At this time, Yolden sighed as he said emotionally, "It i s simply impossible for me to be able to finish talking about all of your mother's successful investment and cases back then. If you have the opportunity to head t o Silicon Valley one day, and if you look for any of the bosses of any top global group and tell him that your mother’s name is Ashley Layna Acker, they will certainly use their highest standard of etiquette to receive you and treat you as their most distinguished guest..." 4
Charlie sighed as he said, "If I had not met you, I would have never have known all these things about my mother..."
Yolden looked at Charlie before he smiled slightly and said, "Your mother’s vision and long-term strategy and planning are far beyond any of our reach.”
"Truthfully, back then, many of us did not even understand your mother’s investment strategies or operations. This was because many of the companies that she invested in did not seem like it would have any developmental prospects to us."
"Take Apple for instance. When your mother invested i n Apple, all of us felt that this company had no future a t all. At that time, there was no iPhone or even iPod at
all. Apple was already stuck in a huge business predicament at that time."
"Moreover, your mother had already returned to Oskia with your father, and she had already given birth to you. At that time, Steve Jobs had just returned to take charge of Apple. Everyone felt that it would be impossible for Apple to rise up, but when your mother heard the news that Steve Jobs was trying to raise funds, she totally disregarded the distance and flew back to the United States. She only spoke to Steve Jobs for an afternoon before she made her decision to invest her money in him."
"Her prescience and foresight far exceed 99.9% of ordinary people. So, she is definitely a great master and strategist in the business world!"
As he spoke, Yolden smiled slightly before he continued, "Even the Rothschild family, who had already conquered the business world for more than two hundred years, was also filled with awe and admiration for your mother. You might now know this, but the Rothschild family truly hoped that they would be able to join hands in marriage with the Acker family back then..."
Charlie nodded slightly. He finally understood why his father, Curtis, had fought back and forth with the Rothschild family. 3
In truth, the strength and power of the Wade family was nothing to the Rothschild family at all.
As Yolden had said, all of the properties and assets that the Wade family had gained from their hard work over the years might not even be comparable to the income that the Rothschild family could easily gain b y investing in a few companies.
In that case, if his father could withstand the pressure of the Rothschild family, his mother's help and even his mother's family’s help would be absolutely indispensable, then.
At this time, Yolden looked at Charlie before he said seriously, "So, I would like to sincerely recommend that you head to the United States to meet with your grandfather. If your grandfather is willing to help you, neither the Schulz family nor the Wade family would b e worth mentioning at all, then.” 4
Charlie nodded slightly, but he replied very firmly," Thank you, Professor Hart. However, I have no plans t o go to the United States to meet with my grandfather. In fact, I have only met him a few times, and it has already been so many years. He might not necessarily feel any family ties or affection towards me. Moreover, as you have said, he has always been brooding because my mother decided to marry my father back then. Therefore, he might not even like me at all."
Speaking of this, Charlie laughed at himself in a self-deprecating manner as he said, "Although I was simply a poor pauper for many years, now, I hope that I will be able to move forward step by step based on m y own ability and strength. Regardless of whether it is the Schulz family or the Wade family, if either one of them would have to bear the responsibility for my parents' death, I truly hope that I would be able to rely on my own strength to defeat them on my own!"
Yolden could only sigh when he heard Charlie's words. After that, he said, "Charlie, I understand what you are thinking of, and I understand your determination too. However, there is still a long way for you to achieve all this with the current cards in your hands!" s
With that being said, Yolden added, "Besides, the ocean shipping industry is a very large-scale project. The start-up capital in itself might already cost you tens of billions of dollars. So, I want to advise you to be more cautious."
