Chapter 1047: Jamavun's Project
Amidst the laughter of the college students, Tony Stark continued to humorously say: "I don't think that in this world, except for me, no normal businessman will sponsor this money-burning project." β
There was another round of laughter below.
"But what is MIT's purpose?" Tony Stark asked.
The students below replied in unison, "Create, disseminate, and protect knowledge." β
"That's right! Create, disseminate and protect knowledge. "Also, collaborate with others and do your best to push the limits of the world." You, the others, are not hyped up, and the challenges you face are the greatest challenges facing humanity. In addition, you are all poor, the tuition fees of the university are very high, many of you are on loans, you are under a lot of pressure, and you have the energy to create knowledge? β
None of the students present could laugh.
Indeed, today's college students are under a lot of pressure, not only because of their studies and grades, but also because of their career choice, and how to survive in this cruel real world after graduation.
Tony Stark smiled: "My words will take effect immediately - from now on, all of you here will be allocated from the [September] Fund!" What is this September Fund? Ten percent of all earnings from my Stark Industries! Presumably...... Uh, sorry, I can't do the math, anyway, there are many zeros, and I have to add a hundred million words to the end, well, there are probably hundreds of billions. β
The students present were all boiling.
Tony Stark pressed his palm and continued to smile and said, "All of your projects will be supported by the September Fund, even if you are working on something as boring as the three-dimensional image I demonstrated just now, the September Fund will pay for you. β
"And all I want in return is to be your partner and share in the profits you have created. Of course, if you fail, I'll take on all the debts 100% - yes, I'm so domineering, now, try to spend all my September funds, even if one of you can succeed, our world will be better because of it, and my Stark Industries will benefit immensely. β
"Besides, there are no other strings attached, just do it and try to change our future!"
As soon as Tony Stark's words fell, the students in the entire auditorium stood up and applauded Tony Stark wildly.
"Now, I'm going to ask for the head of the September Fundβ" Tony Stark said, pausing abruptly.
The person in charge of September Gene is his girlfriend Pepper, but Pepper has been in the Cold War with Tony Stark since "Iron Man 3", and has focused all his energy on making money for the company.
Tony Stark, on the other hand, put all his energy into spending the company's money.
Facing the serious college students below, Tony Stark smiled helplessly, "I'm sorry, Miss Pepper Potts, the head of the September Fund, is busy making money for everyone at the moment, so she can't come to the scene, but I still ask everyone to give her a round of applause first." β
Immediately, there was a long burst of applause.
Tony Stark also walked off the stage in the palm of his hand.
"Brother Yi! You're coming! Tony Stark came backstage and saw Ling Yi and the others at a glance.
Ling Yi smiled and said, "Very wonderful speech, Nini." You can see that you have a high reputation at your alma mater. β
Jia Mayun said with a smile: "Tony, to be honest, I also have an idea, called the sun flashlight, when there is the sun, the flashlight can emit strong light, and there is no need to waste electricity at all, how much do you think I can get for this project?" β
Tony Stark opened his mouth, "Jack Ma-"
"Don't, don't! Call me Jamavun! β
"Oh, Mr. Jamayun, to be honest, your project ......," Tony Stark shook his head helplessly, "It's worth about a dollar." β
"It's only a dollar?" Jia Mayun sighed angrily, "I thought that with my face, I would have to mix a hundred dollars, forget it, one dollar is also earned!" Come on, give the money. β
"No, no, no, you're mistaken, it's not a dollar, it's a piece of Venezuelan money."
"Holy!" Jamayun said angrily: "Now a dollar in Venezuela is not enough to buy half a piece of toilet paper!" β
"Okay, okay, don't quarrel yet, something just happened in Lagos, let's go back to the Avengers headquarters to negotiate first." Zilan shook her head helplessly.
"Okay." Tony Stark then followed Ling Yi and the others aboard the Millennium Falcon and returned to the Avengers Building in New York.
At this time, the news about the Lagos explosion was already playing on the news on TV:
"Just a short time ago, there was a violent explosion in Lagos, it is reported that this is the Avengers fighting against the Hydra mercenaries, there are more than a dozen staff members from the central African country of Wakanda who were visiting Lagos at the time, and at the time of the attack, these dozen Wakandans were injured to varying degrees."
Then, as soon as the camera turns, a resolute black president appears in the interview frame: "The blood of our people is spilled on the territory of foreign countries, not only because of criminal acts, but also because those who claim to be righteous have no mercy, extreme disregard for the lives of civilians, and lack of necessary supervision." Their victory at the expense of innocent lives is not a real victory at all! They are not restricted by the law, and if we indulge them like this, the whole world order will be disrupted by them. β
Tony Stark turned off the TV, "What a mess! Team Steve, why haven't they come back, they have to take full responsibility for this operation. β
Zilan frowned and said: "Tony, you are also responsible for this matter, if you didn't even say hello and directly sent Veronica to the sky above Lagos, I'm afraid it wouldn't have caused such serious consequences." β
Tony Stark said with a face full of grievances: "I'm afraid they won't be able to handle it!" In fact, they really can't handle it, if it weren't for Brother Yi, Crossbones and his men would have run away with the deadly virus! β
Zilan frowned and said: "Look, this is your problem, you always feel that you are the leader, you always want to meddle in everything, you always want to order others, but you have to understand that the commander of this mission is Team Steve, even if you want to help, you should at least ask him what he means first." β
Tony Stark said apologetically, "Well, I'm sorry, I was wrong. It's just that my apology is only for Brother Yi and you, and I won't apologize to that old antique of Team Steve. β
