The following days seemed to return to peace.
Of course, this was excluding the Police coming over a few times occasionally.
The purpose of these Police officers was naturally to investigate the deaths of Campbell, Charles, and the others.
However, Nolan handled it with increasing ease.
In his free time, besides training for a strong physique, he absorbed new knowledge.
There were many good things in the system store.
SAR-01 Combat Robot, produced from "Kill Command", technology value 130 million technology points.
SAR-02 Combat Robot, produced from "Kill Command", technology value 170 million technology points.
AMP Model MK-6 Expanded Mobility Platform, produced from "Avatar", technology value 350 million technology points.
APU Mass-Produced Exoskeleton Combat Equipment, produced from the matrix, technology value 420 million technology points.
Mechanical Octopus, produced from the matrix, technology value 420 million technology points.
Predator Armor, produced from "Predator", technology value 570 million technology points.
...
Terminator T-800, produced from "Terminator", technology value 1.5 billion technology points.
Red Queen, produced from "Resident Evil", technology value 1.7 billion technology points.
Crimson Typhoon, produced from "Pacific Rim", technology value 2 billion technology points.
Vanguard-class Titan, produced from "Titanfall", technology value 5.7 billion technology points.
...
mechanical godzilla, produced from "Godzilla vs. Kong", value 13.7 billion technology points.
...
Besides these,
Further down, there were products that required hundreds or even thousands of billions of technology points.
However, those were basically meaningless to him.
You know, most advanced mechs require very complex technology and materials.
Take the mechanical godzilla, for example.
It seems like you only need 13.7 billion to get the related technology.
But that's not how it's calculated.
To build a mechanical godzilla, you don't just need the technology.
You also need the relevant materials.
And the materials available in each World are not exactly the same.
For a mechanical monster like the mechanical godzilla, it's impossible to build it with the materials currently available in the Marvel World.
In other words, to build it, you can only directly purchase the relevant materials from the system store.
This was simply an astronomical figure for him.
As for those even more advanced technologies.
He suspected that even selling the Earth wouldn't be enough.
The time of peace was short-lived.
While he was enjoying the rare time of peace.
Mores had been actively working.
He wanted to get Nolan out as soon as possible.
As the financial steward of the Irish Gang, he knew very well that procrastination leads to complications.
And Nolan consistently responded with an ambiguous attitude.
He didn't agree, but he no longer refused.
This made Mores's patience worse and worse.
Finally, half a month passed.
Simon Phillip secretly came to see him late at night.
"Boss, everything is ready."
Hearing this, Nolan had a smile on his face.
"Those guys from Mores have been annoying me enough lately.
Simon, well done. I believe you will have a brighter future in our new company."
Simon smiled.
"I hope so."
There was also hope in his eyes.
Who doesn't want to move forward?
"How much capital do we have available now?" Nolan asked.
Simon smiled bitterly:
"I have arranged for people to secretly purchase various urgently needed equipment, which cost about 340 million US dollars, and even these are products that are about to be phased out.
In addition, we need a large number of company employees and researchers, after all, we are in the technology business.
So, Boss, our problem now is not how much capital is still available, but how much capital is needed to get the company into normal operation."
Hearing this.
Nolan frowned.
Although he was the chairman, he really didn't know much about these matters.
During this time, besides necessary signatures, everything was arranged by Simon.
After all, he was just a tech geek before. Let him manage the company?
Sorry, he couldn't compare with Tony Stark in this regard yet.
Nodding in understanding, Nolan smiled:
"Don't worry, I will sell the company for a good price."
As Nolan expected, not two days later.
Mores and the others urged him to hold a meeting again.
As for the topic, it was naturally still about persuading him to be sensible.
"Nolan, I'll say it one last time.
Locke Company is no longer something you can hold onto, even if you could, the company can't.
We have thousands of employees under us.
Now the scandals about you are flying everywhere, which will push Locke Company to a dead end.
If you still don't agree, for the sake of the company, we will have to resort to some unpleasant means!"
As soon as Mores finished speaking, Nolan stared at him coldly.
"Mores, I've heard that so many times it's become a callus.
Indeed, I know many people here have some troublesome backgrounds, and I don't want to burn bridges.
But you can't expect me to easily give up my interests.
Men die for wealth, birds die for food.
As long as you don't force me, everything is negotiable."
Mores was slightly stunned.
Nolan Locke's words sounded sharp, but he noticed another fact within them.
This small chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the wonderful content behind!
He had softened his stance!
The corner of Mores's mouth had curved upwards without him realizing.
"How much do you want?"
Nolan said calmly:
"1 billion US dollars. Once the money is in hand, I can leave tomorrow."
The corner of Mores's mouth twitched.
"Are you sure you're not joking?"
1 billion US dollars might be insignificant for a company of Stark Industries' level.
But for their company, which had just been pulled back from the brink of bankruptcy.
Even if they sold the company, they might not be able to sell it for this price.
If he did this, what was the point of going to such lengths to drive Nolan Locke away?
This was clearly an exorbitant demand.
Nolan pouted.
"You don't have it? I thought the Irish Gang was very rich. Now it seems they are far from it.
In that case, how about 500 million.
Locke Company is worth that much."
Mores smiled without smiling.
"200 million. Your shares are only worth that much."
Nolan looked at him deeply.
From Mores's eyes, he could tell that this was probably the highest price Mores could accept.
"Okay, I hope your funds can be received as soon as possible."
"Of course."
Mores, who had reacted, felt a little heartache.
Damn Nolan Locke, he was actually skilled in the art of negotiation.
The price he started with, plus his urgent mood, actually gave away his bottom line.
200 million, even the Irish Gang couldn't come up with that much at once.
But thankfully.
He glanced at the surrounding directors.
The directors also all had unsightly expressions.
For the impending profits, they all had a share of this money.
What an idiot.
Someone wanted to curse Mores, but only dared to roar in their hearts.
The deterrent power of the Irish Gang was enough to make them back down.
Leaving the conference room, a genuine smile appeared on Nolan's face.
Next, everything could get on track.
He hoped Mores wouldn't go crazy when he discovered that Locke Company had almost been emptied by Simon.
