Chapter 6072

Author: Lord Leaf
A young man's voice echoed across the computer speaker, "Grandpa, that social media platform has progressed rapidly in the past year or so and has a large user base around the world. Although it is not yet listed, the current market value is estimated to be around 400 billion dollars."

"400 billion?! Are you sure?!" Harrison yelped in shock. "How can a platform like that have such a high value?"

The man nodded. "Short videos are trending now. That Oskian platform has taken the lead in the process, and it's hard for outdated technologies like ours to catch up with them. Now, short videos have become the gateway for all walks of life. Everyone who does business is trying to get traffic through these platforms and realize monetization. They are powerful in e-commerce, virtual services, and value-added services. In fact, 400 billion is just a conservative estimate. If they are given a little more time, they may even surpass Facebook."

"Damn it!" Harrison cursed in irritation. "How co

I would like more chapter a week, however I am not a writer so I do not know what it takes to write it. Charlie Wade is so multi faceted that the waiting is killer. Now that I have caught up to the writer sometimes I think I should have waited until the book is finished.

sorry but I'm going to have to say for two days in a row I have received three chapters instead of 1 or 2. I don't believe I'm getting much more information then 1. I liked the story when the company still gave a crap about the customers.

    Bruce was not that bold before. However, Charlie's psychological manipulation was indeed strong. More importantly, Bruce loathed the Rothschild family very much. The reason why he was able to suppress his hatred and frustration before was entirely because of his fear of the family. But now, the fear is gone. Hence, he couldn't care less even though Harrison had called him personally. On the other end of the line, Harrison was bewildered by Bruce's boldness, but he didn't want to provoke Bruce further, so he suppressed his rage and comforted the latter patiently, "Bruce, I know that you have been greatly betrayed and insulted. No one can accept this kind of thing in stride." Harrison pursed his lips and continued, "But we are adults, and we can resolve our problems in a business-like manner. Besides, there is room for negotiation as long as the price is right. Give me a number, a price that you think you'll be happy with, and forgive everyone and everything." "Do you thin

    "Is 100 million not enough? That's fine, we can discuss the price." Harrison hastily suggested, "How about 500 million?" "500 million?" Bruce chuckled contemptuously. "Oh, Harrison. You're so old now that you might die anytime soon. How about you keep the money for your funeral!" With that, Bruce immediately slammed the handset shut and unplugged the phone. Then, he realized that his cell phone had been in recording mode, meaning the whole conversation had been recorded. He grinned triumphantly, and another revenge plan hatched in his mind. - On the other hand, Harrison was like a volcano on the verge of eruption, ready to explode at any moment. Stomping his feet agitatedly, he huffed under his breath, "Damn it! Bastard! Since when did that loser start to value dignity?!" Julien recounted, "The takeover team is about to arrive, and Bruce has refused our offer. What are we going to do with Biden?" Harrison sighed dejectedly. "I wanted to bribe Bruce and let him make Bide

    Harrison's eyes widened in shock. He quickly unlocked his phone and checked the short video platform. He clicked on Bruce's third video and saw Bruce looking into the camera with a firm expression on his face, saying, "I know that once I upload the videos, the Rothschild family will do whatever they can to do crisis PR. They will definitely use their wealth and power to influence those seemingly fair social media platforms." "So, don't be surprised if those big websites delete my videos and any content related to me. This is the family's real power." "They can silence any American media on this matter, so the only people I can rely on now are you, my fellow netizens. Please share my videos and don't let my voice disappear on the internet!" Just as he said this, in the video, the phone on Bruce's desk suddenly rang. He answered it, and Harrison's voice was heard. Then, Harrison made a series of statements to Bruce on the phone to make peace. Bruce uploaded the whole conversa

    Harrison's grandson added, "The phenomena on social media platforms is even worse. Almost all platforms are discussing our affairs. We are in a bad state now..." Donning a gloomy face, Harrison was so furious he wanted to bite Bruce's head off. He regretted his decision to call Bruce to make peace. If he hadn't made that call, he would have still remained in the dark. In that case, he could still make Malcolm take the blame alone, whether it was legal responsibility or public wrath. However, this plan was completely ruined after the release of the third video. At this moment, Julien said, "The think tank has come up with the best solution. The person in charge is waiting online. Do you want to talk to him?" The Rothschild family had its own think tank which consisted of a large group of intellectuals. Whenever a major event occurred, the think tank would analyze and simulate the direction of the event from the most objective perspective and at the same time, give their

    Late that night, a video suddenly made the headlines of all media except the short video platforms. The title of the video was "Sincere Apology from Harrison, the Current Patriarch of the Rothschild Family". In the video, Harrison looked haggard, with a very decadent and sickly look, which made people feel that he was dying. The deliberate appearance was one of the think tank's ideas. They believed that acting old and pitiful could garner sympathy from the public and subconsciously reduce their hatred and guilt for Harrison. For example, compared to a healthy youth, if an old man with a terminal illness was caught pickpocketing, society would be more tolerant even though the cause and nature of theft were no different. Although Harrison's reputation would be tarnished by an old and pitiful makeover, it would definitely reduce the public's hostility toward the Rothschild family. The think tank's judgment was indeed correct. When Harrison appeared in front of the camera, tum

    "Also, I would like to ask the police to investigate me. If my conduct is suspected of violating American laws, I am willing to accept all legal responsibility." "Finally, on behalf of my entire family, I would like to express my sincere apologies to Mr. Bruce Weinstein and Mr. Biden Cole. We will continue to be in contact with them and do our best to make up for the damage Malcolm has done to them." After his speech, Harrison stood up and bowed deeply to the camera with some difficulty. As expected, his apology statement managed to restore some of the Rothschild family's reputation. Coupled with their control over most of the American news media and with the deliberate media framing and hype, the Rothschild family's image saw a significant improvement. Many people accepted Harrison's statement and felt that Bruce's exposure was Malcolm's doing and had nothing to do with the family. As for Harrison's attempt to bribe Bruce, the public portrayed it as a matter of course for a pa

    Charlie nodded with a smile. "Go to the toilet now with your phone and record a video. Tell us how you made a deal with the Rothschild family, why you were imprisoned here, and how the family used your family's power in Mexico to achieve their goals." "What?!" Gustavo blurted in shock. "They will kill me if I do so!" Charlie smiled reassuringly. "Let me finish." Gustavo quickly shut his mouth and nodded vigorously. Charlie cleared his throat and continued, "Look. Moses almost killed you yesterday. In the video, you can ask your son for help. Tell him that you nearly died in prison and that someone framed him for the murder attempt, but you didn't believe him at all." "Then, you tell them what you think about this. You say that you feel the Rothschild family wants to kill you because you are no longer useful and know too many of their dark secrets. They not only want to kill you but are also trying to frame your son." "You need to both denounce the Rothschild family for thei

    To Charlie, Gustavo had lost his value after he had successfully approached Bruce. A Mexican drug lord who had lost his power and was imprisoned by the Americans on top of having a son who wanted to be killed had no practical value. He would be useless unless Charlie got him out of jail and brought him back to Mexico to help him regain control of the Sanchez family, but that was even less cost-effective for Charlie. Firstly, Gustavo was a notorious drug dealer whom Charlie did not want to get involved with, especially in terms of interests. Secondly, Gustavo had been extradited from Mexico by the U.S. government at a great expense. It was a great achievement of the government in eradicating drugs. They had to make sure that Gustavo stayed in prison for the sake of their reputation. Once he escaped from prison, it would be a great shame to the US justice system. At that time, the US government would be even more desperate to catch him. Hence, even if Gustavo returned to Mexico

    Jacob certainly left Charlie speechless—the man might get kicked out of the house, but he was more worried about his car.Sighing in exasperation, he told Jacob, "Look, if it fails, I won't be able to get you a nice place, let alone leave the Cullinan with you."Jacob blurted out, "But why—""Don't forget—I'm still living in this house even if you're gone!" Charlie explained, his expression dead serious. "If I let you have a nice place and the Cullinan, God knows how terrible a grudge your wife would hold against me. I need to have a sense of self-preservation too!""If I got you a rundown apartment, I could at least defend myself even if she gets upset about that. I mean, I can't let you sleep in the streets, can I? Claire and I would be guilty of abandoning our elders."Seeing the serious look on Charlie's face, Jacob breathed a long sigh as he clapped him on the shoulder, groaning mournfully, "Oh, I get it. I wouldn't want to upset Elaine if I were in your shoes too…"Charlie

    Charlie sighed. "I told you it'd blow up, Dad, but you had to doubt me.""I wasn't doubting you," Jacob promptly defended himself. "I thought I might catch a lucky break—"Charlie cut him short, "Fair enough. Then, how are you going to handle this? I can try to stop Mom from going to that wedding and prevent her from getting in the hall even if she went, but what's going to happen to the both of you? Do you want a divorce or do you want to stay with her?"The light in Jacob's faded as he shrugged and sighed. "If I could divorce her, I would've—and I would be living happily with Matilda now. What company would I have if I did it now? Do you think Elaine would let me stay in Thompson First, with that attitude of hers?""In the end, I'd be chased out without a place to stay, and I can't suffer the humiliation of moving back with my mom and brother, can I? Hell, they might not even take me back!""So, that's a no?" Charlie pressed.Jacob smiled wryly. "At my age, even if I could, I w

    Hearing that Elaine was threatening suicide, Claire exclaimed urgently, "Take me to her now!"The traffic police officer quickly nodded. "Come on!"As the traffic police officer quickly led Claire to Elaine, Charlie arrived just then and gave chase after leaving the luggage by the entrance.Stopping them, he asked, "Excuse me, officer—where's the gentleman who came with Madam Parker? May I see him?""And who are you?" The traffic police officer asked."I'm his son-in-law," Charlier replied. "I was thinking that while my wife talks to her mom, I can talk to my father-in-law, make peace, and take them both home.""Oh, that'd be great!"The traffic police officer exclaimed and quickly beckoned at a colleague, "Come over. Take this gentleman to Jacob Wilson!""Okay!" The other traffic police officer was also quite enthusiastic.Charlie entered the room where Jacob was first, immediately seeing a disfigured Jacob taking deep puffs of his cigarette.Another traffic police officer w

    Charlie frowned in thought for a while, before saying, "Well, there is a plan, but I can't vouch for the chances. I also need you to cooperate with me and not let anything slip, or everything will go to waste. Can you do that?""I can!" Claire nodded, determined, before quickly asking, "So? What's the plan?""Well, it's not specific," Charlie replied. "We just have to improvise as we go along. Let's just head in for now!"-They left the airport and took a cab to the traffic police's headquarters. Just as she entered, they saw their Cullinan parked outside.Charlie sent Claire in first while he carried her luggage before following.Meanwhile, Elaine was wailing in her room, "I've been married to him for years! Suffering so much pain and humiliation, only for him to hook up with an old flame behind my back! Is it wrong if I struck out?"The traffic police officer was on the verge of a breakdown, but he still said patiently, "Ma'am, I've told you many times—what he did was wrong

    Claire wasn't all that experienced in love and hence didn't know how a person caught in a love triangle would think or why they would experience such terrible mood swings.Still, Charlie's explanation gave her a general idea, and she sighed, "Actually, Dad looked really bad when Matilda came back. He was so obsessed with her that he didn't care if Mom was alive—even bringing her home for dinner. I'd be seething if I was Mom."Charlie sighed in exasperation. "Well, let's not loiter about. Let's go to the traffic police station.""Yeah!" Claire nodded, before holding his arm, "If they're there, that means they're safe, and they won't be fighting with those officers around. So, let's not head over so quickly."Charlie raised a brow. "What are you getting at?"Claire sighed, clearly troubled. "We have to think—how are we going to alleviate this crisis? If it's really as you say and Mom has mostly guessed it right, this fight might just be the start. At best, that fight on the highway

    The traffic police officer smiled in exasperation. "Is there no getting through to you? You could even afford to drive a nice car, and you'd most likely survive an accident. But what if you were left bedridden for a long time? Yell at each other in the same hospital room?"Elaine waved him off. "I don't care—all I know is that I will always get my revenge, and on the spot if possible. If there were superheroes, I would be Wonder Woman!""Urgh…" The traffic police officer was utterly speechless. "How about this? We will call your daughter and have her come over to bail you. She will mediate your fight!"With those words, he returned Elaine's phone to her, and it happened to ring just then.It was a call from Claire.Seeing that the contact name said [Daughter], the traffic police officer quickly said, "Go on, answer it!"Elaine took it and answered the call, and Claire asked urgently before she could say a word, "Mom? Where are you? Where's Dad? Are you both alright?"Elaine sulk

    While Charlie was waiting for Claire at the airport, Jacob and Elaine were taken to the traffic police station.But even in the patrol car, Elaine did not stop lashing out at Jacob.As such, the traffic police had no choice but to call up another patrol car to bring them over separately.Charlie was hence left wondering what those two were up to this time as they were nowhere to be seen when Claire's flight was about to land and weren't answering his texts.Fortunately, Charlie never considered them reliable, so he was fine whether they showed up or not.If they did, they could all head home in the same car.If they didn't, he just had to take a cab home with Claire.It was past three when Claire's private jet landed, and Claire herself cleared the checkpoint in just half an hour, wheeling a trolley with her luggage.Seeing Charlie from afar, she couldn't help quickening her pace as she beamed.Charlie hurried toward her as well, and Claire shoved her trolley aside when they w

    However, to Jacob's shock, Elaine wasn't misled at all as she growled icily, "Why would I ask anyone else?! If there's someone I must question, it's Matilda! She's getting married, isn't she? Good! I will be there and ask her why she hooked up with my husband!"Jacob turned pale right then.Matilda's son and even some of their old classmates would be attending her wedding.If Elaine went, he would be exposed, and he wouldn't be able to stay in Aurous Hill out of shame!His nerves gnawing at him, Jacob could only plead, "Please, just trust me this once! Anything else aside, she's getting married, anyway—there's no way that I'd have anything to do with her! That alone should prove my innocence!"Elaine snorted. "If Matilda returned when I was arrested, it means she has been back for a while! And you're saying nothing happened since? Hell, even if she's married, it doesn't prove that she wasn't up to some hanky-panky with you! Maybe while I was arrested and refused a divorce when you

    The driver was left dumbstruck—this wasn't how it was supposed to go.Still, he blurted, "C-Crashing into a Cullinan? I might end up dead instead…""Fine! Then let's change cars, and you crash into ours—how about that?!" Elaine promptly retorted before continuing, "Or we could just stand right in front of your car while you run into us! I just happen to have a death wish, but if you don't kill me now, I'll kill you! Don't think about getting away either—I know your car plate! I'll sell this car and use the money to put a bounty on your head! I don't care what happens to me now! I'll claw my nails into the devil's face even if he shows up!"The driver was actually quite experienced, but even he had yet to meet someone as ridiculous as Elaine.Barely able to keep his hands steady, he threw them up as he apologized, "I'm so sorry, ma'am—I just lost my cool. I'm merely a humble driver of a Honda Civic while you own a Rolls. Hell, I spent fifty bucks buying that red emblem from Amazon,
