Chapter 177: Stark's press conference
In fact, for Tony Stark, Mei Jiecao herself is also a little worried. Tony is so good that if there were no exceptions, he would still be a major force in the battle against Thanos.
Compared with the weak American team, Iron Man's strength in that battle is second only to MVP Thor Thor, and is on par with Doctor Strange, which is definitely the top three.
There are too many conflicts and incompatibilities between mechanics and magic. Mei Jiecao is unwilling to get nothing like this, so he can only start from other aspects.
Although as early as World War II, he took a stake in Stark Industries and hit a nail in it, but this does not mean that everything is fine.
At the level of Iron Man's high technology, even if Tony slowly explained to him Mei for 10,000 hours, Mei Xuezhu would not understand.
This is the insurmountable gulf between mortals and scholars.
Ethan is different.
As the core assistant who helped Tony develop a generation of Iron Man, his mechanical knowledge is definitely the top in the industry, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to read the drawings. Being able to work with the smartest and brightest people in the Marvel world is a manifestation of ability in itself.
With him, Mei Jiecao has the opportunity to really get the core technology from Stark Industries.
So it was obviously Mei who was patient, and she had to put down her shelf to recruit Ethan.
He saw Ethan's hesitation, and could only magnify his move: "I seriously suspect that another partner of Stark Industries, Obadis Stein, is in collusion with the terrorists. It's a pity I don't have enough evidence. So until the truth comes out, I will want you to hide and serve me at the same time. ”
After listening to Mei's explanation, Ethan smiled: "Mr. Mei, in fact, you don't have to do this part. Everyone has their own secrets. I don't know why you did this on purpose, so I saved me from you, and I am willing to serve you. If you wish, I'll hide your magic from you. ”
Almost the moment Ethan agreed, Mei Mumu finally heard the long-lost system prompt sound.
"Congratulations to the host, you managed to save Dr. Ethan, who was supposed to die in the Iron Man series. You gain 5 Destiny Offset Points. ”
There aren't many offset points, so it's a start.
Ethan suffered a lot of flesh wounds, and for a scientific researcher who was not very strong, he had to recuperate for a while.
At this time, Tony had been found by a search helicopter of the US military yesterday, and after a long journey, he flew back to New York in a military plane accompanied by Colonel James Rhodes.
As soon as he opened the cabin door at the back of the military plane and stepped down, Tony saw the stretcher and the paramedics.
"I'll just say it once, and let that thing disappear from my sight!" Tony was still domineering.
James gave a color, and the paramedics stepped back.
Tony then sees his personal assistant, Pepper Pepper, and his most trusted driver, bodyguard, Harpy. The two tried their best to hide their excitement and tears in the corners of their eyes, but this sincere affection moved Tony even more.
Facing Pepper, Tony did not lose his demeanor and humor: "Your eyes are red?
Pepper smiled brightly, "I'm happy! I hate going out and looking for a job." ”
Tony shrugged, "yes! Your vacation is over." ”
After getting into the car, Harpy put on his sunglasses: "Where are you going? ”
Pepper was about to talk about going to the hospital, but Tony had already interrupted: "Don't go to the hospital!
"You have to go to the hospital!"
"I won't go!"
"I've been locked up for so long, I just want to do two things right now: one is to eat a cheeseburger and the other is to ......"
"I know, you womanizer!" Pepper was completely distempered with Tony.
"No, I'm going to have a press conference. ”
"Ugh. Pepper finally felt that his boss was a little different.
"Yes, the stock price has dropped a lot during my absence, right?" asked Tony casually. Of course, he knows what is going on in his company.
"It's okay, as long as you come back. ”
Originally, Tony wanted to say that "the stock price will continue to fall", but Pepper's answer made Tony frown on the spot.
"On the day of your disappearance, we found out that a predator entered the market early to short the stock of [Stark Industries]. Now that he started to get down to business, Pepper also became a little angry: "That bastard kidnaps you while sucking blood on Stark Industries with a large number of secret offshore accounts!"
As the smartest brain superman in the Marvel world, Tony instinctively noticed that something was wrong: "Did that mysterious predator leave?"
"Leave!" Pepper gritted his teeth, "Just an hour before we received that you were rescued by the U.S. military, you went shorting perfectly, got your money clean and left, and all the money was remitted to the tax havens of the Faroe Islands, Panama, and the Marshall Islands." That bastard made $60 billion, to say the least!"
Tony shook his head, "No! If anyone really colluded with that Afghan dog mongrel, they would never use such a shoddy way. If I hadn't died in Afghanistan, it would have been telling me that I had a ghost around me......"
"Inside the ghost!?" Pepper and Harpy were startled.
This word, the striking surface is too narrow.
Yes, that means that there was a pretty high-level guy in Stark Industries, and it was the guy who knew Tony's itinerary who betrayed Tony.
Pepper was a little hesitant: "Could it be Stark's big shareholder who never appeared......"
"Come on, I don't even know if that guy or his family is still alive. Tony rolled his eyes: "And if I'm dead or kidnapped, it won't do that big shareholder Mr. good at all." ”
Actually, Tony had already thought of something......
The news of Tony Stark's safe return immediately made headlines across the United States. Originally, Tony was the darling of the press, whether it was his wealth, genius, or topicality.
Now a well-hailed patriot and national hero who has been captured by Afghan warlords and narrowly escaped on his own will definitely make headlines.
Almost as soon as the news broke, Stark Industries' stock price soared like a rocket.
An emergency press conference attracted the attention of all the big media, and more than 100 reporters rushed to the press conference hall.
They saw a Tony who was approachable like never before.
"Sit down, everyone, don't be so tired. In front of hundreds of reporters, Tony ate a cheeseburger with nostalgia for the taste of his hometown, while sitting on the floor tile in front of the podium of the press conference, and said a news that shocked the whole United States.
"I watched young American soldiers killed, dead under the weapons I would have used to protect them. I also see that I am becoming part of this accountless world. ”
"I'm sober! I think I can contribute more to the world than just making weapons. ”
"So, I've decided to shut down the weapons department of Stark Enterprise!"
