Chapter 522 The Willful Young Master (Asking for Monthly Tickets, Subscriptions, and Recommendations) Asking for Monthly Tickets!!!
At this moment, Tony on TV has picked up the small blue paper and looked at the "lines" on it.
This is the speech draft that Tony's secretarial team finally came up with after consultations with all parties, and they have also prepared countless eyewitnesses for Tony, who will prove that the young master was partying all night on a yacht that night. The cause of the incident was that a prototype robot developed by the Stark Group malfunctioned, leading to the tragedy. In the end, a security guard of the Stark Group used a mechanical armor to prevent the incident from developing in an unknown direction.
Just when Tony was about to speak, Colonel Rhodes, who had been playing background on the side, came close to him and said, "Follow the lines!"
As one of Tony's few friends, Colonel Rhodes really knows what kind of dead his friend is. So he must remind him.
Tony curled his lips, and then faced the media with a relaxed look. This guy is born for the spotlight.
"I haven't been in public for a while, so... let's just read from the script."
The audience laughed very politely. As for how much of it was true and how much was just for politeness, only God knows.
"Ahem, well, some people speculate that I was involved in the incident at the Stark Group Building. I..."
The blonde reporter who had just made trouble started to attack again. "I'm sorry, Mr. Stark, do you really think we would easily believe that it was a bodyguard wearing a robot armor who happened to be there?"
"I know what you mean, Amir. It's okay to question the official statement, but you shouldn't speculate anyway and call me a 'superhero' for no reason. Is that the word? I..."
The reporter named Amir also interrupted Tony. She raised her hand and said very seriously: "I never said you were a superhero."
The tone of her voice, combined with her slightly disgusted expression, all showed that he was not in the ranks of superheroes they imagined.
As for the reason... do I need to say it?
Tony also felt embarrassed: "No? Uh... That's good. If that were the case, it would be too absurd and outrageous."
Speaking of this, he himself felt incredible: "I mean, I'm not cut out to be a hero. Obviously, I... have too many flaws and have done too many wrong things. The impact is very fast..."
Speaking of this, Tony felt that he couldn't continue.
Damn, why do I feel like I'm belittling myself?
How could Tony, such a cocky person, belittle himself? He wanted everyone in the world to praise him.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, including regret, fear, and unwillingness.
In the end, he made a very pleasant decision for himself.
The fact is..." Tony paused and threw away the small blue paper in his hand.
"I am Iron Man! "
Boom! Almost everyone in the audience stood up. Among the group of reporters, only the nitpicking female reporter was still sitting on the chair with her arms folded across her chest, her long white legs crossed, but her eyes were extremely surprised. Just now, she really just wanted to make trouble for a ruthless guy, and she was not mentally prepared for the shocking news she suddenly made.
...
Here, Chap was so scared that he couldn't even hold the cigar, and it fell directly on his crotch, so he slapped it with his hands while shouting, and then howled like a ghost.
It's not that he was not calm, it's really... this self-explosion is too shocking!
"He..."
"What's wrong with him? Others are rich!" Kai was very calm. After all, he knew it a long time ago.
"Is it great to be rich?" Chap picked up the cigar distressedly, with his hand covering his crotch. Almost, his little brother had to see a doctor.
Kai looked at him expressionlessly.
Chap bowed his head helplessly to this cruel world.
"Indeed, being rich is great. ”
The so-called rich people rely on technology, this is the current situation. What can ordinary people with flesh and blood use to fight against Tony, a rich man who plays with high technology? The cheating point is that most technological products can be mass-produced and sustainably replenished.
Of course, the poor don’t have to lose heart, the poor rely on mutation. Their lives are the only thing worth praising.
Tony launches a small missile, just by moving his mouth, and even the locking work can be left to Jarvis. It will be difficult for most mutated poor people to achieve similar effects with their own abilities. So, in this real world, it’s useless to say anything, you have no money to say anything!
Of course, Chap still can’t understand Tony’s self-explosion.
The title of superhero is definitely not as useful as the Stark Group. If there is no Stark Group, This young master may not dare to admit that he is Iron Man. But even so, there is no benefit, and bad things are likely to happen.
Batman, on the other hand, has no such concerns! Whoever wants to target Batman can slowly find him. If he can find him, he will lose!
...
In Los Angeles, Tony has returned to his villa in Malibu to hide from the limelight.
After all, in addition to admitting that he is Iron Man, Tony also dropped a bomb.
New energy!
Tony did not reveal his Ark reactor, but launched a new generation of arc shock reactor. The new generation of arc shock reactor has abandoned all the shortcomings of the previous generation, and it is efficient, environmentally friendly and cheap!
Tony officially announced that Stark Group will get involved in the energy industry!
And he also gave several letters of intent, including the acquisition contract of his NRG Energy company!
Yes, while Tony was constantly absorbing Stark Group shares in the market, he asked Pepper to start the funds in the secret account to invest in an energy company ranked third in the United States with a market value of US$100 million. NRG Energy's main business is power supply. Electricity is a relatively clean energy, so NRG Energy has made a lot of investments in green power generation and environmentally friendly power supply. It has many power users!
This just fills the gap in the power market of Stark Group, and he hardly needs to build power grids and user terminals.
Not only that, Tony also announced on the spot that all users of NRG Energy will enjoy the lowest electricity bill in the current market! Less than 60% of the market average price!
This is simply a fire sale!
If he wasn't Tony Stark, he would probably be killed by major energy companies tomorrow!
After this news was confirmed, the whole United States was boiling.
Countless unlucky people who sold Stark Group stocks almost cried with sadness. Damn, the reversal was too fast!
Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that Stark Group stocks are destined to rise sharply!
The people on Wall Street were dumbfounded. They were the most well-informed people in the entire market, but they had no prior knowledge of what Stark announced!
Especially the merger of NRG Energy!
This merger involving tens of billions of assets was carried out silently without any prior information. It was simply... unreasonable!
Wall Street makes money on this!
Soon, the information was disclosed.
The person who presided over this merger was Tony Stark's secretary, Virginia Pepper Potts!
A person who was considered by most people to be more of a vase than capable.
She contacted several major shareholders of NRG Energy and then acquired their shares at a premium. At the same time, on the same day, the Stark Group officially announced that it had reached a share swap agreement with the remaining shareholders of NRG Energy, which had been renamed "Stark New Energy Power".
The Stark Group took out about 2% of its shares to swap all the remaining power company shares from them!
If the closing price of the day was used to calculate this business, the original power company shareholders would definitely lose money.
But in the long run, those shareholders will definitely make money!
So Stark Group completed its absolute control of Stark New Energy Power the next day!
This good news made Stark Group's stock price rise by 80% again that day!
The reason why it only rose so much is that there are not many people in the market who are willing to sell their Stark Group stocks. Everyone is not stupid.
It can be predicted that Stark Group's stock will rise sharply in the near future!
And when the construction of the new arc shock reactor is completed and put into use, Stark Group's shares will usher in another sharp rise!
This slapped the faces of those experts and professors who advocated Stark's end all day long.
One by one, they immediately turned around and praised Stark, saying that his strategy was unpredictable and had extraordinary vision and courage.
However, at the same time, another company also made a splash.
Wayne Group.
Originally, Wayne Group was not a top company in the United States, and its assets were only tens of billions, and compared with a behemoth like Stark, it was not worth mentioning at all, but now... it is regarded as a stroke of genius in the investment world!
It is said that at that time, the Wayne Group did not know about the development of new technology at all, but simply believed in Tony.
Many people believe this statement.
It is not that they are all simple, but it is based on a very simple fact.
That is, the Stark Group could not leak such confidential technology development in advance. Such things would like to be known by as few people as possible before they mature.
Look, not many people even know about it in the Stark Group.
Of course, there will be conspiracy theories.
But it does not matter. The world of the rich and the world of ordinary people have always been worlds apart. The big things in the eyes of ordinary people are not worth mentioning in front of capital.
In short, the Wayne Group's investment was successful.
More than 300% return on investment!
The Wayne Group sold all its pots and pans, and used the lowest market price to absorb more than 8% of the shares from the market. Later, it took out all the remaining assets to get 2% of the shares from Tony! Otherwise, where do you think Pepper got such a big hand to take over "Stark New Energy Power"?
The Wayne Group provided financial support!
So this unknown Wayne Group suddenly became one of the largest financial groups in the United States!
With just this investment, the company's assets soared to 50 billion!
...
Of course, what really excited Kingsman, the behind-the-scenes controller of Wayne Group, was not the profit from the investment.
After all, the money did not belong to them, but to Kai.
What really excited them was the Ark Reactor.
After Kai took back the Ark Reactor, he asked Kingsman to start cracking and researching it immediately, and upgrade his bat armor!
This kind of cutting-edge technology is a national treasure. Under normal circumstances, even Kingsman would not be able to get close to it.
But now, not only did they get in touch with it, but they also got a complete sample!
Although it is a long and arduous task to crack all the technologies, it would be a rare improvement for Kingsman if he could crack one of them! Apart from other things, relying on the Ark reactor, even if they can't make a one-to-one energy source, they can make a proportionally enlarged version, which is not difficult. This is the most advanced energy technology!
"Merlin... you have met him. He will provide you with the best service as your logistics support supervisor."
Afu introduced the technical personnel specially sent by Kingsman to Kai at his home.
Merlin...
Looking at the bald, tall and thin man in front of him, Kai always felt that he was out of the play.
After all, in his impression, Merlin was a thin, handsome and handsome little bottom. He followed Arthur all day long. If he didn't know Arthur's sexual orientation, Kai would have suspected that there was some unspeakable reason why Arthur later died without an heir.
"Your majesty! Seeing your true face is the greatest honor of my life!" The bald man codenamed Merlin knelt on one knee and offered his loyalty to his master in a fanatical manner.
Kai had indeed seen this guy, but not face to face, but across the screen.
Kai was a little uncomfortable with his fanaticism. In his impression, scientists should all be atheists. But Merlin in front of him made Kai feel unreliable.
In fact, that was because Kai himself knew little.
Scientists are actually different from believing in religion or not.
For example, Copernicus, many people know that he proposed the heliocentric theory, was considered anti-religious, and was burned to death by the church. But in fact, he was a staunch Catholic, he himself was a priest, and a doctor of canon law. He was not burned to death by the church, and he was most likely to die of natural causes.
Another example is Newton, who is more famous. Many people say that Newton was superstitious in his later years and studied alchemy. But in fact, others have believed in this since childhood. In addition, there is Darwin, who also believes in religion.
Truth and faith are two different things.
Merlin is so enthusiastic about Kai, half of it is indeed out of worship.
The other half is due to his enthusiasm for science.
The code name Merlin is very special among Kingsman. In addition to supporting Kingsman agents in scientific logistics, they are also the custodians of the Holy Grail.
Originally, when Kingsman established this title, the importance of Merlin's title was no less than Arthur.
After all, he keeps the source of power for Kingsman agents - the Holy Grail.
But since Kai disappeared, the power of the Holy Grail has become weaker and weaker, and as a custodian, he is powerless... His status is naturally low.
This generation of Merlin is particularly lucky. He witnessed the revival of the Holy Grail!
And witnessed the extraordinary power of the Holy Grail with his own eyes!
Whether as 'Merlin' or as a scientist, he hopes to study the Holy Grail thoroughly.
Unfortunately, the greatness of the Holy Grail is beyond his imagination, and he can't study anything at all.
But now, he has another chance.
Kai, the true master of the Holy Grail!
Right in front of him now.
