Chapter 755
Dr. Ethan naturally had something to do when he returned to New York. The Zodiac Group he formed has now officially started operations. Relying on various means, Dr. Ethan eroded all kinds of legal inheritance left by the Mandarin. Those formal industries that will not be traced back have all been brought under Ethan's banner.
Those sunset industries, such as various energy industries, were sold by Ethan. This thing will be a drag in the future, if you want to sell it, you have to sell it early. Take advantage of the fact that you can sell it for a little bit now.
He still keeps the chemical industry, because even humans go into space. The chemical industry is still very important. With such dismantling and reduction, the entire property of the Ten Rings Gang was almost sold by him.
He would rather have cash to form a new Zodiac Group than to take over industrial chains that he thinks have no future.
Zodiac currently has considerable cash flow, and Dr. Ethan has mastered a lot of technology. Including some biotechnology and mechatronics.
However, there are not many technologies that can be realized into products. Ethan can only make appropriate modifications to some traditional electronic circuit systems. There are also some other legacies left by the Ten Rings for industrialization.
The entire Zodiac Group can make profits, so it can be regarded as a healthy company. If Ethan is given enough time to develop, maybe he can also bring out a giant enterprise.
But that might take thirty or forty years, which is too long. Ethan didn't have that much time to wait. Because he has a sense of urgency, and this sense of urgency comes from nowhere.
But Ethan looked at the world, singing and advancing like a raging fire, but the undercurrents in it were all hidden.
When economic construction is in an era of rapid expansion, the undercurrents below will be temporarily suppressed. But once the development stagnates, the contradictions accumulated in the past will explode in an instant!
This is Ethan's idea, and this idea has also been proved by various incidents that have appeared countless times in history, and it will indeed happen.
From south to north, from east to west. There are such things everywhere, whether it is the impact of the unemployment wave in the United States that year, or the Great Recession of the Japanese economy after that, until the current generation of abandoned houses.
In fact, the contradictions have never been resolved, but they have been transferred. Ethan felt that he needed to do something, he needed to make some reserves before the possible conflict broke out.
And the progress of the Zodiac is too slow, especially digging into the virus is a hole that burns money, and Ethan has already lost a lot of money to go in. But it wasn't enough, and now Ethan needed to ask for some help.
The Maybach car slowly drove into the center of Manhattan, and the Stark Industries Group building was already clearly visible.
Dr. Ethan muttered to himself: "Tony, I hope you will not be so self-willed now. Because you have profoundly changed the world, then you have the obligation to make it normal. Otherwise..."
………………………
In Li Jie's small villa.
"Tony Stark is going to hold an early wedding?" Peter Parker asked in disbelief: "Hey, he didn't mention it when I had lunch with him at the Horizon Foundation and chatted a few days ago. "
Li Jie was answering Peter's question while packing his clothes: "Yes, for various reasons. Pepper is pregnant, so he moved up the date of preparing for the wedding on New Year's Day on January 1st. Now he is going to Wedding before Christmas. Seems a bit rushed."
In the chat with Tony at the Venus Base, he, Pepper and their children were talked about. During the chat, he suddenly felt that he should hold the wedding sooner.
After the Florida disaster relief operation ended, Tony did not transfer those engineering mechs back to the Venus base. Instead, let them all go to the small island of New Zealand to speed up the process of the entire small island.
So on that day, Tony seemed to have a sudden brain cramp and said: "I think it would be good to have a wedding next Sunday, what do you think?"
Li Jie and Rogers: "Huh?!"
"By the way, you'd better dress decently for my wedding, and don't lose my face too much. Of course, you can't dress too well or look too handsome, because I will be the protagonist that day. By the way, remember to order a new set Suit." Tony crackled and said all his plans.
Sometimes Iron Man's personality is really elusive when he thinks about certain things.
So, Tony just set the wedding date down. Anyway, the wedding must be held before Christmas. As for when? Tony didn't care much, anyway, he felt that the preparations were almost done.
But he forgot to take into account another thing, that is, maybe he and Pepper are almost ready. But is everyone else ready?
For example, Li Jie is like this now, he has turned out all his formal clothes. Well, actually two sets. Come on, how many suits or tuxedos do young people between the ages of 18 and 9 prepare?
Li Jie has a lot of sports suits, denim jackets and hip-hop clothing. But those definitely can't be worn to a wedding. If he wore a denim jacket to Tony's wedding, I was sure Tony would stink when he saw him.
"His personality is really terrible." Li Jie looked at the two suits on the bed and said with a frown: "Actually, he asked me to inform you that the time to attend his wedding has changed. But really Damn it, the new suit I ordered won’t be ready until the day before Christmas. It was originally prepared for his wedding on January 1st, and Lan’s evening dress is also custom-made, so it’s too late.”
"Looks like we'll just have to wear old suits." Peter grimaced, "I've only worn the suit I just bought for Harry's engagement, and it would be a pity if I didn't have the chance to wear it a second time." Right. By the way, did Tony appoint someone to be the best man and escort the ring?"
"Not yet, he needs to discuss it with Pei Bo." Li Jie thought inwardly: It's best to get my ring back.
"The flower girl and the little angel Tony have been chosen. It just so happens that we also know each other. He wants me to talk about it." Li Jie pouted as he said.
Peter asked curiously, "Who?"
"Mindy and Laura, Tony has seen them from afar. But he hasn't dealt with them, and Laura won't say. How dare he choose Mindy to be a cherub! Ha! If he knew that Mindy had blackmailed Twenty years of snacks for the person in charge of the White House." Li Jie shook his head.
Peter smiled. "Then Tony's going to have a container of candy ready by Halloween to keep Mindy from tricking his wedding."
While Li Jie and Peter were chatting about this topic, Thor also came to the door of Li Jie's room, and he said at the door: "You are not bad and you still have an old suit to wear. I can't buy it in my size." ready-to-wear, I guess I'll have to wear a plaid shirt to his wedding."
Li Jie waved his hand indifferently: "What is this? Even the triumphant ceremony in Asgard was attended by you wearing a vest and flip flops. Tony's wedding scene will not be more grand than that. You even met You are not afraid of Odin, but you are afraid of Tony?"
Thor was amused by what Li Jie said, he laughed twice before remembering what he came here for: "Oh yes, if you have time, you'd better go down and have a look. If you don't want Strand If Qi dies."
"Huh?" Li Jie glanced at Thor questioningly, at the same time a shrill scream came from the basement.
