Facing An Wuyang's question, An Huchun gave him an affirmative answer.
"Everything is ready except for the final push," An Wuyang summarized first.
He then turned to Li Wenya and added, "Mom, as for product registration, the relevant approvals, applications for the patented formula, and so on, can Wugengtian Group entrust everything to Mingjing Law Firm?"
Li Wenya answered firmly, "Of course."
"Dad, you'll be responsible for the production side. I'll handle contacting Xing Kiln White Porcelain for the custom packaging, as well as the subsequent marketing plan," An Wuyang continued explaining.
An Huchun agreed. "All right."
"I did a rough calculation. Even without bundled sales, our new products should bring in around 2.5 billion yuan in gross profit. I have a new plan for the money," An Huchun added.
Li Wenya and An Wuyang both looked at An Huchun.
An Huchun continued, "First, I hope to use this profit to expand Tianjingyan Medicinal Herb Planting Base and further increase the planting area for Bitter Orange Flower."
"Although we can't determine why only the Bitter Orange Flower Essential Oil from Tianjingyan Medicinal Herb Planting Base has the effects of eliminating dullness and restoring fair skin, we can still expand the planting area for Bitter Orange Flower," An Huchun added.
"Second, I plan to establish a new drug research and development center beside Tianjingyan Medicinal Herb Planting Base," An Huchun continued.
"The future profits of Snowy Skin Series Products will be considerable. I hope to build an even more advanced drug research and development center so we can better study the Bitter Orange Flower from Tianjingyan Medicinal Herb Planting Base, while also researching other medicinal herbs," An Huchun declared ambitiously.
Li Wenya looked at An Wuyang.
An Wuyang spread his hands like a little bear. "Of course, no problem."
When a second-generation rich kid wanted to squander money, what could a third-generation rich kid like him do?
A smile appeared on An Huchun's face. In truth, he had been afraid that An Wuyang would be reluctant to give up the profits and refuse to approve such a money-burning endeavor.
After agreeing, An Wuyang took out his phone and checked the time. It was already nearly eleven o'clock. He hurriedly said, "I have something to do this afternoon. I'm heading out first."
An Huchun called after him, "Wait!"
An Wuyang looked at An Huchun in confusion.
An Huchun took out the keys to his Mercedes-Benz S400L and handed them to An Wuyang. "It's too hot outside. Drive there if you have somewhere to go."
"No need, no need. I'm just going to pick up my car," An Wuyang replied.
An Wuyang had already confessed that he was buying a car, so An Huchun and Li Wenya were not surprised.
"Are you coming home for dinner tonight?" Li Wenya asked.
An Wuyang shook his head. "I'm not coming home. I've made plans to eat with a friend."
"Then be careful. If you drink, don't drive. Remember to call a designated driver," Li Wenya reminded him.
An Wuyang answered confidently, "Don't worry. I know."
Don't drink and drive; don't drive after drinking. An Wuyang naturally knew this principle by heart.
After leaving Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group, An Wuyang called Baosheng 5S Store to ask about picking up his car.
The inquiry process was quick and simple. Baosheng 5S Store said that the relevant vehicle was ready and that they had even selected the corresponding license plate. They were only waiting for An Wuyang to come and pick it up.
The license plate was, of course, a reward previously given by the Happy Life System. The specific plate number was Sheng A168. The "WY" stood for the initial letters of "Wuyang," while "168" sounded like "prosper all the way."
The Happy Life System really was fantastic!
An Wuyang took a taxi directly to Baosheng 5S Store. About half an hour later, he arrived at the dealership's showroom and called the sales representative again.
A slim female sales representative wearing light makeup walked toward An Wuyang.
"Hello, Mr. An. I'm your sales representative, Li Jia," Li Jia greeted him proactively.
An Wuyang nodded slightly. Li Jia did look quite attractive after applying makeup, but he had no intention of flirting with her. Right now, he only wanted to pick up his car as quickly as possible.
Of course, An Wuyang was not going to bluntly say that he was in such a hurry because Li Jia was not pretty enough.
"Hello. Is my car ready?" An Wuyang asked politely.
Li Jia replied courteously, "This way, please. We've already prepared a vehicle handover ceremony for you."
An Wuyang frowned slightly. He did not need any vehicle handover ceremony.
It was merely a BMW that had just crossed into the million-yuan price range. In the social circle he belonged to, holding a handover ceremony for a car like this would actually be rather awkward!
After all, the ways people showed off differed between social circles.
For ordinary people, a 300,000-yuan BBA was enough to show off on Moments.
Although many people liked to make sour remarks online, if they were truly asked to produce proof of purchasing a vehicle worth more than 300,000 yuan, most netizens would find one excuse after another to stall.
After all, these people simply did not understand that "being able to afford something" and "having already bought it" were two different concepts.
Quite a lot of people could indeed grit their teeth and force themselves to buy a vehicle in the 300,000-yuan price range.
But what then?
Food, clothing, housing, and transportation were all interconnected!
Once the transportation aspect was upgraded, would the standards in the other areas not rise along with it?
But in An Wuyang's social circle, a BMW that had only just entered the million-yuan price range truly was not worthy of being used to show off. In their circle, million-yuan vehicles were merely the entry level.
To show off in An Wuyang's social circle, one had to start with at least a Porsche 911—and not the basic model of the Porsche 911.
An Wuyang refused the vehicle handover ceremony, rejected Li Jia's WeChat friend request, and also declined the invitation to stay at Baosheng 5S Store for lunch. He drove away directly in his newly registered BMW M3.
While on the road, An Wuyang used the car's onboard system to call Xia Yuqing.
After waiting for nearly half a minute, Xia Yuqing finally answered.
"Classmate Xia," An Wuyang greeted her first.
Xia Yuqing replied a little awkwardly, "I'm here."
"Are you free at noon? Let's have lunch together," An Wuyang invited her.
"Huh?" Xia Yuqing froze for a moment.
"Are you busy?" An Wuyang asked in return.
"No, no." Xia Yuqing hurriedly denied it. "I just mean, Classmate An, do you really want to have lunch with me?"
"It's just lunch. What do you mean, 'really' or not?" An Wuyang replied in exasperation.
"Okay, okay! Then where should we go for lunch?" Xia Yuqing asked.
"Is there anything you want to eat?" An Wuyang asked while adjusting the navigation route and setting the destination to Zhuyu Garden, the residential community where Xia Yuqing lived.
Xia Yuqing thought for a moment before replying, "I don't know what I want to eat either, but I don't want hot pot, barbecue, or Jianghu cuisine. I also don't want anything too spicy or greasy."
"I've gained two pounds recently, so I need to control my weight. Otherwise, I might not be able to fit through the school gates when the semester starts," Xia Yuqing added.
Xia Yuqing had been admitted to Magic City Academy of Drama. She had chosen the music and dance studies category, specifically Xia Country Dance Performance, and primarily planned to pursue solo dance performances.
This field placed extremely high demands on one's physique, so Xia Yuqing held herself to equally high standards.
If her weight exceeded the limit, that absolutely would not do!
