“Google, Apple, Yahoo, Cisco, Oracle, Tesla, and many other top high-tech companies emerged and established themselves, step by step, from Silicon Valley.”“Their market value has already increased tens of thousands of times, and their growth and incremental space are extremely huge!”“If any stockholder bought Apple’s shares twenty years ago, he would have made a profit of more than three hundred or four hundred times.”“Did you know that your mother invested in Apple with the venture capital fund that she had set up even before you were born?!”“At that time, Steve Jobs treated her as the most distinguished guest, and when Apple’s market value was only worth a few billion dollars back then, she paid up hundreds of millions of dollars in exchange for 10% of Apple’s shares!”“Apple’s market value at the moment is currently worth more than two trillion US dollars, and that is equivalent to more than fifteen trillion Oskia dollars!”“After many rounds of dilution and reduction, the

At this time, Yolden sighed as he said emotionally, “It is simply impossible for me to be able to finish talking about all of your mother’s successful investment and cases back then. If you have the opportunity to head to Silicon Valley one day, and if you look for any of the bosses of any top global group and tell him that your mother’s name is Ashley Layna Acker, they will certainly use their highest standard of etiquette to receive you and treat you as their most distinguished guest…”Charlie sighed as he said, “If I had not met you, I would have never have known all these things about my mother…”Yolden looked at Charlie before he smiled slightly and said, “Your mother’s vision and long-term strategy and planning are far beyond any of our reach.”“Truthfully, back then, many of us did not even understand your mother’s investment strategies or operations. This was because many of the companies that she invested in did not seem like it would have any developmental prospects to us.

Yolden assumed that Charlie only had Emgrand Group and the ten billion dollars worth of cash in his hands. So, Charlie would only have a little over one hundred billion dollars if he were to add these two things together. The possibility of Charlie being able to compete against the Wade family or the Schulz family would basically be close to zero.Charlie smiled slightly at this time as he said, “Professor Hart, to tell you the truth, I still have more than tens of billions of dollars of funds in my hands. Moreover, I also own a pharmaceutical company that is running at a good momentum and is currently earning me an annual profit of ten billion dollars. In fact, the company’s profit might even exceed one hundred billion dollars next year. Therefore, I will certainly have the funds to continue any of my other projects.”Yolden asked in surprise, “You own a pharmaceutical company that is making an annual profit of more than ten billion dollars?! What is the name of your pharmaceutica

“Your daughter?!”Charlie was a little surprised.At this time, Yolden continued, “My daughter is about the same age as you are. She just graduated from Stanford University with a doctorate last year, and she has been working for Goldman Sachs Capital Partners on Wall Street. She just resigned some time ago. I asked her to return to Oskia to further develop her career, but my daughter has some conflicts with me, and she is very rebellious. She refuses to listen to anything I say at all.”Charlie could not help but ask, “Professor Hart, in that case, would your daughter agree to it if I were to ask her to work together with me, then?”Yolden hurriedly replied, “I have been trying to persuade her all this while. The current economic and development momentum in Oskia is so good now, and it is actually much stronger compared to that of Europe and the United States. In terms of development potential, it would certainly be much better for her to develop her career in Oskia rather than ab

When Charlie saw the pained expression on his face, Charlie started comforting him as he said, “Professor Hart, to be honest, you don’t have to be too angry and frustrated. It is actually very normal for young people to be rebellious. Moreover, as far as I know, many geniuses in their own field will naturally be a little more rebellious. Perhaps the more rebellious a child is, the more powerful and independent their thinking would be. That way, they would be able to do many earth-shattering and amazing things, then!”Yolden held onto his chest as he said angrily, “You simply do not know how rebellious that girl is! I could simply endure it and put up with it if she was just going to Syria. After all, even though that place is very chaotic and messy, it is mostly just civil strife. They are relatively friendly toward Oskians. But this girl… she… she…”After repeating the word ‘she’ a couple of times, Yolden was suddenly at a loss for words again.His face was flushed red, he became a

Charlie knew that he did not lack money, but he was lacking in talents now.A business would not be successful just because of a person’s words and imagination.This was especially so when it came to managing a company. He would have to have a good talent who would be capable enough to make the company stronger and better.Charlie only had two businesses in his hands now.The first one was Emgrand Group, and the other was Apothecary Pharmaceutical.He had Doris to manage and be in charge of Emgrand Group, and he had Liam to help him manage Apothecary Pharmaceutical.However, Charlie would be stuck when it came to talents if he were to add on any other new businesses in addition to these two business sectors.Although Albert was very loyal and reliable, no matter what it was, he was not an educated person. He could follow and execute orders, but he lacked the ability to use his head to make real decisions to do big things.As for the others, whether it was Graham, Zeke, Travis,

Yolden laughed out loud as he said, “Hahaha! I don’t think that you will need to go through so much trouble. I believe in your abilities. If you praise her continuously, I believe that she will certainly be very tempted.”With that being said, Yolden was a little worried as he said, “Actually, my main concern is that she has not had enough fun yet. In that case, if she truly intends to continue staying in Syria, which is in great turmoil and chaos because of the ongoing war for another year or so, no one would be able to persuade her or change her mind anymore! Sigh! You do not know that girl at all. She is so stubborn, and no one can ever dissuade her as long as she has set her mind to do something!”Charlie nodded before he said seriously, “I will try my best to persuade her to come back soon.”“Okay.” Yolden hurriedly said, “Why don’t you add her as a friend on WhatsApp now so that you can start talking to her first?”Charlie smiled as he replied, “Uncle Hart, don’t forget that

Charlie did not expect that Autumn would turn him down as soon as he contacted her. However, he naturally would not give up so easily. So, he immediately replied: “I thought that you were back in the United States, Miss Hart. I did not expect that you would actually be in Syria instead. I wonder, why did you go all the way to Syria?”Autumn replied: “I came here with some of my university classmates to film a documentary about the war. We are preparing to use this documentary as an opportunity to launch an anti-war charity fund.”Charlie hurriedly replied: “Miss Hart, if you are interested to set up an anti-war charity fund, I can personally contribute and donate a sum of money to you too. If you would be willing to collaborate with me for the long-term, I am also prepared to transfer thirty million US dollars to your charity fund in a one-off transaction.”As he spoke, Charlie continued: “To be honest, you are a talent who majored in finance. So, why would you go all the way to Syr

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
