The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4864
After lunch, Merlin’s wife, daughter, and son-in-law finally landed at New York JFK Airport while the Ito family and Yashita were still flying over the ocean.The Acker family’s helicopter had been waiting at the airport for a long time. Under the Acker family’s coordination, the plane that was supposed to be parked on the corridor bridge was temporarily changed to a remote location. As soon as the three people got off the plane, they were taken away directly to the helicopter that was not far away by the Acker family’s staff who were waiting below.Merlin was so nervous in Ark Building that he kept pacing and rubbing his hands together.He had been repeatedly practicing the solution that Kathleen had given him out of fear that he would say the wrong thing when he met his family later.When Kathleen saw his nervousness, she said, “Chief Lammy, don’t worry too much. If you’re too nervous to express yourself well later, I can explain things to your wife for you then.”Christian also

An angel investor meant merely investing while disregarding the operation.These people could do whatever they wanted as long as the money was in place. They had a lot of things going on at their end, so you could just inform them if you didn’t have enough money as long as you did not bother them.This was what Josie really could not accept and felt most desperate about.However, when she heard from Christian that Merlin’s disappearance for so many days was due to some unexpected events, she burst into tears immediately and could not help but say to Christian, “Christian, to tell you some heartfelt words, if I didn’t still have some feelings for that b*stard, Merlin, I would have already filed for a divorce to the court on the grounds of de facto separation! After all, it’s easy to get divorced in the United States. We’ve been separated for years, so it’d be easy for us to get divorced in any state!”Having said that, she took out her handkerchief, blew her nose, and said in despai

Merlin did not expect that his wife, who had always been gentle, would react so fiercely. In the past, his wife would also have conflicts with him, but that was basically whining, sulking, and just a few days of cold war, at most.This was the first time she was yelling and scolding him so intensely. However, Merlin also knew that the reason why his wife had lost her composure was because she had been too worried about him during this period of time, so he naturally did not feel angry at all.Therefore, he could not wait to use Kathleen’s idea to explain himself. After making up his mind, he quickly explained, “Josie, I... I have a reason for that...”“Why? What’s the reason?” Josie asked angrily, “Don’t you think I understand you well enough yet, Merlin? Everything else is more important to you compared to me and your daughter! Your mind will be occupied whenever someone dies in New York, but when are you ever concerned about us?”Merlin was a little speechless.He was alre

Kathleen said indifferently, “Ten million US dollars may indeed be a lot to you, but to me, ten million US dollars is less than one percent of the compensation that I paid to those victims on behalf of the Fox family. This matter is very dangerous, and the slightest mistake could cost a person’s life.”Immediately afterward, she looked at Josie as well as Joy, who was behind Josie, and said seriously, “Actually, what I want to say is that you shouldn’t be complaining about how Chief Lammy didn’t inform you about this matter in advance. After all, the matter that I entrusted him to do was not only very complicated, but it was also very dangerous and he might have even lost his life if he was not careful.”“What’s more, Chief Lammy has already retired and intended to go back to take care of his own life, and there was no need for him to take this risk at all. However, he became very excited because of the ten million US dollars commission, and he didn’t accept the task because he wante

The family problems that Merlin had been worried about were finally successfully resolved with Kathleen’s help. Merlin’s sense of ‘family responsibility’ and ‘dedication’ not only made his wife and daughter forget about his disappearance during this period of time, but it also changed their image of him being an incompetent man, in their opinion.It could be said that Merlin’s image was suddenly pushed to an unprecedented height to his wife and daughter. Merlin’s wife and daughter gathered around him, and their eyes were flushed red from crying. Merlin was excited but also ashamed, and at the same time, he looked at Kathleen with slight gratitude that could not be concealed.Lord Acker admired Kathleen even more, and he took advantage of other people’s attention on Merlin’s family and called Christian and Kaeden aside as he whispered, “Miss Fox will be able to achieve great things in the future. The Acker family must strengthen our collaboration with her and build bridges with he

Charlie came to the top floor to greet her. He soon saw the helicopter door open followed by Nanako coming down from the helicopter dressed in a kimono, and he could not help but feel slightly taken aback.Although Nanako was indeed very beautiful in a kimono and had a very unique and gentle Japanese temperament, Charlie still could not figure out why Nanako would dress like this to come here. When Nanako saw Charlie, whom she had been longing for, in front of her, she was overjoyed and had a bright smile on her face as she said to Charlie, “Charlie-kun, I haven’t seen you in a long time!”Charlie smiled slightly, nodded, and said, “It has been a while indeed. Why are you dressed so grandly?”At this time, the Ito family’s butler and Nanako’s aunt also got off the helicopter and helped Yahiko, who was wearing his prostheses, out of the helicopter. Charlie looked even more surprised when he saw all these people dressed formally. Nanako stuck out her tongue and said playfully, “

When Isaac heard Charlie’s instructions, he immediately said, “Okay, Young Master. I’ll go and make the arrangements now.”After saying that, he quickly turned around and left.Yahiko felt a little embarrassed and said, “Mr. Wade, you don’t have to do that. It’s not necessary to celebrate my birthday. You can just give your orders directly if you have anything you need.”Nanako, who was aside, also could not guess Charlie’s real purpose in asking them to come to New York, so she also said very sincerely, “Charlie-kun, you don’t need to be so polite with us if you need the Ito family to do something for you! The Ito family will definitely go all out no matter what your request is!”Charlie said with a smile, “If you really want me to say it, there is, in fact, something that I need the Ito family to do for me.”Having said that, Charlie paused slightly and said again, “I recently got my hands on a pill that is somewhat helpful to the disabled. That is why I want to ask Mr. Ito and

“No.” Charlie smiled and said, “A large amount of beauty mud has been prepared in the bathtub. The two of you can just close your eyes and rest when you lie in it. Don’t worry about the rest.”“Okay!” Yahiko nodded heavily and said, “In that case, we won’t waste your time anymore, Mr. Wade. Let’s start right now!”Charlie nodded and said with a smile, “By the way, Mr. Ito, why don’t you make a birthday wish since it’s your birthday today?”“Well...” Yahiko said awkwardly, “Nanako already made me make a wish when I was on the plane to come here...”Charlie asked with a smile, “May I ask what kind of wish did you make, Mr. Ito?”Yahiko laughed at himself and said, “To be honest, I didn’t make a wish at the time. I simply went along with it.”When Nanako heard this, she said angrily, “Otou-san! How can you fool even yourself?!”“Did I?” Yahiko sneered and said, “Making a wish is just a formality! If I want to wish for world peace, I’d still have to ask the Americans if they agree t

Later, after Charlie told Jeremiah over the phone about the joint venture with the Ackers to establish Curtis Autos, the old man was awash with tears, especially after Charlie told him that it was Keith who suggested it. After all, Curtis was his favorite son whose death he could never really get over. Moreover, he once believed that only his family mourned Curtis while the Ackers never did, and he held a grudge over his son's passing. As such, he was surprised that Keith held such great respect toward his late son and didn't hesitate to say yes when Charlie invited him to Aurous Hill to sign an agreement with the Ackers.Still, Charlie wasn't in a hurry to arrange for a specific time, and he was going to let the Ackers sort out the human resources of Godot Autos over a few days. It still wouldn't be too late by then.Moreover, he was keen to allow the buzz to have time to grow so that the automotive industry would be astounded by the joint project between the Ackers and the Wade

Christian was the first to exclaim in approval, "Yes! Curtis Autos sounds wonderful! It has my vote!""Seconded!" Kaiden nodded, pumping the air with his right fist. "I've looked up to Curtis the most, and I absolutely agree with naming the company after him!"Jaxson was nodding too. "Me too!""Yes!" Lulu chirped.Yolden couldn't help agreeing as well. "Curtis Autos is definitely a good name!"Merlin raised his hand gingerly as well. "Quit it with your flattery already," Keith chuckled, and he turned toward Charlie solemnly. "In the end, Curtis is Charlie's father, and the final decision goes to him!"Charlie's eyes were welling up with tears—his parents had been gone for almost three decades, yet he had never thought of dedicating anything to their memory.As such, Keith's suggestion to use Curtis's name for the car company left him thrilled. After all, wouldn't his father's soul be honored if Curtis Autos rocked the country, maybe even the world?With that in mind, he nodd

Charlie also had to agree that this was an opportunity to formally reconcile the Wades and the Ackers.While he couldn't reveal himself just yet, the Wades and the Ackers had been in-laws for years. Even if they had had a dispute for the longest time, restoring good relations made sense now that the Ackers had come to Oskia, and it wouldn't arouse any suspicion.That was why Charlie agreed to it without hesitation, even making a mental note to invite his paternal grandfather, Jeremiah, to Aurous Hill.The old geezers could meet up and clear the air while deciding on the partnership.Yolden was prepared to resign as a professor as well so that he could help the Ackers and Charlie fully develop their automotive company.With a general direction planned, he asked everyone, "Since we're creating a new brand, has anyone come up with a name?"No one was feeling inspired at that moment, but that was when Lulu, who had been silent throughout, said, "Since Charlie and our family are worki

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
