Homelander Comics

Ikana was in a dilemma.

……

"Your role has been offered." Bai Ye's hand naturally went deep into Christina Hendricks' collar, gently pinched it, and said, "The heroine of Venom, the production cost is 1 million US dollars. How about it, I didn't break my promise to you, did I?"

"Venom?" Christina Hendricks asked in surprise, "Is that the superhero nicknamed 'Deadly Guardian' from Overwatch?"

"That's right." Bai Ye nodded and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate Venom. In the current Watchmen League, he may be the most popular one except for Black Superman. Maybe it's because we have seen too many superheroes, so anti-heroes like Venom who are both good and evil are more popular. Just wait and see, the box office of the movie Venom will definitely not be too bad."

"I'm so happy to have the leading female role. I don't get to choose. What's more, the production cost is 1 million US dollars, which is already a Hollywood A-level production." Christina Hendricks kissed Bai Ye happily and said, "Thank you, Master."

"In fact, you should have contacted me earlier. In terms of IP influence, Black Superman, Iron Man, and Blue Devil are obviously stronger than Venom." Bai Ye said: "You also know that I have a lot of things to do now. I am very busy. Sometimes I am bound to miss things when I am doing things."

By now, the movies of "Black Superman", "Iron Man" and "Blue Devil" have been filmed and are just waiting for post-production. Naturally, there is no room for Christina Hendricks to intervene.

"Knowing that you are a man who can do great things, how dare I contact you casually? What if I delay your important event?" Christina Hendricks rolled her eyes at Bai Ye.

You clearly forgot about the other person, but now you are saying something nice about him.

Why did you go early?

"Spider-Man's global box office is close to $40 billion, but that's the IP influence of the superhero's popularity. As for Venom, I hope it can reach $10 billion. Then I will be the heroine of a $10 billion box office movie in the future."

"That's not all!" Bai Ye pinched Christina Hendricks and said with a wicked smile, "If you perform well, you can also act in Scarlet Spider Woman in the future."

"Ah this..."

Christina Hendricks weighed the football in front of her and said in surprise: "With my body shape, can I play a flying female superhero?"

She knew that superheroes had a lot of high-intensity action scenes, and her figure... obviously couldn't withstand such an ordeal.

Can't stop the force of inertia.

"Don't worry, Scarlet Spider Woman is different from other superheroes. Other superheroes wear tights, but Scarlet Spider Woman relies on the symbiote suit." Bai Ye chuckled and said, "At worst, I can get you a symbiote suit myself. Anyway, I'll take care of everything, so why are you panicking?"

Bai Ye has already prepared a rough idea of ​​the script for "Scarlet Spider Woman". It's nothing more than that Venom Eddie's girlfriend was originally an employee of the Life Foundation. Later, Venom Eddie framed his girlfriend because of work, causing her to lose her job. Later, his girlfriend let bygones be bygones and chose to forgive and help Venom Eddie to defeat the Life Foundation. When his girlfriend found a new job in New York, she suddenly discovered that she also had a symbiote in her body, so she transformed into the Scarlet Spider woman to punish evil.

"Master..."

Christina Hendricks has watery eyes and a charming look that is as silky as a thread.

Just then, a phone call came.

"Why do people always interrupt me when I'm doing something important?"

Bai Ye complained.

In fact, it is very normal. His stall is so big and there are so many women. He must be looked for everywhere for business.

He took the phone and took a look at it.

It was Mariko Yashida who called.

"It's really hard not to answer the call from Mariko."

Before Byakuya obtained the Homelander template, he got together with Mariko and discussed how to kill her father and grandfather together.

"Hey, Mariko, what's the emergency?"

"It's urgent." Mariko paused and asked in confusion, "Is there someone next to you?"

"No!" Bai Ye took out a piece of black transparent lace thong and stuffed it into Christina Hendricks' mouth: "Go on."

Christina Hendricks' eyes widened instantly, and she felt a strange taste in the cloth in her mouth, so she wanted to spit it out.

"Don't vomit!"

Bai Ye slapped her butt hard.

Christina Hendricks felt aggrieved and could only do as Bai Ye said.

"The large batch of vibranium purchased by my grandfather has arrived. Yashida Industries is almost emptied by him. It's time for us to find a way to deal with that old guy and take back the control of Yashida Industries. Otherwise, if he really becomes immortal, I'll be finished." Mariko said.

Mariko's grandfather Ichiro Yashida is a typical old devil. He is cruel, vicious, cold-blooded, and repays kindness with evil. For the sake of his own plan of immortality, he has thrown everything aside. Whether it is Shingen Yashida, or his granddaughter Mariko Yashida, or the Yashida family business, Yashida Industry, which has been passed down for thousands of years, none of them is as important as his continued survival.

In order to purchase vibranium and make a suit of armor to house his immortal body, Yashida Industries was desperately siphoned away by him, and even its capital chain ran into big problems.

However, Byakuya and Mariko would definitely not let Yashida Industries go bankrupt. What they want is the influence of a chaebol that can call the shots in Japan, not an empty shell.

Bai Ye: "That old devil moves so fast?"

"Yes, things can't be delayed any longer." Mariko promised: "After we get rid of him, in addition to part of the shares of Yashida Industries, the vibranium he acquired can also be given to you, as long as you are willing to let Bank of America lend part of the working capital to Yashida Industries."

"OK." Bai Ye said, "It seems like it's time for me to go to Tokyo."

"Then you'd better come quickly. My father has also noticed something is wrong. The Yashida family doesn't seem to want him to be the successor. The two of them are fighting in secret. If you come late, I might become the victim of their fight. Then I'll die, and you'll lose the fulcrum to interfere in Yashida Industry." Mariko said.

"Understood." Bai Ye was about to hang up the phone when he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is there always a strange woman following your grandfather?"

Mariko asked curiously: "How do you know? That woman was so talkative that I was a little scared when I saw her. I wonder if she has some occult knowledge."

"It's okay, just be careful with that woman." Bai Ye said.

According to what Bai Ye knew, after World War II, the Yashida family, which had been passed down for thousands of years, rose and became increasingly prominent during Japan's reconstruction.

In fact, one of the reasons why the Yashida family rose so quickly was that the old devil Yashida Ichiro joined Hydra.

The strange woman following Ichiro Yashida is actually Madame Viper, one of the leaders of Hydra.

Lady Viper Ophelia Sarkisian is no simple person either. She once signed a contract with the god of the underworld, Sithon, which gave her the ability to greatly slow down aging and almost maintain eternal youth.

"The God of the Underworld, Xisong..." Bai Ye stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "He is known as the evil god of the multiverse on par with the Eye Demon Shuma Golas and Cytorak. I really don't know when I can reach that level."

With Bai Ye's god-like power, it's still pretty good on Earth, but it's not good enough in the multiverse.

"Forget it, it's useless to think so much, let's think of something practical."

It was such a waste that the old Japanese Ichiro Yashida purchased several tons of vibranium to develop an immortality plan for him. If it could be used to let Bai Ye develop it, maybe he could have made Tony's Blood Edge Armor?

Iron Armor technology + fourth-generation Ark reactor + strong artificial intelligence + Extremis virus + nanotechnology + Vibranium = Blood Edge Armor.

In addition to the fact that the Blood Edge Armor is strong enough, vibranium is also a metal that is very suitable for researching nanotechnology. Combining the two, the nano-steel armor that Bai Ye has always wanted can be realized.

Well, the main reason is that Zhao Hailun, who joined the Overwatch League and received sufficient financial support, has made in-depth research on nanotechnology. He needs a mysterious metal like vibranium to break the ice in the final stage of research. If it weren't for Ichiro Yashida, Bai Ye might have prepared to go to Wakanda himself, dig up dozens of tons of vibranium, lift it up and fly back to New York, and throw it to Zhao Hailun for research.

But Christina Hendricks twisted her waist in dissatisfaction.

It was you who told me before that you should help people to the end.

How come after helping half of the thing, you ran off to make a phone call? Now you're in a daze, mumbling something, and I don't know what you're saying.

She had a fight with Bai Ye.

Bai Ye said, how can this be possible? Helping others is a favor, not a duty. If I don't help others to the end, will it become a sin?

The two of them started arguing.

At the end of the argument, Bai Ye became furious and spat at Christina Hendricks, then walked away, going in the opposite direction of her.

Chapter 277: Women who love to laugh will not have bad pregnancy

"Master..."

Christina Hendricks was lying on the sofa with her hands and feet crooked and a silly smile on her face.

Eyes blurry, breathing rapid.

A standard Ahegao.

……

Tokyo.

Haneda Airport.

The person who came to pick me up was Colleen Wing.

Before, when Bai Ye was dealing with the Hand, he asked her to go to Japan to take over the remaining forces of the Hand - because her mother was Japanese and she grew up in Japan.

Bai Ye got on the Mercedes 600SEL that Colleen Wen and her men drove over, and said with a smile:

"How are things with the Hand going lately?"

"It's not like that." Colleen Wen sighed and said, "Because the Hand Club suddenly changed owners, all the original partners wanted to jump out and take a bite of the Hand Club. It was too difficult for me."

"Your value is wrong." Bai Ye said: "How promising a person is depends on how much he suffered when he was young; how decadent a person is depends on how lazy he was when he was young. I think you should be more pragmatic and confident, and consider the overall situation of the country..."

"Pooh!"

Colleen Wen spat and said with a sarcastic expression:

"Yes, yes. If you don't suffer a little when you are young, will you be able to get used to it when you are old?"

Bai Ye sighed.

What's wrong with young people today?

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to fool people.

"Master, your rhetoric is outdated... If suffering is useful, then why do some people suffer all their lives? Suffering is not worth singing about. Suffering is suffering. Suffering will not bring success. Suffering is not worth pursuing. We temper our will because suffering cannot be avoided." Colleen Wen said.

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. I know you're having difficulties, and I'm here to help you this time." Bai Ye said.

Cows and horses are becoming smarter and harder to cheat, so it's becoming difficult for him to be a capitalist.

The Mercedes-Benz 600SEL passes through the bustling streets of Tokyo.

Countless neon lights illuminate the entire city. Whether it is the glass curtain walls of skyscrapers or the shops on both sides of the streets, they all appear particularly dazzling under the neon lights.

Whether you're in Ginza, Shinjuku or Shibuya, you'll see all kinds of vehicles, from luxury cars to shabby bicycles.

"It looks very prosperous, right?" Colleen Wen said, "In fact, the Japanese people live a very depressed life. There is a concept in Japan called the Lost Twenty Years. Social life is like a pool of stagnant water. Many people live in pain, so the suicide rate in Japan is ridiculously high."

"Japan's lost twenty years... I've heard of this." Bai Ye nodded.

Colleen Wen said: "Many people have analyzed the reasons for Japan's lost twenty years, including the class-fixing young people lying flat, the hollowing out of industries due to the aging population, and the financial liberalization caused by the Hiroshima Agreement..."

Bai Ye looked at him strangely and said, "Colleen, do you think it is possible that the reason why Japan had the Lost Twenty Years was simply because Japan's mortgages were not fully repaid?"

When it comes to other things, Bai Ye may only have a vague understanding, but for this question, he has seen the answer with his own eyes.

In 2023, when he traveled through time, the Japanese economy had regained its vitality and achieved rapid growth, with an annualized growth rate of 6% in the second quarter, directly setting a record.

why?

The answer is simple: because they paid off their mortgage.

During 1988-1989, Japan experienced a crazy real estate bubble. The value of real estate in Tokyo alone was equal to the total market value of real estate in the United States. In other words, if you sold Tokyo, you could buy the entire United States.

Later, the Tokyo real estate market collapsed, causing a direct drop of 80%, resulting in an average debt of US$5.4 per household.

The whole society is in a balance sheet recession.

The mortgage period in Japan is 35 years, from 1988 to 2023 this year, exactly 35 years.

Today, the Japanese have finally paid off their historical debts and completed self-redemption, so their economy has taken off.

It’s incredible that we have paid off the debt of an entire generation.

"Ah this..."

Colleen Wing fell into deep thought.

In the end, she had to admit that Bai Ye's words made sense. The debt of $5.4 per family was too huge, enough to make people live like their grandchildren from then on. The key was the psychological part that was the hardest. So much money was thrown into the bank and was wasted... How could one not live under pressure?

"So, cherish your life and stay away from real estate, drugs and gambling."

Bai Ye patted Colleen Wen's shoulder and advised.

Colleen Wen: “…”

"By the way, you should have found the place where Yashida Industries stores vibranium, right?" Bai Ye asked again.

Under the operation of the old devil Yashida Ichiro, Yashida Industries purchased several tons of vibranium.

In the international market, one gram of vibranium is worth $1, one kilogram is worth $1 million, and one ton of vibranium is worth $1000 billion. Several tons of vibranium means that Yashida Industries has spent tens of billions of dollars in cash flow to acquire vibranium.

Even though Yashida Industries was a large company, the loss of hundreds of billions of dollars in cash flow for no reason led to severe turmoil. If the Yashida family was not a noble family in Japan with a history of thousands of years, and if Yashida Ichiro was not the supporter of Hydra, Yashida Industries would probably have gone through bankruptcy procedures.

"This..." Colleen Wen smiled awkwardly and said, "Because the order you issued temporarily, Master, has not been found yet, but don't worry, it will probably be a matter of the next two days."

"hehe."

Bai Ye glanced at Colleen Wen.

Damn stuff.
