Soon, the press conference was held as scheduled.
The purpose of the press conference was actually very simple. It was to maintain stability. Stark Industries was a huge business empire, and its core was the manufacture of firearms. Its industries spanned across electricity, energy, charity, medicine, entertainment, manufacturing, retail, bonds, civil technology, infrastructure construction, and so on.
His soul figure, a well-known genius, and the leader of an enterprise, Tony Stark, had actually been kidnapped by terrorists?
This would undoubtedly cause huge fluctuations in Stark Industries 'stock prices.
And this fluctuation could not be recovered in a day or two.
Even if Tony came back.
However, he only held a small press conference at the beginning before rushing home to recuperate. The publicity was not enough at all.
In addition, Obadiah was secretly causing trouble.
It was rumored that the major shareholders planned to work together to remove Tony from his position as CEO. His power would be completely stripped away, and he might even be expelled from Stark Industries. This caused many shareholders to be worried.
They felt that…
Stark Industries was currently in a mess and was very unstable, so they would sell a large number of shares to avoid risks.
This would cause Stark Industries 'stock prices to plummet.
Therefore, a large-scale and formal press conference was very important.
If he could even create an explosive point.
For example, the classic " I'm Iron Man " was enough to cause the stock price to soar overnight. This was actually a manifestation of reputation points.
" In a few days, I'll also start a public company, just like the Walter Corporation in Black Robe's Public Order Squad. I'll use superheroes as a celebrity brand to create hype, develop all kinds of movies and peripheral copyrights, and earn a lot of reputation. The rise and fall of the stock can be directly seen as the growth rate of reputation.”
Lin Yu's eyes moved.
He had a good idea.
He didn't need to personally play some of the roles to increase his reputation.
For example, Superman. Find a well-known movie star to film a Superman movie. If the box office was good, then Lin Yu could also obtain the reputation and acting value of Superman.
It was also possible to find someone to play the role he was playing.
In the later stages, if he signed in and obtained some characters that were not too strong, compared to Superman and The Clown, which seemed to have no special characteristics, Lin Yu could completely throw them to his own company to operate and earn the conversion rate of 10: 1,000,000 Reputation Points.
It was time-saving and energy-saving, and the rate of return was high.
Why not?
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome the star of this press conference, my good friend, Tony!”
As good friends.
Colonel Rhode was used by Tony as a tool again.
After all, he was a colonel in the military, and his credibility was very high. With him hosting the press conference, it would also add a layer of authority to the entire press conference.
However, Rhode knew that Tony never played by the rules.
He always liked to cause trouble.
So this time, when she saw Tony come on stage, she gave him a signal and whispered in his ear,"
"Tony, remember, you must read according to the script, understand? I've already arranged everything for you. You just need to finish this press conference safely. If anyone asks you about Superman, you just say that you fainted and don't know anything. That's the safest way.”
"Uh, this…okay."
Tony's expression was conflicted when he heard that.
Rhode's words weren't wrong.
To be safe.
He expressed that he didn't know anything from the beginning to the end. Anyway, he had returned safely. Stark Industries was as usual. It was enough for the public to know everything.
If he were to play any tricks.
Who knew what kind of messy consequences it would bring?
But…
Tony couldn't help but glance at Lin Yu, who was not far away.
He had already promised Lin Yu that he would announce the existence of Superman…
"Which side should I choose?"
On one side was his good friend of many years, and on the other side was his brother, who was rarely reconciled.
Who should he listen to?
He was very conflicted.
Tony stood on the podium with the microphone pointed at him. He paused for a moment and picked up the script that Rhode had prepared for him."
" It's my honor to have all of you attend tonight's reception..."
" Wait, Mr. Stark."
However, at this moment, a beautiful female reporter in black silk adjusted her glasses and stared at Tony." Do you really think that you can fool all of us with the excuse you've prepared? You know, as a reporter, there is only one thing we want to know, and that is the truth.”
"That's right."
Another reporter also spoke.
It was a male reporter, but he looked casual and not as formal as the other reporters.
He looked at Tony and said,"" Hello, Mr. Stark. My name is Eddie Brook. I've heard a lot about you. I know that a big shot like you must have more things to consider than a small reporter like me. But do you really think it's good to hide the truth and be a puppet who only knows how to read a script?”
"Yes, Mr. Stark, is it true that you were saved by an existence called Superman?”
"Does Superman exist or not?”
"What does Superman look like?"
"Can Superman really fly in the sky?”
"Um…"
Tony could not help but feel a little embarrassed.
These reporters were really sharp recently, especially that Eddie Brook.
"Alright, everyone, quiet down!"
At this moment, Rhode displayed his authority as a military colonel.
"During this press conference, you are not allowed to casually ask any irrelevant questions. Otherwise, I will send someone to invite him out.”
These words immediately shut the reporters up.
A press conference like this was no small matter. Every one of them had paid a huge price to enter the company. If they were asked to leave just like that, it would be equivalent to losing their jobs. They could not afford to pay such a price.
"Ahem…"
After a moment of silence.
Tony coughed dryly and picked up the manuscript in his hand again.
However, at this moment, he could not help but look in Lin Yu's direction. He saw Lin Yu smiling at him and giving him a reassuring look.
Tony took a deep breath.
In the end, he made up his mind.
His eyes were bright and firm as he looked at the reporters who were staring at him.
The corner of his mouth revealed an unruly smile.
"You're right, Superman does exist!”
