Before Alan could go downstairs, he heard Justin Hammer's roar. Obviously, Justin Hammer was talking to Susan.
"Mr. Hummel, my BOSS doesn't like to be disturbed in the lab. You can call him yourself or wait until it's time for lunch.”
Faced with Justin's angry test, Susan sat on the sofa with her beautiful legs crossed. Her beautiful big eyes looked at Justin without fear, and her tone was calm.
"Call? That kid blocked me a week ago. I have to see him today! Does he want to hide from me forever?”
Justin became even angrier when he mentioned the phone call. Susan did not know whether to laugh or cry. She did not expect Alan to use such a childish method.
"Brother, I'm not trying to hide from you. It's just that I have something important to do these few days and don't want to be disturbed, so I temporarily blocked your call!”
At this moment, Alan came down from upstairs with two glasses of wine. He walked up to the two of them and handed a glass of wine to Justin. Then, he turned around and leaned over to kiss Susan on the forehead. He smiled and said,
"Susan, can you give us some time alone?”
"Okay, I'll wait for you upstairs!"
Susan looked at Justin, who had a complicated expression because of Alan's arrival, and whispered before walking upstairs in her slippers.
Susan and Alan had not seen each other for a month. Susan missed Alan very much, but now was obviously not the time to be intimate.
After Susan left, Alan and Justin sat on the sofa in silence.
"Your assistant is not bad. Looks like you've grown up, Alan. When I was a student, I pursued Susan crazily! But in the end, she chose a nerd that I looked down on!”
After an unknown period of time, after Justin finished his wine, Justin finally stared at Alan with a complicated expression and said slowly,
Outside, Justin was a smooth person. He was very familiar with people and had a thick skin.
He had often tried to get in touch with Tony, but Tony had not given him the chance to speak again and again. However, Justin had never shown his anger. He was always smiling.
Justin would only show his emotions on his face now that he had extraordinary achievements and was repeatedly compared to Tony and Tony by the media.
"I know, brother. It's just the two of us today. If you have anything to say, just say it. If you want some benefits from me, that's fine. We can discuss everything.”
Alan did not know what to do with his brother for a moment. He only hoped to give him some benefits and let his brother be quiet for a while.
"Ha, you're really my good brother! Do you think I'm a rich second-generation heir who needs his brother's help?”
Alan's words immediately made Justin frustrated. He suddenly stood up and pointed at Alan, saying loudly,
"Back then, my father divided our Hummer Industries into two departments. The most profitable light weapons department was given to you, but the most expensive heavy weapons department was given to me!”
"Now, you're even more selfish and set up a heavy weapons department. You don't even bother to discuss it with me. Every time I call you, you're perfunctory. Do you still have me in your heart?”
Justin became angrier and angrier as he spoke. In the end, he almost pointed at Alan's nose and cursed.
"Brother, you agreed to what happened back then. Is there any point in talking about it now? My light weapons department does make money, but half of the annual profits fall into your pocket!”
"The profits of the light weapons department have increased by more than a hundred times in my hands. You earned all these, what are you still dissatisfied about? Everyone outside says that you're lucky to have a money tree like me helping you!”
Alan said calmly in the face of Justin's question, and the mockery in his words was obvious to everyone.
"You still dare to say that! You just look down on me. Do you always think that I'm hindering the development of your Umbrella Corporation?”
As expected, Justin was even more furious when he heard that. His eyes were bloodshot as he said angrily.
"That's right. To be honest, I respect you, but at the same time, I look down on you!”
Alan nodded faintly. Then, before Justin could become even angrier and say anything, Alan continued indifferently,
"Is this how you manage the heavy weapons department? Every year, they receive a large amount of money from me, but they don't have a target. When they see other companies that have a place in the weapons market, they think of ways to use money to buy them, poach them, or seduce shareholders!”
"You get a grenade technology from one company today, and a howitzer technology from another company tomorrow. Money is spent like water, but you only expand the company a little. How much market share have you occupied? 3%？4%？”
"Can you acquire those companies that really have celebrity products?”
Alan unceremoniously accused Justin of being incompetent. He did not feel burdened at all.
"It's all because of you. I lost market share because of you!”
Justin roared with a red face.
"So you're here today to talk to me about your grievances? Because I modified all the heavy weapons on the market, my brother lost his market share?”
Alan sneered.
"You!"
"Come on, if I hadn't entered the heavy weapons market, do you think you could have gotten it? Another 1% or 2%? You still don't have your own technology to show off, and your researchers are all a bunch of losers from some unknown university. Since you don't have the ability to eat the big cake of the heavy weapons market, don't tell me you can't let me eat it?”
Alan continued unceremoniously,
"Moreover, the unique heavy weapons that I developed were only sold to a few organizations. I didn't sell them at all. Those that are sold outside are just products that I have slightly improved. They are just subsidiary products that I developed.”
Justin was so angry that he panted when he saw Alan not giving him any face today. However, a trace of powerlessness flashed across his eyes. Then, he took a deep breath and said,
"Alright, Alan, I'm not here to talk about this today. I want to work with you!”
"Cooperation? How refreshing. Tell me about it?"
Seeing that Justin had given in, Alan did not continue. In fact, Alan had a certain feeling for Justin. Even if Alan could compete with Justin's company to the extreme, didn't Justin still have Alan's shares in the light weapons department?
As long as Alan was still around, it would not be a problem for Justin to be a super-rich man and enjoy life for the rest of his life.
Therefore, even if he knew the plot of Iron Man 2, Alan was not worried at all.
"Alan, listen to me. I know that you're very good at material synthesis and have already synthesized thirteen very useful new materials!”
Hearing that Alan was interested, Justin quickly calmed down and slowly became a little excited as he continued,
"I asked my experts to carefully look at these 18 materials and confirm that they can develop several star products. The three most valuable ones are the Sky Crystal, the Low-level Elemental Crystal, and the Low-level Hardening Agent!”
The more Justin spoke, the more excited he became. He did not notice that when Justin said the names of the three materials, Alan's face instantly darkened.
"Alan, you haven't developed these materials properly at all. Maybe you don't have the extra energy. After all, your mind is on weapons. Then give these materials to me to develop. These 18 materials can completely involve all aspects of technology.”
Justin clenched his fists in excitement. He seemed to see the Apex Award waving at him. He saw countless flowers and applause fluttering and roaring for him.
One had to know that sometimes, when a new material with a wide range of uses was synthesized, it could instantly turn a poor student into a billionaire.
However, Alan had synthesized 18 kinds of materials that involved all aspects. One could imagine how huge the benefits were.
"Brother, how did you know about these three materials?”
Just as Justin was talking excitedly, Alan suddenly interrupted Justin in a low voice. He looked at Justin sharply, making Justin feel uncomfortable.
"Alan, aren't the materials you synthesized publicly available in your 'beehive' research base? The characteristics of every material were in the beehive database!”
Justin argued.
" Come on. The Hive is my secret underground research institute. It's very confidential. Moreover, under the surveillance of the Red Queen, you can't get it at all. Even if you have people in the Hive, what about the other three? Those three materials are in my underground research institute. I have never published any data on these three materials!”
Alan's expression was a little ugly at this moment.
It was not because his information was leaked. After all, although the local area network in Alan's underground research lab stored data about these three materials, it was only the data of the finished products of these three materials.
If one did not know the synthesis method, no one would be able to replicate it.
What made Alan uncomfortable was that his brother might have been used by someone.
In the past three years, although the Red Queen had been hacked countless times, there was only one time that the private underground base network of Alan Manor was broken. That time, even Fury could not find any traces of it. It was very likely that it was done by Hydra.
Although the power was cut off by Alan in just a few seconds, some of Alan's research data was also stolen. Alan didn't care about this at first.
Because even if they stole something, they couldn't replicate it.
But now, his brother Justin was standing in front of him and asking for the synthesis data of these three materials. This meant that someone was using Justin to obtain these three synthetic materials.
[Sky Crystal: An all-purpose material like vibranium, but it's not as hard as vibranium. Instead, it's a little fragile. It was used by Alan to create the hardware of the supercomputer, allowing the Red Queen and the White Queen to be invincible in terms of computing speed.]
[Low-level elemental crystal: Alan found two materials in the deep sea and volcanic magma, and synthesized them with some technology. They have very strong energy conductivity and endurance.]
The energy pipes of Alan's quantum compression cannon, gravity grenade, laser weapon, and so on were all made of low-level elemental crystals. Only this material could withstand these powerful energies.
[Low-level Hardening Agent: This is a super material that can quickly shape any metal that is melted and deformed by high temperatures, and increase its toughness, hardness, and conductivity by a level. It is the most important thing in Sharpshooter technology.]
The guns that Alan made could not be assembled after being disassembled by the weapons experts outside. They felt that the guns that Alan made simply violated the principle of guns.
Actually, that was not the case. This was because the assembly of these firearms was all done by using this low-level hardening agent to instantly form them. They were not assembled at all.
"Hmph, since I already know, Alan, just say it directly. Do you want to cooperate with me? You have to know that we're family!”
Although Justin was ignorant and incompetent, he still knew the value of Alan's materials. That was why he had shamelessly come to Alan this time, wanting to work with Alan.
Justin felt that he and Alan were brothers after all. Alan did not have the energy to develop the use of these materials, so he should have agreed to it readily.
"Don't even think about it, brother. I've already agreed to work with Tony Stark to develop the use of these materials together. As for those three materials, they're my core secrets.”
Alan looked at Justin inexplicably and said calmly.
"T-Tony Stark? Alan, you're working with him, giving such a huge benefit to an outsider but rejecting me? Are you still my brother? We can talk about the distribution of benefits slowly. How about I take 10% less than Stark?”
Justin was in disbelief at first, then he said anxiously with an ugly expression.
"Impossible. I trust Tony more than you. At least he knows how to think, right? I won't ask who told you about these three materials, but I dare to bet that if I really hand over these three materials to you, in a few days, the finished products and synthesis information of these three materials will be stolen from your company! Why do you think the person who leaked the information to you didn't come and talk to me himself?”
Alan felt that Justin was simply blinded by profit and could not even think of such a problem.
