Niaoyue City.
at dusk.
History Stark Building.
Mingxuan Detective Agency.
In the spacious and bright office, Tony Stark, Melinda Jolene May, Lu Mingxuan and many others are gathering together at the moment,
In turn, they shared the progress they made in the investigation of the Akutagawa Ryunosuke incident during the eight hours during the day.
The main reason why Lu Mingxuan and others want to do this is to integrate the information resources held by the three parties.
In order to ensure that the truth hidden behind the Akutagawa Ryunosuke incident can be investigated in the shortest possible time.
Half an hour later, the investigation results of the three parties were all shared.
However, it is a pity that the progress of everyone's investigation is not satisfactory.
After all, Akutagawa Ryunosuke's appearance was too sudden.
Moreover, the time spent in Nuoyue City was relatively short, so the investigation was naturally more difficult.
Afterwards, everyone spent more than ten minutes summarizing the direction and plan for tomorrow's investigation.
At this point, the first tripartite meeting has officially ended.
At the moment, Tony Stark's personal assistant, Pepper Potts, opened the door and walked in.
"Sorry to bother everyone at this time.
After briefly expressing his apology, Pepper Potts walked quickly to Tony Stark, then took the initiative to hand over an invitation letter and said:
"Tony, Mr. Stany will hold tonight the first new product launch conference since the establishment of Stany Industries, so I specially invite you to attend the meeting.
After casually looking through the invitation letter handed over by Pepper Potts, Tony Stark couldn't help but shrugged weakly, frowned and said:
"Pepper, you should know that I never like to attend this kind of press conference, including our Star 567 Industries."
“So, I don’t need to go to Stany’s new product launch conference!”
To be honest, since the weapons manufacturing department of Stark Industries was closed and officially became "Iron Man",
Tony Stark rarely attends product launches of this kind regarding new military weapons.
In addition, he will continue to investigate the matter of Akutagawa Ryunosuke with Lu Mingxuan and the others tomorrow.
At this time, I was really exhausted physically and mentally, and I really didn't have the heart to deal with those boring gatherings of high society anymore.
Pepper Potts naturally knew about Tony Stark's thoughts.
However, in the final analysis, Obadiah Stane is Tony Stark's father and Howard Stark's former friend and business partner.
Moreover, after the death of Howard Stark, Obadiah Stane was once considered by the outside world to be Tony Stark's life mentor.
Moreover, when Tony Stark became the president of Stark Industries, he was very tolerant and supportive of Tony Stark's work.
Therefore, if Tony Stark treats Obadiah Stanely, the nominal elder, the shareholder and patriarch of the historical Stark Industries,
If you ignore a specially sent invitation, it will definitely be very unfavorable in the public opinion of the outside world in the future.
In addition, some time ago, because of Obadiah Stane's establishment of his own business, there has been a lot of malicious speculation from the outside world.
Many newspapers even publicly reported that Obadiah Stane's departure was due to Tony Stark's exclusion.
It is precisely because of these unscrupulous media's random reports that indirectly caused the reputation of Tony Stark and Stark Industries to be damaged a lot.
This time, if Tony Stark openly refuses to participate in Obadiah Stane's new product launch conference,
Those news newspapers that are afraid of chaos in the world may report something randomly again.
At that time, Tony Stark might be given a reputation of being jealous and ungrateful.
As a result, both Tony Stark personally and the entire Stark industry will suffer considerable losses.
Therefore, Pepper Potts had to persuade Tony Stark to attend the press conference held by Obadiah Stane.
After all, it was just a formality, and there was no need for Tony Stark to actually do anything.
In Pepper Potts' view, just this can directly eliminate the public opinion turmoil against Tony Stark and Stark Industries, so why not do it?
Thinking of this, Pepper Potts persuaded Tony Stark in a low voice:
"Tony, it's just a press conference, it won't take up much of your time."
"If you don't go, you and the company will probably be very passive in terms of public opinion tomorrow..."
After glancing at Tony Stark, who was still frowning, she immediately changed her mind and continued to persuade:
"Tony, there have been a lot of things going on with the appointment recently. You and Mr. Lu have been busy and have no time to rest.
"This is such a rare opportunity. Why don't you take Mr. Lu and the Immortal to see it together? Just think of it as a way to relax!"
"After all, immortals usually practice cultivation, so they should rarely attend such activities..."
Judging from Tony Stark's willingness to let Lu Mingxuan move the entire "Mingxuan Detective Agency" directly into the Stark Building,
Pepper Potts had already guessed that Tony Stark must really want to make friends with Jiraiya.
Therefore, this time, she simply proposed, "Let Toden Stark bring Jiraiya and Lu Mingxuan to the meeting.
In this case, Tony Stark will no longer refuse directly.
Sure enough, after hearing the news that Jiraiya had never attended high-class gatherings such as new product launches, (ahae)
Tony Stark's eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt that he had found another opportunity to get closer to Jiraiya.
Therefore, Tony Stark took the initiative to walk up to Jiraiya and asked with a smile on his face:
"Immortal, I have a press conference here. It's the kind of party where you can watch performances, have lots of wine and beautiful women. I wonder if you, Immortal, are interested in attending?"
Upon hearing Tony Stark's invitation, Jiraiya immediately showed an interested look, then chuckled and said:
"Haha, since it's your invitation, Tony, then naturally I have to go and see it.
"As for the investigation of Ryunosuke Akutagawa, I'll leave it to Mr. Lu."
"After all, Mr. Lu is the "inspector" responsible for breaking contracts, so he is bound by his responsibilities!"
Having said this, Jilai couldn't help but pause slightly, and immediately ordered Lu Mingxuan on the side:
"Boy Lu, Tony and I are going to that press conference to investigate the situation, so I will leave it to you to preside over the matter here!"
Hearing what Jiraiya said, Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly, and responded helplessly:
"Yes, Lord Jiraiya!"
Seeing Lu Mingxuan agree to go ahead, Jiraiya couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, and immediately left with Tony Stark and Pepper Potts.
Dividing line..
That night.
Expo site.
"Pepper, why are there so many people today?"
Glancing at the busy traffic around him, which numbered tens of thousands of people at least, Tony Stark couldn't help but asked in surprise to Pepper Potts beside him:
"Isn't Stany Industries just established? How come it has such great appeal?"
After hearing this, Pepper Potts immediately approached Tony Stark and explained to him in a low voice:
“This is the first official public appearance of Stani Industries, so naturally a lot of money has been spent on publicity.
"Moreover, the Pioneer plan promoted by Stani Industries this time was originally full of gimmicks. "
"According to information revealed in advance by Stani Industries, they claim that this time they will use epoch-making technology that is far beyond the current technological level of Superman to reveal and guide the new evolutionary direction of mankind.
Having said this, Pepper Potts couldn't help but pause slightly. After glancing at the change in the expression on Tony Stark's face, she continued to speak in a low voice:
"Furthermore, I received a message privately that Stany Industries has made a strong move into industry.
"Even for this new product launch, Stani Industries has received support from the military forces headed by General Ross."
"The purpose is to replace Stark Industries' previous position and become the third largest military industrial enterprise alongside Hammer Industries and Osborn Group."
"Leading the evolution of humanity? Replacing Stark Industries?"
After listening to what Pepper Potts said, Tony Stark immediately curled his lips and complained habitually:
"Haha, this kind of thing sounds really like Uncle Stannie's style."
"What a pity. He is a smart businessman, but he is not a real scientist."
Having said this, Tony Stark couldn't help but pause slightly, and then said to Pepper Potts very confidently:
"He just doesn't understand that the real value of Stark Industries is never the dispensable weapons, but the genius mind of Tony Stark!"
"So, even if our Stark Industries withdraws from the military industry, Uncle Stany's Stany Industries will not be able to replace Stark Industries."
Seeing Tony Stark's stinky fart, Pepper Potts just smiled and did not answer his words.
Afterwards, Pepper Potts took the initiative to lead the way and led Jiraiya and the two of them directly from the VIP entrance to the main exhibition hall of the expo. .
