Chapter 014: Tony, I'm Here to Make a Deal With You.
Stark returned and held a press conference.
A large number of media reporters sat below, and Stark, while eating a hamburger, announced a major decision.
"I've decided that, starting today, I will shut down Stark Industries' weapons division!"
The media reporters were excited, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Obadiah's eyes.
However, at this moment, Obadiah couldn't show his true colors and could only continue to curry favor with Tony.
"What we should be more concerned about is that Tony has returned!"
...Tony Stark's decision to close the weapons division immediately caused a huge stir online.
[Shocking! Stark actually announced the closure of the weapons division in public after his return!]
[Stark Industries is actually going to close its weapons division?]
[What can Stark Industries do without a weapons division?]
[Stark returns after a 3-month disappearance, suspected of mental instability!]
...In the stock market, Stark's stock plummeted wildly.
Su Yi looked at the stock market and didn't pay much attention.
Stark Industries is worth tens of billions, and Su Yi's 1.1 million wouldn't buy him much stock.
Instead of buying stock like that, it would be better to directly ask Stark for shares.
Su Yi waited quietly, waiting for Stark to contact him, and then to discuss the deal.
After Stark returned to his Villa, he had already put Su Yi out of his mind.
He plunged into the laboratory and began to create a brand new Arc Reactor.
With his previous experience and complete materials, Stark completed the new Arc Reactor in half a day.
"Pepper!"
Calling Pepper to help him replace the new reactor, Stark felt extremely comfortable.
"Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, you should pay attention to rest. It's getting late now, you should rest."
Stark only then noticed that it was already so late.
While Pepper went up to get him a drink, Stark decided to contact Su Yi.
"Oh, I actually forgot about this."
"Jarvis, search for Su Yi's personal information."
"Searching for information..."
Soon, Jarvis found several people named Su Yi, and after checking them one by one, immediately confirmed Su Yi's identity.
"It's him."
"Is there so little information?"
"Because both his parents passed away, he came here to live with his Grandpa. Then his Grandpa also passed away due to illness, so he inherited the family property."
"He is currently attending Midtown High School!"
Stark looked at the information in front of him and fell into contemplation.
"Just looking at the information, he seems like a completely ordinary person, or rather, an ordinary person who has lost all his relatives."
Stark recalled Su Yi's miraculous ability and the so-called Symbiote Battle Suit, which didn't seem like something an ordinary person could obtain.
Stark remembered Su Yi's words, "He said he knew a secret I was interested in, even one I didn't know about myself. What am I interested in?"
"Forget it, I'll just contact him directly."
Stark chose to contact Su Yi, and after waiting for a while, Su Yi finally answered the phone.
"Hi, Su, I'm Tony Stark!"
Su Yi was a little speechless and couldn't help but complain, "Couldn't you have called earlier? I have school tomorrow."
Stark then remembered that Su Yi was still a student and had classes.
"OK, do you still have time now? Or should we talk another day?"
"There's still time. Show me your current surroundings, and I'll teleport over."
Stark was a little surprised. Was it really that complicated? He had directly teleported over in the cave.
Anyway, this was a characteristic, and Stark silently noted it down, it might come in handy in the future.
After scanning the surrounding environment with his phone, Su Yi had already confirmed that he could teleport.
"OK, I'll be there soon."
In an instant, Su Yi appeared out of thin air in Stark's Villa's underground workshop.
"Tony, I'm here to make a deal with you!"
Even though he had experienced it once, Stark was still startled when he saw Su Yi suddenly appear this time.
"Oh, God, your ability is really terrifying."
"Compared to your ability, my Villa has no defense at all."
It was normal for Stark to have such concerns, after all, this ability was indeed a bit powerful.
"Don't worry, I have no intention of going to other people's homes like this. Under normal circumstances, I would drive. If I really need to rush, I will also try my best to get the homeowner's consent."
As the two chatted, Pepper, dressed in work attire, brought coffee to the workshop.
She was incredibly surprised to see Su Yi suddenly appear.
She clearly remembered that she had just left to make a cup of coffee, and in just a few minutes, someone had suddenly appeared.
"Oh, Tony, who is he? How did he get here?"
Stark hesitated for a moment and found a random excuse, "He's just a friend of mine."
Pepper had been with Stark for several years and knew what kind of person he was.
Stark had many beautiful women around him, but male friends were few and far between.
Obadiah was his uncle, Happy was his driver, and Rhodes was his only friend.
If Stark had such a handsome Oriental friend like Su Yi, she would definitely remember him.
"Friend? Tony, you have how many friends? How could I not know?"
Su Yi looked at Pepper, who was also a beautiful woman.
Unfortunately, Stark had been busy dating other beautiful women before, neglecting the 'grass by his nest'.
Su Yi greeted Pepper with a smile, "Hello, Pepper. You're right, I'm not this guy's friend right now, we can only be considered a cooperative relationship."
"I helped him out of danger, and now I'm here to ask him for money."
Pepper instantly understood, "You saved Tony?"
"I can only say that I indeed put in a lot of effort."
"Thank you."
Stark was ignored and a little unhappy, "I know you saved me, so what do you want?"
Su Yi replied with a smile, "It's simple, I want money."
"How much?"
"Not how much money, but I want Stark Industries stock, about 20%, at least enough for me to be the second largest shareholder, right?"
Stark looked at Su Yi in disbelief, "20% of the shares, do you know how much money that is?"
"I'm not sure, but it's definitely a lot. I also know it's expensive, so I'll include three secrets you'd be very interested in."
Stark shook his head, "Secrets I'd be interested in? Like how to defend against your ability?"
Su Yi took the coffee Pepper had prepared for Stark, "Of course not."
"The first secret, I will tell you who orchestrated this attack."
"The second secret, your Arc Reactor currently uses palladium, which will cause palladium poisoning. I know how to solve it."
"The third secret, regarding your parents' Death, I know who the killer is!"
Stark remained calm for the first two secrets.
However, when Su Yi mentioned the third secret, Stark's body trembled, and he almost fell.
This secret shocked Stark beyond measure.
The unexpected passing of his parents had plunged Stark into self-blame and loneliness.
Now, learning that his parents' Death was not an accident but a murder, how could Stark remain calm?
"What did you say? My parents were murdered. Who did it?"
"Tell me, you want 20% of the shares, no problem, I'll give them all to you."
Su Yi comforted him, "Don't get excited, I can give you all the answers you want. However, you'd best calm down first."
"How can you tell me to calm down? Tell me, I need to know the answer, no matter the cost!"
