Take the Red Police to Marvel
Chapter 148 Coping
As the protagonist in this turmoil, Tony Stark still doesn't know what happened. After getting up in the morning, he lingered with Maya Hansen for a while and then went to the airport to fly back to the United States.
On the plane, Tony and Happy were chatting. It was already afternoon when he returned to the United States. He planned to go to a restaurant to have a meal first, but when he got off the plane, he saw a lot of reporters squatting outside the airport.
Seeing this scene, Tony wasn't surprised, because he was always under the light of the media. Tony Stark tidied up his hair and walked out.
As soon as the reporter found him, he shouted loudly.
"It's Tony Stark!"
This shout was like a frying pan, and the reporters went up with long guns and short cannons and remote-controlled drones, and started asking questions in a mess.
"Mr. Stark, may I ask if your company has any monopolistic behavior?"
"What do you think of the alliance's sanctions?"
"Excuse me, will the suspension of cloud computing services by Polaris Institute have an impact on Stark's business?"
"Will the Stark Corporation be ruined by this?!"
Unlike Tony's imaginary exploration of lace news, the reporters asked about Stark Corporation, and what monopoly, what sanctions, and when did the Polaris Research Institute stop cloud computing services?
Tony frowned without saying a word, got into the car under the protection of Happy, and quickly returned to Stark Tower. There was already a group of people waiting for him in the lobby.
The first person to greet her was a blond woman, who basically knew all the high-level people here, so she took two steps back to guard the gate.
"Tony, you are finally back. I have been calling you but I can't get through."
"I forgot to charge my phone, what happened?"
The woman who came was Virginia Pepper Potts. As Tony Stark's assistant, Pepper had a lot of autonomy in Stark Corporation.
This is mainly because Tony Stark is unwilling to manage the company's trivial matters, so he recruited a very capable assistant. Stark's company can have today's Pepper's strength cannot be ignored.
"Forgot to charge the phone? How is that possible."
Ten years ago, the alliance began to continuously introduce new battery technologies to dismantle the U.S. oil hegemony system, and now it has forced Yingjiang to relinquish some of its benefits in exchange for the alliance not to replace it too quickly.
In this case, it is common for the mobile phone to be on standby for two weeks, not to mention that almost all smart devices that can be charged in the world now support the alliance's wireless charging protocol, and it is impossible to shut down the phone.
In other words, Tony must have taken the initiative to shut down the phone to prevent others from disturbing him. As for what he was doing, Pepper couldn't help but think of the woman who came to chat with Tony a week ago. She was also blond, but much prettier than her, and she was also the boss of a big company. .
After such a delay, Pepper forgot to mention the business, but there were not only Pepper but also another veteran of the Stark company present.
"It's useless. The important thing is that we have to figure out what's going on now, Tony. It seems that you don't know the specifics yet."
The person who said this was Obadiah Stanislav. He had worked with Howard when the Stark Corporation was founded, and he has been working hard for decades. He is definitely a veteran among the veterans.
For this veteran, Tony of course also has great trust.
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Tony led everyone into the conference room to find out what happened.
"At eleven o'clock today, the Alliance Anti-Monopoly Investigation Association issued an announcement, saying that it believed that we had monopolistic behavior and decided to initiate an anti-monopoly investigation against us.
Moreover, the Polaris Research Institute also shut down our cloud computing services, and some alliance partners also cut off business with us. The action was very fast, and the liquidated damages were even charged to the company's account on the spot. "
After Pepper finished explaining, Obadiah gave his own opinion, based on his decades of experience in shopping malls and officialdom, he said firmly.
"I think this matter must be targeted by someone behind the scenes. Judging from his ability to mobilize the alliance to target us, it should be very powerful. It may be a senior official or even a member of the council, or several companies have provided considerable support. Big political donations put the coalition against us."
"Could it be the Hammer Company?"
"There is a high possibility that even if Hammer Company is not behind the scenes, it will inevitably make trouble. At present, we don't have any good countermeasures. The top priority is to deal with the alliance's investigation and find new partners to make up for the funding problem."
"That's the only way to go, but what about the Polaris Research Institute?"
"Is it a big impact?"
"It has a great impact on the scientific research department. If the Polaris Institute does not provide services in the future, we can only find IBM or build a supercomputing center by ourselves."
"Leave the scientific research in advance, solve the short-term capital chain problem first, and then mobilize our contacts in Congress to put pressure on Congress, let the US government sniff the alliance for us."
The main business of Stark Corporation is arms. The source of funding for this project accounts for 50% of Stark Corporation, and the rest is energy, the Internet and some other businesses.
The liquidated damages after the cooperation project is cut off will not last long, and new business must be found to solve the capital chain problem.
Pepper and Obadiah communicated quickly to find countermeasures. The two had obviously already prepared related matters, and they were just waiting for Tony, the hands-off shopkeeper, to make a final decision.
Tony didn't know the company's situation and couldn't say anything. He completely trusted these two people. When he saw that the two had an idea, he agreed without asking.
But Tony, the hands-off shopkeeper, doesn't have to do nothing. He can make a lot of money with a little brain movement. After everyone dispersed, Tony called Rhodes to inquire about internal information and see if there was any project. .
As a colonel, Rhodes' position is quite high. As a senior officer, he only needs to work through his qualifications and make some achievements to become a general officer.
Therefore, he has a wide network of contacts. When Tony asked Rhodes, he naturally revealed the fact that the US military was planning to purchase high-powered medium- and short-range missiles.
According to Rhodes' news, the military originally planned to purchase Hammer's missiles, but the effect seemed to dissatisfy the military, so they didn't buy them in the end, and they were not very satisfied when they went to Raytheon.
In the end, the military turned around and turned its attention to the international market. From this point of view, huh?The goods of our alliance "AIA" seem to be good, the price is not much cheaper, but the performance of the weapon is really top, I think it can be bought.
But this matter was immediately rejected by Congress. What a joke, if they didn't understand the technical difficulty decades ago, they might think that they bought it like a tank and it was their own.
However, with the development of science and technology, they feel more and more terrifying about the technological strength of the Alliance. 40 years ago, the Alliance was able to build a space elevator and complete an unmanned combat force.
The ghost knows what it will be like today 40 years later. The intelligence of the alliance's weapons and equipment is obvious to all. I am really not afraid that a missile will be shot out and fly on my head one day.
So this matter has been put on hold until it was mentioned by Tony Stark to Colonel Rhodes today.
