Mark cannot sacrifice himself to save the lives of others like Tony·Stark.
But he also cannot accept people who trample on the lives of innocent people at will.
"Killian, do you want to heal your leg?"
After Killian calmed down, Mark asked.
He knew that Killian had always felt inferior because of his disabled legs. If he wanted to really impress the other party, this would undoubtedly be a good breakthrough.
"Who are you anyway? What's your purpose in coming to me?"
Killian did not answer Mark's question, but asked in return.
Now that he has regained his senses, he knows that the mysterious man Mark suddenly found him, and his purpose must not be simple.
"I am very optimistic about the Extremis virus project developed by your company and want to invest in your company."
Mark didn't take it seriously and directly stated his purpose.
"What are your conditions?"
Killian asked calmly.
He used to go around looking for connections to attract investment, but all of them were rejected.
Killian certainly didn't believe that Mark would be so kind and make a special trip to give him an investment.
"First, I can invest 10 million US dollars in your company, but I have to get 51% of the controlling stake. I will have the final say in the company from now on!"
Mark made his first condition.
He must take control of the company into his hands.
Otherwise, without him watching, who knows whether Killian will continue to fool around behind his back and follow the same old path?
Of course, Mark can also ask for more equity, but there is no need to do so.
Killian and Maya·Hanson are all truly talented scientists. If you want to win them over, you must give up some benefits.
"This is impossible..."
Killian instinctively wants to refuse.
Because of his own disability, Killian has a low self-esteem, sensitivity, and a strong desire to control.
He cooperated with Maya·Hanson to establish the Future Pharma company.
But Killian only let Maya·Hanson be responsible for the research and development of Extremis virus in the laboratory, and the entire company's operations were under his control.
Now that Mark wants to take away control of the company, Killian certainly cannot accept it.
"Second, immediately close the laboratory you secretly established in North Carolina! You must first cooperate with Maya·Hanson to complete the medical application of Extremis virus. Only after getting my permission can you use Extremis virus for human body enhancement and transformation."
Mark stated his second condition.
The current Extremis virus is only the first-generation version, and it is still far from the stable version Extremis virus that has no side effects.
Mark plans to use Extremis virus in medical treatment first, and then consider studying Extremis virus's enhanced transformation of the human body when funds are sufficient in the future.
Otherwise, not only will the funds be wasted, but also like Killian in the original plot, a group of inhuman things will be created.
"How do you know about my laboratory?"
Killian looked like he had seen a ghost, the palm of his hand holding the phone was trembling, and he looked around with a look of horror.
He felt as if there was a pair of eyes in the dark, watching his every move, leaving him with no secrets.
In fact, his feeling was correct. Mark had already invaded Killian's laboratory.
He was looking at the panicked Killian through the surveillance camera in the laboratory.
"These are my two conditions, what do you think about it, Killian?"
Mark asked in a calm tone.
He is not afraid at all that Killian will not agree.
After all, Mark has mastered the criminal evidence of Killian and can send him to jail at any time. The other party has no choice at all!
Killian obviously understands this.
He finally calmed down and reluctantly accepted the reality.
But he was still a little unwilling. "Why do you want me to cooperate with Maya to study the medical application of Extremis virus, instead of letting her cooperate with me to use Extremis virus in body strengthening and transformation? This direction is obviously more promising!"
This is also the disagreement between Killian and Maya·Hanson.
Maya·Hanson only wants to use Extremis virus in medical treatment to benefit mankind, and does not want to turn it into a biochemical weapon.
Because Killian was born with a disability, he longed for a strong and strong body, and was even more keen on studying Extremis virus's body-strengthening transformation.
"The current technical conditions are not yet mature, but I can guarantee that in ten years, no less than 10 billion US dollars will be invested in Extremis virus's enhanced body transformation. This can be written into the contract."
Mark first drew a big pie for Killian.
In fact, the research direction of Killian is indeed more promising than the research direction of Maya·Hanson.
As long as you can succeed, no matter how much money you invest, it's worth it.
But precisely because Killian's plan is too advanced, it is not suitable for implementation now.
Under Mark's coercion and inducement, Killian, who did not want to go to jail, reluctantly chose to compromise.
"This... okay, I can agree to all your conditions."
"When you return to the company tomorrow, I will entrust a lawyer to sign an acquisition agreement with you."
After Mark finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Then he ordered Alice: "Alice, keep an eye on Killian from now on! If he makes any changes, report to me at any time."
Although Killian seems to have surrendered, Mark will not relax its surveillance on him.
After all, this guy will become a big villain in the future, so you can never be too wary of him.
As expected, Killian is not that easy to give in.
After ending the call with Mark, he immediately contacted a construction team in an attempt to move his laboratory to another more secluded place overnight.
If he finds an opportunity in the future, he will continue his research in secret.
He guessed that Mark might have invaded the laboratory's network, so he cut off all networks in advance.
But Killian didn't know that Mark had already let Alice invade a nearby communication base station.
All the calls he made on his mobile phone were being monitored by Alice.
"Hey, are you here? My address is..."
When Killian contacted the construction team and told the other party his detailed address, Mark connected to the call.
"Killian, it seems that you have not sincerely agreed to accept my conditions! Perhaps, Prison should be your destination for the rest of your life."
Mark's slightly gloomy voice suddenly reached Killian's ears.
"Ah!"
Killian exclaimed in fright and almost threw the phone away, "You, you, are you a human or a ghost?"
How come this mysterious guy is everywhere like a ghost!
"Hmph, this is your last chance! Killian, I hope you will not do anything against my orders again, otherwise the consequences will be something you don't want to see."
Leaving a final warning, Mark hung up the phone.
Killian's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He didn't dare to go against the rules anymore and had no choice but to close the laboratory completely.
