I have a big ball of light

Chapter 38 Taking over the Hammer Group

After some intrigue and bargaining, the deal was successfully completed in the third quarter of 99.

According to Marvel's settings, Justin Hammer has all attributes of 1, which means he is weak, below normal, slow, and not good at it.

It's a miracle that a person with this kind of six-dimensional attributes can survive in the dangerous world of Marvel for so long.

If dancing is a skill, then it is possible that he took advantage of Star-Lord and was able to survive to the point where he made a living by selling chrysanthemums in prison.

Several consortiums headed by Hammer Industries, in addition to paying a huge sum of 500 billion US dollars, also handed over other assets valued at about 250 billion by Claude and the other two.

These include some stocks of CBS, MGM, Lionsgate Pictures, two happy water companies, Nike, East West Bank and other companies.

In order to raise these assets, these consortiums almost pawned their own pants.

Justin Hammer was forced to be involved in this deal.

Since Howard Stark and his wife died in a car accident in 1991 while traveling, young Tony Stark fell into confusion. Under the leadership of Obadiah Stane, the entire Stark Industries entered the stage of resting on its laurels.

Although Obadiah's attributes are much higher than Justin's, the skills he is good at are kidnapping, tearing up tickets, picking peaches, and well, there is also a little bit of company operation.

Wanting to rely on him to invent new military products to seize the market is completely inconsistent with his personality.

On the contrary, Hammer Industries entered a stage of rapid development during this period, eating up a large amount of Stark Industries' market share and earning a large amount of profits from the American army.

However, the good times did not last long, as Tony Stark returned to Stark Industries.

The creation of smart weapons, advanced robots, and satellite positioning technology not only regained a large amount of market share previously occupied by Hammer Industries, but also made it difficult for Hammer Industries to become a military OEM with unreliable quality.

The good days when Hammer Industries made a lot of money are gone forever. In addition to following Stark Industries and constantly carrying out copycats, the other way out is to try to change careers.

With the help of other consortiums, Justin fell in love with the vast blue ocean of the Internet.

From this point of view, Cloud should be grateful to Tony Stark. After all, selling all such a large amount of stock is undoubtedly a long and laborious process.

After getting the stock from Crowder, Justin Hammer did not have the concept of low-key in his mind, and held a grand celebration party.

At the ball, he showed his superb dancing skills to the whole world in advance.

Justin disclosed some information about the transaction to the media and announced that he would establish a new consortium centered on Silicon Valley, with a package of development plans centered on the Internet and related industries.

This huge transaction, with a total transaction value of more than 1500 billion US dollars, detonated the entire United States.

For a time, Justin Hammer became famous, and the new consortium, which was renamed Hammer Group, stole the attention of countless people.

However, after the Internet bubble, there is a high probability that Hammer Group will have to go back to its old business.

The entire process of this transaction is no secret among the richest people in the United States. Claude left a mark of weakness and vulnerability in their minds.

After all, in their view, the methods used by Justin Hammer were just preliminary tests, not even comparable to the situation faced by a certain Byte Company in later generations.

It was just a test, and without explaining it in simple terms, I offered the "treasure bowl" in my hands with both hands. It's not that I'm weak and can be bullied.

As for the general public, most public opinion described this transaction as "robbery".

Before the millennium, the United States was in a frenzy for the IT industry, and IT stocks would be frantically purchased by investors in the stock market.

The three stocks that Claude sold are the VIPs among IT stocks. In the eyes of most people, the market value of these stocks definitely far exceeds the transaction price of 750 billion.

After this deal was completed, these three stocks continued to rise every day.

Star Ring Group and Claude naturally became the target of ridicule. They suffered huge losses, which equaled a loss of 1000 billion if rounded up.

Claude doesn't care what these media write. You must know that what they are best at is not creating social hot spots.

Anyway, no matter what the facts are, once it's in their hands, it all depends on what they want to say.

As for what to do if you say something wrong, naturally you should just pretend that nothing happened, create the next topic and continue making up nonsense.

All the mess created by the media was directly filtered by Claude.He is now busy calculating his assets and ranking the characters in Marvel.

Ranking is useless, but it looks cool.

In Claude's memory, he read a magazine about the virtual wealth ranking of American comic characters. Among them, Black Panther ranked first with a net worth of 5000 billion. The one with a mine at home was different. No.2 is the famous Iron Man Stark with a net worth of 1000 billion.

Now, his net worth is more than 200 cents away, and he will be equal to Iron Man.

I think when the Internet bubble bursts, I can arrogantly say to Stark:

“My superpower is having money”

"Claude the Brilliant Speculator"

"Selena is an outstanding female representative of the new century, the woman behind Claude."

"Claude sold out Yahoo and Cisco stocks, cashed out tens of billions of dollars, and switched to Google and Amazon."

"Yang yelled: ungrateful and hypocrite."

"Cisco: Have confidence in the market and not be afraid of challenges."

Before Claude had a chance to mock Stark, the American media was already in a frenzy.

Looking at the newspapers compiled by the secretary on the table, Claude curled his lips helplessly. He originally thought that he would just keep a low profile for a while and wait for the social heat to pass.

However, these unscrupulous media kept staring at him, even though he owned shares of CBS25 at this time, which seriously affected the daily lives of Claude and Serena.

Just like facing a difficult situation, since you can't avoid it, you have to face it, not to mention that Claude still has a big deal worth "hundreds of millions".

Xinghuan Group held a press conference accordingly, announcing that it only chose to sell the Internet stock market because it felt that the market value was overheated. This can be regarded as predicting the Internet bubble in advance.

I just don’t know how many people can believe it. Most people will only think that this is a sign of Claude’s stubbornness.

At the same time, Starlink Group announced that it would bid for CBS with Viacom Group, enter the entertainment media industry, increase its holdings in Amazon, and other actions.

Google has been bought by Claude. As for the two founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, they are bound to the company with options and high salaries. The purchase price is far higher than the price that the two tried to sell to Yahoo in history. $50.

However, Amazon’s boss insists on refusing to sell the company, so he can only increase his stock holdings.

Thanks to Claude's reputation as a talented writer and his brilliant handling of the Asian financial crisis, the stocks of the three companies have been affected to varying degrees.

There was such a big movement, firstly because of Claude's "hundreds of millions" big deal, and secondly, including the income from Asia, Claude's cash flow exceeded 500 billion.

Such a large amount of money was so eye-catching that the bodyguards who had eaten and drank at the customs some time ago were extremely nervous.
