Under everyone's watchful eyes, Colin agreed to take over as the chairman of Stark Industries.
At the same time, a red light shot out from the system interface and entered Colin's forehead.
He immediately felt a burning energy circulating around his body.
"Good, you have guts."
Edward nodded in satisfaction.
A tiger father does not have a dog son.
As the eldest son of the Stark family, he should have such courage and boldness.
Immediately after, Howard expressed his stance.
Although he retired behind the scenes, he would still give advice on the development of Stark Industries and assist Colin in managing the company.
These words dispelled the doubts of some shareholders and investors.
After all, in many people's eyes, Colin was still too young to take on such a heavy responsibility alone. It would be much better if Howard could help him.
"Alright, the press conference is over. Everyone, please raise your glasses and enjoy the atmosphere of the cocktail party.”
This time, it was not only a press conference for Stark Industries, but also a celebration party for the company.
During the banquet, they toasted and chatted merrily.
Howard brought Colin off the stage and chatted with the company's shareholders and investors.
On the surface, this action was to introduce the higher-ups to Colin, but in fact, it was also to release a signal to help Colin establish a firm foothold in the high position and suppress those with ulterior motives.
Things were different now.
Colin had long since torn off the label of a silkpants. He had an imposing appearance and an extraordinary way of speaking, which surprised many people and made them look at him in a new light.
"Edward, my old friend, the news you announced today was too sudden.”
At this moment, Obadiah walked over from the crowd and clinked glasses with Howard and Colin.
"Times have changed. It's time for young people to take charge.”
Howard said with a smile.
Once upon a time, Howard and Obadiah were both business partners and deep friends.
As Stark Industries became more and more prosperous, Obadiah's desire for power also became more and more intense.
However, both parties had a tacit understanding and did not expose it.
"That's true. Fortunately, you found an outstanding successor for Stark Industries.”
As he spoke, Obadiah looked at Colin with a smile and changed the topic."Colin, congratulations on becoming the new chairman. Under your leadership, Stark Industries will definitely reach new heights.”
"Of course not. We can't do without the support of you shareholders.”
Colin said with a fake smile as he received the other party's hypocritical flattery.
Colin played with the wine glass in his hand without looking away. In contrast, he seemed more interested in the wine glass.
Seeing this scene, Obadiah frowned slightly, and a hint of darkness flashed in his long and narrow eyes.
Unknowingly, the atmosphere became a little strange.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Obadiah, Howard went to entertain the other guests.
Colin didn't want to bother with Obadiah and turned to leave.
However, Obadiah caught up from behind.
He approached Colin and whispered,""Chairman, as a member of the board of directors, I have some suggestions for the development of the company.”
"Are you talking about the development of the military business?”
"That's right. Stark Industries 'business scope involves military, aerospace, and other industries, but the most fundamental is still the military industry.”
Colin nodded slightly and did not refute.
It was undeniable that Stark Industries was a company that specialized in firearms.
second| During the war, Stark sold a large number of firearms to the US military, which led to a huge war.| Only then did they stand out and become a powerful and large-scale military enterprise.
This could be said to be the history of Stark Industries, but it could also be said to be a dark history.
Obadiah's face was full of fat, and his eyes narrowed into slits, revealing a shrewd and cunning light. He continued,
"As you know, in the eyes of the outside world, Stark Industries relies on war.| People who make a fortune are controversial and don't have a good impression of them. You've just taken office, so this might have a certain impact on your reputation.”
"Besides, those people at the Hexagon are also very troublesome and difficult to deal with…If you don't worry, I can help you with this. I will do my best to manage this business.”
His fingertips tapped the wine glass lightly."I finally revealed my fox tail."
In the original novel,
After Howard was killed by the Winter Soldiers, Tony, who was still in university, hurriedly took over Stark Industries.
At that time, Tony was very arrogant and tired of managing the daily chores of a big company. He also cared about his reputation.
Obadiah was aware of this. In the name of sharing the pressure for the other party, he took the opportunity to take over the company's arms business and empty Tony's power.
"Coincidentally, I happen to be very interested in the military business. I can handle it myself, so I don't need to trouble you.”
Colin curled his lips and said mockingly.
After all, the military business was Stark's lifeline. How could it be left to someone else?
As for reputation, Colin didn't care.
What was reputation? Could it be eaten?
Colin refuted decisively, leaving no room for negotiation.
He waved his hand and left.
Obadia clenched his fists as he watched Colin leave, his face dark.
……
After the party, Colin drove home.
Along the way, under the guidance of the aura, Colin could still feel that someone was following him and spying on him.
It was Hydra!
It seemed that they had not given up yet.
Colin looked away from the window and looked at his open palm.
He exerted a bit of strength in his palm, and a wave of intense lava power circulated around his body. It immediately condensed in his palm, as if it would spew out at any time.
"I was just worrying about not having a place to use the ability I just obtained.”
At the thought of this, the corners of Colin's mouth curled up into a playful smile.
