While Mark stayed in the data room of the Triskelion Building, immersed in the knowledge in the technical materials, the outside world's enthusiasm for the personal health assistant released by the Mark Research Center had exploded.
After the product launch conference, he had been in seclusion to study the power system required by SHIELD. After coming out, he went straight to the SHIELD headquarters to continue his seclusion. Mark did not understand the company's operations, or when he decided to hand over all matters other than scientific research to his subordinates in the company, these matters had nothing to do with him.
However, as the audience who watched the press conference forwarded the video of the press conference crazily, and as media reporters continued to follow up on the physical examinations of several volunteers, related words such as "Dabai", "Personal Health Assistant", "Mark Research Center", etc. have become the hottest keywords on television, newspapers and the Internet.
Mark's marketing department invited celebrities and other prominent figures to post about purchasing the personal health assistant on their social media platforms, and tagged Mark's research center's tweets, further fueling the hype. The fanbase is undoubtedly powerful, and the personal health assistant itself is also of high quality, creating a publicity effect that is greater than the sum of its parts.
People marvel at the powerful diagnostic and treatment capabilities of the robots developed by Mark, and are even more attracted by the cool or cute appearance of the various styles of robots he designed. In today's era of information explosion, the spread of this hot topic will undoubtedly be faster than ever before.
The only topic people discussed in their daily lives was the personal health assistant released by the Mark Research Center. Where could one buy it? How much would it cost? Would it have more interchangeable skins? Regardless of the question, the core of the discussion revolved around Baymax.
There are even savvy fashion and luxury brands that come to us seeking cooperation, wanting to launch co-branded skins, or obtain the image development rights of [Dabai] to commercially develop its peripheral products or even cultural products.
Today, the first batch of Personal Health Assistant products is about to hit the shelves. Over the past week, offline stores have mushroomed like mushrooms after rain, with Mark's Home stores opening in major cities' business districts. Citizens from all over the country have been waking up early to rush to the stores, forming long lines in front of the doors, hoping to be the first to get their hands on the product. Meanwhile, some scalpers are mingling in, hoping to capitalize on this hot market.
Mark's team had also made early preparations online, launching a meticulously designed website where users could view the differences in parameters and prices between various robot models and reserve a spot online. However, even with Stark Industries' server cluster already rented, the Mark Research Center's website nearly crashed due to the sudden influx of traffic. Fortunately, Mark had already connected the Baymax program to the company's servers, using Baymax for load balancing and traffic control, ultimately stabilizing the situation.
"Tony, this is the sales data for Mark's House's offline stores from opening at 9:00 AM to closing at 5:00 PM today. The total sales were $394 million. Add to that the $230 million in online sales, and the Mark Research Center's single-day revenue today exceeded $600 million! And this is just from the European and North American markets. If Mark Research Center's products enter Asia, Africa, and South America in the future, this figure will be greatly increased."
In Stark Manor in Mabry Harbor, Pepper was reporting to Tony the revenue information she had collected today about the Mark Research Center.
After hearing Pepper's data report, Tony, who had been acting nonchalant, was stunned. Tony had been running Stark Industries since he was twenty-one, and interpreting a company's performance was a masterful skill. He knew that based on the Mark Research Center's revenue figures today, even if it fell later due to a decline in popularity, the company's valuation would still be at least a trillion dollars.
In other words, if this company he helped to establish, which is less than a month old, were listed on the New York Stock Exchange now, its stock price would be more than twice what it was at the peak of Stark Industries's prosperity, and Mark's personal net worth would surpass his own, making him the richest man on the Forbes rich list.
"Hiss—this kid Mark is so terrifying. If he keeps going like this, will I be overtaken by my son soon?!"
"If Mark is willing to give up the sole proprietorship and take the company public, then that's indeed the case. But I don't think Mark will take his company public. First of all, he has you and Stark Industries behind him. Even if he doesn't go public, it will have little impact on his capital chain and business operations.
Moreover, Mark does not like to discuss decisions with others. Once he makes a decision, it is difficult for him to change it, so he will not allow multiple directors in the company who can influence his decision-making power.
Also, Tony, you've overlooked one thing. Although Stark Industries' new energy business hasn't fully launched yet, thanks to the Mark Research Center's personal health assistant manufacturing business, the company's stock and revenue have returned to their pre-weapons division levels, and the upward momentum remains strong, and your personal assets are also increasing."
"Hearing you say that, I feel much better. By the way, a few days ago, I heard you say that the company has added a new shareholder. This person bought a lot of shares when Stark Industries' stock price plummeted. Now he has enough shares to join the board of directors. Have you contacted him again?
Although I have basically gained control of the company after taking over Obadiah's shares, if the other party has some ulterior motives, it will still cause some trouble."
"You don't have to worry about that. The new director who bought these shares is Mark. He saw that you were previously restricted by other shareholders on the board because your shares did not exceed 50%, so he used his own private money to buy up the scattered shares on the stock market.
Mark has already authorized me as his full agent for these shares and their voting rights, so you can rest assured."
"Mark became the director of Stark Industries!" Tony suddenly felt that the world was changing too fast and he could not react.
