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
Tyler, who was lying on the bed, picked up the cell phone, and he laughed as he said, “Reuben, I am already home. That’s right. Don’t worry. That old man did not notice anything abnormal at all. He is feeling a little unwell, probably because he is mentally and physically exhausted. He has already gone back to his room to rest.”At this time, the high-fidelity directional microphone also caught Reuben’s voice from the phone call, and he could be heard asking, “Dad, when are you going to give the medicine to that old man?”Tyler smiled as he said, “Don’t worry. There is no suitable timing for me to do so yet. I have already instructed the chef to prepare a bowl of bird’s nest for your grandfather. I will take it from them later and add the medicine to the bird’s nest before sending it to his room. I will stay there and watch him finish it in front of me!”Reuben hurriedly asked again, “Dad, how long will it take for the medicine to take effect, then?”Tyler replied, “Since time is a
As soon as Oscar heard Lord Moore’s instructions, he did not hesitate as he nodded his head and said, “Lord Moore, don’t worry. You can rest assured that I will keep all of your instructions in mind!”It was only then that Lord Moore could finally feel relieved. He waved his hands weakly before he said, “Oscar, I am feeling a little tired. You can go ahead and get busy. I will rest for a short while.”Oscar replied nervously, “Lord Moore, why don’t you go and rest in the bedroom, then? I will be keeping guard in the living room outside. Otherwise, I will really feel very worried…”Lord Moore had a wry smile on his face as he asked him, “Are you afraid that you will not be by my side when they are giving me the medicine?”“That’s right…” Oscar’s eyes were flushed red, and he said seriously. “Lord Moore, although Master Wade is truly very capable and powerful, when it comes to this kind of matter, I am honestly afraid that something bad will happen…”Lord Moore smiled indifferently
Therefore, after Tyler had given him the medicine and before Charlie came back, Lord Moore would be a patient with Alzheimer’s disease.A patient with Alzheimer’s disease would not know how to use their cell phones. So, Lord Moore would not be able to touch his cell phone during this period of time.Thus, Lord Moore decided to delete the software directly from his cell phone as a precautionary step.After that, Lord Moore retrieved the Rejuvenating Pill before he scraped a layer off from the pill. He then diluted it in water and took it directly.Soon after, he returned to his bed and laid down.At this time, the visual screen at the head of his bed suddenly lit up. Lord Moore could see Tyler appearing in the picture, followed by a melodious ringtone.This was the sound of the doorbell for Lord Moore’s room.As his own suite was really big, whenever he was in the study room or bedroom, he would not be able to hear anyone knocking on his door outside. Therefore, h
Lord Moore’s sudden sigh made Tyler feel more or less guilty.However, after observing Lord Moore carefully, Tyler realized that there was nothing wrong or abnormal with the old man at all. So, he immediately felt relieved.He felt that he had never gone against any of Lord Moore’s intentions at all. He did not even express strong opposition when the old man had decided to give the position as the head of the Moore family to Jasmine. So, there should be no reason for the old man to doubt him at all.Thus, Tyler smiled as he said respectfully, “Dad, you should finish drinking it while it is hot. After this, I will ask the chef to prepare a pot of nutritious chicken soup for you later in the evening so that you can replenish your body.”Lord Moore nodded, but he did not say anything at all as he finished drinking all the bird’s nest in the bowl.When Tyler saw that the old man had finished up the entire bowl of bird’s nest, Tyler was completely relieved. At this time, he sneered as
Several servants suddenly ran over and asked, “Sir, what happened?!”Tyler replied, “I pressed Lord Moore’s doorbell a couple of times, but he did not respond at all. I am afraid that something might have happened to him. You should help me to knock this door open!”When the several servants heard this, they suddenly felt very nervous. One of them took the initiative and said, “I will do it!”Another person hurriedly said, “I will do it with you too!”At this time, Oscar also hurried over to Tyler as he asked nervously, “Sir, what happened to Lord Moore?”When Tyler saw Oscar, he hurriedly said, “Uncle Oscar, you’ve come at the right time. My father is in the room, but he did not respond at all even after I pressed the doorbell several times. I am afraid that something has already happened to him!”Oscar’s heart tensed immediately, and he realized that Tyler must have already given the medicine to the old man. Oscar suddenly felt a little angry, sad, and worried all at the same t
Tyler hurriedly made the arrangements to send Lord Moore to the hospital before returning to his room to change into a new set of clothes.As he was changing into a new set of clothes, Tyler called Reuben to officially inform him to return to Aurous Hill immediately.Reuben had been waiting for this news all this while. So, he hurriedly arranged for the private jet to make all the necessary preparations to take off. He arranged for the flight to leave Tokyo early in the morning the next day.To prevent Charlie from having any doubts or suspicions, Reuben also called Charlie. Reuben was very respectful toward Charlie over the phone as he said, “Master Wade, I just received a phone call from my father. It seems that there is some problem with my grandfather’s health, and my father asked me to rush back to Aurous Hill as soon as possible. Therefore, I might be leaving Tokyo early in the morning tomorrow…”Charlie pretended to be surprised as he asked, “Reuben, what is wrong with your
Two years ago, a big Japanese boss had bought a bluefin tuna weighing two hundred and seventy-eight kilograms, and he had paid a total of 3.1 million US dollars for it. The average price per kilogram was eleven thousand US dollars.If this kind of high-quality bluefin tuna was delivered to the top restaurants, the price would be several times higher.The price of eating the most expensive bluefin tuna in the most high-end shops was even more expensive than gold.As for the fifty-year-old Yamazaki whiskey, it was Japan’s top national whiskey, and a single bottle of this whiskey cost more than three million dollars.The fact that Yahiko was hosting a banquet using such expensive ingredients and drinks was already sufficient to prove the importance and value that he attached to Charlie.When Charlie entered the dining room, he saw that Yahiko had already been waiting there for a long time.At this time, there was a huge bluefin tuna that was placed in the center of the huge wooden d
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
