Chapter Eighty-Six: I'm Good at Dealing with Problems

After discussing opinions and finalizing the cooperation, Luke and Howard discussed some details in detail.

In order to complete the initial establishment of the mobile communication system, strong support from government departments is also needed.

Next, Stark Industries' public relations team will meet with the mayor and various councillors to fight for preferential policies and tax exemptions.

It's a good idea to get a few pilots first and see how it goes.

All in all, it's a huge project.

It will take at least two to three years to lay out the industrial layout and urban communication network in the early stage, not including the interference of rival AT&T.

Howard doesn't care about short-term profits, he is more interested in the future prospects of the communications industry.

Although the content of the plan seems a bit ahead of its time.

But on closer inspection, Howard thinks it's more like an accurate prophecy.

"Considering the antitrust law, I don't think the communications business can be put under the name of Stark Industries."

Howard was more cautious, and he proved right.

The American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T), which originally monopolized 80 percent of the market, was forced to split into more than a dozen subsidiaries under the pressure of the antitrust law, thus going into decline.

"Then you can't call me a major general to open a company, this will not have a good impact."

Luke pursed his lips, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and said, "If you have to deal with the antitrust bill, you can send a representative, and I will send another representative to jointly establish a new company." ”

Howard snapped his fingers in agreement.

"What is the name of the new company?" He asked.

"Skynet."

Out of bad taste, Luke took such a name.

Does the name mean anything else? Looks like you've figured it out for a long time. ”

Howard frowned, the image of Luke growing more and more mysterious in his mind.

So much so that the arms tycoon began to be a little skeptical of the nonsense of taking a time machine back in time.

After all, too many incredible miracles have happened to the other party.

Before that, no one could have imagined that the war would end at the hands of one man.

"You won't understand."

Luke shook his head regretfully, and when he played the meme, others didn't realize it, which was equivalent to losing half of the fun.

"Okay, so what's next for you? From what I know of you, Luke, you don't look like a good guy. ”

Howard is too lazy to dig deeper, everyone has secrets, and there is no need to get to the bottom of it.

"The war is over, Rogers has lost his purpose, and I have fallen into emptiness for a while, why don't you seem to have anything to do?"

Hearing this, Luke smiled.

He had so many things to do that he couldn't keep up.

Develop S.H.I.E.L.D. and get rid of the constraints of the White House and the military as soon as possible.

Gather the mutants, take down the Hellfire Club, and solve Sebastian Shaw's trouble.

Find Hydra to settle accounts, and gather news about the Inhumans by the way, so as to prevent them from becoming time bombs when they live on the moon.

If you have time, take the initiative to go to Kama Taj and talk to the Supreme Master to see if the other person's attitude is hostile.

There are a lot of things waiting for Luke to deal with, or plan, how can there be no goal.

He's always been a person who doesn't like to be passive, rather than waiting for the truth to happen and the result to come.

Luke appreciates taking the initiative and being fully prepared for anything.

In this way, as a traverser, he can have enough security.

To put it simply, the young major general has a strong desire to control everything and control everything.

Essentially, it's somewhat similar to Batman with an infinite number of plans in his head.

All are severe patients with persecution paranoia and need psychotherapy!

"I'm looking forward to the future, Howard. Because, that's so exciting! ”

Luke replied vaguely.

"Really? I think you're like a cheating student who knows the answer and can't wait for the exam to start. ”

Howard's observation skills are quite sharp, and he continues: "To get back to the point, I also hope that the Cosmic Cube will stimulate my brain, inspire me, and make me not so decadent. ”

"Addicted to alcohol and women, this kind of life is too boring, and it is not the life I am pursuing at all!"

Howard, who was out of the time of the sage, looked upright, as if the person who rolled the sheets with three hot pretty chicks the other day was not him.

"Trust me, soon your self-confidence will be shattered by the Cosmic Rubik's Cube."

Luke gloated.

The difficulty of studying the Infinity Stones is not small, even if it is put in the back, the two famous geniuses in the Marvel world, Tony Stark and Banner Blues, Iron Man and Hulk joined forces, and spent a lot of time not completely understanding the Mind Stone, but instead created a "filial son" Ultron.

"We'll see,"

Howard himself was full of confidence, but there was a look of tiredness in his eyes that could not be concealed.

"Also, I think you should find a CEO, because business management will consume most of your energy and prevent you from focusing on scientific research."

Seeing the other party rubbing his swollen temples and looking like he was overusing his brain, Luke reminded him out loud.

He remembered Iron Man's father, who should have a bald partner.

Obadi-Stan, the villain who almost changed the Stark Industries dynasty and gave Iron Man experience points.

"I'm also looking for the right person. I plan to devote 100% of my energy and time to the research of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and I plan to leave the management of the company to professionals. ”

Howard, who had had several meetings in a row today, leaned back in the wide, comfortable leather seat.

Stark Industries is on the right track, and the next step is only a step-by-step stable development, and sooner or later it can surpass those old military enterprises, so he is ready to spend his mind on what he is more interested in.

For example, study the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.

"By the way, what about Rogers? I heard that he had undergone a second makeover, and those two big pectorals were stronger than before. ”

After talking about work, Howard began to make small talk.

He was also well-informed, having long heard about the turning point in the European theater.

"Steve, he's thinking about retiring with honor and going back to Brooklyn to be a normal guy — do you think a super soldier can fit into the life of mowing the lawn and watching football at home?"

Luke shook his glass, he actually wanted to bring Captain America in and add a Howard to form the original Avengers.

The world's first superhero boy group to debut sounds pretty cool, doesn't it?

However, after the war, there was really no decent opponent.

Sebastian Shaw of the Hellfire Club doesn't know where he is nesting.

As a villain, he has no spirit to make trouble, which makes Luke very disappointed.

As for Hydra, Baron Straker disappeared after bringing down the scourge of the Third Reich.

"With all due respect, Rogers has always been reluctant to admit that he is different from ordinary people."

Howard took out a box of cigars, smoked them with long matches, and said, "Actually, super soldiers like you are fundamentally different from us. ”

"Isn't it ridiculous that you can lift a car and punch through the steel plate while still pretending to be a normal person?"

"Luke, do you know what I admire about you the most? As a superman, you never hide yourself, nor do you intend to package yourself as a harmless good-natured person. ”

"That's why the military is so lenient with you. I remember they were going to have a hearing about your suit and other questions, but it didn't work. ”

"For it has been said that if Superman refuses to be summoned, do we have the means to compel him to obey the will of the state?"

Luke put down his glass, he'd heard Colonel Phillips say it.

After the public debut in Berlin, many people were interested in their Kryptonian suit, their ability to fly, and the one-time prop Green Light Disc.

"To be honest, if they do hold a hearing, I will be on time."

The corners of Luke's mouth twitched slightly, and he said gently, "I asked Dr. Zola to improve the 'Blood' of Worden, so as to gain more strength and be able to escape gravity, which is reasonable, right?" ”

"Hydra has secretly developed a high-tech suit that is extremely bulletproof and can repair itself, and that makes sense, right?"

"As for me destroying a group of bombers in Berlin alone, most of that is due to Steve, who actually shot down the bombers from the Eiffel Tower - unfortunately you missed it, it was a really spectacular scene, Captain America jerking off!"

"You see, there are reasonable explanations for these problems. Even when I returned to New York, the military arranged for a blood draw, and I didn't resist. ”

Luke spread his hands and said with a smile on his face, "Am I not cooperative enough?" ”

Howard narrowed his eyes and asked curiously, "What if the military asked you to hand over your suit, or participate in research to replicate super soldiers?" ”

"They won't do that."

"Why?"

Greeted by Howard's puzzled eyes, Luke said calmly, "Have you heard the story of the Gordion Knot?" ”

"Legend has it that Gordion, the king of Phrygia in Asia Minor, ancient Greece, tied an intricate knot on an oxcart he used to make an intricate knot that could not be distinguished from the head and the tail, and placed it in the temple of Zeus, saying that whoever could untie the knot would rule the continent."

"Alexander the Great then cut the intricate knots with his sword."

The young major general, who was sitting on the sofa, said with a smile on his face: "I learned from this story that if you can't solve a complex problem, then find the root cause and solve the person who raised the problem." ”

"So, the president, or the congressmen, had better not give me any problems."

After listening, Howard was silent.

Thankfully, the members of the Capitol Hill aren't stupid enough to cause trouble for each other.
