I Am Gwen's Spider-Man Mentor.

Chapter 122 Justin Hammer and Death Whip

Justin Hammer has been quite contented lately.

With the help of Raymond Xu, Tony Stark withdrew from the competition in the arms industry. As one of the most promising military industrial companies under Stark Industries, Justin Stark Hammer quickly outmaneuvered his other rivals in the Pentagon procurement.

But Justin Hammer is different from Tony Stark or Raymond Xu. If Jobs is a technical expert who led Apple to usher in a new era of mobile phones, then Cook is a marketing genius. Under his leadership, Apple's earnings reports made shareholders and investors smile -

People like Raymond Xu and Tony Stark are more similar to the characters of Jobs, while Justin Hammer is more like the Cook of this world. He is not a technical expert. On the contrary, he is a person who hates technology from the bottom of his heart. marketing genius.

In Justin's eyes, technology is just a smelly thing. Without marketing packaging, technology is nothing.

Before the 21st century, due to the pressure from the Red Empire, the Pentagon's procurement was relatively more pragmatic. The tradition left by McNamara was to spend every penny wisely.

But after entering the 21st century, with the collapse of the red empire, the Pentagon and the US military began to become complacent. They began to boast some fantastic concepts - just because those concepts looked "dazzling enough" and were easier to defraud from Congress. Higher military spending.

Therefore, it's time for the "pragmatic era" represented by Stark Industries to ebb, and now it's time for the "postmodern" of his Justin Hammer!

But no matter how good he is at packaging, he still has to have technology as the core.

Almost all of Hammer Industries' technology comes from acquisitions. After the 90s, a large number of once-glorious US military industrial enterprises went bankrupt or were acquired by Hammer Industries at low prices - including the F-14 that once produced it." Grumman Tomcat fighter jet.

If this world also had Captain Peter Mitchell of the Naval Aviation played by Tom Cruise in "Top Gun", I wonder how he would feel when he saw Grumman being hollowed out by Hammer Industries.

But at this juncture, Hammer Industries' patchwork of plagiarized products is obviously not enough to win a decisive large order from the Pentagon.

Hammer opened the black box in front of him and took out a small silver missile from the groove of the thick sponge pad. He played with the missile with the fuse removed. After a long time, there was a knock on the office door.

"Boss, we found the son of Anton Fanko you mentioned."

The corners of Hammer's mouth curled up. He had many friends in the Pentagon. In addition, Senator Stern, who was closely related to SHIELD, also told him some news——

During the Cold War, Anton Fanko, a scientist who defected from Russia, seemed to have made some epoch-making technological creations with Howard Stark.But later Howard unloaded the mill and killed the donkey and sent Anton Fanko back to Russia.

Howard's momentary "loss of mind" gave him room for Justin Hammer to exploit the loophole. Who knows what kind of deal Anton Fanko made with Howard back then?

After all, it doesn't cost much to find a poor drunk from Russia.

The secretary continued to report to Hammersmith: "We found a design drawing of a cold fusion reactor from him. Although it is still quite primitive, it looks quite technologically promising."

Hammer's eyes lit up - low-temperature nuclear fusion, what an epoch-making technology this is, if he, Justin Hammer, releases this technology, then Tony Stark will become a technical baby in front of him, He Hammer will become a scientific and political all-rounder of this era!

Raymond Xu, who Wall Street calls "the product of the combination of the goddess of science and the god of politics", is nothing more than a clown who deceives the world and steals his reputation in front of him!

Hammer stood up, he pushed his eyes upwards, smiled evilly and said, "Bring him to me!"

----split line----

Gwen squatted on the roof of the laboratory, but she didn't want to go downstairs.

That guy Raymond obviously returned to New York two days ago, but he first went to Fisk to talk about business cooperation, then went to the NYPD to see their director, and then went to the New York City Government and Parliamentary lobbying…

After all this busy work, I just haven’t seen her, Gwen Stacy!
Has anyone ever neglected his girlfriend so much?

Gwen was a little sad. He seemed to have no idea how sad he was and was busy with all the big things... But the blond girl was still rational and independent after all, even though she was going crazy thinking about him, and even became a little depressed. …

But, in the final analysis, he was busy with business, and he had no position to accuse him, right?
So Gwen silently swallowed the grievance of being left out in her heart. On the contrary, everyone in the laboratory was already well aware of the upcoming Stark Expo, and the girl was on high alert - her spider sense was Warned her about this repeatedly!
Gwen stretched her slender and toned legs out on the rooftop, and sat slumped on the roof, staring at her Skype account. The last chat record with Raymond on it was still from three days ago:

He said - "Good night".

Obviously when we first got together, he would say good night every day...

Gwen curled her lips pretending not to care. She crossed out the chat interface and browsed some web pages at random, but she felt that the anxiety in her heart was getting worse.

After a while, the girl tucked the pink highlights hanging in front of her behind her ears. She carefully typed out a line of words on the physical keyboard: "I miss you."

But after typing this line of text into the input box, the girl became confused again.After a while, she closed her eyes, turned her head, and clicked send——

"Ding dong!"

The message tone sounded instantly, and the girl opened her eyes in surprise, but she saw the message Betty sent her:

"The investigation of the Williamsburg Bank has made progress... Also, don't you want to learn some news communication knowledge from me? How about this afternoon?"

The girl sighed softly. After all, the pain of lovesickness is just an embellishment in the life of Ghost Spider-she and he both have heavy responsibilities, and she cannot abandon her responsibilities as a spider woman just because she misses him.

"Then afternoon!" Gwen replied quickly, and then the girl stood up and pulled herself out with a thread of spider silk.

"Ding dong!"

Raymond's cell phone rang in his pocket, but he had no intention of looking at his cell phone at the moment.The rotating CEO is suppressing his anger and facing another rotating CEO.

"Pepper, I don't agree to let Hammer Industries participate in the Stark Expo. They are liars who only copy!" Raymond emphasized to the dignified blonde sitting on the sofa in front of him.

"Xu, you are biased. From a business perspective, we have absolutely no reason to prevent Hammer Industries from participating in this expo." Little Pepper did not show any weakness at all and replied rather forcefully:

"Also, I think you have too deep a prejudice against Justin Hammer. Although his personal ethics are indeed bad enough and he is arrogant, he is a successful CEO after all."

Raymond stood up a little irritably and walked around with his hands on his hips. He really didn't know how to convince this woman... Of course, it wasn't the woman's problem.

After all, he said that Justin Hammer, a guy with evil intentions, would definitely be able to do something to turn the exposition that Stark Industries had finally planned into a mess. This kind of prediction can only make Pepper think that he has succeeded. From scientist to goddess.

After all, in this era, Karma Taj is still a reclusive urban legend, and Doctor Strange is still performing neurosurgery not far from him.

"In short, I don't agree, and I won't agree!" Raymond emphasized to Pepper, "Unless Hammer Industries can prove that their work is not plagiarized!"

"I don't want to quarrel with you, Xu, but you usually do things with reason." Pepper's tone was a little disappointed, "You are exactly the same as Tony in this matter. I thought he was the only one who was so immature, but I didn't expect him to be so immature." You are all the same!”

Raymond Xu scratched his head. He still planned to stop this matter, but now it was a deadlock, what could he say?

There was silence in the office. The professor turned his back to Pepper and took a sip of coffee. When he turned around and was about to add something, the door was pushed open.

Helen Zhao came in with a smile: "Two CEOs, I heard that you are worried about the Stark Expo?"

Pepper and Raymond looked at each other and confirmed the information that Helen Zhao could trust from Raymond's eyes, and then the blonde woman said: "Xu wants to disqualify Hammer Industries from participating in the exhibition because he thinks that Justin Hammer does not It won’t bring any epoch-making technical works.”

Hearing this, Helen Zhao pondered for a moment and proposed a compromise option:

"How about we ask everyone who wants to participate in the expo to report their projects to us in advance, and we will do the review and control. If we find that Hammer Industries' products really have nothing to show, we don't have to give them this stage."

Pepper nodded and looked at Raymond.

Raymond looked at Helen Zhao, the beautiful doctor who was rescuing him, and turned around and smiled at him. Then he finally sighed and agreed: "Okay, I promise you."

After a long while, the professor added: "After all, what we are holding is a science and technology expo. If Hammer wants to participate in the exhibition, let their chief designer come on stage, and he himself should not go up and dance!"

Helen Zhao and Little Pepper on the sofa looked at each other. Looking at the "stubborn" professor, Little Pepper finally laughed and replied:

"Okay, we promise you!"

Outside the door, a graduate student secretly slid away from the door. His movements were as light as a cat. Only Felicia, who raised her head from her workstation, noticed all this.

　Happy National Day everyone!
