Marvel's Umbrella

Chapter 38 Stock Price Rise
"These mutants are crazy enough to land on Ellis Island."

Tony shook his head and ate a cookie before taking a sip of his milk.

After a while, after eating and drinking, he began to walk towards the underground laboratory.

At this moment, on the workbench, lying quietly was a very thin battle armor, which was Mark V.

Because Tony decided to go to Sakura Country to look for clues, the previous armors are definitely not suitable to bring.

So he created his latest Mark V, a suit that turns into a suitcase.

"Jarvis, how did the defense test go?"

"Mr. Stark, because the armor is not thick enough, the defense test still failed."

"Ugh…"

Ever since he met the Bug-Man, Tony has had armor anxiety.

However, in order to be lightweight, the Mark V is naturally lacking in armor.

But when he thought of what Pepper had just said, he gave up the idea of ​​further improvement.

Due to the tight funds, he was willing but unable to do what he wanted.

"Okay, that's it, let's try it out."

So he went to the workbench, took down the Mark V and placed it on his feet, then reached out and pulled up the two handrails.

With a series of "ding-dong..." sounds, Mark V slowly opened, and then started from his feet, slowly covering his body.

Ten seconds later, Iron Man appeared.

But compared to the previous golden and red armor, the Mark V is red and white, and the armor looks a little thinner and not as ostentatious.

"Okay, it looks like we can set off now.

Jarvis, book me an international flight...

Forget it, I have to wait for more than a week, so I might as well book a flight to the Land of Cherry Blossoms. "

"OK.

The nearest flights are those departing tonight and tomorrow morning.

The flight departing tonight requires a transfer in Los Angeles, while the flight departing tomorrow morning can go directly. Which flight would you like, Mr. Stark?"

"tomorrow morning."

He doesn't like changing stations because it means wasting two more hours at the airport.

I don't know how much time had passed, but just when Tony put away the Mark V, the door of the laboratory was opened.

"Tony, there's big news, come out and read the news."

Looking at Pepper with a serious expression, Tony immediately followed her to the living room.

"Stark Enterprises' Ark Reactor New Energy has passed testing and official approval, and will be officially put into use in a week.

At that time, electricity rates across New York will be reduced by 0.3 cents.”

“Umbrella Corporation announced that it will join forces with Stark Enterprises to promote the Ark Reactor new energy source throughout the country.

This indicates that Umbrella will enter the new energy field!"

"Stark Enterprises and the military have reached a new weapons cooperation agreement. The value of this arms sale is over 10 billion dollars!"

"Due to the good news, Stark Enterprises' stock price has soared from fifty dollars in the morning to eighty dollars, and it is still rising."

Looking at the news, Pepper frowned slightly.

"How can he cooperate with Umbrella? Doesn't he know what kind of company that is?"

"Pepper? What's wrong? Isn't this good news?"

"The news is good, but I have checked Umbrella and found that it did a lot of dirty things in its early years.

And I always feel that things are not that simple, there must be some conspiracy behind this.”

“I think Obadiah has no other options.

After all, if Stark Enterprises' stock price doesn't rise, he will probably be torn to pieces by the shareholders."

"That's right. He must make some noise."

Pepper nodded, but her frown remained on her face.

"By the way, Obadiah just sent us an invitation letter, saying there will be a banquet in the evening, shall we go?" "Why not? We must warn him to be careful of Umbrella and never let it be acquired."

"Ah."

Both of them knew that Stark Enterprises was still called Stark Enterprises under Obadiah's management.

But if it is acquired by Umbrella, it will be called Umbrella Enterprises.

……

at the same time.

In the top floor office of the Umbrella Building in New York.

Li Feng sat in the boss's chair and listened to Filia's report.

"Boss, we have successfully combined the self-healing gene with the ancestral virus to create a new strain.

However, we encountered some difficulties with the energy-absorbing phagocytic genes.

These engulfing genes can absorb all external energy. When our ancestral virus comes into contact with these genes, it will be engulfed immediately and will not be able to merge with them at all."

"Have you tried to reduce the activity of the phagocytic gene?"

"I've tried it. At first, nothing will happen when the Devouring Gene and the Progenitor Virus come into contact. But once the Devouring Gene regains its vitality, it will immediately devour the Progenitor Virus."

"Then cut open the cell membrane, find the gene of the phagocytic factor, and try to make it bind to the ancestral virus."

"Yes."

After having a new direction, Filia immediately nodded and left the office.

When Luna, who was outside the door, saw Filia coming out, she smiled slightly and then went into the office.

"Boss, this is an order from General Ross."

Li Feng took the information and took a look at it.

"The price is so low?"

“General Ross purchased directly, without going through the purchasing department.

And they promised to let the top leaders of Sakura Country cooperate with us."

"Yes, Not Bad."

The G virus was certainly sold at a low price, but being able to connect with General Ross was something that could not be measured in money.

Sometimes a word from the other party can bring huge benefits to Umbrella.

As soon as he put the information down, he saw Luna come directly in front of him, bend down, and reveal a large area of ​​scenery.

"Boss, Obadiah invites you to attend the banquet tonight to celebrate the rise in Stark Enterprises' stock price."

Because the weather is getting hotter, Luna didn't wear a formal suit today, but a low-cut camisole that exposed her belly button.

Smelling the faint fragrance, Li Feng's mouth corners slightly raised.

"It's time to meet this sucker."

After saying this, he looked at the stock price on the computer screen.

It has risen to ninety dollars. That’s good. After a while, we can reap the fruits.

In fact, he never thought about taking full control of Stark Enterprises.

Because without Tony, Stark Enterprises is just an ordinary arms company, not much different from Hammer Enterprises.

To put it bluntly, the weapons that Stark Enterprises can produce can also be produced by Umbrella Corporation, but because there are no supporting industrial facilities, the production cost is a little higher.

So from the very beginning, he was just trying to make a quick buck and leave.

Instead, Starship Corporation, which is capable of launching satellites, is his most important goal.

As long as we have our own satellite in the sky, we can let go of many plans and things.

But although Starship Corporation has been losing rockets continuously in recent years, its market value is still not low. If they want to acquire it, they can only draw blood from Stark Enterprises.

At this time, Luna sat down in Li Feng's arms, hugging his neck with both hands.

"By the way, Osborne Enterprises recently launched a drug that can quickly heal wounds, and it is taking over our market."

"Osborn? I'll deal with him after I've dealt with the Yashida Company in Sakura Country."
