Chapter 293: Hearings
Luke looked like "Do you think I'm kidding you?" The serious expression made the boiled egg speechless for a while.
On the communication screen, Hill re-entered, nodded to the boiled egg and said something.
Hearing this, the boiled egg nodded slightly and motioned for Hill to go out.
After being silent for a while, Lu Dan faced Luke Zhengse and said, "Half a year, a thousand peacekeeping-type and medical-type wind mechas, each. Let's talk about the price. ”
The content of Hill's report is that the technical department has evaluated this mecha and believes that this mecha is very good, and if those technical parameters are true, it will be of great significance to S.H.I.E.L.D. If these mechs were to replace the agents, they could save a lot of money every year and save the lives of many agents.
The boiled egg believes that the technical parameters given by Luke are true and credible.
As for Luke's statement that he could build 2,000 mecha in half a month, he still didn't want to believe it. So after thinking about it, I still gave half a year.
Luke shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said that you will know when the time comes.
"The price, we can talk slowly."
Luke said, the corners of his mouth rising in a slight arc. It's time to blackmail the eggs again......
The bargaining process is not repeated.
In the end, the agreed price reached by the two parties was that S.H.I.E.L.D. would pay a $10 billion deposit first, and then the remaining balance would be $68 billion, to be paid in five years.
Originally, the boiled egg wanted to pay off the full amount in ten years, after all, the total value was 78 billion US dollars, which was an astronomical amount even for S.H.I.E.L.D. No matter how much money there is in the private house of the boiled egg, it is not enough to take out this money casually.
If it is divided into ten years, it will not be a problem.
But Luke, for his part, disagreed.
Pay off in ten years? Are you kidding!
There are still a few years before Thanos is coming, and the daylily will be cold for another ten years. This money was important to him, and it was what he had prepared for the preparation of Gaiboga.
Predictably, the manufacture of Geboga must have been an epic project. The amount of money needed is probably a bottomless pit. It can't be made without hundreds of billions of estimates.
Only 78 billion is simply not enough. Not to mention paying it off in ten years, five years is considered a friendship price. There is still time left to build, and it is estimated that Thanos will come soon after it is built.
Therefore, at Luke's insistence, the boiled egg could only agree to pay in five instalments. During this time, it is estimated that S.H.I.E.L.D. will have to tighten its belts in the whole world, and the benefits will be greatly reduced.
Luke believes that with the degree of blackness of boiled eggs, it is absolutely possible to deduct employees' wages and plug the financial holes.
The boiled egg was suddenly stunned and came back to his senses.
He was going to ask Luke what he was trying to do with such a big move. As a result, no matter how he said it, he was taken off topic, and he was cheated a huge amount of money. Although the two sides are willing to fight and the other are willing to suffer.
At this point, S.H.I.E.L.D. has become the first beneficiary of Luke's acquisition of Hammer Industries and entry into the arms industry.
In the end, the boiled egg told him to pay attention to the construction period, and there was only half a year to not overtime, and the two sides ended the communication.
Where would the boiled egg be thought at this moment, Luke said that it would be delivered in half a month, and it really only took half a month. That's an afterword.
……
Luke still underestimated the greed of American politicians.
Two days later, the U.S. Supreme Court announced another investigation into Hammer Industries, citing Luke's alleged monopoly.
This funny reason is really well known to everyone, but it works in capitalist countries.
The third characteristic of capitalism: capitalists are a bunch of scoundrels.
The reason is that the U.S. military somehow learned of the peacekeeping Tornado and medical Tornado ordered by S.H.I.E.L.D. from Hammer Industries. After getting the technical parameters, the US military immediately turned red.
The U.S. military is also a customer of the Hammer Steel Soldiers, and after getting the technical parameters of the Hammer Steel, they compared it, but as a result, there was no comparison at all, and the Hurricane was so high that the Hammer Steel Soldiers were so high that they didn't know where.
Thinking about it again, this is the kind of mecha used by the apostles? The apostles were willing to sell even this? The generals of the US military, land, navy, and air force can still sit still, and the telephones in the congressional offices have been flooded, and they have demanded an increase in the military budget for the purchase of equipment.
However, the increase in the military budget is only a front, and the real means of the US military are behind.
The military bigwigs, who were about to move, thought they were very clever and used a trick to occupy the magpie's nest, just like the routine of "Iron Man 2" against Tony at that time, asking the U.S. justice department to hold a hearing to rule on the unfair competition issue of Hammer Industries.
In a nutshell, Hammer Industries, suspected of monopolizing and illegally manipulating the market, demanded that Luke hand over the manufacturing technology of the two models of Tornado, in the name of evaluation.
When Luke learned about this, he almost didn't laugh out loud.
Is the U.S. government really blind on the streets? What's the difference between this and covering your ears and stealing the bell?
The hearing will be held next week.
As a result, the court summons could not be found, and he did not know where to send it. Luke's guardian could not be found, and Luke's adoptive parents' house was now empty. After all, Luke is known to be underage and a child, and even if he is asked to attend a hearing, he must be accompanied by a guardian.
Under pressure from the military, the Federal Ministry of Justice made the message public, calling on the Apostle Luke to show up on time next week to fulfill his obligations as a citizen.
As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar again......
Hardcore Apostle fans blew up first.
The federal government is poor and crazy, right? He even demanded that the apostles hand over his weapons technology and bring them under the jurisdiction of the government?
What kind of technical assessment, is it really that everyone is an idiot? With the technology coming up, who can ensure that it will not be "accidentally leaked"? The real idiot is the Federal Department of Justice, which made this ruling!
Fans have appealed on the Internet, believing that the apostle does not need to show up at all, and there is no need to pay attention to this matter. Some legal scholars have come forward to say that the federal government is legally and morally untenable.
If the federal government persists, the apostles have the right to sue the United States government before an international tribunal.
Of course, with such a voice, it is natural that there will be people who come out to speak against it.
Some "people of insight" commented on the Internet, arguing that since Luke was adopted by a U.S. citizen and is also a U.S. citizen, he should travel to citizenship, calling on the apostles to disclose some of the technology for the benefit of all mankind.
The capitalist countries attach great importance to the inviolability of private property, so these people do not make a fuss about the topic of handing over technology, but actually raise the topic to the well-being of all human society......
No matter what the outside world is uproar and comments, Luke sits firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, and he still exercises as usual every day, replenishes nutrition, and is in a happy mood. As if none of these things had happened.
As for the reply or something, Luke didn't have that much time to spare.
Moreover, not replying is the best reply
He's waiting for an opportunity.
Luke knew that the time would come soon......
