Chapter 15: Obidia Stein's Invitation

Obidia Stan played with the pulse pistol and said to Rorschach, "Mr. Rorschach is a smart man and should know what I mean." For Tony, this design of yours is just a toy, but for us, it is an excellent product that can bring us a lot of benefits. ”

Rorschach didn't answer, and since Obidia Stan had found him with a pulse pistol, he had found out that it was his own. Whether Tony was tricked by Obidia Stein, or Obideia Stan deduced from the clues that the pistol was designed by someone else, the fact that he appeared in front of him meant that he was sure enough.

In that case, it would be pointless for Rorschach to deny it.

"Mr. Stan really thinks of me, and I don't think this little bget means much to Stark Industries." Rorschach asked tentatively.

"No, no, no, you're underestimating yourself too much, and you're looking too highly of Tony. In my opinion, your invention will not be much worse than Tony's. And I think Mr. Rorschach and I have more in common than Tony. Obidia Stein said confidently.

"How so?" Rorschach asked.

"Do you know how I knew you designed this pistol?"

Without waiting for Rorschach to answer, Obidia Stan explained, "Because I found out that Tony was disassembling this pistol, and if he had invented it in a cave, he wouldn't have to do it at all, but would have made an upgraded version of it from better materials." I know Tony and he will definitely do it.

"Therefore, I deduce that this pistol was not invented by Tony, so who is the inventor? Obviously, among the people who survived in that cave, only Rorschach was the most likely.

"But that's not the point, the point is that Tony will start developing his new weapon based on the above technology after studying this pistol of yours. He's tossing your masterpiece aside, so I can get my hands on it so easily. Do you know what I mean? ”

Obidia Stein said in a rather sincere tone.

"I don't understand, Tony is a very genius scientist, he always designs unique weapons, so it's normal that he doesn't care about my inventions." Rorschach said with a shrug of nonchalant.

"You're right, Tony won't care about your invention because he can always do it better. But he didn't want to think about it, his better and better weapons needed finer standards, higher costs, and there was no possibility of mass production.

"And the weapons that are really used for trading need to be cheap, massive, and have a low failure rate, which is the best product. Both Tony and his father, Howard, are geniuses, yet they are both business amateurs. And I don't need a design that is ahead of my time, just a design like this pistol, or even lower. Rorschach, we can make many, many dollars more, even more than Stark Industries as a whole. Obidia Stan seduced.

Only then did Rorschach realize that Obidia Stan was trying to dig himself up to help him design a weapon.

Rorschach was about to say no, but after thinking about it, it didn't seem like a bad thing.

Obidia Stein is the CEO of Stark Industries, and he is the largest shareholder of Stark Industries, in addition to Tony. The resources he has at his disposal are not much worse than Tony's. The reason why he wants to kill Tony is because Tony is too good at tossing and making a mess of the company.

This is probably a common problem of super geniuses, who always like to make inventions that seem awesome, but in fact have little application prospects. A large amount of Stark Industries' R&D funds were wasted by Tony like this, not that he couldn't invent something that could generate profits, but he was too lazy to do it.

Because such an invention would make Tony feel rather unstylish, so he dismisses it.

Obidia Stan also thought about it for a long time before deciding to kill Tony, which was actually more like he was tired of Tony's messing around, rather than just to swallow Tony's shares.

However, the assassination of Tony failed, and Obidia Stein set his sights on Rorschach. In his opinion, Rorschach may not be as smart as Tony, but he is much better than the group of developers under him, and his personality does not seem to be as good as Tony's.

If he can work with Rorschach, Obidia Strain will let Tony toss Stark Industries himself.

He has secretly withdrawn funds, planning to use his connections to re-establish an arms company and snatch all the orders vacated by Stark Industries. Anyway, Tony doesn't plan to make arms, he plays so badly, Obidia Stan naturally won't be polite to him.

And if Rorschach chooses to cooperate with him, he will be able to obtain a lot of resources at least in a short period of time. Unlike Tony, Obidia Stan is a businessman who focuses more on the process of equivalent transactions. And the relationship between Rorschach and Tony is more like a friend, and they exchange all technical inspirations, which also makes Rorschach embarrassed to ask Tony for various resources.

But for Obidia Stein, there is no such concern at all.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Rorschach still refused, "I'm sorry, I won't be working with you for the time being." ”

"I need a reason." Obidia Stein's face turned rather unsightly.

"I can give you two, first, I am not short of money; Second, I've never liked to talk to people about business when I'm threatened. Rorschach said calmly.

Actually, Rorschach has another reason. Obidia Stan's assassination of Tony will soon come to light, and now working with him, the business will be yellow in a few days, and there is no point at all.

The metal bracelet hidden inside Rorschach's sleeve has begun to sparkle and is ready to be assembled into a sensor glove.

If Obidia Stan dared to let his men in black suits move at this distance, then Rorschach would have taught him what it meant to be able to defeat an enemy country within ten paces.

But Obidia Stein's bearing seemed to be better than Rorschach thought, not only did not get angry, but smiled and said: "I forgot about it, I am sincere in business, and I will let you see my sincerity." ”

Rorschach said indifferently, "Whatever you want, but I don't think you have anything to impress me." ”

"You'll know, but if I've shown enough sincerity and you still don't agree to work with me, I'll show you how arms dealers are different from other merchants." Obidia Stan threatened.

"Then I'll see." After saying this, Rorschach parted the crowd without paying attention and walked out, seemingly unafraid of Obidia Stein's turn on the spot.

Whatever sugar-coated cannonball Obidia Stan would use, Rorschach decided to sugar-coat it and throw it back.
