Chapter 158: Chapter 155 Eric, you are such a good person!
Doom? Why did this unlucky kid who was tricked to death by his good friend come to him if he didn't want to argue with the board of directors and the bank?
He invested all his fortune in a space station worth tens of billions, but it was destroyed after less than a month of use. Thinking about it makes him feel sad.
"Dr. Doom, welcome. Do you want a drink? You don't look like you are doing well!" Eric welcomed Doom and poured him a glass of brandy.
Doom did not look well. His face was extremely haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and the suit on his body was wrinkled. It was obvious that he had been tortured by the directors and bankers.
"Thank you!" Dumu took the wine glass, drank it down in one gulp, and said with a wry smile on his face: "You don't know, the news of the crash of the space station just came, and those bankers surrounded the Dumu Building. The directors of Jim Group also threatened me to divest my capital. It's been a terrible couple of days."
"They are just a group of vampires, don't worry too much." Eric patted his shoulder to comfort him and poured him some wine. "How are Dr. Reed and the others? I heard that your fiancée Susan The lady was also on the space station at the time. They were hit by cosmic radiation. I wonder if they were in any condition? "
"At present, it seems that they are not seriously ill. All physical signs are within the normal range. Except for Reed's friend Ben, who is still in a coma, everyone else has woken up."
"As long as everything is fine! You can make more money if you don't have it, right?"
Doom nodded in perfunctory agreement, and Eric chuckled upon seeing this, "Dr. Doom, I also heard that you originally planned to board the space station. I am very curious, why did you cancel the plan temporarily? I thought you I will propose to Miss Susan outside the earth, my God, it's so romantic just to think about it."
Doom smiled bitterly, "I did have this plan, but Mr. Gideon Malik suddenly visited, so I had to cancel the plan temporarily. I failed to stand by Susan when she needed help the most. My fiancé It's really such a rebuke."
"Gideon Malik?" Eric moved his hands and narrowed his eyes when he heard this. He was just looking for this old guy, but he didn't expect to run to find Doom.
Who is Gideon Malik? He was born during World War I and was a very famous industrialist with huge economic and political influence. He was one of the behind-the-scenes controllers of NASA.
At the same time, he is also a member of the World Security Council, one of the bosses who directly oversee SHIELD. When Loki led the Chitauri army to invade New York City, he was the one who gave the order to New York. The order to drop a nuclear bomb.
However, beneath all the glamorous shells, he has another identity, a snake head of Hydra!
Moreover, this head may be the oldest and most orthodox one.
Speaking of this, we have to talk about the origin of Hydra.
During the Mayan civilization, the Kree came to the earth. They captured the earthlings at that time and experimented on the earthlings with the genes of the Titans. Eventually, the powerful Inhumans were born, which is the race to which Skye belongs.
The first Inhuman born at that time was called Hive. His cells were transformed into cellular parasites. He was able to occupy other people's bodies and gain immortality in this way. Moreover, he can also release parasites to devour humans as nourishment, or use parasites to control other aliens.
Under his leadership, the Inhumans and humans at that time drove the Kree out of the earth. However, after he retired, he was exiled to other planets by the Inhumans and humans who were afraid of his strength.
Afterwards, his admirers established a secret organization with the purpose of bringing the hive back to Earth. This organization was passed down from generation to generation and eventually evolved into Hydra.
The Hydra branch led by the Malik family has always been committed to welcoming back the hive and has never forgotten its mission. It can be said to be the most orthodox Hydra branch.
"Mr. Gideon Malik plans to fund NASA to launch an activity called the 'Far Star Project'. For various reasons, he wants to rent my space station to train astronauts. Unfortunately, the door-to-door business is so bad. "Dum's expression couldn't be more painful.
Far Star Project? Isn't it just sending a group of astronauts to serve as snacks to the hive? Eric dismissed this very high-sounding plan, but was very sympathetic to Doom. According to normal circumstances, not only would he not get a penny, but he would also have to pay a huge sum to Gideon Malik. Liquidated damages...
"Everything will be fine!" Apart from this sentence, Eric really couldn't think of any other words to comfort Doom.
"Thank you!" Doom smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Eric, your energy collection device was also destroyed. I'm afraid it will take a long time to pay off this debt."
Eric waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, I'm not in a hurry to use it. Considering that the space station crashed due to an irresistible natural disaster, interest will not be calculated on this debt, and the repayment time will be set at twenty years."
This was the bottom line of how much he could help. If he went too far and directly canceled all debts, it would be a slap in Doom's face. There was a chance that Doom would fall out on the spot.
"Thank you!" Doom was obviously relieved and sincerely thanked Eric, "I will definitely pay it back within ten years!"
Eric waved his hand again and poured him another glass of wine, "That's why you came here this time? Why make an extra trip for just one phone call?"
"Actually, I came here to ask you for a favor." Doom hesitated for a while, a little embarrassed to tell the real purpose.
"Just tell me if you have anything to ask. I will definitely help if I can." Eric was like facing an old friend, taking on a big responsibility.
"I want to borrow some money from you." Doom adjusted his collar, his expression was solemn but his voice was low, "You know, the space station has used up all my savings, and even my Doom Building has been mortgaged to the bank. The space station crashed, the board of directors is about to withdraw its investment, and the Doom Building will also be taken back by the bank. I have nothing to mortgage, and the bank can't lend me money anymore, I..."
"No problem, how much do you want? Is 5 billion enough? If it is enough, I will transfer it to you now. If it is more, I need to go through the company's accounts, and the process will take at least two days." Hearing that he wanted to borrow money, Eric immediately had a clue in his heart. It was hard to say what other favors he could do, but money? He still cared about this?
Doom was stunned by Eric's generosity. This was not the first rich man he visited, but the others were all like a beaten dog when it was down. Not to mention lending money, some even didn't open the door for him!
"What? Not enough? Wait, I'll call the company!" Seeing Doom standing there, Eric thought the money was not enough and reached out to get the phone.
"Enough, enough! This is too much!" It was too much. His space station was not big, and the money invested in it was estimated to be more than 10 billion. Eric lent him nearly half of it! What a rich man!
"Eric, you are such a good man!"
Regarding the origin of Doctor Doom, the movie and the comics are very different. In the movie, Doctor Doom has superpowers, but in the comics he is an ordinary person. Here, for the sake of the subsequent plot, I chose the plot of the movie, but did not arrange superpowers for him. Well, that's it...
