“Acquire a company?”Hugo was taken aback by Charlie’s words and spoke up, “Mr. Wade, it would cost at least one billion US dollars if you want to acquire a communication company with a sufficient foundation. Wouldn’t the investment be too high? I’m afraid that it’d be difficult to achieve profitability...”Charlie shook his head and said, “Profit is not the most important thing. How we can solve our immediate needs is the most important thing.”With that said, Charlie said again, “Our biggest pain at present is that we are short of time. Not to mention a year or a month, but even if it is a day or an hour, we have to try our best to fight for it. Time is far more important than money.”Charlie paused for a moment and continued, “If you want to develop at a speed beyond ordinary people, it’s necessary to change the mode of thinking that only solves the immediate needs. It is basically difficult to achieve great things if you’re stuck on how to solve the problem of recruiting people
Hugo hurriedly said, “It’s an old communication company in the United States.”Charlie asked again, “What is the current market value of the company?”Hugo thought for a moment and said, “The company was very prosperous a few years ago, and its market value exceeded ten billion dollars when it was at its peak. However, as the bubble continued to burst and its performance continued to decline, the market value should only be more than a billion US dollars when I was fired.”Charlie nodded and asked him, “How is the foundation of this company?”Hugo said, “The technical foundation of its hardware and software technology is very good, but the reason why it went downhill over the years was mainly because the market direction has not been found correctly. The person in charge made the wrong judgment in the direction of the development of communications in the market and gradually killed his own to-C side of the business. He turned to rely on his old capital to provide hardware equipment
A few hours later, Charlie and Hugo returned to the United States together. The plane landed in Providence first, and after Charlie had gotten off the plane, it took off again immediately, carrying Hugo, Albert, and Isaac to Silicon Valley.The reason why Albert and Isaac were accompanying Hugo was mainly to protect Hugo’s personal safety. After all, the purpose of his visit was to discuss a billion-dollar business deal. Moreover, it was not known whether Martha had any other unknown accomplices in the United States. Charlie felt relatively relieved with Albert and Isaac accompanying Hugo. Charlie got off the plane alone and then drove back to the hotel where he was staying with Claire.Over the next few days, he asked Kathleen to help deliver a batch of medicinal materials to him. He then refined a new batch of Healing Pills while Claire was attending classes during the day.After that, he mixed one Cultivating Pill and two Rejuvenating Pills into it and added in a large number
“Okay.” Charlie nodded slightly and asked again, “Is the speedboat prepared for me ready?”“Yes, it’s ready.” Porter said, “A speedboat equipped with six Mercury outboard engines with a maximum speed of one hundred and twenty kilometers per hour has been prepared according to your request.”Charlie said immediately, “Take me there now!”Porter then drove Charlie to a deserted coastline.At this time, a large modified pickup truck was parked on the beach. The rear of the pickup truck was facing the direction of the sea, and a six to seven-meter-long object wrapped in black tarpaulin was attached to its back. Porter lifted the tarpaulin, and a streamlined speedboat came into view. Porter asked Charlie immediately, “Mr. Wade, do you want me to go with you?”Charlie waved his hand. “I can go by myself. You can take the helicopter to board the ship to meet the others later and wait for my instructions on the ship.”Porter nodded, took a backpack out from the cabin, and said to Cha
At this moment, this cargo ship with less than 10,000 tons was sailing at full speed on the sea.The noise and ups and downs of the ship sailing made them completely unaware that a black shadow was rushing toward them quickly above the sea on their left side.This black shadow was Charlie.The Reiki beneath his feet made it feel as if he was stepping on two invisible air cushions, and the soles of his feet were always about ten centimeters away from the surface of the water. Every time Charlie stepped on the waves, there would be a splash of water under his feet. It would not only be very eye-catching if this had happened during the day, but others might also be extremely shocked when they saw this.However, the surface of the sea was pitch black at this moment. Charlie was also dressed in black, so he was completely like a ghost. Even his enemies with a keen sense of smell did not notice anything unusual.As the distance of the sea got closer, Charlie could even see a few sentr
Charlie skipped these few empty rooms. By the time he came to the door of the innermost room, the two people inside were already done. At this time, he could hear rustling inside as the two people got dressed. A man then smiled and said, “Wait for me, I will go to the cockpit to take a look.”The other person did not speak, but there was the sound of the two people kissing. There was then the sound of footsteps approaching the door from far to near. Charlie held the Soul Blade in the palm of his right hand and waited. The moment the door opened inward, he saw a middle-aged man coming out the door. Charlie rushed in at an extremely fast speed before the other party could react, strangled the opponent’s neck with his left hand, then closed the door with his foot.The opponent’s strength was already at the Great Perfection Realm of the Illuminating Realm. When he saw Charlie’s instant attack to kill, he subconsciously wanted to attack with both hands.However, before he could react
Charlie laughed and said, “A Dark Realm expert is not much of an expert in my eyes.”As he spoke, Charlie used his Reiki to search the old man’s elixir field and then frowned as he said, “You’re a Dark Realm expert, but there’s still poison in your body.” The old man was dumbfounded and asked him, “How... How could you tell?!”Charlie frowned tighter and said coldly, “Not only can I see that you have severe poison in your body, but I can also tell that the severe poison in your body is not the same as those in the bodies of the dead soldiers and members of the Armed Calvary Guards. It seems that the severe poison in your body is a bit more virulent.”After saying that, Charlie stared at him and said sternly, “I’ll give you a chance to tell me the truth. I will use my own method if you can’t grasp that.”The old man calmed down slightly for a few moments, looked at Charlie, and asked, “If I’m not mistaken, you should be the one who killed all our Armed Calvary Guards in Bergen, ri
After putting the old man under his psychological hints, Charlie went straight to the point and asked, “What is your name and status in the organization?”The old man replied with a humble demeanor, “My name is Lucian Daubray, and I serve as a special envoy in the Right Military Governor Office.”“Right Military Governor Office?” Charlie frowned and asked him, “What kind of institution is this Right Military Governor Office?”Lucian replied respectfully, “The British Lord followed the system from ancient times and established five military capitals, namely, the Central Military Governor Office, the Left Military Governor Office, the Right Military Governor Office, the Front Military Governor Office, and the Rear Military Governor Office which have been developed over centuries. Each of the current governor’s offices is responsible for organizing specific affairs in a continent. According to tradition, Asia is central, Europe is at the right, the United States is at the left, Oceania
