The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4454
Charlie called Porter after Claire had agreed for him to go to Hong Kong.As soon as the call was connected, Porter, who was on the other end of the line, asked, “Master Wade, have you discussed this matter with your wife? Will you be able to come over to help me?”Charlie said, “My wife and I have already discussed this matter. You’re lucky that my mother-in-law has happened to just arrive in the United States. So, she can help me take care of my wife. Otherwise, I really would not be able to go over to help you.”Porter hurriedly said, “That’s great! Master Wade, what time would be suitable for you? I will arrange for a business jet from the United States to send you here!”Charlie excused himself and said, “There is no need for you to send a business jet here. I can just buy a flight ticket.”Porter said, “It will take you at least twenty hours or more if you come here on a connecting flight. Moreover, you might not be able to buy the earliest ticket. It would be faster for you

“Okay!” Claire nodded heavily and then said, “Hurry up and go in. Aren’t you taking off at eight o’clock? There’s only half an hour left.” “Okay.” Charlie got out of the car, and after Claire had sat back in the car, he waved at her and said, “Honey, I’ll go first. Drive carefully on your way back.”Claire nodded obediently and said softly, “Tell me in advance when you’re done, and I’ll come and pick you up at the airport when you come back.”“Okay!”Charlie watched Claire drive away before he turned around and walked into the airport.After a simple security check, he boarded the business jet arranged by Porter.The plane took off on time at eight o’clock and flew toward Hong Kong at great speed. Fourteen hours later, it was already ten o’clock in the morning in Hong Kong.The business jet that Charlie was on was still more than an hour away from Hong Kong. So, Charlie called Autumn and told her that he was going to reach Hong Kong soon. He asked her to notify Shawn to mee

Autumn did not expect that Shawn would want Charlie to stay at his house. However, Autumn did not know what Charlie’s purpose was in visiting Shawn. So, she did not dare to agree on Charlie’s behalf without his authorization, and she said, “Mr. Long, you should wait until you meet him in person and talk to him about this personally. See what he wants, then.”“Okay!” Shawn smiled and said, “Miss Hart, please rest assured that I will definitely let him feel the enthusiasm and warmth of Hong Kong!”Autumn said, “Okay. My assistant’s name is Charlie Wade. Make sure you write his name on a sign and hold up the sign at the entrance of the airport. He will go to you when he sees it.”“No problem!” Shawn said immediately without hesitation, “I’ll get ready to leave now, then!”After that, he hung up the phone and said to Jenna, “Get the maids to clean up the largest guest room on the second floor. We need to entertain a distinguished guest first!” Jenna asked in surprise, “Shawn, what

Jenna muttered, “Your daughter does not even listen to you, so why would she listen to me when I’m just her stepmother? You’d better call her yourself if you want to call her to come over...”Shawn was a little dissatisfied with Jenna’s attitude, but after hesitating for a moment, he waved his hand and said helplessly, “Forget it. I’ll talk to her when I’m on the way later! Go and make all the arrangements for everything else!” “Okay!” Jenna did not dare to refuse, and she nodded in a hurry. Meanwhile, Charlie received a phone call from Autumn and learned that Shawn actually wanted to invite him to stay at his house. He was surprised, and he could not help but think that it was ridiculous. So, he called Porter, and as soon as the call was connected, Charlie asked him, “Porter, where are you now?”Porter said respectfully, “Mr. Wade, I’m preparing to go to the airport to pick you up now.”Charlie informed him, “Porter, you don’t need to pick me up at the airport today. I plan t

An hour later, the plane that Charlie was on landed at Hong Kong International Airport. Meanwhile, at the exit of the airport. The famous Hong Kong tycoon, Shawn, was personally holding a sign with the words ‘Charlie Wade’ written on it. He was really looking forward to Charlie’s arrival as he stood at the airport exit with his wife, Jenna.Jenna was wearing thick sunglasses and a mask, and she had a somewhat unhappy expression on her face.She did not know much about business, but she felt that as Hong Kong’s famous Mrs. Long, it was embarrassing for her to be picking someone up at the airport in person.Shawn did not care about that. He knew very well that a businessman must absolutely never have any trouble with money. If he only had to sacrifice a little of his reputation so that this collaboration could go smoothly, wouldn’t this be a great deal, then?At this time, Charlie was carrying a backpack as he walked out of the exit.He looked around and soon saw the fat man

Although Charlie was speaking vaguely, he was actually pointing these two people out.Even though Charlie did not say anything about Jenna’s specific deeds, the couple coincidentally thought of Jenna’s elopement with Janus. For so many years, this incident had been Jenna’s weakness in front of Shawn, and this was also the source of Shawn’s deepest pain. Charlie was implicitly pointing to this fact, which in turn made these two people feel extremely uncomfortable.The reason why Charlie had said this was also completely intentional.He simply wanted to see how much patience Shawn would have in front of him. He was merely provoking Shawn a little bit for now. If Shawn could endure it, there would be bigger provocations waiting for him later.It would be great if Shawn could lose his temper in front of him now.After all, Charlie had flown all the way here from the United States this time to specifically teach him how to behave.Moreover, what Charlie was best at was using som

Charlie had already read all of Shawn’s information before his plane had landed.This old man was very flirtatious, and out of his three marriages, he had five children.The eldest of his five children was his eldest daughter, Marianne. Shawn’s first wife had given birth to Marianne. Marianne was twenty-four years old this year, and she was studying for a doctorate in the Literature Department at Hong Kong University. Marianne’s mother had died of cervical cancer when she was five years old, and a year after her mother’s death, her father, Shawn, had married an actress from the Hong Kong entertainment industry who was ten years younger than him.A few years later, Jenna had come back from the United States. Shawn had then divorced his second wife and married Jenna instead.Shawn’s first wife had given him two daughters, and Marianne was the eldest daughter. Her sister was three years younger than her and was currently studying in England. The actress had given birth to two c

After the convoy came in, the bodyguards got out of the car first and opened the door for Charlie, Shawn, and Jenna, who was in the other car.The maids greeted Shawn and Jenna with a “Sir, Madam” in unison, but Shawn then pointed directly at Charlie and said to everyone, “Come, greet Mr. Wade!”So, the crowd hurriedly bowed to Charlie and greeted him again.Shawn then continued saying to the crowd, “Mr. Wade will be staying at our house for the next few days. You have to serve Mr. Wade well and not let him feel any dissatisfaction. Do you understand me?” The crowd naturally agreed in succession, and they did not dare to be negligent. After that, Shawn said to Charlie, “Mr. Wade, I already got the maids to clean up the guest room before you came. You will stay here with me as long as you’re in Hong Kong. You don’t have to be courteous with me!”Charlie was also very happy to oblige and so, he smiled and said, “I’ll accept willingly if that’s the case!”“Okay!” Shawn patted Cha

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
