For Jaime, at this time, being able to keep his lowly life was more important than anything else.This was because he knew very well in his heart that Charlie had enough strength and reason to kill him.Moreover, with Charlie’s strength, even if Charlie were to truly kill Jaime, the Schulz family probably would not and could not avenge him.After all, Jaime’s grandfather had never even seen Charlie’s face before. Cadfan was so afraid of him that he could not even sleep at night!In order to make peace with Charlie, Jaime’s grandfather was even willing to give the Schulz family’s entire ocean shipping group to his younger sister.Jaime could already tell that his grandfather was extremely afraid of Charlie based on this fact alone.So, as long as he was able to survive, Jaime felt that it would not matter even if he were to get thrown to Syria. At the very least, he would be able to be with his father instead of being all by himself when he got to Syria.When Charlie heard the
“Okay! I’ll go and atone for my sins!”When Jaime heard this, even though he did not know exactly how Charlie was asking him to atone for his sins, he still agreed to it without any hesitation at all as he blurted out, “I’m willing to go and atone for my sins! I’m willing to atone for my sins, my father’s sins, and the entire Schulz family’s sins! I’ll go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha in order to accumulate more good deeds for the Schulz family!”Charlie laughed and said, “The Schulz family’s sins are so heavy. So, how can your sins possibly be atoned simply by burning incense and worshipping Buddha?”Jaime was confused, and he asked, “Benefactor, what do you mean, then?”Charlie spoke indifferently, “Since your sins are so serious, it is only natural for you to be more pious, and for you to put yourself through the mill. I think that starting from tomorrow, you will have to use the method of taking three steps and one grovel to go on a pilgrimage to the Jordan T
In truth, Charlie had already long known that Jaime had been pursuing Quinn.However, he did not want to interfere with Jaime because of the principle of ‘freedom to love’. He did not even have this thought even though Isaac had suggested for him to intervene before this.Charlie felt that everyone had the right to like others and be liked by others in return. As long as a person liked another person in a fair and square manner, no one had the right to interfere.However, Jaime’s mistake was that he did not figure this out clearly himself.Before he had even pursued Quinn properly, he had already regarded Quinn as his personal belonging. When Jaime found out that Charlie had driven Quinn to the venue, his first thought was to do everything that he possibly could in order to investigate and find out Charlie’s identity. He had targeted Charlie, even investigating Charlie’s wife’s car license plate, which was a complete violation of the basic principle of ‘freedom to love’. Theref
After exiting the door, his assistant and a group of bodyguards hurriedly got up and came out as soon as Jaime arrived at the door of the conference room.His assistant walked up and asked in a low voice. “Have you already found out the identity and information of the chairman of Emgrand Group?”Jaime replied indifferently, “The matter this time is all a misunderstanding. The person that I’m looking for is not in Emgrand Group. Let’s go. You guys can send me home.”Jaime’s assistant was a little confused, but he was not quite sure what Jaime had seen in the VIP passage at the venue either. Perhaps, Jaime might have indeed been mistaken. So, Jaime’s assistant did not think too much about it and said, “Okay then, Young Master. In that case, we will send you back now.”Jaime did not speak on the way home. Instead, he simply sat by himself with his eyes closed.When the convoy sent him back to the Dunn family’s old mansion, before Jaime got out of the car, he spoke up and said to his
Cadfan nearly exploded in anger at this moment.‘What’s going on?!’‘I’ve just paid such a big price in order to barely pacify the troublesome Sophie, but who would have thought that I would only have a quiet and peaceful life for no more than two days before Jaime, who had big eyes and thick eyebrows, would actually betray me as well.’Right now, he could not understand what exactly was wrong with his godd*mned grandson.In the past, when he had almost taken Jaime’s mother’s and younger sister’s lives, Jaime had never turned his back on him like what he was doing now. Instead, Jaime had simply suffered in silence and suppressed his anger as he tried to flatter and please Cadfan.Now that the matter was already f*cking in the past, this kid seemed to have suddenly come back to his senses, and he was starting to go against Cadfan.When Cadfan thought of how this brat was actually going to grovel all the way to Jordan Temple in order to make an atonement for their sins, Cadfan was
Jaime had a cold expression on his face when he saw Cadfan, who was unconscious over the other end of the video call, and he said coldly, “Him? He brought this upon himself!”Arrington was stupefied. ‘What the hell is going on here? Is this still the same Jaime Schulz who is always humbling himself to try and flatter and please Lord Schulz? How dare he say such words to Lord Schulz?!’Arrington, who was eager to defend Lord Schulz, was instantly furious as he blurted out and yelled, “Jaime Schulz! What is your status?! Who are you to say such things about Lord Schulz?! Are you thinking of rebelling?!”Jaime said disdainfully, “Pfft! Did you think that I would rebel against that old b*stard?! I, Jaime Schulz, am most ashamed of people like him in my whole life!”Jaime turned off the video call directly after he had said that. In an instant, the entire Schulz family’s mansion exploded into a frenzy.Meanwhile, in Aurous Hill, the people in the Dunn family’s old mansion were also c
After Jaime had said the words ‘I’ve already made up my mind’, he immediately turned around and went back to his room.After returning to his room, he uploaded the video that he had already recorded in advance to the short video platform.After that, Jaime called his subordinates and made the arrangements for those who would be following him on his journey to the Jordan Temple early in the morning tomorrow. His subordinates were extremely shocked at his decision, and they really did not want to follow him on this trip.However, although Jaime did not have a lot of money, it would not be a problem for him to spend more than tens of millions of dollars to buy and win over this group of his subordinates.So, this group of people began to prepare for his long journey early in the morning tomorrow under the temptation of money.Sophie and Helen, who were outside, were both a little lost and overwhelmed. Helen asked Sophie, “Sophie, what do you think is the matter with your elder br
As he thought about the future collaboration between both sides in the future, Charlie did not hide the truth from Sophie. He walked out of the house and went into the courtyard as he replied with a voice message: “That’s right. Your elder brother came to Emgrand Group today. He made it seem as though he wanted to meet with Doris on the surface, but in fact, he actually wanted to pry and look into my identity.”Sophie sent another voice message to follow up: “Then, is the reason why he is suddenly in this state also because of you?”Charlie admitted it frankly: “That’s right. He asked people to investigate and look into my wife’s car license plate. This behavior makes me feel very dissatisfied. That is not all, but he even wanted to find out about my true identity. Since he personally wanted to make things difficult for himself, I could only fulfill his request, then.”Sophie hurriedly pleaded as she said: “Benefactor, my elder brother has very little social experience, and sometime
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
Charlie smiled. "Who, me? You'd laugh at me, but it was only after Steven found me that I learned to drive. I never bought my own car either and only had the two supercars gifted to me, and I only drove those a handful of times at best. Even now, I'm driving the BMW 5-series I bought for my father-in-law."Then, he remembered Marianne Long and said, "I did drive a friend's Tesla back to Hong Kong, but it was only for a short time, and I didn't manage to look into their so-called assisted driving system."Yolden thought about it and smiled, "But y'know… how would I describe the car, specifically? Have you heard of Mario Balotelli, the soccer player?"Every man present aside from Keith nodded—Mario had been a philosopher on the soccer field, and even those who didn't watch soccer were familiar with his name.Nodding, Yolden continued, "The way I see it, Mario has been a player with top-class hardware but third-rate software. Give him Messi or Ronaldinho's intelligence, and he'd be a
Kaeden then asked, "Well, professor, how do you suppose we overtake the competition at turning points? Or indeed, what qualifies as succeeding in that respect?"Yolden thought about it, formulating his words before explaining, "My personal understanding of the matter isn't simply to aim for turning points. Instead, it's things like staying on the inner lane of the race track and reaching the finish line faster by going where no other race car had gone before—or indeed where people never thought to go before."That's the case for new energy cars. Our fossil fuel energies have constantly lost to other countries and would always come up short. But with new energy cars, we can change the rules altogether."We can't catch up to their engine tech? Then we won't—there's no way they are masters in electric-powered engines, are they? They've spent decades on internal combustion engines and haven't the first clue about electric-powered engines."So, while everyone hasn't turned all their foc
The Ackers were really interested in Yolden's perspective.For their family, investing in the new energy automotive industry wasn't meant to make money—they simply intended to add to Oskia's strength as a manufacturer.But with Yolden's input, they had new things to look forward to.If they really could propel their business to giants like Tesla, opportunities and profits would go without saying—there was also no question that it supported and improved Oskia's local car industry and manufacturing sector.Giants in the manufacturing sector were different from online giants, as the latter often enforced a stranglehold monopoly. Before they had the monopoly, they would be offering perks and subsidies to the market, and when they gained sufficient customers and consumer faith, they would start choking the market for profits.To put it in perspective, a five-mile Uber ride would cost five bucks before, and the driver would be paid ten for it. But after Uber got the monopoly, the rider
