Selling the armor designed by Tony to ordinary people is probably the craziest decision Shen He has made since he came to this world.
However, the Marvel world is crazy enough.
Tony alone has technology far beyond this world, even surpassing many alien civilizations. Coupled with the various resources in Shen He's hands, Chaldea already has the best farming conditions.
While enjoying his own life, if he can really develop a first civilization in the universe, it will not be in vain for him to travel through time.
In the subsequent product launch conference, the virtual reality company introduced in detail the terms of sale and use of this "war weapon".
Even with a strict online control system, not everyone can use it at will. It is usually in a weapon blockade state and can be used for home use or even for work. Only when the system determines that the use of weapons to counterattack is allowed, can the attack be carried out.
In addition, a variety of simple modes can be used without human control.
Including medical mode, chef mode, repairman mode...
The civilian version is a completely universal robot.
Originally, with Tony's technology and Jarvis who can evolve on his own, it would not be difficult to do this, but as a weapon designer, Tony has never seriously studied the commercial needs of the civilian field.
At the end of the press conference, it was like a carnival feast for all mankind.
Even those who think they are far away from danger will want such a super-era product that combines "super-powerful clones", "robot butlers" and "virtual reality games".
Then, it was time for the quotation.
"We don't plan to sell these two instruments together." Shen He took the microphone. "Today's press conference can actually be seen as two products. The third-generation immersive virtual sleeping cabin of the virtual reality company is priced at 38,000 US dollars and is the priority sales, while Tony's "war weapon" is temporarily only available to those who have passed the simulation training in the virtual world."
Through Jarvis, even designing games has become simple.
Boring programming work is a matter of a moment for Jarvis. In terms of creative design, as a super-era virtual reality experience, even the most old-fashioned ideas can be very attractive.
However, so far, the only game in virtual reality is to control the "war weapon" for training, which includes strict assessment and war simulation. The simulated war target is still the aliens in New York.
As Shen He said, only those who pass the assessment are eligible to buy it.
"I plan to cooperate with Stark Industries to create a Guardian Company." Shen He threw out another heavy news at the end of the press conference, "Steve will be the head of the Guardian Company, and the existing Guardian industry will be gradually transferred to it. At that time, if there are people who perform well in the assessment of the "war weapon", we will hire them with high salaries."
Maybe there are too many heavy news today, and most people have become numb.
However, for those who used to worship the guardians and wore tight clothes to the streets to imitate the guardians, this is the most exciting news for them today.
Because with this "war weapon", they also have the opportunity to become real guardians.
In the eyes of a few smart people.
This so-called "Guardian Company" will become the peripheral armed force of Chaldea, further expanding their influence to the world.
There is no doubt that the World Security Council has reached the time when it must make a choice.
Because all of Chaldea's previous actions were linked together after today's product launch, and with a posture that no one in the world had expected, they completely established their new position in the world.
As the old ruler, facing this force that showed a behemoth posture, should they "accept" or "resist"?
This is actually not determined by the will of the World Security Council.
The ruler of the Marvel world does not represent the ruler himself, but many interest groups.
Chaldea already has enough interests, enough force, and enough bargaining chips in its hands.
What remains will be a long period of temptation, negotiation, and calculation.
Shen He increasingly hopes that Lelouch can finish his work quickly and come to help him. After all, in the subsequent relief, Chaldea can't continue to hide behind Coulson and others.
Two days after the press conference.
Tony received General Ross from the military at the virtual reality company to discuss the military's order for "war weapons".
Ross had a very unpleasant encounter with Tony in the past, but at this level, no one is a petty person. The aliens in front of him are like a mountain pressing on him, and he urgently needs these weapons.
However, he did not come alone, and brought many other arms dealers.
Among them is Justin Hammer who appeared in the movie.
This person is basically a representative of profiteers and the largest arms dealer in the world besides Stark Industries.
"Tony, you are now in great glory."
Ross looked at Tony who seemed to be more showy than before, and couldn't help but sigh.
As a general, he knows more than ordinary people.
Tony's current status has completely surpassed the "big rich businessman" in the past. He is no longer the same as before with the golden thigh of Chaldea, and he even has the ability to make the whole world compromise.
Even Ross himself is just a general who can be easily dismissed by the World Security Council with a word.
"I've always been so glorious." Tony didn't care about Ross's envy. "Why do you come here to place orders and bring some of your minions with you? Do you expect them to drive down the price of the orders?"
"This is a requirement of Congress."
Ross said that he couldn't take the blame anymore. He showed Tony the document directly issued by Congress .
"Now is a special period. We need to obtain a large number of orders in a short period of time, and Stark Industries' production efficiency obviously can't keep up. These 'peers' of yours are here to share some tasks."
"Yes, that's it." Hammer interrupted and put his hand on Tony's shoulder like a familiar person. "Tony, when I knew you were going to reopen the weapons industry, do you know how happy I was? Competition can make people progress. Without Stark Industries, we at Hammer Industries have regressed a lot."
Somewhat unexpectedly, Tony did not shake off Hammer's arm.
This made Hammer feel a little flattered.
"You said it very well." Tony looked at General Ross, "Now the situation is indeed urgent. We agree to transfer part of the production tasks to other companies. Come with me, I have prepared everything."
Ross's eyes flickered slightly.
How could he not know that this time it was just a test by the World Security Council to test whether Chaldea planned to share the benefits.
Now it seems that Chaldea does not seem to be ready to hold everything in its hands.
"Tony, I am so touched." Hammer chattered there alone, obviously overjoyed, "If anyone says that we are immoral in selling arms in the future, I will be the first to disagree. Tony, you are a model of arms dealers... Don't worry, I will provide Stark Industries with the most favorable conditions for the victory of the war!"
Bang-
a thick stack of documents fell directly on Hammer's face.
"Sign it, all the cooperation content is in it." Tony's expression was flat.
"What? Contract?" Hammer was stunned.
He has been doing business for so many years, and he has never seen this. There was no negotiation. The other party directly took out a stack of contracts and asked him to sign.
"You can also choose not to sign." Tony looked at his watch, then stood up, "You have an hour. If you sign the contract, I will come over. If you don't plan to sign, then leave by yourself. I am very busy. General Ross, if you plan to see the specific performance of the weapons, I think you can ask our technicians to receive you."
"No problem." Ross nodded, looking at Hammer's aggrieved face, he showed a hint of irony.
Did he still think Tony was an arms dealer like them? These businessmen no longer had the qualifications to bargain with Tony.
Tony left the meeting room with a refreshed face.
Thinking of the future development prospects discussed with Shen He before, his heart was also a little hot.
If Stark Industries can really be developed to that point, his father will definitely be very happy if he knows about it.
While Tony was feeling the change in status, Shen He was still continuing the internal meeting of Chaldea.
To be more precise, it was his internal meeting with Lelouch.
Since the last meeting, Shen He discovered that most of the servants were not interested in what they were doing in the Marvel world. In the past, they were summoned every time, which only represented an attitude of "no concealment". However, as the number of servants increased, it was indeed unnecessary to summon everyone every time. After all, the
only one who was really interested and could help was Lelouch.
"Master, have you ever considered that if Chaldea's power in this world continues to develop like this, we will no longer be able to stay out of it." Lelouch said in a more tactful tone.
But Shen He understood what he meant in an instant.
So far, Chaldea has not really intervened in the management of the peripheral industries of the Marvel world.
The agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. were fully handed over to Coulson.
And the business of the virtual reality company was fully handed over to Tony.
The job of Shen He, the nominal general manager, is just to identify what needs to be completed by Chaldea and intervene in some arrangements that are known in advance.
"But the core strength of Chaldea lies in you." Shen He frowned slightly, "There should be no possibility of rebellion."
He has always trusted Coulson and Tony.
But this trust is also based on the guarantee of strength. Shen He has always believed that as long as he has servants around him, he will be fearless, so it doesn't matter if the peripheral industries and developments are handed over to them.
"Master really needs to understand the nature of power." Lelouch shook his head, even when facing Shen He, he showed a helpless smile without mercy, "In a company, the board of directors has absolute controlling rights, but most of the time, they must listen to the CEO. Why? Because the CEO's decision can bring benefits."
This is a very vivid metaphor.
Shen He listened carefully, thought carefully, and soon understood what Lelouch meant.
Indeed.
If Coulson, or Tony, now uses the power of peripheral industries to make a decision that is different from Chaldea's concept, but does not cause serious disagreements, then the result can only be that Chaldea will take a step back.
The reason is very simple. These peripheral industries now cannot do without them at all.
Shen He completed all the tasks and arrangements of the agents through Coulson. He didn't even know the lower-level managers.
Not to mention the virtual reality company, all employees except the agents were sent from Stark Industries.
Even the current product sales are under the sole responsibility of Tony. Without him, Shen He can't do anything.
"You are right." Shen He couldn't help but sigh, "I really ignored the power we developed in the Marvel world."
If it was just a small fight at the beginning, it wouldn't matter at all.
But if the Chaldea power in the Marvel world really developed into a behemoth, and then clashed with Tony and others one day in the future, it would be very troublesome.
"In Chaldea, you have an absolute command power." Lelouch saw that Shen He understood, and continued, "Although there are only three at most, this represents the authority of the master. Once there is a conflict of ideas that cannot be convinced, the master's ideas must be the main one. In this way, the conflict can be avoided from expanding to an unmanageable level."
This is a very simple truth.
Too much power dispersion can easily lead to division, while too much power concentration can suppress the power of the group.
"But there is nothing we can do now." Shen He spread his hands, "As you just said, the board of directors has absolute control, why should we listen to the CEO? We don't have the ability to handle those things." "
My affairs can be resolved in two months at most." Lelouch's eyes flickered slightly, and he stated his purpose, "I hope that the Master will allow me to participate in the power management of the Marvel world."
Lelouch now no longer puts all his thoughts on revenge.
He began to think about what will happen after revenge.
Nunnally is not a Servant and can only live in the world over there, but does he really want Nunnally to live the life of an "ordinary person"?
And Shirley...
Chaldea has an infinite world, infinite possibilities, and even he himself may have infinite life. He
must occupy a sufficient position in the increasingly powerful Chaldea. Lelouch sees it clearly. As a man, he has no other way to "compete for favor" and avoid being "forgotten" except to show his own value.
And his greatest value is not the "king's order" at all, but his brain.
