Chapter 266: New York Reopens

Three days had passed since the New York Building disaster, and New York City had quickly resumed operations with the support of various agencies and surrounding cities.

The streets were once again busy with traffic, and compared to New York before, they seemed even more lively. This was because the disaster that New York had experienced before had aroused the curiosity of people from other places, and they came to the site of the incident for sightseeing.

People wanted to see the hideous aliens and the cool superheroes described in the news reports. However, the reality was not as expected. They could not see the aliens because they had been cleaned up by government agencies long ago, leaving no trace of fur. They also did not see the superheroes, but only the Stark Tower, which was being renovated.

However, this did not suppress the curiosity of these people online, and there was still a steady stream of people rushing over from other places to check in at the battle site between superheroes and aliens. Many Internet celebrities and even stars also took this opportunity to take advantage of the popularity and announced that they were fans of a certain superhero.

Even overnight, many superhero-related peripheral products appeared on the Internet, triggering a crazy rush for them.

"OK, I got it. I'll leave these things to you. Give them a vivid lesson on intellectual property rights." On the top floor of Stark Tower, it had been damaged many times before and was already dilapidated. However, with Tony's emergency construction, the damage to Stark Tower was reduced to a minimum. Otherwise, if it was delayed a little longer, the building would have become a dangerous building.

Tony is talking to his lawyer team at this time. Today, his lawyer team called to tell him that someone was abusing his Iron Man image to seek profits. Of course, in fact, his lawyer team can handle this kind of thing by themselves, but they just need to ask the boss for his opinion. This kind of thing has happened not long after Tony became Iron Man. Many businesses have also been dealt with by Tony's lawyer team before and disappeared for a long time. However, in recent days, the IP of superheroes has been very popular, and many people have not been able to resist the temptation and are starting to get restless again.

"Oh, by the way, please help my friends solve their problems as well. I will ask for their opinions. Just do it." Tony suddenly thought that besides him, the images of other people seemed to have been abused by those guys, so he might as well help them deal with it.

But Tony thought again that these people didn't seem to need his help. Although Noah might not have a team of top lawyers, he had a powerful AI. He should be able to do what he could do. Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Captain America were all backed by the top domestic institutions, so it was easy for them to deal with some unscrupulous businesses. As for Thor and Loki, they were not even from Earth, and they probably didn't know what portrait rights and intellectual property rights were, so they naturally wouldn't care about these things.

Tony thought about it and decided to let his legal team do as he arranged. Can't give these guys money for nothing?

"Tony, what happened?" Just then, Pepper Potts, dressed in casual clothes and still barefoot, walked to Tony with two glasses of whiskey in her hands, and handed one to Tony.

"Oh, thank you. It's nothing serious, just those guys from before showing up again." Tony took a sip of wine, put down the phone in his hand, and told Pepper what his lawyer had just told him.

"Oh, haven't these guys learned enough lessons before?" Pepper laughed. This was not the first time she had seen such a thing. She had been handling these things for Tony before, but after Tony handed the Stark Group over to her, Pepper had no time to deal with these things and handed it all over to the legal team.

"But, Tony, I'm thinking, instead of letting them continue to use your image to make money, why don't we operate this market ourselves? This will not only effectively crack down on those unscrupulous businesses, but also benefit ourselves. What do you think?" Pepper said. She felt that in the current form, making these superhero peripherals is definitely very profitable, otherwise those businesses would not have taken those actions even at the risk of offending Iron Man and other superheroes.

"Well, this is a good idea, but wouldn't it be too troublesome? You are busy enough at work, and we are not short of money, right?" Tony said after thinking for a while.

"It's just a small matter and won't take up too much time. Moreover, although we are not short of money, we can invest all the income into your foundation. In recent days, your foundation has helped many people in need." Pepper smiled when she heard this, and then said to Tony.

Tony's foundation, whose full name is Maria Foundation, is a foundation he founded and named after his mother. As mentioned before, the reason why Tony founded this foundation is to rescue innocent civilians who were accidentally injured in various battles. For example, in the New York War, many people lost their homes and many people lost their loved ones, so in the past few days, Maria Foundation has been continuously supporting and rescuing them.

Tony heard this and felt that what Pepper said was quite reasonable. If he didn't make the money, others would make it. Wouldn't he lose a lot of money? He, Iron Man, made the money, which was also a genuine authorization. It could allow fans to buy genuine products and make money. Why not? What's more, the income could be invested in his foundation to help more people in need. This was a good thing that killed three birds with one stone.

Tony couldn't help laughing when he thought of this. He reached out and patted Pepper on the shoulder, saying admiringly, "Pepper, you are such a smart woman. I'll leave this matter to you. Oh, by the way, I think I can also make something for my friends. I'll go back and ask for their consent later. I don't think they will refuse."

Tony also wants to get the IPs of other superheroes in his hands and share the profits. This is free money for them, so they should not miss it. Besides Noah, this money is still quite considerable for the others.
