From the prototype, immortal

Chang Wei sat in his slightly messy but technological office, with several documents scattered on his desk. The most eye-catching of them were two orders from different agencies - one with the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) emblem and the other with the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) logo.

However, for Chang Wei, these logos were just a cover to deceive people.

"Humph, what CIA, what FBI, it's obviously the old trick of SHIELD."

Chang Wei's mouth curled up with a disdainful smile, he knew too well how these intelligence agencies operate.

Although the CIA and FBI play an important role in intelligence gathering and counter-terrorism operations, they can usually only sigh in despair when it comes to high-tech equipment, especially cutting-edge military technology such as power armor.

The research and development and production of such equipment have always been the exclusive territory of the military. Even the wealthy CIA and FBI dare not easily take food from the military.

Chang Wei's eyes scanned the two orders, and finally fixed on the series of astonishing numbers.

As soon as this sentence came out, the whole conference room seemed to be frozen by an invisible force.

There was a kind of optimism in his words, as if everything was under control.

"This is not a small amount."

Obadiah's eyes flashed with light, which was a vision of the future and full of expectations for the glory that Stark Industries was about to usher in.

A series of question marks flashed through Tony's mind, the most critical of which was: How should he deliver those power armors that did not exist at all to the Ministry of Defense? You can't really split the Iron Man suit - the personal equipment he built by himself to protect the world - into countless pieces to sell, right? Obadiah sat at the other end of the conference table with a faint smile on his face, a smile that was a mixture of confidence and calculation.

However, Chang Wei did not sell the power armor to strengthen America and the strength of SHIELD.

SHIELD's order is also for 100 sets, but the delivery deadline is more urgent, requiring completion within two and a half years.

"Obadiah, how could you sign a contract with the Department of Defense without my consent?"

"Tony, this is a matter of time. Believe me, even if you haven't solved the problem of mass production yet, we can discuss with the Department of Defense to postpone delivery. After all, they have prepared the funds and the deposit has been received. Moreover, Ares Industries has already accepted an order worth 10 billion, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Enough! Stan!"

In his view, power armor will become the next miracle of Stark Industries, allowing the company to gain a firm foothold in the field of science and technology, and even surpass all previous achievements.

However, Tony's interruption was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing his enthusiasm.

However, SHIELD obviously didn't care about it. They not only put forward an order demand, but also offered extremely attractive conditions: as long as Ares Industries can complete the order in advance, SHIELD is willing to pay an additional one million US dollars as a reward for each set of power armor delivered in advance.

"The reason why SHIELD didn't order more is also a smart performance."

Outside the window, the night fell, and the lights of the city were twinkling, but it seemed unable to illuminate the haze in this room.

Power armor, a super soldier equipment that combines defense, mobility, and firepower support, costs and sells for each set as high as 100 million US dollars, which is a considerable expense even for the wealthy United States of America.

All this is to pave the way for the White Skull , otherwise it would be meaningless if it breaks at the touch. On the other side, Tony Stark and Obadiah Stane were in a spacious and slightly deserted conference room, and the atmosphere was so tense that you could almost hear the sound of a pin drop.

Such time pressure is a huge challenge for any manufacturer, but for industry giants like Ares Industries, it is also an excellent opportunity to demonstrate its technical strength and production efficiency.

Especially when the number of orders reaches 100 sets, this extra bonus is enough for Ares Industries to earn an extra set of power armor, which is an irresistible temptation for any company.

Although one million US dollars seems insignificant compared to the unit price of 100 million US dollars, a little bit adds up to a lot. If it can really achieve early delivery, the extra income of one million will be a considerable profit.

"If you don't make money, you bastard, do the order from SHIELD first."

Tony stood up suddenly, his tone full of unquestionable firmness, "From the beginning, there was no power armor that could be mass-produced! And I have decided to close the weapons department of Stark Industries!"

Chang Wei secretly analyzed in his heart.

As for the newly emerged competitor, Ares Industries, Obadiah didn't take it seriously.

He was going to stir up trouble.

He knew Tony's genius very well, and believed that with Tony's R\u0026D speed and innovation ability, Stark Industries would soon be able to launch updated products and leave Ares Industries far behind.

The contract signed by Ares Industries with the Ministry of Defense and the military required the production and delivery of 100 sets of power armor within three years.

Chang Wei calculated this account.

He never expected that Obadiah not only acted on his own, but also had already signed the crucial contract.

“They need to ensure that they can obtain this batch of equipment as soon as possible to enhance their own strength, and they also need to avoid overly occupying funds due to ordering too much at one time. More importantly, they also need to reserve space for possible new technologies. After all, Ares Industry, as the industry leader, will always have new breakthroughs every few years, and they don’t want the equipment to become obsolete as soon as they buy it.”

Chang Wei made the decision that although orders from the military and the Ministry of Defense were equally important, in comparison, SHIELD's orders were not only more profitable, but could also be converted into the company's cash flow faster, which was important for improving the company's overall Operational efficiency and market competitiveness play an immeasurable role.

There was unconcealable anger in Tony's voice, and he tapped his fingers lightly on the table, each tap seeming to emphasize his dissatisfaction.

Obadiah's face instantly turned gloomy, and a trace of shock flashed in his eyes, followed by deep confusion and anger.

"What did you say? No power armor? So what were those I saw with my own eyes?"

he questioned, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.

Tony took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

"What you see is not a powered armor at all. It is just a prototype that I put together temporarily to deal with emergencies. It is not suitable for mass production at all, let alone sold to the Ministry of National Defense."
