025. An increasingly strange world
“…… If Mr. Zode is willing to invest here, we will not only exempt your company from taxes, but also provide a certain number of volunteers on a regular basis. ”
"Very good conditions, especially for the 'volunteers' at the end."
Faced with the conditions given by Sokovia's officials, Ron smiled and said, "I do have the idea of investing in the base pharmacy factory here and building a few laboratories. ”
"Really? That ......"
Roughly interrupting the commercial cloth chief with a ecstatic face, Ron stretched out his hand and pointed at the white castle halfway up the hill to the west: "By the way, who is the owner of that castle over there?" Do you have any intention of selling? ”
"Well, this is the mansion of Baron Straker, our hero of Sokovia."
The commercial cloth chief looked embarrassed: "This castle is handed down by the other party's ancestors, and I am afraid there is no plan to sell it." ”
"That's a pity."
That being said, Ron didn't feel any disappointment.
He was just casually probing.
However, Ron was slightly surprised.
One of the heads of the Hydra snake, the villain in "Avengers 2", actually became a hero of this country.
It's a ridiculous joke.
Then, under the leadership of this commercial cloth chief, he went to the next scene... Location of the visit.
It wasn't until the sun went down and he had visited the famous sights near Sokovia's capital that Ron returned to the hotel with Lilith, whose leg was about to break.
As soon as she entered the presidential suite, Lilith kicked off her high heels, collapsed on the sofa without any image, and said weakly: "Boss, I'm really tired today." ”
"Who told you to climb a mountain in high heels."
Glancing at the female secretary's straight and round long legs, Ron squatted down and opened his suitcase, took out a toad mirror from it, and threw it on Lilith: "Put on your sunglasses and go out with me." ”
"Huh? Isn't the expedition over? ”
"You don't really think I'm here to investigate, do you? Wouldn't it, wouldn't it? ”
With a slight touch on the footrest of his glasses next to his ear, the flat lens on the bridge of Ron's nose also turned into a pair of sunglasses.
"I don't have nine lives."
Muttering quietly, Lilith reluctantly put on her high heels again, and followed quickly with her sore jade feet.
After taking the elevator to the first floor, Ron did not take the golden gate, but sneaked out through a staff passage at the back.
Seeing the two people coming out of the hotel, the middle-aged man who was reading the newspaper on the street seat suddenly got up, handed a car key to Ron, and left without saying a word.
"Boss, who was that guy just now?"
"Huh?"
"Okay, I'll shut up."
Glaring at the female secretary, Ron pressed the car key, and a black Santana on the side of the road lit up to unlock it.
Since taking over ZEEKR, more and more eyes have converged on him.
He didn't want to attract too much attention before recruiting Wanda, so he asked Alice to send a team of Pioneer Simulation Robots over a few days in advance to make some preparations.
The area of Sokovia's capital is not as large as any prefecture-level city in a large country in the East, and Alice navigated the whole process, and in less than ten minutes, Ron arrived at the destination of this trip.
As soon as he stepped out of the car, more than a dozen malicious eyes fell on him and Lilith.
"Boss."
Goosebumps were aroused by the greedy, fiery gaze that Lilith grabbed the arm of the dark-haired young man next to her, and barely gave her a sense of security.
Dirty streets, gangsters everywhere, sneaky drug dealers pulling people to sell small pills......
With a panoramic view of the surrounding scene, Lilith couldn't help but think of a notorious neighborhood in New York.
"It's all a hyena that bullies the weak and afraid of the hard, and the more you behave, the more eager they are to pounce on you and tear you apart."
After reassuring the female secretary, Ron walked leisurely to the dilapidated building in front of him.
These guys are honestly fine, if they really eat the leopard gall to trouble him, they have to give them a taste of the iron fist of justice.
According to information found by Alice in the official database of Sokovia, the siblings Wanda and Pietro live in the seven-story building.
Climbing up to the fourth floor, when Ron stopped in front of the door of the house number 04, Lilith knocked on the door in a playful manner.
'Knock Knock~'
More than ten seconds after the knock sounded, the cat's eye door mirror in the center of the iron door suddenly dimmed.
Judging by their clothes, Ron and the others were not bastards on the street, and the closed door opened a thin slit.
Looking at the middle-aged woman who appeared behind the crack in the door, Ron had a friendly smile on his face: "Hello, is this Wanda Maximov's house?" ”
Hearing this name, the middle-aged woman's body tightened, and she said cautiously: "That's right, may I ask who you are?" ”
"I'm the CEO of Zeekr, Ron Zod, and this is my secretary, Lilith."
"Zeekr? How do you prove your identity? ”
Although Zeekr does not have any operations in Sokovia, she still hears the name of the multinational giant.
Reminiscent of the news that last night, the national news station specially announced that the senior management of ZEEKR will come to Sokovia to test the investment environment.
The middle-aged woman didn't think that the other party was deliberately entertaining her.
But as the helm of a giant company with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, is the boy in front of him a little too young?
Besides, she doesn't remember anything in touch with the company.
Why would such an unattainable big man go to Wanda by name?
It is said that those rich people with a bright surface, many of them are copper smelting perverts who like virginity behind their backs, this person shouldn't be a pervert who covets Wanda's body, right?
Thinking of this, the middle-aged woman's pupils shrank.
Ron naturally didn't know the inner thoughts of the woman in front of him, took out his mobile phone, and showed the news that he took over as CEO of Zeekr to the other party: "CNN, BBC, and CBS official websites can all find my news, now you should believe it, right?"
By the way, take the liberty of asking, what is your relationship with Wanda? ”
"She's my daughter."
"Daughter?!"
Confirming that he had heard correctly, Ron hurriedly asked, "You adopted them?" ”
"Of course not! Wanda is my biological daughter! ”
"Biological daughter?"
The smile on Ron's face froze at this answer.
Quickly digging through his memories of Wanda, he confirmed that the other party's parents should have died in the air raid launched by the U.S. military four years ago.
He was still killed by a 'dud' sold by Stark Industries.
This is also the reason why the two Wanda siblings chose to help Baron Straker and Ultron deal with the Avengers at the beginning of "Avengers 2".
Could it be the butterfly effect caused by oneself again?
Just as Ron was frowning, a sound of footsteps suddenly appeared at the end of the hallway.
