Chapter 159 Iron Man: A toy company can also produce armor?

Inside Tony Stark's massive mansion.

"Tony, I think you should pay attention to the company's financial report. The company's current situation is not very good..."

Pepper looked solemn and wanted to hand over the information in his hand to Tony.

But Tony, who was studying the Mark V suitcase-style portable armor, interrupted the other party's speech impatiently.

"Pepper, I know there are objections within the company to my closing the weapons research and development department."

"But you know my abilities. Even if I quit arms and switch to clean energy, we at Stark Industries will still be number one in the world!"

Tony said calmly while continuing to study the Mark V armor in his hand.

Ever since he was almost killed by the Ten Rings Gang with their own weapons, he would definitely not study weapons again.

What? !

What do you mean by the thing he has in his hands now? !

Isn’t this steel suit a favorite toy for adults?

In short, for Tony, compared to the troubles in the company, the current Mark 5 production problem is the biggest headache for him.

Ever since he took the initiative to reveal his identity as Iron Man a month ago, Tony realized that he would definitely be targeted by many people with ulterior motives.

Even those people may take action against him like Obadiah Stane did.

Although the Iron Man armor he made before was very powerful, it was quite troublesome to wear.

Once he encounters an emergency, he will most likely be killed without a chance to put on his armor!

Therefore, in order to cope with this situation, he is trying to make armor that is more portable, can be stuffed into a suitcase, and can be transformed at any time.

It's just that with the technology Tony currently possesses, it's still too difficult to condense such a large amount of armor into a suitcase.

According to Tony's estimation, the technology that can condense armor into a suitcase will not be popularized until at least the next fifty years.

Even if Tony thinks he is a genius, it will take him a long time to realize the technology fifty years from now.

"Tony..."

Little Pepper originally wanted to say something, but some words fell on her lips but could not be said: "But now, our share of Stark Industries' original weapons industry will be completely eaten up by the 'Link Double Diamond' of."

"If you are eaten, eat it. Anyway, we at Stark Industries don't have to worry about the money... No, what did you just say? Link's Double Diamond ate up our share of the weapons industry! Isn't that company a toy seller?"

As Tony listened, he suddenly frowned and realized something was wrong.

Link Double Diamond was a company he had paid attention to before.

His company's business is mainly to shoot animations and then make money by selling peripherals.

Tony felt that the company's technical capabilities were not that good, but the artist's taste was particularly good, and the toys he designed were quite handsome.

As a man who would deliberately coat his combat armor in eye-catching red, Tony firmly believed that handsomeness was everything.

A while ago, he heard that the toy sales of Link's Double Diamond dropped sharply due to the emergence of Iron Man!

At that time, he even had the idea of ​​acquiring Link's Double Diamond and asked the artist to optimize the appearance of the armor for him.

He never thought that when he heard the name again from Little Pepper, the other party would actually be related to arms.

"Can a toy company switch to selling arms? What are those guys at Hammer Industries doing for a living? Can a toy company take all of Stark Industries' original share of the weapons industry?"

When Tony heard the news for the first time, he didn't feel a crisis, but felt inexplicably want to laugh.

After Stark Industries shut down its weapons division, he thought his old rival Hammer Industries would eat up their corresponding market.

Unexpectedly, a toy company would suddenly step in and trample Hammer Industries under its feet again.

"Does Link's Double Diamond sell AKs or other firearms? No matter how good the quality of the firearms they produce is, they are still not as good as Steel Armor."

Tony smiled slightly and then asked.

In his opinion, a toy company can only sell arms, that is, various firearms such as AKs and weapons with little technological content, and there can be no more.

The fact that the other party was able to defeat Hammer Industries and take Stark's original share only shows that the quality of their firearms is very high.

"Tony, they're not just making guns."

Hearing Tony's words, Pepper shook her head and said slowly: "The weapons made by Link's Double Diamond are humanoid armor similar to your steel suit."

"What?!"

Hearing this, Tony stopped moving in his hands and looked at Pepper in disbelief.

"You're telling me a toy company made an Iron Man armor similar to the one I made?!"

Tony frowned: "Are you sure this armor is not a large toy, but a munition?"

It's not that Tony doesn't believe in Pepper, it's mainly that the news sounds a bit unbelievable.

You must know that Tony Stark himself is a unique genius in the world, and combined with the exclusive weapon design technology accumulated by Stark Industries over the years, he designed the Iron Man armor!

Now tell him, a mere toy company can create armor similar to Iron Man? !

Isn't this teasing him?

"Tony, today is not April Fool's Day, and I didn't lie to you."

Pepper said calmly.

In fact, she understood why Tony reacted like this.

When she just got the news, she had the same expression as Tony.

Especially after she spent a lot of money to buy the finished product of Link Double Diamond, she suspected that the company was occupied by aliens and used alien technology!

Or people from the future traveled back and used future technology!

The science and technology used in the armor made even a pure newbie like her feel that the times have changed.

"Could it be that the Iron Monger was not destroyed in the explosion? Was it picked up by Link Double Diamond later?"

"That guy made another heavy, powerful iron lump?"

Tony didn't know what Pepper was thinking at the moment.

He thought that he was not careful again and didn't recycle the Iron Monger, so it was picked up by Link Double Diamond.

For a moment, his expression suddenly became a little dissatisfied.

"Even though I don't like that ugly Iron Man, it's also a product of our Stark Industries!"

"The toy sellers at Link Diamonds actually picked up my Stark Industries' products and studied them. Don't they know that I have already applied for a patent for the Iron Man armor?!"

"Little Pepper, ask the company's lawyer to prepare as soon as possible. I want to use legal means to safeguard the sacred and inviolable rights of our Stark Industries."

Tony said righteously.

However, after hearing Tony's instructions, Little Pepper not only did not take action, but showed a complicated look.

She could naturally hear that Tony thought that the reason why Link Diamonds was able to make humanoid armor was because he plagiarized his technology.

But as a person who has personally experienced the humanoid armor sold by 'Link Diamonds', Little Pepper has to admit that the humanoid armor made by 'Link Diamonds' is superior to the Iron Man made by Tony in all aspects!

Would a good student copy the answer of a bad student? Little Pepper felt that at least the judge would not think so.

But Tony has such a strong self-esteem. If he knew that the humanoid armor made by Link Double Diamond has surpassed the Iron Man armor he made in all aspects, would he be discouraged?

Thinking of this, Pepper shuddered.

This is very likely? !

After thinking for a while, she still said in a tactful tone:

"Tony, I don't think we can sue them. The humanoid armor they released is completely different from ours."

"Hehe? You want to say that the appearance is different?"

Tony showed an expression that no one knows armor better than me and said slowly: "You women only look at the appearance and don't understand armor at all."

"Maybe Link Double Diamond's armor is also very different from ours in appearance, but the various internal designs and technologies used are definitely the same as ours!"

"Go buy one of their humanoid armor now, and then I will dismantle their armor and mark what technology they use!"

After listening to Tony's words, Pepper didn't know what to say for a while.

Originally, she wanted to protect Tony's dignity, but this stupid brain actually thought that she didn't understand armor? !

Isn't it obvious that he won't cry until he sees the coffin? !

In this case, let Tony's heart be broken, maybe he can live a good life with me in the future!

Thinking of this, Pepper suddenly showed a happy smile.

"In fact, I have already bought the humanoid armor made by 'Link Double Diamond' before you said it."

After that, she took out a belt from the suitcase beside her and handed it to Tony.

"Is this some kind of decoration?"

Looking at the belt that Pepper handed to him, Tony was full of doubts.

Could it be that Pepper didn't hear him clearly just now? !

What he wants is armor, not this weird decoration!

"No, this is the humanoid armor you want."

Pepper smiled and replied.

"Humanoid armor?"

Tony looked at the belt in his hand again.

Whether he looked at it horizontally or vertically, he couldn't see any connection between this belt and the humanoid armor he wanted.

Could it be that because the company's affairs have been too busy recently, Pepper has been under too much pressure and has some mental problems? !

Tony's heart suddenly skipped a beat!

He has a complicated feeling for Pepper. Although it cannot be said that he loves her completely, he really can't bear to see Pepper have mental problems because of him.

So, Tony said seriously: "Pepper, I'm going to give you a month's vacation! You can't go to work this month, just stay at home and have a good rest, understand!"

"Tony! Forget it, I'll do it myself!"

Seeing Tony's reaction, Pepper instantly realized that the other party thought she had a mental problem.

She was too lazy to continue explaining to Tony, so she snatched the belt back and put it on her waist.

"Transform!"

As Pepper shouted this sentence, a strange electronic sound sounded, and Tony's pupils instantly enlarged countless times!

It's bad!

This time he has a mental problem!
