Chapter Thirty-Eight: It's All Tony Stark's Fault
After this bidding meeting, some people are happy and some are worried. Director Rogers is rightly proposing a high reward.
But if it fails, then the punishment is terrible. But in the face of such terrible consequences, there are still countless businessmen who are desperate to join this wave.
Marx once said: If there is 10 percent profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere; if there is 20 percent profit, it will be active; if there is 50 percent profit, it will take risks; for the sake of 100 percent profit, it will dare to trample on all human laws; and if there is 300 percent profit, it will dare to commit any crime, even at the risk of hanging its head. And that's capital.
Merchants are interest groups, and countless people want a piece of the pie in this turbulent wave.
Because this event is related to the future of the entire human race, the attention of the whole world is very high.
Everyone is watching to see which big group can win in this event. If you win, then it will be a big savior. If you lose, you're a big sinner.
All businessmen understand that such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Privileged merchants, then the whole privilege is time-limited (and necessarily time-limited), but it is still worth the operation.
Because to get this privilege is to monopolize what the Earth should sell to the Star Alliance. It's so exciting.
It is only at this special moment that the members of the Earth Federation are willing to give such broad conditions.
Just like Luo Ji in the story of "The Three-Body Problem", it only took a moment to go from an unknown young scholar to a wall-facing person who mastered global resources.
Although the rights of the privileged merchants are not comparable to those of the wall-facing people. But it can still be coveted.
As the one who made the suggestion said: Think narrowly, and the people will discuss widely.
When the enthusiasm of the merchant class and the political elite is mobilized, they do it with all the resources they can muster.
On Wall Street, in the City, on corners around the world. Every inch of power has been mobilized, the behemoth of capital has been released, and it is preparing to choose people to devour, but where is its prey now?
"Ah, it's a little boring. In the office of Marvel Entertainment Group, Li Jie folded paper airplanes and played.
Now businessmen and politicians all over the world are doing all kinds of bidding and preparations. Naturally, the Marvel Entertainment Group, which was invited, is also working hard.
But although his employees are very busy, Li Jie is very idle in the office. Because he already knew that he would win the bid, but he still had to come out of the company to pretend, and even work overtime or something. This cutscene is very disgusting, and I really want to go home.
"Forget it, let's go find something to do, we can't be idle all the time. Li Jie muttered, then made a phone call to Robert Downey Jr.
In fact, some entertainment groups, including Marvel Entertainment, have also received invitations to provide local products to the Nova Legion. But the vast majority of people are not optimistic about these entertainment groups.
Even the world's largest Disney group is not favored. Everyone thinks that aliens must not need earthlings to star in movies, TV series, or something.
What do they want this thing for? Maybe everyone has a different aesthetic, and the movies and TV series or whatever, there's something taboo in them.
After all, the culture and customs are different, and everyone doesn't know what is hated within the new type of legion. If you rashly come up with these things, who will be responsible if there is a dispute?
However, there are also bold companies that are ready to try the cultural product route. Maybe there are aliens with strange tastes who like this bite?
But when it comes to what kind of products the Nova Legion likes, everyone doesn't count. It can only be handled in a way that is left to chance.
And in Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Leonardo was thoughtful, vaguely feeling as if he had mastered something, but he couldn't say anything concrete.
Leonardo wasn't prepared to say anything he knew, though. Because Sugon Technology has signed a super big contract worth more than half a billion dollars with him.
This is the endorsement contract with the highest unit price he has seen in more than 20 years. The world is watching. All the stars of Hollywood are envious, jealous and hateful to Leonardo.
Even Leonardo's agent hadn't slept for days, because as an economist, he could take a 10 percent commission. Although this contract has little to do with the economic company. It was Leonardo who took it privately. However, legal issues are dealt with by economic companies.
Although the economic company has a lot of complaints about Leonardo's private endorsement and plastic surgery (the credit of X beauty medicine). But when the $500 million contract was thrown in their faces, even the CEO of CAA had to tell his subordinates not to upset Leonardo.
Everyone had to circle Leonardo like pugs. Leonardo's image has changed, and his future route needs to be changed, perhaps to the teen and mature market. Leonardo's acting skills are now more sophisticated than he was when he was 20 years old, and he can challenge many young actors with performances that they can't.
Although Leonardo's image has changed greatly, many of the business endorsements he took before had to be abandoned. Those brands that focus on the mature male market have terminated their contracts with Leonardo, and because Leonardo is in breach of contract, they still need to pay a lot of money to these companies.
However, Dawning Technology paid all the liquidated damages for Leonardo. Now the whole world knows that when it comes to the power to grab money, the world's drug dealers desperately produce hallucinogens and hang their heads around their waists can't do Tony Stark's hair growth lotion, beauty lotion and X beauty potion.
Sugon Technology is now the world's No. 1 company in terms of cash flow and profit, and it is overwhelming.
Dawning Technology is Tony Stark's, and Tony Stark is Iron Man. And Iron Man was one of the first earthlings to come into contact with the Nova Legion. Although it seems to have the help of the Inhumans, isn't Iron Man already in contact with Elaini?
He even gave himself over as a gift...... Cough...... I went to accompany the local area.
So Iron Man Tony Stark should know something that no one else knows. For example, what do the people of the Nova Legion like!
Thinking of this, Leonardo suddenly felt that he understood something. He stood up and slapped his face: "Yes! It's all part of a business conspiracy! Tony Stark turned out to be such a sinister villain!"
Leonardo felt that he had vaguely guessed the mastermind behind this world farce, and that it was all a conspiracy of Tony Stark! This guy in steel armor was still a businessman after all.
Businessmen are all about maximizing profits. Otherwise, why would he want to get some Dawning Technology to rob money around the world?
Leonardo was hesitating, should he make it public, or not, would there be any benefit in making Tony's plot public?
As a superstar who has been in and out of Hollywood for many years, Leonardo knows that he can't say anything easily. Otherwise, if one is not handled well, then everything about yourself will disappear.
It's true that he's a superstar, but his superstar title is nothing to mention in front of Tony Stark. He could easily pinch himself to death without letting anyone know.
Just when Leonardo's heart was anxious, two guests suddenly came to his house. Led by a maid to the pool in the backyard to meet him.
"Tony Stark?" Leonardo suddenly felt a little weak when he saw the visitor.
The Tony Stark who came waved his hand: "Please, Mr. Actor." We've been neighbors for so long, can't you call me by my correct name?"
Hearing this from the visitor, Leonardo's hanging heart relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Donnie?"
"Yes, it's me. Robert Downey Jr. nodded and pointed to the person next to him and said to Leonardo, "Introduction, this one is the owner of my last movie." is also the president of Hollywood's most cutting-edge entertainment group now, Jason Lee. ”
Under Donnie's introduction, Li Jie smiled at Leonardo and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Leonardo. ”
Li Jie stretched out his hand and shook Leonardo's hand. Leonardo asked with some confusion, "Hello, Mr. Li." What are you doing?"
Li Jie didn't speak, he took out a few small things (like a few metal buttons) and gently threw them into the sky.
Several metal button-like objects floated in mid-air, and a protective shield was erected like an illusion.
"Don't be surprised, it's just some gadgets Tony Stark gave me. Because I don't want anyone to hear what I'm going to say. Modern eavesdropping technology is much more sophisticated than your counterparts. Li Jie smiled meaningfully.
And Leonardo's heart suddenly burst out when he heard Tony Stark's name. Was it all set up by Tony Stark?Was everything calculated?What the hell was he trying to do?Leonardo wondered.
Robert Downey Jr. was also surprised at what Lee Jay wanted to do.
"I'm serious, do you want to be the emperor's superstar, the emperor's superstar beyond imagination!" Li Jie smiled.
