Yashita spoke up and asked, “Dad, do you have any general plans now?”Holden said, “I thought about it a little. It would be better for us to look for a main family that we can collaborate with within Eastcliff. There are many other wealthy and big families in Eastcliff. Aside from the Schulz family, there is also the Wade family and the Golding family. If that cannot work out for us, we can also choose to collaborate with the Dunn family. After all, the enemy of our enemy is our friend. I believe that the Dunn family would also have the same intentions. Helen Dunn’s life and death are still unknown, and I do not believe that the Dunn family will keep their grievances to themselves.”Yashita nodded. After forcing herself to think about it for a moment, she spoke up, “Dad, all three of these families are very strong. It would be great if we could collaborate with them. However, I would not recommend the collaboration with the Dunn family.”Holden hurriedly asked, “Why?”Yashita said
When he heard that it was a phone call from the Wade family, it was not only Yashita who was in a state of disbelief, but even Holden, who was aside, was shocked.While Yashita was still shocked and astonished, Isaac spoke up and asked, “Madam Harker, I wonder if it would be convenient for us to speak now?”Yashita quickly came to her senses as she hurriedly replied, “It’s convenient. Please speak up.”Isaac smiled as he said, “This is the case. Our young master would like to invite Madam Harker to meet up and have a chat. I wonder if you would have the time to do so, Madam Harker?”“Meet up and have a chat?” Yashita asked, baffled, “I wonder what your young master would like to talk to me about?”Isaac replied, “Of course, it is to talk to you in regards to a collaboration. Our young master hopes that he would be able to discuss with you to see if there would be an opportunity for the development of an in-depth collaboration between the Wade family and the Harker family.”Yashit
However, if she could head to Aurous Hill to talk about the collaboration with Young Master Wade tonight, regardless of how their discussion related to the collaboration would end, she would certainly be able to depart for Johnstul Peninsula from Aurous Hill tomorrow morning.Aurous Hill was very close to Johnstul Peninsula, and the journey would take her only a little more than an hour by high-speed rail.This would not affect her original plan at all, and instead of slowing her down, it would be even faster for her.So, Yashita agreed without any hesitation as she said politely, “I do not have any problems with that, but I’ll have to trouble you to arrange all the itineraries here, then.”Isaac smiled and said, “These are all trivial matters. Madam Harker, please give me your detailed address. I’ll arrange for a helicopter to go there first.”“Okay!”After Yashita had given Isaac the specific address of the Harker family mansion, the both of them said goodbye to each other befo
While Isaac was mobilizing his resources to pick Yashita up from Moncolne in the northeast to bring her over to Aurous Hill, his subordinates had escorted Sheldon up onto the plane to fly to Syria.At the same time, Hamed, who was far away in Syria, had also begun mobilizing his own soldiers as he prepared to act according to Charlie’s suggestion and policy to heighten his fortifications, store up on his rations and supplies, and delay enthronization.When his friend, who was in the construction industry in Iraq, heard that Hamed would be able to give him a 50% premium for the project and would also be willing to pay him five million US dollars in advance, he did not hesitate to stop his project in Iraq, that was always late in payment. After that, he brought a bunch of construction workers who were willing to risk their own lives to make more money with him as they headed to Syria at top speed.Cadfan did not know that his son had already started his journey to the west.He only k
Chanel’s dress had the style of a British royal princess. The lower body was a knee-length skirt, while the upper body was in the style of a long-sleeved small suit, and it had the luxurious style of a young lady of note.The reason why Charlie chose this kind of clothing was mainly because the weather was still a little cold now. So, this kind of dress, that would be suitable for spring and autumn, would be just right.Although the skirt for this kind of dress was very long, if someone were to wear it with their bare legs, it would certainly be a little cold. So, Charlie bought a pair of black pantyhose for her.After choosing the size according to Autumn’s height in his memory, he was about to pay the bill and leave. At this time, he suddenly remembered that the pair of sneakers that Autumn had been wearing yesterday was too dirty. So, he bought her another pair of size 37 white fashion leather shoes.Charlie did not know whether the size would be right for her or not, but it did
Charlie did not know what was wrong with the lingerie that he had bought. This was because he had simply taken a single glance from the front, and since he was thinking of getting things done as fast as possible, he had simply pointed at it in passing.However, if he were to go around and take a look at the back, he would have realized that the underwear for the lower body was actually a T-shaped thong, formed out of two strings.After he was done buying the clothes, Charlie returned to the hotel wing. When he saw that there was still no movement at all from Autumn’s room even though it was already twelve noon, Charlie went directly to her room door and pressed on the doorbell.The doorbell rang for several minutes before Autumn woke up groggily.As she awoke, she stretched her waist beautifully, and her entire body felt indescribably comfortable all over.After that, she wrapped a bathrobe around herself, and she was still feeling sleepy and not fully awake as she came to the doo
For women, a pantyhose was an absolutely indispensable intimate apparel. It not only could be used to set off the women’s figure and temperament, but it could also be used to keep warm.Years ago, women would rarely be seen wearing dresses in winter because the premise of wearing a dress was to ensure and maintain the temperature of the legs. However, it would be really strange to wear a dress on the upper body and a pair of trousers on the lower body. It would be even more ridiculous to wear a dress on the upper body paired off with a pair of long johns on the lower body. It was not only until the popularization of leggings and pantyhose that this problem was eventually solved.However, although pantyhose had already become relatively common, Autumn had never received a pair of pantyhose from any man before.Therefore, she more or less had a subtle and mysterious feeling about this.Nevertheless, Autumn knew very well that this was Charlie’s way of showing his care and concern. Ot
As soon as the package was opened, there were two individually wrapped plastic bags lying inside.When Autumn saw the two pure black lingerie with lace on the edge, her shy and embarrassed face became hot.Although she had already guessed that it would be lingerie, she did not expect that it would be black lingerie with lace.In truth, Autumn had never worn such fancy and over-the-top lingerie. She had always been very pragmatic, and she liked to wear lingerie made out of comfortable materials and pure colors. After all, in her opinion, comfort was the most important thing.However, since Charlie had already bought it, she had no other choice either. So, she could only summon up her courage to open up the package as she thought to herself, ‘No matter what it is, I’ll just wear it to go out first. All of my personal belongings are in the United States, and some of my luggage is in Syria. I did not bring anything back to Oskia with me this time. So, I can only purchase more items in
Later, after Charlie told Jeremiah over the phone about the joint venture with the Ackers to establish Curtis Autos, the old man was awash with tears, especially after Charlie told him that it was Keith who suggested it. After all, Curtis was his favorite son whose death he could never really get over. Moreover, he once believed that only his family mourned Curtis while the Ackers never did, and he held a grudge over his son's passing. As such, he was surprised that Keith held such great respect toward his late son and didn't hesitate to say yes when Charlie invited him to Aurous Hill to sign an agreement with the Ackers.Still, Charlie wasn't in a hurry to arrange for a specific time, and he was going to let the Ackers sort out the human resources of Godot Autos over a few days. It still wouldn't be too late by then.Moreover, he was keen to allow the buzz to have time to grow so that the automotive industry would be astounded by the joint project between the Ackers and the Wade
Christian was the first to exclaim in approval, "Yes! Curtis Autos sounds wonderful! It has my vote!""Seconded!" Kaiden nodded, pumping the air with his right fist. "I've looked up to Curtis the most, and I absolutely agree with naming the company after him!"Jaxson was nodding too. "Me too!""Yes!" Lulu chirped.Yolden couldn't help agreeing as well. "Curtis Autos is definitely a good name!"Merlin raised his hand gingerly as well. "Quit it with your flattery already," Keith chuckled, and he turned toward Charlie solemnly. "In the end, Curtis is Charlie's father, and the final decision goes to him!"Charlie's eyes were welling up with tears—his parents had been gone for almost three decades, yet he had never thought of dedicating anything to their memory.As such, Keith's suggestion to use Curtis's name for the car company left him thrilled. After all, wouldn't his father's soul be honored if Curtis Autos rocked the country, maybe even the world?With that in mind, he nodd
Charlie also had to agree that this was an opportunity to formally reconcile the Wades and the Ackers.While he couldn't reveal himself just yet, the Wades and the Ackers had been in-laws for years. Even if they had had a dispute for the longest time, restoring good relations made sense now that the Ackers had come to Oskia, and it wouldn't arouse any suspicion.That was why Charlie agreed to it without hesitation, even making a mental note to invite his paternal grandfather, Jeremiah, to Aurous Hill.The old geezers could meet up and clear the air while deciding on the partnership.Yolden was prepared to resign as a professor as well so that he could help the Ackers and Charlie fully develop their automotive company.With a general direction planned, he asked everyone, "Since we're creating a new brand, has anyone come up with a name?"No one was feeling inspired at that moment, but that was when Lulu, who had been silent throughout, said, "Since Charlie and our family are worki
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
