Marvel's Speedster

Iron Man Tony Stark has been very depressed recently. This depression does not come from his colorful personal love life, but from the company's strategic issues that hide worries.

In fact, compared with other large companies and the same period in previous years, Stark Industries' financial data this year is already very good. Half of the revenue of 220 billion US dollars comes from the precision manufacturing and high-end electronics departments, which fully shows that the company is still One of the very few ding-level predators in the industry, the new energy strategy that has high hopes has been questioned by all walks of life due to the alien invasion incident, but the Ark reactor production line for external sales has still created up to 30 billion US dollars for the company The sales income, which is enough to make Tony a lot of money, completely make up for the losses incurred after closing the weapons department.

This achievement is very eye-catching, leaving competitors such as Hammer Industries, Exploration Aerospace, and the increasingly marginalized Osborn Industries far behind, but unfortunately, with Iron Man's most annoying cutting-edge Compared with the laboratory, the growth rate is a bit worse. The R&D and production consortium, which has been established for only two years, is striding across the limit at a jaw-dropping speed, constantly shortening the distance between it and the leader of the industry.

Tony is too lazy to recall the special comments on the laboratory's operating conditions in information investigation agencies and financial newspapers. Although Ross and Pepper never disclose internal information, the information collected through public channels is enough to explain many problems. Tony is well aware that on the road of new energy strategy, the advantages of Stark industry are not as prominent as the outside world imagines. Advanced laboratories also have their own unique understanding of super power. If one day Ross decides to use Dr. When it is put into the market, vicious competition may erupt immediately, and then the entire industry will be impacted by huge amounts of impact. The Stark industry, which has already shifted to energy at that time, will naturally not be spared.

Every time he thinks of this, Tony can't help recalling the judgments made by Opadry in the past. He sometimes has to admit that although he is still a well-deserved genius in scientific research, in terms of business management, his sensitivity Compared with that old fox, it was indeed much worse.

If, according to Obaday's opinion, he had been in contact with Ross when he was just starting out, then he might have been able to avoid today's formidable opponent by paying some price, and perhaps Pepper would not have left his side... .

Unfortunately, it's too late now.

He shook his head, loosened the tie that was too tight, let out a long breath, and then, accompanied by the driver Harpy and others, got out of the car and walked towards Captain America Steve Rogers who was waiting for him in front of the hotel not far away. go.

Tony was not in the mood to deal with the media, but the surrounding reporters swarmed over like wild dogs smelling blood, desperately trying to attack him under the obstruction of many bodyguards.

"Tony, the financial report shows that Stark Industries made a profit of US$18 billion last quarter, setting a record for the company's quarterly profit. Do you have any new plans to go further in the future?" The familiar reporter is always so considerate.

"We definitely have a lot of plans. Stark's safe will always hide technologies that are five to ten years ahead of the times waiting to be developed. In fact, we are implementing some strategies to continue to maintain the company's dominant position. In the future, you will continue to see what we have made Work hard." Although the tone is still proud, Tony's answer is generally quite satisfactory, and his attitude is not as casual as before.

"Mr. Stark, the Paris city government unilaterally announced that the Ark system will not continue to supply electricity to the Eiffel Tower. Will your company sue the French for breach of contract?" A reporter asked loudly, this question is not so pleasant.

"The company will operate according to the content of the agreement, and I personally respect all rational choices of users." Tony replied blankly while walking.

"Is there any big action for the Avengers to regroup today? Who do you plan to fight, and how many casualties are expected?" Someone shouted at him with a microphone.

"You're thinking too much, we're just seeing off a friend who's about to travel around the world." Tony's face twitched slightly, this guy was here to find trouble, but he had to reply, otherwise God knows what these guys would do smear yourself.

Two days ago, his friend Thor disappeared mysteriously at the inauguration ceremony of the new Avengers alliance building. When he reappeared a few hours later, almost no one could recognize him. The famous Prince of Asgard seemed to be held down by someone, and he was beaten violently, his nose and face were swollen to the point that his whole head seemed to be fat. No matter how his companions asked him afterwards, Thor refused to say what happened to him, and everyone asked again and again. , In the end he simply became angry, Tony and others had no choice but to never mention the matter, the scars on his face faded the next day, Thor proposed to leave this sad place, visit the European continent, and visit the victim in Latvinia. The Asgard guards detained by Magneto had to discuss with the other party how to take their compatriots away, so today Tuodi, the captain and the others practiced it with a grand banquet for their friends.

Iron Man answered while walking, and with the help of bodyguards and hotel staff, he finally parted the crowd and came to Captain America.

Before the two of them entered the hotel, they suddenly heard a commotion from behind, and someone outside shouted "Ross‧ Byrne is here!"

The reporters surrounding the two dispersed in an instant, and they all ran to the convoy that had just stopped behind, and Tony breathed a sigh of relief.

"That guy is very popular." He looked at Ross and his party getting out of the car from a distance, and turned back to Captain America.

"He's just like you and Howard, he's also an amazing young man." Seeing the complicated thoughts of the son of an old friend, Captain America patted his shoulder lightly and smiled tolerantly.

Tony nodded and changed the subject casually.

"How is Thor feeling? (befd) I talked to S.H.I.E.L.D before I came. Fury suggested that Thor should not try to find his brother. The newly established Heavenly Sword Bureau has been watching him, and the Pentagon is also studying how to Taking the first step across the stars, although we all know that he is a good person, but many people prefer to turn Asgard into a test site for destroying obsolete munitions, rather than turning it directly into our friend."

"The world is always like this." The captain shook his head with emotion. "Before we fell into the ice, we were at war with the Germans. Seventy years later, our opponents were replaced by aliens. No matter how the times develop, the war never stops.

"Then you should ask Ross what he thinks, he invented the star gate, made interstellar war possible, and he, Kelly, Thaddeus and others advocated revenge in Congress and the Pentagon, who knows how much he plans to earn You can only be satisfied with the benefits!" Tony said with a cold face.

The captain fell silent, and then the two left the hotel door side by side.

"Do me a favor, I want to buy AIM, which is supported by S.H.I.E.L.D, Aldridge Killian has some things, I'm very interested in them......."

They gradually walked away, and the voice of the conversation became lower and lower until it was indistinguishable.

Then the hotel lobby was occupied by a horde of reporters, and Ross became the new focus.

At the moment, he was standing in front of the crowd, with Connors and Maya on the left, and Gwen and Mary Jane on the right. Surrounded by a group of relatives and friends in the center, he waved kindly when he saw the reporter. There are endless shutter sounds and countless flashes of spotlights.

Today is Ross's birthday, and they specially came to the hotel to celebrate ten games.

Usually Ross is buried in his work and doesn’t participate in many activities. Coupled with his rapid rise, he has always left a very mysterious impression on the outside world. Although sometimes he will make a high-profile appearance, but generally speaking, compared to being pushy The Tony Stark of the film is still low-key, so today the reporters seized the opportunity to take pictures desperately.

After the photos were taken, the reporters swarmed up, and after briefly asking some questions, the topic turned out to be brought to a certain heroic girl who has recently emerged.

"Does Mr. Byrne know about his parentage?" an NBC reporter asked with a wry grin.

"Do you want to say that I am actually the heir of an ancient family, because my ancestors had conflicts with the family, so I worked hard outside alone, and it was not until my generation that I was recognized by the family again?"

Ross made a joke casually, and the crowd burst into laughter.

"Bingo, you guessed it right, Miss Katniss Everdeen is invited!" The reporter didn't smile, but took the opportunity to wave his hand, and the cameraman quickly pointed the camera at Ross's face

Then the crowd parted, and a young girl with an arrow on her back walked in from outside with an excited expression.

"Are you the grandson of my grandmother and sister, my long-lost cousin?" Katniss, the incarnation of Mystique, trembled, with a look of surprise on her face. When the two embraced affectionately, she winked at Ross ambiguously blink.

"What the hell are you doing?" Ross smiled wryly and cooperated with the other party. He really didn't expect Mystique to play such a trick. He just changed his identity information and pulled himself into the same boat with her.

"I won't be a senator anytime soon, and Brotherhood doesn't have much contact with me, but I hope you can still support me as before, so I need more assurances, don't think about throwing me away so quickly," Kate Nice smiled lightly on his friendly face, and hugged him hard before letting go.

"You really worry too much." Ross said insincerely, and then couldn't help complaining. "I knew it would be like this, I should have changed your new name to Jennifer Lawrence before." "

"Is there any special meaning?" Ignoring the reporters outside who were ecstatic when they found the big news, Mystique savored it sideways, and suddenly felt that the name also had a sense of resonance.

"Big cousin!" Ross shrugged his shoulders, put his arms around her waist again, and waved to the reporters around him. .
