Writing diary complaints and being seen by Iron Man.

Chapter 497: Superhero? Why not become president?

No wonder it has become the leading evil force in the world. With a revenue of at least 100 billion per year, it is truly a very terrifying consortium.

"My goodness, to be a superhero you have to pay attention to support rate and skin color..." Hawkeye Barton couldn't help but complain.

To become superheroes, they are not arranged to go to different cities like this. Basically, they become superheroes where they are born and where they work.

Skin color and the like were not considered at all.

What is the support rate within different ethnic groups, and the impact of different skin colors on favorability.

"It's a pity that he doesn't run for president. With such a large and professional team, it would be a waste to do anything else except running for president." Black Widow Natasha also complained.

In the video, Medellin laughed dryly and continued: "I know this price is hard for you to accept, but you and I both know that your city needs a superhero."

When the mayor of Baltimore heard this, he just laughed dryly and said, "I will marry the Nubian prince for $200 million a year. This will make the people more accepting."

Medellin refused, saying: "I'm sorry Steve, but I can't accept it. Atlanta is still waiting."

I think you can accept it.”

The mayor of Baltimore spoke up.

"What do you mean?" Medellin was a little confused. He didn't know what the other party's bargaining chip was with him.
The mayor of Baltimore stepped forward confidently and said, "I happened to know something about Compound No. 5."

This item immediately aroused the interest of everyone outside the screen. Lin Feng's diary mentioned the matter of Compound No. 5 more than once. Combining the past and the present, the birth of those superheroes may be directly related to Compound No. 5.

"What is Compound Five?"

After two seconds of silence in the air, Medellin continued with a smile.

"This thing can ruin the reputation of all your superheroes. I don't want to do this. People need superheroes."

The mayor of Baltimore said confidently: "I can guarantee that this is just a rumor, because I am your friend, but friendship is also a double-edged sword."

Medellin had an awkward smile on his face, but still said firmly: "I'm sorry, Steve, I don't know what you are talking about, a flat price of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Otherwise we'll go to Atlanta."

Outside the screen, Toby Spider, Peter Parker and others who came from the lower class all widened their eyes. It was the first time for them to see the collusion between politicians and businessmen at the top level of this country.

To be precise, they have heard this kind of thing so many times that even they themselves have become accustomed to it and don't take it seriously.

But I have basically never seen how they collude in private.

It turns out to be so naked and without any cover.

The transactions were essentially no different from those of the small traders they knew, except for the amounts involved.

The profits amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars can be explained clearly in just a few words.

The scene changed and showed the new hero Starlight attending the Big Seven meeting for the first time.

The other six giants had already arrived.

"Xingguang, you don't want to be late for the first meeting, do you? I have prepared a whole welcome speech." Homelander turned and looked at Xingguang with a kind smile on his face, not at all like the dark side of DC Superman that Lin Feng had mentioned.

However, people have been reading the diary for a long time, so naturally they would not doubt the truthfulness of what Lin Feng said. It can only be said that at this stage, the Homelander has probably not yet revealed his identity as a super villain.

"I'm sorry, Captain," Starlight apologized.

"Please take a seat and just call me Homelander." Homelander turned around, waved his hand and said.

"I'm beginning to wonder if you'll come." Shen Hai said with a somewhat leisurely expression. "I mean, the pressure is so great that it would be a bit difficult for anyone to bear it."

"Yeah, don't worry, I'm fine. I'm here and I won't leave." Xingguang saw the deep sea with uncontrollable anger in his eyes. He was about to burst out with his powerful superpowers but was interrupted by the invisible man.

"This is a serious crime," the Invisible Man babbled. "These bastards released a pirated copy of my movie three weeks before it was released. You can't walk down Fifth Avenue without seeing a couple of unbranded Homelander T-shirts."

He hid his figure, so everyone could only see clothes, glasses, pens and papers floating in an inexplicable pattern.

"Every year Walt spends $1.2 billion on copyright infringement. This is money taken out of our pockets. Each of us should share $400 million."

The invisible man chattered on and on.

"What the hell..." The locomotive couldn't help but say. "So you have 400 million dollars?" "Obviously, his lawyer is even more powerful." Queen Maeve said.

"Hey, hey, hey, everyone, calm down." Homelander called out. "That's enough. How will Starlight see us? Listening to us quarreling over some small money, my God, we are the Seven Giants, we should also act like the giants ourselves. Okay, now I want to hear who you rescued this week. Who agrees with this idea?
Xuanse, let’s start with you, buddy.”

There is no doubt that these so-called superheroes made the superheroes outside the screen stare wide-eyed. Their stingy look for money also made them feel uncomfortable.

They also receive excess profits through Tony Stark's distribution channels, and through image licensing, they are able to get a lot of money every month, but they generally don't have much demand for money.

Part of the money Tony Stark earned for them every month was used to cover basic costs, part was kept for himself, but more was entrusted to Tony Stark for charitable operations.

It is genuine charitable operation, not those operations where the rich appear to be doing charity but are actually doing it to avoid taxes.

Tony Stark understands these very well. After all, when it comes to charity, no one knows it better than America's wealthy people.

Do you think they are just avoiding taxes?

No, they use charitable foundations to bring down the industrial chains of each country, and then dump the products produced in their own farms and factories at low prices.

Many people know that Bill Gates is keen on charity, but few people know that he used his foundation to build a business empire worth hundreds of billions of dollars in Africa.

The industrial chains of countless small African countries have been destroyed, forcing them to rely on their own agricultural products.

Tony Stark has seen this kind of thing many times. Usually, a small portion of the money is given to charity, and the rest is squandered on food, drink, and entertainment.

Fortunately, he did not intend to do so and really wanted to do charity.

Of course, doing charity in the United States is not that easy, because charity is also a big cake. If you really do charity and really help the poor get out of poverty and become rich, then you are touching other people's cake.

I don’t know how many people have made a fortune by doing charity for the poor.

So in the eyes of many people, Tony Stark is really a thorn in the eye, but he is just too debt-ridden and not afraid of it.

This short clip vividly shows how these superheroes are full of money in private.

The scene changes again, and under the cover of night, the mayor of Baltimore receives a call from Medellin on his way to the airport.

"Ms. Stillwell, I'm not sure you would call," the mayor of Baltimore said with great certainty, unaware of the impending doom he was about to face.

"You are still angry, but I can... I am willing to reduce the price to 230 million US dollars for the Nubian prince!" Medellin seemed to have made a great decision.

"That makes sense, Medellin, thank you!" the Baltimore mayor said with a smile.

"Steve, everything about this Compound 5 and the rumors you heard about my superheroes are slanderous and completely untrue, but we all know how they spread, so I advise you to be careful with what you say," Medellin said with a hint of threat.

"Of course, I promise," said the mayor of Baltimore.

"Thank you, have a safe journey." Medellin said with a sigh of relief.

Medellin compromised, and everyone outside the screen saw it. It was obvious that there was something else behind what the mayor of Baltimore said. Compound No. 5 really had some kind of problem, just as Lin Feng said.

Even if this matter were to be exposed, it would destroy the credibility of Water Corporation and cause this huge company with hundreds of billions of dollars in annual revenue to collapse. What a terrible thing that would be.

"Compound No. 5." Tony Stark narrowed his eyes. Obviously, this Compound No. 5 should be a specialty of the universe where the locomotive is located. So far, he has not heard Lin Feng say that people in other universes also have Compound No. 5.

But the question is, when the locomotive came to the Marvel Universe from the Sony Universe, did it also bring some Compound No. 5? If it really did bring some, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even a powerful company CEO like Medellin has to bow to the mayor of Baltimore.

What kind of evidence could make her make such a decision?

But before everyone was sure that the matter was over, the scene changed and the mayor of Baltimore was still comforting his children in a private plane.

"Don't worry kid, it's just a little bump, it'll be fine."

Obviously, he didn't know how serious this matter would be.

But his son saw someone flying in the clouds outside the plane window, appearing and disappearing.

He called his father.
