When Charlie heard this, he smiled heartily and said, “Uncle Janus, I have some industries on hand, and I can’t manage them on my own. So, I would like you to come over and help me keep an eye on them if you’re willing to do so.”Janus said without hesitation, “Of course I’m willing! Young Master Wade, when would you like me to start work?”Charlie smiled and said, “There’s no hurry. You can accompany your family first during this period of time. I will go back to the United States tomorrow. You can make a trip to Aurous Hill after I have returned, and we can discuss the specific matters face to face.”“Okay!” Janus said immediately, “We will meet up in Aurous Hill, then!”“Okay. See you in Aurous Hill!”Charlie suddenly felt much more relaxed after hanging up the phone.He had been waiting for Janus to say these words. Janus was not only good at seeing the overall picture, but he also had very precise and accurate control of details. This kind of person was not only very stron

Early the next morning, the media all over Hong Kong received some really shocking news.The news was that Shawn, the top tycoon in Hong Kong, had actually bought Halbert Mansion in Steerlain Island and invited the media reporters to be there to attend the housewarming ceremony!Moreover, what really shocked the media was that Shawn had actually bought this mansion to give to Janus, who was his former love rival and right-hand man!Although Janus did not have much money, he had a surprisingly big reputation in Hong Kong.Hong Kong was a gossip-loving place, and its city of several million people had contributed to more than half the country’s gossip news in both Oskia and Hong Kong during the peak period of the 1990s and the beginning of this century. Therefore, the love triangle between Shawn, Jenna, and Janus was known to almost everyone in Hong Kong.Moreover, everyone in Hong Kong also knew that Shawn wanted to take Janus’s life even in his dreams. Yet now, Shawn had actua

He looked down and realized that it was Charlie calling. He was startled because of his guilty conscience, so he looked around in the car as he wondered if Charlie had installed a bug in the car.However, he quickly regained his composure, answered the call, and asked respectfully, “Mr. Wade, what are your orders since you’re calling me so early in the morning?”Charlie said, “I just saw the news. It seems that many media reporters have gone to Steerlain Island to do live coverage on the spot. The media reporters mentioned that they did not see your whereabouts, Mr. Long. Aren’t you going to come forward to preside over the housewarming ceremony today?”Shawn hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade. I’ve already invited Master Yaleman from Mystery Court to preside over the housewarming ceremony. I will also step forward as the organizer of the housewarming ceremony, but I’m on my way to Sham Shui Po to pick Janus’s family up now, so I might have to wait until I get back to speak to t

Charlie intended to give Shawn a way out because of Marianne.If Charlie did not give Shawn a way out, Shawn would definitely be the object of ridicule of all the people in Hong Kong in the future.If Charlie gave Shawn a way out, he could help Shawn to mediate a little and leave Shawn with the positive image of a person who could repay all grievances with virtue. Moreover, since Kathleen was already here, it would not be a bad idea for Charlie to do Shawn a favor.Shawn was originally still worried about how he would be ridiculed by all the people in Hong Kong, but he suddenly felt as if he had been hit with a shot of adrenaline when he heard Charlie’s words. He asked excitedly, “Mr. Wade, are you serious?!” Charlie said lightly, “Is there a need for me to call you so early in the morning just to tease you?!”Shawn’s tears of excitement were about to fall, and his voice was even trembling as he said, “Thank you so much, Mr. Wade! You’re truly my savior!”Charlie smiled and sa

It is said that a person’s character could be predicted by his behavior at an early age. Judging from his situation, there was basically no hope for a counterattack. A few moments later, Shawn’s convoy entered Sham Shui Po. The convoy made up of all Rolls-Royces formed a powerful contrast with the dilapidated streets of Sham Shui Po.Almost all the residents stuck their heads out of the narrow windows and were dumbfounded as they stared at this endless luxurious convoy. Such an unbelievable sight had not been seen for decades in a place like Sham Shui Po.As a result, many people took out their cell phones to take pictures and videos while also publishing these contents on short video platforms as well as self-publishing news platforms. The convoy soon arrived in front of Campbell Mansion.Janus, along with his mother, younger siblings, and several of their family members were already waiting inside the dilapidated room.When the convoy arrived at the door, Janus’s youngest

Meanwhile, Charlie and Kathleen had already left the hotel and were on their way to Steerlain Island. Kathleen knew that Charlie hoped that she would give a speech to endorse Shawn at the housewarming ceremony today. She was a little puzzled, and after holding onto the doubts in her heart along the way, she could not help but ask, “Mr. Wade, I cannot figure out why you want me to endorse Shawn today?”Charlie looked at Kathleen, smiled slightly, and said, “You’re the smartest woman I’ve ever met. Don’t you understand our ancestors’ method to deal with someone harshly before offering them something by way of consolation?”Kathleen laughed faintly and said, “I understood the strategy of tempering justice with mercy ever since I was very young, but I feel that you have already taught Shawn a good lesson and that he will definitely act more honestly from now on. There is absolutely no need to give him any consolation anymore. What’s more, you’re not giving him a simple consolation. Wit

After saying that, Kathleen did not want Charlie to continue feeling troubled by the topic she had started. So, she said, “By the way, Mr. Wade, I got someone to buy two mansions in Steerlain Island. You will also have a convenient place to stay if you were to come to Hong Kong frequently in the future. Do you want me to show it to you after the housewarming ceremony is over?”Charlie asked in surprise, “Why would you want to buy mansions on Steerlain Island?”Kathleen smiled and said, “It’s mainly for future convenience. After all, Hong Kong is also an international metropolis. It would be inevitable for you to come here to expand your business or attend business summits here in the future. After all, the feeling of staying in a hotel is not as good as staying in your own home.”Having said that, Kathleen then said again, “The two mansions are very large. I got someone to use the group’s name to buy them. I will arrange for the renovations to be done after I take possession of the

When Kathleen saw Aivan’s attentive appearance, she frowned slightly, but she still nodded politely and said, “Hello, Mr. Yaleman.”It was Aivan’s first time meeting such a high-ranking woman for the first time, and he was extremely excited and said in a flattering manner, “I really did not expect to be able to meet you here, Miss Fox. It is indeed a great honor!”Having said that, he hurriedly asked again, “Miss Fox, was Mr. Long the one who invited you to come to Hong Kong this time?”Kathleen nodded lightly. “Yes.” Aivan said excitedly, “I have a very close relationship with Mr. Long. All of Mr. Long’s Feng Shui matters have been handled by us ever since my father’s time.”After saying that, Aivan then said again, “By the way, Miss Fox, you can contact me at any time in the future if you have any Feng Shui needs. I will provide you with the most professional service for free!”Subsequently, Aivan took out a business card from the inside of his Taoist robe, handed it over to

Raymond chuckled at the title, humble as ever, "The Duke of Wastage? Now, that's quite the royal title, and I don't think I deserve such an honor…"Trailing off, he then made an especially curious look, "By the way, how'd you know they were calling me that?"Seeing that he was still so ignorant, Jacob scoffed. "You bought a Renaissance-era bronze sculpture earlier, didn't you?"Raymond nodded. "I did. But technically, it's medieval and not Renaissance, along with a Renaissance-era base."Jacob clutched his stomach as he laughed, "Oh, please! Medieval? Hahaha… You're killing me, Mr. Cole!"Raymond kept a serious look on his face. "It's really medieval. Why don't you take a look?""No way," Jacob snorted, pursing his lips. "Anyway, word has already spread that someone was selling a counterfeit bronze sculpture to defraud Antique Street for some serious dough. He went first to Vintage Deluxe, but their manager, Mr. Crane, saw through it and didn't buy it… and then he came to you, an

That was why most of the collectors only knew that such an item existed but they did not know in whose possession it was.After registering a new account and paying the ten thousand registration fee, Raymond got in.It was very safe as it was anonymous, and he posted a photo of the bronze sculpture and an announcement with an asking price of twenty million.In his opinion, it wasn't that expensive—if it was still gilded, it would be worth around a hundred million. Without it, it was plenty reasonable to cut the price down to just thirty million.And Raymond was cutting another ten million off that, so twenty million was plenty reasonable.Moreover, medieval bronze sculptures were exceedingly rare, and less than one specimen showed up annually at times. Collectors who desired it would therefore be willing to break the bank for it, and that was why Raymond was sure that someone would put in an order once he posted it.As he wrote the summary of the item, someone knocked on his door

Jacob frowned in disdain. "Why would I be worried? He's no longer the manager of Vintage Deluxe, and he just lost a shit ton of money for messing up his appraisal. I am also the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, so why would I be worried about some loser who will soon be kicked out of Antique Street?"Straightening his collar, he snorted coldly, "I am now going to see Raymond Cole and humiliate him face-to-face! He thinks he's impressive, doesn't he? Let's see how he will keep up that facade!"Zachary chuckled, "Yes, exactly! People like him need to be given a slap in the face! As hard as you can! Don't worry—I'll be right behind you. If he gets physical, I'll rush in to help. If he doesn't dare to start a fight, you just insult him as much as possible!""Good plan!" Jacob nodded since he was concerned that Raymond might get physical when pushed too far.And with his body, there was no way he could beat anyone…Spreading his arms, he exclaimed, "Come! I'l

Mick inspected every video to see who was getting the most views, and he then paid out of his own pocket to use paid advertising to get the video viral.It cost five thousand and it hurt, but reaching the trending page was definitely worth it.Mick was quite shrewd too, making sure that the paid advertising was focused locally. After all, he knew all too well that five thousand didn't buy many clicks, and clicks from elsewhere might be too sporadic to gain any worthwhile attention.As he worked in Antique Street, he naturally had to come up with a plan to promote himself in this place, ideally presenting himself as a master appraiser.That way, his fame would slowly extend throughout the province and perhaps Eastern Oskia, and eventually the country.As such, focusing on Aurous Hill was the best idea.Moreover, he also had another idea—if Jasmine Moore happened to see this video, she would see him in a new light.When that happened, he could look forward to getting really rich!
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6478
Soon, the video of Mick's staged act was uploaded to the online group, and everyone eagerly watched it as soon as it was done uploading.Mick certainly set a new bar with his acting as none of them could see that it was an act.Moreover, everyone could see that the bronze sculpture looked like the real deal, and they might have been swindled if it were them.As such, they couldn't help being impressed as Mick had easily seen through Billy's con, and he was the definition of a pro in that video.No matter how Billy had packaged it, there was no tricking real experts like Mick Crane. Just a quick glance and he had seen through that it was a postmodern replica, matched with a base from the Renaissance era to misdirect and beguile.With that, many fellow antique dealers changed their opinion of Mick.After all, Vintage Deluxe's business had been declining after Mick took over as manager, and people were presuming that his skills were lacking.But now, they were all shown that he had

"Amazing, Mr. Crane!""It's Mr. Crane who shines through, in the end! His eyes see through everything!""I guess Miss Moore made the right choice firing Raymond and appointing Mr. Crane! Mr. Crane is infinitely better!"Mick was immediately thrilled to see them fawning over him, and he laughed, "You flatter me—I'm merely sharing my personal perspective on this. In this trade, anyone who knows would understand how hard it is to get the good stuff in this age of technology.""There are plenty of people who hold ulterior motives and change their tactics knowing that there are always those scheming to get their hands on vintage treasures, so they just have to make it. That is how they started making counterfeits of everything, from scrolls to sculptures to statues, each of them so real just to trick those fools who think they could get rich overnight!""Exactly!" Someone promptly agreed. "There's never a lack of any such fools, and I just happened to meet one. I had this piece of jade

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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6474
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
