After getting confirmation from Charlie, Albert then continued, “Lord Moore has gifted a San Lorenzo luxurious yacht made in Italy!” “A yacht?!” Elaine was the first one to blurt out the question, “What is the purpose of the yacht? Is it a yacht to visit tourist places?” Lord Moore laughed as he answered, “Let me clear any misunderstandings, Madam. San Lorenzo is an old European luxury yacht manufacturer. The length of the yacht is more than 20 meters long and has three decks. It is very suitable for family trips.” Elaine was startled and said, “I suppose a yacht like this is worth a lot, right?” Reuben, who was nearby, blurted out, “It costs around seventy million with tax.” “How much again?!”Elaine was dumbfounded. “A yacht which costs seventy million?! This is crazy!” Claire couldn’t help but cut in, “Lord Moore, I’m afraid we can’t accept such a lavish gift from you….” Charlie smiled gently and made a hand gesture to interrupt Claire and said, “Darlin

When Jacob heard the last gift, he rose from his seat immediately and asked in a trembling voice, “Antique blue and white elephant ears porcelain vase with dragon patterns?!” Albert nodded. “Correct, Mr. Wilson. It is indeed a pair of antique blue and white elephant ears porcelain vases with dragon patterns.” “My goodness!” Jacob was an antique lover. Although he was swindled rather often, he had a good understanding of the antique industry. Blue and white porcelain from the Yuan dynasty was one of the most expensive porcelain antiques. In fact, a blue and white porcelain plate from the Yuan dynasty could easily be sold up to millions. For bigger items from the Yuan dynasty, such as the blue and white porcelain pot, it had already cost over a billion during an auction more than ten years ago. If it were to be sold again in this era, it would be worth at least five billion. Jacob had obviously heard of antique blue and white elephant ears porcelain vases wi

Elaine had two sets of standards for measuring the value of items.The first set was how much money this item could be exchanged for.The second set was how much face she could gain through this item.In her eyes, everything in this world, all-inclusive, ultimately came down to money and face in the final analysis.For instance, when Charlie gave her the set of top-notch caviar skincare products, which was bought at a purchase price of nearly four hundred thousand dollars, she knew that it could be resold for at least three hundred thousand dollars. So, Elaine could clearly feel the weight and value of the three hundred thousand dollars. This was in line with her first set of standards because it was valuable!Another example was the Hermes bag that was worth a few hundred thousand dollars. Elaine would not only be able to resell the bag for one hundred thousand dollars, but she could envy and hatred of others. Elaine could feel the weight and value of the bag that was worth a few

Lord Moore gave him a yacht earlier, and Travis gave him a helicopter now.Claire was already at a loss for words purely due to shock. After receiving so many gifts, Claire could not help but feel a little afraid.She was afraid because these gifts were simply too expensive!These gifts were so expensive, and these high-class people from the upper-class society would never give other people such precious and valuable gifts.So far, the prices of all the gifts mentioned cost at least tens of millions of dollars or even more. Any single one of these gifts were all valuable treasures. Therefore, the fact that these people were giving Charlie all of these gifts made Claire suspicious. It was simply too magical and unbelievable.At this time, Travis said, “Master Wade, I heard that you do not leave Aurous Hill often. Lancaster is not too far away from Aurous Hill. It might take you four to five hours to drive there, but if you take a helicopter, you will be able to get there in about t

When everyone heard that Albert had given Charlie a villa in Tokyo, they were all rather surprised. They could not understand why Albert would give Charlie a villa all the way in Japan.However, after a moment of surprise, Isaac and Liam suddenly came to a realization! At the same time, they could not help but sigh in their hearts as they wondered why they did not think about this at all! When they were back in Japan, they had been by Charlie’s side, busy assembling the production lines of Kobayashi Pharma. After everyone arrived in Osaka, Charlie suddenly wanted to head to Kyoto alone.At that moment, Albert instantly guessed that Charlie was going to look for Nanako.Albert was a very smart man, and since he had already served Charlie for such a long time, he naturally knew some things about Charlie.He had long known that Charlie seemed to have felt some sort of appreciation for the Japanese combat and fighting athlete named Nanako. After that, the female athlete returned to J

Jonathan hurriedly replied, “Madam Elaine, that yacht has a maximum range of two thousand nautical miles, which is nearly four thousand kilometers. So, it will certainly be enough for you to travel from Aurous Hill to the estuary before heading all the way to Tokyo. However, since this will involve entry and exit from the country, you will have to report this matter to the immigration and customs in advance.”Elaine immediately said to Charlie excitedly, “My good son-in-law, why don’t we take some time to sail our yacht all the way to Japan for a vacation on our own? What do you think?”Charlie replied vaguely, “Well… we will talk about this when we have time.”Elaine hurriedly said, “Isn’t it easy to make time? Your dad and I do not go to work, and you do not report for work too. Claire is the only person who is running her own company. Since she is the boss of the company, wouldn’t she be able to take some days off from work to go for a holiday whenever she wants to?”Claire hurr

Charlie did not have many Rejuvenating Pills left.Moreover, as the saying goes, rare things were expensive. Travis spent two billion dollars just to purchase a Rejuvenating Pill, which proved that the Rejuvenating Pill was completely worth this price to the rich and wealthy. So, Charlie did not intend to give the Rejuvenating Pill as a gift to everyone.If this kind of item could be obtained so easily, then it would not appear to be so scarce or priceless, and its value would naturally fall.Therefore, Charlie planned to ask Graham to find some raw materials for him so that he could refine the first batch of pills that he had made at the very beginning. After that, he would give one of the magical pills to each of the guests who came here with gifts today.In fact, everyone simply came here to pay a New Year greeting to Charlie and give him some gifts for the New Year. However, they really did not expect that Charlie would give them a pill in return. Therefore, each and every one

Right then, Elaine persuaded her, “Oh, Claire! You don’t understand anything about Feng Shui, so you should not be interfering in Charlie’s work or telling him what to do.”After that, Elaine had a stern expression on her face as she said very seriously, “I do not expect you to be able to help Charlie in his career. However, I will never allow you to be a stumbling block in Charlie’s way! Our family’s future depends entirely on Charlie now!”“Mom…” Elaine had already rendered Claire completely speechless at this time.She could tell that her mother was already completely submissive toward Charlie, and nothing that she said would be of any use anymore.So, she could only sigh helplessly as she said, “Sigh. I am going to the company first…”Elaine hurriedly said, “Claire, aren’t you going to wait for me to open up all the gifts before you leave?”Claire shook her head and said, “I am already very late. Everyone is still waiting for me to hold a summary meeting.”Elaine said, “Alri

Don Albert was waiting at the front doors of Heaven Springs when Jacob's Cullinan arrived.He was absolutely enthusiastic in welcoming the man, even stroking his ego as much as possible as he knew Jacob and his vanity—which made that a must.Hence, as soon as Jacob stopped the Cullinan, Don Albert and the manager of Heaven Springs were immediately on hand to receive him.Mr. Bay was riding shotgun but recognized Albert right away, exclaiming, "Shit, he's coming personally to receive you too?"Jacob chuckled. "Well, he and my son-in-law have a lot of respect for each other, so I guess that respect is extended to us as well."As they spoke, Albert had reached the Cullinan and opened the door for Albert, nodding at him respectfully, "Greetings, Mr. Wilson. You can leave the keys with Mr. Carson while I escort you and your friend upstairs.""Thank you very much." Jacob grinned and turned to Mr. Bay. "Come on. Let's go.""Yes, yes, of course!" Mr. Bay smiled and nodded, a little nerv

Mr. Bay's friend promptly asked, "Was it the manager, Mr. Carson?""Nope," Mr. Bay chuckled. "Guess again.""Oh, come on!" Mr. Bay's friend whined. "You're still telling me to guess now? Just so you know, those bigwigs were so pleased when I told them we'd have the Golden Room and said they'd be bringing their cards. I'd be laughed at if I didn't give them the details right now!"Mr. Bay laughed. "Alright, alright, I'll quit being mysterious—it's Jacob Wilson, my vice president. He contacted Don Albert of Heaven Springs personally, and the man promised you the Diamond Room and the finest wines of his cellar!""Holy shit!" Mr. Bay's friend gasped. "Mr. Wilson did? For real?! And the Diamond Room on top of that?!""Indeed," Mr. Bay nodded. "And you know me. Would I kid when it comes to such matters?"Mr. Bay's friend breathed a long sigh as if he had just cheated death. "Heavens… Thank you so much, my friend! You've really saved my skin there! You have no idea how much persuasion t

Jacob wasn't really concerned with the invitation. He wouldn't be going anyway, and he wouldn't tell Elaine about it.Right now, he had a question.After hanging up on Walker, he asked curiously, "A designated driver would be just a few dozen bucks at most. Why get Walker?"Mr. Bay sighed meaningfully. "Jacob, my boy—it's not just my job description you must handle when you succeed me. You must understand the unspoken rules of the workplace as well as interpersonal relationships."Raising his right index finger, he chuckled, "Earning the loyalty of subordinates is a science. But it has to be a carrot and stick—never just the carrot, while offering them chances to be of service.""Take Walker, for example. As his boss, buying him lunch is 5 points. Ask for a favor, but it's 50 points instead!""As a leader, you should also make sure to give requests that are reasonable. That way, they will consider you to be their ally, or soon enough.""People are strange that way—psychology sim
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6392
Jacob certainly agreed with Mr. Bay. When going to a dinner where alcohol would be involved, having a designated driver would be most convenient.Still, Jacob had another plan in mind.Since he had a Cullinan and this was the perfect chance to show off, it would kill him not to drive."Actually, we should go on our own," Jacob told Mr. Bay right then. "We will take my car and get a designated driver to take us home. We can hang out in the backseat to chat—I mean, you'd be in a bad mood if you get a bad driver, bringing a car that stinks of tobacco. You know how bad it can get."Mr. Bay nodded cheerfully. "Alright! I'm counting on you!""Oh, it's only right!"Coming to an agreement, they hurried outside, with Jacob driving and Mr. Bay riding shotgun.They were having a pleasant conversation when Jacob suddenly got a call from Walker, who was his sub at Senior University.Answering with the in-car Bluetooth system, he said, "Hey, Walker. What's up?""Mr. Wilson! I'm done with cl

As such, Albert did not hesitate to say right then, "Don't worry, Mr. Wilson—since they are your friends, I will offer the half-price rebate as you've suggested! When the guests take their seats, I'll personally deliver a couple of nice bottles over as a token of my sincerity!"Oskia truly sets the bar when it comes to being humanistic.There were times when one must show due respect, but not too much either in case it changed the status quo.It was just like a couple eating out with a third-wheel.Even if the third-wheel was better off and happily took the check as the girl watched, there would inevitably be competitiveness. The generosity might even lead to the girl getting attracted to the third-wheel.As such, since Jacob was actually secondary in importance at the event, Albert would have to make sure not to rain on the host's parade while showing his respects to Jacob. Otherwise, the host may hold a grudge against Jacob even if everything was free of charge.And when it cam

Jacob put a hand on his chest. "Don't worry—everything is going to be fine when my son-in-law takes the stage."As soon as he finished speaking, an unknown number called his phone.He answered, hearing a familiar voice he couldn't quite place, "Good afternoon. Am I speaking to Mr. Jacob Wilson?""Yes. May I ask who I am speaking to?""Albert Rhodes, owner of Heaven Springs at your service. Would you happen to remember me?"Hearing that, Jacob turned on the speaker excitedly as he continued, "Oh, yes, Don Albert! Of course I remember!"Mr. Bay's eyes lit up when he heard Albert announce himself, and he mouthed, "Is that really Don Albert?!"Jacob nodded repeatedly, his vanity burgeoning.Mr. Bay was naturally thrilled too, and he leaned closer to listen just as Albert spoke humbly, "If it's alright with you, Mr. Wilson, please don't address me as Don Albert. It's just a title some brats came up with—you are Master Wade's father-in-law, which means you have seniority over me. So,

Mr. Bay was overjoyed, seeing how quickly Jacob agreed to it. "Thanks, Jacob! I owe you!" He exclaimed, but soon added, "It's past four now, and that bunch like to fraternize in the room before they eat. Could you get the room soon? I think they'll be arriving soon."Then, he moved closer to add quietly, "If you can get a Diamond Room like before, I will bring you along. I'm not going to lie, these are officials with decision-making authority. Being friends with them might propel us to new heights!"Jacob already knew that Mr. Bay was sucking up to his friend, otherwise, he wouldn't be so concerned when the dinner was organized by said friend. Understanding that the friend must be important too, Jacob was at once buoyed.After all, he had presumed that becoming vice president was the most he could achieve.Now, if he could attend that dinner with Mr. Bay and establish a good relationship with those bigwigs, he would have his turn when Mr. Bay got promoted too.With that in min

Reservations in Heaven Springs had always been unpredictable, and most rooms weren't open to the general public—even if said rooms were vacant for the night.It was not as if Albert Rhodes didn't want to make money when he built Heaven Springs. He simply didn't do it solely for profit, but only mostly for social events and posturing.Back when he was a humbler member of society, he realized that many bigwigs and even his fellows cared for pride a lot. Be it food, liquor, or even simply everyday consumption, they always strove for the best and the most expensive.That was why polite society valued their privacy and established their respective social circles, which was why Heaven Springs ensured that everything was first-rate: atmosphere, service, food, and clientele.Just like how bigwigs wouldn't dine at the same table as their goons, said goons wouldn't eat at the fancy places those bigwigs frequented even if they had money, as it may appear as if they were overstepping.That wa

As such, intent on keeping up his pretense, Jacob answered the phone, "Looking for me, Matilda?""Uh-huh," Matilda replied, and asked, "You didn't show up at Senior University, and your sub is saying you probably won't be coming for a while? Is that true?""Oh—right, that," Jacob quickly said. "Well, it's true—the gist of it is that the Association is getting busy with a project. As the vice president, I probably shouldn't be staying at Senior University all the time, right?""Heck, Mr. Bay called me last minute, telling me how busy we're going to be and that I was needed. That's why I had to go back, but I will head over to campus again when I have the time."Matilda knew right then that those were all excuses.However, she did not expose Jacob, instead asking, "Well, when are you free? So that I can send you my wedding invitation?""Oh, the invitation?" Jacob quickly chuckled. "You really didn't have to come to me—just pass it to Walker, my sub lecturer. He can pass it to me wh
