Chapter 188 Investing in Stark Industries
On the way back, Dr. Erskine looked at Hao Shuai, who looked calm, and asked, "Aren't you curious about why I, a university professor, could make an exception for that man to join the army?"
"I think the doctor won't mind telling me what can be told, and I don't need to know what can't be told, right?" Hao Shuai, who had known the reason for a long time, asked back.
"You are the person I trust the most, and there is nothing I can't tell you. You know I came from Germany. When I was in Germany before, I developed a serum that can make a person's body several times stronger. After coming to the United States, I joined the Strategic Research Agency of the Allied Forces, responsible for the Allied Forces' "Super Soldier" plan, and continued to study and improve the super serum." Dr. Erskine told the truth.
"Serum that can make a person several times stronger?" Hao Shuai pretended not to know and asked.
"Yes, what? Are you interested too? Then I'll give you an injection after the research is successful." Dr. Erskine, who regarded Hao Shuai as his own, thought that Hao Shuai also wanted to be injected, so he promised.
"No, I'm not interested in injecting anything into myself. What I want more is to join your team and learn the knowledge." Hao Shuai asked shamelessly.
"No problem, I'll talk to the people from the Strategic Research Agency tomorrow." Dr. Erskine took the responsibility.
"Thank you, Doctor." Hao Shuai thanked him.
...
The next morning, Hao Shuai didn't see Dr. Erskine at school. Knowing that he was busy with Hao Shuai's joining, he didn't rush to find him. Instead, he took Red Queen, who was bored at home, to the Stark Industries headquarters and met Howard who was busy in the boss's office.
"Howard, we meet again. Didn't I bother you?" Looking at Howard with lipstick marks on the corners of his mouth, Hao Shuai joked.
This Howard is worthy of being the father of the playboy. He got together with the secretary early in the morning.
"How could that be? I just finished my work. Let's have a drink." Howard noticed Hao Shuai's gaze, calmly took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and went to the wine cabinet beside him to take out a bottle of wine and invited him.
"Last night's anti-gravity car was a very good experiment." Hao Shuai praised after taking the wine handed over by Howard.
"Thank you, but it still failed, didn't it!" Howard was a little depressed when he mentioned last night's experiment.
"The direction is right, and the rest of the things will not take too much time with your intelligence!" Hao Shuai encouraged.
"You are right, this is really not a difficult task for me." Howard said arrogantly.
"Then I wish you success in advance, cheers!" Hao Shuai picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Howard, and then drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
After that, Hao Shuai and Howard talked while drinking, and soon talked about the knowledge of weapon design. At this time, Hao Shuai also explained the purpose of this visit, which was to ask Howard to check his design.
Then Hao Shuai took out the information from the briefcase in Hong Hou's hand and handed it to Howard.
After Howard took the information, he slowly read it. At first, he still had an indifferent expression on his face, but as he read the information, Howard's face became more and more shocked.
"Did you design all these?" Seeing the end, Howard couldn't sit still anymore and came to Hao Shuai excitedly and asked.
"Of course, these are all some of my designs and guesses." Hao Shuai shamelessly directly used the information that Hong Hou "worked hard" to download and print as his own design.
"Can you sell these designs to me?" Howard asked hopefully. He knew the value of Hao Shuai's information too well. It can be said that any design among them can save an arms company.
"Sell it to you? But I'm not short of money!" Hao Shuai said bluntly.
"Do you want to start your own company and produce it yourself?" Howard was shocked. If Hao Shuai really had this idea, he would have to consider whether his company had to change its business.
"How is that possible! Not to mention that I'm still a college student, even if I graduate, I'm not interested in running a business with all my heart! Isn't it nice to enjoy life? You know!" Hao Shuai directly denied the idea of starting a business and looked at Howard with a look that said you know.
"I know! I know!" Howard breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the Red Queen following Hao Shuai with an expression that said I know.
"So I prefer to invest in promising companies and then wait for the money to be divided." Hao Shuai hinted.
"What do you think of my Stark Industries?" Howard volunteered.
"I am still very confident in your company. The company has a great scientist like you, and you know how to operate. I am very optimistic about your company." Hao Shuai affirmed.
"Then how about I use 15% of the company's original shares to exchange for your designs?" Howard said shamelessly.
It can only be said that although Howard is a scientist, he is indeed a qualified capitalist, and he fully possesses the characteristics of capitalists who are thick-skinned and greedy.
"Only 15%? Too little." Hao Shuai pretended to put away the information and prepared to leave.
"20%, how about it? No more!" Howard grabbed Hao Shuai and said with a painful look on his face.
"20% is fine, but I require that this 20% is the most original shares and can never be diluted." Hao Shuai made a request. Hao Shuai was not very confident about these capitalists, even Howard.
"The most original shares that cannot be diluted? This is impossible." Howard shouted excitedly.
"Let's do this! I can promise not to participate in the management of the company. I only need to pay dividends every year. I will not sell these shares. At the same time, I can authorize the voting rights to you and your descendants." Hao Shuai was too lazy to waste time and directly stated the final conditions.
This is where Hao Shuai is awesome. Other time-traveling bigwigs are begging Howard for shares, while free-roaming time-travelers like Hao Shuai are just waiting for Howard to personally give them shares. Whether they agree or not depends on their mood.
"Okay, deal, I'll ask the lawyer to prepare the contract." Howard said happily. He actually wanted to agree in the morning, mainly because he was worried about the company's change of ownership in the future. After all, 20% of the original shares can already determine the ownership of the company.
Now that Hao Shuai's promise is written into the contract, he has no scruples. On the contrary, through this transaction, he made a lot of money. He has the information to make Stark Industries the largest arms company in the United States or even the world with Hao Shuai's information.
The lawyer arrived soon and prepared a contract for Hao Shuai and Howard. After Hao Shuai and Howard signed their names in the two copies of the contract, Howard excitedly picked up two glasses of wine, handed one to Hao Shuai, and said, "Cheers to our Stark Industries, which is about to become the world's number one."
"Cheers!" Hao Shuai smiled and raised his glass, echoed, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
In fact, Hao Shuai was not excited at all, although he only used some weapon designs from the 1970s and 1980s to get shares that might be worth tens of billions or hundreds of billions of dollars in the future.
But the same thing: money is really just a bunch of numbers and some symbols in front of Hao Shuai, and he is really not interested in money.
The reason for investing in Stark Industries is just to have a reason to maintain a relationship with Howard. Hao Shuai is investing in the future Iron Man Shi Da Ke in disguise.
Hao Shuai doesn't believe that with the identity of the company's major shareholder and his identity as his godfather, he would ask Shi Da Ke for a few battle armors to play with. He would have the nerve to refuse or dare to refuse!
If you really dare to refuse, Hao Shuai doesn't mind exercising his rights as a godfather (why does this sound weird)!
