Chapter 93: Shares, Attack, Iron Monger
Tang Song put down his knife and fork, picked up a salt-baked crab leg from the tray, took a pair of scissors, gently cut open the Snow Crab leg, and pulled out the tender white crab meat inside.
He placed the crystal-clear, tender white crab meat onto an exquisite small plate. Tang Song snapped his fingers behind him.
"J.A.R.V.I.S., could you please get me some crab vinegar!"
Tang Song's request was quickly answered. A mechanical arm extended towards Tang Song, holding a small dish of prepared crab vinegar.
"Thank you!"
Tang Song took the crab vinegar and politely said thanks.
"You're welcome, sir," J.A.R.V.I.S.'s steady, rich stereo voice seemed to echo in Tang Song's ears.
"Artificial intelligence. It's hard to imagine that we humans can achieve this level relying on technology!"
From J.A.R.V.I.S., the artificial intelligence, Tang Song thought of the magic treasures in the Jambudvīpa World.
The most fundamental difference between magic treasures and magic tools is the birth of their own divine sense.
Unless passed down from master to disciple, or choosing their own master, others can never seize them.
Even if one's magic power is ten times higher than the original owner's, they can only be confined. This is just like J.A.R.V.I.S.; unless authorized, others have no way to use him at all.
Unless the magic treasure's divine sense is dispersed,
But in that case, the magic treasure would fall to the level of a magic tool, losing its original agility/spirituality.
Only those who have cultivated to the Nascent Divinity stage can refine magic treasures. To manipulate magic treasures, one needs at least the cultivation of Sha Condensation or Refining Astral Qi. Any lower cultivation would be unable to truly activate a magic treasure.
Magic treasures at this level are called Void Spirit in the Jambudvīpa World.
Tang Song poured the crab vinegar over the crab meat, forked a piece of crab leg meat into his mouth, and savored the sweet and fragrant taste of the crab meat in his mouth.
Seeing Tang Song eating so happily, Tony Stark, feeling somewhat helpless, was fiercely eating his nutritional meal on the side.
Freshly squeezed bitter melon juice and some coarse buckwheat bread were indeed hard to describe in terms of taste.
Watching Boss Tang happily eating crab and drinking wine, Tony Stark couldn't help but voice his feelings: "He came from Stark's hands, unique in the entire world!"
"Indeed, a uniquely brilliant mind," Tang Song didn't refute Stark's words but praised him along his line of thought.
"Many people only look at the rise and fall of Stark's stock price. What I value is precisely Mr. Tony Stark's brilliant mind!"
"Since artificial intelligence can be developed, I believe that even if Stark Industries leaves the arms industry, with Mr. Tony Stark present, the company still has great potential!"
"I am very optimistic about the development of Stark Industries, so I'm sorry, the shares I hold will not be sold!"
At this moment, a woman in professional attire walked in quickly from outside, carrying a bag. She seemed to have heard Tang Song's words, as she didn't even have time to put down her bag.
"Mr. Tang, perhaps you don't have much concept of company operations. After Stark Industries cut off the weapon manufacturing division, its revenue decreased by at least 60%," Ms. Pepper Potts tried to persuade Tang Song:
"Currently, the stock of Stark Industries that you purchased at a high price has shrunk by at least one-third.
If I were you, cashing out now would be a wise choice to cut your losses in time."
Pepper Potts, a woman of considerable legend.
After all, not just any woman could manage Tony Stark.
Honestly, Pepper's appearance wasn't outstanding, at least not in Tang Song's eyes.
Dressed in professional attire, her barely delicate face was dotted with a few freckles.
However, she acted decisively and energetically, looking like a strong businesswoman.
It made sense. In a Mary Sue novel, Pepper would be a complete winner in life.
From a female secretary, she rose to become the president's wife with a net worth of billions, defeating countless mistresses who tried to climb the ranks.
When she was a secretary, she had to deal with the women in Tony Stark's room every morning.
Later, she served as the executive president of Stark Industries, and her business capabilities could be said to surpass Tony Stark's.
Such a woman, even Boss Tang couldn't help but look at her differently.
"Hello, Ms. Pepper Potts, I am Tang Song!"
Tang Song looked at Pepper Potts, stood up proactively, and extended his hand.
"Hello, Mr. Tang!"
Pepper smiled and shook hands with Tang Song.
Tony Stark stood nearby, his eyes fixed on their hands. Seeing that Tang Song only shook her hand briefly before letting go, he let out a long sigh of relief.
It really was like brine curdling tofu, one thing conquering another. Hearing Tony Stark's sudden change in breathing rate, Tang Song couldn't help but find it amusing.
To each their own; Boss Tang didn't like Pepper's type.
While Boss Tang didn't have many standards for finding women, there was one prerequisite: they had to be beautiful.
Pepper Potts perfectly fit the saying, "Marry for virtue." As for appearance, that was a matter of personal taste.
It wasn't surprising that Tony Stark was nervous. As an experienced playboy,
Boss Tang was handsome and wealthy. Standing next to Pepper, even Tony Stark couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.
Tony Stark walked over to Pepper, asking about company matters, and intentionally or unintentionally, he put distance between Tang Song and Pepper Potts.
Tang Song's refusal made Pepper's expression somewhat difficult.
Inviting Tang Song to the villa as a guest was actually her idea.
Because Boss Tang currently held 7.5% of Stark Industries' shares.
Stark Industries was founded by Tony Stark's grandfather and developed into the world's top industrial company through three generations: Howard Stark, and Tony Stark.
However, due to benefit exchange and resource binding,
Stark Industries, like many other large companies, engaged in cross-shareholding and benefit exchange with various interested parties.
The Military, some partners, and a certain unnamed Agent Organization all held a large number of Stark Industries shares.
Although the Stark Family had always been the major shareholder of Stark Industries, their family's shares were not as numerous as one might imagine.
Compared to Norman Osborn, Tony Stark, thanks to his indispensable brilliant mind, had the final say in Stark Industries.
Essentially, to put it plainly, Tony Stark could lead everyone to make money, so in the company, whatever Tony Stark said, went.
However, this time Tony Stark announced the closure of the weapon manufacturing division and planned to fully enter the energy industry instead.
This was like Pony Ma of Tencent holding a press conference and announcing that Tencent would completely withdraw from the game industry, and the group would no longer develop or operate any games in the future.
Then you'd see if Tencent's shareholders would agree, and what Tencent's stock price would become.
Tony Stark's decision was undoubtedly bleeding Stark Industries dry from its main artery.
The shareholders immediately exploded.
The feedback from the financial market was the most realistic.
Similarly, less than a day after Tony Stark announced the closure of the weapon manufacturing division, Stark Industries' stock price plummeted.
Stark Industries faced its most severe market downturn in history, and everyone was frantically selling their Stark Industries stock.
For Tony Stark, this was a perfect opportunity to buy back shares.
Tony Stark was an inventive genius, once hailed as one of the eight smartest people in the Marvel World.
While his business acumen wasn't as innate as his inventions, he had Pepper Potts, who was skilled in management, working under him.
As Tony Stark's personal and administrative secretary, Pepper, like everyone else, didn't understand why Tony Stark would abandon the arms market.
However, she trusted Tony Stark, especially after he showed her his Arc Reactor.
She realized the huge profit that the stock price crash could bring.
Therefore, Pepper and Tony Stark discussed it and decided to take this opportunity to repurchase Stark Industries' stock.
Pepper directly used the authorization Tony Stark gave her for J.A.R.V.I.S. to conduct share buyback through several secret overseas accounts of the Stark Family.
