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

Chapter 695: Mrs. WPG's Social Life, New City Construction Plan and a Million-Dollar 'High Housing Price', Three Generations of Employees

Tianjingyan Medicinal Herb Planting Base.

The Airbus H-225 landed on the tarmac, and An Wuyang and his entourage disembarked from the cabin.

An Shicang was already waiting beside the tarmac. He greeted him respectfully, "Hello, Mr. An."

An Wuyang nodded slightly in response, "Uncle."

An Wuyang then introduced the two sides to each other, and the group headed to the restaurant under the guidance of An Wuyang and An Shicang.

While on the road, An Wuyang dialed Xia Yuqing's number.

A moment later, Xia Yuqing answered the phone, and An Wuyang spoke first, "Baby, I've arrived at Tianjingyan. Did you catch any fish?"

"Huh?" Xia Yuqing hesitated for a moment. "Why are you here?"

An Wuyang teased, "You wouldn't happen to be in the Air Force, would you?"

"Does your fishpond really have fish?" Xia Yuqing asked back.

An Wuyang was speechless. How could their reservoir not have fish?
Their reservoir not only has fish, but all of them are relatively rare freshwater fish, including mandarin fish, perch, topmouth culter, and whitebait.

So Xia Yuqing is really an air force pilot?

"Baby, come back and eat first. You'll have more energy to go fishing later, and then you can try harder this afternoon." An Wuyang called for Xia Yuqing to come back first, but he couldn't hide the smile in his voice!
Dead mouth!

Don't laugh!
Xia Yuqing responded with a soft snort, "Alright, I'll be back now. I'll make you some ginseng stewed chicken for lunch to nourish you up."

What words?

What is this nonsense?

An Wuyang almost blushed!

Inside the restaurant at the Tianjingyan medicinal herb planting base, An Shicang introduced the local specialties to everyone, including cured pork trotters, cured pork ribs, and firewood-cooked chicken.

An Wuyang said in a serious tone, "Let's make some ginseng stewed chicken, so we can all have a good nourishing meal!"

Li Shiyu immediately chimed in, "Alright, alright, the ginseng from your Tianjingyan forest is incredibly nourishing, let's all get some today."

Hou Yuanxin sighed and said, "I really need to take good care of myself!"

Hou Yuanxin's wife, Pei Yunqian, punched his arm, looking a little embarrassed.

Everyone burst into laughter.

About fifteen minutes later, Xia Yuqing arrived at the restaurant in her UTV. She rushed into the restaurant only to find that there were other people inside, which made her feel a little shy.

"Brother Wuyang," Xia Yuqing called out softly.

An Wuyang introduced everyone's identities to Xia Yuqing, "Baby, let me introduce you."

Xia Yuqing had met Li Shiyu and Zhu Guanghao, but not Hou Yuanxin and Sha Yantao, nor their wives. After An Wuyang's introduction, everyone greeted each other.

Xia Yuqing then obediently sat down next to An Wuyang.

An Wuyang casually asked Xia Yuqing, "Was your luck bad this morning?"

Xia Yuqing responded affirmatively, "Yeah! Maybe it was because the weather was a bit muggy this morning, so I didn't catch a single fish."

This reason is exactly like how President An sometimes makes excuses!
Sha Yantao's wife, Mu Caiyun, asked curiously, "President An, is fishing allowed here at Tianjingyan?"

Sha Yantao chimed in, "My wife also likes fishing."

An Wuyang replied with a smile, "We dug a reservoir here, at the end of Shilong Creek, with a water area of ​​about ten acres. If you want to go fishing, you can go together this afternoon."

Mu Caiyun responded affirmatively, "Then I'll trouble you this afternoon, Yuqing. I'm itching to go fishing too."

Xia Yuqing readily agreed, "Okay, Sister Caiyun, let's go together this afternoon."

Pei Yunqian chimed in, "I want to go too. Can you teach me how to fish?"

"Of course!" Xia Yuqing replied affirmatively.

Xia Yuqing was well aware that the two of them had gotten involved in fishing in order to engage in 'ladies' socializing,' but wasn't Xia Yuqing also engaging in 'ladies' socializing' in the same way?

After Xia Yuqing and An Wuyang got together, she had already learned similar social skills, among which social interaction among wives is very common in high circles.

At noon.

A sumptuous feast was served one by one, and whether it was cured pork trotters, cured pork ribs, or ginseng stewed chicken, all of them won praise.

After lunch, everyone went fishing at the reservoir with Xia Yuqing.

However, only Xia Yuqing and Mu Caiyun were fishing seriously, while An Wuyang led Li Shiyu and Hou Yuanxin for a walk along the Shilongxi River.

"This river is Shilongxi, which flows westward for about 20 kilometers before joining the Hehua River," An Wuyang explained simply.

"Look at this water quality, doesn't it seem pretty good?" An Wuyang asked.

Hou Yuanxin looked at it carefully. The water quality of Shilongxi was indeed very good, with a clear and bright feel, and the ecological environment was well maintained.

After all, it's a rural area, so there's almost no pollution problem.

An Wuyang explained, "I plan to build a comprehensive complex north of Shilongxi, integrating hospitals, scientific research, and recuperation facilities."

"At that time, our first hospital under the Wugengtian brand will be built here, along with some riverside villas and apartments for recuperation purposes," An Wuyang added.

"In addition, south of Shilongxi, we plan to build a new urban area. This new urban area will mainly be used to accommodate the staff of the future medical building complex, including medical staff, researchers, and some of our young employees under Wugengtian," An Wuyang continued.

Currently, the housing in Tianjing Town is actually quite crowded, with many families having three generations living together, resulting in a poor living experience.

Because under normal circumstances, young people in small towns should go out to work, not stay in their hometowns.

However, because of the Tianjingyan medicinal herb planting base, many young people in Tianjing Town have stayed in their hometown.

Some of them work at the medicinal herb planting base, while others provide services to the base, whether it's catering, retail, or other daily services.

Given the larger number of young people, the per capita living space is very low.

More importantly, young people prefer a better living environment, so there is indeed a need to develop new urban areas.

Even if the new urban area is more residential, other life service scenarios and commercial consumption scenarios will still remain in the old town of Tianjing Town, which doesn't matter.

"According to preliminary estimates, the housing shortage in the new urban area of ​​Tianjing Town may exceed two thousand units. Assuming that the price of a house is 100 million, the total sales revenue could reach 20 billion!" An Wuyang began to paint a rosy picture.

However, Hou Yuanxin raised a question.

"Mr. An, considering the location of Tianjing Town, isn't a price of one million for a house a bit too high?" Hou Yuanxin expressed his doubts. Although housing prices in big cities are very high now, this is Tianjing Town, and even with its medicinal herb base operating day and night, it's still just an unknown little town!

Why should a house cost one million?

In fact, most houses in the center of a county town cost less than one million!

Even in a city like Shengqing, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the central government, there are still a large number of houses in its main urban area, some even three-bedroom apartments, that don't cost a million.

Hou Yuanxin couldn't understand where An Wuyang got his confidence from, that he could sell houses for 1 million yuan in a small place like Tianjingyan, and even sell 2,000 units.
Sha Yantao echoed, "President An, isn't a price of one million too high?"

"After all, even the housing prices in the central urban area of ​​Shuijin District, which is one level above Tianjing Town, don't reach this price," Sha Yantao added.

He had researched the housing prices in the Shuijin District beforehand, so he also thought that a price of one million was too high!
Li Shiyu and Zhu Guanghao remained silent. They were unfamiliar with the real estate market, and although they also felt that a price of one million was indeed a bit expensive, they trusted An Wuyang more.

An Wuyang didn't answer their question about housing prices. He continued, "Brother Yuanxin, Brother Yantao, how much money do you think we can make from the new urban area project?"

Hou Yuanxin and Sha Yantao exchanged a glance, wondering where An Wuyang got the confidence to make money.

But since An Wuyang had asked, Sha Yantao decided to give him a proper answer.

"If we take into account the average selling price of one million and the sales volume of two thousand units, a net profit of ten percent would be excellent!" Sha Yantao gave a relatively conservative answer.

If the net profit is 10%, that means you've earned 200 million!
Two hundred million might not seem like much to Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group, but to Sha Yantao, it was a huge sum of money.

Hou Yuanxin seconded, "If we can achieve a net profit of 10%, that would be quite good. If the net profit margin can reach 15% or more, that would be even better."

Hou Yuanxin added, "However, the only problem is that if the corresponding price is too high, there is a possibility of slow sales."

An Wuyang responded, "So we need to focus on the housing!"

“First of all, we will not build high-rise buildings. We will build garden villas, all of them five stories high, with two households per floor,” An Wuyang explained.

"Secondly, we directly develop fully furnished apartments. We provide complete decoration services, including appliance installation, and even offer optional soft furnishing options, so you can move in with just your bags," An Wuyang added.

"Finally, we provide comprehensive warranty services, as well as corresponding property services," An Wuyang added.

“These measures can further enhance its attractiveness,” An Wuyang added.

However, both Hou Yuanxin and Sha Yantao remained silent, acknowledging that while these measures did increase the attractiveness of the properties, they failed to address the core issues.

Tianjing Town is too remote, and the housing prices are so high. Is it really acceptable?

An Wuyang guessed what the two were thinking, and he didn't explain further. Instead, he led everyone back to the Tianjingyan medicinal herb planting base.

The group arrived at a peony planting area, where several young people were collecting soil and taking photos with their mobile phones and tablets.

An Wuyang called out, "Zhou Daoming!"

A boy wearing glasses looked over at the sound, and when he saw that it was An Wuyang, he quickly ran over.

"Hello, Mr. An!" Zhou Daoming greeted respectfully.

An Wuyang casually asked, "What are you doing?"

“We are working on a peony cultivation project. We have cultivated different varieties of peonies and are recording the changes during their growth cycle, as well as the soil conditions,” Zhou Daoming explained.

An Wuyang introduced Zhou Daoming to everyone, saying, "This is Zhou Daoming, a second-generation employee of Tianjingyan."

Zhou Daoming quickly replied, "Well, President An, my grandfather's generation worked with your grandfather."

"So you're a third generation?" An Wuyang asked.

Zhou Daoming replied awkwardly, "Yes."

"You seem to be from the Agricultural University of Xia Country?" An Wuyang asked again.

Zhou Daoming answered affirmatively, "That's right, I'm from Xia Guo Agricultural University."

Xia Guo Agricultural University is the number one agricultural university in Xia Guo, holding an absolute leading position among agricultural universities.

"What's your job title and salary?" An Wuyang asked casually.

Zhou Daoming answered truthfully, "I have been with the company for two years. After you took over Wugengtian, Mr. An, our side was also officially incorporated into Wugengtian. I am now a researcher in the Tianjingyan Agricultural Research Department, at the T8 level, with a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan."

"Where are your parents?" An Wuyang asked again.

“They are now plantation workers, at level L7, earning 40 yuan per hour,” Zhou Daoming said quickly.

Hou Yuanxin and Sha Yantao listened quietly to An Wuyang, not quite understanding what he meant.

An Wuyang quickly calculated, "You have a base monthly salary of 20,000, and you're at the T8 level. Your overtime hourly wage should be 100 yuan. Given how hard you work, I estimate you're working at least four hours of overtime a day, right?"

Zhou Daoming scratched his head sheepishly, "Chairman An has given us a lot of instructions. He asked us to optimize the cultivation of peonies, but we don't have enough manpower, so we're working overtime every day."

"Then your monthly salary might reach 40,000 yuan, right?" An Wuyang replied.

Zhou Daoming answered affirmatively, "Yes, my classmates are so envious of me. President An, we are currently short-staffed. Do you have any plans to recruit new people?"

“Ask my dad about this. He’s in charge of research and development!” An Wuyang replied.

"If you also include your parents' L7 job level, even without working overtime, they each earn more than 10,000 yuan a month combined," An Wuyang added.

"Your grandfather should be retired by now. How much is his retirement pension?" An Wuyang asked.

"My retirement pension is over 6200 yuan," Zhou Daoming answered truthfully.

"Alright, alright, go ahead and do your work." An Wuyang waved for Zhou Daoming to leave.

After Zhou Daoming left, An Wuyang looked at Hou Yuanxin and Sha Yantao, "Brother Yuanxin, Brother Yantao, do you still think the price of one million is expensive?"

“This Zhou Daoming is twenty-five years old this year. His family has been long-time employees of our Wugengtian team. Currently, three generations of his family live in Tianjing Town. If there were a new house available now, a fully furnished garden villa, for only one million, do you think he would buy it?” An Wuyang asked.

One million is indeed a lot for many people!

But one million is a huge sum for a family like Zhou Daoming's.
Not many, it seems?
Because their whole family earns more than 60,000 a month!

More importantly, their family spends very little. Zhou Daoming and his parents have access to a canteen for meals, electric scooters for transportation, employee medical insurance, and work uniforms. How do they manage to spend their money?

Hou Yuanxin sighed and said, "We just forgot that Anjia treats its employees very well!"

Hou Yuanxin has indeed forgotten about this!
Unlike most capitalists, Anjia is genuinely willing to spend real money to reward its employees.

No wonder there are employees like the Zhou family, whose three generations are all willing to work for Anjia!

Even before An Wuyang, Anjia treated its employees very well. Although the salaries were not as high as they are now, they were still quite good in comparison.

Otherwise, how could there be employees from three generations of a family who are all willing to work for a family to settle down?
Working people aren't stupid; they can tell who's a good boss, right?
