Chapter 274: Profiteer Delos (Second Watch)
Tony Stark is back. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Within a few days, Delos saw the news on the news.
Of course, this news is not the most exciting.
The most exciting news is that Tony Stark held a press conference as soon as he returned, announcing that he was going to shut down the weapons department of Stark Enterprise.
Think about it, what would it be like for Tony Stark, the most powerful arms dealer on the planet right now, to suddenly announce that Stark Enterprises would no longer make arms?
The popularity of the mutant topic has not been hot for half a month, and it has been suppressed by this hot topic.
Is it possible for a large company, whose main business is mainly arms sales, to suddenly stop selling arms?
Even though Tony Stark owns the most shares, he doesn't have the absolute stake advantage of the shares like Delos to fully control Stark Enterprise. So whether to sell arms or not is not up to Tony to decide.
Not only that, but because of Tony's remarks, he was directly removed from the board of directors and was not allowed to participate in the company's business plan.
Tony's high-end arms are the cash cow of Stark Enterprises, and the bigwigs of the board of directors have received countless benefits over the years because of this cash cow, how can they give up this cash cow because of Tony Stark's words?
Delos didn't care.
What he cares about is that Tony's words have caused the stock of Stark Enterprises to continue to fall.
As soon as the Stark Enterprise's stake fell, he had the opportunity to put the thief's hand in it. From the moment Tony announced himself as Iron Man, as soon as the value of the shares appreciated, it was time for him to take the opportunity to make a lot of money.
Not to mention the impact of Tony's return, Delos has other things to do at the moment.
That is, he has reached the legal age of eighteen, and the time has come to officially face the public.
After simply registering a company, Delos named it Sullivan & Co. after his last name.
Because of the wide range of things that Delos had to do, there were also a lot of formalities. But with Lex's help, these formalities are not a problem at all.
Out of selfishness, Delos bought a building in Brooklyn, New York, and with the help of Lex, he found a young lawyer named Varna.
Although Varna is young, he has good ability, otherwise he would not have been recommended by Lex.
Under Varna's efficiency, both the recruitment of relevant staff and the formation of a team of lawyers are very fast. In just half a month, the company has recruited all the types of employees it needs.
Although there is still a shortage of manpower, it doesn't matter, it's nothing. As long as it takes a long time, the manpower problem is not a problem at all.
Then there was the operational business issue of Sullivan.
Although the business direction is relatively broad, there are still general directions.
The main business is nothing more than the arms and pharmaceutical industry.
In this day and age, it is not easy to grow a company from zero to a global corporate giant. Human Resources, Monetary Resources...... And most importantly, there are unique products that stand out from the crowd.
It's a pity that these Delos have it. Especially in terms of specialty products, Delos dares to guarantee that even the pharmaceutical products of Osborne are not as good as he does.
A month later, Deloth's second order with S.H.I.E.L.D. finally arrived.
The 3.0 version of the enhanced suit, compared to the 2.0 version, has a longer duration of abilities, and more importantly, the superpowers attached to it...... Steel.
Although it is made of steel, it is only strengthened in terms of defensive effect. But in terms of defense capabilities, ordinary armor-piercing shells and bazookas cannot break through the defense.
It's just that version 3.0 is more expensive than version 2.0.
One billion dollars a piece!
This is Delos's offer, and there is no room for rebuttal.
If you divide it according to the level, version 2.0 is the ordinary soldier level, then version 3.0 is the special soldier level.
With version 3.0 put to good use, it will not be a problem for one person to pick up hundreds of soldiers armed to the teeth.
That's right, when Nick Fury approached him to negotiate the price, Delos didn't mean to change in the slightest.
In the end, Nick Fury still chose to order 300 2.0 and 20 3.0 enhancement suits, plus more than 20,000 special nutritional potions.
No way, they can't afford not to buy it. If it's just version 2.0, it's fine, but the key is that if the version 3.0 enhanced suit wants to exert its full combat power at full power, it needs a special nutrition potion specially configured by Delos.
One special nutritional potion is only enough for six hours at full power for the 2.0 Enhanced Suit and three hours at full power for the 3.0 Enhanced Suit.
Although the special nutrition potion is much cheaper than the battle suit, the more than 10,000 special nutrition solutions add up to more than 50 billion US dollars. It can be seen how badly Delos deceived S.H.I.E.L.D. after he brought his profiteer nature to the extreme.
It's a pity that S.H.I.E.L.D. has to accept this pit, whether it is a lack of combat effectiveness or other aspects, to solve these problems, S.H.I.E.L.D. must be pitted by Delos.
"Seriously, can't you sell cheaper?"
Nick Fury looked at the barrage of expense data, and the big black face became even darker: "Your price is too unreasonable." ”
"It's already cheap."
Delos gave Nick Fury a blank look: "Do you know how much these suits are worth potentially? That's priceless! ”
"Not to mention the superpowers brought by the suit, but to mention the use time, a suit is enough to use for thirty years, as long as it is not destroyed, basically do not care about the maintenance problem, only need to care about the cost of special nutritional potions. With these suits, it will not be difficult for you S.H.I.E.L.D. to rule the world one day. And do you know how labor-intensive it takes to make these suits? How much money did it cost me to develop, how many precious materials and how much spirit? Is it easy for me to make so many suits? ”
Nick Fury watched as Delos was talking nonsense there, eager to smack that mouth a few times.
He didn't know where Delos got the equipment and resources to do this, but he thought it was Lex Luthor who provided it. To this end, he had his men secretly investigate the financial expenditures of Luther's business.
So Nick Fury is pretty sure that the cost of making these things is definitely not that expensive.
If it weren't for the fact that Delos in front of him was not the kind of weird guy who could threaten him with force, Nick Fury would have wanted to mobilize people to directly threaten him with force.
Nick Fury stared at Delos with the one eye in front of him for a few moments, and after 'abusing Dilos N times' with his eyes, he withdrew his eye knife and handed him a file shelf.
Delos flipped through the files in the folder and looked at Nick Fury with those deep blue eyes, his eyes full of meaning.
"You want me to be a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent from the ground up?"
"Actually, I think after this period of close cooperation, we need to deepen our connection a little more."
Nick Fury gave a rare smile, but it was so stumbling that Delos closed the folder without even thinking about it.
"No, I refuse, I'm just an advisor to S.H.I.E.L.D. No rights, no business. And for such a big thing, Black Widow and Hawkeye didn't look for you, but came to me, are you okay? ”
"I'm fine, but you know, no S.H.I.E.L.D. advisor is treated as well as you."
Nick Fury chased after him and showed a meaningful smile: "If it weren't for us, how could you fight crime as leisurely as before?" And in terms of the promotion of mutant rights, our people have also put a lot of effort into it......"
Hearing this, Delos pursed his lips, but finally agreed. Anyway, he owes someone a favor in this matter after all.
"So, what are you trying to do with this information for me?" Although he had a bottom in his heart, Delos still asked symbolically.
Nick Fury scrubbed his fingers, and his voice became a little deeper: "I want you to help me find someone, Bruce Banner ......"
PS: I'm too sleepy, I can't stand it.
