"I told you, in fact, I escaped this time, but I was actually rescued by Ye Ye, the chairman of the Ambrera Group."

"Yes, that's what you said." Obadi said patiently: "But what does this have to do with why the Ambrera Group has the technology of the Ark Reactor?" ”

A cutting-edge technology like the Ark reactor is destined to be impossible to patent.

Patents are protected for a period of time, usually 20 years in major industrial countries, after which the public is free to use them.

In addition to the term of protection, there is another problem with patents: if applying for a patent, the applicant needs to fully disclose the invention and formula, not only to the patent office, but also to the whole society after a certain period of time.

Trade secrets, on the other hand, have no time limit for the protection of trade secrets, provided that the information has commercial value, and the right holder has taken reasonable protective measures, such as confidentiality agreements, passwords, access control cards, etc., and others who steal the information will violate the law and may even be criminally liable.

It's like Coca-Cola's recipe has been locked in a safe at the company's headquarters, and it has not been patented at all.

Stark Group is convinced that its own technical barriers can resist the covetousness of the Ark Reactor.

However, if Ambrera Group has a breakthrough in Ark reactor technology, then Stark Group will not be able to prevent Ambrera Group from commercializing it this time.

"Because Ambrera has not only developed a miniaturized Ark Reactor, but they have also developed an exoskeleton armor powered by the Ark Reactor."

"I was rescued by Ye Ye driving this kind of armor." Tony shrugged his shoulders and said, "Ye Ye came to my office just now, mainly to seek cooperation between the two sides!" ”

"Cooperation, how can this be cooperated?" Obadi asked eagerly.

The Ark Reactor is a huge stake, so Obadi can't help but be in a hurry.

"Listen to what Ye Ye meant, he wants to establish a joint venture energy company with Stark Group, and the equity is five or five layered!" Tony thought for a moment.

"Five-five layering?" Obadi looked at him with a hint of cold star, and said: "How is this possible, this is originally something that belongs to us, how can it be possible to give half of the profits to Ambrera for nothing?" ”

Obadi gritted his teeth and said, "Although Ambrera has developed rapidly in recent years, their relationship at the top is too shallow after all, otherwise, let's contact ......"

"The exoskeleton armor technology that Ambrera has mastered now is enough to be comparable to a company of soldiers, each exoskeleton armor, Ye Ye is equipped with two Jericho missiles, and with such armor, Ye Ye has at least hundreds of them in his hands, what do you think will happen if we provoke Ye Ye?"

"How is it possible to have such a powerful exoskeleton armor?" Obadi was shocked: "As far as I know, even the US military today is far from having such exoskeleton armor technology, right?" ”

"I didn't lie to you, because, too, I have mastered the same technique." Tony sighed.

"In fact, when I was captured, I was planning to escape, and the escape tool in my mind was exoskeleton armor."

"If it weren't for Ye Ye suddenly coming to save me, maybe I would have been able to escape with the exoskeleton armor I made."

"And the exoskeleton armor technology that Ye Ye has in his hands is already extremely mature."

"In addition, he also has a strong artificial intelligence comparable to Jarvis, which can far exceed the wireless control of that kind of exoskeleton armor."

"So it's almost impossible for you to get rid of Ye Ye and want to go it alone."

Obadi believed Tony's words, so he seemed preoccupied and kept pacing.

"Even if we have to share half of the profits to Ambrera, the pressure on us is also half less!" Tony reassured that he was afraid that the old man would have a cerebral hemorrhage.

"This can't work, this can't work, Tony, the Ark Reactor is originally our technology, five or five layers, this is too much." Obadi muttered to himself.

Tony and Obadi struggled for a while before convincing the old man, who was bent on taking a strong position in the business negotiations with Ambrera, away.

"Military ...... That's my dad's brainchild! Looking at the back of Obadi leaving, Tony said excitedly.

Tony never had to worry about making money, and any invention he made would bring him a huge amount of money.

Even if Stark Group goes bankrupt, Tony can comfortably be his own billionaire.

But the Stark Group is his family business, and it is a testimony of his Stark family's foothold in the United States, and it is absolutely impossible for him to give up the Stark Group.

"Perhaps, now I should also start buying stocks and strengthen my control over Stark Group!" Tony sighed.

What happened in Afghanistan also made Tony realize that he did not have enough control over the Stark Group, and that someone could make a deal with terrorists without telling him.

Tony himself realizes that there is a ghost within the Stark Group.

It has developed into a huge group with a market value of more than 300 billion US dollars, and there are too many complicated entanglements within the Stark Group, if you can take this opportunity to clean up a group of black sheep, it will be beneficial to the future of the Stark Group.

Tony is not as harmless as he seems, and the playboy seems to be a fool, but his city methods are also extremely weak.

……

S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't find any clues about Tony's kidnapping at first, and they all thought it was just an accident.

But after Ye Ye's reminder, S.H.I.E.L.D. became serious.

An institution as large as S.H.I.E.L.D., once it seriously focuses on something and is running at full capacity, has little to keep secret in front of them.

After carefully visiting Tony's pre-trip events, S.H.I.E.L.D. still found some clues.

In a café within the Stark Group, Coulson and Pepper Pep meet.

"Miss Pep, we need your help." After a brief pleasantries, Coulson got straight to the point.

"You don't leak any information to me, how can I help you!" Pepper said angrily.

No matter how much she asked, Coulson always prevaricated her on the grounds of confidentiality, and didn't let her know a single bit about Tony's kidnapping.

"I really can't say much about this question." Coulson smiled softly and pulled out a stack of A4 papers from his briefcase.

"But where you ask for your help, it's also about the truth of the matter."

Coulson took out a stack of A4 papers, on which were portraits of some people, along with their biographical information.

"After our investigation, it is these people who are the most suspicious, so I hope you can help us find out the suspicions on these people."

"And this person is the most suspicious!" Coulson pointed to a shiny bald head.
