Just as Charlie and Rosalie were chatting, he suddenly received a phone call from Stephen.This caused Charlie to feel a little curious.Generally speaking, Stephen did not contact him too often, but whenever Stephen contacted him, it was usually because there was an important matter.So, Charlie hurriedly answered the phone as he spoke up and asked, “Mr. Thompson, are you looking for me because there is something important?”Stephen smiled slightly and said, “Young Master, I’m not looking for you because of something important, but the reason why I’m looking for you is because I need your decision on a certain matter.”Charlie then asked, “What’s the matter?”Stephen said, “It is like this. The eldest young lady of the Schulz family, Sophie Schulz, is going to do a live broadcast of her press conference tonight on the internet. She has also contacted the short video platform that you asked the Wade family to buy, hoping that we will also be able to participate in the online broa
After hanging up the phone, Rosalie, who was beside Charlie, hurriedly asked, “Mr. Wade, Sophie is going to hold a press conference?”“Yes.” Charlie laughed and said, “She is not only going to be holding a press conference, but she is also going to engage in a live broadcast on the internet. At that time, there will be many platforms hosting the live broadcast at the same time, and I estimate that there will be at least tens of millions of people who will be watching the press conference online.”Rosalie asked incomprehensibly, “Then, why do you think that Sophie will not be revolting against Cadfan Schulz? This would be the perfect opportunity to ruin Cadfan Schulz’s reputation!”Charlie smiled slightly. “It seems as though your sister is a little smarter as compared to you.”Rosalie stuck out her tongue out of embarrassment as she pouted coquettishly and said, “How can I possibly be compared to Sophie? Sophie has been receiving elite education ever since she was young. Moreover,
Charlie’s hatred for the Schulz family was only directed toward those who were related to the Anti-Wade Alliance back then.Now, Charlie had already personally sent Sheldon, who was the apparent leader of the Anti-Wade Alliance, off to Syria, and the second apparent person, Steven, was also locked up in Albert’s dog farm.So, at this time, the only enemy that Charlie had in the Schulz family was Cadfan Schulz.According to the agreement between Charlie and Sophie, as soon as Sophie had ascended to the position as the head of the Schulz family, she would be able to take the initiative to hand Cadfan Schulz over to Charlie in exchange for her father’s safe return to Oskia.If Sophie could get this done at that time, she would be able to get Sheldon back. However, she would have to ensure that Sheldon would stay away from all the real power of the Schulz family, and he would be forced to retire.That way, the Wade family and even Charlie would be able to put aside all of the old hatr
Charlie was completely speechless. After a very long time, he finally spoke up and asked, “You… what are you trying to do? You’re only in your early twenties this year, and you’ll have a lot of good times ahead of you! Moreover, with your current cultivation base, even if you do not have any further progress in your cultivation base from now on, you’ll be able to easily live past a hundred years old. That is to say that you’ve only finished living one-fifth, or perhaps only one-sixth of your life now!”“I don’t care.” Rosalie said firmly, “Mr. Wade, if I had not met you, my life would have been one hundred percent over. I would not be the Rosalie Schulz, who is sitting here completely unharmed! So, no matter how much time I have left to live, I owe my life to you, Mr. Wade. Therefore, I’m willing to use all of the time that I have entirely on you, Mr. Wade!”When Charlie heard Rosalie’s words, he felt very touched and helpless at the same time deep in his heart.He originally wanted
Rosalie did not have any opinion in regards to Charlie’s arrangement at all.She had been most afraid that Charlie would also send her off to Isaac, Albert, or even her elder sister.Since Charlie was willing to continue keeping her at Shangri-La, Rosalie would certainly be willing to accept it gladly. Anyway, as long as Charlie was not going to send her off to another place, allowing her to see him often, Rosalie was already satisfied.Charlie said to Rosalie, “By the way, Rosalie, before this, I did not allow you to have any contact with the public, and I did not even allow you to have any access to any news or public information channels. On one hand, it was because I was still a little wary of you, and on the other hand, it was because your identity and situation were very special. If any news about you leaked out to the public, it would be very easy for you to get into trouble.”As he spoke, Charlie paused for a moment before he said, “But now, it seems as though you’re no l
Rosalie was extremely excited, and she said respectfully, “Thank you, Mr. Wade!”Charlie waved his hand. “You don’t need to thank me over such a small matter.”As he spoke, Charlie looked at the time and said, “Alright, then. I’ll not continue talking with you anymore now. I’ll go and talk to Mr. Cameron, Albert, and the others first so that they can also be prepared.”After that, Charlie stood up and said, “I’m leaving.”“Mr. Wade…” Rosalie hurriedly called out to him before she asked in a somewhat ashamed manner, “Can you wait for a moment? I would like to register for a new WhatsApp account and add you as a friend first!”Charlie nodded and agreed, “Okay.”Rosalie hurriedly turned on the cell phone before she downloaded the WhatsApp application in the app store. After that, she quickly registered for an account.She gave her new WhatsApp account a name before she blushed and said to Charlie, “Mr. Wade, let me scan your QR code…”Charlie casually opened his own QR code before
When Albert heard that Charlie was looking for him because of an important matter, he immediately put down all of his work at hand before heading to Shangri-La as quickly as he could.As soon as Albert entered Isaac’s office, he saw Charlie waiting in Isaac’s office. So, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked respectfully. “Master Wade, why are you looking for me?”Charlie waved at him as he smiled and said, “Come, Albert. Sit down and talk.”After he was done speaking, Charlie also greeted Isaac, “Mr. Cameron, you should sit down too.”Both Isaac and Albert sat down next to each other directly across Charlie.Immediately afterward, Charlie then spoke up, “I’ve already established a collaboration with the Harker family. Starting from today, the Harker family will send ten of their top masters to Aurous Hill, and they will be completely at my disposal at any time.”Isaac said joyfully, “Young Master, that is a good thing! With this group of top masters from the Harker family, it c
Immediately afterward, Charlie sighed and said, “I also fought with some Japanese ninjas when I went to Japan before this.”“There are some Japanese ninjas who are very similar to the warriors from Oskia. They are still stuck in the era of physical combat as well as cold weapons attacks. However, there was also a group of Japanese ninjas who were able to keep up with the times and had already incorporated a lot of modern technology.”“There was one point that left a very deep impression on me, and that was that they were paragliding using ultra-black paint and material coupled with a propulsion fan running on silent lithium batteries. They flew very fast in the sky at night, not only were their movements extremely fast, but any ordinary person on the ground would not have been able to detect them at all. This is an organic combination of traditional ninjas with modern technology. I feel that it is worth it to learn from this way of thinking.”Isaac nodded immediately as he said exci
"That would be Ashley Layna Acker," Matilda replied without hesitation. "She was our age, as well as a major investor in Silicon Valley, while we were only starting to get our first clients. It's no exaggeration to say that she's the shining example in many case studies when it comes to business."Pausing, she then continued, "And she used to be your classmate, right? I remember you mentioning that in our conversations before.""Yes," Yolden sighed emotionally. "She was a classmate and the star of our generation."Matilda nodded but soon shook her head, "Wait, weren't we talking about Charlie's car company? What does that have to do with Ashley Acker?" "Here's where I let you in on a secret," Yolden said. "But first, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone except Paul."Matilda nodded without hesitation. "Don't worry—if it's a secret, I won't tell Paul either."Yolden scratched his head. "Actually, Paul should know. We are going to marry soon, and he's my stepson, lega
In fact, the legal department of major enterprises covered many responsibilities, the chief of which concerned intellectual property, which was why veterans were needed to lead.Additionally, Charlie trusted Matilda's accomplishments in the legal field, especially since she had worked in the United States for years.With Curtis Autos' intended expansion worldwide, that meant the legal department should also know the laws of countries abroad, ready to file or respond to lawsuits at any time. After all, competitors may use the law to impede their growth, along with the government applying unfair policies to impede their development and impact on local businesses.Moreover, Charlie considered Paul young and therefore lacking in experience, not to mention that it was not likely he would abandon his family's law firm. As such, the ideal solution was to poach Matilda for now.As for Matilda, she was still in the dark and had no idea what she was in for, asking Charlie in confusion, "Lega
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
