After the trading parties left, Ivan Vanko looked at the surrounding situation and left very low-key with his head down.

on the way home.

Ivan Vanko first went to the pharmacy to buy some medicine, then went to the supermarket to buy some vegetables and meat, and finally, after hesitating for a while, he went to the liquor store to buy two bottles of vodka.

His father didn't have any special hobbies, he just liked drinking, he was a complete alcoholic, or in other words, there was no polar bear that wasn't an alcoholic, but his father's illness was also very serious, drinking might make it worse...

But, the father and son have been in trouble for a long time. Today they finally completed a deal with the gang and got some money. They had to make them happy and have a good meal first.

Ivan Vanko came to the door of his home with a smile on his face, carrying a full bag of goods. But when he looked at his house which was so close, he suddenly frowned, sensing an unusual atmosphere.

It's so quiet.

In order to survive, Ivan Vanko colluded with the gangsters, and there were times when he was sought for revenge.

He carefully put down the things in his hands and pulled out a shotgun from his thick leather jacket.

Ivan Vanko kicked open the door of his house with a bang, and holding the shotgun with the safety on, he looked around for the enemy.

After opening the door, he saw a young man who was obviously the son of a wealthy family, curiously examining his various experimental instruments.

Although Ivan Vanko and his family lived in poor conditions, this tiny dwelling was filled with various scientific instruments.

It’s not as advanced as the ones from Stark Group, but it’s still usable.

"Who are you? Why did you show up in my house uninvited?"

Ivan Vanko shouted loudly and pointed the gun at Bai Ye.

A hand suddenly grabbed the barrel of Ivan Vanko's gun. Qiu Gangao exerted a little force, and the high temperature like magma instantly burned Ivan Vanko's gun red.

Ivan Vanko was startled, but reflexively dropped the gun, which was burning hot and almost turned into molten iron.

"Please don't misunderstand me, Dr. Ivan Vanko, I mean no harm."

Bai Ye smiled slightly.

"No ill intentions... Haha!" Ivan Vanko sneered, glanced at his father Anthony Vanko who was lying on the bed, and said, "Who are you? What do you want? I will agree to everything I can, as long as you don't hurt my father."

"I've already said it, don't get me wrong, I'm not the kind of gangster who kidnapped your father and wants you to help me do something." Bai Ye said, took out a tube of red reagent, and said, "Let me show you my sincerity first."

He walked towards Anthony Vanco.

"What do you want to do with my father?"

Ivan Vanko's face turned pale with rage, and he immediately wanted to step forward to stop Bai Ye's actions.

But he was locked by Qiu Gangao and couldn't move at all.

"No! If you have any tricks, use them on me! My father's organs are failing, and if you continue to mess around, you'll kill him!"

Ivan Vanko shouted anxiously.

But Bai Ye didn't listen at all. He directly stabbed the needle of the test tube into Anthony Vanco's neck and injected the medicine in the test tube into him.

Only about ten seconds passed.

Anthony Vanco coughed twice and woke up from his coma. He immediately noticed the changes in his body and looked confused: "Why don't I feel any pain?"

Before, Anthony Vanco suffered from organ failure and was in pain all over his body. He never had a comfortable day. He drank vodka, and it was thought that drinking too much vodka could paralyze his nerves and relieve his pain.

"What was just injected into Mr. Anthony Vanke was not poison, but a special medicine from the Osborne Group that only exists in the laboratory. It can effectively relieve Mr. Anthony Vanke's pain."

Bai Ye smiled faintly and said:

"Of course, there is no cure, but with regular injections, Mr. Anthony Vanco's life can be extended by at least three years. Well, it may sound small, but without effective treatment, Mr. Anthony Vanco only has three months left to live."

"There is such a drug?" Ivan Vanko's eyes lit up instantly. "Why have I never heard of it? I have hacked into the databases of major pharmaceutical companies around the world, including the Osborne Group, but have never found any similar drugs."

"Because the most valuable things of major pharmaceutical companies are not available to ordinary people."

Bai Ye shrugged:

"Of course you won't find anything."

"Can this medicine really save my father?" Ivan Vanko said calmly, "What price do I have to pay?"

Bai Ye glanced at the house. It was built of cracked, aged, blackened concrete. It was extremely shabby, with steel and wood thrown around randomly. There was no good furniture, only two tattered beds, and no other daily necessities. The only source of light in the room was a shabby old TV.

Taking it all in, Bai Ye turned around and said with a smile:

"This special medicine costs $100 million per tube, and it must be injected regularly once a month. Mr. Ivan Vanko, can you afford it?"

Ivan Vanko was silent.

Not to mention $100 million a month, even if he earns a total of $100 million in his entire life, it might not be even $ million.

"But since you put this medicine in front of me, it means you are willing to provide it to me, right?" Ivan Vanko was silent for a moment, then said, "What do you want me to do to save my father? As long as you can tell me, I can definitely do it."

"Dr. Anthony Vanko, one of the inventors of the Ark Reactor. In fact, your father's contribution to the Ark Reactor even surpassed Howard Stark's. However, for some unknown reasons, your father was charged with espionage by Howard Stark and expelled from the United States. After returning to his country, because the Soviet government did not value scientists in the field of energy, he was left with no place to work and was exiled to Siberia until today. As a result, you, a genius son with intelligence no less than Tony Stark, were also bound by your original family and fell into the situation of hanging out with gangsters to earn a living."

White Night opens with a straight to the point:

"I came to you for nothing else but the Ark Reactor!"

Anthony Vanco was still a little confused when he woke up, but when he heard the word "Ark Reactor", his face changed color: "No way! The Ark Reactor is my hard work! I will never give it to an outsider!"

"Mr. Anthony Vanco, I have seen countless sons who betray their fathers, but it is rare to see a father who betrays his sons."

Bai Ye said speechlessly:

"Don't you feel sorry for your son? He is about the same age as Tony Stark, but Tony Stark has had a privileged life since he was a child. He has been well-dressed, well-fed, and has received the best education. He graduated from MIT and took over a military-industrial empire worth $3000 billion at a young age. He has become a world-famous scientist. Every day when he wakes up, he is surrounded by different beauties. He has slept with almost all the girls on the cover of Playboy magazine."

"And your son, Ivan Vanko, while Tony Stark was enjoying all this, he could only live with you, an old man, in a cold doghouse and could only listen to your teachings. Do you think you alone can educate people better than MIT, the second most famous school in the world? And your son is already old, but he still hasn't married. Is it because he doesn't like her? Or do you want your son to live out his life alone?"

"So far, compared to Tony Stark, your son is like an inconspicuous stone on the roadside. But in fact, your son's talent is no worse than Tony Stark's. He just lacks an opportunity, an opportunity that can make him soar to the sky. And I can give him the opportunity to change all this. He can have his own luxury villa, his own yacht, and party with a bunch of bikini girls every night. Everything that Tony Stark has, your son can have! All of this, as long as you nod, I can offer it to you with both hands!"

"Dad, you don't need to say more! Your illness is the most important! Anyway, we have held the technology of the Ark Reactor for so many years, but we can't make a penny. We still live like stray dogs! Even if we can research it out, without the support of big capital, there is no way to cash it out. If I can use this to save you, then it will be worth the years of hard work our father and son have invested in it." Ivan Vanko is a filial son. He is not moved by what Bai Ye said. However, Bai Ye can treat his father, which is enough for Ivan Vanko to compromise. He looked at Bai Ye: "I promise you, as long as you can cure my father, then the technology of the Ark Reactor can be handed over to you."

Chapter 135 I'm sorry Bruce, I've fallen!

Chapter 135 I'm sorry Bruce...I've fallen!

"good."

A smile appeared on Bai Ye's lips, and the Ark reactor technology was finally obtained.

It is really easy to control Ivan Vanko. As long as he still wants to save his father, he must compromise with Bai Ye.

Anthony Vanco stammered a few times, but ultimately did not say what was on the tip of his tongue.

In addition to the fact that he himself felt that he owed Ivan Vanko, Ivan Vanko had already mastered the technology of the Ark Reactor, and his opposition could not change the outcome of the matter. This son was a typical polar bear, a born stubborn person. He respected and loved his father, but it was impossible for him to do everything his father said.

"Okay, pack up and get ready to leave." Bai Ye said with a smile, "My private plane is waiting for you at the airport. We can leave at any time."

"Is my father's current condition suitable for long-distance flights?"

Ivan Vanko asked.

"Of course there's no problem." Bai Ye said, "In addition to the medicine he was injected with, there is also a professional medical team on the plane, so he will be fine."

Ivan Vanko nodded, said nothing more, and hurried to pack his things.

Although there are not many daily necessities in their home, there are actually some valuable precision instruments.

I don’t know what’s wrong with the father and son’s brains. They have the money to buy these sophisticated instruments, but they don’t even know how to buy more daily necessities to improve their living conditions. I can only say that most of the people who engage in science are crazy!

"what?"

Bai Ye discovered that one wall was covered with various photos of Tony Stark. Perhaps Anthony Vanko specially selected opponents for Ivan Vanko in order to arouse his fighting spirit and inspire his fighting spirit?

Tsk tsk, if Tony knew that there was a person like Ivan Vanko who had to look at his photo every day to fall asleep, I don’t know what he would feel. It’s probably inevitable that his anus would tighten!

After Ivan Vanko and Anthony Vanko finished packing their things, Bai Ye took the two of them back to New York on a private plane.

"This company is called Venus Energy, with a registered capital of 50 billion US dollars. It is an energy company specially opened for you and your son." Bai Ye took Ivan Vanko and his son to walk around the energy laboratory and said, "Before I left New York to go to Siberia to find you, this company had already purchased a large number of high-precision instruments needed to develop the Ark Reactor. You can use them at will."

Well, this 50 billion US dollars is the money that Bai Ye extorted from Obadi. Bai Ye then used it to set up his own energy company to prepare for future competition with Stark Group.

【Thanks to my friend Obadi for the tip. 】

Ivan Vanko had obviously never seen such a luxurious laboratory before. He was stunned for a moment and touched everything around curiously.

Anthony Vanco was much more experienced. Looking at this luxurious laboratory, a look of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.

"Mr. Ivan Vanko, let me tell you the unpleasant truth. The Ark Reactor technology you have may be outdated." Bai Ye sat down on the office chair like a gentleman, crossed his hands, and said, "I don't know if you have received the news, but Tony Stark has invented and manufactured the second-generation Ark Reactor, which releases more energy, has higher power, and is safer and more stable. You may need to catch up a little."

The first generation Ark Reactor is the original industrial version of the Ark Reactor in the Stark Industrial Park. It is just a semi-finished product. The energy released is not enough. It is not much different from the nuclear power plants that are common in the world today. It is even slightly weaker. Therefore, it has no commercial value. It is just manufactured as a big toy of the Stark Group. The "nuclear fusion gimmick" is a good thing for a technology company to increase its stock price.

The second-generation Ark reactor made by Tony is the real "cold nuclear fusion". The energy released has increased by at least dozens of times, with higher technical level and more perfect design, so the stability and safety are also higher. Therefore, the emergence of the second-generation Ark reactor can bring about another technological revolution in the Marvel world, because the Ark reactor can be used as a power source for aircraft, robots and other equipment, allowing humans to climb to a higher level of the technology tree.

"Of course I know that." Ivan Vanko said, "Mr. Tony Stark, the world's richest man and playboy, has been kidnapped in Afghanistan and returned. How many people in the world don't know this news? Don't worry, I already have a mature idea for developing the second-generation Ark Reactor. It was only because of limited conditions that I didn't manufacture it in the past. Now that we have all kinds of precision instruments from this company, give me two months and I will put the second-generation Ark Reactor in front of you."

Bai Ye thought about it and felt the same way. Even without his help, Ivan Vanko would be able to hammer out a second-generation Ark reactor in his shabby house in two or three months. Now, with the support of Bai Ye's huge capital, it would definitely be easier. Maybe it could be done in less than a month.

Anyway, Tony built a second-generation Ark reactor with a hammer in a cave in Afghanistan in just a week or two.

"OK, Mr. Ivan Vanko, just be aware of this." Bai Ye snapped his fingers and asked Tian Yangsheng to deliver a document to Ivan Vanko. He continued, "Sign this contract, and you, Mr. Ivan Vanko, will be the Chief Technology Officer and the second largest shareholder of Venus Energy. You will own 10% of the company's shares, and your base salary will be $200 million per month, plus various bonuses and benefits, which are enough for you to buy treatment drugs for your father, Mr. Anthony Vanko, every month."

A monthly salary of 200 million US dollars sounds like a lot, but it is actually just that. An annual income of only 2400 million US dollars, while Apple's Cook's annual income reaches 1 million US dollars.

Compared with a super talent like Ivan Vanko who can create a cold nuclear fusion reactor, what does Cook's expertise in supply chain management matter?

Ivan Vanko is totally worth the price.

"10% of the shares?" Ivan Vanke smiled and took a look at the document. "I remember you said that the registered capital of this company is 50 billion US dollars. I haven't made any achievements yet, but you gave me 5 million US dollars? How generous!"

"I have always been generous to talents. Let's make money together and cooperate to enjoy the pleasure of life together! As long as Mr. Ivan Vanko develops the second-generation Ark reactor, don't think that I stole your things and want to kill me instead." Bai Ye sighed and said, "Our family has suffered too much in this regard. In the past, Osborne had a biological scientist named Richard Parker, who used the biological enhanced serum developed by our family with an investment of several billion US dollars, but when the research and development was successful, he stole the technology and wanted to escape, and ended up in a plane crash; there was also a biological engineer named Killian. I personally invested more than 20 billion US dollars and developed a virus-enhanced serum, but he also thought that it was made by himself, and ran away with the technology, wanting to cooperate with my opponent, but was stuffed into the incinerator. Ivan Vanko, I don't want this to happen between us."

"As long as you can save my father, I don't mind if you take everything from me. But if you dare to lie to me, don't blame me for biting you in the back."

Ivan Vanko also spoke frankly and clearly.

Bai Ye nodded. This is a truly filial son. Polar bears do indeed value family relationships, love to live in groups, have strong loyalty to friends, have no clear concept of right and wrong, eat big chunks of meat and drink big bowls of wine, speak crudely and have no culture, but are generous and brave, have a hot temper and are full of courage, very similar to the so-called Liangshan heroes. They may be cruel and vicious to strangers, but are as warm as spring to their families.

"Please rest assured. Mr. Anthony Vanke will receive comprehensive treatment from the Osborne Group. The level of medical resources he will receive will be higher than mine. I dare not say that he can be completely cured, but extending his life by three years is not a difficult task." Bai Ye said, "Perhaps with further breakthroughs in biotechnology in the future, his life span can be further extended."

Ivan Vanko was also satisfied, because Anthony Vanko's previous condition was already extremely bad, and he was ready to lose his father at any time. Now that he could extend his life for three years, it was already a blessing. He couldn't force Osborn to do something that current biotechnology couldn't do at all?

The deal is done.

Next, Ivan Vanko quickly got into the state and started working, operating the instruments in the laboratory and began to research and develop the second-generation Ark reactor.

Anthony Vanko, who was injected with special medicine and temporarily got rid of his illness, was discussing with Ivan Vanko, while Bai Ye was watching curiously.

With Bai Ye's super brain, he can perfectly replicate any experimental process he has seen in its entirety. If he can master the technology of the Ark reactor himself, he will definitely remember it in his mind.

In this way, even if Ivan Vanko causes any trouble in the future, he will be able to take responsibility himself.

After watching for a long time, Bai Ye felt that, how to say it, Ivan Vanko's talent was indeed inferior to Tony's. If Tony was an S+ level scientist, then Ivan Vanko should be an S- level scientist, because Ivan Vanko was not only inferior to Tony in the research of the Ark Reactor, but his talent was also focused on the Ark Reactor and mechanical manufacturing. Unlike Tony who was a jack of all trades, Tony could handle any technological direction.

From now on, Ivan Vanko's nickname can be "Little Tony".

Anthony Vanko has a good IQ and is almost an S-level scientist. After all, he is someone who can work with Howard Stark to research the Ark Reactor, so he is naturally no ordinary person.

But Bai Ye felt that it was simply unbelievable that he was living such a miserable life.

After chatting with Anthony Vanco, Bai Ye roughly knew why. That was because the first-generation version of the Ark Reactor was not that awesome. Compared with the nuclear fission power stations commonly studied in the world, the energy and power released were slightly inferior. That was why Anthony Vanco was expelled by Howard Stark instead of being killed directly. Bai Ye thought that it was because Howard Stark discovered a new element proton arrangement for synthesizing the fourth-generation Ark Reactor through studying the Cosmic Cube and combining it with the Ark Reactor technology. That was the allotrope of the Cosmic Cube. This kind of Ark Reactor was too terrifying, so he didn't dare let Anthony Vanco continue to study it in depth.

Because the energy released by the fourth-generation Ark Reactor TP-4 is 1000 times that of the third-generation Ark Reactor with palladium element plug as the core.

Anthony Vanko, a polar bear man, obtained the fourth-generation Ark Reactor. Given the polar bear's personality, it is hard to say what will happen in this world.

Howard Stark just didn't dare to gamble.

Then Anthony Vanco returned to the polar bears. Even if he could make the Ark reactor, it would be difficult for him to be taken seriously, because the polar bears had their own nuclear fission power station plan and possessed artificial controllable nuclear fission technology, and Anthony Vanco's research... At that time, no one knew the direction of science and technology, and it was difficult to make correct judgments. Just like the polar bears chose the miniaturization of electron tubes and the United States chose the two different development directions of integrated circuits, the polar bears were also afraid of being led into a ditch by Anthony Vanco. If they only gave Anthony Vanco a little bit of resources and allowed him to make some results, it would be okay. However, the polar bears and the United States used different industrial standards, and the investment in Anthony Vanco's research was too large, so Anthony Vanco was naturally a hero without a place to use his skills.

"Tsk tsk, it's really a tragedy of the times."

Bai Ye shook his head.

The Ark Reactor is certainly a great invention, invented by Howard Stark and Anthony Vanco. It is the best springboard for the Cosmic Cube Allotropes. TP-4 is already a perfect masterpiece close to perpetual energy.

Anthony Vanco simply had bad luck. He was a polar bear and his emotional intelligence was not very good. If he was an American or had a higher emotional intelligence, he would not have ended up in this situation.

After spending most of the day with Ivan Vanko and Anthony Vanko on the Ark reactor experiment, Bai Ye left.

The progress of the experiment is certainly very good. Perhaps it won’t be long before Bai Ye will have his own second-generation Ark reactor.

Lower the price of the Ark Reactor for me!

Bai Ye took a car to AIM and prepared to discuss with Andy about setting up a group company. After all, Bai Ye now owns too many and too diverse companies, including Mercury Media, Tianmei Studio, Snap, Saturn Biology, Mars Military Industry, Pluto Security, Venus Energy, Galaxy Capital, and Sun Bank. All added up, it is a behemoth with a market value of nearly 100 billion US dollars. Of course, it must be operated as a group and can no longer be a makeshift team.

When they arrived at the AIM building, it was already time to get off work and most of the company employees had left, but Andy was still waiting for Bai Ye in the CEO's office.

Bai Ye walked into the building and was about to take the elevator, but he didn't know when Betty Ross walked up to him quickly. In Bai Ye's surprised eyes, she smiled sweetly and asked:
