Everyone present was shrewd, and seeing Zhou Ming's reaction, they didn't ask any more questions.
Lu Anyang talked about some things he had encountered with foreign companies.
He actually wanted to ask for Lin Wanwan's opinion. Over the years, he had witnessed Lin Wanwan's investment acumen and business talent.
Lin Wanwan tilted her head, "Does this mean you're interested in medicine, brother?"
Lu Anyang raised an eyebrow. He hadn't mentioned investing in the pharmaceutical company at all. He smiled at her and said, "You know how to focus on the important things."
"My brother said he investigated several industries, but the data from pharmaceutical companies was explained in the most detail."
"How's that pharmaceutical company you started doing? I haven't asked you about it yet."
"That company currently only makes medical devices."
Lu Anyang took a sip of tea, leaned back on the sofa, and looked at her. "Currently? You mean you'll be doing research and development in the future? Or are you already doing it, but haven't produced any results yet?"
Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Well, nothing can be hidden from you, big brother. There's a project under research and another that's already in clinical trials and will be finished soon. Everything is going smoothly so far, and I hope it will be a great start."
"Sigh, I thought I could catch the trend, but you beat me to it."
"Is my brother making fun of me?"
"How about it? Want to cooperate again? We can merge your pharmaceutical company into the group, and I'll poach people from overseas for you."
Lin Wanwan chuckled, "Why does Big Brother always want to reap the benefits without sowing?"
Lu Anyang wasn't angry. "How am I reaping the benefits without working? You should know better than me how profitable pharmaceutical companies are, but the investment is even greater. Are you working on several projects at the same time? You should have enough funds, but you probably can't manage the staff, right?"
"If we cooperate, you bring your company and I into the partnership, it'll be a powerful alliance. I'll give you what you want, and you'll give me what I want—a win-win situation."
Lin Wanwan laughed non-stop, leaning lazily on Lu Feng's shoulder and saying, "How do you know I'm not popular anymore, big brother? How do you know I didn't poach those technical talents from abroad?"
Lu Anyang was taken aback when he saw her sly smile. He remembered that before he went abroad, Lin Wanwan had been extremely busy, constantly making phone calls to various people.
"Did you contact that biology PhD?"
Lin Wanwan blinked and glanced at her watch.
"His plane will land soon."
Lu Anyang chuckled, "This time you're more than a step ahead of me. I was wondering why I kept trying to contact him before he refused. I was even thinking of talking to you before trying to persuade him to come back. I offered him a very high salary, but I still couldn't get him to come back. How much did you spend? And he's willing to come back so quickly."
Lin Wanwan blinked. "Some people may not care that much about the salary, as long as it's higher than abroad. When it comes to gifts, you have to say they touch people's hearts, right, brother?"
"Hahahaha, now that you say that, I'm even more curious. Could you give me a little hint?"
Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Anyway, the contract has already been signed, so there's no harm in saying anything."
"You're so fast? The contract is already signed?" Lu Anyang looked at her in surprise. That biology PhD was only about fifty years old and very arrogant. He hadn't even met her in person while he was abroad.
"Of course, there are bound to be problems if we don't sign a contract. I showed him the people that the Dream Building Foundation has funded over the years and promised him that as long as he agrees to join the company, we will set up a special project to fund students with dreams of biology and build a biological experiment incubation base, which will be free for those students. However, those students must be recommended by Elder Zeng or have real ability."
Lu Anyang was stunned again. "This is no small sum of money."
Lin Wanwan nodded, "Of course I know that. That's what Elder Zeng said too. I used to donate 20% of my annual income to the foundation, and now I'm going to donate 40% of my annual income."
Everyone present, except Lu Feng, looked at her in surprise.
Zhou Ming was stunned for a long time. "Forty percent?"
Lin Wanwan has a lot of assets; apart from Lu Anyang, probably no one present is as rich as her.
Even Jiang Shao couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, isn't forty percent too exaggerated? This is all money you've worked so hard to earn."
Lu Anyang didn't speak, just kept looking at this woman who was only in her thirties, feeling that he needed to re-evaluate her.
Jiang Dongsheng couldn't help but ask again, "Um... Sister-in-law, if I may be so bold as to ask, how much is forty percent of your annual income?"
Even Lu Anyang laughed this time, "I can't calculate the exact amount, but I know that Wanwan has trained a private asset manager."
Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Anyway, the foundation helps people in need. Even without Mr. Zeng's incident, I was planning to donate more money, but probably not as much."
Looking at their expressions, Lin Wanwan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Why do you all have that expression?"
Lu Anyang snapped out of his reverie and said, "Shall we discuss the cooperation again?"
Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "What problems could there be with the cooperation? Even if my brother hadn't said anything, I would have talked to you about it. One plus one is greater than two, and besides, my brother is also a very good business partner."
Lu Anyang also laughed and said, "Then it seems we need to reconsider your shareholding in the group."
Lin Wanwan blinked, "Then let's see how sincere Big Brother is."
When Song Lanzhi came to our house for lunch, the group was still talking about work.
"Stop talking, stop talking. Look how tired Wanwan is. Let's eat."
Lin Wanwan stepped forward and took her arm. "Mom still loves me the most. I'm starving. Let's go eat."
That night, Lu Feng held her close and said, "When you came back to your room just now, my brother kept praising you to me."
"What did you praise me for?"
"So, I say that it is my blessing to be able to marry you."
Lin Wanwan nestled in his arms and laughed, "Big brother is right, you have to cherish me."
Lu Feng lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "You are the treasure of our whole family."
Thinking about what his older brother had just said, Lu Feng felt like laughing.
“My older brother just comforted me, telling me not to mind that I donated so much money. I told him I already knew, and that he had discussed it with me before.”
"Hahahaha, you're going to drive my brother crazy."
This was just a minor incident for Lin Wanwan, but it was quite a shock to Zhou Ming and the others.
Later, Lin Wanwan led her people to discuss the merger with Lu Anyang.
At the end of the year, an agreement was finally reached to merge the pharmaceutical company into the group.
The end of the year is the busiest time for Lin Wanwan. In addition to her work at her company and the group's affairs, she also has a fundraising gala for her foundation.
This year's fundraising gala went very well, raising more than double the amount raised in previous years.
Lin Wanwan was resting at home that day, and I was reading a book on the sofa in my room with a blanket covering my legs.
Startled by the sudden opening of the door, she looked up and saw Lin Xiaohai.
She exclaimed in surprise, "Little brother? Why are you back?"
"Sis, I just got off the plane and came straight to see you without even going home."
