Chapter 648 WPG's Little Foreigner Competing for Favor? A Gentle Lie! God Well! Annual Meeting Arrangements at Dawn?

Overall, An Wuyang's memory is quite good; under normal circumstances, he won't forget important things.

Of course, if he forgets, he will try to fix it.

After sending the message to the foreigner, An Wuyang didn't wait for Anna's reply and immediately made a phone call.

Anna answered the phone almost instantly. After all, Anna was chatting with An Wuyang, and it would have been strange if Anna hadn't answered immediately when An Wuyang called.

Although some short video bloggers like to teach people how to be cunning and calculating, such as waiting about ten seconds after receiving a call to subtly convey the message that "my time is precious".

But this kind of teaching is just something to listen to, as it can easily backfire!

For example, in the current situation between An Wuyang and the foreigner, if An Wuyang calls and Anna has to wait a while before answering, that would not be ideal.

After the call connected, An Wuyang spoke first, "Anna, do you think we should go back tomorrow or the day after?"

Anna replied, "That depends on your schedule, Ms. Anna. We'll choose a time that's convenient for you."

Anna has a high EQ; she is taking care of An Wuyang's time in order to win his favor through subtle details.

After all, who doesn't like it when the other person considers their needs?
An Wuyang considered for a moment, but did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he asked, "How many days does Christmas usually last in your Northern Bear Kingdom?"

This is An Wuyang's tactful inquiry into how many days they will stay in the Northern Bear Kingdom.
Anna understood what An Wuyang meant, and after a moment's thought, she replied, "On the 7th, our family will have dinner together."

“On the 8th, I want to see my mother,” Anna added.

Knowing that Anna's mother had passed away, An Wuyang secretly decided to accompany Anna to the cemetery.

“If Mr. An has the time, we can take another day to visit the CLC Group headquarters. I believe they will give Mr. An a very warm welcome.” Anna’s tone was somewhat teasing.

Anna is well aware that Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group is currently a core partner of CLC Group.

Previously, CLC Group was in trouble, but fortunately it joined forces with Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group. Now CLC Group has completely emerged from its predicament and reached a new peak.

For example, when the fourth batch of Shuxin Pills was distributed last month, CLC Group received 100 million bottles of Shuxin Pills directly because of the presence of foreigners.

These comfort pills were sold by the CLC Group at an average price of over two hundred US dollars, generating a total income of over two hundred million US dollars and a corresponding profit of over one hundred million US dollars.

This single item alone exceeds the entire annual profit of the CLC Group in the past!

Over the past four years, CLC Group’s annual profits have declined year by year, with the best performance in 2018 when net profit reached US$2800 million.

In 2019, net profit for the year dropped to $1900 million, and the following year it dropped even further to $1300 million.

As for 2021, the company suffered a direct loss in the first half of the year, and the estimated loss for the whole year may exceed $10 million. However, after cooperating with Wu Gengtian, the net profit was close to $200 million.

Isn't this like directly reaching a whole new peak?
So if An Wuyang went to the Northern Bear Country, how could the CLC Group not treat President An like a god?
Christmas?
Welcome to the Kingdom of Northern Bears, God An!

After a moment's consideration, An Wuyang replied, "If there are no unforeseen circumstances, we will depart tomorrow afternoon."

An Wuyang added, "The time in the capital of your Northern Bear Kingdom is five hours behind our Xia Kingdom time. The distance from Shanghai to Moscow is about 6,800 kilometers. It will take us about seven and a half hours to get there by Gulfstream G650ER."

“If we leave at 3 p.m., we will arrive there around 5:30 p.m., not quite 6 p.m. local time,” An Wuyang explained regarding the time difference.

Converted to Xia Kingdom time, this time is only a little past 10 p.m.

"Once we land, we can have a simple meal and then rest properly to adjust to the time difference," An Wuyang said, having considered everything thoroughly.

Because according to the time in Xia Kingdom, his sleeping time was not disrupted and was still controlled before midnight in Xia Kingdom, which corresponds to around 7 pm in Bei Xiong Kingdom.

According to An Wuyang's habits, he might wake up at five or six in the morning local time the next day, but An Wuyang could play on his phone and stay in bed a little longer, which would perfectly adapt to the time difference.

After listening to An Wuyang's arrangements, Anna responded affirmatively, "No problem, Mr. An's consideration is excellent."

“If there are any unforeseen circumstances, then we’ll postpone our trip by one day. We’ll go over on the 6th, and then head straight to your house for Christmas on the 7th,” An Wuyang added, explaining the possibility of unforeseen circumstances.

Anna secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried that An Wuyang wouldn't go if something unexpected happened, but now An Wuyang said that he would go even if something unexpected happened.

“Okay!” Anna agreed.

Anna hesitated for a moment, then asked again, "Could you come to my place today, Ms. Anna?"

Anna, that little foreigner, is trying to steal Xia Yuqing's big toy again!

Anna had already taken it once, so of course she wanted to seize the opportunity to take it back and enjoy it all by herself.

The foreigner knew that Xia Yuqing held the highest position in An Wuyang's heart, but when she seized the opportunity, she wouldn't let go of the chance to compete for favor.

For example, now that An Wuyang has agreed to accompany her to the Northern Bear Kingdom for Christmas, how could she not seize the opportunity to act coquettishly and beg for favors, so as to enjoy Xia Yuqing's big toy all to herself for one night?

Foreigners can be quite cunning at times!
The little foreigner is determined to fight Xia Yuqing for ownership of the big toy!

After all, the foreigner knew very well that Xia Yuqing was forming cliques to target her, so how could she not fight back?
Faced with Anna's coquettish plea for favor, An Wuyang considered it for a moment and then agreed, "Okay, I'll come over in a bit."

An Wuyang had a vague idea of ​​what the foreigner was thinking, but he wouldn't point it out, and even let it go a bit.

Although An Wuyang does dote on Xia Yuqing, he also needs to balance his relationships with his girlfriends, such as creating a little bit of a sense of crisis for Xia Yuqing.

Previously, there was a sense of crisis regarding the foreigners, so Xia Yuqing brought Lu Manman in to fight against them together. Isn't that a good thing?
So An Wuyang guessed that the foreigner was having a telepathic battle with Xia Yuqing, but An Wuyang did not intend to stop him.

"Anna, see you later. I need to take care of some work first," An Wuyang explained.

Anna obediently replied, "Yes, Ms. Anna, I'll wait for you."

The foreigner has achieved his goal, so of course she's very well-behaved!

After ending the call with the foreigner, An Wuyang first sent a message to Xia Yuqing, briefly explaining that he was going to the Northern Bear Country to investigate the CLC Group.

Of course, he couldn't say outright that he was accompanying Anna back for Christmas. Even if Xia Yuqing guessed that was the case, An Wuyang still wouldn't bring it up.

There are some things you may know in your heart, but is it really necessary to say them outright and make things awkward?

What will Xia Yuqing think then?
Sometimes, an excuse is just needed to give the other person a way out; that's called a gentle lie. As for some girls saying that a lie is a lie and there's no such thing as kindness or gentleness, then it can only be said that these girls probably have a hard time finding good men.

There may be exceptions, but it is by no means a common phenomenon.

Xia Yuqing didn't reply to the message immediately, but An Wuyang didn't mind, because he knew very well that Xia Yuqing was in class, not that she was angry and not replying to the message.

Xia Yuqing doesn't have that kind of bad habit!
After An Wuyang left a message for Xia Yuqing, he sent the same message to Lu Manman.

As for Xiao Qingyue and Zhuang Xiaomeng?
They didn't receive this treatment, and An Wuyang made no attempt to explain the itinerary.

Even if it was Lu Manman, it was only because she had a good relationship with Xia Yuqing and the two of them were often together that An Wuyang reported his itinerary to Lu Manman as well.

This would prevent Lu Manman from feeling disappointed if only Xia Yuqing knew his itinerary information while Lu Manman was unaware.

To avoid this situation, An Wuyang only needed to send a few more messages, which was very low cost. So An Wuyang also reported his itinerary to Lu Manman.

After sending the message, An Wuyang contacted Tang Wenshu via voice call through the Xiaobaige app.

Tang Wenshu answered the voice call and spoke first, "Hello, President An!"

"Old Tang, has Dad made any arrangements for this year's annual meeting?" An Wuyang asked.

This year's Spring Festival is earlier than usual, it falls on February 1st.

Based on the past years' experience, it is highly likely that there will be a nine-day holiday for the Spring Festival this year. In addition to the statutory seven days, January 29th and 30th, which need to be adjusted for work, will also be included in the Spring Festival holiday.

This means the annual meeting must be held no later than January 28th.

An Wuyang is well-versed in the seemingly insignificant but actually very important theory of the peak-end effect.

For example, when he was traveling to the West Islands, he applied the peak-end effect by scheduling the sea stage and drone fireworks show for the night before he left.

With this arrangement, even if the previous days in the West Islands weren't very enjoyable, this final, spectacular farewell performance will still make the trip to the West Islands incredibly fun.

As for the company's annual meeting at dawn, how could An Wuyang not use the peak-end effect, such a good theory for winning people's hearts?
Most companies don't understand that even if a company doesn't treat its employees very well throughout the year, as long as the year-end party makes the employees happy, it will leave a good impression on them.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of capitalists simply don't treat their employees as human beings!

In response to An Wuyang's inquiry, Tang Wenshu replied, "Chairman An has not yet arranged the annual meeting. I will contact Chairman An later to confirm the information and see if he has any arrangements."

“Okay!” An Wuyang replied.

"Is there a forecast for the production capacity of the comfort pills this month?" An Wuyang asked another question.

The fourth batch of Shuxin Pills was distributed on the 17th of last month, and a fifth batch will definitely be distributed before the Spring Festival.

"Based on the information from the supply chain, it is still unable to meet our production capacity at dawn," Tang Wenshu first explained.

Both the new and old factories under Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group have completed the transformation of their production lines into intelligent production lines, mainly for the production of Shuxin Pills, thereby ensuring the quality of Shuxin Pills.

The newly upgraded intelligent production lines in the new factory area have an annual production capacity of 3 billion units, or 250 million units per month.

The old factory area only has three production lines, and the corresponding annual production capacity is only one-fifth of that, which is 600 million units per year, and the corresponding monthly production capacity is only 50 million units.

Together, the production capacity is 300 million pills, which corresponds to 20 million bottles of the "Soothing Pills".

However, production capacity is only a theoretical figure, representing only the capacity that these production lines can achieve when operating at full capacity.

Actual production capacity is affected by a variety of factors.

The biggest factor is the supply of raw materials.

The problem Wugengtian is currently facing is this: insufficient raw materials from the upstream supply chain. This is because Wugengtian has very high quality requirements for finished white peony root, which many small and medium-sized processing plants cannot meet.

Especially for some family workshops, it is even more difficult to meet the high requirements for finished white peony root at dawn.

Tang Wenshu continued to elaborate, "Based on the current supply of raw materials and the relevant contracts that have already been signed, if the delivery date is set for the 27th, we can barely reach 16 million bottles."

"If the delivery date is set for the 20th, it will be around 13 million bottles," Tang Wenshu said, giving another new delivery date.

After a moment's consideration, An Wuyang replied, "The delivery date is set for the 20th, which is the normal delivery date. As for the remaining 3 million bottles, I have other arrangements."

"Understood!" Tang Wenshu replied affirmatively.

"In addition, you should first arrange for 80 bottles of Shuxin Pills to be packaged, sealed, and sent to Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport," An Wuyang explained. "And handle the procedures for their export to the Northern Bear Country."

“Okay,” Tang Wenshu readily agreed.

These matters are very simple to handle, and you don't even need to deal with them yourself before dawn; you can simply hand them over to Tianyin Pharmaceutical.

"Alright, I don't have anything else to do here. You should ask my dad as soon as possible and have him arrange the annual meeting." An Wuyang used a veiled approach.

Previously, he had asked Ankhishun if he had any plans, but now he has simply asked Ankhishun to make the arrangements.

Tang Wenshu still expressed his affirmation, but he only meant to relay the message to An Huchun without promising that An Huchun would handle the annual meeting.

Because Tang Wen was illiterate, he guessed that An Huchun wouldn't care about the annual meeting!

After Tang Wenshu ended his call with An Wuyang, he immediately contacted An Huchun.

An Huchun also answered Tang Wenshu's call and asked first, "What's the matter?"

Tang Wenshu asked politely, "Chairman An, President An just called and hopes that you can arrange the group's annual meeting."

Anju Haru bluntly retorted, "Me, arrange it?"

“I’ll arrange a hammer!” An Huchun said in standard Shengqing dialect.
