"Kan, is this your girlfriend?"
After arriving at the president's banquet, Carl looked at Betty next to Kahn with some envy. Although he knew that his old classmate had no shortage of women around him, this quality was too high.
In contrast, he brought a female companion, which seemed a bit mediocre.
The well-groomed Betty is really outstanding, especially her temperament. Her skin seems to be much fairer. I don't know if it's because of her secret makeup or drinking milk, but I can try it after I go back.
"It's nothing, Carl."
Kahn slightly raised his head and said, Betty is his boss's girlfriend, and it would be more exciting if this identity is revealed; but Kahn won't say it, it would be better for him to keep it all to himself.
"Those people are also here, and I think they will greet you later. If you want to cooperate with them, you must be careful... Aoshi Group is a lesson from the past."
Carl leaned over to Kahn and reminded in a low voice that this kind of thing is very common in the financial world. In fact, they are wolves that eat people without spitting out their bones; but that is eating others. If you start, you will still be reminded.
After all, Kahn is the major shareholder and mentor of their company. Without him, the private equity fund would not have developed so well.
Kahn also knew about this, and after chatting with Carl for a while, he greeted Carl and came to General Ross with Betty; he came today as the boss of a biopharmaceutical company and originally brought Laura More appropriate, but if Kahn really did this, the two Roses would give him a slap in the face.
His company still needs two Roses to contribute, as well as the affairs of the Austen Group. If the military does not contribute, Kahn will only have magic means; but there is no problem with using magic to protect himself, but he does not want to ask for benefits... Know if it will attract other people, like Karma Taj or something.
Kahn can probably guess what the consequences of frequent use of magic to earn benefits will be, which is basically the same as being an enemy of the world.
No one wants to see this kind of thing. An Imperius Curse will make them worse than dogs from high-ranking politicians and capitalists. If they realize Kahn's ability, they will definitely try their best to deal with him.
There are quite a few people here tonight, all of them are from the upper class of America; Kahn... No, Karl is the bottom here. If it wasn't for Kahn's reason, he wouldn't even know about the banquet.
I should remind him later, but his cautious appearance should be reminded by Connor, and he should leave immediately after the end; Karl doesn't have many other advantages, but he can only be praised for being timid and cautious.
Tony Stark was probably invited, but he didn't come, instead he sent his assistant Pepper. Playboy really doesn't care about this kind of occasion; no matter what the president thinks, Stark Industries' weapons department is the American Army Party is irreplaceable purchaser.
No matter how much Justin Hammer of Hammer Industries jumps up and down, if he can't compare with Stark Industries in terms of heavy firearms and weapons, he will still be unable to let Hammer Industries replace Stark Industries. This is the gap in research and development capabilities.
After Betty went to socialize with some colleagues, Kahn whispered to Ross: "General Ross, you are really dishonest. You even lied to your partners. Even if you don't think about it, I should think about what's in Betty's stomach..."
After General Ross heard Kahn's words, he couldn't hold the wine glass steadily in his hand, and then he was so angry that he said to Kahn with a slightly fluttering beard: "You bastard...how many months?"
"An hour, Betty had some toast and milk before coming."
Kahn said with a smile, after listening to this sentence, Ross also knew that he was cheated by Kahn; but it is better not to have children. Banner.
It's just that Betty's own will is very strong. Ross persuaded her several times, but it didn't work at all; he didn't think Kahn was very attractive, but he could make his daughter so determined.
But I heard that Bruce Banner was also recruited by the military recently, and he agreed.
"What's going on in the Middle East battlefield? You don't have to lie to me, I can see that you are a little absent-minded, that's not the performance after winning the battle; and Betty told me about the matter, without any reason, the military Why order so many extra Extremis virus serums?"
Kahn didn't beat around the bush, but asked Rose about it directly.
If even the partners are counting, then Kahn would rather stop the cooperation and find other people; anyway, the Extremis virus has no worries about buyers, and they should be the ones who take the initiative to affirm.
"The loss was heavy, and the reason is unknown."
After General Ross finished speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in his hand.
If it was not an illusion, Kahn would never have imagined that such incompetent words would come from the mouth of an American general.
If he remembered correctly, the super soldier team should have about sixteen people; that is to say, the American military lost about ten super soldiers in the war that should have won a big victory?
If there were no casualties of ten people, Kahn didn't know what situation could be described as heavy losses.
"I guess there are many people who want to replace you, and they even contacted me through my friends." Kahn pouted at Ross, and there was a person talking to Betty over there, and it seemed that he was mostly trying to please.
But Kahn knew that they actually wanted to cooperate with him through Betty. They may not have the idea of completely replacing Rose, but they still have the ambition to play a part in it and occupy a large share of it.
It's just that Kahn doesn't trust them very much, because they are the same kind, and there is only so much meat. If they want to eat all of them, some people will definitely be hungry.
"Ross, I think we need to cooperate more."
Kahn intends to make himself develop faster, but it needs the sincerity of Ross and their gang; it is impossible to get the complete super soldier serum from him in terms of US dollars alone.
He needs more benefits.
"The super soldier serum has made some progress. I think we should renegotiate the division of interests, or you can give more benefits..."
After hearing the words, Ross raised his beard in shock, and asked in a very serious whisper, "Are you sure? It's not the defective super soldier serum potion, but the Captain America one?"
"It's that super soldier serum, but are you sure you want to talk here?"
Kahn told Rose that he knew the meaning and power of the super soldier serum. At the beginning, Dr. Erskine only made a few serums, and then killed them. The serum formula was also lost. Although a few serum samples were left behind, but Neither the military nor Howard succeeded in replicating it.
The super soldier serum represented by Captain America is what the military wants. Originally, the Extremis virus serum is not bad, and if it is a perfect version, it will be stronger; but this time it encountered an inexplicable attack on the battlefield in the Middle East. Soldier squads suffered heavy losses.
This gave those in the military a new assessment of the Extremis virus serum, and Ross didn't want to give up this extraordinary force in his hands, so he increased the amount of serum he purchased.
"After it's over, I'll find you at your hotel."
After saying this, Rose drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, put the glass on the tray aside, and went to chat with other people.
He needs to calm down his restless heart, and then think carefully about how to cooperate with Kahn; looking at him, it seems that he is very dissatisfied with the current interests.
However, after thinking about it for a while, Ross also found it understandable. He knew the magic of the Extremis virus serum. If it weren't for the military, it would be impossible for others to obtain the serum so easily.
Redistribution of benefits... I am afraid that other people will not agree. In order to promote the super soldier team as soon as possible, Ross agreed to Kahn's threat, but others may not be willing, and Kahn Pent does not seem to be one who will compromise. People, these have to be adjusted by him in the middle.
If the super soldier serum can be produced in large quantities, then his position is not limited to a general, but it is really possible to take a big step forward.
...
Banquets are boring, at least for Kahn.
The purpose of this banquet, Ross, has already reminded him that to continue the war, at least the goal of gaining benefits must be achieved; the war that was originally going well encountered an accident, and even the super soldier squad suffered heavy losses, and ordinary soldiers would naturally not be spared.
Under the bombardment of missiles, the local army, which was almost invincible, suddenly had a lot of well-equipped special forces, and these people also knew the intelligence of the American military in the Middle East.
These are just the military's speculations, but apart from intelligence leaks, they can't think of other reasons, unless those in the Middle East have more accurate satellite surveillance than the United States.
So far, the American military has killed or injured more than a thousand people. They have not spread such a huge number but concealed it. They have announced that only 13 people were killed or injured, most of whom stepped on landmines or were attacked by cunning terrorists.
"Kahn, this is Senator Stern."
After a while, Betty Ross brought a member of the Senate, a bit fat, but with a kind smile on his face.
What is this guy MP, he is a member of Hydra Development.
After Kahn saw this person, he smiled and shook hands with him and said, "Member Stern."
Councilor Stern said to Kahn with a smile: "Mr. Burnt, I think your biopharmaceutical company has great potential. If possible, I would like to introduce you to a few partners who can make your company develop better." Faster, and more benefits can be obtained at the same time."
Kahn said with a smile: "Then I have to thank Senator Stern, but unfortunately this is not New York, otherwise I must invite Mr. Senator to taste the famous dishes in New York."
Hydra wants to cooperate with him? Still fancy the Extremis virus serum?
Kahn would be more willing to cooperate if he cooperates. Hydra—the sub-snake of S.H.I.E.L.D. has a lot of good technology. They rely on cosmic magic to research a lot of results; if possible, Kahn also wants to see the Cosmic Rubik's Cube. The space source stone, one of the six infinite gems in the universe.
"That's all right, Mr. Burnt, I'm from Washington."
Seeing Kahn's intentional tendency, Stern couldn't help but smile even more happily; as long as the young biological tycoon has the intention of cooperating, if it is another Tony Stark, then they will feel a headache.
