[Comprehensive Anglo-American] Gem Merchant

The agent continued to write the report carefully. The moment he joined S.H.I.E.L.D., he was destined to restrain his excess curiosity. Therefore, although he paid a lot of attention to this mysterious store manager, he still knew how to measure it.

This is probably the reason why he was able to stay in the store in peace for more than two years.

The report records the selling price and purchase content of each transaction. If you can know the name of the customer, you can also attach the personal information of the trader like this time-this means that what the other party said is often It's a pseudonym, or they just don't care.

As for the commodities sold, these alchemy products have long been different from ordinary gems, and he does not know what kind of power they each have.

The days when there were no customers went smoothly, so the detective simply set up a wireless network in the store, and the two of them had a cup of hot cocoa with the store manager, and lay in the armchair to watch the news.

"...The latest research and development results of the Stark Industries Group, the mass production plan of the B-type improved directional tracking missile has been officially released, and the results of the second phase of the experiment have successfully completed the design expectations. This weapon is expected to be released to..."

The agent frowned and switched channels.

"You're not interested in this?"

Alphonse said curiously, "I thought boys your age liked things like dancing with guns."

"If I'm interested in these things, why don't I go to Gotham and become a cop."

The little detective rolled his eyes, and after two years of getting along with him, he finally had the courage to face this alchemist: "He is a warmonger, and he made a lot of money. I must have never seen a reclusive alchemist like you." Such a team. And I am a second-level agent of SHIELD, the kind who passed the secrecy test, and I am no longer a boy."

Alphonse searched for the entry "Tony Stark" on the smartphone he entrusted the clerk to buy, and Wikipedia came up with a lot of exaggerated descriptions, well-known entrepreneurs, arms dealers, the chief CEO of Stark Industries, philanthropists, And the inventor of a bunch of proper nouns whose names can't be pronounced right in one breath.

"He is a very powerful person."

He commented pertinently: "At least it has boosted a lot of GDP and paid a lot of taxes."

"But what he sells...!"

The clerk argued, remembering that the shopkeeper was not an ordinary person, and closed his mouth aggrieved at the end, which made Alphonse find it particularly funny.

"If the rubies bought by those two people were simply detonated, each one should have the effect of the missile in the news."

Alphonse smiled and said the horrifying content. As expected, he saw his clerk jump up and pick up the laptop to quickly type the report with his fingers. After the other party had almost finished writing, he slowly added it One sentence: "...but I'm sure they wouldn't do that."

Clerk: "..."

The rookie agent suddenly inhaled and then exhaled: "If you are really bored, I will download some mobile games for you to play, and stop making fun of me."

Alphonse shook his head. He had seen the ticking images on the other party's mobile phone, and the electronically synthesized sound effects were endless, but...

"I've tried it before."

Alphonse said sincerely: "But the death is too fast, and the teammates will curse in different ways in the team voice. In this case, it is hard for me not to curse them."

——Especially after the other party provocatively said "You have the ability to hit me along the network cable".

He really has this ability.

"..."

The clerk blinked, and after evaluating his workload rationally, he quietly hid the phone in the drawer, deciding not to let his boss start thinking about participating in competitive games one day.

The keyboard man cannot be allowed to destroy the precious world peace.

……

Some people, if you don't switch the TV channel, they will completely disappear in your world-especially an arms dealer with a strong sense of presence.When the New York Daily used an entire page to publish the latest news about Tony Stark, even if he didn't take the initiative to learn about it, Alphonse could only be regarded as a one-sided acquaintance with this person.

"...Your S.H.I.E.L.D. should also have his files?"

The owner calculated the inventory in the store and the purchasing power of a richest man, which would probably allow him to save a lot of income: "Are you sure he is an ordinary person?"

"If you are talking about ordinary people in the mysterious field, yes, boss."

Agent Kevin swears that the level of items that can get in touch with Tony Stark will be set at least above level five, but as far as he knows, those departments do not involve mysterious things: "What about wizards, alchemists, and strange creatures? Nothing to do with it.”

His boss looked a little disappointed.

Edelfelt jewelry is only sold to those more "special" customers, that is to say, no matter how suitable a potential customer Stark is, he cannot sell any to him without breaking through the boundary line of the mysterious world. gem.

"Ok."

The blond store manager suddenly felt dull: "What about the stocks? The stocks of Stark Industries, the thing you mentioned called the financial market...how about that?"

"It's booming."

The clerk replied: "The stock price is soaring every year, what's wrong?"

"Then help me buy some."

Alphonse waved his hand: "Just use the money that Crowley and the others paid for the ruby."

Shop clerk: "..."

Based on his understanding of the boss in the past two years, he asked cautiously: "Do you know how many days there are in the weekly trading days? Do you know what the K-line chart is?"

"What it is."

Alphonse took it for granted: "Go buy stocks."

"...Okay, boss."

The clerk simply kept his mouth shut, and didn't say that today is Sunday, which is not counted as a stock trading day.His job is open year-round as long as the boss is still open, but fortunately, most of the time the work content is extraordinarily casual, and he can get double salary.

In a world where the population of magicians is half dead, it is not easy to make some money.The detective thought so, and decided to wait for Monday to help the boss buy stocks.

Fortunately, even though he knew nothing about stocks and finance, the strength of Stark Industries still didn't make him lose money - and he didn't make much money, so the alchemist quickly ignored this little episode in life and continued Bet on the study of jewel magic.

Manhattan, New York City, the scene of the reception.

Tony Stark pushed and changed glasses like a fish in water, and today should be like the countless days he has experienced, spending a night full of nothing new but at least full of hormones.Although the theme of the banquet is related to him, there is always a way to push them away. After all, the world relies on Stark's genius brain, and he has the right to decide what to do or not to do.

When one person can override most people, social rules and human relationships become less important.

- We all know that Tony Stark is special.

"Stark!"

Nick Fury pushed aside the crowded crowd, passed through countless glass goblets and young women in backless slit dance skirts, and pressed his hand on Tony Stark's shoulder: "The project discussed with your marketing department five months ago, the network security system architecture upgrade of S.H.I.E.L.D., you haven't delivered yet!"

"Five months ago?"

The alcohol made Tony Stark, whose eyes were slightly red, seem to be thinking about it pretendingly: "I'm sure I didn't promise you this thing."

"Your board of directors has approved the plan for this project!"

Nick Fury frowned, his voice raised twice: "And I still have a signed version of this meeting minutes, Stark, don't try to fool this time!"

"Come on, Fury, you and I both know how effective the decisions passed by those old things will be in my place..."

The arms dealer stretched out his arms and grabbed Nick Fury's shoulders: "You know I'm still working as a consultant with you, can't I talk about something that makes people happy?"

He turned his eyes, and his eyes fell on the chest of Nick Fury's formal suit. After all, the brooch was suddenly added to the neckline of the black suit, which made people want to ignore it: "For example, your suddenly lively dressing habits?"

A green tsavorite the size of a small fingernail is surrounded by silver brackets in a simple pattern, carved to look like waves.

"Oh, this, it's not important, the key is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s network security..."

Nick Fury frowned and tried to break away from Stark, but he couldn't directly overturn the man, so the arms dealer, who was already half drunk, stretched out his hand and pinched the brooch: "Otherwise you Give it to me as an addition to the quotation, and I'll go back and help you write the program?"

"That won't work."

Director Fury rightly refused the request.
