Chapter 562
What did Tony Stark prepare? This guy is nothing more than cooperating with Lord Man, and can Lord Man pose a threat to Rocky? If it weren't for that time, Rocky would not have been seriously injured, and there was Rocky's own divine power disorder, so he was not defeated by Lord Man, but by his own conceit. Therefore, even if the Manchurian is not dead, it will not be possible to reappear and try to retaliate against Rocky, because he has no idea what kind of height Rocky has reached in these few short months, but the only concern is that no one knows what kind of chemistry will be produced after the cooperation between Tony Stark and the Manchurian, maybe one plus one is far greater than two, or maybe one plus one becomes zero. So, only God knows what will happen to Rocky as he prepares to deal with Tony Stark.
said that it was to deal with Tony Stark, so naturally it was from the business and superhero aspects, first of all, above business.
While Tony Stark's return has improved Stark Industries' stock market situation, it has been preceded by shareholder sell-offs, so much so that Lodge and Pepper have taken the lead in buying nearly one-third of Stark Industries' shares.
Tony Stark actually didn't find out about this situation, because these stocks belong to small retail investors in name, so he didn't bother with it because he didn't think there was any threat, but one thing he didn't know was that these stocks plus Pepper's own shares, her equity was close to Tony Stark, becoming the second largest shareholder of Stark Industries.
In other words, Tony Stark no longer has any right to exploit Pepper, or even have to protect her rights. Pepper, who used to work for Tony Stark, can now be said to have turned into a serf and sings, and he is no longer afraid.
Pepper, who owns the shares, can now hold a board meeting, and even if she buys more shares than Tony Stark herself, she has the right to exclude her from the board of directors, that is, from now on, Stark Industries will become her word.
However, everything needs to be done step by step, and it cannot be achieved overnight, otherwise the foundation will not be solid, and the corners of the wall will inevitably collapse.
So Rocky went to Pepper on the phone and told her what he thought, "Miss Potts, I think now we have the advantage and the initiative, but now is not the best time to give the other party a showdown, so what we have to do is to secretly continue to make acquisitions by those shareholders and shareholders in a row, it is better for you to go out in person, after all, you are the general manager of Stark Industries, and you are very convincing, once we have more shares in our hands than Tony Stark, we can convene a board of directors to expel him." ”
Hearing Rocky's words, Pepper, who used to love Tony Stark so hotly, is now coldly dealing with the matter of competing with him, "Liszt, I can accept your suggestion, but the premise must be to eliminate the other party's influence in Stark Industry." As long as the other party is still Tony Stark, then Stark Industries is still his. Even if I expel him, I can't master the core technology of the industry, so the premise of the expulsion is to get the core technology in my hands, do you understand this sentence? ”
Of course, Rocky understands, after all, Pepper has said this more than once, and almost no one is unmoved by Tony Stark's core technology and Howard Stark's technical research materials. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are the pinnacle of this world's technology, but only Tony Stark can find and use them, which is also his biggest dependence on survival.
"So the top priority is to find a way to take those core technologies into our own hands, otherwise we don't want Tony Stark to quit Stark Industries for a day." Rocky nodded, and began to think about countermeasures in his mind, Tony Stark This guy is undoubtedly a very cunning and treacherous guy, of course, this is a derogatory term, and a positive word is extremely smart, he is indeed smarter than most people in this world, otherwise he would not be the one who became Iron Man, and such a cunning and smart guy, it is undoubtedly very difficult to catch his sore feet and handles. Previously, Rocky had used the monitor to break him up with Pepper, but that's all, Stark Industries lost a single-minded general manager and one of the leaders who tried to seize power. But that didn't hurt Tony Stark. Even the other party just returned to the former playboy appearance after being depressed for a few days, which shows from the side that this guy is actually very selfish, and he also uses more than feelings to accompany you, which is undoubtedly a very sad thing for Pepper, but Pepper is also a free and easy woman, since the other party is not kind, she will not be righteous, so the former lover has now become the object of tearing, and I have to say that the irony is very.
The topic is further away, and continues to return to Tony Stark's character, this guy is undoubtedly very cunning, so if you fight with him, it will really take a lot of effort, but as long as you can get the core technology of Stark Industries, it will be worth the effort.
And the key point of this operation is not actually Tony Stark, but his assistant and artificial intelligence Jarvis.
Who knows AI best? The scientists who made them? Perhaps, but not the people who know best. What really understands them is the artificial intelligence itself, and even the only thing that can invade its main brain is artificial intelligence.
So, Rocky thought of an existent, Hank Pym's invented assistant - Ultron!
"Hey, Hope, I think we can come out and meet, if you're free now...... of course" This was more like a lover's call, and Rocky smiled with a bit of a teasing meaning in it, as if he didn't treat Hope as an outsider anymore.
Hope on the other end of the phone rolled his eyes at Rocky's absence, "Mr. Liszt, I don't have any interest in developing a relationship with you other than the boss and the hire, of course, this is not familiar, as long as you can offer me a price that I like." ”
If Rocky had been serious, Hope would have hung up the phone immediately and never been in touch again. Even a fool knows it's a joke, so Rocky didn't answer at all, "Okay, okay, jokes are jokes, I have something important to look for you." ”
Hope was a little curious about the important things in Rocky's mouth, "If it weren't for the situation of the Time Stone, you'd better not open your mouth, and now for me, I'm only interested in it, so don't talk about off-topic questions." ”
Rocky chuckled, "You're not a professional hire at all!" At the very least, you have to solve the boss's troubles, right? ”
"It was clearly written on our agreement before, only my father has the duty of a hired servant to you, but it does not include me, I have promised to help you once, so you don't want to inch an inch." Hope made a disdainful threat at first, and then changed his tone again, "But if you decide to redraw a contract with me, I won't care about that." ”
It didn't matter what Rocky said, Hope's talent deserved an extra contract, and he also prepared a contract for Ultron.
"Well, if that's what you want to talk about, I think I can grant you what you ask, so how? Is it now possible to sign a contract? I think the negotiations between us are bound to be very pleasant for you. Rocky laughed and teased, but in his tone he was serious, he was indeed quite sincere in signing a contract with Hope, of course, this is not the point.
Hope on the other end of the phone didn't expect Rocky to take her fluttering joke seriously, confused, but also a little inexplicable emotion, Hope, who had never been so sure of his talent, felt that it was so wonderful to be valued for the first time.
After a long silence, Hope finally spoke, "Tell me the time and place, and then wait for me there with your contract." ”
Rocky thought about it, it was still the café he often went to, and after hanging up the phone over there, he smiled inexplicably, "This woman is really not frank enough, but it doesn't matter, time will make a huge change in her, and now it's just the beginning, isn't it?" ”
Dressed in a suit and tie, and looking like a successful person, Rocky likes to wear formal clothes, rarely casual, and occasionally only goes out shopping with Felicia and the others to have the idea of dressing a little roughly, which will make him look more uninhibited.
However, for Rocky, who has not yet made a good impression on Hope, a formal suit with a mature temperament is a must, no matter what age the woman is, it seems that they like this type of man, because serious men are the most temperamental.
Elegant café private room, soothing blues music, a stack of documents on the table, this is specially prepared for Hope to use in the signing of the document, Rocky made a copy of Hank Pym's contract, and then modified a few terms to make the contract more suitable for female scientific talents like Hope, of course, although these terms are suspected of some nonsense, but it is undeniable that HP may not say anything if he sees it, but his heart should undoubtedly be moved, after all, the terms are very close to women.
Not long after, Hope, who was dressed more formally than Rocky, arrived and entered the box under the leadership of the waiter. I'm so busy......"
The so-called busyness in Hope's mouth, Rocky naturally knows, except for the time stone, it can almost be said that he doesn't think twice, and indeed the time stone has been bothering Hope's mind recently, and the power that is not part of the essence of the time stone is extracted, which is very difficult in itself, because the power in it is inseparable from the original power of the time stone, so there is no way to extract it, and the only way is to destroy the original power of the time stone to reorganize the power, However, there is no energy on Earth that can be replenished into the Time Stone, so research is now at an impasse.
Knowing this situation, Rocky could only sigh that he had no part in the Stone of Time, and he couldn't use it even though he got it in his hand, is there anything more depressing than this? But fortunately, during this time, Rocky didn't need to use the Time Stone, so he didn't particularly care about it, and the most important thing for him right now was about the artificial intelligence Jarvis.
However, it is never Rocky's style to be direct, he likes to express it a little more tactfully, so that others feel comfortable, and he himself feels comfortable, so before he mentions his purpose, he usually talks to the other person about other things.
For example, the new contract in front of Hope's eyes has Hope's name written on it.
Flipping through the pages and checking the contents of the new contract, Hope noticed a few clauses that gave special consideration to her female identity, although she didn't say anything, but she was really touched in her heart, it was difficult for anyone to make the contract so humane, and even this didn't look like a contract, but like a preferential policy. After being moved, there was a slight doubt on her face, "I'm curious, are you sure you let me sign this contract?" And not deliberately for the sake of fixing me? As a businessman, you can offer such generous conditions, if you are sincere, I think my impression of a businessman has changed a lot now......"
Rocky raised his eyebrows when he heard this, he could feel Hope's doubts, and he saw him smile and said: "You should know that every contract is protected by law in the United States, and I will not be stupid enough to openly oppose the government." Therefore, you can sign the contract boldly and boldly, if there is a clause that cannot be honored, you can unilaterally terminate the contract, I think the treaty is very clear, isn't it? ”
Rocky said so, if Hope still doesn't sign, it will really be too unkind to the other party, and she is very satisfied with this contract, so she saw that she happily signed her name, but in the process of signing, she suddenly realized something, looked up and asked: "You asked me out today, it won't be such a simple thing as signing a contract, right?" ”
Rocky was stunned when he heard this, and immediately smiled playfully, "To be honest, although I like smart women, they will undoubtedly give people a lot of headaches. ”
The implication is that I do have something to ask you for, but it is better for me to say it myself, so why should you break it?
Seeing Rocky admitting, Hope suddenly put down his pen, put his hands around his chest, and said, "Say, what's the matter?" If you don't say it, I won't dare to sign this contract ......" (to be continued.) )
PS: I'm really drunk, I actually forgot to release it, and I have to waste a leave note......
