Marvel's Speedsters

While the general’s father and daughter are troubled by their careers or relationships, Ross is happily counting the harvest with Pepper, because they have received more than one order, in addition to the generous Pentagon throwing money at the cutting-edge laboratory, Gwen’s father, Director George Stacy, has finally convinced the miserly government and parliament, and recently Chief Shi announced that he will spare part of his budget to customize new bulletproof equipment for the laboratory to replace the New York police’s 21,000 old bulletproof vests that have passed the five-year shelf life. In addition, 20,000 Phinex pills were purchased, and these life-saving items were promised to be distributed to the police before the summer when crime was high, so that poor grassroots police officers would no longer have to pay for expensive equipment and medicines out of their own pockets.

Although these two orders are government procurement, the price is inevitably lower than the market retail price, but it can still be called a huge profit relative to the insignificant manufacturing cost—- especially the latter. The main material of the Phinex potion is the product of self-replication of mutant HeLa cells, this cell line does not age to death, has the characteristics of infinite division, as long as the cheap nutrient solution is replenished in time, the number of cells will automatically double every 24 hours—- the basement of the biological building is full of this kind of thing, Ross often racks his brains to deal with excess tissue, and in the outside world, even if the price is repeatedly reduced, it is still comparable to silver, how can he not be willing to sell.

However, Ross and Pepper are more interested in the deal itself, but the subsequent impact of the transaction, and as the military and government open their doors to laboratories, more institutions will join the procurement ranks in the future, and potential groups with the willingness to buy will also be encouraged by this transaction.

North America’s purchasing power is the most meaningful relative to the war-torn small countries of Central Asia, and it will have a profound impact on the opening up of products to markets such as wealthy Western Europe and Japan.

This is really good for Ross, who has been feeling financial pressure, and he can temporarily stop the idea of some bad money and continue to maintain the secret plan of crazy burning money.

“I’ve asked the Doctor to send out invitations to his peers, and we’re likely to host a lot of tours in the coming months, many of which are potential customers.” Pepper said happily. “We expect these tours to bring us some good news.”

“Don’t be stingy when you need to give gifts, anyway, the money is out of the taxpayers, we just need to get our share.” Ross reminded that he suddenly hated the situation a little.

Without the Godlands from Asgard, without the alien invaders led by Loki, and even the troublemakers of the Brotherhood of Mutants ran to small countries in Eastern Europe, such a calm America is really like backwater, and there is no opportunity for cutting-edge laboratories to squeeze out the maximum purchasing power of the market.

Perhaps only after the monsters of the Hulk appear one after another, ordinary people will face up to the dangers brought by the advent of the new era.

But until then, he still has to wait hard.

The joy of the good news faded, and Pepper told him the bad news.

“There has been a recent call in the fishing world that some people are trying to link our normal business with monopolistic behavior, and as far as I know, there are already independent prosecutors who are already preparing for this, and they are likely to cause us some trouble.”

“Is it a personal choice, or is there some lobby standing behind it?” Ross casually asked, this is not an unimaginable thing, each mature market has its own sphere of influence, if you want to break the convention, you will inevitably face the counterattack of the old group, Watsonton Pharmaceutical’s hostility is only the first time, but it will never be the last. In fact, it was already unexpected for Ross to be able to delay until this time when someone came forward again.

But he has a solution, so he just needs to determine which hand is trying to reach | into his wallet.

“Senator Stern.” Pepper shrugged his shoulders and said the name of the owner of that hand. “Senator Stern, who has broad interests in the military industry and has recently received sponsorship from some pharmaceutical giants, has been eager to do several feats, and we are his target.”

“Malik used to think the same way.” Ross said with a smile.

In the original timeline, Stern is one of the Senate bigwigs who are embarrassed by Tony, and in addition to the noble status of the senator, Ross also happens to know his other hidden identity. In this world, perhaps Tony’s physical condition makes people feel that Stark Industries can take control calmly and do not need to force him to hand over the blueprints of the steel armor, so they once again set their sights on cutting-edge laboratories without deep backgrounds.

Then Ross’s response is also very simple, let Mr. Malik’s tragic story be repeated again.

“I’ll keep an eye out.” As he said this, he picked up his phone and sent several commands to Todd.

Pepper pursed her lips and smiled, she didn’t know what Rose was going to do, but believed that Rose could solve the difficulties.

The senator’s threat has not yet arrived, and now there is a very tricky matter waiting for Ross to deal with.

“Do you have any thoughts about Miss Betty?” She asked in a nonchalant tone.

“What’s wrong with Betty?” Ross pretended to be stupid and did not answer positively.

“Her father, a three-star admiral, takes such care of you, don’t you have any opinions?” Pepper continued to ask.

“What do you want to say?” Ross asked rhetorically.

“What about Gwen, and Mary Jane?” Pepper finally asked what she wanted to know the most, and that was what she asked for herself. “Are you going to choose one of them?”

Pepper’s question made Ross pause slightly.

It has been two days since Betty’s arrival, although he kept his distance from the young lady in these two days, his attitude was polite and thoughtful but he rarely had close contact in person, and it seemed that it was completely a work-level interaction without involving personal relationships, but it was still impossible to hide it for the intuitive woman, the police procurement was undoubtedly driven by George’s vigorous promotion, and George’s actions must have Gwen’s pleading—- unlike Mary Jane, whose father was an alcoholic, the arrival of the general’s daughter undoubtedly caused pressure on the chief’s daughter.

But it’s not a good idea to get Ross to give up. Of course, the two little girlfriends needless to say, in addition, Betty, Pepper, and Susan, who has recently avoided suspicion and inconvenience, are all very good women, they can meet Ross’s needs regardless of heart, appearance and ability, and he definitely does not want to see these women away from him one by one.

So, whether to choose or not, that’s the question, but there’s always only one right answer.

“Whatever we want, once we get it, we want something else.” After thinking for half a minute, Ross couldn’t help but sigh, just listening to his tone, it seemed that Mr. Byrne was the one who was hurt the most.

“I know that men are greedy.” Pepper immediately laughed angrily at him.

Both employers were playboys, which was also a frustrating finding for Pepper.

Stark pursues momentary indulgence, while Ross is more than that, it seems that he wants more.

But accustomed to good men, it is difficult to accept that Pepper adapts to mediocrity.

But Ross’s ideas don’t meet the ethical standards common to ordinary society, Pepper specifically reminded.

“Ordinary people really can’t, then it’s maybe okay if it’s not an ordinary person.” Ross thought secretly in his heart, casually changing the topic.

After a while, Todd, the head of intelligence, was ordered to hurry over, and Pepper was inconvenient to stay, so he returned to his office.

“Miss Potts told me some bad news, now maybe you can tell me more detailed details.” Ross asked directly.

Without enough accumulation, it is already a difficult task to rely on the power of the laboratory to follow the whole of New York, and it is unrealistic to extend its tentacles further to Washington, but fortunately there are still a lot of hidden resources left by the Brotherhood.

Although Magneto himself went to Latvia, his organization could not have migrated so quickly, and some people remained in the United States, including the witch line. During the Mutant Registration Act incident, she played the hard-line Senator Kelly who was a rising star in Congress, and although the witch took over the identity of Congressman Kelly to avoid being found by acquaintances, her words and deeds had to be much more low-key than before, but she still had some reliable sources, and Todd could also buy some intelligence from her that the outside world could not get.

“Which one is the gentleman going to ask?” Toad asked respectfully.

“It seems that there is more than one bad news, which is really a surprise.” Ross raised an eyebrow. “Is there anything I don’t know besides senators and prosecutors?”

“Dr. Samuel Stern who left the lab recently returned our people and rejected a request for financial review from an upstream holding company, and we have completely lost control of his business.”

In order to clear the relationship in the future Hulk incident and avoid arousing public suspicion, Ross did not directly invest in Samuel’s new company in his own name or the laboratory, but took a complex way to hold shares indirectly, which invisibly reduced the control and made less and less contact, but in any case, refusing the reasonable request of the major shareholder was an impudent move, and Dr. Stern must have done many things in private that he did not want others to know.

“It looks like he’s going to do a big job.” Ross narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment, silently thinking about the changes Samuel’s actions might bring.

In the end, he decided to go and find out for himself to see for himself what stage Samuel’s secret work was going on.

“Let’s go to East 97th Street.” He ordered, walking alone to the dressing room to get dressed.

“With a bit of luck, we can dance veneer with the Hulk today.”

Ross whispered, his expression shrouded in a closed black mask.
