Marvel World New Magneto

"When the world ends, it's not a bang, it's a boo"

The British poet Thomas Eliot wrote such a sentence in "The Hollow Man", and the scene of this night is exactly the performance of the end.

The communication signal was interrupted, the lights kept flickering, the screen image was distorted, the child burst into sharp cries, and the road was plunged into darkness, as if a monstrous tide of darkness engulfed the city. Buildings were blocked by night, only dim stars scattered in the sky. With a faint light.

It was the most widespread blackout in U.S. history, and few knew it was caused by a mere skirmish between the Eastern Power Grid and Osborne.Until the [-]-hour nightmarish power outage ended, the sound of the collision of trash cans, the opening of the elevator doors of the building, and the roar of subway trains reappeared, and the vast area north of New York City reappeared. The power supply, water supply and transportation in the area have gradually returned to normal.

Through this storm, Stark became the biggest winner.The cost of power generation by the Ark engine is low, and Stark Industries originally had a small self-contained power grid, and it only needs to wait for the customers connected to the power grid to come to sign the agreement.

But Osborne is much inferior in this respect.

This is also inevitable.

Although the operating cost of the new solar system is almost zero, the initial investment is not small. Compared with the old energy collection system costing fifty dollars per square foot, Osborne's new system is more powerful and less expensive, but It is still worth thinking about for ordinary people with a monthly income of two thousand dollars.Moreover, this company did not have energy channels and relationships before, so it was difficult to attract large and important customers for a while.But despite this, it has gained quite a lot after this accident. Some local wealthy people generously placed orders, and some people came from surrounding cities. They no longer want to be troubled by power outages.

In this way, although the new business is not very hot.But at least this company is running close to no loss, and Eric doesn't need to invest too much in it.

For the academy, this is good news worth mentioning. Even for ordinary people who have a good relationship with them, they are delighted that this investment has not failed.

Now they are talking about it.

"Environmental crisis coupled with aging equipment. The three major power grids will only face more and more problems." Mary Jane is sitting at her employer's desk.A mechanical pencil is twirling rapidly. "Hope everyone will buy our products so they can always live in light."

"But that requires government subsidies." It was Gwen Stacy who said this. This lady has always paid attention to this place, and now she and Peter are college classmates. Recently, she has been visiting at noon every day. Anyway, Mary The relationship between Jane and her is neither good nor bad, and she is quite familiar with everyone when she is used to this attitude.

not long ago.Through her chief father.Eric donated several solar sets to the NYPD, so the local police department and Stacey's family were lucky enough not to be hit by a power outage this time around.

Now she is debating new products with Mary Jane.

"According to the social survey I did before, the popularization of new energy is not as bright as the newspapers claim. It still needs the government to increase subsidies, otherwise many people will continue to wait and see. Replacement, but once the turmoil passes, they will return to their previous living conditions."

"Listen. That's the point of view of the elite," Mary Jane sarcastically said. "You're taking ordinary people for fools. They always find problems that need to be fixed. Especially when there are more blackouts and winter is coming soon."

When she mentioned that there were more and more accidents, her tone suddenly became more serious, and at the same time she glanced at the employer next to her. As a close secretary, Eric's movements could not be hidden from her, and this gentleman did not intend to hide it deliberately. Seeing her suggestive look now, Eric could only shrug his shoulders and remain silent.

He is not a destructive madman, of course he will not continue to attack endlessly.Generally speaking, there is always a limit to things. This time, the opponent broke the rules first. Even if it was only done by a shareholder, Eric has reason to take the opportunity to attack, but if he continues to do it day after day for a little profit, even if Forcing opponents to close their doors may not be in line with their long-term plans.

No one wants to deal with a guy who is too cruel. The reason why sunlight is the source of life is because it is warm rather than tyrannical. Eric does not want to be like Norman the Green Goblin. Even his allies have to turn against each other to be at ease.

So he just listened quietly, and the conversation between the two girls continued.

Gwen disagreed with Mary Jane, but her tone was soft.

"I believe that more and more people will choose new solar energy. It is indeed excellent. My father's colleagues and my friends are all planning to install it in their own homes, but we must also see that its cost really requires low and middle income. People think about it, they are the largest customer base. If they are in a state of flux and there is no urgent need, then there is a good chance that they will remain where they are.”

As she was talking, there was a sound of footsteps, and Osborn's young president and his Spider-Man friend walked in. They hadn't seen each other for a while, and now he has completely stepped out of his father's shadow, his expression became vigorous, and his eyes were full of young people Unique confidence and sharpness.

"It makes sense." It was rare that his career started to stabilize, and Harry finally had time to visit his girlfriend, but as soon as he walked in, he heard someone talking about his career, so his attention immediately focused on Gwen.

The promotion of the super roof solar power generation system is in progress, and the social evaluation is quite good, even on top of Stark Industries' civilian electric motor, but the market reaction is relatively flat, and there will always be someone willing to spend a sum of money in this country with frequent power outages Buy worry-free equipment, but unfortunately they are not mainstream yet.

Now seeing a beautiful girl talking about his concerns, Harry ignored his girlfriend and immediately listened attentively.

Mary Jane didn't say anything when she saw her boyfriend's performance. She quietly listened to Gwen's point of view, which was confirmed by Eric's previous words, which gave her more experience and a deeper understanding.From a personal point of view, she doesn't dislike Gwen. Their different backgrounds give them different perspectives. In the past, Mary Jane, the girl next door, might have been a little disappointed, but after getting enough room for growth from Eric, the secretary Miss is very different from before, she is far from being as sensitive and vulnerable as before.

"For new things, if it is not an irreplaceable revolutionary creation, there will usually be a long development process. In the general trend, it will keep growing. With the expansion of the basic user base, the development speed will be faster and faster, and suddenly One day its previous accumulation may be re-recognized by the market and burst out. This day may be a positive change in user demand, or it may be extra attention brought by unexpected events. But if you want to receive good results at the beginning If there is no market effect, there must be policy support.”

After Gwen finished speaking, she noticed Harry staring at her closely. She smiled embarrassedly, and added that this was her personal thought.

"No, don't be so cautious." Harry's eyes lit up, and he praised the girl enthusiastically. "I think your idea is very good, in fact we are also lobbying the White House, but the power grid pays more than us-this is ridiculous, the three major power grids would rather spend money on PR than improve them It is a group of short-sighted fools who condemn our advanced products in turn, and they are simply a stumbling block to social development."

Harry's accusation was understandable, but it was too much to treat his opponent as a fool.

Mary Jane pursed her lips, and turned her gaze to Eric who was slowly drinking tea on the other side.She has heard comments from her employers that due to the characteristics of super-large-scale projects, the upgrade and transformation of the power grid is extremely expensive, and the cost far exceeds the return. Moreover, due to depreciation issues, it will not take long for new equipment to be as old as the previous ones. Unbearable, routine maintenance and timely replacement is the correct way for reasonable operation.You must know that the larger and more complex the structure, the more likely it is to go wrong. Instead of being exhausted in the process of upgrading and repairing, it is better to inject the saved profits into new research and replace outdated ones with brand new structures. part.

This is exactly the case with the smart grid. Without the epoch-making new technology of Stark and Osborn, it may become the subject of grid facilities investment in the next stage. Enterprises and individuals will be able to freely share this delicious meal.

Now all the two new energy companies have to do is replace those old table diners, or at least sit at the table with them and share the right to eat.

Compared with his employer, Harry's attitude is frivolous and radical, and Mary Jane doesn't like it very much. She appreciates Eric's words more - you can underestimate other people's products, but you can't underestimate other people's wisdom.

Gwen obviously had the same opinion on this point. After she politely greeted Harry, she excused her lunch break and left.

Watching the beautiful back disappear, Harry thought of his girlfriend who had been visiting on purpose, but at this time the secretary lady had also re-entered the intense work, so he could only stare at the owner with empty hands in a daze.

Eric gave him a gentle and sympathetic smile, as if he had seen through the embarrassment in his heart. Harry was even more embarrassed. Fortunately, he still had Peter, his best friend in high school, who intervened in time and had a drink with Eric. After afternoon tea for a while, the two of them went downstairs shoulder to shoulder.

The afternoon sun is warm and makes people drowsy.Eric bathed in the sun and quietly thought about it. Now that the matter of Osborne has been initially resolved, it is time to leave for Washington. (to be continued~^~)
