Charlie Wade smiled and remarked, “This time, the business volume is quite substantial. I’ve visited several houses and factories back-to-back, primarily because this customer is quite influential.”
“Oh wow!” ine eximed joyfully. “So, you must be receiving a hefty payment from such a strong customer, right?”
“Absolutely,” Charlie Wade nodded casually. “This customer is very generous. Before he even returned, he paid an additional million for carriage fees.”
ine gasped, “My goodness! He just handed over a million for carriage fees? What kind of incredible customer is this?”
Jacob, who was listening nearby, chimed in, “Now that’s what I call a wealthy individual! If someone were to give me an extra million, I’d treat him like royalty. Isn’t that just extravagant?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
At that moment, ine had a thought and quickly turned to Charlie Wade, saying, “Good son-inw, I read in the news that the youngest son of India’s richest man got married, and the pre-wedding festivities alone cost over 100 million US dors—equivalent to more than one billion RMB! Imagine if you could find such a client and offer him feng shui advice for choosing a wedding venue; that could mean tens of millions for you!”<fn1e46> Th?s chapter is updated by find?novel</fn1e46>
Charlie Wade chuckled sheepishly. He could only nod in agreement, “That’s probably true, but I don’t know any clients in India. I doubt I could make that kind of money.”
Jacob patted Charlie Wade on the back and urged him to sit on the sofa. “Good son-inw, you have a keen perspective. If we only cater to Chinese clients, it limits our view. Our Chinese civilization has a rich history, yet many foreigners don’t believe in it. It’s fine if they don’t, but it’s disheartening to see many young people in our country dismiss the wisdom of our ancestors. They’d rather delve into zodiac signs and tarot cards instead of exploring our own heritage. So, why not introduce our feng shui and I Ching Bagua to the world?”
Charlie Wade considered Jacob’s words and found them reasonable, although he felt it was somewhat idealistic. Both Eastern and Western cultures have deep-rooted histories, with the West having enjoyed significant cultural and economic exchanges since thete World War II era. Their modern culture has be globally dominant, while aspects of feng shui and I Ching may still have a long journey ahead to gain traction in the West.
However, Charlie Wade chose not to argue and simply smiled, saying, “Dad, you make a valid point. Cultural confidence and sharing our culture are both essential. When opportunities arise, I will certainly promote feng shui overseas.”
Jacob sighed, “Sometimes, I feel the urge to devote my old bones to promoting our rich history and culture worldwide!”
He continued, his excitement building, “If I understood feng shui like you do, I’d go to the White House in the United States to share my expertise! Just imagine—an invitation to help improve their feng shui! American TV could report on how Jacob, a feng shui master from China, was summoned by the President to solve feng shui issues at the White House, and his skills being praised by the President… that would be incredible!”
ine interjected, “Jacob, are you promoting culture or betraying your country? You think you can just waltz into the White House with feng shui advice? Why not help Souna next door be famous instead?”
Jacob responded sheepishly, “I’m just joking around! If I truly were a feng shui master, I wouldn’t be helping Souna. It would be better for her to seek professional guidance!”
Seeing the two of them bickering again, Charlie Wade shook his head in amusement.
Just then, his phone buzzed in his pocket. He checked and saw that it was a video call from his wife, ire!
