There were almost no resources that Charlie could not regulate in Aurous Hill.The hotel, wedding dress, and convoy were the three most important elements of a wedding, and Charlie could provide Sheldon and Yashita with the best in Aurous Hill.It was also with Charlie’s support that Sheldon and Yashita could feel at ease to set their wedding date on August 8th. Sheldon knelt on the ground to express his gratitude, but Charlie stopped him and said, “You can start drawing up the guest list for the wedding now. Theoretically speaking, I won’t interfere with anyone you want to invite, but the premise is that the people you invite must basically be controllable.”With that said, Charlie looked at Yashita and said frankly, “After all, Madam Yashita’s severed limb has been regenerated. Once this kind of thing is exposed to the public, I’m afraid that will set off a shocking wave in the medical world. The inexplicable self-healing of advanced cancer is rare in the history of medicine, bu
“Oh, Nanako-chan...” When Charlie heard this, he did not think much about it and replied directly, “Since she said so, it’s up to you to decide whether you’d like to invite her or not.”Rosalie nodded lightly and spoke up, “I’ll give her a call later, then.”Although Rosalie knew that the reason why Nanako wanted to come to her parents’ wedding was most likely because she wanted to take this opportunity to meet Charlie, she also knew very well that Charlie’s affection for Nanako was far more than his affection for her. She could not and should not deliberately avoid this matter just because the two would meet. Since Charlie had no opinion about this matter, she would invite Nanako and her father, Yahiko, to come to Aurous Hill to attend her parents’ wedding. ***At this moment, in Kyoto, Japan. When Yahiko returned from the United States, he did not choose to go to Tokyo but went directly to the Ito family’s mansion in Kyoto. This house had a very special significance to h
After hearing Nanako’s words, Yahiko stopped what he was doing and leaned on his sword as he panted and asked, “Nanako, what did you say? We may have to go to Oskia?”“Yes!” Nanako smiled and said, “Wait a moment, I’ll answer a call first.”Yahiko was even more surprised. He thought Nanako had received a call from someone, which was why she had said that they might have to go to Oskia, but he did not expect that she had not even answered the call yet.Nanako answered the call, and Rosalie, who was on the other end of the line, asked, “Miss Ito, am I bothering you by calling so suddenly?”“No.” Nanako said with a smile, “I’m not doing anything much, just playing around with some flower arrangements. Miss Rosalie, why are you calling me?” Rosalie got straight to the point and said, “It’s about my parents’ wedding.”Nanako asked in surprise, “Are your parents finally getting married?”“Yes.” Rosalie said truthfully, “Mr. Wade just came, and my parents’ wedding date has been set fo
Nanako said happily, “It’s a deal, then!”Yahiko asked, “Since we will be staying longer, should we buy a mansion in Aurous Hill? I’m afraid it will be too boring if we stay in the hotel for a long time.”Nanako asked him with wide-opened eyes, “Is that possible, Otou-san? Can we buy a mansion in Aurous Hill?”Yahiko shook his head helplessly and said, “You’re the head of the Ito family, so you have the final say on how money is spent, right?”“That’s great!” Nanako said to Hiroshi, “Tanaka-san, if you’re free tomorrow, why don’t you leave for Aurous Hill early in the morning to find a suitable mansion first, then?!”Hiroshi said without hesitation, “No problem, Miss. I will leave early in the morning tomorrow.”Having said that, he asked again, “By the way, Miss, do you have any requirements for the mansion?”Nanako thought for a while and said, “Bigger, quieter, and it doesn’t matter if it’s remote. It will certainly be impossible to find a Japanese-style mansion in Aurous Hil
When Charlie returned to the villa at Thompson First, Claire was still cleaning up the house with several cleaning staff.The cleaning company even used professional odor-purifying equipment to clean the entire first floor thoroughly because the smell of tobacco, alcohol, moldy food, and vomit on the first floor was really too strong.Jacob, who was one of the sources of the stench, had been invited to the courtyard by Claire at this time.After Jacob had been enlightened by Charlie, he did not drink too much alcohol all day, but he was still a little disheveled. He was wearing a pair of boxers and a basketball vest as he smoked a cigarette and sighed as he sat in the courtyard. Only then did Charlie realize that his old father-in-law’s body had become puffier, especially when he was sitting there. His belly was piled into a large lump, and coupled with his scruffy beard, he suddenly looked much filthier.Jacob’s eyes suddenly lit up when he saw that Charlie was back. He quickly
Hannah nodded and snapped her fingers in a chic manner. “I’m going first, bye.”After saying that, she stepped on the accelerator and drove the car away. Elaine walked home with Jacob’s support as she cursed, “Damn Hannah, she managed to show off in front of me today. I think she doesn’t even remember who she is anymore! Damn! God must really be blind to let this kind of woman make money!” Jacob said casually, “Since you can’t accept it, just stay away from her in the future and don’t pay attention to her anymore. Just don’t give her the chance to show off in front of you, then.”“What do you know?!” Elaine said very seriously, “When I was rich, Hannah also hated me very much, but she always followed me and flattered me. Do you know why?”Jacob nodded. “Yes. Because it’d be a waste for her not to take advantage of you. Although the two of you are not born from the same mother, your temper and personality are the same. The both of you would definitely go even if your enemies invi
As Charlie, Claire, and Jacob were eating in the dining room, Elaine hid in her room and quietly opened the short video platform.In this era where everyone could be an anchor, even a dog could start a live broadcast online. The only difference was whether there would be an audience or not.Elaine fumbled to create her own live broadcast room and then entered the words ‘Elaine’s live broadcast’ in the column for the name of the live broadcast room.After that, she completed the creation of her live broadcast room and started the first online live broadcast of her life.As soon as the live broadcast started, Elaine began looking for ways to add the shopping cart because she had watched Hannah’s live broadcast and knew that the most important thing in a live broadcast was to sell goods. Therefore, one must have a shopping cart in order to sell goods. Consumers would only be able to place the order after the product link was posted.However, Elaine could not find the shopping cart op
After the order was created, Elaine immediately returned to her live broadcast room and waited for users to come.As long as the money was spent, the effect was really there immediately. Soon, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room changed from zero to one.At this moment, Elaine was very excited and hurriedly said, “Oh, welcome to my live broadcast room!”The other party dropped a comment. “Pfft.”After that, he left the live broadcast room immediately. When Elaine saw her first viewer leaving after leaving a word, she cursed angrily, “What do you mean by ‘Pfft’? You really do not know any better, do you?!”As soon as she was done speaking, another viewer came in. Elaine quickly put her angry expression away and said with a smile, “Welcome, new...”The number of viewers in the live broadcast room returned to zero after she had spoken two words. Immediately afterward, a series of people came in. They all retreated immediately, as soon as they came in. At least, th
The wealth of the Rothschild family had long been beyond the estimation or calculation of outsiders. Over the years, they had made both visible and hidden investments in countless fields. All offshore companies registered in the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands, as long as they remained unlisted, were not required to disclose shareholder information. Among them were numerous companies in which the Rothschild family held shares or even controls. The true value of these holdings was impossible to verify. Even for listed companies, shareholder information was only disclosed in the primary market. The secondary market was bought and held through various channels that were impossible to count. In addition, the Rothschild family had investments in real estate, energy, mining, transportation, and other areas around the world. It could be said that any industry that was at the forefront of the trend could make enormous wealth. In colonial times, Britain was known as the em
Since both Harrison and Helena had reached an agreement, Helena took out a pen and amended the details of the contract. The whole process was recorded, and coupled with Helena's identity as the Nordic Queen and the high traffic on the internet, she was not at all worried that Harrison would go back on his word. After the two sides agreed on the terms of the contract, Harrison wrote his name on the contract, and then the two sides exchanged agreements, and the contract was officially in effect. After everything was settled, Helena put the contract away, turned off the video recording on her phone, and beamed, "It's been a pleasure working together, Mr. Rothschild!" Harrison hastily asked, "Y-Your Majesty, can you please give me the pill now?" "Of course." Helena handed him the pill swiftly and said, "Even though my family doesn't have a lot of money, we always attach great importance to the spirit of the contract." Harrison stretched out his trembling hand and took the pill.
Helena said, "Mr. Harrison, your family is involved in almost all of the institutions that are major shareholders of Nvidia, and you also hold a lot of floating shares in the secondary market. You got these shares very early, and the chips were very low. As Nvidia's stock price has gone up to over 1 trillion, you have made a lot of money." Harrison had just breathed a sigh of relief when he received a concession of 10 billion, so when Helena started to talk about his past, he quickly explained, "Business is business... Whatever we earn from Nvidia shouldn't be mixed with this matter, w-w-wouldn't you agree, Your Majesty?" "Agreed." Helena nodded. "However, since I'm granting you a hundred billion in hardware costs, this absolutely ties back to Nvidia. You'll ultimately need to procure the AI model hardware through them, and as a shareholder, any bulk orders from Nvidia will effectively be you moving money from one hand to the other." "First, even if the listed cost is a hundred b
Helena was not afflicted by Harrison's annoyance. She said lightly, "Calm down, Mr. Harrison. I haven't finished." After a short pause, she continued, "I want your model for my own use, not for any commercial use, which means it will have no impact on your original market. I just want a completely identical replica for my own use. For you, it's nothing more than giving me a copy, a set of hardware, and twenty years of maintenance fee. That shouldn't cost much, right?" "H-How can I be sure that y-you won't use it for commercial purposes?" Helena smiled and said, "That's the specific detail I'll talk about next. You will still pay me 100 billion dollars, but I will sign a contract with you stating that 50 billion dollars of that will be returned to you at the rate of 2.5 billion dollars per year for the next 20 years. "If you stop upgrading and maintaining the model, I will stop the subsequent return of the money." "If I use your AI model for commercial purposes, you can immedi
Helena added, "In fact, Mr. Rothschild, if you were willing to sacrifice yourself for the family's sake, you could save this money and allow it to contribute to the future development of the family. Who knows—perhaps your descendants would even build a monument in your honor." Feeling a sharp pain in his abdomen, Harrison covered his stomach and waved her off. "Alright, t-that's enough. Since it's a deal, y-you name your price, a-and I can negotiate, so let me give you... a one-and-done price." With that, he held up five fingers, resolutely declaring, "50 billion dollars! Not a penny more! Any more, and even if I regain my health, I'll feel miserable. Just thinking about spending hundreds of billions on a single pill might ruin my happiness in old age." The thought of spending hundreds of billions of dollars on a single pill genuinely pained Harrison. Some people, even without money, still acted generous. But some, when they had wealth, became increasingly stingy. Some believ
Harrison initially thought that 100 million dollars was already an astronomical figure and that offering this amount would sufficiently demonstrate his sincerity. However, he never expected that Helena, upon hearing this offer, couldn't even be bothered to negotiate and would turn to leave. He had just felt the tangible effects of the medicine. If one-tenth had such an impact, taking a whole pill would undoubtedly restore him to his former self. He couldn't afford to miss this rare opportunity. So, he quickly called out, "Your Majesty! Whatever the matter is, we can discuss it, b-but why are you leaving?" Helena explained lightly, "I have never liked to negotiate partnerships with ignorant people. If you believe your health is worth only 100 million dollars, then, frankly, what is there left for me to discuss with you? Although I may not have as much money as you, in my view, my health is certainly worth more than that amount." Harrison was rendered speechless. He hadn't ex
Helena didn't give Harrison a chance to resist. She pinched his cheeks on both sides, forcing his mouth to open. Then, she poured the water containing the dissolved Healing Pill directly into his mouth. Harrison was so scared that the blood drained from his face. He wanted to kick and struggle, but he was trembling profusely and couldn't do anything. The thought of Helena trying to poison him gave him a chill to the marrow. He wanted to spit out the water, but Helena didn't give him a chance. While the water was still in his mouth, she threw the glass aside with her other hand, grabbed his chin, and lifted it up, snarling, "Drink it!" The moment Harrison's chin was lifted, his esophagus directly opened. The water, which was not much, went straight down his esophagus into his stomach, and he literally drank it. Harrison's eyes were full of fear at this moment. He thought that he might not even have time to say goodbye before he died. The next second, when he felt a different k
Harrison scoffed when he heard Helena's suggestion. He snapped angrily, "I-I-I have the best medical team in the world, and t-they don't even dare say such a thing. W-Who do you think you are?!" Helena smirked and replied, "Your team can't cure you, but I can." With that, she took out the Healing Pill that Charlie had given her from her purse and said to Harrison, "This pill comes from the ancient and mysterious East. Once you take it, you'll be restored to your former self. To alleviate your concerns, I can let you take one-tenth of it for free before we discuss terms so that you can truly feel its effectiveness. After that, we can discuss the pricing." Harrison, without any hesitation, disdainfully replied, "I-I would never b-b-believe in such a r-ridiculous pill! T-T-This b-bullshit has no scientific ba-a-asis at all!" Helena sneered contemptuously, "If you believe in science so much, why are you afraid of the Qing Eliminating Society? Can they possibly be a match for your
Helena pursed her lips, looked at Harrison, and then looked at Julien, pretending to be hesitant to speak. Despite his paralyzed body, Harrison was still as sly and smart as ever, so he looked at Julien and said, "Julien, clear the room. I want to talk to Her Majesty alone." Knowing that Harrison was trying to give him a boost, Julien immediately said, "Okay, Dad!" After that, he quickly asked the doctor to leave. Before leaving, he turned and said to Harrison, "Dad, you have all the time in the world. Please have a nice chat with Her Majesty. I'll ask everyone to keep a distance of 20 meters from the room. Please rest assured." Harrison nodded in satisfaction and flicked in the air at him twice, motioning for him to leave. Julien gleefully closed the door and promptly urged everyone to stay 20 meters away from the room, including himself. Seeing that the room was clear, Helena cut to the chase. As she looked at Harrison on the bed, she stated, "Mr. Harrison, the main reaso
