The Stark Industrial Building is not far from the Star Building. Even if you don't drive, walk, or walk for half an hour, you can see the building that can be said to be the landmark of New York City.

but....

Locke drove.

The speed of the car is five yards, and the mood is the same as the speed of the car, slow and leisurely.

In a word.

"I have money."

"..."

Locke glanced at Gwen in the co-pilot helplessly: "Why do I want Rastark's sponsorship?"

He is not without money.

Locke has always felt that sponsoring this thing is similar to begging, except that others are begging on their knees, and sponsoring is standing begging.

But the essence has not changed.

Gwen said curiously: "Didn't you also pull it when you ran for the student council?"

"That's different."

"what?"

"He's not Stark."

"..."

Gwen opened his mouth, blinked his eyes, then shook his head and said, "Although you are also famous, if you pay for direct sponsorship, the media will pay attention to this matter, but you have to admit it. , you're not as topical as Tony Stark, aren't you?"

Locke raised his eyebrows: "You mean, I'm not as good as Stark?"

"of course not."

Gwen smiled brightly and said: "You are so much better than Stark, Stark, that guy is so diligent, if I were Pepper, I would have slapped me directly and resigned, but, we It must be admitted that it is because of Stark's interest, so it is very newsworthy. Besides, you can take this sponsorship as if you have won Stark again, right?"

Locke frowned.

Think so...

It seems, as if, not impossible.

quite a while.

Locke pulled the R8 to the side of the road, turned off the engine, and got out of the car with Gwen.

look up!

The Stark Industrial Building can't be said to be towering, but it is a lot higher than the Osborn Industries one block away and the Hammer Industries three blocks away.

Locke stared at the signs exposed outside the building.

"What are you looking at?"

"I'm looking at the letters on this, when there is only one A left."

"what?"

"Nothing, let's go."

Locke returned to his senses and smiled at Gwen. He turned the black marinated eggs directly into hell. The Avengers or something was probably stillborn.

Moreover, according to Cordelia, there is a woman in S.H.I.E.L.D. She is quite diligent when she walks around.

so....

It is estimated that the Avengers is out of the game, but the Women's Boxing Alliance has a role to play.

Locke looked up, looked at Stark's letters in the building, and hoped that all the letters on it would fall, and there was only one A left, which was estimated to be impossible.

soon.

top layer.

After Gwen and Locke stepped out of the elevator, Gwen couldn't help but marveled at the design of the large flat on the top floor.

"Gwen."

Pepper, who had just listened to the report from the doorman and was already waiting for Gwen, got up from his desk with a smile on his face, stepped on high heels, and hugged Gwen: "How are you, how are you, God, Has the suspect been caught?"

Gwen smiled: "I'm fine, really, but I guess I can't catch the suspect."

After Pepper let go of Gwen, he looked curiously.

Gwen shrugged, "Because my dad certainly wouldn't let that man live."

Pepper was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay."

Gwen saw this: "God, I'm joking, Pepper, you won't really believe it."

This will not work.

"Of course not, Senior Superintendent George Stacy is recognized as a good police officer in New York City, no one."

"Really?"

"Of course."

After Pepper and Locke shook hands, they invited them to walk towards the reception sofa over there, smiling: "Wall Street once did an investigation, if there is a case, they all hope and least hope it is George Senior Superintendent Stacy takes over."

Gwen, who sat down, was a little suspicious.

"Because of what happened to them, they hoped that someone like Senior Superintendent George Stacy would be responsible. Similarly, when things happened to them, they didn't want someone with integrity like George Stacy to be responsible."

Pepper said with a smile, looking at the assistant who came in: "Two cups of coffee."

"OK."

After the assistant turned and left, Pepper walked to the side, took out a bottle of bourbon from the wine rack, then found a glass, sat down again, and looked at Locke: "Bourbon, Tony took it some time ago, but, Only two boxes were auctioned, and one person was bidding against Tony and he took five boxes away."

I know.

When Locke listened to Pepper's words, he smiled slightly in his heart.

He didn't come to New York before, and it was hard to make money, haha, there was no way, but now he is financially free, and he doesn't need the black money from the Wushuang Assassin for a while, so he simply took advantage of this auction and turned the black money into Great wine.

Anyway, good wine is always drunk.

And if you want to use black money, you still need to wash it, and it will drop in price. It is better to replace it with an inconspicuous bourbon. At least, if you are short of money in the future, you can take it out and sell it to Tony Stark.

It's also a way to monetize, and it's not art, and it won't be noticed by the FBI's art investigation department.

"how?"

"good."

"After Tony bought the wine this time, he said that the one who really understands Thunder Bourbon is probably you, and he has been thinking about when he will be playing a poker game with you."

"I don't mind earning some pocket money."

"Ha ha."

Pepper listened to Locke's words and smiled: "Are you still short of money, Broughton's 200 millionaire."

Locke smiled and said, "Do you know about the hush money?"

Pepper smiled and said: "Stark Industries is one of the designated arms dealers of the military. It was also mentioned by Tony and me a few days ago that he is still in New Jersey."

Locke nodded.

Very normal.

Although the military was forced to do something to Jessica Campbell due to Sam Malik's toughness, it was not just Jessica who successfully integrated the G element.

In that military base, there is also a little guinea pig.

That is the purple man.

Moreover, because the purple man is a spy, although the purple man may not understand the planer because of his treasure, all kinds of human experiments are definitely indispensable.

For example, to find out why the purple man can absorb foreign CPH4.

Tony Stark, who is closely related to the military, and whose ancestors also participated in the research of super soldier serum, how could the second generation of the military, who is rooted in Miaohong, not go.

Not to mention, Stark Industries' ally in the military is General Thaddeus Ross.

If the super soldier serum is really developed, then the only one that can be mass-produced for the military is no one other than Stark Industries.

Even if there was, General Thaddeus Ross would not be relieved.

but....

That's not what Locke and Gwen are here for.

Back to the point.

Pepper and the assistant who came in and brought two cups of coffee thanked him, then handed a cup of coffee to Gwen, and said with a smile: "President Broughton, the Stark Industrial Education Foundation has knowledge about the University Student Union. The competition is very appreciated, give a chance, let Stark name it."

"Can I ask why?"

Locke smiled and looked at Pepper: "If, Pepper, you are for personal reasons, then, I would say, it is not necessary."

Pepper smiled: "The Stark Education Fund was founded by Maria Stark. From the very beginning, it was committed to improving the educational environment and competitiveness. However, over the years, the Stark Education Fund has been going scholarships and bursaries.”

"Isn't that bad?"

"No, that's fine."

Pepper shook his head and said: "Over the years, there have been countless people who have not been able to afford the university because of Stark's education funds, and even more than a dozen have joined Stark Industries after graduating with a doctorate."

Locke shrugged, "Is there a problem?"

Pepper smiled and said, "Locke, do you know how much Stark's education fund was last year?"

Before Locke could speak, Pepper took a document from the side with his right hand and handed it to Locke.

Locke took over.

Yo!

"so much?"

"Yes."

The amount of money that can make Locke now financially free is undoubtedly a larger amount. Gwen looked beside him, and his mouth grew even more surprised: "Last year, was there so much? "

Pepper reached for Gwen and looked at Locke: "That's the problem."

Locke nodded thoughtfully.

Gwen also understood.

In a word.

Giving and receiving are not proportional.

To put it simply, the Stark Education Fund was created by Maria Stark, and after Tony Stark inherited the Stark Industries, it was left behind by his mother Maria Stark every year. the foundation.

but....

Tony wanted what he never got.

Simply put.

reputation!

The full name is called, Maria Stark Education Foundation is not very famous. Although the expenditure of education fund was huge last year, the reputation obtained is still one of many Wall Street scholarships, and even, and those who specialize in Educational foundations that sell dog meat for tax avoidance and tax reduction are linked together.

The most important thing.

Pepper said: "Last year, there was a proposal on the board of whether it was possible to consider cutting the education fund."

The corners of Locke's mouth rose: "Then, that person was fired by Tony Stark?"

Pepper shook his head: "No, he was demoted by Obadiah Stan, Tony's godfather, but this topic opened, so..."

Locke handed the document in his hand to Gwen, nodded and said, "So, are you planning to change your thinking, from the previous wide-casting mode to a fixed-point mode?"

Pepper shook his head: "No, Maria Stark's original intention, the foundation is to help everyone who wants to learn but can't learn to receive education, this will not change, but this does not prevent us from needing a Great show."

Locke: "..."
