From the prototype, immortal - Chapter 1362

In this way, Tony returned to Stark Industries. His return not only meant a reversal of personal destiny, but also heralded that the world’s top technology giant was about to usher in an unprecedented change.

If Tony wants to realize his grand blueprint – a Stark Industries with new energy as its core and completely freed from the constraints of traditional weapons manufacturing, he first needs to gain absolute controlling rights.

To drive corporate transformation, reducing conflicts of interest and obstacles among shareholders is critical.

After all, a major decision like closing the arms department will undoubtedly touch the sensitive nerves of shareholders who rely on the profits of the arms business.

Tony acted quickly and decisively.

He not only exposed Obadiah’s long-term wrongdoings, including financial fraud, illegal weapons transactions, etc., but also made these scandals public through the media, arousing widespread public attention and condemnation.

This series of operations not only weakened the influence of Obadiah and his supporters, but also further accelerated the decline of Stark Industries’ stock price.

At the same time, Tony knew better that in order to realize the great dream of clean energy and technological innovation in his heart, Stark Industries must be completely reformed.

And that means reducing the number of shareholders who might be opposed to change.

Closing the weapons department was his first strong signal to the outside world.

This news was like a bombshell, instantly causing an uproar in the stock market and the industry.

Stark Industries’ stock price is like riding a roller coaster, plummeting from the clouds to the bottom.

Investors sold in panic, fearing that this decision would lead to a sharp decline in the company’s profits and even affect the company’s survival.

The shareholders on the board of directors are also worried. Many of them have accumulated huge wealth through Stark Industries’ weapons manufacturing business.

Tony’s hand undoubtedly touched their sensitive nerves.

Some of them began to privately look for an exit, considering how to cash out before the company completely collapsed.

After Chang Wei saw the news that Tony announced the closure of the weapons department, he quickly summoned his men and formulated a careful acquisition plan.

In order to avoid his acquisition behavior being misunderstood as a simple rescue move, Chang Wei particularly emphasized the importance of strategic acquisitions.

He asked the team not only to pay attention to Stark Industries’ shares in the public market, but also to actively contact board members with larger shareholdings and acquire their shares at a more favorable price through private negotiations.

To this end, Chang Wei even used his extensive contacts in the political and business circles to exert influence from multiple angles to accelerate the process.

At the same time, Chang Wei also dispatched a capable public relations team and began to build momentum in the media. On the one hand, he exaggerated the difficulties faced by Stark Industries, and on the other hand, he emphasized the steady development of Ares Industry and his expectations for future technology trends. Get it right.

This series of operations aims to create an atmosphere of public opinion that “Ares Industries is the best substitute for Stark Industries”, thereby reducing the resistance of Stark Industries shareholders and increasing their willingness to sell their shares.

Under Chang Wei’s careful layout, Ares Industrial’s acquisition went extremely smoothly.

Many shareholders who were originally pessimistic about the future of Stark Industries began to consider liquidating their shares and switching to Ares Industries, which seemed more reliable.

Some board members who originally had a wait-and-see attitude towards Tony’s reform also began to waver under Chang Wei’s lobbying. They were worried that they might face greater risks and uncertainties if they continued to stay in Stark Industries.

“Sir, the process of share recovery has encountered unexpected obstacles.”

Jarvis’s voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Tony Stark’s contemplation when he was concentrating on studying the new steel suit.

Hearing this, Tony raised his head suddenly, revealing his confusion and curiosity.

“What is the specific situation?”

There was a hint of urgency in Tony’s tone. In the ups and downs of the business world, any small fluctuation may trigger a huge chain reaction, especially in this era of rapid technological advancement.

“According to our intelligence analysis, an anonymous investor has recently purchased shares of Stark Industries in the market and currently holds more than ten percent of the shares.”

Jarvis’s voice came clearly to Tony’s ears through the advanced audio system.

When Tony heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and his body leaned forward involuntarily, almost bouncing off the workbench.

Ten percent of the shares is a number that cannot be ignored for any company, let alone an industry giant like Stark Industries.

In the high-tech field, there are only a handful of companies that can stand shoulder to shoulder with Stark Industries. Osborne relies on its breakthroughs in biotechnology and genetic engineering, while Hammer Industries relies on its deep foundation in mass production of military equipment and weapons. But when it comes to With comprehensive strength and innovative capabilities, Stark Industries is undoubtedly in a leading position.

Stark Industries not only has huge financial resources that can compete with many European countries, but its internal structure is also extremely complex.

As the company’s founder and CEO, Tony holds approximately 23% of the shares and is the company’s largest shareholder. He is also the holder of many key patents, covering everything from energy technology to artificial intelligence. Field is the core competitiveness of Stark Industries.

These patents not only belong to Tony himself, but also inherited from his father, Howard Stark, so Tony’s position in the company is almost unshakable, barring extreme market turmoil or legal disputes.

Obadiah Stane, the veteran who co-founded the company with Howard Stark, was once the second largest shareholder of Stark Industries, holding about 11% of the shares, and was also the company operator designated by Tony’s father during his lifetime.

However, as Tony returned and exposed Obadiah’s conspiracy to usurp control of the company, Obadiah was eventually sent to prison, and his shares were legally transferred to Tony, further consolidating Tony’s position.

As for the distribution of the remaining shares, it is even more complicated.

The shares held by individual shareholders account for about 5%. Although this part of the shares is dispersed, it may also form a force that cannot be ignored under certain conditions.

Wall Street financial tycoons, such as JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs, hold about 7% of Stark Industries’ shares through complex investment portfolios. Although they are not directly involved in the company’s operations, they can influence the stock price and market confidence at critical moments.

The US military, especially the Air Force and the Army, as long-term partners of Stark Industries, jointly hold about 10% of the shares. This part of the shares not only reflects the military’s dependence on Stark Industries’ technology, but also symbolizes the deep cooperation between the two sides.
