Chapter 120 WPG0119: Choice of resentment! The talents of Tilanqiao!
Hermès' ultra-rare leathers are indeed very rare, even on the Internet, which goes to show how rare they are.
Like elephant skin!
The three-dimensional texture of elephant skin has a sense of vicissitudes accumulated over time, as well as a natural frosted 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, pressure from public opinion, etc.
Therefore, Hermès's elephant skin has become an ultra-rare leather, which is almost never publicized and sold to the outside world, and only some SVIC customers are notified.
In addition, after SVIC customers purchase it, they will also choose to use it in a low-key manner due to pressure from animal protection and public opinion, and few people will publicize it publicly.
Even if it is exposed, it can be dismissed as an "old bag" produced in the past.
In addition to elephant skin, buffalo leather is also one of Hermès’ ultra-rare leathers.
Some people may wonder, it’s just ‘cowhide’, what kind of rare leather is it?
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. These are not buffalo leather.
Buffalo leather is very soft, waterproof and scratch-proof, 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 sells whale skin!
(This Hermès Constance whale skin bag was produced in 1973, photographed in 2023, and has been used for 50 years)
Didn't you expect that?
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 the pressure of public opinion on whaling, Hermès has not launched a bag made of whale skin in recent years, and there is even very 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 recently made bags at all.
After all, a whale skin bag requires the killing of two young beluga whales to complete the production, and Hermès cannot withstand such pressure from public opinion!
In addition, there are leathers that Hermès has clearly discontinued, such as anteater leather.
This thing can be regarded as the dual pressure of animal protection laws and public opinion, which directly caused Hermès to announce the suspension of production.
The second ultra-rare leather to be discontinued is sheepskin. This leather material is made by stacking sheepskins layer by layer and then cutting them lengthwise. It was also announced to be discontinued by Hermès.
As for the mink fur style and leopard print style, they are basically discontinued.
There is also a more cruel version of cow fetal hair, which An Wuyang doesn’t want to introduce. It’s better to know less about these things.
Finally, there is another leather that sounds outrageous, but is indeed Hermès’ ultra-rare leather, which is pigskin.
That's right!
Pigskin!
Hermès produces very little pigskin every year, and it is indeed ultra-rare leather, but this 'ultra-rare' must be in quotation marks.
Because it has so many ‘advantages’!
For example: Afraid of oil!
Another example: Afraid of water!
Also afraid of getting dirty!
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 is also water-absorbent, lipophilic, and stainable with dyes!
What is stained by jeans, for Hermès pigskin, that is an everyday situation.
For another example, if you eat hot pot and it is stained with oil, Hermès will definitely tell you: Dear, please do not bring our pigskin bags into the hot pot restaurant.
If the above problems can be avoided, then what if your palms get sweaty when carrying a Hermès pigskin bag, and the Hermès pigskin bag will absorb the sweat from your palms, causing the handle to discolor?
An Wuyang can only say that the guy who bought the Hermès pigskin bag is definitely a leek!
Li Wenya once had the opportunity to buy the pigskin version of BKC's three diamond bags, but Li Wenya did not hesitate to find an excuse to give up.
"I became friends with the Hermès store manager." Li Wenya explained.
"Ah?" An Wuyang wondered, "How did you do it?"
Hermès store managers do have great power, but they are also burdened with very high KPI tasks. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to obtain BKC bag purchase qualifications through Hermès store managers.
After all, it is related to the other party's career and interests, so how can one easily infringe on one's own interests because of the so-called 'friendship'?
Li Wenya explained, “Of course it’s the Ningzhi Ruoxue Awakening Essence Repair Cream.”
It turns out it’s an exchange of interests, so that’s okay!
"Do I get preferential treatment when 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 with any account."
This is true!
In addition to the best-selling women's bags, what else is Hermès best-selling?
Hermès scarf?
Although Hermès scarves sell a lot, is it possible that Hermès scarves are bundled products?
There are too many scarves as distribution products, so it seems that Hermès’ scarves sell a lot.
"I pushed your WeChat to my sales. My sales is a bit good, but you understand, right?" Li Wenya reminded.
"Understood!" An Wuyang responded.
It's not like An Wuyang isn't picky about food, he is picky!
Normally, An Wuyang prefers to be the advanced brother if there is no special reason.
If there were really special reasons, An Wuyang wouldn't mind becoming Prime Minister Cao.
Prime Minister Cao is not some latecomer!
An Wuyang's cell phone beeped, and he took it out to check. An account nicknamed "Xiao Li" was added to him, and the message "Hermès for sale" was added.
"Xiao Li?" An Wuyang asked.
Li Wenya answered affirmatively, "Yes."
An Wuyang then approved Xiaoli's application to add a friend.
‘Xiao Li: Hello, Mr. An, I am Xiao Li serving Ms. Li Wenya. ’
Serve Ms. Li Wenya?
There is something special about this Hermès sales, and it seems that the pre-job training is in place.
‘An Wuyang: Hello. ’
‘Xiao Li: Does Mr. An have any pre-order targets? I’ll find out in advance so that I can better serve Mr. An. ’
An Wuyang looked at the message sent by the other party and replied deliberately.
'An Wuyang: I don't have any pre-order target. I originally planned to give my mother some points, but you know the situation. ’
‘Xiao Li: If Mr. An has time to visit our store, I will recommend men’s clothing and accessories from our Hermès family to Mr. An. I wonder if Mr. An likes these products? ’
When Xiaoli faced An Wuyang's difficulties, she completely ignored the sensitive information An Wuyang put forward and promoted the product as if nothing happened.
Should An Wuyang say that Hermès' pre-job training is excellent, or should he say that Xiaoli's sales ability is outstanding?
'An Wuyang: I'll come over when I have time. It's getting late. ’
‘Xiao Li: I look forward to serving Mr. An at any time, and I won’t disturb Mr. An’s rest. ’
After An Wuyang and Xiaoli finished their exchange, he told Li Wenya about the situation of their exchange.
Li Wenya said jokingly, "You think Xiaoli is the gold medal salesperson of Hermès?"
An Wuyang spread his hands and said, "There is indeed something to this sale."
After he finished speaking, the fingerprint lock on the door made an unlocking sound.
An Wuyang spoke first, "Dad, are you back?"
An Huchun, who had just stepped into the entrance hall, responded slightly tiredly, "Well, I'm back." An Wuyang first got a glass of water for An Huchun, and then handed it over to An Huchun when he walked into the living room.
An Huchun also handed the briefcase to An Wuyang.
After An Huchun finished drinking the water and sat back on the sofa, An Wuyang asked, "How is the situation in the R&D center?"
An Huchun sighed, "Not good!"
"Three people resigned today, including Jia Shiyu, who is in the T8 rank of the Bitter Orange Essential Oil R&D team, Niu Jingchen, a T3 technical expert in the Centella asiatica physical R&D team, and Ma Junchi, a T4 elite technical engineer." An Huchun explained in detail.
"They have submitted their resignation letters and do not even need the group to pay their salary for the month." An Huchun added.
"You don't want that month's salary?" An Wuyang sighed, "You are determined to leave!"
"Yes!" An Huchun agreed.
If he doesn't even want his salary for that month, he is naturally determined to leave.
"Where are the others?" An Wuyang asked worriedly.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The resignation of the three people is equivalent to tearing a hole in the personnel structure of Wugentian Pharmaceutical Group's R&D center and setting an example for others.
As the saying goes, the power of role models is endless!
"How much money did SK2 give to poach employees?" An Wuyang asked.
"Jia Shiyu, who is at T8 level, is rumored to have his monthly salary increased to 70,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 50,000 yuan more monthly salary than ours." An Huchun explained.
"The monthly salary of T4 elite technical engineers has been increased from 50,000 to 300,000, which is equivalent to an annual salary of 3.6 million." An Huchun added.
"As for T3 technical experts, their annual salary has been increased from 1 million to 6 million. This is a huge increase, and I can understand their choice." An Huchun sighed.
An Wuyang nodded slightly, "I can understand the same."
No one is a saint!
There is really no problem in choosing to change jobs when faced with such salary temptations.
There is a classic line on the Internet: ‘You can’t stop me from making better choices, can you? ’
"I estimate that more people will choose to leave their jobs tomorrow." An Wuyang guessed reasonably.
An Huchun nodded, "I also have such a hunch, I just hope the number won't be too many."
An Huchun added, "I have planned to start a new round of recruitment. It happens to be the graduation season, and we can select a group of fresh graduates to train."
Li Wenya answered on the side, "I have designed a brand new labor contract, including a complete confidentiality agreement and a non-competition agreement. Next time we encounter such a situation, we will have a way to prevent other brands from poaching us."
"Those old employees who are staying, do we want to sign new contracts?" An Wuyang asked. Of course, he hoped that the old employees who stayed would also sign new contracts.
The reason why I asked was actually because I wanted to tell An Huchun.
Li Wenya understood An Wuyang's subtext. She looked at An Huchun and responded, "This matter is decided by your father."
An Huchun also understood the subtext, and 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 ranks." An Huchun added.
"I have no objection." An Wuyang had no intention of interfering.
Li Wenya did not object.
It’s just a renewal bonus, so what’s the problem with spending a little more money?
After An Huchun talked about the renewal bonus, he looked at An Wuyang belatedly, "Why are you at home?"
"?" An Wuyang said that 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 unable to complain, so he changed the subject, "Dad, give me my car keys."
"I'll stay open for two more days." An Huchun refused directly.
"What's so good about 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 BMW and the strong power of the M3 Thunder Edition, but who knew it was because of this?
"Our group is attracting a lot of attention because of the Ningzhi Ruoxue Awakening Essence Repair Cream, so it's best to keep a low profile." An Huchun explained.
An Wuyang was unable to complain.
OK OK!
Li Wenya called BMW a "broken" person, and An Huchun even regarded BMW as a weapon to "pretend to be poor." The two of them knew how to play with BMW!
An Huchun added, "Your car still doesn't look like a 3 Series. I even plan to buy an Audi A4L. Does 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 our family has talents from Tilanqiao."
"Ah?" An Wuyang was stunned for a moment.
Does Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group still have such elites?
"Let me tell you a piece of gossip about Lao Chen." An Huchun brought up old things.
"When your grandfather was in charge of the group, Lao Chen came to apply for a financial position. At that time, your grandpa asked a question, what should Lao Chen do if a fire breaks out in the financial department?" An Huchun explained.
"How 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, "Can it still be like this?"
"I remember that computers are important accounting equipment and must be kept properly." An Wuyang explained.
"That's what I asked at the time," An Huchun replied.
"That" An Wuyang was confused.
"Old Chen's original answer was that he knew." An Huchun responded.
OK OK!
These people are too good at it, right?
Also, what does it mean to prepare for a fire?
"Then our group" An Wuyang hesitated. Could it be that their Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group still engages in tax evasion?
"Although Lao Chen is very powerful and although we have talents from Tilanqiao, our group has never engaged in tax evasion." An Huchun explained.
"Our group is a [model tax enterprise]!" An Huchun is proud.
An Wuyang was unable to complain. He thought that their Wugentian Pharmaceutical Group had committed tax evasion!
But thinking about it, it seems impossible. After all, An Huchun's moral bottom line is too high.
"I pretend to be poor just to show the suppliers. Some suppliers are outrageous. The raw material suppliers of the Ningzhi Ruoxue series of products are still increasing their prices!" An Huchun complained.
Li Wenya answered, "There are also other well-known cosmetic brands behind this matter, and those guys are targeting us in all directions."
"Is there really no way to survive?" An Wuyang complained.
"If you found an enemy who was a great threat, would you leave him a way to survive?" Li Wenya asked.
An Wuyang thought for a moment before responding, "I'll probably strangle him in the cradle!"
"We are lucky enough on the fifth day of the morning. At least we have passed the cradle period. The Ningzhi Ruoxue series of products have been successfully developed, and at least we have the ability to resist." Li Wenya explained.
That seems right?
