"Sell Stark Industries' stock? Are you serious?" the White Queen was taken aback.
Because anyone with eyes could see that the military's orders for Stark Industries were clearly good news. Its stock would only become more valuable in the future.
"Of course!" Chen Chen said resolutely. If things were to go according to normal circumstances, the White Queen's thoughts were indeed correct.
It was a pity that Chen Chen knew the plot. In a week, Tony Stark would be attacked and kidnapped by local terrorists while conducting a weapons experiment in Afghanistan.
Once this news spread. The value of Stark Industries' stock would plummet, nearly halved.
If he seized this information asymmetry that ordinary people didn't know, selling the stock first and then buying it back, he could not only buy back all the sold stock, but also easily profit billions of dollars.
And not only that, in the following weeks, after Tony successfully escaped from the terrorists' kidnapping, Stark Industries' stock would rise again, and Tony's announcement at the subsequent hearing that Stark Industries would no longer engage in arms deals would cause the company's stock to plummet again.
Until finally, Tony admitted in front of the public that he was Iron Man, which would make Stark Industries' stock reach a new high.
Such a fluctuating stock market, resembling an EKG, allows those who seize the opportunity to repeatedly profit by cutting the leeks and extracting a large sum of money.
Unfortunately, Chen Chen was one of those who could seize the opportunity. Although he had no money, he had the White Queen!
The White Queen possessed assets worth billions, and also controlled 5% of Stark Industries' shares. As long as Chen Chen offered some guidance, he could gain tens of billions of dollars from the turmoil within Stark Industries.
Since the system required him to establish a force, merely having money was far from enough. He also needed the support of various foundations. With the birth of Iron Man, Chen Chen planned to get involved as well. At the very least, he should be able to collect the first generation of Iron Man suits as a foundation for his own forces.
After overseeing the White Queen's completion of the stock selling operation, Chen Chen began to prepare to set off for Afghanistan to make some preparations.
Of course, he wasn't going to rush over to rescue Tony Stark. He didn't believe that, according to Tony's personality, he would be grateful to him, his savior.
Look at Yinsen, the doctor who was captured by the terrorists and held with Tony. Yinsen saved Tony's life twice. The first time was when Tony was attacked, and Yinsen performed surgery to save his life.
The second time was when they were preparing to escape, Yinsen blocked a bullet for Tony.
Two acts of saving his life were a pretty big deal, right? But what did Iron Man do for Yinsen after he escaped? It seemed like he forgot all about him in the blink of an eye.
Perhaps it's not fair to say Iron Man was ungrateful, but Chen Chen didn't believe he'd repay a small kindness with a fountain of gratitude.
So, Chen Chen planned to use his own methods to get what he wanted.
Afghanistan at this time was one of the poorest countries in the world. The area was constantly at war, with various local armed groups and terrorist organizations emerging one after another.
And at this time, the United States was carrying out military strikes against Afghanistan; the two sides could be called mortal enemies.
And this place was also about to become a good place for Stark Industries and the U.S. military to showcase their new weapons. Hmm.
Only in a land of war was there a greater need for advanced weapons. Of course, this was also where Iron Man was born.
Chen Chen got off the plane in Kabul City, the largest city in Afghanistan.
Upon arriving in Afghanistan, the first problem to solve was the language barrier. There were many languages spoken here, making communication difficult for foreigners and locals.
Therefore, Chen Chen now needed a guide to solve the language communication issue. However, he was too lazy to look for a professional guide, so he simply took a stack of US dollars from his storage space, put it in his pocket, and let half of it show, then swaggered down the street.
As a foreigner obviously carrying a lot of money, Chen Chen was quickly targeted.
Several burly men in white clothing quickly approached Chen Chen, pointing their guns at him and saying in English, "You! Come with me, or else, die!"
Chen Chen obediently raised his hands and followed these men into a civilian house.
Inside the room, a muscular middle-aged man was puffing away on a cigarette. Beside him were two scantily clad women.
"Boss, I brought back a fat sheep, he's a foreigner," the underling who had escorted Chen Chen said to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man didn't even glance at Chen Chen. He casually said, "Oh? Then hurry up and search him, and make him hand over all his money."
Just as several armed militants were about to make a move, Chen Chen ignored their threats. He strode forward, picked up the two women, and tossed them outside the door.
This scene made all the armed militants present look at each other, their eyes on Chen Chen as if they were looking at a mental patient.
Chen Chen said in a low voice, "I need a group of subordinates. Which of you wants to be my lackey?"
Chen Chen's arrogant attitude made everyone present very angry. The leading middle-aged man cursed in a language no one understood, then pulled out an AK-47 from under his butt and aimed it at Chen Chen.
Chen Chen's eyes turned cold. "You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. You're forcing me to kill."
As he spoke, he continuously flicked his fingers.
Hole-Hole Beam! Beams of orange light shot out from his fingertips, crisscrossing the room.
In the blink of an eye, the Hole-Hole Beam had blown the heads off all the armed militants except for the middle-aged man and the one who spoke English.
The room was instantly littered with corpses.
The middle-aged man had never seen anyone so ruthless. Without a word, he'd started a massacre, and the methods used were unheard of, like a demon.
At this moment, he was trembling all over, and the sweat on his forehead was about to form a small stream.
Amidst the scattered corpses, Chen Chen said calmly, "Now, can I speak?"
The middle-aged man, his face pale, immediately said in English, "Sir, what do you want to ask? I will tell you everything I know."
Chen Chen raised an eyebrow, a look of curiosity on his face. "So, you can speak English?"
"A little bit," the middle-aged man said with a smile. "It was all my fault, please forgive me, sir."
Having displayed his brutal methods, the subsequent questioning went much smoother.
To ensure his plan ran smoothly, Chen Chen needed to recruit a group of armed militants in Afghanistan to use.
He needed to obtain the locations of the larger local armed forces from the middle-aged man in front of him.
The local thugs and the local armed forces were naturally deeply entangled.
Chen Chen successfully obtained the information he wanted: the approximate locations of several local armed forces.
