"I am Iron Man!"
Following Tony's extremely showy speech at the press conference, Stark Industries also began to launch the clean energy plan. The stock that had already hit the bottom heated up again, and in just three days, it recovered to the level before Tony was kidnapped.
In this process, Li Congxin once again made a lot of money. The original capital of 50 billion suddenly turned into a huge capital of 120 billion.
A wave of fat Li Congxin, the first thing after making money is to pay it back.
First of all, the 14.4 billion that Old Pi lent him was repaid with equivalent Stark stocks. As for whether he sold it directly or did something else, it has nothing to do with Li Congxin.
The 160 million invested by Daredevil Matthew has now become 480 million, which can be regarded as a sudden wealth.
At the suggestion of Li Congxin, Matthew withdrew 10 million of the money and gave all his subordinates a one-time bonus based on their level. The rest was simply left with Stark Industries to continue laying eggs.
From now on, his the Hand will be taken care of by Stark Industries, and he no longer has to worry about funds.
In this regard, Matthew is naturally very grateful to Li Congxin. Although he did not say anything on the surface, if Li Congxin needs it, his the Hand can be regarded as a force under Li Congxin.
Our coward became one of the masterminds behind New York's largest underground force without even a fight.
It is worth mentioning that in this financial crisis, even Mindy made huge gains.
The US$3 million originally gained from robbing the rich and giving to the poor became Stark stock worth US$18 million following Li Congxin's wave of tricks.
The little girl now can be regarded as a rich woman-level little loli.
Pym Laboratories sold the Stark stock he had just acquired and paid off the bank loan without caring, but Old Pi's attention was deeply attracted by something else.
"This is Howard's proud work, Arc Reactor?"
Li Congxin smiled proudly, "To be precise, it can only be regarded as a defective product. Even the big hole in Tony Stark's chest is only a semi-finished product."
After a slight pause, he continued to explain, "Howard Stark was inspired to make this thing from Tesseract, which is what you call Infinite Energy, so the real finished product will be an unknown element that can simulate Tesseract, not some palladium element."
"How did you know?" Old Pi had just asked, and immediately added, "You don't need to tell me, you must have seen it in the Quantum Realm, right?"
Looking at Old Pi's half-smiling look, I had already seen through everything, but I refused to say anything, and Li Congxin just shrugged indifferently.
The conversation changed, but I heard him continue, "Next, I plan to expand your laboratory, or add a few more R&D groups, hire some scientists with ideas, and study what they are best at. We will be responsible for paying for it and getting the results, and everyone will be managed by you, how about it?"
"You have money to burn!" Pym snorted, but did not object. "Get the money ready, and I will give you a complete plan in two days."
Li Congxin wants to expand the laboratory and recruit more scientists to engage in research, which will actually be helpful to Old Pi.
After all, manpower is limited, but Quantum Realm is unlimited.
What other scientists have researched may not necessarily be helpful to his great cause of rescuing his wife.
Just like this Arc Reactor, it is a very good energy supply device.
"So, what are you going to do next?"
Li Congxin heard this and replied casually, "Write a script."
"Write a script?"
"Yes!" Li Congxin said with a smile, "Do you think this reactor was given to me for free by Tony Stark?"
"He knew that I wanted to develop the film and television market, and he required that the protagonist of the next work must be named Stark. This was also one of the conditions for him to give me this reactor."
Old Pi couldn't help but frown when he heard this. "So, you are going to praise Stark for this thing?"
Although I like Arc Reactor very much, Old Pi would still be a little unhappy if this would create a glorious image for the Stark family.
But the smile on Li Congxin's face turned evil, "Singing praises? That doesn't exist!"
"The pen is in my hand. Isn't it just me writing how the plot develops?" He winked mischievously and continued, "It makes me unhappy. Even if you are the protagonist, I will write it down for you."
Old Pi then showed a happy smile as expected, "Have you thought about the name of the script?"
Li Congxin looked straight ahead and said calmly, "A Song of Ice and Fire."
Money does not equal identity and status, and this principle makes sense in any excess.
Even in America, which claims to be free, having money may not necessarily mean you can gain respect from others.
Under normal circumstances, you can do a lot of things with money. After all, everyone is playing cards at the same table, and no one is willing to do anything that breaks the rules of the game.
But don't forget to use this sentence to describe capitalists:
When the profit reaches 10%, some people are ready to take action; when the profit reaches 50%, some people dare to take risks; when the profit reaches 100%, they dare to trample all laws in the world; and when the profit reaches 300%, they are not even afraid of going to the gallows.
Who said this?
It's Lu...
Eh... forget it, there's no need for that.
The important thing is that when the benefits are big enough, someone will definitely break the rules of the game.
Just like nine years ago, the congressmen held an audience meeting and asked Li Congxin to hand over Ant-Man Suit. It seems that in the near future, they will do the same and ask Tony to hand over Iron Man suit.
This is breaking the rules of the game!
The difference is that Tony, who is sitting on Stark Industries, can choose to overturn the table, so he can fight back forcefully when facing those politicians.
Because once Tony flips the table, although he himself will suffer great losses, he will definitely make it impossible for the other party to continue to be his parliamentarian.
Li Congxin, on the other hand, could only retreat and bully them into being unable to identify the authenticity of Ant-Man Suit, make jokes to get through, and then hide in the mouse hole with Old Pi, Hope and Mindy.
This is the inevitable choice brought about by identity and status, and even Li Congxin has done the best he can.
But even so, his handling method still involves huge risks and grievances compared to Tony.
There is only one reason for this: he is not qualified to turn the table over!
Now that he has money in his hands, the first thing Li Congxin needs to do is to use his net worth of 100 billion to buy someone who can lift the table.
In the next six months, Li Congxin began to acquire media and entertainment companies, TV stations, newspapers, theaters and other physical industries in an orderly manner, becoming the top giant in the America entertainment industry in a short period of time!
Time flies like running water, and in a blink of an eye, it is already the end of 2008. The first snow in 2008 came a little later than in 1998.
On this snowy day, it was the premiere of "Frozen", Nirvana Pictures's first work after Li Congxin's return.
At this premiere, America celebrities from all walks of life gathered, and even Obama brought his daughter to attend this event.
