"Norman, why are you like this?"
The person who spoke was Norman Osborn, who was rumored to be terminally ill and not far from death.What surprised McCann was not Osborne's existence, but his current state.
He remembered very clearly what kind of ghost he saw Norman two months ago.To put it bluntly, at that time he was almost as indistinguishable from a zombie monster.It was then that he had the feeling that Osborne would be in his pocket.
But it now appears that this feeling is nothing more than an illusion.Because he discovered that Norman Osborn's condition had actually improved, although he still looked like he was about to die soon.But the current him is far, far better than his ghostly appearance before.
This was completely different from McCann's estimation, and it even made him almost unable to believe what he saw.So he was absent-minded, and he asked such a sentence.
As for McCann's question, Norman's eyes showed a gloomy coldness.What kind of idea McCann had, he was naturally clear in his heart.But at that time, he was already terminally ill, obviously he didn't have much energy to deal with such a malicious subordinate.
But it's different now.He has time again.Then the matter of solving this guy has already been mentioned in his agenda.
"What, McCann. Do you think my health will never recover? Or do you think I'm here to declare my will? Then you can wait for me to die and embezzle everything in my Osborne family? "
Norman Osborn asked coldly.Almost did not leave any face to McCann.This is his empire, the company he created.As long as he is still here, no one here has the right to speak in front of him.Therefore, he doesn't care about other people's faces at all.
And when Norman said that, McCann naturally looked bad.On the one hand, it was because Norman's words really stimulated his self-esteem.On the other hand, it was because Norman told the secret in his heart.
He thought that during this meeting, Norman Osborne could lie on the bed and say a few words with a three-dimensional image through the camera.But what he never expected was that he still had the ability to leave his mansion and come here to hold a board meeting in person.
However, although there is no psychological preparation, McCann still has the ability to play on the spot.So I saw a hearty smile on his face immediately, and then said to Norman.
"How come, Mr. Osborne. I think you must have misunderstood. I just didn't expect that your body would recover so quickly."
"Huh!" Norman snorted coldly. Norman knew that it was not the time to clean up this guy, so he ordered the table and said with an indifferent expression. "Sit down, Mr. McCann. We're about to start our board meeting."
McCann obediently sat down on Osborne's lower head, and he didn't realize it until this time.Beside old Osborne, there was also a young man sitting.A young man who is seven to eight points similar to Norman.Seeing this young man, he immediately thought of his identity.
Harry Osborn, Norman Osborn's only son and only heir.Think of this relationship.He sneered again in his heart.
He was almost bluffed by old Osborne.He has seen it.Old Osborne's current appearance is also pretending. Although the tiger's prestige is still there, he is at most just a paper tiger.The situation was much more serious than he made it out to be.Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken little Harry with him.
Presumably, too, retrovirus proliferation.How could such a rare disease with almost no records be cured so easily!
After figuring out the joint in the middle, McCann felt relieved again.All he had to do now was to wait, to wait for the day when Norman couldn't stand it.Having conducted in-depth investigations into the genetic diseases of the Osborne family, he knew very well that the old Osborne would not last long.And when that time came, it was his chance.
Time has become something that both sides need to fight for now.And who can win in the end depends on who will be more favored by time.
However, the old Osborne obviously did not want to bet everything on time.He wants to buy time, not just to get enough capital for Harry's superior position.It's more about keeping yourself alive.
So he patted the table and glanced at the shareholders present.Said first.
"I heard that you plan to shut down all genetically modified research projects in the company. I want to know, why are you doing this? Or, have you asked me for my opinion?"
"Norman, you should know. The company's current situation is not optimistic. There is a reason why we closed these departments. They can't generate even a little profit for us now. Instead of keeping them, it is useless to consume our resources. Increase The pressure we are under now. It is better to close them directly and reduce our losses. This is actually a means of avoiding risks.”
As the initiator of this decision, McCann felt obliged to answer this question.So he tried his best to explain their thoughts to old Osborne.
As Wall Street shareholders who only care about profits, they have long been displeased with these genetically modified departments.They consumed vast sums of Osborne's resources without producing anything useful.Finally, there is a finished product, but it turns out to be a cheating thing that turns people into lizards.This makes it impossible for them to continue to accept the fact that Osborne has been using their money for nothing.
Therefore, this resolution is not just the decision of McCann alone.Rather, it represents the views of the majority of shareholders.
If it is something else.Norman may compromise with so many shareholders.But on this matter, he will never compromise.Because the transgenic department was created for nothing but to cure his genetic disease.This is something related to his life and death, how could it be stopped by others because of some interest issues?
So he said right away.
"I still say the same thing, you didn't get my consent. Then this resolution can't be passed. I am the person in charge of this company, and I can only have my voice in this company. I didn't agree, You can't change anything. The GM department is back on, starting now. I want it right now. Right now. Do you understand?"
Norman Osborn has been in charge of the company for decades, taking him from a small company to the world's top level step by step.It can be said that his position in this company cannot be shaken.In addition, he is a strong and domineering person, so at the board meeting, he basically speaks alone.What he decides cannot be changed.It was like this in the past, and it is like this now.
No matter how unwilling they were, the group of capitalists headed by McCann still had to bow their heads in front of Norman Osborn.They really didn't have the courage to confront such a tyrant-like figure.
Just because they didn't dare, doesn't mean that no one dared either.At the very least, Zhou Yi didn't care much about a mere Osborne.So, when the meeting gets quiet.His voice is particularly striking.
"Mr. Osborne, since you don't want to close these genetically modified departments that have no revenue to speak of. Then I want to know, what are you going to use to make up for our losses?"
Seeing who the speaker was, Old Osborn's eyes narrowed slightly.Then the tone became subtler.
"I said, who is going to speak at this time? So it's you, Mr. Zhou. Why, do people like you, who own a big company, care about these trivial profits?"
"That's not true, it's just that I'm curious. After all, my money is not blown by the wind. These are my fortunes that I have worked hard for a little bit. I don't want them to withdraw money from my account because of some unnecessary mistakes." disappeared completely."
"How is it possible, Mr. Zhou. We are in the same boat!"
Regarding Zhou Yi's words, Norman Osborn not only didn't get angry.Instead he laughed.And laugh very subtle.
Chapter 294 Business Cheats
"Mr. Osborne, please forgive me. I don't understand what you mean." Zhou Yi knew very well that this old guy must be playing some charades with himself.
There is something in his words, it depends on whether you can understand the meaning in his words.But Zhou Yi is too lazy to play this kind of guessing game with him now. It is not good for him to guess right, and he will cause trouble if he guesses wrong.So why should I cooperate with him so much?
Regarding Zhou Yi's direct and unruly approach, Norman Osborn smiled and said.
"Be patient, my young friend. This is not the time to talk about it. If you have time, we can have a good chat over lunch."
It was rare for old Osborne to be so patient.Although he didn't know what he wanted, one thing Zhou Yi was sure of was that there must be something in him that he desperately wanted.
What could it be?He was suddenly interested.Therefore, Zhou Yi nodded slightly at Osborne's invitation.
Seeing Zhou Yi nod his head, old Osborn also had a smile on his face.His mood suddenly improved.This is not a disguise, but a real good mood that can be felt by others.
It wasn't until this time that he patted the shoulder of the young man sitting beside him and pulled him to stand up.Said to all the shareholders around.
"Next, that's why I invite you here. I'm here to introduce you to an outstanding young man who is also my son and my future heir. He is Harry Osborne. Osborne CEO of the company, yes. I have decided that he will now represent me as president of Osborne."
As soon as this sentence came out, the entire board of directors fell silent.
Before they were able to accept Harry Osborn as the future head of the company, it was based on the fact that they knew that the old Osborn was about to pass away soon.Under such circumstances, even if Osborne Jr. becomes their president, he will inevitably face the situation of being ostracized by them.Even if little Osborne is a genius, they can at least reap the benefits before he completely takes power.
But things are different now.Old Osborne didn't look like he was going to die anytime soon.With his escort, Osborne Jr. will only take over the rights in his hands in a calm situation.And at that point, they get nothing.Because Harry, who has truly inherited everything from Norman, will only become the unshakable Osborne II.Continue to dominate everything in this company.
This is not the vision the directors wanted to see.Because of this, the scene suddenly became very awkward.Embarrassingly deserted.
And at this moment, applause rang out.That was Zhou Yi's applause, which was given to Harry Osborn who had just stepped on the stage, so that he would not have to continue to stand so awkwardly in this situation.
And with him taking the lead, sparse applause rang out one after another.Although it was not enthusiastic, it was still an explanation for the appearance of Little Osborne.
As for the old Osborn, his face was indifferent at this time.With his knowledge of running the company for so many years, how could he not know what kind of people this group of people are.The reason why he chose to introduce little Osborne at this time when everyone had lost a lot of money just now was to let him see what kind of faces these people really looked like.
Only by recognizing what kind of people they are, can he control them better in the future.He had to understand that these people could not be friends, but only enemies.It is the enemy of their Osborne family.
Now, his goal has been achieved.So, he put on the mask of a dictator again, and said to all the shareholders present.
"Okay, my story is over. Now, do you have anything else to say?"
"Mr. Osborne, the current public opinion is very unfavorable to us, don't you think?" Someone said tentatively.And immediately, Osborne responded to him impatiently.
