He also tried to have Jarvis perform a scan to see if there was any invisible ink or something that would appear under certain special circumstances or after certain specific times.
But in the end, nothing was found. This is just a very normal diary.
If there is anything special about it, it is probably that this diary was accidentally discovered by Tony Stark. It is impervious to water and fire, and there is no way to write on it.
However, after scanning it with the most sophisticated instruments, it was discovered that it was indeed just an ordinary diary. But can an ordinary diary remain unharmed when put on fire?
Obviously impossible!
So, up to this point, Tony Stark finally confirmed that he might have encountered something supernatural!
So he began to really take the contents of the diary seriously.
If we hold on to the one in ten thousand possibility, judging from the contents of the diary, is it really possible that he will be kidnapped in the future?
Judging from the tone of the diary entries, this person doesn't seem to be the one behind his kidnapping, but rather seems to know something about the future, or perhaps has some kind of superpower?
The superpower to predict the future?
This kind of superpower can be found in many cheesy Hollywood movies, but the general point is that people cannot change their own destiny and will eventually fulfill the prophecy.
But he is the kind of person who doesn't believe in fate.
"Mr. Stark, the board of directors just sent you an email asking you to go to Afghanistan next month to show the generals of the Ministry of Defense the missiles that our company is about to sell to them!" At this time, Jarvis's voice interrupted his thoughts, but made him alert.
Afghanistan?
Isn't this what Lin Feng mentioned in his diary about being kidnapped in Afghanistan?
But he himself didn't even know that he had gone to Afghanistan, because he was used to being a hands-off boss and entrusted most of the company's administrative matters to his uncle Obadiah and Pepper.
He is usually responsible for scientific research, and there are also some occasions where the boss has to appear in person. He spends most of the rest of his time eating, drinking and having fun.
For example, the Jericho missile that is about to be sold to the U.S. military is his latest masterpiece. If it is sold to the U.S. military, the profit can exceed 10 billion US dollars at a time, which is worth it for him, a big boss, to make a personal trip.
After all, it is well known that the US military is rich and powerful. A thermos can sell for tens of thousands of dollars, so why can't its Jericho missiles sell for the same?
However, the board of directors' sudden decision to send him to Afghanistan was not told to him before today. After all, he usually avoided board meetings whenever possible.
Anyway, we have the trustworthy Uncle Obadiah and Pepper Potts watching over us.
But today's seemingly ordinary notice made him feel a little creepy. It was actually predicted in advance.
It is doubtful that he had inadvertently learned of a conspiracy against him. From now on, it seems that it is possible.
"Jarvis, do you have the information about Lin Feng that I asked you to look up last time?"
Tony Stark asked.
Because the name Lin Feng on the cover of the diary is actually in Chinese, Tony Stark couldn't understand it at first. It was only after Tony Stark scanned it that he knew what it meant and how to pronounce it.
"Based on the name, it seems more in line with Asian usage. More precisely, it fits the single-character surname conventions of both China and South Korea. However, judging by Korean naming practices, this name doesn't seem Korean. The probability is only 20%. The remaining 80% probability suggests it's Chinese!" Jarvis's robotic voice chimed in. "Based on previous searches, if it's Chinese, we've hacked into household registration websites around the world and found a wealth of relevant Chinese names. There are approximately 283,765 people with names matching the two Chinese characters of Lin Feng!"
Hearing so many people, Tony Stark felt a headache. There are really so many Chinese people, and this name is really common.
"Among them, 273,560 are in China, and the rest are among Chinese people all over the world!" Jarvis said.
"Let's rule out those who are overseas first!" Tony Stark said. "From what I've read in this diary, it seems like they see news about me every day. They're probably locals. After all, if it's foreign media, they probably won't pay much attention to my gossip!"
Tony Stark thought for a moment and said that it was not the first or second time that he appeared on the front page of the news, which was normal. However, if one could often see gossips about him, it was probably only in the United States. Foreign media were not so free to devote their headlines to his gossips, unless it was something very sensational.
Only paparazzi in the United States would track his every move every day like this.
"Call out all the Chinese named Lin Feng in the United States!" Tony Stark said.
There are currently about four to five million Chinese people in the United States, which is not a small number. The fact that they can be found instantly is enough to show the strength of Jarvis's algorithm and computing power.
"Currently, there are 138 people named Lin Feng in the United States!" Jarvis said.
"Among them, how many people have relatively good family conditions, or at least are above middle class?" Tony Stark said.
"There are sixteen people above the middle class, and one of them is in the wealthy class! He is a third-generation immigrant, and his family assets exceed 100 million!" Jarvis answered directly.
"Lock on this third-generation rich man!" Tony Stark said, "Follow other middle-class and above people named Lin Feng as well. For the others, just follow the lowest level!"
"Sir, how do you judge?" Jarvis said.
"Because it's written in this diary, he's been waiting every day for me to be kidnapped in Afghanistan, and then for the stock price to collapse, and then he'll come to buy the dip. Since he's coming to buy the dip, he must have some money. Otherwise, if his own financial situation is very poor, how can he afford to buy stocks? What was the price of our stock yesterday? $98 per share. It's not that I look down on them, but even if ordinary people know this news, they won't have enough capital!" Tony Stark gave his analysis.
This is also the current situation of Americans. Most Americans have every penny planned clearly. If they suddenly need to take out 500 US dollars, they will be stuck and their capital chain will collapse, not to mention buying their stocks at the bottom.
If you only have a few hundred dollars on hand, how much money can you make even if you buy at the bottom?
