Chapter 62 The Underlying Reasons
Link understood. Danny Rand was the iron fist of Kunlun this generation, but instead of obediently guarding Kunlun, he ran away and took back his family's group.
If it weren't for my appearance, the Hand would have attacked Kunlun. Without Iron Fist's protection, Kunlun would have been extremely vulnerable and would have been destroyed.
Fortunately, the Hand and the Gang were dealt with by S.H.I.E.L.D. However, Danny Rand, being Iron Fist, was unaware of this and naturally wouldn't let the Hand and the Gang go.
Link thought for a moment and asked, "Why don't you just tell him directly? This doesn't seem to have much to do with cooperation, does it?"
"It's not a big deal, really. Danny Rand thought it was a good idea after learning about my current business and is willing to work with me," Fisk said. "I'm considering whether to accept, so I'd like to hear your opinion."
Link didn't hesitate and said directly, "Of course I accept. Hell's Kitchen is a huge cake, and you're just getting started."
"However, discerning investors will inevitably set their sights on it, but you must firmly grasp the initiative, because capital is extremely greedy."
"The charity in this is your cause, not theirs. If you lose control, you will lose your cause."
"Therefore, the more like-minded people the better, just like the RAND Corporation."
"I believe you have a good eye for people. You should be able to trust Danny Rand's character, otherwise you wouldn't be asking me."
Fisk laughed and said, "Yes, he's naive and has a conscience. He shouldn't abandon charity for money."
"That's good. You can start with a small-scale collaboration to attract some investment, but you need to consider the future valuation," Link said. "Of course, I can also help you find investors, such as Stark Industries."
"Tony Stark is also passionate about philanthropy, partly due to tax exemptions and partly due to his own personal reasons."
"In this way, if others want to join, they will have to consider whether they are qualified enough, which is beneficial to you."
"Of course, this is just a collaboration for now; we can discuss other things later."
The last sentence is Link's reminder: don't try to establish a direct relationship, because Stark is not an easy person to get along with, and even if Fisk tries to approach him, Stark might not respond.
Vanessa said, "I've heard that Mr. Stark also enjoys collecting art; I could perhaps discuss this with him."
“No, he doesn’t care about this at all. You can talk to Miss Pepper Potts,” Link said. “It’s important that Miss Potts will inevitably be in charge of Stark Industries in the future.”
"I understand, thank you!" Vanessa understood; the woman behind every successful man.
Fisk was overjoyed. With Link's guidance and the entry of Rastark Industries, the gains were enormous.
He had already felt the pressure, otherwise he wouldn't have invited Link. Asking for his opinion was secondary; the main point was Stark Industries.
Doesn't Link understand?
Of course I understand. After joining S.H.I.E.L.D., he has been mingling in the upper echelons of New York society. Although his circle is not very large, he speaks in such a cryptic manner.
This investment benefits both Link and Stark Industries. On the one hand, Stark Industries expands its business, allowing Link to make money. On the other hand, it helps Link improve his social standing by facilitating connections.
He can no longer be a professional gambler because his status has changed. His charitable foundation owns 10 percent of Stark Industries, instantly altering his social standing.
Why was Fisk willing to listen to his opinion?
Because of Link's change in identity and status, this is the path Fisk also wants to take, not the flowery words Link makes.
The underlying reasons need to be clarified, rather than Link actually being able to dictate the course of events. Of course, the plan is still feasible, and Fisk's identity and status have changed a lot.
But that's not enough. After all, it's just real estate, and not even one of the biggest ones, so it's not enough to raise prices too much.
Perhaps in the future, United Real Estate Company will become a behemoth, but it is certainly not enough for now.
Link added, "Since we've made the decision, let's not delay any longer. I'll make a call first."
Link actually called right now to finalize things, which Fisk and Vanessa hadn't expected.
Actually, Link just didn't want too much trouble. "Hey, Pepper!"
"Lin, it's quite surprising that you called me. How's Jessica?" Pepper Potts said, somewhat surprised.
"She's right next to me. I called to discuss an investment. Is Stark Industries shifting its focus to New York?" Link asked.
"Yes, after the weapons division was shut down, Tony is preparing to focus on new energy and high-tech industries," Pepper Potts said. "The Industrial Expo is preparing to reopen, and Stark Tower is completed, but Tony is going to redesign the building's energy supply."
"The building has many research and development departments. By using new energy sources, we can save a lot of electricity."
"That's good. Do you know United Construction?" Link was certain that Stark Industries would invest because Stark Industries had shifted its focus.
The weapons division was on the West Coast, where Tony Stark's home was, but with the weapons division closed, Stark Industries' development needed to be readjusted.
"Is it the one that developed Midtown West?" Pepper Potts actually knew; she was much more reliable than Stark in terms of company management.
"That's right. The RAND Corporation here is preparing to invest. I know Mr. Wilson Fisk, and I think Stark Industries could also invest..." Link then introduced the charitable project that solved the problems of the poor people here.
Therefore, even if this area is developed, it will not cause serious social problems.
In addition, the drug addicts and criminals have been cleared out here, and the gangs are temporarily behaving themselves. Once the area is developed, the gangs will no longer be a problem.
Neither the New York City government nor investors want gangs causing trouble. While it's impossible to completely eliminate them, their power can be reduced.
Pepper Potts said, "That's a good project; I think it's feasible."
"That's good. I still have several billion left, and I'm planning to invest it as well." Link had a lot of money left over from last time, so he naturally wouldn't leave it unused. He didn't have the money to invest back then, but now that Fisk has taken off, it's a good idea for him to invest.
This project is guaranteed to make money!
