NOVEL WEB Chapter 12: ch 12:Norman Osborn
Oscorp Industries, the largest biotechnology company in the United States, unmatched in its field.
As the helmsman of this vast empire, Norman Osborn, a name renowned throughout the American upper class, returned to his office with a dark expression.
"Bang!"
A potted plant he usually cherished lay shattered on the floor.
As a shrewd capitalist and the leader of a top-tier corporation, Norman Osborn knew he should maintain composure. Yet, he couldn't help himself.
Those damn bastards! Parasites! The directors who made him want to eliminate them all.
Damn! Damn! Damn them all!
They only cared about immediate profits, blind to his,Norman Osborn's great vision!
Parasites, vampires who only lie on the Oscorp Industries to suck blood, bastards!
One second, two seconds…
In just a few seconds, the furious Norman Osborn's face gradually returned to calm.
There is no point in being angry. Three seconds of anger is enough to vent the anger in his heart. He needs to stay calm enough and think about how to deal with those vampire-like bastard directors next.
"Clap Clap..."
Suddenly, there was a burst of applause.
"As expected of the head of the Oscorp Industries ,your ability to control your emotions is remarkable."
Norman Osborn's expression changed, and he suddenly looked towards the source of the sound.
He saw a young man who appeared on the sofa at some point, looking at him with interest.
Norman Osborn's eyes were stern, and one of his hands was about to reach in a certain direction.
"Who are you?"
"Why are you here?"
Rock said calmly,"Mr. Osborn, don't you want to hear why I'm here first?"
As he spoke, he looked at Norman Osborn's hand that was getting closer and closer to the alarm.
He didn't stop or scold him, but just watched calmly.
Norman Osborn's hand, which was about to touch the alarm, paused for a moment.
As a top businessman, he should have been wary of unfamiliar things, but at this moment, he had to admit that his curiosity was aroused.
At this moment, Rock spoke again.
"My identity is meaningless, after all, I can create countless copies of it."
"As for how I got here, oh, it wasn't easy, three hundred thousand dollars, just to see you, I spent three hundred thousand dollars"
"That's a lot of money." Norman Osborn said with a wry smile.
"Yes, it is indeed quite a lot."
After a moment's silence, Norman Osborn said again:"Three minutes, I still have three minutes, this is the time before my next meeting."
After checking Norman Osborn's schedule, Rock knew that Norman Osborn was talking nonsense, so he didn't care. He didn't even care about Norman Osborn's hand that had completely fallen into the alarm.
"Three minutes, that's enough."
"I heard that Mr. Osborn is fed up with a bunch of ignorant old guys, and even his own biotechnology development plan has been affected~"
Norman Osborn's face remained unchanged. There has never been a lack of termites in the company, and those guys on Wall Street are the most proficient in cultivating termites, so he was not surprised by the company's secret exposure.
"And then?"
Rock exclaimed:"As expected of Mr. Osborn."
Rock didn't hate praising others. After all, who doesn't want to hear nice things? As for whether the exaggerated words are true or false, or whether the attitude is sincere, that's not important. No one cares about that kind of thing.
"I think Mr. Osborn would not hate this thing."
Norman Osborn lowered his head to take a look at the familiar yet strange check on the table.
He usually wrote checks for others, but this kind of check given to him by others was the first time for Norman Osborn,so he had a strange feeling of wanting to laugh.
But when he saw the number on the check, he didn't want to laugh anymore.
2, with eight zeros at the end!
Two hundred million!
A full two hundred million US dollars!!!
This is a number that no company with a market value of tens of billions would dare to underestimate!
Even for the Oscorp, it is definitely not a small number.
A warm smile spread across Norman's face as he released his hand from the alarm.
"My apologies for not showing the proper hospitality to such an esteemed guest," Norman said, his tone significantly lighter. He pressed the intercom. "Secretary, where are you? Bring coffee for our guest immediately."
Rock also laughed. He also saw the face of a true capitalist.
"Coffee is fine."
Norman leaned back. "Very well. May I ask, what do you want?"
Without money, it's a purpose, a conspiracy. With money, it's an idea—such a perfectly capitalist perspective.
"Two things"
"Go on"
"The first concerns your ideas about biotechnology. I've done some research, and I must say, they're remarkable."
"I believe, Mr. Osborn, you wouldn't mind replacing a few of your current partners with more like-minded individuals."
Norman's smile deepened. The identity of the young man in front of him didn't matter. What mattered was his intent to join the board—and, more importantly, his clear support for advancing biotechnology. Specifically, the Superhuman Serum project.
This is great, isn't it?
As for the sudden insolence and the conspiracy behind it,in front of money , those are not important. He needs new capital injection now.
"So, what about the second thing?"
"The second one is simpler. I heard that the Oscorp Industries has some very interesting products. I want to make some interesting toys,I think Mr. Osborn won't refuse."
"Of course, if Mr. Osborn refuses, another lovely check should soothe the impact of a stranger like me on Mr. Osborn's mood."
Norman laughed, standing up to shake Rock's hand.
"Refuse? My dear friend, why would I refuse such an offer?"
"You're no stranger, my friend. You are obviously the Osborn family's best friend!"
Even though he said it, Norman Osborn still doesn't know the name or surname of his 'best friend'.
"Yes, you are right, Mr. Osborn, you will be my best friend too."
The two hands were tightly clasped together, very powerfully, and their smiles were also very sincere and pure, symbolizing their passionate and powerful friendship.
