"Didn't pass?"

Nolan frowned.

"What justification did they use?"

"There's no reason, we've urged it a few times, but the answer is the same every time, and we're still going through the process."

The person in charge had helplessness on his face.

As he spoke, several more people in charge also spoke.

"Not only the K9 life robot project, but also our virtual film and television project is still going through the process."

"It's the same with the 'Spirit Mirror' project."

In the blink of an eye, five or six people stood up.

In their hands, more or less there are some newly launched projects that have been going through the process.

Hearing this, how could Nolan not react yet.

These projects are all sub-projects of some life classes, and in Nolan's planning, there are enough parts to build Locke's 'empire', there is no danger, the technology content is not high, and even some are just substitutes for the products of other companies.

These should be the easiest projects to get approved.

But now, it's all stuck in the process.

"What's the situation, if someone breaks the law, I will let him know that the legal department of Rock Technology is not a decoration!"

Looking at Nolan's gloomy face, a project leader spoke:

"It's not a problem, in fact, everything is in a legal state.

There are many processes for the approval of each project, and the time required by law varies, but we have observed that the process is carried out by the other party in time. ”

As he spoke, he smiled wryly:

"It's in line with the rules, but for us, what would have taken three days to do, now takes at least three months."

Speaking of this, he hesitated a little and said:

"Not only that, but I found that it seems that not only in terms of approval, but also in some other aspects, we have also been targeted......"

Nolan's face became more and more ugly.

What is done in three days can be done in three months, and if other aspects are delayed a little longer, that is, if he wants to establish a project, it will only take half a year.

What can I do in half a year?

In the business field, half a year is an era!

This delay of half a month is enough for him to miss all opportunities.

Moreover, this obvious approach is easy to perceive the actual situation.

At that time, not only the problem of delaying the project for half a year, but also various partners and even buyers may give up Rock Technology for such reasons!

It's lore!

An impossible lore.

Nolan closed his eyes.

Is this what General Ross can do.

It's not that simple, he doesn't believe at all that a military general with real power can extend his tentacles up and down the entire business system.

If that happens, tomorrow the president will arrest him for treason.

So now there is only one possibility.

This is not an action at the behest of someone at all.

Just thinking about it, Nolan shuddered.

This is the decision of the White House!

Rock Technology has been blacklisted by the White House!

By the time Nolan opened his eyes, his expression had regained his composure.

"Boss ......"

The person in charge who spoke was a little hesitant, but still said:

"I'm afraid this matter is very troublesome, maybe you should look for a relationship."

"I see."

At the end of the meeting, Nolan sat alone in the conference room, his expression changeable.

It was a long time before Susan walked in.

"Nolan, what's wrong?"

She wasn't in the conference room just now because she was dealing with the production line.

"Someone is trying to deal with me."

Nolan sighed.

Susan was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and said:

"Isn't this normal, with the current development speed of Rock Technology, I'm afraid that the entire high-tech company is dissatisfied with us."

She wasn't worried.

When she first worked for Victor, the Doom Group also got up like this.

No matter how many lockdowns there are, as long as Locktech's products are good enough, these are not a problem.

And she is very confident in the products of Rock Technology!

Nolan didn't want to open his mouth but said:

"This time, it's not our competitors who are dealing with Rock Technology, but ...... White House. ”

Hearing this, Susan Tongkong enlarged, and her body trembled.

"That's why, everything about Rock Technology should be compliant."

She kept an eye on these things, and naturally thought it was impossible to go wrong.

Nolan walked to the window.

Looking at the vast New York outside, I felt a little helpless.

"So, the White House's approach is all compliant, and it's the first time I've experienced this feeling of powerlessness."

As he spoke, Nolan lost his mind slightly.

"I thought that as long as I followed the rules, no one would be able to change my will in the rules, but it turned out that it only took one decree from the White House to put Rock Tech in a desperate situation, which is really ...... It's terrible. ”

Looking at Nolan, who was a little lonely, Susan came over and hugged him.

Now all she can do is hug.

"There must be some reason."

It was a long time before Susan took the initiative to ask, and she was very incomprehensible.

This move is tantamount to a ban, but how can it be so simple to ban such a large company, or even move towards the strongest in the world.

Reason?

Nolan is also thinking about it.

He should have offended only General Rus, but now it turns out that it is far more than a General Russ who will deal with him.

"Someone is scared ......"

Nolan can only come to this conclusion.

I am afraid that his way of dealing with hatred is too simple and crude, coupled with his own lack of cooperation with General Ross, and the appearance of combat weapons such as the Terminator, there are already signs of subverting modern warfare.

Those politicians in the White House are afraid that he has the ability to threaten the White House.

No, maybe it's not the only one!

Just as he was thinking, the phone rang.

Glancing at the caller ID, Nolan chose to answer.

"Nolan Locke, I plan to use 10 million units to buy 20 Thor's Hammer Armors."

"General Ross, I have to say, your abilities are beyond my imagination." Nolan replied.

"No, it's just that you're breaking the rules of the game, and if you agree, we're already ready to work together."

General Ross had a rough voice, but with a thick menace.

At General Rose's threat, Nolan's voice also cooled.

"What do you mean? Or does the White House mean it? General Ross, you want to kill Locketech, you're forcing me to die. ”

General Ross, who was on the other side of the phone, raised his eyebrows, and then hung up the phone without hesitation.

"This bastard still dares to threaten me!"

He scolded angrily.

He now represents the White House.

Nolan Locke's approach simply does not take the White House into account.

"In that case, let's continue."

General Ross sneered.

Now he's the one sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai platform.

Since Nolan Rock was unwilling to take the easy path, it was no wonder that he was.

Nolan looked at the phone that hung up, without any hesitation, and said:

"Red Queen, start the Emperor Plan!"

"The Emperor Project has been launched." The voice of the red queen sounded.

On the side, Susan's face was full of doubt.

"What is the Emperor's Plan?"

She was Nolan's secretary, but she had never heard of such a plan.

"A plan to deal with a threat in a desperate situation."

Nolan explained briefly.

With the launch of the Imperial Project.

On the outskirts of New York, this is an office area of Rock Technology.

No one knew that underneath the office building, there was also a huge underground space.

There is not a single human being in this underground space, and it is full of robots of all kinds.

Suddenly all the models of robots stopped working, and soon, when they restarted, they had been given new tasks.

The avatar of the Red Queen appears in this underground space.

Looking at the busy scene around her, a huge virtual screen unfolded in front of the red queen.

Inside are a variety of battle weapons.

Among them are both Nolan's technology in the Overworld, as well as technology purchased and researched in this world.

But in the very center of this virtual screen is an image of a body that occupies a huge space.

The Emperor Project!

It was Nolan's plan that began to prepare after he determined that there were Fantastic Four in this world.

In his eyes, the Fantastic Four is not a big threat, and the threat in his eyes has always been the Devourer of Planets.

And the Imperial Plan was born for this.

But now......

He needed to start the project in advance.

The Emperor Project needs huge financial support, and the current funds of Rock Technology are completely insufficient to support it.

But what he wants is not to let the emperor's plan be carried out in full.

He only needs to activate some of the sub-projects to deal with the current situation.

Two months later.

The situation at Rock Technology is getting tougher.

However, relying on the various products previously released, Rock Technology is still an unshakable tree.

Nolan had expected this.

As he said before, the scientific and technological level of Rock Technology has exceeded that of other companies for at least 30 years, and the gap of 30 years is enough to make Rock Technology enduring.

Even in Nolan's opinion, this is the reason why the White House dares to block it like this.

Whatever the purpose of the White House, it is by no means to bring down Locke Technology completely.

It's not good for anyone.

So in Nolan's view, what the White House wants is nothing more than to make him bow his head and become a vassal of the White House from now on.

Even......

They wanted to swallow Locktech and drive Nolan out of Locktech.

The Avengers are already in full swing.

The famous Captain America is also in place.

After hearing that Captain America in this world was a woman, he was still a little curious, but now, he didn't have that time.

"Nolan, General Ross has arrived."

Susan walked in and spoke with a little meaning.

Nolan nodded, put down the papers in his hand, and walked towards the conference room.

This time, it was not only General Ross who came, but also representatives of the White House.

"Mr. Locke."

Before General Ross could speak, the representative of the White House had already extended his hand to him.

Nolan just glanced at him, then sat down on the stool.

It's time for this, what face to give.

The White House representative was slightly embarrassed, and at the same time there was a hint of anger in his eyes.

General Ross said coldly:

"Locklock, don't you understand even the most basic etiquette?"

Nolan smiled.

"Needless to say, you want to bring down Rock Technology, what are you doing here now?"

Hearing his words, several people frowned.

They didn't expect that Nolan Rock would speak so simply, this is already the rule of the game that doesn't care about capital at all.

But soon, a slightly wealthy man came out and said with a smile:

"Mr. Locke, we've heard that Locke Tech is in big trouble.

We are willing to provide $3 billion in financial assistance, but at the cost of a 22% stake in Rock Technology. ”

He had enough confidence on his face.

Until then, he had been following the situation of Rock Technology.

At first, the resilience shown by Rock Technology shocked him, but with his patience, it was finally determined that Rock Technology had entered a weak state, and the huge financial pressure made Rock Technology almost fall into a complete stagnation.

He had been waiting for this opportunity for two months.

3 billion is enough to alleviate the current crisis, and at the same time, 22% of the shares can give Nolan Rock the illusion that some companies are still under his control.

At the same time, the presence of the military and people in the White House here is also putting enough pressure on Nolan Locke.

With such a comprehensive preparation, Nolan Rock had no chance to refuse at all.

"What are you thinking, Mr. Locke.

I think it's a win-win partnership for both of us. ”

"Want a stake in Rock Technology? It seems that you are staring at it very much, and you already know that there is a problem with the capital chain of Rock Technology.

But I'm sorry, I don't plan to sell the shares of Rock Technology for the time being, I can borrow this money at 30% interest, if you don't agree, this topic will end here. ”

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly fell silent.

"Nolan Locke, do you think you'll be able to hold on?"

General Ross stared at Nolan deadly.

Nolan had a playful look on his face.

"Actually, I felt perfectly fine, I always thought we were good allies, but you let me down.

General Ross, now you have only two options, convince the White House to agree to you to lead troops against Locktech, or get out of here. ”

Hearing Nolan's words, General Ross suddenly became furious.

No one dared to scold him, and no one could scold him.

"Nolan Locke, what you're facing now is the White House!"

He said angrily:

"Continue to resist stubbornly, you will only go to the last dead end, leave now, with your ability, at least it will not be too bad, but if you don't want this plan, I can guarantee that you will die!"

Nolan wasn't angry, he just smiled:

"You're wrong, I'm facing at least not the entire White House......"

There was a hint of meaning in his voice.

Two months have passed, and these guys really don't think he is prepared for anything.

That's too much to underestimate him.

Then Nolan suddenly spoke:

"General Ross, Locktech has filed an indictment against you, accusing you of using your power to persecute Bruce Banner and hunt him down.

The right to freedom is sacred and inviolable, General Rus, you have violated freedom!

I promise, I'll sue you to step down. ”

"Fack!"

General Ross cursed.

Charge?

He really wanted to say something he didn't care.

But it doesn't work.

If Rock Technology were to sue him, many political enemies would not let go of this opportunity.

General Ross's face became more and more ugly.

But soon, he calmed down.

"You'll know the consequences soon."

When the men left, Nolan pouted, then made a phone call.

"It's your turn."
