EP 121. Hammer's Provocation

Little did he know that in a small ice and snow town thousands of miles away, an old enemy had already missed him. Tony Stark, who had just finished a negotiation, was taking Pepper to a reception specially prepared for him by his partners.

As the investor and technology provider of the project, Stark immediately attracted the attention of the guests as soon as he arrived at the scene.

Those who simply want to build relationships, those who want to seek cooperation with a purpose, those who hold scientific research projects in their hands and hope to get investment or want to discuss difficult problems with him, plus those who are specially hired to stir up the atmosphere. The flirtatious X who wants to fly up the branches and turn into a phoenix... Stark passed one visitor after another like a revolving lantern, even though Pepper was by his side to help him deal with it, It still annoyed him enough.

But at such a juncture, another blind person came to the door.

"Hey Tony, didn't expect to see you here. How are you doing, how have you been?"

Holding a glass of champagne, with a charming and slightly vulgar woman hanging on his arm, Justin Hammer walked up to Stark and greeted him familiarly.

They clearly dislike each other, but their tone is like that of friends who have been with each other for a long time. As a businessman, Justin Hammer has already mastered the skill of 'thick skin' to the point of perfection.

"It was good at first, but now, it's not so good." Rolling his eyes, Stark smiled contemptuously while maintaining a basic demeanor, and raised his glass to respond to Hammer's greeting.

"Is it because the company's business has suffered setbacks?" Justin Hammer smiled triumphantly, with a provocative flash in his eyes: "That's right, since you closed the Stark Industries weapons R\u0026D and manufacturing department, the military's The orders are basically transferred to our company. It is normal for you, as the owner of Stark Industries, to be upset without such a large amount of income."

After taking a sip of the wine, the five of them savored it for half a second, and Hammer continued: "Tony, as a friend, if you need my help, just say so. I may not be able to help you if you help me a lot, but if you only spare a part I think it’s okay to hand over the order to Stark Industries.”

"Hehe, let's avoid it. I don't like those toys. The profit from new energy is enough for me to digest."

"Really? Speaking of new energy..." Hanmer said with a half-smile: "Sorry, I don't agree with your plan, but I think that new energy is still a little narrow in scope, and the market prospect is not good. It may not be as good as you expected."

You, a student of finance, came to talk to me, a scientist, about the application of new technologies. Are you out of your mind?

"Oh?" Seeing Hammer as a clown, Stark's eyes were full of disdain.

"The cost of miniaturization is too high, and popularization for civilian use is a big problem, don't you think?" Ignoring Stark's disdain, Hammer continued to talk loudly and expressed his views: "Also, even if you can keep the cost down, I'm not optimistic about the sales of that thing in the car. Imagine how boring the car would be if the engine didn't rattle, without the tingling vibration... As far as I know I know, you are also an avid sports car enthusiast, I believe you must also agree with what I said."

"Sorry, only me, or someone I approve, is qualified to drive a car with a reactor installed as the energy supply core." Stark shrugged with a smile: "You know, the technical requirements for a small reactor are very high, If you open it up and sell it... I'm afraid that one day you will accidentally blow yourself up. SO, look, your assumption is not valid."

"Thank you for your concern, but I still feel that you are avoiding the fact that the Ark reactor is indeed inferior to gasoline engines in certain aspects."

"Avoid? Hehe, lions never pay attention to the clamor of ants."

They were all compared to ants by Stark,

If it were someone else, I might not be able to bear it.

Only a thick-skinned like Hammer can continue to maintain a smirk: "It doesn't matter if it's shouting or something else. Tony, do you dare to compete? You know, it will be the Montreal Auto Show in a while. We How about each person offering a car and going to that auto show to see whose car is more popular among fans?"

Although the scale is not as large as that of Stark Industries, the company named Hammer Industries in Justin Hammer's hands is also a truly large multinational group.

Originally held a lot of assets around the world, and as Stark closed the company's weapons department, another large order from the US military was transferred to Hammer Industries, bringing it a new wave of growth and expansion.

Just some time ago, Hammer Industry had just invested in a local sports car brand in France, and Hammer himself also became a member of the board of directors.

Why did he suddenly jump out to provoke Stark? It was not pleasing to the eye at first, but it was also because of the new identity of Hammer - if Stark continued to promote the 'new energy plan', as time went by, he would inevitably extend his tentacles to a deeper level. close to the level of ordinary people. From the perspective of various conditions, the automobile industry must bear the brunt and be the first to be affected by this change. Combined with Stark's own habits and hobbies, if he wants to add an Ark reactor to his car, he will definitely choose his favorite sports car first...

In other words, as soon as Stark makes a move, he will break the tradition of the sports car industry and bring a great impact to the structure of this industry.

He just invested in a company specializing in the manufacture of sports cars. As a new member of the board of directors, Hammer does not want to see that kind of development. To put it simply, his position at this time is the same as those transmission energy companies that have been greatly impacted by the "new energy plan", and regards Stark as a stumbling block that hinders him from making money.

Conversely, dare to provoke Stark, who has always been good at technology, because he has just won the status of a board member-as a board member, he can get a lot of convenience, such as seconding skilled automotive engineers from the company, calling Already proven concept car design, and so on.

Justin Hammer didn't think that Stark could come up with a better design in a short period of time, and felt that he would definitely win this round.

The so-called summer worms are indescribable, nothing more.

"Not interested." Stark shook his head with little interest.

Almost every time he finds a hole card, he will come to challenge himself, but every time he loses too easily, he can't pose any threat to himself at all, and he can't even reach the level of 'making himself nervous'. Because of Justin Hammer's failures again and again, Stark has lost the mind to fight him.

And this time...

Out of a car to participate in the competition? See who is more popular with car fans? There was absolutely nothing in the gamble that could interest Stark, so he would naturally not accept it readily and waste time on Justin Hammer.
