When Downey Wears a Tin Can [Comprehensive British and American]

The news that Stark Enterprises will temporarily hold an emergency meeting today has been placed on the table of government officials from various countries before notifying other directors.

Because Stark Enterprises is currently the military's number one arms supplier, in order to appease the surrounding forces, the United Nations has stipulated that every meeting of Stark Enterprises must be completely open, so the next day, before the meeting started, the official media of various countries The camera has been set up at the end of the meeting room, and the meeting will be broadcast live to the world after a short delay.

Although everyone knows that this is just a superficial effort, because the government does not want to make it public, even if they set up [-] cameras, they will not hear a little bit of wind.

"Help me change a monochrome tie, Happy." In the break room next to the meeting room, Downey untied the tie around his neck and handed it to Tony Stark's driver and bodyguard, Happy Hogan, "This one is too expensive. .”

Happy looked at the red and white striped tie that was his boss's favorite before, and without saying anything, turned around and changed to a monochrome tie.

After Donny re-tied his tie, he looked at the mirror next to him, then brushed his hair on his forehead: "Perfect."

He sat on the sofa, and the bodyguard next to him said at this moment: "You don't look well, boss."

Of course, his complexion is not very good. Yesterday, in order to complete the anti-intelligence strike helmet and the preliminary research and development concept of the new energy that Stark wrote half, he worked until six in the morning before returning to the room to rest. Just one and a half hours.

Then I have to come over at eight o'clock for the nine o'clock meeting.

Fortunately, his brain is still awake, except for the sudden pain in his temples and the two dark circles under his eyes, there is no other effect.

"Probably because I didn't have a good rest yesterday, it's not important." Downey looked down at the manuscript on the table casually. At this moment, there was a restless human voice outside the rest room. He looked up at Happy, "It's time." ?”

Happy looked down at the phone: "The directors are already here, boss."

Downey nodded, threw the manuscript back on the table, picked up the glasses pinned to the suit pocket with one hand, put them on the bridge of his nose, and walked out of the rest room.

The moment the door of the meeting room opened, the sound of pressing the shutter almost drowned him out.

In the huge conference room, the circular conference table was full of directors of all the companies under the Stark Group. Behind them was a piece of media, which made a group meeting look like a press conference.

And as a star who is used to facing the media, he always maintains his best state when facing the camera.

Downey stood at the head of the conference table, wearing a well-ironed suit and a pair of light red sunglasses. His hair was neatly combed back, revealing a handsome and confident face. He looked at the conference table The size of the directors, tearing the corners of their mouths, gave them a friendly enough.

Fake laugh.

An hour before waiting for the meeting, Downey failed to figure out why Stark's clean energy plan was stillborn through the information he had, but he learned another thing through the smart housekeeper, which is about those In the news that smears Iron Man overwhelmingly—although not most of them, there are also many written by other directors of Stark Enterprises.

Downey didn't quite know whether those directors did this out of personal grievances with Tony Stark, they still had ulterior motives, and he didn't believe that Tony Stark would not know this.

He just doesn't care.

Downey glanced over the directors at the front, then moved closer to the sitting microphone in front of him, and cleared his throat.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. I just calculated according to the schedule. I found that the last time I appeared in Stark Enterprises seemed to be—" He paused, and said in an uncertain tone, "Two month ago?"

There was a small laugh from the media in the back row.

Downey picked up the manuscript on the table, and after a brief opening, he directly cut to the topic: "The purpose of holding this temporary meeting today is mainly to establish a new project, which will also become the main research direction and focus of Stark Enterprises in the future. , about new clean energy.”

As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and synchronized the data to the huge screen behind him. On it was an overview of new energy sources and preliminary research and development ideas he wrote all night yesterday.The directors waited quietly for their chairman to introduce them to this sudden new project, and then.

They saw the chairman's fingers quickly swipe across the phone, and the information on the screen flashed quickly with almost no pause, and finally reached the end after more than ten seconds.

Downey turned his back to the big official words "The report is over, thank you for watching" on the big screen, and said into the microphone: "Anyway, all the materials are in your hands and you can read them yourself."

Big and small directors: "..."

After the person above finished speaking, he continued: "Next is the focus of this meeting."

He didn't pause, and didn't give the directors and the media time to accept. He smiled and said to the camera: "After this year's contract expires, I will terminate my cooperation with the military. After that, Stark Enterprises will close all related departments. Complete transformation into the largest supplier of clean energy, providing green and clean energy new gas fuels to the world will become the main industry of the company in the future.”

There was an uproar in the audience.

As the only industrial leader in the country standing side by side with Wayne Enterprises, Stark Enterprises owns medical, petroleum, mining and other diversified industrial chains. Their biggest competitive bargaining chip is that they provide arms to the national and global military and terminate arms cooperation. Not only is it self-defeating, but it will undoubtedly have a considerable impact on the status of the group in the political circle.

The first person to react was the director of the company who was in charge of the arms business, and he was also the one who bribed the media to smear Tony Stark the most viciously among the news that Downey learned.

The middle-aged bald director immediately stood up from his seat, and the seat rubbed against the ground making a harsh sound: "Mr. Stark, I hope you can seriously consider this matter. This is not a joke. As the group's Chairman—"

"I am the chairman of the group." Downey interrupted the director, "I am the controlling shareholder of this company, so I have the final say. If you agree with me, then I welcome you to stand up and express your opinion. If you don't Agree, and please keep your mouth shut."

"Because I don't want to hear it."

Facing the global live media, the director's face turned red all of a sudden.

The Avengers flew back to Manhattan from Siberia in a Quinjet at nine o'clock in the morning.

After returning to the Avengers Building, Barton immediately dropped the quiver he was carrying and sat on the sofa.

"I can finally rest. God knows how tired I have been these two days. I only slept for less than an hour last night. My dark circles must be bigger than my face."

He turned on the TV conveniently: "I don't know if some media will repeat my heroic appearance in Siberia. I think my appearance when dealing with the group of mechanical mutants is really so handsome that it explodes."

He tuned the channel to the news station, where there was no report on the Avengers, only a global live broadcast of an emergency meeting of Stark Enterprises.

"What is this?" Barton looked at Downey's face on the screen, "Why is he on TV again?"

He looked at Dr. Banner next to him, and the doctor shook his head: "I don't really know."

Then it becomes clear to them right away.

From the light-screen TV came a magnetic, cadenced voice as if it had been professionally trained.

"I have never been someone who is unwilling to listen to opinions, so I will launch a vote for all shareholders later on the decision of Stark Enterprises to transform and develop new clean energy and terminate cooperation with military arms. There must be many of them.”

The man in the suit put down the microphone in his hand, spread his hands facing the camera, and showed a confident smile: "But of course, I also hope that you can understand that listening to opinions and accepting opinions are two different things."

After he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers: "So."

"Dismiss."

Avengers Hall.

on the sofa.

"He's not going to sell bazookas?"

Barton looked at the other Avengers in a daze: "Is he going to change his career to sell gasoline?"
