He asked Sunday to call Obadiah back. The phone only rang three times before Obadiah's laughter came from the earpiece.
"Good morning, William. I heard you got your shares back from Tony. Congratulations." Obadiah laughed, then said, "Since you've got your voting rights back, you're obligated to attend the board meeting in three days."
"Sorry." William, who was busy building the Vibranium Mark 50, smiled and said, "The experiment I'm doing has reached a critical stage. If it's not necessary, I won't go."
"Experiment?" Obadiah was shocked. Did this mean that the results would be out soon?
Furthermore, a research project that William couldn't bear to leave had to be something incredible.
Obadiah had only wanted to arrange the board meeting and the banquet for the various connections in New York, but when he heard William say that he wouldn't come if it wasn't necessary, he immediately thought that he had to come up with something to attract William's attention.
Also, he and Tony Stark had decided to ask William to attend the board meeting. It was to let the outside world know that William and Stark Industries weren't on bad terms.
After William and Stark re-signed the contract and got their shares back, some people started rumors that the seven-year honeymoon period between William and Stark Industries was over.
There were also many people who believed that William might sell his shares in Stark Industries.
After thinking for only three seconds, Obadiah pretended to say in a low voice, "This time, in order to open up connections in the United States and facilitate the sale of Jericho's eggs, Las Vegas has already reached the top floor of Las Vegas.
I've booked all the suites on the top floor of Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, and I've got a couple of dozen Hollywood girls, William. April is the perfect month for vacations.
If I were you, I wouldn't miss this opportunity. "
Although he knew that Obadiah was tempting him and knew what Hollywood girls were like, William still wanted to take a look.
"Okay, three days from now, right? I'll be there."
"Great, William. I won't disturb your experiment anymore. I'll call you at 10 am London time the day after tomorrow, in case you don't come out of the lab."
"Hehe, don't worry. You'll remind me on Sunday. See you in three days."
After hanging up, William turned on the virtual screen with a smile and looked at the young Hollywood stars in this world. It was not until Sunday reminded him that he still wanted to go to the Dwarf Kingdom that he turned off the virtual screen reluctantly.
William went to the Dwarf Kingdom and spent a thousand self-healing talismans to get the formula for the alloy. After staying at home for two days, he finally made the alloy vibrating gold version of the Nanomark 50.
Because he had sufficient vibranium, he made a set for everyone in his family. As for the gold titanium alloy Mark 50, he kept it on the spaceship as a backup.
After the armor was built, William asked Sunday to build him a 100-meter-long Vibranium shell spaceship on Planet X17.
However, when he saw that the plan made on Sunday had to use 50 tons of vibranium in one go, he was a little reluctant.
Fortunately, when he thought that this spaceship would not be afraid of the energy weapons commonly used in warship battles in the future, he gritted his teeth and gave Sunday an order.
On this day, he was bored and was using nanotechnology to build a gold titanium alloy nano revolver. Sunday informed him that Obadiah had called to remind him as expected.
There is an eight-hour time difference between London and Las Vegas. A normal flight would take about ten hours, so Obadiah reminded him a day in advance and he was not in a hurry.
But William would not take an ordinary plane. Even if the Kun spaceship could not leave the atmosphere, it would take at most an hour to fly there. If he took a 35-meter-long spaceship, it would only take ten minutes.
After repeatedly assuring the worried Obadiah that he would be on time, William continued to play with his nano wheel. After a while, he suddenly said to Sunday, "Have you built the Porsche 918 and Ferrari Raphael I drew the other day?"
Hearing that Sunday was almost done with the testing, William simply put the red Raphael into his inventory.
At three in the afternoon in London the next day, a 35-meter-long spaceship landed in the manor under the envious and curious gazes of the residents around Garden Street and the passersby.
Dressed in a formal suit, William waved at the paparazzi outside the manor and got on the spaceship.
As soon as the spaceship took off, it flew straight into space. After flying west for two minutes at an altitude of 100 kilometers, it arrived above Las Vegas and began to land.
It had only been a few minutes since the paparazzi in London posted the news, and the media in the United States were about to report it, when they heard someone shout, "Look at the news about gambling."
After a dozen channels, they saw that the media, which were reporting on the Stark Industries board meeting, were all pointing their cameras at the spaceship hovering outside Caesars Palace.
"God, didn't our colleagues in London say that William Devonshire just boarded the spaceship?"
The reporter covered his forehead in disbelief. "We haven't even had time to report it, and Devonshire, that b * stard, has already arrived in Las Vegas?"
As soon as the spaceship came to a stop, William took out the Ferrari Raphael with the Aston Martin logo from his inventory.
He opened the door and got in, and the spaceship's elevator automatically lowered the red supercar.
Just as everyone was still amazed that William had crossed more than 10,000 kilometers from London to western America in five or six minutes, the appearance of this red Raphael, which had never appeared before, drew everyone's attention.
After all, spaceships and the like were too far away for them. Supercars, on the other hand, were different. No matter how expensive they were, they were only a few million dollars; someone would buy them.
As soon as the elevator touched the ground, the roar of the engine instantly drowned out all the noise.
The car left the elevator, and the spaceship automatically retracted the elevator. Under Sunday's control, the spaceship rose into the sky and hovered in space.
Spaceships and new supercars appeared one after another, which excited the media. They wouldn't have to worry about not having news to write about in the next half a month.
Some smart media outlets immediately understood why Obadiah Stane, the executive director of Stark Industries, had insisted on holding this year's board meeting in Las Vegas.
In order to invite William, who had never participated in board meetings, he was really willing to do anything.
But everyone had to give Obadiah a thumbs up. When the stock market opened tomorrow, Stark Industries, which was already quite popular, would definitely become even more popular because William had started to participate in the company's affairs.
When the unlicensed supercar arrived in front of Caesars Palace, the dozen or so American police officers who were maintaining order pretended not to see it. None of them said anything about William's car not being allowed on the road.
As for Obadiah Stane, who had more shares than William, when William's car came to a stop, he stepped forward with a smile and personally opened the door for William.
When William got out of the car, Obadiah immediately stood beside him and put his hand on William's back. He smiled in the direction of the reporters and asked them to take photos.
After smiling and cooperating for nearly a minute, William's shoulders trembled slightly. "Is that necessary?"
"Of course, William." Obadiah accompanied William to the hotel and made a few gestures to the bodyguards around him.
Seeing that the bodyguards were blocking the camera outside, he chuckled and said in a low voice, "Before the news of the end of the war gets out, the higher the stock price, the better it is, the more it will fall.
Not only will the price of the buyback be lower, it will also be easier to buy back. "
"Okay, then I wish you all the best."
"Wait." Obadiah, who had been all smiles just now, froze when he heard William's words.
He was about to get angry, but when he met William's gaze, he wilted.
The person in front of him wasn't Tony, but a Tyrannosaurus who ate people without spitting out their bones and was stronger than him.
"William, can I ask why you don't plan to buy back with us?" Obadiah nervously touched his bald head. "If you don't participate in the buyback, I don't dare to follow Tony."
"Okay, I'll buy with you on a year-to-year basis." As soon as William finished speaking, before Obadiah could finish laughing, he heard William continue, "I still have some misgivings about the arms business. I'll stop after buying 3% of the shares and holding 10% of the shares.
Also, don't expect me to stand up for that Jericho guy. After all, I'm English. That war has nothing to do with me. "
Obadiah laughed and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as you appear on the buyback list."
For him, what he wanted was William's reputation. As long as William was involved, he would rather William only buy 1%. Now, 3% of the shares was too much.
However, only an idiot would say this. He smiled and pointed the way. "Let's go, everyone is in the conference room, waiting for you."
Taking the elevator, they went all the way to the conference area on the sixteenth floor. As soon as they entered the conference area, they saw a dozen middle-aged and old men in suits standing up and applauding William.
Along the way, William shook hands with the directors who kept introducing him and said hello. He was directly taken to the main seat, the first seat on Stark's left.
Tony, who saw William's flashy appearance on TV, shook hands with William with a smile on his face, but said, "Can't you come earlier?"
William knew very well what kind of personality Stark had at this time. There was nothing more suitable than a woman to attack him.
William laughed and said, "Sorry, this meeting is the first board meeting I've attended in five years.
Since I handed over all the company's affairs to my girlfriend, Abigail, I haven't been bothered by trivial matters for a long time. "
Stark instantly heard that William was showing off, but when he thought of Abigail, Stark had to admit that Abigail was indeed a woman with beauty, wisdom, and IQ.
Although he himself felt that Little Pepper's potential was no worse than Abigail's, when it came to appearance, even if Stark wanted to go against his heart, he would be embarrassed to say that Little Pepper was prettier than Abigail.
"Then don't we have to thank you for giving us your first time in five years?"
"God, Tony, can't you be serious?" Obadiah, who was on the side, put his arm around Stark's shoulder and smiled at William. "Don't mind him, everyone knows that Tony has a poisonous tongue, but he's a kind person in essence. When you get familiar with him, you'll understand that he's actually very easy to deal with."
Easy to deal with is because you have ulterior motives and often indulge him, but William didn't intend to pay attention to Stark, who hadn't experienced the test of life and death and whose mind was full of himself.
"This is my seat?"
William directly pulled out the first chair and sat down. He smiled at Stark and said, "Well, man, be mature, let's get to the point."
After saying that, he ignored Stark's darkened face and reached out to shake hands with an old man sitting on his left hand. Then, he waved to those who were looking at him.
Stark snorted angrily and sat on the main seat in a bad mood.
From the moment he heard that Obadiah invited William, he already knew that his limelight would definitely be stolen.
He and William were born in 70 and 81 respectively. He was eleven years older than William. Besides being better than William in terms of birth and education, he didn't seem to be better than William in any way.
With anger in his heart, he couldn't help but think that the stock market was likely to soar tomorrow. Stark comforted himself that with 28% of his shares, he could earn three times more than William. His heart instantly felt comfortable.
With a smile on his face, he knocked on the table. "Alright, since everyone is here, the meeting will officially begin."
He turned around and nodded at Pepper, who was sitting a little far away. Pepper immediately stood up with a large briefcase and took out eleven documents to distribute to everyone.
William looked at the twenty or so pages in his hands. They were non-core data related to Jerick's Guide Egg. William only looked at each page for three seconds before he started flipping through the pages.
By the time he finished reading the twenty pages, the others had only finished two or three pages.
This made the board members, who had been paying attention to him from time to time, put down their thoughts of reading the information and looked at him curiously.
The board member on William's left turned his head and asked in a low voice, "Are you really done reading?"
"Well, sorry."
Just when everyone thought that he was just flipping through it casually, William continued, "Sorry to disturb you. My way of remembering is a little special. I've always been able to read very quickly, and I can remember as long as I read it."
"God," everyone exclaimed.
For a moment, everyone exclaimed in surprise. Photographic memory was probably a skill that everyone wished to have. "The time we spend looking at the information is dozens of times more than you. No wonder you're not even thirty yet, but you've already achieved so much."
Stark looked at William unhappily. Before he could say anything, William suddenly felt that he knew what Stark was going to say.
Before Stark could say anything, he said to Pepper, "Ms. Potts, please tell everyone directly."
"Can, can I?"
At that moment, Pepper was only Stark's assistant, so she had no right to speak at the board meeting. If it wasn't for Stark's insistence, she might not even be able to stay in this conference room.
The other board members, who had been dealt a blow by William, were not in the mood to read the document word by word. It was easier for them to read while someone explained.
Seeing that no one objected, although Stark was in favor of letting Pepper shine, this was William's suggestion, so he could only nod unhappily with a straight face.
To be honest, William knew very well that he was just a cheat. His mental strength had grown to a very high level over the years, and his knowledge had also reached a very high level after creating all kinds of technological items.
But when it came to the use of knowledge, he couldn't compare with Tony Stark.
Fortunately, William didn't care about that. The truth was that no matter how good Stark was, he could always suppress him, or even crush him.
