Gravity Chamber Upgrade (Third Update)
"Who are you? Who gave you permission to enter the conference room!"
Upon seeing Hawking appear, several shareholders of the company frowned and began to shout at him.
Although Hawking appeared quite mature, his physical age was only sixteen, and he still looked too young.
For them, it was a joke that a young man would suddenly barge into the meeting room and say he wanted to become an investor in such a large company.
"Mr. Hawking, are you telling the truth?"
In contrast to the reprimands from the other shareholders, Doom's attitude was completely different. He had just been furious, but now his body was trembling slightly with excitement.
Because he knew that with Hawking's abilities, if he were truly willing to be an investor, his company would immediately be revived.
Having survived the Apocalypse Event, Hero Alliance International Company now at its peak.
Even if Hawking didn't spend a lot of money, as long as he released the news of the cooperation between Hero Alliance International Company and Doom Group, his company's stock price could quickly rebound to its previous level.
"Of course, Doctor Doom is my friend, so I'm happy to help with this little thing."
Hawking stepped forward, smiled, and nodded.
In fact, Doom is a very shrewd businessman. If he hadn't been tricked by Reed, he wouldn't be in this predicament now.
Even disregarding other factors, investing in Doom's company is worthwhile simply for making money.
However, he wasn't doing it for the money. Hero Alliance International Company was already making enough money. Money was just a number and didn't really mean anything.
Most importantly, by becoming an investor in the Doom Group, one can easily control Doom and thus make Reed willingly research Gravity Device for him.
Moreover, in doing so, Doom owes him a huge favor.
If this universe's Doom is just the normal Doom, that's fine. But if it doesn't, and one day it really develops into a version like Doom God-Monarch, we should still remember this favor he did for us.
He always believed that even villains are not purely evil; villains also have emotions and desires, and sometimes their feelings of love and hate are purer than those of the good guys.
Even Thanos's goal wasn't simply to kill for fun; he also wanted to reduce the number of lives in the universe so that the entire universe could develop better.
But if Doom doesn't know how to be grateful in the future, he wouldn't mind killing him before he grows up.
"Doom, who exactly is this gentleman?"
Based on Doom's reaction, the shareholders also realized something was wrong. They were all seasoned businessmen and wouldn't be so foolish. They immediately adjusted their attitude and began to test the waters.
Doom reverted to his usual domineering CEO demeanor, arrogantly introducing himself to the shareholders:
"Ladies and gentlemen, let me formally introduce myself."
This Mr. Hawking is none other than the chairman of the now-famous Hero Alliance International Company!
"What? He's the mysterious chairman of Hero Alliance International Company!"
Upon hearing Doom's introduction, all the shareholders' eyes widened in surprise, and many of them exclaimed in astonishment.
Based on Doom's attitude, they had already guessed that Hawking's identity was not simple, but they never expected it to be this extraordinary.
Hero Alliance International Company is no ordinary company; it's the most unique company on the entire planet.
Most of them are Super Hero with special abilities, and the most powerful one even saved the entire human civilization.
That's not all. According to their understanding, the recent development of Hero Alliance International Company has been smooth sailing, with the government giving it preferential treatment. Clearly, they have powerful connections.
They just didn't expect that such a mysterious person would be so young.
"That's right, I am Stephen Hawking, the chairman of Hero Alliance International Company."
Next, I will invest in your company, just like the Osborn Corporation, and your company will become one of the partners of Hero Alliance International Company.
Hawking also gave a brief self-introduction.
Doom then continued:
"With Mr. Hawking's help, I think it won't be long before we can recover all the damage caused by this experiment, and the future will only be better!"
"Welcome, Mr. Hawking!"
After confirming Hawking's identity, the shareholders below made a complete 180-degree turn in their attitude and applauded loudly in praise.
They were even closer than when they saw their own father.
Originally, they could have taken the opportunity to get rid of Doom after Doom made such a huge mess, but the company would inevitably be on the verge of bankruptcy, and no one would have fared well.
With a big name like Hawking joining the company, the Doom Group can rapidly expand by leveraging the Hero Alliance International Company. Everyone can make money this way, so how could they not be happy?
As for whether Doom would lie to them, or whether Hawking was a fake, based on their understanding of Doom, they didn't think so.
"The company will have someone specifically discuss the specific cooperation plan later."
Doctor Doom, I have something to say to you privately.
Not wanting to waste time with these opportunistic shareholders, Hawking got straight to the point.
Doom gave a wink to the shareholders below, who immediately stood up, smiled, and said goodbye, leaving the meeting room.
"Mr. Hawking, you helped the company through a difficult time. You can make any requests you may have."
If it weren't for Hawking's help, the Doom Group, which he painstakingly built, would have gone bankrupt much sooner.
Therefore, in future collaborations, as long as Hawking's requests do not exceed his bottom line, he can agree to them.
At that moment, he still thought Hawking wanted to talk about company matters.
However, Hawking simply smiled:
"Doctor Doom, you've misunderstood. I've said that there will be professionals to talk to you about company matters, and we can just proceed as we did with your previous investors."
I want to talk to you about Doctor Reed.
"Reed?"
Doom looked puzzled.
So Hawking repeated what Reed had said in the hospital.
After hearing this, Doom immediately patted his chest and guaranteed:
"Mr. Hawking, don't worry. I'll talk to Reed. He'll go to the Osborn Corporation today to help you develop Gravity Device so you can start your cultivation as soon as possible!"
He thought it was something big, but it turned out to be such a small matter.
He had originally hoped that Reed could produce some more experimental results so that he could recover some of his strength, but now that Hawking had joined the team, there was no need for that troublesome Reed at all.
This is a good opportunity to have Reed work for Hawking to pay off the debts he owed.
With Doom's assurance, Hawking returned to the school with peace of mind.
Shortly after he arrived at the school, he received a call from Reed:
"Hawking, thank you for helping Doom save the company. I'll go to the Osborn Corporation right away to help you with your Gravity Chamber research."
"That's great, but Doctor Reed, please remember to bring some necessary daily necessities and inform your family and friends."
Due to special circumstances, this research on the Gravity Chamber is being conducted in a closed, isolated manner. You will be unable to communicate or contact the outside world for three months and will need to fully immerse yourself in the research.
Hawking offered this reminder.
Susan and the others' abilities will awaken soon, and he doesn't want Reed to be distracted by other things.
This time, he won't let Reed out until Reed develops Gravity Chamber that can achieve ten times the normal gravity.
