Marvel's Conscience

"I told you, in fact, my escape this time was actually rescued by Ye Ye, the chairman of Umbrella Group."

"Yes, you said that." Obadi said patiently: "But what does this have to do with why Umbrella Group owns the technology of the Ark Reactor?"

Cutting-edge technology like the Ark Reactor is destined to be impossible to apply for a patent.

Patent rights have a protection period, usually 20 years in major industrial countries, after which the public can use them freely.

In addition to the protection period, there is another problem with patents: if applying for a patent, the applicant needs to fully disclose the invention and formula, not only to the patent office, but also to the whole society after a certain period of time.

Trade secrets are different. The protection of trade secrets has no time limit. The premise is that the information has commercial value and the right holder has taken reasonable protective measures, such as confidentiality agreements, passwords, access cards, etc. It is illegal for others to steal the information. There may even be criminal liability.

It's like the formula of Coca-Cola has always been locked in the safe at the company's headquarters and has not been patented at all.

For the Ark Reactor, Stark Group firmly believes that its technical barriers can withstand all covetous efforts.

However, if Umbrella Group makes a breakthrough in Ark Reactor technology, Stark Group cannot prevent Umbrella Group from commercializing it this time.

"Because Umbrella has not only developed a miniaturized Ark Reactor, but they have also developed an exoskeleton armor powered by the Ark Reactor."

"I was rescued by Ye Ye driving this kind of armor." Tony shrugged: "Ye Ye came to my office just now mainly to seek cooperation between the two parties."

"Cooperation, how can we cooperate?" Obadi asked eagerly.

The Ark Reactor is related to extremely huge interests, so Obadi cannot help but not be anxious.

"From what Ye Ye said, he wants to establish a joint energy company with the Stark Group, with the equity divided into [-] and [-] shares," Tony thought for a moment.

"Fifty-fifth stratification" Obadi said with a hint of coldness in his eyes: "How is this possible? This is something that originally belongs to us. How can we give half of the profits to Umbrella in vain?"

Obadi gritted his teeth and said: "Although Umbrella has been developing rapidly in recent years, their relationship at the top is too shallow after all. Otherwise, let's get in touch."

"Umbrella's current exoskeleton armor technology is comparable to that of a company of soldiers. Ye Ye is equipped with two Jellico missiles for each exoskeleton armor. With such armor, Ye Ye has at least Hundreds of things, what do you think will happen if we make Ye Ye angry?"

"How can there be such a powerful exoskeleton armor?" Obadi said in shock: "As far as I know, even the US military today is far from having such exoskeleton armor technology."

"I'm not lying to you, because I have mastered the same technology." Tony sighed.

"Actually, when I was captured, I had been planning to escape, and the escape tool in my mind was an exoskeleton armor."

"If Ye Ye hadn't come to save me unexpectedly, maybe I could have escaped with the exoskeleton armor I made."

"And the exoskeleton armor technology Ye Ye possesses is already extremely mature."

"Furthermore, he also has strong artificial intelligence comparable to Jarvis, which can far surpass wireless control of exoskeleton armor."

"So it's almost impossible for you to leave Ye Ye and go it alone."

Obadi believed Tony's words, so he seemed worried at this time and kept pacing.

"Even if we have to share half of the profits with Umbrella, the pressure we bear will be reduced by half," Tony comforted. He was afraid that the old man would suffer a cerebral hemorrhage from anger.

"This won't work, this won't work, Tony, the Ark Reactor is our technology to begin with, and it's divided into [-] and [-] layers. This is too much." Obadi muttered to himself.

Tony and Obadi struggled for a while before they persuaded the old man to leave, who was bent on gaining a powerful position in the business negotiations with Umbrella.

"The military industry is also my father's hard work." Looking at Obadi's leaving figure, Tony said with waning interest.

When it comes to making money, Tony never has to worry about anything. Any invention he makes can bring him huge amounts of money.

Even if the Stark Group goes bankrupt, Tony can comfortably be his own billionaire.

But the Stark Group is his family business and a testimony that the Stark family is based in the United States. It is absolutely impossible for him to give up the Stark Group.

"Perhaps, now I should also start buying stocks at the bottom and strengthen my control over the Stark Group," Tony sighed.

What happened in Afghanistan also made Tony realize that he did not have enough control over the Stark Group, and there were people who were able to make deals with terrorists without telling him.

Tony himself also realized that there was a mole within the Stark Group.

It has developed into a huge group with a market value of more than 3000 billion US dollars. There are too many complicated entanglements within the Stark Group. If we can take this opportunity to clean up a group of bad apples, it will be beneficial to the future of the Stark Group.

Tony is not as harmless as he seems, and his playboy character may seem like a playboy, but his political methods are also extremely strong.

SHIELD didn't find any clues about Tony's kidnapping at first, and they all thought it was just an accident.

But after Ye Ye's reminder, SHIELD became serious.

Once an organization as large as SHIELD pays serious attention to something and operates at full strength, there is almost nothing that can be kept secret from them.

After carefully investigating what happened before and after Tony's trip, SHIELD still discovered some clues.

In the cafe within the Stark Group, Coulson and Pepper Pep met.

"Miss Pep, we need your help." After a brief greeting, Coulson got straight to the point.

"You don't reveal any information to me, how can I help you?" Pepper said angrily.

No matter how she asked, Coulson always used confidentiality as an excuse to prevaricate her and never let her know the truth behind Tony's kidnapping.

"I really can't say much about this issue." Colson smiled gently and took out a stack of A4 paper from his briefcase.

"But the place where I ask for your help is also related to the truth of the matter."

Coulson took out a stack of A4 papers with portraits of some people matching their biographical information.

"After our investigation, these people are the most suspect, so I hope you can help us investigate the suspicious points on these people."

"And this person is the most suspicious," Colson said, pointing to a shiny bald head.
