If it weren't for Chris's reminder, Laura wouldn't have thought about money at all, because since inheriting the Crawford family's property and having a super-rich boyfriend like Chris, Laura hasn't been short of money for a long time.

Especially after becoming Chris's fiancée, Laura's name and appearance are gradually known to people all over the world, unless it is really unheard, few people will not know who the richest man in the world is, and as Chris's fiancée, Laura's popularity will not be low, so in many places around the world, even if Laura does not spend money, it is no problem to brush her face directly.

In addition, after Chris gave her such a comprehensive ship as the Pagasus, she has less money to spend, and she basically eats and wears everything on the spaceship...... You must know that when the Pagasus is on Earth, the main control system of the spaceship will contact the lieutenant regularly to replenish the spacecraft, and Chris's supply standard can be said to be the highest in the world...... It's all super high quality stuff.

The only problem may be that there are no fancy luxury goods provided, mainly practical, basically standard things, but Laura is not an ordinary girl, for her, the practical is the best, those useless jewelry decorations, gorgeous clothes, all are chicken ribs.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Laura's concept of money is becoming weaker and weaker.

It wasn't until now that Chris was the size that she suddenly realized that it was not possible to leave the earth without money, if it was just daily consumption such as food and clothing and the operation of the Pagassos, you must know that although Pagassos is not big, only more than a hundred meters, but after all, it is a comprehensive ship, medical research, micro-circular agriculture, energy harvesting, and micro-industrial maintenance system, that is to say, as long as the Pagassos is not particularly badly damaged and causes problems with the internal system, then it will basically never have a shortage of materials.

But that's all, Laura's purpose is to conduct space exploration, and in this process, she naturally has to deal with other civilizations, such as buying intelligence, collecting the literature, history and items of alien civilizations, and you still need money to do these things...... There's no way she's going to steal it, right? She's an explorer, not a robber.

And like Chris said, she can't give dollars or pounds to aliens, right? But the currency for the aliens? She doesn't even know what the alien currency looks like, right?

Seeing Laura's performance, Chris knew that she hadn't thought of this problem at all, and secretly shook his head and said, "Don't be stupid, there is a watch and dozens of metal ingots in cabinet 37 in the personal belongings compartment, the watch is a personal terminal sold by the Xia Empire, and the money in it is not much, just 10 million galactic credits, which are equivalent to almost five million dollars according to purchasing power, except for most areas of the galaxy, galactic credits are recognized, especially the Xia Empire and the Nova Empire, which are pacifist forces, Only a small number of regions do not recognize it, or charge a large commission. And those metal ingots are precious metals common to the galaxy, of which gold is worth 100,000 credits, blue is worth 500,000, and red is worth 1 million. ”

“…… Uh, thank you! In the face of Chris's thoughtful and earnest advice, Laura didn't know what to say, but she was obviously very moved in her heart, and then before Chris could react, the person had disappeared...... Did what Chris said to find the money.

Seeing this, Chris waited for a while and didn't see Laura come back, so he had to end the communication helplessly.

"Clean up, we're out of the hospital!" After hanging up the communication, Chris motioned to the two nurses and maids to change his clothes and prepare to be discharged from the hospital, anyway, his body was fine at all, what were he doing in the hospital?

"Commander, are you sure there is nothing wrong with your body?" Morales asked, although Chris's body was indeed completely fine after countless examinations before, but he was still in a coma for so long, which made her, as a medical expert, still unsure if there was a problem and not found out.

"Don't worry, I cherish my life very much, I have been in a coma before, it is the reason above the soul, this is not something you can solve, and now there is no problem" Chris explained, although the technology of the interstellar world is developed, but the problem of the soul level is still beyond the scope of Morales's ability, it is estimated that only the highest technology of the Star Spirit clan will be involved, at least until now, Chris has found that there is something involving the soul in the Star Spirit technology that has been unlocked...... The purifier has nothing to do with the soul, the purifier replicates consciousness, which is different from the soul.

Chris said so, knowing that he couldn't influence Chris's decision, Moraleris naturally had to follow orders.

And the news that Chris was going to be discharged from the hospital, his mother Emily also knew it immediately, but after she confirmed it with Moraleris, she did not object, but she asked Chris to live in the old house of Osborne in the next period of time, and the reason was also very strong, and he took care of himself nearby, and at the same time, Norman Osborne and a large number of other people also rushed here, so they simply went to the old house of Osborne to meet.

Chris didn't refuse, and he hadn't been with his family for a long time, so he returned to Osborne's old house with his mother and a few younger siblings, and on the way he also answered phone calls all the way, all from the people who learned that he had awakened...... When he was still in the hospital, the news of his awakening was not made public...... In fact, during the period when he was in a coma, except for his relatives and subordinates around him, all his physical conditions were kept secret, but since he was sure to be discharged, there was naturally no need to keep it secret, so as soon as he walked out of the hospital, well-informed people knew that he was discharged.

The first person to call in was Maria Hill.

As the director of the Spear Bureau, Maria Hill can be said to be very busy during the time when Chris is in a coma, because almost all the follow-up problems need to be dealt with by her and the Spear Bureau, although there is Overwatch to help, but it is still very busy, but after learning that Chris woke up, he still put down everything in his hand and called as soon as possible.

"Chris, now I have a question that I don't know how to deal with, I want to ask your opinion" After a warm question, Maria quickly brought the topic to the work of the Spear Bureau.

"Oh? Tell me about it? Chris asked with some curiosity, in his opinion, although the work of the Spear Bureau is busy during this time, it is mainly based on sweeping the tail work, and basically Maria Hill can make decisions by herself.

"That's the question of captives, although the masterminds of the Holy Trinity fled at that time, we still caught a lot of captives among those who were abandoned by them, the most important of which are the high-level werewolves and blood clans, including the great elder of the blood clan Victor and the werewolf leader Lucian." Maria Hill replied.

"What's the doubt about this, you can kill if you want to, you can close it if you want to, if you really want to use it for biochemical experiments, you don't have to discuss it with me at all!" Chris said with a smile.

"Of course I understand that these guys are innocent anyway, but there is one man and her subordinates who can't," Maria Hill said solemnly.

"I see, you're talking about Amelia, right?" Chris frowned when he heard this, as soon as Maria Hill said this, Chris immediately thought of Amelia and his subordinates who chose to jump back at the last critical moment, and this was also mentioned in Moraleris's report in the hospital before, the other party not only provided information to Laura in the war, but also helped the coalition after the war, subduing Victor and Lucian and other recalcitrant elements, although there is a strong sense of seeing the wind and steering the rudder, but after all, it can be regarded as a contribution, It would be a bit unkind to treat her the same as Victor Lucian.

"That's it, forget it today, I'll meet with those sub-politicians later, and then discuss some things with my father, and I'll go over tomorrow to discuss this matter!" After thinking about it, Chris had a slight thought in his heart, and then said to Maria Hill.

"This matter is actually not very urgent, you have just been discharged from the hospital and need to rest more." It was then that Maria Hill realized that trouble, a patient who had just recovered from his illness did not seem to be doing well.

"It's okay, my body is still very clear to me, if you don't believe it, I'll come over tomorrow and you'll try it!" After the formal conversation ended, Chris began to speak informably...... No way, when facing a particularly serious woman like Maria Hill, Chris will always want to be indecent, which may be a little bit of his fetish.

"Huh...... You're the same idiot as Tony Stark, and sooner or later you'll die in a woman's belly! In the face of Chris's teasing, Maria Hill on the other side snorted coldly and hung up the phone.

And hearing Maria Hill mention Tony Stark, Chris couldn't help but want to laugh out loud pig scream, and at this time, his mobile phone rang again, picked it up and looked at it, saying Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, it was Tony Stark calling.

"Yo, how can our Iron Man have time to call ordinary people like us?" Chris said as he picked up the phone.

"Hmph, didn't I hear that someone was discharged from the hospital, especially called to condole, young people can't do it, they were in a coma for a week after a little injury, and elderly people like me were discharged in two days!" On the other hand, Tony Stark, who was working out and talking to Chris with 3D glasses, said mockingly.

"Really? But I heard that the reason why someone was hospitalized was not because he was injured in the battle, but because he almost had a stroke......" Chris ignored Stark's taunt and said with a smile, in the previous report, he knew that there were many people who were hospitalized after the war, but only the three people who were with Tony Stark were not injured because of the battle, but because of the loss of yang...... That's why Chris wanted to laugh when he heard Maria Hill mention Stark, it's so hilarious...... As for the specific details at that time, I will not mention them.

"Damn it, shut up!" Hearing Chris's words, Stark on the other side immediately glanced nervously at Xiao Chili, who was making coffee for himself, and then said in a low voice, "Damn, I knew that those medical staff of your Spear Bureau were unreliable, and I was going to accuse you!" ”

"Accusations? Okay, maybe I can go back and talk to Maria about the details of this incident and some video materials, after all, the public should have the right to know. In the face of Stark's "threat", Chris said without any care.

"You dare, Chris Osborne, I'm going to duel you !!" Stark is going crazy, although he knows that Chris is just joking, but there is no doubt that this time, his Tony Stark's reputation is completely ruined.

Although Stark doesn't mind talking about his private life, such as sleeping with several women, such as almost dying on a woman's belly, this is definitely not the case...... It was so weird to blame that woman that he couldn't control himself at the time.

The only thing that made Stark a little relieved was that there were two other brothers who were like him at that time.

"Duel? Don't be funny, believe it or not, anyway, I don't wear armor to let you have one hand, and now you are not my opponent, unless you upgrade your battle suit to dozens of white generations! Chris said with a nonchalant expression.

I'm not angry, I'm not angry, I don't worry about a teenager who is younger than me, Stark forced himself to calm his excitement, and only spoke after a while, but he didn't taunt Chris again, after all, now there is a weakness in the other party's hands, and he can't get angry "Okay, don't talk nonsense, another thing I contact you about is to prepare to talk to you about cooperation." ”

"Cooperation? What cooperation? Chris was suddenly interested.

"Two sides, one is between the Avengers and the Spear Bureau, and the other is the cooperation between Stark Industries and Osborne Industries!" Stark said as Pepper handed over the coffee.

"Stop, even if you look at the first one, I don't think there's anything to cooperate with between the Spear Bureau and your Avengers! Let's just talk about the second! When Chris heard this, he immediately said.

"Hey, Chris, you can't do this, how can we say that we didn't contribute a lot before, you are crossing the river and demolishing the bridge!" Stark said with some dissatisfaction.

"Don't be funny, I didn't ask you to join, you must join, and you know your performance, except for Captain Marvel, how much do you think you have played? And it's not that I'm crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, it's that Nick Fury has been digging the Spear Bureau, digging into the corners of the government, who does he think he is? God? Although the way he and Stark get along is very strange, I have to admit that the two are indeed friends, but friends are friends, but in the face of such a matter of principle, Chris will not compromise in the slightest.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's talk about the cooperation between our two companies!" After Chris finished speaking, Stark didn't know what to say, because he also felt that Nick Fury was doing a lot of things that were not authentic, and he didn't say anything more immediately, anyway, this kind of thing should have been handled by Nick Fury, and he changed the topic.

"What do you want to work with?" Chris was noncommittal.

"Project Home!" Stark said, "Stark Industries is going to join the Homestead program!" ”

"Your father already told you?" Chris is not surprised that Stark mentioned the Homestead Project, because the Homestead Project itself, Chris never intended to keep it a secret, and even after the establishment of the UED government, it was basically a semi-open secret, not to mention Tony's father, Howard is still the one who knows about the Complete Homestead Project...... Isn't it because of Tony Stark that Chris spends so much effort on Howard?

Anyway, on the surface, the homeland plan seems to be only good for the earth, after all, with the continuous development of human beings, the resources on the earth have long been overwhelmed, and if it continues like this, the earth will become more and more unsuitable for human life in a few hundred years.

As for the real purpose behind the homeland plan, that is, to complete the unification of mankind by dividing and breaking up the interest classes and rebuilding the interest system, Chris must not say it directly, he can just know it.

"That's right! This kind of thing Stark Industries has to get ahead of the curve! Tony Stark said that after he learned about the homeland plan, he knew that the sooner he joined the plan, the more benefits he would be able to get, and he might not be able to drink the soup if he was late.

Although Tony Stark is not actually the kind of person who puts profit first, as the head of Stark Industries, he must be responsible for the entire company and its hundreds of thousands of employees.

"Of course, there is no problem in joining, but what can Stark Industries give?" Chris said that although he still values Tony Stark, it doesn't mean that he will be easily involved.

After all, no matter what it is, if it is too easy to get, people will not be too rare, only let people know that things are rare, will they not easily abandon it when they encounter things...... Otherwise, if Stark does something for the whole plan because of the Avengers, Chris will have to wipe his ass.

"All!" I have to say that Tony Stark is still very courageous, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he directly bet on the fate of the entire Stark industry.

But for Stark, there is no way to do it, it is also a diversified enterprise, but now because of Osborne's almost leapfrog expansion, it is difficult for large enterprises of the same type to compete with it, and now among several emerging powers such as the Russian Empire, there are also many powerful companies (in fact, Chris's vest), and have reached an obvious strategic alliance with Osborne Group, and began to implement the homeland plan.

In this case, some other overlapping companies are forced to find ways to keep up, or find another way out, and Stark Industries is the first to bear the brunt.

In fact, Stark has actually been trying to find a way to transform and upgrade the Stark Group's industry, but there is no way, although Tony Stark is a super genius, but after all, he is just one person, Stark Group is so big, it is impossible for him to come in person, and what about Osborne Group? Behind Chris is the actual tri-clan technology of the entire interstellar world, involving all aspects, how can Stark Group compete?

Therefore, for Stark Group, the best choice is to join the homeland plan and become a part of it while there is still a certain amount of capital...... In fact, many people have already done this, the most representative of which is the well-known Morgan and Rockefeller, people have survived for hundreds of years by this means, although it has long been much worse than before, but it still exists, right? It's better than holding on to it and being boiled to death in the end.

"No problem, I'll talk to Arel Hansen when I go back, she will arrange to contact the people on your side, and the specific details will be handed over to them to discuss!" Chris said.

Then the two chatted a few more words, and then hung up the phone, and the car had already arrived home by this time.

Not long after Chris's family arrived, his father, Norman Osborne, returned, and with him arrived the cowboy president and several cronies who had not been seen for a long time.

Seeing the two of them laughing and walking into the living room, Chris knew that his father was so anxious to see him, I am afraid that in addition to worrying about himself, he also has something to discuss with him, and this matter is probably also related to the new ** election that is about to start.

Yes, it's '06 now, and there are still two years left before the cowboy president leaves office.
