Chapter 289 Bankruptcy
Celestial Technology is so easy to copy.
The engineers of Hammer Industries did not understand the design concept of the two prototypes at all, just like a group of ignorant elementary school students, who could not understand what kind of technical system they were. Not to mention imitations.
They imitate only the outer shell, and inside is their own immature technology.
However, in front of the head of the Ministry of Defense, Hammer Industries said that this is their latest development technology and is the most cutting-edge product of Hammer Industries.
……
Since the fall of Justin Hammer, Hammer Industries' stock has hit rock bottom, and they desperately need a big order to avoid bankruptcy.
In fact, the U.S. Department of Defense has long been dissatisfied with what happened at the Hammer Show, and Congress intends to facilitate the bankruptcy of Hammer Industries and then buy Hammer Industries in the name of the Department of Defense.
Although Jarvis Hammer is gone, the shareholders of Hammer Industries are not willing to fall with him.
Now it is known that the generals of the Ministry of Defense are very optimistic about this equipment, but they do not yet know the origin of this equipment.
Because Luke and the boiled egg have an appointment in advance, the transaction between the two parties is still confidential for the time being.
In the past few days, the generals of the Ministry of National Defense have been asking where the equipment came from and have put forward their willingness to purchase it.
When Hammer Industries learned of the situation, it immediately took a look at it.
Hammer Industries has provided R&D funds to the key people involved in the Department of Defense's procurement plan. The U.S. Department of Defense used to be their closest collaborator, and of course there will be people within who are inclined to them.
Where there are people, there is an exchange of interests.
Some politicians don't care so much, as long as there is a benefit to take, they can also be said to be white.
As a result, Hammer Industries opened the way with money and bribed the evaluators sent by the US Department of Defense, and the information obtained by the top level of the US Department of Defense became that these two types of equipment were actually developed by Hammer Industries.
These two pieces of equipment are newly developed technologies by Hammer Industries, and have developed second-generation products, which are even more technologically superior, and have been ordered by S.H.I.E.L.D. in advance.
When Luke took the sample of Hammer Industries' so-called "product" and opened it, Luke pursed his lips and expressed disdain.
It's a scam at all, a knockoff.
Christina's tests showed that the two copycats of Hammer Industries could not even be put into actual combat.
"It's no wonder."
Luke quickly figured it out.
After all, now that Hammer Industries has been reduced to a leather bag company, Jarvis Hammer's case, and the talent has long been lost, how can it still be able to do the development of such cutting-edge equipment.
I'm afraid that those shareholders now just want to make a fortune before they die. At that time, even if the U.S. military finds out that it has been trapped, it will be too late.
This basin of sewage may splash on him by then.
Luke didn't care at all about what the U.S. Department of Defense would be pitted into and didn't care if he would lose the U.S. Department of Defense's business, what he cared about was that someone actually hit him with the idea and involved him.
In the past, there was Mandarin impostor who carried the black pot, and now there is a Hammer Industrial copycat of his products.
In the long run, Hammer Industries will tarnish the reputation of Apostle Island's products. This is the last thing he can accept.
Luke pondered for a moment, already having a plan in mind.
"Okay, didn't you develop these products, don't regret it." A wicked smile gradually appeared on Luke's lips.
Hammer Industries is in a worse position than he thought, with a loss of talent, but there is still a reason to buy it. What Hammer Industries lacks is talent and technology, but the hardware and foundation are still there.
What's more, Hammer Industries is an established player in the arms industry. He wanted to get into the arms industry, and the Hammer Industries skin was a perfect fit for him.
If it can be operated well this time, not only will there be no loss, but Apostle Island's acquisition of Hammer Industries will not be a problem at all.
Luke didn't wait a day, and the next day he struck.
"Laura and Eddie's Channel" is now well-known in the media world, with many exclusive interviews with the Apostles, even the big regular media outlets.
"Laura and Eddie's Channel" has not only reported the latest movements of the Apostles, but has become a comprehensive news channel with hundreds of millions of followers, and has created a good reputation with its authentic, rich, fast and exclusive content.
On this day, the "Laura and Eddie's Channel" published an article entitled "Who Sells Prohibited Arms to Terrorists?" The explosive news instantly detonated people's eyes.
Eddie Bullock said in the video that there is evidence that some well-known terrorist organizations in the Middle East have recently acquired a batch of advanced equipment. These advanced equipment are even more sophisticated than those used by the U.S. Army.
The video is accompanied by some candid videos of terrorists armed with tactical remote-controlled vehicles and quadcopters running rampant on the battlefield. There's even a clip of the attack on a U.S. military base, in which the terrorists use a vehicle equipped with cutting-edge laser weapons that flies silently like a ghost.
As soon as the news came out, the world was in an uproar.
Who exactly supplied these terrible weapons to the terrorists?
With these horrific tools of killing, terrorists pose a great threat to public safety.
Shouldn't the vehicles in the video that fly silently and even shoot lasers stay in the most advanced laboratories of the U.S. military? How did it come to be in these poor countries of the Middle East?
All the fingers are pointed at the US military.
After all, in the past, only the U.S. military had some sophisticated cutting-edge technology at its disposal. In the impression, the US military is the most well-equipped. The equipment of terrorists is the most backward. Now, in this case, of course, it is the US military that bears the blame.
When the President learned of the situation, he was furious and ordered a thorough investigation into the matter. As it turned out, this has nothing to do with the US military at all.
The U.S. Department of Defense immediately thought of Hammer Industries.
Yes, it must be them, these hateful bastards who only know how to make money all day long, regardless of national security, who sold their advanced weapons and equipment to terrorists!
The most ironic thing is that Hammer Industries' flowery product report is lying on the Secretary of Defense's desk at this moment.
A high-value order is sitting next to it and waiting to be signed.
"Mazefak! I'm going to slaughter these sons of bitch! "The Minister of Defense was so angry that his eyes were green.
On the same day, Hammer Industries was investigated.
The military directly dispatched troops to blockade the factories of Hammer Industries, and detained, confiscated, and took away batches of copycat remote-controlled cars and quadcopters that were preparing to be packed.
The plant was shut down. Hammer Industries' shareholders were ordered to stay at home. The U.S. Department of Defense filed a complaint with the U.S. Supreme Court against these individuals on charges of treason.
The gates of Hammer Industries and in front of the defense department were crowded with news media. On the same day, Hammer Industries' stock plunged and was declared bankrupt.
It's all in Luke's hands.
"It's ready to be acquired." Luke commanded Christina.
