I'm a hero in Marvel

Tony is a man who is good at creating surprises, whether it is the unimaginable weapons he launched in his early years as an arms dealer, or the sudden announcement of the closure of the weapons manufacturing department of the Stark Group, or even his big moves in the field of new energy, every press release always makes people look forward to what surprises he will bring. Especially when everyone speculates that he is about to launch civilian products.

At this moment, Tony Stark could swear that everything that happened next, including all subsequent events, had nothing to do with him. He swore on his thick hair that everything he said was true.

Wal-Mart's Americas Operations Purchasing Manager and Carrefour's Global Purchasing Manager sit next to each other. In the retail industry, both Wal-Mart and Carrefour are giants, with Wal-Mart having a slight advantage. As the supermarket overlord, Wal-Mart controls the world's most critical retail sales channels. This large company can always obtain various privileges, such as lowering supplier prices and requiring large quantities of goods to be delivered quickly.

For Walmart, this is normal, because in this era, channels are king. Whoever controls the channels will have the last laugh. But now, traditional retail is suffering from a strong impact from online sales, especially in the Chinese market. Thanks to the popularity of Jack Ma's Taobao, online shopping has become a new way of shopping.

In order to regain lost ground, traditional retailers must make some improvements and have their own unique products. Therefore, in Wal-Mart or Carrefour supermarkets, you can see some special products that are only sold in these supermarkets. These large retailers integrate supplier resources and develop products that are only sold in these supermarkets, such as low-priced and high-quality cooking oil and grain, or T-shirts, hats, and sometimes even customized metal furniture.

Today, the global retail and cosmeceutical giants gathered together, all because of a sentence Tony Stark said on the invitation: New products will not be sold online. This means that Tony's new products will go through the traditional retail route. Although everyone is still unclear about what the new products are, it does not prevent them from guessing.

The Carrefour representative asked Wal-Mart representative Smith: "What new products do you think Tony will launch?"

Smith shrugged. "I don't know. The last time Mr. Stark released a shocking civilian product was a hover car, which is now on the market on a large scale."

"He bypassed the Stark Group this time and is likely not involved in heavy industrial products. It is unlikely to be something like cars, Dyson."

The Dyson representative from Carrefour nodded: "If it's light industry or daily necessities, I haven't heard that Mr. Stark has done in-depth research in this area."

"Could it be a personal hovering vehicle? Applying the car's hovering technology to a single-person device?" Smith speculated.

Nowadays, there are many single-person mobility scooters in cities. Although there is a certain market, it is not large. If they are transformed into floating types, they should be more popular.

AFP reporter Jason and Xinhua reporter Zhou Hai also speculated in this direction: "Do you think it might be a product related to suspension technology?" Zhou Hai asked.

Jason nodded. "Yes, Tony Stark pursues speed. In addition to the hover car, he may launch more similar products." He analyzed it clearly. "Have you seen Back to the Future? In that classic movie, the protagonist traveled to 2015. In addition to the hover car, he also got a hoverboard! Although the hover car was launched two years later than the movie predicted, if Tony Stark launched a hoverboard, it would also be a good selling point. 'We have realized the dream of Back to the Future'. What do you think?"

The two were discussing with great interest. Almost everyone was guessing technology and machinery, and the most outrageous guess was electronic products related to AR and VR, because this was Tony Stark's usual research direction.

When the press conference time arrived, after the host's lengthy opening remarks, Starleon, the product project manager of Sugon, came on stage. He was nearly sixty years old and full of energy. Tony and Pepper did not host the event in person, perhaps because they were embarrassed.

Starleon started the speech concisely: "I think you must be very curious about what kind of surprises Tony Stark, the outstanding scientist and philanthropist, who has changed the world countless times, will bring this time!"

Everyone was eagerly waiting for it. After all, this product launch was broadcast live by 25 online media outlets and could be seen by people from all corners of the world. The new energy released by Tony Stark last time had profoundly changed the world, so this new product launch had more than 90 million viewers watching it live online around the world.

Netizen A asked: "Will he launch something that will change the world this time?"

Netizen B responded: "It's hard to say. I heard that the news revealed at the scene was that it was just a civilian product."

Netizen C firmly believes: "Tony Stark will not let us down! He was born to change the world!" It seems that he is a die-hard Iron Man fan.

However, in the secret base of the Illuminati, Tony buried his face deeply between his knees. He did not dare to look up at the computer screen, for fear that his reputation would be ruined after the new product was announced.

"Cheer up, Tony, this is also a good thing that can change the world." Li Jie sat next to Tony and encouraged him.

"No, can you turn the computer around? I don't want to see what happens next." Tony covered his face with his hands. He could no longer accept the fact that he was going to sell hair growth water. This was completely inconsistent with his image.

Iron Man should be researching high-end fields such as machinery, supercars and new energy, so why was he persuaded by Li Jie to start a company to sell hair growth water? Although the Illuminati is indeed short of money.

But whether Tony was willing to face it or not, what he was worried about finally happened. At the press conference, Starleon announced with excitement: "Now, I want to introduce to you a product that can change the world! This is the new technology product that Tony Stark has spent several years to develop - Dawn 101 Hair Growth Toner!"

Tony, who was far away in Rome, huddled on the sofa, covering his ears with his hands, feeling extremely embarrassed. It was so embarrassing, so embarrassing! He had never known what embarrassment was, but now he experienced it.

At the press conference, when Starion unveiled the name of the product and announced that it works as a hair growth water, the whole place fell silent.

"WTF?" Smith, the Wal-Mart representative, couldn't help but curse. Tony Stark was selling hair growth water? He felt that he might have attended a fake press conference, and the Tony Stark who was invited was also fake! He was still good, at least he could react.

The other delegates and journalists were all in a state of ecstasy, as if they had just seen Voldemort cast the petrification spell in the Harry Potter movies. On the live streaming platform, many netizens also suddenly became speechless, as if they had forgotten how to type, and the comment section suddenly became quiet.

Until Xinhua News Agency reporter Zhou Hai raised his shaking hand and asked: "Hello, you just said that Mr. Tony's new product is hair growth water?"

Zhou Hai felt like he was dreaming. Even if Tony announced that he had invented a super weapon that could destroy the earth with one shot, people would not find it too bizarre. Although they would be shocked, it would at least be within the expected range. But how could Iron Man sell hair growth water? He even devoted himself to research for several years? Could it be that Tony was originally bald and had been relying on wigs and hair transplants to cover it up, and invented this to treat his hair loss problem? Reporters immediately thought of an explosive news headline - "The Mystery of Iron Man's Five-Year Hair Loss".

After Zhou Hai's question, the crowd regained some clarity. Some people thought it was a scam and that the press conference was not initiated by Tony; others thought that Tony was a mechanical expert and that hair growth water involved biology or chemistry, so it was impossible for him to come up with a high-quality product.

On the Internet, netizens who had just been "petrified" also started to become active again.

Netizen A joked: "Oh my god! Tony Stark is selling hair tonic? Will the hair be as hard as gold-titanium alloy after using it?"

Netizen B exclaimed: "I must have watched a fake press conference."

Netizen C supported it as always: "Even if Tony Stark sells hair tonic, it must be the best in the world!"

In the secret base of the Illuminati, Tony was trembling. He hid here because he was afraid that reporters would block the door after the press conference. The other Illuminati members, including Captain Rogers, were watching the press conference intently.

Professor Charles commented: "Looks like good publicity." Tony thought: To me, this is negative publicity!

Captain Rogers analyzed: "This may be contrast marketing. Tony has never been involved in this industry before, and the cross-border cooperation of super giants always attracts attention." Tony thought to himself: I don't want this kind of attention at all!

Dr. Hank said: "Tony, although the hair tonic was invented by me, I think it is most suitable to be named after you." Tony suspected: You just want to see me make a fool of myself!

Li Jie said gratefully: "I have to thank Tony for his contribution to the organization this time. I believe that after this product is on the market, we will be able to earn enough funds and we will no longer have to ask Tony for money. We can be self-sufficient. Thank you, Tony!" Tony thought to himself: It's all your fault that I am like this!
