batman and red hood

The business negotiations between Bruce and Luthor ended smoothly on the second day, and Bruce will return to Gotham after another press conference on the third day to end his business trip.

As a reporter, Clark naturally followed one of the protagonists, Bruce, throughout the whole process.Dick took Jason to the Superman Plaza in the Metropolis again, and this time he bought Jason a Superman ice cream, insisting that he try it.Looking at the three-color ice cream, Jason finally stuffed a spoon into his mouth under Dick's expectant gaze. It was a bit cold, but the taste was really good, Jason thought while eating, although he hadn't eaten much ice cream That's it.

"I still don't understand, why did you say Luther insisted on finding Bruce?"

Jason stuffed another scoop of ice cream into his mouth, and asked the man next to him who was eating Superman's candy.

"what happened?"

"No matter how you look at it, this deal is a bit of a loss. He has already invested so much."

Jason doesn't understand business matters, but he at least knows one of the most basic truths, that is, a profitable business is a successful business.

From Dick or Alfred or even Clark's mouth, Jason also had a rough idea of ​​the ins and outs of this deal.

Luthor started talking to Bruce about this cooperation two years ago, but Bruce didn't agree.Although Bruce did not agree, Luther started the project, and it is said that he persuaded the president to obtain national investment.Then the question arises, besides the state investment, he is the biggest shareholder in this project now, why does he want to bring in Bruce?Wouldn't he get even less profit if Wayne Enterprises got involved?

"Oh, I don't quite understand what you're talking about, but according to Bruce, Luthor wants to dilute the share of the state's investment, so as to ensure that the project will eventually belong to him, so he will attract Bruce. There are not many companies whose scale dilutes the share of national investment..."

",,,not understand"

"Don't think about it, neither of us are business material."

Sometimes Dick found it easier to deal with Gotham's criminals than he did in business.

When he first became Bruce's adopted son, Lucius really insisted on giving him a certain position in Wayne Enterprises, so that it would be convenient for him to take over Wayne Enterprises in the future.It's just a nice way of saying it. In fact, Lucius just wanted to find someone who could take out the place when Bruce was absent from work.

But that's pretty scary, and Dick doesn't know how the hell Bruce manages to manage Wayne Enterprises while simultaneously being the Gotham baby and making sure he's out fighting crime at night.Despite rumors that the entire Wayne Enterprises relied on Lucius, Dick was well aware that Bruce was no embroidered pillow.

In a sense, Lucius and Alfred are the same positions, except that Alfred is in charge of Bruce's life, while Lucius is in charge of Wayne Enterprises, but the final decision It will always be Bruce, the real owner of Wayne Enterprises.

"Bruce is also surprised. No matter how Luthor's condition sounds, it sounds like he is only responsible for paying the money."

Jason stuffed another mouthful of ice cream and asked another question. This cooperation seems to be of no benefit to Bruce. In his layman's eyes, Luthor made it clear that Bruce would pay for it and then do nothing. , the most important thing is that it is best not to share the profit, he can hear it, it is impossible for Bruce not to hear it.

"Bruce is just making a general decision, confirming that this project will start, and the rest is Lucius' task."

"But didn't Bruce already agree?"

"Well... I guess it won't be long before Lucius will arrest you for an internship in a company, so you will know after you go there. Although some words are composed of the same words, it is easy to change the way of saying or the order of speaking. It's completely two concepts, Lucius won't let Wayne Enterprises suffer, otherwise you think that according to Bruce's method of distributing money, why hasn't Wayne Enterprises gone bankrupt yet?"

"he is great?"

Jason hasn't seen this Lucius yet, but he heard that all Batman's equipment comes from this genius, and he is also the current executive of Wayne Enterprises, almost the soul of the entire enterprise.I heard that he was originally a scientific researcher in the technology department of Wayne Enterprises, but Bruce discovered his business talent, and then promoted him to the management level at a young age, and he was promoted to the president not long after. .

"Well, it's super powerful. It's impossible to do business with him without being peeled off, that old fox who has plucked his hair."

Dick imagined Lex Luthor's deflated expression, and smiled secretly.

"After this case is over, can you throw that guy in jail?"

Jason asked as if thinking of something again.

"...Well, it's hard to say, that guy Luther is also an old fox. He has played many tricks on Clark. Although his personality is very headstrong and conceited, he is really smart. After several crimes, he was able to run away from the edge of the law. Don't mention things that can't catch him at all."

Dick scratched his head a little embarrassingly. Lex Luthor had an inexplicable hatred for Superman, and it can't be said that it was inexplicable. Superman did ruin many good things for him.But Dick had to admire a little bit for that guy to take advantage of the legal loopholes to get out of the way every time.

"Who's smarter, him or Bruce?"

Jason asked curiously.

"...To be honest, they should be about the same, but they are good at different directions. It's like you ask a person who is good at playing basketball and a person who is good at playing football, who is better at the game?"

"...Then can he discover Bruce's identity?"

Jason asked with some concern, Batman can easily see through people's identities, if Luthor is as smart as Bruce, then this time he and Batman will overlap, and it's hard to guarantee that they won't find something.

"Well, don't worry, didn't I say that, that guy's personality is very arrogant and extremely arrogant. Don't look at Luthor treating Bruce like a brother and sister on stage, in fact, Luthor looks down on Bruce Wei very much in private Well, in his eyes, Bruce is a brainless rich n-generation who has inherited a huge fortune. He will not connect Bruce with Batman. And Bruce is also on guard, unless necessary, otherwise Superman will go Deal with Luthor"

"Masters, Master Bruce's press conference is over, and we will be leaving soon. Do you want to stay in the metropolis for a few more days?"

A phone call from Alfred soon interrupted the pleasant lunch break of the two.

"Ah Fu, I won't follow the plane, I'll go back by myself"

Dick hurried back to Alfred's words.

"Okay, Master Dick, please take care of yourself"

"Well, don't worry, take me to say hello to Bruce"

"Why don't you go back with me?"

After hanging up the phone, Jason asked curiously.

"...Well... how should I put it, after all, I ran out, and if I go back, I feel..."

"Very bad?!"

"...can you not say it."
