Chapter 624: Tony, who is so poor that he only has money left
"Ah, of course, I've always done business in dollars," Tony nodded as a matter of course, "but I haven't done business myself for a long time, and these things are all handled by Pepper, and I forgot that there is also the issue of currency, I'm sorry." β
The Great Elder squirted out a sip of wine again, the local tyrant! The person in front of him was definitely a local tyrant, he almost agreed, but his eyes rolled, and his heart said slowly, there is no such person in this world who does not regard money as money, and it is okay to say how much money is okay, but then again, poverty does limit my imagination, and I was almost fooled by this flamboyant tongue, and I wrote a blank check?
"We don't accept bad checks, the Esengard only accept cash transactions. The Great Elder came up with a way that he thought was clever, and if he traded in cash, there wouldn't be so many problems, "Well? It's not that I doubt you, it's just that half a billion dollars is not a small amount. β
Tony was silent for a moment, he thought for a while and said, "Five hundred million dollars is a lot of money, it is still a little difficult to get through the customs, I don't know if you accept the use of gold transactions, if you use gold, I have stored some in the Bank of Moscow, it should be enough, give me a day, I can take out this gold." β
"Golden ?..." The Great Elder was stunned, and even this didn't stump Tony Stark, he snorted a little unwillingly, "It's okay, but I'm afraid I'll regret it, don't you leave me some deposit." β
Tony smiled, although he is a rich second generation, but he is a veteran who has been in the business for many years, he can understand the concerns of the Great Elder, "That's it, Captain America, they stay here, you can help me take care of my armor, don't break it, my armor is sold outside, it is worth at least a billion, oh yes, my armor has a command device inside, don't try to open it, otherwise it will blow itself up, and you can't afford to pay it then." β
"Hmph.... Who are you going to be? just such a piece of armor is worth so much money?" the other elder had drunk a little too much, and he narrowed his eyes in disbelief, "I know your reputation, Stark.... I knew that name during World War II, the family of dead arms dealers, and I think you're planning to blackmail, right?"
Tony was able to turn a blind eye to the insults he had received, but when he spoke disrespectfully to his father, his eyebrows were about to rise, and Captain America hurriedly stood in front of him.
"Now one F22 is worth two or three hundred million dollars, and the power of Tony's Iron Man armor can easily destroy at least ten F22s," Captain America fought for his good friend, and he made a horizontal comparison, explaining to the Council of Elders why the Iron Man armor is so valuable," This armor is the crystallization of Tony's hard work, it is priceless, Tony gave the price of one billion, just to facilitate everyone to understand its value, in fact, the U.S. government seriously wants three billion dollars to buy the technology of the armor, but Tony refused, he is no longer making munitions now, the transformation of the Stark Group is very successful, he is now focusing on clean energy, AI technology and medical machinery and other industries, so please don't look at the Stark family with the old eyes. β
Captain America's prestige was high enough that even the Russians, who had always looked down on the fighting power of the British and American allies, expressed their admiration for his deeds, and the fighting nation obeyed such an iron-blooded tough guy as the American team, and the elder who had spoken disrespectfully to Tony raised his glass and said sorry to Tony.
Tony's face softened at this time, he and Captain America looked at each other and smiled, this time he came to Esengard and he brought three sets of armor, and now he left this body here, in addition to the energy consumption of this armor is too large, it takes a while to recover, and at the same time, it is also to stay, so that these suspicious forest druids can rest assured, this is also a way out of the way, who makes people not believe that he can come up with so much money.
The others have no problem, but the Great Elder is a little puzzled, "I don't understand, your Stark Group has been engaged in the arms business since it was established, and at that time, your company's arms were the only ones that could still be used among all the companies in the United States, I don't understand why you suddenly stopped doing arms business, but turned to become a thankless superhero? β
"Because I have money, and I have nothing but money, I am poor now and only have money left," Tony didn't want to explain, but he felt that it was still necessary to say something, and now that the Great Elder finally relented, the relationship that had finally eased up could not be stiffened again because of one or two sentences, "I once walked between life and death before, and that experience gave me some insights, please think about it, what else do I have?" My parents died when I was a child, and now I don't have a home, I was lost in the early years, at that time, I had nothing else to do except spend money on pickling girls every day, and then I was kidnapped by terrorists, and I suddenly realized that if I continue to mix up in this life, it will be over in such a mess, I might as well follow my heart to do what I really like to do, as for how much it costs, I think it is necessary to clarify, I am now living happily every day, which is not exchanged for any amount of money. β
The Great Elder nodded slowly, Tony had found his ideal, which was a gratifying thing.
Tony and the Great Elder touched the cup, he didn't know the relationship between Goyle and the Great Elder, but he liked Goyle very much, so he praised a few words in front of the Great Elder, the Great Elder didn't say anything on the surface, but his heart was actually happy for a long time, although Goyle went out privately to participate in the Supreme Mage Selection Conference this time, which made the Great Elder feel shameless, but no matter how rebellious his son is, he is also a son, and the family affection that blood is thicker than water cannot be erased.
Before, the Great Elder forbade the forest druid to go out, because of the recent internal worries, he was afraid that if Goyle left like this, there would be a big mess when the people's hearts were scattered, and Esengard must not be destroyed in his hands, but now with Tony Stark's funds, Esengard will not have any problems in the next few decades, his mood has become very good, and he heard Tony constantly praise his son, and it is obvious that Tony does not know the relationship between himself and Goyle, this is not deliberately saying good things to himself, but his true thoughts, take 10,000 steps back, Esengard's younger generation of forest druids are so much, why Tony only praises his son, which shows that his son is really good.
The Great Elder smiled like a flower, he deliberately said endlessly on this topic, in fact, he just wanted to hear more of his son's good words, Tony as a successful businessman and superhero, he keenly felt that there was a story here, but he was not a fairy, so he naturally couldn't guess the key, but he still observed the words and found that as long as he praised Gower, the happier this old man who looked very serious, but was actually quite cute, if he didn't know what to do, then he had been in the business world for so longγ
