"Anyway, I didn't say we can build it right away. If making missiles were that easy, wouldn't it be more cost-effective for them to just find a few college students? By the way, ask Happy to bring me a few cheeseburgers when he comes over." Tony Stark said as he entered the underground laboratory.
Looking at the Batman videos projected on the screens on the wall, he said in annoyance, "This guy beat more than 200 gangsters to a pulp in one night, but he didn't leave any live footage. Such a cautious character is really boring. What's the point of hiding your head and showing your tail? If it were me, I would show my face directly on the live TV and tell everyone that I am Tony Stark!"
Having said that, Tony still felt complicated when he saw Batman rushing up from the outer wall of the building and catching Pepper who accidentally fell from the building.
He always felt that he was being shown off by some pretentious guy.
Even though he was disparaging, he had to admit that Batman's technical skills were not bad.
Tony's disparagement is all based on his own level and resources.
And Tony, who considers himself the smartest genius on earth, does he think there is anyone better than him
Besides, Batman hasn't revealed any clear clues so far, which is enough to show that his armor is most likely a purely DIY work.
If Tony wants to make a battle armor, especially one that includes cutting-edge technology, his shopping list cannot be hidden from anyone who is interested.
Batman's equipment doesn't seem to have high technological content, but its source is kept completely secret, which may be the reason why it is so simple.
Tony still believes that Batman is deliberately hiding all information about himself.
It felt like there was no evidence, but he was convinced that he had seen through this stuffy, pretentious bastard.
"Batman, just wait!" Tony murmured, "Wait until my armor comes out, and then I'll catch you and take off your mask."
As he spoke, his eyes turned to a place not far away from him where a set of silver humanoid armor had already taken shape. There were still a lot of parts that needed to be tested and then equipped with suitable components.
As long as this set of armor is completed, he is confident that he can easily capture Batman and even make fun of this pretentious criminal.
Thinking of this, Tony was inspired again. He opened up a series of brilliant light screens and continued to work.
…
In the following days, Luke and his wife's life returned to normal.
During this time, Luke received a call from Weiland, who invited him to do a private job again.
Although Luke was tempted by the location of the private job that Weiland told him, he finally refused.
The Amazon jungle is not a peaceful place. The key is that it takes a long time to get in and out, conservatively estimated to be three to six weeks.
Los Angeles is now a good time to score points, and Luke even plans to make Batman a living target to cover up the news of the Ghost Butcher.
This was to accumulate strength for his upcoming life as a New York detective, so he did not take on this private job, even though Weiland offered a sky-high price of five million.
Still, Luke gave Weiland a phone number and assured him it would be a good choice.
The prerequisite is that the money cannot be too little, starting from one million, and it is best to pay half of the deposit in advance.
After receiving Luke's suggestion, Weiland finally did not return empty-handed.
Although his investigation showed that a certain person had many bad habits, he had a good reputation in the industry and was definitely an example of doing the best job for the money he was paid.
Luke is not the kind of person who speaks without thinking, and Weiland will not go there in person this time.
Since it was just a matter of spending some money, he dialed the number.
A day later, a private jet flew directly from Los Angeles to Brazil in South America.
Apart from this incident, Ginny's mobile phone company has already taken shape. Luke has visited it several times and solved the debugging problems of the production line.
What surprised Luke even more was that Ginny had secured the support of the Weyland Group and facilitated the group's decision to build a wireless network.
When Luke put his arm around her and asked her how she did it, Ginny chuckled and said, "I didn't say you were the big boss, but I said I had a close relationship with you. Chairman Weyland quickly arranged a meeting. You probably aren't interested in hearing about other things, so I won't go into detail, but Weyland showed great interest in the combination of wireless networks and smartphones..."
Having said this, she hesitated.
Luke looked at her expression and smiled, "What else is going on?"
Ginny hesitated for a moment, and then said, "But Chairman Weiland wants to invest in our mobile phone company."
Luke raised an eyebrow: "How much?"
Ginny chuckled, "Based on our cash investment and shareholding ratio, my total valuation for the mobile phone company is 2 billion US dollars, and he wants 30-50% of the shares."
Luke groaned, "Is the valuation of our mobile phone company so high?"
Ginny sighed, "If there was already a wireless network, I would multiply this valuation several times. Old man Weyland is very smart. Now we have completed most of the preliminary work. What is missing is the wireless network and large-scale marketing in front of the boss. Weyland Company can make money directly after joining."
Luke nodded. He didn't know much about business and he didn't plan to delve into it.
After a moment's hesitation, he said, "We can give in to the investment capital, but we will try to keep his share as low as possible, to 10-20% at most. If he doesn't want to, forget it. At most, we can report the construction of the wireless network to multiple companies. As I said, business is business."
Ginny breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Luke would open his mouth and directly agree to give up a large number of shares, which would be extremely detrimental to the company's future financing and operation.
She is the president of this mobile phone company, and Luke, the actual majority shareholder, does not care about the matter. Any action that weakens his shares will weaken her rights, so of course she has to be careful.
After solving this big problem, she raised another big unresolved question: "Now, what should we call our mobile phones? We can't call them Cosmic Cube phones, right? It sounds a bit awkward and hard to remember."
Luke was surprised: "Apple, didn't we talk about this last time?"
Ginny was annoyed: "Can you be serious? Such a groundbreaking smartphone, and you actually call it an Apple? Even the logo has been chewed? Are you implying to our users that the new phone they bought is a second-hand product?"
Luke: … But this second-hand Apple was worth hundreds of billions in the previous life, dominating the high-end mobile phone market worldwide!
With a depressed feeling of not being recognized, Luke still agreed to the mobile phone brand timet that Ginny chose!
Translated into Chinese it roughly means... titanium phone.
Luke couldn't complain about this. As long as Ginny liked the name, that was fine. As for the crappy apple, let it go with the wind.
But thinking of the ugly bald man holding a mobile phone in an advertisement in his previous life, he decided that when titanium mobile phones came out in the future, he would get an unbranded high-end imitation and would never use the genuine titanium mobile phone.
