Chapter 98 Press Conference
Because of Tony Stark's return, it is not only the investors who are active, but also countless celebrities and journalists from major news media.
Most of the journalists were already on the verge of the press conference, but the celebrities who were more or less related to the Stark Group were all concentrated at the door.
Smack sex!
As soon as the black sedan that Tony Stark was riding approached, countless people gathered around him, and his hands kept applauding and welcoming him.
There are even many people on both sides of the road, which completely shows what it means to welcome the road.
"Look at who is here!"
Another major shareholder of Stark Group, also a partner of Tony's father Howard Stark, Obadai Stein, who had a bald, white beard and sunglasses, came first to meet him. He opened the door of the black sedan with a smile and gave Tony Stark who had just gotten off the car.
The two chatted enthusiastically for a few moments before they walked into the building surrounded by the crowd. Before leaving, Tonysta, who had a fractured suspender on one hand, did not forget to take two burgers from the bodyguard Hapi, and ate along the way without caring about his image.
Li Si also mingled among a group of celebrities and followed into the building. With Tony Stark in front of him, and a large group of people were following him, he was unobstructed along the way.
This was originally a public press conference, and either a reporter or a celebrity came. Basically, unless you deliberately dress like a beggar, there would be no classic scene of looking down at people and then pretending to slap in the face.
There are already many reporters waiting in the building, some holding cameras and record books, while others setting up cameras directly behind.
Li Si's arrival did not attract anyone's attention, or he noticed it but ignored him.
Needless to say, the celebrities who followed him were basically unaware of them and had no interest in them. Although the reporters also saw Li Si, the protagonist today was Tony Stark after all. Compared with this big news, Li Si's presence seemed a bit insignificant.
However, Li Si was just happy to be idle. Although he needed to gain fame, he actually didn't like a group of flies wandering around him. No one delayed him watching the show.
Watching Tony Stark walk to the podium, his eyes focused on two familiar figures.
Phil Colson of S.H.E.L.D., and Tony Stark's assistant PeberPotz.
"I am Agent Phil Colson, representing the strategic defense of the land and attack and logistics support..."
Colson found Peber, and it was still the difficult-to-mouth formulaic introduction.
Then what we welcomed was the classic saying that would be criticized everywhere we went.
"It's really hard to talk about."
Pepper's reaction was a little cold, and her eyes were always focused on Tony Stark.
“We are also working on this little problem.”
Colson was obviously used to this kind of complaints, and he handed over his business card without any surprise.
...
Seeing Colson who was defeated again, Li Si unconsciously smiled on his face.
S.E.E.L.D.’s reputation is not easy to use everywhere, at least PeberPotz, the assistant of Iron Man, has never heard of S.E.E.L.D.
"Mr. Listen, I'm glad to see you again."
Despite being treated coldly at PeberPots, Colson still had a kind smile on his face. Perhaps out of politeness, he came to Li Si and said hello after talking about the main business.
"Meet again, Colson."
Li Si also responded with a smile, but the relationship between the two was not very familiar, so he just said hello.
At this time, Tony Stark had already walked onto the podium, and both Lis and Colson's eyes turned to the podium.
However, in this crowd of attention, Tony Stark squatted down without any image and sat on the steps in front of the podium. While signaling that the others present would sit down, he also took out a burger from his pocket and chewed it there without any scruples.
"I didn't have time to see my father for the last time, but now I want to ask him what he thinks about the production of arms..."
"Have you ever been in conflict, have you been shaken... or is it a tough guy like the media sees..."
After eating the burger for a few bites, Tony Stark finally spoke again.
Instead of standing up, not being as formal as a press conference, it is like a chat or a self-talking confession.
It can be seen that after suffering from three months in Afghanistan, Tony Stark's originally cynical playboy's personality has indeed been much more restrained, and his mentality has also changed dramatically.
You should know that when facing media interviews about producing arms, he was full of energy and placed himself in the position of Patriot.
But this is normal. Not to mention seeing the weapons produced by themselves being used for self-blame by armed terrorists, no one can accept that they were almost killed by the weapons produced by themselves.
"I witnessed the murder of young soldiers...dead under the weapons I wanted to use to protect them..."
After a moment of silence, Tony Stark continued to speak calmly, with no expression on his face and even his eyes slightly dull.
Not only Obady, who had been sitting next to him, but even the other reporters finally realized that Tony Stark's mood was not right at this time.
"Mr. Stark."
The reporter squatting in the front row raised his hands.
"Speaking."
Tony Stark surprisingly used honorific words to the reporters who once ignored him.
"What exactly have you experienced over there?"
The reporter who was clicked asked.
Hearing the reporter's inquiry, Tony Stark was silent for a moment, perhaps because he was unwilling to recall it. He was stunned for a moment before he felt as if he had come back to his senses, slowly stood up as if he was concealed, and then talked about his previous topic.
"I'm awake and I realize that I can contribute more to the world besides making weapons!"
Tony Stark, who had already walked behind the podium, paused for a moment and said, "So, I decided to close the Stark Group's weapons department and take effect immediately!"
Wow!
Chapter completed!
