At this time, Eikichi was already filled with anger and indignation inside.He was initially planning to gain more of that man’s details and information from this girl. However, he never would have expected that this girl would not know that young man at all!Eikichi knew very clearly that the girl was certainly not lying to him. So, he knew that it would not be that easy even if he wanted to look for that man to settle the account with him.However, the most important thing at the moment was to get his family to send some men over here so that they could send Sophie and Jaime to the hotel first. After that, they would have to send him and his subordinates to the hospital.Sophie ignored Eikichi, who had both of his arms broken. Instead, she helped the Oskian girl put her guitar away. After that, she gave the girl her business card before she said seriously, “Miss, make sure that you call me immediately if anyone dares to look for you and make things difficult for you because of ev
Machi nodded and said, “However, we cannot put in too much publicity and fanfare into this matter at this point. After all, we still have to discuss the details and plan for our collaboration and partnership with the Schulz family. If we were to incur a lot of publicity to look for this Oskian in Tokyo just so we could take his life, the Schulz family will certainly be filled with criticisms for our family!”Eikichi panicked, and he asked, “Dad! Are you going to let that b*stard off just like that, then?”Machi replied coldly, “Don’t worry. I will not let him off so easily. I will get my men to find him first before sending the top ninjas in our family to keep a close eye on him and follow him in secret. I will make sure that our men follow him no matter where he goes. After we have already sorted out and finalized the details of our collaboration and partnership with the Schulz family, we can capture that man and bring him back to Tokyo quietly so that you can execute him yourself!”
“Big news related to the Takahashi family?”As soon as Yahiko heard this, he glared at Hiroshi before he said, “D*mn it! What kind of big news is it? Has the Schulz family already announced their collaboration and partnership with them so soon? It couldn’t be! The Schulz family has just landed in Tokyo, so how could it be? How could they possibly make a decision so quickly? Could it be that those brutes do not intend to meet up with us at all?”Hiroshi hurriedly said, “It is not news about that matter. It is news about Takahashi Eikichi, who got turned into a cripple on the streets!”“Turned into a cripple?!” Yahiko was shocked, and he asked, “Who did it?”In his opinion, there were only a handful of people in Tokyo who would actually dare to lay a finger on or do anything to Eikichi at all.Yahiko would also hesitate and think twice if he were to do it himself. After all, the gap between the Ito family and the Takahashi family was not that big. If he were really to do anything to
Immediately afterward, Yahiko replayed the video again, and the smile on his face intensified even more.After watching the video more than a dozen times in a row, Yahiko laughed as he said, “This is perfect! The Takahashi family finally got their just desserts! After this video gets shared and gains more popularity in Japan, the Takahashi family will certainly lose face!”Hiroshi nodded and said, “This video has already exploded on all major online networks and video platforms in Japan. Therefore, the Takahashi family will definitely be hit badly and suffer a huge blow to their reputation this time!”“Perfect!” Yahiko exhaled happily before he said, “Oh! I feel so much better after seeing this video!”After that, he suddenly recalled something and said, “The Takahashi family and I have never dealt with one another before. However, both of our families finally have a common enemy this time!”Hiroshi said in a hurry, “Chairman, you are not going to join forces with the Takahashi fa
“As for this…”Hiroshi suddenly fell into a dilemma when he was faced with Yahiko’s question.How should he answer him?That he would be able to take back the money?If that was the case, wouldn’t he have to take the blame if they could not take back the money?Should he reply that they could not get the money back, then?In that case, Yahiko would certainly lose his temper immediately!It seemed as though this was indeed a very difficult question for him to answer.When Yahiko saw that Hiroshi was stammering without saying anything at all, he immediately felt a thump in his heart. He blurted out, “Could it be possible that you are thinking that there is an eighty percent possibility that we will not be able to get the money back?”Hiroshi quickly explained, “That is not necessarily the case. Chairman, I feel that there is no need for you to be so pessimistic. In my opinion, there is a fifty percent chance whether we might or might not be able to take the money back!”“Fifty
“Okay, Chairman!”***At this time, Nanako, who was far away in Kyoto, was still sitting out in the courtyard. She was still waiting for the heavy snowfall that she was not even certain would come. She suddenly felt an unexpected vibration from the cell phone in her pocket. After she looked at her cell phone, she saw that it was a push notification from the software with the title: [Takahashi Eikichi was beaten up in the streets of Tokyo and both of his arms are broken!]Nanako could not help but felt a little surprised. At this time, she thought to herself, ‘Eikichi is very famous in Tokyo. Why would anyone want to attack him on the streets?’However, Nanako was not really interested in Eikichi, and she did not want to care too much about these gossips. So, she did not click into the article.However, as soon as she turned off her cell phone, her screen lit up again. It was another push notification from the software. The title of the article was similar to the previous article
Later that night.All of Tokyo’s Bosozoku gathered around in unprecedented unity.The different biker gangs who used to defend their territory and fight with each other in rivalry and combat had now become comrades.Hand in hand, they walked on the street conducting a carpet search, only to look for the whereabouts of a mysterious man who had paralyzed Takahashi Eikichi.However, they were instructed not to kill the man, but to report to the Takahashi family as soon as they found him.They would be rewarded with a million dollars if they could find a reliable clue.The Bosozoku members rarely had the chance to make money. They actually made peanuts from either collecting protection fees from the red-light district or some meager illegal trades.How could one be considered a successful Bosozoku member in Japan?Easy. An extremely chic customized superbike was enough.It was because, in the eyes of the Bosozoku bikers, an awesome motorcycle was the standard accessory of a succes
It was not an easy task for these ninjutsu masters to find Charlie because Charlie did not leave any clues or traces at the scene. They could only check his whereabouts through Tokyo’s surveillance system.***At midnight.The first batch of raw materials prepared and shipped by Graham arrived in Tokyo.As soon as the plane landed, it was loaded and cleared through customs and then shipped to Kobayashi Pharma production line as fast as possible.Since Liam and Ichiro had already spent a day training at Kobayashi Pharma’s Tokyo production base, they entered the workshop immediately after the raw materials arrived and started producing the Apothecary Stomach Pills.In addition, Liam followed Charlie’s request and applied for the Japanese FDA to change the name of Kobayashi Stomach Pill to Apothecary Stomach Pill.This way, after the successful trial production, Apothecary Stomach Pills could be marketed directly in Japan and other countries using the path Kobayashi Stomach Pill ha
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
The Ackers were really interested in Yolden's perspective.For their family, investing in the new energy automotive industry wasn't meant to make money—they simply intended to add to Oskia's strength as a manufacturer.But with Yolden's input, they had new things to look forward to.If they really could propel their business to giants like Tesla, opportunities and profits would go without saying—there was also no question that it supported and improved Oskia's local car industry and manufacturing sector.Giants in the manufacturing sector were different from online giants, as the latter often enforced a stranglehold monopoly. Before they had the monopoly, they would be offering perks and subsidies to the market, and when they gained sufficient customers and consumer faith, they would start choking the market for profits.To put it in perspective, a five-mile Uber ride would cost five bucks before, and the driver would be paid ten for it. But after Uber got the monopoly, the rider
