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

Chapter 710 WPG0709 Precise Social Skills! Self-Promotion? The Shi Family! How to Choose Favors?

Li Kun: I have more good news for you!

Li Kun: It seems that General Manager An just scolded the person in charge of the base and said he would give us a raise.

Yang Tao: Really?

Lin Miao: Really?

Ye Qi: They're actually raising wages again? I think 120 yuan a day, including food, lodging, and round-trip transportation, and the work isn't even strenuous, is really high!

Li Kun: Who says otherwise?

Li Kun: Does everyone still remember Yang Zhou?

Lin Miao: I remember!

Lin Miao: I remember he delivered takeout near the school, right?

Li Kun: Yes!

Li Kun: He works himself to the bone all day and only earns a little over a hundred yuan. He also has to cover his own food and lodging, and the work is really tiring.

Li Kun: I checked the exercise data he sent me. Yesterday, he took over 30,000 steps and climbed over 200 floors.

Lin Miao: There was nothing I could do. He also applied for a part-time job at the medicinal herb base here during the winter break, but he didn't pass the assessment.

Ye Qi: That would be such a pity!

Ye Qi: My job today was to ride my four-wheeled motorcycle around the area to make sure the medicinal herbs were growing properly.

Ye Qi: This job is too easy. I even feel uneasy about taking the money. Won't I hurt someone's kidneys in the middle of the night?

Li Kun: So we still need to study hard. Luckily, we passed the early morning exam.

Yang Tao: I hope I can work at Wugengtian after I graduate!

Li Kun: Go wash up and go to bed, maybe it will come true in your dreams!

While everyone was chatting, they received a message from the "All Temporary Workers of Tianjingyan Medicinal Herb Planting Base During Winter Break Group".

An Shicang - Supervisor: @Everyone: Hello everyone, I am An Shicang, supervisor of the Tianjingyan medicinal herb planting base. First of all, I wish everyone a Happy New Year.

An Shicang - Supervisor: Today, Mr. An Wuyang from the group headquarters expressed his concern for all the students!

An Shicang - Supervisor: As per General Manager An's instructions, everyone's salaries will be adjusted as follows!

An Shicang - Supervisor: The basic daily wage of 120 yuan and the basic hourly wage of 15 yuan remain unchanged.

An Shicang - Supervisor: However, from yesterday, January 29th to February 6th (the sixth day of the Lunar New Year), your basic daily wage and overtime hourly wage will be calculated at three times the holiday rate, meaning your daily wage will increase to 360 yuan and your overtime hourly wage will increase to 45 yuan.

'An Shicang - Supervisor: This is Mr. An Wuyang's reward for your hard work and contributions during the Spring Festival!'

An Shicang - Supervisor: Also, tomorrow, January 31st, Lunar New Year's Eve, at 1 PM, the base will be hosting a New Year's Eve dinner for you in the main dining hall. However, since the kitchen staff will also be going home for the New Year, the dinner will be a buffet-style hot pot.

Shengqing Hot Pot allows customers to prepare their own ingredients in advance and then cook them themselves, eliminating the need for a chef to prepare them on the spot.

An Shicang - Supervisor: Finally, I wish everyone a pleasant workday at Wugengtian and Tianjingyan!

I have to say, Ahn Se-chang has really high emotional intelligence!
In his notice to the temporary workers, An Shichang explicitly stated that the extra pay raise was thanks to An Wuyang, thus highlighting An Wuyang's contribution.

This is indeed flattering An Wuyang, but it must be said that An Shicang's actions were the right choice.

If An Shicang hadn't shown his gratitude to An Wuyang, although An Wuyang wouldn't have done anything to An Shicang immediately, An Shicang would have narrowed his own path!
As soon as An Shicang announced the salary increase, Li Kun and his friends' group chat became lively.

Lin Miao: Holy crap!!!

Lin Miao: @Li Kun: You really got a raise!

Lin Miao: 360 yuan a day!

Lin Miao: Wugeng's annual leave is 9 days, which adds up to 3240 yuan!

Lin Miao: Our school starts on March 1st, which means we can get about 6000 yuan over the winter break!

Yang Tao: You've underestimated it!

Yang Tao: You didn't calculate overtime pay!

Ye Qi: Overtime?

Ye Qi: @Yang Tao: Taozi, what's your position? Why are you still working overtime?

Yang Tao: Don't you have any?

Yang Tao: I do the sorting and basic processing of medicinal herbs. Recently, the regular employees have been given leave, so there are only about twenty of us here, and we're working overtime until the early hours every day.

Ye Qi: Damn it!

Ye Qi: I'm a patrolman, I don't have anything to do every day, right?

Lin Miao: Li Kun and I are both plantation workers. We spend our days in the fields, checking for pests and diseases, and weeding. Our workload is very light; there's never any overtime.

Li Kun: I don't have any either.

Li Kun: Taozi, is your medicinal herb processing center still short-staffed? I'm not afraid of hard work, I'd like to work overtime!

Yang Tao: I'll ask Director Liu later.

The workers at the medicinal herb processing center were on holiday, but some of the leadership were still on holiday. Among them, Deputy Supervisor Liu Wenpeng was in charge of leading the temporary workers to handle the medicinal herbs.

Most employees prefer to work overtime in the early morning hours.

Because they actually pay overtime wages at dawn!

Who wouldn't like overtime pay ranging from 1.5 times to 3 times the normal rate?
Most workers dislike working overtime because their bosses don't pay overtime. So who likes working overtime?

In the evening, in the afterglow of the sunset, An Wuyang arrived at the Morinda officinalis planting area.

This is the core area of ​​the Tianjingyan medicinal herb planting base, so security is extremely tight, including a 360-degree security monitoring system that integrates infrared thermal radiation detectors and motion sensors.

Let alone a person approaching, even a bird approaching would be detected immediately.

In addition to the security monitoring system, there are resident security personnel here!
There are guards and patrols on duty 24/7!
When An Wuyang arrived, security personnel came over to verify his identity.

An Wuyang, accompanied by security personnel, patrolled the Morinda officinalis planting area. Of course, he couldn't possibly inspect the entire area, as it covered a full 6000 mu (approximately 11 hectares). This batch of Morinda officinalis was planted on November 8th of last year, and now, nearly three months later, An Wuyang attempted to inquire with the Happy Life System.

"Brother Tongzi, have these Morinda officinalis plants already developed vitality-restoring factors?" An Wuyang asked Brother Tongzi directly.

However, Brother Tongzi completely ignored him!

However, An Wuyang didn't care, because he was already used to Tongzi faking his death.

An Wuyang asked Tongzi Ge because he wanted to know the answer immediately.

In fact, An Wuyang could have easily instructed the Wugengtian R&D Center to test the corresponding situation.

Just send one or two Morinda officinalis plants to the Wugengtian R&D Center for testing to find out if they contain vitality restoration factors. If they do, the corresponding content of vitality restoration factors can be detected.

However, the research and development center is currently on holiday and will not be back to work until February 7th.

An Wuyang was too lazy to wait, so she asked Brother Tongzi.

As usual, Brother Tongzi pretended to be dead and completely ignored An Wuyang's questions.

An Wuyang walked around for a moment, then waved his hand to signal the security personnel around him to keep their distance. He then took out his phone to contact his network of contacts in the capital city, as he needed to resolve the issue of [FE02].

An Wuyang decided to first ask Chen Hongzhi to see if Chen Hongzhi's network of connections could solve the problem.

The reason for choosing Chen Hongzhi was not because An Wuyang had the best relationship with Chen Hongzhi, but because she had known Chen Hongzhi for a relatively long time and was familiar with Chen Hongzhi's situation.

An Wuyang dialed Chen Hongzhi's number, and it was answered in less than half a minute.

Chen Hongzhi greeted him warmly, "Brother Wuyang, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, Brother Hongzhi," An Wuyang greeted politely.

"Is there anything I can help you with, Brother Wuyang?" Chen Hongzhi asked bluntly. He knew very well that his relationship with An Wuyang was just that of business partners. The two had some personal acquaintance, but they were far from being good friends or brothers.

Besides, even if you're good friends, can the relationship last if there's no shared interest?

For example, if you earn 300,000 a month and your best friend earns 3,000 a month, can you two still hang out together?
A misalignment in consumption values ​​alone can create a huge gap!
Some might say that even though they can't hang out together often, their friendship won't change.

If someone says something like that, what if their friend who earns 3,000 a month asks them for a loan?
After one or two times, what about three, four, five, or even more times?

An Wuyang and Chen Hongzhi's relationship isn't so much about money, but they don't have a childhood friendship or the experience of time together, so they are more like business partners than good friends or brothers.

"I'd like to ask, in our cooperative projects, is there any company that has strong capabilities in customs?" An Wuyang inquired.

Chen Hongzhi immediately retorted, "Brother Wuyang, do you have something to bring in?"

The people in the capital city circle have all investigated An Wuyang's situation. They are very clear about the fact that An Wuyang and the Shengqing circle jointly sent back a batch of gold-containing electronic waste.

If such a good thing happens again, Chen Hongzhi will be the first to participate!

An Wuyang denied it, saying, "This time it's not that I have something to bring in, but that someone is trying to cause trouble and bring in some inappropriate things."

“Here’s what happened,” An Wuyang began to tell Chen Hongzhi the whole story.

Starting with the initial counterfeit energy recovery factor [FE01], we moved on to [FE02], and then to the rumors that [FE02] was preparing to enter the Xia Kingdom to open up the market.

After hearing this information, Chen Hongzhi was a little confused.

"So, Guanghui Pharmaceuticals' R&D capabilities are indeed very strong, but they've just misplaced their skill points?" Chen Hongzhi summarized.

An Wuyang joked, "Perhaps it wasn't a mistake?"

Bald eagles have their own unique characteristics!
Is it possible that the Bald Eagle-themed entertainment products being researched by Glorious Pharmaceuticals are actually the very direction they were originally planning to research?

Guanghui Pharmaceuticals attempted to replicate the Energy Restoration Factor by extracting special phenolic substances from Korean ginseng, which is what is meant by going astray.

After all, if they can't come up with anything real, they can easily create some unique entertainment products.

In the Bald Eagle, certain unique entertainment activities have been legalized. For example, hemp leaves are legal there!

Chen Hongzhi understood An Wuyang's teasing tone and replied with a smile, "That's true!"

"Brother Hongzhi, which company do you think would be more suitable to handle this matter?" An Wuyang brought the topic back.

Before Chen Hongzhi could answer, An Wuyang added, "The only information we have is that someone wants to send [FE02] in, but we don't know where it will be sent from."

"Therefore, we need a plan that can coordinate customs from a holistic perspective, rather than being limited to customs in a particular location," An Wuyang added.

This was to eliminate unsuitable candidates recommended by Chen Hongzhi.

An Wuyang knew very well that Chen Hongzhi understood that this matter was an opportunity!
Because once [FE02] is intercepted from entering the country, it will be a huge achievement. Whoever gets this achievement will be a great honor for the imperial court, and it can pave the way for future problems!

In fact, even just reporting the [FE02] incident and obtaining a sample of [FE02] so that customs search dogs and inspectors in various regions could understand the situation of [FE02] and take targeted precautions would be a great achievement!
Therefore, to prevent Chen Hongzhi from giving the credit to his "own people" with connections, An Wuyang made it particularly clear that he needed a plan that could coordinate the entire customs system.

Only a comprehensive plan that coordinates customs operations can quickly enable customs offices across the country to establish a defense mechanism against [FE02].

Chen Hongzhi understood what An Wuyang meant. He had actually had such an idea, because he wanted to make the most of this opportunity and get the best of both worlds.

“There is a suitable candidate among the shareholders of New Origin Life Science Company, the Shi family. They are one of the more powerful members in the second tier of the Beijing circle, and overall, they are about the same as our family,” Chen Hongzhi explained.

Actually, Chen Hongzhi was just trying to make his family look good. Although his family and the Shi family were both in the second tier of the capital circle, his family was actually a bit worse off.

Because the pillar of their family is nearing retirement, while the pillar of the Shi family is still young and vigorous, and holds a better position.

The competition within the capital city circle is also fierce, though it may not be immediately apparent. However, if the timeline is extended, and some individuals have their authority reduced, they can easily fall from grace.

“The Shi family has considerable influence in the customs sector. Once the Shi family gets involved, they can quickly transmit the information about [FE02] to every customs office,” Chen Hongzhi explained.

"Brother Wuyang, do you have a sample of [FE02]?" Chen Hongzhi pressed.

If An Wuyang has a sample of [FE02], it would be easier for the customs system to quickly identify [FE02].

"Not yet, but we're trying to get a sample of [FE02] from the bald eagle. Don't worry, it should be back in two or three days at most," An Wuyang explained.

“That would be great!” Chen Hongzhi replied.

"Brother Wuyang, should you contact the Shi family personally, or should I handle this for you?" Chen Hongzhi asked tentatively.

If An Wuyang personally contacts the Shi family, then it will naturally be An Wuyang communicating with the Shi family, thus allowing An Wuyang to fully accept this favor.

However, if An Wuyang asks him to contact the Shi family, then the Shi family will owe An Wuyang a favor, and they will owe Chen Hongzhi an additional favor as well.

Because An Wuyang first approached Chen Hongzhi, and Chen Hongzhi then recommended the Shi family, this was more or less a favor!
