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

Chapter 120 WPG0119: A choice of talents! Talents from Tilanqiao!
Hermès' ultra-rare leathers are indeed very rare, and are rarely seen even on the Internet, which shows how rare they are.

For example, elephant skin!

The three-dimensional texture of elephant leather has a sense of vicissitudes of time, and a natural matte feel.

Has anyone seen Hermès bags made from elephant skin?

In recent years, Hermès has rarely used elephant skin to make bags. There are many reasons for this, including protests from animal protection organizations, social pressure, etc.

Therefore, Hermès' elephant leather has become an extremely rare leather, which is rarely advertised or sold publicly, and only some SVIC customers will be notified.

In addition, after purchasing, SVIC customers will also choose to use it in a low-key manner due to pressure from animal protection and social opinion, and few people will publicize it.

Even if it is exposed, they will attribute it to "old bags" produced in the past.

In addition to elephant skin, buffalo skin is also one of Hermès's super rare leathers.

Maybe some people will wonder, it's just cowhide, how can it be considered a rare leather?
However, this 'cow hide' is not that 'cow hide'!
For example, the common Togo leather is bull leather, Epsom leather is also bull leather, and Box leather is calf leather, but these are not buffalo leather.

Buffalo leather is very soft, waterproof and scratch-resistant, and has a certain degree of fire resistance. It is a very rare hidden leather of Hermès and can only be purchased by SVIC.

Hermès also has whale skin!

(This Hermès Constance whale skin Cancan bag was produced in 1973 and photographed in 2023, after 50 years of use)
Didn't expect?

Whale skin feels cool to the touch, has very iconic sunken pores on the surface, and the leather is stiff and will not deform after decades.

However, due to factors related to animal protection laws and public pressure on whaling, Hermès has not launched any bags made of whale skin in recent years. There is even little news about Hermès whale skin on the Internet.

Even if there is relevant information, it is usually bags from decades ago, and there are no recent new bags.

After all, the production of a whale skin bag requires the killing of two young beluga whales, and Hermès cannot withstand such public pressure!
In addition, there are leathers that Hermès has clearly discontinued, such as anteater leather.

It was under the dual pressure of animal protection laws and public opinion that Hermès announced that it would stop producing this thing.

The second ultra-rare leather to be discontinued is sheepskin cut leather. This leather material is made by stacking sheepskin layer by layer and then cutting it vertically. It has also been announced to be discontinued by Hermès.

As for the mink and leopard print styles, they have basically been discontinued.

There is also an even more cruel version of cow fetal hair, which An Wuyang doesn’t even want to introduce. It’s better to know less about these things.

Finally, there is one leather that sounds outrageous, but it is indeed a super rare leather of Hermès, that is pig skin.

That's right!

Pig skin!

Hermès produces very little pig skin every year, and it is indeed an ultra-rare leather, but the word "ultra-rare" should be put in quotation marks.

Because it has so many advantages!

For example: afraid of oil!

For example: afraid of water!

And afraid of dirt!

And afraid of scratches!
As for not being wear-resistant, isn’t that the most basic thing?

What’s more important is that this thing absorbs water, is oil-loving, and is resistant to dyes!

What is stained by jeans is a daily occurrence for Hermès pigskin.

For example, if you get greasy bags from hot pot, Hermès will definitely tell you: Dear, please don’t bring our pigskin bags into the hot pot restaurant.

If the above problems can be avoided, then what if your palms sweat when carrying an Hermès pigskin bag? The Hermès pigskin bag will absorb the sweat from your palms, causing the handle to change color. What do you say about this?
An Wuyang can only say that those who bought Hermès pigskin bags are definitely leeks!
Li Wenya once had the opportunity to buy the pigskin version of BKC's three major King Kong bags, but Li Wenya did not hesitate to find an excuse to give up.

"I became friends with the store manager of Hermès," Li Wenya explained.

"Ah?" An Wuyang was puzzled. "How did you do that?"

Hermès store managers do have great power, but they also have high KPI tasks. Generally speaking, it is difficult to obtain the purchase qualification of BKC bags through Hermès store managers.

After all, it concerns the other party's career and interests, so how could they easily infringe on their own interests because of so-called "friendship"?

Li Wenya explained, "Of course it's the Snow-Cleansing Essence Repair Cream."

It turns out it’s an exchange of interests, then it’s okay!
"Will I get any benefits if I use your membership account?" An Wuyang asked.

Li Wenya responded, "If you buy men's clothing or men's bags, you will get preferential treatment no matter which account you use."

This is true!
In addition to the popular women's bags, what else is Hermès selling well?

An Hermès scarf?
Although Hermès scarves sell very well, is it possible that they are bundled products?

There are so many scarves as accessories, so it seems that Hermès scarves have a lot of sales.

"I pushed your WeChat to my sales. My sales looks a bit good, but you know what I mean, right?" Li Wenya reminded.

"I understand!" An Wuyang responded.

It’s not that An Wuyang is not picky about food, he is very picky!
Normally, if there is no special reason, An Wuyang prefers to be the advanced brother.

If there really is a special reason, An Wuyang wouldn't mind being Prime Minister Cao.

Prime Minister Cao is not some latecomer!

An Wuyang's phone made a notification sound. He took out his phone to check and saw that an account with the nickname 'Xiao Li' had added him, with an additional message 'Hermès Sales'.

"Xiao Li?" An Wuyang asked.

Li Wenya answered affirmatively, "Yes."

Only then did An Wuyang approve Xiaoli's friend request.

'Xiao Li: Hello, Mr. An, I am Xiao Li serving Ms. Li Wenya.'

Serve Ms. Li Wenya?

This Hermès salesperson has some skills, it seems that the pre-job training was very thorough.

'Safe and sound: Hello.'

'Xiao Li: May I ask what pre-order targets Mr. An has? I would like to know in advance so that I can better serve Mr. An.'

An Wuyang looked at the message sent by the other party and replied with an intention to make things difficult.

'An Wuyang: I don't have any pre-order goals. I originally planned to earn some points for my mom, but you know the situation.'

'Xiao Li: If Mr. An has time to visit our store, I would like to recommend men's clothing and accessories from Hermès to him. I wonder if Mr. An likes these products?'

When facing An Wuyang's difficulties, Xiaoli completely avoided the sensitive information raised by An Wuyang and continued to sell products as if nothing had happened.

Should An Wuyang say that Hermès’ pre-job training is excellent, or that Xiaoli has outstanding sales skills?
'An Wuyang: I'll come when I have time, it's getting late.'

'Xiao Li: I look forward to serving Mr. An at any time. I won't disturb Mr. An's rest.'

After An Wuyang and Xiaoli finished their conversation, he told Li Wenya about the conversation between the two sides.

Li Wenya said jokingly, "Xiao Li is the gold medal salesperson of Hermes. Do you think so?"

An Wuyang spread his hands and said, "This salesperson is really good."

As soon as he finished speaking, the fingerprint lock on the door made an unlocking sound.

An Wuyang spoke first, "Dad, you're back?"

An Huchun, who had just stepped into the entrance hall, responded a little tiredly, "Yeah, I'm back." An Wuyang first poured a glass of water for An Huchun, and then handed it to him after An Huchun walked into the living room.

An Huchun also handed the briefcase to An Wuyang.

After An Huchun finished drinking the water and sat on the sofa, An Wuyang asked, "What's the situation at the R&D center?"

An Huchun sighed, "Not good!"

"Three people resigned today, including Jia Shiyu, a T8 position in the bitter orange blossom essential oil R&D team, Niu Jingchen, a T3 technical expert in the Centella asiatica physiological R&D team, and Ma Junchi, a T4 elite technical engineer." An Huchun explained in detail.

"They have already submitted their resignation letters and don't even need the group to pay their salary for that month," An Huchun added.

"You don't even want this month's salary?" An Wuyang sighed, "You're determined to leave!"

"Yes!" An Huchun seconded.

If he doesn't even want that month's salary, then of course he is determined to leave.

"Where are the others?" An Wuyang asked worriedly.

The resignation of the three people was equivalent to tearing a hole in the personnel structure of the R&D center of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group and setting an example for others.

As the saying goes, the power of example is infinite!
"How much money did SK2 offer to poach our employees?" An Wuyang asked.

"It is rumored that Jia Shiyu, who is at the T8 level, has had his monthly salary increased to 7, which is equivalent to 5 more than ours," An Huchun explained.

"The monthly salary of T4 elite technical engineers has increased from 5 to 30, which is equivalent to an annual salary of 360 million," An Huchun added.

"As for T3 technical experts, their annual salary has increased from 100 million to 600 million. This increase is huge, and I can understand their choice." An Huchun sighed.

An Wuyang nodded slightly, "I can understand that as well."

No one is perfect!

There is really nothing wrong with choosing to change jobs when faced with such salary temptation.

There is a classic line on the Internet: 'You can't stop me from making a better choice, right? '

"I estimate that more people will choose to resign tomorrow." An Wuyang made a reasonable guess.

An Huchun nodded, "I have the same feeling, I just hope the number is not too large."

An Huchun added, "I have planned to start a new round of recruitment. Now is the graduation season, so we can select a group of fresh graduates for training."

Li Wenya continued, "I have already designed a new labor contract, including a complete confidentiality agreement and non-compete agreement. Next time we encounter such a situation, we will be able to prevent other brands from poaching our employees."

"Should we sign new contracts with those old employees who stay?" An Wuyang asked. Of course, he hoped that the old employees who stayed would also sign new contracts.

The reason for asking was actually to let An Huchun hear it.

Li Wenya understood An Wuyang's subtext. She looked at An Huchun and replied, "This matter is decided by your father."

An Huchun also understood the subtext, he sighed, "Then sign a new contract."

"However, when signing the new contract, I decided to give a renewal bonus of no less than three months' salary according to different job levels," An Huchun added.

"I have no objection." An Wuyang had no intention of interfering.

Li Wenya did not object either.

It’s just a renewal bonus, what’s the problem with spending a little more money?
After An Huchun talked about the renewal bonus, he looked at An Wuyang belatedly and asked, "Why are you at home?"

"?" An Wuyang said he had many questions.

"You came back yesterday, and you came back again today. Your style is a bit strange!" An Huchun added.

An Wuyang was too tired to complain, so he changed the subject, "Dad, give me back my car keys."

"I'll open it for two more days." An Huchun refused directly.

"What's so good about driving a broken BMW?" An Wuyang deliberately teased.

An Huchun responded, "You can pretend to be poor."

"."An Wuyang was speechless.

He originally thought that An Huchun liked the handling of the BMW and the powerful power of the M3 Thunder Edition, but who knew it was for this reason?

"Our group is attracting a lot of attention right now because of the issue of the Gentle Snow Awakening Essence Repair Cream, so it's best to keep a low profile," An Huchun explained.

An Wuyang was too tired to complain.

good good!
Li Wenya called BMW a "broken" car, and An Huchun used it as a tool to pretend to be poor. They both knew how to play with BMW!

An Huchun added, "Your car still doesn't look like a 3 Series. I'm even planning to buy an Audi A4L. Doesn't it feel more low-key?"

"Dad, I advise you to be kind. The tax department won't watch your performance." An Wuyang reminded.

An Huchun responded calmly, "I know, but we have talents from Tilanqiao in our family."

"Ah?" An Wuyang was stunned for a moment.

Are there such elites in Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group?

"Let me tell you a piece of gossip about Old Chen." An Huchun brought up old things.

"When your grandfather was in charge of the group, Lao Chen came to apply for the finance position. At that time, your grandfather asked a question: if a fire was about to break out in the finance department, what should Lao Chen do?" An Huchun explained.

"What did Uncle Chen answer?" An Wuyang was curious.

"Old Chen said at the time that he ran away with the monitor in his arms." An Huchun replied with a smile.

An Wuyang complained, "Is it possible?"

"I remember that computers are important accounting equipment and must be properly kept." An Wuyang explained.

"That's what I asked at the time," An Huchun replied.

"Then" An Wuyang was puzzled.

"Old Chen answered at the time and said he knew," An Huchun responded.

good good!
Aren’t these people really that good?

Also, what does it mean to be prepared for a fire?
"What about our group?" An Wuyang hesitated. Could it be that their Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group is still engaged in tax evasion?

"Although Lao Chen is very capable and we have talented people from Tilanqiao, our group has never engaged in tax evasion," An Huchun explained.

"Our group is a [Model Taxpayer]!" An Huchun said proudly.

An Wuyang was too tired to complain. He thought that their Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group was engaged in tax evasion!
But if you think about it, it seems impossible, after all, An Huchun's moral bottom line is too high.

"I pretend to be poor in front of my suppliers. Some suppliers are too outrageous. The suppliers of raw materials for the Ningzhi Ruoxue series of products are still raising prices!" An Huchun complained.

Li Wenya continued, "Other well-known cosmetics brands are also behind this. They are targeting us in all aspects."

"There really is no way to survive?" An Wuyang complained.

"If you find an enemy that poses a great threat, will you leave him a chance to live?" Li Wenya asked back.

An Wuyang thought for a moment before responding, "I think I'll kill him in the cradle!"

"We at Wugengtian are lucky enough. At least we have passed the cradle period, and the Ningzhi Ruoxue series of products have been successfully developed. At least we have the ability to resist." Li Wenya explained.

That seems to be right?
