Yashiko looked down whenever he thought of his potential partnership with the Schulz family.In the car, he sighed, saying, “Tanaka, Japanese economic development has been in a slump for a decade. Not only our family but the fortunes of a few prestigious families have been affected and shrunk. Also, our heirs are not as capable…”Tanaka asked hurriedly, “Chairman, Japan was once the most developed country in the world for a few decades ever since the world war. Why hasn’t it kept up for the past ten years?”Yashiko replied regretfully. “There are many reasons contributing to this slowed-down economy. Firstly, there is a limited supply of natural resources and land in Japan. Secondly, there were no recent breakthroughs in the Japanese information technology industry.”Yashiko continued emotionally, “Look, gone are those years when many Japanese sectors were on top of the world. These sectors have gradually lost their significance in recent years.”“Back in those days, Sony, Panas

As Japan’s top financial magnate, Ito family had been continually losing its grip on the country’s economy.Another huge Japanese family, Takahashi family, also faced the same dilemma.Both families were actively seeking breakthroughs. So, both pinned all their hopes on the top Chinese families.As the top family in China, Schulz’s family’s influence had been on the rise for the past few years and as China rapidly developed, so did the strength of the Schulz family. Schulz family’s primary focus these past few years had been maintaining and consolidating the domestic market. In these past two years, they began turning their attention to the overseas market after securing its position as the top conglomerate in China.As a result, many Japanese families and tycoons were eager to develop in-depth collaborations with Schulz family. Over the past ten years, China’s import and export trade had continued to grow. The demand for shipping boomed, and the construction of new ports had been ex

In the afternoon, Charlie expelled and fired nearly half of the entire staff working for Kobayashi Pharma with incredible ease.These people from Kobayashi Pharma were originally thinking of using a strike to fight against Charlie. However, they never expected that Charlie would not be softhearted at all. Instead, he fired all of them directly without leaving even a single person behind. This incident caused a major commotion in the Japanese business community!First of all, no one would have thought that Kobayashi Pharma, which had been developing and growing so well, would experience a sudden change of ownership. Ninety percent of Kobayashi Pharma’s shares had already been transferred to an Oskian, and it was now officially an Oskian company. Secondly, no one would have thought that after Kobayashi Pharma became an Oskian company, it would fire more than half of its employees at one go!In Japan, apart from bankruptcies, very few companies would suddenly expel and fire so many

Charlie nodded in satisfaction as he said to Ichiro, “From today onward, you have to cooperate and work together with Liam to readjust all the production plans for Kobayashi Pharma. I want you to stop all of Kobayashi Pharma’s current and previous production, and you will switch to fully producing the Apothecary Stomach Pill on all production lines. Do you understand?”Ichiro hurriedly and sincerely replied, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade. I will surely give my utmost cooperation to Mr. Weaver!”Liam spoke to Charlie at this time, “Mr. Wade, Kobayashi Pharma has a very strong production capacity. If we are going to start producing the Apothecary Stomach Pill at full scale, we will also be demanding a very huge amount of raw materials for the Apothecary Stomach Pill in advance. We should make sure that we are fully prepared for this. Otherwise, our production capacity will certainly be severely restricted when we have insufficient raw production materials.”Charlie nodded and said, “I will s

After Graham had hung up the phone, Aurora, who was next to him, asked curiously, “Dad, what did Master Wade say when he called you?”Graham, who was still lost in his excitement, was still unable to free himself from this excitement. He took a few seconds to recover and regain his composure before he said excitedly, “Aurora! The Quinton family has been given an extremely great opportunity!”Aurora asked in surprise, “Dad, what kind of extremely great opportunity are you talking about?”Graham was so excited that he was still trembling a little as he spoke, “It’s Master… It’s Master Wade… Master Wade has taken over Kobayashi Pharma in Japan. He said that he will appoint our Quinton family to supply him with all the raw medicinal herbs and materials in the future. The annual demand is almost one million tons!”“Oh, my God!” Aurora exclaimed in amazement, “One million tons? Our family is currently only supplying about two hundred thousand tons a year, right?”“That’s right…” Graham

Ninety percent of Kobayashi Pharma’s shares had been transferred under the Apothecary Pharmaceutical’s name now.As the production work and process at Kobayashi Pharma was very important now, Charlie could not leave Tokyo for the time being. He wanted to ensure that all of Kobayashi Pharma’s production lines had been successfully converted to fully produce the Apothecary Stomach Pill before he leaves Japan.So, the first production line that needed to be converted to produce the Apothecary Stomach Pill was Kobayashi Pharma’s production base in Tokyo.Charlie asked Liam to take an inventory of all the medicinal herbs and materials that were present at Kobayashi Pharma at this time. After that, he wanted Liam to count all of the medicinal herbs and materials that could be used to produce the Apothecary Stomach Pill. Next, Liam needed to calculate the quantity of other medicinal herbs and materials that would be needed based on the production capacity of the production lines in Tokyo.

At Kyoto City, which was hundreds of kilometers away from Tokyo.The huge Ito family mansion with a century-old history was located in the center of Kyoto City.The Ito family mansion was located next to the Azuchi Castle, which was the residence of Oda Nobunaga, one of the three great unifiers during the Sengoku period in Japan. Although the surface area of the Ito family mansion was slightly smaller compared to the Azuchi Castle, the overall surface area was already much larger compared to the largest standalone family villa in Eastcliff.There was a moat that had been excavated during the war surrounding the mansion, and it bore the heavy responsibility of guarding the mansion.Three hundred and sixty degrees surveillance cameras were installed on the walls to capture all the blind spots and ensure that no one would be able to trespass and enter the mansion without any permission.Many bodyguards were armed with live ammunition behind the towering mansion walls.The buildings

As her thoughts were running wild, the cell phone in her pocket suddenly started ringing.When she took out her cell phone, she realized that it was a phone call from Tanaka-san. She hurriedly put her thoughts aside before she answered the call, and she smiled as she said, “Tanaka-san, why are you calling me so late at night?”Hiroshi sighed as he said, “Miss, something happened today. The chairman is very angry, and he smashed and destroyed a lot of antiques at home.”Nanako felt very nervous and anxious when she heard this, and she hurriedly asked, “Tanaka-san, what happened? Did my Eminent Father encounter some sort of trouble?”Hiroshi said, “The chairman brought me along with me to Kobayashi Pharma because he intended to sign a share transfer agreement with the board of directors of Kobayashi Pharma. After signing the agreement, the chairman asked the staff from the financial department to transfer four and a half billion US dollars over to Kobayashi Pharma’s account…”When N

"Alright!" Trippy was at once fawning, tagging along behind Raymond like a little child.Around thirty people were waiting in front of Treasure Measure by now. The collectors came in twos or threes, and all ten numbers had since been taken.Before Raymond arrived, he had a brief look at the collectors' faces through the security cameras before walking over, and he was really relieved to see no familiar faces.Having traded Oskian antiques for years abroad, it was only natural that he was acquainted with some of the elite collectors in the country.He also knew that they were especially demanding with the quality of their collection and wanted almost flawless items. As such, the bronze sculpture which had been completely lost wouldn't interest them.Still, he was also a little concerned that amongst the elite collectors he knew, there might be some who were losing money and losing purchasing power in turn. If they happened to take an interest in the bronze sculpture on top of that,

Trippy grinned. "I mean, just look at my stall—ain't no way I'm getting any business here. Why not let me check out this item of yours? And see how interested they are? I'm really interested in learning and upping my game."Then, as if worried that Raymond would refuse, he quickly added, "Don't worry—I promise to stay in a corner and just watch."Still, Raymond could guess right then that someone must have sent Trippy to spy on him.It didn't matter whether it was Mick, Jacob, or Zachary either—they were all in this plot together, and one knowing meant all three knowing.Trippy was a gossiper in nature. If he was allowed to witness the whole process, everyone down Antique Street would definitely know before long.In fact, he could use someone like that right now, and Trippy had come straight to his doorstep.With that in mind, Raymond smiled, "Come join me if you're interested. It's not like there's anything to hide…"Pausing, he then warned Trippy, "But since you're going in my

After watching Mick's video, Jasmine's opinion of the man improved considerably.She was actually well aware that the decline of Vintage Deluxe was mostly due to Mick's incompetence.However, as Jasmine was now managing a billion-dollar company, she couldn't spare any time to ask many questions about Vintage Deluxe's performance. In her opinion, as long as Vintage Deluxe didn't lose too much money or ruin the reputation they had worked so hard to build, she wasn't interested in a regime change.It was the same mindset as Marianne Long, who begged her father to keep that lane full of food stalls in Hong Kong over sentiment.As such, seeing that Mick actually had some skill pleased her considerably.She couldn't resist checking out the comments of the video too.She saw that many were praising the manager of Vintage Deluxe for taking a tough stand against the scammer as well as how Vintage Deluxe's reputation was long-standing and without comparison.She soon noticed Jacob's comme

Soon, more collectors had gathered outside Treasure Measure even before Raymond showed up at Antique Street, with over ten of them gathered outside in no time at all.Since Raymond had only prepared ten slips, the rest left in disappointment seeing that they had no chance.Even so, the ten collectors who had gotten a number were nervous—save for the first man who had arrived.The details on the online sales post insisted that the price was fixed, and that first-come first-serve applies.If he bought the bronze sculpture, the other nine would have come all this way for nothing.However, if the seller decided to make it an auction, they would have a chance too, although their net profit would thin in turn. After all, they could have acquired the bronze sculpture for just 20 million, and that meant a solid 8 million in profit.An auction would at least raise the price to 27 million, and more would make it chicken feed.If they gave up at that point, it was a waste of a trip.If

Trippy naturally wasn't going to tell Mick everything word-for-word, so he said vaguely, "Uh, they were just being stubborn and refused to listen to anything I said. They kept saying that they wouldn't know until they saw the actual item."Mick got out of bed, staring at his phone as he mused to himself.This was getting a little ridiculous, was it not? A fool who was scammed, actually able to scam someone else? But if he really could sell it, wouldn't all their work be for nothing?With that in mind, he promptly called Zachary, who wasn't even up yet.Ever since he had started working for Don Albert, his daily routine was no longer the same as the days when he was a humble stall owner working on Antique Street, but a man of importance who slept late and woke up late.In the evening, he would be spending his time patrolling Don Albert's night entertainment properties as well as holding meetings with subordinates to decide on management policies and the like. That was why he wo

Seeing that Mick had a favor to ask, Trippy was naturally eager to seize the opportunity to get in his good graces."Don't worry, Mr. Crane!" He promptly replied. "Just leave it to me!"Returning to Treasure Measure, he went up to the first man who had come and said, "Hey, brother… Did you come to buy the bronze sculpture from Mr. Cole?"The man asked warily, "You know about the bronze sculpture?""Of course!" Trippy grinned. "I know all too well—it's actually famous here in Aurous Hill."Whipping out his phone, he played the short video that Mick had spent five grand promoting, saying, "Here—check this out!"Curious, the man took the phone and watched the video solemnly.The other latecomer soon hurried over as well and stared fixedly at the screen too.They watched as Bill entered a room with the bronze sculpture with Mick, the latter who checked it out and started commenting on it.The first man exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, it really is that bronze sculpture."The second ma

The other antique traders who were keeping tabs on the situation were left confused by Trippy's message.[Maybe even those out-of-towners know that Raymond is a sucker? So they traveled overnight just to see what happens?][I know Raymond is in trouble, but is it really worth traveling hundreds of miles just to watch?][Maybe they know he's a sucker, so they came to sell him more counterfeits?][Shit, that must be it! Suckers are rare these days, after all!][Damn straight! Just knowing that there's one in Aurous Hill, you'd be eager to come over.]Even Mick Crane who had just woken up and saw the message immediately sent a voice message: "Those conmen are just like flies flocking around shit as soon as they smell it.""Oh, but what they don't know is that Raymond has no more money! I heard he only had a few hundred thousand for the startup, and the bronze sculpture must have cost most of it. I'm afraid those people won't even get their gas money and toll costs back after travel

Trippy rolled his eyes as he texted back: [Hell no. I need to start my business instead of wasting my time. You morons can come get a number yourself if you like. Haha!]Still, Trippy had just sent his text when a trio arrived in a hurry outside Treasure Measure.Seeing that the doors were closed, the leader asked Trippy, "Excuse me, can I ask if this is Treasure Measure? Owned by a man named Mr. Cole?"Trippy was at once surprised. "You mean Raymond Cole?"The leader quickly said, "We don't know his first name, only that his last name is Cole, and his handle name was Treasure Measure's Mr. Cole."Trippy chuckled. "That'd be him. Has to be, since he hand wrote that shop sign."Pausing, he then asked in curiosity, "So, you've come to see him being a sucker?"The leader was naturally curious as to what Trippy was talking about. However, he was also reluctant to reveal why he had come since there was a killer bargain at stake. In fact, every other collector who was coming was k

Raymond also added that the 20 million price tag wouldn't be cut or increased. To put it simply, the bronze sculpture was right there in Aurous Hill and waiting—it was a race.Hence, many reputable collectors contacted expert appraisers throughout the night, some even booking night flights straight to Aurous Hill.The best amongst them was a fanatic collector of bronze items in Eastcliff.Following a brief exchange with Raymond online, he immediately called an expert who was also a close friend. As soon as his call was answered, he asked the other man if he had time to travel to Aurous Hill so that no one else would beat them to it—and they would drive out in the night if at all possible.After all, the earliest flight was at six in the morning, and it'd be eight by the time they made it to Aurous Hill Airport and nine by the time they got to Antique Street in a cab.Therefore, the ideal way to get there was by driving over six hundred miles at top speed, and that meant reaching A
