The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 2593
By the time Charlie was done with the banquet and had left the Moore family villa, Sheldon had already set off for Aurous Hill.In order to ensure that he would be able to get in touch with Yahiko as soon as possible, he specially arranged for his staff to book a hotel room for him in Shangri-La under his subordinate’s identity.He knew very well that Shangri-La was the Wade family’s property, so he could not allow the Wade family to find out that he would be staying at Shangri-La. At the same time, he also could not allow the Wade family to find out that he was heading to Aurous Hill.According to his plan, after his subordinate had booked the room at Shangri-La, checked in, and received the room card, the subordinate would wait for Sheldon nearby Shangri-La so that Sheldon could skip the check-in process and enter the hotel room directly. Although the hotel clearly required guests to show their valid ID in order to make a booking, the real name system could only be implemented t

Charlie pulled the car over and stopped by the roadside. When Jacob saw him, he felt as though he had seen his savior, and his eyes were gleaming with hope.However, Jacob deliberately chose not to speak to Charlie immediately.On the other hand, when Matilda saw Charlie, she smiled slightly as she said, “Charlie is here!”When Charlie saw Matilda, who was wearing a tight-fitting sports outfit at this time, he secretly thought to himself, ‘This Aunt Hall is indeed the idol for most middle-aged and elderly men. How does her figure, appearance, and temperament look like that of a fifty years old woman?!’Most people would surely believe it if anyone were to say that she was just thirty years old.Charlie immediately nodded before he smiled at Matilda and said, “Hello, Aunt Hall.”After he was done speaking, Charlie deliberately asked, “Aunt Hall, I heard my dad say that you were sick. Why did you come out for a run? Furthermore, your complexion looks really good and it does not loo

The trio looked in the direction of the voice, and they saw a muscular middle-aged man who was wearing a pair of sports shorts and a t-shirt as he jogged all the way to them.Charlie could not help but look at the middle-aged man. The other party was about 1.8 meters tall, and he had a very well-proportioned body with muscles all over. He looked like he was only in his early forties.Moreover, the other party was only wearing so little clothes for a run on such a cold day. So, it was obvious that this person had excellent physical fitness.What was even rarer was the fact that this man was extremely handsome. He had very thick short hair, and he looked extremely stylish.As soon as Jacob saw this man, he immediately became very vigilant. After looking the man up and down, Jacob could not help but feel a little inferior.After all, Jacob was just an ordinary fifty-year-old middle-aged man as compared to this man. He did not usually exercise or train his body at all, and he had no s

As he spoke, Yolden said jokingly, “By the way, Mr. Wilson, you look like you should be about fifty years old, right?”“Yes. I am fifty years old.” Jacob replied as he nodded.Yolden smiled before he said, “In that case, you cannot refer to me as a young man anymore. I am a few years older than you. I am fifty-five years old this year.”“What?!” Jacob asked as he was dumbfounded. “You are fifty-five years old this year?!”“Yes.” Yolden smiled as he said, “I just celebrated my 55th birthday in January this year.”The expression on Jacob’s face suddenly became a little ugly.It was not out of anger, but it was mainly due to Jacob’s inferiority complex.Jacob had initially thought that Yolden should be around forty-five years old. However, he really would not have expected that this guy would actually be five years older than him!At this time, Yolden looked at Matilda before he asked her, “By the way, Matilda, since Mr. Wilson has to go first because he is in a rush, what about y

As he thought about the fact that he had never been to the United States before, Jacob could not help but hate Elaine even more in his heart.He sat in the co-driver seat as he cursed, “That b*tch, Elaine, is the one who ruined my whole life! If it weren’t because of her, I would have been a top student who graduated from a university in the United States! Perhaps I would have also been a professor working at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology or even a professor working at Harvard in the United States!”As he spoke, he continued complaining angrily, “What happened in the end? As soon as I graduated from a local university, I got married to Elaine! I cannot get rid of her at all even up to this day!”Charlie could not help but comfort Jacob as he said, “It’s okay, Dad. There are some things that you cannot simply consider most optimistically. Although you are not in a happy marriage now, at the very least, you are in very good health. If you think about it from another point

At that time, many famous people from Silicon Valley had accompanied him and his mother when they visited Stanford University. They were not well-known at the very beginning but now, all of them were internationally renowned.If it weren’t because of his parents’ accident back then, Charlie would have headed to the United States to study in a university there first. After finishing his MBA at Stanford University, Charlie would have chosen to stay back in Silicon Valley to start his own career there, or he could even return to Oskia to help his father in their family business, then.It was a pity that the car accident that had happened when Charlie was eight years old had completely changed his life trajectory. Charlie was not even given the opportunity to finish his undergraduate degree.Charlie could not help but feel a little sad and melancholic as he thought about this.When Jacob saw the melancholic expression on Charlie’s face, he could not help but ask, “Charlie, what’s wrong

Early the next morning.The earliest high-speed train from Sudbury slowly stopped at the Aurous Hill Railway Station.There were an old man and a young man who stepped out of the business cabin at this time. These two people were none other than the Feng Shui master from the United States, Carvalho, and his great-grandson, Mason.After Mason stepped out of the train, he stretched out his hand to support Carvalho as he asked, “Great-Grandpa, have you already made a divination in advance to figure out if our trip to Aurous Hill this time would be a good or bad trip?”Mason knew his great-grandfather very well. He had already been cautious for so many years and so, he had already long formed a habit of his own. As long as he would be traveling, he would always draw a hexagram, to find out whether it would be a good or bad divination before he sets out on his journey.Carvalho was a little hesitant as he said, “I drew a hexagram between 3 am to 5 am in the morning, but this time, the

The taxi driver’s face flushed red in an instant, and he hurriedly said, “How about one thousand five hundred dollars, then?”Mason wanted to continue haggling with the taxi driver. However, Carvalho interrupted him at this time as he said indifferently, “Alright, then. We will give you two thousand dollars for the ride. Mason, pay up.”Mason subconsciously said, “Grandpa, he just said that he will only charge us one thousand and five hundred dollars…”Carvalho said decisively, “Have you already forgotten what I told you earlier? Pay him the two thousand dollars.”Mason suddenly quivered before he nodded immediately before he counted and took out twenty pieces of hundred-dollar bills from his wallet before handing it over to the driver.In fact, Mason was not a stingy person, nor was he unable to afford two thousand dollars. However, he simply felt that he could not accept it when he obviously knew that the taxi driver was trying to make more money out of them.However, when he t

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

Charlie hadn't thought about that and was therefore surprised.When he returned from the States, the Ackers were just planning to found a new automotive brand powered by new energy.And they were ready to acquire one now?With that in mind, he quickly asked, "Uncle Kaeden, do you mean to say that you've already acquired one?""Yes," Kaeden nodded. "There's this company having trouble with capital, and their founding directors were looking for financiers wherever they could reach. I bumped into their CEO in Eastcliff by chance myself and discussed it with Christian—we both decided to acquire it for 3 billion USD since it's really not that much."Charlie nodded—3 billion really wasn't much, even for himself, let alone the Ackers.That was when Yolden couldn't resist asking, "Mr. Kaeden, could you perhaps be referring to Godot Autos?""Why, yes," Kaeden replied, surprised. "Are you perhaps familiar with them?"Yolden nodded. "I have heard of them and that they were in trouble with

Charlie smiled. "All is well. Aurous Hill is a safe place."And with that, he introduced Yolden to his maternal grandparents, who were enthusiastic to learn that he was a classmate of Ashley's.As the family invited Yolden to take his seat, Keith told his sons, "Be sure to make our guest feel at home—the professor was your sister's old friend, after all."Then, turning to Yolden, he said, "Do drink more if you can, but feel free to refuse if you can't. We're not that strict with drinking around here."Yolden could stomach his alcohol despite rarely drinking, and he did not hesitate to agree to drink with them, seeing that it was a pleasant evening for the Ackers.Keith then turned to Charlie, "You drink too, boy. Just ask your aunt to drive you home later."Charlie smiled. "It's alright, Gramps. Everyone on this hill is a friend—I'll ask Don Albert to send a car."Keith laughed heartily. "Wonderful! I shall drink with you too!""Really?" Holly quickly interrupted. "Did you get

Yolden didn't go into detail despite apologizing, as he was sure the Ackers would understand, so he didn't have to rub it in twice.However, it had been twenty years since Ashley's passing, and they certainly could take a brief mention in stride. That was why none of them found it offensive, especially since Ashley and Yolden were good friends and classmates.Charlie was just going to introduce Yolden, and so he said, "Yolden, I'm sure you recognize Uncle Kaeden? He often makes public appearances."Yolden nodded. "Yes, it's only natural. Your reputation precedes you, Mr. Acker!"Kaeden politely replied. "You flatter me, Professor Hart."After a brief handshake, Charlie moved on to the others and was surprised when he arrived at Merlin as Yolden spoke before he could, "This must be Chief Merlin Lammy, pride of the Oskians! I've seen your interviews and articles, and I really admire you!"Merlin smiled humbly. "I'm just a police chief—nothing to be proud about. The rest of you have
