Chapter 206 Final Selection

If Tommy remembered correctly, at this point in time, Ivan Vanko should still be in Russia, living in that shabby apartment, living a very difficult life.

Given their living conditions, recruiting them is very simple and not difficult at all.

As long as Tommy threw out a thick stack of banknotes and showed off his strong financial resources, Ivan Vanko would immediately rush over to hug his thighs and cry and shout to work for him.

With the help of Ivan Vanko, the research on the Ark Reactor will quickly get on track.

Combined with Iron Man's authentic Ark Reactor prototype, Tommy believes that the day when he takes control of the Iron Man Corps will not be too far away.

"But what is the price?"

Ivan Vanko was filled with hatred for Tony.

Tommy already knew this.

Due to his own situation, that guy couldn't take revenge, but if he had the platform provided by Tommy, the answer to what Ivan Vanko would do was obvious.

He will never work honestly.

He will definitely find a chance to take revenge secretly.

After all, this is what Ivan did in the original plot. He directly put Justin Hammer into jail. Such a big arms company went bankrupt at any time.

Tommy thought about it carefully and finally gave up the idea of recruiting.

It's not that he has moral purities and hates super villains.

Guys like White Rabbit, vampire elder Amelia, and werewolf leader Lucian, none of them are good people, aren't they all doing well under him?

Besides, he himself wasn't very clean.

Even though he is doing well now, he seems like a member of upper class society.

But the process of his rise to wealth was full of blood and it was simply impossible to tell anyone about it.

All I can say is that we should be realistic.

At his point, character is no longer a criterion for hiring people.

At least not the decisive factor.

The key is whether that person has value.

If Ivan's mind is smart enough, he may be a genius even more talented than Tony.

Then Tommy would not care about the grudges between Ivan and Tony, and would even be willing to step forward and take the initiative to mediate between them.

But Ivan wasn't worth it.

That guy's abilities can't even compare to Tony's.

He doesn't even have 70% of Tony's ability. No, I should say he may not even have half of Tony's ability.

The most important thing is that Ivan has some problems with his brain.

It was okay in the early stages, perhaps due to insufficient materials, so he could only make energy whips as weapons.

But even with the funding from Hammer Industries later on, Ivan still held on to the two energy whips, which was very puzzling.

If he had an energy gun or energy cannon, he might be able to succeed in his revenge.

Even if we use Hammer Industries' ex-wife missiles, they are many times more powerful than those two broken whips!
With such a stubborn guy, Tommy has nothing to worry about.

Let's try another approach and think of some other solution.

"I have an idea."

Just then, Dr. Connors suddenly thought of something and said a name.

"I know a man who was my colleague when I was a professor at the university. His name is Otto Gunther Octavius. If he can join the project team, he may be able to help us solve the problem at hand."

"You mean Dr. Otto?"

Upon hearing the familiar name, Dr. Morbius's face showed understanding.

"I've heard of him. I heard that he's a genius in physics, specializing in nuclear physics and atomic energy. He's deeply involved in mechanical engineering and has made great achievements in energy technology. I heard that he's trying to raise funds for his own project. I think it's about an artificial intelligence robotic arm?" "Yes, that's right."

Dr. Connors nodded and added, "To be precise, the artificial intelligence robotic arm is just an auxiliary. Dr. Otto's real project is nuclear fusion energy technology, which is somewhat similar to our project."

"Wait, let me think about it."

Hearing the two of them say this, Tommy felt it was familiar.

Artificial intelligence robotic arms, and nuclear fusion energy technology...

After a moment's thought, Tommy finally remembered.

What Dr. Otto? Isn’t this Dr. Octopus?
Alas, how could he forget about this person?

At this moment, information about Dr. Otto flashed quickly through Tommy's mind.

This talented scientist has great attainments in nuclear physics, mechanical engineering and energy technology.

It is indeed highly consistent with the research on the Ark Reactor.

More importantly, at this point in time, Dr. Otto has not yet experienced the accident that changed his life.

This means that he still maintains a clear and rational mind and is an inventor who focuses on scientific research.

Instead of the evil and paranoid Dr. Octopus who was influenced by the mechanical arm.

"Otto Gunther Octavius..."

Tommy muttered the name under his breath.

"I've decided to let Dr. Otto join our project. As for the person to contact the other party... Dr. Connors, I may have to trouble you to go this time."

"No problem, just leave it to me."

Without any hesitation, Dr. Connors readily accepted the task.

"I have worked with Otto before, and our relationship was pretty good. Even now, my wife often goes shopping with Mrs. Otto."

"Okay, let's do it this way."

Tommy said decisively, "No matter what conditions Dr. Otto puts forward, as long as they are not too excessive, I can consider them. However, Dr. Connors, you need to act faster and it would be best if you can get the contract done in the next few days."

Tommy can't let anyone else take away such an outstanding scientist.

He vaguely remembered that in the original plot, it was the Osborn Group that provided Otto with the experimental funds, and then something happened to Otto.

All I can say is that the Osborne Group is a bit evil.

Green Goblin Norman Osborn, Lizard Doctor Kurt Connors, Octopus Doctor Otto Octavius, Demon Roderick Kingsley, Rhino Alexi, Electric Man Max Dillon...

Almost every one of these guys is related to the Osborne Group.

Just one company can create so many super villains. The Osborn Group is quite capable.

However, with Tommy's intervention, Kurt Connors avoided the fate of becoming a lizard man.

If Otto could join his company, Doctor Octopus would disappear from the world.

"In this case, wouldn't the Sinister Six become the Sinister Four? Never mind."

Tommy shook his head, pushing those irrelevant thoughts away.

The focus now is not on the Osborn Group or the Sinister Six.

The question is how to recruit Dr. Otto to the company as soon as possible, let him work for Giant God Corporation, and use his genius and wisdom to promote the research of the Ark Reactor.

After giving Dr. Connors some instructions, Tommy left the laboratory.

He still has a lot of work to do.

Although Jin said that everything was normal in all companies, he was away for too long this time. He had not shown up for almost several months, and there was not even a trace of him, which inevitably made some people panic.

It’s best to show up as soon as possible.
