After the bidding was over, some people were happy and some people were worried. It was true that the reward proposed by Director Rogers was very high.
But if they failed, the punishment would be terrible. But in the face of such terrible consequences, there were still countless businessmen who threw themselves into this wave.
Marx once said that if there was a 10% profit, it would be used everywhere; if there was a 20% profit, it would be active; if there was a 50% profit, it would take risks; for a 100% profit, it would dare to trample on all human laws; for a 300% profit, it would dare to commit any crime, even at the risk of being hanged. This was capital.
Businessmen were the interest group. In this turbulent wave, countless people wanted a piece of the cake.
Because this event was related to the future of the entire human race, the world was very concerned.
Everyone was waiting to see which big group would emerge victorious in this grand event. If they won, they would be the big savior. If they lost, they would be a big sinner.
All businessmen understood that such an opportunity was once in a blue moon. As a Privileged Merchant, the entire privilege had a time limit (there was definitely a time limit), but it was still worth doing.
Because getting this privilege was equivalent to monopolizing what the earth should sell to the GAL. This was too exciting.
Only at this special moment, the members of the Earth Federation were willing to give such broad conditions.
Just like Luo Ji in the story "The Three Body Problem", it only took a moment for him to go from an unknown young scholar to a wall sitter who controlled the world's resources.
Although the rights of privileged businessmen were not comparable to that of a wall sitter. But it could still make people rush to it.
As the person who made the suggestion said, "One person is narrow-minded, but the public opinion is broad."
When the enthusiasm of the businessmen and political elites was aroused, they used all the resources they could mobilize to do this.
In Wall Street, in the financial city, in all corners of the world. Every inch of power was mobilized. The behemoth of capital was out of its cage. It was ready to eat people, but where was its prey now?
"Ah, it's a little boring." In the office of Marvel Entertainment, Li Jie folded paper airplanes.
Now businessmen and politicians all over the world were doing all kinds of bidding and preparing. Marvel Entertainment, which was invited, was naturally working hard.
Although his employees were very busy, Li Jie was very idle in the office. He knew that he would win the bid, but he still had to come to the company to pretend and work overtime. This was a disgusting scene, and he really wanted to go home.
"Forget it. I'd better find something to do. I can't be idle all the time," Li Jie mumbled, then made a call to Robert Downey Jr.
In fact, some entertainment groups, including Marvel Entertainment, have also received invitations to provide local products to the Nova Corps. However, most people were not optimistic about these entertainment groups.
Even the world's largest corporation, Disney, was not optimistic about it. Everyone felt that aliens definitely did not need Earthlings to act in their movies or TV series.
What did they need this for? Perhaps everyone's aesthetic standards were different, and the movies, TV series, or other things that were released violated taboos.
After all, the culture was different, and no one knew what the new army hated. If he hastily took out these things and caused a dispute, who would be responsible?
However, there were also bold companies that were ready to try the cultural product route. Perhaps there would be aliens with strange tastes who would like this?
But as for the specific products that the Nova Corps liked, no one knew. They could only deal with it in a way that was based on luck.
In Beverly Hills, Leonardo was deep in thought. He vaguely felt that he seemed to have grasped something, but he couldn't say what it was specifically.
However, Leonardo was not prepared to say anything he knew. Because Dawn Technology had signed a super large contract with him worth more than 500 million US dollars.
This was the most expensive endorsement contract he had seen in more than 20 years of being in the film industry. The whole world was looking at it. All the stars in Hollywood were envious of Leonardo.
Even Leonardo's agent couldn't sleep for a few days. Because as the agent, he could get a 10% commission. Although this contract had little to do with the management company. It was completely Leonardo who took it privately. However, the legal issues were handled by the management company.
Although the management company was quite critical of Leonardo's private endorsement and plastic surgery (credit to the Beauty X Potion). But when the 500 million US dollar contract was thrown in their faces, even the CEO of CAA had to tell his employees not to make Leonardo unhappy.
Everyone had to be like a dog around Leonardo. Leonardo's image had changed, and his future path needed to be changed as well. Perhaps he could even target the young and mature women market. Now, Leonardo's acting skills were even more refined than when he was 20. He could challenge many young actors and actresses.
Although Leonardo's image had changed greatly, and he had to give up many of the endorsements he had accepted before. The brands that focused on the mature men market all terminated their contracts with Leonardo. Because Leonardo had breached the contract, he had to pay these companies a large sum of money.
However, Dawn Technology was rich enough to pay all the liquidated damages for Leonardo. The whole world now knew that in terms of robbing money, drug dealers all over the world couldn't compete with Tony Stark's hair tonic, beauty lotion, and beauty potion, even if they desperately produced hallucinogens and hung their heads from their waists.
Dawn Technology was now the company with the largest cash flow and profits in the world, and by an overwhelming margin.
Dawn Technology belonged to Tony Stark, and Tony Stark was Iron Man. Iron Man was one of the first people from Earth to come into contact with the Nova Corps. Although it seemed that he had the help of the Inhumans, hadn't Iron Man already been in contact with Erani and the others?
He had even sent Leonardo over as a gift … Cough … Leonardo had gone over to accompany him.
Then Tony Stark, the Iron Man, should know something that others did not. For example, what the Nova Corps liked!
Thinking of this, Leonardo suddenly felt he understood something. He stood up and clapped his hands. "Yes! This is all part of a business conspiracy! It turns out that Tony Stark is such a sinister villain! "
Leonardo felt that he had vaguely guessed the mastermind behind this world farce. It was all Tony Stark's conspiracy! This guy in steel armor was, after all, a businessman.
Businessmen pursued the maximum profit. Otherwise, why would he create Dawn Technology to rob the world of money?
Leonardo was hesitating. Should he go public? Or not? Was there any benefit in going public with Tony's conspiracy? Or was it better not to go public?
As a superstar who had been in and out of Hollywood for many years, Leonardo knew very well that he could not easily say anything. Otherwise, if he did not handle it well, then everything he had would vanish into thin air.
He was a superstar, yes, but his superstar title was not worth mentioning in front of Tony Stark. He could easily crush him to death, and no one would know.
Just as Leonardo was feeling anxious, two guests suddenly came to his house. The maid led them to the swimming pool in the backyard to meet him.
"Tony Stark?" Leonardo suddenly felt a little guilty when he saw them.
Tony Stark waved his hand. "Please, Mr. Best Actor. We have been neighbors for so long, can't you tell me the right name? "
Hearing this, Leonardo was relieved. He said with a sigh of relief, "Downey?"
"Yes, it's me." Robert Downey Jr. nodded and pointed to the person next to him. He said to Leonardo, "Let me introduce you. This is the boss of my last movie. He is also the president of the latest entertainment group in Hollywood, Jason Li. "
After Downey's introduction, Li Jie smiled and said to Leonardo, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Leonardo."
Li Jie stretched out his hand and shook hands with Leonardo. Leonardo asked with some doubt, "Hello, Mr. Li. What can I do for you? "
Li Jie did not speak. He took out a few small things (like a few metal buttons) and gently threw them into the air.
Several metal button-like objects were suspended in mid-air, forming a protective shield that looked like a shadow.
"Don't be surprised. These are just some toys that Tony Stark gave me. I don't want anyone to hear what I'm going to say next. Modern eavesdropping technology is much more sophisticated than you think. "Li Jie had a meaningful smile on his face.
Leonardo's heart suddenly skipped a beat when he heard the name Tony Stark. Was everything planned by Tony Stark? Was it all part of his plan? What did he want to do? Leonardo was puzzled.
Robert Downey Jr. was also surprised by what Li Jie wanted to do.
