In Marvel's Kamen Rider Chronicles

At first, when Obadiah said he wanted to build a new bookstore for Yuqi, Yuqi refused.

Because Yu Qi is a very nostalgic person.

Although this bookstore is a little small, a little dilapidated, and the location is not good, but I have been there for more than ten years, so it must be sentimental.

However, when Obadiah handed over the design drawing to Yuqi and Yuqi looked at the drawing with the area in hectares, Yuqi fell silent.

In the end, he could only nod helplessly in agreement.

after all……

Yugi hates stubborn people the most, doesn’t he? Haha.

Yes, it's a simple geographic swap.

Obadiah paid for a piece of open space near the mountains in the northeast of Devil City in exchange for Yuqi's land in the center of Devil City.

Obadiah will build a new tower there.

Naturally, it's the Stark Group's building.

Howard was not happy with this decision, but Obadiah also had something to say, do you understand company operations?

Do you know how much money your company makes every month?

Do you know how much of the company's equity structure is profitable and how much is losing money?

In this regard, Howard could only say weakly, I don't understand, but it has nothing to do with choosing the address in Devil City...

So Obadiah handed him a piece of information written by Stark's head of strategy.

It affirmed in detail the future development of Devil City and the geographical advantages of Devil City along the coast.

To put it more bluntly, sea transportation is a very efficient mode of transportation today and even for a long time to come.

What is the most profitable industry in Stark's current group?

Is it military industry?

This is indeed profitable, but it is not the most profitable at this stage.

What is the most profitable?

The answer is aerospace.

Thanks to the red giant on the other side, Stark's military orders are fully booked every year.

And since the red giant built a space station a few years ago and took the lead, those white-skinned pigs on Capitol Hill have allocated a wave of funds to Stark in this area in recent years.

Obadiah, who was in his youth and caught up with such a good time, naturally thought of expansion.

So here comes the problem. If you want to expand, you have to evaluate it in the early stage.

This expansion is for warehousing purposes.

After all, the things created by Stark cannot be stored in the Stark Tower. In the past, they were stored in suburban warehouses in New York.

But now as Stark Industries grows bigger and bigger, there are more and more orders, and orders from the aerospace industry are also coming, so the warehouse in the past seems too small.

So expansion is imperative.

And the expansion involves a lot of things.

Where does the land come from?

Stark's current warehouse used to be in the suburbs of New York, but with the development, the flow of people there is gradually increasing. Many powerful missiles and thermal weapons can no longer be stored there, and they are all sent directly to the western region to rebuild. Build factories and make weapons.

This is another cost.

Because to build a warehouse directly in New York, the land is too expensive, the warehousing costs are also expensive, and the labor costs are even more expensive. Even if it is just a warehouse manager, it will cost nearly a thousand dollars a month for someone to apply.

And Devil City...

How should I put it? Obadiah came into contact with this place relatively early and has a good relationship with the officials here. It is impossible for anyone to embarrass Obadiah on the issue of green Franklin.

Let's put it this way, the construction cost of building a warehouse here is at least half cheaper than in New York.

As for labor costs, the wages of residents in Devil City are at most % to % of New York's.

Although Howard is the boss of Stark Industries, he really doesn't pay much attention to these things.

What he pays attention to...

Well, what he focuses on is, for example, hover cars?

OK, this is a hobby. His main job is to study how to make spacecraft bigger and better, carry more people, be safer and faster.

It’s about studying how to take America’s military power to a higher level.

So, to put it bluntly, Obadiah is responsible for the face of Stark Industries, while Howard is responsible for the face.

If Stark Industries now loses Obadiah, then it would be enough to re-elect an executive director who also serves as the general manager of the group.

But without Howard, the stock price basically collapsed.

only……

Howard rubbed his head with a headache and looked at Obadiah expectantly: "Seriously, tell me honestly, can we choose not to be in Castlevania? Oh, damn, I have a headache when I hear this name."

Obadiah looked at Howard curiously: "Hey, Howard, are you okay? You don't look good..."

Howard shook his head: "That guy, that guy from Rangers has been harassing me recently, wanting me to lobby the big guys on Capitol Hill to get them to agree to the game company he opened..."

Obadiah was a little confused: "As far as I know, Mr. Yuqi is not the only one in the emerging industry of game companies. In fact, there are already several companies in Neon, and there are already several in our country. It’s a game company, why don’t those gentlemen agree to Yuqi’s request to establish it?”

Howard waved his hand: "Those gentlemen don't believe that you just open a company...

The demonstrations in Boston lasted for a year under his influence, and the trend changed to violent demonstrations many times. The most important thing is that we found no direct evidence of him. We only had some transfer records and could only lock the account. , there is no way to confirm that the user is Yuqi through the account..."

Obadiah was speechless: "Even if it's confirmed, what can you do? Arrest him? Put him in jail?"

Howard immediately shook his head: "No, no, no, if you put him in jail, believe me, it could take as long as a year or as short as half a year, that guy will definitely start a riot in the prison. He has this ability.

Because of this, those gentlemen were deeply suspicious of his motives in wanting to open a game company.

Some even said he would use the game to control players..."

Obadiah took advantage of the situation and asked: "Then after he opens a game company, you can set up an audit department.

Howard, don't you think that with a piece of data or code, he can control the whole world? "

What Obadiah didn't say is, isn't this what we are doing? Through various data and analysis, capital is used to control the world.

Howard hesitated and then said: "The point is, we don't know what he's capable of..."

Obadiah rolled his eyes: "Ha, Howard, I'm afraid you have stayed with those gentlemen for too long, and you have acquired the same habits and thoughts as them."

Obadiah stood up and looked into Howard's eyes: "You know best, if those gentlemen really figure out the nature of Mr. Ranger's ability, what will be the consequences next."

Obadiah shook his head: "Or are you going to join them and become one of them next?"

Howard looked at Obadiah in surprise: "No, how could it be, Stany, you know me, I..."

Obadiah shrugged: "In that case, why are you bothering here?"

Howard opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Obadiah patted Howard on the shoulder: "Since you are not going to be one of those gentlemen, why do you want to contact and explore the bookstore owner on their behalf?

These things should not be your responsibility. You have to know that you are the founder of SHIELD, but your position has always been the director of the Technology Development Department. You can let Carter know about the bookstore owner. Get rid of the headache. "

Howard opened his mouth and then reacted...

Yeah, why am I worrying about all this here?

Shouldn't these things be what worries the gentlemen?

Although I felt a little sorry for Carter, I still wanted to let Carter have the headache.

Thinking like this, Jarvis suddenly came over and said, "Sir, that Mr. Ranger is here again. Isn't he going to excuse you this time?"

Howard stopped him quickly: "No, no, no, invite him in this time."

So, Ranger came in, and this time he was more prepared. He originally wanted to go to the New York Department of Culture and Propaganda (yes, the department that openly admitted to spending money to buy public knowledge) to find the minister without seeing Howard. Yes, I didn't expect it to come in.

and……

His attitude was inexplicably much kinder.

You Qi looked at Howard suspiciously, and then tentatively opened his mouth to talk about his game company...

Howard Cat (no typo) told Youqi with a smile on his face that you shouldn't go to him for this kind of thing, you should go to XXX. If you want, you can give him his business card or something.

You Qi took a deep breath, good guy, that's it. Why did your attitude towards me suddenly change for the better? Mader has learned to do Tai Chi, right?

Yugi simply stopped talking about the game company and turned to Jarvis and asked: "Jarvis, where is Tony? Let me, the godfather, take good care of my dear godson."

The smile on Howard's face disappeared, and he yelled at Ranger: "I never agreed to you being my son's godfather!!! Get out of here!!!"

Originally, there were thirty chapters saved, but because of this damn new crown, I only wrote one or two hundred words this week. Now there are only eighteen chapters saved, damn... and it’s not completely healed yet, with snot and tears all the time. Flow... It's so uncomfortable... I really want to slap those idiots who say that the new coronavirus is nothing... Forget it, the week's recommendations have expired. I will resume updating once a day and save the manuscripts. I have more than a dozen chapters saved, I need to start saving more, otherwise there will be ten more chapters, and there will still be a lot of people who voted for me now. I will definitely thank you in one batch, and burst them all together. If the saved manuscripts are completely gone, then it will be Barbie Q. …
