Chapter 66: The Difference Between Geniuses

"Woo-wah-oh." Henry let out a long sigh. Being able to make the future Iron Man have such resentment, Mr. Fantastic really offended people fiercely.

However, this also made Henry notice one thing. Although Iron Man and Mr. Fantastic are both geniuses in the Marvel world, the attributes of the two are still different.

Putting aside the halo of superheroes, Mr. Fantastic is a pure scientist, Iron Man is a capitalist first, and then a scientist. That is to say, Mr. Fantastic's biggest advantage is his intelligence, while Iron Man's real advantage is his money ability.

So now it seems that Mr. Fantastic Reed Richards' life is just poking trouble and cleaning up the mess, plus a trip to cheat for funds everywhere.

According to the movie setting, even marriage is done in spare time. In a certain version of the setting, he even once thought that women would only hinder his scientific research, so he once planned to leave Sue.

If it weren't for the wife being directly married from the sister in the team, coming to a fat water not flowing to outsiders' fields, Mr. Fantastic would estimate that he would be a bachelor until the end of time.

It's just that Henry doesn't quite understand the mentality of these scientific research big shots, so he asked: "Even if that Mr. Richards thinks his research is too advanced, he should be able to take out some scraps.

"It doesn't have to be too good, as long as it slightly exceeds the existing technology, this should be enough to satisfy those wolves and tigers on Wall Street, right. Don't tell me he won't even do that?"

Tony said: "Because to do that, he must first hand over his research results, and then others can do downgraded research. Or he personally conducts this aspect of downgraded research.

"But that guy won't hand over his results, nor does he want to waste his time doing downgraded research, so no one who has worked with him doesn't complain."

Henry understood this, and said: "So someone criticized him for being a guy who cheats for funds."

"Yes."

"Then what does your father think?" Henry asked again.

After all, the Tony Stark now is just a rich second generation who mixes in school and picks up girls in Hollywood.

The person in charge of Stark Industries is his biological father, Howard Stark. So Henry is also curious about that person's thoughts, whether it is as extreme as his son's.

Although mentioning that person makes Tony unhappy. But as a top scientific research person, Howard's evaluation of Reed Richards, Tony can still remember clearly.

He said: "The old guy's evaluation is that things that exceed Earth's technology by thirty years or more are just flashy toys. You can propose concepts, but they are not worth the time to realize.

"Furthermore, so-called future technology inevitably eliminates certain old technologies, which touches the red lines of certain vested interests. Unless he is willing to share his interests, these people will inevitably become obstacles to him in business.

"Or he has powerful political power, enough to block those dissatisfied voices for him. Even so, political power also needs to be exchanged with his own interests. Before that guy learns these, his current situation won't change."

Oh, this is really worthy of the evaluation of an old-school capitalist, very consistent with the current situation and values of the United States.

Or rather, this may also be Howard Stark's own personal experience along the way.

Henry asked curiously: "Your father didn't intend to recruit such a talent?"

After a pause, Tony shook his head and said: "I don't think he will hire someone who is very similar to himself. And we have no obligation to teach him these, do we. If he is really a talent, he will find his own way to succeed."

But how many talents have been buried because of this.

Henry thought of the Anton Vanko and Ivan Vanko father and son who have entanglements with the Stark family. Although he didn't know if there was this pair of Russian father and son in this world, and whether the story was as he knew it.

Very suddenly, Tony's tone changed, and he used an angry tone again, saying: "Do you think these people are sick. The things they researched are not for people to use, and they don't even want others to know.

"Then what are they doing these researches for? Richards is like this. Listening to that old guy, he also met an annoying ghost, called Hank something, and it's the same problem."

This time it was Henry's turn to regret, regretting why he didn't bring a portable tape recorder.

If he recorded this sentence today, when the US Department of Defense asks Iron Man to hand over his armor in the future, Henry would play this to the future Tony Stark.

See what kind of expression this genius will have when he is hit by his own past boomerang.

What a pity~

Slightly restraining the fun of watching the show and eating melons, Henry patted the bone conduction microphone switch on his neck again and said: "The one walking over now is the CEO of Bloomberg, Mr. Michael Bloomberg and his wife, Mrs. Susan Brown."

It turned out to be on the other side, the Stark couple who had already talked overtime finally finished occupying Audrey Hepburn's time, and another group of heavyweight figures took over.

Looking at Henry's movements, Tony pointed to the little thing on his neck and said: "You can make things like this, and why are you content to be a little assistant? If you want, not to mention making a big company, not worrying about food and clothing is no problem. Just like me."

"Like you?" Henry said provocatively: "I don't have a good dad."

"Hmph, all my living expenses since college have been earned by myself. Didn't rely on anyone."

"Is that so. What is the source?"

"Patent licensing fees."

"Then do you know how long it takes to apply for a patent?" Henry asked.

"Don't know, it's all handled by lawyers. It should be done in a few days, right." The ignorant young master Tony said with reason.

Henry sneered and said: "Heh, a few days. Applying for a patent, including the time for review, takes an average of seven to eleven months. Usually during this time, some big companies will know the content of the patent.

"As long as they are interested, they will find the owner to talk. If they can't talk, naturally there are other means. But don't think that after selling the patent to a big company, you can safely collect money.

"Many big companies would rather spend a lot of money to hide a patent technology that has a commercial conflict with them, than be willing to let anyone benefit from this technology. So the idea of wanting to make money from patents is an invisible threshold for ordinary people.

"Without the Stark Industries legal team as a backing, ordinary people can still keep the patent in their hands, only proving that those big players don't like this technology, and can only make a little money. Or there is a simple alternative plan.

"So please don't say that making money from patents is easy. From this perspective, it's not hard to understand why that Mr. Richards didn't use the scientific research results in his hands to raise funds."
