Marvel's Cultivator

Chapter 30 Persuading the Board

the morning of the same day

In a conference room in the Stark Industrial Park, a meeting of the high-level board of directors is being held here. The directors sit on the left and right sides of the long conference table, staring at the empty chairman's seat.

They are no longer surprised by the fact that Tony Stark, the chairman, is late for the meeting.

Everyone waited quietly, but for Stark's unauthorized shutdown of the arms department, the word "unhappy" has been written on the faces of the directors present.

Click, click.

The crisp and powerful sound of leather shoes approached from afar.

With a turn of the doorknob, Obadiah, the former CEO, pushed the door and walked in with a kind face on his bearded face.

Then came in was Stark's secretary Pepper. She grabbed the doorknob, and Tony Stark in a formal suit walked in with small steps, his face full of confidence.

Pepper handed out the documents in front of each director, and then sat in the seat of attendance.

The meeting officially started. Stark crossed his palms and put his fingers on his chest. Looking at the directors present, he said, "I believe all directors already know that Stark Industries will close the weapons manufacturing department and withdraw from the arms market."

A director got up and said: "Stark, I know you are a genius, and your inventions have also brought a lot of profits to the company, but you can't shut down the arms department!"

Another director chimed in: "Did you know? The profit of the arms department accounts for 70.00% of the company's revenue! If the arms department is closed, then our company will not even be able to pay next month's wages, and you will make tens of thousands of employees in the company What do employees eat?"

In their view, Stark is only suitable for inventing in the laboratory, and Stan is still the chairman. He knows how to make money better than Stark.

During Stein's tenure as chief executive director, Stark Industries' arms sales increased by 5.00%, which was hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, and it was a huge sum of money for Stark Industries.

"During World War II, Stark Industries provided advanced weapons to the Allied Forces, such as Captain America's shield, which your father, Mr. Howard, has always been proud of." An elderly director Said to Stark, want to use Howard to make Stark back down.

Stark glanced at him and ignored him. He didn't know if he was proud, but his father was indeed very addicted to experiments and almost never came home.

"Sir, the war is over, that era is over."

Stark stood up, crossed his hands on the conference table, glanced at the directors, and said: "I always thought that my invention could maintain peace, but when I was injured by the missile I invented in the Middle East, I I know, I was wrong."

"The arms department must be closed!" Stark said in an unquestionable tone.

"Your decision will cause Stark Industries to go bankrupt. Tony, calm down, this is not a game, and you can't be impulsive." Stein persuaded.

"You don't have to worry, look at the documents in front of you."

Directors look at me, I look at you, open the folder and start browsing.

"We will enter the field of environmentally friendly energy. Cold nuclear fusion will provide a large amount of cheap electricity, and it is very environmentally friendly." Stark explained his plan to the board of directors.

"Stark Industries will become a representative of new energy, and only we have such technology." Stark paused and said the key point of this plan, technology monopoly!

If it is true as Tony said, Stark Industries will become the leader in the field of electricity within a few years!Microsoft, and the former Standard Oil Trust, are all absolute giants in a certain field.

This plan moved everyone present. Electricity is different from weapons. Electricity is a necessity of life, but weapons are not!

Electricity is just lying down and collecting money, and the market is also huge and stable.

Thinking of this, except for the director who is close to Stan, the rest of the directors nodded slightly in agreement.

The situation was reversed, and Obadiah saw that all the directors who had opposed it had already agreed. Although he occupies the majority of the board of directors, it is difficult for him to oppose the current situation.

After all, Stark's plan is extremely tempting. The closure of the munitions department does not prevent him from controlling Stark Industries. Anyway, Stark will still drill back into the laboratory, and Stark Industries will still be managed by him.

"This plan is good, but the closing of the munitions department needs to be done slowly." Obadiah said pretending to be profound.

"Then let's vote, if you agree, raise your hand."

The directors seated again raised their hands to express their approval. Several directors looked at Obadiah and raised their hands accordingly. The plan was unanimously approved!

At this moment, the journalists with a keen sense of smell had already surrounded Stark Industries, and they all hoped to know the situation of the meeting as soon as possible.

"Mr. Stein, may I ask if Stark Industries really wants to withdraw from the arms market?"

"Does Stark Industries have any plans for the future?"

While Stan was busy with the reporters, Stark had returned to the office, resting on an office chair with a cheeseburger in his hand.

"Sir, all the financial data have been compared, may I ask if the data needs to be backed up to the Stark Industrial server?"

Stark took a sip of water and said, "No, Jarvis, upload to my private server."

"Are we conducting a secret investigation?"

"Yes, Jarvis," Stark said, taking a bite of the cheeseburger.

thump!The sound of high-heeled shoes sounded outside the door, and Pepper in a formal suit walked into the office with a small stack of documents in his right hand.

"Tony, here are the minutes of the meeting." Pepper said as he put the document on the table.

Stark nodded, picked up a record, opened it, looked at it and said, "How is Stan? I heard he was surrounded by annoying reporters."

"Fortunately, Mr. Stein said that there will be a charity gala tonight, and the questions will be answered at the gala."

"By the way, the party is in your name," Pepper added.

Charity Gala?He really wanted to participate, but Liu said that it was best not to go out tonight, and he felt a little regretful. He wanted to relax.

Why don't you host another one by yourself, Stark grabbed the leftover hamburger on the table and stuffed it into his mouth.

"I see, you go to rest, I'll sit here for a while." Stark said to Pepper.

"Tony, you should also pay attention to rest. Look at your dark circles." Pepper cared.

I don't know why, but she can always see Stark talking to himself, maybe there is something wrong with his mind?Do you want to ask a psychiatrist to take a look?

"Ah—Qi!" Liu Yuan, who was a guest at the New York Temple, sneezed violently.

"Mr. Liu?! Do you have a cold?"

"No, I always feel that someone is talking about me."
