At this moment, the Shangri-La Hotel.
The auction had already concluded, but Charlie did not leave immediately.
He originally prepared a whole rejuvenation pill for the three VIPs tonight,
Half of which was given to grandfather Wade and the other half was divided into two,
To be given to old Mr. Qinghua and the queen of Northern Europe after the meeting.
This auction could attract so many rich people from Europe and America,
All thanks to these two people who helped to promote the pill and gave endorsement.
Therefore, Charlie deliberately prepared a simple banquet at Shangri-La and invited the three to have a snack.
Zhongquan and Qinghua already knew each other, so the two of them had a good talk at the table,
While the former Nordic Queen Victoria, at this table, was obviously a bit rushed.
Although she was once the empress of a country, but now she has abdicated and lost the halo of the empress.
And tonight at this auction, her self-confidence was not less hit by those crazy bidding rich people behind her,
There is no doubt that she came in by the back door, the value of wealth among these two hundred people it is the absolute bottom of the pile.
And Charlie earned more than 170 billion in one night today by selling the Rejuvenation Pill,
And it was all in US dollars, so sitting at this table right now,
She was flattered and at the same time was also apprehensive.
However, Charlie, who had earned more than one hundred billion, remained humble in front of these three people.
He personally poured wine for the three, rose and raised his cup, politely saying,
“Today, I thank the three of you for coming all the way here and supporting your junior, this cup of wine I toast you!”
The three people coincidentally wanted to stand up, but Charlie said,
“Please sit down, this glass of wine is for me as a junior to toast you all, you must not be polite.”
Qinghua busily said: “Young master Wade, I am a python ……”
As soon as Charlie heard it, he knew that he was going to move to the fate of a story,
And quickly interrupted him and said, “Mr. Lai, the fate of that set, we do not care at this table,”
“If I do not know you, met on the bus also have to get up to give you a seat, you do not need to be too polite with me now.”
Zhongquan rarely enjoyed Charlie’s respect, so he hurriedly advised Qinghua:
“Mr. Lai, just sit down, don’t make things difficult for Charlie.”
Only then did Qinghua nodded and said with a clasped fist, “Young Master Wade, then allow me to be rude!”
Charlie smiled faintly, and looked at the old queen beside him, she at this time is even more nervous and full of apprehension,
Not able to decide whether to sit or stand, her legs slightly hard,
Keeping a bit of distance between her body and chair, half-standing half-sitting.
Charlie said: “Ms. Iliad, it is the same for you too, please sit down.”
Only then did the old queen sat back in her chair and said gratefully,
“I would also like to thank Mr. Wade for his unprecedented invitation,”
“Otherwise I would not have the qualifications to participate in this auction.”
Charlie said with a smile, “I see you have bid a few rounds at the beginning, how do you feel?”
The old queen said with embarrassment: “That is because I was not self-respecting ……”
“I thought I might have a chance to get the first copy of the Rejuvenation Pill by putting up my entire fortune,”
“But I did not expect that the first copy would fetch a sky-high price of two billion dollars,”
“Which has far exceeded the wealth of our entire Iliad family ……”
Charlie faintly smiled: “In fact, invite you to be a VIP, it was with the hope that you could come to the scene to support me,”
“You came to the auction yourself, self-lowering your status, I am thankful.”
The old queen laughed twice, but in her heart, she was thinking,
“What’s the point of degrading myself, if I can get a copy of the Pill, I’d be willing to spend all my money. ……”
She could only say with a humble face, “Mr. Wade is right, I was a bit abrupt.”
Charlie shook his head and said seriously, “I am not saying that you are abrupt,”
“I am saying that there is no need for you to compete with them because you are a VIP,”
“Whether you have more assets than them or not, your position here with me is higher than the two hundred or so of them.”
Hearing this, the old queen felt that her inferiority complex had finally been relieved a little.
Although she was not strong, but since Charlie gave her respect like this, that was indeed enough to straighten her back.
In fact, although she didn’t manage to bid the Rejuvenation Pill tonight, her presence as a VIP did make her feel facetious.
She hurriedly said respectfully, “Thank you, Mr. Wade, for thinking so highly of me.”
“Our entire Iliad family, too, owes its existence to your help, Mr. Wade ……”
After saying that, she hurriedly moved out her granddaughter Helena and said seriously,
“Helena often talks about Mr. Wade in front of me, this time, she has been missing Mr. Wade very much,”
“Also very eager to see Mr. Wade again, but she has now ascended to the throne, with the identity of the Queen restrictions,”
“She can not leave the country at will, please forgive me, Mr. Wade ……”
Charlie also knew that the old queen deliberately mentioned Helena, actually wanted to get close to him.
For this point, Charlie naturally saw through it and said with a smile,
“Please tell Helena that we will definitely meet again in the future.”
The old queen nodded repeatedly and said with an expectant face,
“If Mr. Wade has time, you are always welcome to come to Northern Europe,”
“Although Helena is not very convenient to leave the palace, but the interior of the palace is still very private,”
“You can come to the palace for a few days when you have time.”
Charlie casually promised a sentence: “Okay, I will come later when I have the opportunity.”
After saying that, he looked at the old empress, and then looked at Qinghua, and seriously said,
“By the way, the two old seniors have come from Europe and the United States from far away this time,”
“So you are indeed very kind to the junior, so the junior has also prepared some small gifts for the two of you, please don’t mind.”
After saying that, he took out two rosewood boxes from his pocket and handed them to Qinghua and the old queen respectively.
Both of them seemed to guess that the boxes probably contained the Rejuvenation Pill, so they were both a bit emotional all of a sudden.
Even an old man like Qinghua, who had walked through a hundred years of great storms, still had some difficulty in holding it down.
Charlie spoke at this time: “In these two wooden boxes, there are a quarter of Rejuvenation Pill each,”
“Which is a small token of appreciation, please accept them.”
Hearing that it was indeed the Rejuvenation Pill, the two people’s hands trembled a little.
The old empress had been looking forward to the Rejuvenation Pill for a long time,
And today’s auction had shown her the market price of this elixir,
And she had been so devastated that she thought she might never have the chance to get the Rejuvenation Pill again in her life.
So at this moment, when she saw Charlie take the initiative to give her a copy, tears of excitement came out of her eyes at once.
Although Qinghua had already taken a whole Rejuvenation Pill,
He also knew that it was the reward Charlie had given him after he had broken the trap of the Dragon Trap Shoal for him.
Since Charlie had escaped from the trap of the dragon trap,
He had long since soared to the heavens and would not need to break the trap for him in the future,
So he had thought that he would not have the chance to obtain the Rejuvenation Pill again in his life.
But what he didn’t expect was that Charlie would take the initiative to give him a quarter of a Rejuvenation Pill as a gesture of thanks,
Which also made his heart very excited.
The value of one Rejuvenation Pill, which can prolong life for at least ten to twenty years,
And a quarter of it, which can prolong life for at least three to five years, went up to $38.2 billion at the auction.
And for Qinghua, even if he could give more money, he could not offset the effects of this pill!
Although these three VIPs today, did not dare to hope that this time just to participate in the auction,
They can get the gift of Rejuvenation Pill, but for Charlie, since he invited them over, how can he really let them make a trip for nothing.
A rejuvenation pill was divided into three parts,
Grandfather got half, Mr. Lai and the old queen each got a quarter,
Which in his opinion was also a more reasonable way of distribution.
Among these three, grandfather has not yet eaten the Rejuvenation Pill.
He is not too old, half of the rejuvenation pill will be able to give him a great improvement.
And Charlie himself also left a hand, if he gives grandfather one at a time,
In case the old man in youthful ambition wants to regain control of the Wade family, then it will certainly become trouble.
Give him half a pill at a time, so that he eats the marrow, the future desire for Rejuvenation pill gets higher,
So for the matters of the Wade family, he can also be more cooperative with him.
After all, although they have actually taken over the Wade family,
But the Wade family heirs mostly pull cr0tch, so for many matters, he still needs the old man.
As for Qinghua and the old queen, it is completely out of favor,
The two gave much help in the promotion of the Rejuvenation Pill, it is only right to talk about the feelings.
The old queen was afraid that the night would be too long,
So she didn’t hesitate and ate the rejuvenation pills directly.
She had just awakened from a critical illness some time ago,
And her body was relatively weak, so she couldn’t wait to use the rejuvenation pill to improve it.
After the pill entered her mouth, she really felt indescribably comfortable all over her body,
And her sense of strength was also much stronger, and she instantly regained the state she was in four or five years ago.
Qinghua originally wanted to keep this Rejuvenation Pill, in case there was any use for it in the future.
But seeing that the old queen has eaten it, he is also embarrassed to leave the Rejuvenation pills to take away.
After all, Charlie’s own uncle wanted to spend more than 300 billion to take away a Rejuvenation Pill,
Charlie did not agree, if he takes this Rejuvenation Pill away, it is not really appropriate.
So, he also put this quarter of the Pill into his mouth in front of Charlie.
Although taking the Pill this time was not as shocking as taking a whole one last time,
It still made him obviously feel that his body became a lot younger than the last time.
Two people to Charlie are full of gratitude, Charlie spoke politely two sentences, and then opened everyone to eat.
This meal was eaten by all the guests.
After the meal, after Charlie sent the three back to the administration building,
He said to Zhongquan, “Grandpa, I have something I want to ask you for advice, why don’t we go to your room for a chat.”
“Sure!” Zhongquan readily agreed, and after bidding farewell to the other two, he led Charlie to the room where he lived.
The grandfather and grandson sat across from each other on the sofa, and Charlie asked him,
“Grandpa, the number 99 who was kicked out at the auction today, do you know him?”
Zhongquan said, “No, I don’t know him, why?”
Zhongquan was impressed by that person because that guy scared him so much.
When he opened his mouth and talked of three hundred and seventy billion dollars.
However, he didn’t know what exactly that person’s origin was.
Charlie asked him at this time, “I asked others, and they said, that person is my great uncle, Marshal An.”
“Marshal An? Surprisingly, it was him ……” Zhongquan’s eyes widened and he didn’t come back from the shock for a long time.
Charlie opened his mouth and asked, “You don’t know him?”
Zhongquan smiled sarcastically: “Your grandfather’s family was quite discontented with our Wade family back then,”
“When your mother married here, her mother’s family did not even come,”
“I have never met with your uncles before, only some years ago at the summit in Sweden met your second uncle Marcus,”
“When he was on stage, I was offstage, I saw the real person from afar,”
“Later I thought to get close to him, to visit him But he was not willing to see me.”
It seems that the An family really does not look up to those surnamed Wade.”
Zhongquan mocked, “He does not look up to me, but he said at the time, of the people surnamed Wade, he recognizes you.”
He said, “By the way, your great uncle came to the auction and wanted to take the Rejuvenation Pill away,”
“I don’t know who he intended to buy it for, your grandfather or your grandmother?”
“I’m not sure.” Charlie said, “I don’t have any contact with him yet,
So I don’t know who he is buying the Rejuvenation Pill for.”
Zhongquan said, “Charlie, I think you can make contact with your grandfather’s family, it may not be a bad thing.”
As he said, he added: “But to contact, it is best to start with your grandfather or your second uncle,”
“As far as I know, the An family in this generation, the real right to speak, is your second uncle Marcus,”
“After your mother left the An family, the An family many businesses your second uncle took them over,”
“And also doing very well, your grandfather has long set your second uncle as the successor of the An family. “
Charlie shook his head and said, “I don’t have the idea to meet with them yet, let it be.”
Zhongquan spoke, “The An family is after all one of the top three families in the world,”
“If you can get their support, it will definitely have many benefits for your future development.”
Charlie said indifferently, “Not to mention that I have no intention to identify with them now,”
“Even if the truth is recognized one day, I will not let them support my development,”
“In front of the interests, kinship may not be reliable, this kind of thing is better to rely on others than rely on yourself.”
Said, Charlie remembered something, “Right grandfather, my great uncle’s people are still here,”
“I think if he still wants to get the Rejuvenation pills, he will definitely find a way to contact you,”
“If he finds you, do not disclose my situation to him.”
Zhongquan nodded and asked, “What if he asks me to help him buy the Rejuvenation Pill? How should I reply?”
Charlie said, “This is simple, you can first ask him what he wants the Rejuvenation Pill for,”
“And by the way, promise him that you can help consult, and then just cold-treat him,”
“If he does not ask you, you do not have to reply to him, if he comes to ask you,”
“You can just say that there is no progress, for the time being, just keep hanging him.”
“Okay.”
……
At this time, Marshal is sitting on the sofa in the hotel room, holding a hand-made amulet of Charlie,
Eyes looking out of the window at the night scene of the city, his heart is depressed.
It was a huge regret for him not to be able to take away the Rejuvenation Pill when he came over this time.
Moreover, before he participated in this auction, he had already registered with the identity of ‘Conrad Huo’,
And his face was firmly bound to the identity of ‘Conrad’ with the organizer of the Rejuvenation Pill Auction,
And he was also deprived of the right to continue to participate in the Rejuvenation Pill Auction next year.
Even if he came back next year with a new identity, his face would not be able to pass the organizer’s facial recognition.
In other words, he would not be eligible to come back to this auction in the future.
In case a few years later, when he is dying and also needed the Rejuvenation Pill to renew his life,
There is no way to attend the auction in person, which meant that there is no chance of getting the Pill with any amount of money.
When he thought of this, he wanted to go to Warnia of the Song Group and plead with her in person,
Asking her to give a message to the owner of the Rejuvenation Pill to turn a blind eye.
But when he thought that he had offered US$370 billion in cash on the spot, and the owner of the Rejuvenation Pill was still unmoved,
He gave up the idea of seeking humiliation any further.
After thinking about it, he decided to look for a breakthrough from Elder Wade for the time being.
After all, the Wade family was also one of the organizers of the Rejuvenation Pill auction this time,
And Elder Wade was also invited as a VIP and also took half of the Rejuvenation Pill in public,
So he should be very familiar with the owner behind the Pill.
Moreover, the An family and the Wade family had been relatives after all,
So it would always be useful for Zhongquan to help put in a good word in front of the owner of the Rejuvenation Pill.
If he is slightly mindful of his old feelings.
So, he immediately said to his attendant, “Go and ask for Zhongquan Wade’s contact information immediately!”
For ordinary people, to get the contact information of a top tycoon like Zhongquan Wade, it is basically as hard as reaching the sky.
However, for Marshal, it was not difficult to inquire about Zhongquan’s contact information.
Soon, he got the required cell phone number.
Immediately after, he did not hesitate to call.
At this moment, Zhongquan was chatting with Charlie,
When the phone rang, he picked it up and looked at it, and found that it was an American number,
so he could not help but frown and said to Charlie: “Charlie, I’ll take a call.”
Charlie nodded and made a gesture of, please.
Zhongquan picked up the phone and spoke, “Hello, who is it?”
On the other end of the phone, Marshal said with a smile, “Hello Uncle Wade!”
Zhongquan instantly with some doubts getting a strange number, and directly being called Uncle Wade, he thought is it the child of some deceased relative?
He was surprised when he suddenly felt that the other party’s voice sounded familiar.
It felt as if it was the same man who was expelled by Warnia at the auction today.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly made a mouth shape to Charlie, and the mouth shape gestured only one word: Marshal.
Then, while turning on the speaker, he asked, “Which one are you?”
Marshal said humbly, “Uncle Wade, I’m Marshal An, Margaret is my real sister.”
“Huh?” Zhongquan asked in mock surprise, “You …… you are Margaret’s brother?”
“Right.” Marshal busily said, “We have a total of five siblings, I am the second in line.”
Zhongquan suddenly realized: “So that’s how …… you have my phone number?”
Marshal explained, “I asked someone to inquire about your phone number,”
“So I called you, if there is any presumption, please do not take offense.”
“It’s fine.” Zhongquan sighed, “After all, Margaret is the daughter-in-law of our Wade family,”
“And you are her brother, so you are a relative of our family, so you don’t have to be so polite with me.”
If before today, Zhongquan had said these words to the An family, he would have been scoffed at by the An family.
Because except for Margaret, the other An family members did not consider the Wade family members as relatives at all.
When Zhongquan, as an elder, took the initiative to get close to Charlie’s second uncle at the Swedish summit,
And was disliked, it was evident that the An family really did despise the Wade family.
However, Marshal now has to beg for Zhongquan, so when he heard Zhongquan’s words, his heart suddenly sighed with relief.
He felt that the Wade family’s senior, indeed, still gave a face to the An family.
This also made him relax a lot, so he said over the phone, “Uncle Wade, you’re right, our two families are relatives,”
“But we haven’t had much contact over the years, so we should have more contact in the future.”
“Yes, yes, yes.” Zhongquan is also an old fox, naturally, he will not lose to anyone,
So he said very politely: “Marshal, you suddenly find my phone to contact me, there must be something,”
“We are all family, let’s not be so polite, what is the matter you just say.”
Marshal said with a smile, “Uncle Wade is really a quick person, then I will not be polite with you!”
“I heard that the Wade family also participated in the auction of the Rejuvenation Pill in Aurous Hill,”
“And I also heard that you were a VIP at the auction, is there such a thing?”
Zhongquan said with a smile, “Only so much, what’s wrong? You are also interested in this auction?”
Marshal said, “Uncle Wade, I’m not going to hide it from you,”
“I want to ask you to help me introduce the owner of the Rejuvenation Pill,”
“I want to ask him for a Rejuvenation Pill, the price and everything is not a problem, do you think it’s convenient?”
When Zhongquan heard this, he said in a difficult manner, “Oh, Marshal, you don’t know how hot this Rejuvenation Pill is now!”
“At today’s auction, someone even offered a price of 370 billion dollars just for a Rejuvenation Pill.”
Marshal’s heart was embarrassed beyond words, his mouth hurriedly stated,
“Uncle Wade, as long as the other party is willing to sell, money is not a problem for me,”
“It’s just that I can’t contact the owner of the Rejuvenation Pill right now,”
“That’s why I called to ask for your help ……”
Zhongquan remembered Charlie’s previous explanation, so he asked curiously,
“Marshal, those who buy the Rejuvenation Pill are all old men who are seventy or eighty years old,”
“You are younger than Margaret, so young, why do you still have to buy the Rejuvenation Pill?”
Marshal said, “Uncle Wade, I don’t want to buy the Rejuvenation Pill for my own use.”
Zhongquan asked, “Is there something wrong with your father or mother’s health?”
Marshal smiled and said, “Uncle Wade, the family’s situation is a bit special,”
“So it’s not very convenient to disclose, so please forgive me.”
Zhongquan then said, “Marshal, if it is true that the in-laws’ elders have any health problems,”
“You must not be embarrassed to share, this kind of thing I, as an in-law, will certainly do my best to help.”
Marshal said gratefully, “Thank you, Uncle Wade, I would like to ask you to help me make a connection now,”
“Can you see if you can let me meet with the owner of the Rejuvenation Pill?”
Zhongquan asked him, “Where are you? When do you want to meet?”
Marshal wanted to continue to lie, but once he thought that once Zhongquan could really help him make a connection,
And let him meet with the owner of the Rejuvenation Pill, the other party would definitely recognize him,
And then he might be displeased with the other party for hiding something.
So, he hesitated for a moment and then said, “Uncle Wade, let me tell you the truth,”
“I am now at Shangri-La in Aurous Hill, and the one who offered US$370 billion at the auction before it was me ……”
“Ah?!” Zhongquan is also an old actor, pretending to be surprised and asked,
“Marshal, that person who was expelled is you ah!”
“Yes ……” Marshal said awkwardly, “Originally, I wanted to offer a high price to buy the Rejuvenation Pill away,”
“But I didn’t expect the other party to pay so much attention to the rules and directly expelled me from the stage ……”
Zhongquan spoke, “This way Marshal, I understand your needs, that is,”
“You want to meet with the owner of the Rejuvenation Pill to see if you can buy one privately, right?”
“Yes!” Marshal busily said, “The price is fine, 370 billion if it’s too little, I can still add more!”
Zhongquan sighed and said, “Marshal, you don’t understand many things,”
“The owner of the Rejuvenation Pill has a very odd personality, he doesn’t think much of money,”
“And he is a man who can’t be seen, even I don’t have his contact information, he contacts me for when he has something,”
“So this matter you mentioned, I can only wait for him to contact me, try to help you communicate with him.”
“I can only try to help you communicate with him when he contacts me,”
“But when to communicate, if the communication could be done, this I can not guarantee you.”
Marshal asked: “Uncle Wade, do you know the name of this person?”
“If it’s not inconvenient for you, you can also reveal some information to me, and I will check it out myself.”
Zhongquan glanced at Charlie, then said, “Sorry Marshal, this person’s information I really do not know,”
“So, you wait patiently first, if there is news, I will give you the call first time!”
Seeing that Marshal was unwilling to reveal the purpose of buying the medicine,
Zhongquan followed Charlie’s previous instructions and prepared to first casually promise, and then treat him with a delaying tactic.
Marshal also knew in his heart that Zhongquan must be hiding something from him,
So he spoke: “Uncle Wade if you can help with this matter, the An family will not treat you poorly!”
“I heard that the Wade family lost a lot of money because of the Cataclysmic Front,”
“So if the An family helps, it won’t take long to make up for the loss!”
Marshal thought he knew very well the mentality of the rich and powerful who suddenly plummeted in value,
The mentality of many rich and powerful, in fact, is no different from that of a gambler,
Once a huge fluctuation in assets, the mentality will change greatly.
The Wade family lost half of its fortune at once,
Zhongquan, the head of the family is bound to scratch his heart and soul, thinking of recovering this part of the loss.
However, it is easy to lose half of the family fortune overnight,
But to recover this half of the family fortune, it may take ten or twenty years or even longer.
If the An family slightly pulls Zhongquan with a hand, then he will certainly be grateful.
Marshal with this speculation can not be considered wrong, but he completely misjudged the Wade family’s situation.
If the Wade family really lost half of the family fortune,
Zhongquan must be racking his brains to try to make up for the loss.
But the actual situation is that the Wade family strength did not receive any impact,
On the contrary, if you count Charlie’s strength, his assets, and connections, the Wade family’s strength is more than doubled.
Therefore, he had little feeling about this olive branch thrown by Marshal.
So, he righteously said to him: “Marshal, we are relatives, you might think that I do not want to help you,”
“let alone want to use this to negotiate with you on any terms, even if I beg him in this matter,”
“It is really not within my ability, what I can do is to help you inquire, but what comes from the other side is not in my hands.”
Marshal remember when Zhongquan is always rushing to cooperate with the An family,
But every time it was good, the old man did not hesitate to refuse.
He did not expect, now he represents the An family, extends to Zhongquan an olive branch and he did not buy it.
When he thought that the old man was trying to catch him, thinking how to change his words, Charlie gave Zhongquan a gesture to hang up,
And Zhongquan immediately said to Marshal: “Marshal I have something to do, let’s talk some other time.”
After saying that, without waiting for Marshal’s response, he directly hung up the phone.
Marshal at the other end of the phone was a bit caught off guard.
The person who hung up on him so rudely, other than the old man, it seems that there has never been another person.
When he was annoyed and uncertain, Zhongquan on the other side put the phone back into his pocket and said to Charlie:
“The An family is indeed used to being arrogant, they avoided me as a poor relative some years ago,”
“But now that they are asking me to do something, the arrogance in their bones has not changed.”
Charlie lightly said, “This great uncle of mine can shout out on the spot to take away the Rejuvenation Pill with 370 billion,”
“You can see that they are indeed arrogant, so arrogant that they do not put the rules set by others in their eyes,”
“Always think that as long as there is enough money, any rule will be changed for them.”
Speaking here, Charlie smiled slightly and said casually, “It doesn’t matter, since they feel good about themselves, just let them be.”
Then, he said, “Right grandpa, I have to go to the United States in a couple of days,”
“I may not come back until a month or so, so it will be hard for you to take care of the affairs of the Wade family.”
Zhongquan asked curiously, “Charlie, why are you suddenly going to the United States?”
“You’re not going to visit the An family, are you?”
Charlie shook his head and laughed: “Why? I am accompanying Claire to attend a training.”
Zhongquan nodded and said, “Okay, don’t worry about the Wade family, as for your uncle’s side,”
“I won’t rush to find him anyway, if he wants to find me, I definitely won’t see him either.”
“Okay.” Charlie stood up and said, “Grandpa, it’s getting late, you should rest early,”
“I should also go home, when are you going back to Eastcliff, I will go to the airport to see you off.”
Zhongquan said, “No need to toss and turn, I am an elderly person who sleeps less,”
“I wake up naturally at five o’clock, after waking up, just eat something,”
“Let Issac send me to the airport, you don’t have to come to see me off.”
Charlie thought, five or six o’clock to the airport is still a bit early, so he nodded and said,
“Grandpa, in that case, then I will not see you off, when I come back from the United States, then I will come to Eastcliff to see you.”
……
The next day.
The vast majority of the bidders who participated in the auction returned to where they came from one after another with the legend of the Rejuvenation Pill.
Although Marshal checked out of the Shangri-La Hotel, he did not leave Aurous Hill immediately but planned to touch base with Warnia again.
Coincidentally, Charlie also went to Song’s Group early this morning, and he wanted to touch base with her on matters related to the post-auction.
When he came to Warnia’s office, she handed Charlie a copy of the information prepared in advance and said to him,
“Master Wade, in yesterday’s auction, we received $148.7 billion in actual auction revenue in the auction portion of the Rejuvenation Pill,”
“And another $28 billion, which was Mr. Elnor’s installment;”
“followed by the four amulets you made, which fetched a total of 530 million dollars;”
“Lastly is our collection relief, which fetched a total of three hundred and sixty-five million dollars.”
Speaking of this, Warnia said with some embarrassment,
“Master Wade, I’m really sorry, Antique Hall’s resources are still a bit lacking in terms of ordinary artwork,”
“The best we could find basically took out, but compared to Sotheby’s and Christie’s, the top auction houses, there is still a big gap,”
“So the amount sold is not really high ……”
Charlie said with a smile: “It does not matter, the reason why there is still a shortage this time,”
“It is because Antique Hall popularity has not yet played out, but now, Antique Hall in the world’s top wealthy groups must have made a great reputation,”
“Next year when preparing for the auction, just need to let the wind out in advance,”
“Those who hold the top art will certainly come to Antique Hall in droves to cooperate with you.”
Warnia nodded and said seriously, “Master Wade, for this auction, thank you so much!”
“Thank you for giving me and Antique Hall this opportunity, thanks to you, Antique Hall can have such an opportunity to soar to the sky……”
Charlie waved his hand and said, “Warnia, we are in a cooperative relationship, through cooperation, we take what we need,”
“Mutual benefit and grow together, you should not say thank you one after another.”
Warnia nodded her head slightly in gratitude, then hurriedly said,
“Okay Master Wade, in this auction, the revenue from the Rejuvenation Pill and the amulet added up to 149.23 billion dollars;”
“However, at the moment, from a financial perspective, there are no costs behind the revenue of more than 140 billion dollars:”
“If we have no costs, basically it is all net profit, to pay corporate income tax at 25%, you see how this should be reasonably and legally coordinated?”
“The raw materials for making the Rejuvenation Pill on your side,”
“As well as the costs incurred in the production process, can they be included?”
Charlie laughed: “How much do the raw materials cost? With 149.23 billion dollars in revenue,”
“The 0.3 billion dollars after the decimal point is too much, not to mention that I made the production process myself,”
“So it’s impossible to quantify the cost.”
Warnia was shocked speechless and said,
“Master Wade, you really do not consider doing the planning? This is more than thirty billion dollars ……”
Charlie waved his hand and said firmly, “No, just do as I said, pay taxes according to the net profit.”
Warnia took a deep breath, nodded, and said, “Okay Master Wade, I’ll talk to the finance later to make it clear.”
Charlie nodded and added: “Okay Warnia, in addition to all the money Elnor allotted before,”
“Then in the name of the auction, help me take out ten billion dollars and donate it to the China Charity Federation,”
“But have to specify that half of this money should be used for the living,”
“Education and medical care of poor and young people under eighteen years olds,”
“And infants, orphans, and the other half should be used for medical care of old age, poor, widows, orphans and handicapped elderly over the age of 70,”
“And there is another requirement that they do not release the donor information to the public.”
Warnia was stunned speechless, but in her heart, she was exclaiming, “This is $10 billion ah …… really want to donate so roughly?”
Charlie followed up, “Right, donate another billion dollars to Aurous Hill,”
“The use is not limited, as long as it is helpful to the development of Aurous Hill, just use it for anything.”
Warnia’s heart trembled as she listened.
She has seen people doing charity, but really never seen such charity.
But Charlie is not finished at this point.
He remembered something and said: “Right Warnia, I also want to build a large orphanage in Aurous Hill,”
“The requirement is to accommodate at least more than 10,000 orphans, in addition to providing them with good life security,”
“But also to build supporting kindergartens, as well as twelve-year consistent school;”
“All the construction costs, manpower costs, teacher costs, daily maintenance costs, all of them are paid by me,”
“And the teacher team must be of excellent quality, not only to provide the children with excellent life and education,”
“But also to allow them to read from kindergarten all the way to high school graduation without any discrimination.”
“In addition, all children who go to university from this orphanage,”
“All university tuition and fees, living expenses are borne by the orphanage:”
Speaking of this, Charlie turned his words and said,
“In addition, all children who enter university from here must sign an agreement with the orphanage,”
“And in the future, after graduating from university or master’s or doctoral degree, they must return to work in Aurous Hill for at least five years,”
“So that they can contribute to the development of this city.”
Although Charlie is not a native of Aurous Hill, he has long regarded this city as his second hometown.
He has lived here for nearly twenty years, and now that he has some ability, he really wants to do something for the city.
Especially for the orphans in Aurous Hill, as well as the surrounding cities.
This orphanage and 12-year school complex is a dream that he wants to try to realize.
He actually often thinks back to his life in the orphanage, and those little friends there.
He often thinks of his former self, his co-inhabitants, some of whom went astray.
Before Leon found him, everything was actually not much good.
The biggest reason for this is that he has actually not undergone a very good higher education.
Of course, this is not to blame the orphanage, nor Leon.
After all, the orphanage itself can give these children shelter from the rain,
And ensure that they are fed and clothed, it is already very impressive,
No orphanage also managed these children to study in college after adulthood.
Although Leon had the ability to manage, but for the normal operation of the orphanage everything was kept low-key,
But he also dare not let the orphanage conditions look too out of ordinary.
Moreover, in those days, most of the orphanages because of the funds had conditions somewhat difficult.
Because of this, although Charlie’s middle school and high school studies were very good,
But after graduating from high school, in order to let the other younger siblings in the facility live a little better,
They went into the community early to work.
At that time, although Leon lamented this, but also felt that this was more beneficial than harmful to Charlie.
Because, a working Charlie and a University student Charlie, compared to the latter must be more exposed to the chances of something.
In this layer of consideration, Leon did not interfere with Charlie’s decision.
Now, Charlie does not have the worries that Leon had, so he intends to build such a utopian orphanage,
Not only to let these children have a good basic education, and the opportunity to receive higher education,
But also to let these children know how to be grateful, and in the future to contribute to the development of the city’s own strength.
Warnia could probably understand Charlie’s idea, so she said, “Master Wade, don’t worry,”
“I will definitely communicate with the city as soon as possible,”
“To see if we can help solve the problem of site selection and related qualifications.”
Charlie nodded and instructed, “The place can be remote, but the area must be large, we want to accommodate more than 10,000 children,”
“Their living, learning and daily leisure, arts and sports activities, in addition, also need to settle the relevant staff and take care of their accommodation and living problems,”
“Its scale should be at least as large as a 10,000 people level university, and possibly even larger.”
Warnia said: “Master Wade don’t worry, I will discuss this matter with the city administration in detail,”
“You want to do such a big good deed, the city will definitely be very supportive.”
Charlie sighed: “I am hoping that through our Rejuvenation Pill auction, the entire international popularity of Aurous Hill and the degree of economic development, are brought up to a level,”
“And when the winter snow side of those high-end projects are determined when the time comes to call this group of rich people again to Aurous Hill,”
“Let them do their best to invest in Aurous Hill property, at that time, the city will certainly leap to become a charm for them!”
Warnia laughed: “When the popularity of the Rejuvenation Pill continues to spread,”
“By then, I’m afraid that all the rich people in the world will have to come to Aurous Hill to invest ……”
Charlie said confidently, “Don’t worry, this day will come soon.”
Warnia nodded and suddenly remembered something, so she asked Charlie:
“Master Wade, by then this orphanage, who are you going to give the operation to?”
“Will we hand it over to the city to operate after we build it all, or will you set up your own operating team?”
Charlie hesitated for a moment and said, “I personally prefer to let an aunt from the orphanage be in charge.
With higher education, with what I know about her, she should be able to handle it.”
Speaking of this, Charlie could not help but sigh again,
“It’s just that she has now gone to Canada to take care of herself, I can’t quite bear to make her work hard and bother again.”
Warnia thought about it and said, “Master Wade, the scale of your project is still very large,”
“Even if we have no problem with the funds, the hardware from site selection to construction to completion and acceptance,”
“It will take at least two to three years since you tend to build our own team to operate,”
“Then I think the person in charge of the matter is not in a hurry to set down immediately,”
“We have plenty of time to slowly We have plenty of time to slowly change it.”
“Also.” Charlie nodded and said, “You first touch program with the city, let’s try to complete the site as soon as possible,”
“And then as soon as possible to get the project design out!”
“Okay.” Warnia said, “I’ll go discuss it as soon as possible.”
Thinking of Auntie Li, Charlie thought of giving her and Xiaofen a call to ask them how they were doing lately.
Charlie calculated that the two of them were settled in Vancouver,
Which was 16 hours later than China, and it should be around six o’clock in the afternoon right now,
So the time should not disturb their rest.
So, he said to Warnia, “Warnia, I’ll make a phone call first.”
“Okay Master Wade.”
Charlie picked up his phone and found Xiaofen’s WeChat, so he sent her a voice chat.
There was a quick connection, and Xiaofen’s delighted voice came out, “Brother Charlie! How come you want to call me!”
Charlie laughed: “I miss you and Auntie Li, so I called to ask how you guys are doing in Canada, are you getting used to it?”
Xiaofen smiled and said, “We’re fine here, I am working in a laundry in Chinatown,”
“Auntie Li is raising flowers and vegetables in her yard every day,”
“Auntie Li’s previous employer gives her a lot of money every month, but she thinks it’s too meaningless to be idle every day,”
“Plus the money in her account is getting bigger and bigger, so she opened a convenience store,”
“I am now the store manager and cashier of the store!”
Charlie was surprised and asked: “You opened a convenience store? Is it just you and Auntie Li?”
Xiaofen said, “At the beginning, there were only two of us, but after getting on track, we were a little too busy, so we recruited another clerk.”
Charlie asked, “Running a convenience store must be very tiring, right?”
“It’s okay.” Xiaofen said with a smile: “Our convenience store is the same as the size of our domestic convenience stores,”
“And there is a special supplier, a phone call and they directly bring material to the store,”
“But we also do not need to personally go out for it, the daily work is also very simple,”
“It is all just to collect money, stocking, cleaning, nothing else. “
“Auntie Li is very energetic, she is good and polite, and also helpful,”
“So although the store opened not long, but the customers have been a lot!
Charlie asked: “Aunt Li is in? I’ll have a chat with her.”
Xiaofen said, “Auntie Li has gone to the community nursery class to help.”
“Nursery class?” Charlie asked curiously, “What kind of place is it?”
Xiaofen explained, “This side is called DayCare, in fact, similar to our domestic nursery,”
“In many Chinese families here both parents have to work,”
“And most parents are just over the struggle of the first generation of immigrants,”
“The elderly can not come to help, for the time being, so the children can only be given to the nursery care during the day;”
“The community in Chinatown organized a semi-public welfare nursery class to help these parents take care of their children on weekdays,”
“Auntie Li has been working in the orphanage for so many years, she knows the best way to take care of children, and she loves children,”
“And knows that the nursery class is short of staff, so she volunteered to help, and now she is the most popular in the nursery class!”
Charlie could not help but sigh: “People like Auntie Li are really like candles,”
“No matter where they are, they will burn themselves and light up others ……”
“Who says it’s not.” Xiaofen said with a smile, “Brother Charlie, Auntie Li usually always talks about you,”
“She misses you …… and I also …… I also especially miss you… …If you have time, remember to visit and see us!”
