Chapter 4012

Penulis: Lord Leaf
Charlie won again in the second round.

After winning two hands in a row, his mood seemed to have skyrocketed. He threw a large handful of one-hundred-dollar chips to Gopher and said, “Change them all into a thousand. A hundred is much too little.”

Gopher nodded eagerly and handed the order to a passing waiter.

Charlie casually counted his chips before throwing in ten thousand dollars with a small smile. “I want to beat the dealer three times in a row tonight!”

Seeing that Charlie was full of confidence and wanted to take advantage of the situation, Gopher immediately winked at the dealer.

This round, neither Charlie nor the dealer had a big hand. The dealer was only one point larger than Charlie.

So, the dealer won Charlie’s chips and paid out to the other two players.

However, the other players’ bets were miniscule in amount. One was a hundred, and the other was two hundred. Thus, the dealer took back all of his previous losses and even made a profit.

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 6632

    It was late at night in Oskia, and Paul was sound asleep when he got Jimmy's call.Jolting awake, he was about to hang up when he saw who it was.Still, he soon remembered that Jimmy would be working under Matilda despite his previously questionable behavior, and he definitely wouldn't cause further troubles after Matilda's wedding, so it was fine."Uncle Jimmy, what's got you calling so late?" He asked as he answered."Hey, Paul! Listen, I'm already back in the States," Jimmy exclaimed, excited beside himself. "I'll be back in Oskia once I settle everything with my family!""But aren't you only supposed to return in two weeks?" Paul asked, perplexed. "Neither Mom nor Yolden will be reporting in so soon. Why would you be back so soon? You could spend more time with your family.""Well, see, the thing is, I talked with Nate," Jimmy quickly explained. "By tomorrow, I will be flying with the Ares LLC board members and partners for team building in Aurous Hill as well as meeting Mr.

    Nate then asked Jimmy, "But are you sure we can invite Mr. Rothschild to the event?"Jimmy nodded, spreading his arms, "Absolutely, one hundred percent. Mr. Rothschild is currently staying in Aurous Hill. I'll contact him once we arrive."Nate was beside himself in excitement right then.After all, Julien Rothschild was the heir apparent of the Rothschild family, whose influence reigned over thousands. Having close ties with such a figure was something he would never dare dream of before this!As for Jimmy, he had his own reason for luring Nate and his partners to Aurous Hill.After all, he knew he could never persuade Nate to willingly relinquish his partners or even pay their salaries willingly for the next ten years.To actually seal the deal, he needed Julien's influence.And since he was counting on Julien to pull the trigger, why not just send the team over for a more personal touch?In fact, with Julien being there, Nate would inevitably be even more devastated, while Ji

    Hence, Jimmy and Nate were both very much pleased as they signed the ten-year contract.Jimmy was happy because even though he would be working for Charlie over the next ten years in Oskia, Nate was still paying his annual salary of 14 million USD. Even if he got just 30 percent, that was still a good four million that could sustain his family's normal expenses.On the other hand, Nate was pleased because he had no idea what the contract actually meant, only that he had managed to overcome the hurdle that was Julien Rothschild. It would be even better if he could get closer to the Rothschilds over the next ten years!Hence, the two excitedly signed their contracts and passed them to the other.After that, Jimmy stood up and said, "I came as soon as I landed, so my family will be waiting. I'll leave now that the contract is signed. See you tomorrow at the usual hour."He was not about to tell Nate the truth, that he would have a notary approve all the documents to protect his own r

    When it came to investment, Jimmy was willing to invest with anything but money.If he had to choose between making a million without investment or making two million by investing a hundred thousand, he would definitely choose the former.That was why it suited his character to want money instead in this deal.Knowing that, Nate didn't have any qualms. Who cared if Jimmy wanted money or anything else? As long as he signed the 10-year contract without any chance for reneging, he wouldn't be leaving Ares LLC.Moreover, since Jimmy had Julien's backing now, Nate had nothing to worry about just by keeping him in Ares LLC. If Julien invoked the termination clause, that would be his loss when the company's revenue kept improving every day, and he couldn't blame Nate for it.Hence, he said cheerfully, "No problem, Jimmy! If you insist on cash, let's go with that. In addition to the ten-year contract, I will pay you an additional ten million to buy back your shares.""There's also my s

    Nate still wasn't aware that Jimmy had other plans.While he was really reluctant to part with the 200 thousand shares, he had no choice but to restrain himself as he remembered that Jimmy now had the Rothschilds' backing."Very well, 200 grand shares, it is!" He exclaimed. "I dare say the 120 million dollar split per year is quite reliable since that commission will increase along with our firm's growth. You have a really bright future ahead if you stay in our firm, Jimmy!"Even though Nate's decision didn't come lightly, Jimmy was left frowning slightly.After doing some simple math, he came up with the conclusion that right now, he needed cash and not shares.Shares were a gamble, as one would be betting on whether the company would improve in the future or not.If the company did grow like clockwork, shares worth a million this year would be worth tens of millions in the next.If the company were on the decline, the shares might be worth less than a hundred thousand by the n

    In other words, if Jimmy wanted more money for the next ten years, he needed to increase the income he received from Ares LLC. The more, the better.That was why he told Nate he was willing to work at Ares LLC for the next ten years. He could never escape the fate of working in Oskia, but he was still technically working for the law firm and drawing their salary, so he decided to use that as his betting chip in this negotiation.After his trip to Oskia, he had come to understand that society was just a giant food chain. If the likes of Julien Rothchild were food to someone like Charlie Wade, frivolous figures like Jimmy himself would be positioned further beneath.But even though he was food for Charlie, he would still prey on Nate.On the other hand, Nate was left as concerned as he was delighted.Naturally, he was delighted that keeping Jimmy was no issue—the man was even onboard for a ten-year contract extension, and he wouldn't offend Julien Rothschild on top of that.However

    Pausing, Nate then added, "A lawyer always needs five to ten years to accumulate experience. If they do well, we will promote them and increase their salary or induct them as a partner if they're outstanding."You know how things work for partners in law firms—shares and increments. A partner is always paid better and allocated shares that will be redeemable in five to ten years, and they will eventually reach executive levels. All in all, the system is aimed at keeping partners in the firm to bring us further value."Jimmy held out a hand, stopping him. "That's common knowledge. What I mainly want to know is how you set them up and what dirt you have on them.""Oh, well…" Nate paused awkwardly, but he eventually sighed and said, "Once a partner has been promoted, we need two-fold insurance. After all, if they are highly skilled, they would eventually grow their own clientele and develop an appetite, which in turn means they would be demanding more shares or demanding a seat on the

    The board members of Ares LLC had all been waiting in the conference room, all of them aware that Jimmy was now friends with the Rothschilds and therefore afraid to appear insulting. Whether they resided in New York or elsewhere, they traveled over early on and waited.It was as if they were just some third-rate noble family in a feudal kingdom—they would never have a chance to even meet the royal family until a daughter was taken in as a consort. With one of theirs finally skyrocketing in importance, the rest of the family was hoping the daughter could rise all the way and become queen, bringing riches and prestige to the rest of them.Naturally, Nate planned to do the same.Placating Jimmy was one thing, but it was not particularly important—what mattered was how to get him to contribute further for Ares LLC after the fact.As Nate and Jimmy entered the room to meet the board members, it thundered with applause as everyone's eyes glowed as they watched Jimmy.The meaning was c

    "Alright!" Nate grinned. "My car's right outside. Let's go!"They left the airport and got in Nate's Bentley, and Nate drove him straight to the Ares LLC Manhattan office.Along the way, Nate sighed remorsefully. "Look, Jimmy—I really regret what I did yesterday. We've been working alongside each other for years, and I truly approve of you. If the Rothschild's butler hadn't pressured me, I wouldn't even think of abandoning you. I hope you understand."Jimmy didn't answer and instead asked, "You said over the phone that you keep dirt on every partner. What dirt, specifically?"Nate rubbed his nose in slight embarrassment. "More or less the same stuff as you did. We keep an eye out for easy, high-profile jobs, and then get a proxy who would convince the client to get the partner to work the case in private. It would spare the client some fees, and they'd be keen since it's easy. "Most partners wouldn't be able to turn down such an offer. So, when they work on the case, I ask those
