Chapter 181 Visit to Pym Technologies
"Sir, we have acquired 37% of the shares through the foundation's subsidiaries, which are held by Roxxon Energy, Apollonius Armed Forces, and Unix Pharmaceuticals. The current shareholder shareholding ratio of Pym Technology is 20% for Hank Pym, 20% for Hope Pym, and 14% for Darren Kraus. The remaining 9% is in the hands of other long-term shareholders. They are optimistic about the future of Pym Technology and plan to hold it for a long time. Unless you personally come forward, it will be difficult to continue to acquire.
After hearing Killian's words, Dabai immediately started to report.
After all, since Killian first reported the stocks of Stark Group and Pym Technology, it has been secretly arranging the forces of various companies to start secretly acquiring them. In addition, the price they offered was indeed much higher than the market price, so it was very smooth.
And the rest is to prepare to hang on a tree .
People like this are basically not short of money, but short of many potential companies, and Pym Technology is obviously such a person.
Of course, Killian estimated that it would not be the case in two years.
Because according to Dabai's information, Pym Technology is now on the decline. Although the entire company is called a technology company, the sales of some high-end products are basically monopolized by Pioneer Technology.
Now, in addition to some basic things, they also have some orders from old customers, which keeps the company running.
Although the entire technology company has recently started to make toys and games with the help of Pioneer Technology's virtual reality network, it has gained a lot of breathing time, but as a genius who was once as famous as Howard Stark and worked in the same unit, it still seems very ordinary.
"Make an appointment with Dr. Hank Pym of Pym Technology. I want to visit him. As for the purpose of coming, just say it's to discuss cooperation! "
After hearing what Baymax said, Killian also looked at the scenery outside, and after thinking for a while, he spoke.
To be honest, he originally wanted to find Hank Pym's apprentice, Darren Krauss, but now there are still more than ten years from the timeline of the original plot of Ant-Man, and he is not sure that Darren Krauss can master the core technology of the Ant-Man armor.
After all, Darren Krauss in the original plot only began to usher in the success of the Wasp armor after the end of the Avengers War.
Although Darren Krauss's introduction in the middle has a long period of research and development, and Killian is not sure whether Darren has turned black under Hank Pym's constant denial.
So after considering various factors, Killian decided to talk to Hank Pym first.
Of course, the most important Still, Killian seriously suspected that there was something wrong with Darren's Pym particles. You know, in the movie, the Pym particles developed by Darren Krauss are yellow, while the Pym particles developed by Hank Pym are red.
Although he didn't know whether this was Marvel's way of distinguishing the relationship between the two protagonists, or whether it really meant that the two particles were actually different.
But this was a reality for Killian after all, so he had to consider it realistically.
After all, the same particles, logically speaking, should not have such a big difference in color, and from the plot, we know that Darren Krauss has never seen the real Pym particles, but only relied on some legends and some abandoned dusty design drawings forgotten by Hank Pym in the corner to start research, so it is impossible It can change red to yellow specifically for it.
On the other hand, as the first inventor, Hank Pym could not change the yellow Pym particles to red.
Then the only difference between the two colors is that Hank Pym's Pym particles can really enter the quantum field, or even go to a parallel universe.
Although the shrinking particles developed by Darren Krauss can restore the shrinking function of the Pym particles to a large extent, they cannot shrink stably and infinitely and then put themselves into the quantum field.
After all, in the plot of Ant-Man 3, Darren was strangely shrunk by chance because of the destruction of the Wasp suit, and then was involved in the quantum universe, and then the conqueror Kang who was exiled to the quantum field was injured and dying after entering the quantum field. Darren Cross in a state was transformed into a semi-mechanical life form, and Marvel has another famous villain - MODOK.
Of course, all this is just Killian's own guess. The real situation needs to be compared between the two.
Of course, for Killian, it would be better if there were complete Pym particles. After all, he doesn't need to make unnecessary comparisons.
Directly in one step.
And you have to know that in addition to the technological benefits brought by the Pym particles themselves, Killian is also very greedy for the Pym particles that can enter the quantum field. If he can take him to the quantum field at that time, feel the world and civilization there, and face the so-called Conqueror Kang and his time chair that can travel through the multiverse, he is also full of great interest.
After all, the key to the living time travel instrument and the multiverse is placed there, which is a huge temptation for every scientist.
Of course, these still need to meet Dr. Pym again, and Killian also has a way to let the other party hand over the technology of Pym particles to himself.
"Okay!"
After Baymax's reply, Killian took the elevator back to his office and began to check the documents reported by various bases.
"Sir, the appointment has been made."
"The appointment time is in two hours, and the location is in the Pym Technology Building."
It didn't take long for Baymax's message to reach Killian's ears.
"Really?! This is a good sign, help me arrange a car!"
"I'll have a good look at this legendary figure later."
After hearing Baymax's words, Killian, who was still working seriously, raised his eyebrows, and then said with a smile.
...
Two hours later
Pym Technology Building.
Killian came here with the bodyguard convoy.
After getting off the car, he saw a group of senior executives of Pym Technology, led by Hank Pym, standing at the door, looking at his convoy with a smile on their faces.
"Founder of Pym Technologies! Hank Pym!!"
"Chairman of Pioneer Technologies! Aldrich Killian!"
"Dr. Hank Pym, I've heard a lot about you! I've wanted to visit your Pym Technologies for a long time!"
After walking up to shake hands and introduce each other, Killian said with a smile on his face.
"Hahaha! Sir Killian is the one who really made me hear a lot about you. We suddenly received the news of your visit today, and we have been preparing for half a day in a hurry. Sir Killian, please don't mind if there are any omissions in the rush."
After hearing Killian's words, Hank Pym also said with a smile on his face.
After hearing the other party's words, Killian's impression of Dr. Pym in front of him also improved a little. In general, the whole person does not look like the rumors outside, with a weird personality and difficult to greet.
"Let me introduce you, this is my daughter Hope Pym!"
"Hello, Chairman Killian! I have long been looking forward to your company's development and great contributions in the field of cutting-edge technology!"
Afterwards, as Hank Pym introduced her, Hope Pym also walked up with an elegant smile, stretched out her hand and greeted Killian.
"Miss Hope, it's nice to meet you! I believe I can see the birth of another talented woman!"
After shaking hands with the other party, Killian also smiled and complimented.
"This is my favorite student, the current head of Pym Technology, Darren Krauss, who is a double-master student of MIT, with a doctorate in quantum physics and a degree in robotics engineering, and is also proficient in quantitative biochemistry, artificial intelligence and talent resource management."
"I have to say that with him, I have saved a lot of worries."
After introducing his daughter, Hank Pym also began to introduce his best apprentice with a smile, and his words were also full of pride.
It can be said that so far, Hank Pym has taken a fancy to Darren Kraus.
However, this can also explain why Darren Kraus, as a latecomer and an apprentice, was able to drive Hank Pym out of his own company later.
After all, if it were an outsider, he would not be able to do this.
Moreover, this person is very capable. He teamed up with someone else's daughter to drive the other party's father out of his company. If it were not for Darren Kraus's insistence on selling the Wasp Armor to the military, and Hope Pym firmly believed that selling it to the military would cause unrest in the world.
If the world's long-standing stability was broken and differences arose because of this sales channel, then Darren Kraus could be said to have ushered in the real results of his life.
Even relying on this alone, he could make the company as large as the Stark Group.
It's a pity that the protagonist's halo is too strong, and those people are too brainless.
Killian really couldn't understand how Hank Pym, Scott Lang and Hope had the nerve to sabotage other people's companies when they had invested more than ten years of time and energy to develop something on their own.
But perhaps this was the reason why Scott Lang was imprisoned in the later period. After all, even though he was a superhero, the government really couldn't find a legitimate excuse for Scott Lang.
It can only be said that if you have the protagonist's halo, you can do whatever you want.
For a moment, Killian looked at the big bald man in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.
By the way, will the bald men in Marvel have a bad ending?
This was the case with Obadiah before, and the same is true for Darren Krauss now, and the one who lives in the Himalayas next door...
At this moment, Killian only felt the strong malice of this universe towards the bald man.
"Hello, Mr. Killian! I am Darren Krause, a student of Mr. Hank. Your company's intelligent robot Baymax and the huge aircraft carrier have shocked the world!"
"It's hard to imagine that this is from your company, Mr. Killian. I thought it was an alien company."
After hearing his name being called, Darren stood up with a shiny bald head, and then looked at Killian with a smile and spoke.
I don't know why, when shaking hands, looking at Killian's eyes, he only felt a pity?
He felt sorry for himself the first time they met?
"Darren, right! You are very good and have a very good mentor!"
For a moment, Darren Krause couldn't help but feel that he had made a mistake, but when he came back to his senses and wanted to take a closer look, he already received Killian's normal gaze and reply.
"Very good! Mr. Kilian, please come with me!"
"I have already asked the secretary to prepare the conference room!"
After seeing that the greetings were almost complete, Hank Pym also took the initiative to stand up and say.
In response, Killian also nodded, and then followed directly after the warm invitations from Hank Pym, Hope and Darren.
"Oh my god, was that the chairman of Pioneer Technology just now??"
"Yes! I have always seen him on TV before. Last year he shook hands with the president. He was decorated. I heard that he is still an honorary major general in the military."
"Oh my God! Is he so powerful? In the military, he has become an honorary general, in politics, he has been awarded a presidential medal, and in the business world, he is the president of a trillion-dollar technology company. This is simply the template of a domineering president! No, Even the domineering president would not dare to write this! This is so awesome!”
As Killian, Hank Pym and others entered the elevator, and then as the elevator door closed, some Pym Technology staff members started talking quietly and in surprise.
After all, this is the living chairman of Pioneer Technology. Being able to see him in person will make them talk about him for a long time.
"Sir Kilian, coffee or milk tea?"
After arriving in the conference room on the top floor of Pym Technology, as the future CEO of Pym Technology and a student of Hank Pym, Darren Krause walked up to him and greeted him with a smile and respect. Killian asked.
You must know that the person in front of you is a legendary figure in the business world. He is even now a god-like existence. With his own efforts, he has not only promoted the development of the earth for decades, but also is a member of the five major members of the United World Security Council. The Earth Federation was established.
Even Alexander the Great, Europe's most legendary figure, pales in comparison to Kilian's qualifications and glorious achievements.
So it can be said that Darren Krause cares very much about serving Killian well.
After all, the current overall development of the company is not very good, or the high-end technology companies in various industries are not doing very well under the monopoly dominance of Pioneer Technology. Those companies either change industries, or they come to apply to become Pioneer Technology. A subsidiary of technology.
Other than that, everything else has basically gone bankrupt.
They were left to persevere here, and many times he also persuaded his teacher to bring out some dusty technologies. After all, we have caught up with the era of technological explosion. If they, Pim Technology, continue to be complacent.
It won't be long before it, like other companies, ends up going bankrupt.
And this time, if they can negotiate some cooperation with Kilian, chairman of Pioneer Technology, then even if they can't make money in the cooperation, with the name of Pioneer Technology, their company's stock price can be like a rocket. Soaring into the sky.
And nowadays, who doesn’t know that even pigs can fly into the sky as long as they rely on pioneering technology?
This is the case for some pioneer technology processing plants, with net profits of tens of billions a year, which is an unimaginable sky-high profit for the factory.
And now, if he can take good care of this rich man, and if the other party can negotiate some cooperation with their Pim Technology, then he will have more confidence in persuading his teacher to relent.
"Sprite! Add ice cubes! Thank you!"
Looking at Darren Krause in front of him, Killian smiled and said.
For Killian, he likes to drink cold drinks at any time, even when eating. But for things like coffee, he can't appreciate it at all. He doesn't know why it is so bitter. There can still be an audience.
"Okay! Come right away!"
After hearing Killian's words, Darren Krause was obviously a little confused. He realized that maybe the chairman of Pioneer Technology in front of him would ask for civet cat coffee, Santa Ynez Manor coffee, the most expensive high-end coffee in the world, or Romanée-Condivé, which ranks among the top ten most luxurious red wines in the world, or Petrus wine from Chateau Petrus, even these he has Everything has been arranged long ago.
But after he thought about it for a long time, he didn't expect that the CEO of a super technology company with a net worth of over 100 million yuan in front of him would actually drink Sprite that cost three yuan a bottle?
what is this? The unique little quirks of rich people?
However, after being stunned for a long time, as a highly educated person, he still tried his best to maintain a calm smile, and then after responding, he turned and walked outside.
As the door closed, he immediately hurriedly ordered his men to run downstairs to buy Sprite.
At this moment, for the first time, he felt deep self-doubt because his taste was too high-end.
Do the truly successful or wealthy people have to be as simple and unpretentious as Mr. Kilian?
"Hahaha, Lord Kilian's taste is really close to life!"
"It seems that you have a different experience."
Dr. Pym's attitude was not much better than Darren's. After hearing Killian's request, he was stunned for a while before speaking with a smile.
