Marvel: The Rise of Hydra

Chapter 9 Stark's Crisis
Moser and Ouyang are sitting on the floor looking at Tony Stark on the screen at the moment, talking to the reporter.

After a while, Stark's sentence "I decided to close Stark's weapons department until I find a new direction for the company's development." surprised the reporters and many viewers present.
Ouyang was also surprised at the moment, and then turned to look at Moser in disbelief.

"That's why you sold Stark's stock?" Ouyang was a little surprised.

"How do you know, Mercer?"

Ouyang found out not long ago that Mercer sold off Stark's shares, and he has been dissatisfied with Mercer's decision >_<, after all, Stark Industries' stock has been steadily increasing in value.

Moser smiled, and thought of teasing Ouyang again. "I said I knew it a long time ago, do you believe me?"

"I believe, after all, you said it!" Ouyang said firmly, "But this is our opportunity! If we can take over the market and factory of Stark Industries, it will be of great benefit to us."

In a few words, Ouyang turned his attention to his business again.

"It's just that this plan is not easy!" Ouyang was thinking.

"I think I can help you!" Moser interrupted Ouyang's meditation...

……

In a sea view villa in Malibu, California, Tony is replacing the new Ark reactor with the help of Pepper Potts.

At this moment, a voice came from Jarvis: "Mr. Stark, someone outside wants to visit you."

"Do you have an appointment?"

"No sir, he claims to be your friend Mercer Malik."

Tony heard the words and said, "Give him permission to let him in."

Pepper was a little surprised, knowing that only the closest people could enter Tony's studio, and asked, "Who is he?"

"My savior!" Tony replied.

The sound of footsteps gradually became clear, and a handsome young man appeared in Pepper Potts' eyes.

"Hey! Tony! You look good!" Moser and Tony hugged and separated, "This must be Miss Pepper Potts!"

Pepper politely shook hands with Mercer and left, leaving the two of them talking.

"How are you feeling, Tony?"

"It feels better, it's better than the sloppy cave, I'm Tony Stark." Tony said happily.

"How are you going to deal with Obadai?" Mercer asked.

Tony frowned, "To be honest, I can't believe it." "I'm in a bad situation now. Obaday has already started to unite the board of directors, and we have no evidence."

"It will take me a while to collect Obady's criminal evidence and bring him down in one fell swoop. At the same time, I plan to improve the Mark 1 and design the Mark 2. I don't think it will be worse than your Windrunner." Tony said, He looked at Moser with disbelief.

"Maybe after you get over the difficulties, I can use Windrunner to compete with your Mark series. Now! Our two companies can also try to cooperate." Moser took the initiative.

"I think it should be okay, I almost forgot that you are a company owner." Tony teased Mercer.

"Need help? I can help."

"I can do it myself, I'm Tony Stark." Tony rejected Mercer's kindness.

In fact, this is also expected by Mercer, geniuses are proud, not to mention Tony Stark is a genius among geniuses.

Moser, who returned to Umbrella, called Ouyang and asked Ouyang to try his best to acquire the shares of Stark Industries without affecting the company's affairs.

Then Mercer began to invest in the improvement of Windrunner 2.

For the next month, I spent the rest of the day in the studio until a message came from Ouyang.

After finishing work, Moser walked into his living room, while Ouyang was waiting.

"What's the matter? Is there any news about the recruiter?"

"Yes, there is news from Ivan Vanke. His father, Anton Vanke, is seriously ill and needs money. He proposed to bring his father to the United States for treatment, and the expenses will be deducted from his future salary." Ouyang was a little unhappy said.

"What's wrong with his father?"

"Cancer." Ouyang hesitated, but said, "Moser, is it worth paying such a price to recruit him?"

Moser looked at Ouyang, "Maybe he will become our right-hand man, maybe we will get nothing. However, once successful, the benefits he will bring to us will be huge."

"Reply to him, Ouyang. We agree to his terms."

Soon after, Mercer met Ivan Vanke in the company's reception room.

Vanke, dressed in shabby clothes, has a ruffian air on his body, and his black and white hair and tattoos on his thick fingers make Vanke a bit unorthodox.

When he saw Moser walking towards him, Ivan Vanke stood up with a smile, and stretched out his arms to hug Moser.

Mercer was a little caught off guard by Ivan Vanke's enthusiasm, but he still didn't shirk it, and also stretched out his arms.This action made Ivan Vanke more fond of Mercer.

After the two sat down, they started a formal conversation. Moser drank the coffee brought by the secretary, and Ivan Vanke drank the vodka he brought with him.

"Isn't life going well recently! Ivan." Moser spoke first.

"It's really unsatisfactory. My father is seriously ill and I don't have a job, but fortunately, someone needs me to do something." Ivan said and looked at Moser, "What do you need me to do?"

"I need you to accompany your father well. As for work, we can talk about it later." Mercer replied lightly.

This answer caught Ivan Vanke a little off guard!Before coming, Ivan had thought many times about what work he would do in the future, but he never expected to be treated so courteously.

After a while of silence, Ivan Vanke looked directly at Moser, "Why? Why are you looking for me?"

Moser shook the coffee in his cup before slowly saying: "I know your father, a very talented scientist, was expelled by Howard because he wanted to use the Ark reactor to make money, and his life after that was not satisfactory, poor, poor, Drinking too much."

At this point, Moser looked up at Ivan Vanke: "Ivan Vanke, a physicist, was sentenced to 15 years in Scopet Prison for reselling weapons-grade plutonium weapons to Pakistan during the Soviet era. What happened after that I don't need to say it!"

To be honest, Ivan Vanke is a sinner, but he is not a pure bad guy. Anton Vanke has a great influence on Ivan Vanke.

"I want to give you a chance, a chance to start over, on the premise that you need to work for me wholeheartedly." Moser looked at Ivan with sharp eyes, as if trying to see through Ivan's heart.

Vanke was silent for a while before opening his mouth: "Over the past few decades, I have met many people, and only you value me so much." The rough voice revealed a bit of helplessness.

"I've been poor enough these years, don't treat me badly! Boss~~"

Moser smiled slightly. Ivan's being able to come this time already showed that he was interested in this job, which was what Moser expected.
