At this point, Elaine did not know what was in store for her. Elaine entered the airport, but she did not rush to the security check. Instead, she looked for the first-class lounge according to Clarissa’s instructions.She went in and had only sat there for less than ten minutes before a woman who was dressed very extravagantly walked in with a suitcase and handbag.Elaine recognized at a glance that this woman was her new friend, Clarissa, based on the WhatsApp profile picture and photos in her WhatsApp profile.So, she was a little nervous and excited as she waved at her, smiled, and said, “Hello, Madam Zinn! I’m Elaine! Nice to meet you!” When Clarissa saw Elaine, she could not help but say with some surprise, “Oh, Elaine! We finally meet! You must have been waiting here for a long time. I’m sorry, but I was still hosting a meeting before coming to the airport. You don’t know how many things I have to do all day long. It really makes me frustrated.”Elaine smiled and said, “

Clarissa had also heard Lucy mention Elaine’s situation before coming here. She knew that Elaine lived in a first-class villa in Thompson First in Aurous Hill and drove a Rolls-Royce. Therefore, she was not too surprised.She smiled and said to Elaine, “Don’t you think that a car like a Cullinan is a little too big for a woman like us to drive? I rarely drive when I go out, and I would always let the driver drive the MPV so that I can sit in the middle row. It’s much more comfortable and less worrisome compared to when I drive on my own.”Elaine said enviously, “We don’t have a full-time driver or an MPV at home. Otherwise, I would be able to experience the feeling of being a female boss too.”Clarissa smiled and said, “Isn’t this just a trivial matter? I can give you an MPV if you don’t have one. Do you know the Lexus LM300? I ordered three units from a parallel import car dealer some time ago. I was originally planning to keep one for my parents, but they plan to settle down in th

Meanwhile, Clarissa was pretending to pack her suitcase and handbag when her cell phone rang. When she saw the words ‘Mr. Challe’ displayed on the caller ID, she deliberately pretended as if she could not be bothered to pick up the phone and put it to her ear to answer the call. So, she turned on the speakerphone directly, put her cell phone aside, and spoke up, “Mr. Challe, I’m about to board the plane. If there’s anything, we can talk after I land instead.”The other party’s voice sounded very urgent as he said, “Miss, Madam met with an accident!”Clarissa suddenly tensed up and hurriedly asked, “What happened? What’s wrong with my mom?!”The other party said, “Madam went riding with the little master today. I don’t know what happened, but the horse got scared and kicked Madam. Madam passed out. I just took her to the hospital and the doctor said that her condition is a little serious.”Clarissa said anxiously, “What exactly happened? How did my mother get kicked by a horse?! Wha

Clarissa did not expect that Elaine would offer to go to the hospital with her instead of leaving.However, Clarissa was not going to head to the hospital. She simply wanted to come up with a suitable excuse so that she could tempt Elaine into taking the bait so that she could hurriedly slip away. So, she said to Elaine very seriously, “Elaine, there are many things in this suitcase that Lucy has bought for her parents. There are some tonic products and special medicine that cannot be bought in Oskia. I promised Lucy that I would bring these to Hong Kong for her today. I was supposed to go back to Oskia two days ago, but I was waiting for the arrival of these items. Their business will be delayed if I cannot bring these things to them...”Elaine hurriedly asked, “What are you going to do, then? Aren’t you unable to leave?”Clarissa nodded and hurriedly said, “I can’t leave today, but you can go back first. I’ll go to the hospital to settle my mother first. Her body must have suffe

The man asked again, “How much can we get?”Clarissa thought about it and said, “As long as I succeed in getting Elaine to bring the goods in, I will get five thousand US dollars for my hard work regardless of whether she succeeds or not. If Elaine succeeds in bringing the goods in, I will get almost twenty to thirty thousand US dollars.”“That’s great!” The man smiled and said, “Let’s go to Las Vegas to relax after getting this done. D*mn it, I’ve been having bad luck for the first half of the year, and I basically lost all of my f*cking money to the casino. I have to make sure that the casino gives everything back to me in the second half of the year!” Clarissa said, “You can go to Las Vegas, but don’t focus only on gambling when you get there. There are generally many bad gamblers in that kind of place. You have to find a way to trick a few people to go to Mexico.”Having said that, Clarissa sighed and said, “I heard that Martha is doing pretty well. There’s a person who is suc

The security check process for checked-in luggage at the airport was not the same as the security check process for carry-on luggage.Carry-on luggage was carried through the security check by the guests themselves. In contrast, the checked-in luggage was sent through a conveyor belt to a special place for security check after the check-in and check-in procedures were completed. At this time, Elaine was still unaware of what was going to happen next.After she had checked in both suitcases, she took her boarding pass and swaggered to the security checkpoint. When the woman who was watching her nearby saw her checking in and saw that her suitcases were being sent away on the conveyor belt, she was relieved, stood up immediately, and walked out of the airport. Elaine carried her Hermes bag and leisurely approached the VIP security check channel. After that, she immediately enjoyed the warm service from the staff after showing her first-class boarding pass.While others were stil

Claire felt a little frustrated.Sometimes, she felt as if she and her mother were people from two different worlds, and she could not find the same communication frequency with her at all.Moreover, she also knew that her mother was a very decisive person, and once she had already decided on a certain plan, it was impossible for anyone to change her mind. So, Claire did not say anything else and simply reminded her, “Then you must tell me before the plane takes off after you get on the plane so I can rest assured.”Elaine smiled and said, “Okay, I’ve got it. You don’t have to worry about it. Tell my dear son-in-law to drive safely. I’ll hang up now.”After saying that, Elaine hung up the video call directly. After hanging up the video call, Elaine went to check the post that she had just uploaded on WhatsApp, which then made her angry again. It was just like the last time when she had been on a private jet and no one had liked her post at all.Elaine could not help but curs

“Lexus LM300?” Hannah asked in confusion, “What is the LM300?”Elaine blurted out, “It’s the Lexus MPV! You should know that it’s the most expensive MPV in the world! The domestic price of that MPV is more than three million dollars!”Hannah was dumbfounded. “More than three million dollars just to buy an MPV?! If this money was used to buy the Chevrolet Miniev, it could form a line that is longer than a coal train. Isn’t it a little problematic to spend so much money to buy that car?”“What do you know?” Elaine curled her lips and said contemptuously, “You think like a typical poor man. You cannot figure out why the rich would spend hundreds of millions of dollars to buy a private jet, so you certainly would not be able to understand why they would spend more than three million dollars to buy an MPV. The world of the rich is not about the best, but it’s about the most expensive!”After pausing for a moment, Elaine then said again, “Besides, what does an MPV that is three million d

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
