"The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman"
, the days when I was a spiritual mentor in Meiman
Stark Industries Headquarters Building, also known as Stark Tower, is located on East 45th Street of Grand Central Station in Manhattan, New York, USA. It was completed in the 1990s. It is about 350 meters high and has 89 floors.
At first, Howard, the founder and owner of Stark Industries Group, bought a piece of land on the east side of Central Station, and then planned to build a new headquarters for his car company. Later, at the suggestion of Obadiah, It was built as the tallest building in New York City at the time and became one of the most famous sights on the New York skyline.
But it is a pity that Howard failed to see the completion of this building. After Stark grew up and took over the Stark Group, he repaired this building many times. Now, it has become a high-tech building. A huge building integrating laboratories, group headquarters, and commercial office buildings.
There are also many New Yorkers who like to call it the "Triangle Tower", because the shape of the Stark Tower is a right-angled triangle, and the building on the east side is taller. From the 79th floor to the 89th floor are Stark's personal The laboratory, while the building on the west side is shorter, is a commercial office building, which is where Stark Group employees work.
Although this design makes the building look a bit weird, it is very practical in terms of practicality. The two buildings are connected to each other without interfering with each other. Buildings have spoiled the beauty of the New York skyline, but today, Stark Tower has become an integral part of New York's travel guide.
The first Stark Industries Expo was organized by Howard Stark in 1981. Before the 20th century, Stark Industries Expo was the largest industrial exhibition in the world.
After Howard's death, Tony Stark, who inherited the Stark Group, didn't like holding industrial expos very much. Therefore, from the late 1990s to the early 21st century, the Stark Industrial Expo was no longer a grand occasion. To this day, Tony Stark at the Stark Tower press conference, facing flashes and microphones:
"The most important part of human industrial development has been forgotten for many years. An industrial expo can stand up and fill this part of the gap..."
"And now, what I want to tell you is that next you will receive an invitation that may be the most important in your life, and you will witness with your own eyes how big a step forward the development of human industry has taken. The blank period of several decades is my negligence, so I will use a Stark Industry Expo to tell you..."
Stark looked around, and the reporters around him looked at him without saying a word.
Reporters are very familiar with Stark, but most of the time, Pepper stands in front of reporters and explains to reporters that Stark's bad things will not have any big impact, and then gets drunk Tony was dragged up from the backstage and perfunctory the reporter.
But now, all reporters can see that the Mr. Stark in front of them is a little different.
Stark was also very proud before. He often said something like "Ordinary people can't understand me", "You never know what changes my invention will bring to mankind" or "Those little things don't matter at all. It is about to change the course of human industrial development" and so on.
Confidence is his business card, and frivolity is synonymous with him, but this time, Stark's tone is very different, and even these reporters who have heard all kinds of sophistry from various celebrities pay attention concentrated on him.
"There are many rumors in this world that are difficult to distinguish between true and false, and your job is to spread them, but these things will never really change the world, you can't do it, that Yin Fan Vanke can't do it , The air force, army and navy standing behind him can't do it either."
Finally, Stark said to the microphone: "...but I can."
Stark picked up an invitation from the table and showed it to the reporters, "This is the ticket for Noah's Ark in the new century. If you don't want to board the ship, then stay in the decaying waves and wait." Die."
Countless flashes were lit, and the sound of shooting was accompanied by noisy questions. There was a "boom" resounding. Stark's calm face was photographed and frozen in one newspaper after another.
The picture of the newspaper flickered, and the hand holding the newspaper was put down, revealing Peter's face behind him, he took a bite of the hot dog, and said to Gwen next to him, "I didn't expect you to get the tickets for the Stark Industries Expo. I thought..."
Gwen shrugged: "Recently there have been a lot of reports about Stark, and I happen to be very interested in the Industrial Expo, so I asked my dad to help me get two tickets. Let's go together."
Peter was a little angry when he mentioned this, "I think some reporters are distorting the facts..."
"I know you're a Stark fan. He treated you well when you were an intern at the Stark Group." Gwen turned to look at Peter. Peter sighed, a little frustrated: "Do you also think he is a bad person? But..."
Gwen patted Peter on the shoulder: "The Stark that many people know from the reports may be different from the Stark you know, but this is also normal, because people are multi-faceted."
"You think they are smearing your idol, but they also think you are whitewashing him, but no matter what, I am more concerned about whether Stark can really realize what he said in the press conference. Those bold words."
Gwen took down her schoolbag, then took out two invitation cards from inside, handed one to Peter, and said, "Take it apart and have a look, if the design is too ugly, we won't go."
The invitation that Peter turned upside down said: "From the outside, it's nothing special..."
So, he opened the invitation, and Gwen did the same thing with him, and was a little disappointed: "The design of the invitation is quite ordinary, and there is a card inside that says 'Please come to Manhattan Central Station East 45 Street, the 90th floor of the Stark Group headquarters building'..."
"Wait!" Peter interrupted Gwen. He picked up the card in the invitation in his hand and looked at it carefully. He was surprised: "The 90th floor?? Where is the 90th floor in the Stark Tower? That building The building has only 89 floors!"
Gwen also looked at it, wondering: "You must have counted wrong, right?" After finishing, she turned her gaze back to the invitation card, "Both of our cards are written with 90 floors, so it should be It’s not a typo.”
Peter scratched his head, and his tone was a little uncertain: "I remember that there should be only the 89th floor? At least the elevator must go to the 89th floor."
"Is it possible that he plans to let us visit on the roof?"
"And I remember..." Gwen took the newspaper that Peter put down, and pointed to the picture of Stark Tower in one of the reports: "The exhibition hall of Stark Tower should not be on the left Is it the top floor of a shorter building? How could this building have 90 floors?"
"Indeed, I went to that exhibition hall. It is really big, and it should be more than enough to hold an industrial expo."
When Peter and Gwen were puzzled, other people who received the invitation had the same doubts as them, even if they were standing on the top of other buildings and looking at Stark Tower with binoculars, one floor at a time The number of layers is indeed only 89, not 90 at all.
Many journalists seized this point and began to attack Stark. They claimed that this was a playboy's bad joke. It is a struggle before death.
Indeed, after Stark's rhetoric, most industrial groups and large companies were angered by his arrogant attitude. If Stark's words were more like a ignorant The upstart was bragging, but the taunts from the now-serious Stark caught many off guard.
Because a fact is in front of them: a rotten person like this has still come up with cross-age mecha technology, and can even wear that handsome mecha as a superhero in New York.
Many unsatisfactory scientists and leaders of industrial groups ~IndoMTL.com~ can't help but imagine that if they develop this technology themselves, they won't be as naive as Stark, wearing What kind of superhero is the suit going to be.
They dream of cooperating with the military, increasing production, controlling mechanical armies, and even ruling the world.
Therefore, they ridiculed and satirized Stark even more confidently, thinking that his choice was extremely naive.
Many people, Stark, made the worst choices in every link, which led them to fall into such a quagmire. If it were them, they would not only have to cooperate with the military, but also with their peers. Start up, use this technology to seize the market, share the monopoly profits, or participate in the international political game.
But no matter what you do, you must be more mature than putting on an iron shell and fighting for justice in New York.
The most ironic thing is Stark's chivalrous target. Those ordinary people who are protected and saved by him don't appreciate it. Even the voice of opposition to Stark and Iron Man is stronger than that of Stark. Tucker's peers were even more violent.
In short, no matter whether it is a colleague, the military or ordinary people, after receiving this invitation, they still intend to go to participate.
Most of them are just looking for fun, and want to see how this famous **** is going to pull off this gimmick.
There are also many self-professional scientists who plan to use their professional knowledge to expose Stark's scam, and many young people with aspirations who are underappreciated plan to watch Stark's jokes to comfort themselves. Just luck.
There are very few people like Peter and Gwen who want to come and visit simply because they are interested in industry and machinery.
