Chapter 5: The Old Fox and the Little Fox
As the United States, it is also the largest gambling city in the world, Las Vegas has always been a favored place for all kinds of wealthy people.
It's also full of fantasists who want to get rich overnight, and for them, the casinos here are the first step to their success.
Then he became a so-called successful person.
Of course, there will always be one or two people who are lucky enough to have the chance to get the biggest sum of money they have ever seen in their lives.
But the thing is, this is Las Vegas.
Casinos will let you take that money because they want to use it to attract more guys who come to gamble and make more dollars.
The casino will also allow you to leave Las Vegas safely, but when you return to your hometown, it is up to you whether you can really keep the money perfectly.
But what's even more striking about Las Vegas now is not that there are lucky people who get a lot of money, but that the top honor of the year at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
It was almost the same as the Department of Defense charity dinner in New York, which arguably brought together the most prestigious arms companies in the United States.
But everyone knows very well that this time the award, only one person can get it, and only one person will get it.
That's Tony Stark, who is still playing under Caesars Palace.
The rest of the people came over to use Tony Stark as a backdrop or a green leaf to set off.
Most of the arms companies also tacitly turned a blind eye to this award ceremony, and chose to send an insignificant guy to take a look, and by the way, the applause was already considered a face-saving for them.
It is said that peers are enemies, and in the arms industry, Stark Industries is definitely a public enemy.
Unless one day, Stark isn't going to make weapons.
It can be said that when Carla landed on the soil of Las Vegas, she was the only CEO of an arms company in the ceremony, except for Tony Stark.
But what is even more surprising is that when Carla landed and walked out of the airport, the first person she saw turned out to be one of the targets of this trip.
Obadiah Stein.
This bald uncle is standing on the edge of his luxury car at the moment, smoking his cigar and enjoying himself.
Those who don't know may really think that this old bald head is simply smoking by the car, but Carla has a good habit of observing the person's physical signs as soon as she sees someone she is slightly familiar with.
Just now, although Obadiah's face was obscured by the smoke of the cigar, it was still clearly visible to Kara's eyes.
She clearly saw the bald guy casting a glare in her direction, very cautious, even cautious. And the moment he saw himself, his heart rate increased significantly, and it was obvious that the reason why this guy was here was himself.
Despite her lack of mind-reading ability, Kara was sure that Obadiah must have all of her own information.
Otherwise, this guy can't be waiting for himself here.
"Look, who did I meet?" Obadiah also decisively extinguished the cigar in his hand, waved his hand to disperse the smoke in front of him, and walked in front of Kara.
There was a genuine smile on that somewhat kind face.
I can't say how disgusted I am with this old bald Kara, when I first watched the movie, I really felt that this guy should definitely be sent to the gallows, but when the real person appeared in front of you.
That feeling is completely different.
It's no wonder why this guy was able to hold up the entire Stark industry after Howard Stark's death. This guy is really easy to get a crush on him, at least it's quite comfortable to get along with this kind of person.
Nothing unpleasant will happen.
But those who can do the arms business, how can there be any so-called good people, it is nothing more than to see who is better at hiding and who is better at pretending.
It just so happens that the old bald head is the best of them.
"Miss Hammer, it's really hard for such a beautiful woman to convince me that you have taken over the banner of Hammer Industries." Obadiah also walked happily towards Kara, with that kind smile on his face all the time.
"Someone said that to me yesterday." Kara also stretched out her hand, smiled and shook the hand of the smiling tiger.
Obadiah was a man with a fairly clear sense of boundaries, and after just a slight squeeze on Kara's finger, he withdrew his hand.
"Really? It seems that at least on the aspect of appearance, we are in agreement. Obadiah laughed.
Crossing his waist, Obadiah looked at Kara in front of him, and said sincerely: "I think at the beginning, I was good friends with your parents, but I didn't expect that now you two brothers and sisters can take over the company." ”
"It can only be said that you are still in style." Kara looked at the guy in front of her with a smile and a smile, without the slightest intention of refuting it.
"Hahaha." Obadiah laughed a few times and shook his head at Kara, "No, I'm still a little old, and many things don't turn as fast as young people." ”
"No, turning fast doesn't mean that you have enough experience, if my brother had the support of an old employee like you before, maybe, it would be the next Tony Stark." Karako knew too well what this guy wanted to hear, so he naturally followed this guy's words.
"Look at me, I'm so old, I still want you to enlighten me. Hahaha~" Touching his bald head, the current Obadiah is really laughing quite happily.
No one of us doesn't know that this is a scene, but the sedan chair carries people, planting more peaches and plums and less thorns, even if it is a scene, it is said that the current Obadiah is quite satisfied.
Kara just laughed at this, and didn't say anything.
"I estimate that Hammer Industries will definitely grow stronger and stronger in your hands in the future, and I think it is very likely to surpass our Stark Industries!" Obadiah put down his hand and said to Kara with a kind face, "I'm quite optimistic about you, if I really can't do it in Stark anymore, you're going to take me in, this old thing." ”
"How could Stark let you go so easily, you can rest assured." Carla was still smiling and talking, "What's more, with Mr. Stark, Stark Industries will only continue to thrive, where is the possibility of a small company like ours surpassing it?" ”
"That's a bit of a presumptuous." Obadiah seemed to be quite dissatisfied with Kara's self-humility, but instead frowned, if he didn't know that this guy was an executive of Stark Industries, it really gave people the illusion that this guy was in Hammer Industries.
"Your Hammer's foundation is not low!"
"Thanks for the compliment, we still have a lot to learn." Kara still shook her head at Obadiah with some modestty.
Obadiah clearly didn't really want to continue chatting with Kara here, as if he had stumbled upon the expensive watch on his wrist and patted his head.
"Yo! Look at my memory. Pointing to his watch, Obadiah kept tapping on the dial, as if he was afraid that Kara would not be able to see the time, "I'm going to go to the venue to see how Tony is ready." ”
"That can't delay your trip, you go first, I'm also coming to Las Vegas for the first time, I want to have a good sightseeing, and I can't send you." Kara smiled, her attitude was kind, and she couldn't see anything wrong at all.
Obadiah waved his hand quite generously: "Understand, understand! It's so fun, Las Vegas, it's really a good place, you must have a good time! ”
After speaking, Obadiah had already turned and walked towards his car, and Kara naturally didn't say anything, just watched with a smile on his face as Obadiah walked to his car.
Before Obadiah could get into the car, the old bald man stopped his steps, as if he had forgotten something important.
Turning around and walking back, he pulled out a business card from the inside pocket of his suit and handed it to Kara.
"I forgot to give you my contact information, lest you think I'm a liar when I call you." Obadiah spoke, smiling.
"How is that possible, a celebrity like you, it's too late for us to welcome Hammer." Naturally, Kara took Obadia's business card.
After seeing Carla accept the business card, Obadiah also smiled with satisfaction, and then changed the conversation: "Las Vegas is also known as the 'marriage capital', let's see if our new chairman will meet a romantic love here~"
"Ah~ha." After saying this, Obadiah also turned around with a smile and got into the car and left the airport.
It wasn't until Obadia's car was completely out of sight that Kara walked over to the car she had booked, where employees from Hammer Industries had been waiting for some time.
"Let's go." After getting into the car, Carla also directly asked the driver to drive.
As for where to go, it doesn't matter, after all, people have said that they want to have a good sightseeing in Las Vegas, how can they live up to their kindness?
His eyes fell on the business card in his hand, and the corners of Kara's mouth also hooked up a smile: "Old fox..."
His eyes were slightly red, and the business card in his hand had been directly ignited by the high temperature, and was directly thrown into the ashtray in the car by Kara.
Obadiah, who had long since left, also re-lit a cigar after Carla's figure completely disappeared into the rearview mirror, took a deep puff, felt the aroma of the cigar, and then exhaled the smoke.
Is there any kindness in your eyes when you talked to Kara before?
"Little fox..."Obadiah gave Kara almost the same assessment.
Looking up at the secretary he had brought this time, Obadiah said directly, "I hope I can see all of that woman's itinerary records before the banquet, okay?" ”
"No problem, boss."
