7. Stark's press conference
"Shut down the weapons manufacturing division of Stark Industries? Can it really be as simple as you think? Tan Daoyi looked at the live broadcast of the press conference held by Tony Stark on the screen, and said to himself with a faint smile, with a special meaning in his tone.
"Master, if Stark Industries closes its weapons manufacturing department, the stock price will definitely fall sharply, are we going to sell all the shares in our hands now?" Izzy looked at the press conference on the screen, her eyes blinking.
Tan Daoyi smiled mysteriously and waved his hand: "No need, when the stock of Stark Group falls to the lowest, the Dream Group can continue to buy." ”
"Understood." Although Izzy didn't know the reason, since Tan Daoyi said so, he must have been confident, and he just needed to do it.
Although Tan Daoyi's Dream Group is rich enough, there is nothing wrong with being able to make a lot of extra money effortlessly.
Although the money itself does not have much significance for Tan Daoyi, it can be used for the development of the Dream Game Group, so that the developed games can be more promoted, and the soil for the growth of the Collapse Virus will be broader.
Moreover, in the United States of America, if you have enough money, most of the things will not be a problem, and basically all the troubles can be solved with capital.
…………………………
Tony Stark disappeared for weeks after being attacked by terrorists in the Middle East, and everyone thought there was little hope of his survival.
He used his extraordinary talents to create a miniature ark reactor and the first steel suit in a very rudimentary environment in the cave where the terrorists were imprisoned, and escaped from the terrorist base with the help of Ethan, the doctor who saved his life.
However, Ethan also died under the guns of terrorists in order to delay time for Tony Stark, and Ethan's death was also an important turning point in Tony Stark's thinking.
I have to say that although Tony Stark is arrogant, poisonous and willful, he likes to tease and make things difficult for others, making it very unbearable for ordinary people to get along with him, so there are few real friends.
But maybe there are very few friends around you who can really deliver, so they attach great importance to the friends they approve and attach great importance to feelings.
Whether it is Colonel Rhodes of the Air Force who is the liaison between the military, Happi, who is the driver and bodyguard, or Pei Po, the secretary, they all attach great importance to it.
Although all kinds of jokes are indispensable, they are actually more similar to jokes between friends.
Whether it is directly handing over the Stark company of Nuoda to the management of Pepper Peipo without reservation.
Or when he thought that his time was running out due to palladium poisoning, he unlocked the system, let Rod wear the steel suit MK2, and let Rod bring the steel suit back to the military.
Or in the desperate virus incident, because Harpy was seriously injured during the investigation, he directly provoked the mastermind behind the terrorist attack in front of the screen, and did not hesitate to directly expose his own address.
All show the importance Tony attaches to the friends he recognizes.
And Ethan is also a friend recognized by him, the two of them are in trouble together in the terrorist base, facing a life-and-death crisis together, and the trust and relationship established are beyond the ordinary, not to mention that Ethan still died for Tony.
Ethan's death was extremely stimulating to Tony Stark, and it can be said that it directly contributed to Tony's change in mentality.
So after returning to the United States, Tony did not have the slightest rest, and directly held a press conference, and once again made a jaw-dropping move to the world.
Although he often did some unexpected behaviors in the past, it was more manifested in his private life and talked about romantic affairs.
For example, at various awards parties, ignoring the precious awards that others can't ask for, just ignoring them, releasing everyone's pigeons, and running to the casino to play dice with beautiful women.
But as soon as he came back this time, the news announced at the press conference was fundamentally different from the past.
At the press conference, Tony Stark sat casually on the steps before the podium with a half-bitten burger in his hand, and announced the complete closure of the group's weapons manufacturing department in the name of the president of the Stark Group.
As soon as the words came out, it immediately caused an uproar, and the reporters present immediately began to ask questions.
You must know that Stark Industries is the largest military industrial group in the United States of America, and the military manufacturing sector is also the core pillar industry of Stark Industries.
Tony suddenly made such a decision without warning, a group dominated by the military-industrial complex suddenly announced that it would no longer produce weapons, can you imagine how much impact it will have within the group?
What kind of turmoil will be caused in the entire United States of America if the largest and most advanced arms manufacturing industry group in the country has ceased to manufacture weapons?
In the short period of time after the press conference, Stark Group's stock, which had recovered due to Tony's return, fell again into a cliff trend.
Whether it is the outside world or within the group, there is a voice of opposition to the decline of the voice, a company that focuses on the military industry, but has given up military manufacturing, what else is left?
Tony Stark himself, after announcing the news, stayed in his villa and tried his best to perfect the Iron Man armor he designed, which made the outside world talk about it and panic within Stark Industries.
When Tony Stark forgot to sleep and eat, he didn't listen to what was going on outside the window to complete the improvement of the performance of the Mark model, and after transitioning from the Mark 2 to the finished version of the Mark 3 model, he finally went out again.
However, after a banquet, it was learned from the reporter blocking the road that after announcing the closure of the weapons manufacturing department, the Stark Group was still selling and producing weapons.
Tony immediately went to question Obadia, who had been in charge of the company since his disappearance.
However, he was told that Obadiah, who he regarded as an uncle and had always been a kind elder, had been removed from his position as president of the group by the members of the board of directors of the group.
"Tony, I'm doing this to protect you and for the good of the group.
You just gave up the weapons manufacturing department so casually, have you ever thought about what will happen to the Stark Group, if there is not enough income, the Stark Group will probably not be able to survive.
I can't afford to watch the Stark Group, which I've worked so hard all my life, face the danger of going out of business, and I don't think Howard wants that day either.
After announcing the news, you have been hiding at home and not coming out, not caring about anything.
Stark Industries is the brainchild of your father and me, and we can't let it be shattered by your whimsical willfulness. ”
Obadiah didn't want to tear his face with Tony directly, and said earnestly that everything he did was from the perspective of an elder, for Stark's company.
However, at this time, Obadiah was ecstatic in his heart, but he didn't expect that since Tony whimsically wanted to close the weapons manufacturing department of Stark Industries, this was not equivalent to directly cutting off one of the group's arms?
Originally, I thought that Tony would return safely and that he would miss out on the position of president of Stark Industries, but as soon as Tony came out like this, the members of the board of directors would definitely not support Tony Stark for the sake of profit.
I can take this opportunity to take over the control of Stark Industries, and then find a way to get rid of Tony in the future, and Stark Industries will belong to me in the future.
No, there will be no Stark Industries anymore, only Stanley Industries, Obadiah Stanley's Stanley Industries Group.
After bidding farewell to Tony, Obadiah smiled and began to fantasize about himself at the helm of the entire Stark Industries Group in the future.
Tony Stark, though arrogant, unsightly, and self-centered, is also extremely intelligent, and when he learns what Obadiah has done, he immediately becomes suspicious of this uncle, who has been watching him grow up.
On the surface, although he was quiet, he had already made up his mind to investigate this old guy well.
He then asks his right-hand secretary, Pepper Pepper, to investigate Obadiah to see if he can gather evidence of his misdeeds.
Although Pepper Pepper's thrilling success was proven against Obadiah, Obadiah immediately realized that his plot had been revealed after Pepper left with his front foot.
