Marvel turns into Iron Man

Chapter 109 Chapter 109 Is she crazy?

Out of interest considerations, perhaps in order to obtain greater benefits at the right time, the $500 billion arms order reached between Stark Industries and the US Department of Defense was not directly announced, but was suppressed.

After negotiating with Miss Stark, the news that she returned to New York City safely was also suppressed by Obadiah who returned to the acting position of the group president.

Within the entire group, only Obadiah and Miss Stark's personal assistant Pepper, the young girl with a hot temper like a little pepper, knew that Miss Stark had returned to the United States safely.

These two kinds of news are all trump cards that are beneficial to her. Only by turning them over at the right time can she get more benefits for her. Therefore, she hopes to hide them temporarily, sit back and watch the group's stock dive, and wait for the shareholders to sell their shares.

Of course, in order to persuade the old man Obadiah Stein to cooperate with her actions, she promised that after the matter was over, she would transfer a small part of the shares to this man who had worked hard for Stark Industries for decades. The old hero of the day.

Money touches people's hearts, and she is already familiar with this principle—she is already very familiar with how to use interests as bait to lure the desires in others' hearts to achieve her ultimate goal.

Dr. Ethan's current identity is inconvenient to disclose. She arranged for Jarvis to prepare a false identity for him, turning the scholar from the Middle East into a native-born American immigrant with his own green card status.

He temporarily lived in the private hotel of Aoshi Enterprises. It is nothing to arrange a top-level suite for a long-term stay. At the same time, he also got a credit card with a monthly consumption limit of [-] US dollars. Shame on others.

It's a pity......Although there is no need to worry about any life problems anymore, Dr. Ethan still can't take it easy. He went to the bookstore to buy a lot of design books and stayed in the hotel. Dive into the ocean of knowledge thoroughly.

Regarding this, Miss Stark expressed helplessness, but she didn't mean to bother him, because she knew how important a good hobby and ideal is to a person.

Dr. Ethan's eyes were not corrupted by money just because he came to the capitalist country of the United States. His performance made Miss Stark very satisfied, so he was naturally allowed to go.

As for herself, she secretly returned to the penthouse in the Stark Industrial Building, preparing for the next action plan, and thinking about a more important thing.

"Jarvis, you said... If I shut down the group's weapons research and development department, stop arms sales, wait until the stock price plummets, and then restart the arms sales network after we buy back the bottom, such behavior, in the end Doesn’t it constitute fraud of a commercial nature?”

When Miss Stark asked Jarvis the question she had considered for a long time, and wanted to get his opinion for reference, Jarvis could be said to be unprecedented, and was silent for more than ten seconds for the first time.

"...The system has not found the relevant restrictions in the relevant financial bills, but your rebellious behavior is easily resisted by multiple forces. As for the specific results, I am also very difficult Judgment, miss."

Jarvis was silent for several seconds, as if surprised by her thoughts, and as if he was simply searching the data files in the database, and finally gave an ambiguous answer.

"You know, my dear, our family's weapon sales are not based on high quality and low price, but on the weapon technology they can't refuse."

Sitting on the sofa, Miss Stark put her arms around her chest, shook her head lightly, and said slowly, as she said, Stark Industries Group's arms sales network has never relied on the power of not being too big and controlling everything. , but from technical means that cannot be replaced.

Through the dumping of weapons in World War II and the completion of the original capital accumulation, in the hands of Howard, the core concept of the Stark Industries Group began to change, from cheap industrial products on the assembly line to the path of innovative development.

Countless new technology weapons have been developed and used on the battlefield, and are regarded as the core means for Stark Industries to expand the company's size.

Just like the Jericho missile that Ms. Stark sold to the US military, the actual cost was less than 50 US dollars, but it was sold at a unit price of [-] million. Naturally, it was irreplaceable by Stark Industries Technical ability, and the shameless shame of businessmen.

The Jericho missile has the lethality of a nuclear bomb at the same level as a weapon, but there is no need to worry about the radiation of the nuclear bomb, the restrictions of the convention and other issues. Naturally, it has become a new technical weapon that the US military has to buy and install.

If she announces that she will stop the group's weapons development and sales, it can be said that she will cut off the lifeblood of the Stark Industries Group and burn her father's life's hard work. I am afraid it will not take a few hours. Under the exaggeration of the media, Will be labeled as a prodigal son.

What kind of reputation he bears is not important, what is important is that when Stark Industries, a military industrial group, stops its arms sales business, anyone will think that this giant dragon that has been at the top of the industry for decades will In an instant, people robbed the market and divided it up like a cake.

That being the case, who else would keep the stocks and group shares in their hands, waiting for them to shrink and drag themselves to death?

"Jarvis, help me contact Obadiah—wait a moment, tell Pepper first, and help me find a trustworthy makeup artist. I want to fake my injury and control people after I put on makeup. I don’t want the pretense to be exposed, give him a sum of money after the matter is over, and shut his mouth.”

As she said that, Miss Stark took out her mobile phone and dialed the old guy Obadiah Stein. After the call was answered, she talked with Obadiah for more than half an hour. Just hung up the phone.

Just a few hours later, Stark Industries, which was watched by the media 24 hours a day, released a big news that the CEO of Stark Industries returned to the United States safely.

Moreover, the president who narrowly escaped will hold a press conference at the headquarters of the Stark Industries Group that night, and invite the media to come at the same time.

The news of the president's return surprised the board of directors of the group, and at the same time inspired the employees, because her return is equivalent to announcing that the remaining stocks in their hands will recover, or even rise even higher, and naturally spare no effort to spread the news , let more people know.

The financial market is linked to the news, and any disturbance will cause changes in the market. When the news came out, the entire media world exploded like a bomb was ignited.

With the deliberate cooperation of the Stark Industries Group, the news has spread overwhelmingly to every corner of the United States, and the press conference that night has become an existence that everyone wants to witness with their own eyes.

In terms of gossip, human beings have a common nature. They want to know what happened to the beautiful and beautiful female president in the war zone, and whether she has been given this or that by terrorists.

However, they are more concerned about whether their stock and financial markets will be affected by this incident, and what the final result will be.

Fortunately, more than a dozen cable TV networks covering the United States have announced that they have sent teams to participate in the press conference and broadcast it live. At the same time, several online news media have also indicated that they will conduct live broadcasts and videos, and post them on the Internet. , for more viewing.

Since the announcement of the press conference, the stock of Stark Industries, which had been falling continuously, suddenly raised its head and showed a tendency to take off. All this, in the eyes of Miss Stark, only made people She sneered mockingly.

"Laugh, look, the higher you fly, the harder you fall—"

As she spoke, she casually placed the tablet in her hand on the seat of the Rolls-Royce, but her eyes fell on the face of Pepper who followed.

"How's the make-up artist doing?"

"People have been controlled, and all means of communication have been confiscated, but isn't this kind of behavior a bit inappropriate?"

Hearing Miss Stark's words, Pepper was stunned for a moment, and then said, with a worried expression on his face involuntarily.

As Pepper said, she helped Miss Stark find a familiar makeup artist, and left a lot of camouflaged scars on Miss Stark's body with makeup techniques.

They even brought in a professional doctor to help her issue an injury certificate, and at the same time forged a fractured appearance for her arm, wrapped it in plaster, and fixed it on her neck with a special strap.

However, those people were all controlled by Miss Stark's security team, and all the communication equipment was confiscated at the same time, because Miss Stark didn't want her fake injury to be exposed and become evidence against herself.

She often sees the godfather-style characters in those gangster-themed movies arresting someone to ask for information, and then gives a warning, which makes people tremble with fright, and swears that no information will be leaked, but she did not expect that she would There is also a day when this means is used.

Of course, they will definitely be compensated afterwards, and their mouths will be gagged with a compensation they cannot refuse.

"It can only be hard work for you during this time, my dear."

Hearing Miss Stark's words, Pepper nodded slightly, the expression on her face did not change much, she was still a little angry and resentful.

As if aware of the smell of gunpowder and resentment on Pepper's body, Miss Stark stretched out her hand, gently embraced Pepper's waist, felt the slender waist, and rested her head On the opponent's shoulder, there was a sly smile on his face.

"Okay, don't be angry, we will go to Dubai in a while, I want to use a late birthday party as compensation, what do you think?"

Hearing her words, Pepper turned his head, his face was full of surprise - she knew her boss very well, she didn't even bother to remember the password of her credit card, how could she remember the birthday of one of her assistants Woolen cloth?

Regarding the birthday party, Pepper showed an undeniable attitude. Although Miss Stark said that she wanted to compensate her with a party, she always felt that it was Miss Stark who wanted to have a party to enjoy the fun. Just as an excuse to make up for her birthday party.

When the luxury car of Rolls-Royce arrived in front of the parliament hall of the headquarters of Stark Industries Group, before anyone came out, a group of reporters had already rushed over, gathered in front of the parliament hall, and waited for the security personnel to set up Outside the blockade, he frantically took pictures in the direction of the vehicle.

It takes a few hours from New York to Washington, and the time has already approached the scheduled time of the press conference. News media reporters and camera teams from various channels such as cable TV and the Internet have flocked here, wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to find out what big news. news.

Miss Stark's car was the last to arrive, and her arrival seemed to announce that the press conference would start as soon as possible, and here, Miss Stark had already seen many familiar faces.

For example, Lieutenant Colonel James Rhodes, who was wearing a dark military uniform, was looking in her direction with concern. God knows when he came back from the Middle East, but it might not be long after he came back.

Norman Osborn, the mayor of New York City, brought a group of politicians from the New York City government to the headquarters of the Stark Industries Group to attend the press conference held by Miss Stark, probably Sending a special message, or...showing loyalty?

In the distance, you can still see Matt Murdoch in a dark red suit, the director of the legal department of the disaster management company, standing next to Matt is Captain America Rogers, Miss Stark can't understand how these two people Got together.

Standing beside Rogers was a familiar face, Phil Coulson, who was talking and laughing happily with his idol looking in her direction. As the right-hand man of the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Agent Coulson should represent the former S.H.I.E.L.D. Come on, show that the Bureau attaches great importance to her, or in other words...

And when Miss Stark noticed the black bald one-eyed dragon hidden in the crowd in the distance, the expression on her face suddenly froze.

"Oh, damn it, why is Nick Fury here, what is he doing here when he has nothing to do?"

Obadiah Stein, who had already put on a black evening dress, stood among the directors with a standard smile on his face, but after the vehicle in which Miss Stark arrived, the smile on his face became even more Hair shines brightly.

Ignoring the thoughts of the directors of the group around him, Obadiah passed through the crowd, walked forward slowly, and actively opened the car door next to Miss Stark, took her hand, and helped her out.

With a bright smile on his face, he held Miss Stark's only movable arm, and the two stood side by side in front of the media reporters, accepting the shining of the spotlight and the sound of snapping pictures.

"In order to play this game with you, I gambled my coffin. Girl, if you lose this game, you will be responsible for my retirement."

Obadiah tilted his head, leaned close to Miss Stark's ear, and spoke softly in a voice that only she could hear, but his face was still calm, as if nothing had happened.

"Don't worry, old man, you just have to watch how I make money—I'm sure you'll be scared to death."

Miss Stark shrugged slightly, withdrew her arm from the opponent's hand, and also spoke slowly in a voice that only Obadiah could hear.

There are marks of injury all over her body, and it was done by a professional special effects makeup artist. As long as you don't look carefully, almost no one can see the problem, and she will not let people approach her at will. He could only watch from a distance, and naturally thought that she was really injured.

With her identity, the chairman of a top military enterprise in the world was kidnapped in a war zone, but suddenly returned to the United States and appeared in front of the public. Almost everyone was wondering how she escaped.

And half an hour later, when all the media reporters and the people who broadcast the video on TV were ready in the parliament hall, after the guests filled the seats in the hall, with the help of Obadiah, Miss Stark came To the podium in the parliament hall.

"I believe there are still many people who know what happened to me-yes, yes, I was kidnapped."

And at the beginning of this press conference, she directly dropped a blockbuster, as a prelude to this press conference, in the audience and in the hall, except for a few people, almost everyone With a surprised expression.

"I was kidnapped by a terrorist organization called the Ten Rings. They didn't want a ransom, and they didn't let me contact the country. They asked me to make weapons for them, which is the third model of the Stark Industries Group Freedom Series." The product, code-named Jellicoe, is a short- and medium-range combo bomb."

The test video of the Jericho missile was sent back to the United States as early as when Miss Stark was kidnapped and disappeared, and was uploaded to major video sites by unknown people. No one knew what happened.

But the power of the Jericho missile did surprise and even scare everyone.

The U.S. military already had the technology of parent bombs as early as the Cold War, but due to technical and material technical problems, parent bombs have not been taken seriously, but they are widely used to attack large targets, and often As a result, civilians were injured.

In fact, most of the time, the world is resistant to such things as child bombs, but the resistance is not as strong as that of nuclear weapons, and even signed such things as the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to limit nuclear weapons.

When a new type of parent bomb that is as powerful as nuclear weapons but does not need to bear radiation and other problems and is not restricted by the treaty appears, naturally, most people who know this matter have to consider a problem, that is, if this weapon falls When it comes to my head, what should I do.

The Jericho missile of Stark Industries has extraordinary power. If it is controlled by terrorists, the result will be fatal.

"They forced me to make weapons for them, but instead of doing so, I took the opportunity to use the materials they gave me to create a new type of weapon, which allowed me to crawl out of hell alive and send them to hell by the way .”

Miss Stark's acting skills are exceptionally superb. She pretends to lean on the podium, showing a seriously injured and weak look, but she always wins some sympathy from others.

Especially in her words, the things she experienced made the people present look surprised, and even felt incredible.

"I once asked Howard, I asked him if he considered that the company's weapons would be used by the enemy to attack us, I asked him if he ever contradicted, if he ever questioned, he didn't answer me-and in this short In a few days, in that chaotic area, I saw too many people die under the guns I created to protect them."

Hearing this, someone's face had already shown a thoughtful expression. On the stage, Miss Stark looked around, her eyes passed over the faces of the group of people on the board of directors of the group, and found that they were also listening to her speech intently. .

Miss Stark sneered in her heart, but she didn't show it, because she was about to throw out her own bomb, which would shake the entire market and damage the interests of the Stark Industries Group. The board of directors will be affected, but sorry.

"I know that everything I've experienced, to your ears, is just the result of a fantasy story, but it's different for me."

"What I want to tell you is that I, and only I, crawled out of that hell full of blood and nightmares."

As she spoke, she took a deep breath, brewing her emotions, and the reporters in the audience also noticed something, and opened their eyes one after another, staring closely at the woman in suit on the podium, as if waiting for something .

"Because I have gone through all this, I will stand here and send out my voice to the world-from today, Stark Industries Group will abolish the weapons research and development department, shut down all arms trade and Manufacture, I will destroy all weapons and equipment in stock, and stop any weapon orders with any party!"

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar in the audience, as if she had thrown a grenade with the safety off in the crowd, and the reporters rushed to the podium like crazy, holding the microphones in their hands high, and the cameras on the camera equipment The flashing lights came and went, and the crowd was so angry that everyone was a little dumbfounded.

Most of the guests had the same idea—I heard something, the lady from Stark Industries said in front of the public that she would shut down Stark Industries’ arms sales network, and she quit. This is true. Are you kidding me, isn't today April Fool's Day? ? ?

And those who represent the news media, they are like sharks smelling blood, they have already noticed the result, this is definitely the biggest news hot spot in recent weeks, and it is also a step up for them.

With this result, these media professionals will naturally not remain reserved and resign, but rush to the core of the hot news, which is the direction of Miss Stark, and then they are stopped by the security personnel.

The board of directors of the group occupied a corner of the conference hall, and while Miss Stark was speaking, the expressions on their faces could be said to have changed several tones, first pale, then greenish, and finally black as ashes.

Her behavior can be said to have directly dug out the roots of the Stark Industries Group and ruined her father's lifelong efforts. Is she crazy, are we crazy, or is this world crazy?
