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

Chapter 828 WPG's Gradually Saturated Market? Chen Hongzhi Takes the Blame! Urging Musk to Speed ​​Up Progress!
Since it was impossible to determine Zhu Zhiwei's intentions, An Wuyang did not make any wild guesses.

Since Zhu Zhiwei asked about the profits of Hongyuan Pharmaceuticals, An Wuyang answered the relevant questions.

An Wuyang initially gave a general reply: 'The issue of Hongyuan Pharmaceuticals' profits is actually a very complex one.'

Zhu Zhiwei looked at the message sent by An Wuyang with a puzzled expression. What complicated question was this about related profits?

She immediately replied to the message: 'Could you tell me more details?'

Zhu Zhiwei did not quite understand the complexity involved.

An Wuyang didn't explain immediately. He replied to the message, "Sister Zhiwei, have you looked into Hongyuan Pharmaceuticals in detail?"

When faced with this question, Zhu Zhiwei immediately gave a negative answer.

Zhu Zhiwei: I've only heard that Hongyuan Pharmaceuticals is very profitable; I haven't done any detailed investigation.

That's right!

Zhu Zhiwei had not conducted a detailed investigation into Hongyuan Pharmaceuticals, mainly because the average person knows almost nothing about lupus, so Zhu Zhiwei naturally had not paid attention to it.

'An Wuyang: Are you familiar with the equity structure of Hongyuan Pharmaceuticals?'

Zhu Zhiwei: I've only heard about it. Apparently, it's divided into three parts: your Wugengtian group, some members of your Shengqing circle, and some members of our Beijing circle, right?

'An Wuyang: That's right.'

'An Wuyang: I've sent you a screenshot of the detailed equity plan.'

An Wuyang immediately sent Zhu Zhiwei the equity structure information of Hongyuan Pharmaceutical R&D Company as a picture, thus avoiding the need to type out a detailed explanation.

Zhu Zhiwei quickly checked the equity structure information sent by An Wuyang and saw a name that surprised her—Yang Yuxin.

Yang Yuxin comes from the fourth tier of the Beijing circle. Logically speaking, Zhu Zhiwei should have almost no idea who Yang Yuxin is. But who can blame her for being beautiful and thus having a small reputation in the circle?

Given that Yang Yuxin is very beautiful, and given that An Wuyang has an excellent reputation on the internet, and that Yang Yuxin is a shareholder of Hongyuan Pharmaceutical R&D Company, even if she only holds 0.5% of the shares, it is not something that Yang Yuxin should own, is it?
so.
Zhu Zhiwei speculated that Yang Yuxin might be having an affair with An Wuyang?
Otherwise, how did Yang Yuxin obtain the shares?
However, Zhu Zhiwei did not directly ask about this matter.

How do you ask about something like this?
Should we just ask, "Have you slept with Yang Yuxin?"
Isn't that incredibly impolite?
As for the responses to other inquiries, they will ultimately only come to the meaning described above.

Zhu Zhiwei: I looked at the shareholding structure, and then what?

'An Wuyang: The lupus relief medication produced by Hongyuan Pharmaceuticals has an ex-factory price of only 5,000 Xia Guoyuan, and will only be allocated to shareholders according to their shareholding ratio.'

'An Wuyang: Currently, Hongyuan Pharmaceuticals' daily production capacity can reach up to 10,000 doses.'

'An Wuyang: According to the corresponding shareholding ratio, shareholders other than us at Wugengtian can receive a maximum of 6,000 doses of lupus relief medication per day.'

'Safe and sound: Currently, lupus medications have gained a global reputation and their effectiveness has been proven.'

'Safe and sound: However, given the limited number of lupus patients and the effectiveness of lupus medications, the demand is gradually decreasing.'

'All is well: Therefore, the price has now dropped.'

Zhu Zhiwei: What were the past and present selling prices?

'All is well.'

An Wuyang: No, you didn't even investigate this basic information?

Zhu Zhiwei: No, it's better to ask directly than to investigate.

good good!
At this moment, Zhu Zhiwei looks exactly like a silly netizen!
Because netizens are the same way; even though they could use a search engine to find the answers, they still prefer to ask all sorts of questions online.

'An Wuyang: Regarding the pricing issue, we've maintained our dual-track system even at dawn.'

'Safe and sound: The corresponding price is divided into domestic and overseas prices.'

Zhu Zhiwei: Regarding this dual-track system, I'm actually quite curious. Aren't you worried about being labeled as having seed discrimination or regional discrimination?

'An Wuyang: Is it possible that my online persona is that of a famous knight?'

'An Wuyang: I'm not worried about these issues at all, because I'm already engaging in discrimination.'

'An Wuyang: In the business world, we at Wugengtian are a monopolistic enterprise. Don't we engage in discrimination and charity?'

'An Wuyang: Taking lupus medication as an example, the first batch of products in Xia Kingdom cost as much as 100,000, but the price has now dropped to 20,000.'

Zhu Zhiwei: The price drop is quite significant!

Zhu Zhiwei: But isn't 20,000 still quite expensive?

An Wuyang: We have a partnership with Shengqing Commercial Bank; we can get a medical loan of 20,000 yuan, which we can repay gradually over time.

'An Wuyang: We can even get premature birth loans in the dead of night, what's a mere medical loan?'

An Wuyang joked about himself.

The term "premature birth loan" is a sarcastic one, but it is actually very biased, because its essence is to save the lives of newborns.

Is life more important, or money?
The medical loan for lupus was developed based on this logic. Lupus is very debilitating, and in order to save patients, Wugengtian partnered with Shengqing Commercial Bank to develop a medical loan with very low interest rates.

After all, once lupus is treated with medication, as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle, it's equivalent to curing lupus.

Zhu Zhiwei smiled as she read An Wuyang's statement, knowing full well that the term "premature birth loan" was just a joke.

'An Wuyang: The initial overseas price was also $100,000.'

'An Wuyang: However, due to the remarkable effectiveness of lupus medications, and the significant decrease in the number of patients, the current price has dropped to $1.88.'

Zhu Zhiwei: Well, that's still making a fortune, right?

Zhu Zhiwei: "The net profit of one dose of lupus medication overseas exceeds 100,000 Xia Guoyuan. With 6,000 doses a day, that's 600 million!"

'An Wuyang: What are you thinking about?'

'An Wuyang: Don't we pay taxes?'

'An Wuyang: Furthermore, current sales are unstable. After all, the product's effectiveness is so great that many lupus patients have been relieved of their suffering and no longer need lupus relief medication.'

An Wuyang now suddenly understands Chen Hongzhi's motives for his underhanded tactics. Back then, Chen Hongzhi secretly planned to have Professor Wei Zhenghong reduce the efficacy of the lupus relief medication, thus turning it into a consumable.

Only through continuous consumption can Hongyuan Pharmaceutical generate a steady stream of profits.

The current lupus medications are so effective that even if they cannot cure lupus, they are essentially a cure.

Zhu Zhiwei: Aren't you going to reduce the drug's effectiveness?

An Wuyang looked at Zhu Zhiwei's reply and held back his complaints.

Zhu Zhiwei thinks exactly the same way as Chen Hongzhi, right?
However, for guys in their social class, their thinking doesn't seem to be wrong.
'An Wuyang: Although I am a knight, there are some things I will not do.'

'An Wuyang: In fact, even with declining sales, Hongyuan Pharmaceuticals' profits remain very high.'

An Wuyang: As for the specific amount of money that can be earned, that depends on the specific actions taken by each shareholder.

'An Wuyang: I can reveal something. Currently, all the lupus medications available in Xia Kingdom are being shipped out by our Wugengtian team, accounting for 40% of the total.'

'An Wuyang: All the lupus relief medications from the other shareholders have been sourced and sold overseas.'

Zhu Zhiwei looked at the message An Wuyang had sent, and a look of surprise crossed her face. 'Zhu Zhiwei: Don't you guys want to go overseas to make money before dawn?'

'An Wuyang: We only need to earn our share at dawn.'

Zhu Zhiwei remained silent for a moment before continuing to send messages.

Zhu Zhiwei: Regarding the Ruizhi project, what are your plans for the early morning hours?

Zhu Zhiwei: I've also heard some rumors recently.

An Wuyang was slightly surprised by Zhu Zhiwei's sudden change of topic. Had Zhu Zhiwei heard some rumors?
'An Wuyang: What rumor?'

Zhu Zhiwei: Smart Brain Company.

'An Wuyang: Where did you hear this rumor from?'

Zhu Zhiwei: The Capital Circle of Hongkang Island.

Zhu Zhiwei: These past few days, the investment circles there have been tons of news about SmartBrain Company, so I've been keeping an eye on the situation.

Zhu Zhiwei: Based on the information released by Smart Brain Company, I suspect you might be behind it, so I'd like to ask about the situation.

So Zhu Zhiwei used the fact that Hongyuan Pharmaceuticals made money to bring up the Ruizhi Project, and then wanted to ask about the Ruizhi Project's profitability?

'An Wuyang: I underestimated you!'

Faced with An Wuyang's slightly teasing words, Zhu Zhiwei not only wasn't angry, but instead smiled.

Zhu Zhiwei: Did I guess right?

'Be safe and sound: Remember to keep this a secret!'

'An Wuyang: Your family is also a major shareholder in the Ruizhi project!'

The largest shareholder of Ruizhi Pharmaceutical R&D Company, which manages the Ruizhi project, is New Origin Life Sciences, which holds 90% of the shares.

Zhu Zhiwei's family is also a major shareholder of New Origin Life Science Company.

Therefore, based on the equity penetration analysis, Zhu Zhiwei's family is the major shareholder of the Ruizhi project.

Zhu Zhiwei: Could you elaborate on your plans?

'An Wuyang: Not for now, but I can tell you our purpose.'

'An Wuyang: We plan to acquire Smart Brain Company through Ruizhi Pharmaceuticals, then use Smart Brain Company as a shell to list on Hongkang Island, and use Hongkang Island as a starting point to sell Ruizhi Pharmaceuticals' products globally.'

Zhu Zhiwei: ???

Zhu Zhiwei: Has Ruizhi Pharmaceuticals already developed a product?

Zhu Zhiwei: How come I didn't know?

An Wuyang, one of the shareholders of Ruizhi Pharmaceuticals, once suggested that we could create a health product similar to the "No Gifts During Chinese New Year" campaign, thereby profiting from consumers' lack of knowledge and skills globally.

Zhu Zhiwei: Chen Hongzhi?

Zhu Zhiwei: He just loves stirring up these kinds of things!

An Wuyang looked at the message sent by Zhu Zhiwei and couldn't help but laugh out loud. So Chen Hongzhi's reputation is still well-known, huh?
An Wuyang: You've really wronged him this time!

'An Wuyang: The suggestion was made by Qin Sheng, the head of Tianyin Pharmaceuticals, one of our distributors under Wugengtian, who hails from Shanghai.'

Zhu Zhiwei suddenly realized that she knew Qin Sheng; he was An Wuyang's number one lackey.

Zhu Zhiwei was familiar with most of An Wuyang's interpersonal relationships.

Zhu Zhiwei: Although it wasn't Chen Hongzhi, if Qin Sheng hadn't brought this up, Chen Hongzhi would have done the same thing later.

An Wuyang couldn't help but laugh out loud again. It seems that Chen Hongzhi really has a reputation. Even if it's not his fault, he will force him to take the blame.

Zhu Zhiwei: Aren't you worried about damaging your reputation by exploiting people's lack of knowledge and skills?

An Wuyang: That was something the Smart Brain Company did; how could it damage their reputation?

An Wuyang: Even if we look beyond the shareholding structure, the problem still lies with Ruizhi Pharmaceutical R&D Company.

'Anwuyang: Further investigation into the shareholding structure ultimately led to New Origin Life Sciences Co., Ltd.'

An Wuyang: Although we at Wugengtian have a controlling stake, that's at the level of a great-grandchild company, and it's basically not related to Wugengtian itself.

If there are two joint ventures between Wugengtian and Smart Brain, separated by three layers of framework, then it has little to do with Wugengtian, right?

Moreover, there's Yang Jing's Jingxin Pharmaceutical Sales Company and three offshore companies involved, making the cross-shareholding structure even more complex. It won't be easy to penetrate this complex cross-shareholding structure.

Besides, if this relationship were really exposed, there would be a lot of scapegoats!

For example, Qin Sheng?
Qin Sheng could fully assume overall responsibility, stating that he led the development of the corresponding project and promoted its progress.

In fact, even when it comes to taking the blame, Qin Sheng has to be eager to do so, otherwise Jiang Yingyu from Smart Brain Company will take the blame herself.

Zhu Zhiwei: So when do you plan to start?

'An Wuyang: Is Sister Zhiwei planning to get involved?'

Zhu Zhiwei: Simply out of curiosity.

'All is well: Soon!'

Zhu Zhiwei: Then let's wait and see your good news!

'An Wuyang: Okay!'

Zhu Zhiwei: Remember the meeting tomorrow night.

Zhu Zhiwei: It's still Fangfei Garden at the State Guesthouse, 6 PM sharp, is that alright?

'All is well: No problem.'

After the two finished their conversation, An Wuyang reviewed their exchange and had a feeling that Zhu Zhiwei hadn't contacted him because of the Ruizhi Project or the Smart Brain.

Although this matter is indeed very important and can make a lot of money, Zhu Zhiwei's family can also gain huge benefits from it.

But for the circle that Zhu Zhiwei belongs to, this doesn't seem to be the main reason she focuses on it, right?
An Wuyang thought about it again and again but still couldn't guess Zhu Zhiwei's thoughts, so he silently put the matter aside.

If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it!

Why waste brain cells?
An Wuyang casually sent a message to Musk.

'An Wuyang: Elon, have you finished selecting volunteers over there?'

'An Wuyang: My dad's pressuring me again.'

'All is well: They've even sent over the relevant testing drugs.'

'An Wuyang: Please get the volunteer arrangements sorted out as soon as possible.'

An Huchun was indeed very proactive in finding 'volunteers' to test the new drug in the Bald Eagle, so An Wuyang also had to be proactive!
