Chapter 405: Press Conference
The two shouted to Chelse happily, then drank their respective wines, and after putting down their glasses, Obadiah shook Tony's hand cordially. &1t;/p>
"So, I'm going to arrange a press conference tonight, how is your speech prepared, this is the first day that we at Stark Group have given up on the arms deal, and we must make a good impression of a conscientious enterprise in the eyes of the citizens!"&1t;/p>
"Don't worry!"&1t;/p>
Listening to Obadi's question, Tony nodded confidently!&1t;/p>
"I've been sitting in college for three years as a student leader, and I know how to make speeches, and I know how to convince people, uncle, as long as you support me, then we have no reason to fail!"&1t;/p>
"Of course I support you, even without your space program, I will have no spare energy to support you, Tony, I watched you grow up, you kid still peed on me, haha!"&1t;/p>
Obadiah laughed and teased, his words causing Tony to touch his nose in frustration. &1t;/p>
"Well, I was a kid then, and you should be glad I only peed in the first place!"&1t;/p>
"That's right, haha, I'm leaving, kid, you must prepare your speech, the image of Stark Group must not be tarnished!"&1t;/p>
Obadiah finally admonished, and immediately after, he left the office!&1t;/p>
The moment he walked out of the office, the expression on Obadai's face changed dramatically, sweat appeared on his forehead, and he was grinding his teeth constantly!&1t;/p>
"Oh my God, how could I have thought before, I must not hurt Tony!"&1t;/p>
He muttered to himself, and the content of his words frightened even himself!&1t;/p>
He is sixty-three years old, and he has been in the Stark Group since he was seventeen, as he said, he is Tony's father, Howard Stark's cousin, he has survived in this company to this day, this is his only home, and it is the sustenance of his life!&1t;/p>
He followed Howard through the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, and the Gulf War, Howard's wisdom and his ability to do things were perfectly combined, if Howard was the best scientist in the world in his mind, then he was the best businessman in the world in Howard's heart!&1t;/p>
It was his operation and sales ability that opened up the arms trading market in one hundred and twenty-one countries around the world for the Stark Group, and it was his tongue that obtained orders of more than 7,465 billion yuan for the Stark Group, and the turnover of the Stark Group for decades was as high as 7 trillion, all of which is far more than Howard alone knows the credit of those weapons!&1t;/p>
And just a year ago, Howard died!&1t;/p>
It was a nightmare in Obadiah's mind!&1t;/p>
The fact that Howard, a genius comparable to Albert Einstein, actually died in a car accident, it was a goddamn nightmare!&1t;/p>
That night, Obadiah lost sleep, his countless years of routine and rest habits completely collapsed, he sat anxiously on the bed, he even drove away his lover, he left himself alone in the bedroom, helplessly begging for the moonlight falling from the sky!&1t;/p>
"Where is Stark Group going!"&1t;/p>
He asked himself what will happen to an aircraft carrier-class consortium when it loses its competitive core!&1t;/p>
There are many families and plutocrats like the Stark Group, but why is Obadiah so worried about the Stark Group, and why don't other families fall into collapse because of the death of one person like the Starks?&1t;/p>
It is precisely because Stark Group does not have an industry!&1t;/p>
Unlike other families, the only field in which Stark Group can be called a giant is the arms aspect, whether it is the mobile phone industry, the construction industry, the aircraft industry, the automobile industry, or even the energy industry, Stark Group is involved, but they have almost no achievements in those industries!&1t;/p>
And in the arms industry, Howard Stark's endless whimsy has led the Stark Group in weapons for almost a decade!&1t;/p>
But until that day, until Obadiah learned of Howard's death!&1t;/p>
In this way, 60 percent of Howard's shares were inherited by Tony, and Tony paid 23 percent of the high estate tax in the United States, and he sold the 23 percent of the shares to the other 11 shareholders today, and paid the full estate tax in this way!&1t;/p>
Because the transfer of shares caused by the inheritance has almost all of Obadia's time, among the 23% of the shares, the person with the largest shareholding ratio even holds 8% of the shares, and the 8% of the shares is the fourth largest shareholder even in the Stark Group, such a person is not easy to eliminate!&1t;/p>
In order not to let sudden outsiders affect the direction of the Stark Group, Obadiah worked hard and worked hard for a whole year to make the Stark Group barely stable, but at this time, the drawbacks appeared!&1t;/p>
Howard is gone, and almost all the projects under development on behalf of the Stark Group Research Department have fallen into a quagmire, losing Howard's mind, and those projects are difficult to solve in the estimated time, and the problems of these projects have seriously affected the Stark Group's exhibition planning!&1t;/p>
Obadiah struggled to maintain the position of the group arms giant, but at this time Tony was still there constantly drinking, he persuaded Tony, but obviously, Tony at that time disappointed him!&1t;/p>
It wasn't until Obadiah first negotiated with Tony a few months ago that he finally realized the biggest difference between Howard and Tony!&1t;/p>
Howard sees Ming creation as accomplishments and glory, while Tony just treats those as games, and for Tony, creating a new weapon is better than collecting a playboy cover girl of the year for another while!&1t;/p>
This blow to Obadiah is now fatal!&1t;/p>
In order to give Tony a sense of accomplishment in his research, Obadiah tried everything he could, and it wasn't until he used the example of Gotham City's giant Wayne Group to persuade Tony that Tony changed a little!&1t;/p>
And the story he told at that time was the story of the Wayne Group losing its chairman and the young Wayne Gongzi being unable to take on the family responsibilities, which led to a sharp decline in the strength of the Wayne Group!&1t;/p>
Under such stimulation, Tony exploded!&1t;/p>
No one knows how excited Obadiah was when Tony put the blueprints of the Jericho missile in front of him!&1t;/p>
Even Tony himself didn't know why Obadiah was in tears at that moment!&1t;/p>
It's just because Obadiah saw Howard's shadow from Jericho, even if this missile has not reached the level of science and technology in the world for at least ten years, but it contains the same sparkle as the young Howard!&1t;/p>
Obadiah saw Howard's shadow in Tony's face, and that shadow comforted him and excited him even more!&1t;/p>
But the excitement didn't last long, and Tony, who had fired Jericho, fell back into the pile of women, until this time, Obadiah showed another of Tony's shortcomings, and in Obadiah's eyes, Tony was too easy to be self-satisfied!&1t;/p>
That's right, for Tony, even Jericho is just a small game he plays, and after beating this game, Tony seems to be stuck in sage mode!&1t;/p>
This disappointed Obadiah!&1t;/p>
Thankfully, it didn't take long for Tony and Obadiah to meet their new neighbor, Dante!&1t;/p>
After that, Obadiah saw a new display of weapons!&1t;/p>
Exorcism Weapons!&1t;/p>
However, even though Tony and Dante became friends, Tony never mentioned the joint development of exorcism weapons, which disappointed Obadiah again!&1t;/p>
But all this is nothing, Obadiah's long-polished heart in the last year has quickly been up and down in the two events of Tony's attack and disappearance, and Tony's rescue by Dante!&1t;/p>
He thought that Tony, who had returned, would change a little bit even if he didn't change his ways, but when Pepper handed him the plan for the press conference in the afternoon, he knew what the real ups and downs were!&1t;/p>
Tony's return has indeed changed, but the change is so deadly, because he wants to shut down all the arms departments of the Stark Group!&1t;/p>
Oh God!&1t;/p>
"I can't let Tony mess around like this again!"&1t;/p>
In that instant, Obadiah smashed everything on his desk!&1t;/p>
The closure of the arms sector, the lash out from the US Congress, the claims of dealers, the questioning of shareholders and the abuse of shareholders!&1t;/p>
In that moment, Obadiah seemed to have seen everything he had imagined!&1t;/p>
All of that represents the destruction of Stark Group!&1t;/p>
"Damn, I have to convince him that no matter how determined he is, I can't back down on this issue, his decision will bring down the Stark Group, he will make the Stark Group fall from a consortium to a business, I will never allow it!"&1t;/p>
He said, then he picked up the papers and rushed to Tony's office, if Dante wasn't there, I'm afraid that the enraged Obadiah would be the first to scold Tony!&1t;/p>
Maybe that's luck!&1t;/p>
Dante's presence dissipated Obadia's anger, and Obadiah, who had calmed down, came to his senses and persuaded Tony Stark of his decision to shut down the arms market once and for all in another way, but he was also persuaded by Tony Stark to lead the Stark Group on a new path in space!&1t;/p>
At this time, at 7 p.m. on December 24, 2011, at the headquarters of Stark Group, at a press conference, in front of countless media, Tony Stark gave an unscripted speech, announcing that Stark Group would gradually withdraw from the arms market!&1t;/p>
"As you know, I've just gone through something I don't want to go through, and in the Middle East, a group of warlords used my weapons to open a big hole in my chest that I could put into my fist!"&1t;/p>
Tony smiled and patted his chest, and after two strokes, he simply tore his shirt open, there was no scar on his chest, but his newborn tender flesh was not the same color as his original skin!&1t;/p>
"As you can see, the skin on my chest is the same as that of a baby, and I have to thank my friend, the Demon Hunter Dante, who is considered the strongest hero in the world!"&1t;/p>
After he finished speaking, the hand holding the microphone pointed downward, and a kind of media person desperately moved the camera, and finally sent the smiling Dante into the TV, the moment Dante appeared on the camera, God knows how many little girls in the United States screamed to the point of vertigo!&1t;/p>
"If it weren't for you, my friend, I might be tasting God's old man's wine in the morgue right now, but some might say that an arms dealer like me is not entitled to heaven!"&1t;/p>
He said this, pausing for a moment, and then he asked softly!&1t;/p>
"Can't an arms dealer like me really go to heaven?"&1t;/p>
He tilted his head and grinned, his confident and wild smile also made countless girls almost burst their veins, some people like Dante, because Dante is so strong and handsome that he is inhuman, and more people like Tony Stark!&1t;/p>
Because he's rich!&1t;/p>
Of course, no one could answer Stark's question, because it was not time for reporters to ask questions, so he immediately answered his own questions!&1t;/p>
"You're right!"&1t;/p>
He said, and his words caused an uproar down there!&1t;/p>
"Maybe you've all wondered why I announced this press conference, this is probably the second press conference I have held since I inherited the Stark Group, and the first time was when I first took office!"&1t;/p>
As he spoke, he sat down on the steps, and yes, he sat on the steps of the podium like a vagabond, and he sat there, smiling at everybody. &1t;/p>
"It wasn't like me Tony Stark who invited you to tell me my own story of walking around the brink of death!"&1t;/p>
"Of course not, the reason for this press conference is that I want to do one thing, not because I want to pull another model into my bed, but because I'm scared>!"
As he said this, there was a helpless expression on his face, his eyebrows furrowed, and everyone could see that he was gritting his teeth!&1t;/p>
"I was really scared, when the gunfire rang in my ears, when my chest was pierced by shrapnel, I really thought for a moment, as an arms dealer, am I really qualified to go to heaven?"&1t;/p>
"I have always advertised that I am only a manufacturer of weapons, my profession is no different from that of selling kitchen knives, in the past I have always believed that kitchen knives are in the hands of the knife bearer, and the knife seller cannot decide what he does with this knife, and the guilty is always the perpetrator, not the maker of the tools of crime, this is my forgotten opinion, and now, I think I am wrong!"&1t;/p>
He jerked to his feet and then reached out to the top of his head, which was marked with the name of Stark Corporation, and he was referring to the giant Stark!&1t;/p>
"When I was in my last days, I saw this damn word clearly on the weapons of those militants, Stark, haha, what a striking sign, I am Stark, and I ended up falling on top of my own weapons, they took my life with my results, they aimed at me with what I sold, and hurt me!"&1t;/p>
Tony lowered his hand, only to see the expression on his face suddenly become serious!&1t;/p>
"I never believed in God, and I didn't believe in reincarnation and fate from the East, but at the moment I was about to die, I suddenly felt that perhaps this ironic reality was the best example of cause and effect, that I made weapons, and that I made and sold weapons would eventually be punished!"&1t;/p>
With that, he bowed heavily to the audience, and when he stood up straight again, he pulled the microphone to his lips!&1t;/p>
"Here, I want everyone to apologize, I apologize to all the people around the world who have been hurt by Stark Group's weapons, it is my weapons that hurt you, and I will be responsible!"&1t;/p>
He apologized and bowed to the audience again, he didn't look at the expressions of the audience, he couldn't hear the comments of the audience, he took the microphone again, cold sweat poured out of his forehead, he seemed to see the angry Howard standing in front of him at this moment, Howard pointed at his nose and scolded him for ruining the Stark Group's efforts for nearly eighty years!&1t;/p>
But so what?&1t;/p>
Tony smiled with relief, he shook his head to himself, even if the Stark Group is the result of your father's life, but now, he belongs to me!&1t;/p>
"I declare that the Stark Group will close all weapons research departments and completely withdraw from the global arms market, and I declare that not a single bullet will ever leave my company again, never!"&1t;/p>
After he finished speaking, he directly threw the turned on microphone out, and the microphone on the ground made a huge buzz, and the harsh sound made all the reporters who were about to ask questions cover their ears!&1t;/p>
When the reporter recovered, Tony was gone, and now standing on the podium was Obadiah Stein, smiling and taking his microphone, ready to deal with the media, something like this to wipe Tony's ass, he was used to it!&1t;/p>
