Marvel's Speedster

The day Ross gets the Vankels, Obaday Stein is in a bind.

Wearing loose pajamas, sitting on a soft sofa, the fire in the fireplace was blazing, warming the dim room, At the moment it was already eight o'clock in the evening Eastern time, but Obaday was not tired at all, he stared blankly Looking at the TV, the screen is showing the media's live interview with Victor Dum, who successfully entered the space station.

 ….I heard the news of Tony's return and am glad our friend is still in luck's favor. I have not had the same luck and this time my team will be in space for at least a week. I have to say, the journey from the launch room to the Hayden space station is quite long, but it would be nice to be able to spend a few days in space, it is better than being idle and indulging in the temptation of women. "

On the screen, Doom still looks like a majestic man, and the implication is nothing more than belittling Tony and exalting himself.

"What is Mr. Dum's expectation for this space adventure, and what positive impact will it have on Dum's technology?" the host in the director room asked without losing the opportunity

"We will study the evolution of life on the early planet caused by the high-energy cosmic storms generated by the coronal solar wind, which will fundamentally advance our understanding of the structure of the human genome, cure countless diseases, and allow humans to live better Longer, stronger and healthier."

"The idea was originally conceived by the genius Dr. Reed Richards, a college classmate of mine who made many a so-called genius at MIT feel like a tech-fair junior Student, as early as in school we said that we would work together in the future, and this time we finally got the chance."

"Reed and my employees do the basic research, and I'm going to cash in on our shared dream with the bills. I believe he's right, and this little trip will definitely double our stock and secure a billion-plus order for the company , to win more market share for Dum Technology." After speaking, Mu turned sideways, revealing Reed who was next to him like a follower, and within two seconds he returned to the center of the screen, and turned the The audience greeted Reid stiffly and squeezed to the back.

"May I ask, what should I do if Mr. Richards is wrong? According to expert analysis, this storm can be fatal...", the host continued to ask.

"He can't be wrong." Dum interrupted the other party's question.

"If it is really wrong, the specially designed shield outside the control room of the space station can also protect us from harm, so this exploration is completely risk-free, and we will get high returns, not only for ourselves, but also for our future. A common future for all.”

"Being one step ahead, that's my job, to see what others don't see..."

Then the TV was filled with Doom's gibberish. Obaday listened for a while, then pressed the remote control impatiently to switch to another channel.

But the channel still airs shows that make him uneasy.

"Stark Industries, I have a proposal here, are you ready?"

The union leader, known for his tough personality, rolled up his sleeves and posed uncompromisingly for the camera.

"You shipwreck, did you hear the sirens? Let me tell you, no one will buy Stark Industries' new products, and you will be finished soon! Look, this is the fate of Stark Industries!"

With the cooperation of the host, the union leader suddenly picked up a bat and smashed the porcelain placed in front of him to pieces. The force of his beating was so fierce that the shards splashed from the tabletop to the lens glass, as if they would fall from the screen. Fly out in general. Following his abrupt movements, Obaday involuntarily raised his face and closed his eyes, and then realized that he was just sitting at home watching TV.

"boom!"

Turning off the TV and throwing the remote control heavily on the table, Obady was so angry that his chest heaved violently.

These TV shows have touched his heart, and the CEO has been hesitation these days.

Everything was under control. Although Tony didn't die in Central Asia, he couldn't make any big waves. He used his mania as an excuse to stir up the board's dissatisfaction with the Stark family's long-standing arbitrariness, and then persuaded Tony to keep a low profile. , This two-pronged approach can form favorable conditions for the future|takeover|taking over of the company, but the changes in the outside world are somewhat unexpected.

"Victor Doom..."

Obaday pulled a piece of paper and listed an obnoxious name on it.

"Discover Aerospace, Osborn Corporation, Hammer Industries..."

Then listed several familiar opponents above.

"Cutting-edge technology laboratory... Ross Byrne..."

The last one is the new rising star.

I listed the names one by one, crossed them out one by one, and when I finally stopped, there were more than 20 lines of characters of different lengths densely listed on the blank paper. Looking at these characters, Obadai suddenly became a little uneasy. Originally, he was about to become the owner of the sheepfold, exercising supreme power instead of the real owner, but the recent changes suddenly made him a little apprehensive.

Even going back a year or half a year ago, there were not so many competitors. At that time, Exploration | Aerospace had just received strong support from the Ministry of Defense, and the merger with Osborn seemed out of reach. Hammer Industries The like are just poor imitators, Dum technology has just hit the road, and Ross's laboratory is not even a shadow.

But half a year later, these former competitors and new forces grew like saplings after the rain, and the speed caught him off guard.

Although these companies are unlikely to have a decisive impact on Stark Industries now, with the keen sense of an excellent manager, Opadry has already realized that the future development is not optimistic.

Once Exploration Aerospace and Osborn are merged, this new company will become the second largest military-industrial complex, which can reduce competition among them, better leverage its scale advantages, and directly threaten Stark's current market share from all aspects.

At that time, there were evenly matched large enterprises, companies such as Dumhammer in the middle, and more dynamic cutting-edge laboratories below. Stark Industries, which lost Tony, faced the attack of wolves. Can it survive? Maintain current advantage?

For Obaday, this is a difficult question to answer, and it is an extremely difficult matter.

Let Tony go, it will cause trouble later

After killing him, Obaday worried about falling behind in the future competition.

So for a while, he was a little overwhelmed.

Looking at these names, Obaday knows how many people are behind the recent plunge in Stark Industries' stock.

Needless to say, Hanmer Industries and Aerospace Exploration, according to my own investigation, even a little guy like Ross has gained a lot of benefits from it...

Originally, he had bypassed Tony to issue a statement to recover part of the negative impact, but due to the continuous addition of competitors and Wall Street Vulture, the company's losses were much more than expected. If this continues, what Obaday has to worry about is not Tony's life or death, but whether he can continue to sit firmly on the throne of supreme controller after driving him away.

In the end, he wanted to force Stark out to take sole control of this top-notch arms company with huge profits, not because he wanted to work hard for a company that was gradually becoming dilapidated.

As long as Tony can make a big concession in terms of equity, or formally promise not to interfere with the actual operation, and is only satisfied with playing the role of an invention creator, then it seems that he does not have to kill the sole heir of his old friend Howard.

Obadai was gloomy and made a difficult decision.

"What a lucky guy, Tony." He looked at the photo of himself and Stark and his son on the wall not far away and said to himself.

"I almost killed you, the goose that laid the golden eggs. I didn't expect the fox outside the fence to make me realize your value again. It seems that I have to give you another chance. Don't let me down this time. "

He stood up and whispered, and went back to his desk, amending a list of attendees for the charity gala, adding Tony's name back in who hadn't been invited to attend.

Now that he no longer needs a silent and low-key Stark, letting everyone see the intimate company management may be more helpful to boost the confidence of the outside world.

After thinking clearly about the crux of the problem, Obaday also felt a little relaxed in his heart, as if he had finally removed the heavy stone that had been pressing on his chest for several days, allowing him to breathe freely again.

Then the secure phone on the desk rang.

"Omar has it under control? Very good, clean it up, then you bring your own things back, and recruit a new group of people, these people have to be cleaned up.

After hanging up the phone, the new news made Obaday feel more at ease.

3.7 In the original timeline, he personally led the team to Central Asia to find his former collaborators and bring back Tony’s first-generation armor scattered in the desert, but this time he didn’t have time, so he sent his confidants directly . However, it is obvious that in the face of a well-trained and well-equipped private army, those backward and incompetent mobs will never be opponents.

This can be regarded as clearing away the last hidden danger of cooperating with Tony again. From now on, no one will know that Tony's disappearance is related to him.

Thinking of this, Obadai finally laughed, the wrinkles on his old face seemed to gather into a chrysanthemum.

He finally sorted out the files on the desktop, stuffed the papers with the names of those opponents into the folder, thought for a while, and put some photos related to Tony's most trusted secretary, Pepper, into the folder, and then put the Seal the opening. Tomorrow he will bring this document to his old friend's son, and have a long talk with Tony face to face.

I believe this will be a meeting of far-reaching significance.

Obaday thought proudly, and left his study.

He didn't know that on the other end of the confidential phone he had just put down, some extremely subtle changes were taking place in a remote corner of Central Asia. .
