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

Chapter 743 WPG Negotiation and Conditions: President An brought his new girlfriend to visit the group again. Is this a bad sign?
noon.

Tom Housman, the representative of Johnson Pharmaceuticals from Xia Country, took Aaron and Rudolph to enjoy a special hot pot in Shengqing. As the representative of Xia Country, he planned to use this uniquely Xia Country-style meal to conduct negotiations.

To accommodate the two foreigners, Tom chose a hot pot with two broths, thus avoiding the situation where the two foreigners couldn't eat spicy food.

Aaron and Rudolph couldn't handle spicy food, so they tried the clear broth hot pot, but they didn't really like it.

Tom saw this and quickly began negotiations, "Gentlemen, what price do you intend to sell the anonymous Comfort Pill vouchers you have?"

Rudolph looked at Aaron, who usually made the decision between the two.

Aaron first listed the data: "Our anonymous voucher corresponds to a factory price of $60, while the current overseas price of the comfort pill is about $200 to $300."

“We’ll sell bearer vouchers directly for $120 each, and we hope to eventually net six million dollars,” Aaron stated his offer.

This price isn't cheap!

Since Aaron sells bearer vouchers, if you want to get the comfort pills, you'll need to add a $60 purchase fee, making the total price $180.

This price is neither good nor bad for Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceuticals!

If we take into account the market retail price of $200, after deducting transportation costs, repackaging costs, and sales expenses, Johnson & Johnson's profit margin is very small.

But it's impossible to refer to a price of two hundred dollars now.

Things are rare and valuable!

It's not the time to release the soothing pills in large quantities before dawn, so the price will be higher at this time. If we're not focused on fast sales, they might even sell for over $300.

Assuming a selling price of $300, their gross profit would be equivalent to $120.

Tom secretly calculated the corresponding profit in his mind, so did the other party hope to split the profits equally with Johnson Pharmaceuticals?

“This one is too expensive!” Tom replied.

“You haven’t factored in the costs that Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceuticals has to bear, including international shipping, as well as marketing and tax costs,” Tom added.

The costs of international shipping and marketing are real!
But tax costs.
None of the overseas distributors at dawn are simple guys; do you expect them to obediently pay their taxes?

There are always people who like to boast about how powerful the IRS is, but what does the IRS really mean to the top echelons of society?

Look at Musk, and then look at the legendary investor, don't the amount of taxes these people pay prove anything?
There are also examples in Xia Kingdom of large enterprise presidents earning an annual salary of one yuan, which was praised by silly netizens at the time!

Whether it's the bald eagle, the Xia Kingdom, or anywhere else in the world, the rules only restrict the weak, because the rules are made by the strong!

Aaron did not refute Tom's statement. "Mr. Hausman, what price do you think is appropriate?"

"$60 a serving," Tom quoted directly.

Rudolph secretly calculated that, based on the price Tom had given, they could get three million dollars.

According to the profit-sharing plan that Greg mentioned earlier, Greg would get 1.5 million, and he and Aaron would each get 750,000. Isn't that a good deal?
However, Aaron refused outright, saying, "This price is too low. I'll give you one last price, and if Mr. Hausman doesn't agree, we will terminate the negotiations."

Aaron added, "My final offer is one hundred dollars per piece."

Rudolph secretly looked forward to it. If the offer was accepted, he would receive $1.25 million!
This sum of money is roughly equivalent to his income over twenty years.

Tom hesitated for a moment, then agreed, "Okay! I accept this offer!"

Tom knew very well that Johnson & Johnson was not the only option. East Merck could also be an option for Aaron and Rudolph, and even the four pharmaceutical giants in Europe were good choices.

After all, everyone's money is money!

When Rudolph heard Tom agree, he was immediately excited. After all, receiving twenty years' worth of income in one go was equivalent to achieving financial freedom ahead of schedule.

However, Aaron shook his head. "Mr. Hausman, we have additional requirements."

"Tell me your additional requirements," Tom gestured for them to explain.

Aaron began to explain, “First, for the corresponding payment, we need cash, and we need old bills, specifically $10 and $20 denominations.”

Fifty-dollar and one-hundred-dollar bills are relatively rare in the United States, due to a combination of historical, economic, cultural, and customary reasons.

For example, the fifty-dollar bill is only 7.5% of the twenty-dollar bill in circulation each year.

The other $100 bill, because of its higher value, has become a major target for counterfeiting. At the same time, 50% of the $100 bills in circulation are overseas, while they are relatively rare in the United States.

Normally, large transactions within the Bald Eagle's territory are preferred to be made using checks or bank cards.

In everyday life, ten-dollar and twenty-dollar bills are the absolute mainstream choices when using cash, as they cover the vast majority of Bald Eagles' daily consumption scenarios.

When faced with Aaron's request, Tom keenly guessed something, but he didn't delve into it, because if he did, the deal would be terminated.

“No problem!” Tom agreed.

It's just a few old banknotes worth five million; Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceuticals has a way of easily getting them.

"The second requirement is that we need you to pay for the goods at the designated location first. Once you have paid and we have confirmed the payment, we will give you the bearer delivery voucher," Aaron continued.

"But please rest assured, we will always be under your surveillance, and your funds are safe," Aaron added.

Tom raised an eyebrow, but still agreed, "No problem, give us the location, and we'll arrange payment right away."

"Wait a moment," Aaron replied.

Aaron immediately contacted Greg, explained the current situation, and then asked Greg to send over the payment address.

Greg immediately sent over the receiving address, which was the address of Greg's safe house.

However, Aaron did not send all five million dollars to Greg's safe house. He asked Rudolph for the address to receive the payment, intending to divide the five million dollars into three parts and distribute them according to the pre-agreed proportions.

Greg received $250 million, while he and Rudolph each received $125 million.

Aaron handed three addresses to Tom, who didn't ask why there were three addresses. He simply agreed and said they would make the payment as soon as possible.

It was nearly three o'clock in the afternoon.

Tom drove Aaron and Rudolph back to the Hilton Hotel, and then he contacted An Wuyang.

After waiting for the call to connect, Tom first briefly explained the information about the anonymous gift certificate, and then asked, "Mr. An, is it necessary to clear up this troublesome matter?"

Tom's intention was to help An Wuyang eliminate Greg, Aaron, and Rudolph.

An Wuyang reminded him, "No need! This matter is not troublesome!"

An Wuyang values ​​her reputation!
When others travel a long way to come to your door and take the initiative to resolve outstanding issues, how can An Wuyang turn her back on them?
Reputation is very important!
“Understood. Then we’ll buy their bearer vouchers,” Tom replied.

Poor Aaron and Rudolph had no idea they had just stepped into the gates of hell!

Grand celebration.

North Railway Station.

An Wuyang hung up the phone and then checked the electronic information board at the passenger exit, which showed that Zhuang Xiaomeng's train had arrived at the station.

About five or six minutes later, An Wuyang received Zhuang Xiaomeng.

Zhuang Xiaomeng took An Wuyang's hand; she hadn't seen An Wuyang for some time and was filled with longing for him. "Thank you, President An, for coming to pick me up," Zhuang Xiaomeng said, her heart overflowing with joy.

An Wuyang smiled and nodded, then led her towards the underground parking garage.

The exit and the underground parking garage are very close, less than 100 meters apart.

The two got into an Audi A8L sedan, and Duan Zhiqiang started the engine and drove off.

In the back seat, Zhuang Xiaomeng was still holding An Wuyang's hand. She asked with a hint of trepidation, "President An, where are we going now?"

An Wuyang asked with a playful tone, "Where do you want to go?"

Zhuang Xiaomeng responded, "I will follow President An's arrangements."

"You'll find out soon enough!" An Wuyang didn't give a definite answer.

Zhuang Xiaomeng secretly looked forward to it. Where would An Wuyang take her?

hotel?

Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group Headquarters?

Or should we go directly to Shengqing International Airport and then head to Lanjiang in Dongguang Province to check out the pearl grouper farming base?
Different locations represent her different positions in An Wuyang's heart.

Zhuang Xiaomeng most wants to go to the headquarters of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group!

Zhuang Xiaomeng saw Xia Yuqing and Lu Manman's story in the short video, and naturally she wanted to go to the Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group headquarters to make her presence known.

A moment later, when the convoy of three Audis returned to the headquarters of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group, Zhuang Xiaomeng already had a happy smile on her face.

An Wuyang really brought her to the headquarters of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group!
A black Audi A8L stopped in front of the Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group headquarters building, and An Wuyang and Zhuang Xiaomeng got out of the car.

This time, it was An Wuyang who took Zhuang Xiaomeng's hand and led her into the Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group headquarters building.

The two receptionists immediately greeted them:
"Hello, Mr. An!"

"Good afternoon, Mr. An!"

An Wuyang nodded slightly, and Zhuang Xiaomeng also glanced at the two receptionists. She thought the two receptionists were quite attractive.

As An Wuyang led Zhuang Xiaomeng away, Chen Juan, the receptionist, immediately whispered, "Lan'er, wasn't the girl Mr. An was just holding hands with his girlfriend?"

Another receptionist, Liu Lan, said in a low voice, "That's Zhuang Xiaomeng, President An's classmate from school. There are revelations about it in the short video."

"In addition, President An also has a girlfriend from the North American region and a girlfriend who is a live streamer." Liu Lan was obviously very familiar with An Wuyang's information.

Chen Juan immediately teased, "Why are you so concerned about President An? Do you like him too?"

"Don't you like President An?" Liu Lan retorted with a snort.

"There's a lot of information circulating online that says President An treats his girlfriend very well. If I were President An's girlfriend, I'd never have to worry about anything in my life!" Liu Lan began to fantasize.

Chen Juan chuckled twice, "It's impossible for us!"

At most, they are just pretty girls in the eyes of ordinary people, so how could they possibly catch An Wuyang's eye?

If you're not perfect in terms of purity, you're already out of the running!

An Wuyang led Zhuang Xiaomeng on a tour of the headquarters of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group, and then on a tour of the research and development center.

Inside the R&D center, Zhuang Xiaomeng asked curiously, "President An, was the Snow White Essence Cream developed here?"

An Wuyang nodded, "That's right! Do you want to go and take a look?"

"Is that okay?" Zhuang Xiaomeng asked immediately.

“Of course!” An Wuyang replied with a smile.

What's wrong with that?
The core of the Ningzhi Ruoxue series of products lies in the bitter orange essential oil from the Tianjingyan base, rather than any specific technology. Visitors are welcome to tour the site; there is no fear of leaks.

Any large-scale cosmetics company can easily replicate bitter orange essential oil from a Tianjingyan base.

Under An Wuyang's guidance, Zhuang Xiaomeng toured the entire R&D center, and the entire R&D center learned that An Wuyang had brought his new girlfriend to visit again.

This includes Anko-shun, of course!

Faced with his eldest son bringing his girlfriend home again, what could An Huchun do but pretend he didn't see it?
What else can he do?
Tube?
How to manage?
An Wuyang won't listen again!

More importantly, An Wuyang has a whole set of fallacies and heresies. He was worried that he would not be able to persuade An Wuyang, but would be persuaded by An Wuyang instead. Wouldn't that be the end of him?

That's why Ankoharu didn't want to get involved; he simply ignored it.

An Wuyang led Zhuang Xiaomeng back to his office. He was about to lead Zhuang Xiaomeng to sit on the sofa in the rest area, but Zhuang Xiaomeng pulled him to his desk.

Zhuang Xiaomeng gestured for An Wuyang to sit down, then sat on An Wuyang's lap, wrapped her arms around An Wuyang's neck, and said coquettishly, "President An, do I look like your secretary now?"

"You look like a special assistant to me!" An Wuyang snorted in response.

"Huh?" Zhuang Xiaomeng asked in confusion.

“Special Life Assistant, or Special Assistant for short.” An Wuyang grinned mischievously.

Zhuang Xiaomeng looked into An Wuyang's eyes and deliberately asked in a low voice, "So what does the special assistant need to do for President An?"

An Wuyang kissed her without hesitation, and only released the little butterfly when Zhuang Xiaomeng was a little out of breath.

"This is what a special life assistant needs to handle!" An Wuyang joked.

"Can I become President An's special assistant?" Zhuang Xiaomeng asked, half-jokingly.

An Wuyang didn't refuse directly, "That depends on your performance!"

“Alright, I’ll take you to Tianjingyan first, so you can see our medicinal herb planting base at dawn.” An Wuyang changed the subject.

Zhuang Xiaomeng became his special personal assistant?

Xia Yuqing will definitely be unhappy!

An Wuyang clearly cared about Xia Yuqing's thoughts, after all, Xia Yuqing held a higher position in An Wuyang's heart, which was beyond doubt, even though An Wuyang's other girlfriends were well aware of it.

So, to avoid such a situation, how could An Wuyang possibly agree to Zhuang Xiaomeng's request?
Zhuang Xiaomeng felt a pang of regret, but An Wuyang's refusal was the expected outcome, so she wasn't particularly disappointed.

The two traveled from the headquarters of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group to the Tianjingyan medicinal herb planting base by Airbus H-225 helicopter.

Twenty minutes later, the Airbus H-225 landed on the helipad at the Tianjingyan medicinal herb planting base.

The helicopter had just landed when An Wuyang's cell phone rang.

The caller ID showed Ye Tianling, and An Wuyang answered immediately.

"President An, something terrible has happened," Ye Tianling said quickly.
