After confirming that he would receive Old Smith's money, William left the follow-up matters to his private lawyer, Anthony. He waited for a day in Las Vegas until Anthony's team finished dealing with the Stark Industries shares in New York and rushed to Las Vegas.
After explaining what he needed to pay attention to, William flew directly to New York on a private plane. He needed to deal with the Billena Island matter. Since the church had already taken the money to join, William had to keep his word and help the church deal with the Billena Island matter.
In addition, he had always held a grudge against Jett Frobby of Albinia, and wanting to get rid of that fake general had almost become his obsession.
Every time he thought about how Jett Frobby had thousands of mercenaries under him, William felt uneasy. He was afraid that Jett Frobby would remember that William had killed dozens of his men and come to William for revenge. What William was more worried about was that Jett Frobby would go to Oxford to look for his mother.
So this time, William was determined to get rid of Jett Frobby.
But it wasn't so easy to get rid of a big boss who had hundreds of guards at any time.
But before dealing with Jett Frobby, William didn't forget to go to Stark to collect the money. When he got off the plane, he saw Stark's fat bodyguard, Happy, standing in front of several Mercedes-Benzes waiting for him.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Devonshire. I've been ordered by Mr. Stark to pick you up for a tour of the Stark Industrial Zone. Mr. Stark is already waiting for you there."
He shook hands with Happy and said jokingly, "Thank you. Is my money ready for Stark?"
Happy shook his head helplessly at William's joke. "I think it should be ready. You can transfer at any time."
"Very well, let's go then."
"Okay." Happy opened the door for William, sat in the passenger seat, and told the motorcade to set off through the walkie-talkie.
After driving for half an hour, the motorcade arrived at the Stark Industrial Zone in the northern suburbs of New York. After passing through three security checks, the motorcade drove to a high-tech laboratory building.
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Stark and the bald bearded Obadiah Stane waiting for him.
After William got out of the car, Obadiah Stane stepped forward with a smile and shook hands with William. He said cordially, "Welcome to Stark Industrial Park, Mr. Devonshire. I'm Obadiah Stane, a board member of Stark Industries."
Looking at the Iron Monger seven or eight years later, William smiled meaningfully and shook hands with Obadiah Stane. "Thank you, Mr. Stane. I'm William Devonshire. Nice to meet you."
After that, William looked at Stark, who was standing still. "Hey, Tony, why don't you say hello to your old friend? How's your harvest these past two days? "
"What harvest?" Obadiah looked at William and Stark with some doubts. "Are you two planning something? God, what are you going to hide from an old man like me? "
Seeing this, Stark hurriedly gave William a covert look. He hadn't told Obadiah about the stock market. He stepped forward and shook hands with William with a smile. "It's nothing, Stane. William and I have some differences in opinion about the new player. William is here to solve the player problem. You go ahead, Stane. I'll take care of William."
Obadiah understood that Stark was sending him away, and rubbed his big bald head helplessly. "Okay, I'll leave the technical matters to you two geniuses. I'll take care of the logistics and company matters for you.
Finally, welcome to Stark Industries, Mr. Devonshire. It's your honor and our fortune that you're a shareholder of Stark Industries. I'm sure you won't regret this decision in the future. "
"Thank you, Mr. Stane."
Stark nonchalantly sent off the obviously dissatisfied Obadiah and led William into the building. As soon as he entered the building, William saw the famous arc reactor.
Recalling the information about the arc reactor in the system over the past few days, he stopped and looked at the arc reactor and Stark. "Stark, can this arc reactor provide electricity for the entire industrial park?"
Seeing William staring at the reactor, Stark was very pleased. "Of course. It provides the energy that everyone in the industrial park needs. Why, are you interested in this?"
William nodded. The reason he had bought England Power was that he had thought of the arc reactor after seeing Stark. If he could build an arc reactor and put it in England, the stock price of England Power would immediately soar. He just didn't know how much the arc reactor cost to generate electricity now. This was one of the reasons why William had come to visit the Stark industrial park.
"Can this thing be used for civilian use now? If it can be used for civilian use, how much is the electricity bill? "William asked the engineer next to him.
The engineer looked at Stark, and seeing that he didn't mind, he said, "Mr. Devonshire, this reactor is already available for civilian use, and it's about 15% cheaper than ordinary electricity."
“15%？ Then why don't you use it for civilian use? "
The cheerful Stark immediately interrupted when he heard this. "Well, you won't understand even if I tell you."
"Stark, you're not the only genius in the world, so you might be surprised at some point," William said with an inexplicable smile in his eyes. This kind of arc wasn't difficult for him. The difficult part was how to get the patent authorization from Stark Industries.
Without the authorization of the patent, William would not be able to use the ark in business. A lawsuit could bankrupt William unless the entire country of England stood behind him and endorsed him. William thought about it, but he was not sure if England would disregard the country's credit for the ark.
"Wow, then I'll wait. Okay, let's go, I'll take you to see our profits." He glanced at William. He didn't think that other than him and his father, there was anyone else who could build an arc reactor.
Shaking his head, he walked in front of William and led him to his office. After entering the office, Stark poured William a glass of whiskey for William because he was now a director of the company.
He took out a report and handed it to William. "This is our income for the past few days. The scale of Beauty Group is still too small. We almost didn't complete the transaction with ten times leverage of six billion dollars. It fell 34% in three trading days.
Excluding the transaction fee, each of us earned 720 million dollars. Let me remind you, are you sure you want cash and not Beauty Group's debt-to-equity shares?
You should know that the value of these shares will rise by five times or even double before long. "
William shook his head. Of course, he knew that the shares would rise, but he didn't want to be involved with Las Vegas. The reputation of the spinach industry was very bad. There was no need to ruin his good reputation for some money.
Old Smith and Tony Stark, one was a tycoon in the card industry and the other was an arms tycoon, so they didn't care about the condemnation at all.
Moreover, the New York Secret Service and the soldiers were involved. He didn't know if there were other big forces behind these two groups. William had a hunch that Caesar's Palace's acquisition of Beauty Group wouldn't go so smoothly.
With so many uncertain factors, William felt that it was safer to put the money in his pocket first.
