Chapter 144 Justine Hammer
Justine Hammer's reply came many times faster than Levi expected. Less than three minutes had passed since Wei Jing sent the request for negotiation and related information, and Justine couldn't wait to meet Levi.
It seems that the mess caused by her father has indeed brought her a lot of pressure. After seeing the value of this information, she really doesn't want to miss this life-saving straw.
Since it was indeed on his way, Levi asked Wei Jing to reply and made an appointment to meet later.
On the way, Wei Jing also conducted further investigation. Levi soon learned that in order to compensate Stark and the American government for their losses, Hammer Military's public account and Justin's personal account were basically emptied.
Most of Justin's assets in various places were confiscated, and he was also burdened with a debt of an unknown amount, but definitely a huge amount.
The reason why Hammer Industries was retained instead of being nationalized was, on the one hand, because Stark said that the products of Hammer Industries were not reliable at all.
For example, the "ex-wife" who was praised by Justin to the sky before, didn't even show up in actual combat.
The military is somewhat apprehensive about this and doesn't dare to use it, so they decide to do Stark a favor.
On the other hand, they also hope that someone will step forward to take over the mess of Hammer Military Industries and take over the debts as well.
With the foundation of Hammer Military Industries, at least on the surface there seems to be a way to make money and slowly repay the debt.
For Justine, this was a disaster. If she relied on her own strength, it would be almost impossible for her to rebuild Hammer Industries unless she was a genius like Stark and had developed some new weapons.
Levi was really curious, where did she get the confidence from?
Not long after, Levi arrived at his destination on the dangerous motorcycle.
There, Justine Hammer, who had received the notice in advance, had been waiting for a long time.
This made Levi feel quite satisfied. If nothing else, at least this girl was very sincere.
When Justine saw Levi, so young and so unique, riding a motorcycle with a dog on the back seat, she was a little surprised, but she didn't show it on the surface.
The world has never lacked geniuses, but geniuses always have some quirks.
Besides, no matter what, the previous information could not be false.
It doesn’t really matter who developed them. What matters is that they can save the current Hammer Military Industries!
"Hello, Mr. Levi, I'm Justine Hammer, and I'm very happy to welcome you. You're more handsome than I thought."
"Hello, Miss Hammer, I am also amazed by your beauty."
As they got closer, Levi obtained some information that he had not been able to find on the Internet before the danger.
For example, this girl has obviously received very professional military training. The smooth muscle lines on her body are not achieved by injections and medication alone, but are the result of long-term and persistent exercise.
Especially the thin callus at the base of the thumb. Although it doesn't look like what soldiers or agents who make a living by using guns would get, it's obviously not something that can be obtained by just playing around occasionally.
Moreover, she had obviously used some kind of human strengthening drug, which was definitely not comparable to Compound No. 5. But with her height of meters and a pair of long legs, she would have no problem dealing with three or five ordinary strong men.
For example, even in her current dire state, she still has more than a dozen well-trained bodyguards armed with live ammunition in her villa.
The way they treated Justine was not a normal superior-subordinate relationship between employer and employee, but more like a colleague.
There is no doubt that they were sent by a special organization.
She said she was going abroad to study, but could she actually have joined some special organization?
Like, Hydra?
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Levi got straight to the point: "I'm not happy with Tony Stark's arrogance, and I've also heard about your father, so I think we'll be good partners."
Justine's face lit up immediately: "It seems we have a common enemy."
But in reality, she didn't think so in her heart.
In fact, she didn't like her father very much. It could even be said that she had certain opinions and even hostility towards him.
If it is simply because of emotional discord, it is very normal for parents to divorce.
But what she couldn't tolerate was that Justin gave up her mother because he had an emotional entanglement with another man!
And after the divorce, in order to prevent others from knowing his secret, he not only said bad things about her mother in public many times, but even named many weapons after his ex-wife.
He tried to use this method to tell others how evil his previous life was and how much pain and torture he had suffered in this marriage.
Under such circumstances, when she learned that he was sent to prison, it was hard to say whether she was more worried or happy.
Now Justin needs to pay the price for his stupid behavior and he needs to sober up in jail.
The reason why she came back to take over the family business might be out of revenge. After he is released from prison, I wonder how he will feel when he sees that Hammer Military Industries is no longer his.
As for revenge against that playboy Tony Stark, she doesn't have the leisure to do so.
When Levi heard this through telepathy, he couldn't help but feel a little strange. How could Justin play such a fancy trick?
But she is quite self-aware in not seeking revenge on Stark. In this way, the cooperation between the two sides may be able to be more long-lasting and stable.
But this is probably just her current thought, maybe it will change in the future.
As far as Levi knows, in the comics, Scarlet Cloak seems to have teamed up with Mandarin to fight Iron Man more than once.
At that time, she had a special cloak that could teleport, turn her invisible, and be used as a weapon.
This means that unless she encounters a magical being like Doctor Strange, she can move freely on the battlefield in most cases.
Thanks to telepathy, Levi easily found out the other party's bottom line, and the subsequent negotiations were naturally very smooth.
In the end, Levi handed over the technology of the Tek combat suit and the Green Goblin glider to the other party in the form of technology investment. At the same time, he became the vice president of Hammer Military Industries and enjoyed all the rights.
At the same time, he also acquired a large number of shares in Hammer Military. Together with the shares acquired before the crisis, the total share reached an astonishing 45%, which is exactly the same as Justine.
That's right, the two of them own 90% of Hammer Military Industries' shares. Even if they want to delist voluntarily now, it won't be difficult.
It is conceivable how pessimistic the capital market was towards Hammer Military Industries after Justin was imprisoned.
But from now on, everything will change.
The two things Levi brought may not be a big deal for Iron Man, but for Hammer Industries, they are enough to bring it back to life.
It's a bit of a pity that after Justin was thrown into prison, all the information about the Iron Man-imitating robots made by Whiplash, as well as the energy sources and electric whips, were confiscated. Otherwise, there might have been more inspiration.
After signing the contract, both parties were completely tied together, and Justine enthusiastically invited Levi to stay for dinner.
Levi listened and confirmed that she really just wanted to treat him to a meal, not to eat herself.
He originally planned to refuse, but after thinking about it, he thought that this might not be an opportunity.
He immediately used some of his psychic abilities: "Thank you very much, Miss Justine, I am indeed a little hungry."
"But I'm a little tired now, and I'd like to borrow your place to rest. Is that convenient?"
Justine was stunned for a moment. Although they were now partners, they had only known each other for a few hours in total. Was Levi so presumptuous?
But when she looked at Levi's handsome face again, it seemed to be radiating brilliant golden color under the reflection of the sun, and she couldn't help but swallow secretly.
A very bold idea emerged in her mind, maybe their relationship could become closer.
Or even if Levi doesn't agree afterwards, it doesn't matter. Even if it's only for one night, she won't suffer any loss!
When she thought of this, Justine couldn't help but quietly squeeze her legs together. She nodded very readily: "Of course, no problem, please follow me."
Having said this, she began to lead the way in front, somewhat impatiently.
Levi was also a little surprised. He originally just wanted to find an opportunity for the two of them to be alone and use his psychic powers to get Justine to tell the secret, but he didn't expect to get some unexpected gains!
But there was no reason to refuse the meat that was right in front of him, so he naturally chose to follow.
Seeing this, Justine's nominal servants, assistants and security personnel around her couldn't help but look at each other, with somewhat ambiguous expressions.
If it was just to lead the way to the guest room, why would Justine have to go there in person?
They were all adults now, and everyone knew her little thoughts. It looked like their dinner would have to be postponed for a long time.
But this is not the point. The point is that they need to report what happens here to the leader as soon as possible.
The sudden appearance of Levi did play a significant role in promoting their plan, but to be on the safe side, they needed to dig deeper into his information to ensure that he would not become a threat to them!
