Chapter 1484: Funding? Lending Money

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Luke turned to Misty. “Steve is a good guy. He should be able to help you.”

He took two steps back and coughed. “Girls tend to fall for Steve, but he’s a pure boy. Misty, don’t hit on him.”

With that, he grabbed his clothes from the stool and slipped out the door.

The man and woman left behind in the gym stared at the door blankly for a moment before they looked at each other in bewilderment and suddenly burst out laughing.

Luke himself was only 20. Saying that Steve was a pure boy was a joke!

However, Steve looked conflicted. That was impossible. Could he really tell?

But he soon tossed that aside.

Luke was clearly joking. It wasn’t like nobody had ever joked about that before. He couldn’t be bothered to bicker with a kid.

“Let’s sit over there.” Steve gestured at Misty, and they sat back down on some stools and talked.

…

Luke drove away happily.

He had come here purely because it was convenient.

Of course, it was only after finding out that Steve came here that he had Jenny use his personal name to invest in this gym.

The original owner had been very happy when the gym, which hadn’t been making much money, received a huge investment, new equipment, and a facelift, along with a pledge by the new owner to keep the gym running smoothly.

As for whether or not someone discovered his relationship with Jenny, Luke didn’t really care.

After all, he had saved Miss Jenny before. It made sense that she would be happy to give him something in return.

However, meeting Steve today could only be said to be a coincidence.

An idea had struck Luke, and he had simply grabbed Steve.

This old man was trustworthy.

Misty had lost her arm fighting a monster to save citizens. Steve wouldn’t refuse to help her.

As a battle veteran, he should know how to regulate his comrades’ mental states.

Otherwise, nobody would be fired up when he yelled “Charge”; it would be very embarrassing for him to be the only one charging forward.

Misty’s psychological issues were similar to that of a vet crippled in battle, though she had a new arm and a new posting. It was because things had changed too quickly, and she had yet to adjust to them.

As long as Steve solved this problem, Misty, who had been able to kill a test subject on her own, would naturally recover.

After two minutes of exercise, Luke had been able to rope in a “specialist” in psychology, which wasn’t a loss. He drove off with a smile.

He had just gotten home, when he suddenly received a computer file from Jenny along with a message: “A large number of companies have been looking to us for funding recently. I’ve put together a list. Take a look.”

Pouring himself a cup of coffee, Luke took a sip before unhurriedly opening the file.

Anyone with an information source in America now knew that Titanium Phone Company had plenty of cash on hand and was looking to invest in high-tech projects with more potential.

This matter had come up in various investigations and reports, and Jenny had acknowledged it herself in an interview.

Funding applications from heaps of companies instantly came flooding in.

As CEO, Jenny had her subordinates first get rid of the sham applications before she sorted out the rest with the smart program which Luke had given her. She gave the list a final once-over before passing it to Luke.

The reason he had asked Jenny to step up was because she was famous and partly because she had a lot of cash.

Secondly, her reputation in the business world had always been good, and there had never been news of her knocking other people down.

When all was said and done, Titanium was basically letting other people in to make money together. The company had never unscrupulously swallowed up other companies and their technology.

This was what dispelled many people’s doubts.

It was far from just small workshops that were looking for funding.

The bulk of the funding applications were from tech companies worth more than a hundred million.

Compared with small companies, they had basically achieved some results, but were in a difficult predicament because of lack of funding.

Some couldn’t continue their research, and some weren’t capable of doing the marketing.

If they could curry favor with the cell phone company, giving up some shares in exchange for a huge injection of cash and a rise in the value of their own shares would be worth it.

So far, Luke had invested in a dozen companies.

The shares he got in return weren’t important. The important thing was that some of their technologies was indeed useful to him.

Tony Stark’s abilities weren’t to be trifled with.

Although Luke didn’t have the tycoon’s scientific creativity, he had enough knowledge and foresight to understand the value of many skills.

Like Luke had said a long time ago, if Tony switched careers and focused on energy, software, data and electronic products, he would still make a lot of money.

The tycoon hadn’t done that because he wasn’t interested.

Even with its weapons division, one of its main businesses, shut down, Stark Industries’ current projects still spanned many industries, and the company was indisputably a supergiant.

At the same time, Luke didn’t really care about money.

The technologies he chose were mainly for his own use.

He didn’t have scientific creativity, but he could buy someone else’s.

If he wanted to have fun, he would do it himself. If he wasn’t interested, he could spend money and have the company continue the research.

He could use the technology in advance.

In any case, he was a shareholder, and it was just for private use.

There were also some technologies that would be useful for the phone company.

Luke simply added a brief explanation and pointed out the future potential of these technologies and their application to Jenny, who would decide whether to invest or acquire them.

This could be considered their regular communication.

Jenny had sent over a hundred names today.

This was already the third batch. There were plenty of small workshops and plenty of medium and large companies.

As Luke drank his coffee, he took out the cake which Max had personally made for him from his inventory.

Suddenly, his expression changed as his gaze fell on a company on the list. “Little Snail, bring up information on Pym Technologies.”

“Yes, sir.” Little Snail immediately did as it was told.

A moment later, looking at the information projected on the virtual screen, he felt some regret. “So, it’s just emergency funding.”

The information that was circulating outside, as well as the information from Jenny, indicated that Pym Technologies was only looking for a two-year, low interest loan of 200 million dollars.

However, the company didn’t want to pay any sort of price, whether in terms of shares or technology.

It would give him a quota of roughly 10% when its product hit the market in the first year — Luke still had to pay for it, and would just get it at the wholesale price.

At first glance, it didn’t look like they were being sincere.

After thinking for a moment, however, Luke sent Jenny a message and asked her to make the arrangements; he would send someone to Pym Technologies for an inspection.

This was very common.

Generally speaking, if the company was willing to send someone to investigate, it would be willing to fork out the money

Not sending anyone was naturally equivalent to no interest in investing.

After instructing Little Snail to gather more information on Pym Technologies, Luke started to study it.
