Hex Technology Tycoon of American Comics
Chapter 82 Black Widow’s Question
Almost before Tony could finish speaking, Obadiah stood up and planned to interrupt Tony, but he was extremely determined and finished what he wanted to say completely -
For a time, the press conference was buzzing with people!
After saying all this, Tony felt his head was hot. Of course, he didn't forget to add a few words.
Like something like "Of course, that will have to wait until I have enough power to decide the future of the company" or something like that.
However, no matter how calm he said it afterwards, nothing could compare to the decision he made when his head was hot. Stark Industries, the entire New York, and even the entire United States were as hot as his head!
In the hour after the press conference alone, Stark Industries stock fell forty points!
Hundreds of millions of market values evaporated instantly, and the momentum is getting stronger!
The shareholders of Stark Industries were in a panic, and Obadiah was completely confused, but Carl was very relaxed.
After all, he is a non-controller - not yet.
"It's hard to believe that Mr. Stark just a few months ago was cheerfully rebutting anyone who accused him of producing weapons.
And as far as I can see, he really thought his weapons were necessary, and now..."
Blitz kept replaying Tony's interview videos and rebuttals from a few months ago, trying to analyze something.
But the more he analyzed it, the more he discovered that the current Tony Stark and the previous Tony Stark were simply not the same person.
This transformation is so sudden and complete that it leaves people scratching their heads.
"This is human beings - one month is enough to change a person, as long as the stimulation is enough."
"So sir, this is the part I'm most curious about. How did you predict Mr. Stark's change? This is simply more uncontrollable than buying a lottery ticket."
Blitzcrank became more and more curious about his master.
Where did Carl's source of information come from?
"Magic." Carl muttered. "Just like I made you, this is magic."
"Okay, shall we start acquiring Stark Industries stock now?"
"You can start doing it first, but the stock will continue to fall, so buy it as appropriate first, and the big head is still behind."
Karl kicked the table and slid to the edge.
It would be normal for Stark Industries' stock to fall by at least seventy or eighty US dollars, and it is very possible for it to fall by more than $100.
And when Tony admits that he is Iron Man, these stocks will rise back to their original positions, or even exceed them by a lot.
That's a good time to cut leeks.
If it is done well, the more than 800 million US dollars that Carl has on hand can exceed tens of millions in an instant, and may even reach hundreds of millions!
Again, it’s 2008, and there are many things the U.S. dollar can do.
Karl looked up. The view of the Stark Industries Building was very charming, and he could see almost all the famous landmarks in Manhattan.
"Now we can start thinking about where to buy the company building, and I think that one is pretty good."
"Sir, that's Lehman Brothers' property, and the building isn't very high."
"I know, but Lehman Brothers is going out of business, and I just want the land under their building."
"Well, I'll remember to put this on the memo: find a suitable piece of city land."
“So understanding.”
"Thank you for the compliment, sir. Ms. Northman is requesting a call. Do you want to answer?"
"Go on."
Karl readily agreed to answer the call - Northman was also Natasha. This was her pseudonym, and there was no need to reveal it.
As soon as she answered the phone, Natasha asked directly: "Do you know?"
"What do I know?"
"Stark is going to shut down the weapons manufacturing department! You know this, so you have been preparing the arms company!
Those new explosives, those unconventional weapons...you knew about it all along!You must tell me how you know all this, otherwise I will now..."
"Just arrest me?" Karl covered his forehead helplessly, "Madam, did you make a mistake? How could I know?
As for the company issue you mentioned, as an inventor, is it normal for me to open my own company?
And since you have been working for me during this period, you should know that the company I established is not only for the arms business, but also for a large number of medical experimental projects. "
"So you tell me that with such a powerful product, your main business is biomedicine? Do I look like a child?"
"You do act like a child, Ms. Northman, didn't you investigate me before contacting me?
Don’t you know that I was admitted to the hospital after being attacked before, and then was diagnosed with a terminal illness? "
Karl's tone became more and more impatient.
Natasha's tone faltered at the rebuke - of course she knew.
The hospital Carl was staying in at the time was not a confidential hospital, so it was easy for SHIELD to obtain information.
According to the report in the information, Carl can only live for a year or two at most - this is why Nick Fury values Carl.
A young man with an active mind, powerful weapons, and terminal illness... God knows what he will do at the end of his life?
This is why, although Carl's behavior is not decent in the opinion of SHIELD, Nick and Natasha do not think Carl is morally despicable.
This is a dying man, and he can be considered to have a high moral level without any wanton indulgence.
"So... all of this is a coincidence?" Natasha asked suspiciously, "And as far as we know, Stark's experience in Afghanistan is also somewhat fishy, so maybe this is the same thing.
And as Stark Industries stops producing weapons, domestic anti-war factions will gradually emerge... Are you so lucky? "
Karl's face was stern: "Agent, do you really want me to die?"
"That's not what I meant..." Natasha was a little speechless, feeling that the picture was getting darker and darker, so she decisively changed her posture and winked at Karl.
"Okay, this is my problem. I shouldn't doubt you. I owe you once. What do you want?"
"You can't give me what I want. Agent - what happened to the thing I entrusted you with?"
"Relationships have been established, and contracts and various treaties have been passed on. As long as you sign, your company will officially complete the reorganization.
Of course, you also need a stylish office space, otherwise it would make people laugh if an arms company's registered address was a shabby apartment. "
"I need to review them before signing." Karl motioned for Blitz to start reviewing these documents.
I have to say that it is really a headache to review legally binding documents.
Natasha sent a total of hundreds of pages of dense documents. If Karl were to review them by himself, it would not be unusual for him to be tricked.
After receiving the documents, Karl continued: "Since Stark has decided to close the weapons manufacturing department, domestic public opinion will also undergo some changes.
I'm going to get in touch with him and maybe he can help us with Frank's problem. "
"Let's get in touch to determine whether the CEO of the world's largest arms dealer has become a humanitarian? Do you think this is true?"
"Good question." Karl did not answer the question immediately, "But I think... Mr. Stark is indeed different."
Moreover, the direction of the entire Eagle Country is also changing, from main war to anti-war, in just a few years.
Natasha nodded secretly after hearing this, and she thought so too.
"Okay, no matter what, we have to continue to push forward and help me investigate several trustworthy newspapers."
“This service is free and it’s compensation~”
After saying that, Natasha hung up the phone.
Now we are advancing on both sides. When the whole incident ends, it will also be the time when Hex Technology will be launched.
Sitting in the office, Karl thought: If he guessed correctly, he would receive another call soon.
Sure enough, not long after, Blitz prompted: "Sir, Mr. Obadiah is requesting a call."
"Connect."
As soon as the call was connected, Karl saw Obadiah's big bald head and his subtle expression.
"Karl, I have a... big project at hand right now. It's top secret. I want to transfer you to this project team. Is there any problem?"
"of course not."
"Very good, these are the weapon fragments we collected. Your workplace is in Area 16. These data will be destroyed after reading. We will tell you the details when you arrive."
A set of data was transmitted to Karl's work computer, and Karl nodded slightly.
"I understand, boss, I'll be there soon."
