As he spoke of this, Kenneth was filled with emotion as he said, “Since the brothers already missed out on one another for so many decades, perhaps they would have the opportunity to meet in heaven, then.”Christopher nodded before he said humbly, “Chairman Wilson, why don’t you come in and take a seat.”Kenneth nodded before he laughed and said, “Alright, then. I am sorry to bother you!”“No, no, you are not a bother at all!”Christopher hurriedly led Kenneth through the courtyard into the living room. Then, he hurriedly introduced Lady Wilson to him. “Mom! This is the chairman of the Modestway Group, Kenneth Wilson!”Lady Wilson was stunned.Modestway Group?!That was an extremely famous public-listed group!Why was the chairman of Modestway Group here in their home?Even though she was very puzzled, she still got up to greet him, filled with excitement. “Oh! Welcome to our house, Chairman Wilson. Please forgive an old lady like me for not giving you an appropriate welcome!”
As she thought about this, Lady Wilson could not help but feel very excited as she said to Kenneth, “Oh, Chairman Wilson, your father was truly a good man who was very grateful to his savior! He actually remembered everything that happened even after all these years.”Kenneth nodded and sighed before he said, “After all, he was his benefactor and savior. My father has not forgotten everything that he had done for him even after so many years.”Then, Kenneth took out a high-end jewelry box from his pocket and handed it over to Lady Wilson, saying, “My father passed this to me on his deathbed and told me that I had to deliver this to his savior no matter what. Since Lord Wilson has already passed away, I will just hand this over to you instead, Lady Wilson.”Lady Wilson thought that Kenneth’s father must have planned to give her a rare treasure to thank the old man for saving his life. Therefore, she quickly opened the jewelry box excitedly and looked inside the jewelry box.However…
As she thought about it, she hurriedly introduced Christopher as she said, “This is my eldest son, Christopher.”Kenneth nodded slightly at Christopher, but he did not seem interested in him at all.Then, Lady Wilson introduced Harold to him. “Chairman Wilson, this is my grandson, Harold.”Harold greeted him in a hurry, “Hello, Chairman Wilson! Please take good care of me in the future!”Kenneth simply nodded and kept his eyes on Wendy even though Lady Wilson had not introduced her to him at all.At last, Lady Wilson smiled as she introduced Wendy to Kenneth. “Chairman Wilson, this is my granddaughter, Wendy.”At this, Kenneth heaved a huge sigh of relief.This was his first time visiting the Wilson family, and he was initially worried that Wendy would turn out to be Harold’s wife. If that was the case, he would not have a chance to proceed with his plan at all.However, when he heard that she was also a member of the Wilson family, Kenneth suddenly felt a fire burning in his h
Lady Wilson was overjoyed when Kenneth said that he would be willing to help the Wilson family.However, Wendy was not happy at all.Her focus was not on the Wilson Group whatsoever.In truth, she did not care about the Wilson Group.All she wanted was to marry a rich young man so that everyone would be envious of her and look up to her!Moreover, the Wilson Group was just one of the properties owned by the Wilson family. What did it have to do with her anyway?What saddened her the most was the fact that Gerald was so indifferent toward her, and she also felt very uncertain about her future.Wendy had no care about what would happen to the Wilson Group at all!When she saw how indifferent Wendy was, Lady Wilson hurriedly nudged her before she said, “Wendy, why are you in a daze? Hurry up and thank Chairman Wilson!”Wendy was taken aback and looked up before she asked, “Why should I thank him?”Lady Wilson became angry when she heard this. “Of course you should thank Chairman
”Oh…” Kenneth smiled awkwardly before he said, “Well, to be honest, I have to be very prudent when it comes to investing. First of all, I would have to look at the specific condition of the Wilson Group, and I would have to determine if there is any value in investing in the company. After that, I would have to determine how much money I want to invest in the company and how long it would take before I can get my investment back. I can only decide whether to invest in the Wilson Group after considering all of those options.”Lady Wilson knew the mess that the Wilson Group was currently in. Moreover, based on their current situation, no one would possibly want to invest in the Wilson Group at all.Why would they do so? It would be useless for them to invest tens of millions of dollars in the Wilson Group. After all, if Emgrand Group had chosen to blacklist the Wilson Group, no one else would want to cooperate and work with the Wilson Group anyway.Moreover, the Wilson Group was invol
Wendy ran out of the house after getting slapped by Lady Wilson. However, Christopher stopped her before she could run out of the courtyard.Christopher persuaded her to come back into the house, but she refused to do so. Wendy felt that the reason why she had ended up this way was because of Lady Wilson. If it weren’t for her, would she be in such a miserable state, then? Thus, Wendy was very angry at this time and wanted to run as far away from home as she possibly could.However, she dispelled that idea when she heard her father’s words.At this time, Christopher said earnestly, “Wendy, where are you going to go if you run away from home? You don’t even have a job, and you will have nowhere to live outside! After all, you are a girl, and it is impossible for you to go out to work so that you can rent a place to live now, right? I know that your grandma is wrong, but what else can we do besides sticking to your grandmother? After all, she is still the head of the Wilson family!”
Wendy knew that her future was very bleak.Lady Wilson wiped the tears off her face before she said seriously, “Wendy, you used to be the princess in our house. I have always spoiled you, your parents spoiled you, and your brother also spoiled you a lot. You did not focus on your studies, and even after graduating, you refused to go to work, but that was still acceptable then. However, that was all in the past. Our family is not what it used to be, now. Wendy, you have to change. You have to learn how to be more mature so that you can share some responsibility on behalf of the Wilson family. Otherwise, our family will only suffer more and more.”Wendy nodded before she said, “Grandma, I am sorry. I was too playful in the past and I did not learn anything at all. I am sorry that I could not do anything for our family…”Lady Wilson squeezed Wendy’s hand before she said earnestly, “Wendy, everything is already in the past. You are, and you will always be, my precious granddaughter. How
After taking a shower that night, Wendy only wrapped a towel around herself before she knocked on Kenneth’s room door.Wendy did not come out of Kenneth’s room again that night.Early the next morning, the expressions on Christopher and Hannah’s faces were very ugly, and they felt extremely embarrassed and awkward when they saw Kenneth walking down the stairs with Wendy.When Kenneth realized that the couple might not be satisfied with him because of the relationship between Wendy and himself, he quickly said without any hesitation, “I have decided to invest eighty million dollars in the Wilson family to help you rebuild the Wilson Group. To prove my sincerity, I want to transfer ten million dollars to the Wilson Group today. I will pay the remaining seventy million dollars to the Wilson Group within a month!As soon as he heard these words, everyone in the Wilson family was extremely excited.Christopher and Hannah no longer felt as embarrassed or uncomfortable as they did before
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
