Chapter 294: Xingshi Asks for Guilt?
Rocky plays Natasha, and Tony returns to New York after being missing for a week, returning on the day he 'predicted'. And, the famous playboy seems to have changed a little, at least not as much as he used to be.
This has led to speculation from the outside world, and they are all thinking, Tony? What happened to Stark to become the person he is now?
However, only a few people know about all this, and Rocky is one of them. Of course, Rocky has become a very annoying presence for Tony, because when he returns to his family business, he is annoyed to be told that his shares have been exchanged for a stock that is "in the limelight" but has a lot of strength.
"You are making a claim to exchange my shares without any of my consent? Who gave you this right? ”
Facing Stark, who returned safely, Natasha was not happy, and her face ushered in a scolding. To tell the truth, no matter who this matter is put on, it will be angry, and now this matter is equivalent to taking a piece of jade for an ordinary stone, and no one is willing to do this kind of transaction.
"I'm sorry for what I did, but his conditions are something I can't refuse." Natasha couldn't help but defend herself, she didn't want to be kicked out by Tony before she had access to advanced Stark Industrial technology.
"On what terms?" Tony frowned, wondering what had happened to make Natasha make such a stupid decision.
"He made a bet with me that you wouldn't be able to come back in another week, and predicted a crash in Stark Industries. And it's true, within a week of your disappearance, Stark Industries' stock plummeted. ”
Knowing this from Natasha's mouth, Tony suddenly became interested in Rocky. Of course, there is still a hint of suspicion. He had been wondering who had planned his kidnapping and asking for dangerous weapons, and now it seemed that the person who knew the clue might be the Rocky in Natasha's mouth? Azazler.
"Interesting, I think I should find a time to meet this new Stark Industries antique." Tonymo rubbed his chin and looked playful.
It seems that Tony would look for his own Rocky after quitting his job as a stockbroker. So I changed to a place to live.
A simple duplex building, very simple and not at all luxurious, very different from the flamboyant personality he once had.
It's good to learn to be introverted, and Rocky's previous attitude was that he would rather be broken than be complete. It is easy to go to extremes in doing things, and now his mentality seems to have changed significantly, and he lives an ordinary life, not in a hurry. Not arrogant or impatient, cautious, step by step. Learning to be restrained is a good thing, even if he has been a god for an unknown number of years.
Decorating the new home, Rocky is thinking about Tony's appearance at the moment, I believe it will be an angry look, right? No, it's also possible that after learning about the bet from Natasha's mouth, she will look at herself with suspicion.
Come to think of it. Rocky shook his head, even though he told Tony. Whoever kidnapped him, I'm afraid he doesn't have the ability to deal with that powerful enemy now. And who can understand the level of complexity involved? Obadiah appeared, just like the first enemy of Iron Man in the cinematic universe, because he was the vice chairman of Stark Industries. And this guy is not clear with Lord Man, and maybe there may be some other factors in it. As a result, the whole world is filled with a sense of intricacies. The more you learn about this world, the more curious you are about what this world is all about.
It's like Rocky breathed a sigh of relief after tidying up his room, and just turned on the TV and saw an entertainment news.
'With Tony? Stark's famous business playboy Bruce? Wayne recently said he would introduce a new energy technology ......
Hear the name. Seeing the handsome chestnut-haired young man, Rocky couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, he had used the name of Batman in the Overworld, and this scene in front of him was like a silent irony to him.
Frowning for a long time, Rocky couldn't help laughing, he had already discarded the name of Batman, and now that he had appeared, it was naturally time to return this name to others.
Rocky suddenly wanted to meet this Bruce? Wayne doesn't know if he's stepped into the realm of bats now. Just waiting for him to think about Bruce? While Wayne was doing something, the phone in his hand suddenly rang.
"Hey, hello, this is Rocky? Azazler, who are you looking for? ”
After hearing Rocky's voice on the other end of the phone, he couldn't help but let out a chuckle, and then heard Tony's trademark flirtatious voice come out, "Mr. Rocky, I think you are now a shareholder of Stark Industries, and we need to have a good talk." ”
Rocky was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Although I expected you to call me, I didn't expect you to be so impatient. ”
"You know, people like us are very timing-conscious." Tony playfully said, "So, at three o'clock in the afternoon, at the White Champagne Cafe in Manhattan, remember to be on time?" ”
With that, he hung up, seemingly intending not to give Rocky the slightest chance to refuse.
Rocky hung up the phone with a smile, looked at the time on his watch, got up and removed the clothes from the hanger, and left his new home. Although he doesn't really want to see Tony for the time being, it will be a matter of time before this side is done.
When Rocky arrives at the café, he sees Tony, with his trademark beard, holding a coffee with a nonchalant expression. He ignored the gaze around him, and looked intently at the door of the café, as if the only thing that could be seen in his eyes was the new guests, which undoubtedly made people realize his invisible arrogance.
"It's exactly three o'clock, and it's on time." Rocky looked at the watch in his hand in front of Tony, and then pulled out the stool and sat down with a smile on his face, "I think Mr. Stark came to talk to me about more than just shares, right?" ”
"Of course! I like to talk to smart people, and if you're interested in selling your shares, then I'll buy it for double the price. Tony's opening up was double the price, which sounded tempting, but it was based on the fact that Stark Industries' stock had not recovered at the moment. That's why he's so generous.
"Mr. Stark, everyone is a businessman, you don't need to say too much if you are full of water, right?" Rocky shrugged his shoulders, called the waiter to order a latte, turned his head to look at Tony, who was frowning because of this sentence, and smiled: "Now Stark Industries, you have 145% of the shares, Obadia has 20% of the shares, and I have 25% of the shares, plus other scattered shares." You have an absolute controlling stake, but you're afraid that Obadiah will buy a stake and have an absolute controlling stake, so you say you'll pay twice the price. But what I want to tell you, you don't have to worry about that at all. First of all, my stake will not be sold. Because even a fool understands what the future of Stark Industries is. Secondly, my current stake has risen to 30 percent technically, and it will probably continue to rise after tomorrow until it becomes 35 percent. ”
Hearing this sentence that meant the birth of the second largest shareholder of Stark Industries, Tony couldn't help but look stunned, "You bought the bulk shares of those stubborn guys?" I'm so curious how you did it......"
Seeing Tony's shocked expression, Rocky picked up the coffee and smacked it lightly, and said with a light smile: "The process is not important, the important thing is the result." ”
"Well, Mr. Rocky, I used to admire my father, but now I have to say, I admire you. Quietly taking advantage of the time I was missing and almost making the entire Stark Industries change hands, what a good means! Tony said something that seemed to be complimentary, with a seemingly indifferent, but actually somewhat mocking expression on his face, and said, "Like you said, you want results." So now I want to ask the question, why is Mr. Lodge so well aware of the timing of my disappearance? ”
When he asked this, Tony's expression was already extremely cold, as if he had recognized it as Rocky.
Seeing Tony's appearance like this, Rocky's face remained unchanged, and he picked up the coffee cup without the slightest pause, took a sip slowly, and said, "If it were me, I wouldn't let you come back alive." ”
Hearing these profound words, Tony's face couldn't help but sink, "You really know something." ”
Rocky shrugged his shoulders and said with a nonchalant expression, "What's the matter with me?" ”
"If you know something, please tell me!" Tony took a deep breath and said solemnly.
Seeing that Tony's face was no longer frivolous, and a trace of expectation and hope flashed in his eyes, this couldn't help but make Rocky raise his eyebrows, "Mr. Stark, you probably guessed it, so why bother me with something?" ”
Tony was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head with a wry smile, "Is that really the case......"
"Maybe it is or maybe not, who knows?" Rocky said, got up slowly, took out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket and put it on the table, "This cup of coffee is considered to be my invitation to you, I hope to talk again next time." ”
Watching Rocky's back slowly walking out of the café, Tony's face couldn't help but be gloomy, and then he looked puzzled again. He guessed some facts, but was a little confused about the mysterious Rocky.
'What the hell is this guy, and why does he give me the feeling that he knows everything?' ’
Rocky does know everything, but only if Tony is there. After leaving the café, he flagged down a taxi, and just as he was about to open the door, one of them rushed in.
Rocky was stunned, and immediately looked in surprise at the side face that was as delicate as a fox and as charming and soft as a cat when the car door was closed. (To be continued.) )
