In Smith’s opinion, it was both unexpected and yet justified that the White House wanted the patent for the Apothecary Restoration Pill.As soon as the health department reported such information to the White House, they would naturally not let go of such a good opportunity.However, it was not up to them to decide whether they would be able to get the patent or not. This kind of medicine was like a super money printing machine, and as long as anyone had a little vision, it would simply be impossible for him to sell the patent. However, Smith did not disappoint the other party but instead, he readily agreed and said, “I will try my best to promote this matter after I meet the person-in-charge.”Upon saying that, Smith added, “But I’m afraid that I will not be able to handle such a big matter alone. Do you think that the White House will want to send a few negotiators over here?”The Minister of Health immediately said, “It’s not convenient or good for the White House to come ou

At noon of the following day, Eastcliff time, Smith’s flight landed in Raventon, the largest city in Oskia. Immediately afterward, he transferred directly from Raventon to the high-speed railway and arrived in Aurous Hill before he had had any time to rest.As soon as he arrived in Aurous Hill, he immediately took a taxi to The Apothecary Pharmaceutical’s headquarters in Aurous Hill. He did not get in touch with Liam at all throughout the entire process.This was because he was afraid that Liam would not be willing to see him. So, he planned to visit Liam directly when he arrived at The Apothecary Pharmaceutical. After close to twenty hours of travel, Smith finally arrived at The Apothecary Pharmaceutical at six o’clock in the evening.Once he had arrived at the entrance of The Apothecary Pharmaceutical, he was stopped by the security guard at the gate because he did not have a pass card. So, he could only tell the security guard in fluent Oskian dialect, “Hello, my name is Ja

Charlie had not left his house after rushing back from the Middle East the previous night.This was because it happened to be Saturday today, and Claire had also not gone to the company. Therefore, the couple had begun reorganizing their small vegetable garden instead.Charlie’s mother-in-law, Elaine, also tagged along with them on crutches in order to help a little bit. Still, as it was inconvenient for her leg, she basically could not help much at all.The both of them worked all day until the sky was dark, and the vegetable garden was finally properly cleaned. Claire then picked some fresh beans and took the initiative to make some pasta for Charlie. As a southern girl, Claire originally did not know how to make this kind of pasta. However, she had happened to stumble upon other people’s tutorial videos on Instagram, and since the beans in their vegetable garden had already ripened, Claire thought of cooking for Charlie.So, Claire dragged her mother, Elaine, to the kitchen

Albert also usually treated this place as his office, and he would always stay here as long as he did not need to go out.Smith was soon brought to Albert’s tea room. As soon as he saw Albert, who had a strong presence, he hurried up to him and said politely, “Hello, Mr. Albert! My name is Jameson Smith, and I come from Washington in the United States!”Albert shook his hand and invited him to sit down opposite the tea set. He smiled and said, “Please sit down, Mr. Smith. Try our Oskian tea!”Smith hurriedly sat down and accepted the cup of tea that Albert had handed over to him. He did not bother to taste the tea, and he simply said impatiently, “Mr. Albert, I would like to ask you to help me to make an appointment with Liam Weaver from The Apothecary Pharmaceutical. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to do so?”Albert smiled and said, “Of course it’s convenient! As long as the public relations fee is in place, I will give you an appointment immediately. When the time come

The health minister’s words made Smith feel completely relieved.He certainly would not be able to afford it if he were to really take five million US dollars out on his own.So, Smith returned to The Heaven Springs immediately, looking for Albert to ask for his bank account number. After that, he gave feedback to the Minister of Health immediately. Not long after, five million US dollars was remitted to Albert’s bank account.Albert was dumbfounded when he saw the arrival information as prompted by the bank.He really did not expect that it would be so easy to make money these days.He had simply poured a cup of tea for the other party and said a few words. Moreover, the other party had not even taken a sip of that cup of tea, yet five million US dollars was then subsequently remitted into his bank account.What’s more, half of that sum of money was for him.Smith could not wait to ask Albert after he was certain that Albert had already received the money, “Mr. Albert, can I a

Otherwise, in his case, it would be difficult for him to take out five million US dollars so easily within such a short period of time. Albert then added, “Oh, by the way, Master Wade, Mr. Smith also said that the Apothecary Stomach Pill has already been approved for listing in the United States. He said that some kind of return receipt letter would be sent soon.”Charlie smiled faintly and said, “As expected.”After saying that, he then said to Albert, “Albert, tell Smith that Liam has decided to meet with him tomorrow morning. Ask him to come to The Heaven Springs at noon tomorrow. I will come and attend the meeting with Liam at that time.”“Okay!” Albert said respectfully, “In that case, I will prepare the Diamond Room in advance, and I will not be receiving any external guests tomorrow.”Charlie instructed, “Make an appointment with Liam as well. If Liam is not available at noon, you can make an appointment with him for tomorrow night, then. Either way, I will be free at noon

Seeing that Liam had started to get used to the new, temporary title, Charlie sat beside Liam and asked him, “Have you received the return receipt letter of the Apothecary Stomach Pill from The Food and Drug Administration?” “Yes, I did.” Liam said, “The Food and Drug Administration has even listed the Apothecary Stomach Pill as a medication for use in hospitals. We’ve now started the procedures of customs approval. We’ll soon send five million boxes to the United States.” Charlie then asked him, “Have you established the sales channel in the United States? After all, the Apothecary Stomach Pill is an oral drug. We can’t put it on sale on our own, right?” “Yes.” Liam explained, “Any item that is termed as medicine must go through the proper channel of drugstores to sell them. So, we have to start with Walgreens in the United States. There are more than eight thousand Walgreens in the United States, and it is a drugstore franchise that has the highest sales in the United States. I

He did not know Charlie, and he also did not know Charlie’s identity. Still, as long as he saw that Liam was there, he was half-relieved. Thinking of his wife’s advice, he got on his knees the moment he entered the place. Looking ashamed, he said to Liam, “Mr. Weaver! It was all my fault! Let me apologize to you!”After he had said that, he bent down and groveled before Liam. Liam was slightly bewildered by what Smith was doing, and he said awkwardly, “Mr. Smith, what are you doing...” Smith said remorsefully, “I was blinded before and offended you. I’ve also offended that amazing medicine, the Apothecary Restoration Pill. I’m filled with deep regret. So, I hope that you’ll forgive me for offending you previously!”Liam said helplessly, “Alright, that’s fine. We’ll forget about that for the time being. You’d better take a seat. Let’s talk business.” Only then did Smith stand up in utter gratitude. After that, he took the seat that was left vacant for him. At that time, Liam

In groups like these, any gossip would immediately spread like wildfire as people share everything here with their other circles.Within minutes of these people's good work, Antique Street was abuzz even as the skies darkened: one of the antique traders had been swindled for 300 thousand, and it was Raymond Cole—the former manager of the Vintage Deluxe at that!Some of them wondered when Raymond had actually returned while others were laughing.He was supposed to be the former manager of the Vintage Deluxe, but he had messed up as well? You had to be kidding!Many were dumbstruck too—how would Raymond survive in Antique Street after losing so much money? It had been so long since such a major scam had been pulled!As such, all the antique dealers were asking one question: how did Raymond Cole get fooled?Meanwhile, Mick didn't leak the security footage right away, instead sending his people out to spread the news in other channels, claiming that Raymond thought he had won big by

Mick had already clipped the security footage and was waiting for Zachary's word.He had checked the footage repeatedly as well and was only getting more impressed with his masterful acting by the second. He looked just like a maestro, and every detail he mentioned was flawless and showed experience.Zacahry even said that Raymond had truly slipped up with that bronze sculpture, leaving him endlessly thrilled.The proverbial missing piece of the puzzle was here!Hence, calling all the staff he trusted, he told them excitedly, "Spread the word right away—Raymond Cole slipped up, spending 300 thousand on a fake Renaissance-era bronze sculpture!"His staff had no idea of the conspiracy involved, only that Mick had said that someone had tried to sell a counterfeit bronze sculpture but he had seen through it right away and chased him away, only for Raymond to end up buying the fake bronze sculpture soon after.Someone asked, "Mr. Crane, don't you think Raymond Cole bought from the man

Raymond had said everything he should and shouldn't and with complete sincerity exactly because Billy would never believe it.As Billy just wanted to swindle him, it didn't matter how sincere Raymond was—he wanted the 300 thousand whatever it took. The key here was that Billy had refused a better prospect when told it was possible, and there was evidence that would support Raymond if either he or Zachary realized the truth and came to start trouble.That meant Raymond had nothing to worry about—they could take this to the United Nations but he'd still win this case.Having been in the antique trade for so long, he had seen every form of oddity and was always cautious with people, considering every aspect of any issue.Hence, once he downloaded the security footage to his phone, Raymond decided that he needed to sell the bronze sculpture—not because he was in urgent need of money, but because he realized that there were those who wanted him out of Aurous Hill's Antique Street.Afte

There were those in Antique Street who made their living from swindling the average Joe while others swindled antique traders.In fact, it was already cliche for them to trick antique traders with forgeries, and it was not surprising that someone had tried their luck on the opening day of Raymond's shop.As such, it was strange that he had just started today without any hype or even a proper shop sign, but someone was already after him.That told him that he was being targeted, and Raymond was putting his money on Zachary.The sole reason for that was how Zachary had come earlier to ask Raymond about how much capital he had, and he had humbly said a few hundred thousand.The fact that Billy had come and immediately demanded 500 thousand made even more sense—he wanted to siphon all of Raymond's capital.Even losing money wasn't the worst part—the worst was being labeled as an amateur.When that happened, customers who wanted the good stuff wouldn't come to him, and he would find

Just as Jacob was celebrating fooling Raymond, getting his revenge, and earning 200 thousand on top of that, Charlie was left musing to himself on the second floor of the teahouse.He knew that Billy was a conman as soon as he saw him, but he didn't understand why Raymond would buy from Billy.Could the item really be medieval as Raymond stated?As soon as the thought occurred to him, Charlie was sure of it. Given Raymond's knowledge of antiques, there was no way he would mess up in Antique Street of Aurous Hill.While his father-in-law and Zachary had worked hard to weave this elaborate conspiracy, Charlie still wondered how they would take the news that Raymond had bought something worth millions for just 300 thousand.Meanwhile, Raymond watched as Billy left and locked the door from the inside before studying the bronze sculpture once more.He trusted his own judgment that it was a gilded bronze statue from the medieval era. He was playing down its importance since the bronze

Meanwhile, Raymond sighed unhappily. "I really can't afford four hundred grand—like I said, there's not much to offer here in my shop, which I've been investing a lot in. I'd have to pay rent to the owner soon as well, and everything would end terribly for me if I paid that much…"Billy blurted right then, "You said it's medieval and worth millions, didn't you? You'd make a fortune if you sold it!"Raymond sighed again. "Million-dollar antiques aren't that easily sold, and people would be especially skeptical with a small business like mine. I could sell it at an auction too, but that's only happening when someone decides to organize one, not to mention the troublesome appraisal processes it involves.""And right now, I just think it's medieval in terms of style, but I'm no authority in the matter. In the end, it's up to experts and specific groups that would verify it, and if I messed up, it's entirely my loss.""Even if I'm lucky and it's medieval, I'd still have to wait until th

"Invest?!"Billy was left dumbstruck at the term.What even was this fool up to? This definitely wasn't in the script! What about the questions he was supposed to ask? It was like sitting for a grade-schooler test and suddenly being hit with a bar exam!In the car, Jacob blurted out, "What the hell is that bastard thinking? Is he really going to pay 250 thousand?!"Zachary pursed his lips. "Maybe he's just throwing us bait. Think about it—if we took the deal, we'd have to leave a contact number.""After that, he would trick us and say he sold it for ten million and lure us in for the five million. We'd definitely show up, wouldn't we? Once we came, it might turn out that he has called the cops and would even produce\ the bronze sculpture as evidence. Wouldn't we be just shooting ourselves in the foot?"Jacob was left in misery, his face contorting as he pouted, "But you said the cops wouldn't get involved…"Zachary rolled his eyes, "Yes, they wouldn't most of the time since that
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6469
However, neither Zachary nor Jacob expected Raymond to confuse them further as he asked Billy, "If you can afford to wait, you can leave the bronze sculpture with me as a consignment. I'll only take 10% off the sales while you get the rest—how about that?"Jacob was stunned and asked Zachary, "What the hell is he up to? Did he get too deep into character?"Zachary shook his head. "I don't get it either… is he trying to keep the bronze sculpture to use as evidence against us?"Jacob frowned. "I thought you said there was a gentleman agreement in this business, and the cops won't really care anyway?"Zachary snorted. "He said he would keep it as a consignment, meaning that he won't spend a dime. What if he told all the antique dealers instead of going to the cops? He would prove that he's sharp, making a name for himself… and what can we do? Do we take back the bronze sculpture? Even if we do, can we really ask for it?'"Fuck!" Jacob swore. "Then what are we waiting for? Tell Billy
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6468
In Treasure Measure, even Billy was having a hard time understanding what was going on.Before he came, Zachary made it very clear that he was here to dupe Raymond Cole, and he had come.As such, his job was now to claim that this bronze sculpture which was made in the last century was actually from the Renaissance era and then sell it to Raymond at a cutthroat price.But now, Raymond himself was saying that it was medieval? What was that supposed to mean?Even as he was left confused, he blurted out, "Sir, if you say it's from medieval times… then how much is it worth?"Raymond thought about it and said, "It's quite an unpopular item, but it's not to say that no one would buy it or that no one likes it. The main issue is that there were plenty of wars at that time, and most bronze would be used for weapons. Copper production would be low with rationing as well, so bronze tools were naturally rare for civilians.""Gilding is common for better quality items, and from the northern
