The Stark Industries Headquarters Building, also known as the Stark Tower, is located on East 45th Street at Grand Central Station in Manhattan, New York, USA. It was completed in the 1990s and is approximately 350 meters high with a total of 89 floors.
Howard, originally the founder and owner of Stark Industries, bought a piece of land on the east side of Grand Central Station and planned to build a new headquarters for his automobile company. It was later built here at the suggestion of Obadiah.
It became the tallest building in New York City at the time and one of the most famous sights on the New York skyline.
But it is a pity that Howard was not able to see the completion of this building. After Stark grew up and took over the Stark Group, the building was repaired many times. Now it has become a high-tech laboratory.
The group headquarters and commercial office building are integrated into a giant building.
Many New Yorkers also like to jokingly call this place the "Triangle Tower" because the shape of the Stark Tower is a right-angled triangle. The building on the east side is taller. From the 79th to 89th floors are Stark's personal laboratories.
The building on the west side is shorter and is a commercial office building, where Stark Group employees work.
Although this design makes the appearance of the building look a bit weird, it is very practical in terms of practicality. The two buildings are connected to each other but do not interfere with each other. Although it was criticized by many landscape experts when it was built, they believed that this strange-shaped building
It ruined the beauty of the New York skyline, but to this day, the Stark Tower has become an indispensable part of the New York travel strategy.
The first Stark Industries Expo was organized and held by Howard Stark in 1919. Before the 20th century, Stark Industries Expo was the largest industrial expo in the world.
After Howard's death, Tony Stark, who inherited the Stark Group, did not like to hold industrial expos very much. Therefore, from the late 1990s to the early 21st century, the Stark Industrial Expo no longer flourished. To this day,
Tony Stark said at the press conference in Stark Tower, facing flashlights and microphones:
"The most important part of human industrial development has been forgotten for many years. I cannot blame it. I am very disappointed that after the death of the founder of Stark Group, I have never heard of any industrial fair in the world.
, can stand up and fill this gap.”
"And now, what I want to tell you is that you will receive an invitation that may be the most important in your life. You will witness with your own eyes how far human industrial development has come. If in the past few decades,
The blank period is my negligence, so I will use a Stark Industries Expo to tell you."
Stark looked around, and the reporters around him looked at him without saying a word.
Reporters are very familiar with Stark, but most of the time, Pepper stands in front of reporters and explains to reporters that the bad things Stark did will not have any big impact, and then the drunk Tony is removed.
He was dragged up from behind the scenes and said a few perfunctory words to the reporters.
But now, all reporters can see that the Mr. Stark in front of them is a little different.
Stark used to be very arrogant. He often said something like "Ordinary people can't understand me", "You never know what kind of changes my invention will bring to mankind" or "Those small things are not important at all. I am about to change mankind."
Words like "the progress of industrial development" are on the lips.
Arrogance is his business card, and frivolousness is his byword. But this time, Stark's tone is very different, and even these reporters who have heard various celebrities' sophistry focus on him.
on the body.
"There are many rumors in this world that are difficult to distinguish between true and false, and your job is to spread them, but these things can never really change the world. You can't do it. That Yin Fanwanke can't do it. He is standing behind him.
Even the air force, army and navy cannot do it."
Finally, Stark said into the phone: "But I can."
Stark picked up an invitation from the table and showed it to the reporters.
Said: "This is the ticket for Noah's Ark in the new century. If you don't want to board the ship, just stay in the decaying waves and wait for death."
Countless flashes were lit, and the sound of filming resounded loudly along with the noisy questions. Stark's calm face was photographed and frozen in one newspaper after another.
The newspaper screen shook, and the hand holding the newspaper was put down, and Peter's face was revealed behind him. He took a bite of the hot dog and said to Gwen next to him: "I didn't expect you actually got tickets to the Stark Industry Expo. I thought
"
Gwen shrugged and said, "Recently there have been overwhelming reports about Stark. I happen to be very interested in the Industrial Expo, so I asked my dad to get me two tickets. Let's go together."
Speaking of this, Peter became a little angry, "I think some reporters are distorting the facts."
"I know you are a fan of Stark. You said that he was nice to you when you were an intern at the Stark Group." Gwen turned to look at Peter. Peter sighed and said a little frustrated: "
Do you also think he is a bad person? But"
Gwen patted Peter on the shoulder and said: "The Stark that many people know from reports may be different from the Stark you know, but this is normal because people are multi-faceted."
"You think they are smearing your idol, but they also think you are clearing his name. But no matter what, I am more concerned about whether Stark can really achieve what he said in the press conference.
Bold words.”
Gwen took off her schoolbag, then dug out two invitations from inside, handed one to Peter, and said, "Take it apart and have a look. If the design is too ugly, we won't go."
Peter turned the invitation upside down and said, "From the outside, it doesn't look like anything special."
As he said that, he opened the invitation, and Gwen did the same as him, and then said a little disappointedly: "The design of the invitation is quite ordinary. There is a card inside, which says please come to East 45th Street at Grand Central Station in Manhattan.
Stark Group Headquarters Building 90th Floor"
"Wait!" Peter interrupted Gwen. He picked up the card in the invitation and looked at it carefully, and said in surprise: "90th floor? Where does the 90th floor come from in the Stark Tower? That building only has
Floor 89!”
Gwen also looked at it and said doubtfully: "You must have counted it wrong, right?" After that, she returned her eyes to the invitation and said: "Both of our cards say there are 90 layers, so it should be
It’s not a typo.”
Peter scratched his head and sounded a little uncertain: "I remember it was only the 89th floor? At least the elevator must go to the 89th floor."
"Is it possible that he plans to let us visit from the top of the building?"
"And I remember" Gwen took the newspaper that Peter had put down and pointed to the picture of Stark Tower in one of the reports and said: "The exhibition hall in Stark Tower should not be in the shorter building on the left.
The top floor? How can this building have 90 floors?”
"Indeed, I also visited that exhibition hall. It is really big. It should be more than enough to hold an industrial expo."
Just when Peter and Gwen were confused, other people who received the invitation also had the same doubts as them. Even if they were standing on the roof of other buildings and using telescopes to look at the Stark Tower, they could count the numbers one by one.
, and indeed there are only 89 floors, not 90 floors at all.
Many reporters seized on this and began to attack Stark. They claimed that this was a bad joke by Playboy, saying that he did anything to attract attention and gain gimmicks.
The struggle before death.
Indeed, after Stark made those bold words, most industrial groups and large companies were angered by his arrogant attitude. If Stark's words before were more like a nouveau riche who didn't know the heights of the world,
Stark was bragging, but now he was serious, and his taunts made many people break their guard.
Because a fact is before them: a person who is so rotten still has developed the mecha technology that transcends the times, and can even wear that handsome mecha and be a superhero in New York.
Many scientists and leaders of industrial groups who are not living a satisfactory life can't help but fantasize that if they develop this kind of technology, they won't be as naive as Stark and wear a suit to become a superhero.
They fantasize about cooperating with the military, increasing production, controlling the mechanical army, and even dominating the world.
Therefore, they laughed and satirized Stark even more confidently, thinking that his choice was extremely childish.
Many people said that Stark made the wrong choice in every aspect, which caused him to fall into such a quagmire. If it were them, they would not only have to cooperate with the military, but also with their peers. Everyone should join hands.
Come, use this technology to seize the market, divide the monopoly profits, or participate in international political games.
But no matter how you do it, it will definitely be much more mature than putting on an iron shell and fighting for justice in New York.
The most ironic thing is that Stark is the target of his chivalrous acts. The ordinary people he protects and saves do not appreciate this. In fact, the public's opposition to Stark and Iron Man is even greater than that of Stark.
Colleagues are even more fierce.
In short, whether they are colleagues, military personnel or ordinary people, after receiving this invitation, they still plan to attend.
Most of them wanted to have fun and wanted to see how this notorious playboy planned to pull off this stunt.
There are also many self-proclaimed professional scientists who plan to use their professional knowledge to expose Stark's scam. Many ambitious young people with no talent plan to watch Stark's jokes to comfort themselves. These rich people are just lucky.
There are only a few people like Peter and Gwen who want to come to study and visit simply because they are interested in industry and machinery.
