Chapter 974 Arms dealers and superheroes are different
Regarding William's move to hand over the company's affairs to others, Stark would not do so at this time.
He has not experienced the test of life and death, so he only sees himself and his interests.
Fortunately, William never showed any signs of developing into the military industry, so although Stark was unhappy with William, he did not feel jealous.
Banner suggested that he study mechas when he saw the Anti-Transformers suit.
The design plan for miniaturizing the Ark reactor has been swirling in his mind for this period of time.
However, a businessman's profit-maximizing thinking prompted him to not come up with a preliminary plan now.
After all, he only holds 28% of the shares in Stark Group, and he will not do anything to benefit other shareholders in vain.
In addition, in the past year or two, the war in the desert area has shown no signs of ending, but has become more and more intense.
This has made the military industry business extremely profitable in the past few years. Regardless of the lack of orders, investors have been pursuing military industry stocks more than pharmaceutical and high-tech stocks.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Stark Group's market value to triple in less than seven years, reaching more than 300 billion U.S. dollars.
If we really develop a weapon that can determine the direction of the battlefield, it will harm the interests of the Stark Group. If the war continues for a few more years, the group's market value will exceed 500 billion US dollars without any pressure.
Therefore, he only planned to use the small Ark reactor's trump card at the end of the war.
At that time, he will mortgage part of his own stocks and obtain a large amount of cash.
Once the war ends and the military-industrial conglomerate has no profit point, it is not surprising that the stock price will be volatile, fall, or even fall several levels.
In this way, he can buy a large number of shares of the Stark Group, expand his shareholding, and firmly control the Stark Group.
Waiting for the stock price to fall for a few months, and then announcing to the outside world that you have made a new breakthrough in energy research, whether you keep it for yourself, or use your technology to invest in shares, get another share, and raise the stock price back up at the same time.
Disaster.
Therefore, with this idea, Stark did not want to materialize the small reactor at all to avoid leaks.
"Sir, your private helicopter is being asked to land at the designated location. You and Mr. Banner should set off."
Hearing Jarvis's words, Stark smiled and said, "Let's go, Banner, find a place to have breakfast, and talk about whether you are willing to take over research projects from me in your future hiding career.
While making some traveling money, you can also avoid being separated from front-line research for a long time and being eliminated by the times."
"God, I'm running for my life, how can I have time to do research in peace, and is this appropriate?"
Banner was actually quite excited about this proposal. He had already experienced the pain of running out of money, but he was worried that it would cause trouble to Stark.
"What's appropriate?" Tony chuckled, "I'll register an account in an offshore island for you, and let those guys who specialize in helping people solve special problems send you cash.
Even if you lose half of your money, $100,000 and $50,000 should be the same to you, right?"
Banner, who had rarely been exposed to this aspect, was stunned for a few seconds, then shook his head and laughed at himself, "Not to mention fifty thousand, five thousand US dollars is enough for me to live a good life for a year or two."
"Okay then, let's go, let's leave first."
Taking Banner into the elevator, Stark said to Jarvis, "Jarvis, remember to ask my lawyer to send a lawyer's letter to Ross and the guy who forced the private helicopter to stop.
Then tell Ross, the three-star general's boss, that if he wants to withdraw the lawsuit, he should come to me himself."
"Yes, sir".
When Banner heard this, he secretly sighed that it was better to be rich.
Stark shrugged as if he knew what Banner would be thinking, "Man, if I don't do this, people like Ross will come up with different tricks to trouble me in a few days.
In order for me to have time to communicate with girls in the future, instead of running back and forth in all kinds of troubles, I can only make others unlucky."
"Okay," Banner said with a smile, "it seems that I really don't have the talent to be a capitalist."
"Then do what you are best at and let a capitalist like me solve other things for you."
The two of them took the elevator to the underground parking lot. A sports car took off first, and with the sound of a roaring engine, it sped away outside New York.
After waiting for about thirty seconds, Jarvis reported that the sports car was followed by a car, and then Stark took Banner out of the building openly and got into the stretched Cadillac that had been punched by Blonsky.
Sitting in the car, Banner exclaimed with some alarm, "It seems that every gain must come with a loss. Even the super rich must be careful. Also, how did you calculate so accurately?"
"Then do you want to be a rich man, or an ordinary person running around for money?"
Banner looked embarrassed and said, "Okay, just pretend I didn't ask."
Tony laughed a few times, "There's no need for me to calculate. Jarvis will plan everything and tell me the least dangerous travel plan. All I have to do is do what he says."
When the convoy left Stark Tower, the private helicopter flew back obediently and landed in an open space.
As soon as the helicopter landed, Blonsky, who received the news that a sports car had left Stark Tower, quickly stepped forward to check it out.
Looking at the empty cabin, the disappointed Bronski could only report the situation to Ross.
After hearing this, Ross wanted to kill Stark immediately, but he also knew that this was impossible.
He sighed and said, "Forget it, you take Banner's serum back to the base in New York and leave the rest to me."
Ross picked up his cell phone and called Stark again, but he heard the message that the phone was turned off, "Damn it Stark, you are such a good playboy, you dare to challenge other people's bottom line."
After the Hulk escaped and the transport plane crashed in New York City, causing a large number of casualties, Ross knew that he would soon be in big trouble.
Therefore, catching Hulk back is the simplest and most effective solution. Another way is to activate Blonsky into the same super combat power as Hulk.
But because Hulk behaved too violently and irrationally, Ross did not want to inject Blonsky with Hulk's serum in such a hurry as a last resort.
Even if they want to take risks, they must first study the composition of the serum to see if it can be replicated. After all, Ross and his superiors value an established soldier more than a super soldier.
But he wanted to take it slow. Some people were overjoyed when they heard the news.
Although the arrangements Ross made for the Decepticons were secretive, the number of manpower and equipment mobilized was so large that anyone could guess a rough idea without knowing the specific plans.
Four hours later at 8 a.m., Ross, who was meeting with Obadiah Stane, the second shareholder of Stark Group, received an order for him to go back and report on his duties.
