Chapter 264: Saving Stark Industries
The ability to cross the dimensional barriers between the two worlds is due to faith.
Lin Jue didn't have any intuitive feeling, but he had a feeling that he was being called from somewhere. Excluding the DC universe, the only option was the Marvel world.
By exposing the angel's disguise, the DC Universe government's resentment towards the Judgment Council was temporarily eased. Lin Jue felt it necessary to properly handle things over there.
Compared to DC, there are still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with in the Marvel world.
However, before leaving, Lin Jue first went to Patrina's house. After a brief warmth, he learned that this super catwoman is now focusing the conflict mainly on the action against Black Mask!
Different from the original plot, Patrina, who was fully enhanced after absorbing the super serum, is far from being a match for Black Mask. This made Lin Jue mourn for the former underground emperor of Gotham.
But it was also because of Patrina that Black Mask's power was repeatedly reduced, which also gave other evil forces the opportunity to develop.
This is what Lin Jue wanted to see. At the same time, he also imposed some restrictions on the blood descendants to put an end to their growing desire for killing. Leeks are like things that cannot be uprooted by the roots. They must be harvested and fed, even if the sins of Gotham are not so easy to wash away...
Give those guys some breathing space, and at the same time, let those human leaders who covet and fear vampires breathe a sigh of relief.
Possessing the ability to fully control his bloodline, Lin Jue is adept at balancing the forces of all parties!
"When can I visit that world?"
Her fair and slender arms were around Lin Jue's neck, and there was still a hint of blush on Patrina's face. Even though her physical fitness had been strengthened to a level that even she felt amazed at, it was still dwarfed by Lin Jue's.
"That world is different from here. In this world, most of the people you deal with are ordinary criminals, but there are always intelligent machine crises, alien invasions, and gods destroying the world.
I don’t feel comfortable taking you there!”
Lin Jue gently ruffled Patrina's hair and smiled faintly.
However, the lady in front of him had bright eyes and seemed even more excited, which made Lin Jue think that the person in front of him didn't seem to be a stable person either.
"Maybe we can do something fun before you leave!"
There was a hint of brightness on her face, and she blinked her delicate big eyes, then she crawled into the quilt under Lin Jue's shocked gaze.
"hiss--"
after an hour.
A time-space tunnel like a gorgeous aurora appeared in this somewhat messy bedroom. Catalina's eyes were fixed, and Lin Jue kissed her on the smooth forehead, then instantly jumped into the vortex.
As the vortex disappeared, everything around returned to normal. Patrina looked around in surprise, but Lin Jue's figure had already disappeared.
There was a hint of reluctance in her eyes, but she quickly cheered up. It was time to have some fun. Her eyes brightened and she looked towards the wall. There was a huge poster advertising an upcoming exhibition at a certain museum.
……
A commercial street in New York.
The bright sunshine shines on a giant commercial building that is nearly 100 stories high. It towers into the clouds, magnificent and spectacular, becoming a new landmark of the city, attracting the attention of white-collar workers and tourists coming and going.
There was a flash of amazement in everyone's eyes. This newly built building had recruited a large number of elite talents in a short period of time, which made other white-collar workers in the same business district yearn for it.
"I heard that this company from the UK is a newly rising giant there, involved in a wide variety of industries, a veritable behemoth!"
"I wish I could work here, Shit, but the biopharmaceutical talent they want must be at least at the master's level!"
"Haha, that's nothing. Their salary is the most attractive. I heard that the boss of this company is a famous nobleman in Great Britain, with wealth that rivals that of a country! God, he is also a generous businessman!"
Some white-collar workers who stopped to look at the building had envy on their faces. Although they were not employees of the building, it did not stop them from discussing related recruitment information outside the building.
Different from them, some people in suits walked towards the building confidently, enjoying the envious looks from people, which satisfied the vanity of some of them.
Outside the building, security personnel equipped with real guns are patrolling the surroundings non-stop to guard against any possible crises. Such security measures make the employees feel extremely safe!
And at this moment, the top floor of this giant building finally welcomed its owner.
As the azure flame flashed by, Lin Jue and the members of the Eternal Night Team arrived here.
Eldridge, who had been waiting for a long time, came forward quickly. Although he looked old, he walked with vigor and vitality, and his whole body revealed a feeling of being heroic and vigorous.
"Master! You are back."
After taking a look at Aldridge, Lin Jue went straight to the sofa and sat down, while the two captains of the Evernight team stood on his left and right, acting as guards. "Aldridge, how is the Evernight Fund doing? Have you acquired any shares of Stark Industries?"
"Originally they didn't plan to sell their shares. With our efforts, a small number of small shareholders transferred some of their shares, but the results were not satisfactory. But recently, Howard Stark, the helmsman of Stark Industries, passed away in a car accident, which dealt a heavy blow to Stark Industries and caused the stock price to plummet. We took this opportunity to swallow a large sum of money and have now become the first shareholder under Howard Stark's heirs!"
"Tsk! I didn't really notice that."
After roughly estimating the timeline, Lin Jue sighed softly, but to be honest, he and Howard Stark were not particularly familiar or close, far worse than Chester!
In response to his departure, Lin Jue could only observe three seconds of silence to show his respect.
"Some American companies have expressed strong protests against our massive acquisition of Stark Industries. They accused us of buying Stark Industries' shares at an excessively high price, violating the laws of the market!"
"Oh?"
"Our huge amount of funds is a lifeline for Stark Industries, which is hit hard and on the verge of collapse. According to rumors, Tony Tank originally planned to spend all his savings to maintain the company's stock price, but was blocked by some companies!"
A hint of curiosity flashed across Lin Jue's face, and he asked directly, "Which companies are there?"
You know, although Stark Industries has not yet reached its peak and has not been completely taken over by Tony Stark, it is not something that small fish and shrimp can covet. After all, it is a national defense cooperation enterprise that integrates military machinery manufacturing, robots and other high-tech aspects.
Want to take over this company? You really can't do it without some strength.
"The leader is Hammer Industries. After my investigation, they are currently Stark Industries' main competitor. They are also an arms giant and have close ties with national defense!"
"Hammer Industries? Now I remember..."
"Master, should we reduce our capital investment? After all, without Howard Stark, Stark Industries is in danger, and our investment interests are likely to suffer losses!"
Aldridge carefully looked at Lin Jue's expression and suggested hesitantly that, you know, according to his business insights, the current Stark Industries has completely lost its core, and compared with the old arms company Hammer Industries, it has lost its competitiveness in the national defense industry.
After all, the core of Stark Industries is not only Howard's wisdom, but also his connections in the upper echelons of the US government.
This is the key to Stark Industries being able to suppress Hammer Industries.
"Did you see Tony Stark selling his shares?"
"No……"
"Increase investment and collect all the shares sold by those fence-sitters. We will take as much as they sell. Stark Industries cannot be destroyed by a mere Justin Hammer!"
"Yes!"
His eyes flickered slightly and Aldridge quickly responded. Although he was a little puzzled and felt that this kind of business investment was simply throwing money away, Aldridge did not dare to refute Lin Jue at all.
"Also, in addition to the Eternal Night Fund, we also need something that can truly control financial wealth! Eldridge, you'll be in charge of this!"
"You mean the bank?"
Aldridge's eyes widened. As smart as he was, he naturally understood what Lin Jue meant.
"Do you have any opinion?"
Lin Jue asked. He still wanted to hear Aldridge's opinion on this aspect. After all, this guy was a real business genius. He only built such a big company because of his foresight and extraordinary temptation.
When it comes to business matters, we really have to rely on Eldridge, a business elite.
“If we were to create a bank, with our current funds, it would probably be a bit… Although it wouldn’t be a big problem, it might delay our subsequent expansion plans for quite a long time.
Moreover, both the foundation and attracting investment are relatively difficult. Compared with directly establishing a bank, I think it might be better to acquire some small banks for development.”
Aldridge's brain worked rapidly and he quickly pointed out some key factors and directly found some relatively suitable small and medium-sized banks for Lin Jue to refer to.
"Well, you are in charge of this matter. No matter what the process is, I only want the result! Banks and funds will be the most important places for our company... Eldridge, don't let me down!"
"Yes! Master!"
Aldridge shouted in a deep voice, his eyes shining. He was naturally very grateful to Lin Jue for entrusting them with such an important task. At the same time, the huge challenge also stimulated his fighting spirit.
