The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1747
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

The hotel management quickly discovered the anomaly.In fact, it was the guests staying on the floors beneath them who were the first to discover this problem. They noticed that two thick ropes were hanging outside the window, and they quickly informed the hotel’s front desk about this matter.The front desk employees trailed the two ropes’ source and found them hanging out of Sophie’s room.Upon realizing that her room was empty and turned upside down, the person in charge of the hotel immediately panicked.The Schulz siblings were not just their most distinguished guests, but the entire Schulz family was also one of Aman Hotel Group’s shareholders. Therefore, they could not afford to take this matter lightly.Immediately, they rushed to the Schulz entourage rooms, keen to find out the truth to get to the bottom of this matter.Unexpectedly, and much to their horror, all that they could find in each room were one corpse after the other.All of the subordinates and assistants wo

An hour later, two private jets took off from Eastcliff International Airport. Over a hundred Schulz family’s top combat masters were dispatched to Tokyo.A storm was already brewing beneath the tranquil city.When the police officers in Tokyo found out about the entire matter, they were shaken to their core, and it caused a considerable commotion. They knew that an incident, where more than a dozen were murdered and two kidnapped, was not only vicious but also would most likely be internationally newsworthy.The Tokyo police officers immediately cordoned off Aman Hotel Tokyo. The officers from the Criminal Investigation Department began combing through every inch of the hotel to search for any valuable clues or evidence that they could find.They first found the cell phone that Jaime had left behind in Sophie’s room and Jaime and Yahiko’s call history. It wasn’t long after that they stumbled upon the exclusive shuriken belonging to the Fujibayashi family’s ninja in one of the Sc

Charlie was out walking on the streets of Osaka.He did not allow Isaac and the others to follow him out this time.Charlie wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to directly eliminate the remaining three ninjas who were still tailing him.This was because Osaka was their last stop for their business itinerary, and he wanted to get rid of these three men tailing him as soon as possible so he could quickly visit Kyoto.He deliberately led Masatetsu and his juniors out of the downtown area as he prepared to look for a suitable place to begin the attack.However, he really did not expect the three men who had been tailing him quietly from about two to three hundred meters would suddenly turn around and retreat.Charlie could not help but wonder: ‘What is going on? Why aren’t they following me anymore? Are they aware of something?’‘That shouldn’t be right. I am all alone, and I showed no intention of attacking anyway. I have been acting as though I was completely ignorant o

He repeatedly nodded. “I will listen to everything you say. Please do not act so impulsively. This shuriken has been smeared with poison. I will be done for if the shuriken tears even just a little of my skin barrier…”…At the same time. Masatetsu and his second junior quickly packed all of their essential belongings before taking the elevator down to the hotel lobby.They could not even afford to waste a single second to check out of their hotel rooms. They could only think of getting into their car so that they could head back to Tokyo as soon as possible.However, after exiting the hotel, they realized that their car was not waiting for them here.Masatetsu cursed in frustration. “Damn it! Third junior, that bastard! Why is he still dilly-dallying? Call him now!!”Second junior took out his cell phone immediately to call third junior, cursing, “Third junior, what are you doing?! Why aren’t you out here yet?”Third junior acted under Charlie’s order as he said, “Second s

“I…I…cough…cough…cough…”Second junior’s face was turning a ghastly blue as he was being strangled.He wanted to say something, but he couldn’t bring himself to say anything at all, aside from the word, ‘I.’He looked at Charlie with frightened, pleading eyes as he was hoping that Charlie would leave him a way out.However, Charlie simply said indifferently, “I will not attack anyone unless they attack me first. The few of you have been tailing me all the way from Tokyo. You guys intend to kill me before I leave Japan. So, you think I’m going to just let you go?”When Masatetsu’s second junior heard this, he was filled with despair.Charlie continued nonchalantly, “Alright then, I’ll make your life short; it’ll be an easy and painless death.”His grip tightened. An eerie crackling sound could be heard from the other party’s neck, and within seconds, he lost his vitality completely.Charlie then stuffed the bodies of both the second and third juniors into the trunk to make it se

Charlie asked with a smile, “Aren’t you going to ask me how I found out your identity?”Masatetsu’s eyes were wide opened in shock as he stared at Charlie. “You…you knew about it all along?!” he asked in return.Charlie nodded and smiled. “Of course, I know about it!”“That is impossible!”“Why is it impossible? Blame it on your weak Japanese ninjas.”Masatetsu was in great shock. “Were you the one who killed my fourth junior?”Charlie nodded casually, and he replied, “That’s right. It was me.”“I also killed your second and third juniors. Their dead bodies are lying inside your car trunk now.”“You bastard!!” Masatetsu roared. Immediately after, a dagger suddenly fell out of his left sleeve and dropped right into his left palm.Masatetsu channeled all the strength he had onto his left hand, as he tried to stab Charlie with all of his might. Charlie simply smiled in amusement when he saw Masatetsu’s attempt. Charlie continued gripping Masatetsu’s right arm with one hand, w

Later, after Charlie told Jeremiah over the phone about the joint venture with the Ackers to establish Curtis Autos, the old man was awash with tears, especially after Charlie told him that it was Keith who suggested it. After all, Curtis was his favorite son whose death he could never really get over. Moreover, he once believed that only his family mourned Curtis while the Ackers never did, and he held a grudge over his son's passing. As such, he was surprised that Keith held such great respect toward his late son and didn't hesitate to say yes when Charlie invited him to Aurous Hill to sign an agreement with the Ackers.Still, Charlie wasn't in a hurry to arrange for a specific time, and he was going to let the Ackers sort out the human resources of Godot Autos over a few days. It still wouldn't be too late by then.Moreover, he was keen to allow the buzz to have time to grow so that the automotive industry would be astounded by the joint project between the Ackers and the Wade

Christian was the first to exclaim in approval, "Yes! Curtis Autos sounds wonderful! It has my vote!""Seconded!" Kaiden nodded, pumping the air with his right fist. "I've looked up to Curtis the most, and I absolutely agree with naming the company after him!"Jaxson was nodding too. "Me too!""Yes!" Lulu chirped.Yolden couldn't help agreeing as well. "Curtis Autos is definitely a good name!"Merlin raised his hand gingerly as well. "Quit it with your flattery already," Keith chuckled, and he turned toward Charlie solemnly. "In the end, Curtis is Charlie's father, and the final decision goes to him!"Charlie's eyes were welling up with tears—his parents had been gone for almost three decades, yet he had never thought of dedicating anything to their memory.As such, Keith's suggestion to use Curtis's name for the car company left him thrilled. After all, wouldn't his father's soul be honored if Curtis Autos rocked the country, maybe even the world?With that in mind, he nodd

Charlie also had to agree that this was an opportunity to formally reconcile the Wades and the Ackers.While he couldn't reveal himself just yet, the Wades and the Ackers had been in-laws for years. Even if they had had a dispute for the longest time, restoring good relations made sense now that the Ackers had come to Oskia, and it wouldn't arouse any suspicion.That was why Charlie agreed to it without hesitation, even making a mental note to invite his paternal grandfather, Jeremiah, to Aurous Hill.The old geezers could meet up and clear the air while deciding on the partnership.Yolden was prepared to resign as a professor as well so that he could help the Ackers and Charlie fully develop their automotive company.With a general direction planned, he asked everyone, "Since we're creating a new brand, has anyone come up with a name?"No one was feeling inspired at that moment, but that was when Lulu, who had been silent throughout, said, "Since Charlie and our family are worki

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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6583
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
