Then Dufresne took out another document: "Grand Lord, I have made a preliminary plan for the arrangement of this hundred million US dollars. You can also take a look."
Rowe looked at his plan: "Who runs this 'Buffett Partners'?"
"Warren Buffett." Dufresne thought for a moment, "He is a newcomer to the business world who has only emerged in recent years. He established Buffett Partners two years ago. I think this company has good potential, so I plan to invest in two
Millions of dollars.”
"Change it to 20 million." Luo Wei said.
Dufresne was stunned for a moment, but in the end he did not express any doubts and just nodded: "Yes."
Luo Wei noticed several familiar names in the plan, all of which are companies that will be well-known in the future but have just started, such as Wal-Mart, Pim Technology, Trump Real Estate, etc... I have to admit that Dufresne's business vision is
Still very sharp.
But obviously, no matter how sharp the business vision is, it can't compare to the foreboding. Therefore, Rowe specially gave instructions to these companies and asked Dufresne to significantly increase the investment amount.
The increased quotas of several companies added up, and most of the funds were squeezed out at once. This made Dufresne frown and said hesitantly: "With all due respect, Great Lord, these companies do not seem worth investing so much."
There are many funds, especially Trump's company, and its development potential is actually average in my opinion."
"It doesn't matter, just do as I say." Luo Wei had no intention of explaining.
Dufresne had no choice but to say: "Yes."
Although he is somewhat reluctant now, in fact, only a few years later, he realized the huge value of these adjustments, so much so that he had to wonder whether Rowe worked part-time as the God of Business Investment in Asgard... Of course
This is a story for later.
With the adjusted investment plan in hand, Dufresne went to New York again to form the "Golden Hands Investment Company" and officially began his career as a merchant knight.
On the other side, at Stark Industries.
Because of the Russian gang incident, the relationship between Anton Vanko and Howard Stark suddenly became estranged. They were once talented scientists who cherished each other and confidants who talked about everything, but now they can't say a few words when they meet.
To make matters worse, Artem Ivanov was a talkative guy. When he first contacted Anton Vanke, he showed off to some people in a subtle way.
Soon after, there were rumors that Stark Industries was colluding with the Russian gang. Although there was no definite news or evidence, it still caused a certain blow to Stark Industries.
As a defected Soviet scientist, Anton Vanko is the first person anyone would suspect.
In the end, under the accountability of the company's board of directors, Anton Vanke was kicked out of the decision-making level and became a pure technical expert.
This further chilled the relationship between him and Howard, to the point where it was almost broken. On weekdays, they would not say a word even if they met unless necessary.
The company's accountability and the alienation of friends left Anton Vanke to focus solely on the Ark reactor project.
Later, he even moved his bed to the company's laboratory, where he could live in the laboratory for several weeks, studying energy stones and improving reactor plans day and night.
The results brought by this almost crazy attitude are very remarkable. Coupled with the reference of the Nenshia Source Stone, the Ark Reactor, a plan that transcends the times, is advancing at an alarming speed.
"It should be OK this time..."
In the laboratory, Anton Vanke murmured.
At this time, he was disheveled and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked almost like a homeless man, but he could not hide the expectant light in his eyes.
A large annular reactor is displayed in the spacious laboratory. This is the test machine of Stark Industries' greatest project, the "Ark Reactor." The name can give a glimpse of people's high hopes.
Of course, compared to the ultimately perfect Ark Reactor envisioned, the current Ark Reactor is still just a prototype, and it cannot be compared with the miniaturized Shia energy stone.
But no matter what, it has at least turned from an idea into a reality.
As long as this prototype reactor can be successfully operated and maintained stable for a long time, Stark Industries will have promoted the process of human history, enough to leave a mark in history.
Anton Vanke calibrated the parameters of the reactor, then took a deep breath and pressed the start switch.
"Buzz——"
A vibrating sound similar to that of a washing machine came from the Ark reactor, and then a blue light quickly lit up along the ring of the reactor.
At the beginning, the blue light seemed a little unstable, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, but with Anton Vanke's fine-tuning, these beautiful arcs of light quickly stabilized, making the entire laboratory glow blue.
A minute passed and the Ark reactor was operating stably.
Five minutes passed, and the Ark reactor was running stably...then ten minutes, half an hour, and two hours.
Watching the time displayed on the timer continue to lengthen while the reactor remained stable, Anton Vanke was trembling with excitement and his face turned red: "Success, the reactor can finally run! I finally did it!"
Although the reactor in front of him is still just a prototype, there is no doubt that a door to a bright future has been opened to him.
Without any surprise, Stark Industries held a special press conference to announce the preliminary results of the Ark reactor plan to the outside world. This blockbuster news immediately attracted the attention of the world.
Newspaper headlines for several days discussed the Ark reactor, and Stark Industries' stock price soared to unprecedented heights.
As its founder, Howard Stark has instantly become the most dazzling genius and billionaire in the world, the embodiment of technology and capital.
However, this series of honors has nothing to do with Anton Vanke, and people have almost forgotten this scientist who defected from the Soviet Union.
Most people who remember him only mention the rumors about him and the Russian gang.
"Stark." Anton Vanke came to Howard's office, holding a page of documents in his hand, and seemed a little excited.
Old Stark frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"
"Why is my name at the bottom of the list?" Anton Vanke pointed to the document in his hand and looked directly at Old Stark.
Old Stark was silent for two seconds: "This is the decision of the board of directors... As for the reason, I think you should know."
"But I am the one who really created the Ark Reactor! I lived in the laboratory for two months without going home, and it was I who started the reactor for the first time!" Anton Vanke spoke quickly and breathed heavily.
"Tell me, Stark, who was the creator of the Ark Reactor?"
Old Stark: "The Ark Reactor is the result of the team. Of course, you did make the most contribution."
"But you put me last, stole and divided up the honor that should belong to me!" Anton Vanke's spittle sprayed on Howard's face.
Old Stark: "The company has given you the highest bonus."
"I don't need any bullshit bonus!" Anton Vanke slammed the table angrily.
"I want my name first. I created the Ark Reactor, not you!"
