Osborne Megacorp

"Mr. Stark is back. I need to pick him up at the airport. The military doesn't like too many people there. I'm very sorry. But you can wait here."

Pepper Potts, Stark's female assistant, will be appointed CEO of Stark Industries in the future.

Of course Harry didn't mind.

"Of course I don't mind, but I'd better wait in the waiting room. This is your CEO's office." Harry behaved like a good citizen.

This made Pepper think more highly of Harry.

Some time ago, the Osborne Group began to acquire shares of Stark Industries, which made her wary - she considered many scenarios, including malicious mergers and acquisitions, malicious short selling and other common attack methods.

However, the acquisition soon stopped, and the Osborne Group put funds into the renovation plan of Hell's Kitchen. Now several brand-new schools and orphanages have been built there, and the security has improved a lot.

A new shareholder holding 7% of the shares is not a problem at all for Stark Industries.

In fact, Harry had already used a hidden camera to take pictures of the physical model that Howard left behind - who makes them like to show it?

But having said that, if it weren't for Harry, a time traveler, who would have guessed that the secret of this new artificial element was hidden in this simple model?

"So, are we just waiting?" Hurley asked while using the computer to handle official business.

"Of course, what else do you want to do? This is not an office building of the Osborne Group. There are surveillance cameras everywhere."

"I did not mean that!"

That's not what I meant, Harry shrugged.

"Stark is holding a press conference, now." Hurley closed the computer.

"We'll hold a press conference as soon as we get back. It looks like we're going to announce some big news." Harry stood up. "Where is their company's board meeting room? I want to visit it."

......

"...So I have decided to shut down the weapons manufacturing department of Stark Industries! Effective immediately!"

Stark's press conference was as chaotic as the plot, and Obadiah's on-the-spot explanation did not succeed in diverting people's attention.

The news went out immediately, and the society exploded.

Stark Industries directors hastily held a board meeting.

"Does he understand what he is doing!" One director almost yelled, "What are arms dealers going to do if they don't make arms?"

"Does he clearly understand that he is the CEO of the company and is responsible for everything he does?"

"We can't let him continue to be so willful!"

"If he can't continue to bring revenue to the company, maybe we should replace him!"

Harry sat aside and watched their argument as if it were a play.

Hurley carefully observed the expressions of the directors. Hurley explained that he needed to continue to increase his stake in Stark afterwards, and she needed to judge which directors might accept the equity transfer agreement.

Obadiah spoke slowly under the gaze of many directors.

"No, we still need Tony. It's impossible to replace him at this juncture. The news has been released. Now we should consider what to do next."

Obadiah clearly had his own agenda and knew better.

And what he said is true. The future is what directors care about.

"Obadiah, you have the best relationship with Tony. What does he think?"

"Maybe he was frightened after traveling around Afghanistan, or maybe he suddenly became a humanitarian as he said. To be honest, I don't know."

Obadiah's words once again sparked discussion among the directors.

"But...Tony is a smart guy, and you should have all heard what he said today."

"A new development direction that is suitable and consistent with the country's highest interests? Nonsense." A director said disdainfully.

"But his brain has never let us down. Let me get in touch with him and I'll figure out what he wants to do."

"Hmph, you'd better hurry up then!"

Harry stretched and looked at Hurley aside.

"How about it, just write it all down."

"Yes, it seems that many of them are really disappointed. Stark's stock will plummet tomorrow." Hurley stood aside and said, "Does the plan need to change?"

"No. Let's wait until the stock price drops fifty or sixty points before taking action."

"I think it might fall more, but it seems like you really think highly of Mr. Tony Stark." Hurley shrugged, taking note of Harry's words.

Harry remembered that in his previous life, Stark's stock price fell by more than 50 points the next day. He didn't know if Obadiah had secretly released news about the reactor, but in this life, Stark's stock price would only fall further. awful.

Because nuclear fusion has been commercialized by the Osborne Group.

The meeting ended and the directors were offline. Just when Harry was about to leave, Obadiah came over.

"Mr. Osborne, I'm sorry that this is the first time a board meeting has happened to you."

"Don't worry, no one can expect this kind of thing."

Harry was waiting for the next step when he saw that the bald man was thinking.

After a moment of silence, he said:

"Mr. Osborne, do you think it's possible to build an arc reactor with your hands?"

"Not likely, you know, Dr. Otto and I did a lot of preliminary work to make this technology a reality. If you paid attention to our completion ceremony, you will see that this thing is very big and very sophisticated. "

"And if I remember correctly, Stark Industries also has an arc reactor."

Stark Industries does have such a reactor, but the output energy is less than the input energy. The significance of decoration and deceiving investors is greater than the actual significance.

Harry wasn't quite sure what Obadiah wanted to test. Perhaps he suspected that he had gotten news about the reactor?

His behavior did give him reason to doubt.

It's a pity that he could never guess that he bought shares in Tony Stark just to be on the safe side and sucked Tony's blood.

Tony Stark aside, Harry would have brought the company down long ago.

Obadiah was silent for a while, and then said something Harry didn't expect.

"Does Osborne Group have any plans to buy Stark Industries?"

To this, Harry wanted to say, he had!If buying ownership of the company would allow Tony to work for free, he would do it.

But a pure company acquisition may not convince him. When the time comes that he goes out to destroy a certain company, the value of the acquisition will be greatly reduced.

As for why everyone now thinks that the Osborn Group wants to acquire Stark Industries... From Harry's point of view, there is really nothing to hide in his behavior. If others insist on thinking this way, he can't stop him.

"Mr. Stany, this is the company's strategy. I'm sorry I can't answer you." Harry stood up, taller than the bald man, and said condescendingly, "But I really hope that Stark Industries can get through this." It was a difficult time, so I bought shares of your company under pressure."

"Now, I'm going back to deal with the problem. If the company has financial difficulties, I think I can give you some help."

Now the Osborne Group can be said to be making money every day, but it is worried about having nowhere to spend money.
