1229 Generosity of others, 100 meters Zhenjin spaceship (9000 completed)
I felt Stark's heartbeat. After I told him that he knew that he had loaned 15 billion US dollars, it suddenly accelerated, and sweat started to form on my forehead and back.
William deliberately waited for a while and saw Stark's expression as if he wanted to ask but didn't know how to ask.
Only then explained with a smile, "Don't worry, I didn't check you specifically. It's just that when we repurchased shares last time, other shareholders took out more or less loans.
Just you guy, without saying a word, easily took out five to six billion US dollars, which makes it impossible for people not to check it out."
Stark recalled that when he signed the contract, he seemed to be too straightforward, and then he and Pepper breathed a sigh of relief.
As for why William was able to find out, since he had Jarvis, he had no doubt that Sunday, who was much more advanced than Jarvis, could not do this.
Putting aside his suspicions, Stark thought for a while and said, "You are worried that I will acquire shares again.
Not only will it arouse the suspicion of other shareholders, but it may also lead to turmoil in the group due to low-price acquisitions and the sale of the weapons department, leading to investigations initiated by opponents?"
William nodded, "If your competitors are looking for trouble, I think you can handle it. After all, whether it's ordinary people in the United States or companies that consume huge amounts of electricity,
Even in the long run, reducing costs can improve the competitiveness of the entire country.
As long as you are not a fool, most people will support you.
What I'm worried about are the shareholders. After all, the decisions we both make are entirely for our own consideration.
And I don't care whether you control the Stark Group, because this money is not essential to me.
But for other shareholders, the wealth of those shares is at least half of their worth.
They will fight whoever makes a move, so you'd better find them now and give them a specific time to enter the energy industry."
"Tony, I think Mr. Devonshire is right."
Pepper took Stark's arm and said, "After all, it doesn't take long for them to borrow money to repurchase shares.
Once the stock price plummets, these people may be under the pressure of repayment and be forced to make some irrational decisions.
If we want to truly enter the energy industry, there will be a lot of trouble, and we must reach an agreement with shareholders."
Stark himself has a deep understanding of the issue of repayment pressure.
A total of 15 billion U.S. dollars of loans made him think about waiting for 50 billion U.S. dollars to arrive.
Should I distribute half of the funds as dividends first?
If he uses the approximately 7.5 billion allocated to him to repay half of the loan, his life will be much easier in the future.
Even if you only need to reserve 5 billion funds to build a few power stations, there will be people rushing to buy shares.
After all, Devonshire Group's energy company in England is the best example.
As for the two-tiered capital gains tax, as well as other tax issues, Stark feels pain just thinking about it.
Turning his head to Pepper, he said, "Okay, in the name of William and I, invite these guys to watch the movie."
William just smiled and didn't care when Stark used his name indiscriminately. Instead, he was happy to see that whenever he was in trouble, he would look for him habitually.
Doesn't this mean that Stark already feels that he is inferior to William and needs William's support on many issues?
But Abigail was probably influenced by Jesse and Nyssa, and felt that Stark was indeed taking advantage of her man.
Feeling unhappy, I couldn't help but tighten my grip on William's hand.
Feeling this, William shook his head with a smile, and then said to Pepper, "There may be some safety issues in the future.
I'm not worried about Stark, because if I kill him directly, I will be the one who benefits in the end.
Although many Americans have brain problems, they are not generally active in preventing others from being surpassed.
But this is not necessarily the case for you, Stark’s new girlfriend.”
After saying that, William had a thought and took what he had prepared for his mother Lina.
Use the second-generation Ark Reactor's Mark 5 backup armor to teleport to the trunk of the car.
Then, under the gaze of Stark, who was frowning, and Pepper, who was surprised and frightened, he knocked on the roof of the car.
The phantom car transformed from the twelve Transformers Guardian Knights automatically delivers the portable Mark 5 to William.
Looking at it, Stark envied the car and frowned even deeper.
In fact, the Mark 5 in William's hand is very similar to the Mark 5 he made while staying at the beach villa some time ago. Except for the different color, other aspects are very similar.
After William handed the Chili Pepper armor with trembling hands, he pretended to be confused, looked at Stark and said,
"What, don't tell me, you did this too?"
"No, no", Stark immediately wanted to deny it, but he thought that although William said that most Americans would not secretly mess with him,
But who knows if a lunatic will appear, and if he enters the energy industry and competes with others for profits, he will definitely encounter safety problems.
After thinking about it, Pepper probably had bad thoughts, but he was not stupid enough to say directly that he had already figured out the Mark 5.
Instead, he said helplessly, "After putting on your heavy Mark 7 armor, while also studying the heavy armor,
I have been thinking recently about how to build a portable armor like this armor.
We even have a specific plan, and we’re just waiting for the hearing to take some time to solve the appearance problems, and then build two units as backup.”
Pepper had no doubts about this. After all, she had met Stark and had been doing research in the beachside villa laboratory.
And hearing that Stark was willing to give her a set immediately made her feel like drinking honey.
Even if I have doubts, I deliberately ignore the doubts in my heart.
But Abigail's disbelieving look made Stark feel helpless.
Everyone knows that besides his mother, William values Abigail the most.
After witnessing William's relationship with him through Pepper Potts, Stark would be really a fool if he didn't know how to defend Abigail's opinion of him.
"Jarvis, help me build a Mark 5. The color should be dark red and the original color of titanium alloy."
After instructing Jarvis to waste money on building another set, Stark said to William, "If you have time, help see the difference in what we built."
William shook his head, "Besides, since you can create an upgraded version of the Mark 4 armor in a short period of time.
And I am from a wealthy family, so like me, it is not surprising that I got inspiration from the bulletproof briefcase and thought of the portable briefcase-style Mark armor.
What's more, this kind of light armor, in addition to being able to prevent direct fire, its biggest function is to take the user away safely.
In terms of function and practicality, it is completely incomparable with heavy armor.
Therefore, unless you have developed a new metal, I think your research direction is better to focus on heavy armor."
When Abigail heard this, she looked at William suspiciously. After thinking about it, she felt that William didn't care and she didn't need to care either.
Moreover, this kind of light armor, which has been eliminated for unknown generations, has long been ignored by her.
Stark then breathed a sigh of relief.
William, on the other hand, was holding back his laughter, thinking that he could use the Mark 5 that Stark had already built. Looking at the embarrassed look on his face, he didn't care even if he had two Mark 5s, let alone one.
I originally wanted to ask William what the armor he prepared for Abigail and other family members looked like.
But in the current situation, Stark didn't dare to ask.
I can only pick some business matters between the two groups, and together with the willing little pepper, I can find something to talk to Abigail.
Until the Phantom drove directly into the 100-meter spaceship whose outer shell was made entirely of vibranium, watching Abigail drag Pepper to try out the Mark 5,
Then he asked William with a smile, "You're not going to show me around, how about a tour?"
William smiled and shook his head, diverting Stark's attention and saying, "The most precious thing about this spaceship is not the inside of the spacecraft, but the outer shell of the spacecraft."
Upon hearing this, Stark immediately followed William who was walking to the spaceship lounge.
"Man, what do you mean by this? No matter how precious the shell is, the engine and energy system are precious?"
After passing through two automatic doors, William took Stark into the front of the spacecraft. Apart from the control room, the view was second best.
The vibranium shell can be automatically retracted to reveal a semi-panoramic lounge with a special glass table.
After pouring Stark a glass of Asgard liquor with more ice cubes, he smiled and said, "This shell metal is not only the hardest metal known to mankind, but it can also absorb any kinetic energy."
"Any movement, kinetic energy?" Stark, who was drinking strong wine, suddenly choked.
He covered his mouth and walked aside, coughed for a while, then lay down on the sofa and said feebly, "Whether it's an impact, an energy cannon, or an explosion, can it be absorbed?"
"Wait, wait", before William could answer, Stark sat up immediately.
He looked at William in disbelief and said, "Absorb kinetic energy? This, this, isn't this the vibranium of Wakanda?"
William smiled and nodded, then shook his head and said, "Wakanda's vibranium is actually a meteorite, and in my eyes, it is not the most precious metal."
These words immediately confused Stark.
At this time, he had never seen the Nano Black Panther armor made of vibranium, and he had no research on Captain America's shield.
What's more, if he thinks about it, William can use vibranium to build the outer shell of an entire spaceship. If the quantity is too large, in the human mind, they will instinctively think that this thing is not good.
"What metal is the best in your opinion?"
William smiled and stretched out his hand, and the Spear of Longinus appeared out of thin air in his hand. "The Uru metal from the divine world, coupled with the legendary Spear of Longinus, gave this spear something that even the Demon King of Hell was afraid of."
strength".
Looking at the spear that was glowing with golden light, Stark immediately stood up, walked forward quickly and asked excitedly, "Can you let me get started?"
William shrugged, "You can't lift it."
With a "thunk" sound, he put the spear on the floor and motioned for Stark to try it.
Looking at the smiling William suspiciously, Stark tried to pull out the spear on the wooden floor with one hand.
"Um?"
Feeling that the spear was not moving at all, Stark immediately used his other hand.
"Hell".
In the end, Stark squatted down, lifted his hands upside down, and used all his strength, but couldn't move the spear. Stark couldn't help but asked in frustration,
