Chapter 1064 Difficult to Convince

"Maya?!" Tony was still surprised to see Dr. Maya. It is true that Tony is a playboy, but he is not the kind of person who plays and forgets when he is romantic. Like how he remembered most of the women he'd had a one-night stand with. Of course, there are very few who can remember the name, and in most cases, they need to rely on the small notebook provided by Jarvis.

But he still remembered Maya, because not only did the two have a short relationship (probably hundreds of hours), but also because Maya was also a very good researcher. Although Maya was still penniless at that time, the research was still in its infancy and there were many problems. But her theories about things like wound healing in the body's genes stuck with Tony. Even if he could forget what this woman looked like and her name, Tony did not forget her research topic. Perhaps from this point of view, Tony is really a very real and competent scientist.

"Long time no see, Tony." Maya has passed ten years, but her appearance is still beautiful. Especially now that she is no longer the image of a young and beautiful girl, but has more femininity, a kind of settled beauty.

"Please sit down, I really didn't expect you to come to me." Tony invited Maya to sit down: "What do you want to drink? I have champagne, sparkling wine and pre-mixed rum here."

"Water, thank you." Maya said politely.

"Well, I thought you would toast our reunion." Although Tony was married and had a daughter, his private life was very restrained. But his ability to seduce girls is an instinct carved in his body. As long as he saw a girl, he would flirt intentionally or unintentionally, and he didn't even realize that he was flirting with her. Perhaps this way of life has become an instinct of his, and probably only Pepper Pepper can tolerate his character. If it's another woman, I'm afraid she will be pissed off or divorced within a few days of marriage.

"You're married, Tony. I thought you'd have a better demeanor for your wife, womanly." Maya said with a smile, taking the water glass Tony handed her over.

Tony also poured himself a glass of water, and he took a sip: "Yes, I have always maintained a good demeanor. In fact, after establishing a relationship with Pepper, I have been very... um... good? Okay, I really don't want to use that adjective to describe myself, I feel like a bitch. But I'm really good now. I don't go to night clubs, I don't pick up girls, I don't go to Hollywood celebrity parties, can you believe it, I am Live in Malibu Shores, Los Angeles. (Hollywood is in Los Angeles, and Malibu Shores is another residence where celebrities and rich people gather besides Beverly Hills).”

Maya smiled: "This is life, Tony. If you want to get something, you have to give up something."

"You're right." Tony nodded feelingly: "Okay, the reminiscences are almost done. I guess you didn't come to me to reminisce, right? Especially after I'm married." Tony shines on his wedding ring.

"Of course it's not just for reminiscing about the old days. In fact, I came with a business plan." Maya handed Tony a tablet computer she was carrying with her.

"Wow, let me guess, you found a good investor for your previous plan, right? Who is it?" Tony didn't open the tablet immediately after taking it, but asked with interest: "Have you continued with the drug that can repair limbs and genetic lesions?"

"I thought it would stop, because Osborne Group's regenerative medical technology has already started to be promoted on a large scale, and there are already more than a thousand treatment sites around the world. I thought no one would continue to invest in similar projects .It doesn’t quite fit the business plan.”

Maya nodded: "Yes, Harry Osborn's regenerative technology has had a huge impact on my project from all aspects. And the funds have also been cut off. But this world does not lack people with vision , someone will see the promise of what I have built into my product.”

"That's really an entrepreneur with an adventurous spirit. Who continued to invest in you?" Tony turned on the tablet and was about to read it.

"It's you, Mr. Tony Stark. You and your Horizon Foundation saved my project." Maya said the investor behind it.

And Tony was a little stunned when he said this: "Wait, I don't remember you applying for a project fund from the Horizon Foundation? Wait, this is the Zodiac's plan. Are you working for him under Ethan?! How did you know him?"

"Yes, that's it." Maya said with a smile: "Do you still remember the party we met? Actually, Dr. Ethan was there that day. I even knew him a few minutes earlier than I met you. Of course, Ethan Sen is an upright scholar, but you were a slutty young man back then."

"Dr. Ethan found me after founding Zodiac and convinced me to join Zodiac. At that time, my project had come to a standstill because of the impact of regeneration technology. My project was considered worthless, and regeneration The technology is too repetitive, and it is not as mature as the opponent's technology." Maya said helplessly.

"Wait, wait!" Tony stopped Maya: "I invested a lot of money in the Zodiac, hundreds of millions of dollars before and after. Don't you mean that Ethan spent most of the money on Are you on your experiment?"

Maya raised her eyebrows: "So what?"

There was a wry smile at the corner of Tony's mouth. He felt that Ethan's decision was too wrong. From a business point of view, his hundreds of millions of dollars might be in vain.

"The repetition rate of your achievements and regenerative technology is too high." Tony quickly browsed the information displayed on the tablet given by Maya. In fact, Ethan and Maya hid the information of the Extremis virus quite a bit, and many of the key things were not revealed. It only showed its side as a therapeutic agent.

"If you want to promote this potion, then you must have a business war with Harry Osborn. This will be a protracted battle, and it's hard to say who will win and who will lose in the end." Tony has his own considerations .

"But my medicine also contains some uses for the treatment of genetic diseases." Maya pointed out the difference: "This is incomparable with regenerative technology."

"However, Suguang Technology has signed a tripartite agreement with Regeneration Technology and Tuvalu. The next focus of x medicine will be transferred to the field of medical regeneration. In this regard, Suguang Technology has reached a cooperation with Regeneration Technology." A clear female voice came . Pepper, who has passed confinement, has regained the demeanor of a strong business woman.

She was stepping on high heels and wearing a white professional suit, looking extremely capable.

"Miss Maya, nice to meet you. I am the CEO of Stark Group and Suguang Technology, you can call me Pepper." Pepper introduced himself politely, but Maya vaguely felt her strength. As if taking an oath of sovereignty, Pepper pulled Tony away from Maya without a trace.

"Genetic engineering will be the next research direction of Dawn Technology and Regeneration Technology. Maybe we should have a good talk." Pepper smiled, but Maya didn't want to talk to her at all. She felt that talking to Pepper Most of these are about to collapse.

And Pepper didn't give Tony a chance to say anything more. She turned to Tony and said, "By the way, Mr. Iron Man, I think there is one thing you need to deal with."

Facing Pepper, Tony felt a little guilty. Did he count as an old lover in secret just now? So he quickly said, "Okay, what's up?"

"Another plane of our Sugon Technology has crashed. I don't think this is a good phenomenon." Pepper said the bad news.
