Mu Feng knew very well that as long as he released his abilities here a little, or let go of 'playing' for a while, he could plunge the entire United States and even the world into another subprime mortgage crisis.

The current timeline of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is in 2008, which means that before the plot of Iron Man 1 happened, it was during the subprime mortgage crisis around the world.

After this year, Wall Street financiers are no longer so free.

If Mu Feng adds fuel to the flames of this subprime mortgage crisis, he might even be able to provoke World War III! But in this Marvel world full of monsters and monsters, it’s hard to tell.

He calmly walked into the New York Stock Exchange. This ancient building was always crowded with people.

Mu Feng's clothes and face look a bit abrupt and out of place here. He doesn't look like he's here to play stocks, but rather like he's here to kick off the gym.

Mu Feng took the fake Reality Stone and fiddled with it in his hands, but within a few seconds the eyes looking at him disappeared. And soon, a well-dressed securities manager hurried in front of him.

"Mr. Mu, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. We have a lot of things going on here."

"It's okay, I can wait." Mu Feng showed a generous smile

Now, he is a talented Chinese investor with tens of billions of assets. He is a top graduate from MIT. With an annual salary of 20 years, he has multiple doctorate and master's certificates in high energy physics, particle physics, advanced mathematics, etc., and holds many epoch-making achievements. Technology patents, and most importantly, he is rich.

It took him about twenty seconds to get these.

The power of the Reality Stone to turn fiction into falsehood is so powerful. Of course, it depends on whether you can use this power skillfully.

Creating matter out of nothing is the most stupid thing, but if you mobilize data, change memories, and change the memory details of no more than three thousand people, it won't cost much energy.

Just like Odin erasing Chu Zihang's existence, the seemingly incredible ability is ultimately a combination of precise operation and ability.

If he wanted to, Mu Feng could get more money than this, but money is not the most important thing. What is important is the identity of being able to participate in this 'plot'.

As the most distinguished guest, Mu Feng was quickly invited to the VIP room. An ace stockbroker hurried over and extended his hand to Mu Feng with reverence and excitement.

"Hello, Mr. Mu, nice to meet you!"

"Ah, I'm glad to see you too...Kevin." Mu Feng glanced at his name tag and smiled.

"So without further ado, let's get straight to the point. Kevin, I have a fund that I need you to help me operate."

"What exactly do you do?"

"Short Stark Industries."

Kevin was stunned for a moment. His husband checked his ears to make sure he heard correctly, and then looked at Mu Feng in disbelief.

"Mr. Mu...are you sure you want to short Stark Industries?"

"Yes, you can raise the lever as high as you want. In short, I will do my best to short Stark." Mu Feng crossed his fingers and said calmly.

Kevin was silent for a moment. His professionalism told him that this was a sure deal to seek death, but his professional ability made him ask this question immediately.

"Do you... have any inside information?"

What kind of group is Stark Industries? To put it bluntly, this is an epoch-making giant arms trust.

Since the 19th century, Isaac Stark, the head of the Stark family, developed a series of electrical and engineering technologies, accumulated a large amount of wealth and established Stark Industries, and his son Howard Stark quickly made use of World War II. Since the development of the company, Stark Industries can be said to be the world's first-class arms company.

How strong is this number one? Hammer Industries, which ranks second, was almost established with the acquiescence of the military and the joint support of politicians from both parties. However, the scale of its enterprise is almost five times less than that of Stark Industries.

To put it bluntly, Stark Industries is a super giant military enterprise that has violated antitrust and antitrust laws. However, even Roosevelt was unable to start breaking up Stark Industries.

No way, Howard is so talented!

Even if he is not as famous as Einstein, Howard's scientific and technological talents and his analysis of the Rubik's Cube still allowed him to win epoch-making technology for Stark Enterprises.

The most important thing is that he is a special adviser to S.H.I.E.L.D., and S.H.I.E.L.D.’s power in the United States and good cooperation with the military have allowed Stark Enterprises to still retain its powerful monopoly technology under the Anti-Monopoly Act. .

And Howard's heir, Tony Stark, is even better than his predecessor. This love-struck son who is always in the news entered MIT at the age of 14. He took over his parents' billions in property when he was a minor, and inherited his father's powerful business. Weapons development technology and cooperation with the military have caused Stark Industries' stock to rise, especially recently when he is preparing to carry his newly developed Jericho missile with his friend Colonel James Rhodes, the director of the Army's Weapons Development Department. Reached an order worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

It can be said that all investors in the market have always been optimistic about the future of Stark Industries. Even in the context of the subprime mortgage crisis, Stark Industries' stocks are swimming against the trend. Even large investment banks such as Goldman Sachs have declared that Stark Industries stock is a true 'safe haven'.

However, Mu Feng wants to short such a high-quality asset. In Kevin's opinion, he is either crazy or... he has some inside information!

"Oh, Kevin, you know it's very dangerous to program a billionaire with a strong connection to the military."

Mufeng took a sip of coffee and shook his head with a smile, crossing his fingers.

"Based on our many years of friendship, I can only tell you, Kevin. If you want to follow up with me, I have no problem with it. But I hope you will do it generously this time."

"Generous?" Kevin was stunned again.

"Yes, be generous and tell everyone without any cover-up that I am the one who shorted Stark Industries."

Mu Feng's smile is malicious and joyful

Although he arrived at a point where he could become 'good friends' with Tony Stark, Mu Feng had no intention of flattering Stark.

According to the route he chooses in the future, he may not be able to deal with these superheroes with excessive self-awareness. How should he describe his position... Probably Lex Luthor.

And shorting Stark's stock is the most profitable behavior for him.

Stark Industries is a huge interest group, but Tony Stark owns 57% of the shares, which is a perfect absolute controlling stake.

It can be said that Stark Industries is completely in Tony's hands, and if you want to have a hand in it, it is impossible to do it using ordinary methods.

Therefore, shorting Stark's stock is imperative.

The first opportunity for short selling was undoubtedly when Tony was kidnapped by the terrorists of the Ten Rings Gang. Stark Industries' stock price fell off a cliff. At that time, Mu Feng relied on short selling funds to collect idle stocks. when.

But this is not the only opportunity. Obadiah, a young man, is also secretly shorting Stark's stock. In order to ensure that he can gain 100% control of Stark Industries after shorting, Obadiah released bought a lot of his own stocks.

The first time, I guess I couldn't bear to eat this old man, but the second time, after Tony's willful announcement to close the weapons department, Stark Industries' stock will usher in another cliff drop.

At that time, Mu Feng followed up and used his abundant funds to acquire the ‘junk stock’ of Stark Industries.

If the plan goes well, Mu Feng will be able to acquire at least 30% of Stark Industries' stock at that time - to ensure this, he even gave SHIELD no time to enter the market in advance.

After all, that corrupt miser Nick Fury has made a lot of money from Stark Industries...

This plan is not grand, but it is a dangerous challenge for both the trader and Mu Feng.

Kevin's expression was very shaken, he seemed a little hesitant, and the hands on his knees trembled slightly.

Not everyone in the financial sector has the guts to bet against a large company, especially a large company that sells arms.

You must know that business wars often do not involve the clash of swords and swords described in novels and TV series. In many cases, they are often achieved through the most brutal methods.

For example, asking your competitors to fly on a plane is the most simple and unpretentious new behavior in business war.

"Kevin, I won't force you to do this, but think about it, if you make this deal, your reputation in this industry will be completely established."

Mufeng patted Kevin's shoulder and said lightly

"It's not easy for a stockbroker to succeed in such a recession. Don't you know best how involved this industry is?"

"Perhaps you can expect to learn from the Wolf of Wall Street, Jordan Belfort? It's not that easy to exploit the loopholes of the stock exchange, Kevin. If you want to get ahead in the current financial industry, you need luck."

"How old are you Kevin? You should be transferred to the public relations department in the next two years. Your salary will be greatly reduced by then. Think about your children's annual tuition fees at aristocratic schools. Your wife Your brand-name bag, your Ferrari, these all cost money to maintain.”

Kate's face turned blue and purple, but in the end, he nodded fiercely.

Death is not scary, but living without money is scary!

Kevin is a standard middle-class American, with a certain amount of savings and a good salary. He leveraged himself to borrow money from banks and lived a life of a 'rich man' for himself.

However, if the balance of loan repayment is destroyed, this beautiful life will burst like the bubble of the Little Mermaid in an instant. And if worse, if his wife divorces him, he may still have nothing.

Kevin decided to use all his savings to play Mufeng Stud!

"We will have the pleasure of seeing Tony Stark's arrogant and angry face."

…

"Director! We have found three monsters raging in New York and have them all under control."

At nightfall, Agent Hill hurriedly brought Fury a piece of news that was barely good news.

"Only three?" Fury frowned, pacing back and forth.

There are fifteen SHIELD agents who have been turned into monsters, which means there are still twelve untimed bombs that have not exploded!

"Our people are working hard to trace their whereabouts."

"Forget it, what's the damage like?"

Agent Hill paused and said in a lower voice.

"We... lost a total of thirty-four people."

Nick Fury's face darkened a bit as he twitched. Thirty-four S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, even if most of them were Secret Service agents, was still a big enough loss!

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s criteria for selecting internal agents are often to require applicants to pass the SHIELD Academy study and graduation, so their human resources are extremely valuable, far beyond the cheap stuff like the CIA!

"Where are those...remains?"

"They have been transported back to the research base. Director Alexander specially came out to receive these corpses. Also, he said that he will take care of the matters in the White House and let you do your best to solve the current problem."

"Thank you for your hard work." Fury sighed, feeling a little ashamed that his old boss had to wipe his ass even though he was so old.

But this time it cannot be said that everything was a loss.

Among other things, the alienated monster remains of those agents are materials with extremely high research value. Since the successful case of Steve Rogers, major companies and governments in the United States have been working hard to research super soldier potions, and with The various derivatives that have been spawned can be said to be numerous.

However, the effects of many of those derivatives are unsatisfactory. Either they are inferior in effect, or they have some flaws that are difficult to ignore.

There is no doubt that this kind of technology that transforms people into Hulk-like is definitely not mature, but in an instant, people are transformed into monsters that can confront a team with heavy firepower. This technology is probably better than super soldiers. Potions are even more precious.

After all, the most indispensable thing in the world and the cheapest thing is people.

"Let Agent Patton and the others work overtime for a while. The most important thing is to capture Sitwell." Fury rubbed his temples with a headache.

Unlike those agent monsters who can confront a firepower team head-on, the monster Sitwell turned into is obviously more powerful.

And in terms of the few words he expressed, I'm afraid it's not much different from the Hulk. If you let it run around, God knows how many people will be killed.

"By the way, Colson, are you sure that man never came out after entering that apartment?"

Fury looked at Coulson next to him and frowned slightly.

"Yes." Coulson thought about his words before replying

"But Director, I don't think he is really a member of the 'Kama Taj' organization. I think this is most likely useless information he released to confuse us."

"Whether it is or not, just check it and you will find out." Fury waved his hand and said.

"When Agent Patton and the others come back, Coulson, you can go with them."

Coulson and Hill quickly left Fury's office, and the black-braised egg returned to his computer as usual and opened his secret account.

Some time ago, a condolence fund sent by the World Security Council to SHIELD agents has arrived. As always, I will cut off three-tenths of it and transfer it to my secret account.

In order to deal with the threats in this world, Nick Fury forced himself, a scumbag who failed high school mathematics, to learn economics and finance.

Although most of the false accounts and asset transfers were done by professional accountants like Hill, Fury would be proud of himself when he saw that he had made so much money in just twenty years.

but……

"Huh?" Fury was stunned for a moment and said doubtfully in front of the red and green intersecting lines in front of him.

"Is someone shorting Stark?"

7. Proud Genius and Secret Hand

"Tony! Someone is shorting our stock price!"

Obadiah, who was holding a tablet, hurriedly broke into Tony's office and saw his nephew squirting with a few hot Victorian girls.

Tony, who was having so much fun, obviously didn't hear Obadiah's voice. The CEO of Stark Enterprises had no choice but to turn up the volume.

"Okay, okay, Obi, it's not working time now."

Tony looked at his elder with some unhappiness, but he still put down the water gun and walked out of the swimming pool.

"Listen Tony, there's a lot of money pouring into the stock market and shorting our company..."

"Ha! Is there a Wall Street bug?" Tony interrupted Obadiah and poured a glass of whiskey with disdain.

"How many times since I was twenty-one, Obi, do you still need to say this to me?"

"It's different this time, Tony." Obadiah frowned.

"The one who shorted us was the investment genius, your MIT alumnus, that..."

"What is that? Jarvis, retrieve the information Obi mentioned."

Tony casually picked up the tablet next to him, looked at Mu Feng's information on it, and put it down casually.

"I don't know, I don't remember."

Tony's memory will only be left to valuable knowledge, respectable scholars, and a small part to beautiful and sexy hot girls.
