Chapter 551
After dumping Starr at Garnata, Rocky is gone, and after a period of vacation, it's time to get busy again. After all, he has a lot of things to deal with at hand, and the problem of Hammer Industries is in front of him, after Justin Hammer was kidnapped by Wanda, Rocky caused Ivan Vanke to carry out the annexation plan, and now 40% of Hammer Industries has fallen into his hands, which is equivalent to owning most of the shares, becoming the largest shareholder of Hammer Industries. But this was not the most satisfying outcome for Rocky, what he needed was to completely control Hammer Industries, not to be the kind of largest shareholder, but also to ensure the interests of others, this kind of thing he could not do, and he was not willing to do, so he decided to take matters into his own hands and collect the rest of the stock.
Hammer Industries does seem to be a family business, but Hammer Industries has never been the private property of the Hammer family, and it has grown into the behemoth it is today, absorbing enough nutrients during this time, and these nutrients are called investors! This is an indispensable role for investors in a publicly traded company, and their money is the backbone of an industrial empire that would otherwise have collapsed.
Meeting with Ivan, Rocky took the information of those investors from his hand, and after flipping through a few pages, he couldn't help frowning, "These guys are difficult to deal with?" Don't they realize the pros and cons? As a businessman, you can't be so stupid unless they have something to rely on. ”
"I agree with you, because they are tough, and it's the reason why they can be tough, to be honest, I haven't found a ...... yet" Ivan shrugged his shoulders with a slight banter, he didn't like to deal with businessmen as a scientist, and he wouldn't have been able to do what Rocky had told him to do, and now. It's not that he doesn't want to finish it, but those guys don't seem to be afraid of the so-called disaster at all, and they are bent on defending the equity in their hands, as if they have been promised by someone.
Rocky decided to find out who was behind it, he wanted to see who was stopping his plan to succeed, "You continue to communicate with them, give them the illusion that we will not give up, I need to secretly see who is causing the trouble......
Of course, the person who caused the trouble exists, and this person Rocky also knows. That's Justin Hammer himself! After this guy joined the anti-war organization, he sold everything he could without discipline, and he could also contribute to the anti-war organization to fund his own company, so why did he become a selfless anti-war person on a part-time basis? But in reality? This guy is just trying to save his life, in the face of the threat of death, he can not care about anything, the business can be reopened when it is gone, and the money can be made again when it is gone. Anyway, he is still relatively young, and with his own business acumen, he has no problems starting from scratch, so these things outside his body are compared to his own life. It's simply worthless! So you want Justin Hammer to be disciplined when it comes to life? Dream!
Or in New York, when he was about to take Justin Hammer to the base in Iran, the leader sent them to stay still, and at the same time, Justin Hammer helped to control Hammer Industries. In other words, anti-war groups want to make Hammer Industries their own.
Rocky never thought that such a planned cut off would happen to him, and he followed several shareholders who held a large number of shares, but did not get any information. It wasn't until the next day that he followed a female shareholder and finally saw the answer he wanted in the hotel, a familiar person - Justin Hammer, this guy has an improper relationship with this female shareholder is not the point, the point is that this guy is so comfortable even if he is kidnapped by anti-war groups? Now the problem is, it is almost impossible to think twice about competing with himself, and the conflict between him and Wanda and Pietro is already essential and inevitable.
His brows furrowed quietly, and Rocky suddenly had a trace of interest in the anti-war leader standing behind Wanda, this guy was very smart, until he couldn't do everything for a rich man like Justin Hammer, because it couldn't maximize his own interests, and control was much more clever than oppression, although it didn't make Justin Hammer grateful to Dade, but at least he could get the maximum benefit of his organization, I have to say that Wanda's leader was very smart, and it didn't seem to be the same as the fool he imagined.
Watching Justin Hammer walk into the elevator with the female shareholder in his arms, he turned around and left, he got the answer he wanted, and he was not interested in watching a Spring Palace play, so he chose to leave at this time, he needed to consider a countermeasure, a countermeasure on how to take Hammer Industries.
However, many times, when thinking about countermeasures, there are not many people who give you time to think, and the plan cannot catch up with the so-called changes, just like Rocky who received a message, he has put the Hammer Industries matter behind him, and obviously the matter is more important now, he has received a message that the Celestial Launcher in England is coming to the United States.
The arrival of the apocalypse is undoubtedly announcing the advent of a big war, which is a disaster and opportunity for the X-Men, but now it is related to Rocky again, a letter signed by Charles, which directly stated that he knew Rocky's identity and knew that he was returning from the beginning, because no one in the United States could hide his ability, which was also expected by Rocky.
Later, the letter was full of old words, and then it began to get to the point, saying that the arrival of the apocalypse would bring disaster to the X-Men, so Rocky's power was needed to help them resist the disaster, which was undoubtedly a matter of putting him in the savior's position.
After reading the whole letter, Rocky shook his head with a smile, Charles is indeed very smart, but it is inevitably a little annoying to be smart, you must know that the more you use this kind of thing, the less you use it, and Charles seems to have no scruples, and asks him for help every time he encounters any difficulties, how many times has this been? It seems that they are all a little too many to count. At first, he may be willing to help, after all, Logan is one of his few friends. But the current situation, to be honest, is not optimistic for Rocky, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the current situation is surrounded by strong enemies, Gamora, Tony Stark, S.H.I.E.L.D., and the anti-war group...... These guys are now worried about Rocky's existence, if you add another apocalypse, although it is not impossible, but to start a war with so many people at once, I really don't know what Rocky can't bear, at least Rocky doesn't have the strength to start a war with so many people at the same time. Therefore, when he received this letter, he was about to refuse, so he saw him pick up a pen and write a letter, a letter of 'sincerity'.
'Dear Charles, my friend, I am glad to hear from you because you recognize me. But as a friend, I must remind you that now is not the time for me to show up. I hope you understand that. Therefore, I can't agree to your request, not because I don't want to help you, but because I can say that I can't take care of myself now. So, I'm sorry......
When Charles received this letter, he couldn't help but smile wryly, what was expected was already ready for him to refuse. But he didn't expect it to be so thorough, which undoubtedly revealed a few points of information, Rocky is now in trouble with an enemy no less than Apocalypse, and he is not willing to face two powerful opponents. Another point is that I seem to be a little smart but I was mistaken by being smart, and I have been trying to use the thin human favor to motivate the other party to help, but I have been ignoring the human favor, which can be said to be less and less used.
"Charles, it looks like you're old fools. I would have thought this way. Charles shook his head with a wry smile and muttered to himself.
The door was pushed open, and Jean Grey entered. With a little unconcealed worry on his face, "Professor, did that friend of yours promise to help?" Things are a little less rosy right now, and there's been a lot of mutant disappearances lately......"
"There is no doubt that the apocalypse is so-called, that he is persecuting us, forcing us to make choices. He wants to be the king of mutants, but this idea is not destined to come true, he wants us to grovel, but we have not tried to grovel since we got this habitat from the Indians. Charles shook his head slightly, his expression unusually determined, "Jean, help me contact Eric, although very reluctantly, but I have to say, now is the time for the X-Men and the Brotherhood to work together." ”
Jean Grey, who had been prepared for a long time, didn't feel so surprised when she heard this, this was something they had discussed before, and now they just carried it out according to that idea, no matter how reluctant they were, they had to grit their teeth and endure it.
When Jean Grey stood in front of Magneto Eric, the old man, who was still strong even though he was old, raised his gray brows and said playfully, "Seriously, Charles always likes to teach people, always likes to tell people what the consequences of such things will be, for this, I have always been disgusted, but now? I'm not so disgusted, because I know that what this guy says is the truth, and he never exaggerates, only tells us what the disadvantages will be......" As he spoke, he slowly got up, paced in front of Jean Grey, and said lightly: "Go back and tell Charles, just say that I accepted his suggestion......"
Jean Grey nodded, didn't talk nonsense, turned to leave, and she didn't mean to stay longer when the task was completed.
Looking at Jean Grey's back, Eric's expression was a little deep, and suddenly an elegant female voice came from behind him, "It seems that this incident seems to have given Charles a headache, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to ask you for help." But Charles was right, if the other party's target was on the X-Men at the beginning, then the next target would be our brotherhood, so ......"
"That's why I agreed to his request for help, although I don't know who this apocalypse is and how powerful it is, but I will never despise the person who can make Charles whisper to me for help......" A sneer hung on his face, and Eric's eyes were full of light.
Well, the Brotherhood and the X-Men are united again, and these guys fight to the death, but they will always be together again at the critical moment, so Rocky is almost too lazy to get involved in the between them, and he doesn't necessarily die when he fights around, and the number of people is getting bigger and bigger.
Lucky enough to not know about this matter, if he knew, he would inevitably complain, but he had to admit that the cooperation between them was indeed very suitable, and these two people were actually the most tacit people in this world, because they were also friends and enemies.
Although Rocky did not get involved in the affairs between mutants, it did not mean that he could avoid this matter, and when he was returning home, he was stopped by a person, a strong man with short gray hair, one of the four knights of the Apocalypse.
"Mr. Liszt, my husband is invited!" War bowed and waved his hand, and soon a luxurious custom Rolls-Royce appeared in front of Rocky's eyes, and it could be said that it was almost impossible to guess that it must be the apocalypse sitting in it.
Entering the car, sure enough, I saw that the apocalypse was slowly sipping red wine, and when I saw Rocky, the blue lips outlined a playful smile, "We meet again, Mr. Liszt, although it is a little uninvited, but I still want to say that the trip to the United States is something I am determined to do, and the war between mutants will not disappear because of the passage of time, but will become more and more intense......"
"So, you think there must be a leader among the mutants who restrain them?" Rocky looked at Apocalypse amusedly, clasping his arms around his chest, "You know what? You make me laugh at that, we're all smart people, Mr. Apocalypse. So don't say high-sounding and false things between wise people and smart people, because that would be of no use. You say, you plan to be the king of mutants, I don't think it's strange, I think it's strange, if you want to be the king, why did you come to the United States? Is it because there are so many mutants in the United States? How did I not know before? So, you're not trying to rule the mutants, in other words, ruling the mutants is just a little idea of yours, a passing thing, and your real purpose is to gain more power! Let me guess? This power has to be obtained in a special way in the United States, that's why you're here, aren't you? ”
After hearing this, a trace of coldness and murderous intent flashed in Tianqi's eyes, but it was extremely faint, and it disappeared in a flash, and he kept a faint smile on his face and said: "I have to say that Mr. Liszt's imagination is very rich!" You may think my purpose is complicated, but I think it's simple, and more importantly, I need you to stand by and watch me complete this simple plan ......" (To be continued. )
