The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4910
Merlin suddenly felt that this world was somewhat magical when he saw his son-in-law’s nervous and eager expression.He originally admired his son-in-law very much and always felt that this boy had an unyielding spirit, was not afraid of poverty, and would never lower his head or admit defeat. To put it bluntly, he felt that his son-in-law was very similar to himself, and he could even see a bit of himself in his son-in-law.It was precisely because of this that Merlin sincerely treated his son-in-law as his own son since he had no son of his own.But at this moment, his son-in-law’s behavior made him realize that as a detective who had seen countless people, his view of his son-in-law had been one-sided, wrong, and naïve. He used to think that his son-in-law was the kind of noble character who would not lust after wealth, but now, it seemed that he was already lustful from a somewhat high starting point, and this starting point was completely inaccessible both to him and his so

All of them would have to wait eighteen years, whether it was for a luxury mansion, a luxury car, or to live a luxurious high society life.If they took into account that there was still eight months to the baby’s expected due date, that would be equivalent to waiting for nineteen years.However, the ten million US dollars cheque that Kathleen had given to Merlin was different. This was not a conditional family trust, but it was a real cash cheque. As long as Merlin took this cheque to any bank in the United States, the cheque could be exchanged for ten million US dollars in cash directly. When Merlin heard them asking about the ten million US dollars, he could not help but say, “My original idea was to put the money into a trust, but the trust that I checked did not have an annualized return as high as eight percent. I calculated it at an annualized interest rate of 3.8%, and there would be almost twenty million US dollars in the trust after eighteen years. The interest can then

The next day, while Yahiko and Hiroshi were wearing masks as they jogged in Central Park, Rosalie and her parents bid farewell to Charlie with immense gratitude before they headed to the airport and took a flight back to Aurous Hill.Charlie stayed in New York for two more days. After spending some time with Nanako and the other Ito family members for two days, Nanako also said goodbye to Charlie reluctantly before her family set off and returned to Japan.After Nanako had left, Charlie gave Porter the order to take Clarissa, who had handed the contraband over to Elaine, back to New York.Clarissa’s real name was Clara Holt. In recent years, she had been working as Martha’s underling. Her main task was to pose as a businesswoman with the false identity of Clarissa Zinn and hand contraband goods that needed to be brought out of the country over to the mules chosen by Martha.Although this woman had never killed anyone with her own hands, she had aided the evildoers and harmed many i

At this time, Elaine looked at the female prison guard before slowly putting down the magazine in her hand as she said with some dissatisfaction, “Lucia, it’s not that I want to complain about you, but the magazines that you’ve been delivering to me these days are all too boring. The stories in the magazines are bad, vulgar, and not educational at all. Can’t you get me a few copies of ‘Soulmates’ instead?” “‘Soulmates’?” The female prison guard was a native Oskian-American, so she did not know what Soulmates was at all. So, she asked nervously, “Elaine, what is this ‘Soulmates’ you’re talking about?”Elaine said arrogantly, “Soulmates is a very deep and literary Oskian magazine. It has been my favorite literary publication for many years. If it weren’t for prejudice, the author of Soulmates would have already won the Nobel Prize for Literature! Imperialism is indeed taking over!”The female prison guard said embarrassedly, “Elaine, the Nobel Prize is not judged by Americans. It’s m

Elaine’s icy cold voice made Chloe and Jacelyn’s faces turned pale out of fear.Their lives had been comparable to hell over the past few days.The two of them were doomed to a terrible end considering what they had done to Elaine before, coupled with Elaine’s vengeful character.In the beginning, Elaine would beat and torture them, but now, she had gradually changed to humiliating and treating them as her slaves instead. Denying them food, finding all kinds of coolie jobs for them, and then watching them struggle like captives who had been imprisoned without being able to catch their breath was Elaine’s favorite thing to do. For example, when the weather was hot, Elaine liked to be barefoot in the cell, so the two of them would have to take turns wiping the floor at least five times a day. If the soles of her feet got dirty after walking in the cell for a day, the two of them would not be able to sleep that night. While the others were sleeping, they would have to kneel on the

As she was thinking about this happily, the Oskian female prison guard from earlier rushed to her dining table and said happily, “Elaine, Elaine! There’s good news, Elaine!”When Elaine saw her excited expression, her heart skipped a beat, and she could not help but blurt out, “What’s the good news? Why are you so excited?”The female prison guard hurriedly explained, “Elaine, your lawyer is here!”“My lawyer?!” Elaine’s expression instantly froze and she exclaimed, “Is it Jakel White? What is he doing here?!” The female prison guard said excitedly, “He’s here to meet with you. He said that he has some good news that he wants to convey to you in person.”Elaine was stunned and frowned as she said, “Could it be... Could it be that he has cleared me of suspicion?!” The female prison guard said without hesitation, “That should be it. Otherwise, how could it be good news?! Congratulations, Elaine! You will soon be cleared of all suspicion and regain your freedom!”Elaine’s express

Elaine’s words caused Jakel to be dumbfounded as he froze on the spot.He subconsciously asked, “Madam Elaine, what do you mean by a few days later?”Elaine said angrily, “What else can a few days later mean aside from its literal meaning?! Just tell them to hold off for a few days and not be so anxious!”Jakel was suddenly so embarrassed. He really could not understand why Elaine would make such a strange request. He was puzzled and could not help but ask, “Madam Elaine, I’m a little confused. Didn’t you want me to help get you out of here as soon as possible? Why don’t you want to go out now?”Elaine said seriously, “To tell you the truth, I’ve fallen in love with this place, and the people here are very friendly. I have made many friends here that I might not meet again. After all, I’m not American, and I will also be going back to Oskia soon.”In truth, Elaine did not have any real friends here at all, just some people from all over the world who wanted to flatter her.

In truth, Charlie did not want to let Elaine out of prison so soon either. After all, he really did not want to see Elaine every day.However, he also had to consider his wife, Claire’s feelings. He had left Providence for a few days, and during this period of time, his wife attended school alone, and she also had to worry about Elaine, who was in prison. Her days were also a little tormented.Although Charlie was certain that he could get Elaine out of prison at any time, in Claire’s opinion, she would still feel insecure even if he was certain of what he had said.After all, from Claire’s point of view, her mother had been framed this time, stirring up a big mess. If she was not careful and made the slightest mistake, she could be sentenced to life imprisonment, so Claire could not be completely at ease before her mother was released from prison.Charlie did not want Claire to continue worrying, so he planned to get Elaine out of prison tomorrow and then take her to Providence so

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
