Eight Hundred and Twenty-Four Chapters Go Out, One Top Two
Since the end of June, Tony has been staying at the Malibu Beach Villa every day, tinkering with his new armor, and handing over all the company's affairs to Pepper, which has aroused the dissatisfaction of many company veterans.
Pepper just turned 30, but he held the authority of the president of the Stark Group in a grand manner. It is impossible for a lot of old guys to have no opinions in their hearts.
Tony's huge scientific research spending in the past two months has made them even more terrified.
Tony's lack of appearance, which made them have very bad associations.
For example, is Tony going crazy? Top scientists are like top artists, and mental illness is a common problem for this highly intelligent group.
It may also be that Tony, who has not shown up for a long time, is seriously ill, and Pepper takes the opportunity to frantically use the company's large high-end resources to dig the company's corner to enrich his own pockets.
Under this pressure, Tony couldn't resist Obadi's repeated pleas, and finally came out of the villa and went to Afghanistan in person to try to get the order from the military.
Having spent more than two billion dollars in research funding from the Stark Group in two months, he really needs to show shareholders the hope of making money.
It will be more convincing that this first order is completed by him personally.
In weapon development, Tony still has confidence.
His invention has made Stark Group money for many years, and the company's founder, Howard Stark, is his father.
Tony is the president, and they will hold back even if they are not convinced.
People who can do administrative work, scientific research ability is like a mental retardation in front of Tony.
People with certain scientific research ability, but not Tony's status.
Tony Stark, based on his own strength, blessed by his father's prestige, and Pepper's administrative ability, has managed the company prosperously.
No one is qualified to challenge his position, even Obadai, a super veteran, can't increase his shareholders.
Moreover, he is also a genius scientist who is best at persuading those generals in the military.
For example, Hammer Defense, which has been trying to squeeze into the mid-to-high-end arms market, will easily pick out a lot of faults every time it takes a sample to compete with the Stark Group.
Even many generals who received benefits from the Hammer Defense Company would be shaken by Tony, and finally handed over the order to the Stark Group.
Tony's poisonous tongue has never been tolerated by ordinary people, and it is even sharper and terrifying when it comes to technology.
Anyone who wants to find faults with Stark Group's products will be refuted in a few sentences.
Compared with Tony, the level of weapons developers at Hammer Defense Company is equivalent to that of kindergarten children, and Tony is at least a doctoral tutor.
The two sides didn't have to fight at all.
However, this Jericho missile was only produced by Tony a few days ago, and the technicians of Stark Group have not had time to learn more about it, except to rush out the test-fired products in groups of three.
Let them do the sales, the gold is said to be sold like a dog, and it is most reliable for Tony to act in person.
Anyway, Tony made up his mind that the private jet would waste at most a day of going back and forth, and the live demonstration would take half a day from departure to completion, so that he could return to Los Angeles within two days.
After getting the first batch of orders from the military, the company only needs to find the public relations department and continue to lobby the military to increase purchases, and he does not need to worry about this.
Shareholders who want to make money will do it themselves.
With this income, shareholders will be honest for at least a few months.
As for why the Jericho missile is finished, he is still using the company's scientific research resources, so he will find another project to fool them.
After such a hard time, Tony felt that his ears could rest for two or three months.
The first half of things were business as usual.
Tony flew to Afghanistan to choose a test firing location.
Looking at the observation group composed of military representatives in front of him, he said: "To be respected or to be feared, which is better? Many people think this is a multiple-choice question, but I think it is possible to have both."
The delegates in front of them were all focused on these words.
"It is said that the best weapons threaten others without firing them.
I beg to differ. "He raised his volume slightly: "I think the best weapons also need to fire once!" That's what my dad is used to doing in America, and it's by far the most effective. "
Having said that, he waved to the technicians on the side and motioned them to start work.
"As long as you find an excuse and open fire once, those empty cloth elements will be scared to hide in the dark cave and shiver, like those mice." Tony's language carried extremely powerful confidence.
The delegates agreed.
Find an excuse and fuck him niang! As long as you beat your opponent, everything you say is right.
This is the proud tradition of Great America.
For example, the atomic bomb was created by Howard Stark! I've used it twice in the US and it works great.
When everyone was thinking about it, a Jericho missile shot out on the launch pad not far away, and flew directly to the mountain range in front of everyone.
Tony's face was calm, and his hands were slowly raised, as calm as the statue on Monte Cristo in Rio: "Gentlemen, let me bring you Stark Group's new cross-generational product - the Jericho missile."
Boom boom boom!
A series of huge explosions sounded, and the entire mountain trembled and was drowned in the soaring smoke.
Ferocious air waves mixed with sand and dust quickly swept the entire test firing site.
The seniors and juniors in the outfit ratio were taken two steps, and the hats of the military representatives were all tossed and flew out, and the clothes were pressed tightly against the body, and the corners of the clothes rattled.
Looking at the expressions of the representatives, Tony coughed lightly, knowing that he had successfully fooled this group of bureaucrats who didn't understand science again, and that the third-rate missiles that were rushed out could also sell for a good price.
Sure enough, as always, there were no surprises in the order.
After confirming that the Ministry of Defense would place an order, Tony walked to the side, opened a large incubator, and delivered the ice-cold famous wine stored in it to the representatives present. Give a case of wine. This case is my request, it doesn't count."
Saying that, he raised his glass: "To the peace."
At this time, his phone rang, and it was Obadeh, who said that the company needed him to go online to deal with it.
Of course, Tony would not be dealing with company affairs in the wilderness of Afghanistan, so he returned to the base ahead of schedule.
A group of generals stayed at the test firing site, preparing to use the remaining two Jericho missiles to continue the test of the damage effect.
Therefore, most of the entourage of more than 200 soldiers remained at the test firing site to protect the delegation and the two Jericho missiles.
Only ten vehicles were carrying more than thirty American soldiers to escort Tony back to the base.
Still, that's not a big deal.
The distance between the base and the test firing site is not far. Once the convoy encounters an accident, a large number of reinforcements can be called at any time.
