American comics: Starting from a copycat arms dealer

Carl was referring to a pure girl in a light pink suspender dress and white pantyhose in the corner of the banquet hall.

He immediately recognized the blonde girl with twin ponytails as Gwen Stacy, the daughter of New York City Police Commissioner George Stacy.

I wonder if she has become Ghost Spider-Woman now?

Carl was a little curious. He was quite interested in this kind of sweet young girl. He especially wanted to try the feeling of galloping on a horse while holding the twin ponytails.

The key point was that she might be a rare superheroine in the Marvel world, which made Carl more thoughtful.

Wanda followed Carl's gaze and saw a pure and beautiful girl staring at her with interest.

After she found that she saw her, she deliberately waved her hand, wanting her to come over and talk, and she didn't seem to be afraid of her at all.

She couldn't help but feel a little curious about this courageous girl.

"Hi! Let me introduce myself. I'm Wanda Maximoff."

"Gwen Stacy, nice to meet you. This must be your first time attending such a party."

"How do you know?"

Seeing Wanda walk over and chat with Gwen without saying a word, she directly forgot about him.

Carl couldn't help but curl his lips, thinking that women really forget their boyfriends when they have a best friend.

Just then, a tall and burly man in a dark blue suit came over with a nervous look.

"Uh, dear Mr. Carl, I'm sorry to bother you. Can you give me two minutes to introduce myself?"

Seeing that the world's richest man in the future, the space dreamer Musk, was still a little restrained in front of him, Carl felt a little happy.

But he just nodded lightly on the surface and listened politely.

Seeing that Carl was willing to give him a chance, Musk's tense expression became more natural.

Fearing that the other party would be impatient, he quickly began to introduce:

"I am the CEO of Space X, Elon Musk.

Space X is a private commercial aerospace company dedicated to space exploration. Its current main research direction is reusable heavy-lift rockets.

Reusable rockets are a very low-cost and promising aerospace rocket technology.

We have currently developed the Falcon 9 heavy-lift rocket, and achieved complete success in the experimental launch a year ago.

Our short-term goal is commercial aerospace, and our long-term goal is to colonize Mars!

Mr. Carl, I have always believed that there is no way forward for human beings trapped in the small earth.

The resources on earth will be consumed one day.

And the development of space exploration, the endless cosmic resources are like treasures in the sea, quietly waiting for humans to dig.

This is the best way out for mankind!

However, we are currently facing a little financial difficulty.

So, I implore Mr. Carl to provide a boost to the development of Space X!"

After Musk finished speaking, he waited anxiously for Carl to make the next decision on the life and death of Space X.

2011 was the darkest year in Musk's life. First of all, Tesla had a huge financial deficit.

Next is SpaceX, which failed to launch the heavy Falcon 9 rocket three times in a row.

An overwhelming financial crisis followed, and Musk was tortured by divorce, employee resignation, and ridicule from the outside world.

Just like the "Auto Truth" website opened a "Tesla Death Countdown" column, waiting for Tesla to die like watching a joke.

There were even 50 news articles discussing how Tesla would die in one day.

There were also internal employees of Tesla who broke the news that Tesla deceived the masses and all the cash for orders was squandered!

This year, Musk was in a desperate situation because of the situation of everyone pushing down the wall.

Therefore, whether he could get financial assistance from Carl became Musk's most urgent matter now.

After listening to Musk's self-introduction, Carl had already made plans in his mind. The future development of Space X is obvious to all, and Umbrella will sooner or later go to space.

Investment can be made, but the shares must be controlled by the main party.

After all, Musk, who is now worth less than one billion US dollars, is not worthy of Umbrella being just a small shareholder.

So Carl smiled politely and said, "Your idea is good, Mr. Musk.

I am indeed very interested in space exploration, but the situation you are facing now seems to be very bad?"

As he said, Carl raised his hand, and the holographic watch projected a video.

This is a video of Space X's three consecutive failed launches of the Falcon 9 rocket in the past two years.

"Is this what you call success? This imperfect rocket technology does not seem to be commercially viable."

This work is compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

It is a compliment to Musk to say that it is imperfect.

After all, the cost of launching such a heavy-duty carrier rocket is as high as tens of millions of US dollars, but only three big fireworks were set off.

There is a reason why recyclable rocket technology is currently considered a scam.

At first, Musk was very shocked to see the high-tech holographic projection.

"Oh, this is a holographic projection? So cool! Umbrella's technology is so advanced!"

But when he saw the three failed rocket launches in the video, Musk's face suddenly turned black, and he quickly explained:

"Mr. Carl, there will always be many setbacks on the road of technological development, and every failure will accumulate more experience. Occasionally failing a few times is nothing."

Although Musk is trying his best to find excuses, it cannot change the fact that the Falcon 9 rocket is now just a bad semi-finished product.

Karl was already impatient. After all, time was precious, and it would be a great honor to be willing to listen to his explanation for so long.

Wouldn't it be nice to have some in-depth exchanges with some ladies at the banquet?

So Karl waved his hand to signal the other party not to say anything more, and said in a tone of notification:

"Well, you can go to the 81st floor of the Woolworth Building tomorrow to find the head of Umbrella North America Branch, Mr. Ian de la Rosa.

He will be fully responsible for the acquisition of Space X and Tesla businesses on behalf of Umbrella. "

"Acquisition? No, no, no." Musk looked confused.

I'm just here to attract investment, how come it turns into an acquisition?

After all, he is also a billionaire and still has pursuits. Even if these two companies are about to go bankrupt, he still does not want to give up control easily.

"I will offer a 'price' that cannot be refused and will definitely satisfy Mr. Musk."

Carl frowned and added, lest Musk still want to hang around.

"Okay, I'm sorry to bother you. See you later, Mr. Carl!"

Musk saw that Carl was determined to drive people away, so he couldn't wait any longer. After saying goodbye respectfully, he turned around and left the banquet hall early with a complicated mood.

Seeing the other person's lonely figure walking away, Karl sneered in his heart, it was not easy to get his own money, it was up to Musk to see if he was sensible.

Otherwise, Carl would not mind learning from the American plutocrats and letting him be shot eight times in the back and commit suicide!
