Marvel’s Speedsters

Iron Man Tony Stark has been very depressed recently, and this depression does not come from a colorful personal emotional life, but from hidden problems in the company’s strategy.

In fact, compared with other large companies and the same period in previous years, Stark Industries’ financial data this year has been very good, half of the $220 billion revenue comes from 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 industrial map, although the new energy strategy of great hopes has been questioned by all walks of life due to alien invasions, but the export version of the Ark reactor production line still creates sales revenue of up to 30 billion US dollars for the company. This is enough for Tony to make a lot of money and completely make up for the losses incurred after closing the weapons department.

This achievement is very impressive, throwing competitors such as Hammer Industries, Tan|suo Aerospace and the increasingly marginalized Osborne Industries far behind the street, but unfortunately, compared with the cutting-edge laboratory that Iron Man hates the most, the growth is inevitably worse. The R&D and production consortium, which has only been established for two years, is leaping beyond the limits at a jaw-dropping speed for outsiders, constantly shortening the distance between it and the industry’s leaders.

Tony didn’t bother to recall the special commentary on the operation of the laboratory in the information research agency and the financial press, and although Ross and Pepper never disclosed internal information to the outside world, the information gathered through public channels was enough to tell a lot about it. Tony is very clear that on the road of new energy strategy, the advantages of Stark Industries are not as prominent as the outside world imagines, and the cutting-edge laboratory also has its own unique understanding of super electricity, if one day Ross decides to put Dr. Otto’s artificial solar system on the market, a vicious competition may immediately break out, and then the entire industry will be greatly impacted by the |, and Stark Industries, which has shifted to energy, is naturally not spared.

Every time he thinks of this, Tony can’t help but recall the judgment made by Obadiah before, and he sometimes has to admit that although he is still a well-deserved genius in scientific research, in terms of business management, his sensitivity | is indeed much worse than that of the old fox.

If Obadiah’s opinion had been approached when Ross was just starting out, then pay some price, maybe today’s formidable opponent could have been avoided, and maybe Pepper would not have left his side …

It’s just a pity that it’s too late now.

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

Tony was not in the mood to deal with the media, but the reporters around him were swarming like wild dogs smelling blood, desperately asking him questions under the blocking of many bodyguards.

“Tony, the earnings report shows that Stark Industries made a profit of $18 billion last quarter, setting a record for the company’s quarterly profit, are there any new plans to go further in the future?” Familiar journalists are always so considerate.

“Of course we have a lot of plans, Stark’s safe will always have technology five to ten years ahead of the times waiting to be developed, and in fact we are pursuing some strategies to continue the company’s strong position, and you will continue to see our efforts in the future.” Although his tone was still arrogant and |arrogant, on the whole, Tony’s answer was decent, and his attitude was not as casual as before.

“Mr. Stark, the Paris city government unilaterally announced that the Ark system will continue to supply electricity to the Eiffel Tower, will your company sue the French for violating the contract?” A reporter asked aloud that the question was slightly less pleasant.

“The company will operate according to the content agreed in the agreement, and I personally respect all rational choices of users.” Tony replied expressionlessly as he walked.

“Is there any big move for the Avengers to regroup today, who are you going to fight against, and how many casualties are expected to occur?” Someone else shouted at him with a microphone.

“You think too much, we’re just seeing off a friend who is about to travel the world.” Tony’s face twitched slightly, this man had come to find a fault, but he couldn’t help but reply, otherwise God knows how these guys would discredit themselves.

Two days ago, his friend Thor, the god of thunder, mysteriously disappeared at the inauguration of the new Avengers Building, and when he reappeared a few hours later, almost everyone did not recognize his appearance, Thor did not know where to go, the prince of Asgard, who has always been known for his strength, seemed to be held down, and he was beaten violently, his nose and face were so swollen that his whole head seemed to be fat, no matter how his companions asked afterwards, Thor refused to say what happened, everyone repeatedly asked, and finally he simply became angry, Tony and the others had to never mention it, and the scars on his face faded the next day, and Thor proposed to leave this sad place and visit the European continent to visit the guards of the fairy palace who were detained by Magneto, and discuss with each other how to take their compatriots away, so today Tony and the captain and others gave friends a grand banquet to practice.

Iron Man answered as he walked, and with the help of bodyguards and hotel staff, finally separated the crowd and came to Captain America.

Before the two entered the hotel |, they suddenly heard a noise in the rear, and someone outside shouted “Ross Byrne is here!” ”

The reporters who gathered around the two instantly dispersed, and they all ran to the vicinity of 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 who got out of the car from a distance, turned back and said to Captain America.

“He’s just like you and Howard, and he’s a great young man.” Seeing the complicated thoughts of the son of an old friend, Captain America gently patted him on the shoulder and smiled tolerantly.

Tony nodded and casually changed the subject.

“How’s Thor feeling? I spoke to S.H.I.E.L.D. before I came, and Fury suggested that Thor better not try to go to his brother, the newly formed Sky Sword Bureau has been watching him, the Pentagon is also figuring out how to take 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 testing ground for the destruction of obsolete weapons than to make it directly 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, and seventy years have passed, but we did not expect that our opponents were replaced by aliens, and no matter how the times develop, the war never stops.”

“Then you should ask Ross what he thinks, it was he who invented the Stargate that made interstellar warfare possible, and it was he and Kelly, Thaddeus and others who preached revenge in Congress and the Pentagon, who knows how much benefit he intends to make to be satisfied!” 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 backed by S.H.I.E.L.D., Aldridge Killian has some things in his hands, and I am interested in them…”

They drifted away, and their voices became lower and lower, until they were indistinguishable.

Then the hotel lobby was occupied by a large crowd of reporters, and Ross became the new focal point.

At this time, he was standing in front of the crowd, Connors and Maya on the left, Gwen and Mary Jane and others on the right, surrounded by a group of relatives and friends, and waved very kindly after seeing the reporter, which immediately attracted endless shutter sounds and countless magnesium lights flashing.

Today is Ross’s birthday, and they came to the hotel to celebrate.

Usually Ross often immerses himself in work, does not participate in many activities, coupled with his rapid rise experience, has always left a very mysterious impression on the outside world, although sometimes he will also make high-profile appearances, but overall, compared to the limelight Tony Stark is still a little more low-key, so today seize the opportunity reporters are desperately taking pictures.

After the photoshoot, the reporters rushed up and asked a few simple questions, and the topic was actually brought to a heroic girl who had recently risen to prominence.

“Does Mr. Byrne know his background?” An NBC reporter asked with a quirky smile.

“Do you want to say that I am actually the heir of an ancient family, because of the conflict between my ancestors and the family, I worked alone outside, and it was not until my generation that I regained family recognition?”

Ross casually made a joke, causing a burst of laughter from the crowd.

“Bingo, you guessed it, please Miss Katniss Everting!” The reporter did not smile, but took the opportunity to reach out and wave, the cameraman quickly pointed the camera at Ross’s face, and then the crowd separated, and a young girl with a gong arrow on her back walked in from outside with an excited expression.

“Are you my grandmother’s grandsister’s grandson, my long-lost cousin?” Katniss, the incarnation of the witch, had a trembling voice and a look of surprise on |her face, and when the two embraced affectionately, she winked at Ross | ambiguously.

“What the hell are you doing?” Ross smiled bitterly and cooperated with the other party, he really did not expect that the witch would play such a trick, and forced to modify his identity information and pull himself and her to the same ship.

“Soon I won’t be a senator, and the brotherhood side has very little contact with me, but I hope you can still support me as before, so I need more assurance, don’t try to throw me off so quickly,” Katniss’s affinity face smiled softly, and hugged him hard again before letting go.

“You’re thinking too much.” Ross said insincerely, and then couldn’t help but complain. “I knew it would be like this, I really should have changed your new name to Jennifer Lawrence.”

“Is there any special significance?” Ignoring the reporters who were ecstatic to find the big news outside, the witch looked sideways and tasted it, and suddenly felt that the name also had a feeling of resonance.

“Big cousin!” Ross shrugged her shoulders, put her arms around her waist again, and waved to reporters around her.
