Norman raised the wine glass in his hand, smiled, and praised without hesitation: "Hi, Tony, Jake, it's such a pleasure to meet you, it's my honor."

"By the way, when I came here just now, I also read the newspaper this morning. The idea of ​​the dream proposal is really great. Our Osborne Industry absolutely supports this matter. Do the three of us want to cooperate together? Justin, he and I think the same way."

Justin nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, helping more people realize their dreams is indeed what we big industries and big entrepreneurs should do."

After Tony heard this, he applauded and smiled: "That's really great. This should be the best news I've heard recently. Our Stark Industries prepared 100 billion in cash this time, and Osborne Industries and Hanmer Industries should be the same as us, each contributing 100 billion in cash."

When Norman heard the words, he took a deep breath and asked in shock, "Tony, it's really 100 billion in cash. Isn't this a bit too much?"

Zhou Ran pushed his glasses and said with a smile: "Mr. Norman, if both Osborne Industries and Hammer Industries join in this matter, then Stark Industries won't have to work so hard. You must know that this time to complete Meng proposed this project, but we negotiated a huge order with the military!"

After hearing this, Justin frowned, the flesh on his face was trembling, and he asked very nervously: "But, didn't Stark Industries' official website say last month that for the cause of peace, it was decided to reduce weapons again?" production?"

Chapter 85 Bleeding Osborne Industry and Hanmo Industry (please read more! Please collect!)

Tony laughed out loud when he heard this, and explained: "Oh, Mr. Justin, isn't it normal to sign a contract with the military in order to realize more people's dreams? I decided to re-expand the weapons industry, starting today Big Jerick missile production."

Rhodes nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, Tony, we must vigorously develop weapons and increase the production of Jerick missiles. Jerick missiles are really easy to use."

"And don't you want to develop a more powerful missile? By the way, Tony, it's the more powerful missile you told me about last time. How is it going?"

Tony slapped his thigh when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Hey, Rhodes, if you don't tell me, I will forget it. The last time I just proposed an idea in the company, I was stopped by Jake. In the current situation, it should be possible to start again." Research it, Jake, you shouldn't stop it this time!"

After hearing this, Zhou Ran took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Well, Tony, for the Dream Proposal, we should indeed increase the production of some Jerick missiles and restart weapon research. There is no way for us to do this. It is really difficult for a company like Tucker Industries to support the dreams of the people of New York!"

Rhodes smiled and said, "Okay, then it's settled. I'll be in charge of the order. Stark Industries' weapons are very famous in the military!"

When Norman heard this, he became anxious, coughed twice, and dissuaded him: "Ahem, Tony, I don't think you should continue to develop new weapons. The current weapons are powerful enough. Continue to develop new ones." Weapons are not a good thing, isn't this a global arms race?"

Justin also looked anxious, and quickly echoed: "Yeah, this is likely to produce the next Great Depression, which is not a good thing for the whole of New York and the United States, and it will interrupt the development of our entire United States. Tony , this is absolutely impossible!"

After hearing this, Zhou Ran shook his head, smiled confidently, and said confidently: "Oh, Mr. Norman, Mr. Justin, you are too worried. I graduated from the Department of Business Administration of New York University, and I also took a degree in economics. PhD."

"I made a model estimate for the future economic development of the United States. There will be no Great Depression in the next 50 years. This is the topic of my graduation thesis. I am very confident that there will be absolutely no problems."

Tony smiled, and deliberately said loudly: "Jake, if you say that, then I will be more confident. After I return from Afghanistan this time, I will study that epoch-making weapon..."

"Rhode, you can finalize it with the military when you go back. I believe the military will definitely finalize my latest masterpiece, Tony."

Rhodes nodded solemnly, patted his chest, and said with a smile: "Don't worry Tony, this matter is on me. Our military has always been very confident in Stark Industries!"

"Our military's friendship with Stark has lasted for almost a century."

After Norman heard this, he panicked instantly. Damn it, it is true that a weapon development company said that it would drop a large number of weapons orders, all of which were false.

He took a deep breath and said, "Ahem, I don't think there is any rush for weapons. This kind of epoch-making weapon is too dangerous and can easily affect the peace of the world. Why don't you slow it down first? "

Hearing this, Zhou Ran sighed, first he pushed his glasses, then he spread his hands and said helplessly: "What can we do then? The American dream, everything we do is for the American dream! And in the Is it a bit of a joke to draw conclusions so easily before the weapons come out?"

"Mr. Norman, I don't quite agree with this idea of ​​predicting bad things in the future."

Tony nodded and echoed: "Well, it is true, and Mr. Norman, Mr. Justin, you must have confidence in Jake's economic model. You must know that since Jake joined Stark Industries, the stock of our Stark Industries Haven't fallen yet! Well, Jake, with your support, developing weapons is a breeze for me, and I'm a genius, Tony."

Justin Hammer, who has been silent for a long time, heard the words, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said: "Well, regarding Stark Industries' Dream Fund, we Hammer Industries will help, as long as Tony no longer develops cross-age weapons, and I, Justin Hammer, can spend five billion in cash!"

Norman also gritted his teeth, and said, "Tony, I can also pay five billion, as long as I don't develop new weapons, and I hope that Stark Industries can say on the official website that you have always been an all-American The most trustworthy and conscientious enterprise must not destroy its good reputation by itself!"

Hearing this, Zhou Ran looked at Tony, frowned, and said, "Why don't you think about it, Tony? I think what Mr. Norman and Mr. Justin said made a lot of sense. Tony, you know that from the bottom of my heart, no I hope to develop an epoch-making weapon. But you are the chairman of Stark Industries, and this matter still depends on your thinking."

"Besides, Tony, this dream fund jointly established by our three industries will definitely cause a sensation in the United States. This is a great thing!"

Tony was silent for a long time, took a deep breath, and said, "Alright then! Jake, my father Howard once told me that a person should be honest, so the orders of the weapons industry should remain the same, as before."

Hearing Tony Stark's words, Norman Osborn and Justin Hammerzi took a deep breath, dispelling Tony's idea, and it was worth the money.

You need to know how to make a few big orders with the military to reach a friendship.

Successfully replacing Stark Industries' position in the military, then Osborne Industries and Hanmo Industries really have everything.

After several people continued to have a friendly chat for a while, Norman Osborn and Justin Hammer slowly got up and said goodbye.

Look at the figures of the two who are far away.

Zhou Ran pushed his glasses, looked at Tony with a smile, and said, "How about Tony? This time I feel a lot more comfortable. In fact, sometimes you only need to participate in this award ceremony a few times, and you will experience more. Such joy..."

"As long as I seize the opportunity, I will definitely be able to disgust Norman Osborn and Justin Hammer. The happiness brought by the two of them can make me work with passion for several weeks."

After hearing this, Tony nodded, gave Zhou Ran a thumbs up, and said with a big smile, "Indeed, Jake, I feel so happy when you say such disgusting words from these two old foxes. strength."

"Norman Osborn and Justin Hammer, these two old foxes are really going to bleed a lot this time. Looking at the expressions of the two of them, I am really happy. I have been suppressing myself just now. laugh."

Zhou Ran smiled when he heard the words, and said, "However, such opportunities are hard to come by. There are actually not so many opportunities to really disgust these two old foxes."

"This time, it's mainly because of Rhode's presence, plus Tony, you personally participated in the military award ceremony, and you have to go to Afghanistan tomorrow. All of these things add up to make this happen."

Rhodes smiled and said: "Tony, Jake, these two old foxes really care about the military's orders and the military's attitude, and both of their industries are working hard to develop new types of weapons according to the military's description. "

Chapter 86 Star Bar

After a while, General Ross stepped onto the podium and began to speak loudly.

His speech lasted for more than half an hour, and it was not over yet. I really can't think of where the general came from so many words.

Tony Stark, who was sitting under the stage, had completely exhausted his patience at this time. He had no patience at all. He took a deep breath, stood up directly, and looked at Zhou Ran and Rhodes.

Tony didn't speak, but he could tell from his eyes that this was a multiple-choice question, choose me or him.

Zhou Ran got up straight away. Of course he wanted to choose Tony. Don't ask, asking is love. If you want to survive in the Marvel universe, this is the most correct choice.

The two looked at Rhodes in unison.

Under the watchful eyes of the two, Rhode stood up reluctantly. Damn, damn it, I can only hope that General Ross will not be so stingy. Well, a person who can become a general must have a big stomach.

The three of them left the awards ceremony directly like this. General Ross, who was giving a speech on the stage, couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth.

……

Queens, New York.

Black Street, Star Bar.

This is a bar that Zhou Ran used to come to often. The owner of the bar is Lu Chen, a very handsome Asian.

In Zhou Ran's eyes, this bar is similar to the Sichuan restaurant opened by Lao Mo, both of which belong to the nature of more interests than professions.

This bar is very quiet, and there are no customers in it, only the owner, Lu Chen, and two very sexy bunny girls.

Zhou Ran used to come here often. It was the few years when he just crossed over and joined Stark Industries. At that time, he was really worried all day long and under a lot of pressure. He had to anesthetize himself with alcohol every night to make himself fall asleep. .

Later, when it was reused a little bit and the development got better and better, he didn't need to come often.

In addition, after going to the martial arts hall to practice martial arts, Master Rick always told him to drink less alcohol and stay away from alcohol. Warriors must always maintain their own meditation.

Zhou Ran seldom goes to bars.

This time Zhou Ran proposed to Tony to drink, so naturally he would be in charge of the drinking place.

The first thought in his mind was this Star Bar. It was very quiet and there were no people there. It was very suitable for drinking and talking with good friends.

Star Bar.

Zhou Ran brought Tony and Rhodes in slowly.

Looking at the decoration in the bar, Tony showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Jake, you are really hiding something! You even hid such a good drinking place with me, and the decorations here are all antiques. , It’s very historical. But why didn’t I see those two very beautiful bunny girls you mentioned?”

Zhou Ran smiled, and said: "It's daytime, not night, so bunny girls can't go to work all the time, they have to rest. At night, bunny girls will come to work."

Rhodes nodded, sighed, and said with great emotion: "Tony, you really should think less about those unhealthy things. Doing too much of that kind of thing really hurts your body."

"You are still young now, and you will know when you are forty. What I said today is absolutely true."

Tony rolled his eyes and said mockingly, "Rhod, don't underestimate my energy, Tony. Once I fully fire up, all the cover girls for twelve months will not be enough."

Seeing this, Zhou Ran shook his head, and led the two of them to the bar to sit down.

Lu Chen, who was immersed in mixing drinks, slowly raised his head and said with a smile, "Zhou, you haven't been here for a long time, it should be two months and seventeen days."

"Are these two your friends? This is the first time you have brought someone here."

Zhou Ran nodded and introduced: "Xiao Lu, these two are my very good brothers. This one is Rhodes, and you should have seen the other one in the news and newspapers."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "That person should be Mr. Tony Stark. I've seen him in the news, and his name always appears in the newspapers."

Then, Lu Chen pointed to the wine list on the table and asked, "Mr. Tony, Mr. Rhodes, what would you two like to drink?"

Tony smiled and said, "Come on, the three of us are going to get really drunk today."

Rhodes nodded and said, "Well, that's right, I just want to get drunk."

After hearing this, Lu Chen snapped his fingers and said, "No problem, I will definitely let you experience the feeling of getting drunk."

Then he looked at Zhou Ran again, and asked with a smile: "Zhou, what do you want to drink? Is it still the same?"

Zhou Ran shook his head and said with a smile: "Xiao Lu, I'll talk about it later, I'll drink with them first, and I'll get Tony and Rhodes drunk first."

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Then you will definitely be able to get them drunk, I am very confident in your drinking capacity."

3 minute later.

After Lu Chen mixed the wine, he put the wine in front of the three of them, each with seven glasses, a total of 21 glasses.

Then, he slowly walked out of the bar.

Tony raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhou Ran, and said very unhappily: "Jake, what does he mean? After mixing the wine, he just left without saying a word, without introducing him. This is the first time I have met someone with such a personality. Weird boss."

"I feel that I have been seriously hurt. I, Tony Stark, have never been treated like this. He is really arrogant, as if he didn't take me seriously, and there are only seven cups, which is too much. Underestimate me."

Rhodes shrugged and joked with a smile: "Hey, Tony, how does this feel? It's hard, you know you've always been like this."

"If people who don't really know you well, they will have bad feelings for you when they see you for the first time."

Tony frowned, looked at Zhou Ran, pointed at himself and asked, "Jake, am I really proud? Why don't I feel it? And do I really have bad senses?"

After hearing this, Zhou Ran shook his head, smiled and gave his own answer: "No, I don't feel that way. Tony, I think you are like this now, your temper is really real and wonderful, very Charming. If I had your creative genius, I would be much more arrogant than you."

"Actually, the answer is very simple. Everyone scolds Tony Stark, but everyone wants to be Tony Stark."

After hearing this, Tony laughed out loud, and said very proudly: "Hahaha... So I understand, um, there is nothing wrong with my personality, the problem is with them, they are jealous of me."

When Rhodes heard this, he didn't know what to say for a moment, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Maybe this is the old oriental saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and in Jake's eyes, Tony is beauty.

Zhou Ran smiled, pointed to the seven glasses of wine in front of him, and explained to Tony and Rhodes: "Tony, Rhodes, these seven glasses of wine made by Xiaolu have a lot of background and are very artistic. He As I told you, the seven glasses of wine were inspired by music, and each piece of music consists of seven notes."

"These seven notes, we all know, duo (do) come (re) mi (mi) send (fa) instigate (sol) la) west (si). These seven notes can constitute all the movements in the world, The seven glasses of wine in front of me can also tell all the stories in the world."

"Well, there is Xiao Lu, who looks very proud, but actually he is very gentle. He is going to play for us. The piano he plays is really nice. This is definitely at the level of a great musician. Good luck."

Chapter 87 The Conversation of Three Men

Zhou Ran finished his introduction.

Lu Chen sat in front of the piano, rubbed his ten white and slender fingers, and with a smile on his face, he started to play.

As the white and slender fingers lightly pressed the black and white keys, an incomparably beautiful movement sounded in the Star Bar.

The movement is like a gurgling spring, like a blue ocean, like a red sky in the setting sun...

At this moment, each note seems to have its own soul, they seem to come alive, and they compete to show their charm.

Listening to this wonderful movement, Tony opened his eyes wide and his face was full of surprise. He first gave a thumbs up, then picked up the wine in front of him, and praised with a smile: "It is no exaggeration to describe, this is definitely my The best music I've ever heard in my life, and I can't wait to taste it."

"Jake, Rhodes, let's have a big drink together."

Rhodes nodded, picked up the wine in front of him, and said with a smile: "Yes, let's have a big drink. This is a rare gathering for the three of us. We are usually very busy, so how can we have this leisure time. Oh, this sentence The premise is that Tony is excluded."

Zhou Ran also picked up the wine in front of him, and said with a smile: "Rod, don't say that, I'm going to speak for my boss. Tony is very busy every day, he has to do various things every day. He is a very tired mental worker."

After hearing this, Rhodes shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Jake, this is too unfair. The sum of the two of you is 2>1. It seems that I can't talk about Tony today. I'd better have a drink!"

"Ding……"

Three glasses full of wine collided together, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

When middle-aged men drink together, they talk about three things. The first is to complain, the second is to brag, and the third is to be a woman.

Of course, there is a fourth type, which is to really drink too much and start talking nonsense.

Rhodes usually drinks well, but the bartender today is not an ordinary person. After drinking a glass of wine, he went straight to the head and started to complain wildly: "Oh, you know? My immediate boss is like a pig It's so stupid that he wants everyone to praise him and praise him."

"Oh, he really has no IQ at all, he can do all kinds of stupid things."
