The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 5550
Zachary dug out the three magical instruments that Charlie had given him from the smelly soil next to the latrine using a shovel in his hand. These three magical instruments had been buried together with the rotten and smelly pig offal for two days. There was a pungent smell as soon as the magical instruments were dug out.Zachary pinched his nose and picked out the three magical instruments from the soil, then carefully brushed the dirt around the magical instruments with a soft brush and wiped them carefully with a dry towel. He then held the magical instruments under his nose and smelled them vigorously.By this time, the fishy smell of blood had faded a lot. According to Zachary’s previous experience of selling antiques, this smell was very close to the smell of a new jade dug out from new tombs. Objects from new tombs, especially jade objects that were buried close to the body, would typically have a faint fishy odor for a period of time after they had been dug out from the

“That’s right. Zachary, isn’t it better for you to work for and follow Don Albert around to enjoy life instead of playing around with things in Antique Street?”A woman selling fake copper coins said with a smile, “Zachary, could it be that you made some mistakes and were kicked out by Don Albert?”Zachary waved his hand and said casually, “Don’t mention these things anymore. I plan to come back here to set up my stall again.”After saying that, he looked at the man who had greeted him first and said, “Landon Diggor, I lent you my original stall for free after I left back then. Since I’m back now, you should give that position back to me.”The man known as Landon waved his hand immediately and said, “No, no, I can’t do that. Zachary, when you left, you agreed that you would never come back to Antique Street, so you gave that stall to me. A real man should keep his word, so you shouldn’t go back on your word!”Zachary sneered and said, “Landon, you are not taking me very seriously,

Landon, who was aside, also hurriedly said, “Mr. Zachary, please take me with you as well! I have no other advantages aside from being obedient! I will definitely obey your orders and do whatever you ask me to as long as you’re willing to take me with you!”Other people also expressed their sincerity to Zachary. In their opinion, since Zachary was willing to give up his position as Don Albert’s confidant, this proved that he had definitely found a better way to make money. Zachary also mentioned that this new money-making path was related to antiques, so Zachary was not only good at it, but everyone was familiar with it as well. Therefore, everyone wanted to get a share of the pie with Zachary.Zachary said calmly at this time, “Everyone, I just came back to Antique Street and have not smoothed out the new business completely yet. I can’t use so many people at this initial stage, so I’ll just take Landon and Terry with me to get started first. You should not worry if your turn hasn’t

Although the terms of Zachary’s request were harsh, the two men agreed unanimously when they thought about the considerable income.Zachary was unambiguous and transferred thirty thousand dollars to each of them through QR pay directly as he said, “This money will be treated as my advance payment to both of you for ten days of your labor fees. If you dare to be lazy in these ten days, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”Landon patted his chest without hesitation and promised, “Don’t worry, Mr. Zachary. I will even wear adult diapers to keep an eye on the incoming people for you because you’re so straightforward! I would rather pee in my pants than even take half a step away from my post!”Terry also expressed his position immediately as he said, “Please rest assured, Mr. Zachary. I will never let you down even if I don’t eat or drink during the day!”“Okay.” Zachary nodded, then took out two jade rings from his pocket and handed them to the two men respectively as he said, “Wear th

He could not help but think to himself, ‘It seems that I can’t throw this antique business away. Half of my happiness comes from this place… I can come here and have some fun every now and then if I’m not so busy with work from Don Albert in the future.’Zachary was happily making plans in his mind when a familiar and delighted voice that carried a hint of surprise sounded, “Oh, Zachary, when did you come back to set up a stall again?”Zachary looked and said with a respectful expression, “Oh, Mr. Jacob! I haven’t seen you in a while!”The person who had spoken up was none other than Charlie’s father-in-law, Jacob. Although Jacob was now the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, his love for antiques remained the same as it was before. Some time ago, he was not in a very good mood after he fell out of love, so he had not come here for quite some time.He regained his composure a little over the past two days, and it happened to be the weekend, so he came u

Jacob said seriously, “Zachary, I don’t mean to sound harsh, but you should love whatever job you take up. If you’re engaging in antique business, you must have professional ethics.”Zachary nodded and said, “Isn’t it because I just want to make some money first? It won’t be too late for me to improve my professional ethics after I make some money. After all, isn’t there a saying that one should buy the ticket after boarding the bus?”Jacob curled his lips in disdain, looked at Zachary’s stall, shook his head, and said, “Oh, you’re really going backward the more you work. I can see that every item in your stall is all fake.”“Yes, you’re right.” Zachary said diligently, “Mr. Jacob, you really have a keen eye for goods. Good things cannot escape your eyes, and the same goes for fakes.”Jacob smiled, picked up the Thunderstrike wood in the middle of the stall, looked at it carefully, and said, “But this Thunderstrike wood doesn’t seem to be fake. How much does it cost? I’ll take it a

Although the Taoist and Buddhist abbot had the same title, they had very different functions. The Buddhist abbot was one with the highest position and power in the temple and was in charge of the temple’s affairs, whereas the Taoist abbot’s main responsibility was to preach scriptures. The Taoist abbot was like the senior professor in the Taoist temple, but the person with the highest management power was the overseer. Mr. Chardon, who was wearing a Taoist robe, looked up at the gate of Cohmer Temple for a moment, then entered the gate. The entire Cohmer Temple was divided into three courtyards, namely the front, middle, and the back. Only the front yard was open to believers and pilgrims. There were several halls here, especially the Trinity Hall, which was dedicated to the Three Supreme Gods of Taoism.The middle and the back yard were the internal areas of Cohmer Temple where the abbot and disciples lived and studied Taoism.Whether it was Charlie, Mr. Chardon, the mysterious
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 5557
Mr. Chardon followed the young Taoist priest to the reception hall in the middle yard of Cohmer Temple. This was the reception room in Cohmer Temple which was specially used to entertain abbots and overseers from other Taoist temples or pilgrims who had made great contributions to the Taoist temple. After asking Mr. Chardon to wait here, the young Taoist priest hurriedly ran to report this matter to his master. In Cohmer Temple, most of the people who stayed in the front yard for a long time were junior Taoist priests with relatively low qualifications, so they were tasked with maintaining order among tourists and believers in the yard while cleaning, maintaining temple statues, and sorting out tributes. Therefore, if the young Taoist priest wanted to report news to the overseer, the message had to be conveyed through layers, and the number of levels of transmission was more than the young Taoist priest had expected. Twenty minutes later, an old man in a Taoist robe who was sur

"That would be Ashley Layna Acker," Matilda replied without hesitation. "She was our age, as well as a major investor in Silicon Valley, while we were only starting to get our first clients. It's no exaggeration to say that she's the shining example in many case studies when it comes to business."Pausing, she then continued, "And she used to be your classmate, right? I remember you mentioning that in our conversations before.""Yes," Yolden sighed emotionally. "She was a classmate and the star of our generation."Matilda nodded but soon shook her head, "Wait, weren't we talking about Charlie's car company? What does that have to do with Ashley Acker?" "Here's where I let you in on a secret," Yolden said. "But first, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone except Paul."Matilda nodded without hesitation. "Don't worry—if it's a secret, I won't tell Paul either."Yolden scratched his head. "Actually, Paul should know. We are going to marry soon, and he's my stepson, lega

In fact, the legal department of major enterprises covered many responsibilities, the chief of which concerned intellectual property, which was why veterans were needed to lead.Additionally, Charlie trusted Matilda's accomplishments in the legal field, especially since she had worked in the United States for years.With Curtis Autos' intended expansion worldwide, that meant the legal department should also know the laws of countries abroad, ready to file or respond to lawsuits at any time. After all, competitors may use the law to impede their growth, along with the government applying unfair policies to impede their development and impact on local businesses.Moreover, Charlie considered Paul young and therefore lacking in experience, not to mention that it was not likely he would abandon his family's law firm. As such, the ideal solution was to poach Matilda for now.As for Matilda, she was still in the dark and had no idea what she was in for, asking Charlie in confusion, "Lega

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
