The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1719
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

As Takahashi Machi finally made his decision, Eikichi’s operation had also been completed.Seeing his son who had both his arms cast in plaster being pushed out of the operating room by the doctor, Machi felt a tug in his heart.At this moment, he was filled with rage and wanted to smash the face of the b*stard who had injured his son.But after contemplating carefully, he realized that the most important thing to do now was to get the cooperation of the Schulz family. Otherwise, if the Schulz family were to decide to collaborate with the Ito family, then his family would be in big trouble.Due to this, Machi couldn’t bring himself to cause any trouble. Thus, he could only be patient and bear with it.Fortunately, Fujibayashi Masatetsu had found the target and was currently on the lookout. He was eyeing him like a hawk! The probability of the target escaping was close to null and if he wanted him dead, it’s only a matter of time.Takahashi Eikichi, who was still under the influen

He was afraid that even killing Charlie wouldn’t help him restore his dignity. After all, the horrifying beating which he had endured was already known to every Japanese in Japan. It was already rooted deeply within the hearts of the people.Machi’s expression turned sour and he was thinking of ways to comfort his son. During that moment, his cell phone rang.Machi took out his cell phone and saw an unfamiliar number. He pressed on the answer button and answered the call.From the other side of the call, a familiar voice rang. It was Ito Yahiko!“Oh, Brother Machi! I heard that Eikichi was beaten up by someone in Tokyo today?”Yahiko’s voice seemed to be somewhat concerned at first but anyone with a brain could have figured out that it was actually sarcasm.Machi replied with a blackened face. “Yahiko, I remember saving your number. Did you change it?”“No.” Tahiko replied with a cheerful tone. “My number is still the same. This is my personal assistant’s cell phone. I was afrai

For so many years, Machi and Yahiko merely had friendly rivalry with one another. It could be said that in those years, the two of them only saw each other as their biggest competitors.However, both of them were only around their early fifties. They grew up in the post-war period where Japan was at its weakest, most fragile moment. It was an era where people had no vision and self-esteem. They grew up during the peaceful moments and thus, there was no longer the viciousness and wickedness that their predecessors once had in their blood.That was why after competing with one another for so many years, their main motive for competition was only for business advancements. They had never had the intention of killing their opponents.It was like Alibaba and Tencent company bosses. Despite their competition being very fiery, they still abided by the laws and regulations.No matter how upset they were with one another, they will still try to remain as polite and rule-abiding as possible.

That night, the four of them took shifts monitoring. The shift was split into two and for each shift, two people would be monitoring while the other two would rest. Each person would be working for four hours to ensure that the rest of them got enough rest.They thought that their plan was perfect but they had no idea that everything had all been planned by Charlie.Till now, Charlie hadn’t taken any actions because he didn’t want to tip off the enemy. Additionally, he wanted to proceed more flexibly as things unfolded.The main reason as to why he was not interested in dealing with these ninjas in Tokyo was because he didn’t want the Takahashi family to be on his tail since he would be travelling to several other cities as well. If he were to kill off the ninjas, the Takahashi family would definitely watch him like a hawk, which would cause more problems in the future.Instead of all these unnecessary problems, it would be better to just let these four ninjas follow him. When the

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
