Chapter 155 The True Master of Stark Industries
In a large conference room in the Stark Industrial Office Building, all the directors of the company were present.
They sat in their respective chairs, talking in a familiar way, and complaining about Tony Stark, who was late.
After Howard's suspended death, Stark Industries was once in trouble. At the instigation of Obadiah, Tony Stark inherited from Howard, 40% of the shares of Stark Industries, sold. It took ten percent out to save the troubled company, and that's where the board of directors is now.
Coupled with the subsequent listing of the company, Tony Stark reduced his holdings by 20% as tradable shares. Today, Tony only has 10% of Stark Industries' shares, and after a series of share changes , the size of the board of directors has been further expanded, and now there are nine directors, who hold more than 10% of the company's shares.
So the actual control of Stark Industries is not in the hands of Tony Stark, but these board members here.
This is also Obadiah's plan to oversell Tony through the board of directors and master Stark Industries.
For Tony Stark, the board members, like Obadiah, just use him as a tool to make money for them. Tony Stark continues to develop new weapons, which they sell to anyone who needs them. People, whether they are national troops or terrorists, as long as they can bring them wealth, they don't care who these weapons are in the hands of.
From this point of view, they are consistent with Obadiah's ideas and pursuits, so when Tony plans to close the arms manufacturing department, they stop Tony's work without hesitation, help Obadiah seize power, let He is in complete control of the company.
This is also the result of years of planning and hard work by Obadiah.
Now, the spokesperson of the board of directors, Obadiah, is dead, and Tony Stark, the chairman, called them together and called the board of directors. They don't know what the purpose of Tony's meeting of the board of directors is.
Although he has become an Iron Man, in their eyes, he is still the playboy who was toyed with and applauded by them. If they were, he would never disclose his identity. childish.
If he knows the current affairs, they don't mind getting his job back and letting him keep running the company and making money for them.
After all, Tony Stark is really a genius in weapon research and development, as long as he is willing to continue to develop more advanced and powerful weapons for the company as before, then they will continue to enjoy Stark Industries as before. They create a steady stream of great wealth.
And if Tony Stark is still stubborn, they don't mind continuing to restrict him and re-establish an obedient spokesperson. Anyway, the existing weapon technology of Stark Industries is enough for them to obtain huge profits, without Tony Stark, they just earned less.
So when Tony Stark walked in, there was no respect for the chairman in the eyes of the board members, but a high-level scrutiny.
But soon, their eyes turned to the few people who walked in with Tony Stark, especially when one of them was a tall and slender young man of Chinese descent with a cold and dignified face. The first one originally belonged to the chairman. After sitting down on the chair, the brows of several directors could not help wrinkling.
"Tony! Who is this man?"
A man in his fifties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a mean face, asked rudely to Tony Stark who had just sat down beside Chen Mo.
Tony Stark directly ignored his question and didn't even look at him.
Dare to use this attitude to speak to me, I will blame you!
Moreover, he didn't know how to introduce Chen Mo and tell everyone, this is my godfather, you can call him dad like me?
Ah no, it's my uncle, because he's almost 100 years old and just came out of the ice.
All of you are able to point fingers here, all thanks to his life-saving grace!
Tony Stark just convened the board of directors at Chen Mo's request, but he didn't know Chen Mo's plan, but no matter what Chen Mo wanted to do, he would fully support him.
The director who asked the question just now found that no one was paying attention to him, and his face turned red with anger. He glared at Tony Stark fiercely, and turned his eyes to Chen Mo. Just when he was about to question Chen Mo directly, Chen Mo's eyes suddenly turned red. looked at him.
Chen Mo's eyes are indifferent and cold, making his body cold, as if it can freeze people's souls. He was directly held back in his stomach, his arrogant head lowered unconsciously, avoiding Chen Mo's sight.
Chen Mo's eyes swept across the faces of everyone present, and the expressions of those who met his eyes changed drastically in an instant.
These directors are just rich people who have mastered the power of the company. After all, they are just ordinary people. How can they be compared with Chen Mo, who has killed countless people and is in charge of the imperial power of the empire.
Under his sharp eyes, they all retreated, not daring to look at him, and they couldn't help but feel a little jealous of this strange person who suddenly appeared.
Glancing around indifferently, Chen Mo raised his hand and waved to Phil Coulson behind him. When he and Pepper Pepper stepped forward and sent the documents they were holding to everyone, Chen Mo said slowly.
"I am the boss of this company!"
Everyone present, including Tony Stark, was stunned when they heard the words, and then they saw the documents that Phil Coulson and Pepper placed in front of them.
With doubts, everyone opened the documents in front of them and looked at them.
As the documents were read, the expressions on everyone's faces became more and more exciting.
At the top of the document is a copy of an equity transfer contract that shows that seventy years ago, Howard sold 60 percent of Stark Industries to $60 million. Chen Mo, that is to say, the person named Chen Mo in the contract holds 60% of the company's shares and is the real boss of Stark Industries.
In fact, everyone present knows that Stark Industries has a mysterious major shareholder who occupies 60% of the company's shares, but has never shown up or interfered with the company's operations.
The huge dividends every year have always been paid to Howard's private scientific research account. After Howard's "death", it became Tony Stark. Therefore, Tony Stark's research funding has always been funded by this. Provided by a mysterious controlling shareholder, if it wasn't for Howard's previous research on anti-gravity technology was too expensive, and all the money in the account was spent, Tony Stark would not have been instigated by Obadiah, in order to save The troubled company sold its shares.
Although Tony Stark only owns 10% of the shares of Stark Industries, he actually owns 70% of the company's dividends, and the directors of the board of directors are only about 1% each. .
It's just that Tony Stark is obsessed with weapons and technology research and development, spending most of this huge income on experiments, and the final result is handed over to Stark Industries for production and sales, allowing the company and other shareholders Save a lot of research money.
It's just that Tony Stark didn't care about these before. In his opinion, experimentation and research are his hobbies, he enjoys the process, and Stark Industries is also his own company, so there is no need to calculate it so clearly .
Therefore, the shareholders of these boards have been taking advantage of Tony all the time, and they have peace of mind.
Tony Stark didn't care before, because the last 70% of the profit went back to him anyway, and money was a number to him. Stark Industries was established by his father Howard, and now In his hands, he hopes to see it continue to grow and develop, and his research results are used by his own company, which is not a research and development expense.
Of course now, after being calculated by Obadiah and the board, Tony will not be as naive as before.
In fact, including Tony, everyone did not know the situation of this mysterious major shareholder before. His information seemed to be deliberately hidden. Everyone only knew of his existence, but no one knew where he was sacred and why. Although he has the controlling stake, he never participates in the management of the company, and he also gives huge dividends to the people of the Stark family for free use.
At this time, the contract solved the doubts in everyone's heart. An additional clause on the contract stated that Chen Mo would hand over all the proceeds to Howard for research purposes.
As for not participating in management, it was a private verbal agreement between the two of them. Of course, for the two of them, this was enough. If it wasn't for the formal documents for equity and income distribution, the two didn't even need to sign a contract. Howard dared to rely on Chen Mo. account? Obviously he didn't have the guts.
And if Chen Mo defaults on his debt, Howard can only endure it, who will let him beat Chen Mo.
The authenticity of the contract was checked, and they didn't think it was fake, but some people found the problem.
"This contract was signed seventy years ago, don't tell us, you are Chen Mo?"
Although they were deterred by Chen Mo's aura at the beginning, the huge benefits related to the company's control made them put aside their fears.
At this time, Tony Stark, who had read the contract, spoke.
"You should know my father's identity. During World War II, he joined a special department of the Allied Forces. You must have heard of one of his former comrades, that is, the commander of the special forces, Chen Mo!"
"That's the one in front of you!"
