Chapter 52 West Coast
When he arrived at the branch, Coulson mysteriously brought him a piece of equipment. It was a box that looked like a fanny pack. Inside the all-black box was the Willow Leaf Throwing Knife that Link had used before.
Placed on the back of the waist, there is a pair of special half-finger gloves with control buttons on them. When pressed, the flying knives will pop out from both sides of the box. One hundred willow leaf flying knives can be placed inside.
Link liked it very much. After putting on the equipment, he tried it. It was indeed more convenient than a belt bag, but it contained too little.
There are four in total, all built for him by SHIELD's technical department. Naturally, they cannot compare with Hawkeye's equipment. In SHIELD's view, the shooting range of flying knives is limited after all.
They didn't know how far Link could shoot, and Link naturally didn't care. He could also be equipped with a large number of firearms, and the throwing knives were reserved for close combat.
Putting the things aside, he then asked: "Colson, if I want to enter someone else's computer and copy the data inside, what do I need?"
"This is easy!" Colson quickly brought over a USB flash drive, which was much larger than those sold on the market. "Just insert it directly. It will automatically crack and download when the time comes. You can take this."
"What else do you need?"
"A car, preferably a faster sports car, black for concealment at night." Link thought for a while and made another request.
This is to facilitate his tracking. If Obadiah Stane wants to snatch the energy core, he must take action against Stark. Then it will be logical for him to capture him.
But he didn't know the specific time, and this might not be guaranteed, "There is also a sniper rifle."
"Okay, I'll go make arrangements." Colson quickly got ready, and Link put everything in the car, then said hello and drove directly back to the hotel.
Jessica had come back. When she saw Link coming in, she immediately said, "Dear, there is a dinner party for us shareholders tonight."
"No problem, I'll go with you." Link then said: "It seems we need to buy a house here, and we will probably come here often in the future."
"Okay, you have the final say." Jessica didn't care about this, but she still asked: "Should I still buy an apartment?"
"Apartment?" Link thought for a moment, then shook his head, "No, let's buy a villa this time!"
"This place is different from New York. It's better to have a villa, so we don't have to worry about the floor and bed." Link teased.
Jessica's face turned red. She couldn't control herself at critical moments. She used a lot of force every time, otherwise they wouldn't be doing things in the gym now.
"If you buy a villa, you can also get a gym, which will make it easier to train."
…
Tony Stark did not show up at the cocktail party in the evening. This was Stanney's method. On the one hand, he wooed shareholders and united to suppress Stark by shutting down the weapons department. On the other hand, he was also preparing for the future.
Link and Jessica are new faces. This time they control 10% of the shares. Although it is in the name of a charity foundation, everyone knows that this is Link's private property.
Stanny was very enthusiastic, and Link was polite on the surface. Link proposed to visit the headquarters and factory of Stark Industries tomorrow.
Stany immediately agreed and would send someone to pick them up at the hotel tomorrow and take them to visit.
After the cocktail party, the two went for a late-night snack and then returned to the hotel to rest.
...As expected, someone from Stark Industries arrived the next day, and took the two of them to the factory. Link was indeed curious about this place. At the same time, he also observed with X-ray vision and discovered that Iron Overlord was being built.
In this way, Link was confident, and then came the headquarters building of Stark Industries.
Stark Industries has an expo in New York. It was built during World War II, but it is now closed. Tony Stark does not usually appear in New York.
Link and Jessica visited all the way up. Of course, they did not visit all places. They just took a general look. There are some research and development departments here, which is the focus of the visit.
Link is still quite curious about these, but the question also arises, how to enter Stannie's office?
Only there is evidence of him smuggling weapons, and with this evidence, SHIELD can deal with him and even help Stark get more shares.
However, Nick Fury may not hand it over to Stark. Maybe he will arrange for someone to take over these shares. Anyway, it is easy for SHIELD to achieve.
Link calculated how much the evidence he provided had earned Nick Fury now?
"It's really good. This is my first time coming to the headquarters of a large group, but we want to take a rest now." Link suddenly said.
"Of course. We have a VIP lounge here. Please follow me." The person responsible for showing them around was a secretary who led them to the lounge.
Link looked at it and was very satisfied, and said: "That's enough, let's rest for a while first."
"I'm right outside, you can call me at any time." The secretary closed the door and retreated, while Link took out a cigar. Jessica poured two glasses of wine, one of which was plum-flavored bourbon that Link liked.
Link smoked a cigar and kept checking with his X-vision. He was looking for Stani's office. He looked through the floors and quickly found the location, and then listened.
Stani is in the office, and he is on the phone with people from the military. After all, Stark's behavior also affects the military.
Stany had to deal with the military's inquiries and had to make some guarantees. It has to be said that Stark Industries did have Stany's credit.
Howard and Tony, father and son, are indeed geniuses, but they are indeed not as good as Stannie in terms of management.
…
After a while, the secretary knocked on the door and came in, saying that Stany wanted to see them. Link felt it was right, so he took Jessica to Stany's office.
Stark is the CEO and Stany is the COO, but he is usually responsible for everything except R&D.
"Welcome to Stark Industries Headquarters. Are you satisfied today?" Stani said with a smile on his face.
Link shook hands with the other party and then said: "Satisfied. This is the first time I have seen the headquarters of a large group. The conditions here are really good. It's a pity that I don't have the talent in this area."
"Mr. Lin is too humble. You are self-made." Stani took out the cigar, obviously knowing Link's preferences, and then poured him bourbon.
Link was not polite, and after taking it, he said: "It's nothing to me, it's just good luck, and I also have some research on psychology."
"I'm lucky. I've met Mr. Stark twice and know a bit about him. It can be said that I am gambling this time, but fortunately I am pretty good at reading people."
