Superman of the American Comics

Chapter 85 Howard, I'm here to discuss business

The next day, early morning.

Luke took a deep breath and lifted his head from Marina's full chest.

The world is cold and people are cold, only ______ can provide some warmth.

"I wanted to exercise in the morning..."

Seeing the corners of the eyes and brows of the person next to the pillow, there was still a lingering charm, as if he was still immersed in a sweet dream, Luke couldn't help feeling a little pity.

Although Malena worked very hard, the exercise last night was not very enjoyable.

Reaching out to pull the slipped sheet up over the shoulders of the lovely Sicilian, Luke rolled out of bed and walked into the bathroom.

After washing up, he opened the heavy curtains that blocked the light to welcome the rising sun of a new day.

"This kind of peaceful life is really desirable."

Luke began to stretch his muscles and bones. After becoming Superman, he still didn't put down a hundred push-ups, a hundred sit-ups and other daily training.

Ordered a breakfast through room service.

After eating, Luke kissed the sleepy-eyed Marina on the forehead, and then walked out in the major general uniform.

"Stark Industries."

Sitting in the black car, Luke told the location.

He was going to talk to that guy Howard about a business.

Only with sufficient funds to maintain the normal operation of S.H.I.E.L.D. can we completely get rid of the constraints of the White House and the Pentagon.

Otherwise, if the money bag is held in other people's hands, they will not even have the confidence to speak.

Stark Industries Building, located on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

It stands opposite to the Empire State Building, which is currently the tallest building in the world.

Luke's conspicuous attire is like an unimpeded pass.

"Why do you have the time to come and see me today, Major General Carville—tsk tsk, your promotion speed is simply faster than a rocket!"

Howard, who had two mustaches, smiled and brought two glasses of whiskey.

The front desk had already called to say that an unusually young army major general had come to visit.

Howard thought about it for a while, and he knew who it was.

"I happened to be back in New York, so I came here. Drinking in broad daylight, you are really indulgent enough."

Luke took the glass and looked at Howard, who was crossing his legs.

Because of the disclosure of the Manhattan Project, the other party has been in the limelight recently.

Much more popular than Captain America, who is dying, and Superman, who is gradually decreasing in public appearances.

"You don't understand, Luke. It's a sign of emptiness."

Howard took a sip for himself, frowned and said with Ge You lying down, "If there is really a goddess of wisdom in this world, then I think she has left me."

"Ever since the Manhattan Project research group disbanded, there's been a void in me that no amount of women can fill."

Luke raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It seems that you are not seriously ill."

"Yeah, Jarvis said that too. I even tried sleeping with three beautiful girls at once, but it didn't work."

Howard looked at the ceiling with both eyes, and said with a sad face: "After the short-term joy, there is an endless emptiness. Everything is so boring."

Seeing Howard who entered the sage's time, Luke shook his head and laughed, the father and son of the Stark family are really the same.

The difference is that Tony would go to the underground laboratory to fiddle with those machines every time he was drunk and glamorous, venting his overwhelming inspiration and energy.

And after his father studied the atomic bomb, he seemed to have lost interest in ordinary things.

"Can the Rubik's Cube arouse your interest and let you regain your curiosity and vitality?"

Luke took a sip of whiskey, as if seeing a fish hooked, and said lightly, "I remember you were very interested in it."

The lonely and empty Howard suddenly turned over and sat up, his eyes brightened instantly, rubbing his hands passionately and asking: "When will it start?"

"After you join S.H.I.E.L.D., the Cosmic Rubik's Cube is the highest-level containment, and non-insiders are not allowed to touch it."

Luke threw out the conditions. Now that I think about it, it's better to be the third-generation director Nick Fury.

Carter and Howard laid the groundwork, and Alexander Pierce laid the framework.

When the director of the stewed egg comes to power, it can be said that he can sit back and enjoy the benefits, as long as he finds various ways to embezzle public funds.

"SHIELD? A reorganized Strategic Science Corps? No problem!"

Howard didn't think much, and quickly nodded in agreement.

He is in the sage time and urgently needs a challenging problem to stimulate his empty heart.

Luke was quite satisfied, and it would be great to bring Howard in.

Human resources +5

S.H.I.E.L.D. scientific research strength +5!

Fund reserve +10!

"Wait, didn't you come to me today just to get me into S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

After nodding in agreement, Howard seemed to come to his senses, looked at Luke with the eyes of a scumbag, and said bitterly: "Give me back my touch!"

"Universal Rubik's Cube changes the title of a scientific research consultant, and you will not suffer."

Luke ignored Howard's accusation and continued: "Back to the point, I came to see you today for other things. I want to discuss a business with you."

When it came to business and science, and women, Howard was usually [-] percent serious.

He thought for a moment, then said carefully, "Talking about business... Stark Industries has just won two orders from the Ministry of Defense recently. The military factory and weapons research and development center under its name are basically in a state of business saturation."

"If you are short of money, I can..."

"Howard, you misunderstood me."

Luke interrupted the other party with a wave of his hand. As a businessman and the helm of a military-industrial enterprise, any judgment made by Howard should be based on reasonable consideration of the company's interests.

That's right, and doesn't make him unhappy.

"I'm not short of money."

Luke put down his wine glass, leaned on the sofa, and said such a truth that was a bit ostentatious.

Before going out, Colonel Phillips called and told him good news.

The funding for S.H.I.E.L.D. has been approved, and the location has been determined.

Now Luke, with a huge fund of 600 million, is indeed not short of money.

Tens of millions of dollars in this era are strong enough.

Although it was not his personal property, as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., embezzlement of public funds was naturally a traditional art, so there was no problem.

"Congress should give me some face and not let S.H.I.E.L.D. stay in dilapidated buildings like the FBI."

The reason why Luke said this is because intelligence agencies like the FBI and CIA could only work in a few old-fashioned apartments near the White House at the beginning of their establishment, and the allocated activity funds were only 45 US dollars.

Compared to them, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been treated favorably.

"Well, it looks like you really want to talk business."

Howard shrugged his shoulders and said with a correct attitude: "Let me hear, the youngest major general in the United States, the greatest war hero, what good ideas does he have for making a fortune."

"Does Stark Industries have any plans to enter the communications industry?"

Luke is going to build mobile phones and communication networks before the advent of the communication era.

The reason why he thinks this way is simply because he is not used to this age when information transmission is too backward.

In 1940, Bell Laboratories in the United States produced the first mobile phone in the field.

In 1958, Soviet engineer Leonid Kuplijanovich made further improvements to the mobile phone, reducing the weight from three kilograms to five hundred grams.

There are two brick-sized wireless phones that have to wait until 1973 to be developed by Martin Cooper, an engineer and technician from Motorola.

The current communications industry is like a gold mine waiting to be mined by others.
