As Stark speculated, the reconstruction of New York City after the war became the biggest problem facing the city right now.
This is not something that can be done by just starting over after the three or five buildings that fell down. After the Chitauri and an alien beast made a big fuss, New York, especially Manhattan, was almost completely filled up. God knows how many soldiers and people there were.
died in this disaster.
In the next month, all relevant personnel basically used the word "poor" as the main theme. The New York City government went to the state government to cry about poverty, the state government went to the federal government to cry about poverty, and then Mr. President went to the capitalists one by one to cry about poverty...
…
If this is a competition, then the outcome will probably not be in suspense when the major insurance companies jump out. Because if you want to say who is worse in this disaster, no one can beat the insurance company. If
If the contract was really followed, the insurance industry would have to compensate for the loss of building property and human life in almost half of the city. Obviously, that is completely unrealistic. If this was really done, insurance company executives across the United States would have to start planning to run away now.
On the way.
Anyway, everyone pushed and pushed, and in the end the two words stood out: no money! Mr. President spent the whole day lobbying and soliciting donations, and his leather shoes were worn out, but he didn't get much money.
Of course, international friends also have to raise funds, but everyone politely stops by and donates some money symbolically, which probably conveys the meaning of "we have made a contribution" and that's it.
Helpless, the White House threw out contracts on a large scale to attract retail investors to help with the work. They offered generous terms, signed contracts with individuals and small groups to help clean up the battlefield, and intentionally or unintentionally left in the contracts
Loopholes that can be exploited to make money. This method is indeed effective. A large number of retail investors are attracted to help clean up the battlefield, including the famous villain Vulture in "Spider-Man: Homecoming"...
But of course, this is just a drop in the bucket. New York is a bottomless pit right now. A bunch of people are trying to sell things and they can't even fill 1% of the hole. Rebuilding it is a huge project, and it won't happen overnight.
Mr. President is about to cry without tears. As we all know, the President of the United States is equivalent to a contractor. After his term is over, it is another question whether he can continue to sit in this position for the next term. But this Mr. President obviously has a bad face, and everyone else is fine sitting in this position.
The whole time he took office, there were constant rumors, including alien beasts and human experiments. This time, a bunch of aliens came and blew up New York.
Based on this situation, it seems that there is no hope for New York to return to its original state until he finishes his term. He will definitely be labeled as the "worst president in history". The enthusiastic people don't care about alien invasion and him.
Doesn't it matter? Anyway, he has made so many mistakes during his term, and his financial deficit has made him shameless. The critics are afraid that he will be so criticized that even his own mother will not recognize him.
Then at this moment, the savior of the White House appeared.
Maybe this is a characteristic of the American comic book world. Every time such a devastating battle is fought, there must be at least one good person who is rich, influential, and happens to have a high level of ideological awareness to deal with the aftermath.
Next door there was a certain playboy who had a strange habit of going out and climbing walls in the middle of the night, and over here it was naturally a reincarnated Tony Stark.
Stark showed up at the White House with a large sum of money and a complete plan, and volunteered to shoulder the responsibility of rebuilding New York. He relied on his famous reputation to open up joints and used his influence to attract more entrepreneurs to invest.
.
Unexpectedly, the first person to respond to the call was none other than Wilson Fisk, who made his fortune through crime. Kingpin was more concerned about the construction of New York than anyone else, and besides Stark, he contributed the most money and effort.
After all, Kingpin was the underworld emperor of New York, and now that all of New York is gone, wouldn't he become the emperor of the refugee slum?
The Stark Group is already the leader in the enterprise, and Stark's reputation as Iron Man is at its peak. Many people soon responded to the call and joined in. Of course, the capitalists could not be fooled by the government's nice words and good looks.
Persuaded by the blank check, more people believed in the potential of Stark's golden brand.
The White House was extremely happy, and Mr. President felt that Stark was simply a reincarnation of his parents in his political career. It seemed that even Stark's arrogant face looked more pleasing to the eye!
Naturally, the government had no choice but to express its willingness to offer such a huge benefit, so the government temporarily integrated Stark's reconstruction forces to form a new high-level agency, which later became the famous Marvel-specific agency "Disaster Control Bureau."
An agency specifically responsible for wiping the butts of super heroes.
The nature of this organization is similar to that of S.H.I.E.L.D. It also recruits elite agents and soldiers from major intelligence and military departments, and finally forms a large multi-functional organization. As the person who contributes the most money and contributes the most, Tony Stark naturally does his part.
He became the director of the Disaster Control Bureau, which can be regarded as a high-level official.
However, with the emergence of the Disaster Control Bureau, those small contracts signed by the government before were naturally invalidated. A certain vulture even wanted to sell his pants, and invested all his belongings in this prehistoric pit, dreaming of getting rich.
Mr. Tucker waved his hand and all contracts were voided!
Vulture went bankrupt and quit on the spot. He took a group of friends underground and started a business without capital...
Stark stepped forward to take the lead at this critical moment. His spirit is commendable and worthy of admiration, but Richard is actually not optimistic about this.
Judging from the history of Marvel's original works, Tony Stark is a qualified businessman, a world-leading scientist, and an admirable super hero, but he is only a failed politician.
Basically all the stains in Stark's life came after he got involved in politics. In the comics, Stark's series of suffocating operations when he was the director of SHIELD are simply not mentioned. Although Tony in the MCU movie is not like that.
A serious stain, but judging from his personal character, Richard was still not very optimistic about him running into politics.
But this is just a thought, and Richard is not too busy to tell others what to do. After all, they haven't gotten to know each other that well yet, and he doesn't have the position to tell others about their choices.
What satisfied Richard was that the guy from Lu Dan was really good at keeping his word. He even paid for the repairs to his house, and even paid a large sum of money. I don’t know if it was considered as labor expenses for his efforts in New York.
Richard was not pretentious and accepted it generously. With this money, he could also expand the manor or dig a swimming pool in his backyard.
What he didn't expect at all was that Asgard actually expressed his reaction to the deep pit that Thor blasted in his yard.
Just one day after the battle, Thor brought the Cosmic Cube to his backyard.
