Rise of an Empire

After a while, butler Jarvis came in holding a small box.

Howard and his son are both super capable of causing trouble. In the Avengers, Tony Stark has created man-made crises several times, and Howard is no better than his son.

It is said that his laboratory was robbed once more than ten years ago, and the resulting missing items almost caused a crisis in the entire Manhattan.

Therefore, if these mad scientists are not optimistic, they will be irresponsible to all mankind.

Fortunately, the thing the other party held out this time didn't seem to be anything dangerous.

Howard opened the box casually, and something like a watch was revealed inside.

"This is a gadget I made more than ten years ago. Can Duke Wetting figure out what it is?"

Howard put the watch down on the table, and Natasha quickly stepped forward and took it over.

The old gangster took the opportunity to stare at the black widow's swaying ass. If it wasn't for her identity, he might have reached out and touched it.

Saying

How did he get the title of playboy with his lustful look?

Could it be that he was throwing money at it?

patter

Conrad gently opened the cover of the watch with his thumb, and saw a small twelve-button button inside the cover.

"Could it be that this is a watch that can communicate?" Conrad asked in slight surprise.

"Your Excellency really has a good eye. In these years, you are the second person who can see the purpose of this watch at a glance." Howard, who was still looking arrogant at first, finally started to look at Conrad seriously and praised.

Although this kind of person has a bad temper, one good thing is that if he really encounters a capable person, he will still take it seriously.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Howard had already manufactured mobile communication equipment a long time ago. Such a trick is just a trick." Conrad smiled bitterly and put the watch back on the table.

As expected, people will die when comparing with others, and goods will be thrown away when comparing goods.

Hedy Lamarr and Henry McCoy are already considered to be some of the smartest people in the world, but after three years of research, they have only come up with the prototype of a mobile phone, and even the most critical battery problem has not been solved yet. not solved.

But here, Howard casually tinkered with the latest watch-like mobile phone. The gap between the two is really too far.

Fortunately, Conrad knew that the old boy in front of him had a fatal flaw.

"Duke Wetting doesn't seem depressed." Howard was a little surprised. It is said that the other party spent a lot of time and money to manufacture mobile communication equipment, and now he has produced a top-notch mobile communication equipment. , it can be said bluntly that the investment made by the other party in the past few years has been completely wasted.

But he couldn't see any trace of decadence on Conrad's face, which was really surprising.

"Mr. Howard, I would like to ask, how much does this watch cost?" The Duke asked with a slight smile, pointing to the watch.

"This is a prototype machine. The cost is about 6 million. However, if it is mass-produced, I am confident that the cost will be limited to less than 2 million." Howard said proudly.

I knew it

Not only did Conrad shrug helplessly, but even Black Widow couldn't help but cover her lips.

It is estimated that the only one who can take it calmly is Jarvis, the butler who has been with Howard all year round.

With a cost price of two million, even with Conrad's current net worth, this thing would be timid to use, let alone promote.

Howard, this guy, has long been fond of making some jaw-dropping gadgets, and it may be because of the sensitive nerve in his heart that he only chooses expensive ones and not the right ones no matter what he makes.

So even though this old boy invented the anti-gravity system twenty years ago, because of the high cost, it was not until more than forty years later that the equipment was actually used.

"How many people in this world, Mr. Howard, think can use two million mobile phones?" Conrad knocked on the table and asked with a smile.

"At least a thousand people can afford it," Howard said with some disdain.

For him, a scumbag who can't even afford two million is not within his scope of consideration at all.

"If the mobile device I newly developed can be mass-produced, the cost will be controlled within three hundred US dollars each," the Duke said with a smile, pointing to the documents beside Howard.

Of course, according to calculations, if mobile phones can be mass-produced, the cost of each mobile phone will actually be as high as 80 US dollars, but anyway, Howard, this guy doesn't care about how much the raw materials cost, even if the estimate is quoted several times more He won't care either.

"Three hundred dollars." Howard was really moved this time. He picked up the document just now and read it carefully.

This time he looked at it for more than ten minutes before sighing slightly.

"The machine is too big, consumes power too quickly, and the signal source is very detrimental to aesthetics. Taking out such a thing is simply a blasphemy to science."

In minutes, Howard criticized the machine that had taken three years to build to a pulp. Even with Conrad's temper, he wanted to punch the opponent in the face.

This old boy deserves a beating

"But considering the cost, this toy is pretty good."

After mentioning dozens of shortcomings, Howard finally concluded reluctantly.

"Ahem." Conrad cleared his throat helplessly. He was really afraid that he would not be able to help but beat the other person. Now he finally understood Killian's mood at that time.

None of these Starks are good.

"Mr. Howard, it's like this. This new type of mobile phone still lacks a reliable power strip. I wonder if you can help design it."

There is no way, Hedy Lamarr's expertise is frequency hopping technology and radio, and the Beast guy is certainly an all-rounder, but he has been planning to enter Cao's camp for many years, and he is basically just a foreigner.

So up to now, although other aspects of mobile phone technology have been completed, the power board is still a bit unsatisfactory.

"You want to ask me to help you design a new type of battery." Howard was a little confused. What kind of medicine is this Duke of Wetting selling in the gourd?

To be honest, although he just dismissed this new type of mobile communication device as worthless, as a wealthy man with unique vision, Howard Stark can naturally see the huge business opportunities contained in it.

As soon as this kind of mobile communication device comes out, it will definitely dominate the market quickly. It will be easy to make more than one billion a year.
