Chapter Ninety-Eight: Press Conference

Because of Tony Stark's return, it is not only shareholders who are moved, but also countless celebrities and reporters from major news media.

Most of the reporters were already waiting at the press conference, but the celebrities who were more or less connected to the Stark Group were all gathered at the door.

Bang Bang Bang!

As soon as Tony Stark's black sedan approached, countless people surrounded him, clapping their hands in welcome.

There are even many people on both sides of the road, which thoroughly shows what it means to be welcomed

"Look who's coming!"

Obadiah Stein, another major shareholder of Stark Group and a partner of Tony's father Howard Stark, greeted him first, opened the door of the black sedan with a smile on his face, and gave Tony Stark, who had just gotten out of the car, a hug.

The two chatted warmly, and then went to the inside of the building surrounded by everyone's mewich, and before leaving, Tonista, who had a broken sling on one hand, did not forget to take two hamburgers from the bodyguard Harpy, and ate while walking without any scruples along the way.

Lees also mixed in with a group of celebrities and followed into the building, with Tony Stark in front of him, and a large group of people around him, he was unimpeded along the way.

This is originally a public press conference, and it is either a reporter or a celebrity, basically unless he is deliberately dressed like a beggar, otherwise there will be no classic bridge of a dog looking down at people and then pretending to be slapped in the face.

There are already a lot of reporters waiting in the building, some holding cameras and notebooks, and some setting up cameras directly in the back.

Lees's arrival did not attract anyone's attention, or rather, they noticed but ignored him.

Needless to say, the celebrities who came in with him basically didn't know each other and didn't have any interests, and although those reporters also saw Li Si, today's protagonist is Tony Stark after all, and Li Si's presence is a little insignificant compared to this big news.

However, Li Si happened to be happy, although he needed to brush up his fame, he actually didn't like a swarm of flies to wander around him, and no one delayed him to watch the show.

Watching Tony Stark walk to the podium, his eyes focused on two familiar figures.

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Phil Coulson, and Tony Stark's assistant Peber Potz.

"I'm Agent Phil Colson, representing the Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support ......"

Coulson found Peber, and it was still the same awkward formulaic introduction.

Then ushered in the classic sentence that will be complained about wherever you go.

"It's a mouthful."

Peber's reaction was a little cold, and her eyes were always focused on Tony Stark.

"We're also working on this little issue."

Coulson was obviously used to this kind of complaint, and handed over a business card of his own.

……

Seeing Coulson, who was deflated again, Li Si unconsciously put a smile on his face.

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s reputation is not easy to use everywhere, at least Peberbolts, the Iron Man assistant, has not heard of S.H.I.E.L.D. name for the time being.

"Mr. Listan, it's a pleasure to see you again."

Despite the cold reception he received at Peberpots, Coulson still had a kind smile on his face, probably out of politeness, and came to say hello to Lees after talking about business.

"See you again, Coulson."

Li Si also responded with a smile and a chin head, but the relationship between the two was not very familiar, so it was just a hello.

By this time, Tony Stark had already stepped onto the podium, and both Lees and Coulson's eyes shifted back to the podium.

However, in the midst of all the attention, Tony Stark squatted down and sat on the steps in front of the podium without any image, motioned for the others present to sit down as well, and took out a hamburger from his pocket and nibbled there without hesitation.

"I didn't have time to see my father for the last time, but I would like to ask him now what he thinks about the production of munitions......"

"Have you ever been contradictory, have you ever wavered...... Or is it as the media thinks of it, a tough man......"

After a few bites of the burger, Tony Stark finally spoke again.

There is no standing up, and there is no formality of a press conference, but rather a kind of small talk, or a kind of confession in the style of self-talk.

It can be seen that after three months of suffering in Afghanistan, Tony Stark's originally cynical playboy personality has indeed converged a lot, and his mentality has also changed dramatically.

You must know that when faced with the issue of producing arms in media interviews before, he put himself in the position of a patriot with high spirits.

But this is also normal, not to mention the self-blame of seeing the weapons produced by oneself being used to arm the terrorists, and the mere fact that they were almost killed by the weapons they produced is probably not acceptable to anyone.

"I witnessed the killing of young servicemen...... Die under the weapons I would have used to protect them......"

After a moment of silence, Tony Stark continued to speak calmly, with no expression on his face, and even his eyes were slightly glazed.

Not only Obadi, who had been sitting next to him, but even the rest of the reporters finally realized that Tony Stark's mood was not right at this time.

"Mr. Stark."

The reporter who was squatting in the front row raised his hand.

"Please."

Tony Stark surprisingly used honorifics for the reporters who had been so oblivious to answer.

"What exactly did you go through over there?"

The reporter who was called asked asked aloud.

Hearing the reporter's inquiry, Tony Stark was silent again, perhaps unwilling to recall, and after being stunned for a moment, he slowly stood up as if he came back to his senses and covered up, and then talked about his previous topic.

"I came to my senses, and I realized that I could contribute more to the world than just making weapons!"

Tony Stark, who had already walked behind the podium, paused for a moment and said, "So, I have decided to close the Stark Group weapons department, effective immediately!" ”

Wow!

As soon as this sentence came out, the audience was in a sensation, countless reporters surrounded him, and Obadai's face changed, and he hurriedly rushed to Tony Stark's side.
