Regardless, the Avengers will soon begin, and interesting things will start to happen. Similarly, we'll be getting closer to the Infinity Stones.
Although Link has joined S.H.I.E.L.D. and is a Level 6 agent, he is still considered an outsider and cannot enter the core. His display of his strength is simply to hope that he can join the Avengers in the future.
It's not a bad thing that S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't delve into the core, since it's hard to tell whether S.H.I.E.L.D. is still S.H.I.E.L.D. or Snake Shields.
He doesn't need to get involved in the core issues and wade into the muddy waters; he can simply wait patiently for the beginning.
Thus, in 2008, Fisker's nursing home opened. It was well-built and had very complete facilities.
The elderly people living alone in Hell's Kitchen also signed contracts and moved in. Their meager pensions belong to the nursing home. They have no money of their own, but the nursing home will take care of everything.
All the property rights and lease agreements they owned were transferred to United Construction, thus giving Fisker even more land and property rights.
The first batch of low-rent apartments has been put into use and exchanges have begun, while the first office building has long been under construction, and everything is moving in a positive direction.
This is about charity. As for making money, Fisker's docks are on track, which has solved a lot of employment problems. In addition, the red-light district project has also started.
Each gang has its own area of responsibility here, which will be their main source of income, and as a result, the security situation in Hell's Kitchen has improved a lot.
After all, only when it's safe will people come to have fun, and there's a wide variety of options. The girls here come from all over the world, making it dazzling.
Nightclubs, discos, and clubs each have their own unique characteristics, and there's even a large casino here, which has certainly attracted a number of people to Hell's Kitchen.
Every night, gang members and police would increase patrols, which greatly annoyed Matthew Murdoch. Was this a good thing or a bad thing?
Fisk cut off the drug and human trafficking routes, causing gangs outside Hell's Kitchen to seek new ports. As a result, supplies became scarce, and Fisk began to take action, digging out addicts from Hell's Kitchen and sending them to rehab centers.
To this end, Vanessa launched a charity auction, selecting works by a relatively unknown painter, though the paintings were quite good.
Link was also among those invited. He attended with Jessica and bought a painting for $20,000, which he then hung in their guest room.
The auction was a great success. After all, the stated purpose was to help drug addicts, but in reality, it just cleared them out of Hell's Kitchen. It will be very difficult for them to come back.
However, if they could quit drugs, they might be able to start a new life, but that's too difficult, as everyone knows.
Vanessa shone brightly at the auction; she got what she wanted, but this was just the beginning. From then on, she would frequently frequent New York's high society.
……
The Pinnacle Awards were held as scheduled. Link noticed that Stark Industries was currently negotiating with the military about the procurement of Jericho missiles, and Stark Industries' stock rose again.
Link took this opportunity to sell all his stocks and immediately bought shares in Hammer Industries.
At this moment, Hammer Industries' stock price dropped slightly, and Link didn't hesitate to make a move. His 1.1 billion US dollars had now become nearly 1.2 billion.
The profits were donated to a charitable foundation!
Once he finished his operation, news of Tony Stark's disappearance finally came back, and Stark Industries' stock immediately dropped by about three percent, while Hammer Industries' stock began to rise.
Coulson called Link and asked him to gather some information from the upper echelons of New York to see if he could get anything out of it, and then there was no further action.
Actually, this is a bit strange. S.H.I.E.L.D. should have been keeping an eye on Tony Stark the whole time. Why didn't they intervene when he was kidnapped?
Perhaps even S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't expect that Stark would be kidnapped under the protection of the military. After all, it sounds like a joke. It's hard for most people to believe that Stark would be taken away from the hands of the US military.
As time went on, Stark disappeared for longer and longer periods, which naturally dealt the biggest blow to Stark Industries. However, because Stark Industries had so many profitable projects, its stock did not fall by much.
Link had also analyzed that Obadiah Stanislav, as the mastermind behind the scenes, would not have been unprepared and allowed Stark Industries' stock price to plummet.
However, Hammer Industries benefited. As time went on, Justin Hammer hinted on various occasions that Stark was dead, and Hammer Industries' stock price rose significantly, making Link a fortune.
Thus, more than two months after Stark's disappearance, Link began to slowly sell off his Hammer Industries stock, with his funds reaching 1.3 billion US dollars.
By buying low and selling high, Link made over $100 million in two separate transactions, most of which came from the appreciation of Hammer Industries stock.
Fortunately, Link has also gotten through tax season, so he can patiently wait for Stark's return and announce the closure of the weapons division.
Stark Industries' market capitalization of $200 billion has plummeted by more than 55%, falling to less than $100 billion. Link is preparing to short Stark Industries to make a good profit.
He directly used ten times financial leverage and subsequently borrowed over ten billion US dollars worth of Stark Industries stock from various financial institutions for a period of one month.
By the time all this was done, Stark had been missing for three months, and Link had finally received news of Stark's rescue. The stock price began to rise, but Link was still holding onto his shares. He only acted the day before Stark's return, selling all his shares at once.
However, this did not affect the stock price, and countless people rushed to buy it. If Tony Stark returned and did not announce the closure of the weapons department, then Link would go bankrupt.
But he wasn't afraid. At worst, he could go to Africa, capture Ulysses Klaue, steal his vibranium, and then sell him to Wakanda.
……
Stark is back, and he's going to hold a press conference as soon as he gets off the plane.
Link was in his foundation office, watching the press conference on television. Jessica sat beside him, unaware of Link's financial dealings.
Jessica took a small sip of her wine and asked, "Why are you paying attention to him?"
"Of course we should pay attention to him. The development of our foundation depends on him," Link said with a smile, then continued to watch the television.
Jessica stopped talking; she noticed her boyfriend was paying extra attention to her today.
