When Charlie saw the excited look on Yolden’s face, he hurriedly explained, “Sorry, Professor Hart, but I am not a Stanford University graduate.”Yolden asked puzzledly, “Then how did you know that the redwood tree that I painted is the one in the Stanford University’s emblem? If you did not have a deep understanding of Stanford University, you probably would not be able to remember the Stanford University emblem, right?”Charlie did not hide the truth, and he simply replied truthfully, “My mother studied at Stanford University back then. When I was a child, I was fortunate enough to have followed her to pay a visit to Stanford University.”“So, that is the case!” Yolden nodded slightly before he said, “You look like you are only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old this year. So, your mother’s age should be similar to mine, right?”Charlie nodded as he said, “I am twenty-six years old, so my mother should be fifty-four years old this year.”Yolden thought for a moment before he

“That’s right!” Yolden nodded as he said emotionally, “The both of us have been classmates for several years, and we also have a very close relationship and friendship. In truth, when I was pursuing my wife back then, your mother was the one who helped me hand the love letter over to her!”Charlie asked curiously, “Professor Hart, could you tell me more about my mother? I do not know anything about my mother’s life experience before she married my father.”Yolden sighed as he said, “Your mother was very popular and famous at Stanford University back then! She was not only the best top Oskian female student in the whole of Stanford University’s history, but she was also the president of the Stanford Oskian Alumni Association and a sponsor of the Stanford Internet Venture Capital Fund. Many of the top high-tech companies that are now in full swing in Silicon Valley started slowly building up their businesses step by step using the funds sponsored by your mother…”As he spoke, Yolden c

As Yolden spoke, he could not help but lament, “Sometimes, the adult world is like this. Everyone unmistakably has a very good relationship with one another, but because of the great distance and because everyone has to live their own lives, it might even be difficult for us to meet up every three to five years.”Immediately afterward, Yolden had a very serious expression on his face as he said, “Although my wife and I rarely had the opportunity to meet up with your mother later, we still shared a very deep and close friendship. When your mother was still alive, my wife and I have always regarded her as our close friend. It is indeed a pity that she had to die young when she was such a good and outstanding person…”Charlie could not help but feel extremely sad deep down in his heart when he heard this.The people around his parents spoke very highly of them, but unfortunately, he personally knew very little about his parents’ deeds.In fact, Charlie was merely a kid who had just en

Yolden suddenly came to a realization, and he blurted out, “Is that the reason why you want to venture into the ocean shipping business?”“Yes.” Charlie nodded and said, “I do not know how much you know about the Schulz family, but back then, the Schulz family and my father did not get along very well. The Schulz family even set up the Anti-Wade Alliance, and they colluded with many other families to deal with and go against my father. Therefore, in my eyes, the Schulz family is also my enemy. Since the Schulz family’s ocean shipping business has been completely halted at the moment, I think that it is the perfect time for me to take advantage of this opportunity and step into the ocean shipping industry. That is how this idea came to me.”As he spoke, Charlie said, “I was originally planning for Doris to help me start up this business. However, she told me that if she were to venture into this business, she would have to possess a very thorough understanding of international trade,
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 2613
When Yolden said these words, Charlie already knew very well in his heart that it would simply be impossible for him to persuade Yolden to collaborate and work together with him.Moreover, he also understood a principle stating that ‘A gentleman would never force a person to do something against their own will’.Therefore, Charlie did not continue making any further efforts, and he said earnestly, “Professor Hart, I understand what you mean. I am sorry for being too reckless and hasty.”Yolden hurriedly waved his hand and said, “This is not your fault. This is just an issue that is weighing heavily on my mind. Since I have already made a promise to my deceased wife, I will have to keep my promise and not be ambiguous on this issue. So, I hope that you will not hold it against me.”Charlie hurriedly replied, “Why would I? Professor Hart, I truly understand your decision.”Yolden smiled happily. At this time, it seemed as though he suddenly recalled something, and he said, “Charlie,

“Google, Apple, Yahoo, Cisco, Oracle, Tesla, and many other top high-tech companies emerged and established themselves, step by step, from Silicon Valley.”“Their market value has already increased tens of thousands of times, and their growth and incremental space are extremely huge!”“If any stockholder bought Apple’s shares twenty years ago, he would have made a profit of more than three hundred or four hundred times.”“Did you know that your mother invested in Apple with the venture capital fund that she had set up even before you were born?!”“At that time, Steve Jobs treated her as the most distinguished guest, and when Apple’s market value was only worth a few billion dollars back then, she paid up hundreds of millions of dollars in exchange for 10% of Apple’s shares!”“Apple’s market value at the moment is currently worth more than two trillion US dollars, and that is equivalent to more than fifteen trillion Oskia dollars!”“After many rounds of dilution and reduction, the
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 2615
At this time, Yolden sighed as he said emotionally, “It is simply impossible for me to be able to finish talking about all of your mother’s successful investment and cases back then. If you have the opportunity to head to Silicon Valley one day, and if you look for any of the bosses of any top global group and tell him that your mother’s name is Ashley Layna Acker, they will certainly use their highest standard of etiquette to receive you and treat you as their most distinguished guest…”Charlie sighed as he said, “If I had not met you, I would have never have known all these things about my mother…”Yolden looked at Charlie before he smiled slightly and said, “Your mother’s vision and long-term strategy and planning are far beyond any of our reach.”“Truthfully, back then, many of us did not even understand your mother’s investment strategies or operations. This was because many of the companies that she invested in did not seem like it would have any developmental prospects to us.

Yolden assumed that Charlie only had Emgrand Group and the ten billion dollars worth of cash in his hands. So, Charlie would only have a little over one hundred billion dollars if he were to add these two things together. The possibility of Charlie being able to compete against the Wade family or the Schulz family would basically be close to zero.Charlie smiled slightly at this time as he said, “Professor Hart, to tell you the truth, I still have more than tens of billions of dollars of funds in my hands. Moreover, I also own a pharmaceutical company that is running at a good momentum and is currently earning me an annual profit of ten billion dollars. In fact, the company’s profit might even exceed one hundred billion dollars next year. Therefore, I will certainly have the funds to continue any of my other projects.”Yolden asked in surprise, “You own a pharmaceutical company that is making an annual profit of more than ten billion dollars?! What is the name of your pharmaceutica

Jimmy was sweating profusely in fear, but he argued back before he knew it, "That's impossible! Everything you say is bullshit! Gaiman simply thought he had a fair chance of winning and didn't want to pay Ares that much, and I have no idea who he partnered with, and I'm certainly not involved. Don't you try to slander me!"Nate chuckled. "Come on, Jimmy. We're all adults here, so there are things we shouldn't have to be so direct about. Mills Gaiman and your old classmate met in private many times, not to mention the private conferences you three had in secret, discussing your overall strategy and decisive points. Just so you know, Gaiman recorded every conversation, and I have the tapes with me."Jimmy's heart was left pounding as he blurted, "B-Bullshit! That's impossible!""Grow up, Jimmy," Mr.Goodman chuckled. "Every partner in every law firm always strives to rise higher, so I'm going to need as much leverage as I can. Otherwise, I'm not about to let them advance any further, e

Although the ringtone and vibration frequency were the ones Jimmy always used, this call somehow felt more urgent, leaving him exceedingly uneasy.When it abruptly stopped and left a missed call on his log, Nate Ellis soon sent a text: [Answer your damn phone this instant!]Just seeing the text left Jimmy feeling like his throat had gone dry, and as he gulped, it felt like his throat was being ripped, leaving him hurting.Still, he couldn't care less as his boss called again.Having seen the text, Jimmy didn't hesitate this time and promptly answered, watching Julien's smug face as he started tentatively, "Y-Yes, boss...?"Nate immediately yelled at him hysterically, "What the hell did you do?! Why did the Rothschilds call to complain about you?! And the complaint was from their heir apparent, at that! I worked hard for them and always toed the line for years, and I still haven't gotten a chance to meet the man, so how the fuck did you upset him?!"Jimmy's heart sank to rock bott

Fuming, Jimmy snapped at Julien, "If you insist on playing it like that, I will call my boss, and you can talk to him yourself!"Julien chuckled. "That's unnecessary. I've never met him. He would never recognize my voice."Jimmy laughed and nodded despite himself. "Impressive—you can really come up with anything! You don't have his number because he's beneath you, you refuse to call him because he's beneath you, and when I say I'll call him for you, you say he won't recognize your voice. Well, how do you suppose we should sort this out? At least prove you're a Rothschild, or anyone could claim that they are—"Julien held up a hand to stop him. "Then, how about this? I'll ask my butler to talk to your boss."Jimmy laughed even more loudly as if it were the best joke ever. "Hahaha!!! Butler, you say?! You really know how to talk! Alright, I'll wait and see what your 'butler' can do… I mean, what you can do. We'll see whether my boss calls me!"Julien ignored him and whipped out his

Naturally, Jimmy couldn't care less about Julien's suggestion, even looking at him pointedly from head to toe while smirking in contempt, "What, do you think I'd just do what any nutjob tells me to do just because they're claiming to be the Rothschilds' heir apparent?"Julien nodded, still smiling. "Good point, but don't worry—it's the same whether you call him or he calls you."Jimmy laughed. "I was offering you a way out, but you want to keep pressing your luck? Since you don't care to back off, let's see how you're going to finish this fight."Then, he shrugged while pointing at Yolden. "Well, it's the perfect chance to measure Matilda's husband, I guess."Based on what he saw of Yolden, there was no way he would buy Julien's claims, and thus labeled him an impostor in his mind.An ordinary lecturer in Aurous Hill, being friends with the Rothschilds' heir apparent? Not to mention that there had been plenty of fraudulent cases outside the States where the Rothschild name was use
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6607
Jimmy was taken aback since he didn't recognize Julien at all, mainly because the Rothschilds had always kept out of the public eye.In fact, it was basically impossible to gather genuine information about the Rothschilds online, as it was a mix of press releases and gossip. Most online biographies would only be about the older generations or certain frivolous figures. Any information about key members like Steve would never be searchable online.Matilda was confused as well, not quite understanding who Julien was since he wasn't on the list of guests invited.Seeing that she was confused, Julien turned and smiled at Yolden, "So, Professor, shouldn't you introduce me to the bride?"Yolden finally remembered that and quickly nodded, "Sorry, it slipped my mind."Turning toward Matilda, he smiled, "Darling, this is Julien Rothschild… A friend of mine from the states…"Julien's full name left everyone within earshot gaping as the Rothschild name was way too famous across the globe.

Seeing that Jimmy was getting a little nervous, Charlie smiled and assured him, "Please, you have nothing to worry about. No one's going to do anything to you, but if you feel threatened in any way, you can call the cops. The Oskian emergency hotline is 110, by the way."Jimmy was slightly relieved as he could see that Charlie really wasn't trying to make things awkward for him, and he straightened his collar as he said, "Actually, I didn't mean to cause trouble—I'm pleased that Matilda has found true love once more, and if we can be friends, I can set aside my claim and stay for the rest of this wedding, offering the newlyweds our best wishes as a representative of my family."Still, his expression showed contempt as he turned toward Yolden. "Also, I'm really curious and looking forward to seeing what connections Professor Hart might have that you say could be better than Bill.""You'll see soon enough," Charlie smiled and nodded.Jimmy remained skeptical and scoffed, "I really do

If Charlie really did get Jimmy to stay, who knew what other rubbish Jimmy would spout.As for Jimmy, he was actually surprised Charlie was asking him to stay, and his instincts told him that Charlie definitely didn't mean well.Not only that, he was on foreign soil—wouldn't he be defenseless if Charlie called in his friends to beat him up?Hence, he shook his head without hesitation as he said, "I'm sorry, but my sister-in-law is quite keen for me to leave, so I have no reason to stay and add to her problems. And it is her big day. I can afford to let her save face instead of spilling the beans on her all at once.""Oh, but you were complaining about the lack of important people just now!" Charlie quickly interjected. "It just so happens that we have a big-shot on his way here, and he's a good friend of the groom. When I told him about you over the phone, he said to keep you here no matter what it took, since he would like to talk to you face to face."Jimmy frowned. "What, are y

And with those words, Jimmy turned to leave.Despite threatening Matilda, there was no such agreement, and he knew that Matilda was well aware of that.Regardless, the only strategy he had in mind when he came to Oskia was harassment. As such, he simply came up with a lie to make Matilda look bad in public. All it took from there was just for one person to relay what he had said—even if it were all lies, Matilda's character would still be called into question.He made himself very clear so that Matilda would understand that if she didn't give in, his family would keep hounding her to take their two pounds of flesh. Even if she wouldn't surrender the stateside estates and human resources of Smith Group Corporate Law, they would still claim a sizable chunk.But if that failed too, they would just have to destroy Matilda's reputation along with Smith Group Corporate Law.Either way, they were not letting her off easy!And reading that much from Jimmy's behavior, Matilda snapped co
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6603
Jimmy didn't expect Matilda to break down the share ownership of Smith Group Corporate Law to such detail, and he hollered as he was starting to feel embarrassed, "Now, you're just being irresponsible, Matilda. My father gave my brother a million to start the law firm in the first place, and they had agreed that the family would have a stake, albeit only at 49%, to not deny your decision-making as a startup. Or are you denying it?"Matilda immediately became furious and snapped, "Bullshit! That was just a loan of one million, and the agreed term was three years. However, your brother returned it in one! I even asked him to return the money with every single one of his siblings watching, since you might all get skeptical, yet suddenly, you're calling it an investment?""You said he's returned it? Well, what proof do you have?" Jimmy quickly shot back. "Our entire family can testify that the money hasn't come back to us!""So, this is how you're going to play it?" Matilda smirked. "Th
