Chapter 31: Involving the little Pepper
Obadiah would never have thought that Lu Yuan would play such a big game. He was actually colluding with him in front of Tony.
Who would have thought of this? The blueprint that Lu Yuan had given him was indeed real, and it was Tony’s core technology. However, this was Lu Yuan’s idea.
It was also Lu Yuan who urged Obadiah to steal Tony’s ark reactor.
He would never have thought that all this just was a trap, a game.
Therefore, Obadiah was not stupid. It was just that Lu Yuan and Tony had lied to him from the very beginning.
That said, it was a matter of strategy.
To put it more bluntly, the technology that Lu Yuan gave Obadiah was equivalent to a nuclear weapon, and there was no need to mention the value of a nuclear weapon.
Lu Yuan did not lie to him. What he gave him was indeed real.
It was just that Obadiah’s subordinates did not live up to his expectations and they could not create the miniature ark reactor, which led to the current situation.
Obadiah had no reason to doubt Lu Yuan’s sincerity. Lu Yuan also did not mind giving such a weapon to him.
So what if Iron Monger was equivalent to a nuclear bomb? It only needed a slap, then it would be a pile of scrap metal. That was why Lu Yuan did not care.
Since Obadiah did not know about this, he naturally did not suspect Lu Yuan.
“I’ll send you the money before this afternoon, and I’ll hold the company’s annual meeting in three days. However, if you dare to lie to me, you’ll die.” Obadiah agreed to Lu Yuan’s demand, and he was going to pay him one billion US dollars.
This amount of money was quite a lot. It was an astronomical figure for almost everyone.
Even the richest person would feel hurt if he had to take out one billion dollars.
Moreover, based on the value at that time, this one billion US dollars could compare to 5 billion US dollars.
Inflation, expansion of goods, foreign exchange depreciation, and even the status of the United States was very good at that time, so the value of the dollar was indeed a lot.
This was an important sum of money for Obadiah. Therefore, he warned Lu Yuan that if he dared to play with him, he would make him pay the price even if he had to die.
Lu Yuan did not take Obadiah’s threat seriously at all. He made a winning gesture at Tony and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll help you keep an eye on Tony and stop him from going home. Moreover, he would not have thought that you would come to steal things. Wouldn’t you be able to enter his home unhindered? I’ll even tell you where it is.”
Obadiah let out a long breath. Since he had already made his decision, he had no option of turning back.
After putting down the phone, the first thing Obadiah did was to ask someone to give Lu Yuan the money.
Lu Yuan whistled as he looked at the bank card information displayed on his phone. He liked the feeling of having money in his bank account, not to mention that these few transactions with Obadiah were not small.
He already had 1030 million dollars in his hands.
In fact, the last time Lu Yuan sold blueprints, he had scammed 30 million from Obadiah’s hands.
Today, he had scammed another one billion. Even Tony was speechless. This method of making money was even easier than his own.
At the very least, Tony still had to develop and research things by himself.
“Tony, if you don’t give me my salary, I’m really going to join Obadiah. Look at how generous and cute he is. Then look at you again.” Lu Yuan pointed at Tony with his cell phone. His face was full of pain as if he was really regretting his decision to join Tony instead of Obadiah.
Tony was speechless. Big brother, who is taking care of your necessities right now?
Moreover, Tony’s hidden wine was worth tens of millions of dollars. All of it was drunk by Lu Yuan like water. Did he say anything?
This person was simply unreasonable.
Tony retorted, “Besides, didn’t we already make an agreement that when we take down Obadiah, all of his shares be transferred to you? Isn’t this enough to fill your appetite?”
Little pepper on the side was shocked once again.
In fact, the board of directors of the Stark industries had only two major shareholders. One of them was naturally Tony, and the other was Obadiah.
It could be said that the entire group was controlled by the two of them, and the other shareholders were useless.
Let’s put it this way. Tony and Obadiah each held 40% of the shares of the group, and the other board members controlled the remaining 20%.
He was going to transfer 40% of his shares to Lu Yuan? Why?
Little Pepper was stunned because this was an astronomical fortune.
Just looking at Tony’s financial strength was enough to explain it.
Little Pepper didn’t understand, but Tony didn’t think it was exaggerated at all. In his opinion, if he could use these 40% shares to bring Lu Yuan to his side, it wouldn’t be too much.
First, Lu Yuan was his savior, and he knew how terrifying Lu Yuan’s strength was.
Secondly, even without mentioning the above reason, just the knowledge of alien technology that Lu Yuan had in his head was enough to make him pay such a large price.
What Tony needed and desired was the more advanced technology that Lu Yuan had.
That’s why Tony was a smart person. He would never make a loss.
Once it became Lu Yuan’s own company, wouldn’t he help the company develop new technology? The company would only rise to the next level.
Besides, Tony only transferred Obadiah’s shares to Lu Yuan, and Obadiah was going to be defeated by Lu Yuan. It was equivalent to buying people’s hearts and eliminating enemies. The company would also have a new future and hope.
This deal was simply a huge profit.
“By the way, aren’t you going to treat us to something?” Tony was unwilling to show weakness. He wanted to dig out some from Lu Yuan’s hands.
Before it was Lu Yuan who had been eating and drinking from him, so now it was his turn to get some benefits.
However, Lu Yuan immediately put away his phone and changed the topic without hesitation. “Do you still have time to think about this? We have to take action three days later. Instead of wasting time, you should see if there is anything that needs to be improved or repaired. Also, we planned to gather the evidence that Obadiah might have stored in his computer while we lure him to steal the miniature ark reactor. Have you thought of what to do?”
Little Pepper on the side had been looking at them with a blank face. She couldn’t understand anything at all.
Tony originally wanted Lu Yuan to steal Obadiah’s computer data.
However, Lu Yuan did not want to do something so troublesome. So he used his eyes to indicate to Little Pepper, “I can’t do anything else because I have to keep an eye on you. If I suddenly disappear, Obadiah will know that he has been tricked. You have to tell Little Pepper about the cause and effect. After all, she’s already involved.”
