Aurous Airport.The private jet arranged by Isaac had already been waiting in the hangar for a long time.Albert and Ichiro had already arrived and were now waiting below the parked jet too.Liam and Paul had also reached earlier, and they were all waiting for Charlie’s arrival.At nine in the morning.Isaac’s convoy made their way to the hangar, one car after the other.Isaac immediately got out of the car before swiftly walking to the other side to open Charlie’s door.The moment Charlie stepped out of the car, everyone stepped forward to greet him.Charlie nodded in response and said, “Has everyone arrived? If you are all here, we can get on the plane now.”Isaac made a quick headcount before replying to Charlie respectfully, “Mr. Wade, everyone is already here.”“Okay, let’s set off then!”In addition to Isaac, Albert, Liam, Paul, and Ichiro, who was accompanying Charlie on this trip to Japan, Albert and Isaac also brought a few subordinates. In total, there were twelve

As he thought about it, Ichiro could not help but feel a little guilty deep inside.He felt that sense of guilt because it would seem equivalent to him giving away his father’s entire life’s worth of hard work.An old Oskian saying—the younger generation, heirs inheriting their predecessor’s assets, would not feel any heartache when selling off everything the previous generation had worked so hard for. It was because they did not know or understand the hardships of their predecessors. However, this saying was directed at the prodigal son. Although Ichiro was not very capable, he could not be regarded as that.If he were really a prodigal son, then he would not have come to Oskia to participate in the Chinese Medicine Expo, and he would not have any thoughts or intentions of coveting Anthony’s magical pills.The reason why he was so determined to get his hands on the magical pills was simply that he wanted to continue developing Kobayashi Pharma so that Kobayashi Pharma could reach

Concurrently, Kobayashi Pharma’s headquarters in Tokyo was preparing to hold an emergency board of directors meeting.After Jiro, the chairman of Kobayashi Pharma, left for Oskia, he suddenly disappeared without a trace and left Kobayashi Pharma without a leader.In the beginning, the other Kobayashi Pharma directors were doing everything they could do to find Jiro’s whereabouts.However, even after putting in a lot of effort and hard work, Jiro was nowhere to be found at all.After that, they immediately contacted Ito Yahiko, the head of the Ito family.They contacted Yahiko because the directors of Kobayashi Pharma knew that Yahiko had been very optimistic about Kobayashi Pharma and Jiro. They also knew that he had been hoping that Jiro would become his son-in-law so that he could buy some of Kobayashi Pharma’s shares.Moreover, Jiro only went to Oskia simply because he wanted to pursue Yahiko’s daughter, Nanako.Nanako was already back in Japan, but Jiro had entirely disappea

Yahiko then called Masayoshi. As soon as the call was connected, he said, “Mr. Kobayashi, congratulations on your appointment as the acting chairman!”Masayoshi said respectfully, “Mr. Ito, thank you for your kind words. I am just being appointed as the acting chairman temporarily. When my nephew, Jiro, returns to Kobayashi Pharma, I will certainly return this position to him.”Yahiko sneered before he said, “I deduce that Jiro will not be coming back anymore. Although you are only the acting chairman now, I believe that you will become the official chairman of Kobayashi Pharma soon!”Masayoshi secretly felt delighted inside. However, he kept his composure and continued saying, “Mr. Ito, to tell you the truth, I still think about Jiro day and night, and I hope that he will be able to return safely.”Yahiko smiled as he said, “Mr. Kobayashi, the reason why I called you today is not just to give you a polite greeting. I have a business proposal for you.”Masayoshi’s tone changed. He

In the Kobayashi Pharma’s conference room.Many distant family members of the Kobayashi family and several top-level business executives were all seated solemnly.There had been just too many incidents happening in Kobayashi Pharma, one after another, and the tense situation made everyone who was present feel a little nervous.First, the old chairman died tragically because he was poisoned to death. Next, the eldest young master was suspected of using poison to kill his biological father. The second young master then began persecuting and hunting his elder brother down, and he was said to have already died. After that, the second young master also suddenly disappeared. It certainly seemed as though this family of three had incurred the wrath of heaven and was being punished and condemned.However, even though they were nervous, each of them was still full of anticipation and high hopes for the future.This was because they had not been able to have any deep participation in the pl

Kobayashi Stomach Pill was the key product of Kobayashi Pharma, which generated most of the company’s revenues and profit. Kobayashi Pharma would definitely suffer a devastating loss if they rivaled Apothecary Stomach Pill heads-on after it was launched.Therefore, someone asked Kobayashi Masayoshi, “Mr. Chairman, we can’t just sit and await our dooms! Do you have any idea on how to deal with it?”Masayoshi replied, “Indeed, there is a way to deal with it. We must increase our investment in drug research and development, and we must also quickly upgrade our current products. If our Kobayashi Stomach Pill can surpass Apothecary Stomach Pill in terms of potency, I’m sure we can dominate and monopolize the market!”The person in charge of research and development continued, “Mr. Chairman, if we want to increase the funding for our department, we need a huge budget. Can we still afford it since the company was scammed not long ago?”Masayoshi cleared his throat and answered, “This is w

Actually, Masayoshi’s remarks were not unreasonable.There was certainly an information gap between Ito Yahiko and him because of the different understanding of the market.At this moment, Ito Yahiko must have thought that Kobayashi Stomach Pill was invincible, and he would love to get on the money-making bandwagon, which was Kobayashi Pharma.However, Masayoshi and other Kobayashi family members were now aware of the existence of the Apothecary Pharmaceutical. They also knew that at this moment, a type of drug called Apothecary Stomach Pill became very popular in Oskia and Aurous Hill and that the efficacy of the pill was much better than the Kobayashi Stomach Pill.Therefore, upon hearing Masayoshi’s concerns, the others changed their mind almost immediately.A moment ago, they firmly believed that Kobayashi Pharma must have a valuation of at least 20 billion and anything less than that was absolutely unacceptable, let alone 15 billion.But now they realized that it was a rare

Now, Nanako was recovering in Kyoto. Hiroshi went to Oskia the other day to look for medicine for her but was unsuccessful. So, he returned to Tokyo to report back to Yahiko and then stayed in Tokyo.In addition to the Lexus sedan that Yahiko was riding, there were ten bodyguards in two Lexus SUVs sandwiching Yahiko’s car in the middle in the form of a convoy as they drove to Kobayashi Pharma.Inside the car, Yahiko was delighted. He analyzed Kobayashi Pharma’s financial reports and market sales in the past two years and found that the company’s future was very promising. He was certain that it was definitely the best time to take a stake in the company now.Therefore, in his opinion, the 4.5 billion dollar investment in Kobayashi Pharma was like Jake planting magical beans in his backyard. The future harvest was at least 15 billion dollars or more. 15 billion dollars was equivalent to 1.5 trillion yen!No one could sit still and hold back their excitement when the thought of such

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

Charlie smiled. "Who, me? You'd laugh at me, but it was only after Steven found me that I learned to drive. I never bought my own car either and only had the two supercars gifted to me, and I only drove those a handful of times at best. Even now, I'm driving the BMW 5-series I bought for my father-in-law."Then, he remembered Marianne Long and said, "I did drive a friend's Tesla back to Hong Kong, but it was only for a short time, and I didn't manage to look into their so-called assisted driving system."Yolden thought about it and smiled, "But y'know… how would I describe the car, specifically? Have you heard of Mario Balotelli, the soccer player?"Every man present aside from Keith nodded—Mario had been a philosopher on the soccer field, and even those who didn't watch soccer were familiar with his name.Nodding, Yolden continued, "The way I see it, Mario has been a player with top-class hardware but third-rate software. Give him Messi or Ronaldinho's intelligence, and he'd be a

Kaeden then asked, "Well, professor, how do you suppose we overtake the competition at turning points? Or indeed, what qualifies as succeeding in that respect?"Yolden thought about it, formulating his words before explaining, "My personal understanding of the matter isn't simply to aim for turning points. Instead, it's things like staying on the inner lane of the race track and reaching the finish line faster by going where no other race car had gone before—or indeed where people never thought to go before."That's the case for new energy cars. Our fossil fuel energies have constantly lost to other countries and would always come up short. But with new energy cars, we can change the rules altogether."We can't catch up to their engine tech? Then we won't—there's no way they are masters in electric-powered engines, are they? They've spent decades on internal combustion engines and haven't the first clue about electric-powered engines."So, while everyone hasn't turned all their foc
