The Super Rich: Start from when the family business is about to go bankrupt!

Chapter 103 WPG0102: Someone is jealous: The price has been raised? 554K [First order required]

Faced with Zhu Guanghao's questioning and Sun Kairui's clear and stupid inquiring look, Li Shiyu was a little crazy.

"No, you two bastards really didn't investigate Wu Gengtian and the An family at all?" Li Shiyu was speechless.

Zhu Guanghao answered first, "No, my father only said that they could cooperate with Anjia, and I didn't ask too much."

Sun Kairui seconded, "Me too."

"Okay, okay, okay." Li Shiyu was almost autistic.

"According to our investigation, Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group has been purchasing bitter orange blossom essential oil for research seven years ago, which means that they have been conducting research and development work on the Ningzhi Ruoxue series of products for at least seven years." Li Shiyu said the investigation information.

"In addition, according to the investigation in Tianjing Town, Wugengtian's own medicinal material planting base has been expanding the planting of bitter orange flowers earlier, and has been extracting bitter orange flower essential oil for research." Li Shiyu added.

"In addition, there is another important piece of information, that is, the main researcher and developer of the Ningzhi Ruoxue series of products is An Huchun, the current controller of the Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group. This also cuts off the possibility of acquiring the Ningzhi Ruoxue series of products by poaching." Li Shiyu added.

"In my opinion, the rise of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group is inevitable, so I think so highly of brother Wuyang." Li Shiyu sincerely admired An Wuyang's methods.

That's it!

Zhu Guanghao and Sun Kairui realized it later.

"Brother Shiyu, I have a favor to ask you." Zhu Guanghao changed the subject.

"Stop talking, I don't agree." Li Shiyu refused without hesitation.

"I haven't said anything yet!" Zhu Guanghao complained.

Li Shiyu looked at Zhu Guanghao and said, "We just got a share of the profits from that batch of electronic waste containing gold, so you are not short of money. If you have money, according to your situation, you are not short of anything else, so the only possibility is that you want the Jishi Code."

"." Zhu Guanghao agreed.

"I'm going to take this batch of Jishi Codes back to report. If I get some of them, I can help you then." Li Shiyu explained.

Sun Kairui quickly said, "Me, me, me, brother, dear brother, I want one too!"

"." This time it was Li Shiyu's turn to be speechless.

"I'm leaving first and going home to report." Li Shiyu stood up directly. He was afraid of Zhu Guanghao and Sun Kairui. It seemed that these two people had let go of their face now?
About twenty minutes later, Li Shiyu returned home. As soon as he stepped into the door, he saw his mother.

"Mom, you're not at work?" Li Shiyu was surprised.

Han Yuwei responded calmly, "It's lunch time now. I'll come back to see how things are going over there."

Li Shiyu quickly explained the situation and added, "I am very optimistic about Wu Gengtian and An Wuyang. He is more flexible than his father."

"Take it out!" Han Yuwei said.

Li Shiyu reluctantly took out the brown paper document bag, and then struggled to say, "Mom, can I have a copy too?"

"What are you here for?" Han Yuwei asked back.

"This is a whitening skin care product, something we women use, and you don't have a girlfriend." Han Yuwei added.

"Besides, even if you have a girlfriend, she is a young person, and young people don't need this whitening skin care product." Han Yuwei added.

What else can Li Shiyu do?
"But my brother asked me to leave some for him." Li Shiyu chose to let his brother take the blame.

Han Yuwei directly dialed Li Shiheng's number and turned on the hands-free mode. After waiting for the call to be connected, Han Yuwei spoke first, "Shiheng, Shiyu said that you asked him to help you save some Jishi codes. Is this true?"

"What's the matter?" Li Shiheng asked puzzledly.

"Mom, I'm a little busy here, so I didn't ask my younger brother to help me with anything." Li Shiheng added.

"Okay, I got it." Han Yuwei responded and hung up the phone.

Li Shiyu, who failed in his attempt to trick his brother, is numb!

……

Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group Headquarters.

An Wuyang came to An Huchun's office. An Huchun was still not in the office. An Wuyang sat on An Huchun's office chair and used the landline phone to call An Huchun's mobile phone number.

However, it didn't connect.

An Wuyang didn't call again. As long as An Huchun received the call, it would be fine. An Wuyang guessed that he should be doing research in the R&D center?
Almost half an hour later, An Huchun called back.

"What's the matter?" An Huchun asked.

An Wuyang explained in detail the situation of his meeting with Li Shiyu, and said that the issue of the expansion of the Tianjingyan medicinal material planting base had been resolved.

An Huchun smiled and replied, "Not bad, not bad. Your previous move was a good one. Now the situation has been opened up directly. The future development prospects of our group have been smoothed a lot."

An Wuyang teased, "So you're going to step back?"

"I think it's okay for you to focus on research and leave the group's affairs to me," An Wuyang added.

An Wuyang is the only heir to the Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group. Whether he inherits it earlier or later, it seems like it's both inheritance, right?
An Huchun laughed and scolded, "Get lost, you old man is strong and healthy, it's not time for you to retire yet."

"Oh no! Doesn't that mean I'm still the prince at the age of sixty?" An Wuyang complained.

"Stop talking nonsense, kid." An Huchun reminded.

"I know, I know." An Wuyang responded.

"I have another piece of bad news to tell you. See how you should deal with it," An Huchun added.

"Bad news?" An Wuyang was puzzled.

Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group is currently thriving, so how could there be any bad news?

An Wuyang had just sold 10 sets of the Ningzhi Ruoxue Awakening Essence Repair Cream this morning. The average selling price of each set was about 2400 yuan, which meant that Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group had earned 2.4 million Xia Guoyuan.

In this transaction, the gross profit margin was about 45%, and Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group obtained a gross profit of 1.08 million yuan.

What bad news could possibly stand up to the weight of this good news?

An Huchun explained, "Since our group's Ningzhi Ruoxue series of products are so popular, we and the five major distributors have made huge profits, so the upstream manufacturers are jealous!"

"Is the price of aloe vera gel going to increase again?" An Wuyang complained.

The price of aloe vera gel has increased once before. Is it going to increase again now?

An Huchun responded, "It's not just aloe vera gel that's increasing in price, citrus essential oil is also increasing in price, and the increase is outrageous."

Aloe vera gel is only an auxiliary material for the Gel-Rich series of products, and the core raw material is bitter orange flower essential oil.
To be precise, the core raw material should be the bitter orange flower essential oil produced by the Tianjingyan medicinal material planting base, rather than the bitter orange flower essential oil purchased from outside. But the outside world does not know about this.

The outside world believes that bitter orange blossom essential oil is the core raw material, and the extraction rate of bitter orange blossom essential oil is very low, so the price has skyrocketed!
Given that the outside world is not aware that the core raw materials of the Ningzhi Ruoxue series of products are currently only produced by the Tianjingyan medicinal material planting base, it is not surprising that the upstream supply chain has increased prices around bitter orange blossom essential oil.

"How much has it increased exactly?" An Wuyang asked.

An Huchun responded, "The price of high-quality Grade A aloe vera gel has risen from 10 yuan per 100 grams to 15 yuan per 100 grams, and suppliers are unwilling to sell on a large scale. It is obvious that they are hoarding goods in preparation for further price increases later."

"As for citrus essential oil, the price increase is even more outrageous, soaring to ten times the original price. They are simply crazy about money!" An Huchun complained.

"Is it real bitter orange blossom essential oil, or is it the bitter orange leaf essential oil mixed with bitter orange blossom essential oil?" An Wuyang asked.

"Of course it's the second one." An Huchun responded.

"The bitter orange blossom essential oil sold in the supply chain is the second type by default, and the amount of bitter orange blossom essential oil added will not exceed 5%." An Huchun explained.

After discovering that he had been cheated last time, An Huchun conducted a detailed investigation and finally found that the bitter orange blossom essential oil sold outside was really hard to describe.

Because those things claiming to be "bitter orange blossom essential oil" usually contain no more than 5% of the real bitter orange blossom essential oil, and some even contain only 1%, yet they dare to call themselves bitter orange blossom essential oil.

"The current purchasing price has risen to 100 yuan per gram," An Huchun added.

"Then the cost price of our essence version of repair cream will increase sharply, right?" An Wuyang considered the cost issue first.

"The cost is not that high this year, and we even have some spare inventory in stock," responded An Huchun.

"However, if prices continue to remain high, our cost price will definitely increase next year," An Huchun added.

An Wuyang laughed, "Since we have no demand, how long can the high prices in the market last?"

An Wuyang continued, "Perhaps in the short term, many people in the market will buy bitter orange blossom essential oil at high prices and try to reverse-engineer the Nerolidol series of products, but after no results, the market will return to rationality."

"Dad, let's not buy it for now." An Wuyang added.

An Huchun seconded the proposal, "Yes, that's what I mean. Once you have solved the expansion problem of the Tianjingyan medicinal material planting base, we can directly expand the area of bitter orange blossom planting."

"In addition, I also want to directly acquire other bitter orange blossom planting bases." An Huchun added.

An Wuyang responded, "I'm afraid that at this point in time, the price of the bitter orange blossom planting base is not cheap."

"I suggest that we extract essential oil from bitter orange leaves ourselves," An Wuyang suggested.

"We have been doing this for a long time, but in order to ensure the healthy growth of the bitter orange trees, we only use old leaves," An Huchun replied.

"Okay, I'm just telling you about the price increase of raw materials. It's up to you whether the selling price needs to be adjusted," An Huchun added.

"I'll continue my research. We've recently picked up a past research project. We're trying to restore the skin's firmness so that it can be used with the Ningzhi Ruoxue series of products." An Huchun explained simply.

An Wuyang's mind moved. Does An Huchun have a new research direction?
Can the Happy Life System help?
However, the Happy Life System was motionless, as if it were dead!
Whenever An Wuyang made a wish, the Happy Life System pretended to be dead and did not respond at all.

For example, An Wuyang had been watching live broadcasts and short videos about physics knowledge in the hope of obtaining controlled nuclear fusion technology, but the Happy Life System had been pretending to be dead, and neither allowed An Wuyang to trigger random events, nor random tasks, let alone any fate choices.

All I can say is that the Happy Life System knows how to play dead!
……

It was nearly four o'clock in the afternoon.

An Wuyang received the @ message in the [Running Man Exchange] WeChat group.

'Knight King No. 3: Boss, that stall has a lot of dishes today, do you want to add to the order?'

'Wisp Youth: Add one more sign up!'

'Wind Chaser: Add an order and register to queue up.'

'Free Rider: If there are more requests for additional orders, I will also queue up.'

'An Wuyang: You guys finish today's old orders first, and I'll take care of the subsequent orders according to your queue order.'

"Knight King No. 3: Got it!"

'Wisp Youth: Got it!'

One by one, the errand boys expressed their receipt in the group.

An Wuyang closed the group chat and secretly thought about the meaning of this matter.

Lin Xin had long known that it was him who was helping them behind the scenes, and Xia Yuqing should have had her doubts as well. Once the seeds of doubt were planted, they would be difficult to wither and would only take root and sprout silently.

So in this situation, Lin Xin still prepared more dishes. What does this mean?
Lin Xin knew that Xia Yuqing liked him, and then was testing him?
Such a test
That would be great!
Because An Wuyang had previously triggered a continuous random event, he was required to help Lin Xin's cold dish and braised dish business achieve higher sales and profits.

An Wuyang was originally worried that Lin Xin or Xia Yuqing would become an obstacle, but now it seems that new changes have occurred?

He planned to go and see the situation himself.

An Wuyang first came to the low-temperature storage room of the group headquarters and took out two bottles of essence version of repair cream. He directly put the two bottles of essence version of repair cream into a kraft paper handbag and took the elevator to the underground parking garage.

Less than half an hour later, the tourmaline gray BMW M3 slowly stopped at a roadside parking space near Zhuyuyuan. An Wuyang walked towards Lin Xin's cold and braised food stalls carrying a kraft paper handbag.

When An Wuyang came over, he found that Lin Xin's stall was as deserted as ever.

This is the normal situation!

Although the cold dishes and braised dishes made by Lin Xin are of good quality and taste, they are still too expensive in low-consumption scenarios like Zhuyuyuan, resulting in poor sales.

"Xia classmate." An Wuyang greeted first, "How is business today?"

Xia Yuqing looked at An Wuyang with a slightly complicated look, and she responded negatively, "Not very good."

Sure enough she knew!

From Xia Yuqing's eyes, An Wuyang judged that the other party should know that he was silently supporting them behind the scenes.

"Auntie, how many goods have you prepared today?" An Wuyang asked casually.

Lin Xin answered without hiding anything, "Today's dishes are about three thousand yuan, with fewer vegetarian dishes and more meat dishes."

"Student An, what would you like to eat today? Auntie will treat you." Lin Xin added.

An Wuyang did not refuse. After all, refusing at this time would seem like he was deliberately drawing a line between them.

"Today we're going to get some pig tails. Two pig tails and a pig ear, and make them all into a dry dish, just like the dry dish made with beef yesterday." An Wuyang explained.

Lin Xin asked, "Don't you want braised beef?"
