Chapter 654 WPG Highlights: A Surprising Christmas Gift! The Value of Time! Big Pets and Obedience Tests!

The southern suburbs of the city.

When An Wuyang arrived at Kashiev's villa estate, Kashiev and his family were already waiting at the gate to greet him, thus expressing their respect and regard for An Wuyang.

An Wuyang and Anna got out of the car together, and Kashiev immediately came to greet them, followed by Sergei and Vasily.

"Andy, Merry Christmas!" Kashiev's greeting was both polite and deliberately affectionate.

An Wuyang continued to use the English name 'Andy' in the Northern Bear Country. After all, it would be quite difficult for foreigners to call him 'President An' or 'Wuyang'.
“Merry Christmas, Mr. Petrov,” An Wuyang replied politely.

In the Northern Bear Kingdom, under normal circumstances, given the relationship between An Wuyang and Anna, An Wuyang should not address Kashiev as 'Mr. Petrov', because the Northern Bear Kingdom is quite strict in its etiquette regarding address.

For example, when children address their parents, they almost never use their names like they do in the Bald Eagle region; instead, they use nicknames like "Dad" or "Mom."

If there are outsiders present, in a relatively formal setting, then they will use more formal terms like 'father' or 'mother'.

It is almost impossible for them to call their parents by their first name or surname.

Furthermore, after learning Russian, An Wuyang discovered that he had misunderstood Kashev's name. Kashev's full name should not be "Kashev Vodianova Petrov," but rather "Kashev Vodianovich Petrov."

An Wuyang greeted Sergei, Vasily, and the others before touring the villa estate under the guidance of Kashiev.

Kashiev introduced the basic information about this villa estate.

The 9,200 square meter plot of land contains three buildings, including a main building and two annex buildings. The entire villa estate is separated by high walls, thus forming an independent and safe space.

The wall has a security monitoring system and barbed wire. At the four corners, there are even spherical integrated machines that seem to integrate infrared thermal radiation detectors, motion detection sensors, and high-precision night vision devices.

It can only be said that CLC Group's former main business was indeed security services; the villa estate in Kashiev was very well secured!
After a brief tour of the villa estate, the group arrived at the main building's reception room.

At An Wuyang's prompting, Anna first took out four Christmas gifts for the children, all of which were ten-gram gold longevity locks.

Anna took the initiative to explain the meaning of the longevity locks in the Xia Kingdom, and added at the end, "They all weigh ten grams, thus symbolizing perfection."

Sergei and Vasily quickly gestured for the children to express their gratitude.

After delivering the children's Christmas gifts, An Wuyang took out a file folder and handed it to Kashiev, saying, "Mr. Petrov, this is my Christmas gift for you."

Kashev was secretly curious about what gift An Wuyang had given him.
“Thank you for the gift, Andy. We’ve also prepared Christmas gifts for you,” Kashiev said as he took the file bag.

Kashiev didn't open the file bag; instead, he placed it on the coffee table and then picked up two more folders from it.

Kashev first handed Anna a folder.

“Anna, this is the CLC Group equity transfer document. I am transferring three percent of my own equity to you,” Kashev explained regarding the Christmas gift.

Anna was surprised, as she previously only owned two percent of the CLC Group's shares and had no right of inheritance.

Now they're actually giving her another 3% of the shares?
It should be noted that even the first heir, Sergei, and the second heir, Vasily, only have the same two percent share as Anna before them.

Sergei and Vasily looked surprised when they heard Kashiev's words.

On the contrary, their mother Irina showed no signs of anything amiss. Although she was not Anna's biological mother, she was very clever. She knew that Anna had now risen to a higher social status, so how could she possibly object?
Anna did not immediately accept Kashev's Christmas gift; she first looked at An Wuyang.

Anna was equally intelligent; how could she not know that Kashev's gift of three percent of CLC Group's shares was entirely because of An Wuyang?
Faced with Kashiev's direct gift of three percent of CLC Group's shares, An Wuyang looked at Kashiev with newfound respect. He knew very well that Kashiev was trying to increase Anna's status and share of benefits in CLC Group, thereby further binding Wugengtian to him.

After all, the cooperation between CLC Group and Wugengtian was based on the relationship between An Wuyang and Anna. Therefore, giving Anna benefits was equivalent to pleasing An Wuyang and deepening the cooperation with Wugengtian.

An Wuyang nodded slightly, indicating that Anna should accept the gift.

Anna then accepted the folder that Kashiev handed her and politely replied, "Thank you, Father."

Kashiev smiled and said, "Merry Christmas!"

"Merry Christmas, Father!" Anna also wished.

Kashiev then handed another folder to An Wuyang, saying, "Andy, this is 20% of the equity in the Siberian Cloud Fire Vine project. Our CLC Group has already signed the relevant agreement. Once you sign it, you will receive the corresponding equity."

An Wuyang looked at Kashev with slight surprise. If he had only sighed a little when Kashev gave Anna three percent of the CLC Group's shares, he was truly surprised now.

Kashev has great courage!
For CLC Group, the Siberian Cloud Firevine project could potentially put pressure on Wugengtian in terms of upstream raw materials, but now Kashiev has taken the initiative to invite Wugengtian to join the Siberian Cloud Firevine project.

This is equivalent to CLC Group voluntarily giving up the opportunity to manipulate the situation, thus fully demonstrating its sincerity.

That's why An Wuyang admired Kashev's courage.

“On behalf of Wugengtian, I accept this gift. Mr. Petrov, I really like this gift!” An Wuyang expressed his satisfaction.

Kashiev immediately smiled, and Sergei also looked relieved, only Vasily's expression was slightly unnatural.

Because Vasily was handling the Siberian cloud fire vine project, and he handled it very well, even establishing the standard for Siberian cloud fire vine.

However, Vasily has now surprisingly handed over the Siberian Firevine project to someone else.
Even if only 20% is given up, in reality, CLC Group only has a 50% share in the Siberian Cloud Fire Vine project, while the other 50% is held by local interest groups in Siberia.

Now that Kashiev is giving away another 20% of the shares to An Wuyang, it means that CLC Group will only have a 30% stake in the Siberian Cloud Fire Vine project.

Vasily felt as if he had worked hard to do something, only to be betrayed in the blink of an eye, so his expression was somewhat unnatural.

However, An Wuyang wasn't paying attention to Vasily; he was reminding Kashev, "Mr. Petrov, aren't you going to look at the Christmas presents I prepared for you?" To be honest, An Wuyang was starting to admire Kashev a little!

Because when Kashev was preparing Christmas gifts for himself and Anna, he didn't know what gifts An Wuyang had prepared, but he still placed a heavy bet on the Christmas gifts as a reason.

More importantly, Kashev did not disclose the equity structure of the Siberian Cloud Firevine project, which can be considered a subtle tactic by Kashev.

Kashiev had long been curious about what Christmas gift An Wuyang had prepared, but he hadn't opened it before out of politeness.

Now that An Wuyang has reminded him, Kashiev naturally wants to open it and take a look.

After Kashiev opened the document bag, he took out the documents inside, which included import and export customs documents, tariff certificates, commodity information, and bills of lading, etc.

The product information document clearly states the corresponding information: a full 80 bottles of comfort pills!
this.
Kashev was stunned!
With a smile, An Wuyang said, "Mr. Petrov, don't you like this Christmas present?"

Kashiev immediately denied it, "No, I just feel that this Christmas gift is too precious, and for a moment I don't know whether I should accept it."

A total of 80 bottles of comfort pills, even if we calculate the price at just $200 per bottle, that's a whopping $1.6 million!
An Wuyang replied with a smile, "We are simply giving you this month's quota in advance. This quota will still be handled according to our previous cooperation plan. What do you think, Mr. Petrov?"

When An Wuyang made it clear that it wasn't a free gift, Kashiev breathed a sigh of relief.

Honestly, if An Wuyang were to be given away for free, Kashev wouldn't dare accept it!
“No problem!” Kashev replied confidently.

Based on the original cooperation plan, wouldn't the CLC Group have made a fortune?

After all, CLC Group only needs to pay $60 per bottle for Shuxin Pills from Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group. In any case, their profit margin can exceed 200%.

In fact, Kashiev knew very well what An Wuyang's Christmas gift was.

On the surface, it seems that An Wuyang did not give a Christmas present?

According to past practice, this batch of 80 bottles of Shuxin Pills was originally part of CLC Group's quota, so how could it be considered a Christmas gift from CLC Group?

However, in reality, this was a Christmas gift!
The most valuable aspect of this Christmas gift is its 'time value'!
Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group was expected to allocate the quota for Shuxin Pills around the 20th, but now that CLC Group has obtained the Shuxin Pills ahead of schedule, it means that CLC Group can sell Shuxin Pills ahead of schedule.

There are currently no other competitors on the market, and the quota for Shuxinwan is very limited, so the price will be higher.

After all, things are valued for their scarcity.

This is the Christmas gift given by An Wuyang; he converted time into corresponding economic value.

Kashev was a smart man; he understood the true value of An Wuyang's Christmas gift, so he didn't mind that An Wuyang was simply distributing the quota ahead of schedule as a Christmas present.

After exchanging Christmas gifts, the atmosphere became even more harmonious.

An Wuyang took the initiative to bring up the story of Kashiev keeping brown bears as pets in his hometown in Siberia.

Kashiev immediately extended an invitation, suggesting that An Wuyang go to Siberia for a summer retreat and experience riding a Siberian brown bear.

An Wuyang asked curiously, "Can Siberian brown bears really be tamed?"

Kashiev responded, "Based on our own experience raising bears, as long as we ensure that the brown bears are not starved and are raised from cubs, there is basically no danger."

An Wuyang immediately understood, just like a tiger or panda raised in a zoo from a young age, right?

Although animal instincts may still exist in special circumstances, the situation is relatively safe in most cases.

“Andy, when you experience riding the bear, we will have security personnel monitoring your safety at all times. If the brown bear makes any dangerous moves, the security personnel will stop it,” Kashiev added.

As for how to stop it
How about Kalashnikov's assistant number 47?
"I heard that your Northern Bear Kingdom can also raise lynxes and even cheetahs, is that right?" An Wuyang asked.

Kashiev denied this, saying, "Currently, the laws are becoming increasingly strict, and these wild animals are basically no longer allowed to be privately kept. However, if Andy is interested, we can apply to establish a private zoo in Siberia."

An Wuyang sighed inwardly, thinking that Kashiev was still no match for Qin Sheng!
If it were Qin Sheng, he wouldn't even ask An Wuyang if she was interested. Instead, he would directly say that he wanted to build a private zoo and then ask An Wuyang what kind of animals she wanted to feed.

An Wuyang feigned hesitation, "Wouldn't that be too much trouble?"

“Of course it’s no trouble!” Kashiev finally understood An Wuyang’s subtext and gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.

Whether it's complicated to run a private zoo depends on whether you have the money.

If you have the money, what's so difficult about running a mere private zoo?
Not only is it not troublesome, it can also solve some of the problems of animal rescue and employment.

But if you don't have money, then it will be extremely difficult!

“Andy, what kind of animal do you want to tame? We’ll arrange it in Siberia,” Kashev asked.

Seeing that Kashiev was finally getting the hang of things, An Wuyang stopped being polite and directly ordered, "Get two Siberian tigers, a few lynxes, and some Siberian brown bears."

"Also, if there are snow leopards, we can keep two," An Wuyang added.

“Make the site bigger so that the animals have a better living environment,” An Wuyang added.

An Wuyang has loved pets since he was a child, and now that he has the opportunity to raise all kinds of large pets, he certainly won't let such an opportunity pass him by!
Kashiev immediately agreed, "No problem, we'll handle it."

"Your CLC Group will cover the related expenses on behalf of Wu Gengtian for now, and then send the bills to Wu Gengtian later." An Wuyang feigned politeness, taking the opportunity to test compliance.
