Chapter 99 – The ambition of business empire
"Take a look at these design blueprints." Chris said as he pushed them forward. "They are all new patents, so remember to register them. I want a 30% ownership stake in Stark Industries, but only for dividend purposes and without any decision-making power. For every subsequent investment, I expect an additional dividends going to me."
Chris proposed a deal and it sounded excessive, but Howard was not difficult to accept it, "30% is too much, only 20%, but the additional dividends can go up, what do you think?"
"Deal!" Chris then lit a cigarette, after fucking a beautiful woman and ejaculating and then smoking a cigarette leisurely, don't mention how cool it is!
Howard felt a bit bewildered, "You agreed so readily? Am I losing money?"
Chris's quick agreement left Howard, a seasoned businessman, with a strange sensation that he may have been taken advantage of.
"Come on, I'm losing money! I just hate inked negotiations, we are so familiar with each other, so don't talk nonsense, a bite price. We're all on the same side here, and if I lose a little, you gain a little. It's better than letting someone else profit." Chris said, waving his hand dismissively. He picked up the red wine and took a sip.
"You help me to make money and I am being a hands-off owner to take time to fuck my wives, where everyone gets what they need." Chris continued.
This open-mindedness also made Howard nod slightly, it seems his intuition was wrong, his friend is a little rogue, but his character is okay!
The design blueprints were pressure cookers, induction cookers, electric water heaters, and so on. There were also some automobile design drawings among them, which made Howard a little confused for a moment, "You designed all these?"
"I'm an all-rounder, that's beyond question. I just prefer not to exert myself. I enjoy seeking pleasure rather than inventing!" Chris's expression held a mix of disdain and mockery.
"As long as that's true, you really are a genius!" Howard also had to praise one sentence, although he was merely being polite.
The Ark Reactor he had researched and designed would be an energy change if it could be made, but it was too bad it couldn't be made now.
These patented inventions, in his opinion, were small, more practical, and can make money, as people will only buy what they need.
Stark Industries initially focused on securing large contracts and collaborating with military entities. They didn't pay much attention to small inventions. However, now that these designs were available, it's certainly possible to use them to make money.
here wasn't any person or company that would go against the money, that would be foolish.
"Have you ever thought about starting your own business?" Howard asked suddenly.
"Does running a criminal organization count?" Chris chuckled. "If I were to start a company, it would focus on clean energy and food resources. Hey, as a shareholder, I can handle the businesses you're not interested in, right?"
He wanted to go into the bar industry, the fitness industry, and the entertainment and restaurant industry. Those industries could provide a lot of jobs and give his gang a better whitewash!
There were whites and there were blacks, Chris didn't exclude gangs, he was already trying to control a gang of his own, when that time came, whatever he did would be much more convenient!
"That's good, let me know if you need any help, I'd like to see your name in the realm of business empires." Howard picked up his glass and clinked it with Chris!
...
After talking things over with Howard, Chris started buying up land.
The first was the agricultural areas, all the land that could be planted was bought up, and these farmers who couldn't afford the cost of living had to be forced to sell their places.
Without exception, no violence was involved. Chris also disdained using violence against civilians. Abusing violence only turned oneself into a beast. Exercising restraint in the use of violence was what truly demonstrated the mastery of power, rather than being controlled by it.
"Go find those unemployed individuals burdened with families, gather them together, and protect them while engaging in small-scale trading. Let's build up a mobile business and earn every penny we can!" Chris commanded upon returning to the gang's base. He wanted to start from the lower ranks of the industry, where a few cents could buy a decent portion of fries or popcorn - undeniably attractive!
