New York International Airport.
It could be said that New York's airport had been extremely busy recently. Flights from different companies from all over the world were continuously sending people who were going to participate in the Stark Industrial Fair.
The only place busier than the flights was the New York Harbor. Since the beginning of the year, a large number of exhibition equipment had been shipped from across the ocean to participate in this grand event that was held once every four years.
Compared to people who only needed to be present, the equipment always needed to be assembled and tested for a long period of time after being transported over long distances.
The equipment had to be adjusted to the most suitable state before it could be displayed at the exhibition. If your equipment wasn't displayed in the best condition, you might miss out on potential customers.
And they might have hundreds of millions of dollars worth of orders on their hands.
The Stark Industrial Fair was now no longer just an exhibition for a few companies to play around with each other, but a competition of industrial power between countries.
In the early twentieth century, there was a saying: "Whoever controls steel controls the world." Steel production was the standard to measure a powerful country.
In the middle of the twentieth century, this saying became: "Whoever controls energy controls the world." That was why there were continuous wars in the Middle East and Northeast Africa.
Now, the slogan everyone was shouting was: "Whoever controls information controls the world."
It seemed that the world really changed a lot. Every era had to grasp different things in order to control it.
In fact, putting aside superficial things, according to the law that humans had concluded in the past century, only by grasping technology could one control the future, and only by controlling the future could one control the world. Therefore, everyone came to the Stark Industrial Fair to look forward to the future!
Scientists and manufacturers from all over the world had arrived in New York early, and the rent in New York and Atlantic City had skyrocketed.
But even with the skyrocketing rent and hotel prices, there was still no shortage of customers during this period. Even five-star hotels that were usually hard to fill up, such as the Marriott and Hilton Hill, were already full.
Many manufacturers had no choice but to move their accommodation to Buffalo, which was further away. Even if they took the highway without stopping, it would still take more than three hours to get from the Stark Industrial Fair to Buffalo. This month-long exhibition was going to be a tough tug-of-war for these people.
It was very troublesome to pick up people at the New York Airport during the period when the passenger flow was skyrocketing because there were too many people.
Fortunately, as S.H.E.L.D. agents, Coulson and Hawkeye Barton do not need to crowd the airport entrance with everyone else. After all, S.H.E.L.D. still had some privileges.
A Lincoln SUV that they used to pick them up was parked on the inspection lane of the airport. Here, they could directly pick up the agents from the Shen Ming and Mao Bureau on the runway.
For S.H.E.L.D., receiving guests from the Spear Game was a formal diplomatic affair. Of course, they didn't want too many people to attend the Spear Game.
After all, the other party was an intelligence organization just like them. If the people from the Spear Game were to roam around the Divine Shield's territory and collect intelligence, it would embarrass S.H.E.L.D.. Although intelligence organizations generally infiltrated each other, that was all in private. It would be embarrassing if they did it openly.
The message from the Spear Game was that they had sent two agents to the United States to observe and learn from the advanced experience of S.H.E.L.D., and to establish a new normal cooperation mechanism on the basis of mutual trust between the two sides.
The two sides should deepen exchanges and learn from each other on the basis of mutual benefit and mutual trust. At the same time, the Spear Game also sent the same invitation to S.H.E.L.D., hoping that S.H.E.L.D. would send a corresponding agent to China to carry out learning and research work ….
"Can't the Spear Game make what they want to say simpler?" Hawkeye sat in the passenger seat and looked at the information handed to him by Hill.
He was not used to the way China wrote diplomatic rhetoric, and Hawkeye had never been known for handling paperwork, so he felt that he was almost confused by the diplomatic documents sent by the Spear Game.
Fortunately, Coulson was very good at dealing with these things. Coulson himself was never known for his combat effectiveness. His individual combat effectiveness was almost in the lower reaches of the field agents of the same level, barely at the bottom.
But he was the most important field agent in S.H.E.L.D., because there were many things that could not be solved by fighting.
"Simply put, the Spear Game wants to have a normal contact mechanism with S.H.E.L.D... The two agents they sent this time are not just here for a tour, "Coulson explained to Hawkeye.
"It's like sending an ambassador or a diplomat. They want our two organizations to communicate with each other and even share some intelligence. I guess that's what the Spear Game is trying to say."
Coulson's words made Hawkeye frown, "Are you kidding me? There's no extradition treaty between China and the United States. How can we really cooperate? The members of the Ten Rings gang who were arrested last time are still in the United States and haven't been extradited back to China! "
Coulson shrugged and made a puzzled expression, "I don't know what they're trying to do. But have you heard of the legend? It's about the bureau. "
"Shield and Spear? Do you believe in the legend that the two organizations are actually one? Please, that's nonsense. It's good enough that we don't hold each other back. "Hawkeye's attitude represented the attitude of most SHIELD agents.
After all, it was not the first time that China and the United States had held each other back. Do you really want to be a loving family? Stop it!
But Coulson obviously seemed to know something. He said in a slightly puzzled tone, "Yes, I was like you. But you know, I have a good relationship with the captain. Once, I participated in the Disabled Veterans Association's activity with him. "
"He said something to me. The captain's attitude towards the Spear Game is a little ambiguous. He doesn't see Spear as our enemy and competitor. "
Hawkeye suddenly became interested when he heard this. "What did the captain say?"
"The captain said: We are just two sides of the same thing. The two sides of the long sword look parallel to each other, but they finally meet at the tip of the sword." Coulson recalled what Captain Rogers said. He and Hawkeye were both lost in thought. They were thinking about the meaning behind the captain's words.
While the two were thinking silently, the plane carrying the Spear Game agents finally arrived at New York International Airport.
Hawkeye and Coulson could only give up discussing these things. After all, it was more important to do the task first.
The two people from China Spear Game were a man and a woman. The male agent was about 1.8 meters tall. His body was not the physique of a European or American man, but the tight shirt showed that he was actually very strong.
He had a sharp and slightly square face. Thick eyebrows and big eyes described this kind of person.
The female agent, on the other hand, had short black hair and was neat. She had the appearance of a typical Oriental beauty, with a delicate oval face and big eyes. Although she did not wear makeup, she was still a great beauty.
"S.H.E.L.D. Level 7 Agent Coulson, S.H.E.L.D. Level 7 Agent Barton, you can also call me by my nickname Hawkeye." The two went up to make a simple self-introduction.
The male agent of the Spear Game smiled and nodded. "Hello, I am China Spear Game Agent Shang Qi."
The female agent raised her left hand slightly. When she spoke, Barton discovered that she was chewing bubble gum. "Li Qianhuan." Simple and direct introduction.
She glanced at Barton, who was staring at her chewing gum. She rummaged in the pocket of her denim shorts and took out a large piece of bubble gum that was still warm. "You want to eat it? This is the last piece. "
"No, thank you." Hawkeye shook his head.
"Get in the car first. We have arranged a good place for you." Coulson entertained the two and prepared to go to a place to stay.
But the girl named Li Qianhuan suddenly said, "Is it easy to buy the Dawn Skin Potion in the United States? I want to buy some first. If you know Tony Stark, can you order some for me? Of course, I will pay for it. A little commission is fine too. "
"What?" Coulson did not react.
"Qianhuan." Shang Qi glanced at Li Qianhuan.
"Don't look at me like that, boss. I don't want to buy it. Do you know how many people ask me to buy it when I come to the United States? " Li Qianhuan took out a small piece of paper from her other pocket. It was a long list of the names and quantities of the buyers.
"In addition to the people in the bureau, my mother, my sister, and so on. If I can't bring it back, they will kill me. Do you know how difficult it is to buy Dawn Skin Potion in China?! "Li Qianhuan's tone was very serious.
Coulson, who was responsible for driving the two, looked at Shang Qi helplessly, asking him what to do with his eyes.
