1228 Crazy idea, the rat swallows the elephant, it is a monster without choking
Turning to Councilor Straw, who was extremely annoyed but had to smile awkwardly because of the situation, he shouted,
"If you want my skills, maybe I will consider it when I become the chief barrel.
Now," Stark shrugged, "ask the Americans whether they will agree. Ask those companies that also hold core technologies whether they will agree.
Let’s also ask the peace-loving people around the world if they agree.”
With no chance of surpassing William, the Americans' bullying and fearful attitude was immediately revealed.
After Stark finished speaking, someone on the scene shouted in agreement, "Yes, what we want is a protector, not using taxpayers' money to provoke a new round of military equipment competition."
This statement was immediately supported by the vast majority of people, and everyone in the room was in agreement.
And with the support of these people, Stark became even more embarrassed.
Pulling the reluctant William, he raised his scissor-hands towards the reporters who were snapping photos.
Shout, "I am Iron Man, Iron Man is me."
Then he pointed at MPs like Straw and said, "And what will these people do?"
Before anyone at the scene could say anything, Stark said loudly, "They will only use technology on weapons, and then go around the world to provoke various wars."
Then he pointed at William, who had a bright smile on his face but felt very unhappy in his heart, and said, "This will not only push our strongest ally to the opposite side, but
We will also use our money to send our own soldiers to the battlefield to murder other people’s lives.”
Seeing Stark start to speak freely and jump to the topic of war, William immediately put his arm around his shoulders and said,
He whispered, "You are crazy. Not only are you harming the interests of the oil and military industrial groups, but don't forget that the Stark Group is the largest military industrial group."
Stark was stunned and suddenly had a crazy idea in his mind.
He covered his mouth with his hand while laughing, and said in a low voice, "If you want to keep your technology, just make a bigger news to divert everyone's attention.
How about we stop weapons production and sell related industries?"
This time, William was stunned.
Fortunately, this guy said he was selling it instead of shutting it down without collecting a dime.
He smiled nonchalantly and said, "I have no problem here, but you'd better ask Abigail."
"Is this necessary?"
Looking at William with contempt, Stark clapped his hands,
Speaking to reporters, he said, "In order to let the world understand our determination, I have just reached an agreement with William to close and sell the Stark Group's weapons department."
At first, everyone watching the two people whispering thought that there would be some big news.
But no one would have thought that it was the weapons sales department. "Oh my god, is this guy crazy?"
This news will probably be more shocking than what William said.
After all, the Stark Group occupies 40% of the weapons production and sales in the United States.
Justin Hammer, who was waiting in the lounge, waiting to appear in court to stir up trouble, regardless of whether it was his turn to appear or not,
In other words, Justin has understood that it is useless if he does not appear.
It's better to take advantage of Stark and William's presence and be the first to show up to negotiate with them about the acquisition of the Stark Group's weapons department.
Pushing the door open and pushing aside those people who were applauding Stark and William,
He rushed to the two of them and asked excitedly, "How much, how much? I, I will buy it."
The warm applause and shouts at the scene suddenly fell silent.
And William's mouth suddenly showed a smile.
Before entering the venue, after mentally scanning, he knew that Justin was here. When he heard Stark talking about selling the weapons department, he
I just thought that Justin, a short guy, might jump out.
"Oh, oh, who is this?" Stark looked at Justin with a smile, looking expectant and anxious, and joked with a grin, "You can't afford it, man."
"Hahaha", the people around suddenly laughed loudly.
Although Justin's expression was embarrassed, he still said in a positive tone, "No, I can afford it, as long as you are willing to pay."
Now everyone was surprised.
Is this guy so rich?
Stark looked at Justin carefully, but did not see the panic in his eyes.
He was about to say 50 billion to scare Justin, but William smiled and said, "100 billion U.S. dollars, and you must pay in full."
"Up, God".
Ninety-nine percent of the people in front of the TV were holding their hearts or holding their hair with both hands, looking at the smiling William in disbelief.
I couldn’t help but think that Justin was crazy. Could it be that William was also crazy about money?
Then everyone understood that William probably didn't want to sell it to Justin at all.
"I, I, I".
Being watched by William, the former financial backer, and the mastermind behind the killing of Obadiah Stan, who looked down on the Hammer family back then,
Justin's forehead started to sweat within a few seconds.
But this guy probably really had the support of some force. After stammering for a long time, he actually nodded and said, "I want all the weapons technology.
And Stark Group will not be allowed to produce any weapons in the future."
When Stark opened his eyes wide and looked at Justin in disbelief,
William smiled and said, "No, we only promise not to produce weapons for you anymore.
Moreover, we have the right to use the technology and patents for ourselves, and the new technologies and patents derived from them have nothing to do with the Hammer Group."
Isn't this selling something at 100% of the price, but still keeping one hand, so that the buyer only gets half the value?
And regardless of whether it is worth 100 billion, Stark has already said that he will shut down the weapons department.
Even if it is really worth 100 billion, the buyer will only offer 50 billion, or even less.
After all, if no one buys it, the Stark Group's weapons department will be an abandoned department.
And when it came to astronomical amounts of money, Justin immediately put aside his fear of William and retorted, "Well, that's not worth 100 billion U.S. dollars."
William patted Justin on the shoulder, who was a head shorter than him, and said with a smile, "It is indeed not worth that much money, but once it is acquired by you,
Hammer Group can become the largest military industrial group in the world, and the weapons it produces can account for more than five levels of the country's share.
Moreover, the Hammer family will also become qualified to talk to us on an equal footing and discuss cooperation.
We have known each other for so many years and have had some cooperation, you should understand that this is more important than money, right, Justin?"
Justin frowned in confusion at first, and then suddenly an idea flashed in his heart.
He asked excitedly, "You, you mean, can I get orders from Devon Hill Group in the future?"
William shrugged while Justin was looking forward to it, "That's hard to say, because you have to ask Abigail."
After saying that, William stretched out his hand to signal Abigail to come over, smelled her fragrance on her mouth, and then said to Justin, "Man, you have been dealing with Abigail for several years, so you should be very familiar with her.
If you can convince her that it's possible, I'll leave those things that we don't produce ourselves to you.
Even technical support is not impossible."
Justin was immediately elated, and he smiled and saluted Abigail flatteringly.
Then he said to William, "In principle, I agree to US$50 billion, but before starting negotiations, I need to win the support of the board of directors.
How about we negotiate again in a week?"
"No problem, I'm waiting for your news, Justin." William smiled and patted the other party's shoulder again, "I won't disturb you, go back and discuss it with the wise people.
I have to go to the premiere of the first, real holographic projection movie, goodbye, future king of military industry, Mr. Hammer."
"Thank you, thank you." Justin's knees were bent a little by William's words immediately.
As for Straw and other MPs sitting on the high platform, they just looked at William in shock, holding Abigail's hand,
He took Stark and Pepper out of the hearing hall together, got into the car and drove away without anyone saying a word to stop him.
...........
As soon as he got on William's elongated phantom, Stark immediately said to William, who was always holding Abigail's hand,
"Man, do you really think that guy Justin will acquire our weapons department? Where does he have 50 billion US dollars?"
William laughed and said, "It's his business where the money comes from. Anyway, neither of us are interested in ordinary weapons now, right?"
Stark frowned when he didn't get the answer, thinking about checking it out when he got back, and then nodded in agreement with William's words.
He really has no interest in developing ordinary weapons now.
There was already a big gap between him and William, but if he was distracted again now, he felt that he would never catch up with William in his life.
Seeing Stark nodding, William smiled and said, "Shouldn't you first consider how to explain to the other shareholders of Stark Group?"
"What's there to explain?" Stark curled his lips, "You and I made this decision together, how can they object?
And if we really sell for 50 billion US dollars, we will have enough money to build optimized large-scale Ark reactors all over the United States.
When this news is released, the market value of Stark Group will return to its current market value.
Once it really starts operating, the market value will immediately reach a higher point.
And palladium element power generation, although the cost is one or two levels higher than coal or water conservancy,
But by generating electricity directly in big cities, we can not only save a lot of energy loss in long-distance transmission, but also save a lot of infrastructure and maintenance costs.
Even large-scale intelligence can save the most expensive labor costs.
Therefore, I have absolute confidence that Stark Group’s future profits will be several times higher than their current profits.”
William nodded. Six or seven years ago, the Devonshire Group had already used the Ark reactor to generate electricity in England.
Of course he and Abigail knew the specific profits and benefits.
If Americans and other countries had not had too many requirements and concerns about their entry into the market, Devonshire Energy Group would have entered the American and European markets long ago.
However, I think that the share price of Stark Group will definitely fall again for a while.
William smiled and said to Stark, "You have borrowed nearly 15 billion from the bank, and now you should have more than 9 billion, right?"
Stark was taken aback and suddenly wondered why William knew about the loan, and he knew exactly that it was 15 billion U.S. dollars.
