"Yes, Stark Industries' stock has been steadily growing, making it a very good investment, at least in the short term." Langley Osley said with an approving expression. "We can handle that for you, including the April taxes."
"In addition, it would be best if we could also provide Mr. Lin with some of his spending records."
Link nodded and said, "Of course, I've been spending quite a bit lately. Nearly a million dollars went to my girlfriend, and I also bought some clothes and an oil painting for myself, which cost 30,000 US dollars."
"Of course, I've recently been thinking about making a large number of art purchases, and I just met an art dealer."
"I will provide proof of my subsequent spending gradually."
"It's a very good investment. It's best to have professionals involved," Langley offered his expert advice. He then asked them to prepare the contract and invited Link to the sofa for a cup of coffee.
Link's lips curled up slightly, a satisfied look on his face. In fact, he already knew about the special key.
It was in Langley's desk drawer, but it was hidden under a pile of documents. He remembered the key.
After the contract was signed, Link subsequently signed a commission agreement, and the accounting firm then liaised with the bank to begin purchasing Stark Industries stock.
Finally, the stock ownership documents will come into Link's hands, and Link will hand over a full thirty million US dollars to them.
The annual entrusted funds are $300,000. Of course, this is not the entire entrusted funds. If Link has any other funds to operate afterward, he will receive different amounts of commission depending on the situation.
Link left the accounting firm satisfied. He immediately returned home and started searching online for similar keys. He quickly found some results, but they were promotional pages for safe deposit box manufacturers. Finding a bank was still difficult.
These keys don't have any bank markings; their main purpose is confidentiality. Even if someone else gets hold of them, without knowing the specific details, you won't be able to find the right place.
Link estimated that the safe deposit box Langley rented must be the headquarters of a major bank. There are many such headquarters in New York, and he could search for them one by one, starting with banks near his company.
This will take a lot of time, but Link didn't ask S.H.I.E.L.D. for help. He has many secrets, so he might as well find them himself. In the end, he'll just submit a report.
If someone asks for help, then some of their behavior becomes inexplicable.
……
After learning how to do makeup, Jessica went to the supermarket. She thought about the juice drinks in the refrigerator, so she bought milk, bread, jam, salad dressing, and so on, so that she could at least make some sandwiches at home.
Only then did he pick up his things, call a taxi, and return to his apartment.
As soon as she entered, she saw Link, who was holding a laptop and bending it.
"Hey, honey, do you need any help?" Jessica asked, carrying a lot of things as she headed towards the kitchen.
Link immediately got up and followed her over, then helped her place the things on the island platform before opening them to take a look.
"Are you really going to cook?" Link asked curiously.
"At least the two of us can make sandwiches, otherwise we'll have to go downstairs to find a restaurant if we're hungry?" Jessica asked, rolling her eyes.
"That's true!" Link agreed with Jessica this time, since he wasn't hungry, but what about Jessica?
Link also needs to eat, but most of his energy consumption is replenished by the sun, which provides energy, not nutrition.
He opened the refrigerator and put most of the items inside. Items that needed washing were placed in the sink. Link then said, "We're lacking some appliances at home. I only have a coffee machine, but we do have an oven. It came with the renovation, but I haven't used it yet. The instruction manual is in the oven."
This is a large oven!
Jessica said, "I'll watch over the repairs. I'm going to change my clothes. Can you come and wash them?"
"Fruit drinks are not fruits, after all."
Link obediently turned on the tap and began to wash the fruit carefully, controlling his strength perfectly so as not to damage it.
A short while later, Jessica came out in her normal pajamas and asked, "Where did you go today?"
"I went to the accounting firm. April is tax season, and I need to avoid taxes. Today I decided to buy Stark Industries stock." Link had some plans.
He bought Stark Industries stock, waiting for Tony Stark to develop the Jericho missile so the stock price could rise and he could sell it.
When Tony Stark returns from his ordeal, has gained enlightenment, and his soul has been elevated, he will shut down the weapons division. When Stark's stock price plummets, he will buy it back himself.
Anyway, he didn't have a lot of money, but it wasn't a small amount either. Although he couldn't get into the board of directors, he still received dividends.
S.H.I.E.L.D. will eventually disband, and Coulson will secretly rebuild it. But by then, Link will probably be in the Avengers.
He can perform no worse than Hawkeye and Black Widow, so he shouldn't be kicked out. With Stark Industries backing him, he won't lack funds.
"This is a temporary investment. After all, I suddenly became rich, so I need to be more cautious about investments. Stark Industries' stock is very stable."
Jessica nodded slightly and said, "That's a good idea."
The fruit was left to dry, so Link turned around and grabbed a bottle of bourbon, then a cigar. "Want a drink?"
"Okay!" Jessica walked over.
The two sat on the sofa. Link turned on the TV, then poured Jessica a glass, before focusing on his cigar.
Jessica asked, "Is this also necessary?"
"No, I personally prefer the smell of tobacco, and this plum-flavored bourbon is my favorite combination," Link said. "Of course, most people at the card game smoke cigars."
"By the way, I have a card game tomorrow night, starting at eight o'clock and ending at midnight at the latest."
"Are you taking me with you?" Jessica asked nervously.
"No need. We rarely bring our wives or girlfriends to card games; it's only for very special occasions. You don't need to be nervous," Link said with a smile, looking at her. "Tomorrow is a technical game."
"Ten million in funding, you'd never guess who invited me."
"Who?" Jessica asked.
"Tony Stark." Link was also surprised. When he came back to look for the keys, he received a call from Tony Stark.
This phone call wasn't given to Link; Tony Stark got it from somewhere else. Link realized this, and Tony Stark was indignant.
His competitive spirit is too strong!
