Chapter 354: Mark Type 2, Steel Battle Armor
Obada's death was like a meteor streaked across the night sky. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Except for those who noticed, they would exclaim, and it didn't cause much confusion.
To the outside world, it is also Obadi's heart attack that triggered a heart attack because he was too happy to see Tony return.
As for the inside story, whether Obadai framed himself or not, and whether the terrorists arranged it on purpose, Tony has no intention of pursuing it.
At the funeral, a light rain fell.
Tony was wearing a black suit with a white flower on his chest, and there were faint tears in his eyes.
Next to him, Wu Ming stood with him, listening to the pastor's prayers, and an assistant held an umbrella for the two.
Throughout the funeral, there were not many people to see off Obadai, and none of his immediate family members were present.
It's not that people take tea and cold, but among Obadi's children, none of them take the road of business tycoons, and most of them are drunk and dreaming of death.
Except for those who have a good relationship, many people have not been invited, and even Tony and Wu Ming can come because they are rich and can eat the stocks left by Obadai.
"Mr. Tony, Mr. Wu Ming, can we go over there and talk?" A oily-haired and powdery-faced boy came up and whispered.
Wu Ming and Tony glanced at each other, took the umbrella from the assistant's hand, and came to the garden area in the cemetery.
"Jack, just say something." Stopping the bodyguard from following up, Tony spoke nonchalantly.
Jack is Obadai's son, a rich second generation who likes drag racing, taking drugs, and playing with women.
He looked very restrained in front of Tony, with a flattering smile on his face, and said, "Mr. Tony, I don't know if there is a proposal to recycle shares within the company. My dad left 24 percent of the shares, and we're willing to sell if the price is right. ”
Stark Industries has a market capitalization of more than 3 trillion and 24 percent of the shares, which is not a small number.
Tony was silent for a moment, there were calls within the company to reclaim the shares, but the company didn't have that much money.
"During this time, the company's market value has shrunk slightly, but to eat this 24 percent of the shares, it still needs 800 billion US dollars. I don't have that much money now, so it's better to divide these shares equally between the two of us, and each person eats 12 percent, what do you think? Tony couldn't eat it all himself, so he put his mind on Wu Ming.
Wu Ming's face was full of smiles, he didn't refuse or agree, but said with a smile: "Tony, you hold 43% of the shares, and if you eat 12%, you will have absolute control, right?" ”
"Hehe..."Tony smiled and acquiesced.
After all, as the largest shareholder of the company, Tony inherited most of the rights of Stark Industries from his father.
If this time, another 12 percent of the shares are repurchased, Stark Industries will be as stable as a mountain, and there will be no second voice in the shareholders' meeting.
Whether or not he can buy back the shares is crucial for Tony, and it is also a golden opportunity for the Stark family.
In turn, for Wu Ming, this decision is a bit risky, because Tony will have no counterbalance in the future.
With absolute control, once Tony made up his mind to do something, no one would be able to oppose him.
In this way, Stark Industries could go to the top or hell, and the power of no one to check and balance is terrible.
"You owe me a favor again!" After thinking for a moment, Wu Ming slowly spoke, indicating his attitude.
Tony shrugged his shoulders, stretched his left hand out of the umbrella, took a few drops of rain, and smiled: "I don't care, I owe you enough favors, what if I have one more time!" ”
Between talking and laughing, the recovery of 800 billion shares was reached between the two giants.
At this point, Tony will own 55% of Stark Industries' shares, reaching the point of absolute control.
Wu Ming's shares have skyrocketed, from 24 percent to 36 percent, second only to Tony as the second shareholder.
Declare fairly, change shares, pay funds.
Within a week, all the formalities were sorted out, and Tony held his first press conference after his return.
"I announce that Stark Industries, with immediate effect, will split the weapons research and development department and say goodbye to the arms market within a year!" At the press conference, Tony said his slogan to the world.
Just like in the movie, Tony's speech caused an uproar.
Only this time, Tony has become stronger, and no one in the company can question him, and no one can oppose him.
In the audience, countless reporters looked excited and rushed forward.
Among them, a reporter from the Daily Mail rushed to hand over the microphone and asked in a loud voice: "Mr. Tony, Stark Industries started with arms." What was the problem that made you abandon the field of munitions and Stark Industries? ”
"I didn't give up Stark Industries, I just gave up on the field of arms. There is no shortage of war in this world, and I don't want to be an accomplice to war, nor do I want more innocent people to die on the weapons made by Stark Industries, which is why I give up. Tony's answer did not satisfy the reporter.
A New York Times reporter asked the second question, "Mr. Tony, may I ask Stark Industries, does giving up its strong point in the field of arms mean going into decline?" ”
"No, Stark Industries is a giant, a giant that cannot be defeated. After giving up the field of munitions, we will enter the new energy, aerospace, steel, and even the network industry. I firmly believe that such a shift is necessary and in line with Stark Industries' development and is conducive to the diversification of the company. ”
Tony doesn't like entertaining reporters, and when he said this, he said loudly: "The future development will be carried out in the presence of everyone, and I announce that this is the end of the press conference!" ”
"Mr. Tony, what happened in the days you went missing? Was it those days that gave you the idea of giving up the field of arms? ”
"Mr. Tony, Stark Industries and the Department of Defense, there is a lot of cooperation every year. Abandoning the field of arms, will you still develop weapons for the military? ”
The reporters chased and intercepted, and the enthusiasm was unimaginable.
Tony struggled his way through the crowd and, escorted by countless bodyguards, boarded a business Mercedes-Benz.
In the car, Wu Ming was talking with Tony's secretary Pepper about Tony's trivial life.
Seeing Tony get into the car, Wu Mingcai turned around and said: "During your press conference, four shareholders called me and asked if you were crazy, such a big thing was released directly without talking about it!" ”
"Discuss, what else to discuss?"
Tony didn't care about those shareholders of the company, and said with a smile: "The two of us are the bosses of the company, and the shares of those people add up, which is a fraction of us, no matter what they do." ”
Tony, who has an absolute controlling stake, has control over the company to the point of being a man of his word.
Coupled with the support of Wu Ming, the second shareholder, he didn't have to care about what those small shareholders were saying.
Seeing Tony's indifferent appearance, Wu Ming nodded in approval, and at the same time took out a piece of information: "This is what you asked me to investigate, the terrorist organization that caught you had contact with Obadai before, and no third party intervened." ”
Tony took the papers, but didn't look through them himself.
Obadiah was dead, and he was trying to be safe, fearing that someone else but Obadai would interfere.
Now it seems that this matter was planned by Obadai, and no other forces are involved, so Tony is relieved.
"After I investigated, I found out that the group of people who captured you was an offshoot of al-Qaeda, numbering in the hundreds. I'm curious, how did you get out and destroy those people? ”
It's been a week since Tony returned, and during that time, he never mentioned his Iron Armor.
Wu Ming now has reason to believe that Tony is guarding against him, so he plans to take a look at Tony, how wary he is.
If Tony tells the truth, it means that Tony still trusts him, but with reservations.
On the other hand, if Tony is hesitant and wants to hide it when asked, it means that everyone is about to part ways.
"You don't know, I was able to escape, it was a complete accident." Tony smiled and spoke, not noticing at all that Wu Ming's gaze was a little colder.
It's been ten years since I met Tony, and we've been friends for ten years.
Unexpectedly, after ten years of friendship, Tony still doesn't really trust himself, and it seems that there are some things that really can't be forced.
"Here, I'll show you something good."
Tony didn't notice Wu Ming's expression, but sneakily took out his mobile phone from his pocket.
Reaching out and clicking twice on the phone, a picture of the steel armor was projected in front of the two of them.
Wu Ming was no stranger to the Iron Battle Armor, but instead of pretending to be a prophet, he pretended to be confused and asked, "What is this?" ”
Tony waved his arms excitedly and explained excitedly, "This is my little toy, didn't you ask, how did I escape?" Look at this, I invented this suit of armor, and after wearing it, I am enough to fight an armored corps. However, this is the Mark Type 2, and the first set of armor is too rough and detracts from my demeanor, and that one can't be shown to others. ”
Tony's steel armor is updated quickly, and some of it is completely the product of a brain hole.
Little Pepper drove the car and said without looking back: "Tony didn't close his eyes for three days and three nights in order to make this suit of armor. He originally wanted to surprise you by wearing the Mark 1 type, but the Mark 1 type is too ugly, and he is a perfectionist person. By the way, it was Tony who asked me to keep it a secret from you, and he wanted to surprise you, like a kid showing off a toy! ”
Hearing the words of the two, Wu Ming finally knew why Tony wanted to hide it.
Playboy who pursues perfection definitely doesn't want to appear in a cave with a shoddy armor.
At first, Wu Ming thought that Stark was already suspicious of him.
Now that I think about it, it's not that Stark noticed anything, it's that the appearance of the Mark 1 is detrimental to its image. No, as soon as the Mark Type 2 armor came out, Tony couldn't wait to take it out to show off, and the word pride was almost written on his face.
"I said, after ten years of friendship, even a stone has been warmed, let alone a temperamental person like Tony. It seems that I am wrong to blame this guy, and before there is a sharp contradiction, this guy should be on my side. Knowing that Tony didn't mean to hide it, Wu Ming also breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, during his decade at Marvel, he invested the most in Tony and basically had no reservations.
If ten years of planning can't get Tony's friendship, he is too a failure to be a man, and he is simply a disgrace to the traverser.
