Actually, Charlie knew very well in his heart that Jasmine definitely had some feelings for him.However, he did not know how to deal with this kind of affection. Therefore, he decided to simply pretend that nothing was going on so that he could just deal with this matter in the future.***Donald woke up early the next day.He was unable to sleep well all night because he was very worried and concerned about looking for Anthony to treat his second son, Kian.Kian’s current situation was still relatively pessimistic. His condition of having to eat shit had not been alleviated at all, and Kian’s current emotion and mental health were also gradually starting to collapse.Who wouldn’t feel that way? He had to eat shit more than twenty times a day, and it was only inevitable for him to feel as though he was on the verge of collapse.Furthermore, Kian himself had grown up as a spoiled and pampered child. The thought of having to do this kind of thing for the rest of his life was even
As soon as they heard his order, a few bodyguards quickly rushed forward before they grabbed the man and started punching and kicking him.An old lady in her seventies who was standing next to the man started crying and shouting when she saw those men beating her son up. “I beg you, please stop beating him up already. We will just leave, we will leave now, okay?!”The leader of the bodyguards said, “What the hell? You should have just done so from the very beginning!”Then, the leader kicked the middle-aged man aside as he took out one thousand dollars and threw it on the man’s face before he cursed, “Get out of here now!”The old lady continued crying as she used all of her strength and effort to help her son to stand. The people who were gathered outside the Serene World Clinic were all very angry when they witnessed this scene. However, since they saw that the other party was already driving so many luxury cars with so many bodyguards with them, they knew that they could not aff
After all, Anthony was not any ordinary person.He was a genius doctor who was very famous and reputable throughout the entire country. Moreover, Anthony also had a lot of connections with a lot of wealthy and powerful people. There were also a lot of powerful and prestigious people who came here to ask for Anthony’s diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, Donald knew that he had to be very respectful and polite toward Anthony if he wanted to ask for his help to treat his youngest son.However, Donald did not realize that Sean was doing this intentionally. He only felt that his son was probably acting this way because he was already used to being spoiled and pampered. Therefore, he might have lost control of his temper because he was already used to being overbearing and domineering.Donald quickly said, “Sean, the reason why we came here today is to ask for the genius doctor’s help to treat your younger brother. We should not be rude and disrespectful toward him!”Sean hurriedly repli
Anthony had met with many big and powerful figures before, and some of them had an even more powerful and higher status compared to Donald. However, those big figures actually treated him with reverence and respect.This was the first time Anthony had met anyone such as the Webb family, who was being so disrespectful toward him.Even though the Webb family was indeed the top and most influential family in Sudbury and the South Region, Anthony was not afraid of them at all. Therefore, he simply turned down and refused their request flatly.Donald could not help but frown. He never expected Anthony to blatantly ignore his request. Since he had already made a personal trip to invite the genius doctor to make a trip to see his youngest son, he expected him to immediately agree to his request. He did not expect Anthony to turn down his request without any hesitation whatsoever!Donald was very annoyed at this time, and he said coldly, “Dr. Simmons, I truly hope that you can speak to me
The expression on Donald’s face was very ugly at this time.He never expected Anthony to be so firm.All he had done was chase those pathetic and poor people away from the clinic, and yet, Anthony was already finding fault with him because of this?Donald truly felt like giving Anthony a tight slap across his old face when he was faced with Anthony’s arrogant attitude. After all, he had never been so humiliated and disrespected before in his entire life.However, as he thought about it carefully, he still did not dare to offend Anthony.Anthony was a national expert in Chinese medicine, and he could easily be regarded as one of the top doctors in the country. Donald could not even keep count of the number of powerful and influential people who had been treated and cured by Anthony. Donald knew that many wealthy and powerful people in Eastcliff had already benefited a lot from Anthony. If he really had the guts to beat him up today, he would only bring about a lot of hatred and tro
As soon as Donald’s voice fell, all of his bodyguards swarmed into the clinic immediately!The bodyguards began kicking all of the medicine racks on the sides of the clinic as they knocked down all the Chinese medical herbs and materials to the ground. After that, they also smashed all the medicine pots into pieces on the ground.In a blink of an eye, the huge medical hall had turned into a complete mess.Anthony trembled in anger, but he knew that there was no way he would be able to stop them. Therefore, he could only watch silently as the bodyguards continued smashing and destroying his clinic in front of him.The clinic was completely in a mess and ruined, and it did not look anything like it did just a short while ago.Donald snorted coldly before he said, “Dr. Simmons, I will give you another three days to consider my proposal. Before you agree to my request, I will come and smash and destroy your clinic if you dare to reopen your clinic at any time! You’d better think twice
However, Donald never expected reality to be so cruel even though he had already planned everything perfectly.Anthony had directly rejected Donald’s proposal without any hesitation whatsoever. Besides that, he even said that his youngest son could only blame himself for the predicament that he was in. This made him very angry.After getting into the car, Donald continued cursing as he said, “Anthony, that old dog! He really does not know what’s good for himself! I would have taken his life if I did not have to worry about getting into a lot of trouble!”On the contrary, Sean was secretly feeling very happy.He had initially been very worried that Anthony would truly be able to cure his younger brother.Unexpectedly, after visiting his clinic, Anthony had actually completely refused to treat his younger brother. As a result, Sean would not have to worry about having a strong competitor on his path to inheriting the Webb family fortune.However, he could not publicly display his f
When Donald saw that Sean had already begun to take action, he nodded in satisfaction as he praised him, “Good job, Sean! You have already learned to observe the fine details so that you can take advantage of the situation to advance forward!”Sean smiled before he said, “Dad, I have already been following you around for so long, thus, I have learned and picked up some of your skills. However, I still have a lot to learn from you as I am still far behind you.”“No,” Donald said seriously, “It is good enough that you noticed that Jasmine’s bracelet is relatively old and worthless. That is already a very big improvement. Moreover, you even took the initiative to buy her a nicer and more expensive bracelet. That proves that you are already learning to take action because you are much more mature and stable now! That is not bad at all. You did very well!”Sean was overjoyed when his father praised him. When he saw Cain looking at him with a desperate expression on his face, Cain smiled
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
