chapter 0163 part 2
In the small conference room of Tang Song's Study at the Manor, Kane used a knife and fork to cut German red sausage into thin slices, sandwiching them in bread to make a simple sandwich, which he ate in large bites.
"Boss said he would be in retreat for at least five or six days, and up to half a month. Boss won't be coming out for at least a few more days!"
Lane skillfully used chopsticks to pick up a small steamed bun, dipped it in vinegar, and put it in his mouth.
Beside him, a tablet computer continuously refreshed information. Some urgent matters were specifically highlighted in red.
Lane ate his breakfast while busily handling the affairs at hand.
The normal business operations of the Group had already been entrusted to professional managers. The things that appeared on Lane's computer were confidential matters that could not be known by outsiders.
For example, the Trading Company they established was actually a Money Laundering Company, used to launder money earned from counterfeit money, smuggling, black casinos, and some inconvenient funds through this Trading Company.
The Tang Group had four such Trading Companies under its name. Each company had a monthly flow of over 100 million US Dollars. The overall direction of these companies was personally controlled by Lane.
"Hello, Mr. Justin,"
Lane, who was checking a dividend account from Italy, had his phone on the desk suddenly ring.
Lane glanced at the phone number, picked up the phone, and answered.
"You wish to see our Boss? I'm sorry, Mr. Justin, Boss is not in New York recently. Is there something you need?"
"Not in New York! Didn't Tang just return from Monaco! Alright, when he returns to New York, please tell him I have something to discuss with him and need to see him!"
Kane stuffed the last bit of sandwich at hand into his mouth, chewed, and swallowed it.
"Justin Hammer! He's looking for Boss?"
Lane put the hung-up phone back on the desk: "It's nothing important. These past few days, Stark Industries has been using all its connections and public relations to suppress Hammer Industries.
Justin Hammer's purpose in looking for Boss at this time is probably to ask Boss to act as an Intermediary to speak to Tony Stark and plead for leniency!"
"Stark Industries is suppressing Hammer Industries, why? Is Stark Industries planning to re-enter the arms market?"
Kane asked, somewhat puzzled. He had been on the East Africa battlefield recently and wasn't very aware of what was happening in New York.
Moreover, company matters were usually handled by Lane.
Lane picked up the cup full of soy milk next to him and took a sip, answering Kane's question without lifting his head from his work: "Because Tony Stark suspects that Hammer Industries hired someone to kidnap Ivan Vanko!"
"Ivan Vanko, isn't he in..." Kane thought of Ivan Vanko, whom he had just seen at the Base a few days ago, and immediately understood.
"I remember we still have a large number of Hammer Industries shares..."
"That doesn't matter. Boss bought Hammer Industries shares with the intention of a backdoor listing.
Once Tang Industries merges with Hammer Industries, it can instantly become the largest Arms Supplier to the Federal Department of Defense!"
Kane listened to Lane's words, silently picked up a silver plate, and began cutting the steak on his plate without a word.
Forget it! Leave the thinking to Boss and Lane...
"Bang!"
In the top-floor Office of Hammer Tower, Justin Hammer slammed the phone in his hand onto the floor.
Not in New York? How could that be? This Asian clearly didn't want to help him!
Damn bastard... Justin Hammer loosened his tie, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. In the reflection on the glass, his eyes were filled with anger, helplessness, and a hint of grievance.
In Monaco, he had indeed thought about bringing Ivan Vanko to his Hammer Industries to counter Tony Stark.
But he had only thought about it and hadn't started taking action.
At most, he had only called to inquire about the prison where Ivan Vanko would be held.
He hadn't expected Tony Stark to hack into his mobile phone and use it as an excuse to launch an all-out suppression against Hammer Industries.
This was also the first time Justin Hammer had truly witnessed the influence of Stark Industries within the Military.
Several batches of military equipment produced by Hammer Industries for the Military were successively returned under the pretext of being substandard.
Even when he used some connections and offered money, he couldn't get the Officer responsible for acceptance to overlook it.
Someone from the Department of Defense had spoken, stating that if several more batches of military equipment failed acceptance, The Pentagon would consider replacing Hammer Industries with a more capable Arms Company as a supplier.
Hammer Industries had only been a Department of Defense Arms Supplier for a short time.
If they were kicked out of the supplier ranks by the Department of Defense on the grounds of substandard quality,
That would be a fatal blow to Hammer Industries...
This wasn't just about stock; it even concerned whether Hammer Industries could maintain a foothold in the arms industry.
Hammer Industries absolutely could not lose its qualification as a Department of Defense Arms Supplier! Justin Hammer stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window for a long time, finally making up his mind.
He walked to the Office desk, took out a spare mobile phone, and dialed a number—
"Beep beep beep—"
