Most creatures have the instinct to protect their cubs.

For example, giant pandas, who usually make a living by being cute, will become very irritable after entering the lactation period, showing their ferocious side from time to time.

Another example is an old hen that will only run away when things happen. If there is a chick by her side and the chick is threatened again, it will flap its wings and attack the intruder actively by pecking and scratching.

Even fish with a lower level of biological evolution have similar instincts.

"You're right, I have to do something..." Stark's fatherly protective instincts were stimulated at the thought of his newborn child.

How can we eliminate the threat posed by the other party? In desperation, Stark's first thought was to get rid of Aldrich Killian directly from the physical level.

However, this idea only lasted in his mind for a moment, and then he dismissed it.

The reason is simple. In the notes written by Aldridge Killian, although the hatred for Stark is clearly shown, in the final analysis, there is no content about the revenge plan in the notes—how to formulate The revenge plan, how much strength one has in hand, will play a decisive role. The experiment has just entered the right track, and the development progress of the original version of the Extremis Potion is barely halfway through. Now that there is not even a "thug" who has injected the potion, Aldrich Killian still dare not think so far, and it is impossible to Now start making specific plans.

When Aldridge Killian has enough confidence and confidence in his mind when he has enough subordinates, he will start to make plans and devise various routines. But so far, for the time being, he only thought of the step of 'developing the potion as soon as possible, and first getting himself a hole card'.

'While Jarvis's analysis is worrying, at the end of the day, he hasn't done anything yet. '

'Incriminating things that haven't happened yet... No, Tony, you can't do that. Don't forget, you're Iron Man, not a gangster. '

After pondering for a while, Stark raised his head: "Jarvis, where does that guy work now? Check it out for me and see how much it costs to buy that company."

"Yes, sir." He agreed, and hovered on the display panel in front of Stark, arranging several documents: "Seven years ago, Aldridge Killian resigned and left the State Institute of Biology in the state of xxx, He established a personal laboratory named xx. Five years ago, Pioneer Technology sent him an invitation to merge..."

"...to acquire Pioneer Technology, at least 23 billion US dollars need to be mobilized. Considering that Pioneer Technology has cooperated with the military, cia, and bi, the acquisition process may encounter obstacles from these forces, and the price may have to go up. Fifty percent, or about 35 billion."

"35 billion? The scale should be quite large, why haven't I heard of Pioneer Technology?"

"Its business scope is mainly concentrated in the fields of biology, chemistry, and medical treatment. It has no direct competition with the Stark Group, and it has almost never cooperated." After a pause, Jarvis continued to add: "The fact In fact, in the field of biochemical medicine, Pioneer Technology ranks only two places lower than Osborne Group, and it is a large group that ranks among the top ten in the same industry."

"I see." Stark nodded and accepted the explanation: "So, it is in direct competition with Norman's company?"

"Yes. According to the information I have collected, Mr. Osborne has always had a headache for this Pioneer Technology. Not long ago, he also called a group of shareholders to discuss the acquisition of Pioneer Group."

"Oh?" Upon hearing the news, Stark couldn't help but become interested: "Have they reached a conclusion in their discussion? What are they going to do?"

"About this question, I suggest you call Mr. Osborne directly. After all, you are already very good friends, and this matter itself does not belong to the type that requires strict confidentiality. I think, with your friendship, He should not be stingy about sharing information."

"You're right." Hearing the hidden meaning in Jarvis's words, Stark nodded with a smile: "We're friends anyway, and it's really inappropriate to hack in without saying hello. Jarvis, Get me through Norman's number."

"Okay, trying to connect to the signal."

When the call was made, Norman Osborn was in a meeting and the phone was not with him.

Because of the need to report and transfer through the secretary, there was a slight delay in the middle. After waiting for about 30 seconds, Stark heard Norman Osborn's voice.

"Hi, Norman. I'm sorry to interrupt your meeting. I have something here and I want to discuss it with you."

"Hehe, you don't have to be so polite. It's just a routine meeting once a month. It's okay to delay for a while. Tell me, what's the matter?"

"About Pioneer Technology. I heard you're going to buy that company?"

Hearing Stark's question~lightnovelpub.net~ Norman Osborn was stunned for a moment, and then smiled in relief: "Your news is really well-informed. Yes, I have With such an idea, the company has held several meetings to discuss this matter. Why, you also have an idea, do you plan to acquire this company?"

"I did have that idea a quarter of an hour ago, but now..." Stark smiled: "Since you thought of it first, of course I can't get in and compete head-on with you."

"You mean..." Norman Osborn also laughed: "Let me guess, you want to cooperate with me, combine the power of Stark Group and Osborn Group, and split and acquire Pioneer Technology? "

"Yes, what do you think of this plan?"

"Personally, I welcome you to join." Although there was no change in expression, Norman Osborn's excitement could be clearly felt from his tone: "Only by Osborn This family is still a bit difficult. After all, the size of Pioneer Technology is not small, and it has cooperative relations with several official departments. Hehe, with the addition of the Stark Group, with the funds of our two companies, there is still With the weight on the official side, I think things will become much simpler."

"Then... let's meet and talk about this in detail?" Stark had a big smile on his face.

"No problem." Norman Osborn agreed without hesitation, and then gave a time proposal: "How about tomorrow? It happens to be the weekend tomorrow, and Harry doesn't have to go to school... Hehe, he just told me yesterday I complained that the lunch at school was too bad, so let me give Locke a suggestion to provide lunch at school. Now that it’s time, why not take him there tomorrow and let him talk to Locke himself.”

"Okay, that's tomorrow. Let the kids play with theirs, and we'll talk about ours."
