Chapter 132: 200,000 US dollars a month, what are you doing with your life?
"Shit! shit! shit!"
In the office of the vice chairman of Stark Group, Obadi slammed the decorative vase on his desk to the ground, causing broken glass to scatter on the floor, with a fierce look on his face.
He promised Tony to help the Stark Group transform into energy, but that was just a temporary measure. He also thought that by delaying it, he could reverse Tony's idea.
Although the Ark Reactor may make far more money than military industry, how could the capitalists dislike themselves for making too much money?
But Obadi didn't expect that Tony would move so quickly and reach an agreement with that kid from the Osborne family to sell off the F22 manufacturing department at a low price.
This is a big piece of fat that originally belonged to the Stark Group and was given to Osborne. How could Obadi not be angry?
"Osborne!!"
Obadi roared:
"This matter will never be settled like this!"
Although Tony is still the chairman of Stark Group, Obadi has already regarded Stark Group as his own, so F22 is sold at a low price, and it is not the flesh of Stark Group. , what was cut was the flesh on Obadi’s body, and he was now in pain to the bone.
"You will definitely pay the price for taking advantage of me!"
Just when Obadi was thinking about how to respond to Osborne, another unknown phone call came.
"Hello, my dear Obadi, I'm back again."
The familiar mechanical voice and intonation instantly brought Obadi back to his past.
"Again?"
Obadi's eyes widened.
Labor and capital have already extorted 3 billion US dollars from you, and you want to extort me again. Do you have any humanity left?
You can't just pluck a sheep until it dies.
"You Hydra want to fight me to the death, right?"
Obadi said with a gloomy face:
"Do you really think I dare not report the existence of your Hydra to those official departments?"
A small number of the top dignitaries in the United States are actually aware of the existence of Hydra, such as Darren Krause, CEO of Pym Technology, Dario Ager of Roxon Group, and directors of Japan's Yashida Industries Nagaya Shida Ichiro also has a close relationship with Madam Hydra. It can be said that the existence of Hydra is not absolutely secret. The reason why Nick Fury does not know about it is because the real name of SHIELD is Snake Shield. Nick Fury Rui has long been trapped in an information cocoon.
"My dear Obadi, you are mistaken. We are not here to blackmail you this time, but to make a deal with you."
Bai Ye smiled slightly.
Bai Ye had planned before that when Tony returned to New York, he would blackmail Obadi again.
The time has come, hasn’t it? ?
Mars Military, a new company founded by Bai Ye, has just jointly acquired the F22 manufacturing department of Stark Group with Osborne Group. Bai Ye invested US$15 billion and Osborne Group invested US$10 billion. By the way, Osborne Group also invested the original Some small arms companies under its own umbrella were merged into Mars Military Industry. Since then, Baiye's Galaxy Group has held 51% of the shares of Mars Military Industry, and the Osborne Group has held 49% of the shares of Mars Military Industry.
Based on the relationship between Bai Ye and the Osborne Group, it is impossible for the Osborne Group's investment to interfere with his control over the Mars military industry, and also make Bai Ye lose a lot of money. Why wouldn't he do it?
It's just that 15 billion US dollars in cash have just been paid out, and Bai Ye is almost out of pocket. It's time to find Obadi to get some money to restore blood.
In addition, when Bai Ye pushed for Mars Military to acquire the F22 manufacturing department, Obadi, a veteran, also jumped out and caused a lot of trouble. If Tony and Norman Osborn were not powerful enough, Bai Ye might not be able to do that. Smoothly control a military industrial enterprise with a valuation of nearly 30 billion US dollars.
Can't I help Obadi's two big guys to relieve their hatred this white night?
"You and I, Hydra, have nothing to do with each other. As long as you don't bother me, we will keep our peace." Obadi said with a threat in his tone: "If you still want to continue to exploit me, then we Let’s go to hell together.”
Obadi is not the kind of person who is so weak that he can be manipulated by others. The reason why he was blackmailed out of money the first two times is that he has almost absolute confidence that he can catch the person who blackmailed him and let the other party take the money. He spat it out so sharply, who could have expected that he would meet such a cheater as Bai Ye.
Now that Obadi knows that the person who blackmailed him is Hydra, he naturally understands that the methods he plans to deal with ordinary people will not have any effect on Hydra. If he takes out the money, it will be in vain. Send money to Hydra.
"I have given you 3 billion US dollars, you should be satisfied. People who are too greedy will play with fire and burn themselves."
"Mr. Obadi, you really misunderstood us. We are sincerely here to make a deal with you this time." Bai Ye said: "Can you please patiently listen to what I have to say first?"
"you say."
Obadie was noncommittal.
"There is no airtight wall in this world." Bai Ye smiled slightly and said: "Since you dare to instruct the Ten Rings Gang to attack Tony Stark, then you should understand that this secret cannot be kept forever. Sooner or later it will be If Tony Stark knows about it, then with your status and influence, if you have a head-on confrontation with Tony Stark, you will definitely be the one who dies."
Obadi said coldly: "What do you want to say?"
Bai Ye: "What I want to say is that Mr. Obadi is probably secretly preparing a plan to get rid of Tony Stark, right?"
Obadi was silent.
If you say yes, it's not good, if you say no, you're treating others as fools.
Obadi is indeed preparing to kill Tony, and then take the position himself. Otherwise, if he spends time with Tony, a person who will kill him as long as he knows the truth, Obadi will suffer a lot, and he will be frightened every day. .
When it comes to killing Tony and seizing the Stark Group, you either don't do it or you have to do it absolutely. Is there any reason to give up halfway if you do it halfway?
It just so happened that Tony himself made a fool of himself and wanted to close down the Stark Group's military industry department. This offended a large number of Stark Group shareholders and stakeholders in the military-industrial complex, which created great convenience for Obadi.
Bai Ye: "But Mr. Obadi, although Tony Stark's current behavior has offended many people, it has also won the support of other people, such as... big companies who want to buy other military products of the Stark Group. Arms dealer, do you really think you can settle everything after killing Tony Stark and replace him smoothly?"
Obadi said indifferently: "I can provide more valuable products to Stark Group's shareholders and allies. As long as I can still make money for them, they will not give up on me."
"Haha." Bai Ye laughed and said: "Mr. Obadi, you seem to be too confident. Yes, the Ark Reactor represents a lot of money, but why don't everyone just use you to kill Tony Stark as an excuse to come again?" What about killing you and dividing up the benefits of the Ark Reactor? The Ark Reactor is already there. Is it a big difference if you are with or without you? You are not irreplaceable. If you have Tony Stark's brain, That's pretty much it. And you clearly don't."
"..."
Obadi frowned and thought. Although Bai Ye's words didn't sound good, they still made some sense. Can he really ensure that he would not be counterattacked by then?
The Ark Reactor represents too many interests. I don’t know how many jackals and tigers will covet it. It is difficult for him to carry it with his small body. Only Tony, who can continue to develop the Ark Reactor in depth, can control the words. the possibility of rights.
"What do you want to trade with me?" Obadi thought about it for a long time and then softened his tone: "Do you want me to accept the protection of your Hydra?"
"Nonono, how do we, Hydra, have any qualifications to protect you? Mr. Obadi, you are the top rich man in the United States." Bai Ye smiled and said: "We are here to make a deal with you so that you can keep your things."
Without waiting for Obadi to ask questions, Bai Ye continued:
"You should also know the whole process of Tony Stark's rescue, then you must know that Tony Stark fell into the hands of the Ten Rings Gang and almost managed to escape on his own because he He created a super weapon, a steel armor. But when he ran away, he didn't consider that the blueprints for making that armor fell into our hands."
Speaking of this matter, Bai Ye also wanted to complain. The terrorists from the Ten Rings Gang were so illiterate. Tony even put the drawings of the steel armor in front of them. They couldn't understand what Tony was making. Only when The terrorist leader turned the blueprint over and realized that Tony was making a battle armor. They were really a group of stupid terrorists who were not contaminated by knowledge and had clear eyes.
"You want to sell me the blueprints of the steel armor developed by Tony?"
Obadi's eyes flashed.
"Yes, Mr. Obadi, this world will belong to the era of technological armors and extraordinary abilities in the future." Bai Ye said: "Just like the Green Goblin armor of Osborne Group, the Wasp armor of Pym Technology, and The steel armor made by Tony Stark using the Ark Reactor. Only such a cross-era weapon that combines offensive and defensive power can allow you to quickly possess your own powerful power and avoid being exploited by others."
"Since you said it so well, why do you Hydra still sell this kind of thing to me?"
"Because we are missing something crucial, and it is useless to just hold this thing."
"Ark Reactor?"
"Yes, without the Ark Reactor as energy support, this blueprint can only produce a pile of scrap iron. Only you, Mr. Obadi, can maximize its value."
Bai Ye complimented.
Obadi feels comfortable listening to this. The Ark Reactor is his, the Steel Armor is his, and the Stark Group is also his. Only he can maximize the value of all this.
"How much do you want to sell?"
"$5 billion!"
"How much did you say?" Obadi's mentality almost exploded: "Five billion U.S. dollars? Do you Hydra use U.S. dollars as a piece of paper to wipe your ass? How can I still give you 5 billion U.S. dollars? Don't forget Yes, you have extorted 3 billion US dollars from me before."
"Mr. Obadi, stop pretending, this is the most reasonable number we have calculated." Bai Ye said quietly: "When you sent Tony Stark to die in Afghanistan, you started shorting Tony Stark. Group, right? You made a lot of money from this short sale. And we didn’t say that all of our 5 billion US dollars would be in cash. It’s not impossible for you to pledge some Stark Group shares. ah."
"You still want my shares?"
Obadi's lungs nearly exploded with rage.
Hydra is going to kill him. The share price of Stark Group has plummeted, and its market value is only over 170 billion US dollars. The value of the shares in his hands has also dropped a lot. If he uses it as a mortgage of 5 billion US dollars, it is It will empty him out.
"Mr. Obadi, calm down, please calm down! As long as you kill Tony Stark, the only child of the Stark family, they will be extinct. Without the complainant, the inheritance belongs to Tony Stark. , if you just make a will or something, wouldn’t it all be yours? Then you’re afraid that you won’t be able to repay our Hydra’s money and you won’t be able to get the shares you pledged?”
Bai Ye said:
"When you ascend to the throne of the Stark Group later, with one hand holding the Ark Reactor, the money printing machine, and the other hand holding the Steel Armor, the nuclear bomb, you will have the final say in the entire United States from now on. ! What Morgan, what Rockefeller, what Roxon, how many divisions do they have? Are they richer than you, can they compare with the Ark Reactor? Can they compare with your absolute strength, can they be stronger than steel armor? "
What Bai Ye said made Obadi feel a little excited. He couldn't help but imagine that he would step on Morgan, punch Rockefeller, and then become the uncrowned king of the United States. This would be so cool.
"So, the US$5 billion given to us by Hydra is a necessary upfront investment, and you will reap tenfold or hundredfold returns later." Bai Ye said with enthusiasm: "As long as US$5 billion, you can't afford to suffer a loss. Don’t be fooled! Just 5 billion US dollars can get you to the top of your life! What are you waiting for?”
"..." Obadi: "Five billion dollars is too much."
"Is this still a lot? It's only the price of 10 F22s, right? What does this amount of money mean to you, Mr. Obadi?" Bai Ye said: "Well... you said, if I hold the steel armor The blueprints and the truth about the man behind the attack on him, go to Tony Stark and ask for 5 billion US dollars, will he agree to the deal?"
Obadi was furious.
After all, Hydra still didn't give up threatening him.
"If Mr. Obadi goes to prison, no matter how much money or shares you have, it may be useless. How long can you survive in prison? Even if Tony Stark misses his old love , but Mr. Obadi, you have many enemies yourself over the years, right?"
Bai Ye gave Obadi two choices. One was to accept the deal and spend 5 billion US dollars to settle matters. Once Obadi really took control of the Stark Group, the evidence in Bai Ye's hands would no longer threaten Obadi. And the other one, Obadi refused to pay, then the evidence about Obadi's attack on Tony Stark would be spread everywhere, and Obadi would completely lose the opportunity to play at the poker table.
He continued to recite the jingle in a seductive tone: "Bet, and the bicycle will become a motorcycle; bet, and the motorcycle will become a Jeep. Play hard, and the Jeep will become a Martin; give it a try, and the loess will become gold."
…
"Haha, I got another 5 billion US dollars. It's so easy to make money."
Bai Ye sat in his office and laughed.
In the end, Obadi gave away the money. It was not that Obadi had a low IQ and would be deceived many times in a row, but that he had no choice. His sunk costs were already too high and he could not afford to lose. If he did not One last push and he's dead.
In desperation, he could only choose to seek skin from the tiger and act as an ally of "Hydra".
As for Bai Ye, besides making money, he also has another purpose - to get the Iron Overlord out so that Bai Ye can start a new round of missions.
Bai Ye’s sand sculpture system makes it difficult to trigger tasks independently. Bai Ye basically works hard to create the conditions.
Vultures, lizardmen, now it's the Iron Overlord's turn.
"Hmm...that bitch Tony is working hard on his Mark II armor. Shouldn't I also find a way to upgrade the Blue Devil's armor?"
Bai Ye is thinking.
In the past, the biggest obstacle that restricted the further development of Blue Devil Armor was higher-level energy. Now, isn't the Ark Reactor coming out?
Just as Bai Ye said to Obadi, a steel armor without the Ark Reactor is just a pile of scrap metal, which shows the effectiveness of the Ark Reactor.
And Bai Ye's Blue Devil armor is upgraded and transformed using the Ark Reactor, which will definitely increase its strength.
But there is a problem, that is, Tony doesn't seem to want the Ark Reactor to leak out. Perhaps he is worried that others can use it to mass-produce steel armor, so when Bai Ye prepares to purchase several Ark Reactors from Tony to modify his own Blue Devil armor, At that time, Tony declined. He joked that Bai Ye's Blue Devil armor was already strong enough, and if he used it in the Ark Reactor, wouldn't he be beaten?
"Tch, if you don't sell it to me, there's nothing I can do about it? If you're in the first grade of junior high school, don't blame me for being in the fifteenth grade."
Bai Ye thought of Ivan Vanke.
The Ark Reactor was not created by Tony's father, Howard Stark, alone, but by him and Ivan Vanko's father, Anthony Vanko. After Tony miniaturized the Ark Reactor, coincidentally, Ivan Vanko created the Ark Reactor. Van Vanke also did this, which directly led to the birth of the villain Ivan the Whip.
Tony wants to eat alone with the Ark Reactor. Maybe he has more ideas, but what he shows is that he is ready to eat alone. So Bai Ye doesn't want to spoil him anymore. He can go find Ivan Vanko and take away a big piece from Tony. cake.
"Ivan Vanke also has good mechanical talent. He can create an army of mechanical soldiers. He can just come over and help me further develop the Blue Devil armor."
Bai Ye touched his chin and said:
"Cold fusion has endless miraculous uses. In addition to being an extremely huge energy market, this high-end energy has endless miraculous uses in many places."
Take S.H.I.E.L.D., for example. Many of their black technologies actually come from refining the energy emitted by the Rubik's Cube, just like Wakanda's technological civilization, which is built on vibranium.
As for the Quinjet, it uses special energy extracted from the Universe Rubik's Cube.
Anyone familiar with aircraft design and construction knows that the design of the Quinjet is very unscientific. The lift engine is generally installed in the middle of the aircraft's fuselage, which can maintain the stability of the fuselage to the greatest extent. The Quinjet installs the lift engine on the wing, which increases the load on the wing and makes the wing more susceptible to damage or even breakage. It is even more unrealistic for a fighter jet weighing more than 20 tons to take off just by relying on two lift engines on the wings. In terms of aircraft appearance, the Quinjet uses contra-angled wings. This design is completely unrealistic in reality. Impossible.
So why can the Quinjet still fly and its performance is so impressive? It's all because of the existence of unscientific high-end energy like the Universe Rubik's Cube energy.
As long as the World Security Council controls the source of the Cube's energy, it will not be afraid that the Quinjet Fighter will be abused.
The Quinjet itself is not an artifact used for air combat like the F22, so there are so many counterintuitive designs.
In actual air combat, the Quinjet will not be the opponent of the F22. Visual stealth is meaningless. The aircraft will not end well if it is visually stealthy at this speed. Whose fighter fights within visual range... So it can only be used as For transport aircraft. The Quinjet has never demonstrated its air combat capabilities, and it has never demonstrated its ability to carry out ground bombing. It is basically a self-defense weapon for transport aircraft. It is basically impossible for fighter jets to take off and land vertically, which seriously wastes bomb load and dispatch time.
Therefore, the Quinjet seems to be full of black technology, but it is just a black technology piled up with high-end energy from the Cosmic Rubik's Cube. It is subject to various restrictions while it is still being designed and built. It is not very outstanding in combat, only ordinary. The most important function of weapons is still on the ground, water and air, with unlimited travel. It is an excellent transport aircraft. If we really talk about air combat, it has to be the F22.
In addition, the energy extraction of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube is not so smooth. The most it can produce can only be used by S.H.I.E.L.D., and no more. It is impossible for Quinjet technology to be leaked to other governments, because this is the same as SHIELD. A steel armor without the energy of the Ark Reactor is just the same as a pile of scrap metal.
Even in the Marvel world, the F22 is still the most powerful fighter jet. Just like Tony just got the Mark III and went to Afghanistan to take revenge. As a result, he ran into the F22 from the Afghan base on the way back to the city. If it weren't for Luo De recognized the person inside the steel armor, which was probably Tony, and ordered to slow down the attack pace. Tony was almost shot down by the F22 at a ratio of 1:2. Iron Man did not die in the hands of terrorists, but died in the hands of terrorists. If it falls into the hands of the US military, it would be a big joke.
Bai Ye was thinking about going to the polar bears and looking for Ivan Vanke and his son, but he received a call from Andy. Maya Hansen was ready to take a risk.
"Alas!" Bai Ye lit up a cigarette, took a puff, and shook his head: "200,000 US dollars a month, what are you trying to do with your life?"
