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

Chapter 571 WPG Special Event: Modifying the Research Direction of the Trauma Scar Repair Team? Transaction Completed!
That evening, An Wuyang naturally hosted a banquet for Ren Tianxiang, but instead of offering him Shengqing's signature hot pot, he chose relatively mild dishes from Shengqing cuisine.

For example, the famous steamed pork with preserved mustard greens, as well as cured pork belly, cured pork ribs, cured pig's trotters, and so on.

It was a little after nine o'clock at night.

An Wuyang took Ren Tianxiang to the presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel near the headquarters of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group before returning home.

This time, An Huchun and Li Wenya were finally at home, and they were discussing the [Trauma Scar Repair Research and Development Group].

When An Wuyang returned, An Huchun immediately called out, "Son, come here quickly."

An Wuyang knew immediately that An Huchun was looking for reinforcements!

An Wuyang walked over and sat down next to An Huchun. He noticed that both An Huchun and Li Wenya were in very good spirits, and Li Wenya's skin was also in great condition.

After all, Li Wenya was both drinking Liang Huanxi and using the premium version of the Snow White Essence Cream.

Li Wenya looked at An Wuyang and took the initiative to speak, "Do you know anything about the [Trauma Scar Repair Research Team]?"

An Wuyang answered affirmatively, "I know, what happened to them?"

"Then you should also know that this team has been researching the trauma scar repair project for ten years, but there has been no progress, right?" Li Wenya asked again.

Anhuchun explained from the side, "It's not that there's no progress, it's just that there are no results."

“Old Zheng and Old Cheng are also doing their research with all their might, and they have also been involved in the research and development of other products before,” An Huchun added.

Li Wenya ignored An Huchun.

"What does Mom mean?" An Wuyang asked.

Li Wenya pointed to the corner of her eye, "Look!"

An Wuyang looked over and asked, "What are you looking at?"

There doesn't seem to be any eye discharge, right?

Of course, An Wuyang wouldn't say such a joke directly, after all, being a Tyrannosaurus Rex gene carrier is no laughing matter.

"Can't you see the wrinkles?" Li Wenya asked.

An Wuyang repeatedly denied it, "How could there be wrinkles!"

Anko Haru agreed, "Indeed, there are no wrinkles!"

Li Wenya looked at the father and son speechlessly. Didn't she know whether he had wrinkles or not?

Li Wenya has never had any cosmetic procedures. She is about to turn forty, so the crow's feet around her eyes can't be hidden no matter what.

In addition, nasolabial folds and neck wrinkles also exist.

Although the premium version of the Snow White Essence Cream improved skin texture and condition, it could not replenish collagen or change the problem of skin sagging.

Li Wenya sighed and said, "What I mean is, since the scar repair research team can't make a breakthrough in scar repair, why not try a different direction!"

"For example, let's first study whether we can eliminate wrinkles?" Li Wenya suggested.

……

'Ding! '

Special Event: Mother's Orders!

The scar repair research team has been working on this for ten years without any breakthroughs. Perhaps they should consider a different approach?

'Scar repair is too difficult, so how about trying wrinkle removal first, which is less challenging?'

'Event Request: Host, please change the research direction of the [Trauma Scar Repair Research Group].'

Event Reward: The [Trauma Scar Repair R&D Team] has developed a [Short-Term Wrinkle Smoothing Technology].

Special Note 1: One of the core raw materials for this technology is wild Curacao aloe vera, found on the edge of the desert in the Agadez region of northern Nile, Africa.

Special Note 2: The host will receive intelligence information regarding this core raw material from [Musk]. The host is responsible for determining how to obtain the raw material.

……

An Wuyang quickly reviewed the notifications from the Happy Life System and keenly realized that this reward was a bit difficult to obtain.

"What's the meaning of you two not saying anything?" Li Wenya raised her voice.

"Is what I'm talking about difficult?" Li Wenya added.

Anhuchun chose to remain silent.

In the end, An Wuyang answered, "No problem, Mom, I'll talk to them tomorrow and ask them to change the research and development direction."

Anhuchun suddenly became a little anxious, "The research and development direction can't be changed just like that. I'm the one who makes the decisions about the research and development center, right?"

Li Wenya glared at An Huchun immediately, "You think you're in charge? What do you mean by 'in charge'? You've been researching for ten years without any results, what does that even mean?"

Anhuchun immediately fell silent again.

"Son, I'm leaving this matter to you!" Li Wenya then looked at An Wuyang.

“Okay, Mom, I’ll handle it.” An Wuyang readily agreed.

This just happened to trigger a special event in the Happy Life System. Although obtaining the rewards was difficult, I just tried to find a way to overcome the difficulties.

An Wuyang isn't someone who's afraid of difficulties!

It's about ten o'clock in the evening.

An Wuyang chatted with his girlfriends.

'Wu Yang: Baby, have you finished your serum?'

Xia Yuqing: Not yet!

Xia Yuqing: There are still three unopened bottles in the refrigerator.

'An Wuyang: Don't you use it every day?'

Xia Yuqing: Huh?

Xia Yuqing: Didn't your instructions say to use it once every three days?

This is indeed the instruction information listed in the manual for the Snow White Essence Cream series, but that's how ordinary people use it.

'Safe and sound: Just use it every day!'

'An Wuyang: My mom uses it every day.'

Xia Yuqing: Isn't that too extravagant?

'An Wuyang: Baby, you're my girlfriend. I'll never lose you, no matter who else is gone.'

This statement excludes Li Wenya.

Of course, Li Wenya would never know that An Wuyang said such things in front of Xia Yuqing, so what's wrong with saying nice things?
Furthermore, given Wugengtian's production capacity and the fact that Wugengtian doesn't sell the premium version of the essence cream to the public, would Li Wenya or An Wuyang's girlfriend be lacking in the premium version of the essence cream?

……

The following day. Wednesday, December 15th.

Just after eight o'clock in the morning, An Wuyang was woken up by a phone call from Ren Tianxiang.

"Good morning, Mr. An," Ren Tianxiang greeted.

An Wuyang understood Ren Tianxiang's urgency and replied, "Mr. Ren, are you awake so early?"

Ren Tianxiang frankly admitted, "I didn't get a good rest yesterday. I kept thinking about the heart medicine. I was worried that those Ruixi people would cause some new problems today, and I was also worried that the heart medicine wouldn't have the expected effect."

Ren Tianxiang spent the whole night yesterday learning about the Ruishi people, and then discovered that these Ruishi people were quite outrageous!

An Wuyang was somewhat surprised by Ren Tianxiang's candor, but then reassured him, "Don't worry, there won't be any surprises today!"

Nine in the morning.

The R&D center of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group.

Nova Pharmaceuticals dispatched a top-tier medical research team to begin work at dawn, and Melissa Foster, Nova Pharmaceuticals' representative from Xia Country, also arrived on site.

Given that everything was alright and Melissa had personally visited, Nova Pharma's top medical research team finally didn't cause any more trouble this time. Just over an hour later, they used small automated production equipment to produce one hundred packs of nitroglycerin pills.

The group returned to An Wuyang's office at the Five Watches headquarters with the nitroglycerin pills.

Melissa followed along with the tablet, handed it to An Wuyang, and explained, "Mr. An, our Nova team has recruited hundreds of volunteers in Europe for testing."

"The final results were all very good; with the exception of a few heart conditions, the nitroglycerin pill worked very well for most types of heart disease," Melissa added.

"For example, it is very effective for angina pectoris, arrhythmia, and heart failure in the field of coronary artery disease," Melissa added.

Ren Tianxiang suffered from heart failure!
So when Ren Tianxiang heard about heart failure, he immediately asked, "How many volunteers have heart failure?"

Melissa looked at An Wuyang, and after An Wuyang nodded slightly, she replied, "There are twenty-seven volunteers related to heart failure."

“Referring to the NYHA functional class of heart disease, there are 9 volunteers in Class I, 9 in Class II, 6 in Class III, and 3 in Class IV,” Melissa said, looking at the information on her phone.

“Except for three patients with severe heart failure classified as NYHA Class IV, all patients in the other three classes responded well,” Melissa added.

According to the NYHA functional classification:
Patients with stage 1 heart failure do not have particularly obvious daily discomforts, such as running and going up and down stairs, just like normal people, but their heart structure may already have abnormalities.

Ren Tianxiang is a Class II patient in the NYHA classification. Patients in this class will experience significant shortness of breath and fatigue when climbing stairs.

Of course, patients at this level will also have a strong reaction to running, which will have a significant impact on their quality of life.

The third stage is even more serious. Patients with this level of heart failure experience various problems in their daily lives, including significant discomfort when taking a walk.

Ren Tianxiang is developing towards this level. When he visited the Tianjingyan medicinal herb planting base before, he only walked with An Wuyang for a short while before he started to feel tired.

As for the highest level.
That was already a critical stage, because the patient couldn't even lie flat, and even normal rest would cause chest tightness and shortness of breath, and even edema, chest swelling, and ascites.

Patients with grade 4 heart failure are at risk of acute heart failure at any time and usually require hospitalization.

Therefore, Melissa stated that patients at this level of heart failure did not show any significant positive response, as this was, after all, a critical stage of the disease.

Is it perhaps beyond medical help?
"Given the short testing period, although patients in the first three grades have shown very good results, it is not yet possible to determine whether they can be fully cured," Melissa added.

Ren Tianxiang doesn't care whether he can fully recover, as long as there are obvious results!

"It's good that it works!" An Wuyang replied.

"Let me taste it first," An Wuyang said, putting Ren Tianxiang at ease.

After all, even An Wuyang dared to personally test the medicine, so the safety of the nitroglycerin pills must be guaranteed, right?

An Wuyang casually picked up a box of nitroglycerin pills, removed the PTP packaging, and took out a single pill.

The size of the nitroglycerin pill is slightly smaller than a soybean. It can be swallowed or chewed up and taken without any difference.

However, if chewed before consumption, it may have a slightly bitter taste.

As for 'PTP packaging', it is actually a term used in the medical industry. Its full name is 'Press Through Packaging', which is translated as 'squeeze-to-wear packaging' or 'press-to-wear packaging'.

Both mean the same thing.

Most blister packs of medicines use the PTP packaging solution.

An Wuyang, of course, couldn't chew the pills before swallowing them. He took a sip of mineral water and chugged it down, casually asking, "How long will it take to take effect?"

Melissa immediately responded, "The average time to take effect in animal experiments is five minutes, and the situation in most volunteers also conforms to this time distribution."

"However, for a small number of overweight patients, the effect may be delayed by about 7-10 minutes," Melissa added.

When Melissa was explaining, she specifically looked at Ren Tianxiang.

According to the BMI algorithm, Ren Tianxiang's height is 176 cm and his weight is 69 kg, which corresponds to a BMI of 22.27, within the normal range of 18.5 to 24.

An Wuyang handed the blister pack of nitroglycerin pills he had opened to Ren Tianxiang, "Mr. Ren, would you like to try one?"

Ren Tianxiang took it without hesitation and ate one as well.

An Wuyang joked, "Okay, Mr. Ren will pay for this one too!"

"Melissa, what's the price of our nitroglycerin pills again?" An Wuyang asked deliberately.

“Our Nova Pharma plans to sell it for $3.6 per box outside of the UK,” Melissa responded.

According to the agreement between Nova Pharmaceuticals and Wugengtian, their ex-factory price is 2.5 yuan per box.

Based on today's exchange rate, 1 US dollar is equal to 6.3716 Xia Guoyuan, and the corresponding ex-factory price is approximately 3923.76 US dollars.

So Nova Pharma increased the price by almost ten times, right?
"Mr. Ren, remember to pay the bill," An Wuyang reminded him.

Ren Tianxiang looked helpless. He knew that An Wuyang was not short of money and was just joking.

"What is the shelf life of these medicines?" Ren Tianxiang asked.

Melissa chimed in, "We set the shelf life at thirty-six months, but theoretically, if stored properly, such as away from light and in a well-ventilated place, and kept dry, it can be stored for at least ten years."

“Then I’ll take all one hundred boxes!” Ren Tianxiang replied.

"Aren't you going to leave me any?" An Wuyang retorted.

"Does President An still need this?" Ren Tianxiang sighed.

“Alright, alright!” An Wuyang agreed.

"Thank you, Mr. An!" Ren Tianxiang expressed his gratitude.

Given his circumstances, An Wuyang could have easily extorted a large sum from him, but An Wuyang was still willing to sell at the normal price, which was indeed a favor.

Ren Tianxiang made the payment quickly, directly transferring the money from Tyland's account to Wu Gengtian's account on Hongkang Island. The total amount paid, including the two Huanxi payments, was $1360 million.

This sum of money will remain in Wu Gengtian's account on Hongkang Island and will not be converted into Xia Guoyuan for the time being.

As for the related tax issues, they will be paid by the entity within Wugengtian.

After the transaction was completed, Ren Tianxiang was eager to return to Bangkok, and An Wuyang did not try to stop him. The two parties were only in a cooperative relationship and there was no deep friendship between them.

After seeing Ren Tianxiang off, An Wuyang was just about to head to Tianfu. He had promised Zhuang Xiaomeng that he would go and keep her company, but Musk made a voice call using Little White Dove.
