Chapter 159 Stark Is Attacked

"How was your fun yesterday? Mr. Killian, you should know that in order to hold this welcoming dinner for you, countless ladies of the right age chose to come and support you after knowing it!"

"How was it? Did you fancy any?"

After the award ceremony, the White House luncheon took its place, and Killian also walked over with the president at his signal, and during the process, President Ellis asked in a friendly manner.

"The ladies are very enthusiastic, but I think I'm still used to being single."

"After all, it's good to be alone, at least you can be free and enjoy the freedom of one person, right?"

After hearing the president's words, Killian smiled and replied.

"Hahahaha, that's true, you and I really think a lot like when we were young."

"But to be honest, sometimes I really should suggest you go see some kids, they will completely change you and make you feel unprecedented happiness from the inside out!"

After hearing Killian's words, the president also smiled and continued.

In the subsequent chat, as a president who has long been accustomed to various social and diplomatic occasions, Ellis has long known how to cleverly get closer to others. Therefore, during the entire conversation, Ellis talked about the high school and college life of the two and when he started a business. Ellis said that he had also started a business like Killian, but it was a complete failure, so he had no choice but to choose politics.

The atmosphere of the whole chat gave Killian the feeling that he was chatting with an elder at home. Although the other party was more serious, the overall feeling was friendly and kind, not the president of a country who was high above.

After chatting for a while, with the normal start of the lunch meeting, everyone began to eat the best food elegantly under the aristocratic court etiquette.

"Hello, Mr. President and Mr. Killian, I am a reporter from the Bugle Daily. Can I take a photo for you?"

Just as Killian was accompanying the president for dinner, a young man from nowhere rushed in, carrying a heavy camera and asked the two with expectation.

The guard who just reacted wanted to pull him out, but was stopped by the president.

"Of course."

After the initial surprise, President Ellis raised his eyebrows, then said to the other party with a friendly and polite smile.

Then, the president and Killian sat together with their backs straight, and then with a "click", the picture froze.

The picture of the young and most influential entrepreneur in the United States having lunch with the president will be spread all over the world with the printing of this newspaper.

...

"What are you talking about? Tony Stark was attacked?"

Just when Killian said goodbye to the president and was about to go home, Ross also found Killian at this time, hoping that their company's robots would search for the other party's whereabouts.

And in order to show his sincerity, Obadestan, the interim chairman of the Stark Group, also arranged for Miss Pepper, the secretary of the Stark Group, to come and seek his help.

"Sir Killian, I'm sorry, but it's just as I said. Tony was attacked by terrorists on his way back from Afghanistan just after he had negotiated the order."

"Now the whole person is missing, and our only hope for this is you, Sir Killian!"

"We are even willing to pay 5 billion US dollars as a reward for this expense, and if Tony returns safely, all the rewards will be calculated separately."

At this time, under the leadership of Ross, Pepper, who successfully met Killian, said to Killian in a pleading tone.

And looking at the other party for some reason, Killian seemed to see his predecessor, the same scene, the same tone, but he was more humble and worshipful than the other party.

After all, that was the legendary genius, playboy, famous entrepreneur, and the soul of the Stark Group-Tony Stark.

But the predecessor was left there for a night, and it was not until the next morning that Killian officially resurrected from this body.

"Five billion?! Do you think I'm someone who needs that five billion?"

"Excuse me, a person who can't even fully protect his own safety and is in danger, I think it's better for him to die like this."

"At least the world has one less playboy and rich man who never learns how to respect others, and one more mature and stable Obadiastan to manage the affairs of the Stark Group. Isn't that good?"

After hearing Pepper mention Tony, for some reason, Killian's heart also surged with great irritability, and then he said to her with an angry and impatient face.

Then, Killian turned around and got in the car without waiting for her to say anything else and drove towards his villa in Washington.

"Dabai! How is the share of Stark Group now?"

Sitting in the car, Killian also pondered for a while and then spoke.

"Sir! After the news that Mr. Tony Stark was in danger, the stock price of Stark Group has dropped by 30% and is still falling."

"It is suspected that several institutions are shorting Stark Group."

After hearing Killian's words, Dabai's thoughtful words immediately rang out from Killian's headset.

"Really? Start slowly acquiring shares of the Stark Group that have been sold off on the market, create hundreds of more accounts, and operate at the same time, so as not to be discovered."

After hearing Dabai's answer, Killian's lips couldn't help but curve.

Originally, he had never cared about the Stark Group. After all, he was not a grudge-bearing person. Wasn't he just left hanging on the rooftop all night and let go?

What a big deal, at worst, when your company breaks out of the earth, you can just acquire it directly.

Even when Killian's company grows in size later, it can directly crush it with all-round products, which can infinitely squeeze the Stark Group's living space and then surround it to death.

But he didn't expect that before he could take action first, Tony Stark's pillow partner couldn't help but take action first.

But looking at the time, I saw that it was just 2001, seven years earlier than the time when Obadestan took action in the original work. I have to say that Killian couldn't help but think about Tonys at this moment. Tucker sighed.

His uncle Obadestan was not even willing to tolerate him for seven more years.

But Killian can also understand that after all, when Tony Stark develops extraordinary weapons and then tries to get his hands on the rights in Obadestan's hands in the company, there is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation between the two people.

Obadestan is the kind of person who pursues ultimate power. One of the reasons why he tolerated Tony Stark's growth before is because Tony Stark has always been shown as a playboy. It can be said that he is not piling up. It's on the way to piling.

And from time to time, he can use his smart little brain to come up with many novel and powerful weapons for the company. The most important thing is that he is not obsessed with power and only cares about all kinds of beauties.

For this reason, Obadestan was extremely at ease and had been getting along with Tony for more than ten years.

It's just that the playboy has to grow up after all. As Tony turns 30, he has been jumping back and forth repeatedly on the edge of Obadestan's tolerance limit. In addition, the other party has developed an army of drones in advance.

This can be said to be an epoch-making masterpiece that can directly change the pattern of future wars. For Obadestan, its appeal is no less than that of the Ark reactor launched by Tony Stark in the original work.

As a result, Obadestan was ready to cross the river and tear down the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey.

Kilian even now estimates that the other party has contacted the Ten Commandments Gang in Afghanistan to handle this matter. The only difference is that he doesn't know whether the Ten Commandments Gang will still obey Obadestan's words.

After all, rather than buying arms from Obadestan, they wanted to make their own arms.

"Okay, Sir!"

"But there is one more thing, Sir! I think it is necessary to report it!"

After Dabai responded, he immediately spoke.

"What's wrong?"

After hearing what Baymax said, Killian couldn't help but ask.

"Sir, this is a problem with smartphone partners. Sanxin Company, which has reached strategic cooperation with us, as well as several communication manufacturers and spare parts processing factories in California, South Korea and other places have announced the unilateral termination of cooperation and expressed their willingness to pay full compensation. compensation.”

At this time, Dabai gave an overview of the overall matter.

Then all the manufacturers and processing projects that had announced the unilateral termination of cooperation were listed.

It can be said that they are basically manufacturers of Apple series and Sanxin Qualcomm, and they all came to seek cooperation at the beginning, even if they chose loss-making agents.

Killian knew their purpose from the beginning, which was just to get a feel for the competition and then make it himself.

Killian didn't care. Anyway, the business cooperation agreement was there. They had been working together for 5 years, and several specialized mobile phone stores were responsible for global sales. For this reason, they also agreed to pay tens of billions of dollars in compensation, which would often hurt your muscles and bones. Even if If they choose to terminate the contract, they must also consider whether the company can afford the price.

What they didn't expect was that this year had just begun, and the second year hadn't even arrived, yet they were so eager to go solo.

"It's interesting! This is the first time I've encountered this kind of betrayal!"

After hearing what Baymax said, Killian couldn't help but said with an angry smile.

You must know that smartphones can be said to be one of Kilian's most important sources of reputation. Now the other party suddenly comes up with a trick to drain the salary from the bottom of the cauldron, which cannot be said to be endless.

Killian even had a hunch that even if these mobile phone companies did not have their own mobile phones, they would definitely copy their company's mobile phones.

Electronic products do not have much value in the first place. As long as technology can barely keep up, you can even keep up with others in a few years or more after decades or hundreds of years of scientific and technological efforts.

There is no need to pay attention to methods when reproducing something like this.

Now it seems that these companies have planned to learn as quickly as possible when they first cooperated with them, and then pay liquidated damages and fly out alone.

But even so, things won't end like this for Killian.

Originally, when it was released, Killian had nothing to hide about things like mobile phones, and he had been mentally prepared for them to be copied from the very beginning.

But if you just want to do research without any malicious intent and everyone abides by the contract and waits for 5 years, and you have figured it out and want to do research and development yourself, then there is no problem.

But you are now clearly ill-intentioned.

He wants to know how these fools who have eaten the heart of a bear and the leopard want to play.

...

On the other hand, South Korea's Sanxin Company.

As one of the largest families in South Korea, the Lee family operates Sanxin companies under its umbrella, including Sanxin Electronics, Sanxin SDI, Sanxin SDS, Sanxin Motor, Sanxin Corning, Sanxin Network, Sanxin Fire, Sanxin Securities, Sanxin Commodities, Sanxin Heavy Industry, Sanxin Engineering, Sanxin Aviation and Sanxin Life, which can be said to cover all areas of the entire Korean people's expenditure.

It is a well-deserved ancient king-level chaebol in the local area.

Although Pioneer Technology's company has always had extremely hot sales, the main point is that it still relies on the communication signal base stations built in cooperation with various countries.

Even in South Korea, most of the signal base stations are built by their company.

After all, if Pioneer Technology is to be fully deployed globally, it is impossible to do so in just half a year.

So the advantage of cooperating with local governments of various countries or large consortiums like Sanxin is that it can complete a comprehensive deployment in a short period of time.

But the disadvantage is also revealed, that is, the other party can break the contract in a minute and replace it with their own equipment.

At this moment, in the office of the chairman of Sanxin in Seoul, South Korea, representatives of Apple and other mobile phone manufacturers have also rushed over after receiving the news from Sanxin Group.

"Father, excuse me, why do you want to terminate the cooperation with Pioneer Technology?"

"Didn't you say during the Chinese New Year that we have earned more than all other industries combined in this period of time?"

"And if we terminate it now, our company will also face a compensation of more than 10 billion US dollars!"

At this time, on the way to the company with his father, Li Bingcheng, the son of the current chairman of Sanxin, Li Chengxiu, couldn't help but ask after hearing his father's arrangement in the company.

You have to know that this is a unilateral termination of cooperation. Let's not talk about how other companies and people in the world view them. The huge liquidated damages alone are enough to hurt people.

You have to know that the liquidated damages agreed by the two companies are definitely not a joke. It is based on special data evaluation.

Although Samsung's turnover in 2000 was 119.5 billion US dollars, its net profit was only 7.3 billion US dollars.

And the huge compensation of tens of billions of dollars can be said to mean that Samsung will not have any revenue or profit in the next 1-3 years, which is absolutely fatal for a large company like them.

Because everyone is developing, and at this time point, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is definitely a year of rapid development in all walks of life, although some top-notch cutting-edge industries and pioneering technologies occupy the top position.

But even the middle and lower routes are enough for their rapid development.

And now at this time point, let alone 1-3 years, even a few months is unbearable for a large group.

Moreover, the cooperation between the two companies is a win-win situation. Why should such a good mutually beneficial thing be terminated?

Did his father dislike that their company made too much money this year?

In other words, it was his father who made the decision. Otherwise, if it was someone else, he would have asked the other party to pack up and leave in a minute.

"Li Bingcheng!! This is the result of the discussion between me and the board of directors. You just need to do your own job well! No need to ask why!"

"As a qualified heir, you should learn to find problems by yourself."

"This is just like God will not give any explanation why he created human beings, but he does not care about human beings and lets them destroy themselves. If everyone asks why, do you think God still needs to create human beings?"

Sitting in the stretched car, Li Chengxiu lit a Cuban cigar with the help of a black silk female secretary who is the world's top in terms of appearance and figure, and then spoke to his son beside him in a flat tone.

"Father, I think that as the heir of the company, your son, I have the right to know what happened here, don't I?"

"And I admit that you are right, let the parties find out for themselves, but do you think that at this time, our company will soon face the fierce attack of the giant multinational company Pioneer Technology, and at this time point, if I really have to wait until I find out everything myself, is it really too late?"

After hearing his father's words, Li Bingcheng insisted on continuing to speak without giving in.

After hearing the dispute between the father and son, the secretary on the side could not help but lower his head, doing his own thing, trying his best to prevent these words from entering his ears.

After all, she has worked in this company for so long, and she knows the tempers of these two fathers and sons very well. It can be said that in the whole of Korea, they really have the power of life and death. The former was dragged out by the bodyguard because he violated the son's taboo. Until now, no one knows where the secretary was taken.

Anyway, in the circle of the president's secretaries, there is only one saying, that is, talk less, watch less, do more, and be obedient.
