Due to the strong cold air, the temperature in Eastcliff dropped drastically that night. Heavy snow was also falling from the sky.Charlie received a push notification on his cell phone stating that Eastcliff had already issued a blizzard warning from tonight until tomorrow.Charlie was wearing a shirt as he stepped out on the balcony of the guest room. All that he could think of at this time was just his parents.He was finally going to visit his parents’ grave tomorrow.This matter had been bothering him for the past eighteen years.Just as he was lost in his own thoughts, he suddenly heard Quinn’s voice, “Brother Charlie, don’t you feel cold when you’re wearing so little?”Charlie turned around and he saw Quinn. He did not know when she had entered his room and came towards the balcony.Quinn hurriedly explained, “Sorry, Brother Charlie. I had knocked on the door but no one answered the door. So, I simply pushed the door open and came in.”Charlie smiled slightly before he n
After he had found Quinn’s red shoes, he helped her put it on. After that, the scene immediately flashed to the next wedding scene.The wedding in his dream was extremely grand.Charlie’s parents were also there, and they had a very happy and kind smile on their faces.When the wedding music sounded, Yule took Quinn’s hand as they walked up to him. After that, Yule smiled before he handed Quinn’s hand over to him.The both of them then said their wedding vows and exchanged wedding rings before they kissed each other.Following that, the emcee asked Quinn to turn her back around to throw her wedding bouquet to her bridesmaids.However, it was Claire who caught the bouquet!After Claire had caught the bouquet, she did not look happy at all. On the contrary, she had a very grieved and upset expression on her face…Charlie could not help but quiver when he locked eyes with Claire. At this time, he suddenly opened his eyes, only to realize that it was all just a dream.He was shock
After listening to Yule’s explanation, Charlie finally realized the real purpose and reason the second and third son of the Golding family would manipulate the media to release this kind of news. He was also looking forward to it even more now. He could not wait to see the look on the faces of both the two eunuchs when they arrived at the Golding Group a short while later.At this time, Quinn also walked downstairs. When she saw Charlie and her father reading the newspaper together, she asked curiously, “Dad, Brother Charlie, what news are you looking at? Why do both of you look so engrossed in it?”Yule smiled as he said, “Your father has made the headlines today.”“Is that so?” Quinn hurried over to both of them. After glancing at the title, she replied angrily, “This is simply too much, right?! Even if your condition had worsened slightly before this and required you to be hospitalized again, your condition was far from critical! How could the media say this kind of irresponsi
This area had a total of about one thousand square meters, and it included a chairman’s office, a lounge, a private meeting room, as well as a fitness and entertainment room.No ordinary person would be able to enter this area at all.In other words, from the very moment Yule entered the closed garage in the underground parking lot, he had entered an environment where no one would be able to disturb him at all. The only people who could enter this place with him were all his confidants.After Yule had brought Charlie and the group of security guards with him to his office, he immediately picked up the phone on the desk before he said, “Ask Lucius to come over here.”Very soon, a middle-aged man in his forties knocked on the door before he came into the office.When the man saw Yule, he was stunned. It took quite some time for the man to regain his senses before he blurted out, “Chairman, you look so much better than you ever did before! Moreover, I feel that you look even better t
As Adrian was indulging in his wishful thinking, the door of the conference room was pushed open strongly.Immediately afterward, Yule took big steps as he walked into the conference room, and he was glowing with good health and a ruddy complexion on his cheeks. He had a very majestic aura surrounding him.Charlie followed closely behind him as he entered the conference room with Yule.Everyone in the conference room, including Adrian and Rogan, were all shocked and stunned when they saw Yule, who was in high spirits and good health.Adrian and Rogan immediately exchanged glances with one another. Although the two brothers usually did not communicate much with one another, they were both thinking of the same thing at the moment: ‘Our eldest brother was so sick yesterday. How did he suddenly become so healthy and look so radiant today? It was just one night. Isn’t there too much of a difference?’Moreover, the other board members had not seen Yule in a long time. After seeing the n
Charlie, who was sitting beside Yule, could not help but feel a lot of admiration and respect for him when he heard his words.Yule’s remarks might seem to be a demonstration of his weakness, but it was, in truth, a demonstration of his power in front of the board of directors.He had deliberately talked about how he had led the company to continue advancing by leaps and bounds over the past twenty years. On the surface, it seemed as though he wanted everyone to reminisce about the past and their old feelings, but in essence, he was simply reminding this group of people that he was the one who had led the company to push forward by leaps and bounds over the past twenty years. Moreover, he would also be the one to help this company to continue growing and developing rapidly for the next twenty years.If this group of people wanted to exclude him and remove him from his position, they would have to consider the actual development of the company over the past two decades so that they c
As Yule finished speaking in high spirits, filled with mettle, the other people were completely reassured at once. They were not only extremely relieved, but they even had a very excited smile on their faces.A few of them even clapped their hands involuntarily.Hence, everyone else was also filled with enthusiasm, and they followed suit and started applauding as well.In the final analysis, the reason why everyone else had joined the Golding Group was just to make money. They did not want to get engaged in forming any gangs or personal cliques. They simply wanted to follow the guidance of the person who would be able to lead them to continue making more money.Since a miracle had happened to Yule and his illness had already been cured, why wouldn’t they continue supporting him? Why wouldn’t they continue standing by his side so that they could continue to make more money under his leadership? Wasn’t that the best thing to do?The expression on Adrian and Rogan’s faces were extrem
When Adrian saw that his elder brother was agreeing to his proposal so readily, he could not find any more reasons to cause any trouble for him anymore. Thus, he ground his teeth and said, “Okay, then! We will wait for the results of your physical examination to come out later! If you have not fully recovered, I think it would not be suitable for you to continue assuming the role of the chairman of the board due to your physical health and condition. So, you should give up the position of chairman of the board so that a healthy person can take over the position as chairman instead!”Charlie, who had not spoken at all throughout this entire time, simply smiled and said, “If a healthy person is required to fill up the position as chairman of the board, I believe that neither you nor your brother would be able to meet this requirement either.”Adrian yelled out loud, “D*mn it! Stop talking nonsense here! I am in extremely good health!”“Is that so?” Charlie sneered as he said, “If I’ve
Later, after Charlie told Jeremiah over the phone about the joint venture with the Ackers to establish Curtis Autos, the old man was awash with tears, especially after Charlie told him that it was Keith who suggested it. After all, Curtis was his favorite son whose death he could never really get over. Moreover, he once believed that only his family mourned Curtis while the Ackers never did, and he held a grudge over his son's passing. As such, he was surprised that Keith held such great respect toward his late son and didn't hesitate to say yes when Charlie invited him to Aurous Hill to sign an agreement with the Ackers.Still, Charlie wasn't in a hurry to arrange for a specific time, and he was going to let the Ackers sort out the human resources of Godot Autos over a few days. It still wouldn't be too late by then.Moreover, he was keen to allow the buzz to have time to grow so that the automotive industry would be astounded by the joint project between the Ackers and the Wade
Christian was the first to exclaim in approval, "Yes! Curtis Autos sounds wonderful! It has my vote!""Seconded!" Kaiden nodded, pumping the air with his right fist. "I've looked up to Curtis the most, and I absolutely agree with naming the company after him!"Jaxson was nodding too. "Me too!""Yes!" Lulu chirped.Yolden couldn't help agreeing as well. "Curtis Autos is definitely a good name!"Merlin raised his hand gingerly as well. "Quit it with your flattery already," Keith chuckled, and he turned toward Charlie solemnly. "In the end, Curtis is Charlie's father, and the final decision goes to him!"Charlie's eyes were welling up with tears—his parents had been gone for almost three decades, yet he had never thought of dedicating anything to their memory.As such, Keith's suggestion to use Curtis's name for the car company left him thrilled. After all, wouldn't his father's soul be honored if Curtis Autos rocked the country, maybe even the world?With that in mind, he nodd
Charlie also had to agree that this was an opportunity to formally reconcile the Wades and the Ackers.While he couldn't reveal himself just yet, the Wades and the Ackers had been in-laws for years. Even if they had had a dispute for the longest time, restoring good relations made sense now that the Ackers had come to Oskia, and it wouldn't arouse any suspicion.That was why Charlie agreed to it without hesitation, even making a mental note to invite his paternal grandfather, Jeremiah, to Aurous Hill.The old geezers could meet up and clear the air while deciding on the partnership.Yolden was prepared to resign as a professor as well so that he could help the Ackers and Charlie fully develop their automotive company.With a general direction planned, he asked everyone, "Since we're creating a new brand, has anyone come up with a name?"No one was feeling inspired at that moment, but that was when Lulu, who had been silent throughout, said, "Since Charlie and our family are worki
Neither Charlie nor the Ackers expected Yolden's insight to cover all corners.In fact, it felt like the man had a blueprint ready and was only waiting for the time to put it to use.That was why everyone was immensely approving of Yolden and wanted no other man for the job of CEO.Kaeden smiled, "Well, since everyone has agreed, let's put this to rest as soon as possible—this will be a joint investment between our family and the Wades, and Professor Hart will take the post of CEO. Let's all do our best to make this a good one!"Yolden also made up his mind, deciding that he didn't want to let slip a chance to realize his ambitions. "I'll resign from the university after my honeymoon trip. It probably shouldn't be long, and I can get involved in early preparations via teleconference."Charlie nodded. "Then, we can have Uncle Kaeden stay on schedule while I'll ask the Wades to send a representative over to sign a memorandum for the investment."Keith smiled and nodded. "You should
Charlie hadn't been born and raised in Aurous Hill, but he still started living here at the age of eight and was more attached to this place than Eastcliff.If he was going to take part in this automotive investment with the Ackers, he naturally found Aurous Hill the ideal location.Not only would it create a huge number of jobs for Aurous Hill, but it would also rake in much economic flow for the region.Yolden also nodded at his suggestion. "If the first plant is meant to cover the demand of the entire local market, there's no reason for a coastal plant. Aurous Hill stands at an intersection between the north and the south, so transportation is convenient. It's also killing two birds with one stone, as Mr. Wade is fond of the city."Charlie couldn't help but agree. "I won't lie—Aurous Hill has been good to me, and I hope to give back. Nothing's better than succeeding in that respect."Yolden spread his hands, "Heavy industries are certainly ideal to contribute to Aurous Hill's e
Yolden had actually been researching new energy for a while—in fact, it was when Tesla's first car models were produced.He was passionate about the subject and had his own opinions as well as ambitions, but he was busy teaching, so he couldn't realize any of it.But was this not a golden opportunity tailor-made for him?Seeing that Yolden was clearly interested, Charlie turned toward Kaeden, "Actually, the professor is getting married soon. There's no way we'd split up newlyweds so soon after the wedding, right? So, is it possible to set up base in Aurous Hill instead?""Not a problem!" Kaeden replied without hesitation. "Our family is planning to return to Oskia anyway, and everyone knows about Ashley and Curtis. So, why don't we invest in this enterprise alongside the Wades and have the base set up in Aurous Hill? And then bring Godot under as a subsidiary?"Turning to Yolden, he continued, "By the way, Godot's plant is already in the province—barely 100 miles from Aurous Hill,
Pausing, Yolden continued, "Moreover, the greatest advantage of AI is that it is self-conscious and has the processing power to analyze astronomical proportions of data. As car sales grow, every car owner's driving data will add precious new data to our data vault, and it will be processed by AI for even greater space of imagination."For example, kst's say I experienced a bumpiness along a certain road, and when the sensors pick up on that anomaly, the data will be uploaded to the servers along with images of the road condition in real time. The processing AI module would determine in no time at all that there was damage and label said location on the map, and then forward the data to other vehicles close to that location, sending notifications when they are close enough and providing the appropriate advice for countermeasures."Naturally, the AI can even be refined further so that it immediately warns us to slow down while uploading the data to the servers and informing any cars cl
Yolden's mind short-circuited at those words. "The most advanced AI module?!"He had been working on Wall Street for years, having invested in substantial startup tech companies as well as assisting plenty of Nasdaq tech enterprises with their IPO. That was why he especially had a sharp six sense for cutting-edge technology.It had been a while since he had gotten up the saddle, and AI had just become the trend recently, but he still paid close attention. He was well aware what applications were possible for AI modules, but he was shocked that Charlie already possessed what all the online giants were coveting!Thrilled, he quickly asked Charlie, "Can the Rothschilds resolve all the hardware and software issues? High-processing power display cards are a dime a dozen these days, and local enterprises are all planning to sell them one by one. The demand is just that high!"Charlie chuckled. "Don't worry—the Rothschilds will handle both issues for me, even the data centers. We bought i
Keith, who had been silent throughout, waved him off as he said solemnly, "Please don't sell yourself short, Professor Hart. I'm sure you can do well in this position, but it's still a matter of will."If your heart is truly set on educating future generations, then I'm sure you'd reject our offer no matter what we say."However, if you felt the slightest interest, even anticipation, for such a major project, then you really should consider our offer."We've already invested in Godot Autos for 3 billion USD and over 10 billion if we're counting in Ricebolt. But we still have 30 billion more in capital available—and that means it's 40 billion USD at play."I doubt any other global car maker can afford that much, let alone a new car maker. So, I dare say that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"Keith's words spoke to Yolden's very soul—a startup capital of forty billion US dollars was certainly unprecedented for electric-powered vehicles. Even Ricebolt had barely garnered ove
