Rise of an Empire

"Yes, my mobile communication equipment has been completed to the final stage. Now there is only a slight problem with the battery." Conrad nodded and said to Howard.

The Ark reactor developed by Anton Vanke and Howard can be regarded as the largest research project of the entire Stark Group at this stage. Countless human, material and financial resources have been invested in it. If Conrad wants to directly take advantage of Anton Vanke now, That must be wishful thinking.

Before Stark and the other party fell out for unknown reasons, the relationship between the two of them was still very good.

So this time, Conrad just used the name of researching new batteries to find a relationship with Stacker to see if he could get in touch with Anton Vanke.

Because if you wait until the two of them completely fall out, it will be too late.

I still remember that Anton Vanke was directly deported back to the Soviet Union by Stark using his connections. Although the last unlucky guy was exiled to Siberia until he died, you can know with your toes that a top nuclear player like him As a physical scientist, the first battle for repatriation will definitely be the Lubyanka.

Conrad didn't think he had the ability to steal people in Lubyanka.

You must know that this is the headquarters of the KGB. In terms of defensive measures, it is much stricter than the Pentagon.

"Are you using a dry battery pack now?" Howard flipped through the file and asked.

"Yes, although the duration of the dry battery pack is okay, the size and quality are too large, which does not meet the characteristics of portable communication equipment." Conrad nodded. The mobile phone made from the dry battery pack is much better than the one in the original time and space. The big brother is even bigger, so people with small hands can't hold it.

"Actually, you can try using a nickel-cadmium battery pack. In that case, the size can be reduced by at least one-third." As soon as the expert took action, he would know if it was there. Howard just held the document and looked at it for a few minutes, and then took out the pen. Painted on it.

amount

Seeing Howard start drawing directly on the document, Conrad didn't know whether he should be happy or depressed.

Of course, it is good that the other party directly helped me solve the battery problem, which means that my mobile phone business will be started soon.

But

I am planning to find a chance to get in touch with Anton Vanke. How can I make excuses if you directly solve the problem for me?

But it seems a bit strange to stop others and ask them not to draw pictures for themselves now.

Fortunately, someone stepped forward to save Conrad at this time.

"Master, you made an appointment with Mrs. Whitney to talk about something in the afternoon, and the time is coming soon." Jarvis suddenly stood up and shook the watch on his wrist.

"Um, that's right, that's right." Howard seemed to wake up from a dream, quickly dropped the pen, and then said with a look of hindsight.

"I'm sorry, Duke Wetting, I have something else to do and I can't entertain you anymore. Regarding the issue of this nickel-cadmium battery pack, you should talk to Jarvis."

After saying that, without waiting for Conrad's reaction, he hurried away.

"Hello, Duke Wetting, I have a few questions about this nickel-cadmium battery pack technology that I would like to discuss with you." Seeing Howard leave the conference room, Jarvis immediately smiled like an old fox.

Just like Tony Stark has Pepper by his side to help with government affairs, Howard can't do without Jarvis's assistance.

Because as soon as he encounters something he is interested in, he will immediately forget about it, and at this time, Jarvis needs to remind him

For example, regarding the technical issue with the nickel-cadmium battery pack just now, if Howard directly drew it on the document and handed it to Conrad, he would only get two thank yous at most.

But Jarvis has been Howard's butler for so many years, so he naturally has a good vision. Howard can see the huge business opportunities here at a glance, and he is also good at it.

Seeing that his master was about to give away such a valuable technology for free, he had no choice but to start overstepping his authority and take action directly.

After all, the Stark family has a huge business. Without the support of him as a butler, Howard's attitude of taking money as money is not what it is, how could he have saved this business.

But what makes Jarvis a little strange is that

Why does the Duke of Wetting in front of him not look annoyed at all, but instead feels a little relaxed?

Could it be that this person is also a master who does not regard money as money?

three hours later

"It's so hateful, that housekeeper is simply a vampire," Natasha said angrily after walking out of Howard's mansion.

For a mere nickel-cadmium battery pack technology, Jarvis ended up asking them to collect US$14 million in patent royalties, which was simply crazy.

Fourteen million US dollars, accounting for 2% of the total turnover of the entire Wanka Bank, so even though Black Widow has sharpened her vision in the past two years, she still feels that the other party's asking price is too dark.

"Calm down, money is for spending, and we won't suffer anyway," Conrad smiled and patted Natasha on the shoulder, saying happily.

Jarvis is really a great teammate. Although from his point of view, he helped Howard earn 14 million US dollars in royalties, but compared to the benefits that Conrad got from him, that is really It's not worth mentioning

Although nickel-cadmium battery technology has been invented, this technology is still a high-precision technical profession. There are not more than twenty talents in the entire United States who can make this thing.

As for the nickel-cadmium battery pack, which technology is a step forward? For Howard, it may be just a matter of thinking about it for a few hours and drawing a design drawing, but for others to study it, it is estimated that at least a scientific research team will be set up to study it for several hours. That kind of year.

There is no way, in this world, the gap between genius and talent is so big.

According to the contract he just drew up with Jarvis, Stark Group will send experts to his laboratory tomorrow to solve technical problems with nickel-cadmium battery packs.

With Howard's character and busy schedule, it is naturally impossible for him to take action personally. Then it is obvious that the entire Stark Group has the talent that can solve this technical problem.

He really wanted to give whatever he wanted. To be honest, if it wasn't for maintaining his own image just now, Conrad would have wanted to give Jarvis a big hug.

"Boss, why do I feel that you smile so obscenely? It's not because you spent too much money that your brain was burned out." Black Widow looked at Conrad in surprise, wondering if he was angry and confused.

After all, anyone who is extorted of such a large amount of money will feel uncomfortable.

Look at your boss, he is so angry that the corners of his mouth are raised.
