I Am Gwen's Spider-Man Mentor

Chapter 28 The Game on the Rolls-Royce
To start a power struggle, what should be done first?
The first thing you should do is not to engage in some ingenuity, plans, plans, plans, or get some supporters, the media, make some speeches, make some declarations, nor go to your immediate superiors to ask for the wharf and stand in the front—first of all, the most What you should do is to figure out what your source of power is.

Raymond understands that he has two sources of power:
First, he was supported by the public under the banner of upholding the "Stark principle", which means that he must and can only be a loyal servant of Tony Stark, unless his brain is pumped, he will use Howard Stark, the sword of the previous dynasty, came to kill Tony Stark, the official of this dynasty.Therefore, he must try his best to meet any needs of Tony, and wipe his ass for Tony and gain his trust.

Not to mention that Obadiah is still in office and even controls the board of directors. Even if Tony Stark pushes him hard after driving Obadiah away, he can become the CEO of Stark Industries in the morning, and the board of directors will be against him in the afternoon. He launched a collective impeachment.

Second, on the surface, his source of power is the so-called "Stark principle", but in fact, his core supporters sit in many government buildings in Washington DC, and his strongest supporter is the National Intelligence Director Ms. Stephanie Haines, or rather, the gentleman in the Oval Office in the West Wing represented by Stephanie Haines.

This means that what he is doing now may not be beneficial to the United States, or even the US government, but it must be beneficial to the President-elect, and must be beneficial to the President to further increase his approval rating, or at least avoid a decline in the approval rating.

In other words, he knows that Tony Stark is about to announce the dissolution of the Stark Industries weapons R&D and manufacturing department in public, and he wants to reduce this matter as much as possible without violating the giant baby Tony Stark. The impact on Stark Industries itself, try to control or even prevent Stark Industries from losing their jobs.

In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to the identity change of Tony Stark.Before going to Afghanistan, Tony was just a playboy, and after going to Afghanistan, he became Iron Man- although self-righteousness and childishness run through both identities, Tony has just returned in his new identity...

In Raymond's hometown, during the dynasty era, when a new emperor came to the throne, ordinary civil and military officials would not block his first few orders.The current Tony Stark is exactly the identity of the "new emperor enthroned".

But conversely, considering the interests of the President-elect, and considering the impact of the disbandment of Stark Industries' weapons R&D and manufacturing department on the company's stock price, regional and even national economy, and employment rate, Raymond must stop this order, otherwise , Director Stephanie will immediately regard him as a traitor, withdraw all support for him, and write him to the people he once opposed.

After all, it is a common characteristic of Washington bureaucrats that "if you lose, you will hold grudges, and if you win, you will counterattack and reckon."

Then Obadiah can grow and flatten him like dough-this is still expected based on the fact that Gwen is willing to take him.

"Xu—" Tony's voice was unprecedentedly dignified, "Who is selling our weapons to those thugs?"

Tony Stark's voice called back the soul of Raymond Xu, who was wandering in the sky.When he met his boss's rather charming eyes, the professor felt that the temperature of the air conditioner in the car was turned on so low - he felt cold all over.The following dialogue will determine the ultimate fate of this political speculation.

"The intelligence department suspected that it was an insider in the company. According to the clues they provided, we pointed the finger of suspicion at Obadiah Stein, but we have not yet obtained any convincing evidence, although the intelligence department also thinks so .” Raymond Xu glanced at Pepper Potts who was sitting on the other side of Tony—he stated his point of view, but it was also Pepper Potts’ point of view, even if Stark didn’t trust himself, he After all, trust Pepper Potts.

"Obadiah?" Tony Stark frowned. "Your accusations are indeed quite serious. He and my father built this company from scratch, but..." Halfway through, Tony himself fell into hesitation, he knew that Obadiah did have such energy, enough to do such a thing...

But the experience in Afghanistan reminded him that he could not directly rely on Raymond's judgment, so he decided to continue asking: "What good does Obadiah do these things? How many weapons can those terrorists buy? How much money can the company make from it?" ?”

"The company really can't..." Raymond could only sigh in return for Stark's naivety, and then kept silent cautiously.

Of course he can tell the truth to gain the trust of Tony Stark, but honesty means that he will betray Director Stephanie Haynes-right now, the Director of Intelligence and the President-elect are his core sources of power, he One cannot betray one's own source of power, just as a man cannot kill himself.

As for Tony Stark's trust and support?He is still in a puddle of mud now, he can't sell now for Iron Man's futures support, can he?So can I live to the day when Tony Stark controls everything?

Tony Stark glanced at Raymond Xu who remained silent, and exchanged glances with Pepper - the woman beckoned him not to ask any more questions.So Tony decided to listen to the advice, but his mind of "doing something big" today has not changed.

"Xu, I have decided to disband the company's weapons R&D and manufacturing department." Tony tried to say this in a calm tone.

"I understand." To Tony's surprise, Raymond did not express any surprise, he just nodded, and then continued to respond: "After seeing the company's internal transaction information, I am also thinking about Stark Industries' weapons research and development. And where should the manufacturing business go..."

As he spoke, he took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Tony beside him——Tony Stark at this time was still able to accept things handed over by others.Tony took a cursory glance at the headline: "A list of business lines related to Stark Industries weapons R&D and manufacturing? What does this mean?"

"If we want to disband the weapons research and development and manufacturing department, we need to disband about [-]% of the company's business units and [-]% of the employees. If you want to disband completely, it is [-]% of the employees. This figure has not been calculated from us. The contractor who takes on the contract."

"I don't want to hear that." Tony knew that Raymond said this, and he probably expressed his disapproval. "You know what I saw in Afghanistan? Take their lives, almost including my own!"

"No no no—" Raymond said, "I dreamed of world peace when I was in college, and we don't need any weapons anymore, so I have prepared you to dissolve the business of dissolving the company [-]% of the business and [-]% All the documents your employees need, you just have to sign."

With that said, Raymond continuously took out documents from his briefcase:

"This is a formality document required for the dissolution of the business line. At the top is the company's application for bankruptcy protection to the Federal Court in the central district of Manhattan. When layoffs are carried out in accordance with the labor contract, we promise employees compensation documents. This is the bank and contractor. Regarding the liquidated damages formalities contract, this is the equity sale and pledge agreement, this is the mortgage of your residence and vehicle to the bank in exchange for cash, and we may also receive a long list of lawsuits, so we need to sign with a law firm The document of the framework agreement..."

"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Tony Stark doesn't care about where he lives or those luxury cars now, he just wants to do something to make his conscience feel better, "Xu, we have technology, we won't be short of money, we There are enough liquidated damages for resigned employees."

"What technology?" Even though he already knew what Tony Stark was talking about, Raymond decided to play dumb.

Tony and Pepper looked at each other, and after the woman gave him a positive look, he lifted off his clothes, revealing the glow on his chest.

"Oh my God! Tony, your chest is almost... Are you okay? Are you sure you don't need to check it?" Raymond frowned at the right time to express his concern for his boss. Finally, he Asked the technical question: "Arc shock reactor?"

"Frankly, I thought you only cared about this thing." Hearing that the person in front of him actually cared about himself more than the nuclear fusion reactor, Tony Stark was a little shocked, and then he tapped the reactor on his chest with emotion , "Raymond, I didn't find out before, you are a good friend."

"Mr. Stark, I suggest you go to the hospital for an examination right now." Raymond strengthened his tone of concern, and made the show even more - after Stark refused, he said slowly: "No You promoted me to this position, and I will not have what I am today. There is a saying in my hometown called Zhientubao, and this is my Zhientubao."

"So, Mr. Stark—" Raymond said earnestly, "I admit that this technology will allow us to stand at the pinnacle of the next era, but... I also have to take care of the company's present. The patent is sold to pay compensation to the employees, right?"

"But!" Tony emphasized his will again, "We can no longer sell weapons to those terrorists, and we can no longer manufacture weapons that take the lives of innocent people!"

"That's right." To Tony Stark's surprise, Raymond, who should have opposed it in his imagination, nodded heavily, "In order to minimize the loss and successfully shut down the weapon research and development and manufacturing business, this is A backup plan."
