In the eastern part of Manhattan, New York City, the original Stark Building has been converted into the Avengers Building. Although the overall construction of the building has not been completed, the Dior restaurant near the building has been renovated.
An area of one thousand square meters is not particularly large, but it is more than enough to open a restaurant. Even for a weird boss like Dior who can only entertain one table at a time, such a large area is a bit luxurious.
And when Dio received the news and rushed over, he was indeed surprised.
For a rich man like Tony, if he wants to do something, he will do it the best...
"But isn't this too much? Are you sure this is a restaurant open to the public, and not some royal family's private dining place?" Dio looked at Tony speechlessly.
"It's just so-so. If it weren't for the shortage of manpower in the construction industry, I wouldn't have the energy. Otherwise, the design could have been better." Tony said in a cool tone, almost choking Dio to death.
"Let's go in and take a look around. I have designed many areas inside."
After passing through the 200-square-meter lobby, Dior and Tony came to the dining area. Here, according to Dior's request, only one table was reserved. Then there was the kitchen, lounge, bathroom, toilet, entertainment room...
After visiting all of them, Dio had to admit that he was just a country bumpkin.
Almost every square meter of space has been perfectly utilized, and according to Tony, the outer walls of this restaurant are interspersed with alloy plates that can withstand a certain degree of sudden attacks, and the inner walls are installed with the best sound insulation materials on the market, coupled with fully intelligent master control, it is definitely a perfect combination of luxury and future technology!
Dio thought that was all, but unexpectedly, Tony gave him another surprise in his lounge.
Tony suddenly shouted, "I love Iron Man."
Then the next second, the bed moved to the side, revealing a dark hole underneath.
"I have input your voice into the intelligent butler here. The command is 'I love Iron Man'. Come on, I'll take you down to have a look."
"Can you change your bad taste? I'll easily beat you to death if you keep doing this!" Dio followed Tony expressionlessly, but if you look closely, you will find that the corners of his mouth are twitching frequently. It's not the first or second time that Tony likes to make fun of others in this regard, and the future Thor feels helpless about this.
"You don't like this voice password? The whole world loves Iron Man. I'm sorry, but you're a little too unsociable. If I have time, I'll consider changing it." Tony said narcissistically.
When they walked into this underground space, the lights suddenly came on, presenting the entire surrounding environment before their eyes.
White metal walls, plenty of food and drinks, various equipment... If you look closely, you will find an old arcade machine.
"Considering the last attack of the 'cough' bomb, I built a shelter like this directly under the restaurant. The energy is provided by the Ark Reactor alone, which is enough for decades of use, provided that there is enough food and water. In order to avoid boredom, there are also a lot of fitness equipment and game equipment here... In short, there is everything. You can also use this place as your own secret base at ordinary times. I had such a dream when I was a child. What do you think?"
"very nice."
Dio exclaimed sincerely, it can be seen that Tony really spent a lot of time and effort to build this shelter, from the most basic issues such as food, drinking water, air, cleaning to energy, entertainment, leisure and fitness, all aspects have been taken into consideration, and corresponding measures have been taken. Can't one only say that he is worthy of being a genius
"What's that over there?"
He suddenly pointed at something that looked like a door and asked.
"Oh, that's 'elevator'."
"Elevator? Where does it lead to?" Dio suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Of course it leads to the Avengers Building. I also built a secret space there that connects to here. If we want to conceal our presence, we can meet in private this way. Do you want to try it?"
It turned out to be the horizontal elevator leading to the Avengers Building!
Doesn't this mean that Tony can come over for a stroll whenever he wants? What's the difference between this and his back garden
Dio's face was full of black lines, and he quickly took back his praise of this guy as a genius. This guy is a complete bastard!
And please don't say it in such a way that could cause misunderstanding!
Who wants to meet you secretly
It's like a secret rendezvous between lovers, isn't it disgusting!
Although I can roughly understand why Tony did this, couldn't he have informed me in advance
Dio suddenly wanted to block the elevator over there...
Just when he was having some crooked thoughts, Tony suddenly took out a document and handed it to him, then said, "This is the bill for the renovation. I have waived the design fee for you. Please check if there is anything you are not satisfied with. If you are satisfied, please sign it."
When Dio took it and looked at it, his eyes suddenly went dark!
"Money robbery! Twenty million dollars!? Are you kidding me?"
"This is just the cost price. My personal participation fee is not included in it. Some time ago, a guy offered Stark Industries $1 billion to help him build a nuclear shelter like this, but I was too lazy to accept the offer." Tony said unhappily, and what he said was all true. Other shelters of this type are difficult to solve the energy problem alone. The best option is to use nuclear energy, but it can only last for 5 or 6 years.
But when he was building this shelter, he basically used all of Stark Industries' most advanced scientific research results, such as clean energy like the Ark Reactor, the intelligent subsystem separated from Jarvis, various expensive precious materials, and various facilities and equipment.
This is the culmination of modern high-tech products. It can be easily sold for over $100 million and there are many people rushing to buy it.
Which is more important, money or life
Especially in New York after the previous war, countless wealthy people began to seek a way out for themselves, so that they would have a guarantee of safety if a similar thing happened in the future.
If Dio hadn't saved his life more than once, Tony wouldn't have put himself in such a difficult situation.
"Okay, no need to say more. It's just 20 million. I'll sign it! But can I write an IOU first?" Dio, who had also done the math in his mind, gritted his teeth and signed his name on it.
Although 20 million is a lot of money, it won’t take him too long to pay back the money as long as he reopens the restaurant.
Another reason is that he thinks it is necessary to have a place like this secret base!
