"Send Pepper to find Gwen?"
Tony Stark laughed speechlessly when he heard Li Si's method of "returning the favor." "What? Are you trying to introduce some profitable project to me?"
Li Si smiled. "It's not exactly about making money, but it can keep you from going bankrupt."
"Me, bankrupt? How am I going bankrupt?"
Tony Stark could not help but laugh.
"Simple. My Stein Group is also preparing to enter the energy industry."
Li Si shrugged.
"You think Stark Group can't compete with your Stein Group in the energy industry? Keep in mind, you extorted your reactor technology from me."
Tony Stark raised an eyebrow. He was not surprised that Li Si knew what he was up to. He had been making a big show of constructing a large Arc Reactor at Stark Tower lately, and the media had long since turned it into a hot topic.
"It's not that Stark Group can't compete with Stein Group. It's that you can't compete with the tide of the times—just as automobiles replaced horse-drawn carriages, and electric lights replaced kerosene lamps..."
Li Si did not hold anything back. As he spoke at length, he had Pandora send over a document outlining the wireless power grid plan.
"Tesla's wireless power transmission technology?"
Tony Stark lowered his faceplate and looked through it for a while. Several minutes later, he revealed his face again and asked Li Si with a frown.
"The concept is merely similar."
Li Si shook his head. "The technology behind wireless power transmission bases is already highly refined. Transmission loss is even lower than that of physical power grids. Once this technology is made public, replacing physical power grids will only be a matter of time, even if nobody actively pushes for it."
"You're playing with fire."
Tony Stark frowned.
