Aman Hotel Tokyo.Having just taken a bath, Sophie turned on her laptop in her room. After that, she and her brother went on a video conference call with Sheldon, far away in Eastcliff.The siblings quickly reported the huge concession that Machi had made to Sheldon, who was extremely surprised.From Sheldon’s point of view, Machi knew what he was doing. He did not only have the determination to kill and destroy the Ito family, but he also had the consciousness to willingly give in and accept the lower end of the bargain, enabling Schulz family to gain a more favorable percentage in their collaboration. This kind of person could easily be taught and tamed.Sophie said, “Dad, we will also be meeting up with Yahiko from the Ito family tomorrow, as we have already agreed to this meeting in advance. However, I think that Yahiko has already lost his advantage and competitiveness in this collaboration. Moreover, it will be impossible for him to offer us an even better proposal compared

The expression on Sophie’s face turned solemn as soon as she heard this.In fact, she had only mentioned that man earlier just so that she could piss her father off. However, when she thought about that man, Sophie could not help but feel a little worried for him.When she thought about the fact that Machi might not be letting him off so quickly, Sophie immediately blurted out.“The next time we meet Machi, I’ll be giving him a warning. If he dares to secretly attack that man after we have reached an agreement, then I will terminate our collaboration and partnership with him at any time!”“Nonsense!!” Sheldon reprimanded Sophie sternly. “As the Schulz family representative, everything should be done and negotiated for the sole interest of the Schulz family. How can you possibly allow a stranger and an unknown man to affect the interests of the Schulz family?! As long as we can get Machi to agree to the biggest concession clause, then what has the life and death of that stranger g

At the hotel lobby of Aman Hotel Tokyo.Yoshito, who had not even turned forty yet, was already looking forward to meeting the Schulz family.He made this trip to the hotel today because he had been hoping to use his humble attitude and personality to gain an opportunity to meet up and speak with the Schulz family. Although the Matsumoto family’s strength was not as grand or capable as that of the Takahashi family or the Ito family, Yoshito felt that his abilities and capabilities were not weaker than anyone else. He was young and bold, and he would be an ideal partner to collaborate and work together with the Schulz family.As the Matsumoto family was still weaker some years ago, they were far behind compared to that of the Takahashi and Ito families.Although Yoshito had already led the Matsumoto family to develop rapidly and achieve greater heights to catch up with the Takahashi family and Ito family, they were still relatively falling short behind.The Matsumoto family could

The young girl working at the front desk was frightened by the ferocious expression on his face as she fumbled with her replies. “Sir, I am really sorry! Our most distinguished guests’ assistant has already clearly told us that both of them really do not have time to see you. We would really appreciate it if you do not make things difficult for us…”Yoshito’s initial exuberance and confidence were instantly crushed because of this young girl working at the front desk!He started cursing hysterically. “My name is Matsumoto Yoshito and not Sir!! Do you understand me?!”The young girl retreated a few steps backward in fright as he yelled.“I am really sorry, Mr. Matsumoto. I am simply passing on the message on behalf of our guests. Please understand and forgive me…”Many people were watching Yoshito, where hushed whispers could be heard around the lobby.These people were putting their heads together and whispering amongst themselves in twos and threes. Although he could not mak

The production lines in Kobayashi Pharma’s production base in Nagoya started pumping out certified Apothecary Stomach Pills very quickly.Kobayashi Pharma itself was a top pharmaceutical company in Asia with very advanced production lines, more advanced than Apothecary Pharmaceutical.As long as the formula, medicinal herbs, and materials were all in place, there were almost zero difficulties switching the production lines to produce Apothecary Stomach Pills.Once the production lines entered the standard production and operation phase, Charlie left Nagoya and headed for Osaka with the accompanying group.As Kyoto was located between Nagoya and Osaka, according to Charlie’s original plan, he would head to Kyoto to see Nanako as soon as he had settled all his affairs in Nagoya.However, there were three ninjas following him during this trip, and he did not want to bring these three men to Kyoto with him.Hence, he planned to ditch these three men in Osaka first. He would only head

Jaime had his thoughts on this.In the Schulz family’s opinion, Machi had two advantages compared to Yahiko. Firstly, he was willing to destroy and get rid of the Ito family, and secondly, he was willing to reduce his shared profit margin to twenty-five percent.Hence, when facing Yahiko, Jaime felt that Yahiko would have to be on par with Machi on the first point, and he would have to offer an even better proposal than Machi on the second point. The first point was to get rid of the Ito family. This was already a very extreme request.No matter whether they were asking the Takahashi family to get rid of the Ito family, or vice versa, as long as one of those families was gotten rid of, then it would simply be perfect.Therefore, even if Yahiko were also willing to join forces with him to get rid of the Takahashi family, he would only be on equal footing with Machi based on this point.This way, unless Yahiko would give them a few more favorable terms than Machi on the second poi

The negotiation and discussion between Jaime, Sophie, and Yahiko ended in a very abrupt and unhappy manner.After the pair of siblings left Ito Holdings, Yahiko could only start cursing angrily on the spot.On the way back to the hotel, Jaime asked Sophie, “Sophie, I was planning to sway Yahiko so that I could convince him to agree to my proposal of agreeing to only a twenty percent stake in the shared profit-margin. Why were you so hostile to him?”The tip of Sophie’s lips curled into a sneer as she replied, “A twenty percent stake in the profit margin is lower than what he was willing to accept. So, no matter how much you try to talk to him and convince him today, he would certainly not be able to agree to this ratio. If you really want to force him, then you will have to put enough pressure on him.”Jaime asked, “Any good ideas?”Sophie replied, “Maybe you can call Machi and tell him that you plan to sign the collaboration and partnership contract with him tomorrow. You would h

Jaime replied excitedly, “He said that he is willing to consider our proposal and conditions. However, he hopes that we will still meet him in person to discuss this matter further. What do you think?”Sophie smiled in contentment.“I think that will not be an issue. You can return his call and tell him to come to our hotel to discuss early tomorrow morning. If our discussion goes well, then we will collaborate with him; if the discussion does not proceed smoothly, then we will just finalize the terms and conditions with Machi before signing the contract with him then.”“Alright!” Jaime replied enthusiastically, “I’ll give him a call now.”As soon as Jaime finished speaking, four ninjas dressed in black suddenly jumped down from the hotel corridor’s ceiling!Before Sophie and Jaime could even react, both of them had already been subdued by the other party.Sophie exclaimed in horror, “Who are you?!”One of the masked ninjas replied coldly, “Miss Schulz, I am Mr. Ito’s subordinat

Raymond chuckled at the title, humble as ever, "The Duke of Wastage? Now, that's quite the royal title, and I don't think I deserve such an honor…"Trailing off, he then made an especially curious look, "By the way, how'd you know they were calling me that?"Seeing that he was still so ignorant, Jacob scoffed. "You bought a Renaissance-era bronze sculpture earlier, didn't you?"Raymond nodded. "I did. But technically, it's medieval and not Renaissance, along with a Renaissance-era base."Jacob clutched his stomach as he laughed, "Oh, please! Medieval? Hahaha… You're killing me, Mr. Cole!"Raymond kept a serious look on his face. "It's really medieval. Why don't you take a look?""No way," Jacob snorted, pursing his lips. "Anyway, word has already spread that someone was selling a counterfeit bronze sculpture to defraud Antique Street for some serious dough. He went first to Vintage Deluxe, but their manager, Mr. Crane, saw through it and didn't buy it… and then he came to you, an

That was why most of the collectors only knew that such an item existed but they did not know in whose possession it was.After registering a new account and paying the ten thousand registration fee, Raymond got in.It was very safe as it was anonymous, and he posted a photo of the bronze sculpture and an announcement with an asking price of twenty million.In his opinion, it wasn't that expensive—if it was still gilded, it would be worth around a hundred million. Without it, it was plenty reasonable to cut the price down to just thirty million.And Raymond was cutting another ten million off that, so twenty million was plenty reasonable.Moreover, medieval bronze sculptures were exceedingly rare, and less than one specimen showed up annually at times. Collectors who desired it would therefore be willing to break the bank for it, and that was why Raymond was sure that someone would put in an order once he posted it.As he wrote the summary of the item, someone knocked on his door

Jacob frowned in disdain. "Why would I be worried? He's no longer the manager of Vintage Deluxe, and he just lost a shit ton of money for messing up his appraisal. I am also the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, so why would I be worried about some loser who will soon be kicked out of Antique Street?"Straightening his collar, he snorted coldly, "I am now going to see Raymond Cole and humiliate him face-to-face! He thinks he's impressive, doesn't he? Let's see how he will keep up that facade!"Zachary chuckled, "Yes, exactly! People like him need to be given a slap in the face! As hard as you can! Don't worry—I'll be right behind you. If he gets physical, I'll rush in to help. If he doesn't dare to start a fight, you just insult him as much as possible!""Good plan!" Jacob nodded since he was concerned that Raymond might get physical when pushed too far.And with his body, there was no way he could beat anyone…Spreading his arms, he exclaimed, "Come! I'l

Mick inspected every video to see who was getting the most views, and he then paid out of his own pocket to use paid advertising to get the video viral.It cost five thousand and it hurt, but reaching the trending page was definitely worth it.Mick was quite shrewd too, making sure that the paid advertising was focused locally. After all, he knew all too well that five thousand didn't buy many clicks, and clicks from elsewhere might be too sporadic to gain any worthwhile attention.As he worked in Antique Street, he naturally had to come up with a plan to promote himself in this place, ideally presenting himself as a master appraiser.That way, his fame would slowly extend throughout the province and perhaps Eastern Oskia, and eventually the country.As such, focusing on Aurous Hill was the best idea.Moreover, he also had another idea—if Jasmine Moore happened to see this video, she would see him in a new light.When that happened, he could look forward to getting really rich!
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6478
Soon, the video of Mick's staged act was uploaded to the online group, and everyone eagerly watched it as soon as it was done uploading.Mick certainly set a new bar with his acting as none of them could see that it was an act.Moreover, everyone could see that the bronze sculpture looked like the real deal, and they might have been swindled if it were them.As such, they couldn't help being impressed as Mick had easily seen through Billy's con, and he was the definition of a pro in that video.No matter how Billy had packaged it, there was no tricking real experts like Mick Crane. Just a quick glance and he had seen through that it was a postmodern replica, matched with a base from the Renaissance era to misdirect and beguile.With that, many fellow antique dealers changed their opinion of Mick.After all, Vintage Deluxe's business had been declining after Mick took over as manager, and people were presuming that his skills were lacking.But now, they were all shown that he had

"Amazing, Mr. Crane!""It's Mr. Crane who shines through, in the end! His eyes see through everything!""I guess Miss Moore made the right choice firing Raymond and appointing Mr. Crane! Mr. Crane is infinitely better!"Mick was immediately thrilled to see them fawning over him, and he laughed, "You flatter me—I'm merely sharing my personal perspective on this. In this trade, anyone who knows would understand how hard it is to get the good stuff in this age of technology.""There are plenty of people who hold ulterior motives and change their tactics knowing that there are always those scheming to get their hands on vintage treasures, so they just have to make it. That is how they started making counterfeits of everything, from scrolls to sculptures to statues, each of them so real just to trick those fools who think they could get rich overnight!""Exactly!" Someone promptly agreed. "There's never a lack of any such fools, and I just happened to meet one. I had this piece of jade

In groups like these, any gossip would immediately spread like wildfire as people share everything here with their other circles.Within minutes of these people's good work, Antique Street was abuzz even as the skies darkened: one of the antique traders had been swindled for 300 thousand, and it was Raymond Cole—the former manager of the Vintage Deluxe at that!Some of them wondered when Raymond had actually returned while others were laughing.He was supposed to be the former manager of the Vintage Deluxe, but he had messed up as well? You had to be kidding!Many were dumbstruck too—how would Raymond survive in Antique Street after losing so much money? It had been so long since such a major scam had been pulled!As such, all the antique dealers were asking one question: how did Raymond Cole get fooled?Meanwhile, Mick didn't leak the security footage right away, instead sending his people out to spread the news in other channels, claiming that Raymond thought he had won big by
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6475
Mick had already clipped the security footage and was waiting for Zachary's word.He had checked the footage repeatedly as well and was only getting more impressed with his masterful acting by the second. He looked just like a maestro, and every detail he mentioned was flawless and showed experience.Zacahry even said that Raymond had truly slipped up with that bronze sculpture, leaving him endlessly thrilled.The proverbial missing piece of the puzzle was here!Hence, calling all the staff he trusted, he told them excitedly, "Spread the word right away—Raymond Cole slipped up, spending 300 thousand on a fake Renaissance-era bronze sculpture!"His staff had no idea of the conspiracy involved, only that Mick had said that someone had tried to sell a counterfeit bronze sculpture but he had seen through it right away and chased him away, only for Raymond to end up buying the fake bronze sculpture soon after.Someone asked, "Mr. Crane, don't you think Raymond Cole bought from the man
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6474
Raymond had said everything he should and shouldn't and with complete sincerity exactly because Billy would never believe it.As Billy just wanted to swindle him, it didn't matter how sincere Raymond was—he wanted the 300 thousand whatever it took. The key here was that Billy had refused a better prospect when told it was possible, and there was evidence that would support Raymond if either he or Zachary realized the truth and came to start trouble.That meant Raymond had nothing to worry about—they could take this to the United Nations but he'd still win this case.Having been in the antique trade for so long, he had seen every form of oddity and was always cautious with people, considering every aspect of any issue.Hence, once he downloaded the security footage to his phone, Raymond decided that he needed to sell the bronze sculpture—not because he was in urgent need of money, but because he realized that there were those who wanted him out of Aurous Hill's Antique Street.Afte
