Chapter 1710 Business Is Business
Alvin was not a technical expert, and he had no interest in the ins and outs of any technology.
He may not even know the professional terms in the paper. He is only interested in the finished product and people...
As long as the people are retained, it makes no difference to Alvin whether the technology is in his hands or not.
He doesn't understand steel suits, but he has the most ferocious mecha in the world...
He doesn't understand biotechnology, but he has the best biological armor in the world...
He doesn’t understand weapons technology, but he owns the most profitable arms company in the world...
He doesn't understand aviation technology, but the most critical company in the world's aerospace industry is in Hell's Kitchen...
He couldn't understand anything, but in the 'basement' of the school, there were several geniuses who could create miracles.
Alvin's character allowed him to make many friends, and those friends gave him the best feedback.
However, the Wasp's previous attitude made Alvin realize that they were not the same people as him.
If you can't be friends and you want to keep them, then you can only become business partners...
A true business partner!
Alvin had the opportunity to hold them back and squeeze their value desperately.
But Alvin's character determines that he will not do this...
Hank Pym clearly saw through Alvin's character...
But the only thing he didn't know was that what Alvin wanted was never technology, but people!
Provide you with a safe environment and other necessary help when you are desperate.
In exchange, you need to sign a contract that you can't back out of!
Alvin is not Raymond. He will not use various conditions to beat people into slaves and eventually develop the slaves into unrelenting enemies.
Hank Pym's family actually has no sincerity. The so-called "infinite Pym particles" that were passed on by Dr. Ethan were actually just a piece of pie.
What is the concept of unlimited quantity?
How much money can be raised by selling this company to produce "Pym Particles"?
This guy who has always refused to let go of his technology, even asking for help is trying to spread the pie. Maybe they think that a few thousand copies of 'Pym Particles' are enough to compensate for Hell's Kitchen's efforts...
Alvin followed their wishes and regarded everything as a business!
"I can provide you with funding and space...
We set up a joint venture company, I hold 80% of the shares, you hold 20%...
The company will be managed by you, and I will only arrange for a financial director to enter the company.
You or your daughter must sign a labor contract, and you must stay in the company until you find an heir that satisfies me.
And you must ensure that you can produce a certain number of 'Pym Particles' according to my requirements every year.
You just said that you want to develop a civilian version of Pym Particles...
As I understand it, the civilian versions are all castrated versions.
I don't want your original "Pym Particles", that thing is actually of no use to me at all.
You only need to follow my requirements and produce a certain amount of original ‘Pym Particles’ to meet the play needs of several of my children.
But you have to hand over the formula for civilian use to the company.
And we guarantee that even if you are no longer here, there will still be someone who can continue to produce this kind of ‘Pym Particles’.
Any income generated by this company in the future will be distributed in proportion to the shares held.
If you want to do any subsequent research, the company can also invest in this proportion.
Of course, the research results will naturally belong to the company! "
As he spoke, Alvin looked at Hank Pym, whose face changed color. He smiled, spread his hands, and said: "I'm not used to squeezing someone, because I feel that in that case, the cooperation cannot last too long.
I have no interest in your Ant-Man suit. My minimum standard is to have a company that makes toys for my children.
Of course, it would be even better if you could make some money from it!
You see, I am a good person that you recognize, so...
I don't accept any bargaining!
What's the saying?
Business is business! "
Hank Pym never thought that Alvin would put forward such "harsh" conditions.
It sounds like Alvin provided the funding venue and he had the most input...
But "Pym particles" are a mature technology!
When Alvin drew up the cooperation plan, he obviously did not take the value of "Pym Particles" into account, or he was evaluating "Pym Particles" based on the value of "toys".
And what's even more outrageous is that although Alvin doesn't want the original "Pym Particles" formula, even the civilian version is only the property of the company...
But he trapped himself and his daughter with the contract...
Even if he goes to court, Hank Pym doesn't think he has any chance of winning!
After all, this is the most typical "investment agreement", and even the share given by Alvin is higher than the general market situation.
More importantly, Hank Pym has no doubt about Alvin's ability to punish "defaulters".
For Hank Pym, this is a "contract of sale"...
In terms of gains alone, Hank Pym had nothing to lose.
Even when "Pym Particles" are recognized by the military of various countries and start receiving orders, he can still gain huge benefits.
But if Hank Pym agrees to the agreement dictated by Alvin, his family will be tied to Hell's Kitchen, and he will also have to accept a huge favor from Alvin.
After all, from any angle, Alvin was helping him...
If this agreement is released, more than half of the scientists in the world may be willing to go through fire and water for this contract!
A boss who doesn’t understand anything and doesn’t care about things…
Unlimited funds in the initial stage...
The boss’s huge influence…
There are also the most important safety guarantees and income cashing capabilities!
Who can refuse this?
Julie is the best example, but Alvin and Julie were talking about the teacher-student friendship...
If it were someone else who would bypass Alvin and develop "Pym Particles"...
As long as the military knows what it does to the space industry.
No matter who holds the "Pym Particles" in their hands, all the crumbs will be eaten away!
Credit and cash-out ability, this is Alvin’s greatest strength!
Who could refuse such an agreement?
As God testifies, Hank Pym never wanted to commercialize "Pym Particles", let alone hand over the formula.
Because the past "Pym particles" could not be commercialized at all, the high manufacturing cost limited its application scope.
Using Pym Particles to transport freight is more practical than buying hundreds of more trucks.
That is to say, only a money-burning industry like the aerospace industry is willing to use "Pym particles".
After all, every extra point of storage space can increase the sailing distance of the spacecraft.
This is the only project that Hank Pym thought of that could generate huge profits. For this reason, he temporarily thought of a civilian version of "Pym Particles."
He wanted to use this as a condition to impress Alvin, but everything was messed up by his daughter's willfulness.
He mentioned to Dr. Ethan before that he could supply an unlimited supply of "Pym Particles"...
But the prerequisite is that Alvin funds his own quantum laboratory.
And he feels that after achieving his goal, he can leave here...
But now, Alvin says nothing about the most important quantum laboratory.
Of course, according to the current agreement, Alvin will not get his "Pym Particles" in vain.
If I use the company's funds to build a quantum channel, I can finally rescue my wife...
Not to mention the scientific theoretical gains...
The most important thing is, is my wife still my own?
And if he agrees to Alvin's agreement, but in the end he is unwilling to bear the cost of the quantum laboratory and help obtain many key parts, Hank Pym feels that he can jump off the building.
The money required to build a quantum laboratory is enough to collapse many small countries.
If he couldn't satisfy his needs here, Hank Pym thought he might as well join his daughter and the others and continue to escape!
Alvin looked at the struggling Hank Pym, and he suddenly looked down on the old guy.
He may be a super genius, but his character is absolutely stubborn and proud. He does not understand what cooperation is, and even resists cooperation with others.
He would rather use "Pym Particles" as currency and seek asylum for himself, but he hesitates on a cooperation agreement that conforms to market laws...
Alvin felt that it was him, if it was to save his wife, and his daughter was on the way to a dangerous environment...
Not to mention working for others, Alvin would never hesitate even if he slept with others.
Alvin stood up with the wine glass in hand, ready to talk to Beckett...
The sound of his movements alarmed Hank Pym, who fell into silence...
The old guy gritted his teeth and said in a very humiliating tone: "I need a quantum laboratory...
I have a ready-made experimental building. You just need to provide me with an open space and a stable energy source, and the company will be able to run.
But building a quantum laboratory requires a lot of funds and various confidential equipment.
I have been waiting for this day for thirty years, and I have no time to wait! "
After hearing this, Alvin whistled frivolously and said with a smile: "You mean, you are responsible for the company's preparations...
And I need to put money into quantum labs, right?
I would like to ask, how much does a quantum laboratory cost? "
As Alvin pointed to his slightly old restaurant, he smiled and said, "As you can see, I'm actually not rich either."
Hank Pym listened and said with a wry smile: "The quantum laboratory will require approximately US$8 billion in initial funding...
And since you are Tony Stark's best friend, it shouldn't be difficult for you to get the important equipment needed for the lab. "
As he spoke, Hank Pym covered his forehead and said extremely tiredly: "You win!
As long as you let me rescue my wife, you can say anything..."
Alvin looked at Hank Pym's dejected look, and he said seriously: "Brother, put away your unlucky look, you seem to have lost nothing.
The role of 'Pym particles' is crucial to the entire human aerospace industry, but not to me.
You also have a share in the company, and the leadership is also in your hands. Even the products are ‘Pym’ particles, not ‘Alvin particles’!
You can create far more glorious achievements than you have in the past...
Are my conditions too much?
Or are you taking me for a fool?
Don't act like you've been wronged...
We are not even friends!
I respect you, but you don't give me the respect I deserve! "
Hank Pym listened, he was silent for a while, nodded and said: "You are right!
Business is business! "
