The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4425
However, when Elaine thought of how the salesgirl had already set up the atmosphere, wouldn’t she be unable to live up to the title as the ‘top amongst the noblewomen’ if she were to say that she could not afford it? Just as Elaine was feeling uneasy, the salesgirl placed the treasure of the store in front of her.Elaine looked down at the price tag and suddenly exclaimed, “Oh, my God! Seven, eight, eight, eight... Seven, followed by six eights with no decimal points... This is f*cking 7.88 million dollars!”The salesgirl in front of her took the necklace out, looked at Elaine, and then looked at the necklace before she shook her head and said, “Madam, I suddenly feel that this necklace is somewhat dull in front of you.”Elaine was about to cry.‘A necklace that is nearly eight million dollars also looks somewhat dull in front of an old lady like me?! Do you think that I’m as bright as the sun?!’Hannah, who was behind her, was also shocked and blurted out, “This necklace is too

Hannah, who was aside, had already exclaimed in shock before Elaine responded. She blurted out, “I remember that there have never been any discounts in your brand before. How can it suddenly be eighty thousand dollars cheaper?!”The salesgirl smiled and said, “Madam, you’re right. We never offer discounts in our store. Today is the only exception, and it is only for today!”Elaine was also moved.A brand that had never given any discount was now directly cheaper by eighty thousand dollars. This was a huge bargain!As the saying goes, it would be stupid if she did not take advantage of a bargain.If she did not buy this necklace, she would wake up with regrets at night. So, she quietly turned on her cell phone and glanced at her account balance in her bank app. She had three hundred and sixty-two thousand dollars left in her bank account.In the few days that Charlie and Claire were gone, not only did she spend eighty thousand dollars in the beauty salon for a super VIP member

The salesgirl said, “The cashback is 20%. Didn’t you buy this necklace for three hundred and sixty thousand dollars? We will refund 20% of the money to you after the transaction, which is seventy-two thousand dollars.”“Oh, my God...” Elaine blurted out, “Wouldn’t that mean that I would be able to buy this necklace, that is worth more than four hundred and eighty thousand dollars, for less than three hundred thousand dollars after I participate in these various activities?!”“Yes!” The salesgirl held the calculator for a while and said, “The actual price will be only two hundred and eighty-eight thousand dollars, which is two hundred thousand dollars cheaper!”Elaine was extremely happy. Two hundred thousand dollars cheaper! Wasn’t this a great bargain for nothing?!Just as Elaine was feeling excited, the salesgirl said, “By the way, you can come to the store to participate in the lottery at about 1.00 pm or 2.00 pm after you buy the necklace. The lottery is free, and the highest

Even though she had no tears, Elaine really felt like crying when she heard this.However, in order to maintain her status as the top amongst the noblewomen, she could only clench her teeth and bear with it.After all, she thought to herself, ‘I cannot argue with this salesgirl for the arrival time of the seventy thousand dollars. After all, she was quite good to me and gave me so many discounts...’‘What’s more, it’s not that they are not going to return the seventy thousand dollars back to me. It’s just the normal procedure, so how can I have a fallout with them over this? Wouldn’t it be a little too unreasonable of me, then?’As Elaine thought of this, she could not help but sigh as she thought to herself, ‘The main thing is that I only have more than two thousand dollars in my bank card now, and it will only be enough to last me for a few days...’After making up her mind, Elaine did not continue talking about this issue. Instead, she pretended to laugh and casually said to th

Elaine kept thinking about the lottery after she was done eating.She did not expect to win the 1.2 million grand prize. She would be satisfied as long as she could win any prize at all.After eating, Elaine and Hannah returned to Harbour City again.At this time, the manager of the jewelry store had already received the lottery tickets that Jasmine had sent over.This batch of lottery tickets had been made by a printing house working overtime this morning, and the lottery tickets still smelled strongly of ink. When Elaine walked into the store with Hannah, the salesgirl from the morning hurriedly rushed over to greet her as she smiled and said, “Madam, you’re here! Please come with me to our store manager’s office!”As she spoke, she lowered her voice deliberately and said to Elaine, “Madam, our lottery today is only limited to high-end customers like you. Ordinary customers in the store are not entitled to it, so let’s keep a low profile and not let them find out about it.”E

Elaine’s heart was beating rapidly when she saw the words ‘grand prize’.After Hannah heard what Elaine said, she hurriedly leaned forward and looked down.As soon as she looked, she could clearly see the words ‘grand prize’ written clearly on the prize redemption area.At this moment, Hannah felt so depressed that she really felt like dying.‘I really cannot understand why that d*mned b*tch, Elaine, could have such f*cking good luck?!’‘She drew the grand prize as soon as she reached out her hand! Is she still a f*cking human being?’‘Seeing that d*mned b*tch, Elaine, winning 1.2 million dollars makes me feel even more uncomfortable than if I were to lose 1.2 million dollars myself!’Elaine was already rejoicing at this time, and she hurriedly asked the store manager, “What exactly is the grand prize?”The store manager hurriedly said, “Go ahead and scratch the prize! The prize is written below, but you won’t know what it is until you scratch it off.”Elaine muttered, “It’d b

After that, he reminded her, “By the way, Madam, I will let you know when our finance department can pay your cashback to you.”The store manager’s words undoubtedly reminded Elaine.He made Elaine realize that she was out of money!‘I only have more than two thousand dollars left now. If I’m going to use this amount of money to live through the remaining half a month, I will only be able to scrimp on food and clothing. I can only buy groceries and cook at home every day or eat cheap takeouts at home...’‘Besides that, even if I were to drive the Rolls-Royce out every day for a leisurely stroll, I’m afraid that I might not be able to fill up gasoline for the car...’‘In contrast, if I were to go to the United States at this time, I can go and join my daughter-in-law and son-in-law! I can drink and eat good food with Charlie, and I can also have a good time in the United States! Wouldn’t that be better than eating soup in Thompson First, then?’‘Moreover, I can completely excuse m
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4432
Although Elaine had already made up her mind regarding the matter of going to the United States, she suddenly did not know how to tell Charlie and Claire about it.Of course, she did not dare to tell them directly that she had spent all her money and had no money for her expenses now. What’s more, she just so happened to win the grand prize to fly to the United States for free and would be flying over to join her daughter and son-in-law. Therefore, she made up her mind to find her daughter, Claire, to act pitiful in front of her first. However, at this time, it was already two o’clock in the morning in the United States. Elaine hesitated for a moment but decided to wait until it was nighttime in Oskia and morning in the United States to start a video call with Claire.Meanwhile, after confirming that Claire was asleep, Charlie, who was in the United States, then put a little Reiki into Claire’s mind to ensure that she could sleep more steadily. After that, he got up and got dress

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
