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

Chapter 669 WPG: What kind of person is considered intelligent? President An's definition! A blessing from someone with high emotional intelligence!
Looking back at An Wuyang's journey after taking control of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group, when did he ever bow to public opinion storms or moral blackmail?
Not even once!
He never bowed his head during the previous public opinion storms and moral blackmail, so how could he possibly compromise and agree to the other party just for a live broadcast connection?

Even a joke doesn't have to go this far!

Faced with An Wuyang's firm rejection, Yi Lu Xiangbei was losing his temper and raised his voice in response, "President An, do I really have no chance at all?"

"Of course there's no chance!" An Wuyang replied directly in denial.

"Alright, our live stream is over." An Wuyang didn't want to waste any more words with the other party.

This netizen, who considered himself a smart person, was actually considered utterly foolish by An Wuyang.

Even if the other party has taken so-called high-cognitive courses, their learning ability is obviously very poor. They have only learned "what" but not "why".

After the live stream ended, An Wuyang glanced at the situation in the live stream room again. The number of people watching online had exceeded 30,000, which was a rather alarming number.

However, An Wuyang knew that most people weren't there to watch the live stream; they were just there for the prize draw.

We've already given out five slots for the Jishi Code and fifty slots for purchasing Shuxin Pills.

A single "Jishi Code" costs at least 5,000 yuan, and a purchase quota for a "Shuxin Pill" can be sold slowly and patiently for over 1,000 yuan.

In addition, since it's a free lottery, Xiao Qingyue's live stream currently has a large number of viewers.

"We'll have one last live chat with another netizen, and then we'll send out a lucky draw bag, giving away five Jishi codes and fifty Shuxin pills," An Wuyang explained.

"Everyone, please send some comments. I'll see if there are any topics that interest me. If so, we can chat via voice chat," An Wuyang instructed the audience to send comments.

Because the number of bullet comments is also a factor in the reward weighting of the latest triggered random event, An Wuyang guided the audience to send bullet comment information.

In addition, An Wuyang is indeed selecting topics for the bullet comments.

As An Wuyang finished speaking, the live stream chat was flooded with comments, with many people spamming the chat to try and connect with him.

An Wuyang randomly checked the comments, mainly because there were too many comments. After all, there were more than 30,000 viewers in the live stream, and there were at least several thousand comments every second. An Wuyang certainly couldn't check them one by one.

About half a minute later, An Wuyang saw a barrage of comments that kept appearing.

……

"Mr. An, what kind of person can be considered intelligent?"

……

This question can be considered an extension of the topic raised by the netizen "All the Way North". After a little consideration, An Wuyang chose the netizen "Zhao Yong" who raised this question.

An Wuyang connected with the other party via voice call and spoke first, "Hello, Brother Zhao Yong, is this your real name?"

"Yes, Mr. An, my name is Zhao Yong, that's my real name," Zhao Yong replied affirmatively.

"So your question is, what kind of person is considered intelligent?" An Wuyang cut to the chase.

"That's right, Mr. An. Because I don't think I'm a smart person, I even think I'm quite stupid, so I want to know what kind of person can be considered smart," Zhao Yong said a little embarrassed.

As usual, An Wuyang first inquired about his education and work to establish a preliminary personal profile.

Faced with An Wuyang's question, Zhao Yong became even more embarrassed, but still answered truthfully, "Regarding education, I didn't even finish high school. My current job is a repairman, mainly repairing air conditioners, refrigerators, and other home appliances."

“My education and job are both relatively poor, so I don’t mind if people want to laugh at me,” Zhao Yong added.

An Wuyang responded, "No job is inherently superior or inferior. You earn money through your own labor, so why should anyone laugh at you?"

“But I don’t earn much money,” Zhao Yong replied.

“How much money you make has never been the sole measure of success, even though some people do like to use making money as the only measure of success,” An Wuyang explained.

"Of course, some viewers might think I'm talking without understanding the situation, after all, we make a lot of money working from dawn till dusk," An Wuyang joked.

“But that doesn’t prevent me from having the above thoughts,” An Wuyang replied earnestly.

Because the above idea is An Wuyang's most basic idea.

For example, some crooked ways of making money may be easy and can generate a lot of income, but is that success?
“Now that we all know the basic situation of Brother Zhao Yong, in my opinion, Brother Zhao Yong is a smart man,” An Wuyang concluded.

Zhao Yong asked in confusion, "Am I considered a smart person?"

"Why doesn't that count?" An Wuyang retorted.

“But I think I’m stupid, not smart at all.” Zhao Yong still expressed his feeling that he was stupid.

An Wuyang could tell that the other person was being sincere, not just being deliberately modest.

"What I'm about to say can be compared and contrasted with the conversation between the previous livestream participant and other viewers," An Wuyang explained.

“In current business practices, people are mainly divided into three categories,” An Wuyang began to explain.

“Let’s take our Five Watches of the Night as an example again. In our Five Watches of the Night, everyone is divided into three categories.” An Wuyang still used Five Watches of the Night as a real example.

“The three categories of people are: workers, technicians and managers, and business owners,” An Wuyang explained.

"Among them, the working class makes up the largest number of people in our early morning hours, and this is also the final choice for most ordinary people," An Wuyang added.

Zhao Yong replied, "I'm just a working-class person."

“Yes.” An Wuyang responded affirmatively.

"Secondly, there's the technology and management level. Technology experts, through their stronger learning and research capabilities, have earned higher compensation," An Wuyang explained.

“The situation with the management is much more complicated. As we mentioned before, there are always younger brothers around the eldest brother. This situation also exists in Wugengtian, after all, Wugengtian is a family business,” An Wuyang explained.

“The current head of the Five-Hour Management team, Mr. Tang, was my father’s chief secretary and served him for nearly twenty years,” An Wuyang said, describing Tang Wenshu’s background. “Now, let’s switch roles. If you were me, would you use Mr. Tang, or would you hire someone from outside to come in as a senior manager?” An Wuyang asked.

How can newly appointed senior management gain the respect of the people?
Just knowing how to balance and manage interpersonal relationships requires a lot of ability!
Furthermore, how to gain the boss's trust when recruiting externally is also a huge problem.

“In fact, even when recruiting externally, applicants need to have sufficient experience, such as having served in the management of a large company, having completed certain projects, and having rich management experience, in order to have a chance of being hired,” An Wuyang added.

The idea that someone like the netizen "Heading North" could climb to the top overnight by clinging to a powerful figure is simply impossible to realize.
The chances of climbing the social ladder by clinging to a powerful figure are extremely low!

"The last category is business owners. Many people think that being a business owner is better because business owners can earn more money, but have you ever considered that business owners are responsible for their own profits and losses?" An Wuyang reminded them.

"What if we lose money?" An Wuyang asked in return.

“Workers have wages, and technical experts and managers also have annual salaries and bonuses. Only business owners need to bear their own profits and losses. If they make money, of course everyone is happy, but what if they lose money?” An Wuyang put forward a hypothetical question.

"Now that everyone understands the situation of the three types of people, let's talk about what a smart person is." After explaining the prerequisites, An Wuyang brought the topic back on track.

"The reason I say Brother Zhao Yong is a smart man is that he understands his own position. He is a worker, so he does his job conscientiously," An Wuyang explained.

When this point was mentioned, the number of comments increased again.

A large number of comments on the screen accused An Wuyang of using PUA and dog training, criticizing him for taking a capitalist's perspective to discipline his employees and prevent them from having a more imaginative future.

Some viewers even commented that An Wuyang's intention was for working-class people to simply remain working-class and serve capitalists for their entire lives.

Like a donkey pulling a millstone, it should diligently pull the millstone, and its descendants should do the same.

An Wuyang saw these comments on the screen. Instead of pretending not to see them, he responded directly, saying, "I saw everyone's comments. I can understand your reasoning."

“But as I just said, you’ve overlooked the fact that business owners need to be responsible for their own profits and losses,” An Wuyang reminded him again.

“Take Brother Zhao Yong as an example. Brother Zhao Yong, would you be willing to start your own business, such as opening a repair shop or something?” An Wuyang asked.

Zhao Yong refused, replying, "I'm not willing!"

"Why?" An Wuyang asked again.

“Being a boss is tiring, and I know that bosses don’t earn much, but they have a lot of worries,” Zhao Yong replied.

Zhao Yong continued, “Two years ago, one of our coworkers fell because of a violation of operating procedures. The boss paid him 300,000 yuan in compensation, which basically meant he had worked for nothing for a year.”

“But what does this have to do with the boss? The boss took us to see the site afterwards, and it was clearly a worker who violated regulations when setting up the safety rope,” Zhao Yong added.

"If I were the boss, given my personality, I would probably explode on the spot if something like this happened, and I definitely wouldn't offer any compensation," Zhao Yong sighed.

"I can't be a boss with a personality like mine," Zhao Yong stated once again.

An Wuyang picked up the topic, "You guys in the comments think I'm disciplining the working class from the perspective of a capitalist, but what I want to say is that some of you have a wrong underlying logic."

“Many people are too naive. They want to get rid of the status of a wage earner and make a lot of money, but they also want no risks and for things to go smoothly. Some even think they are very smart after watching and learning a little bit of cognitive courses,” An Wuyang sighed.

"Don't you guys think this is ridiculous? No risk, making money smoothly, and you think you can have such a good deal?" An Wuyang retorted.

"I don't even dare to think about it!" An Wuyang sighed deeply.

Yes!

An Wuyang didn't even dare to think about it!

Even with the Happy Life System, isn't An Wuyang still walking on thin ice when managing and operating it in the early hours of the morning?
Look at An Wuyang's sales strategy. Doesn't it give away the vast majority of profits, leaving him with only the portion that belongs to Wugengtian?
This is still with An Wuyang having a cheat code!
How did a group of guys with no cheat codes, no resources, no foundation, and not even any awareness manage to imagine that they could succeed out of thin air?
"So now you all know why I said Brother Zhao Yong is actually very smart, right?" An Wuyang asked.

"Because after Zhao Yong realized that he couldn't become a business owner, he chose to work diligently instead of complaining," An Wuyang answered himself.

“I think this kind of person is indeed very smart, smarter than those so-called smart people. After all, those so-called smart people are just being clever for their own good,” An Wuyang concluded.

After listening to An Wuyang's comments, Zhao Yong couldn't help but say happily, "Thank you for the praise, President An. I'm very happy. This is the first time I've heard someone praise me."

“You’re welcome, brother. I’m just telling the truth. I consider you a smart person, not the kind of idiot who thinks he’s smart but can’t do anything but complain,” An Wuyang said confidently.

"Haha, thank you, President An!" Zhao Yong laughed heartily again in gratitude.

"Mr. An, I've been screen recording. Can I post this recording on my own short video account?" Zhao Yong asked.

“Of course, our conversation is public. You can publish my comments, as well as the content and videos of our live stream,” An Wuyang agreed.

"Thank you again, President An. I won't bother you any longer. I will remember your words for the rest of my life," Zhao Yong said sincerely.

"Brother, you're too kind. I wish you all the best in the future," An Wuyang said.

"I also wish President An good health," Zhao Yong responded with his well wishes.

An Wuyang was about to hang up the call, but upon hearing Zhao Yong's blessing, he couldn't help but speak again, "Brothers, did you understand Brother Zhao Yong's blessing?"

The screen was immediately filled with question marks. Was there anything special about Zhao Yong's blessing?
"Brother Zhao Yong, do you still dare to say you're not a smart person?" An Wuyang teased.

“Tell me yourself, why did you wish me good health?” An Wuyang gestured for Zhao Yong to explain.

Zhao Yong responded simply, "Because President An became the boss of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group at such a young age, President An is already very accomplished and successful. The only thing President An lacks is good health, so I wish President An good health."

"Listen carefully, everyone. With this kind of emotional intelligence, how dare you say you're not smart?" An Wuyang laughed heartily.

The audience also exclaimed in surprise, and displayed various shocked expressions.

Zhao Yong may not have the traditional sense of intelligence, but when it comes to emotional intelligence, how can you say he is not smart?

After all, to be honest, the simple blessing from the other party is the answer that many people can't understand even after a lifetime!
