Chapter 497 Superhero? You Might as Well Be the President.
No wonder it can become the leading evil force in that world. With a revenue of at least 100 billion a year, it is really a very terrifying consortium force.
"Good guy, when you are a superhero, you have to pay attention to your approval rating and your skin color..." Hawkeye Barton couldn't help but complain.
How can they become superheroes and be arranged to go to different cities? They basically become superheroes wherever they are born and where they are active.
I didn't even think about skin color or anything like that.
What is the support rate among different ethnic groups, and the impact of different skin colors on favorability.
"It's a pity that he doesn't elect the president. With such a large and professional team, apart from electing the president, everything else is really a waste." Natasha, the widowed sister, also complained.
In the picture, Medellin laughed dryly and continued: "I know this price is difficult for you to accept, but you and I both know that your city needs a superhero."
When the mayor of Baltimore heard this, he just laughed dryly, and then said: "I will settle for a Nubian prince for $200 million a year, so that the people will be more accepting."
Medellin refused, saying: "I'm sorry Steve, but I can't accept that Atlanta is still waiting."
I think you can accept it. "
The mayor of Baltimore spoke up.
"How do you say this?" Medellin was a little confused. He didn't know what the other party was bargaining with.
The mayor of Baltimore stepped forward confidently: "I happened to know about Compound No. 5."
And this item immediately aroused the interest of everyone outside the screen. Lin Feng's diary mentioned about Compound No. 5 more than once. Looking at it from the beginning, the birth of those superheroes is likely to be directly related to Compound No. 5. relation.
"What is Compound No. 5?"
After two seconds of silence, Medellin continued to ask with a bit of a smile.
"This thing can destroy the reputation of your superheroes. I didn't want to do that. People need superheroes."
The mayor of Baltimore said very confidently: "I can guarantee that this matter will only be a rumor, because I am your friend, but friendship is also a double-edged sword."
Medellin smiled awkwardly, but still said firmly: "I'm sorry, Steve, I don't know what you are talking about, the fixed price is hundreds of millions of dollars.
Otherwise we'll go to Atlanta. "
Outside the screen, Toby Spider, who was born at the bottom, Peter Parker, the little spider, and others all stared wide-eyed. This was the first time they saw what the collusion between politics and business at the top of the country was like.
To be precise, they have heard this kind of thing so much that even they themselves are used to it and don't take it seriously.
But I have basically never seen with my own eyes how they collude in private.
It turned out to be so naked and unabashed.
The nature of the transaction was no different from the small traders they knew, except that the amount involved was different.
The benefits of hundreds of millions of dollars can be explained clearly in just a few sentences.
The scene changes to the scene where the new hero Starlight attends the meeting of the Seven Giants for the first time.
The other six giants have already arrived first.
"Xingguang, you don't want to be late for the first meeting. I have prepared a whole set of welcome speeches." The motherland man turned around and looked at Xingguang with a kind smile on his face. He couldn't understand what Lin Feng said at all. The dark side of DC Superman.
However, it is not the first day or two since everyone read the diary, so naturally they will not doubt the authenticity of what Lin Feng said. This can only be said that the people of the motherland at this stage have most likely not revealed their identity as a super villain.
"I'm sorry, Captain," Starlight apologized.
"Take a seat, just call me a native of the motherland." The native of the motherland turned around, waved his hand and said.
"I started to wonder if you would come." Shen Hai said with a somewhat carefree expression. "I mean with that much pressure, it would be a little overwhelming for anyone."
"Yeah, don't worry, I'm fine. I'm here, and I won't leave." When Starlight saw the deep sea, there was uncontrollable anger in her eyes, and she was about to explode with her powerful force. Super power, but was interrupted by a transparent man.
Transparent kept talking: "This is a very serious crime. These bastards pirated my movie three weeks before it was released. As soon as you walk up Fifth Avenue, you can see a pair of unlicensed motherland T-shirts." shirt.”
He hid his figure, so everyone could only see clothes, glasses, pens and papers floating in an inexplicable pattern.
"Every year, Watt spends 1.2 billion U.S. dollars on copyright infringement. This is money taken from our pockets. Each of us should share 400 million U.S. dollars."
The transparent man chattered.
"What the hell..." the locomotive couldn't help but say. "So you have 400 million knives?"
"Obviously, their lawyers are also better." Queen Maeve said.
"Hey, hey, hey, everyone, stop, stop, stop," the native said. "Enough, what does Starlight think of us? Listen to us arguing over some small money. Oh my God, we are the Seven Giants, and we also look like giants internally. Okay, now I want to hear, what are you guys doing this week? Who has been saved? Who agrees with this idea?
Black, it starts with you, man. "
There is no doubt that these so-called superheroes made the superheroes outside the screen stare wide-eyed. They were not used to their penny-pinching appearance.
They also had excess profits through Tony Stark's distribution channels. Through image licensing, they could also get a lot of money every month, but they generally did not have much demand for money.
Part of the money Tony Stark earned for them every month was used to cover basic costs, and part was kept for himself, but more of it was entrusted to Tony Stark for charity operations.
It was really a charity operation, not the operation of those rich people who seemed to be doing charity but were actually doing it to avoid taxes.
These Tony Starks knew a lot. After all, when it comes to charity, no one knows better than the rich people in America.
Do you think they are just avoiding taxes?
No, they use charity foundations to defeat the various industrial chains of each country, and then dump the products produced in their own farms and factories at a low price.
Many people know that Bill Gates is keen on charity, but few people know that he has used his foundation to lay out a business empire worth hundreds of billions of dollars in Africa.
It destroyed the industrial chains of countless small African countries, forcing them to rely on their own agricultural products.
Tony Stark has seen a lot of this kind of thing. Generally, a small part of it is used for charity, and the rest is spent on eating, drinking and having fun.
Fortunately, he does not intend to do this, he really wants to do charity.
Of course, doing charity in the United States is not so easy, because charity is also a big cake. If you really do charity and really help the poor get rid of poverty and become rich, you are touching other people's cake.
I don't know how many people have made a lot of money by doing charity for the poor.
So in the eyes of many people, Tony Stark is really a thorn in the eye, but he is not afraid of too much debt.
This short video shows how these superheroes are full of money in private.
The picture turns again, under the night, the mayor of Baltimore received a call from Medellin on his way to the airport.
"Ms. Stillwell, I'm not sure you'll call." The mayor of Baltimore said with great confidence, not knowing the doom he was about to face.
"You're still angry, but I can... I'm willing to reduce it to $230 million for the Nubian prince!" Medellin seemed to have made a great determination.
"That makes sense, Medellin, thank you!" The mayor of Baltimore said with a smile.
"Steve, and the rumors about this compound No. 5, and about my superheroes you heard, are all slander and completely untrue, but we all know how it spread, so I advise you to be careful." Medellin said with a vague threat.
"Of course, I promise." The mayor of Baltimore said.
"Thank you, safe journey." Medellin said with a sigh of relief.
Medellin compromised, and everyone outside the screen also saw it. Obviously, there was something behind the words of the mayor of Baltimore. This compound No. 5 was indeed as Lin Feng said, there was some problem.
Even if this matter is exposed, it will destroy the reputation of Water Company and cause this huge company with an annual revenue of hundreds of billions to collapse. What a terrible thing it is.
"Compound No. 5." Tony Stark narrowed his eyes. Obviously, this compound No. 5 should be a specialty of the universe where the locomotive is located. So far, Lin Feng has not heard that people in other universes also have compound No. 5.
But the question is, when the locomotive came to the Marvel universe from the Sony universe, did it also bring some compound No. 5? If it really brought some, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Even the CEO of a strong company like Medellin has to bow to the mayor of Baltimore.
How big a handle is it for her to make such a decision.
But before everyone was sure that this matter was over, they saw the scene change. In a private plane, the mayor of Baltimore was still comforting his child.
"Don't worry, kid, it's just a little bump, it will be fine."
Obviously, he didn't know how serious this matter would be.
But his son saw someone flying in the clouds outside the window of the plane, looming.
He called his father.
