Chapter 13 The Great Transformation of Osborne Industries
Chapter 13 The Great Transformation of Osborne Industries
This kind of factory area with a bit of old-fashioned industrial tough guy style is really interesting to look at. Compared with the high-rise building-like technology companies in the future, at least in terms of practicality, it is much higher.
Norman seemed to have gone to deal with other things. Looking at his excited expression, he seemed to have prepared everything.
Zhuang Quan stayed here for a while with great interest, and saw Norman getting out of the car nearby, wearing a lab coat, "Let's go, I'll take you to see it!"
After going through a very complicated procedure, the two people finally arrived at the laboratory and saw a group of company directors and a group of military contractors standing around.
"We have solved the problems of parallel gliding and gravity balance!" The doctor in the laboratory was obviously very happy. It was he and Norman who led the research on the entire Green Goblin system.
But General Slocomb obviously didn't think so. He asked: "I saw the hang glider, and I didn't come here for this..."
Then Norman walked in with Zhuang Quan and greeted them first.
If it were before, Norman would probably be nervous about funding and other issues, and he would keep explaining, hoping that the military would give him a chance.
But now, he is much tougher!
"Welcome everyone, members of the board of directors, and members of the military observation group!" he said, "I wonder what else you want to know?"
"I want to see the report on the physical enhancement plan!" the general said.
"Of course, General, we have done a lot of experiments, and we are almost..." The doctor was explaining, when he saw Norman taking over his words, "General, just like what I said before, the current human body enhancement potion
It’s still very dangerous, and we can’t use it as a test for human experiments!”
As soon as this sentence was said, not to mention the military, even the board of directors was a little shocked. Is Norman crazy? Does he not want to invest?
"Very good!" the general said, "I have never supported your company's plan. It was approved by my predecessor. Now, I can make a choice!"
He made a direct judgment, "I will stop your company's funding, and then give the funding to companies that interest me, such as the Aeronautical Exploration Company's humanoid armor project..."
The army group turned around and left, leaving only the board members in a daze.
"Norman? Are you crazy?" Max, the old man in a wheelchair, looked at him, "Without research funding, Osborne Industries will go bankrupt!"
"Oh, you don't need to wait that long!" Norman said. He had long been dissatisfied with this group of board members who only knew profits and gains, and forced him to sign one contract after another. But now
, he can get rid of these guys!
"I contacted Discovery Aerospace and they said they could buy my shares at a very favorable price. Of course, Osborne Group and Osborne Industries are my family's private properties, so they will not be sold together!
Norman spoke eloquently, "So now, fellow shareholders, I am no longer a member of this company, and our cooperation ends here!"
"Norman, you didn't get the permission of the board of directors!" Max was anxious. This was originally what they were going to do. You sold the company's shares, what do you want them to do now?
"I don't need your consent to sell my own shares!" Norman smiled, "I know you are contacting Exploration Aerospace in private behind my back. It is no longer necessary. Maybe you can discuss the matter with Exploration Aerospace.
What about taking over cooperation?”
"Norman, you will forever be banned from entering the field of military industry. You will regret it!" several directors said loudly. They were obviously stunned by this fist!
Zhuang Quan was also a little surprised. In the original work, the biggest reason for Norman Osborne's blackening was actually that several shareholders wanted to sell the company to Exploration Aerospace. As a result, Norman was the first to sell and beat them.
Caught off guard.
Now, the shares in their hands cannot be sold at high prices!
"Send all the former directors away!" Norman said with a smile.
Zhuang Quan then walked up and said, "This is really a great business method, Mr. Norman!"
He also figured out what Norman had just done!
As expected of a business tycoon, he has sold his shares at a good price within such a period of time!
Isn't he expressing his feelings toward Zhuang Quan? He has sold the company, so his meaning is self-evident. He will continue on this road until the end!
"But what I want to know is, where is the thing I need?" Zhuang Quan asked. Norman sold everything except the name and land of Osborne Industries, so wouldn't he have made a deal in vain?
"Don't worry!" Norman looked at him with a smile, "I specially left the materials and data for this experiment. Exploring aerospace is not a biological enterprise, and they don't want this series of research!"
"They have deep pockets, and their biggest idea is to buy out Osborne's military industry contracts to prevent competition with them!"
Zhuang Quan understood, so the materials in this room became their private property?
But looking at Norman's still unconcealable disappointment, he reciprocated the favor and told Norman a piece of news, "So, what is the current market value of Osborne Company?"
"It's about 60 billion US dollars, what's wrong?" Norman was stunned.
"Then I can also tell you that a smartphone company's market value exceeded one trillion in 2018, and in 2021, its highest market value will be three trillion!"
Zhuang Quan immediately dropped a blockbuster, "Besides, its technology is not as advanced as the mobile phone I brought out!"
"But with it, your Osborne can become a unique darling in the next world!"
"Drink!" Norman Osborne was even out of breath for a while, and finally sat down with support on the wall, "Mr. Zhuang Quan, I think we need to build a stable and harmonious cooperative relationship!"
"For example, where did you come from?"
The origin of Zhuang Quan is somewhat mysterious. Norman has never seen such a man with future technology walking up to him so carelessly!
"I will tell you about this at the right time!" Zhuang Quan smiled, "What I need is a strong Osborne Industries. I need you to become the largest technology company in the world so that you can do what I do."
Something I want to do!”
"Then you have to wait until I develop these two companies. I only have this little money left in my hands. I sold all my family's money!" Norman said, "Now, this baby needs my full feeding!"
Zhuang Quan nodded, he also knew this. Similarly, he also knew how dangerous Norman would be in reality with these technologies!
His body suddenly disappeared in front of the other party, and then suddenly appeared again, but he had already taken out something like a can in his hand, "Technology from 60 years later, G3 escape airbag!"
"He can keep you alive in any high-pressure, crisis and terrifying environment. This is my sincerity!"
Norman nodded and took the air bag, "I will let you see my sincerity!"
…
"The latest news, Discovery Aerospace announced the merger with Osborne Industries, and the two largest military contractors have become one. Will it cause adverse changes to the international situation? We invited a PhD in sociology from Columbia University to answer our questions...
…”
Zhuang Quan returned to Peter Parker's home in Queens, where Ben Parker was watching TV.
On TV was the special news that Osborne Industries had been acquired.
"Oh, my God!" Ben wailed, "I just bought Osborne Industries stock, my God..."
