Chapter 100: Genius Sets Off Again (Part II)
"Wait!! You've been planning for me to use this method for a long time??? Then why do you make me read so many books???? ”
Schiller was pressing a headset into Stark's ear, and Stark dodged and said, "It's cheating??? Damn it!! Don't do that!! My ears! I've learned those things and I don't need ......"
"You don't really expect you to learn what I learned from college to Ph.D. in a few nights, do you?"
"You've long thought about directing off-the-spot!! You liar! You told me that if I couldn't learn these things, the Stark Group would be doomed!! ”
"That's just the macro picture, I'm right, you're going to have to learn these things someday, so why can't it be yesterday?" Schiller said.
Despite Stark's dodge, Schiller pressed a headset into one of Stark's ears and said, "Don't make a fuss, I'm just an off-site interpreter, it's common, right?" ”
Steve said next to him: "Actually, those politicians will do this when they talk about things, and behind them is their staff team, including when they are giving some important interviews, they will wear this kind of headphones, of course, this kind of equipment in my time is much more expensive, and it is much rarer, only the most important ones can have ......"
Stark was bitten by a flea, desperately trying to tinker with the earphone stuffed in his ear, and he said, "Holy! Then why did you make the atmosphere so desperate before? They also stuffed me with so many books, I stayed up all night memorizing them all! ”
"That's right, if I don't, you'll never look at them for the rest of your life." Schiller said,
"Okay, forget that for now, but are you sure it works?"
"Damn it...... I should have thought of it sooner! You vampire doctor! If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have used your old headphones, and I would have made a more advanced, whole monitoring system......"

Stark patted his head with great remorse, and said, "I didn't think of it before!" I can do it for you! Can I just be a repeater at the venue, even if I can't, as long as you don't?! ”
Stark was really a little angry, but he wasn't angry with Schiller, but angry at why he didn't turn the corner.
Of course, this is also to blame for Schiller, he was very anxious when he came to Schiller to find a solution, and Schiller used a very serious attitude and tone, and used words to make Stark fall into a circle of thinking, thinking that it was abnormal that he would not know these things.
That is, Stark ignores mundane affairs all day long, otherwise he will know that Obadiah also has a whole think tank behind him, and the entire Stark industry cannot be determined by Obadiah alone.
Stark is a rich man, it doesn't matter if he doesn't know these things, as long as he has money and some people who can do it, if he used this whole day to hire staff, he would have formed a dream team by now.
But Schiller's misleading made him feel that he was paying the price for his former willfulness, so he did not consider that he still had the ability to make money and the ability to do scientific research.
If nothing else, even if he writes an AI expression analysis system, it may be much faster than his own endorsement.
"Is this psychology?! You liar!! Stark gritted his teeth and said, "Do you study psychology just to put people in this kind of predicament, and then pay you a lot of money for treatment?!! ”
"Don't call me like an unscrupulous quack."
"Aren't you an unscrupulous quack?"
"It's a bit unscrupulous, but it's definitely not a quack."
"Mr. Stark, the car has arrived." "The meeting will officially start at 10:30 and you are expected to arrive at 10:20," Jarvis reminded. ”
"Okay, okay, so be it." Stark still looked a little nervous: "That's all it can be." ”
Schiller patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, when you arrive, you'll find out that you're not different." ”
Stark got into the car and arrived at the negotiation venue in a short time, he arrived late, and most of the people here were already seated.
Stark glanced at it and saw that almost all of them were wearing headphones, and some of them were blatantly holding computers for video calls, and on the other end of the computer was a large group of people sitting at the conference table, as if it were another small conference room.
Stark said to Jarvis, "Deduct Schiller's fee...... All deducted!!! Don't let me see his name on the year-end financial report!! This damn bastard fooled me!!! ”
"The headphones have been on for thirteen minutes," Jarvis said. ”
Schiller's voice sounded in Stark's ears: "It's okay, of course you can deduct the previous consultation fee, but this kind of political consulting service also has to be paid, and the price is $200,000 a minute......"
"Shit, you vampire doctor!"
"If you don't agree, I'll hang up immediately."
"Don't! No, no, no...... Wait, I think we can still talk, $200,000 is too expensive, but don't hang up the phone yet, the negotiations are about to start, what do you want me to say? ”
On the other side, in the psychiatric clinic, Peter and Steve were both sitting at the table listening to Stark's anxious voice, Steve was quite gloating, but Peter was a little unbearable, he said, "It seems a little too expensive, doctor, I think we can make it cheaper......"
"You're also Stark's staff team now, and we'll split half of the money when the money arrives."
Before Peter could continue to say anything, Stark's voice came from the other end again: "Hey? Feed? Negotiations are about to start, what should I do? ”
"You don't have to do anything, just wait, in fact, you can completely wander for the first 30 minutes, and you don't have to listen to what they say."
"Is this really going to work?" Clearly, Stark was in a state of high tension, and for the first time he was seriously involved in such an occasion, he always felt that he should do something immediately to show results.
"Trust me, just stay there."
After that, Stark sat there in disbelief, and soon realized that Schiller's words made perfect sense, because the first person to speak was actually talking about it from the beginning of World War II.
The military representatives began to recall their glorious years from the Pearl Harbor incident, and before 20 minutes, Stark was already sleepy, and the spokesman sent by the military was stunned to be able to tell all kinds of classic battles like a running account, and when he boasted about the military's exploits and resumes, he always had such a set of great and righteous words.
No one could listen to this kind of speech for 10 minutes, and by the end of the first round of military speeches, most of the people were drowsy.
Next up to the stage was the S.H.I.E.L.D. representative, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Stark wanted to faint immediately, because he started with the Iron Curtain speech.
S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are a little better than the military representatives, and they know a lot about all kinds of intelligence warfare and the history of secret service organizations, but Stark thinks that he is here to participate in negotiations, not to study modern history.
About 40 minutes later, it was Stark's turn to speak, and Schiller said, "Open the first manuscript, read it, and finish it." ”
Stark's eyes darkened as soon as he opened the manuscript, because it was about the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.
He read it for a full 20 minutes before he finally stumbled over the manuscript, and when he was done, he turned on his headphones and said, "Oh my God, this is the first time I've learned the history of Stark Industries in its entirety......
What made Stark despair was that this was not over, and then, starting with the military, they began to talk about the evolution of the future army organization, the direction of future weapons systems, and the possibility of a third world war, and talked about it for another 20 minutes.
The agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. come up the same, open their mouths and close their mouths is the importance of the secret service organization independent of the surveillance system, the development of individual combat and intelligence information warfare in the future, and the path to the establishment of a global intelligence system......
Stark whispered into the headset and said, "I ask for half of the consultation fee for this part, which has no practical meaning at all, it is completely different from what I thought......"
"What would you think?" Schiller's voice came through the headphones, "Conspiracy theories in a gloomy room? ”
"The most important thing you have to know is that this kind of negotiation is just a formality." Schiller said.
"Everyone knows what chips the other side has, everyone knows what they have, and the outcome of this negotiation is already doomed from the beginning, in fact, even if you are a weird guy like before, don't think about anything, don't listen to anything, the result will not change."
It feels even more ridiculous than having Stark learn the theory, as if you learn all sorts of bells and whistles and all it takes to take down an enemy with one punch in the end.
Then, when it was Stark's turn to imagine the future, he had learned to close his eyes and read the manuscript, even if what was written on it about the direction of the mechanical industry seemed to him to be completely bullshit.
The manuscript was a combination of nouns and words that sounded lofty, like a tech hustler, but Stark turned off his brain and read the manuscript without waves.
Then it was time for the guests and the host to enjoy themselves, and one of the old generals with gray hair said to Stark: "I remember the glory days of Stark's industry, you Stark were a group of geniuses, your father was, and you were too, at that time the suspension car he studied was amazing, but you also know that the military did not cooperate with him out of some conservative needs, and we are really sorry......"
Before Stark could answer, Schiller said in the earphones: "He's scolding your dad for what he can't do, scolding you for not being as good as your dad, scolding back." ”
Stark was stunned for a moment, and then learned from Schillerkiri's words: "Indeed, I believe that most of the people in the military, such as honorable generals like you, have a long-term vision, but the current era is developing too fast......"
At this time, Nick Fury, who was sitting at the very end of the negotiation table, said: "In a large-scale army landing battle, ordinary weapons still have some role, although mecha can significantly improve the ability of individual combat, but in group operations, adaptability also needs to be considered......
Schiller's voice came from the headphones: "He's handing you steps to ease the atmosphere of the negotiation, and you can smile back at him." ”
Then Stark smiled at Nick, and Nick got goosebumps from laughing at him, and he thought Stark was very weird today, really weird.
Both the military and S.H.I.E.L.D. noticed that something was wrong with Stark, so they cut to the chase earlier than ever.
Then Stark found that the main topic of the negotiation took up less than one-tenth of the entire negotiation time.
First of all, Nick Fury pointed out the fact that the military may have kidnapped Dr. Connors, and the military bit back and said that it was directed and acted by S.H.I.E.L.D., and the two sides pulled each other, and finally the military lost a little, stating that it would question some officers who might have acted aggressively.
Listening to their argument, Stark asked Schiller in his ear, "They really don't know that we hid Connors?" ”
"The military may not be, but Nick definitely knows, he just needs this attitude to show that we should come together against the military, he has already stated this to me before, you can rest assured that you can take ......"
Next, Stark and S.H.I.E.L.D. joined forces, and the military was a little powerless to parry, after all, they had a lot of chips in their hands, such as the body of the red iguana, the cure serum that Connors might develop, some evidence in the possession of S.H.I.E.L.D., the mecha delivered to the military by Stark Industries, and so on.
In short, the negotiation ended on a very fast-paced, grotesque ending, and everything turned out just as Schiller had begun to expect.
The military launched a faction of Tartu officers led by Robert, who were purged, and then the account was written off, and the military and S.H.I.E.L.D. joined forces to fabricate losses and demand an increase in military spending.
Stark Industries will establish a stable cooperation system with the military and S.H.I.E.L.D. at the same time, provide some auxiliary individual armor exoskeletons, and restart medical research projects, and will account for a larger part of the results.
Stark, who returned to the psychiatric clinic, pulled off the headset and said angrily, "You damn bastard doctor......"
Before he could finish speaking, a voice came from behind him: "You damn bastard!! Stark ......"
Stark turned, Pepper ran in angrily, her eyes were full of tears, Stark hugged her, and he heard Pepper's heart beat fast.
Pepper said, "I went to look for you in the morning, and you were gone!" I didn't even wear a mech! I asked Jarvis and he didn't say anything, I thought something had happened to you! You're scaring me to death, you bastard......"
Stark hugged Pepper tightly and whispered comfort to her.
The dimly lit room was filled with only Pepper's whispered sobs and Stark's somewhat muffled bass.
The path of genius is always destined to be more difficult than others, and the sensitive heart of the genius Stark is always more tormented than ordinary people.
But at least, the chick who had just been about to leave the nest, when he was flying staggering in the cold wind, still had branches willing to let him settle down.
He saw Peter, who was smiling and waving at him from behind the hallway, and Schiller and Steve, who were also standing there.
He saw the TV in the living room of the clinic flicker suddenly, and a smiling face made of symbols appeared on the screen.
He thought, Stark, you're a genius.
Not only the brightest genius in the world, but also the luckiest genius in the world.
