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

Chapter 598 WPG's solution at dawn, the Desert Aloe project begins, and the problem with the heart medicine erupts!

When faced with the questions raised by Musk, An Wuyang genuinely felt they were all minor issues.

Musk: Do you really think it's a small problem?

Musk: Take your comfort pills, a major source of your profits, as an example. If we label your comfort pills as a monopoly and then impose a punitive 100% tariff, how do you plan to resolve the situation?

'An Wuyang: Didn't we already demonstrate the solution to this situation at dawn?'

'An Wuyang: I remember now, you Bald Eagles don't need the Snow-White Essence Cream.'

The aesthetic views of the Bald Eagle people and the Xia people are actually quite different!

After all, the Bald Eagles are white people, and they don't consider white skin to be beautiful. They even deliberately tan their skin to a wheat color, believing that it is healthy and beautiful.

Doesn't that sound pretty outrageous?

The beauty standards that equate yellow skin to white skin and white skin to wheat skin are actually concepts cultivated by capital, which facilitates the marketing of goods by capital.

'An Wuyang: If you, the Bald Eagles, impose punitive tariffs, we'll just lower the price of our products at dawn.'

'An Wuyang: The ex-factory price of Shuxin Pills to overseas distributors was previously $60. If a 100% tariff is really imposed, then we will lower the price to $30.'

Musk criticized An Wuyang's proposed price reduction strategy.

Musk: What about your profits?

'Safe and sound: Referencing the bundling strategy of the Snow White Essence Cream series!'

'Anwuyang: We need our distributors to purchase our Five-Times Vitamin Products in a certain proportion.'

'An Wuyang: These vitamin products can be disposed of entirely within Xia Kingdom's borders.'

'An Wuyang: Wouldn't that solve the tariff problem?'

Musk: Our sales tax in the Bald Eagle is also very high.

'All is well: Bald Eagle dealers can also implement bundling strategies with Bald Eagle.'

'An Wuyang: As long as they employ bundling strategies, circumventing tax regulations shouldn't be too difficult for those pharmaceutical giants, right?'

Musk: Has anyone ever said that you'd be a perfect fit for our Bald Eagle development?

An Wuyang's idea and mindset of circumventing tax rules is indeed very suitable for development in Bald Eagle.

Musk: You could certainly do that with a calming pill, but with a heart remedy, it's less feasible.

Musk: After all, your "Midnight Relief Pills" are indeed very cheap in Xia Country, and they're even sold at a low price when exported to us, the Bald Eagles. That's somewhat justifiable, even within legal terms.

Musk: But the nitroglycerin pills won't work!

Musk: Heart medication is expensive even in your Xia country. If it's cheap in our Bald Eagle, it simply won't pass our legal review process.

'Safe and sound: There are solutions for heart problems with nitroglycerin pills.'

'An Wuyang: The price of nitroglycerin pills is indeed very expensive. If we consider the price of $3600 per pill, even in your Bald Eagle, I doubt many people could afford it, right?'

Musk: Of course!

'An Wuyang: In that case, the solution is even simpler.'

'Peaceful and safe: For example, if the countries next to yours, Maple Leaf Country and Mexico, do not impose punitive tariffs on us, then send heart medication to those two countries.'

'An Wuyang: Your local distributors in the US could easily organize a vacation to Canada and Mexico, sending the patients to both countries so they can take their nitroglycerin pills there.'

'An Wuyang: Once the patient's condition improves, the vacation will be over, and then we can return to Bald Eagle. At that point, you Bald Eagles can't possibly collect taxes anymore, can you?'

'An Wuyang: Does this mean the patient has to vomit up the nitroglycerin pills?'

Surely the bald eagle can't follow the same trick as Liu Zi eating rice noodles, can it?
Musk: Did you guys also engage in these kinds of legitimate tax avoidance practices in Xia Country during the early hours of the morning?

Musk believes that Anwuyang has a lot of tricks up its sleeve, and these tricks are all very effective.

'An Wuyang: We pay taxes in full at dawn, and we also pay the full amount of social insurance and housing provident fund for our employees at dawn.'

Musk has his doubts!
But none of this matters.

Musk changed the subject.

Musk: The work in Nyheterozo is underway; we are currently mapping out the growing range of wild Aloe vera and determining its habitat.

Musk: The first batch of wild Aloe vera will be collected, including juveniles, mature plants, and perennials, to provide for your research during the early morning hours.

Musk: We'll handle the external transportation issues, and you guys work your way up to the border control problems, okay?

An Wuyang: Of course, no problem.

'An Wuyang: Is everything alright in Nihe Kingdom?'

Musk: What other trouble could there be?

Musk: Don't worry!

Musk: There absolutely will be no problem!

An Wuyang always felt that Musk's flag-raising was toxic; what in the world is absolute?

What if?
However, An Wuyang didn't say it out loud. In any case, it would be best if there were no problems. If there were any troubles, then the White Eagle side would be responsible for handling them.

'An Wuyang: That's good!'

After An Wuyang and Musk finished their conversation, Xia Yuqing immediately stood up. She looked at An Wuyang with a mischievous smile and called out in a coquettish tone, "Brother Wuyang~"

Faced with Xia Yuqing like this, how could An Wuyang not understand what she meant?
An Wuyang also got up, and the two headed towards the master bedroom.
Xia Yuqing hasn't played with her big toy in a long time, and now she's going to fully enjoy her workout time!
About half an hour later, Mr. An started making excuses again. Perhaps the spicy shrimp tonight was too spicy, which affected his performance?

Some people have so many excuses for losing at games, so it's normal for President An to make some excuses too, right?

While An Wuyang and Xia Yuqing were enjoying their time together, senior executives at Nova Pharmaceuticals were holding an online meeting, which Melissa, as a representative of Xia Country, also participated in.

Participants in this online meeting included:

CEO: Vale Seaman;
Senior Vice President: Monica Sanchez;
Technical Lead: Hogans Kobo;
And security chief: Paul Bania;

Finally, there's Melissa Foster.

CEO Vale Seaman was the first to speak, "Melissa, did you personally handle the delivery arrangements this time?"

Melissa responded affirmatively, “Yes.” “Did you follow the pre-arranged confidentiality plan?” Valéry added.

“Of course!” Melissa affirmed again.

Valais continued, "Tell me your specific arrangements."

Melissa recounted, "For this delivery operation, I strictly followed the confidentiality plan, dividing the 50,000 heart pills into five equal portions and arranging five teams to deliver them, with each team consisting of three people supervising each other."

“All the delivery personnel are veteran employees from the headquarters security department,” Melissa added.

“For the corresponding delivery routes, we randomly purchase tickets for the next available flight, which means that even we ourselves don’t know the delivery routes in advance,” Melissa continued.

At this point, Melissa realized the problem. "Mr. Valais, is there a problem with our delivery team?"

Valais responded without hesitation, "Yes, there were problems with both the C and D lines."

Melissa immediately responded, "Route C is scheduled as [Shengqing-Marancia-Deutsche Welle-Rich]. Judging from the current time, the problem seems to be with the [Marancia] node."

“Route D is scheduled as [Shengqing-Indehia-Great Britain-Rishie]. Based on the timeline, the only possible point of failure is [Indehia],” Melissa continued her analysis.

"What's the situation now?" Melissa asked.

Valais didn't explain, but continued to ask, "Besides you, is there anyone else who knows about the route information?"

Melissa immediately responded, "Only I know, and the people on each route are isolated from each other. The delivery people on route A don't know about route B or any other route."

"To be precise, even I don't know the truth!" Melissa added.

“Because I’m only responsible for planning the first segment of the corresponding route. For example, Route C from [Shengqing] to [Marancia] was planned by me. The subsequent routes are just pre-recommended plans, but the specific plans will be decided by the delivery personnel themselves after they arrive in Marancia,” Melissa added.

“It is in situations of uncertainty that we are safer,” Melissa added.

Without prior planning, it is difficult to target effectively.

After listening to Melissa's explanation, Valley asked, "Monica, what are your thoughts?"

Senior Vice President Monica remained silent, as did Security Director Paul; Technical Director Hogans was the first to speak.

“Melissa, think carefully, besides you, is there anyone else who knows our delivery route?” Hogans asked.

“There shouldn’t be any more,” Melissa replied.

“Because this task was given to me by Mr. Valais.” Melissa suddenly paused.

Valais asked, "What did you remember?"

“There’s another person who might know the delivery route,” Melissa responded.

"Who?" Valais asked immediately.

Security supervisor Paul immediately spoke up, "Who could possibly know?"

“Elma Waters, Warehouse Supervisor at the Shengqing Branch,” Melissa replied.

"After we get the heart-saving pills back from Wugengtian, we'll do some basic processing, like removing the outer packaging, so that we can get the Wugengtian products out of Shengqing under the protection of the local authorities," Melissa explained.

“Alma accompanied the entire delivery team until they left the airport this time,” Melissa added.

“The shipping process requires Alma’s supervision and management, but theoretically, Alma only has the authority to supervise and manage, not the authority to determine the delivery destination, unless someone tells Alma that.” Melissa added.

Security supervisor Paul sneered, "Are you accusing our security department of having problems?"

Melissa denied it, saying, "I don't even know the situation right now. I was just stating my analysis and speculation."

Melissa added, "Besides, Alma is quite pretty, isn't she?"

This means that the security personnel responsible for the delivery may have inadvertently leaked the secret.

Melissa added, "If there's a problem with routes C and D, are there problems with the other three routes?"

“The other three lines are normal,” Valais replied.

“Since the other three routes are still fine, Manager Paul, you’re the only one who can contact these people right now. Why don’t you contact the people on the three routes and ask about the situation?” Melissa suggested.

“Ask them if Elma has inquired about this. If Elma has indeed inquired, then there’s a high probability that Elma is involved,” Melissa added.

CEO Valéry Seaman instructed, "Paul, contact them immediately to confirm the situation."

“Okay, just a moment.” Security supervisor Paul was the first to log out of the online meeting room.

Security supervisor Paul was very cautious; simply leaving the online meeting room wasn't enough, he also changed rooms before sending the message through secure communication channels.

Even though the delivery person may still be on the plane, there is WiFi on the plane, so they can still receive the message.

Security supervisor Paul relayed Melissa's suspicions to Elma, the warehouse manager of the Shengqing branch, inquiring whether there was anything amiss.

After waiting for about five minutes, security supervisor Paul finally received a reply.

It turns out that Melissa's guess was correct!
At the airport, Alma had inquired about their destination. Given that Alma was a staff member dispatched by headquarters, and that Alma was indeed quite beautiful, it was quite possible that information about the transportation route could be leaked through Alma.

More importantly, security personnel on all three routes confirmed this information, indicating that Alma had tried to inquire about their destinations.

Faced with this situation, security supervisor Paul immediately understood that the problem lay with their security personnel.
Security supervisor Paul returned to the online meeting room.

Melissa immediately asked, "Manager Paul, how is it?"

Security supervisor Paul didn't even consider hiding it, because although the problem was happening within the security department, it wasn't directly Paul's responsibility. If he chose to cover it up, he would only be asking for trouble.

“Mr. Valais, Ms. Monica, Ms. Melissa, this time it seems to really be a problem with Alma Waters, the warehouse manager of the Shengqing branch.” Security manager Paul selectively ignored the security department’s problems.

After all, to put it another way, if it weren't for the problem with Alma Waters, the warehouse manager of the Shengqing branch, the subsequent problems wouldn't have occurred, right?
But if we look at it from another angle, if it's not the security department's delivery personnel who have the problem, but only Alma, then it will be very difficult to obtain the transportation route!

When faced with security chief Paul's attempt to distort the facts, no one called him out on it, since Alma Waters was indeed the more direct cause.

“Melissa, go and take control of Alma Waters immediately,” Vale instructed.

“Okay,” Melissa replied affirmatively.

“Paul, go and investigate Alma’s situation immediately. I want you to investigate it yourself, not just look at the files,” Valais added.

Security supervisor Paul naturally wouldn't refuse; now that their security department was involved, it was an opportunity for them to redeem themselves!
