Chapter 819: Compromise (Please Collect, Recommend, and Vote for Me) Please Vote for Me!!!

Never overestimate the integrity of a country, especially the United States, which is a country that takes pride in cheating and deceiving. They worship victory and only worship victory. As for the means, they don't care at all. Don't look at these guys shouting "Shuzhu Zhiyou" all day long, but in fact, the United States is the country that supports the most dictators and warlords, and the country that subverts the most regimes. Look at South America. Once a tough guy appears in any country and intends to save his country, the United States will use coup d'état, assassination and other dirty means to overthrow that tough guy.

For the US government, it is not uncommon to hack Tony Stark's patent in order to obtain reactor technology. As for the means, don't use too many!

Even Tony Stark can't fight the US government on this.

"Rod! That bastard! No wonder he wanted to bring that Russian back to the United States in person! I thought..." Tony is very smart, but at first he didn't think that the US government would be so shameless. But after being reminded by Kai... 99% of the US government will do this.

"And... have you really forgotten who that Russian is?"

"Who?" Tony asked in confusion.

"Tsk..." Kai has always been troubled by Tony's bad character... "Forgot? Last time in Los Angeles, at the premiere of the movie you invested in... it was this guy who attacked you! Can you give him a little respect?!!"

"Los Angeles... Wait! Fuck! Shouldn't that guy be in jail?" Tony finally remembered who that guy was...

The last time it was this Russian who attacked him, but at that time Batman took away the reactor on his chest, leaving the government without a reason. As for later, he was naturally thrown into jail, and then Tony completely forgot about it! I really don't know what he thinks, maybe he thinks that the reactor at that time is too rubbish? Not worth his attention?

"I don't remember that guy looking like this! Oh, I forgot what he looked like, fuck! Fuck! Someone is definitely messing with me!"

The Russian, Kai remembered, was called Anton Vanko. Kai didn't follow up on what happened afterwards, he thought Tony would solve it...

"Wait, I have to come back quickly! I can't let these people ruin my invention!" Tony immediately thought that it would not be that simple for that Russian to come out of prison.

"It's useless." Kai was very calm. The moment the Russian fell into the hands of the US government, Tony lost: "You'd better reach an agreement with the US government now, at least don't lose the energy industry, that's related to the stock price."

"When did you care about the stock price?" Tony shouted angrily.

"Nonsense! I'm the second largest shareholder of Stark Group!" Kai hung up the phone casually.

Tony then remembered that although Wayne Group was nominally the second largest shareholder of Stark Group, in fact, the controller of Wayne Group has always been Kai.

Sure enough, the next day after Tony rushed back to the country, he couldn't see the Russian.

Then the US government sent a broker to find Tony, and Rod came with the broker.

I don't know what kind of conversation they had, but when they came out, Rod's face was full of guilt, Tony was expressionless, and the broker was as humble as ever. To put it bluntly, the broker is a middleman. He is not qualified to show off in front of a big crocodile like Tony, because Tony may not be able to do anything to the US government, but it is okay to do it to individuals, even those behind him!

There is an essential difference between the whole and the individual. The government is not unable to function without one person. On the contrary, the top leaders of the government are actually happy to see Tony's anger directed at someone, because it is easier to talk and it can be regarded as comfort.

In short, depending on the situation, Tony still gave in.

There is no way. Others have already mastered the key to the technology. It doesn't matter whether Tony agrees or not. The difference lies in whether everyone looks good.

After all, if they really broke off relations and forcibly hacked Tony's patent... it seemed too ugly.

...

On the second day of this incident, Hammer Group, another arms contractor of the US military, announced that they had officially signed a contract with the military, and the military would inject funds to officially launch the Iron Warrior project.

This news immediately set off a huge wave in the stock market and the public opinion circle. This time, the military directly signed a 13 billion contract with Hammer Group.

At the same time, the creativity of Iron Warrior was also a copy of Tony Stark's invention, which is also a hot topic.

Although Hammer Group constantly emphasized that they were independently developed and had an essential difference from Tony's mecha... but everyone is not a fool. Those who understand understand, even those who don't understand much understand. After all, Hammer Group is famous for copying Stark Group products.

On the contrary, Stark Group did not comment on this, which was equivalent to acquiescence.

On the contrary, Stark Group placed the publicity center at the expo that was about to open.

The expo has been talked about for several years, and it is finally going to open. The Stark Industrial Park in Clinton District was used as a branch venue for private invention exhibitions. There was no other way. The specifications of the exhibition were too high, and the construction in Clinton District had only started for more than a year, so it was not possible to come up with such high-standard conditions so quickly. The supporting facilities were not perfect at all.

So it was only assigned a "private invention exhibition".

This private invention exhibition, to put it bluntly, was to give those amateur scientists a stage to show off.

Moreover, for the sake of excitement and novelty, truly shocking inventions will not appear here. Exhibits of large companies will be in the old campus of Stark Group in New York, which has been renovated a long time ago and was delivered a month ago.

That is where Tony's father held the first expo.

It can also be regarded as a kind of commemoration.

The first industrial expo was held by Tony's father in 1974, and the second was held in Chicago. The third was originally planned to be held in Los Angeles, but the Battle of Los Angeles resulted in the abandonment of the Los Angeles headquarters of Stark Group, so they had to move back to New York. It happened that New York City hoped to hold the third expo and offered many preferential conditions, so Pepper decided to hold the third expo in New York.

…

More than a month later, in July, the expo officially began.

After the successful promotion of the Chicago expo, the Stark Industrial Expo has become famous, with more exhibitors, all of whom are high-tech companies from all over the world. It has become a world-class platform. To describe it in martial arts, this is a technological version of the world martial arts conference, and everyone competes for attention with their own skills. During the one and a half month exhibition, most venues will also be adjusted with the changes of participating companies.

The exhibition time was extended this time. The last one was only held for a week.

But because the communication effect was very good, more companies and more products were willing to be released at the exhibition, so the exhibition time had to be extended.

This made the New York City government very happy. They wished that the exhibition time would be longer, preferably for a whole year.

In the Clinton area, it is a paradise for self-employed people.

It can even be said to be a funny invention award.

In the "self-employed" exhibition area, as long as they pass the inspection of the exhibition management department, those individual inventors can also put their own weird things on this world-class stage and show them for a day. Many people go to this self-employed exhibition area if they have time. Maybe they can meet fun little inventions. It is more like an amusement park. Unlike those big exhibitions that require invitations or even tickets, here you just need to buy a two-dollar ticket outside the gate and you can play freely.

So many local New Yorkers are happy to come here.

This makes the merchants in the Clinton area very happy. When have they ever experienced such a large flow of people?

There are many people who come to participate in the Stark Industrial Expo, including top experts, scholars, technicians and so on from all over the world. These people basically don't appear here at the self-employed, but many low- and middle-level related personnel come here to hang out and pick up bargains with the mentality of picking up bargains.

The 'self-employed' are also very happy. In any case, they have been given a stage to show off. Many technologies are useless to inventors because they are difficult to realize. If they are not realized, there is no money to continue research, and if there is no money for research, it is even more difficult to realize. The biggest problem is promotion!

Where do 'self-employed' get the resources to promote? Without promotion, there is naturally no business opportunity.

Don't think that the inventions of those folk scientists are all funny things. Some are quite practical. For example, Kai has seen a powerful deodorant! The effect of this thing is very obvious, but unfortunately no one promotes it, so naturally no one pays attention to it. As a result, this invention was spotted by the Stark Group and the patent was directly bought!

In the past two days, more than 30 self-employed have sold their patents. Although they are all small transactions, the highest is no more than one million US dollars, but this is also unparalleled. Attract those 'self-employed' inventors.

It is also because of the success of these people that the exhibition area in the Clinton area has attracted unprecedented attention. Not only inventors, but ordinary people also like to come here. After all, except for enthusiasts and practitioners, ordinary people rarely pay attention to those high-end technology releases. They pay attention to new smartphones at most. Ordinary people still prefer down-to-earth inventions, no matter whether they are useful or not, as long as they are interesting.

So within two days of the exhibition, the Clinton exhibition area has become one of the leisure places for many New York citizens in their free time. In addition to some very professional enthusiasts, the individual booths can be said to be crowded. Compared with the reserve and arrogance of those top bosses, the visitors who come here have fewer concerns. Many people are typical technology geeks. As long as they talk about technology, they don’t care that this is an individual booth and they will directly spray.

Can’t stand it? If you can’t stand it, just close the stall and go home. If you are a man, you have to face it head-on. The thinking of most technology geeks is so simple and crude. What about saving face, considering the occasion, and talking about interests are the things that the bosses consider. They just have one word - fight. Therefore, all kinds of technical quarrels are going on at the stalls of individual businesses all the time.

What kind of inexplicable super fertilizer Jin Kela, new energy with amazing conversion ratio, various strange products modified by individuals, someone may suddenly point out the problem in front of the stall. In the end, both sides said anxiously, and there were many people who simply used physical persuasion.

And this is also a scene that many people like to see, watching the excitement, people all over the world love it.

After noticing this situation, Kai also asked the police of the 15th Precinct to be a little more careful, not to stop them too much, at least to wait until they "finished the performance" before taking action. Of course, if it is excessive, it is also necessary to stop it, not to kill people, or even to seriously injure them, but to watch the two sides fight with a smile, and then come out to arrest both sides until the evidence is conclusive. This way the effect of the "performance" is better! Don't think it's excessive, after all... more traffic is good for everyone.

Most of the tech geeks are quite timid, and it is not difficult to deal with them. Just scare them a few times and both sides will basically go away. If they really have the courage, they will not be tech geeks, anyway, they will not cause any big trouble. And it will add a lot of fun, especially those nerds will not fight, and they will make a lot of jokes from time to time, anyway, it is very joyful.

Even if there are really those who are straightforward and stubborn, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, detention does not require any court trial. Those who are caught on the spot can be sent to calm down for 24 hours. This is the power of the police. It doesn’t take much effort at all.

So the police officers are also happy to "cooperate with the performance."

On the contrary, the police at the Stark Park over there are not so comfortable. There are some police officers and a large number of auxiliary police officers sent by the NYPD to maintain order. There is no need to worry about salary. The Stark Group pays and donates a large sum of money to the NYPD.

But the problem is that all the visitors here are from big companies with big backgrounds, and the visitors are not as casual as those at the self-employed venue. Most of them are still quite reserved, perhaps due to the atmosphere. In short, it is quite difficult here. There are a lot of things to pay attention to, and I am afraid of being complained. After all, the police cannot know whether there will be any hidden bosses among the visitors. It would be very troublesome to be complained.

Especially for those popular exhibitions, there are a lot of problems.

For example, the opening ceremony!

The opening ceremony of the Expo was not on the first day of the Expo, but on the third day... As for why, it is said that it was Tony's idea. He felt that the opening ceremony was very important and needed to warm up in advance to get people into the state, and then have a big party... No, it was a big show, which would be more attractive.

After all, the opening ceremony was to be broadcast live, and the live broadcast rights were sold at a sky-high price!

As for the real reason... Actually, Tony was drunk when he held a party for Rhodes more than a month ago, and agreed to too many people's requests to perform at the opening ceremony... There were too many beauties that day, or maybe it was too long since he had been drunk... He was a little bit arrogant. As a result, the originally scheduled opening ceremony performance was seriously overtime... He had to make a choice.

Who to choose and who to give up is a troublesome matter.

The opening ceremony has been delayed again and again.

However, this has aroused the curiosity of many people, leading to an increasing attention to the opening ceremony!
