The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1715
Under Liam’s overall management and supervision, the production line of Kobayashi Pharma ran in full force and quickly produced the finished product of Apothecary Stomach Pill.Charlie came to Kobayashi Pharma’s production base in the suburbs of Tokyo and personally did the quality test to make sure that there was no difference between the newly produced Apothecary Stomach Pill and the ones produced in Aurous Hill. Then, he instructed, “Liam, you must make sure that the production line in Tokyo keeps at this constant speed and works overtime to produce a large number of finished products quickly.”“Okay, Master Wade!” Liam immediately nodded and asked, “By the way, when will our stomach pills be officially launched in Japan?”Charlie replied, “Don’t worry about the official launch. We have to debug the production lines in Yokohama, Nagoya, and Osaka, and then accumulate a batch of finished products. At the same time, we need to prepare the advertisement to be broadcasted all over Ja

The four men were covered in black equipment from head to toe. Black hats, black coats, black shoes, and even black gloves on their hands.Moreover, their black outfits were very different from any ordinary black fabric. Most black fabrics were just black in color, but the color of the material of their accessories was very thorough, like a black hole.In truth, the reason for such an effect was that a layer of ultra-black material with a very low light refractive index was attached to the outfit, which was called carbon nanotubes. Its reflectivity to light was only 0.035%, that was 3.5 ten thousandths. It was the blackest material created by mankind so far.In a poorly lit environment, the naked eye could barely see clothing that was coated with this kind of material, hence, this high-tech material was an excellent tool for ninjas who were good at concealing their whereabouts. Wearing this kind of clothing allowed them to increase their ability to conceal their location greatly.A

Meanwhile, two dark, silent paragliders were flying fast at an altitude of two hundred meters.This kind of silent paraglider used lithium batteries to operate the electric engine, so it did not produce the noise generated by the fuel engine when it was running.Moreover, the fan blades of the paragliders were very carefully designed to produce very little air noise when running at high speed.The Japanese ninja’s lack of strength was compensated for by modern equipment and technology, and this had always been the direction of development among them.In the early years, the Japanese ninja not only had to practice ninjutsu, but they also had to be proficient in chemistry as they had to formulate all sorts of bizarre equipment and weapons.On TV, it was often shown that when an ancient ninja dropped a ball on the ground, smoke was instantly ignited, and when the smoke disappeared, so did the ninja. This was not a dictionary scene, but a historical reality.The spheres used by the a

The leader of the ninjas observed his surroundings and saw that Aman Hotel was not far from the opposite side of the building, so he immediately ordered, “Number Two, we will land on the roof of Aman Hotel to monitor them. Number Three and Number Four, look for a suitable place to hide downstairs. Keep our target under our eyes at all times!”The voices of the three men immediately resonated over the intercom, “Okay, Senior!”The two ultra-black paragliders slowly lowered their altitude and finally landed on the roof of the Aman Hotel. Immediately after landing, the lead ninja contacted Takahashi Machi, Eikichi’s father.Machi was at the hospital now. His eldest son, Eikichi, was still undergoing surgery to implant plates in both arms. After the surgery, he would have to stay in a cast for at least three months to recover gradually.After receiving the call, Machi immediately asked, “Fujibayashi-san, how are things going?”The one called Fujibayashi-san was the leader of the four

At this moment.The Aman Hotel, Tokyo.It was one of the most luxurious hotels in Tokyo.Sophie and Jaime were staying in this hotel. The two of them stayed in the best rooms in the hotel, staying right next to each other. Each room here had three French windows that overlooked the whole night view of Tokyo, which was mesmerizing and breathtaking.Sophie had just finished her shower, and her short hair was very wet, so she combed all her hair back. It was hard to imagine that a woman with the slicked-back hairdo could be so beautiful with a dash of handsome vibe to it.After taking a shower, Sophie wiped her body dry, put on the silk nightgown she had brought from home, and walked over to the large French window with a glass of red wine.She gently leaned back on the recliner in front of the window, looking out at the night scene through the window, deep in thought.In her mind, Charlie’s face appeared again out of nowhere.Sophie was still a little agitated when she thought of

She was wearing a deep V-neck low-cut halter nightgown. It was very comfortable to wear by itself in her own room, but it was a little too sexy, so she had to cover it up.After the video call was connected, Sheldon asked, “Jaime, Sophie, have you two arrived at the hotel?”“Yes.” Sophie and Jaime nodded in unison.Sheldon asked again, “Have you met the Takahashi family?”“Not yet,” Sophie answered. “Originally, we planned to meet in the conference room of the hotel this evening to talk about the collaboration, but the Takahashi family encountered some accidents. Takahashi Eikichi was injured, and his father, Machi, should still be in the hospital with him.”Sheldon frowned and asked, “What happened? Will it affect our collaboration with them?”Sophie answered, “He was beaten up by a passerby, but the incident was a random blip, so it shouldn’t affect our deal.”“That’s good,” Sheldon said with relief. “You should go through the detailed investigation of both families and then p

Lord Schulz’s way of thinking was deeply influenced by his father.Lord Schulz’s father had fought in wars. The difference between the battlefield and business was that on the battlefield, you must fight to the very end in order to survive, so he implemented the same philosophy in doing business—he had to fight to the very end if they encountered opponents heads-on.In Lord Schulz’s eyes, choosing between the Ito family and the Takahashi family and eliminating the leftover were like there were two boats on the shore during a trip to the sea. Only one was needed to go to the sea, so what should be done?The commoner would choose any boat he liked and set sail on it.A wise man would select the one with the most comprehensive specification after detailed research.A brilliant and ruthless man would choose the one with the best overall performance and then sink the other boat before setting sail.The reason for this was that if one simply chose one ship to sail, the one left behind

The figure was the Takahashi family’s ninjutsu master, Fujibayashi Masatetsu.When Machi knew that he happened to be at Aman Hotel, he had asked him to spy on Jaime. As Party A and Party B were about to start negotiations on collaborations, it was best if they could know the other party’s bottom line and low prices in advance.Just like in a poker game, showing your hand was the worst thing to happen in a business negotiation. If you knew the other players’ cards when you were playing poker with them, you would never lose, and you would be able to get out of the game early if you had lousy cards.If you knew the other players’ cards, you would never be swindled, and you could see right through them if they were holding a small hand.The reason why you couldn’t make the most out of the game even though you had the biggest hand was that you couldn’t guess the other players’ cards, and you were not strong enough psychologically, thus, you would be scared by the players’ bloodlust an

With those words, Jacob didn't wait any further as he turned and left Antique Street, intent on seeking legal counsel.Raymond watched him leave before returning to Treasure Measure.He wasn't going to leave, but he had said so because he didn't want to waste much time with Jacob.Still, to avoid any trouble, he turned the sign outside to 'closed' before locking the door from the inside.That was when a man suddenly arrived, asking through the glass door, "Can I still take a look inside, sir?"Raymond was ready to refuse without even turning around when he realized that it was Charlie.He turned around and saw him standing outside just as expected.Smiling, he hurried over to open the door for him. "It's been a while, Mr. Wade!"Charlie was aware that Raymond was sticking to his identity of 'Raymond Cole' who had not been in touch since Raymond had been fired from Vintage Deluxe.Charlie chuckled in turn. "It has indeed. And you're a business owner yourself now, too.""It's j

Jacob zipped toward Raymond, his attitude immediately subservient, "I'm sure you've seen what Zachary Evans posted on his Twitter page, and to be honest, it's so terrible that my position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association has been affected too. I mean, you've made a lot of money, right?"Hell, even if you donated ten million, you'd still have another ten million and 970 thousand in net profits. So, all I'd like to ask is for you to post something to disclaim Zachary's post.Jacob's words left Raymond in thought.For Jacob, just being suspected of fraud would definitely be terrible. In fact, his position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association would definitely be threatened—if not dismissed altogether—if he wasn't cleared of suspicion.Since Jacob was Charlie Wade's father-in-law, Raymond had reason not to drive Jacob over the brink.But that also begged another question—it must be under Charlie's intention for Zachary to post his confession, and that meant Charlie in

Raymond couldn't help chuckling just as Jacob finished—he had honestly never heard of anyone who demanded a refund after donating to charity, but he was certainly seeing one now.Still, the receptionist was clearly experienced and slowly explained, "Sir, it's a legal clause of the country that all donations for philanthropy purposes can not be refunded under most circumstances—""It truly was a mistake," Jacob quickly said, cutting the receptionist off. "I was going to donate thirty thousand but pressed an extra zero by mistake. Please discuss this with your management—you just have to refund 27 thousand, see?""Sorry, sir," the receptionist apologized. "But it's a strict rule that we ourselves do not get to access the funds that have been donated into our accounts. Every donation will be screened extensively, and if you consider that there was a major oversight on your part, you may seek legal counsel to appeal for a refund. If the courts back your appeal, our organization will the

Nonetheless, Jacob darted into Treasure Measure and plucked off his mask, asking nervously, "Excuse me, Mr. Cole? It's me… Jacob Wilson…"Raymond looked up, pausing for a moment before acting as if he was actually curious, "Mr. Wilson! What brings you here? Don't tell me—you want that bronze sculpture back too?""No, no, no…" Jacob quickly shook his head. "I would never… I returned all the way from Dubai to apologize!""Apologize?" Raymond smiled faintly, and he did not play dumb this time as he asked bluntly, "Did you come back because of Zachary Evan's post?"Knowing he couldn't deny it any longer, Jacob nodded, "Yeah…"Raymond nodded and said calmly, "That's unnecessary. I was the one who benefited in the end."Jacob wasn't quite keeping up—thinking that Raymond was just trying to be nice by telling him he didn't have to apologize, he quickly pulled out his phone.Tapping on it and bringing up his transaction records, he handed it to Raymond reverently, "Mr. Cole, I understan

The cabbie chuckled. "You're a local yet you're heading to Antique Street right away as soon as you land instead of going home? And you're still saying you're not trying to pick up a killer bargain deal?"Come on, man—it's not just you, I want that too. We cabbies work ourselves to death only for ten thousand per month at best while our friend over there made twenty million in one night. I could keep driving cabs for the rest of my life and still not make that much money."Jacob knew that the cabbie must be talking about Raymond and became even more miserable then, grumbling unhappily, "I'm going to Antique Street for business—I'm not trying to pick up some missed bargain.""No? Then you didn't hear what happened yesterday?"The cabbie was immediately curious, and without waiting for Jacob's answer, he exclaimed happily, "Look, man—it was so ridiculous not even Hollywood would put it in their script. There were these fools who were trying to sell an antique trader a replica, but th

It was nighttime in Dubai as Jacob dragged his weary body from the hotel back to the airport.As he was flying economy this time, he was left sitting at the hard bench near the boarding terminal, waiting for it to open.While he waited, his heart was torn as he tapped into the website of the Aurous Hill Charity Fund, found their donation account, and wired the entire 300 thousand he had made over to them.He had picked the Aurous Hill Charity Fund because the circles of antique collectors in Aurous Hill were all discussing how Raymond had donated half of the 20 million he had made to that same charity fund.After Raymond skyrocketed to prominence in Antique Street and became a star, it could not be denied that people admired his profound ability.However, there were also people who envied his skill in turning the tables just as there were those who were jealous he had made twenty million in a single night.Still, Raymond moved fast—soon after word spread that he had made twenty m

Elaine quickly asked, "Well, what if you can't get it done?"Jacob was apprehensive even as he sighed. "If they really pressed the issue, guess I can't even stay at the Calligraphy and Painting Association now… We will see. If things get bad, I'll just resign. I won't ask for much right now, just as long as I don't have to go to jail."Elaine nodded. "Then you should try to reason things out with Raymond Cole or ask for Charlie's help if push comes to shove. Being humiliated is still better than prison.""Okay!"-It was nighttime at Aurous Hill by the time Elaine and Jacob arrived at their hotel.Charlie and Claire had just had dinner, and Claire pulled out her phone, saying, "I just checked my flight app, and it says my parents should have landed two hours ago. They are probably at the hotel, so I'll check in on them with a video call."She had yet to open her WhatsApp when Elaine called her on a video call.Jacob was planning to check in with Claire and Charlie to put their

Hearing what Jacob had said, Elaine became anxious and pressed him as he hung up, "What's going on? You're leaving? But we just got here! My shoes have just caught Dubai dirt, so why are we leaving so soon—"However, Jacob was wiping the sweat off his brow as he mumbled quietly, "Well, at this point, I have to leave or I won't be vice president anymore."Elaine immediately fumed. "We've been married for half our lives, and this is supposed to be our honeymoon, yet we're just leaving? I've posted about this on social media too—there are plenty of people who're waiting for more posts on our trip!"And don't forget—we spent a lot on our flight tickets and our hotels! The hotel bookings can't be refunded either!"Jacob scowled dolefully. "Well, what can we do? Why don't you stay? I'll go home and get this sorted out first….""Well, how long would that take?" Elaine asked."How should I know?" Jacob sighed, uneasy and annoyed. "Don Albert is saying I have to go back and donate the 300

"But I spent 98 thousand on that bronze sculpture!" Jacob exclaimed in agitation before he knew it. "I made 300 thousand from it, and that means my profit was 200 thousand at best, but I'm supposed to return that to him as well?! That means I'd have lost my own capital too!""I can't help you if you can't bear to part with that money, Mr. Wilson," Don Albert said quietly. "In that case, you'll just have to handle it yourself.""Wait, wait, wait!" Jacob immediately became antsy and cried out right then, "Please, Don Albert! I'll return the money! I'll return it, alright?! The entirety of my profits—202 thousand, okay? At least let me keep the money I spent, okay?""By that reasoning, Mr. Wilson, when a phone scammer is told by the cops to return the money they've made from defrauding, should he be allowed to keep the money he spent on telco charges? ""Oh, I…" Jacob was left stumped and could not come up with an answer.Don Albert then pressed on, "Mr. Wilson, I've offered a prom
