Chapter 43 Two American Dreams

If your life is not hard enough, don't have a bad mouth.

Stark still doesn't know that his habitual ridicule will make him continue to suffer ups and downs.

And this could have been avoided.

Return to the US military base.

Stark saw his good friend Colonel Roddy, and the two embraced affectionately.

Roddy: "Come with me next time, okay?"

……

Martin didn't bother to talk to this passionate couple, first went to the cafeteria to enjoy a big meal, found a private room for a short nap, and then followed everyone on the plane in a daze.

Back to America.

A red-eyed Pepper greets Stark at the airport.

This time Martin looked at it with interest, but he still felt that Stark's vision was too bad, maybe this was true love.

I asked Colonel Roddy about the flight plan between the air force bases, and asked for permission to take a transport plane.

go home directly.

Betty at home is still pretty.

Martin is not interested in continuing to follow Stark to watch the live plot, even if it is the famous "Close the Ministry of Weapons" press conference.

He has more important things to do.

As soon as he got home, he hugged Betty, drank some wine, and turned on the computer.

Watching a stock that just popped 20.00% on Stark's return, sell.

Backhand short.

Just in time.

At this time, Stark should have just rushed back to Los Angeles, but he didn't go to the hospital or go home, but directly held a press conference.

"Earned more than 1000 million?"

Betty looked at the numbers on the screen excitedly.

"That's right." Martin smiled slightly: "Your man's ability to make money is pretty good, right?"

"Honey, you are amazing!"

Betty nodded again and again, her eyes were filled with adoring little stars, but she couldn't help revealing her purpose soon: "Why don't you... add a piece of equipment to the purchase list?"

Martin laughed, and stretched out his hand to pinch his girlfriend's face: "So, your focus has always been on experiments."

Betty smiled and kissed Martin, then turned her head to look: "Huh? Why is there another 1000 million in the account?"

Martin took a look and found several news links:
"Stark announced the closure of the weapons department, and Stan denied it on the spot."

"The willful press conference will really ruin my father's business."

"Arms companies do not produce weapons, and stock prices have fallen off a cliff."

Martin smiled proudly: "Did you see that, that's how you earned 1000 million."

Betty was surprised: "When did you go short?"

Martin had a black line: "So, you didn't watch me operate at all?"

Just as Betty was about to nod, she quickly shook her head again, with little stars in her eyes again: "Honey, you are amazing!"

Martin rolled his eyes: "Baby, it's too fake, don't try to lie to me a second time."

Betty put away her exaggerated expression, and kissed Martin with a smile: "Why don't you... add two pieces of equipment to the purchase list?"

Martin nodded dumbfoundingly: "Well, for the sake of your persistence."

From the place where the sky is full of yellow sand and gunpowder smoke in the Middle East, I return to my peaceful and peaceful home.

Martin realized the value of ordinary life.

After dealing with the stocks, I thought about preparing a meal.

Cleanse yourself up.

At dinner, Betty looked at the four dishes, one soup and red wine on the table, and was moved: "Honey, you still remember that today is my birthday!

I myself only remembered it when I was making experimental records in the afternoon. "

Martin: "Hehe...just as long as you are happy."

Embarrassment is a bit embarrassing, but there is also a kind of joyful mood, as if dodging a disaster.

Woke up the next night feeling refreshed.

Martin opened the refrigerator and was about to make an omelet when he saw a can of Coke by accident, his eyes lit up, he took it over and opened it, and he poured it clean.

Betty came over and saw him drinking Coke, and she was immediately happy: "Drinking Coke in the morning is not good for your teeth, you look like you are trying to drink."

Martin squeezed the can, threw it into the trash can, burped comfortably, and said, "You don't know, yesterday, oh, it should be the day before yesterday, when I was dangling in the military vehicle, I wished so much for a bottle Cold Coke."

Betty smiled softly, came over and hugged him: "Yesterday my dad called and asked me to thank you."

The missing Stark was not only found, but also picked up, and the task assigned by General Ross was overfulfilled.

As for what the guy poked at the press conference, that's another story.

Martin blinked back. "Your thank you last night was great! Really!"

Betty pursed her lips and smiled.

While the two were greasy and crookedly preparing a breakfast of love here, in an office at the CIA headquarters in Langley, Bob was enjoying the text message notifications on his mobile phone.

Relying on the convenience of his work, he bought some Stark Industries stocks before he returned from the Middle East, and asked his subordinates to keep an eye on Martin's operations after returning.

When Martin sold the stock, he sold it too.

At this time, more than 100 million has been earned.

But to his pity, he hesitated after discovering Martin's short-selling operation.

As a result, this hesitation made him immediately realize that short selling was no longer possible.

Because everyone knows that Stark announced the "shutdown of the Arms Department".

Despite Obadiah Stein's strenuous denials, people will still believe Stark's own statement until Stark comes forward to clarify.

This also makes the outside world very pessimistic about the future of Stark Industries.

"Sir, Martin King is starting to unwind, but only a fraction."

The subordinate called to report to Bob.

Bob frowned: "How much is it flat?"

"With less than a third, he made another big fortune, this nouveau riche."

There was a little envy in the subordinate's tone.

"Don't worry about him, investigate how Stark Industries' weapons are sold to the Middle East. I saw a lot of incredible things there with my own eyes. You can take a look at the hard drive of the case I brought back, maybe it will give you some train of thought."

Bob hung up the phone, looked at the information on the phone and thought for a while: When Martin closes his position, he can buy another 100 million Stark shares, at worst, he will lose all his profits in the past two days.

It is not only Martin and Bob who pay attention to the stock price of Stark Industries, but more personal interests are those shareholders of Stark Industries, large and small.

As a representative of some of the shareholders, Obadiah Stein hurriedly found Tony Stark after appeasing some of the shareholders.

Through his intelligence channels in the Middle East, he guessed that Stark already had miniaturized reactor technology.

However, in the exhibition hall of the large ark reactor, when he saw Stark, he didn't ask about it first, but pretended to be angry and asked the teacher: "You did a good job!"

"I became the target of public criticism?"

"You? I am!"

Obadiah walked up and down irritably, "How much do you think the stock price will fall?"

"Optimistic estimate, 40 points."

"At least 40 points!"

"Yes."

"Tony! We're an arms manufacturer!"

"Obi, I just don't want to make money from arms!"

The two quarreled.

When Stark finally expressed his desire to develop the Ark Reactor, he also found that Obadiah seemed to have known it for a long time.

The opinions of the two reached a consensus again.

Stark shows Obadiah his own chest light.

Obadiah finally couldn't help smiling: "OK."

The big villain's face-changing skills were perfect, and his complexion immediately softened, and he helped Stark fasten the buttons.

"It works."

Stark said lightly.

"Yes! Listen to me, we've always been together, understand?"

Obadiah began to play the emotional card again: "As long as we work together, anything can be achieved, just like your father and I did back then."

The two temporarily reconciled.

But only temporarily.

Obadiah thought that Stark would use his invention for the company's profit as before.

However, this time Stark didn't want to take out his headlights.

He doesn't want his invention to become a money-making machine for some behind-the-scenes gangsters, and he doesn't want some people to use it to destroy peace.

Stark concentrates on making his own Mark 2, and in his spare time, he also designs an "inner height increase" for Martin.

And Obadiah couldn't wait.

In addition to helping Betty to build a laboratory these days, Martin is paying attention to the stock of Stark Industries.

Because he doesn't know whether the plot changed by himself will develop normally, and even if everything is normal, he can't judge the timing of those events.

Therefore, he made 1000 million and closed part of his position.

After waiting for a day, there is no good news, and it is still falling.

Martin found that he had made another 1000 million, so he simply closed part of his position.

After the stock price cut in half, he felt that he couldn't wait any longer, and finally liquidated all the funds he had bought.

Only then did he realize that his recent assets had reached [-] million!
Hey!
At this moment, he had a real feeling: he really became a billionaire!
I can afford to support Betty, a prodigal bitch.
