Chapter 404: Obadiah's Ambition
Jumping out of the swaying car, Dante didn't even look back at the car in the distance, Nick's style annoyed him a little, this guy obviously just needs to keep pleading, maybe Dante can also agree to his request.
Who knew that this old bastard was always good at turning everything into a deal, and it wouldn't be fun to play like that!
"Good luck with your S.H.I.E.L.D. being played bad by yourself!"
Dante chattered, and then, with a wave of his hand at the passers-by who were looking around him, leaving a charming smile, he disappeared completely!
Passers-by were very confused at this time!
"Damn, got into a car accident,, someone jumped out of the car,, superhero,, demon hunter,, no ......!"
It's a pity that Dante didn't give them time to react at all, he disappeared without a trace, which made passers-by regret take pictures of Nick's car going away with their mobile phones, but when they uploaded this video to the Internet, they found that the video was quickly deleted, and even their accounts were blocked!
At the same time, in Tony's office, Obadiah Stan sat solemnly across from Tony.
Looking at Obadiah, Tony was a little upset, he frowned, and then spoke.
"Uncle Obadi, you shouldn't have driven my friend, not to mention that it was a demon hunter, you should know Dante better than I do, he ......!"
"I know!"
Obadiah interrupted Tony, only to see him slam the coffee table in front of him, he reached into his bag and rummaged through it, and then took out a document and threw it in front of Tony!
"I know it's Dante, I know I can't mess with him, not even the whole of America, but we have more important things to do now, Tony, this is the document that your assistant just sent me, God, I can't imagine what's on it, now, tell me it's not true!"
"Oh, Pepper gave you the plan?"
As soon as Obadai finished speaking, Tony glanced at the paper, and then he placed it in front of him.
"Pepper isn't an assistant who is good at messing up a thing, and the file she gave you isn't wrong at all, not even a single letter that went wrong!"
"No, Tony, what I want to know is not whether it's right or wrong, but whether it's true or not, tell me, you don't want to shut down our weapons and equipment department, God, we are an arms group, how can you have such a terrible idea!"
"I'm sorry, Uncle Obadi, but it's my decision!"
Tony interrupted the almost enraged Obadiah with a wave of his hand, and he got up from the couch with a sneer, only to see him come to Obadai with a glass of wine and a glass of wine, and he handed Obadiah a glass of wine.
"Please forgive me for being a little wayward, Uncle Obadi, I have just been kidnapped by terrorists, and the weapons they use are all produced by our company, this is not the main thing, the most important thing is that I always thought that my weapons could bring a little change to the world, I did it, but it was not positive, I caused trouble to many people, I brought danger to many people, my weapons were harnessed by countless executioners, and finally came to my own head and almost took my life!"
"But you can't be so willful, Tony, put down this document, let's have a drink, trust me, I understand how you feel right now, I know you're suffering, kid, but you're the president of Stark Group and the highest shareholder, no matter what, you have to keep your sanity!"
Obadi's determined expression was on Tony's face, and he planned to communicate with Tony in a different way, Tony was similar to his dad Howard in some ways, and Obadiah knew the family, he knew that Howard was the same, and Tony had obviously inherited that!
He simply drank the wine Tony poured for him in one gulp, and then he grabbed Tony's arm, and he led Tony to the floor-to-ceiling window, and then reached out to the countless moving people below.
"This is your company, yes now, but it was your father and my company not so long ago, Tony, Howard spent his life for the Stark Group, he used his countless whimsical ideas and great business ideas to make his arms go to the world, he paved such a vast market for us, and there are countless customers waiting to be fed in the future with money waiting for our favor, we are the darling of the United States, and even the world's military, especially your latest invention of the Jericho missile, which will become the ultimate conventional weapon of the world's armies!"
Obadiah said excitedly, and as he spoke, he waved his hands emotionally!
"I came to this company at the age of seventeen, I am your father's cousin, and when I came here, this company was the most difficult time, the United States and the Soviet Union were in the Cold War, there was constant friction between the two countries, weapons, equipment, missiles, everything was proved by the military industry, in the competition with the Soviet Union, the United States could not afford to lose, and could not lose!"
"But so what, the Cold War is over!"
Tony grinned back, and Obadai hurriedly grabbed Tony's shoulder!
"Yes, that's in the past, but I'll never forget that period of history, when we raced against time, even if a genius like Howard only had two to three hours off a day, countless new weapons were developed by us, and then equipped with the American army, and it was those weapons that broke through almost every second that made us reject the deterrence of the Soviet Union, it was an extremely exhausting war, that cold war made me go from an assistant to a department head, and I rose from there until I became your father, that is, my cousin's right and left hand, Tony, please don't give up our arms market, this is my eternal glory and your fatherIt's our life!"
As Obadi spoke, he even shed a little tear!
"You know, we are the Stark Group, but you are not a controlling shareholder, even if the shares of the two of us combined, it is barely more than fifty percent, if during this period, you announce the cessation of arms trading, then the rest of our shareholders will never give up, and even this is not the key, the most important thing is that we have received hundreds of billions of orders, countless armies are waiting for our Jericho to go to their arms, we can't pay such a large amount of liquidated damages, your actions will make the Stark Group collapse, Tony!”
"No, no, no, haha, of course it can't be, my uncle!"
Listening to Obadi's anxious words, Tony laughed.
"Regarding what you just said, I will explain at the press conference in the evening, we will definitely not default on the orders that the Stark Group has signed, but after the delivery of this batch of orders, we will never continue the arms project, I have made up my mind, Uncle Obadi!"
"Maybe we shouldn't say it so absolutely, Tony, if you really want to shut down our arms trade, then we shouldn't just bring it up like this, maybe we can reveal this decision little by little, at least give an explanation to our buyers and the general public, otherwise, the stock price of Stark Group will plummet, we can't bear it, and there is no need to bear this turmoil!"
As he spoke, Obadi pulled Tony back on the couch and patted him on the shoulder.
"Tony, I grew up watching you, your father and I are lifelong friends and brothers, so I will support you unconditionally, but my support should not be exchanged for the collapse of the Stark Group, we should do what you want in a different way, I know, you were hurt by our own weapons, I know that this makes you have the mind you have now, and even I can support your decision to completely withdraw from the arms market, you are like my son, how could I not support you!"
When he said this, the facial features on his face were almost tangled!
"But, Tony, even with my support, you shouldn't be so decisive, because this is not just a matter of the two of us, this is a whole group, it is a chaebol, it is a family, and it is the source of food for countless people, don't forget, our group has a total of more than 70,000 employees, if we announce a complete withdrawal from the arms trading market at this time, have you considered the situation that these more than 70,000 people will face, maybe you have other money-making projects in mind, but I believe that no matter how good the project in your hand is, our employees will never be able to seamlessly connect with your new project, they have been engaged in weapons for a lifetimeThe oldest weapons expert has been with Stark Group for more than forty years, how are you going to deal with them, Tony!"
Obadiah spoke slowly, his words sharp and sharp, and all of this made Tony fall into deep thought, and he picked up his glass and drank it down.
"You have a point!"
When he said this, it meant that he admitted that there was a problem with his plan, and he did not think about the price after he announced the delisting, but now that he thought about it, as Obadai said, the price of direct delisting is a bit huge.
However, Obadi's enthusiasm made Tony a little skeptical, because if Stark Group really withdrew from the arms market, Obadi, as the group's second largest shareholder, would suffer the most losses!
"Uncle Obadi, I want to ask, ...... you Do you really agree with me?"
Tony finally asked, and his words made Obadi laugh heartily!
"Haha, why don't I agree, my nephew, I already have too much, although I don't mind having more, but more for me, not necessarily more is not necessarily more interesting than less, I have watched the Stark Group go through countless years, I have seen Howard in countless projects for the group during his lifetime, he failed, whether it was his car, or his mobile phone, he failed to beat other giants in the same industry, he worked hard all his life, we are just giants in the arms industry, but now, you are here, you are a genius, I also want to know, if you make up your mind to change the environment for our group, can we take a new step!”
Obadai smiled and patted Tony on the shoulder, his hand rising and falling on Tony's body until finally, he narrowly approached Tony and asked.
"But can you tell me about it, Tony, what do you want to do after you give up the arms business, and how about sharing it with me?"
"Of course, Uncle Obadei!"
Listening to Obadai's question, Tony nodded, he picked up the wine again and poured it for Obadai, and then the two of them picked up their glasses and touched them!
After drinking it all, Tony put down his glass and said.
"It's the aerospace industry, uncle!"
"Aerospace industry?"
Obadai was stunned for a moment, and his eyebrows immediately furrowed!
"The Morgan family is doing this, you should know that, their space station has been built, they are working on the only space tourism project in the world, they have the most cutting-edge technology and the early market, I think, it's very difficult for us to catch up!"
"No, we have a good chance, because Dante!"
Tony interrupted Obadi's words in an instant!
"Although the arms market has never been saturated, the market environment relying on the war makes it difficult for this industry to be recognized by citizens, but the aerospace industry is different, believe me, uncle, every human race has the dream of rushing out of the earth, the future of the earth must be to colonize the solar system, the galaxy is the future of mankind, I believe that every interstellar pioneer who is active in today's era will get an endless future, uncle!"
"Wait!"
At this point, Tony interrupted Obadi!
"You just mentioned Dante again, can he help you in the aerospace industry?"
"Haha, I'm afraid you don't know the news yet, Uncle Obadi, although Dante himself doesn't know about space technology, he has a group of friends, that's real, friends from far outside of space, I have personally boarded an alien spaceship, that spaceship contains enough technology for me to absorb for several years, maybe we can directly exchange a certain amount of shares with Dante for spaceship entities, I believe that we are fully capable of walking on the tip of the stars, that is not only the so-called space station can be comparable to technology, it is a real, spacecraft that can sail and jump, my uncle, I am going to talk to Dante about this tonight after withdrawing from the arms marketand he was driven away by you!"
"God, what you say is true?!!"
Obademon, he was really surprised, he thought about the answer he might get from Tony's mouth, but he didn't expect that this answer was far beyond his imagination, if Dante could really help the Stark Group master the mature aerospace technology, in that case, even if it was just the rare earth mining and sales on other planets in the solar system, it would be enough for the Stark Group to buy the entire United States!
"I can't believe it, aliens, my God, first demons, then Odin, and now aliens, I'm sixty-three years old, I feel like I've lived in countless deceptions all my life, it turns out that this is the real world!"
Obadi's mouth opened wide and muttered to himself, Tony's plan had easily shattered his heart, if he could really obtain mature spaceship building technology, then why did he carry out his original plan!
That's right, he has a plan in his heart, a dangerous plan, Tony's willful attempt to shut down the arms deal made Obadai extremely dissatisfied with him, and Howard's death made Obadai, who had been the second child all his life, have sporadic ambitions, but until now, he felt that he didn't need to kick Tony, because Tony's current plan was enough for Obadai to fight for his life!
Most importantly, Obadai is looking forward to his future, and the president of a group capable of interstellar voyages is far more noble than the president of an arms company he is now!
What's more, Dante and Tony are friends, but he and Dante are not!
Thinking like this, Obadai hugged Tony Stark fiercely!
"My Tony, I'm so proud of you, even if your father is still alive, he will look up to you for what you are about to achieve!"
"Haha, I like your assessment, Uncle Obadai!"
Listening to Obadiah Stan's words, Tony smiled with satisfaction, and he filled two glasses, and then he and Obadiah raised their glasses together.
"Cheers to our future, uncle!"
