It took about 20 minutes for Stark to read the report carefully, then threw the pile of paper on the table and said, "It's all nonsense."
"Anyone with a college-level biology education or above can see that this is complete nonsense."
"After all, I am a psychiatrist, and I don't have any educational background in biology, and this is just an outline. The specific content to be filled in depends on you genius scientists..."
Stark hesitated for a moment, then picked up the report again. He said: "A layman may think it is very reasonable, but in fact it is very outrageous. But after I thought about it just now, it seems to be somewhat reasonable...
"
Stark held the report with a troubled face and said: "Vampire blood contains immortality factors that humans can use? This is too ridiculous... Forget it, can you elaborate on this part?"
"Didn't Dr. Connors already say that their blood contains a magical factor that cannot be cracked by science? So I will name it 'immortality factor'. Isn't that too much?"
"Okay, this barely makes sense. After all, you are the only one of these people who knows magic. Besides..." Stark hesitated and asked, "Are you sure this factor can really make people immortal?"
"Whether it can really make people live forever is not important. What is important is, when you saw this conclusion, did you have any impulse?"
"In other words, what were you thinking about when you just asked this question?"
Stark pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and then pretended to put down the pile of information as if nothing had happened, and said: "Okay, I admit, any human being will have this idea, it would be great if I could live forever...
"
"I'm not greedy, but I really feel that if I can have 500 years... no, as long as 300 years, if I can have a life span of 300 years, then I can really change the world..."
His Adam's apple moved, and then he turned to look out the window and said: "You are really a devil. When I saw this sentence, I even wanted to use some uncontrollable force to capture and study it for a moment.
These monsters..."
"No one can resist this temptation." Schiller said: "Even if he is a saint, he will have a sad feeling when he faces a life span of less than 100 years."
"This is human beings. Human beings often live short and brilliant lives, and we are often proud of this."
"But if it doesn't last long, won't you be tempted?"
Stark spread his hands and said: "Okay, do you want to use this method to convince Congress and the Security Council? Let them want to obtain immortality and then deal with vampires?"
"No, I want to use this method to convince you."
"Convince me? What are you convincing me for? Am I not determined enough to deal with vampires? Even without this temptation, I would want to eliminate them all."
"The problem lies in the method of elimination. Your individual mechas are not very effective against them, but once a large-scale armed force is used, it will arouse the fear of too many forces. But in fact, you have a better way.
The road can be walked."
"what do you mean?"
Schiller took out a pair of headphones from his coat pocket, handed it to Stark, and then said: "I have an appointment with a guest, and he should have arrived in the conference room by now."
"Thank you for giving me the highest level of security authority, allowing me to invite others as your guest."
"Wait! Who did you invite?" Stark put on the headphones, and then he was pushed out of the laboratory by Schiller. He had a very bad feeling. Stark said: "Don't tell me,
You invited an important person from Congress to come here, my God! I won’t deal with them! No! Just wait... I won’t go..."
"Don't worry, it's not those politicians."
Stark stared at Schiller suspiciously, but Schiller said nothing. The two of them stared at each other for a long time, and Stark said: "Damn it, you liar doctor! You did it on purpose, right? Did you start from me?"
This defrauds the highest level of security!"
"Don't say it so harshly, you opened it to me yourself."
Ten minutes later, when Stark saw Norman Osborn in the conference room, he covered his forehead and whispered into the earphone: "I'm going to deduct all your salary! I'm not kidding!! You
Why did you invite this old guy here?"
"Okay, now that he has seen you, it's useless if you don't want to talk. Listen, I want you to talk to him about a business deal."
"Business talk? Why should I talk business with Osborne? Their technology is completely rubbish..."
"That's not important. Now go up and shake his hand, and then I'll tell you what to do."
Stark had a dark face, as if he was on the execution ground. He shook hands with Norman reluctantly. Norman didn't mind. He looked like a standard American businessman, wearing a suit, leather shoes, and sideburns.
There are some white hairs on both sides, but he looks very energetic.
Norman spoke first. He said: "Mr. Stark, this is my first time coming to Stark Tower. It is much more advanced than I thought. It is an eye-opener for me..."
Stark raised his head and made a "hmm" sound from his nose. Schiller said in the earphone: "Look at this guy, if you were half as good at talking as he is, I wouldn't have to put in so much effort.
"
"I heard that your company has mastered a healing serum technology and intends to sell it."
Stark could only parrot what Schiller said in his headset: "Yes, but we will talk about it later. There is a better deal in front of you now. You want to hear it?"
?"
Norman's expression did not change. He said: "So the healing serum technology does not exist, so what do you want to talk about when you come to me?"
"Of course the technology exists, but before we get to the main course, we should talk about the appetizers."
"You should have heard about the accident that broke out on the Brooklyn Bridge. Hundreds of vampires are attacking humans."
"Yes, the military also purchased a batch of weapons from the Osborne Group for this purpose."
Stark took out a plan and handed it to Osborn, and then he whispered into the earphone: "You just showed him that plan? It's all nonsense. Norman also has a PhD in biology.
You can't fool him with a degree."
"He is different from you. He is a businessman first and then a scientist."
To Stark's expectation, after reading the plan, Norman did not point out the errors like a rigorous scientist, but his face began to become brighter and brighter. He said: "Star
Mr. Ke, I really didn’t expect that you are so talented in business!”
Stark said: "What? Ah, I mean... do you think there is nothing wrong with this plan?"
"A genius hype idea!" Norman concluded: "Medicinal value! Yes, that's right... that's the word, I like it so much!"
"This is a great opportunity. If we can really package vampire body parts into nutritional or health products, then we can definitely make a lot of money."
"Think about it, raw materials are falling from the sky now. Whether it is the Congress, the military or other forces, they will support us."
But Stark said: "I want to remind you that we cannot actually decipher the magic factor in their blood, and it is not certain whether it has the effect of immortality..."
"Is this important?" Norman stared into Stark's eyes and said: "The best thing is that it cannot be cracked. If something cannot be cracked, we cannot completely prove that it is useful, so no one can completely prove that it is not useful.
use."
Norman took the plan book and flipped through it again, and said: "Immortality factor? Indeed, the name may be a bit exaggerated, but it is not a medicine, it is just a health product, and the effect needs to be based on the actual effect.
.”
"We don't need to publicize it. Vampires are a living example. Everyone of them can live forever, and they can heal quickly after being injured."
"What's happening in Brooklyn right now is the best advertisement."
"The whole world knows that there is a species that can live for hundreds or thousands of years and is fighting against humans with extremely fast healing speed."
"Soon, the aftermath of this incident will continue to ferment. The whole world will know about the full-scale vampire invasion of humans, and their characteristics will be written on the front page of every newspaper."
"What is this? This is a worldwide publicity with huge exposure! What other advertising can match this kind of publicity?"
"At this time, our two companies will join forces. You know, industrial giant Stark and pharmaceutical giant Osborne. The two of us will join forces to prove that there is a mysterious factor in the blood of vampires that can extend human lifespan.
This is very possible, right? After all, they are immortal species."
"This can even open up a new industry field, research on the medicinal value of extrahuman species." Stark followed Schiller's words: "It's not just vampires, there may be other creatures in the future."
"What we have to do is use our scientific and technological credibility to tell the world that these species have considerable medicinal value."
"That's right!" Norman clenched his fist and said, "I think so too. Once we succeed this time, everyone will believe that we have the ability to identify the research value of alien species. Indeed, as you said, we can absolutely
Opening up a new industry will bring unimaginable huge profits."
Finally, Norman stood up without any delay and said: "I will organize experts to perfect this plan now. Mr. Stark, I have to say that although this idea is genius, your plan is
It’s really not very professional.”
Seeing Stark's face getting darker and darker, Norman continued: "But I know that this is because you want to see the sincerity of the Osborne Group, so you did this deliberately. I don't believe it, Stark
The group can’t even find a few biological experts.”
"But this is what it should be. Your idea is already worth tens of billions in profits. I didn't expect that Stark Industries and Osborn Biotech would start cooperating under such circumstances."
"But I want to say that this must be a good start. You will understand that Osborne is a rare and trustworthy partner in the world."
After saying that, Norman and Stark shook hands again, and then left in a hurry.
Stark was still a little confused. He said, "What did he mean just now? I think he misunderstood something?"
"It doesn't matter. What he said is correct anyway, but the biology experts hired by Stark Group are busy saving the world..."
