Kaeden's speech certainly showed the world Curtis Autos' ambitions, and the decision to use Curtis' name showed that the two families weren't just betting their reputation on this project, but also Curtis'.After that, Yolden and Matilda took the stage as well. As the CEO and the CLO respectively, they each spoke about their perspective and determination for the project.Matilda's presence alone proved Curtis Autos' determination—no other carmaker had ever appointed an elite veteran lawyer as their CLO off the bat. In fact, most wouldn't even worry about it since one never actually needed legal assistance… That was, until they paid through their nose for it.Like ecommerce, the automotive industry was a hotspot for commercial disputes, and one was always vulnerable to pitfalls without a formidable team of lawyers. It wasn't just a matter of intellectual property—even the names of car models could lead to trademarking and copyright disputes. It was like exporting a car model name, on

After escorting the two patriarchs off the stage, Kaeden returned to the podium, brimming with confidence as he announced. "And now, there will be a PPT presentation as we unveil our forecasted figures for this project."First and foremost, as stated before, our initial investment is set at forty billion USD, which will be the lifeblood for this project."Within the year, we aim to construct a megaplant capable of producing at least 350,000 automotive units in twelve months. That number is projected to be doubled in two years, and following the second phase, which will also be two years long, it will further rise to 1.5 million units."The sheer scale of becoming a carmaker with a 1.5 million unit production capacity certainly left everyone awestruck, as such numbers were rare for any carmaker.It was absolutely unbelievable for a new brand to be this ambitious and reach such numbers, as the carmakers that could reach this level would have established their brand for decades.Howe
Chapter 6690
Everyone was left awestruck simultaneously as the words 'Curtis Automotive' flashed on the screen, many of whom were reminded of a question that was asked many times back in the day.How far and how high would Curtis Wade's accomplishments continue?While most journalists working now wouldn't know that, the realization soon struck—Curtis was Jeremiah Wade's second son!So, this joint project was named in honor of the man who had left many years ago, though it was not surprising that the two families would suddenly choose to work together again after twenty years.After a brief pause, Kaeden sighed emotionally on the stage. "As most might have guessed, Curtis Automotives is named after Curtis Wade, my late brother-in-law. The brand shall inherit his will—an indomitable spirit which never backs down in adversity and always strives to improve to the next level."Both of our families are also ready to go all out to establish Curtis Autos as an international powerhouse. It is our ambit
Chapter 6689
The Ackers and the Wades were investing over thirty times more money into their new car brand compared to Ricebolt! It was a power move through and through—forget Oskia, it was unlikely anyone could invest this much even if it was the automotive industry.The audience behind the screens was all gaping too, with Aurous Hill residents all whooping in excitement. After all, they were talking about a sudden injection of 300 billion Oskian dollars into the city. They could certainly expect everything to improve up to the next level, and each of them would more or less reap some benefits from this.Meanwhile, Kaeden continued on stage, "I'm sure everyone is aware that the Ackeriver Group has recently acquired Godot Autos, which had collapsed due to bankruptcy. That being said, we won't be trying to resuscitate the brand, as our two families have agreed to establish a new one."All of Godot Autos' human resources and hardware will now be assimilated under our new banner, while their name
Chapter 6688
Hearing that the press conference was starting, Claire and Nellie stopped gossiping, while Charlie breathed a sigh of relief.It was truly in a journalist's nature to be a monger for gossip, what with all the news articles they published or read each day. And at the rate she had been spilling information, Nellie might even let slip something vital that might expose Charlie. That included his last name being Wade, and the day his parents were killed, which also happened to be the day he was sent to that orphanage. Fortunately, Claire wasn't one who obsessed over gossip, or she would have noticed the signs with just a little prying. In addition, Charlie's personal information had always been well protected. All the media knew was that Curtis Wade's son had gone missing, but they didn't know the boy's name, or Nellie would have started grilling him no matter how simple-minded she seemed.Nonetheless, the press conference soon began with Kaeden taking the stage as the emcee.

Nellie smiled. "Well, you see, the rumors always had it that Curtis' family died here in Aurous Hill, and that the Ackers and the Wades chose this place for their joint project to memorialize them."Claire was even more shocked, "Wait, Ashley Acker died here, in Aurous Hill? I've read all the articles about her, and people are still talking about her accomplishments stateside, but I never heard about that!"Nellie shrugged. "It makes sense if you have never heard of it. There's basically been a media blackout since what happened to Curtis' family, and it's not just Ashley. Curtis was famous in his own right and accomplished a lot individually as well.""Fair enough, but I don't think I've heard of him," Claire replied, frowning. "I did hear about Ashley because she made a name for herself in Silicon Valley, where she invested in many networking giants when they were just startups."Nellie nodded. "Well, Curtis is less famous, but what he accomplished was nothing short of genius. I
