Chapter 818: A Serious Person Talking About Serious Things In a Serious Place

So, according to Daddy System, a certain super-rich genius scientist was worth the same as two criminals?

Or was it because a certain tycoon was too diligent in selling weapons that even Daddy System didn’t like him?

Thankfully, Luke hadn’t saved Tony for the experience and credit points. Otherwise, he would’ve been depressed for half a day.

An hour after he left the valley, two helicopters flew over and landed on the ground.

Happy rushed into the cave with a bunch of fully armed bodyguards bearing the Stark Industries logo. They quickly carried the tycoon and Yinsen out, boarded the helicopters, and left.

The handmade Mark 0 was also taken away.

Only twenty bodyguards were left behind in the valley to wait for the investigators to arrive.

Luke nodded in satisfaction and left.

A day later, he returned to Los Angeles.

Looking around the quiet house, he suddenly felt unused to it.

Selina was still on vacation in Shackelford, and wasn’t around to say, “You’re back.”

The dog head had gone back to play with her, and wasn’t around to shake its head or tail.

It was easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but it was hard to go from extravagant to frugal! He sighed.

Looking at the sun outside the window, he actually didn’t feel like working overtime.

He found a pile of snacks and pushed them into the backyard on a small cart. He then turned on the spa and stretched comfortably inside as he looked at the sky in a daze.

After enjoying himself in the spa for an hour, Luke put on his clothes and returned inside.

He turned on his tablet and listened to L.A. news as he made dinner for himself.

It was still quiet. There was no news on Tony Stark.

The tycoon should still be recuperating now, and hadn’t made an appearance yet.

Or maybe it was because he hadn’t showered for half a month, and this salted fish wanted to immerse himself in a bath?

Although Luke’s armor had an oxygen supply system, it would still allow outside air to enter when there was no danger, which also let him make use of Sharp Nose.

When he rescued Tony, he had to keep a firm lid on Sharp Nose so that it didn’t come into contact with any part of this living salted fish and suffocate him.

Even as he roasted the tycoon again in his heart, a faint thought popped into his head, but after a moment, he couldn’t remember what it was.

It definitely had something to do with Tony, but it wasn’t particularly important, which was why he couldn’t recall it. After pondering for a moment, Luke started muttering to himself.

“Tony, Tony Stark, Stark... Stark Industries?” Reciting the keywords, he suddenly remembered something.

Rummaging through his memories of his previous life, Luke pondered for a moment before he called Jenny.

Jenny was in Los Angeles, but she wasn’t home. She was at the phone company’s office building.

Recently, she had either been running around outside or working at the company.

She had a special lounge in her office, which was where she had been sleeping for the past few days.

Luke changed his clothes and drove straight to the office building.

As a new company that had just been established and which had been tight on funds, Titanium Phone Company had only rented an old five-story building in an ordinary neighborhood as a temporary office.

Jenny had already discussed the company’s future development with Luke, and didn’t plan to be too ostentatious here.

Instead, she was already looking for a suitable building in Nassau County, New York for Titanium Phone Company’s HQ.

They could slowly set up a branch in Los Angeles in the future; there was no rush.

Under the attentive gazes of Jenny’s personal bodyguards, Luke swiped his card for the elevator and went upstairs.

The two bodyguards finally looked away.

They were a little more familiar with this mysterious man who never showed his face.

President Jenny would call them beforehand every time this person showed up.

Coupled with the special identification card, the mysterious man could enter the elevator without being questioned.

Luke was only doing this because he didn’t want to be in the news.

historical

For example, if the IRS really used legal means to forcefully obtain information, they would still be able to find traces of Luke in the phone company.

But as long as the cell phone company paid its taxes, the IRS didn’t have that much free time on their hands.

Taking the elevator to the fifth floor, Luke swiped his card for entry again. After closing the door, he removed his hat, sunglasses and mask.

A door not far away opened, and Jenny walked out in light blue silk pajamas. She looked exhausted, but also excited. “You came at the right time. I was about to tell you about recent developments with the company.”

Luke picked her up with a smile. “There’s no need to rush. Let’s go somewhere more comfortable.”

Jenny hurriedly pushed at his chest with both hands. “No, we’re talking business.”

Without stopping, Luke said, “Secretary Jenny, what are you thinking?”

A moment later, Jenny lay on the bed with an astonished expression. “So serious today?”

At that moment, their clothes were still basically intact. They were just lying in bed and chatting.

Luke said, “You’ve been very tired recently. That’s all for now.”

Jenny nodded in satisfaction, wrapped her hands around Luke’s waist, and started talking about the phone company.

Ten days had passed since their last meeting, and Titanium phone sales were booming.

The only thing which limited the sales was the supply.

In fact, after asking for Luke’s opinion, Jenny had increased supply significantly.

She had inherited her parents’ business sense, however, and it wasn’t for nothing.

Before increasing the supply of Titanium phones, she had carried out a detailed investigation.

After analyzing the situation many times, she only increased supply to 200,000 phones in September. Only after she checked the situation again after October would she increase supply to 300 to 500,000 units in October.

Thus, Luke’s hunger marketing strategy wasn’t abandoned.

By ensuring that the supply of Titanium phones on the market still had yet to meet demand, Jenny successfully increased profits for the cell phone company and made the phone even more popular.

The benefit of this was that more professionals were now optimistic about the future of Titanium Phone Company, and the company’s worth skyrocketed once again.

Hearing Jenny say that the phone company was valued at ten billion dollars by some newspapers, Luke was a little stunned. “Are you kidding me? I remember that it was only two or three billion dollars a few days ago. Are these guys using yen?”

Jenny hit him with a smile. “It’s just some random flattery in the newspapers and the numbers are a little exaggerated. But everyone’s not stupid. If this trend continues, we might cause a reshuffle in the phone industry, and Titanium Phone Company will become the new leader. Well, at least one of them.”

She chuckled. “Of course, they’re still underestimating the cell phone company. If they knew that our company doesn’t make money just by selling phones, their valuation would probably increase again several times over.”
