To the rich, the attractiveness of the Rejuvenating Pill definitely exceeded any other item in this world.
However, for such a long time before, Charlie had never treated the Rejuvenating Pill as a commodity.
The only time he auctioned it was because Kevin was too pretentious at Warnia’s birthday party, so Charlie took out a Pill to smack him in the face.
As for the other rejuvenation pills, he basically took them as favors and gave them to his friends and relatives.
However, the current Charlie, his mentality has changed from before.
Before, his desire to make money was not urgent, and he never thought about how much money he wanted to make or to what kind of height he wanted to go.
However, now he has become the head of the Wade family and vowed to carry the family forward, so right now he has to consider how to turn all his resources into benefits as well as gain influence as much as possible.
It just so happens that he has been rooted in Aurous Hill for many years, and now he also hopes that this city can assume the burden of the second center of the Wade family.
So by putting the Rejuvenating Pill to the auction, not only can he make a big profit, but he can also raise the influence of Aurous Hill up, which is definitely a two-fold victory.
At this moment, Issac respectfully asked Charlie: “Master Wade, when the time comes, how should we put these two hundred places in the auction?”
Charlie smiled, “Find a technical team and develop an official APP software, and let them sign up at that time.”
Issac asked again, “Then in case there are many people signing up, how should we select them? First come, first served or?”
Charlie waved his hand: “How can such a fair and just rule as first-come, first-served appear in our APP? We open the door to do business, of course, everything is money-oriented!”
Issac was confused: “Master Wade, then your meaning ……”
Charlie smiled: “Our APP, in theory, will be something anyone can download, but, if you want to sign up, I have two requirements:”
“First, must accept our capital verification of them, only people with actual assets greater than ten billion RMB are eligible to participate;”
Once these words came out, the crowd’s expressions were all appalled beyond belief.
Ten billion for an entry ticket? This threshold is too high! Even for the top high-end clubs in China now, the threshold for entry is only about one billion.
Not waiting for them to recover from the shock, Charlie said: “Secondly, on this basis, we will select two hundred final bidding places from the highest to lowest with the actual amount of capital verification!”
Saying that, he explained: “That is to say, our ranking is not in order, not first come first served, is a simple and rough measure of everyone’s strength.”
“Whoever has the most money, can be at the top, who has no money, or who is not rich enough, can not be ranked in the top two hundred, then sorry, I do not welcome him here.”
The crowd was dumbfounded, Issac subconsciously said, “Master Wade …… more than ten billion rich people, in the country we can not find two hundred ah ……”
Charlie laughed: “Who said it is limited to China? I will find some people from overseas to help promote the publicity, I believe that those overseas tycoons will also flock to the city.”
When he said this, Charlie thought of two suitable candidates.
One, is the old feng shui master Qinghua, he is highly respected in the United States Chinese circles, including Dan Mai, a group of Chinese Americans, dreamed of understanding.
Qinghua, in the end, thought of how to achieve twenty years of youth, once the auction wind is released and Qinghua says clearly that he ate this rejuvenation pill to rejuvenate, North America’s rich people will fly over the same night.
Another is the Nordic Queen.
Tomorrow is Helena’s enthronement ceremony when the entire European royalty and top tycoons will go to Northern Europe to participate in this enthronement ceremony.
As long as the old lady shows up in front of these European tycoons, the rejuvenation pills are bound to make huge waves in the hearts of these nobles.
At that time, the little Aurous Hill, I’m afraid, will become the center of attention of the world’s rich and powerful.
Speaking of this, Charlie said: “Mr. Issac, now many people do not want to draw a clear line with Shangri-La? Then when the time comes, you will announce to the public that all those who come to the auction must stay at Shangri-La before they can enter!”
“At that time, the price of your Shangri-La can be directly hundred times the original price! Previously a thousand a night, into a night of 100,000, previously a night of 10,000, into a night of a million!”
“Don’t they all want to hide away from Shangri-La? Let’s show them how the top tycoons grab a room at Shangri-La!”
Hearing this, Issac said excitedly, “That’s really great! Two or three days will be enough to do a year’s turnover ……”
Charlie laughed: “I hope that through this auction, we can make the soft power of Aurous Hill get a huge boost!”
“There is nothing unique about Silicon Valley in the United States, isn’t it because there are more Internet companies, so it gradually became famous worldwide?”
“Las Vegas was originally a desert, but after the gaming industry rose, it also became a globally famous gambling city in a very short time.”
“This proves that if a city wants to develop, it does not necessarily need a unique geographical location and natural resources, as long as it can choose the right field and put out its soft power in this field, it will definitely be able to develop.”
Speaking of this, Charlie arrogantly said, “I dare not say I can make Aurous Hill a top prosperous metropolis,”
“But I can definitely make Aurous Hill a long-life capital that the world’s top tycoons are rushing to!”
“At that time, I believe Aurous Hill’s economic development will also usher in a huge takeoff!”
……
In order to promote the plan of the auction as soon as possible, Charlie called Warnia and told her about the idea of the auction.
Warnia was extraordinarily excited after hearing it, because she knew very well that this was also a very good promotion for the Song family’s The Auction Hall.
Now there are many companies doing antique painting and calligraphy collection auctions, but not many are able to make an impact.
Christie’s and Sotheby’s are globally famous as long as they have strong connections and influence in the upstream and downstream.
Upstream, that is, the source of antique paintings and calligraphy, many good things are now in the hands of individual collectors.
If they want to take part of the collection out of the auction to realize, the first thought is the two big auction houses, so the two big auction houses of the so-called sources are countless times stronger than the general auction house.
As for the downstream, those who are willing to spend a lot of money from the auction house to bid on the collection of wealthy people, in general, only choose the high-profile, safe, and secure and consider the good name of the auction house.
Therefore, big auction houses like Christie’s and Sotheby’s can meet the upstream and downstream demand for it.
So they can also form a strong business closed loop, the more people trust them, the more good things to their auction, those buyers are more willing to choose them.
Over time, it is almost impossible for other brands to compete with them.
The Song family handles a lot of collectibles every year, but because they do not have a strong influence, so both the acquisition price and the sale price, can not reach the best state, and very often with the money can not receive good things.
With this auction, Charlie is willing to take The Auction Hall together with the organization, that the brand influence of The Auction Hall, is a very big promotion.
Maybe after one or two auctions, The Auction Hall’s influence can be on par with Christie’s and Sotheby’s. Therefore, Warnia did not hesitate to take part in the auction.
Therefore, she not only agreed without hesitation, but also promised Charlie that she would definitely take out the best collection to help Charlie to hold up the scene of this auction!
The inspiration triggered by the auction made Charlie exhilarated.
After he left Shangri-La, he didn’t go home, but went directly to the Emgrand Group to find Doris.
At this moment, in his heart, there was a longer-term plan.
He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to strengthen the Wade family’s business layout in Aurous Hill.
As long as he operated this auction smoothly, the attention of Aurous Hill would definitely rise rapidly, and at that time, the commercial value of the would also climb rapidly.
At that time, the land price will rise, the price of housing will rise, foreign investment will rise, and the overall consumption power and economic development level will also rise.
Therefore, if the layout is done well in advance, it will definitely enable the Wade family to seize this opportunity to take off!
Therefore, he was ready to raise funds immediately and hoard land in the city like crazy, and also make more investments in high-end service industries in the city as well.
Just like the United States Las Vegas, it is not only casinos, high-end hotels, nightclubs, restaurants are countless.
With Casino money, these high-end supporting industries can also follow a big profit.
As for real estate, it goes without saying.
Charlie even feels that they can develop a top villa area in Aurous Hill, the external sales price can be several times the market price or even a dozen times, a set of five hundred million, property fees from 50 million a year.
Don’t think it can’t be sold, it can be sold!
Because, as long as he puts out an extra Rejuvenating Pill, held an internal auction, only open to this group of owners, then these villas he will not worry about selling.
In a word, as long as the value of the Rejuvenating Pill is publicized with all efforts, it can have a continuous boost to the economy of Aurous Hill and the Wade family’s industry!
When he came to Emgrand Group, Charlie directly took the chairman’s elevator to the floor where Doris was.
As soon as Doris’s secretary saw Charlie coming, she hurriedly said respectfully, “Hello, young master, are you looking for Vice-Chairman Young?”
Charlie nodded and asked her, “Is your Vice Director in?”
“Yes.” The secretary spoke, “But Vice Director is meeting with guests, why don’t you wait in the parlor for a moment, I’ll go and tell her.”
“Okay.” Charlie said lightly, “Tell her not to rush, finish the matter at hand first.”
“Okay Young Master.”
Charlie followed the female secretary to the meeting room next to Doris’s office, and just as he reached the door, the female secretary pushed open the door and said to him, “Young master, you can sit for a moment, I’ll go and talk to Vice Director.”
“Okay.” Charlie casually answered.
Just after he finished speaking, at this time the door of the next room opened, and he suddenly heard a familiar voice from inside: “Vice Director Young, you stay here, I’ll just go by myself.”
Charlie immediately recognized this voice, it was his wife Claire.
At this moment, Doris said with a smile, “Ms. Willson, you don’t have to be so polite, I’ll send you to the elevator.”
Immediately after that, Charlie saw his wife Claire walking out of Doris’s office.
Seeing the side of Claire’s face, he hurriedly entered the parlor with a flash, and then closed the door immediately after.
And Claire just afterglow saw a figure flash into the next room, and then fixed her eyes to see, only to see Doris’s secretary with a dismayed face standing in the doorway of the next room, surprised at the door and asked:
“Young master …… you …… you all right?”
Charlie did not answer, because he was afraid that even if he deliberately changed his voice, it would be heard by Claire.
Doris just happened to come out behind Claire at this time, as soon as she heard her secretary mention the word young master, she hurriedly asked, “Silvia, what’s going on?”
The secretary was busy saying, “Vice director, the young master is here, he said he is looking for you for something, but ……”
Doris hurriedly waved her hand at her and said, “Okay I know, you go ahead and get busy, I’ll go see the young master after sending off Ms. Willson.”
Although the secretary felt that Doris’s attitude was a bit strange, but her professionalism made her ask nothing and immediately said dryly, “Okay Vice Director, then I’ll go and get busy first.”
After saying that, she turned around and left.
Doris sighed with relief, adjusted her state, and said to Claire, “Ms. Willson, let’s go first.”
Claire asked her in a low voice with some curiosity, “Ms. Doris, the young master that Silvia mentioned just now should be the chairman of your Emgrand Group, right?”
Doris could only nod and say, “That’s right, it’s our chairman.”
Claire asked again, “I seem to have heard someone talk about it before, he seems to be the young master of a big family in Eastcliff?”
“Right.” Doris laughed: “But our young master is relatively low-key, there is not much news about him in the outside world.”
Claire gently nodded, before, she was very curious about the actual identity of the chairman of the Empire Group.
After the Empire Group helped her several times, and even signed a cooperation agreement with her, she even sometimes had an illusion, always felt that this chairman of the Empire Group, seemed to have some kind of mysterious relationship with her husband Charlie.
However, whenever she had this thought, she quickly denied herself this speculation.
After all, she knows Charlie’s origin very well, he has been an orphan since childhood, his life can be said to be very poor, it is impossible to have any overlap with the young master of the great families of Eastcliff.
But she suddenly felt in her heart: “Just now I glimpsed the figure, physical outline including height, seems to be very similar to my husband ……”
In doubt, Claire can not help but comfort herself: “Claire ah Claire, you really think too much, just now that figure is very similar to Charlie, but what can that explain? You’d better not catch the wind here.”
So thinking of this, she did not continue to speculate more, but opened her mouth and said to Doris: “Young vice director, since the chairman is here, you do not need to send me off, I can go by myself.”
Doris smiled and said, “I’d better walk you to the elevator.”
After saying that, she made an invitation gesture and said, “Ms. Willson, please.”
Claire had no choice but to step outside, and when she passed by the meeting room, she paused for a moment, curious about the chairman of the Emgrand Group inside.
After all, it’s been so long, no one in the outside world knows who the chairman of the largest enterprise in Aurous Hill, the Empire Group, really is.
Claire also wants to know the true identity of the chairman, or rather, wants to see what this low-profile person is really like.
When Doris saw her stop her figure, she hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong with you, Ms. Willson?”
Claire came back to her senses and busily said, “Oh, nothing …… Let’s go ……”
Doris was relieved in her heart, and only then did she come to the elevator together with Claire.
She did not dare to make any mistakes, so she saw with her own eyes that Claire got on the elevator, and the elevator had started to run down.
Then finally relieved, turned to call her secretary and explained: “From now on, no one is allowed to come up to this floor, you hear me?”
The secretary hurriedly said, “Yes, I understand, I will guard the entrance of the elevator, you can rest assured.”
“Good.” Doris nodded in satisfaction and hurriedly went to the meeting room.
At this moment, Charlie could not help but have palpitations in the conference room.
Just now, if Claire had come out a second earlier, he would have had nowhere to hide within that corridor.
If it was a head-on collision, even if Doris and her secretary would not say anything, there was no way to explain this to Claire.
Obviously, he had gone to Eastcliff to see the feng shui of a client, how come he returned to Aurous Hill without saying anything, and he also came directly to Emgrand Group to look for Doris?
So, Charlie’s heart is extraordinarily glad that fortunately, she didn’t find out!
Just then, Doris knocked on the door outside the meeting room, “Young master, please move to my office.”
Charlie opened the door and asked, “Has Claire left?”
Doris nodded and said, “Young lady has already gone down, don’t worry.”
“Good.” Charlie breathed a sigh of relief and went to her office, while asking her, “What did she come to see you about?”
Doris replied, “It’s about the progress of the Imperial Hotel project, the second phase of the project undertaken by Madam has been completed, and our supervisor will organize the acceptance in the next two days.”
Charlie asked, “That side is still doing well, right?”
Doris nodded: “She did a very good job, the quality of the project, construction progress better than we expected.”
“And as for the Emgrand’s group, over the years, this is the most ethical B-party cooperation, construction materials and other aspects are not any jerry-built, this is definitely the industry benchmark.”
Charlie said happy, “That’s good.”
Doris opened her mouth at this time and asked, “Right young master, when did you come back from Eastcliff?”
Charlie said, “This morning.”
Doris nodded and said with some shame: “After I heard about the matter of Cataclysmic Front, I originally planned to come to Eastcliff, but then I thought that I was a woman,”
“So I was afraid that not only would I not be able to help, but I would also cause trouble for you, so I stayed in Aurous Hill to make sure that everything was running as usual in Emgrand Group, so please don’t take offense, young master.”
“How can it be.” Charlie smiled faintly and said seriously:
“You are right to do so, if, for every bit of wind and grass, everyone starts to leave their respective positions to help me, putting a lot of things into a deadlock, it’s a waste of time. Matters like Cataclysmic Front, for me, is nothing.”
Doris was busy saying, “That’s good …… I always felt that young master you must have a way to solve this crisis!”
Charlie nodded and smiled: “It’s a crisis but it’s more of an opportunity, I have now officially become the head of the Wade family, and the Cataclysmic Front has also pledged its allegiance to me, next is the time to let go and do something big!”
Doris’s expression was shocked, but soon returned to normal and said seriously, “Young master, with you sitting in the Wade family, I believe we will soon be able to usher in a new breakthrough!”
Charlie said, “Speaking of new breakthroughs, I just went to Shangri-La and talked to Mr. Issac and the others, and just happened to have a bit of new inspiration,”
“So I came over to find you immediately afterward, there are some things I need to discuss with you.”
Doris nodded gently and asked curiously, “Young master, what new inspiration have you got?”
Charlie then told her in detail about his idea about the auction.
After listening to it, Doris said with an excited face: “Young master, if you can really attract all the world’s rich people, then Aurous Hill’s development will be able to enter the fast lane immediately!”
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Aurous Hill, and for the Emgrand Group as well!”
“We must seize this first opportunity and make a good layout in the city before the auction really comes.”
Charlie agreed and said, “I share your view, I came to you for this matter as well.”
Saying that, he asked her, “How much money does Emgrand Group have available now?”
Doris busily said, “At present, our available funds are about 13 billion up and down, but we can still borrow at least 40 billion from the bank at any time, and the total capital plate can code to about 50 billion.”
Charlie nodded and said, “I’ll transfer 100 billion cash from the Wade family to you, and I’ll personally inject another 50 billion to make up 200 billion cash,”
“Then you use the fastest speed to buy as much prime land or land with development prospects as you can in Aurous Hill!”
Doris exclaimed: “Young master, invest two hundred billion in one breath? This plate will not be a little too big ……”
Charlie faintly smiled: “Since we want to grasp the first opportunity, the larger the scale of funds naturally the better, otherwise it simply can not eat the meat, at most, two mouthfuls of soup.”
Saying that, Charlie said: “In the future, I am going to gradually make Aurous Hill a longevity capital, in addition to the Rejuvenation Pill auction, I also plan to engage in several longevity communities and supporting high-end business services,”
“The threshold of longevity communities must be set infinitely high, so high that almost every owner has to be a famous and wealthy person on the Forbes list”
“By then, as long as they live in I can give them a certain percentage of Rejuvenation pills on a regular basis, for this group of people, one Rejuvenation pill to a large bucket of water, and distribute a cup to each of them, it is enough for them to rush.”
Doris instantly understood his meaning and busily said, “Young master, I have here a detailed map of all the plots of land to be developed in Aurous Hill, you might as well look over it and see which plot of land is more interesting to you.”
“Okay!”
Doris immediately turned on the interactive screen in the office, and then opened a special map of Aurous Hill.
On this map, the city of Aurous Hill is dotted with various green areas of different sizes and scales.
She pointed at these green areas on the map and said to him, “Young master, all the green plots on the map are plots of land to be developed and available for sale,”
“There are relatively few of them in the urban area and the area is relatively small, but from the new development area all the way to the suburbs, the supply of land is obviously much better.”
Charlie nodded, pointing to the urban areas with several plots of land said, “Near the city center, these pieces can be taken down as much as possible to me,”
“And must pay attention to the highest possible use of bank leverage, the maximum available funds on hand plate, I and the Wade family will give you a total of 150 billion cash injection,”
“You should strive to play at least three times the leverage effect, from the bank to take 450 billion cash out.”
Doris said somewhat nervously, “Young master, if so, then our debt will be more than 350 billion, if we count the original bank loans of the Group in the development projects, it will be more than 400 billion ……”
“Now the real estate market has been less than prosperous, and the policy orders do not allow speculation, we are in this situation, but still make such a high debt ratio is not a little dangerous?”
Charlie laughed: “First of all, the first point, we are not doing ordinary conventional residential development, to do is also to do ultra-high premium luxury homes,”
“So we will not go to inflate the price of ordinary housing in Aurous Hill, and will not affect the trend of the ordinary housing market in the city;”
“Secondly, I let you take these downtown plots, in the future to completely use as high-end commercial support, we are now under construction of the Imperial Hotel which is one of them,”
“Then also get a top clubhouse, better than the Song family’s brilliant clubhouse but also several grades higher on the high-end, one should not go in without spending a one hundred thousand or eight million out of the kind;”
“In addition, also to get a high-end shopping mall, where Chanel, Hermes, Louis Vuitton and even Lamborghini Ferrari those top brands, all to be introduced into,”
“If I attract all those rich people to Aurous Hill, must let them find options to spend money like dirt.”
“Finally, the third point, as long as those rich people are attracted over, our project will definitely not lose money, and even make a big profit!”
Speaking of this, Charlie said with confidence: “What we want to do, is the world’s highest premium real estate projects, and we do not pit the poor, not the average rich, only the world’s richest a small group of people!”
“Let them willingly purchase assets in Aurous Hill at a premium of ten times or even a hundred times, and willingly become part of my plan!”
After hearing Charlie’s plan, Doris nodded and said, “Young master, I understand what you mean, when the time comes, I will have someone come up with a professional business plan,”
“And even go find an internationally renowned design studio to help us roughly design a blueprint that will definitely start from the highest and most grand direction.”
“Mm.” Charlie said: “This matter will be left to you to take charge, my requirements are three,”
“The first is must be fast; the second is must be good; the third is must be full!”
“Do you understand the Dubai Mall? It is the world’s largest shopping center, I want to get their kind of feeling, but more high-end, more refined than them.”
“Understood!” Doris immediately said, “I will immediately start to do this.”
Charlie nodded in satisfaction and added: “Other than that, it’s the matter of high-end communities.”
After saying that, he zoomed out the map and found the vicinity of the airport, then immediately saw several pieces of land connected together at a location less than ten kilometers away from the airport in a straight line.
And this piece of land just happens to be near the airport highway, so he said to Doris: “I think this area is good, close to the airport, and next to the highway,”
“Although it is a different direction from the urban area, but the traffic should be more convenient, those rich and powerful people who come by plane can quickly arrive after getting off the plane, this is very convenient.”
Doris said: “These pieces of land are not much developed, the price should be relatively cheap, as for the traffic, because the surrounding has not been much development, so the highway is not set up here for the time being,”
“But we can communicate with the city and the traffic department, try to get them to build a new highway entrance and exit for us here,”
“If not, we can spend money to donate to build one, this is a little transformation on the basis of the original highway, it does not cost too much money.”
Charlie nodded, and asked her: “Then there is no suitable place to make a golf course nearby? It is best to develop it together with the golf course, with equestrian grounds, and then it will be directly next to our high-end community.”
Doris seriously said, “Young master, a large amount of land around here is idle, usually there are not many people and enterprises over there to develop, the golf course is certainly not a problem.”
“That’s good.” Charlie nodded and said, “Then you start today, the first talk to the bank about the loan, I will also arrange from the Wade family to transfer money to the Emgrand group, you take the time to prepare the funds out, first in one breath we can take all the land!”
Doris also extraordinarily excited, said: “Young master do not worry, I will do my best!”
Charlie satisfied with a smile, and said: “Right, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, a kid named Aron Wade will come over to report to you, that kid should still have two brushes, you will take him along for the project.”
“Aron Wade?” Doris asked, “Is he from the Wade family?”
“Yes.” Charlie lightly said: “This young man is from a side branch of Wade family, but he came to be your subordinate,”
“You do not have to give him a good face, just treat him as a donkey pulling the coal to mill, forcing him to bring out the level and ability of his stomach!”
Although Doris didn’t know who Aron was, but looking at Charlie’s meaning, she also guessed that Aron was probably punished by Charlie.
That’s why he was arranged to come to Emgrand Group, so she nodded and said, “Young master, don’t worry, I will squeeze out all his value!”
Afterward, Charlie and Doris carefully studied the current situation of the land to be developed in Aurous Hill together, and divided out all the parcels of land of interest before Charlie left the Emgrand Group.
When he came out from the building, the lights were already on the outside, and the traffic was busy, bustling, and very lively.
However, the people walking around, not like Eastcliff not everyone is very busy.
In Aurous Hill, because the pressure of life is not so great, the pace of life is not so fast, so you can see that people still have a few leisurely and relaxed faces.
However, these people come and go, except for Charlie, no one knows that the city of Aurous Hill, will soon become the object of the world’s attention.
At that time, this economic development has been pulling crotch, ready to take off!
……
Charlie saw that it was getting late, so he incidentally bought ten one-kilogram gold bricks from the nearby gold store.
After the gold bricks were bought, he took a cab directly from the entrance of the gold store and returned to Tomson.
The reason why he bought the gold bricks was because he knew that his mother-in-law, Elaine, is definitely looking forward to bringing her some gifts after his return.
However, Charlie now really does not have extra time to pick a gift, so simply buy a few gold bricks, when he says directly that they are gifted by a customer, her mouth will be distorted.
When the time comes to give her a piece as a gift, let her take it to play.
In this way, he does not have to worry about her selling the gold brick to cash.
If placed in the previous Elaine, certainly not say anything, tomorrow morning with the gold brick in hand she would be out to sell it.
And before she goes out, she would probably have to go to his and Claire’s room to steal the remaining gold bricks to sell them together.
But now she is really more honest, and her legs are not so convenient, want to go out to sell gold bricks is not very realistic.
What’s more, she also has to prevent herself from having to check occasionally on a whim, so getting the gold bricks can only be honestly put away.
Give her a very valuable item also can not take it out to realize the gift, but can take her mind on hold.
When Charlie returned to Tomson with the four gold bricks, he just entered the gate and saw his wife Claire walking out of the garage in the courtyard.
She had just driven back and parked her car, and when she saw Charlie pushing the door into the courtyard, she said joyfully, “Honey, you’re back!”
Charlie looked at her and said in a very doting tone, “Back, have you missed me these days?”
“Of course I did!” Claire is not shy at all, happy to run over and jump into Charlie’s arms, full of joy but with a few complaints, said:
“Why did you come back without telling me in advance, I could have come to the airport to pick you up!”
Charlie laughed: “I knew you must be particularly busy at work, I did not want to torment you to come so far to pick me up, I took a car myself and came back!
Claire said seriously: “What’s so hard about picking you up, but you, all the way back by plane, have to queue up for a taxi, how tired will you be!”
“Not tired.” Charlie said casually: “I am so physically fit, this little thing is nothing.”
Claire helplessly said: “You said earlier, you are at home to cook and wait for me to come back, you go out these days, mom does not cook properly.”
“All day all night confused, even just now she called me to say that she doesn’t want to cook and asked me to order food.”
Charlie smiled and said, “It’s good to order a meal, order me one by the way.”
Claire nodded and said, “You go to the room first to rest and relax!”
Claire swiped the fingerprint lock, and as soon as she entered the door, she heard Elaine’s lazy and reproachful voice: “Claire, what took you so long? I’ve been hungry, just waiting for you to come home and order dinner. ……”
At this time, in the living room sofa lying down, did not even look back, she knows it must be Claire who is back.
Claire helplessly said: “Mom, you are too lazy these days, no need for you to do housework, you can at least order a meal for yourself when you are hungry. ……”
Elaine impatiently said, “I’m most annoyed with ordering, either I don’t want to eat this or that, or I want to eat this or that, or you order it, I’ll just wait and eat it ……”
Claire sighed and said, “Mom, Charlie is back, let him say what he wants to eat.”
Claire’s words fell, then heard the movement in the living room: “Oh dear, my good son-in-law is back?”
After that, the sound of someone jumping on crutches could be heard.
Immediately after that, Elaine ran over with one hand on crutches, jumping all the way.
And once she saw Charlie, she immediately smiled fawningly and said: “My good son-in-law is back, why didn’t you tell mom, so mom could cook for you something delicious!”
After saying that, she immediately continued, “Good son-in-law you take a rest first, mom will go to the kitchen to see what can be made!”
Once Claire saw her mother’s positive and flattering appearance in front of Charlie, she immediately had a helpless face and couldn’t help but mutter:
“Mom …… how come once Charlie came back, you got in the spirit?”
Elaine busily said: “Nonsense! I’m not in the mood, I’m just going crazy these days, I’m holding my energy all over my body, waiting for my good son-in-law to come back and cook for him a good meal!”
Claire sighed, “There’s not even an egg in the kitchen, what are you going to cook for Charlie?”
“Ah? Is that so?” Elaine was surprised and asked, “Are there no dishes in the fridge either?”
Claire rolled her eyes, “There were only two small cabbages left, so I asked Dad to make noodles in the morning.”
Elaine cursed in anger: “This man, why should he eat the cabbages I bought it, how outrageous!”
Claire rubbed her temples: “Mom …… that cabbage was almost rotten …… Dad said if you don’t eat it, it will rot ……”
Elaine hurried to change the subject: “Forget it, let’s order, Claire, you hurry to see what is delicious!”
After saying that, and with a smile to Charlie she said: “Charlie, you went out for several days, you must be exhausted, right, come, hurry to the sofa to rest!”
Claire felt the difference, and although she was a little helpless, she didn’t bother to argue with her mother, so she took out her phone, opened the takeaway app, and started looking for food.
Elaine hurriedly greeted Charlie to sit down on the sofa, and asked for tea and water, Charlie several times said he’s not in a mood. She was unwilling to give up, went on crutches to brew a cup for him.
After handing the brewed tea to him, she smiled and asked, “Charlie, how about going to Eastcliff this time? Did everything go well?”
“Pretty smooth.” Charlie replied casually.
Elaine was busy asking, “Hey, you should have made a lot of money this time too!”
Charlie casually said, “The employer this time, had hand a little tight, so he did not pay.”
“Huh?” Elaine heard this, immediately filled with righteous indignation: “What kind of person is this? If you don’t have money, don’t ask people to work! He gave you work and he did not pay, this is too much!”
Charlie laughed: “He didn’t pay, but I got something in return.”
Elaine’s eyes that had just dimmed suddenly brightened up again and asked, “Good son-in-law, tell me how the employer paid off the bill?”
Charlie casually opened the handbag he was carrying and took out a gold brick from it first.
Elaine saw the golden brick and said with surprise: “Oh my God! Goldbrick! It says 1,000… Oh my God, 1,000 grams!”
Saying that, she quickly came back to her senses and said offhandedly, “The price of gold seems to be around four hundred, so this piece is only 400,000 ah ……”
Charlie then took out another piece, stacked with the previous one, and said, “It’s not like he only gave one piece.”
Elaine clapped her hands happily: “Oops! There’s more!”
Charlie took out another piece, Elaine was even more excited: “Oh my God, three pieces!”
Immediately after ……
“Oops, four pieces ……”
“Mom, there’s more, huh? This is the fifth piece, right ……”
Every time Charlie took out a gold brick, Elaine was dancing with excitement, that look like the old goblin who finally waited for the meat of the monk.
After Charlie took out all ten gold bricks and formed them into two rows, Elaine stared at the pile of gold bricks with wide eyes and asked excitedly, “Good son-in-law, is there more?”
“No more.” Charlie said indifferently, “A total of ten pieces were given, estimated to be worth about four million.”
“Holy cow!” Elaine happily exclaimed: “If you want to say this 4 million alone, it seems to be moderate, not too little, but not too much ……”
The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a gold brick and say, “But if you want to replace the 4 million with gold, it’s really quite a shock! This gold glittering look, but also too festive!”
Charlie nodded and said, “I originally wanted to exchange it for cash and bring it back, but then I thought, there is no reserve of precious metals at home, so I might as well treat these ten gold bricks as savings at home, it can also carry through the inflation.”
Elaine nodded repeatedly and said with approval, “That’s right! Now housing prices are not going up, stocks are falling like dogs, and the price of gold is relatively firm!”
Saying that, somewhat embarrassed to look at Charlie, laughing she said: “Good son-in-law, you see mom has never played with gold bricks in her life, this thing shiny and heavy, feel quite good, why don’t you give me a piece, so that I can play with it when I have nothing to do?”
Claire listened to it with laughter and said: “Mom, you see you have nothing to do with the gold plate ……”
Elaine said with a righteous face: “Have not heard people say? All things can be coiled! This big gold brick, nothing to hold in your hand as a dumbbell can also strengthen the body!”
Charlie immediately laughed: “Mom you are right, you can hold it as a dumbbell for fun!”
Once Elaine heard this, she happily hugged the gold brick in her arms and said happily, “Thank you, my good son-in-law!”
Claire said: “Mom, this is the reward for Charlie, you should not take it just like that ……”
Elaine discontentedly muttered, “Claire, this is a gift from Charlie to Mom, it is Charlie’s heart, why are you always spoiling the fun here ……”
Claire seriously said, “I’m not spoiling the fun, I’m afraid you’ll do something demonic again ……”
Charlie persuaded Claire on the side: “Okay, Claire, Mom likes it, so let her take it to play, you do not worry.”
Elaine, holding the gold brick, said to Claire: “Claire, Charlie is fine with it, you should not nag here.”
After saying that, her eyes turned, looking at Charlie, smiling and said: “Charlie ah …… my good son-in-law …… that …… mother has to discuss a matter with you?”
Charlie to Elaine’s routine, has long been familiar with, he did not wait for her to showdown, then directly asked her: “Mom, you want to say that only one dumbbell is not convenient, there must be two, one in each hand for appropriate exercise?”
Elaine slapped her thigh and said excitedly, “Good son-in-law, you still understand me best! You say this dumbbell, it is not a pair right?”
“One in each hand so alternating up and down is called fitness, I only have one, maybe after a while one arm will be thick, one arm thin ……”
Charlie nodded, directly picked up another gold brick, to her arms, said readily: “Come! Take this away! Both of them! All for you!”
