Chapter 24: Don't give in

"Of course, but if Mr. Kennedy is always so hungry, I believe it will be difficult for us to cooperate.

After all, the first key to doing business is to act within your capabilities."

"I don't think Mr. Kennedy would want his partner to be a greedy vulture." Killian looked at Kennedy in front of him and continued.

"Oh! Then perhaps Mr. Killian has a better suggestion." At that moment, Kennedy spoke noncommittally.

"Fifty billion dollars, five percent of the shares."

As soon as Killian finished speaking, Kennedy's voice suddenly rang out.

"Impossible!"

"Fifty billion, five percent of the shares? For heaven's sake, you are completely insane, young man, you must know that even the most popular tech giant, Stark Group, isn't as expensive as you."

"Even Microsoft, the most influential company in the world, is only worth 600 billion, you can't possibly think you can surpass them with just Baymax, right?

"...I hope you know what you are talking about, young man." After the initial outburst, Kennedy calmed down and then looked at Killian in front of him with a grim face and said.

You must know that after Tony Stark announced he would take over Stark Company, he got many orders through various military technologies and cooperation with the military.

It has become a money tree in the eyes of investors, but even so, the market capitalization is only tens of billions of dollars, and it is still artificially high.

Now, a little-known small company wants 50 billion for just five percent of the shares, they really think he can shit money, right?

Not to mention him, if it were anyone else, their performance would be even more outrageous than Kennedy's right now.

If it were a bit more extreme, I wouldn't have said anything on the spot.

"Of course, I know what I'm talking about."

"Mr. Kennedy, if you are only interested in Baymax's technology, then I can set up another subsidiary of Pioneer Technology as the Pioneer Technology Robot Company exclusively responsible for Baymax."

"In this company, Mr. Kennedy, if you want to invest 20% or 3 billion dollars, I can be your friend."

"But Mr. Kennedy, will you?" Killian looked slightly bored and disappointed at Kennedy, who had lost his composure in front of him.

For Killian, the most important thing in Baymax is influence, and making money is secondary.

If he can win over more than half of the high-ranking officials of the United States government with just 20% of the shares, then for Killian, it's a complete bargain.

And don't look at the fact that the Stark Group in the movie is so superior, it has openly and secretly opposed the military and the government so many times, and even at the end stopped cooperating with the military, why can they still stand?

This is because there are countless government investors, big and small, in the company's shares of the Stark Group.

And these people have invisibly gathered into a force dedicated to protecting the Stark Group.

After all, if Stark is unfortunate enough to be attacked, it is equivalent to touching their money bag.

In a capitalist society like the United States, if your money bag is destroyed, then you can no longer live a stable life.

"What do you mean?!"

After hearing Killian's words, Kennedy, who rarely calmed down, looked directly at Killian in front of him and asked.

Obviously, he understood the meaning of Killian's words, Pioneer Technology must have other plans.

"Pioneer Technology is a group of private investment experts established just over ten years ago."

"Our main projects include, among others, various collaborative development projects with external partners, internal machinery development, chip development, biopharmaceutical products, and other cutting-edge fields."

"And it is well known that when a company launches a first-generation product, it is enough to prove that it has a second or even third-generation product."

"And I've said it from the beginning, Pioneer Technology is a real high-tech company and will not be limited to a single project."

"Believe me, Mr. Kennedy, you won't lose money."

"Moreover, Pioneer Technology will not go public, and the only people who will make money in the company will be our own people."

At that moment, Killian also caught Congressman Kennedy's gaze and calmly uttered each word.

"If it doesn't go public, then how are you going to make money?!"

"You have to know that even if you have the Baymax robot, that year you could only sell it for a few dollars, if it goes on the market, you would get at least hundreds or even thousands of times in return."

After hearing Killian's words, Redman, who had been silent from start to finish, couldn't help but speak.

After hearing Redman's speech, Kennedy no longer spoke and simply turned his head and looked at Killian in front of him, as if waiting for his

explanation.

"Yes, I admit that by going public, even if you do nothing, you can make a lot of money just from the first wave."

"But you know, that's just for companies in general."

"First, we are a technology company, if a company goes public, it must make its information open and transparent."

"And that is fatal for a company with many high-tech secrets, so it cannot be listed."

"Second, not going public can ensure that, within us, everyone's shares are pure and won't be diluted, and what I deliver will not be easily reclaimed."

"The third and most important point, but I can't reveal it due to commercial confidentiality, but believe me, Congressman Kennedy and Congressman Redman, if you join, you will definitely not suffer any losses and will even feel that there is excellent value for money." Killian said with a persuasive voice.

"How do I know if you haven't lied to us?! You should know it's 50 billion U.S. dollars and no person or force can simply give it away."

After remaining silent for a long time, Kennedy stared intently at Killian, as if wanting to open his skull and look inside his brain, and asked.

"First, I am a businessman and a scientist."

"Whether for profit or reputation, I would not be so foolish as to challenge a team with half the influence in the United States."

"I'm not foolish."

"Secondly, perhaps, isn't Baymax enough to explain it all?"

"I can clearly state that Baymax is at least twenty years ahead of the current technological level of the world, I think you understand that better than I do, otherwise we wouldn't be sitting here."

"Thirdly, if I really wanted to scam money, I could definitely hang you first and then use your name to find successful people in the United States."

"Believe me, as soon as the relevant reports come out, I will be able to make more money."

Looking at Kennedy in front of him, Killian knew he was still moved, so he continued.
