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

As he spoke, Yolden said jokingly, “By the way, Mr. Wilson, you look like you should be about fifty years old, right?”“Yes. I am fifty years old.” Jacob replied as he nodded.Yolden smiled before he said, “In that case, you cannot refer to me as a young man anymore. I am a few years older than you. I am fifty-five years old this year.”“What?!” Jacob asked as he was dumbfounded. “You are fifty-five years old this year?!”“Yes.” Yolden smiled as he said, “I just celebrated my 55th birthday in January this year.”The expression on Jacob’s face suddenly became a little ugly.It was not out of anger, but it was mainly due to Jacob’s inferiority complex.Jacob had initially thought that Yolden should be around forty-five years old. However, he really would not have expected that this guy would actually be five years older than him!At this time, Yolden looked at Matilda before he asked her, “By the way, Matilda, since Mr. Wilson has to go first because he is in a rush, what about y

As he thought about the fact that he had never been to the United States before, Jacob could not help but hate Elaine even more in his heart.He sat in the co-driver seat as he cursed, “That b*tch, Elaine, is the one who ruined my whole life! If it weren’t because of her, I would have been a top student who graduated from a university in the United States! Perhaps I would have also been a professor working at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology or even a professor working at Harvard in the United States!”As he spoke, he continued complaining angrily, “What happened in the end? As soon as I graduated from a local university, I got married to Elaine! I cannot get rid of her at all even up to this day!”Charlie could not help but comfort Jacob as he said, “It’s okay, Dad. There are some things that you cannot simply consider most optimistically. Although you are not in a happy marriage now, at the very least, you are in very good health. If you think about it from another point

The other antique traders who were keeping tabs on the situation were left confused by Trippy's message.[Maybe even those out-of-towners know that Raymond is a sucker? So they traveled overnight just to see what happens?][I know Raymond is in trouble, but is it really worth traveling hundreds of miles just to watch?][Maybe they know he's a sucker, so they came to sell him more counterfeits?][Shit, that must be it! Suckers are rare these days, after all!][Damn straight! Just knowing that there's one in Aurous Hill, you'd be eager to come over.]Even Mick Crane who had just woken up and saw the message immediately sent a voice message: "Those conmen are just like flies flocking around shit as soon as they smell it.""Oh, but what they don't know is that Raymond has no more money! I heard he only had a few hundred thousand for the startup, and the bronze sculpture must have cost most of it. I'm afraid those people won't even get their gas money and toll costs back after travel

Trippy rolled his eyes as he texted back: [Hell no. I need to start my business instead of wasting my time. You morons can come get a number yourself if you like. Haha!]Still, Trippy had just sent his text when a trio arrived in a hurry outside Treasure Measure.Seeing that the doors were closed, the leader asked Trippy, "Excuse me, can I ask if this is Treasure Measure? Owned by a man named Mr. Cole?"Trippy was at once surprised. "You mean Raymond Cole?"The leader quickly said, "We don't know his first name, only that his last name is Cole, and his handle name was Treasure Measure's Mr. Cole."Trippy chuckled. "That'd be him. Has to be, since he hand wrote that shop sign."Pausing, he then asked in curiosity, "So, you've come to see him being a sucker?"The leader was naturally curious as to what Trippy was talking about. However, he was also reluctant to reveal why he had come since there was a killer bargain at stake. In fact, every other collector who was coming was k

Raymond also added that the 20 million price tag wouldn't be cut or increased. To put it simply, the bronze sculpture was right there in Aurous Hill and waiting—it was a race.Hence, many reputable collectors contacted expert appraisers throughout the night, some even booking night flights straight to Aurous Hill.The best amongst them was a fanatic collector of bronze items in Eastcliff.Following a brief exchange with Raymond online, he immediately called an expert who was also a close friend. As soon as his call was answered, he asked the other man if he had time to travel to Aurous Hill so that no one else would beat them to it—and they would drive out in the night if at all possible.After all, the earliest flight was at six in the morning, and it'd be eight by the time they made it to Aurous Hill Airport and nine by the time they got to Antique Street in a cab.Therefore, the ideal way to get there was by driving over six hundred miles at top speed, and that meant reaching A

While Jacob was feeling delighted after pulling off his con, Raymond had posted details of the bronze sculpture online.The website he was using was the biggest platform for antique collectors and the antique trade where each user could set a favorite tag in the antique category and era. If a user who preferred canvas art pieces of the Tudor dynasty set that label as their favorite, they would immediately be notified with text or desktop notifications in regards to any item with the same label.As medieval bronze sculptures were rare in the first place, most who were interested had already set that label on their favorites and were immediately notified soon after Raymond posted pictures of the bronze sculpture online.The collectors were naturally eager to check it out as gilded sculptures of the medieval era were really rare, and most collectors would go a lifetime without picking one up for their collection.On top of that, the seller had even listed a major flaw and was only ask

"Nope," Jacob chuckled. "We were both working separately and just happened to get back in at the same time."Then, he immediately became smug and excited, "Guess what, dear? I made 200 thousand out of the deal! In net profits!""For real?!" Elaine gaped. "200 thousand in just one night?! That's amazing! How did you do that?"Claire was surprised to hear that too, and she came over to ask, "What deal was it, Dad?"Jacob grinned, "Oh, it's nothing to brag about. It's just that I managed to pick up a nice antique item thanks to my wisdom and then sold it for 200 thousand."Pausing, he then sighed in dismay, "However, the buyer wasn't too rich—I would have squeezed him for 400 thousand, but he couldn't afford more, so I had to settle for less."Elaine quickly exclaimed, "Shit, we're talking about a loss of 200 thousand! People would work a year and still never earn that much…"She trailed off for a moment before asking, "By the way, dear—are we still flying out first thing tomorrow?

Jacob laughed. "Put that issue behind us? Sure, but we're not becoming friends. Hell, I can't even hold a grudge now that you're shit out of luck."Then, his tone changed sharply and suddenly became icy, "But you see, Aurous Hill is not a place you can stay just because you want to. No… After this, you're not going to be able to make a living in the antique trade.""If I were you, I'd be running a thousand miles away, far away from Aurous Hill where no one would know my face to start over. That way, you just might be able to make a living."Raymond simply kept smiling, "You need not be concerned about how I'm going to survive here, Mr. Wilson. I'd be very grateful if you'd cease any form of harassment once you leave my premises."Jacob pursed his lips, staring at Raymond in disappointment. "I'm plenty magnanimous, so I won't stoop to such pettiness. Just do whatever you like!"Clicking his tongue, he huffed, "Tut, tut… And here I'd thought you're tough, but you're just yet another

Raymond chuckled at the title, humble as ever, "The Duke of Wastage? Now, that's quite the royal title, and I don't think I deserve such an honor…"Trailing off, he then made an especially curious look, "By the way, how'd you know they were calling me that?"Seeing that he was still so ignorant, Jacob scoffed. "You bought a Renaissance-era bronze sculpture earlier, didn't you?"Raymond nodded. "I did. But technically, it's medieval and not Renaissance, along with a Renaissance-era base."Jacob clutched his stomach as he laughed, "Oh, please! Medieval? Hahaha… You're killing me, Mr. Cole!"Raymond kept a serious look on his face. "It's really medieval. Why don't you take a look?""No way," Jacob snorted, pursing his lips. "Anyway, word has already spread that someone was selling a counterfeit bronze sculpture to defraud Antique Street for some serious dough. He went first to Vintage Deluxe, but their manager, Mr. Crane, saw through it and didn't buy it… and then he came to you, an

That was why most of the collectors only knew that such an item existed but they did not know in whose possession it was.After registering a new account and paying the ten thousand registration fee, Raymond got in.It was very safe as it was anonymous, and he posted a photo of the bronze sculpture and an announcement with an asking price of twenty million.In his opinion, it wasn't that expensive—if it was still gilded, it would be worth around a hundred million. Without it, it was plenty reasonable to cut the price down to just thirty million.And Raymond was cutting another ten million off that, so twenty million was plenty reasonable.Moreover, medieval bronze sculptures were exceedingly rare, and less than one specimen showed up annually at times. Collectors who desired it would therefore be willing to break the bank for it, and that was why Raymond was sure that someone would put in an order once he posted it.As he wrote the summary of the item, someone knocked on his door

Jacob frowned in disdain. "Why would I be worried? He's no longer the manager of Vintage Deluxe, and he just lost a shit ton of money for messing up his appraisal. I am also the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, so why would I be worried about some loser who will soon be kicked out of Antique Street?"Straightening his collar, he snorted coldly, "I am now going to see Raymond Cole and humiliate him face-to-face! He thinks he's impressive, doesn't he? Let's see how he will keep up that facade!"Zachary chuckled, "Yes, exactly! People like him need to be given a slap in the face! As hard as you can! Don't worry—I'll be right behind you. If he gets physical, I'll rush in to help. If he doesn't dare to start a fight, you just insult him as much as possible!""Good plan!" Jacob nodded since he was concerned that Raymond might get physical when pushed too far.And with his body, there was no way he could beat anyone…Spreading his arms, he exclaimed, "Come! I'l
