Chapter 68 - Joining the Board of Directors of Stark Industries and Subduing Fastos
More than a week has passed since the events of Alithem and the Eternals.
Huang Yuan is still living a simple and comfortable life in the state prison.
"Mysterious humanoid robots appear in the Middle East to kill terrorists?"
Looking at the headlines of the newspaper in his hand, Huang Yuan took a sip of milk and couldn't help but smacked his lips and said: "It seems that that classic scene will appear again soon."
That is a scene that a Marvel movie fan must see after traveling to Marvel.
It can be said that that scene truly announced the rise of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the snap of the Avengers also heralded the decline of a dynasty after it reached its peak.
Jingle bell bell~
The bell rang and Huang Yuan answered the video call.
"Johnny, you won't interrupt my vacation without good news, right?"
In the video, Johnny beamed and said: "You know me best, boss."
"Yes, just this morning, we signed an equity transfer agreement with three of Stark's shareholders, and now we hold 23% of the equity of Stark Group."
"In terms of shareholding structure, we are already the third largest shareholder of the group."
Huang Yuan nodded and asked, "How much did it cost?"
Johnny reported without hesitation: "It cost a total of 11.7 billion U.S. dollars, boss, but they were originally worth more than 30 billion U.S. dollars!"
Huang Yuan asked: "Is it possible to continue the acquisition?"
Johnny's expression softened and he said: "Boss, I don't recommend that you continue the acquisition, because it is difficult to continue the acquisition regardless of the absolute control of the group or the current changes in the situation."
"How much equity does the Stark family have?" Huang Yuan asked.
"Tony Stark holds 39% of the original equity, and Obadiah Stane holds 13% of the original equity."
Johnny analyzed step by step: "That is to say, as long as the two of them are still there, no one can take away the controlling stake of the group."
"And in addition to the 7% that must be circulated in the market for the remaining 25% of the shares, the owners of the remaining 18% are more or less Obadiah's allies."
"Now Obadiah has set his sights on us. If we continue to acquire, it is likely to cause the other party to launch a strategic counterattack."
"Okay, let's acquire this first." Huang Yuan hummed.
23% of the equity is enough. At least the group cannot avoid him if it wants to make decisions.
Johnny suddenly said: "By the way, boss, when I was purchasing stocks, I met an organization with the same purpose as ours."
"Oh, what information is there?" Huang Yuan probably guessed who it was.
Johnny replied: "They didn't care at all how much the offer was, and they ate up all those orders like hungry ghosts. If we hadn't increased the offer and made strategic adjustments, we might have only received less than 16% of the equity."
"Don't pay attention to those people. Even if they offer us a high price to acquire them, just ignore them. Just treat them as if they don't exist."
Huang Yuan continued: "When the Stark Group is going to hold a meeting, you ask a professional manager to go in my place. Don't reveal my identity unless necessary."
Huang Yuan naturally knows what those desperate people at SHIELD want to do.
"Okay, boss."
Johnny then continued: "Boss, the second thing is that Mr. Fastos has come to the company. How do you want to arrange it?"
Huang Yuan said directly: "Choose a place for him to set up a laboratory. All funds will be given to him as long as he asks. If you want to buy anything, you can buy it directly without my consent."
"Huh?" Johnny was stunned for a moment.
"Unless he wants your life, you must support him unconditionally no matter what he does, understand?" Huang Yuan said in a serious tone.
"Yes, boss!" Johnny replied immediately.
The boss's orders are God's and he only needs to support and execute them. He is in charge of money anyway.
After hanging up the phone, Fastos' communication request came immediately.
"Yuan, I've arrived." Fastos said with a smile.
"I've already told Johnny that if you need anything, just ask him," Huang Yuan said.
"Thank you for your support, what do you need me to do for you?" Fastos asked after thanking him.
"Fastus, I don't need you to do anything for me, but I want you to do it yourself." Huang Yuan said solemnly.
"This?" Fastos was a little confused.
Huang Yuan had previously asked him to come to the company to help him if he had nothing to do.
Fastos thought Huang Yuan wanted to use his power to help him develop something.
"Fastos!"
Huang Yuan said seriously: "I asked you to come because I don't want your talent to be used in repairing bicycles. Now they can all do what they want to do, why can't you?"
"But, you pay me a salary, but I..." Fastos hesitated.
"But the company and I have a share in what you have researched, right? So the company should pay you a salary," Huang Yuan explained.
"So, no matter what you want to study, I will not interfere, and I will even fully support you."
"If you don't have any research projects yet, I still have a cooperative research project at Lex Group. You can go there to participate in the research on the Krypton spacecraft."
"If you don't like to be disturbed, I can ask Lex Luthor to give you a place in a separate research project team. You just need to be responsible to me."
Fastos pursed his lips, his eyes flickered slightly and said: "I really didn't expect, Yuan, that you would be willing to support me like this. No one has ever treated me like you, never."
Huang Yuantai knew very well that since his arrival on Earth, Faustos's research had been restricted by Ajak.
Ajak could only restrain his research talent and recommend those backward inventions to mankind.
What does this look like?
It's like a tiger's mouth and claws are bound, and a bird's wings are bound!
This feeling can be extremely frustrating, and it has lasted for nearly ten thousand years, which distorted Fastos's mind.
So even after leaving the organization, Fastos only chose to repair bicycles instead of interfering in the development of human science and technology.
It is obvious that his mind has been affected, and Huang Yuan needs to break this shackles.
What Huang Yuan wants is his completely unfettered performance, no matter what he studies, as long as it can promote the development of human science and technology.
After all, in front of the universe, which is actually the three great empires of the Virgo Super Galaxy Cluster, the level of human science and technology is really pitiful.
No, he looked extremely pitiful even in front of the Qidari people.
If it weren't for the special characteristics of the earth and how well protected it is, it would have been robbed by space pirates time and time again.
"Okay, if you have any difficulties, you can go to Johnny. If he can't solve it, you can go to me. I welcome your news at any time." Huang Yuan finally gave him an encouraging fist.
After making the call, Huang Yuan stepped into the gravity chamber.
After pressing the case, the red light flashed and the tyrannical gravity directly pressed down.
And looking at the gravity multiplier displayed on the screen, it has reached 18 times.
Chapter completed!
