Chapter 143: Hammer
"My name is Justin Hammer, and I think you've heard my name, Mr. Ling. I'd like to be able to buy all your shares in Stark Industries, and by the way, buy a piece of news. With that, Justin handed Ling Xiao a check, stared at him and said, "Mr. Ling, I hope you can accept my friendship." ”
"Fifty million dollars." Ling Xiao couldn't help laughing, although he didn't say a word, Justin Hammer could still hear the mockery in Ling Xiao's laughter.
Justin frowned, and couldn't help but say, "What, Mr. Ling, does the price be low, fifty million dollars is enough to buy all the shares of Stark Industries in your hands, and there is even a premium." ”
"No, no, $50 million is a lot more than the value of my shares. But Mr. Hammer, haven't you ever thought about how much tax I have to pay on such a sum of money? ”
Ling Xiao looked at Justin Hammer, shook his head slightly, and said: "I have the shares of Stark Industries in my hand, and I can earn a lot of dividends every year, besides, with the current development momentum of Stark Industries, the value of those shares in my hands will not be long before it can exceed 50 million US dollars." Now tell me, Mr. Hammer, why I want to sell you the shares, and I have to carry a piece of news. ”
Saying that, Ling Xiao pushed Justin's check back, looked at him deeply, and prepared to get out of the car and leave.
"Because Stark Industries will soon be out of luck, and those stocks you own will soon become worthless waste paper, Mr. Ling." Justin looked at Ling Xiao, who was about to get out of the car, and his words were full of threats.
"Unlucky?" Ling Xiao turned his head to look at Justin and said with a look of surprise: "You can also make Tony Stark unlucky, Mr. Hammer, I said that you overestimated yourself, or did you overestimate yourself." Well, goodbye, Mr. Justin. ”
After speaking, Ling Xiao didn't talk to Justin anymore, opened the door and walked down, and in three steps and two steps, he had already entered the apartment building.
Watching Ling Xiao disappear from sight, Justin felt an inexplicable anger rising from the bottom of his heart, he was actually looked down upon, he was actually looked down upon by a low-level person from Los Angeles.
He gritted his teeth hard, clenched his fists, and slammed it on the back of the chair in front of him. Justin Hammer, who took a deep breath and vented a little anger, finally regained his composure, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, patted the back of the seat in front of him, and said, "Drive!" ”
After saying that, Justin Hammer sneered and looked at the apartment building not far away, and thought to himself: Wait until I clean up Tony Stark, and then come back to clean you up.
Back in the apartment building, Ling Xiao couldn't help but shake his head slightly, what is this, why did Justin Hammer find him.
After a moment of silence, Ling Xiao took out his mobile phone and dialed Pepper's number: "Miss Potts, you would never have thought that someone had found me just now?" ”
Pepper was accompanying Stark to a quick snack in the top office, and they had just finished some things at the fair, when Ling Xiao's phone called. Pepper frowned and said, "Who is it, what is it to you?" ”
"It's Justin Hammer, and he's paying $50 million for my Stark Industries stock." On the other end of the phone, the corners of Ling Xiao's mouth curved.
Hearing Ling Xiao say this, Pepper's face immediately sank, and Tony Stark, who was sitting on the side, looked at him inquiringly, and asked in a low voice, "Is something wrong?" ”
"It's Mr. Ling." Pepper groaned slightly, put the phone on the table, turned on the speaker, put the index finger of his right hand to his lips, and cleaned up Stark silently, before then said to Ling Xiao, "It seems that you didn't sell the stock, Mr. Ling." ”
"Of course, the last time you bid more than 50 million, it's been so long, and Justin Hammer bought all the stocks in my hand for 50 million dollars, he really thought I was a fool! Besides, why should I pay so many taxes to the U.S. government, isn't it good to eat Stark Industries' share dividends every year? By the way, Miss Potts, Stark Industries is going to pay dividends, right? ”
The look of disdain on the other end of the phone, Pepper could think of it, and she couldn't help but smile and shake her head. Glancing at Tony, Pepper said into the phone: "Of course, after the financial review in January, the share dividend will be issued at the annual general meeting of shareholders, Mr. Ling, I hope you can attend then." ”
"Am I also eligible to attend the shareholders' meeting, doesn't it mean that shareholders who hold a certain proportion of shares can participate?" Hearing what the companion said, Ling Xiao couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
"That's not the case, Mr. Ling, you're mistaken. Your one is the board of directors, and only if you own a stake in Stark Industries at the annual general meeting, even if it is 1 share, register, and then go to the securities company to print the certificate of shareholding, you are eligible to participate. Pepper patiently explained.
"Then I'll definitely participate then. Miss Potts," Ling Xiao paused slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "This time Justin Hammer came to me, I'm afraid the purpose is not only for the stock, but also for the news that he wants me to sell him, I didn't let him speak, and got out of the car directly." ”
"You suspect he wants to ask about Tony's health?" Pepper's face immediately sank, Pepper had always been very secretive about Ling Xiao's treatment of Stark, but there was no impermeable wall in this world, and Ling Xiao's regular visit to Stark Mansion still attracted the attention of some people.
"It should be like this, otherwise how could the famous billionaire Justin Hammer find me, a small shareholder with less than 0.2% in his hands. And," Ling Xiao took a deep breath and said, "As I was about to get out of the car, Justin Hammer also said that Stark Industries will soon be unlucky, and the stocks I own will soon become worthless waste paper." Tell Mr. Stark to be careful of some Hammer Industries. ”
"I see, thank you for telling me, Mr. Ling." Stark suddenly spoke, "You've got Stark Industries' friendship. ”
"So Mr. Stark is here, so I'm relieved. Okay, I won't bother the two of you in the two-person world, goodbye. ”
Hanging up the phone, Pepper couldn't help but ask, "Tony, how did that thing go?" ”
"There's been a lot of progress, and you can rest assured that by the time the hearing begins, Justin Hammer will be given a good look." Stark patted the back of Pepper's hand comfortingly, Justin really thought that he didn't know that he was secretly copying the steel suit, and colluded with some guys in the Senate to take away his steel suit and the Ark reactor, and he would be good-looking when the time came.
"That's right, Tony." Pepper hesitated slightly, but still spoke: "About the super soldier serum......"
"Agent Coulson sent it." Stark interrupted Pepper's remarks, a touching smile on his face.
"You already knew." Pepper was shocked, couldn't help but stand up, looked at Stark and said, "When did you know, Tony?" ”
"I knew it from the beginning, and Agent Coulson called me when he sent it." Stark shrugged and told the truth.
Pepper said with some emotion: "How can you do this, Tony, I am thinking about your life, you already knew, you already knew, did you have fun teasing me?" ”
"No, no, dear, it's me who was wrong, it's me who is wrong." Facing the furious Pepper, Tony Stark was also a little overwhelmed for a while, so he quickly stood up and walked to Pepper's side, hugged her shoulders, and sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, dear, I promise that I won't hide it from you again in the future." ”
"You can't bully me like that." Pepper used a woman's strongest weapon, and even a genius like Tony Stark was a little panicked for a while.
"It's me who is not good, Pepper, you have the final say in everything from now on." Stark was already fully avatared, and he had no initiative in front of Pepper.
"Really?" Seeing Stark nodding, Pepper said, "Okay, I want Mr. Ling to join the research team of the super soldier serum." ”
