This villa was, after all, the best and largest villa within the urban area in Aurous Hill. Furthermore, this villa had already undergone a very luxurious renovation. The decoration style was very flamboyant and ostentatious, and the decoration of the villa was clearly done in a way to show off their riches and wealth.So, Jennifer and the other two women were already in awe and extremely excited when they took a look at the villa.This was because they had already been imagining how Lady Wilson’s villa would actually look like.However, even their most daring guesses were far from the actual situation and condition of the villa!At this time, Yulia exclaimed from the side, “This… what kind of villa is this? This place looks more like a palace, right?!”“Bullsh*t!” Yara blurted out, “This villa is much more luxurious compared to a palace! D*mn it! Just look at that sofa! It is so beautiful! I am going to lie down on the sofa for a while!”As she spoke, Yara had already run toward
Lady Wilson did not know that while she was on the way to the hospital, her house had already been occupied by Jennifer and the other two women.Lady Wilson, Wendy, and Hannah rushed to the hospital in a hurry to look for Christopher and Harold. At this time, both the father and son looked like mummies, as their limbs were all wrapped in plaster casts.Although neither one of them was in a life-threatening state, they had fractured all of their limbs and had already completely lost the ability to move. They could only lie in bed and wail at this time.As soon as Lady Wilson walked through the door, she was shocked and anxious when she saw both of them in this condition. She hurriedly stepped forward and asked, “Christopher! Harold! The both of you… what happened to the both of you?!”When Christopher and Harold saw Lady Wilson coming in, they could not control their tears anymore, and they began to weep loudly.This was especially so for Harold, who was crying very miserably.Wen
With that, Lady Wilson turned around and left the ward.She walked toward the cashier as she said, “I am here to pay for Christopher and Harold Wilson’s hospitalization fee.”The other party looked into the information for a short moment before she said, “The fee for the incurred treatment is 26,700 dollars, and you have to pay a deposit of 80,000 dollars for the hospitalization fee. The total amount that you have to pay today is 106,700 dollars.”Lady Wilson could not help but feel some pain.“One hundred thousand dollars is not a lot of money, but it is not a small sum of money either. If Donald does not compensate us by a hundred times, I really will not be able to sleep at night!”As she thought about this, Lady Wilson took out a bank card from her purse before she handed it over to the other party. “Here, you can swipe my bank card.”The other party took the bank card before swiping it on the POS machine and entering the amount. After that, the cashier told Lady Wilson, “Ple
When the cashier saw Lady Wilson standing blankly on the spot, he asked her, “Madam, are you still going to pay the hospitalization bill? If you refuse to pay, we might have to ask you to discharge the two patients immediately.”Lady Wilson hurriedly took out her other bank cards. After choosing one, she handed it over to the other party as she said, “Try this card!”The cashier nodded before taking the card in his hand and swiping it on the POS machine. After Lady Wilson entered the password, he shook his head and said, “This bank card is also frozen.”“Then, try this one!”In the end, Lady Wilson passed all of her bank cards to the cashier in succession, only to find out that all of her bank cards had already been frozen.This made Lady Wilson feel extremely desperate!Just as she was at a loss for what to do, she suddenly received a phone call. Lady Wilson hurriedly answered the phone only to hear the other party saying, “Hello, madam. I am calling to inform you that all the e
Donald Webb said coldly, “There is no misunderstanding. I’ve already lost all confidence in your entire family. So, I don’t expect you to do anything for me. Since this is the case, why don’t you just divest now? What else are you waiting for?”Lady Wilson immediately pleaded pitifully. “Mr. Webb! Is this all because of what my son and grandson did today that made you dissatisfied? If they didn’t do a good job, please do not hesitate to comment. I will definitely make sure that they change for the better. Please… I beg you… Please give our family another chance!”Donald was getting impatient. “I’ve already given you a chance, but it was you who did not appreciate the opportunity and did not do a good job! So, don’t bother begging me now.”Lady Wilson felt desperation growing in her heart. Suddenly, she thought of the incident at the villa. “Mr. Webb, we signed an agreement regarding the villa. You agreed to a ten-year lease. You can’t go back on your promise now. Otherwise, our fami
Elaine’s situation was no less tragic.She was sent to the best Orthopedic hospital by Albert’s men, and an expert was immediately arranged to conduct an emergency operation on her knee joint.In fact, the best method to treat her injuries was to perform the surgery as soon as possible. Using steel plates and nails, they can fix the knee in position before casting it with plaster for protection.This way, the recovery process should be the most effective.After the surgery, she was sent back to the ward, where Albert’s men were already awaiting her arrival.The subordinate immediately said to Elaine, “Ms. Elaine, your contribution to the arrest of Cecilia was tremendous. Due to this, your surgery expenses will be covered by our Interpol.”Elaine looked at her right leg cast in plaster and couldn't help but feel sad as tears began streaming down her face. She choked. “Mr. Officer, no matter what happens, please don’t let Cecilia go.”The man nodded and said solemnly, “Ms. Elaine,
Elaine cried and said, “Let’s not talk about this anymore. The MLM organization took revenge on me. They grabbed me and bludgeoned me up… I lost some hair, and I broke my legs...”“What?!” Claire cried out in shock. “Did you make a police report?”Elaine continued sobbing. “I already did. The police officer has already apprehended them. Please just come to visit me as soon as possible.”Claire quickly asked, “Which hospital? I will head over there right now.”Elaine choked, “I’m at the Aurous Hill Orthopedics Hospital, come quickly… ”Claire tried to keep her composure. “Alright. Hang in there and wait for me, mom. I’ll be right there.”Claire hung up and immediately sped off to the hospital. As she was driving, she called Charlie.Charlie, meanwhile, had just reached home and was casually watching tv in the living room.Jacob, his father-in-law, had just returned as well. He was preparing to brew a pot of tea so he and Charlie could both enjoy a drink.Charlie received Claire
While Charlie and Jacob hurriedly made their way to the hospital, Claire had already arrived.When both the men arrived at the ward, Elaine was holding Claire’s hand, crying pitifully.Claire was constantly wiping her tears while feeling a tug in her heartstrings.Although Charlie had heard that his mother-in-law suffered a terrible fate, he was standing outside and did not go in to check on her; thus, he didn’t see to what extent her condition was.Plus, after Elaine was taken out by Albert’s men, she was directly sent to the hospital. Charlie did not manage to see her face either.Now, seeing Elaine in person with a bluish-black nose and a swollen face, with a patch of missing hair on her forehead, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. “Oh my… My mother-in-law is in quite a bad shape. It was indeed an unforeseen circumstance that put her in this state. Who would have thought that Carmen would really go after her?”Seeing Charlie’s arrival, Elaine, who was aggrieved, finally f
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
