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

Chapter 389 WPG0388: There are delicious foods in Suzhou? The price difference between domestic and foreign markets is quite large!

It’s the fifth day of National Day, close to noon.

The Gulfstream G650ER private business jet landed at Wuxi Airport. Qin Sheng had already prepared a business car for An Wuyang's reception.

On the way to Gusu, everyone discussed what to eat for lunch.

Xia Yuqing asked curiously, "Brother Wuyang, is there any outrageous landmark delicacy like Yuhang vinegar fish in Gusu?"

When they were traveling in Yuhang before, they tasted the famous Yuhang vinegar fish.

Then he ate without saying a word!

Yuhang vinegar fish, right?

A landmark delicacy of the capital city’s Douzhi-level quality!

Facing Xia Yuqing's question, An Wuyang couldn't help but smile. He responded, "Don't worry. Gusu is known as a food desert. There aren't any weird landmark foods."

Suzhou’s geographical label is quite novel. First, there was no airport, and then it was called a food desert.

"Food desert?" Xia Yuqing was puzzled. "Doesn't Gusu have its own representative food?"

An Wuyang thought about it, but really couldn't think of any delicious food in Gusu.

So, An Wuyang looked at the local snake Wen Xin and said, "Gusu people, can you tell me what delicacies you have in Gusu?"

Faced with the sudden roll call, Wen Xin fell silent.

She thought about it for a while, and finally responded, "Does plain noodles count?"

"How about pan-fried buns?" Wen Xin added.

Faced with Wen Xin's words, the other four were silent, especially An Wuyang and Xia Yuqing, who were both from Shengqing.

"I remember that we in Gusu still have a representative food!" Wen Xin suddenly said with confidence.

"Our Gusu meat-filled dumplings!" Wen Xin said confidently.

"."

The other four were silent again.

Even though they were from Shengqing, a country with a high tolerance for food, An Wuyang and Xia Yuqing still felt that Gusu cuisine was a little too outrageous.

Lu Manman asked, "You people in Gusu like sweet food. Are your meat dumplings sweet or salty?"

"Of course it's salty!" Wen Xin responded.

That's not bad!
If the rice dumplings are filled with meat and are sweet, are you sure it is not some kind of dark cuisine?

"There is also squirrel mandarin fish!" Wen Xin thought of another famous Suzhou dish.

But squirrel mandarin fish
This dish is actually no different in essence from Yuhang Vinegar Fish. If it is not handled properly, it will have the smell of fish and ketchup.

That's right!

Ketchup flavor!

This is because quite a few restaurants that cook squirrel mandarin fish prefer to use commercial ketchup directly, thus avoiding the troublesome cooking steps.

However, if tomato sauce is used to cook squirrel mandarin fish, it means that the standard of this restaurant is relatively average, and it also means that the fishy smell is unlikely to be removed.

Therefore, An Wuyang has no comment on the squirrel mandarin fish.

However, with the mentality of being here since they were already there, everyone, led by Wen Xin, a local, went to a so-called local restaurant to taste local specialties.

As for the final result?
Of course, I kept silent just like I did in Yuhang.

As Suzhou's cuisine tends to be sweet, Xia Yuqing ate two crab roe pan-fried buns and stopped eating.

It's almost the same if he's safe and sound.

Lu Manman and Zong Chunyan did eat a few more bites, but it was still quite limited.

Among them, the squirrel mandarin fish that Wenxin highly recommended was a complete disappointment, because this so-called "local restaurant" used tomato sauce to cook the squirrel mandarin fish.

Towards the end of lunch, Xia Yuqing leaned close to An Wuyang's ear and whispered, "Let's buy some seafood in the afternoon, and then have a seafood barbecue on the boat in the evening."

"Okay." An Wuyang held Xia Yuqing's small hand with his right hand and responded affirmatively.

However, the purchase of seafood does not need to be handled by An Wuyang, and can be directly handed over to the ship's chef here.

The cook on the Azimut 80FLY belonging to Qin Sheng was also a middle-aged woman. An Wuyang sent a message in the group and gave the corresponding instructions.

In the afternoon, An Wuyang took Xia Yuqing to see the classical gardens of the Humble Administrator's Garden, listened to the prayer bells of the Hanshan Temple, and took a City Walk in Gusu, which gave Xia Yuqing a preliminary impression of this ancient city.

Wen Xin is a native of Suzhou. She has no interest in City Walk in Suzhou, but she acted as a tour guide.

It's almost dinner time.

Wen Xin volunteered to recommend, "Let's go to another restaurant tonight. It's a time-honored restaurant in Suzhou."

Xia Yuqing was the first to refuse, "We have already tasted Gusu cuisine at noon, and we plan to go back to the boat to have a seafood barbecue in the evening."

Zong Chunyan immediately seconded the suggestion, "I think seafood barbecue tastes better!"

Lu Manman also followed suit, "Vote for seafood barbecue."

As for An Wuyang, he had already shown his support for Xia Yuqing without saying a word.

Wen Xin sighed and muttered, "In fact, we still have delicious food in Gusu!"

However, no one responded.

After all, Gusu was voted as a food desert by many netizens, and the value of this title is quite high.

Night falls.

Taihu Lake, near Sanshan Island Scenic Area.

The Azimut 80FLY yacht is anchored and a seafood barbecue is being prepared on the flybridge.

Xia Yuqing and An Wuyang were looking at the lights of thousands of homes in the Xishan Scenic Area. Wen Xin was answering a call from her family. She was going to go home and stay overnight and come back tomorrow morning.

After all, Wen Xin’s home is in Gusu, so you can’t just pass by her home without going in, right?

In fact, the real situation was that her warm-hearted mother asked her to stay at home for one night.

"Are we returning tomorrow?" Xia Yuqing asked An Wuyang.

An Wuyang answered affirmatively, "Well, according to the original plan, we went downstream from the Wusong River to the Gusu River, and then returned to the pier on the Bund."

If the Azimut 80FLY were to sail at full speed, it would only take two or three hours to reach the destination.

But they were not in a hurry, but planned to enjoy the scenery along the river.

"If nothing unexpected happens, we will arrive in Shanghai on the seventh day of the National Day," An Wuyang added.

Xia Yuqing said in a relieved tone, "It's finally almost over!"

"Hmm?" An Wuyang was puzzled. "Don't you think it's fun?"

"It's fun, but in just five days, my weight increased by two kilograms." Xia Yuqing said distressedly.

Lu Manman immediately responded, "I also gained three pounds!"

This little deer seemed to have suffered too much in the past, so when she went out to travel this time, she couldn't help eating more when faced with various high-quality ingredients and exquisite cooking. As a result, she gained one pound more than Xia Yuqing.

Zong Chunyan sighed, "I've also gained more than two kilograms."

Wen Xin hummed in response, "Everyone has gained weight, but it doesn't matter. We will go to the Blue Center to work out when we get back. We will lose weight in a week at most."

At this point, Wen Xin added, "When we go to the Blue Center to exercise, we can not only lose weight, but also make money!"

An Wuyang smiled but said nothing.

They can indeed make money by going to the Blue Fitness Center, but will An Wuyang lose money?
I can only say that this is a win-win situation!

Of course, there is no win-win situation in the financial system, but unfortunately the losers are not here.

Wen Xin continued, "Mr. An, we originally planned to cover some of the expenses for this trip, but your trip is too high-end and we simply can't afford it."

"How about you deduct some of our wages at the Blue Center?" Wen Xin brought up the topic of money openly.

That's how clever she is!
Bring some things to light by bringing sensitive issues to the fore.

An Wuyang waved his hand and responded, "Not really."

"Even if Qingqing and I are the only ones traveling together, the fuel costs for the yacht will not be less, and other expenses will not be less either. The three of you are like accessories, so you basically don't have to spend any money." An Wuyang teased.

Wen Xin immediately responded, "Then I want to be the pendant on Mr. An's thigh. Please take me flying!"

An Wuyang teased, "Then where do you want to fly to?"

Wen Xin answered without thinking, "I want to fly to the sky!"

"Wow!" An Wuyang joked, "Do you want to go to heaven and become a fairy?"

Warmly admit, "If I could be a fairy, of course I would be a fairy!"

Amidst the warmth and peace of mind, everyone was laughing and joking while eating the seafood barbecue.

It was almost eight o'clock in the evening.

Qin Sheng sent a message to An Wuyang.

'Qin Sheng: Damn it, Mr. An, take a look at the official website of Hermès, isn't this too cruel?'

'An Wuyang: Then let me take a look first.'

An Wuyang did not log in to Hermès' official website, but directly checked it in the WeChat mini program.

The homepage of Hermès' mini program has already released advertisements for tripod-shaped copper lanterns and bitter orange scented candles, and the prices have also been released.

The price of the tripod-shaped copper lantern is 66666 yuan, and it is also marked that the overseas selling price is 16666 US dollars.

Referring to the current exchange rate of 1 US dollar equals 6.86 Xia Guoyuan, the overseas selling price is converted to more than 11 Xia Guoyuan, almost twice the price.

A little cruel!

An Wuyang looked at the detailed introduction of the tripod-shaped bronze lantern.

Hermès strictly abided by the agreement and clearly introduced the origin and allusion of the tripod-shaped bronze lantern, explicitly stating that it was a cultural relic from the Warring States Period of the Xia Kingdom more than 2,000 years ago.

However, Hermès has modernized the tripod-shaped bronze lantern.

For example, a temperature detector is installed on the lamp cover to detect whether the bitter orange scented candle is burning.

There is also an angular velocity sensor on the lamp cover, which is designed to work with the temperature detector.

When the temperature detector determines that the tripod-shaped copper lantern is in working condition and the bitter orange scented candle has been lit, it will communicate with the angular velocity sensor to work together.

When the angular velocity sensor detects some abnormal displacement of the lamp cover, such as the lamp cover falling off due to abnormal circumstances, or the entire tripod-shaped copper lantern falling over, the next operation will be activated.

The next operation is to activate the compressed CO2 pellet, thereby ensuring that the CO2 gas directly extinguishes the bitter orange scented candle.

According to the information displayed on the Hermès mini program, Hermès conducted 20 tests, and the final result was that 100% of the burning bitter orange scented candles were extinguished.

An Wuyang was looking at this information, and he suddenly felt that the price of 66666 Xia Guoyuan didn’t seem too expensive, right?

Safe and sound, I checked out the introduction of Hermès' bitter orange scented candle.

Each of the bitter orange scented candles produced by Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group has a burning time of approximately 12 to 12.5 hours.

But Hermès's deep customization is to divide a whole bitter orange scented candle into six parts to make a set.

It includes two of each 1-hour version, 2-hour version, and 3-hour version, and the combined burning time is also about twelve hours.

The price of the bitter orange scented candle is also announced in Hermès’ mini program.

The price of a set of six bitter orange scented candles with different burning times in Xiaguo is 16 Xiaguo yuan.

This price.
Is it too expensive?

Because the buyout price of Hermès from Wugengtian is US$9999 per whole bottle, based on the exchange rate of 6.86, it is 68593.14 Xia Guoyuan.

Is Hermès trying to make a gross profit of 100,000 yuan?
I have to say, Hermès is pretty ruthless!

An Wuyang also checked the overseas price of the bitter orange scented candle set announced by Hermès, and it was as high as US$38888.

If this price is converted into Xia Guoyuan, it would be more than 26 Xia Guoyuan, which is almost 6771 yuan more expensive than the domestic selling price.

An Wuyang raised his eyebrows secretly. Isn’t this overseas price too high?
Hermès is not a company in Xia country. How could it set the price in Xia country lower than the overseas price?

However, An Wuyang soon found out the reason.

Because Hermès also explains the prices in the mini program.

The reason why overseas prices are far higher than those in Xia Country is simple, because the supplier of bitter orange scented candles is Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group, and there are no import tariffs when they are sold within Xia Country.

But if Hermès brings the corresponding products to Bald Eagle, Europa, or other countries, it will need to pay the corresponding customs duties, consumption taxes and other taxes.

So the price naturally increased a lot.

An Wuyang looked at the introduction of the Hermès WeChat applet and thought that Hermès was going to comply with laws and regulations and pay taxes honestly.
But the five major distributors of Wugengtian don’t seem to be prepared to do so?

In addition, An Wuyang had previously promised to distribute 500 bitter orange scented candles to Nova Pharmaceuticals. Will Nova Pharmaceuticals choose formal channels or special channels to get Europa back?

The overseas sales situation of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group’s products is rather confusing!

This is because Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group deliberately indulged itself.

Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group has not established a clear overseas sales mechanism, and Wugengtian's delivery mechanism has also chosen the "factory-release" solution.

This means that Wu Gengtian had already shirked the responsibility!
After all, Wugengtian’s products are taken away by distributors as soon as they leave Wugengtian’s factory. Who knows where these distributors take the products?
Take Shuxin Pills as an example, and then take Gran Pharmaceuticals in Europe as an example.

Newman Miller, the Xia country representative of Gran Pharmaceuticals, is a typical Xia country expert. When the second batch of Shuxin Pills were distributed at five o'clock in the morning, Gran Pharmaceuticals obtained a quota of 250,000 bottles.

After getting the quota, Newman Miller personally drove the goods to the secondary packaging factory for transformation.

Whether it is the outer packaging or the original medicine bottle, etc., all have been replaced with versions specifically designed for Gran Pharmaceuticals, and even the name of Shuxin Pills has been changed.

Then the 'new products' are brought back to Europe for sale.

In this way, expensive tariffs and other tax issues can be circumvented without anyone noticing.

As for the risks?

This question is so funny!
Since you have chosen the option of smuggling into the country, do you think there is no risk?
