As he was speaking, Charlie suddenly recalled something and he hurriedly said, “By the way, wife. After coming back this time, I will just rest for a day or two. After that, I have to travel to Japan as soon as possible. I already told you the last time that there is also a client in in Japan who keeps urging me to go over there.”Claire nodded before asking him, “How long will you be gone for? New Year is only about half a month away and many units have already started to prepare for the holiday. Maybe you can rest for a while before you resume working after New Year.”Charlie smiled as he said, “I have already promised the other party that I will be going over there so how can I stand them up at the last minute then? You can rest assured that I will be done in a few days’ time. In fact, Japan is not too far away from Oskia. If I fly to Japan directly from Aurous Hill, the trip will only take me about two hours.”“Okay then…” Claire nodded slightly before she said, “Then, you have
Charlie smiled indifferently when he saw the eager expression on Elaine’s face. After opening the rear car door, he took out a bunch of Hermes gift boxes from inside.When Elaine saw so many Hermes boxes, her eyes suddenly widened in surprise. Even her eyes were also shining brightly at this time.Deep down filled with excitement, she could not help but exclaim. ‘Oh my god! It’s Hermes! Hermes bags are all too expensive. Charlie might not be willing to buy it for me. However, even a Hermes scarf already costs tens of thousands of dollars!’So, Elaine came forward excitedly. While covering her mouth in joy, she said, “Oh! Oh! It’s Hermes! My good son-in-law, you are too generous! What did you buy for your mother from Hermes?”Charlie picked out a few different sized gift boxes. He handed them over to Elaine as he said, “Mom, the big one is a Hermes bag that matches your temperament perfectly. Why don’t you see if you like it?”When Elaine heard that it was a bag, she jumped in exci
Charlie nodded as he said, “About twenty to thirty thousand dollars.”“Oh! My son-in-law, you are really too generous! You even bought me such an expensive scarf! I can already buy a mink coat with twenty to thirty thousand dollars!” After that, Elaine opened the other gift box before she exclaimed, “Oh! This is a classic Hermes belt for women! My good son-in-law, I’ve loved this belt for several years but I’ve been feeling very reluctant to buy it. I really didn’t expect you to fulfil my dreams for me…”Jacob, who was standing aside, felt a little envious and jealous. He could not help but ask, “My good son-in-law, didn’t you prepare any gifts for your dad then?”Charlie smiled as he said, “Of course, I did! I prepared a few gifts for you.”As he spoke, Charlie handed two Hermes gift boxes over to Jacob.Slapping his thighs in joy, Jacob said excitedly, “Oh! You prepared gifts for me too! You are really my good son-in-law!”As soon as his voice fell, Jacob pranced forward and
When Jacob showed off the Rolex watch which he received from Matilda to Charlie in the car, Claire had also been sitting in the back seat.So, she understood the reason why her father was asking Charlie for a Rolex watch at this time. It was just a formality, mainly because he wanted to look for an opportunity to openly wear the Rolex watch that Matilda had given to him.At this moment, although Claire felt a little uncomfortable, she could only turn a blind eye to the situation when she recalled the pasts of her father and mother, and all the grievances that her father had suffered and endured over the years.However, Claire really did not expect her mother to join in the fun at this time. She even asked Charlie to buy her a Rolex watch.She hurriedly told Elaine, “Mom, Rolex watches are usually worn by men. It will not look good on you. If you really like watches, then I can just buy a female Tissot watch for you later.”Elaine replied in disgust, “Don’t even think of fooling me
Claire said gratefully, “Thank you, husband but in future, you should not spend so lavishly on me like this…”Charlie knew that Claire certainly would not be able to accept such pricey gifts. So, he simply smiled and said, “Okay, I understand. I will buy you much more affordable gifts in future.”…After going into the house, Elaine hurriedly placed all the Hermes gifts that Charlie had given to her over the floors in the living room.While displaying the gifts and package boxes nicely, she took out her cell phone to take various pictures from different angles.Then, she chose nine pictures that she was most satisfied with and immediately uploaded those pictures on her social media with the caption: “My good son-in-law went to work in Eastcliff and he gave me so many Hermes as gifts after coming home! I am extremely happy!”Likes and comments surged on Elaine’s social media account in an instant. Seeing many women hurling envious and bitter comments on her post, she could not hel
Charlie could only shake his head helplessly when he saw Jacob sighing.His father-in-law really had not seen much of this world before.When he played with antiques, he could only afford fake antiques. It was also the same case when it came to tea leaves.The main reason was simply because his status in the Wilson family was simply too low and he had never been valued by Lady Wilson in the past. After that, Elaine had been oppressing him for many years. He had not been living a satisfactory life and he did not have much money either.Fortunately, Jacob had a pretty good personality. If it was someone else, the other party would have already suffered from depression due to taking the situation too hard.As Charlie and his family were happily tasting and enjoying the fine and premium tea leaves, Hannah was preparing lunch for the family in Villa A04 next door.Hannah had always been despised by this family as she was previously pregnant with the child of the supervisor at the coal
At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open.Christopher accompanied the old lady as they walked into the villa first.Harold and Wendy followed behind them.The old lady was wearing an elegant mink coat. Her face was radiant, glowing in good health and she looked extremely happy.Ever since Wilson Group was revived, Lady Wilson had been in high spirits every day and her face glowed with radiance, as if she had just eaten a damn Rejuvenating Pill.As soon as she entered the villa, Lady Wilson opened her mouth and said, “Oh! Although the Webb family is not doing that well anymore, a rich family who had become less richer than they previously were, is still richer compared to a poor family. With this project that they had given to us, we should be able to make a profit of at least twenty million dollars within the next year. This is simply too great!”Christopher, who was standing aside, laughed as he said, “Mom, this is all because you had great foresight! If you had not been
Hannah was filled with resentment toward Lady Wilson as she followed the Wilson family into the dining room.Lady Wilson directly sat at the main seat at the dining table. When she glanced at the food that Hannah had cooked, she was very dissatisfied and frowned as she said, “Why did you prepare all these home-cooked dishes? Why aren’t there any dishes with a lot of meat? Don’t you know that I’m already old and would need to replenish and build up my body?”Hannah was a little aggrieved as she said, “Mom, you can’t blame me for this. You’re holding onto all of the family’s money, so I only have a few hundred dollars on hand. How can I possibly afford to buy a lot of fish and meat then?”Lady Wilson snorted coldly and said, “You’re always full of excuses. Can’t you even buy a chicken if you have a few hundred dollars? One free range chicken costs less than a hundred dollars. Can’t you even afford that?”Hannah felt very angry and she said, “Mom, there are five of us eating in this f
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
Helena didn't give Harrison a chance to resist. She pinched his cheeks on both sides, forcing his mouth to open. Then, she poured the water containing the dissolved Healing Pill directly into his mouth. Harrison was so scared that the blood drained from his face. He wanted to kick and struggle, but he was trembling profusely and couldn't do anything. The thought of Helena trying to poison him gave him a chill to the marrow. He wanted to spit out the water, but Helena didn't give him a chance. While the water was still in his mouth, she threw the glass aside with her other hand, grabbed his chin, and lifted it up, snarling, "Drink it!" The moment Harrison's chin was lifted, his esophagus directly opened. The water, which was not much, went straight down his esophagus into his stomach, and he literally drank it. Harrison's eyes were full of fear at this moment. He thought that he might not even have time to say goodbye before he died. The next second, when he felt a different k
Harrison scoffed when he heard Helena's suggestion. He snapped angrily, "I-I-I have the best medical team in the world, and t-they don't even dare say such a thing. W-Who do you think you are?!" Helena smirked and replied, "Your team can't cure you, but I can." With that, she took out the Healing Pill that Charlie had given her from her purse and said to Harrison, "This pill comes from the ancient and mysterious East. Once you take it, you'll be restored to your former self. To alleviate your concerns, I can let you take one-tenth of it for free before we discuss terms so that you can truly feel its effectiveness. After that, we can discuss the pricing." Harrison, without any hesitation, disdainfully replied, "I-I would never b-b-believe in such a r-ridiculous pill! T-T-This b-bullshit has no scientific ba-a-asis at all!" Helena sneered contemptuously, "If you believe in science so much, why are you afraid of the Qing Eliminating Society? Can they possibly be a match for your
Helena pursed her lips, looked at Harrison, and then looked at Julien, pretending to be hesitant to speak. Despite his paralyzed body, Harrison was still as sly and smart as ever, so he looked at Julien and said, "Julien, clear the room. I want to talk to Her Majesty alone." Knowing that Harrison was trying to give him a boost, Julien immediately said, "Okay, Dad!" After that, he quickly asked the doctor to leave. Before leaving, he turned and said to Harrison, "Dad, you have all the time in the world. Please have a nice chat with Her Majesty. I'll ask everyone to keep a distance of 20 meters from the room. Please rest assured." Harrison nodded in satisfaction and flicked in the air at him twice, motioning for him to leave. Julien gleefully closed the door and promptly urged everyone to stay 20 meters away from the room, including himself. Seeing that the room was clear, Helena cut to the chase. As she looked at Harrison on the bed, she stated, "Mr. Harrison, the main reaso
