After seeing everyone else off, Luca leaned alone against a pile of equipment, pondering his earlier conversation with Justin Hammer.
According to him, since Hammer Industries began its decline, most of the shares had already been reclaimed by her.
Justin's willingness to use half to buy the former Orange Industries indeed showed great sincerity.
It's likely that ever since old Justin, Hammer Industries has always hoped to have its own 'Tony Stark'.
But to be frank, no matter how good Justin Hammer made it sound, an acquisition is an acquisition.
Luca had absolute confidence in his future; even if he couldn't become a true scientific genius like Tony Stark, he felt it wouldn't take long to at least superficially impersonate a similar role.
Rather than getting involved in the murky waters of Hammer Industries, it was better to steadily develop his own small enterprise.
As for Heinrich, the financier, Luca had originally thought he would chat with him for a few words before leaving.
Saying things like adding funds or expanding business.
He could also take this opportunity to probe into Heinrich's somewhat strange left eye.
Unfortunately, Heinrich seemed to have no such intention, merely leaving a meaningful glance before departing cheerfully.
'Forget it, thinking so much is useless. Collecting items and improving my strength is the real priority.'
With that thought, Luca stopped overthinking. Ignoring his subordinates who were packing things up, he walked over to Orange Harro.
He patted its round body and whispered, "You, next time, slow down when you give me cues! I almost got my lines mixed up just now."
That's right, Luca's presentation today, the reason he could speak fluently without revealing himself as an imposter, was naturally because he had arranged it with Harro beforehand.
He had Harro connect to the crime tracking glasses to act as a 'teleprompter', displaying the dialogue in real-time.
After all, although Luca had prepared beforehand, his theoretical foundation was still lacking. If he got stuck when questioned, it would likely cause a considerable embarrassment.
However, perhaps Harro had overestimated Luca, as the 'cue content' in the eyeglasses scrolled by incredibly fast.
Luca could easily miss something if he wasn't careful.
Yet, in response to Luca's somewhat complaining tone, Harro let out a 'pop~', pulled himself out of the slot, didn't even glance at Luca, and bounced away.
He didn't forget to keep mocking, "Stupid Luca, stupid Luca!"
A bit embarrassed, Luca looked around and saw that everyone, including Wrench, tactfully turned their heads to 'work diligently'. Only then did he jog after Harro.
However, before Luca could even catch the agile little fellow, Samira approached and whispered to Luca, "Young Master, Osborn Biology still hasn't given us a clear answer."
Luca, who had been in a good mood, frowned slightly at the news.
'That shouldn't be? Since Norman Osborn is willing to experiment on humans for his wife's illness, it's impossible for him not to even look at the potentially effective medicine I've offered, is it?'
"What did they say?"
"Osborn Biology replied that Mr. Norman is currently in a very important experiment and temporarily unable to spare time to meet with you," Samira said.
"Important experiment? Can you find out... Never mind."
Luca originally wanted to tell Samira to send someone to inquire about what kind of business Osborn Biology was involved in.
But then he thought, either they were just making an excuse and there was no important experiment at all.
Or if it was true, Samira's channels might not be able to uncover anything, and it could even offend them for no reason.
Luca simply changed his mind and said, "Contact other biopharmaceutical laboratories first. Just keep a slight eye on Osborn."
Samira: "Understood, Young Master."
However, after saying that, Samira hesitated slightly before continuing, "Young Master, the financial director just approached me and wanted to remind you that the company's current funds might only last less than half a year, even to maintain the current situation."
"If we want to develop new production lines, the funding gap could be very large."
Luca, who had been thinking about what other well-known biological scientists there were in the Marvel series, looked up at Samira with a strange expression upon hearing this.
"Why would she think of having you convey it?"
Samira's eyes also showed a hint of awkwardness when she heard this.
"Young Master, there were too many people around you just now. She just wanted me to remind you; she'll probably report to you separately later."
Seeing Samira's somewhat embarrassed look, Luca found it amusing.
It seemed that at some point, Samira, his bodyguard and driver, had gradually become more like a secretary and housekeeper.
Of course, this wasn't about her external appearance; although Samira wasn't ugly, she was considered 'big and strong' among women.
But precisely because of this contrast, Samira herself felt a bit awkward now, as she hadn't had much exposure to these tasks originally.
Luca certainly wouldn't let this elder, who was so dedicated to him, remain in such a predicament, so he immediately said, "Aunt Samira, please help me recruit a secretary later. It can be someone internal to the company, or someone hired from outside. You decide, just let me review the final candidate."
Samira immediately let out a long breath, feeling much more relaxed.
However, Luca added, "As for the finance department, tell them to wait. Once the intended orders come through, I will apply for a special loan from the bank."
Samira quickly wrote down these details, then continued to ask, "So, Young Master, are we going home now, or are we following these equipment back to the company?"
Because Luca had previously handed over the completed 'Orderer' prototype and some data to the company's R&D department.
He planned to have them develop some Packages equipment or derivative models based on that.
So Samira thought Luca might need to go back to the company headquarters first.
However, Luca shook his head slightly upon hearing this.
"Let the R&D guys handle those things themselves. They can't be mass-produced for now, so related development isn't urgent."
"As for us."
"Let's go shopping at the mall!"
With that, Luca directly scooped up Harro, who had come back over, and strode out of the testing ground.
At the same time, he thought with amusement, 'Even if I'm impersonating a genius like Iron Man, I have too few items right now. A hundred flowers blooming is the hard truth~'
