Creating a Company

"Yo, isn't this our prodigy, Jack? How come you..." Stark was about to deliver a sarcastic remark to his rival in love, but before he could finish, Chen Changsheng handed him the fruit basket he brought.

An enticing fragrance emanated from the fruit basket, causing Tony Stark's mouth, which was mid-sentence, to involuntarily salivate. After accepting the fruit basket from Chen Changsheng with extreme naturalness, Stark's movements froze.

What was going on? Didn't he have OCD? He couldn't accept things handed to him by others. What was happening? No, someone save me!

So, what's more terrifying than OCD is instinct. At this moment, it was clear that Stark's instinct to eat fruit had overcome his OCD...

Pepper also seemed to notice that Stark was having a difficult time and quickly stepped forward, taking the fruit basket from Stark's hand. She said to Chen Changsheng, "Sorry, Stark has some quirks. Ah, what is this? Why is it so fragrant?"

Holding the fruit basket, Pepper swallowed involuntarily as she spoke, clearly the temptation of the fruits modified by the Willow Tree was far beyond Chen Changsheng's expectations.

"Some specialties from my hometown. I hope you like them. At the same time, I hope Miss Pepper can introduce me to some sales channels. I want to sell these fruits to earn some living expenses." While Chen Changsheng was speaking to Pepper, Stark had already taken the fruit basket and opened the packaging.

Without asking if it was washed, Tony Stark directly took a bite of a very appealing fruit.

With one bite, the juice flowed out, and Tony Stark's eyebrows twitched involuntarily. It was clear that the fruit suited his taste.

Seeing Tony Stark start eating, Little Pepper, as his personal assistant, also took a fruit and took a small bite. After one bite, Pepper's eyes curved into crescent moons. It seemed Pepper was also conquered by the taste of the fruit.

"No need to sell them outside. Bring them all to Stark Industries, I'll buy them all," Tony Stark said, finishing the fruit in his hand at lightning speed and taking another one to eat while talking to Chen Changsheng.

Hearing Tony Stark's words, Chen Changsheng raised an eyebrow and said softly, "A fruit orchard covering 3000 acres, with each fruit worth at least 100 dollars. Are you sure you can eat it all?"

"3000 acres..." Stark was also taken aback by Chen Changsheng's words. Although he, Tony Stark, was as rich as a nation, that money didn't come from thin air. He had earned it all through hard work, so how could he waste it like this? But then again, these fruits were really delicious...

Pepper, upon hearing Chen Changsheng's words, was also a bit surprised. She didn't expect Chen Changsheng to set such a high price for the fruits. But then, recalling her own experience of eating the fruit, she felt it was worth more than the price.

If she had to pay $100 for such a fruit, she would gladly accept it. However, for the vast majority of the public, this price would not be so pleasant.

"What do you need us to do, Jack?" Pepper could see that Chen Changsheng already had his own plan, so she asked directly.

"My plan is very simple, Ms. Pepper. I will make a batch of fruit baskets, and I hope you, in the name of Stark Industries, will send them to your global partners and those wealthy celebrities, so they can experience the taste of mysterious fruits from the East.

This way, I believe someone will be willing to purchase them again, and then I can earn a little living expenses," Chen Changsheng briefly explained his plan to Pepper.

"Kid, that's not just a little living expense. What do I get out of this? I don't work for free," Stark said, interrupting immediately, unhappy that Pepper and Chen Changsheng were chatting so happily.

Little Pepper, standing beside him, looked at Chen Changsheng helplessly. With her boss speaking, she couldn't say much, so she could only give Chen Changsheng a reassuring look.

Seeing Tony Stark with an expression that clearly said, "Come on, beg me," Chen Changsheng smiled helplessly and said, "What will you get? How about I cover all your fruits from now on, Tony Stark? How's that?"

Fortunately, Tony Stark wasn't a petty person. He was just jealous for no reason just now. Seeing Chen Changsheng being so accommodating, he stopped making things difficult for him and said proudly, "Fruits for me and Pepper. Give us five such fruit baskets every day from now on."

"Deal," Chen Changsheng agreed readily. Chen Changsheng knew he owed Stark a favor this time.

Tony Stark understood how geniuses should interact. As a genius himself, Stark knew the value of another genius. Therefore, Tony Stark was willing to let Chen Changsheng develop with his influence, as this investment would not lose money no matter how he looked at it.

Leveraging Stark Industries' global trade and transportation routes, within a single day, all the renowned wealthy individuals worldwide received a fruit basket sent by Tony Stark.

And within just one day, this fruit basket became a global sensation. The wealthy and privileged classes were all inquiring about the origin of these fruits.

In an instant, a fruit trading company named Magic Forest became famous worldwide. This company was a joint venture between Umbrella and Stark Industries.

This name was actually chosen by Pepper. Tony Stark and Chen Changsheng wanted to complain, but given Pepper's insistence, it had to be this way.

Stark Industries only held a small stake in the company, as Pepper requested. Pepper and Tony wanted to help Chen Changsheng, but they didn't want Chen Changsheng's company to have too much of Stark Industries' influence, so they used this method to offer him some protection.

Although a $1000 fruit basket was very expensive, it was pocket change for the wealthy. Now, Chen Changsheng had a steady stream of cash income, naturally allowing him to make more plans.

Chen Changsheng directly mortgaged the Magic Forest Fruit Trading Company and borrowed $1 billion from the bank. New York banks were very willing to grant Chen Changsheng such a loan, as a company that could sell thousands of $1000 fruit baskets daily was considered a very high-quality client.

With this $1 billion, Chen Changsheng purchased a lot of equipment and recruited a large number of experts in biochemistry, thus laying the framework for the Umbrella Corporation.

Umbrella, after all, needed to research some biochemical weapons to fit its character. Tyrants, Predators, Lickers, bring them all on, that was Chen Changsheng's goal. These were simple for Chen Changsheng. Although Chen Changsheng didn't have the relevant genetic information, he could imitate the appearance based on his memory and create something similar, which was very easy.

He rented a skyscraper in New York City and placed a huge red and white umbrella-shaped logo on the rooftop. Only then did Chen Changsheng smile with satisfaction. This was how Umbrella should look. As for Raccoon City, it would come sooner or later; no need to rush.

After finishing everything, Chen Changsheng returned to Midtown High to enjoy his happy high school life. In this new world, he had to re-experience life.

"Hi, Peter, how are you today?" The first person Chen Changsheng saw upon returning to campus was Peter Parker. Peter, still wearing thick glasses, was holding a camera, searching for material for the school newspaper on campus.

"Hi, Jack. I can't be out of campus all day like you. If I were, I think my teachers would kill me." Peter also greeted Chen Changsheng happily. Their interactions were clearly good.

As Chen Changsheng, who was known as a genius, he naturally had quite a few privileges on campus. In the Prototype world, Chen Changsheng had absorbed the memories of countless scientists. Simple exams like those in American high schools were naturally no challenge for him. In front of the principal and all his teachers, he achieved a perfect score on all subjects, and Midtown High immediately granted Chen Changsheng the privilege of leaving school whenever he wished.

Peter Parker was also a genius. Peter was busy with various things every day, yet his grades were always among the top.

The saying goes that genius relies on talent. For a pseudo-genius like Chen Changsheng, even if he could do some things as well as Peter, his talent was still far inferior. In terms of talent, Chen Changsheng was not considered a genius.

At this moment, Peter was still a shy teenager without any extraordinary abilities. Naturally, he didn't have so many worries. How does the saying go? Ignorance is bliss. In Chen Changsheng's opinion, Peter was fortunate now. At the very least, he was happy, wasn't he?

Chen Changsheng had just arrived here and was busy building good relationships with various people lately, including Peter. As a good-natured person, Peter couldn't refuse Chen Changsheng's enthusiasm. Before long, they had become sworn brothers, though for now, it was just on the surface.

However, all friendly relationships start step by step. Chen Changsheng believed he had some charm...

Well, maybe he didn't have much charm. What charm could a virus aggregate possibly have?
