The Amazing son in law Chapter 6805
The legal department’s responsibilities are vast, with intellectual property rights taking precedence. This necessitates having a highly experienced legal expert at the helm.
Charlie Wade has great faith in Matilda’s legal expertise, particularly given her extensive experience in the U.S. legal system. As Bruce Automobile aims for global expansion, it is crucial that the legal team is well-versed in Western laws. Entering foreign markets means facing local competitors who may resort to legal tactics to hinder outsiders, and host governments might implement unfair regulations to limit foreign companies and protect local businesses.
For this reason, companies operating overseas must have seasoned legal professionals ready to take legal action or respond swiftly at any time.
Charlie Wade felt that Paul, despite his youth, lacked the necessary experience. Moreover, with his own family law firm to run, it would be unreasonable to expect him to abandon it. Thus, the best course of action was to bring Matilda on board with Bruce Automobile to oversee legal affairs.
At this point, Matilda was unaware of the discussions taking place and was oblivious to the underlying intentions behind their conversation.
Curious, she asked, “Charlie Wade, what do you envision for me as the vice president of legal affairs? Are you starting a new venture?”
With a smile, Charlie Wade replied, “Aunt Matilda, let Professor Hank fill you in on the details once he returns.”
He then turned to Hank and inquired, “What are your thoughts on my proposal?”
Hank recognized Matilda’s qualifications and knew her joining Bruce Automobile would be immensely beneficial. Since she was now fully retired, spending her days teaching at the Senior University, exercising, and gardening, she had ample time. However, he was uncertain if she would accept the offer.
So, he assured Charlie Wade, “Don’t worry, I’ll have a thorough discussion with Aunt Matilda later.”
Noticing the lack of clarity, Matilda smiled and teased Hank, “What secrets are you two keeping? Are you trying to build suspense?”
Hank feigned mystery, saying, “I have a significant secret to share. Let’s go inside and talk!”
“Alright,” Matilda agreed, and the two bid farewell to Charlie Wade. After watching him drive away, they returned to the villa.
Once home, Matilda helped Hank settle on the sofa and served him tea, asking, “Old He, what are you and Charlie Wade planning?”
Hank replied earnestly, “Dear, I’m considering resigning from the university.”
“Resign?” Matilda exclaimed in surprise. “Didn’t you previously express your intention to teach until retirement? What prompted the sudden change?”
Hank expressed his thoughts, “While teaching shapes the next generation for our country, it feels a bit indirect compared to the path of industrial leadership. Charlie Wade wants to invest in a new energy vehicle company and has invited me to be the CEO. I’ve agreed!”
Matilda was taken aback, exclaiming, “Charlie Wade…he’s looking to invest in a new energy vehicle company?! But…that’s an investment in the tens of billions. How can he afford that?”
“Hundreds of billions,” Hank corrected her, “is merely the starting point. The total planned investment is expected to exceed 300 billion yuan, with the initial phase requiring over 150 billion, half of which Charlie Wade will cover.”
Stunned, Matilda replied after a moment, “I’m confused, Old He. While Charlie Wade is indeed a capable young man, how can he possibly manage an investment of this magnitude? Did you both indulge a bit too much today?”
Hank looked at Matilda and asked, “Dear, when you and Paul’s father were starting your business in the U.S., you had many interactions in the American financial and venture capital circles. Reflecting on that time, who was the most prominent Chinese figure you encountered in those circles?”
