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

Chapter 638 WPG was definitely wrong from the start! A chasm cleaved at dawn! The CIA got involved?

"Was there a problem from the beginning?" Zhu Guanghao asked in surprise.

Li Shiyu answered affirmatively, "That's right!"

"Do you remember the first time you crossed paths with that person?" Li Shiyu asked.

Zhu Guanghao responded affirmatively, "Of course I remember. Back then, he got a batch of electronic waste containing gold in Bald Eagle. The purchase price was only ten million US dollars, but he actually sold it for more than three hundred million."

"At that time, Sun Kairui, Xu Haoran, and I split fifty percent together," Zhu Guanghao remembered clearly.

Because that was the first time he had ever experienced the joy of making money!
Li Shiyu scoffed, "Haven't you noticed the problem yet?"

"Huh?" Zhu Guanghao was taken aback.

“The purchase price is ten million US dollars, the sales price is over three hundred million, and the net profit is over two hundred million Xia Guoyuan. He is still willing to give you fifty percent of that,” Li Shiyu reminded him.

Zhu Guanghao suddenly realized.

The problem isn't that An Wuyang is willing to share more profits, but rather that costs are too low and profits are too high.

"The source of this batch of gold-containing electronic waste is questionable," Li Shiyu concluded definitively.

Zhu Guanghao asked hesitantly, "You mean that Wugengtian might also have made secret arrangements on the White Eagle's side?"

“When we investigated the An family before, we discovered a problem: the An family had visited Bald Eagle multiple times and stayed for quite a while,” Li Shiyu explained the findings of the investigation.

"Including the Spring Festival that An Huchun and Wu Yangge spent in Bald Eagle in 2021," Li Shiyu added.

“If that’s the case, then we need to reassess the hidden strength of the An family,” Zhu Guanghao responded.

Li Shiyu laughed and denied it, "Actually, it's not necessary!"

Without waiting for Zhu Guanghao to ask, Li Shiyu continued, "No matter what hidden cards the An family has, it doesn't actually conflict with us."

“We are Anjia’s partners, not Anjia’s rivals,” Li Shiyu added.

Zhu Guanghao suddenly realized, "That's right! We are partners with the An family! The An family's hidden strength is actually a good thing for us."

The night of New Year's Day was destined to be extraordinary.

Anjia's "hidden strength" revealed in Tyland has secretly alarmed many people. Some who originally regarded Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group as just a business group have had to re-evaluate their attitude towards it.

If Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group is merely a commercial conglomerate, then no matter how many resources it controls or how strong its earning power is, it's all just a castle in the air.

Like the Golden Ant customer service company back then, it has reached the pinnacle of the business world and has an outstanding ability to make money.

Golden Ant Customer Service Company's 2021 fiscal year
The calendar year is from April 2020 to March 2021.

In fiscal year 2021, Golden Ant Customer Service Company's net profit reached a staggering 575 billion yuan, which is far more impressive than working at dawn.
This net profit exceeded that of Ping An Xingtian Group, one of the five major distributors under Wugengtian.

Ping An Xingtian Group relies on the banking industry and the profit growth of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group, and its net profit in the calendar year of 2020 was only over 300 billion yuan.

In addition, the net profit of Golden Ant Customer Service Company also exceeded that of Xiaxin Bank, which was only 490 billion.

This demonstrates just how profitable Golden Ant Customer Service Company is!
But so what?

When faced with overwhelming power, Golden Ant Customer Service Company was indeed a castle in the air, easily beaten down and taught a lesson by iron fist.

This is a world where power reigns supreme!

Compared to Golden Ant Customer Service Company, Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group is actually surpassed in every aspect. Therefore, in the eyes of certain social strata, Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group is nothing more than an emerging pharmaceutical company.

It would be extremely difficult for An Wuyang to lead Wugengtian to break through a certain boundary, cross the insurmountable chasm, and enter a completely new level.

He had already stood on the ascension platform at dawn, waiting for the opportunity to ascend.

But that opportunity is too hard to come by!
Things are different now. The strength that Wu Gengtian has revealed has earned him some respect, at least letting some people know that Wu Gengtian has the power to overturn tables.

This means that Wujingtian has transformed from a 'chess piece' to a 'spectator'.

As for whether Wugengtian can become a 'chess player' in the future, that depends on Wugengtian's future development.

If Wugengtian continues along the same path and soars into the sky from the Ascension Platform, coupled with his 'hidden strength,' then Wugengtian might actually have a chance to break through the limitations of his social class.

This is also why An Wuyang attaches great importance to the GSS Global Special Security Mobile Team, because An Wuyang is very clear about the cruel nature of this world.

……

The neon lights of Tokyo, isolated overseas.

CIA White Eagle Intelligence Investigation Bureau Winterkyo Station Deputy Chief Rice Fox is reviewing intelligence data on the Gokyo Pharmaceutical Group and the An family.

Rhys Fox is of mixed Japanese and American descent. His mother's family is very powerful in Japan, which is why he was able to become the deputy stationmaster of the Japanese station.

Rice had heard of Anwuyang and Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group more than once, and he was good friends with Edmund McCauley, the major shareholder of AbbVie Pharmaceuticals.

During a private gathering, Edmund had asked him to find a way to cause some trouble for Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group and An Wuyang if the opportunity arose.

Of course, if Rice is willing to help, it certainly won't be free or without compensation.

Aibowei Pharmaceuticals is very wealthy and powerful!
Now that Rhys Fox has seen the situation in Tyrande Guman, a plan has formed in his mind.

Rice immediately convened an emergency meeting.

In a secure conference room at the CIA Winterkyo station, Deputy Station Chief Rice personally chaired the meeting.

Attendees included:

Jamie Mike, Chief of the Intelligence Section of the Xia Kingdom;
Kevin Richard, Chief Intelligence Officer at Tokyo Station;
WinterKyoto Station Operations Supervisor: Angelo Glaston;
There's also Rice's executive assistant, Anthony Fred, but Antoniere is practically just there to fill a spot; he's only an executive assistant, not an assistant station manager.

"Jeremiah, what specific information does your Xia Kingdom's intelligence department have about Xia Kingdom's Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group?" Rice asked.

Jamie responded, "We had previously been aware of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group, which is suspected of multiple drug smuggling cases, but we couldn't find any evidence against them." After all, the drug smugglers are the five major distributors and seven overseas distributors, so what does Wugengtian have to do with it?
Rice didn't want to ask about the drug smuggling at dawn.

Why would the CIA need to get involved in something as trivial as smuggling drugs?

"Does your Xia Kingdom's intelligence department know about the terrorist attack planned by the Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group in Tyrande Guman?" Rice defined the killing of Ruan Feihu and his two companions by the GSS Tyrande squad as a terrorist attack.

Jamie was taken aback. Did Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group also do this kind of thing on the side?

Why doesn't he know?
"I'm sorry, Deputy Station Master Rice, I haven't received any relevant information," Jamie replied somewhat perfunctorily.

Jamie then continued, "The relevant incident occurred in Tyrande Guman, and according to the rules, it should be handled by the Guman station."

This is Jamie reminding Rice not to overstep his authority.

Dongjing Station has its own jurisdiction, and Guman in Tyrande has the jurisdiction of Guman Station.

Although the Five Watches Pharmaceutical Group of Xia State was involved, and the Xia State Intelligence Section of the Winter Capital Station could indeed be responsible for it, Jeremy did not want to get involved.

"Kevin, do you have any information about the Five Lights Pharmaceutical Group?" Rice asked Kevin Richard, the intelligence chief.

Kevin was slightly displeased; how could he not know what was going on with Guman?

Is Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group carrying out a terrorist attack in Guman?

It was clearly Ruan Feihu and his two companions who attempted a terrorist attack against Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group, but they were simply killed by Wugengtian in retaliation!

Kevin also had an insider in the Guman police system, and he knew all the details.

Rice is trying to distort the truth right from the start. If there's nothing fishy going on, Kevin should write his name backwards!
Given Rice's distorted version of events and the obvious hidden motives, Kevin didn't want to get involved.

Kevin responded, "Our intelligence department has not paid attention to Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group. After all, intelligence work in Xia Kingdom is handled by the Xia Kingdom's intelligence department."

Kevin has now passed the buck back to Jamie, the head of the intelligence department of Xia Kingdom.

Jamie didn't care about being passed the buck, and he replied directly, "If Deputy Station Chief Rice wants more specific intelligence, perhaps we can contact Rodney Ramsey, the intelligence chief of the Guman station."

Jamie actually knew Rodney, the intelligence chief of the Guman station, and the two even had a certain personal relationship.

However, Rice ignored their answers and said, as if answering his own question, "Given the strength shown by the Five Hours Pharmaceutical Group in the attack on Guman, we have reason to suspect that the Five Hours Pharmaceutical Group may pose a threat to our Bald Eagle."

"Kevin, your intelligence department, in coordination with the operations department, will prepare an action plan targeting Wugengtian, especially focusing on An Wuyang, the current controller of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group," Rice added.

"If necessary, to prevent the Five-Watch Pharmaceutical Group from posing a further threat to our White Eagle, you should first implement Plan K," Rice added.

The so-called 'K Plan' means to eliminate An Wuyang directly!
Because it was suspected that the Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group led by An Wuyang might pose a threat to the White Eagle, the way to eliminate the threat was to kill the personnel who might pose the threat.

I have to say, this is very much like the bald eagle!
But the guys in the confidential meeting room were all smart. They knew very well that this was just Rice's excuse. It was more likely that someone had found Rice and was using Rice's power to get rid of An Wuyang.

However, neither Jeremy, the head of the Xia Kingdom's intelligence department, nor Kevin, the intelligence director of the Dongjing Station, responded. Now, the pressure is on Angelo, the operations director of the Dongjing Station.

Rice happens to be the deputy station chief in charge of field operations, making him Angelo's direct superior. How will Angelo deal with Rice?
Operations Director Angelo was the first to agree, saying, "No problem, our operations department will arrange personnel to participate in the operation as soon as possible."

“However, I am currently leading Team One and Team Two in handling CPJ-related cases, which are now at a critical stage, so I cannot personally participate in this operation,” Angelo explained regarding his work.

Angelo then added, "Team Three is currently not on duty. Station Master Rice can assign them to missions, but the team leader's abilities are slightly lacking, so Station Master Rice may need to devote more energy to supervising them."

Jamie and Kevin both smiled when they heard Angelo's words.

Because Angelo's answer was very interesting!
First, Angelo agreed to Rice's order, thus avoiding the trouble of disobeying his direct superior.

However, Angelo then stated that he had work to attend to, and that he was indeed leading a team handling CPJ-related cases, which was a tactful way of rejecting Rice.

More importantly, Angelo also provided a solution, indicating that Rice could mobilize the third team of field personnel from the Operations Department to carry out the mission.

However, Angelo also expressed that the third team captain was not capable enough, and asked Rice to devote more energy to supervision, which was equivalent to letting Rice take charge of the operation on his own.

If any unexpected situation arises in the future, such as when accountability is sought, Angelo can claim that he was unaware of the situation and that Rice handled everything personally.

It has to be said that every single one of these guys who have risen to a certain level in the CIA is a shrewd and calculating individual.

They could guess Rice's purpose, but they wouldn't directly point it out and offend Rice, nor would they take the blame for Rice. Instead, they would find some reasonable and appropriate reasons and excuses to let Rice solve the problem himself.

After all, Rice's actions this time were a bit underhanded!

If Rice wanted to use the CIA to handle his private affairs, he should at least have revealed what benefits he would receive beforehand, rather than making it seem like he was trying to get something for nothing.

Actually, Rice had his own considerations!

Rice was worried that if he revealed the benefits right away, he might accidentally leave a handle on himself, which would become a weapon against him.

Rice is now choosing to take advantage of the situation for free because if the relevant matters are exposed, Rice can explain that it was entirely a decision-making error on his part, and that he targeted Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group because of some benefit.

The two are fundamentally different!
That's why Rice acted like a newbie in the workplace, choosing to get something for free instead of making the benefits clear first.

It's fair to say there's just too much backstabbing and infighting among CIA colleagues.

However, such intrigue and power struggles are absolutely necessary.

Because this is the CIA!

Isn't the CIA's traditional skill to take out their colleagues?

This kind of thing happens a lot in movies and TV shows; it's not just some plot that screenwriters make up.

Art originates from life!

Seeing that no one was cooperating, Rice silently considered the price offered by Abervey Pharmaceuticals and finally decided to take matters into his own hands.

“No problem, I will personally take charge of this matter.” Rice indicated that he accepted the proposal from Operations Director Angelo.
