Marvel: The Superman Survival Guide

Chapter 63 New Investment

After Link finished speaking with Pepper Potts, he hung up the phone and then looked at Fisk and said, "Stark Industries will contact your company soon to conduct an investigation and evaluation. I will have the charitable foundation handle the investment in the foundation's name."

"That's great." Fisk was very happy. Link had cash in his hands, billions of dollars, enough to develop several plots of land at once. With the addition of the Rand Corporation and Stark Industries, the development would accelerate.

Link cautioned, "This is your chance, Fisk, but whether you can seize it depends on you. Many problems will arise, and you'll need to solve them perfectly."

"Especially the number of construction workers; we must not sacrifice future balance for the sake of rapid development."

Fisk thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand. I will have someone make reasonable plans so that it won't affect the future. The workers will have jobs."

Link's reminder was not without reason. After all, Fisk is now moving upwards, so it needs to prevent future troubles. If it is greedy for construction speed and hires a large number of workers, what will happen once it is completed?

Link added, "Locations near the docks aren't ideal for office buildings or luxury apartments, but lower-priced apartments could be considered."

"This is very important for your impression among the workers. Doesn't the RAND Corporation also have a dock?"

"I believe they also own a considerable amount of land. You can talk to them. Don't sacrifice long-term development for short-term gains. You need to consider this trade-off yourself."

"But the RAND Corporation and Stark Industries, and even myself, are not short-sighted."

"Understood. Let me toast you to express my gratitude." Fisk raised his glass and raised it to Link.

The atmosphere became more relaxed during dinner, and Link asked about the construction of the school and hospital. He even asked Vanessa if her gallery was located there.

After dinner, Link and Jessica said their goodbyes. Their car was outside, where McCall, the driver, was waiting.

With Link's change in status, it's no longer appropriate for him to drive himself to banquets and parties. Of course, he won't attend too many anyway, because it's unnecessary.

He wants to enjoy life, not be busy for money. The work at S.H.I.E.L.D. is interesting, and at the same time, he can learn about the movements of the Infinity Stones in the future. The Space Stone or the Mind Stone is what he needs.

Jessica was in charge of the specifics, and Link deposited most of the remaining funds into the charity foundation's account, which was named after Jessica.

The remaining living expenses are not much, but there are still more than 100 million US dollars. However, the specific investment funds still need to be evaluated. The United Construction Company can be said to be valuable now, but it can also be said to be not very valuable.

What they hold most is land, and they are severely lacking in development funds. Considering the current price of Hell's Kitchen, it's not much. If you calculate it that way, then Fisk will definitely lose a lot.

However, if prices are raised, it becomes difficult to calculate the exact price, because the property will naturally be valuable after development, but this requires investment, a large investment.

This matter ultimately requires negotiation; the price cannot be decided on a whim. It certainly cannot be the lowest price, nor the highest price.

Of course, bank loans are also an option, but that's even more unprofitable, which is why people prefer angel investors for their first round of financing!

Link handed over all authority to Jessica, but the specific investment amount and shareholding details were not issues that could be resolved in one go.

As for Danny Rand, Link had no intention of contacting him. Link needed to redefine his identity. He could participate in poker games, and he could maintain his circle of friends who pursued skill, but not the circle of money.

It's not appropriate for me to associate with those money-grubbing gamblers now; I need to move up to the upper echelons. But my identity isn't that of a professional gambler; I'm a shareholder of Stark Industries, and the topics of discussion are about investment.

Link's identity is different now. If he can't find his place, it will affect his intelligence gathering. He still needs to work for S.H.I.E.L.D.

Meanwhile, Tony Stark encountered a problem. He couldn't solve the palladium poisoning issue and could only use chlorophyll to neutralize it, but the effect was not good, and the poisoning was getting worse.

He handed over the CEO position to Pepper Potts, who was in charge of investing in United Construction, while Black Widow had also infiltrated Stark Industries.

……

"Lin, Mr. Stark is in trouble." Phil Coulson came to Link.

Link seemed taken aback for a moment, then asked, "What's the problem?"

"The poisoning, the energy he used, caused enormous damage to his body," Phil Coulson said. "And it seems he hasn't found a solution yet, and our researchers are trying to find one as well."

Link thought for a moment and said, "Then just stop him from using energy. Doesn't he have shrapnel in his heart?"

"With S.H.I.E.L.D.'s technology, is it impossible to retrieve it?"

"The biggest problem is that he won't listen to us," Coulson sighed. "You should know his personality."

"Personality is one thing, but life is another," Link said. "Surgery does carry risks, but don't you have the skills and expertise?"

"You could easily tell him that it's at least relatively safe, and the success rate of the surgery isn't low, right?"

Coulson said, "The chief wants you to speak with him."

"Okay!" Link nodded. "When do I go?"

"Wait a minute, I'll let you know when the time comes." Coulson came in a hurry, and he left just as quickly.

Link shook his head. These Marvel superheroes are all psychologically fragile. Maybe he could become a superhero psychologist?

That was a joke. Link continued searching for his place in the world. What kind of career should he pursue?

For a moment, he couldn't think of anything. He didn't want to be idle. After all, what was the point of lying at home every day?

The sun was shining brightly, but he didn't have to lie on the rooftop every day. He looked up at the transparent glass roof, where the sunlight streamed down, making him feel incredibly comfortable.

His own power is still growing, and he has not reached his limit. Although superpowers appear very quickly, the growth of his power has not stopped.

Perhaps I can learn it myself?

After all, he has a super brain, he can read very quickly, and his memory is outstanding, which can be used for rapid learning.
