Aurora pouted in an aggrieved manner before she said in a low and muffled voice, “I got it, Dad…”Charlie smiled at this time as he asked, “Let the housekeeper take care of the dog first. I’ll play with it after I’m done eating.”Lord Moore then hurriedly asked the housekeeper to take the dog out first.Everyone began to sit down, one after the other.Lord Moore sat on Charlie’s left while Yahiko sat on Charlie’s right.As for Emi and Hiroshi, both of them were originally unworthy to sit at the table to eat together with them. However, Charlie managed to get them to sit down at the table anyway.The relationship between a master and a servant was very clear and distinct in Japanese society. Sometimes, the title as a senior could easily make a junior demonstrate his respect, but it was relatively less rigid in Oskia. Moreover, Charlie was not the kind of person who cared so much about these details. So, he simply asked them to sit down together at the table.Emi and Hiroshi were
As soon as Charlie said this, Lord Moore and Graham had very excited expressions on their faces.They knew that Charlie was actually helping them to build a bridge with the Ito family.The Ito family was now the strongest family in Japan, and they owned assets worth more than trillions of dollars in Oskia. As for the Moore family, they had just entered the 100 billion dollars club, and Graham was still halfway to making it to the threshold of the 100 billion dollars club.Therefore, if they could collaborate with the Ito family, it would indeed be a step up the ladder for both of their families. If the Ito family would truly be willing to collaborate with them, it would certainly bring them more growth and opportunities!Yahiko naturally understood Charlie’s intentions. So, he did not hesitate as he said, “Since Mr. Wade has already said so, the Ito family will naturally go all out to collaborate with Miss Moore and Mr. Quinton!”As he spoke, Yahiko looked at Jasmine before he sai
After he was done speaking, Yahiko looked at Charlie before he said seriously, “Mr. Wade, the Schulz family’s ocean shipping license was recently revoked. So, it is definitely a good opportunity for you to quickly enter this industry at this time. I wonder if you are interested?”Charlie waved his hand before he smiled and said, “I do not know anything about ocean shipping transportation, plus I do not even own a transport ship of my own. So, why would I talk about entering the ocean shipping industry?”Yahiko hurriedly replied, “Mr. Wade, the ship would not actually be a problem at all. In fact, most ocean shipping companies from all over the world would simply rent their freights and oil tankers, just like how most airplanes from most airlines are actually rented. Some companies are good at operations but are not that proficient at managing asset-heavy business modules and fixed asset planning, whereas some companies are good at managing asset-heavy business modules and fixed asset
Charlie currently had more than sufficient funds on hand. Moreover, he also owned Apothecary Pharmaceutical which was constantly making money for him. So, it would not be difficult for him to start an ocean shipping business.Whether it was setting up a company, docking at a pier, or leasing a freighter, Charlie would not have any funding problems at all.However, the most critical issue was that if he were to start such a large new business, he would have to get someone who had sufficient ability and capability to take care of and oversee his business on his behalf.The first person that Charlie thought of was Doris.It was needless to say that Doris was indeed very outstanding and capable, and she was also a very trustworthy person.However, the only problem was that Doris would also have to manage Emgrand Group. If he were to ask her to take the lead for the ocean shipping business at the same time, Charlie was afraid that she would be completely overwhelmed with work.After t
“That’s right!” Cadfan ground his teeth and said, “Aurous Hill is originally within the Wade family’s sphere of influence, and it could even be considered as the Wade family’s territory. The fact that Ito Yahiko has suddenly decided to go to Aurous Hill is already very strange in itself. Besides that, he even chose to stay at the Wade family’s hotel. That is even more dangerous for us.”Sheldon hurriedly asked, “Dad, are you worried that the Ito family will choose to collaborate with the Wade family?”“Yes.” Cadfan replied earnestly, “Our ocean shipping business is currently suspended across the board. Therefore, the entire ocean shipping industry is also in turmoil. On one hand, it is because there is a halt in our ocean shipping business and so, that resulted in a huge gap in the demand for international shipping that cannot be met as well as the continued increase in freight cost. On the other hand, most of the cargo ships that we have rented will soon be released to the ship owne
By the time Charlie was done with the banquet and had left the Moore family villa, Sheldon had already set off for Aurous Hill.In order to ensure that he would be able to get in touch with Yahiko as soon as possible, he specially arranged for his staff to book a hotel room for him in Shangri-La under his subordinate’s identity.He knew very well that Shangri-La was the Wade family’s property, so he could not allow the Wade family to find out that he would be staying at Shangri-La. At the same time, he also could not allow the Wade family to find out that he was heading to Aurous Hill.According to his plan, after his subordinate had booked the room at Shangri-La, checked in, and received the room card, the subordinate would wait for Sheldon nearby Shangri-La so that Sheldon could skip the check-in process and enter the hotel room directly. Although the hotel clearly required guests to show their valid ID in order to make a booking, the real name system could only be implemented t
Charlie pulled the car over and stopped by the roadside. When Jacob saw him, he felt as though he had seen his savior, and his eyes were gleaming with hope.However, Jacob deliberately chose not to speak to Charlie immediately.On the other hand, when Matilda saw Charlie, she smiled slightly as she said, “Charlie is here!”When Charlie saw Matilda, who was wearing a tight-fitting sports outfit at this time, he secretly thought to himself, ‘This Aunt Hall is indeed the idol for most middle-aged and elderly men. How does her figure, appearance, and temperament look like that of a fifty years old woman?!’Most people would surely believe it if anyone were to say that she was just thirty years old.Charlie immediately nodded before he smiled at Matilda and said, “Hello, Aunt Hall.”After he was done speaking, Charlie deliberately asked, “Aunt Hall, I heard my dad say that you were sick. Why did you come out for a run? Furthermore, your complexion looks really good and it does not loo
The trio looked in the direction of the voice, and they saw a muscular middle-aged man who was wearing a pair of sports shorts and a t-shirt as he jogged all the way to them.Charlie could not help but look at the middle-aged man. The other party was about 1.8 meters tall, and he had a very well-proportioned body with muscles all over. He looked like he was only in his early forties.Moreover, the other party was only wearing so little clothes for a run on such a cold day. So, it was obvious that this person had excellent physical fitness.What was even rarer was the fact that this man was extremely handsome. He had very thick short hair, and he looked extremely stylish.As soon as Jacob saw this man, he immediately became very vigilant. After looking the man up and down, Jacob could not help but feel a little inferior.After all, Jacob was just an ordinary fifty-year-old middle-aged man as compared to this man. He did not usually exercise or train his body at all, and he had no s
