Chapter 292 - Reemployment after being laid off
Tony Stark went bankrupt, and the rich second generation, who has been at the top of the world's wealth list for many years, actually went bankrupt and immediately became the world's headlines.
Especially now, just over half a year after the Ultron crisis, it is even more on the cusp.
Ordinary people naturally sit down and eat melons, but for some professionals, this result is not strange at all, and even many people have predicted this as early as half a year ago.
"Ultron has caused a war in the entire beautiful country, and the direct damage caused by this war is as high as trillions, and Tony Stark can't afford to pay for it no matter how rich he is!"
"This thing is finally over, I've long seen him unhappy, TM's every day to sleep with tender models, and at the beginning, he also slept with Playboy's cover girls throughout the year, so TM made me unhappy."
"Brother, even without Tony Stark, you can't sleep with those young models, can you?"
"What's wrong with not being able to sleep? Lao Tzu is envious, jealous and hateful, you hang me! β
In this world dominated by money, rich people will be respected by others, even if you have all kinds of problems and problems, as long as you have money, you will be named a person who has achieved great things.
But if you don't have money, then you are a scumbag, scum, how hard others used to praise you, now how crazy they will belittle you, this is the reality, no one can avoid it.
What's more, Tony is indeed mainly responsible for the Ultron incident, after all, Ultron is not only created by him and Banner, but also promoted by him, if this is the case, then Tony Stark is definitely the main culprit, and Banner can only be regarded as an accomplice.
"You all underestimate Tony Stark too much, he is called retreating as advance, continue to lose, the entire Stark industry will be compensated, not necessarily enough, now Tony Stark directly filed for bankruptcy protection, although all personal assets are gone, but Stark Industries has been saved."
"That's right, this guy is too cunning, with his ability, even if he is penniless, he can still find a good job, and he can still live a chic life in the future, but those who are waiting for compensation are all over, and they will not get a penny of compensation at all, our country's laws are really TM bastards!"
According to the law of the beautiful country, once an individual files for bankruptcy, all previous debts do not have to be repaid, even if you owe an astronomical amount of debt, it will be written off.
Of course, all of your possessions will be taken and auctioned off to pay off those debts.
Therefore, many people will take advantage of the loopholes of the law, directly avoid debts in the form of bankruptcy, and then start a new business and make a comeback.
In history, there are countless similar examples, after all, this is the country of capitalists, and the law is also for capitalists, as for those unlucky people at the lowest level of society, who will care whether they live or die!
At this time, in another Stark building in Los Angeles, Pepper stops Tony.
"Tony, are you really going to do this? Why? Didn't you say that weapons would no longer be made for the military? β
At this time, Pepper's eyes are full of disappointment and pain, and he hopes that Tony will stop from the precipice, but it is clear that Tony is not the kind of person who will change his mind easily.
"The current power of the umbrella is too strong, even to the point of being on a par with the country, someone must stand up and balance it, otherwise the world will be in chaos!"
At this time, Tony was only wearing a cheap shirt and an equally cheap pair of jeans on the lower body, and all the previous brand-name clothes were gone.
Obviously, after the bankruptcy, he could no longer maintain the high quality of life he had before.
"Besides, do you really think that just going bankrupt can wipe off the Ultron affair? Don't be stupid, the reason why the government shirks responsibility is to make me a scapegoat, so they won't let me get away easily. β
Pepper is now an old fritter in the business world, and Tony understands it as soon as she says it.
"Did they threaten you with that? We can sue them! They don't have the power to decide your life! β
"Hehe, no, they not only have power, but they are also very good at using it. I'm still a little too naΓ―ve, but now it seems that Wang Khan has a vision. β
Thinking of his biggest opponent at this stage, Tony smiled wryly.
Looking back on the years after he became Iron Man, from the beginning of the arrogance, to the gradual realization of the truth of the world, and finally fell to the point of bankruptcy.
Step by step, Tony discovers that he has never been truly free.
Although he used to think that no one could control himself at all, relying on Stark Industries, he had scolded the ceremonies in the Congress, and made a lot of nonsense at the exposition, but the pressure from the government and the military has not been able to get rid of it, until now he has completely crushed himself and has to compromise.
retreated again and again, and finally fell into today's field.
"Forget it, the reason why I promised the military this time, in addition to Ultron's matter, is that there is another reason for the manufacture of space-based weapons. Now that the four cosmic elevators have been built, the future situation of the earth is definitely up to the space-based weapons, rather than letting others mess around with space-based weapons and triggering a world war, it is better to let me get involved, at least I can add an insurance to the space-based weapons. β
"Alright Pepper, you stay at Stark Industries and help me manage it, I'll be back sooner or later."
Wearing a cheap baseball cap, Tony Stark, a rich second generation born with a golden spoon in his mouth, directly turned into a penniless poor bastard.
But geniuses are not going to starve to death, just out of the door of the Stark Building, as soon as the military's bulletproof car stops in front of him.
Tony walked up with the door in hand, and the bulletproof car quickly departed for a military airfield.
At the airport, old friend Roddy was already waiting for him there.
"Welcome home, brother, from now on, this is your home."
Tony smiled, didn't respond, and then got on the plane and came to Area 51, the most mysterious area in the beautiful country.
This Area 51 really has alien spacecraft wreckage, and has been working on the reverse engineering of alien spacecraft since decades ago.
Nowadays, in addition to the Kree spaceship dozens of years ago, there are also a large number of shipwrecks of the Kitari and the dark elves, which can be said to be the most comprehensive place on Earth today for the study of alien civilizations.
Guided by two soldiers, Tony arrives at the heart of Area 51, where he meets a 5-star general and a number of military bigwigs.
Tony was a little nervous, but when he thought of his current situation, he felt a little barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes.
"I'm here as promised, and I hope you don't bother Stark Industries and Pepper anymore, but I promise you everything, now can you tell me what you want me to do?"
The five-star general smiled slightly.
"Don't worry Stark, we're not looking for you to threaten you, or even to entrust you with a heavy responsibility."
"Entrusted?"
"Yes, the space elevator has been built, the earth is about to enter a new era, space-based weapons will become the mainstream of the world's military, so we have decided to set up a special department to manage all this, and you, will be the head of this department."
"What department?"
"We've just decided on the name of it, and it's called ...... Heavenly Sword Bureau! β
