078: Hammer is a big fat chunk
"So, you're trying to get that super-criminal who ruined Stark Expo and Hammer's military industry under the umbrella? Why? Danny's grandfather, Luther Sr., looked at him with a blank face, unable to tell whether he was in favor or against.
On the tenth floor of the Hive Base, in an absolutely secret room, Danny and Burton Sr. are standing in front of a large screen, and are having a conference call with Luther Sr. and Sam who are not at the base.
"Why not? Ivan is a talent, he can build the Ark reactor alone under such scarce conditions, and then in the Hammer military industry, under Justin's nose, he can steal the world and the sea to create the Iron Army, whether it is his intelligence or personal ability, he is worthy of our wooing! Danny smiled and answered Luther Sr.'s question.
"He's a rare talent, and I don't deny his ability, but what we need to consider is whether he's going to be bad for the umbrella, or bad for us, and if we spend too much and he bites back in the end, we're going to lose more than we gain, and the lesson of Hammer's military industry is right in front of our eyes."
Old Luther expressed a little concern about what Ivan had done, he didn't care much about the identity of the super criminal, and there were many ways to make Ivan change his face, but he didn't know Ivan very well, so he was worried about whether the decision to recruit Ivan was correct.
"To be honest, I can't guarantee what Ivan will do? I can't read a person's inner thoughts, but I have some confidence that if he joins us, he won't be against the umbrella, and I know him well. Danny said confidently.
Through the original plot and several encounters, Danny has learned what kind of person Ivan is, he is a talented and capable physical scientist, and he loves his father who imparted his knowledge, although his temperament is different from other scientists due to the environment in which he was raised.
But in Danny's view, these are not problems, Ivan's knowledge and ability can allow Danny to ignore these flaws. The difficulty is Ivan's hatred for the Stark family, which is the biggest obstacle for Danny to recruit Ivan, but Danny still wants to try.
"Besides, this is just an attempt, the core of the umbrella can't just rely on the Williams family, if we want to achieve our goals, we have to bring in more talent, not only Dr. John, Kirby and Alice, this kind of person who we know the roots, but also special talent like Ivan, we need more people like that, join us to make the umbrella stronger.
Of course, we definitely have to do some protective measures, such as conducting a preliminary investigation of Ivan, we can't let him know too much at first, and we need to be vigilant at all times, so I want Kirby to stay at the base recently, just in case! Danny explained his thoughts.
There are no particularly important tasks recently, and it just so happens that Kirby has been busy for a while, so while he is resting at the base, he is also constantly monitoring Ivan to see if he will make small moves.
"Danny is right, we need talent, not ordinary talent, but this special kind of talent, to join the core of the umbrella, if it can be successful, it is definitely a good thing." As a serious scientist, Old Burton doesn't like alternative guys like Ivan, but he also admires the other party's abilities.
Seeing that his grandfather Old Burton agreed with him, Danny was very happy, turned his head to look at his father Sam, he did not speak during the whole process, thought for a while and said: "I also think that I can try, but I must be prepared to deal with all possibilities, and if it is not successful, we must minimize the loss." ”
"Oh well! I also agreed to solicit Ivan. Old Luther also figured out that some things don't have to be done successfully, and if you don't try, you will never know what the result will be, so he shook his head and said: "When I'm old, I'm always afraid of this and that!" ”
"Grandpa, you are not old with a sword! If it weren't for you, I don't know when the umbrella would have been built. Although the elder Luther has long since retired, since the decision to establish a protective umbrella, the elder Luther has re-emerged from the mountain, and he has played an unimaginable role in it.
Danny sometimes thinks that in his previous life, he naively thought that starting a company was very simple, all you needed was a name, a place, and then a license.
But this time, he also paid attention to the whole process of establishing the umbrella, but it was really not as easy as imagined, let's put it this way, if it weren't for the veteran Luther Sr., just relying on Danny and his father Sam, it would take at least three years for the umbrella to have its current strength.
Old Luther laughed happily when he heard Danny's praise. "Haha! That's not as good as you young people, I really didn't expect that the naughty grandson in my impression would now play with intrigue and tricks, and play so beautifully! ”
This sentence caused Old Burton and Sam to laugh along, but it made Danny cry and laugh, is this boasting about himself? Or demean or ridicule yourself? Playing intrigue doesn't seem to be a good term, it should be called strategizing!
"Danny did it really unexpectedly this time, and it didn't take much effort to turn the tiger of Hammer Military Industry into a big piece of fat on our plate, and how much you can eat next depends on old Luther and Sam." Old Burton also complimented.
"It can't be said that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, although the Hammer military industry has suffered such a big loss this time, resulting in a great loss of vitality, but they still have a good foundation, it is not easy to eat them easily." Hammer's military industry is an old brand, from the First World War to the present, nearly a hundred years of time, has become a behemoth, not to mention anything else, just Hammer's connections and connections in the military and the government, is not comparable to the umbrella.
"So, before we start a sniper operation, I'll get in touch with Miss Pepper in Stark and try to convince her to join us, if not if not, then she should help us." Danny said with a smile.
Hearing Danny's suggestions and ideas, Old Luther nodded appreciatively and said: "This is better, with the help of Stark's power, we can also more easily acquire Hammer's military industry, whether it is in terms of funds or connections, Stark has a strong power." ”
"In this case, then why don't we arrange the press conference of the 'T Virus Enhancement Plan' at the Stark Expo, after all, I think that although there is such a big thing at the Expo, Stark Company will definitely not give up this plan, if we arrange the conference at the Expo, we can use the 'T Virus Enhancement Plan' to reverse the decline of the Expo, it is an epoch-making product." Old Burton also said suddenly.
After such a long period of experimentation, the T-virus enhancement program can finally appear in the world, although it cannot be popularized to the general public, but this program will definitely attract the attention of all countries and forces in the world, and I believe that by that time, the umbrella will definitely be famous.
This is also the common opinion of Danny and others, the umbrella needs the T virus to make a reputation, of course, what is announced to the outside world must be a weakened version, that is, the T substance has been diluted and changed more, and has found a critical point that can excite the outside world but is not outrageous, according to the comparison, it should be about half weaker than Alice and the others used.
As soon as Old Burton's suggestion was put forward, everyone's eyes, including Danny, lit up, and they collectively voted: "Agree!" ”
