Mrs. Lewis sighed, “It was my job to take you off the street and into the orphanage, but you don’t have the obligation to take care of me and pay for the expensive medical bills. Besides, I know very well how your life in the Wilson family is…”Then, she continued, “Don’t worry, Charlie, I’ll find a way to pay you back.”Charlie was moved. Mrs. Lewis had really treated him as her own son and cared so much about him.He said in a sincere tone, “Mrs. Lewis, you don’t have to worry about the money nor pay me back either.”“No, I can’t do that! It is a lot of money, I have to repay you!”“No, Mrs. Lewis. I’ll always remember your kindness towards me. It’s my duty to spend money on your treatment. If you still insist on paying me back, you’re treating me as a stranger and I might not want to see you again!”Mrs. Lewis smiled warmly at his remark, but she knew that she couldn’t accept his money just like that. She would return the money to him no matter what he said.But, she said on

Elaine immediately entered the wedding anniversary of Charlie and Claire into the ATM.The screen prompted, “Hello, honorable Citibank Supreme VIP member, your password is incorrect, you have one attempt left today.”“D*mn it!” Elaine cursed. “Wrong again? D*mn, I have only one chance left…”She was stomping anxiously, suddenly, a thought struck her mind. Could it be Charlie’s own birthday?She wanted to give it a try eagerly, but she suddenly realized that she didn’t know when his birthday was. She sheepishly took out her phone and called Claire.She hurriedly asked as soon as the call was answered, “Claire, when is Charlie’s birthday?”Claire asked skeptically, “Mom, why do you want to know?”She knew that her mother had always looked down upon Charlie, so she couldn’t comprehend why she wanted to know Charlie’s birthday so abruptly.Elaine said, abashed, “Oh, erm, Charlie got us a villa, didn’t he? He worked hard for that, so I want to reward him with something like celebrat

Elaine stared at the numbers on the ATM, shocked and befuddled!She felt like the world was crumbling all around her.Her heart was still thumping vigorously. She did not understand why Charlie had twenty billion in his account!“No way! How is it possible? Twenty billion! Am I crazy or is Charlie? Where did he get so much money?”Elaine’s hands were shaking violently. Twenty billion! Not two hundred dollars, not two million dollars, but twenty billion!She had never even dreamed of so much money in her life!Where did Charlie get so much money? Did he fool Bill Gates without their knowledge?At that very moment, her first thought was to call Charlie and ask him about the money.But the next second, she shook her head hard. “No! I can’t call him! He will know that I’ve stolen his card!”The thing she should do now was to transfer his money into her account as soon as possible before he found out!She immediately clicked on the transfer option and entered her bank account numb

‘Yes, I am Elaine. My execution style is like a tornado, wherever I go, I don’t leave anything behind!’Gripping the card tight in her hand, she walked into the bank, thrilled and determined.A young and enthusiastic young man approached her as soon as she walked in, “Hello, how may I help you? Let me get you a number.”Elaine waved the black card in her hand and said eagerly, “I would like to make a transfer!”The young woman was bewildered when she saw the card!All Citibank staff had undergone professional training before they started work. In one of the training classes, there was a section dedicated to explaining about the black card!The black card was Citibank’s most exclusive card. It was limited to one hundred cards in the world and there were only five in the country!Everyone owning the black card was Citibank’s super VIP customer that could enjoy a personalized treatment with utmost respect and hospitality by the top executives of any branch!The young staff had nev

Elaine felt a sense of comfort and at ease when she heard Dorian’s remark.So the ATMs were for ordinary people!Hahaha, by ordinary people, did he mean poor people? Haha!He was right. She was about to become a super-rich woman with a net worth of billions, how could her noble self perform the transaction in front of an ATM like those lowlifes?Elaine grinned triumphantly as she stretched herself and said, “Not bad, Lee, good job!”“Oh, you are too welcome!” Dorian said respectfully, “You want to make a transfer, am I right? I will assist you personally.”He sat opposite Elaine and turned on the computer in the VIP room.When the computer was turned on, he asked, “Ma’am, which account and how much are you going to transfer to?”Elaine took out her card, handed it to him along with the black card, and uttered, “Transfer 21.9 billion from this black card to this white ICBC card!”Dorian was startled to the point that he almost wet himself.“Ma’am…are you sure you want to trans
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 814
Then, Dorian said immediately, “I received a notification here that says the money has been transferred.”Elaine quickly opened the mobile banking app on her phone to check. She frowned frustratedly and asked, “Why haven’t I received it yet?”“Oh, don’t worry, this is 21.9 billion, after all. When such a large amount of money is involved, the banking system has to repeatedly confirm the transaction and also report it to the headquarters for filing purposes, so it will take a while for the transfer to complete.”Elaine growled in frustration. “Oh my god, are you kidding me? Do I have to wait? How long do I have to wait?!”“I’m not sure, it will take either tens of minutes or maybe up to one working day”“Oh my god, why does it take so long? Hurry and urge the system to work faster or I’ll order the Citibank to fire you!”“It’s not up to me to control it, it’s the decision from the headquarters. My hands are tied even if you sue me in court…”From the looks of it, Elaine determine

Charlie, who had always been calm and steady, couldn’t help being dumbfounded when he saw the message!There were a total of 21.9 billion deposited in his Citibank black card.Among that was the ten billion that had been originally in the account when Stephen first gave him the card.Then, there was the ten billion that he had exploited from Masao Kobayashi, and one billion he obtained from Jiro Kobayashi after his father’s death.There was also the one billion he had received from Lord Moore that he didn’t know how to deal with, so he had deposited the money into the card.Hence, he had a balance of twenty two billion in his account. But since he didn’t spend much of the money, there were 21.9 billion plus tens of millions in change.But now, someone had transferred 21.9 billion away! Who had done it?!The first person he thought of was the Wade family.Did they decide to take back his card because he was unwilling to return to the family for so long?No, it was highly unlike

“Okay.” Charlie felt relieved as well.Two minutes after he ended the call, he received another text message that said, “Dear Mr. Charlie Wade, a total of $21,900,000,000.00 has been credited to your black card account at 15:06 today.”Charlie finally calmed down with the money back in his hands.Then, another serious question arose in his mind.Elaine had stolen his card, tried out his password, and saw the shocking balance in his card.What if Claire found out about it? How would he explain it to her?!Charlie’s expression became more and more eerie.‘Elaine, I’ve endured your nasty attitude towards me for so long because you were Claire’s mother, but you were playing with fire today.’‘I wouldn’t let you go easily today!’Determined, he made another call to Isaac.As soon as the call was answered, Isaac’s respectful voice resonated. “Mr. Wade, how may I help you?”Charlie uttered angrily, “My nasty mother-in-law has stolen my card and ransacked my money, 21.9 billion in t

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
Chapter 6583
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
