Chapter 96 Changes

That afternoon.

Major newspapers in New York and the economic pages of all media were shocked by Tony's shocking remarks at the press conference.

Stark Industries' stock price immediately plummeted by more than 4 to 5 percentage points, and it is estimated that hundreds of millions of dollars in market value were wiped out that day. Some stock market commentators have judged that this situation will not stop in the next few days.

"So, Nestor, what do you want to say about the comments Tony Stark made at the press conference?"

NBC immediately held a live news segment to discuss what Tony Stark did at the reception.

"I think he is crazy. Maybe his time in Afghanistan has damaged his brain. Otherwise, how could he make such a ridiculous decision? The Stark Industries board of directors should make a decision immediately and let Tony... Stark withdraws from the company's decision-making level, otherwise Stark Industries will be dragged down sooner or later..."

"I do not agree with Mr. Nest's remarks. On the contrary, I think Mr. Tony Stark's approach is quite correct."

"Oh, why did Ms. Shirley say that?"

"In recent years, Stark Industries has been committed to providing the US military with the research and development of large-scale lethal weapons. According to surveys, more than one-fifth of the weapons have appeared in the international market through various channels and have fallen into certain At the hands of terrorist organizations, a large number of innocent civilians in the Middle East have been harmed because of weapons manufactured by Stark Industries."

"Ms. Xueli's comments are mixed with too many personal emotional factors. Stark Industries, as a part of the American military industrial system, cannot be stopped by someone's simple words. I still stick to my previous remarks. The Board of Directors The discussion should be re-opened and Tony Stark should just rest."

"Nest, you are so cold-blooded!"

"I'm just being realistic."

…

The disturbances from the outside world are not important to Li Ran.

Because it won't take long for this discussion to become meaningless.

In Li Ran's view, Tony Stark's closure of the Stark Industries weapons development department was both a crisis and a turning point, and it represented that the future Iron Man was officially on the right track.

Of course, it will still be some time before Tony transforms into Iron Man and soars into the sky.

Chinatown, inside the martial arts gym.

The development of a certain incident was somewhat beyond his expectation.

"Don't practice martial arts anymore?"

Ip Man frowned and looked at Mike in front of him, or rather the agent placed by SHIELD next to him, with a somewhat puzzled expression on his face.

These days, do even SHIELD agents do their tasks so casually?

Obviously, I have already left such a foreshadowing, why do I have to leave suddenly? You don't follow the routine.

Although there were ten thousand doubts in his heart that could not be solved, the avatar was still loyal to his role, and just made a slightly confused look: "You are so good, why did you suddenly stop practicing?"

There is no way, everything is an order from above.

In this regard, the SHIELD agent also felt helpless. However, based on the agent's professional awareness, he still made a regretful expression and said: "Although I also really want to continue learning kung fu from you, master. However, the news that I was defrauded of a large amount of money by the guy named Jin was exposed, so my family and girlfriend put restrictions on me. If I continued to come to practice martial arts, they would cut off my parents and relationship with me, so... …”

The reason Mike gave was simple and crude, especially under the premise that Li Ran knew the identity of the other SHIELD agent, he could conclude that it was 100% an excuse without thinking.

However, since the other party said so, Ye Wen in the martial arts gym could not force him to stay, so he could only sigh silently.

He replied smoothly: "Well, in that case, family is more important. You have been in the martial arts gym for a short time, so I didn't teach you much. I just hope that you can practice horse steps diligently in the future, although it will not enhance your fighting ability. , but at least it can keep fit.”

"I understand, master." Nodding, Mike deliberately made a look of reluctance and guilt: "I'm sorry, master, to disappoint you."

"It's not your fault." Shaking his head slightly, Ye Wen still looked elegant: "This just means that our master-disciple relationship is not deep."

In Chinatown, inside the martial arts gym, Ip Man watched Mike leave.

In the antique shop, Li Ran couldn't help but touch his chin. He always felt that things were not that simple.

In particular, as an intelligence and espionage organization, SHIELD could give up so easily when faced with Ip Man's obviously suspicious presence.

Thinking of this, Li Ran couldn't help but be more cautious.

…

"A portion of golden ratio shaomai."

After ending the unfriendly discussion with Obadiah and the shareholders' meeting, Tony came to the food truck. He needed some delicious food to soothe his somewhat bad mood.

"By the way, do you still have the ordinary steamed buns from before?" Looking at [Xie Lu] who was concentrating on cooking in the food truck, Tony asked as if something suddenly occurred to him.

"You mean Gold starts to smile." He raised his head and glanced at Tony, [Jie Lu] said immediately.

"Yes, that's it." Tony raised his eyebrows and nodded.

"Didn't you say you didn't want it before?" [Jie Lu] said unceremoniously.

"Okay, I admit, I didn't care much about that dish at the time." Waving his hand, Tony excused, "I tasted it later and it tasted pretty good."

[Jie Lu]: "..."

Tony: "..."

"Okay, it tastes delicious." Under the pressure of [Jie Lu]'s gaze, Tony had to admit.

"That's just a dish I make occasionally. I don't have the right ingredients on hand right now." Momo looked away and [Jie Lu] continued to reply.

"All right."

Although it was a pity, Tony knew the character of the owner of the food truck in front of him very well from past experience, so he did not push too hard, picked up the shaomai in front of him, and took a bite.

"Boss, how would it feel if you did something that everyone thought was wrong and only you thought was right?" While eating Shaomai, Tony suddenly spoke to [Jie Lu] in the fast food truck.

"You shouldn't ask me this kind of thing, I'm just a cook."

The expected solution did not appear, and [Jie Lu] poured cold water on Tony without hesitation.

Twitching the corner of his mouth in embarrassment, Tony explained to himself: "Okay, maybe I've been thinking too much recently."

"In fact, you don't need anyone's answer. You should already have your own answer in your heart."

Raising his eyebrows, Tony looked at [Xie Lu] in front of him and stuffed the last shaomai in his hand into his mouth: "Does your food truck have takeout service?"

"No."

"Then maybe, I won't be able to eat your cooking for a while."
