As soon as Reuben had left, Nanako hurriedly said, “Charlie-kun, you’re right! After meeting him, I also feel that there is something wrong with Reuben!”Charlie said coldly, “Anyone who is weak-minded and has a guilty conscience will definitely reveal themselves unintentionally no matter how mentally strong they are. Reuben obviously became very nervous after seeing you because he fears the Ito family’s power and ability. He knows that once the Ito family intervenes, we will find out about the truth of this matter, so he must be very scared at the moment.”With that, Charlie added, “I think he will probably try to escape before we expose the incident. You must let your ninjas closely monitor him. We can not let him escape!”Nanako nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Charlie-kun. I’ve made all the arrangements. Just now, when Reuben came over, my ninjas had already rushed to the hotel. They will be at the hotel around the clock to monitor Reuben!”Charlie smiled in satisfaction and said
When Tyler learned that the Ito family was going to help Charlie search for Jasmine and investigate the incident, he was scared out of his wits even though he was 2000 kilometers away.There was no perfect crime in this world. When they planned to kill Jasmine, all they had thought of was to leave all the clues and trails in Japan so that everyone would think that Jasmine had perished in Japan and that they had nothing to do with it.However, once it was known that they were related to Jasmine’s death or even found out that they were the masterminds behind it, it would be a big problem.Not only would they have to face the wrath of Lord Moore, but the domestic law enforcement agencies would not let them go so easily either. Although the crime had been committed abroad, the victim was an Oskian, and the local laws could be applied to arrest and charge them.Moreover, once people knew that it was them who had murdered Jasmine, their reputation and that of the entire Moore family woul
After a pause, Tyler continued, “Besides, you know Jasmine’s style of work. She has no high pursuit in her own quality of life, so she puts all her attention in firming and expanding the family’s business empire. When Moore Group earns the profits and revenues, she will immediately use this money for a new expansion. Because of her style, no one gets their fair share of profits. Of course, they’re pissed.”With that, Tyler sneered, “If I become the head of the family, I’m sure when I propose to liquidate the assets and divide them up, your uncles will not refuse my suggestion. By then, I can take a relatively large share and let them split the rest among themselves. They will not have any objections.”Reuben couldn’t help but ask, “What if they do? What if they ask for an equal share on a per capita basis? After all that we’ve done, wouldn’t it all be for their benefit?”Tyler said with a smile, “Don’t worry. I’ve considered all these issues. After I finish up my business with the o
Reuben was immediately relieved when he found out that his father had a complete solution to this matter.What Reuben and his father wanted was not to become the so-called head of the Moore family. However, they simply wanted a big portion of the Moore family’s assets.After removing Jasmine from the equation, the best situation would naturally be if they could manage to take control of the entire Moore family steadily. However, if they could not achieve this goal, the father and son would already be very satisfied if they could just take a step back and get their hands on most of the family’s assets.Therefore, Tyler was not afraid that the truth behind Jasmine’s murder would be revealed, but he was simply afraid that this truth would be revealed too early.He needed to buy some time. He needed sufficient time difference for him to get rid of Lord Moore so that he could cash out all the Moore family assets before fleeing to the United States.The biggest question at this moment w
Nanako asked again, “Charlie-kun, what are you going to do, then?”Charlie smiled as he said, “I am planning to beat them at their own game.”“Beat them at their own game?” Nanako asked in surprise, “Charlie-kun, how are you going to do that?”Charlie smiled as he said, “Reuben and his father think that Jasmine’s chances of survival are very slim, right? Moreover, aren’t they confident that Lord Moore will definitely get Alzheimer’s? If they truly succeed in their plan and if I announce to the Moore family that there is nothing to be found in the search for Jasmine in Tokyo, wouldn’t Reuben and his father be able to heave a huge sigh of relief?”Nanako nodded before she said, “That’s for sure. The pair of father and son would probably be so happy that they could celebrate this matter with fireworks.”Charlie smiled as he asked, “Then, what would happen to them if they found out that Lord Moore did not have dementia and Jasmine was actually not dead at all just when they were being
Aurous Hill. The Moore family mansion.When Tyler came home, he pretended to be very nervous and anxious as he asked Lord Moore many questions. The expression on his face was also filled with concern for Jasmine.Lord Moore could not help but feel very puzzled and bewildered as he looked at his eldest son.He honestly did not want to believe that the eldest son he had raised for more than fifty years actually had the intention to harm him.If it was anyone else who had said these words, Lord Moore would never believe it.However, since these words had come out of Charlie’s mouth, even if Lord Moore did not want to believe it, he had to pay extra attention to this matter.This was because Lord Moore knew very well in his heart that Master Wade’s abilities were all above the sky. Based on his character and personality, Charlie would never say anything irresponsible.Since Charlie had said so, he must have some evidence to support his statement!As he thought of this, Lord Moore l
Back then, when Lord Moore had been in his prime, he had always acted aggressively and decisively.Even at that time, Oscar had always stayed by his side, and he had personally witnessed Lord Moore overcoming all obstacles and succeeding in fulfilling his high ambitions.Whenever Lord Moore was about to do something big and great, he would always have this kind of firm and determined expression in his eyes.Oscar hurriedly followed the old man into the study room. After Lord Moore waited for him to close the door behind him, Oscar was immediately shocked by Lord Moore’s first sentence!“Oscar, I want you to activate all of the monitoring and surveillance systems at home. From now on, I want to monitor and keep an eye on Tyler’s every move!”Oscar was stunned as soon as he heard this!Before Lord Moore had moved into this villa, he had specially instructed Oscar to look for the best security monitoring company in the market to quietly install a complete set of internal monitoring
The difficulty of running a large family could be comparable to running a country.The current conflict and fight between the big families could be said to be exactly the same as the fights and conflicts between the ancient princes which were recorded in the history books.The ancient princes would not hesitate to kill their own brothers or father just so they could succeed the throne.This kind of thing was not uncommon in society today, especially in large families with assets worth more than one hundred million dollars.Although the sons of the Moore family had always been very united and harmonious in the past, Lord Moore had already made all the necessary preparations for the worst.Now, the internal monitoring system that he had prepared had indeed come in handy.Oscar immediately walked toward the bookcase before he found a secret switch. After that, the bookcase moved slightly to the left, revealing a huge display that was embedded into the wall.Oscar quickly turned on
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
