Zell glanced at Isaac before he glanced at Charlie. Only then did he finally realize that Charlie was actually extremely capable!Even Isaac was being so respectful toward Charlie. Hadn’t he barked up the wrong tree this time?!At this time, Isaac turned around and looked at Zell before he said coldly, “You really want to disobey and go against Master Wade’s words, right? If that is the case, I will just ask for all of your supermarket chains, your properties, your cars, and your bank and stock accounts to be sealed indefinitely! I will make sure that your family is left with nothing at all, and all of you will have to go out and beg on the streets for food in the future!”When Zell heard this, he panicked and said to Charlie, “Master Wade! Master Wade, I was wrong! A magnanimous and great man like you should not remember the offenses committed by someone as lowly as me. I beg you, please do not hold it against me.”Charlie smiled before he said, “I never intended to hold anything
Zell knew that he would definitely not be able to afford to provoke Isaac. Hence, he could only give in and choose to compromise at this moment.It was truly difficult for him to accept the fact that he would be marrying his daughter off to Turk. However, he felt that instead of angering Isaac and making his whole family suffer, he could only choose to sacrifice his own daughter’s interest in exchange for the safety and well-being of their entire family. When Isaac saw that Zell had finally agreed to Charlie’s proposal, he snorted coldly before he said, “You should have just agreed to Master Wade’s proposal instead of talking so much nonsense, right?”Zell could only nod his head repeatedly as he said, “Chairman Cameron, you are right. I will not speak any more nonsense in the future. Please allow me to retain my membership…”Isaac ignored him before he turned around to look at Charlie and asked respectfully, “Master Wade, what do you think of this?”Charlie smiled slightly befor
She knew that Isaac had a very strong and powerful background. She also knew that he was one of a kind and that he was capable of doing anything he wanted to do. If he really wanted to drive her and her entire family out of Aurous Hill, he would definitely be able to do it.That way, instead of being able to defend her own marriage, she would only be destroying and causing harm to her own natal family.Her natal family did not have many abilities in the first place. Now, they could finally be considered a little well-off in society. If they were all forced to leave their hometown because of her, their lives would definitely be a complete mess.No matter what it was, she could not possibly harm both herself and her natal family too. Otherwise, wouldn’t her entire family curse and blame her for their predicament?Just as she was about to make the painful decision of accepting Charlie’s proposal, she suddenly saw Magnolia who was standing next to him.At this time, Lilian seemed to h
Magnolia was shocked by Charlie’s decisiveness.At the same time, she also realized that Charlie could not possibly give her this much face.Therefore, she could only look at Lilian with an apologetic expression on her face as she said, “I am sorry, auntie. There is nothing I can do about this…”Lilian never expected her life-saving straw to be unable to do anything to help her at all. So, she turned around to look at Draco before she cried and said, “Draco, you have to save your mom! Draco, you know that it was not easy for your mom to raise you up, right?”In fact, Draco also felt very uncomfortable at this time. After all, no matter what it was, Lilian was still his mother. He did not want his mother to be forced to divorce his father and subsequently get driven out of Aurous Hill.Moreover, he also did not want his father to marry and give him a stepmother who was about the same age as him after divorcing his mother.Thus, he could only lower his dignity as he knelt in front
Zell hurriedly bowed as he said, “Don Albert, please wait for a while. I will go and talk to my daughter for a minute. We were just discussing this matter amongst ourselves here, so she does not know anything about this yet…”Albert looked at his watch before he said coldly, “I’ll give you three minutes. I will not let you off so easily if you dare to cause any more delay!”Isaac also chimed in sharply, “Zell, let me warn you. You’d better not come up with any sort of tricks from now on. If I do not see the marriage certificate between Turk and your daughter, you are done for!”Zell nodded repeatedly. After that, he said in a panic, “Chairman Cameron and Don Albert, the both of you do not have to worry about anything. I would not dare to come up with any tricks at all.”Albert kicked him directly before he scolded him further, “What is the use of you making the promise to us? Go and promise Master Wade instead!”Zell hurriedly crawled in front of Charlie before he said, “Master Wa
”What?!”Juliet and her mother almost collapsed on the spot when they heard his words.His wife scolded angrily, “Zell! Are you a dotard?! Didn’t you say that you were going to marry Juliet off to Draco from the Scotson family? Why are you marrying her off to Draco’s father, Turk, instead? Turk is about the same age as you! How could you possibly allow our daughter to marry him?”“That’s right, dad!” Juliet also chimed in angrily, “Even if I am pregnant, that does not mean that I have to marry a nasty old man, right?!”Zell felt extremely embarrassed as he looked at his wife and daughter. He slapped himself in the face repeatedly before he cried and said, “It is all my fault! This is all my fault! I was befuddled and ended up provoking people that I should not provoke. Now, the other party has already called Don Albert and Chairman Cameron to come over here. Both of them only gave me one solution, which is to allow Juliet to marry Draco’s father. Otherwise, our family will be drive
Meanwhile, in an effort to get Charlie to spare her and let her off, Lilian had knelt on the ground and kowtowed as she knocked her head on the ground repeatedly until it was already swollen. However, Charlie did not buy it at all.Charlie knew what kind of person she was.Lilian was simply a brute! She was even more evil and vicious compared to his mother-in-law, Elaine.Although Elaine had always wanted his wife, Claire, to marry a rich man, at the very least, Elaine had never once thought of marrying her own daughter off to a man with a child.However, Lilian was actually willing to force her son to father someone else’s child just because of a fifty million dollar dowry. She was completely shameless and had no integrity at all.Thus, Charlie was certain that her current repentance was not from deep down within her heart, but simply because she was being forced to do so due to her current situation. If he were to give this kind of woman another chance to make a comeback, she
When he saw that Albert was about to bring this group of people over to the Civil Affairs Bureau, Isaac asked Charlie, “Master Wade, should I tag along and keep an eye on the situation?”Charlie waved his hand and said faintly, “You don’t have to go there. You can just wait here to attend the wedding banquet with me.”Claire had been standing next to him without speaking throughout this entire time. When she saw that everyone had already been taken away, she could not help but ask, “Charlie, we are actually here to attend Magnolia and Draco’s wedding banquet. Don’t you think that the situation with his father seems to be a little inappropriate?”Charlie smiled before he asked her, “Wife, what do you think is appropriate, then? If I do not make sure that Lilian is kicked out of the Scotson family today and if we do not teach the Scotson family a lesson, do you think that your high school classmate will ever be able to enjoy a good and happy life in the future after marrying into the
Helena waved her hand dismissively. "You don't have to. As you mentioned, procuring the hardware for the AI models comes with its own costs. I'd rather take a loss myself than let you suffer. After all, you're already of such an age, and having had a stroke once before. If you end up losing something and it affects your mood, leading to a relapse, wouldn't that make me the bad guy?" "No, no, no!" Harrison, ignoring the subtle mockery, hurried over to Helena with great urgency and reassured, almost desperately, "Buying the hardware for Your Majesty is something we should do. Please accept it." As he said it, he lamented with regret, "Your Highness, I'm old, and my mindset is molded in the conservative mode because of decades of experience, and bargaining is one of them. Nevertheless, please rest assured that we will never again bargain when doing business with you." After experiencing the powerful effect of the Healing Pill, Harrison keenly realized that the pill must be a life-sa
Harrison immediately caught the implication in her words and, with a smile, said, "Your Majesty, you are truly a brilliant negotiator. I've never seen someone so young yet able to control the pace of negotiations so skillfully! With you at the helm, the Nordic royal family is sure to soar to new heights!" Helena smiled and said, "You think too highly of me. I can control the rhythm well because I have a good mentor." "I wonder who your mentor is?" Harrison asked curiously. "I would like to meet him if there is a chance." Helena said lightly, "My mentor prefers to act with a low profile and isn't fond of the vanity that comes with fame, but I believe that you will have the opportunity to meet him in the future." "That would be wonderful!" Harrison replied with a beam. Helena then said, "It's getting late. I'll take my leave now." Harrison nodded. As he saw Helena turn to leave, he remembered something and hurriedly called after her, "Hold on, Your Majesty!" "Yes, Mr. Roths
Seeing Harrison with his head down in deep thought, Helena knew he definitely wouldn't follow the original plan to pass the position of family head to Julien. Sure enough, Harrison lifted his head with a chuckle and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to New York and attend my family meeting to establish the heir. Your presence truly brings us great honor!" Feigning a surprised expression, Helena asked, "Aren't we going to announce Julien's succession today? Why have you changed your mind?" Harrison waved her off and, with a slightly embarrassed smile, said, "Plans can't keep up with changes, and changes always outpace plans. Until this morning, I never imagined I could regain my health. Don't you think so?" Helena smiled slightly. "Your recovery is partly due to Julien's devotion, which seems to have touched God himself." Despite what she said, she couldn't help mumbling under her breath, "Harrison really did change his mind,
The wealth of the Rothschild family had long been beyond the estimation or calculation of outsiders. Over the years, they had made both visible and hidden investments in countless fields. All offshore companies registered in the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands, as long as they remained unlisted, were not required to disclose shareholder information. Among them were numerous companies in which the Rothschild family held shares or even controls. The true value of these holdings was impossible to verify. Even for listed companies, shareholder information was only disclosed in the primary market. The secondary market was bought and held through various channels that were impossible to count. In addition, the Rothschild family had investments in real estate, energy, mining, transportation, and other areas around the world. It could be said that any industry that was at the forefront of the trend could make enormous wealth. In colonial times, Britain was known as the em
Since both Harrison and Helena had reached an agreement, Helena took out a pen and amended the details of the contract. The whole process was recorded, and coupled with Helena's identity as the Nordic Queen and the high traffic on the internet, she was not at all worried that Harrison would go back on his word. After the two sides agreed on the terms of the contract, Harrison wrote his name on the contract, and then the two sides exchanged agreements, and the contract was officially in effect. After everything was settled, Helena put the contract away, turned off the video recording on her phone, and beamed, "It's been a pleasure working together, Mr. Rothschild!" Harrison hastily asked, "Y-Your Majesty, can you please give me the pill now?" "Of course." Helena handed him the pill swiftly and said, "Even though my family doesn't have a lot of money, we always attach great importance to the spirit of the contract." Harrison stretched out his trembling hand and took the pill.
Helena said, "Mr. Harrison, your family is involved in almost all of the institutions that are major shareholders of Nvidia, and you also hold a lot of floating shares in the secondary market. You got these shares very early, and the chips were very low. As Nvidia's stock price has gone up to over 1 trillion, you have made a lot of money." Harrison had just breathed a sigh of relief when he received a concession of 10 billion, so when Helena started to talk about his past, he quickly explained, "Business is business... Whatever we earn from Nvidia shouldn't be mixed with this matter, w-w-wouldn't you agree, Your Majesty?" "Agreed." Helena nodded. "However, since I'm granting you a hundred billion in hardware costs, this absolutely ties back to Nvidia. You'll ultimately need to procure the AI model hardware through them, and as a shareholder, any bulk orders from Nvidia will effectively be you moving money from one hand to the other." "First, even if the listed cost is a hundred b
Helena was not afflicted by Harrison's annoyance. She said lightly, "Calm down, Mr. Harrison. I haven't finished." After a short pause, she continued, "I want your model for my own use, not for any commercial use, which means it will have no impact on your original market. I just want a completely identical replica for my own use. For you, it's nothing more than giving me a copy, a set of hardware, and twenty years of maintenance fee. That shouldn't cost much, right?" "H-How can I be sure that y-you won't use it for commercial purposes?" Helena smiled and said, "That's the specific detail I'll talk about next. You will still pay me 100 billion dollars, but I will sign a contract with you stating that 50 billion dollars of that will be returned to you at the rate of 2.5 billion dollars per year for the next 20 years. "If you stop upgrading and maintaining the model, I will stop the subsequent return of the money." "If I use your AI model for commercial purposes, you can immedi
Helena added, "In fact, Mr. Rothschild, if you were willing to sacrifice yourself for the family's sake, you could save this money and allow it to contribute to the future development of the family. Who knows—perhaps your descendants would even build a monument in your honor." Feeling a sharp pain in his abdomen, Harrison covered his stomach and waved her off. "Alright, t-that's enough. Since it's a deal, y-you name your price, a-and I can negotiate, so let me give you... a one-and-done price." With that, he held up five fingers, resolutely declaring, "50 billion dollars! Not a penny more! Any more, and even if I regain my health, I'll feel miserable. Just thinking about spending hundreds of billions on a single pill might ruin my happiness in old age." The thought of spending hundreds of billions of dollars on a single pill genuinely pained Harrison. Some people, even without money, still acted generous. But some, when they had wealth, became increasingly stingy. Some believ
Harrison initially thought that 100 million dollars was already an astronomical figure and that offering this amount would sufficiently demonstrate his sincerity. However, he never expected that Helena, upon hearing this offer, couldn't even be bothered to negotiate and would turn to leave. He had just felt the tangible effects of the medicine. If one-tenth had such an impact, taking a whole pill would undoubtedly restore him to his former self. He couldn't afford to miss this rare opportunity. So, he quickly called out, "Your Majesty! Whatever the matter is, we can discuss it, b-but why are you leaving?" Helena explained lightly, "I have never liked to negotiate partnerships with ignorant people. If you believe your health is worth only 100 million dollars, then, frankly, what is there left for me to discuss with you? Although I may not have as much money as you, in my view, my health is certainly worth more than that amount." Harrison was rendered speechless. He hadn't ex
