The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 2177
At 10.55 am in the morning. Suddenly, Moore Group had a stock suspension. The stock suspension signified the temporary halt of trading. From this moment, the shares of Moore Group were sealed. There was no rise and fall until trading resumed. To apply for a stock suspension from the commission required a very strong reason. For Moore Group, the reason for the stock suspension was because the group had a huge announcement to make. Generally, stock suspensions happened before a listed group made an important announcement. This was to prevent insider trading and stop the informed from being opportunistic. For example, in the past, Amazing Tiger 360 used to be a very famous internet company. They sought to be listed in Oskia and were able to be listed in the local A-shares albeit via the backdoor. This was the so-called backdoor listing. To put it plainly, when a company could not fulfill certain requirements set by the commission for public listin

After all, Charlie was known as the true dragon. Therefore, Reuben dared not neglect him at all. Seeing Charlie arrive alone, he immediately stepped forward and said to him respectfully, “Master Wade, you’re here!” Charlie nodded slightly. With a tinge of regret, he said, “Reuben, I’m sorry. In regards to Jasmine’s case, I’ve tried my best…” Charlie purposely said “tried my best”, these three words, but there was no response. On the other hand, when Reuben heard these three words, he immediately assumed a scenario where a patient was brought to the hospital with little hope of survival, and these words were spoken to the patient’s family. Thus, in his mind, he added elements that were not meant by Charlie. He quietly mulled, ‘Indeed, it looks like Charlie couldn’t find Jasmine’s whereabouts. Moreover, Charlie is now back in Oskia, so he must’ve given up on searching. This means Dad and I can finally have peace of mind.’ Reuben’s heart was invigorated, but he pret

Once the female secretary finished her opening address, the crowd gave a roaring round of applause. The ten board members of Moore Group entered through the side door one by one. Charlie did not know these people who walked in front except for the last two, which were Reuben, and his father, Tyler. Despite entering last, the central seat on the podium was empty and reserved for Tyler. After he went on stage, he straightaway sat in the central seat. Just as he was seated, he saw a person who was seated in the VIP seat in the first row—Charlie. Seeing Charlie, Tyler became a bit nervous inside, just like Reuben. As the saying goes, a thief was bound to have a guilty conscience. Tyler was also worried that all his evil deeds would be exposed one day. He was especially scared of Charlie, because to him, Charlie posed the biggest threat. If his deeds were to be exposed one day, he would not be scared of the police looking for him. Instead, h

Now, Tyler himself had acknowledged this fact. Thus, this matter was cast in stone and could be regarded as official news to be announced to the public right away. However, at this moment, Charlie suddenly asked coldly, “Mr. Moore, Ms. Jasmine Moore is only lost at the moment. There is no confirmation of her death. I would like to ask. If Ms. Jasmine comes back safely one day, would you return the position of chairman to her?” Tyler thought that today would be the easiest transition of power. Moreover, he also felt that he had convinced the entire board. The only thing left was to announce it to the public. Under these circumstances, it would be impossible for anyone to cause trouble. However, he would never have thought that Charlie would actually trouble him suddenly at this moment. Despite feeling very furious in his heart, he still answered politely, “Don’t worry, everybody. During the board meeting, we agreed on a basic principle. Even though I was v

The moment Jasmine appeared, everyone was struck dumb except Charlie. No one would have imagined that Jasmine, who was missing with no news about her life and death, would suddenly appear at the press conference. Just a second ago, Moore Group had just announced Tyler as the new chairman after a board meeting because the company could not confirm whether Jasmine was still alive. However, the next second, Jasmine was suddenly back! Almost no one could accept this huge twist. Even the movies were not scripted this way! The one who could not accept this reality the most was naturally the new chairman of Moore Group—Tyler. At this moment, Tyler looked at Jasmine. He was so angry that eye sockets were about to crack open! His eyes goggled widely, his eyeballs reddened. At the same time, blood veins crawled all over them. That pair of eyes almost fell out of its eye sockets. He would never have dreamt that Jasmine could return from Japan ali

Under the gaze of the crowd, Jasmine strode toward the podium. At this moment, many journalists reached out their microphones. There was one journalist who sounded breathless and crazed as he asked, “Ms. Moore, Ms. Moore. I’m a journalist from the South Region Financial Times. I would like to know, how did you escape alive from the accident over the cliff in Japan?” Jasmine stopped walking, smiled, and answered, “When the accident happened, fortunately, I wasn’t in the car.” Another person asked, “Ms. Moore, since you were not in the car, after so many days, the Japanese police were still looking for you, so why didn’t you show up?” Jasmine replied lightly, “The reason I didn’t show up was because I suspected the accident had purposely been set up by people who were out to get me. For my safety, I decided not to show up.” Once these words came out, the crowd gasped! Jasmine’s accident had been purposely set up?! If this was true, that meant there were p

At this moment, Tyler was still under the impression that what he had done had not been exposed. At the same time, he mumbled to himself, “It doesn’t matter if that d*mned Jasmine has come back. Now that that old thing has lost his mind, she will lose her only support in Moore Group, and I have all the chances in the world to trap her in the future!”At this time, Jasmine looked at Tyler and asked in a crisp voice, “Uncle Tyler, I heard that the board of directors elected you as the new chairman because I was not here, am I right?”Tyler rubbed his hands rather awkwardly and forced a smile. “Haha… I… Uh… Everyone agreed that the company couldn’t be without a leader, so they elected me to replace you.”Jasmine nodded and said seriously, “In that case, I thank you for supporting me and the company while I wasn’t here.”With that, she diverted the subject and asked, “Uncle, you just said that if I came back, you would voluntarily return the chairman position to me. That’s still vali

Charlie smiled faintly. “Don’t worry, Mr. Moore. There will be no confidential matter discussed in today’s board meeting.”“Uh…” Hearing this, Tyler became even more nervous, and his heart began beating violently.He thought, ‘What the hell does he mean by that? Why does he sound like he knows everything?’Just then, the door of the conference hall was pushed open, and more than thirty people in black barged in.The directors of the Moore Group were all startled by this shocking scene.Tyler shouted nervously, “Who are you?! Who let you in? Where are the security guards? Hey, come and kick them out!”Reuben also hurriedly yelped, “You’d better leave right now or we’ll call the police!”Charlie, who hadn’t spoken much, said indifferently, “Tyler, I asked them to come. Do you have a problem with that?”Horrified, Tyler blurted out, “M-Master Wade, you asked them to come? Why?!”Charlie replied emotionlessly, “They are here to support Jasmine. She has just returned to Moore Group

Unable to nitpick on the air stewardess' response, Elaine pouted, "Well, try to ask management to improve on your first-class cabins anyway. Maybe even make a premium-class or something since it's not like we can't afford it."The air stewardess quickly said, "We will definitely relay your message to the management."Nodding in satisfaction, Elaine waved her off. "Alright. You can go back to work now."Clearly relieved, the air stewardess bowed her head respectfully. "Always happy to be of service."After the air stewardess left, Jacob asked Elaine in curiosity, "Was the private jet that good?"Elaine rolled her eyes. "Didn't you see the stuff I posted in the chat group?""Not really," Jacob blurted. Elaine was ready to snap at him for not caring, but considering that they had made up now and she shouldn't fuss too much over the little things, she snorted, "Just remember to like and comment on all my posts in the chat group, otherwise, I will make you regret it!""No problem!"

While the ten collectors were taking turns studying the bronze sculpture, Jacob and Elaine were boarding their flight.As they were flying first-class, they had priority over the other passengers and boarded from the separate plug door at the first-class section.The capacity of the Boeing 777 was huge, and the wide-body aircraft could be connected to a special double corridor bridge where first class and business class passengers boarded separately from the economy class passengers.As the terminals to economy class and business class were connected, Elaine and Jacob were able to get through the first-class terminal unimpeded, but the passengers in economy class had a queue of over two hundred passengers. Even as she walked, Elaine was looking over her shoulder and exclaiming at Jacob, "Must be nice being rich! We used to have to queue like the rest of them, waiting for over thirty minutes just to board our flight." "In first class, we may be in the same plane, but we don't hav

Meanwhile, once Raymond had briefed everyone about the rules, he opened the door and invited everyone into Treasure Measure.It was not that wide but appeared spacious since the interior was mostly empty—it was not really crowded even with thirty-ish people.Then, locking the door from the inside, Raymond told them, "I can tell from everyone's faces that we are all veterans here, so I'm sure you understand the rules while appraising: no photos or videos, thank you very much."Indeed, there were many rules that governed the hobby, the most important being respecting the seller's requests and privacy.As the collectors listened, they knew that Raymond was selling but did not want the public to know too much about him.They all nodded, and those who had their phones out slid them back into their pockets.With that, Raymond took out the bronze sculpture that he had brought, leaving Trippy a little surprised.He had never seen the bronze sculpture with his own eyes before, only from

"Alright!" Trippy was at once fawning, tagging along behind Raymond like a little child.Around thirty people were waiting in front of Treasure Measure by now. The collectors came in twos or threes, and all ten numbers had since been taken.Before Raymond arrived, he had a brief look at the collectors' faces through the security cameras before walking over, and he was really relieved to see no familiar faces.Having traded Oskian antiques for years abroad, it was only natural that he was acquainted with some of the elite collectors in the country.He also knew that they were especially demanding with the quality of their collection and wanted almost flawless items. As such, the bronze sculpture which had been completely lost wouldn't interest them.Still, he was also a little concerned that amongst the elite collectors he knew, there might be some who were losing money and losing purchasing power in turn. If they happened to take an interest in the bronze sculpture on top of that,

Trippy grinned. "I mean, just look at my stall—ain't no way I'm getting any business here. Why not let me check out this item of yours? And see how interested they are? I'm really interested in learning and upping my game."Then, as if worried that Raymond would refuse, he quickly added, "Don't worry—I promise to stay in a corner and just watch."Still, Raymond could guess right then that someone must have sent Trippy to spy on him.It didn't matter whether it was Mick, Jacob, or Zachary either—they were all in this plot together, and one knowing meant all three knowing.Trippy was a gossiper in nature. If he was allowed to witness the whole process, everyone down Antique Street would definitely know before long.In fact, he could use someone like that right now, and Trippy had come straight to his doorstep.With that in mind, Raymond smiled, "Come join me if you're interested. It's not like there's anything to hide…"Pausing, he then warned Trippy, "But since you're going in my

After watching Mick's video, Jasmine's opinion of the man improved considerably.She was actually well aware that the decline of Vintage Deluxe was mostly due to Mick's incompetence.However, as Jasmine was now managing a billion-dollar company, she couldn't spare any time to ask many questions about Vintage Deluxe's performance. In her opinion, as long as Vintage Deluxe didn't lose too much money or ruin the reputation they had worked so hard to build, she wasn't interested in a regime change.It was the same mindset as Marianne Long, who begged her father to keep that lane full of food stalls in Hong Kong over sentiment.As such, seeing that Mick actually had some skill pleased her considerably.She couldn't resist checking out the comments of the video too.She saw that many were praising the manager of Vintage Deluxe for taking a tough stand against the scammer as well as how Vintage Deluxe's reputation was long-standing and without comparison.She soon noticed Jacob's comme

Soon, more collectors had gathered outside Treasure Measure even before Raymond showed up at Antique Street, with over ten of them gathered outside in no time at all.Since Raymond had only prepared ten slips, the rest left in disappointment seeing that they had no chance.Even so, the ten collectors who had gotten a number were nervous—save for the first man who had arrived.The details on the online sales post insisted that the price was fixed, and that first-come first-serve applies.If he bought the bronze sculpture, the other nine would have come all this way for nothing.However, if the seller decided to make it an auction, they would have a chance too, although their net profit would thin in turn. After all, they could have acquired the bronze sculpture for just 20 million, and that meant a solid 8 million in profit.An auction would at least raise the price to 27 million, and more would make it chicken feed.If they gave up at that point, it was a waste of a trip.If

Trippy naturally wasn't going to tell Mick everything word-for-word, so he said vaguely, "Uh, they were just being stubborn and refused to listen to anything I said. They kept saying that they wouldn't know until they saw the actual item."Mick got out of bed, staring at his phone as he mused to himself.This was getting a little ridiculous, was it not? A fool who was scammed, actually able to scam someone else? But if he really could sell it, wouldn't all their work be for nothing?With that in mind, he promptly called Zachary, who wasn't even up yet.Ever since he had started working for Don Albert, his daily routine was no longer the same as the days when he was a humble stall owner working on Antique Street, but a man of importance who slept late and woke up late.In the evening, he would be spending his time patrolling Don Albert's night entertainment properties as well as holding meetings with subordinates to decide on management policies and the like. That was why he wo

Seeing that Mick had a favor to ask, Trippy was naturally eager to seize the opportunity to get in his good graces."Don't worry, Mr. Crane!" He promptly replied. "Just leave it to me!"Returning to Treasure Measure, he went up to the first man who had come and said, "Hey, brother… Did you come to buy the bronze sculpture from Mr. Cole?"The man asked warily, "You know about the bronze sculpture?""Of course!" Trippy grinned. "I know all too well—it's actually famous here in Aurous Hill."Whipping out his phone, he played the short video that Mick had spent five grand promoting, saying, "Here—check this out!"Curious, the man took the phone and watched the video solemnly.The other latecomer soon hurried over as well and stared fixedly at the screen too.They watched as Bill entered a room with the bronze sculpture with Mick, the latter who checked it out and started commenting on it.The first man exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, it really is that bronze sculpture."The second ma
