Chapter 1368 Strategic Cooperation Agreement
Tony found an opportunity to have a private meeting with Chang Wei.

Sitting opposite him was Chang Wei, a Chinese man who was a little younger than him, but was already the founder and CEO of Ares Industries, a name that was well-known in both the business and military circles in America.

Tony's first impression of Chang Wei was complex and subtle.

This young Chinese man exudes an indescribable temperament, which combines the restraint and calmness of an Oriental person with the sharpness and decisiveness of a Western entrepreneur.

His eyes are deep, as if he can see into people's hearts, and there is a barely perceptible smile on the corner of his mouth, giving people a feeling of being hidden.

Tony thought to himself that a man who could rise in a white-dominated business empire and avoid the encirclement of the greedy financial tycoons and the military-industrial complex on Wall Street, his skills and wisdom should never be underestimated.

What surprised Tony even more was that Ares Industries was not only involved in the military industry, but also independently developed power armor. Even Tony had to admit the advanced nature of this technology.

This shows that the power behind him is beyond imagination, which is why Tony wants to cooperate with him.

"The new energy market is a blue ocean that has not yet been fully developed and has unlimited potential."

Tony no longer had the frivolity and unruliness of the past, and his words revealed an unprecedented seriousness.

"Stark Industries has always been committed to technological innovation, and Ares Industries is exactly what we need. I think the cooperation between us can lead the upcoming energy revolution."

Pepper looked at Tony in surprise, she could hardly believe her eyes.

In her memory, Tony was always that arrogant, frivolous guy, and offending people was almost a common occurrence for him.

And now, he was actually discussing cooperation so seriously with a young Chinese man who looked much younger than him. It was like a miracle that fell from the sky.

Chang Wei gently shook the brandy in his hand. It was a collection-grade wine that Tony specially prepared for him. It came from the Napoleonic era, and every drop of it contained the sediment of history.

He smiled, his eyes revealing a calmness and confidence beyond his age. "The new energy market is indeed attractive, but Stark Industries and Ares Industries, one is famous for high-tech equipment, and the other is emerging in the new energy field, so there is no direct intersection between them."

“Intersections can always be created.”

Tony smiled, a sly gleam in his eyes.

"Rockefeller and his people are greedy and short-sighted. They always want more than you can give. Cooperating with them is like seeking the skin of a tiger. As for Ares Industries, you, Chang Wei, are the only one who can understand my vision and have the ability to realize it."

He is well aware of the greed of the Wall Street tycoons and the military-industrial complex. They will never be satisfied and will only demand endlessly.

And Tony needs a partner who can fight alongside him, not a group of vampires who will only hold him back.

Chang Wei took a sip of wine and raised a playful smile. "So, Mr. Tony, what do you mean by cooperation?"

"Half of the U.S. market share. No, more than that. Half of Stark Industries' share of the new energy market in the five major countries and even the world will be yours."

Tony's first move was a powerful one.

As soon as these words came out, the whole room seemed to be shrouded by an invisible force, and even the air became heavy.

Pepper's eyes widened. Half?
This is an astronomical figure! She couldn't imagine Tony sharing his market share so generously. It was like cutting his flesh for him.

She looked at Tony and seemed to see a completely unfamiliar boss, a leader who was willing to give up some control for the sake of the overall situation.

"So generous? The additional conditions must be quite high."

Chang Wei remained calm and composed under Tony's locked gaze. Even the brandy in the glass did not tremble. It was as if this was destined to be an astronomical figure, and the money rolling in like a money printing machine was like floating clouds to him.

"I need shares in Ares Industries, shares with voting rights and decision-making power, at least the same as your shares in Stark Industries. In this way, we will not only be partners, but also shareholders of each other, with a community of interests."

Pepper was even more surprised.

You know, although Ares Industries has developed rapidly, it has not yet been listed, and its equity structure has always remained highly closed.

It is like a solid fortress, making it difficult for outsiders to peek into its inner workings, let alone acquire shares that have substantial influence.

However, Tony's proposal was not aimless. Once the two sides reached a cooperation, they would occupy an absolute dominant position in the new energy market, which would bring unprecedented development opportunities to Ares Industry.

Chang Wei smiled slightly, as if weighing the pros and cons.

"Mr. Stark, you are asking for too much. However, I appreciate your directness and honesty. Let me think about it. We need to have some internal discussions. After all, this is not a trivial matter."

Tony nodded. He understood Chang Wei's concerns. "Of course, I won't force it. But what I want to say is that the cooperation between Ares Industries and Stark Industries will be a win-win situation. After all, the new energy market is too big a cake for any of us to eat up. Cooperation is the way to win-win."

"We have complementary technologies and resources. Once we join forces, we will be invincible. Moreover, I believe that your plans for the future are far more than this."

Chang Wei knew that according to the original plot, Tony's pride would naturally not allow him to cooperate with others, nor would he be used to cooperating with others.

But who can blame the appearance of the Hydra White Skull?

If it was just Nazi Hydra, Tony might not have been under so much pressure, his Iron Man suit was enough to handle everything.

However, the Hydra White Skull is an immortal devil warrior!
God knows how many devil warriors Hydra has created. Their existence poses an unprecedented challenge to the existing world order.

Tony felt the urgent pressure, so he sought cooperation, and the ones who could cooperate with him were naturally not the military or any intelligence agencies that he thought might have been infiltrated.

On the contrary, he is a genius who comes from a wild background and is equally talented.

Use power armor and iron suit to fight Hydra!

And Tony was actually testing Chang Wei just now, including proposing half of the new energy market share in the United States and even the world. What satisfied him was that Chang Wei behaved very calmly and rationally throughout the whole process and was unmoved.

This shows that he is not a pure businessman or capitalist who puts profit above all else.
