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

Chapter 683 WPG Annual Meeting Begins: Looking Back and Looking Forward, Listen to the Applause! Lottery or Clumsy?

Around 6 p.m.

An Airbus H-255 helicopter landed at the headquarters of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group. Xia Yuqing, Lu Manman, and three other dance students got off the plane, while their security personnel carried the blood oranges they had picked.

An Wuyang went up to check the corresponding blood orange and confirmed that it was indeed Tarocco No. 8.

Because the Tarocco No. 8 fruit is larger and has a brighter red peel, and An Wuyang eats his own blood oranges every year, how could he not recognize it?
"Aren't our blood oranges delicious?" An Wuyang asked with pride.

Xia Yuqing answered affirmatively, "Delicious! It's sweet with a blood orange flavor, and the flesh is very delicate with almost no pulp. I think it tastes even better than last month's batch."

An Wuyang had taken Xia Yuqing to pick blood oranges before, which is why Xia Yuqing took her best friends to pick blood oranges.

Lu Manman seconded, "I've never eaten such delicious blood oranges before."

Wenxin chimed in, "President An, I noticed that your blood orange orchard is quite small. Haven't you considered expanding the planting area for blood oranges?"

Wenxin added affirmatively, "Given the quality of your blood oranges, if you expand your planting area, you'll definitely make money!"

Faced with Wen Xin's words, An Wuyang and Xia Yuqing exchanged a knowing glance, and then both burst into laughter.

Wen Xin was completely bewildered by the laughter. She looked at Zong Chunyan and asked, "Chunyan, did I say something wrong?"

In fact, Zong Chunyan had a similar thought to Wen Xin. The blood oranges from Tianjingyan were indeed very delicious, and more importantly, their quality was consistent. They had tasted several blood oranges at Tianjingyan before, and each one was very delicious.

If the planting area of ​​blood oranges of this quality were expanded, they would definitely sell well and make money. So Wenxin doesn't seem to be wrong, right?
In fact, Xia Yuqing had also expressed this idea before.

Xia Yuqing had asked An Wuyang almost the same question back then, so when Wen Xin brought it up again, An Wuyang and Xia Yuqing couldn't help but smile.

An Wuyang even chuckled to himself, wondering if all these dance students had the same thought process.

Xia Yuqing explained, "I said the same thing before. Brother Wuyang told me that Tianjingyan is a medicinal herb planting base. The same area of ​​land can actually create higher economic value by planting medicinal herbs."

“They grow blood oranges in Tianjingyan simply because they like to eat them, not to make money,” Xia Yuqing added.

Wenxin suddenly realized!
Yes, yes!

Tianjingyan is a medicinal herb planting base, and a very high-quality one at that. If it's just for making money, why not plant medicinal herbs?
Growing blood oranges?
Waste of resources!

An Wuyang had dinner with four dance students, and then explained that the annual meeting would begin at 2 p.m. the next day.

……

The next day, noon.

International Convention and Exhibition Center, Banquet Hall.

Apart from security personnel, a total of 1008 employees arrived at the Tianjingyan medicinal herb planting base in advance in more than 20 buses and had a buffet lunch arranged by the headquarters staff.

As it approached 2 p.m., more and more people arrived at the banquet hall, including staff from the Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group headquarters, the new factory area, the old factory area, and the R&D center.

Today, more than 1,500 people attended the Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group Annual Meeting in person, while even more people participated online.

After all, Wugengtian also has wholly-owned subsidiaries and joint venture subsidiaries, but these subsidiaries are not located in Shengqing, so their employees can only participate in Wugengtian's annual meeting online.

For example, there's the wholly-owned subsidiary, Carbon-Based Transformation Technology Co., Ltd., located in Beijing; the joint venture subsidiary, Hongyuan Pharmaceutical R&D Co., Ltd.; and New Origin Life Science Co., Ltd.

There is also a joint venture subsidiary in Tianfu called [Ruizhi Pharmaceutical R&D Company].

In addition, the Yunhuoteng project, located in the Siberian region, also received a similar notification, indicating that they could participate online in the Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group's annual meeting livestream.

Previously, CLC Group gifted 20% of the equity of the Siberian Cloud Fire Vine project to An Wuyang. Even though Wugengtian had no management rights, An Wuyang still allowed the project's employees to participate in Wugengtian's online annual meeting.

In the banquet hall of the International Convention and Exhibition Center, attendees of the annual meeting began to take their seats.

The seating arrangement at the annual meeting is naturally important!

For example, the head seat in the first row is naturally occupied by Hou Qingyun, the first supervisor of Shengqing. To his left is Li Hongyi, the second supervisor of Shengqing, and to his right is Sha Jinzhong, the third supervisor of Shengqing.

With the growth and expansion of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group, coupled with An Wuyang's willingness to share profits and attract a large number of interest groups, the three giants of Shengqing naturally joined forces to participate in Wugengtian's annual meeting.

Moreover, relevant interest groups arranged for personnel to participate, including those from the Beijing entertainment circle.

The actual leaders of the five major distributors in Xia Kingdom couldn't even sit in the front row; they were in the second row.
Even those in the second row weren't in the central area!

As for the four dance students, An Wuyang arranged for them to sit in the corner of the third row, giving them a relatively quiet environment, since they didn't like socializing.

The fourth and fifth rows were reserved for suppliers. The suppliers were so anxious that they couldn't wait for the supplier conference and instead attended the annual meeting at dawn.

Even though Wu Gengtian never defaulted on payments, it was precisely because Wu Gengtian never defaulted on payments that suppliers were more proactive!

These days, who wouldn't like a boss who doesn't delay payments?

The heads of these suppliers are determined to have a drink with An Wuyang today!
Starting from the sixth row, the employees of Wugengtian are the ones, but even among the employees, there are different allocation schemes for their positions.

Middle management and R&D departments, as well as senior employees, are definitely at the forefront.

As for using seating arrangements to divide people into high and low, noble and base...
An Wuyang didn't want to discuss this issue. If they continued, An Wuyang would only be able to shout the slogan: "Everyone is equal!"
It was exactly 2 PM.

An Wuyang, dressed in a neat and well-fitting gray suit, took to the stage and greeted everyone with a microphone in hand, "Hello everyone, welcome to our Mayday Annual Meeting!"

"I am An Wuyang, and I am very happy to see you all here today!" An Wuyang introduced himself first, even though everyone in the audience knew him, but introducing himself was a humble attitude.

"As everyone knows, our annual meeting at dawn is very simple, consisting of only three steps," An Wuyang explained.

“First, let’s look back on the past and look forward to the future,” An Wuyang began, stating the first step.

"Looking back on 2021, in the first half of the year, Wugengtian was in trouble, especially after failing to win the fifth batch of centralized procurement, we were in a state of loss." An Wuyang briefly reviewed the past.

"But in the second half of the year, thanks to our long-term and continuous investment in scientific research, we finally reaped the rewards and developed the [Snow-like Skin Series] products, which enabled Wugengtian to turn a profit!" An Wuyang added.

"Finally, I hope that in 2022, Wugengtian can make further progress, achieve more research and development results in the new year, and continue to develop steadily with everyone's support!" An Wuyang looked to the future. His words were very polite, indicating that he needed everyone's support while also pointing out the need for steady development, which shows that Wugengtian will maintain its current development model in the new year.

In short, all the rules of Wugengtian remain unchanged, and Wugengtian is still willing to share the benefits, with everyone eating meat and drinking soup together!
As soon as An Wuyang finished speaking, he asked jokingly, "What are you waiting for? Shouldn't you be giving me a round of applause?"

An Wuyang's witty remark was met with thunderous applause, especially from the representatives of the twelve distributors and various suppliers, who clapped enthusiastically.

An Wuyang's summary just now has already given both sides the best promise!

Wugengtian needs everyone's support, which means that suppliers and distributors are all core partners of Wugengtian.

"The applause was very loud. To thank everyone for their applause, we at Wugengtian have given each of our guests a gift bag, which includes a whitening suit!" An Wuyang presented the first annual meeting gift.

"Also, to all the brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, and grandmothers watching the annual meeting live stream, although you are not here in person, we at Wugengtian still remember your contributions. Therefore, every employee under Wugengtian will receive a [Salvation Code]," An Wuyang added in his announcement.

Behind An Wuyang, the large LED screen displays information about employees of some subsidiaries in other locations.

There are scenes of employees at a carbon-based transformative technology company working overtime day and night;
The project team is working diligently in the laboratory;
There are patrol records of security personnel at the Tianjingyan medicinal herb planting base;

Local employees of the pine cone forest farm are seen clearing land and digging soil.

There are clips of the Extreme Speed ​​Future team arguing heatedly;
……

The images were eventually merged together, then the logo of "Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group" was added, along with the friendly slogan: We are all one family!

The Yunhuoteng project team members, far away in Siberia, were also watching the live broadcast of the annual meeting at dawn. Their time zone was similar to that of Shengqing, only one hour behind.

It's 2 PM in Shengqing, and 1 PM here.

When An Wuyang announced that all employees under Wugengtian had a [Salvation Code], one of the Northern Bears checked the translated information in the subtitles and asked, "Are we also considered employees under Wugengtian?"

"I don't think so?" another person from the Northern Bear Kingdom responded.

“Although Wugengtian has shares in our project, Wugengtian doesn’t seem to be involved in management,” the Beixiong Guoren added in his reply.

However, the next moment, a young man from the Northern Bear Kingdom gave the correct answer.

"Don't you guys check your emails?" the young North Bear citizen asked.

"At dawn, we were invited to watch the annual meeting live stream, and it was also stated that we were included in the annual meeting benefits system. In short, all 126 people in our project will receive the Chinese New Year bonus from this CEO," the young man from the Northern Bear Kingdom explained.

"As far as I know, that so-called 'World Savior Code' is worth about five thousand Xia Kingdom Yuan, which is roughly equivalent to about 780 US dollars," the young man from the Northern Bear Kingdom added, explaining the value.

As for why the "Jishi Code" is translated as the "World Savior Code," that's probably a translation issue.

Why would this young man from the Northern Bear Kingdom use the Xia Kingdom Yuan and the US Dollar to measure the value of the Jishi Code? Those who know, know!

After all, the value of the ruble in the Northern Bear Country is currently fluctuating too much, and there is a serious difference between the official listed price and the black market listed price.

"Huh? Is it really worth that much?" A slightly older middle-aged man from the White Bear Kingdom exclaimed in surprise, because his monthly salary was less than five thousand Xia Kingdom Yuan.

“You can see for yourselves the emails sent at dawn; they contain detailed information, even outlining how to monetize them,” the young North Bear citizen responded.

Yes!

The email sent by employees of the Siberian Cloudfire Vine project at dawn contained relevant information; however, some people received the email while others did not.

Not everyone submitted their email address, but it doesn't matter if someone doesn't receive the email, as they will be contacted by phone later to explain.

At the same time, when Anwuyang announced that all its employees had the Jishi Code, employees of Wugengtian's subsidiaries in Beijing and Chengdu cheered.

The company's annual meeting at dawn really does give out awards!
"Next up is the lucky draw. We have six prizes today: a participation prize, a lucky draw prize, and then third prize to grand prize," An Wuyang explained.

"Look at the big screen for the corresponding prizes!" The LED screen behind An Wuyang displayed the prize information and the specific number of winners.

……

Participation prizes: 50 catties of rice, 2 x 5 L bottles of peanut oil, and 800 RMB in cash;
Lucky Draw: 188 winners: 18,888 yuan in cash

Third Prize: 33 winners: 38,888 yuan in cash

Second Prize: 22 winners: 58,888 yuan in cash

First Prize: 11 winners: 88,888 yuan in cash

Grand Prize: 3 winners: 188,888 yuan in cash

Note: All prizes and bonuses are after-tax amounts, and Wugengtian will bear all tax expenses;
……

For example, if a senior executive of Wugengtian wins the grand prize of 188,888 yuan in cash, Wugengtian will also have to pay personal income tax of up to 45%.

Whether winning a prize at an annual meeting is subject to personal income tax or unexpected income tax is actually very clearly stipulated!

If an employee of Wugengtian wins a lottery, that falls under the category of personal income tax.

However, if one of the top five distributors in Xia Country, the top seven overseas distributors, or other guests at the event wins the prize, then it is considered an unexpected income tax.

However, the annual meeting held at dawn did not include a raffle for the guests.

This rule is mainly to avoid any appearance of impropriety!

If the top manager of Shengqing wins the grand prize, will there be any special interpretations?

If you want to give a gift at dawn, there are so many ways to do it. There's absolutely no need to use such a clumsy method as winning a prize in such a public setting!

There are actually many rules and regulations governing gift-giving.

Sometimes, if you give a gift poorly, you might offend someone instead!
