Chapter 6: Obadiah's Decision
After separating from the old fox, Carla has indeed been constantly in and out of various places in Las Vegas, and naturally she can notice that there are always people watching her in various places.
To Kara's senses, those people were like shooting stars in the night, and it was hard not to notice.
Even if you think about it on your knees, you know which guy wants to know his tracks.
After all, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles, this kind of thing will work in all walks of life.
If Kara is not mistaken, this kind of investigation is just a trivial matter now, and I guess there are other things waiting for her. But if something does happen, then Kara is quite looking forward to it.
It's not just about wanting to see what kind of way the guy who can kill the goose that lays the golden eggs in his own company will deal with him.
It's better to have a little bit of something new.
When night falls, there are already endless luxury cars and beautiful women in front of Caesar's Palace, but now there are even more of them.
A group of so-called celebrities are heading to Caesar's Palace, just for tonight's awards ceremony, which is also their time to expand their network.
Naturally, Carla also came to Caesar's Palace at this time, and after entering the venue, a waiter began to guide Carla to her place.
Not far from Kara's position was another Obadiah, who had just talked to each other during the day.
When he saw Kara looking at him, Obadiah also gently raised the wine glass in front of him and gestured to Kara.
For this kind of politeness of others, Kara naturally did not lose her politeness, and nodded at the old bald head.
The two of them immediately looked away from themselves and set their eyes on the award ceremony in front of them.
At least for the big guys now, there is only one protagonist tonight, and that is Tony Stark, who will definitely get the so-called highest honor.
An Air Force colonel sitting at the front was also constantly reviewing the speech in his hand at the moment, and he had no intention of being the host of this award.
But it was said that Tony would be quite honored by his award, and as someone who had known Tony since college, he knew too little that Tony would be honored to be able to present an award to a person.
Now that you have an opportunity in front of you, how can you not take advantage of it?
Colonel James Rhodes couldn't help but get a little excited at the thought of the so-called honored look that Tony might have shown to himself. Although he himself understands that this situation is a fairly small possibility.
However, even if it is only 0.1 percent, he has to seize this opportunity.
A man in a suit walked quickly to Rod's side and delivered another speech to Rod.
"What does that mean?" Rhodes looked at the speech in front of him that was no different from the one in his hand now, and he didn't know what the Ministry of Defense was crazy about.
Obviously, he has checked it according to his current speech, and the Ministry of Defense also agrees with his presiding words, but what does this thing mean now.
"It's just that I've made some other changes to what happened after the awards." The man in the suit was also blunt, and directly told Colonel Rhodes what he knew.
"Other changes?" Although Rhodes was a little unclear, he also picked up the new speech and turned directly to the last page.
The changes made after the award will only be reflected at the end.
Rod frowned when he saw the last item, he had no idea why such a decision was being read in such an environment.
He was just about to ask the man in the suit why he was here, when he saw the man in the suit shake his head.
"Colonel, this is a decision from above, and as a soldier, you'd better carry it out." After the man in the suit finished speaking, he turned around and left the venue directly.
At the same time, the big screen is now showing a video introduction about Stark Industries.
Rod also knows the current situation, his own opinions are no longer useful, the best way is to host this award ceremony as the man in the suit said, of course, to use the later host words.
The whole award ceremony is very short, and naturally when the video is introduced, it is not too long.
Everything went smoothly in between, except for the guy who was supposed to show up at the awards ceremony to win the award, which didn't show up, but instead gambled at Caesars Palace.
Everything was expected by Obadiah.
But after he accepted the award on Tony's behalf, he found that Rod had no intention of leaving the podium at all, still standing on the stage, and it looked as if there was something to announce.
"Thank you Stark, thank you Obadiah." Rod applauded lightly on the podium, and then stopped his movements, looking at the celebrities in the audience and speaking directly, "The Ministry of Defense also specially entrusted me with a matter to let me announce the news here." ”
Everyone was attracted by Rod's speech, and it stands to reason that there will be nothing else to do after such a rather important award has been announced.
After all, an awards ceremony is an awards ceremony, and if there is anything else to announce, it can be announced at a press conference tomorrow.
There is no need to speak on such an occasion, unless it is said that the people in the Department of Defense are somewhat dissatisfied with the current Stark Industries, and will make a decision at such a time.
Of course, it is not necessarily a bad thing for Stark Industries, but it may also be good news for Stark Industries.
However, if Rhodes didn't explain, then no one would know if that thing was good or bad for Stark Industries.
"It is my great pleasure to announce that the Ministry of Defense's order for the coming year will be provided by Hammer Industries." Rod also looked at everyone present with a smile and said such a sentence.
As soon as this sentence came out, it already showed that the current Ministry of Defense was somewhat dissatisfied with the state of Stark Industries.
Otherwise, it would not be possible to release absolutely bad news for Stark Industries at such a time.
Obadia, who had won the pinnacle honor because of Stark Industries, gradually faded the smile on his face, but soon brought the smile back on.
lest others here see their state.
Even Obadiah was the first to take the lead in applauding, as if he was quite happy that Hammer Industries was able to get an order from the Ministry of Defense.
But no one will tear him down at such a time, and that would be tearing his face.
Obadiah set his eyes on Kara's face, wanting to see Kara's face now.
He wondered if the Department of Defense of Hammer Industries had suppressed Stark Industries on such occasions, and Stark Industries had indeed made the Department of Defense a little dissatisfied recently.
Or rather, Stark has long made the military's procurement department unhappy. It's just that because Stark's weapons are excellent, there has been nothing to say.
Now this kind of thing is just a small warning to Stark.
After all, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are so many arms companies in the United States, at most there are relatively few large arms companies.
The order of the Ministry of Defense is really for whom it is not given, and as for those high-precision weapons of Stark, it is not that they will not buy it.
It's just a change of the things that were purchased collectively.
Kara also didn't expect that the Ministry of Defense would announce this matter on such an occasion.
What Carla did when she arrived at the charity dinner of the Ministry of Defense after getting the position of chairman was to take down the defense orders for the coming year.
It really made her succeed.
But the current situation clearly pushes Hammer Industries into the opposite side of Stark Industries.
However, even without the promotion of the Ministry of Defense, because of the relationship between Justin and Tony, Hammer Industries has already opposed each other to Stark Industries under Justin's acquiescence.
"Congratulations, Miss Hammer." Obadiah also walked in front of Kara at this time.
"Thank you." Kara also got up and nodded, in response to Obadiah's congratulations.
"Looks like I'm really going to have to watch you Hammer give me a bowl of rice in the future." Obadiah wanted to pat Kara's shoulder, probably because he found that the place was wrong, and besides, everyone was not so familiar, so he put it down a little awkwardly.
"Haha." Carla just smiled, "I still have a little business, so I'll go first, and I also congratulate Mr. Stark on getting the highest honor." ”
"I'll send you."
"No, just stay." Kara rejected Obadia's offer and left the ceremony.
Obadiah still kept his smile on his face and watched as the guests left the venue one by one.
"I'm going to go find Tony and give him this thing by the way." Rhodes was also the last to speak to Obadiah.
Looking at the trophy in Rod's hand, Obadiah also nodded with a smile, and there was no reaction, just let Rod go.
It wasn't until only the people around him were left that the old bald man no longer had that gentle smile on his face, but a cold look.
"Know where she lives today." Obadiah said in a cold voice to his new secretary.
"Yes."
"Then I want you to know what I mean." Obadiah took a deep look at the secretary beside him and left the venue directly.
And the secretary just nodded at Obadiah, who had left, even though he was Obadiah's new secretary, he still understood what his boss meant.
As for the consequences of doing so, he doesn't think about it.
The last guy who was unfavorable doesn't know where he is now.
It's the boss's orders that matter.
At this moment, he had already begun to contact the manpower, and although the boss did not speak, he knew what he should do.
