Chapter 254 Osborne and Hammond, the deal is done!
Chapter 254 Osborne and Hammond, the deal is done!
New York City, Queens!
Paleontology Recovery Center, part of the Osborne Group!
In the conference room in the underground laboratory, Old Norman pointed out Dr. Hammond's idea.
Since he wants to create a unique dinosaur paradise and own his own genetic company.
Then, Osborne Group can have an additional partner like him.
But the premise is.
The newly established Dinosaur Company needs shares of the Osborne Group.
And regarding the dinosaur genetic technology mastered by Dr. Henry, it needs to be shared with the Osborne Group.
And the most important thing is the third point.
Old Norman hopes to use the current success of dinosaur genetic templates to conduct experiments on human genetic templates.
The ultimate goal is to achieve experimental results in which human embryos perfectly integrate the advantages of external genes!
"this……"
"Mr. Osborne..."
Facing Norman Osborne, he didn't hide anything and spoke straight to the point.
Dr. Hammond obviously didn't react.
Such straightforward words immediately stunned him.
Originally, when the latest dinosaur achievement "Indominus Rex" was just displayed.
Dr. Hammond saw the surprised look on Old Norman's face and thought that the next matter of R&D funding was settled.
really.
Now that he has produced such outstanding results, Old Norman has no intention of getting stuck with Hammond regarding subsequent R&D funding issues.
He even offered more favorable terms.
Dr. Hammond is naturally not willing to keep working for the Osborne Group.
In his original world, he had his own United Gene Company. If he could restart the business in this new world, it would naturally be the best choice.
But!
Old Norman wants both shares and dinosaur gene technology!
This gave Dr. Hammond a very bad feeling, and he was worried that he would be ignored by the Osborne Group.
Even if he has established his own United Genetics Company by then, will the company still be his own?!
"..."
There was silence in the conference room for a while.
Neither old Norman nor Hammond spoke.
For old Norman, the only thing of value was Dr. Henry.
If Dr. Henry and Hammond were not bound together, he would not even pay attention to Hammond.
However, Hammond obviously also realizes this problem.
His current strength is too weak compared to the Osborne Group, if Dr. Henry is not in the same group as him.
We are all players, and we are all trying our best to earn [Red Jade].
If it weren't for the identity of the player.
Even as long as old Norman takes away Dr. Henry and starts a new business, he himself will have no value.
"It seems I should increase my weight."
"Otherwise, you will be eaten alive."
Hammond made up his mind!
He finally decided to take a gamble on something he had been hesitating about.
Just like his beloved Jurassic era, in the society of dinosaurs, the jungle prevailed.
Now he didn't want old Norman to eat it up in one go, so he had to make himself stronger.
At least it looks powerful on the surface.
"Mr. Osborne!"
"Please wait a moment, I'll be back soon."
After Hammond finished speaking, he left the conference room.
"..."
Old Norman kept a straight face and let Hammond leave without any change in his expression.
And in his heart.
In fact, the situation at this time was slightly different from the negotiation outcome that Old Norman had expected before entering the conference room.
Hammond, who has nothing, should only rely on the Osborne Group if he wants to establish his own genetics company.
So old Norman came up and made three demands.
shares, genetic technology, and human embryo experiments.
All he was waiting for was Hammond bargaining with him.
Then, while maintaining the interests of the Osborne Group, the most important human embryo experiment was determined.
And at this time.
Hammond's performance exceeded Old Norman's expectations, and it seemed that the opponent had some other trump cards.
"Knock knock!"
Old Norman knocked on the table slowly,
Should the attitude towards Hammond be changed?!
Or is the other party just bluffing?!
Negotiation skills in business are sometimes confusing.
And because he attached great importance to the dinosaur gene project, Old Norman decided to be patient and take another look.
The wait was a bit long.
By the time Hammond returned to the conference room, nearly 40 minutes had passed.
"I've kept you waiting, Mr. Osborne!"
Hammond had a huge smile on his face.
Maybe 40 minutes is too long to wait.
But for closing a deal, 40 minutes seems very short.
"I hope you won't keep me waiting in vain."
"Dr. Hammond!"
Old Norman narrowed his eyes slightly.
He was very keenly aware that Hammond's entire state was different.
After leaving and returning, he became more confident, and this feeling of confidence could not be faked.
What's going on?!
What gives Hammond such momentum?!
Soon, old Norman knew the answer.
Bang!
The sound of something heavy hitting the table.
After Hammond entered the conference room, there were three staff members behind him, each carrying two suitcases.
The matte black leather suitcase is thick, wide, and most importantly, very heavy!
It's filled with gold!
Six full boxes of gold were dumped on the conference table.
Hammond closed the door of the conference room, and now only old Norman and him were left in the room.
The previous negotiations can now continue.
…
Dr. Hammond wants to set up his own United Genetics Company, what is the most important thing?!
It's money!
In fact, for a player in the natural returner camp.
If he is willing to pay some.
There will be no shortage of money!
Just like the six boxes of gold placed in front of the conference table at this time, converted into banknotes, that is a huge number.
And this mere six boxes is actually just a drop in the bucket.
But there's just one problem.
It’s just that these golds are not easy to sell.
Because there is an eye-catching mark engraved on these attractive gold bricks in the box!
No one will not recognize this mark, because it originally belonged to the Stark Group.
"Walong..."
Old Norman stared straight at Dr. Hammond as he murmured the name.
The moment I open the box.
See the Stark Group's logo appearing on top of these gold bricks.
Old Norman understood it at that time.
The gold in front of me all came from that crazy night.
Valon robbed the Stark Foundation in the Daily Bugle building, and the gold bricks in the underground vault!
But……
How could Hammond be connected to Vallone?!
You know, the whole world is now looking for the Black Hand organization.
In the unknown underground dark web, someone even offered a sky-high reward for Valon's head.
And more importantly, who doesn't know that all the Stark Foundation's gold has fallen into Valon's hands.
If you catch Wallon, you will have endless wealth!
Countless murderers who licked blood from their swords have set their sights on the Black Hand organization.
However, even in the face of a global wanted manhunt, Ke Valon still lives a cool life. No one can catch that elusive guy.
Especially!
After that night in New York, judging from the message Taskmaster sent to Old Norman after returning from injury.
Old Norman knew that Vallon was not just a simple kidnapper.
The Black Hand organization is a terrorist organization with a strict structure and also has superpowers as its subordinates.
The leader of this organization is none other than Vallon, who has plunged the entire New York into a nightmare!
To be able to relate to such a Wallon...
Old Norman admitted that he seemed to have made a mistake before, and this Hammond is not simple at all!
"Dr. Hammond!"
"You simply impress me."
Old Norman looked deeply at Hammond.
Snap!
He reached out and buckled the suitcase containing gold bricks in front of him.
In fact, old Norman still has a question. The entire paleontological recovery center was built with the human and financial resources of the Osborne Group.
in other words.
The entire underground laboratory space should be under the supervision of the Osborne Group.
However!
When did Hammond contact Vallon, and when did these six boxes of gold bricks appear?!
Old Norman didn't know anything about it.
but!
He didn't want to ask for specific details, or even check the surveillance in this building.
Everyone has a secret.
If Hammond didn't want to tell, Old Norman believed that he wouldn't be able to find out anything.
"Mr. Osborne deserves the award!"
"The problem of funds is easy to solve, but the gold is not easy to sell!"
Hammond smiled.
He could see that old Norman's attitude towards him had changed.
Sure enough, he took the risk to contact Valon and make a deal with such a dangerous person.
Although there was a lot of gambling involved, there was no doubt that Hammond was right.
Old Norman began to re-examine his relationship with him, which was undoubtedly beneficial to Hammond.
"Um!"
Old Norman thought for a moment.
Then, he slowly stretched out a finger.
"An island."
"What?!"
Old Norman's sudden words made Hammond not quite understand what they meant.
"The funds are now available."
"But the Jurassic Park you've been looking forward to hasn't come to fruition yet, right?"
A smile suddenly appeared on old Norman's face.
He stood up and patted the suitcase in front of him.
Others may have hot hands on this gold. With the Stark Group's global surveillance, whoever touches this gold will be exposed.
However.
For the Osborne Group, digesting the gold is not a problem.
In other words, once there is help from the Osborne Group, Dr. Hammond will not be short of funds.
But, will old Norman give in like this?
No, he won't!
The smiling face disappeared, and an extremely serious aura spoke to Hammond.
"My conditions remain unchanged."
"Stocks, technology, human experiments!"
"I want them all."
Old Norman stared at Dr. Hammond with sharp eyes.
This strong sense of oppression made Hammond feel very uncomfortable.
Norman Osborne's feeling of inevitability was like a Tyrannosaurus rex on the hunt for prey.
What this old-fashioned old guy believes in will never change.
"this……"
As a simple businessman, to be honest, Hammond was sweating on his forehead at this time.
He wanted to say something, but it got stuck in his throat. Before he could say anything, Old Norman interrupted.
“Roosevelt Island!”
"Located between Manhattan and Queens."
"Originally the elevated trolley system connected Manhattan, and there was a bridge on the other side that connected to Queens."
"But that's all in the past tense."
"The Osborne Group will buy the entire island and guarantee you that the investment in the first phase of the project will be no less than 2 billion."
"Turning the entire island into Jurassic Park."
"Dr. Hammond, isn't this your dream?!"
Old Norman's words are like a devil that confuses people's hearts.
All it takes is a small stake and the technology mastered by Dr. Henry.
The Osborne Group will handle the gold matter, and on the surface, Hammond won't have to pay anything.
He can accomplish what he has always wanted.
In this new world, an entire island is used as the basis for the beginning of his dinosaur age.
“This is absolutely perfect!”
My mind seems to be blank.
Hammond was completely brought into reverie by old Norman's words.
If we talk about the business battlefield, Hammond will not be Old Norman's opponent at all.
With just a few simple words, he was already taken into the ditch.
"I, I need to discuss it with Dr. Henry again."
"After all, the technology is in his hands."
Hammond actually agreed in his heart.
But after all, this matter was between him and Dr. Henry. He had to inform Dr. Henry first, and he also needed to calm down on his own.
Moreover, he actually had some doubts in his mind.
For example, old Norman repeatedly emphasized the human embryo template experiment.
He wants to discuss with Dr. Henry whether there are any traps here?!
After all, if you want biological weapons, brutal dinosaurs would be great.
Do you have to become a human?!
Old Norman saw Hammond's hesitation and doubts, but he didn't want to explain anything.
Regarding the genetic disease of the Osborne family, this is not an issue worth discussing in detail with others.
He believed that as long as he got through Hammond's work.
It's not a problem with Dr. Henry. After all, they are technicians who can make the Indominus Rex.
As long as funds are in place, converting the dinosaur template into a human body template is not a matter of words.
"Dr. Hammond!"
"I wonder if you are clear about something?!"
Old Norman walked up to Hammond, and the two faced each other, extremely close.
"Wha, what?!"
We have just reached a cooperation agreement, and our joint fund company can finally get on the right track.
Hammond is in a state of excitement.
at this time.
Facing Norman Osborne in front of him, Hammond expressed his confusion at the sudden words.
"Wallon!"
"He once kidnapped my son."
Ice cold!
Cold in language, cold in eyes!
The conference room felt as cold as being trapped in an ice cellar.
Hammond froze. To be honest, he really didn't know this happened.
He contacted Valon and made a deal in exchange for some gold.
Firstly, it is to give himself some capital, and at the same time, he also wants to use Vallone's identity to put pressure on the Osborne Group.
Create an image for yourself that you are not easy to bully.
This old man with gray hair and beard has devoted his whole life to dinosaurs.
He really didn't have that many ideas, everything he did was just for his Jurassic Park blueprint.
And now, it seems that I made a wrong move?!
Seeing old Norman's murderous eyes, Hammond choked.
To be honest, he was scared!
However!
"Ha ha!"
Suddenly, old Norman burst out laughing!
He grabbed Hammond's hand hard and shook it up and down.
