"If we can reach a cooperation on this plan, we'll gladly give you the licensing for the weapon's appearance for free."
Obadiah said with a smile, not caring at all.
The toy market? Hundreds of millions in profit?
He didn't even put it in his eyes. If his plan succeeded, what he would gain would be far more than a mere few hundred million.
The future smartphone market would definitely be huge. China was developing at high speed, and phones would surely become a necessity for everyone. Even if each phone was priced at a thousand US dollars, that would be a trillion-dollar super market. Stark Industries could only look up to it.
And the smart system would definitely be the core of a smartphone, even more important than the chip!
A smart system could collect information from every user, gather big data, and even spy and monitor their privacy. Just this capability alone made it a super "strategic" weapon.
Obadiah was quite confident in the capabilities of his own "Jarvis." China's internet had always been a difficult place for America to infiltrate. If Jarvis could penetrate the enemy's internal network, it would be a great help to America.
In the end, America's desire to destroy China had never diminished!
Obadiah's objective was clearly to infiltrate China's internal network with Jarvis. Compared to that, the authorization fee was a trivial amount of money!
Besides, China had now become the world's factory and could manufacture many things. Toys were also very famous. It could be said that 90% of the world's toys were produced and manufactured in China. There were countless toy guns, and he had never seen any Chinese company pay for copyright.
The whole world knew that in China, "copyright protection" was practically a joke. If others wanted to produce something, could American companies stop them?
Accuse others of infringement?
Heh, who would care?
And Chen Mu's family factory actually saying they wanted to purchase licensing fees was like a fantasy. Even Obadiah almost thought he misheard.
However, after confirming this news, Obadiah quickly formulated another plan, intending to use Chen Mu to achieve his sinister goal of "invading China."
"That's great. I'm honored to cooperate with your company on smartphones."
However, Chen Mu, who had long known that Obadiah was not a good person, and although he had roughly guessed Obadiah's intentions, he didn't care too much. Instead, he appeared very welcoming.
Send Jarvis to me? I couldn't ask for more!
And you want to use Jarvis to invade China? Unfortunately, you chose the wrong person. As long as you send Jarvis to Chen Mu, he will show you the terror of "Huaqiangbei"!
Jarvis? Believe it or not, I'll turn it into my technology in minutes!
"Haha, good, as for the appearance licensing fee, it's all yours for free!"
Obadiah was very happy to get Chen Mu's agreement. He naturally loved money. As for the profit-sharing issue, in his opinion, it was not a problem. He would just slowly take it back afterward, as he had plenty of means...
"Mr. Stan, actually, I have a small request, and I hope you can help me."
"Go ahead."
Obadiah looked at Chen Mu curiously, seeming a little strange.
"I have always been very fond of Stark Industries' advanced technology. I hope to visit your group's high-tech up close and broaden my horizons."
Well, similarly, Chen Mu's objective was also sinister. Visiting up close, wasn't that just touching it and then analyzing their technology 100%?
To put it bluntly, he wanted to steal technology, but others couldn't see any clues.
"Heh, of course, no problem."
In Obadiah's opinion, it was just looking at their high-tech, what was the problem? He was also very willing to show off his high-tech and shock this young man from China.
"How about this, it just so happens that Tony will be back around noon. I can take you to meet him then. I think you are both young, so you should have more in common. You can discuss the specific matters with him in detail."
Obadiah was in a great mood and even prepared to personally take Chen Mu to visit Stark Industries' high-tech.
"Mr. Tony is back?"
Chen Mu blinked his eyes. It seemed to be faster than he expected. Did he miscalculate the time earlier?
But it didn't matter, as it had no impact on Chen Mu at all.
But, both young people?
Damn young people. Chen Mu was only twenty years old, while Tony was probably over thirty at this time, right?
Over thirty and he still had the nerve to call himself "young"?
"Let's go, I'll show you the real F-22 Raptor and B-2 bomber first!"
Obadiah patted Chen Mu's shoulder and said with a laugh, "I heard you were disappointed yesterday at Hammer Industries because you didn't see the real Raptor and Ghost. You came to Stark Industries, and you came to the right place. Here, you'll see the real thing, not Hammer Industries' models!"
Obadiah was very generous to this potential "big client." It was just looking, and he was watching him the whole time. Did he really think Chen Mu could steal any information?
Or, worry that he would steal these fighter jets?
What a joke!
Obadiah, in this regard, was not much different from Justin. It was nothing more than wanting to show off in front of Chen Mu. Look how backward your China is. You definitely can't develop fifth-generation fighters like ours!
Of course, this was also the difference between Obadiah and Justin. Even if Obadiah thought this, he wouldn't be stupid enough to say it out loud!
"...That's great!"
It came without any effort. Chen Mu was first stunned, then revealed an excited smile.
He was truly excited. This meant that he would definitely get the complete technology of the fifth-generation fighter this time!
Just this technology alone was enough to significantly improve China's military capabilities!
Feeling quite pleased with himself, Obadiah brought Chen Mu to a large production line. As Chen Mu had wished, he got to touch an F-22 Raptor and a B-2 bomber. Afterward, Obadiah took Chen Mu on a tour around the industrial park, showing him many other weapons and equipment.
From individual firearms to large combat aircraft, Chen Mu had the opportunity to touch them all. Poor Obadiah had no idea that his "showing off" was actually allowing all of his company's technology to flow into Chen Mu's hands.
Poor Stark Industries had followed in the footsteps of Hammer Industries, with nearly all of its technological advancements being silently acquired by Chen Mu!
And the main culprit behind all of this was none other than Obadiah himself!
But then again, whether it was Obadiah or Justin Hammer, it was likely that no one in this world could have ever imagined the appearance of Chen Mu, this "bug." Just by touching something, or even looking at it, he could take away the technology they prided themselves on as easily as plucking something from a bag.
At this moment, Chen Mu's Huaqiangbei technical reserves had actually surpassed Stark Industries, exceeding the combined total of Stark Industries and Hammer Industries!
