Chapter 192: Lelouch's Ambition

Selling the armor designed by Tony to ordinary people was probably the craziest decision Shen He had ever made since he came to this world.

However, the Marvel world is crazy enough.

Tony alone has technology far beyond this world in his hands, and even surpasses many alien civilizations, coupled with various resources in Shen He's hands, Chaldea already has the best farming conditions.

While enjoying his own life, if he can really develop the first civilization in the universe, it will not be in vain for him to travel through.

In the subsequent product launch, the virtual reality company introduced in detail the terms of sale and use of this "weapon of war".

Even with a strict online control system, it is still not possible for anyone to use it arbitrarily, and it is usually a weapon blockade, which can be used for home use, or even for work, and only when the system determines that the use of weapons is allowed to counterattack, can the attack be carried out.

In addition, there are a variety of easy modes that can be used when no one is in control.

Including medical mode, chef mode, repairman mode......

The civilian version is a completely versatile robot.

Originally, with Tony's technology and Jarvis who could evolve on his own, it was not difficult to do this, but Tony, as a weapon designer, had never seriously delved into the commercial needs of the civilian field.

At the end of the press conference, it was like a carnival feast for all mankind.

Even people who think they are away from danger will want such a super-era product that integrates "super clone", "robot butler" and "virtual reality game".

Then, it's time for the quotation.

"We don't plan to bundle these two instruments." Shen He took the microphone, "Today's press conference can actually be regarded as two products, the third-generation immersive virtual sleep pod of the virtual reality company, priced at 38,000 US dollars, is a priority sale, and Tony's 'war weapon', for the time being, only those who have passed the simulation training in the virtual world are eligible to buy it." ”

With Jarvis, even designing games has become simpler.

The boring programming work is a momentary thing for Jarvis, and in terms of creative design, as a virtual reality experience that is ahead of its time, even the most old-fashioned ideas can be very attractive.

However, so far, the only game in virtual reality is to control the "war weapon" for training, which includes rigorous assessment and war simulation, and the simulated war object is still an alien in New York.

As Shen He said, only those who pass the assessment are eligible to buy.

"I'm going to work with Stark Industries to create a Guardian Corporation." When Shen He was about to end the press conference, he once again threw out a bombshell news, "Steve will serve as the head of the Guardian Company, and the existing Guardian industry will be gradually handed over, and at that time, if there are people who have outstanding performance in the assessment of 'War Weapons', we will hire them with high salaries." ”

Maybe it's because there is so much heavy news today that most people are already nervously numb.

But for those who worshipped the Guardians in the past, and who themselves took to the streets in tights to imitate the Guardians, this is the most exciting news of today.

Because with this 'weapon of war', they also have the opportunity to become true guardians.

And in the eyes of a few smart people.

This so-called "Guardian Corporation" will become the outer armed force of the Chaldeans, further expanding their influence across the globe.

There is no doubt that the time has come for the World Council to make a choice.

Because all the previous actions of the Chaldeans are linked together after today's product launch, in a posture that no one in the world expected, completely establishing their new position in this world.

As the old ruler, in the face of this power that shows a behemoth posture, will it "accept" or "resist"?

This is not really determined by the will of the World Security Council.

The rulers of the Marvel world do not represent the rulers themselves, but many interest groups.

The Chaldeans already had enough stakes, enough force, enough chips.

The rest will be a long temptation, negotiation, calculation.

Shen He hoped more and more that Lelouch could finish his side of the matter quickly, and then come over to help him, after all, in the follow-up relief, it was impossible for the Chaldea to continue to hide behind Coulson and the others without coming forward.

Two days after the press conference.

Tony receives General Ross from the military at the virtual reality company to discuss the military's order for "weapons of war".

Rose had a very unpleasant encounter with Tony in the past, but at this level, no one is a person with a small belly, and the aliens in front of him are like a mountain pressing on him, and he desperately needs these weapons.

However, he did not come alone, and brought with him many other arms dealers.

Among them is Justin Hammer, who appeared in the movie.

This man is basically the representative of profiteers, and the largest arms dealer in the world outside of Stark Industries.

"Tony, you're beautiful right now."

Rose looked at Tony, who seemed to be more coquettish than before, and couldn't help but sigh.

As a general, he knows more than the average person.

Tony's status now completely surpasses that of the "rich businessmen" of the past, and he is not what he used to be when he holds the lap of Chaldegin, and even has the ability to make the whole world compromise.

Even Ross himself is nothing more than a general who can be easily removed by the World Security Council with a single word.

"I've always been like this." Tony didn't care about Rose's envy, "What are you going to do when you come here to place an order and bring some of your men to defeat in the future?" Do you expect them to be able to keep the price of the order down? ”

"That's what Congress wants."

Ross said he couldn't take the blame anymore, and he showed Tony the documents signed directly by Congress.

"Now is a special period, we need to obtain a large number of orders in a short period of time, and the production efficiency of Stark Industries obviously cannot keep up, these 'peers' of yours are here to share some tasks."

"Yes, that's it." Hammer interjected, reaching out to Tony on the shoulder, "Tony, do you know how happy I was when I knew you were planning to reopen the weapons industry?" Competition can make people progress, and without Stark Industries, we at Hammer Industries have regressed a lot. ”

Somewhat surprisingly, Tony didn't shake Hammer's arm.

This flattered Hammer a little.

"That's good." Tony looked at General Ross, "It's really urgent now, we agreed to transfer some of the production to other companies, come with me, I've got everything ready." ”

Rose's eyes flickered slightly.

How could he not know that this time it was just a test by the World Security Council to test whether the Chaldeans had any intention of sharing benefits.

Now it seems that the Chaldeans are not ready to hold everything in their hands.

"Tony, I'm so impressed." Hammer was chattering there alone, obviously overjoyed, "In the future, if anyone says that we have no morals in selling arms, I will be the first to disagree, Tony, you are a model for arms dealers....... Rest assured, I will offer Stark Industries the best conditions for the victory of the war! ”

Smack-

A thick stack of papers fell straight into Hammer's face.

"Sign it, and all the cooperation content is in it." Tony's expression was flat.

"What? Contract? Hammer was stunned.

He has been in business for so many years, and he has never seen anything like this, there is no negotiation, and the other side directly takes out a stack of contracts and asks him to sign them.

"You can also choose not to sign it." Tony looked at his watch, then stood up, "You have an hour, if you sign the contract, I'll come over, if you don't plan to sign it, then leave by yourself, my time is busy, General Ross, if you plan to see the specific weapon performance, I think you can find our technical staff to receive it." ”

"No problem." Rose nodded, looking at Hammer with an aggrieved look and a sarcastic smile.

He still thinks that Tony is still an arms dealer like them, and these merchants are no longer qualified to bargain with Tony.

Tony left the room refreshed.

Thinking of the future development prospects that I talked about with Shen He before, my heart was also a little hot.

If I can really develop Stark Industries to that point and let my father know, I will be very happy.

While Tony was feeling the change in status, the Shen River side was also continuing the Chaldean internal meeting.

To be precise, it was his internal meeting with Lelouch.

Since the last meeting, Shen He has found that the vast majority of Servants are actually not interested in what they do in the Marvel world, and they have been summoned every time in the past, just representing a "no concealment" attitude, but with the increasing number of Servants, it is indeed not necessary to summon everyone every time.

After all, the only one who is really interested and can help is Lelouch.

"Master, have you ever considered that the power of the Chaldeans in this world continues to develop like this, and we have no way to stay out of it." Lelouch said in a more euphemistic tone.

But Shen He understood what he meant in an instant.

So far, Chaldea has not really intervened in the management of the Marvel World Periphery industry.

The agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. were given carte blanche to Coulson.

And the business of the virtual reality company is left to Tony.

Shen He, the titular head of the chief, only had the job of discerning what needed to be done by the Chaldeans, and meddling in some arrangements that knew the plot in advance.

"But the core strength of the Chaldeans lies with you." Shen He frowned slightly, "There shouldn't be any possibility of rebellion." ”

He has always trusted Coulson and Tony.

But this kind of trust is also based on the guarantee of strength, Shen He has always believed that as long as he has servants by his side, he is fearless, so it doesn't matter if those industries and developments on the periphery are handed over to them.

"The Lord really needs to understand the nature of power." Lu Luxiu shook his head, even in the face of Shen He, he showed a helpless smile mercilessly, "In a company, the board of directors has absolute control, but most of the time, they have to listen to the CEO, why?" Because the CEO's decisions are profitable. ”

This is a very graphic metaphor.

Shen He listened carefully, thought carefully, and quickly understood what Lelouch meant.

Truly.

If Coulson, or Tony, now uses the rights of the periphery to make a decision that is different from the Chaldean concept, but does not lead to serious disagreement, the result can only be a step back for the Chaldeans.

The reason is very simple, these peripheral industries are inseparable from them at all.

All the tasks and arrangements of the agents, Shen He was done through Coulson, and he didn't even know a few of the lower-level leaders.

Not to mention the virtual reality company, all the employees except the agents, were sent from Stark Industries.

Even the current product sales are under Tony's sole responsibility, and without him, Shen He can't do anything at all.

"You're right." Shen He couldn't help but sigh, "I really ignored the power we developed in the Marvel world too much. ”

If it's just a small fight at the beginning, it doesn't matter at all.

But if the Chaldean forces in the Marvel world really develop into a behemoth, and then clash with Tony and them one day in the future, it will be very troublesome.

"In Chaldea, you have an absolute command." Lu Luxiu saw that Shen He understood, and continued, "Although there are only three at most, this represents the authority of the master, once there is an unconvincing conflict of ideas between each other, it is inevitable to focus on the concept of the master, so that the conflict can be avoided from expanding to the point of being out of control." ”

It's a very simple truth.

If power is too dispersed, it is easy to lead to fragmentation, too centralization, and it will suppress the power of the group.

"But there's nothing we can do right now." Shen He spread his hands, "As you just said, the board of directors has absolute control, why should we listen to the CEO, we are not capable of handling those things." ”

"The matter on my side can be resolved in two months at most." Lelouch's eyes flickered slightly, and he said his purpose, "I hope that the Lord can let me participate in the management of forces in the Marvel world." ”

The current Lelouch has long since not put all his mind on revenge.

He began to think about what would happen after his revenge.

Nanali is not a servant and can only live in the world over there, but does he really want Nanali to live the life of an "ordinary person"?

And Xia Li......

The Chaldeans had infinite worlds, infinite possibilities, and even he himself could have infinite lives.

It was necessary to occupy a sufficient position in the increasingly powerful Chaldees, and Lelouch saw very clearly that as a man, he had no other way to "compete for favor" and avoid being "forgotten" than to show his worth.

And his greatest value is not the "king's command" at all, but the mind.
