed to investigate him further to put people at ease.

"aunt!"

Thinking of this, Liang Ming strode into the shop and shouted loudly.

Liang Juan, who was working with Liu Guang to clean up, was startled and became flustered when she heard her nephew's voice.

In particular, Liu Guang was still in the store at that moment.

"Xiao, Xiaoming, what brings you here?"

Liang Juan looked flustered, glanced at Liu Guang furtively, and stammered a question to Liang Ming.

Seeing his aunt's furtive expression, Liang Ming couldn't help but find it amusing.
