Marvel Immortals in Asgard

This salute was indeed very effective. It completely confused Stark and his party. They were a little confused and didn't know what was going on. You must know that this kind of etiquette was only used to salute great nobles in ancient times. You said that in a society like the United States where there is no so-called aristocracy, how incredible would they find it?

After all, even if you are a billionaire, you are still just a commoner. Maybe you can let others perform such an effect, but it is just an act. Now this is a serious salute to the eldest princess of Asgard, and it comes from the heart. of. Of course, Howard is also acting now. After all, he usually doesn't show much courtesy at home.

After saluting, Howard said: "Yes, Your Highness Hela, Mr. Carl invested 30 million US dollars in Howard Stark in 1939 when Stark Industries was first established, accounting for half of Stark Industries' He holds 70% of Stark Industries’ shares, and currently, he still holds 35% of Stark Industries’ shares.”

Upon hearing this, Hela looked at Karl suspiciously, and then continued to ask: "Why are there so few now?"

Seeing that Hela didn't understand, Howard quickly explained: "Your Highness, this share quota is already quite large. Howard Stark himself only owns 25% of Stark Industries. He can control it." Stark Industries depends entirely on our support, otherwise his words in Stark Industries will not be effective."

Hela heard this and then asked: "Didn't you say it was 70% in the beginning? Why is it only this little now?"

Howard explained: "The reason why it is only 35% now is because during the operation of Stark Industries, 40% of the stock was sold. In order to ensure that Howard's share in Stark Industries Of the shares held by Ke Industrial, 35% of the shares were sold from us."

Hella actually didn’t know much about the shares, and then asked: "In other words, we can’t control Stark Industries, right? It’s only 35% of the shares, and absolute control is estimated to be 60-70% Bar."

Howard hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, that's not the case. Although our shares have been sold, the voting rights of most of the stocks are still in our hands. Well, according to the agreement, we still hold 100% of Stark Industries." 52.5 voting rights, which were previously held by Howard."

"But after Howard retired, these voting rights came back to us. With these voting rights and our connections, if you really have an idea, in Stark Industries, we still have a way to pass it."

Howard is also a chicken thief. He did not say that Howard was dead, only that he had retired. After all, he was a little scared to say that he was dead in front of the goddess of death. What if Hela fulfilled his wish? Then he is really dead.

Hela heard this and said: "In other words, Stark Industries has the final say, right?"

Howard said: "Yes, Your Highness, with our shares in Stark Industries, we have the final say."

Hearing this, Tony immediately felt bad. He had been saying for a long time that Stark Industries no longer belonged to him, Tony Stark. Today, this was a direct blow to the iron plate. At this time, he said in disbelief: "What did you say? How is this possible? How can you have 52.5% voting rights?"

Howard said: "Of course we have 52.5% of the voting rights, but we did not use this voting rights. After all, we lent this voting rights to Howard, and you did not inherit this."

"We used to give this voting right to you by default just because there was no need to interfere with Stark Industries. But looking at your current situation, maybe we need to consider the ownership of this voting right."

After hearing what Howard said, Tony got a little annoyed. This was challenging his bottom line again and again. But before he could fight back, Karl said directly: "It's not just about the shares and voting rights. Howard owes us." It’s a lot of money, and since we invested in Howard, we haven’t received any dividends from our shares.”

"Not only the share dividends, but also our stock transfer funds, we didn't get a penny. They were all directly lent to Howard Stark for research. If you calculate it, you owe us a lot of money. .”

"Well, let me think about it, if you calculate it, there are still tens of billions of dollars. After all, it has been seventy years since the establishment of Stark Industries. Over the years, we have not taken away a single dividend. Plus The total amount of 35% of the share transfer funds is really quite a lot, probably no less than 50 billion."

Karl really didn't know the exact amount, so he roughly guessed a number. He only vaguely remembered that Tony was worth more than 10 billion U.S. dollars at this time. And when he took over Stark Industries after Howard retired, he paid a large sum of inheritance tax. You must know that the inheritance tax rate in the United States is extremely high, 55%.

Of course, this is set for wealthy people like Howard, who have too many assets. Without that tax, Tony's current net worth would have at least doubled to nearly 30 billion.

It is conceivable that Carl, as the major shareholder, gave Howard how much money he spent on research. Of course, many of Howard's researches have become Asgard's heritage, or he, Carl's heritage. But it's okay to say that the money was lent to Howard. After all, Howard currently owns the property in Asgard, and Carl no longer has a share in it.

When building this factory, Carl produced a lot of things, including land, equipment, factories, energy, etc., but none of them asked for Howard's money, so in real terms, Howard owed more.

Now Howard has a small amount of assets in Asgard. He has a spaceship factory. The scale of this factory is not small now. I dare not say if there are more, there are still billions of space coins, so he really Take advantage.

Therefore, now that Carl is talking about this matter, Howard has no objection at all, but it is a pain for Tony. He originally promised to come here to show off, but after calculation, he directly owes tens of billions of dollars.

Looking at Tony who was in a daze, Hela was quite happy. This time the power was very effective. Hela stared at Tony and smiled: "Boy, do you understand? Kneel down now, I don't mind pardoning you." Debt."

Listening to Hela's words, Tony suddenly seemed to have figured out something, and sneered: "This must be a lie. From the establishment of Stark Industries to now, if calculated based on your shareholding ratio, you are at least Fifty to sixty billion US dollars will be taken away, and if you include the cost of share transfer, it will be almost 100 billion US dollars."

"Do you know how much that is? Who do you think you are? Do you think I'm a fool? Who wouldn't want those dividends? So who are you? How dare you lie to me, still in the United States, in front of Stark Tower, You must know that no one in the United States dares to lie to me, I will remember you, wait for my lawyer's letter, Pepper, let's go."

At this time, Tony was extremely angry. How could he, a playboy and rich second generation, be so angry? But seeing that Tony was leaving, how could Carl let him go? Then he smiled and said: "I didn't expect that the legendary genius would actually care about a mere hundred billion US dollars. Sylvia, do you know who would care about a hundred billion US dollars?"

Sylvia was also an actor, and she watched the fun happily, and asked with a smile: "Karl, who is he?"

Carl looked at Tony, his eyes full of amusement, and then Carl's answer came to Tony's ears. The answer was so ironic that Tony couldn't believe his ears, and he heard Carl say: "Poor people .”

Sure enough, Carl's answer made Tony immediately angry. Although he was rich, he was not someone who could tell a mere hundred billion dollars. Especially Carl's answer that he was a poor man deeply hurt him. Just listen to him. He said with a sneer: "Haha, do you know what you are talking about? Boy, have you ever seen five million U.S. dollars? Who would lend hundreds of billions of U.S. dollars to others for seventy years? And I’ve never asked for it.”

In fact, there is a reason why Carl does not want the money earned by Stark Industries. The cause and effect is a bit big for Carl. Stark Industries' customers are mainly the U.S. military, countries friendly to the United States, and some armed organizations, including Hydra, and these people all have one characteristic, which is to bully good people.

If Karl took the money, wouldn't he become an accomplice of these people? So in order not to be involved in this cause and effect, Carl never took a penny from Stark Industries, and also invested 30 million US dollars. There is no way, it is not easy to accumulate some merit, but we cannot let the United States give it away, so it is really difficult to get the money.

But how could this be said to Tony? After all, they all think differently. But seeing Tony's furious look, Karl burst out laughing, thought for a moment and said, "Little Smith, come here."

As soon as Karl finished speaking, a little old man ran over. To be honest, it felt a bit inconsistent at this time. There was nothing I could do about it. Little Smith was over eighty years old, but he was still in good health now. Supported by heart-shaped grass, magic, and springs of life, living for a few more decades will feel like fun, but it's still a bit old.

After coming over, Little Smith saluted Carl and the other three and said, "Boss, what are your orders?"
