After that, Christopher could not be bothered with Jacob anymore. He simply looked at the boss as he said, “Please come with me to see the sofa set!”“Okay!” The boss nodded slightly before he walked out of the furniture shop with Christopher.Lady Wilson frowned as she glared at Jacob and asked coldly, “What are you doing here?”Even though Jacob had already cut off all ties and relationship with this old lady, on the bright side, she was still his mother anyway. Therefore, he still had some respect for her when he saw her.At this time, Jacob replied respectfully, “Mom, the renovation for Charlie’s villa has already been completed. We’re here to buy some furniture so we can move into the villa as soon as possible.”Jacob was simply telling the truth but when the words reached Lady Wilson’s ears, she felt so uncomfortable that it felt as though someone was slapping her across her face!At this point, she was about to get driven out of her villa and she was so desperate that she
“Enough!” Lady Wilson was very angry and she yelled violently as she glared at Elaine before she cursed and said, “You b*tch! So what if the Wilson family is in despair right now? We’ll definitely have a chance to rise again sooner or later. When that day comes, it will be completely impossible for me to accept you back into the Wilson family even if you beg me to accept you!”Jacob hurriedly said to Elaine, “Elaine! How could you speak to Mom like this? Hurry up and apologize to her now!”Elaine frowned as she stared at Jacob and said coldly, “Have you forgotten that this old woman drove you out of the Wilson family? Are you starting to defend her and protect her again? You may treat her as your mother but has she ever treated you as her own son?”After she was done speaking, Elaine pointed at Lady Wilson before she said coldly, “Old lady, I hope that you can get your facts right and figure out the exact situation that you’re in right now. Are you still pretending as though you’re
The salesman nodded slightly before he said, “You can come back here again if you want to buy the sofa set from us.”When they turned around, Lady Wilson had already disappeared with the rest of her family.Jacob went to several shops selling Lexington wood furniture but he did not see any sofa sets that he liked.Elaine felt very anxious at this time and so, she proposed that they should just buy the other furniture for the bedroom and dining room first. Otherwise, they would have just made a wasted trip to the Furniture City today.Jacob also felt that it was not feasible for them to continue wasting time like this. Therefore, they went to check out the other shops instead.Elaine chose a bed that cost tens of thousands of dollars for herself whereas Claire simply chose a bedroom set that cost about ten thousand dollars. At this time, they also bought some furniture such as wardrobes, a dining table, and so forth for the bedrooms and the living room.They even bought all the ho
Jacob was very excited when he heard his brother’s question. He replied excitedly, “Of course it’s true! I’m willing to pay 1.2 million dollars for it!”Christopher replied, “Okay, since you really want it, then you can transfer the money over to Mom’s bank account. After that, we’ll consider the furniture sold to you.”Jacob was very satisfied and he quickly replied, “Alright then. Why don’t you send the sofa set over to our villa at Thompson First now? After the sofa set is unloaded at the villa, I’ll pay up immediately.”Christopher hesitated for a moment on the other end of the line before he replied, “Okay then. The sofa set is already in the truck now and we can transport it over to the villa at any time now.”Jacob hurriedly replied, “Okay, I will meet you at the villa at Thompson First then! See you there!”After he was done speaking, Jacob hung up the phone immediately before he said excitedly, “Charlie, you’ve guessed it correctly! They are going to sell the sofa set to
However, the person who was going to live here was none other than Claire, whom she had always despised and looked down on!As she thought about this, Wendy also said, “Grandma, I’ll come with you too!”After she was done speaking, she quickly hurried forward as she supported her grandmother’s arm on one side while her brother held onto her grandmother’s other arm.The grandmother and her grandchildren walked into the living room as they observed the splendid and amazing decorations and renovation in the house. They were so amazed that they could not even say anything at all.The ceiling in the oversized living room was more than ten meters high and there was a huge, luxurious golden crystal chandelier in the middle of the living room. The light reflecting from the crystal chandelier was so colorful and bright. It was so beautiful that it was simply suffocating!Lady Wilson could not help but feel her legs trembling as she stood in the luxurious living room.Compared to this vill
The expression on everyone’s faces changed as soon as they heard Lady Wilson’s words!The first person who had a change of expression was none other than Elaine!She instantly understood the old lady’s intentions!She was really incredible! She was really a sly fox! She was simply pretending to give them the set of furniture because she wanted to move into their villa!She was finally able to get rid of the old lady and the Wilson family. She was finally able to live an even better life compared to the Wilson family and she was finally able to crush the Wilson family under her feet.As a result, the old lady was simply trying to suck up to them just so she could move into their huge and luxurious villa, wasn’t she?Why didn’t she just take a piss and look at her own reflection instead? Did she really deserve to stay here in the villa with them?Jacob was not a fool either. In fact, he had been seriously moved with the old lady’s generosity at first. However, in the very next sec
Jacob also nodded repeatedly at this time.He already knew what it felt like to have a shrewd woman in the house. It felt as though he was constantly treading on thin ice.If there were two shrewd women in the house, then it would not be a home at all.Therefore, he could only harden his heart as he said, “Mom, why don’t you give me your bank account number? I will transfer the money over to you right now. Otherwise, you can take your furniture back and we can just ask the porters to move the furniture out of the villa now.”Lady Wilson was very angry as she pointed her finger at Jacob. At this time, she rushed forward to give him a slap across her face. Fortunately, Jacob reacted fast enough and he took two steps backwards quickly, so the old lady did not manage to hit him.Lady Wilson was trembling in anger because of her Jacob’s attitude. What was even more depressing was the face that she would not have the opportunity to enjoy living in such a huge and luxurious villa. This m
Christopher was waiting for them outside the villa. When he saw the old lady coming out of the villa with his son and daughter, he hurried forward and asked immediately, “Mom, did you get the money from them?”Lady Wilson had a very black face as she said, “Yes. Let’s go!”When he saw that Lady Wilson seemed to be very angry, Christopher hurriedly grabbed Howard before he asked in a low voice, “What happened? Why is your grandmother so angry?”Harold waited for his younger sister and grandmother to walk a little further away before he whispered, “Dad, Grandma is really the worst!”“Why are you talking about your grandma that way?” Christopher could not help but reprimand his son at this time. “We’re all depending on your grandmother now. How could you say that about her? What’s going to happen if she hears you?”Harold replied angrily, “Dad! Do you know what Grandma said to Second Uncle? She told him that she would be willing to give him the sofa set for free as long as he was wil
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
