Charlie really did not expect Paul to be willing to donate another one million dollars to the orphanage when he heard that Charlie was making a donation to the orphanage.He wanted to tell him that this would not be necessary. However, Paul had already hung up the phone on the other end of the line.When he realized that the phone call had already been disconnected, Charlie had no choice but to put away his cell phone in a helpless manner. At the same time, he felt that this young kid, Paul, was really an upright person. If he had the opportunity, he would like to guide him in the future.After hanging up the phone, Charlie said to Mrs. Lewis, “Mrs. Lewis, my friend will be transferring the money to the orphanage’s bank account immediately. Please inform the accounts and finance department at the orphanage to pay attention to the transfer. However, the amount will not be one million dollars.”Max did not wait for Charlie to finish speaking. He started laughing as he said, “Hahaha!
Max was even more stunned.What was happening? The two million dollars had arrived?Wasn’t Charlie, this pathetic jerk, simply a live-in son-in-law who was living off his wife? How did he get so much money?The others also realized that they had underestimated Charlie previously. They really did not expect Charlie to be so capable even though he was simply a live-in son-in-law.He did not only donate one million dollars as he said he would, but when his friend, who had no connection to the orphanage, heard that he was donating one million dollars to the orphanage, he was also willing to donate another one million to the orphanage. What kind of friend was this? How could he be so awesome?At this time, Charlie stood up before he looked at Max, who had a shocked and flustered expression on his face, before he said, “Max, everyone here might still be recording a video right now. Since my one million dollars have already arrived, where is your ten million dollars then? When will you b
When he saw that everyone was very interested about Max’s collision with the Phaeton, Scott eloquently told everyone about Max’s car crash.When everyone heard this, they were all too shocked to speak.Everyone could not imagine that Max would be so thick-skinned! He obviously hit someone else’s car but he could actually hold someone else’s car key in his hand and boast about the fact that he owned a Phaeton.This incident subverted everyone’s views and impressions of Max.However, Joey, who ran out to chase after Max, missed out on this wonderful story.He chased Max all the way out of the restaurant. When he saw Max walking towards the parking lot, he hurriedly chased after him.Max did not know that Joey had been chasing him all the way. At this time, he angrily opened Jayden’s Phaeton before he sat inside the car.At this time, a figure suddenly appeared outside the car window.Max was taken aback. However, upon taking a closer look, he realized that it was Joey, who had a
He realized that the interest rates for the loans from these online loan platforms were all very high. Some of the interest rates were simply insane. If he were to take out a loan of seventy thousand dollars from them, then he would have to pay back a hundred and thirty thousand dollars after just one week!The interest rate was nearly doubled! At this time, Joey could not help but asked Max with a worried expression on his face, “Brother Max, the interest rates on these loan platforms are simply too high. It’s almost equivalent to the amount of money that I can make from investing my money with you. If I were to borrow money from them to manage my financial affairs, then wouldn’t I be indirectly helping these online platforms to make money?”Max waved his hand indifferently as he smiled and said, “Don’t worry. These loan platforms that I’ve recommended to you are all operated by my friends. It might seem as though the interest rate is really high but they would be able to waive the
At this time, on the other end of the line, Janice suddenly let out a very strange scream. This made Max feel as though all the blood in his body was rushing straight down.This sound was very familiar to him. Wasn’t this the sound that a woman made when she was at her happiest because she was experiencing an orgasm?Joey felt very distressed at this time and he said, “My dear, you should stop twisting your body since you’re feeling so much discomfort now. You should stop practicing now. I will feel very distressed if your injury gets worse.”Janice groaned unbearably before she hurriedly asked, “Joey, is there anything else? If there’s nothing else, I’m going to hang up now. I…I’m still practicing and I can’t pause because I am at the most critical moment right now. Otherwise, everything would be in vain if I stopped right now…”Joey hurriedly said proudly, “Janice, I want to tell you a piece of good news! A good friend of mine is helping me to make some money. He can introduce me
Joey hurriedly replied, “We’ve known each other for three years and we’ve already been together for two years now.”Max asked again, “Then, how did you two meet each other?”Joey smiled before he said, “At that time, I wanted to join a company but I needed to ask someone to help me to do something so that I can get into the company. However, he wanted me to bring him two Treasurer Gold premium cigarettes.”“I found out that the Treasurer Gold cigarettes are really expensive. One of it would already cost a few hundred dollars and two of the Treasurer Gold premium cigarettes would already cost me more than one thousand dollars. Therefore, I decided to search online to see if I could find anyone selling it at a cheaper price. Who would have known that I would really find someone selling those cigarettes at a cheaper price! It was Janice! She sold her Treasurer Gold premium cigarettes for only two hundred dollars each!”Max could not help but feel extremely awkward after listening to J
When the heartless Max left Joey’s dormitory, he suddenly felt a little guilty towards him.He felt that even though people like Joey were really hateful, he was also very pitiful at the same time.He was an orphan with no father or mother. Moreover, he had not achieved anything in his life even after working hard for so many years. In the end, he had even found a girlfriend who was nothing but a shrewd woman.What would Joey feel if he found out that his girlfriend was actually enjoying sexual intimacy with another man when she scolded and cursed at him when he called her earlier? Moreover, Joey has just handed all of his assets over to Max.He even took up a loan of more than five hundred thousand dollars from loan sharks who practiced usury.In one weeks’ time, Joey would have to repay at least one million dollars for all of his loans.After a month, he would be owing them several millions in debt.When that time comes, he would certainly be very desperate with nowhere else
Aside from Stephanie and Mrs. Lewis, Harvey was the first person who gave a toast to Charlie to thank him for the donation that he made to the orphanage.The other people were all only toasting him, not because of the money that he had donated to the orphanage, but simply because they had found out that he seemed to be a wealthy person.These were two completely different starting points. Those who rushed forward to toast him for the donation that he had made to the orphanage really cared about the orphanage. On the other hand, those people who were simply giving him a toast were only doing so because they wanted to build up a relationship with him.After all, for all these people here today, anyone who could easily donate one million dollars to the orphanage at will would not be any simple or ordinary person. This has already far exceeded their understanding.Charlie and Harvey drank the glass of wine together. Harvey sighed sincerely as he said, “Charlie, I’m really very happy to
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
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
