Hex Technology Tycoon of American Comics

one day ago.

In the laboratory, Carl was a little confused when faced with Stern's invitation to cause trouble.

On the one hand, he really wanted to obtain research information related to the super soldier serum, because he believed that with a little bit of Hex life science technology, he could improve the research and even create new human enhancement products.

After replacing his heart with a Hextech core, he has been facing this problem:

His blood was flowing with a high proportion of shimmer, and his physical fitness was improved as a result, but it was equivalent to walking on the edge of losing control.

In the animation "The Battle of Two Cities", an experimental subject was injected with an excessive amount of low light, causing distortion.

The energy output of the Hex Technology core will also have an impact on his body, especially when using the Skyfire Thruster overload, he will obviously feel a burning sensation.

To solve these problems, there are two directions. The first is larger-scale prosthetic transformation.

If he decides to embark on this path, one day in the future, he may become a complete mechanical transformation-that kind of future is not his first choice.

Another way is to strengthen the body.

In some universes, the physical body is far less powerful than machinery, but in the Marvel world, the upper limit of the physical body is not low.

"Sir, you seem a little confused."

Blitzcrank controlled the food delivery robot to deliver dinner.

Karl picked up the tea cup and said: "It's really confusing. In fact, my physical problem has not been completely eradicated - if I want to further strengthen it, I may have to walk into the funding grave."

"Human augmentation technology? That is indeed a funding grave."

In the Marvel world, since the birth of Captain America, the whole world has not given up on related research.

This part of the funding expenditure has been kept secret, but Karl can surmise from some scraps that the military invests tens of billions of dollars in research funding alone every year.

And this kind of investment is not only made by the official, private investment is even more crazy.

Take the Roxon Petroleum Company, which Carl knew, as an example - this is also Carl's main opponent in the energy field in the future.

This is a super monopoly. In the real world, oil king Rockefeller suffered antitrust dismantling, but not here.

Roxon Petroleum Company is the world's largest fuel conglomerate here, with a market value that far exceeds Stark Industries.

Relying on the huge income from the oil industry, their areas of involvement have gradually expanded, ranging from daily necessities manufacturing, retailing, transportation engineering, to high-tech arms and semi-biological and cyborg transformation.

A truly global giant.

In the comics, this company also participated in the assassination of Tony's parents, the Starks, and attempted to annex Stark Industries.

It seems that in this world, the death of Mr. and Mrs. Stark has something to do with them - after all, the Winter Soldier who killed them was a member of the former Soviet Union.

How did an agent from the former Soviet Union, who was brainwashed and unable to socialize, sneak into the United States during the Cold War and kill the father of the atomic bomb and the largest arms contractor in the Eagle Country?

Therefore, in this world, almost all institutions are engaged in research on human enhancement technology.

But until now, no mature technology has emerged that can be truly considered successful, except for Captain America.

"I have to say, judging from the data that can be collected, it is a real tomb. Last year alone, there may have been as much as 200 billion US dollars invested. I suggest you choose carefully."

"I know I know."

High risk and high investment, but may not produce results. If the relationship between himself and Stern is exposed, the problem will be more complicated.

In the company's infancy, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s political support was important.

"It would be great if someone could help me put aside the relationship zone and contact him..." Karl looked out the window and murmured to himself.

Blitz suddenly said: "Sir - is the person you are looking for Mr. Norman Osborne?"

After hearing this, Karl was stunned for a moment and slapped his forehead - it seemed that was indeed the case!

This poor rich man was imprisoned by himself for a whole year!

If you can pull him to your side, things will be much easier!

You know, Carl almost lost his life in the battle with the Green Goblin a year ago!

And it has always been part of the plan to draw Osborne into his camp.

Thinking of this, Karl stood up and walked towards the luxurious single room where Norman was detained.

"Is he supposed to be sleeping now? Start the paralysis gas and I'm going to perform a minor surgery on him."

……

After getting rich, Norman's cell was also changed to a new one by Karl.

This cell is now surrounded by pure white walls, made of explosion-proof steel plates. It also has a machine gun tower and blind-angle monitoring in the dark, as well as a whole gravity field controller.

Of course, without the deadly safety equipment, the room is still very cozy.

With a soft big bed, a complete study room, and a large projection screen, it can be said that the accommodation is better than that of many poor people in New York.

After Karl handed over the shares of Osborne Group to Harry, Norman's mentality gradually calmed down.

In addition to being required to purchase some books, papers and newspapers every week, I am studying.

Right now, he was reading quietly and doing calculations on the manuscript paper from time to time.

Upon seeing this, Karl sighed: "...He is indeed a successful person. Both his state of mind and self-discipline are admirable."

"So, the new billionaire finally remembered his prisoner." Norman didn't look up. "What happened this time?"

"I not only think of you, but I also invite you to join my camp."

Norman raised his eyebrows, and the Green Goblin in the mirror was even more shocked, and then laughed wildly--

"This is a hypocritical boy! Don't forget that this is how we invited him before!"

"...This is really interesting. I remember I invited you like this before." Norman ignored the Green Goblin and looked up at Carl.

Carl smiled: "That's interesting, I thought it was the Green Goblin who invited me before - but anyway, what's your reply?"

"What's in it for me?"

"You can remain a successful entrepreneur and the Osborne Group can continue to maintain its current position - isn't that enough?"

Karl sat on the chair, crossed his legs, and snapped his fingers.

The screen on the wall began to broadcast the recent status of the Osborne Group.

Since the Hex Group divided a portion of the profits of Shiguang Pharmaceutical, the Osborne Group, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, was revived, and the stock price soared to the peak level before Norman's disappearance.

Because Weiguang Medicine is a huge market, but so far, Hex Technology has only opened their patents to a few large companies.

The market share of Weiguang Medicine is currently led by Hex Technology, reaching 50%. Osborne Group monopolizes 30%, and the remaining 20% ​​is left to several other pharmaceutical companies to compete with each other.

Although the capital market wants to list Hex Technology and then take a few bites, the current situation is complicated, so it would be good to focus on the Osborne Group first.

After all, even if it is only 30%, that is still a lot - Weiguang Pharmaceutical represents almost the entire pharmaceutical market in the future.

And all of this is, of course, based on the premise that Carl is willing to maintain his current share.

A photo flashed on the screen, which was a photo of Karl and Harry.

Seeing his son smiling brightly in the photo, Norman smiled happily.

This is what he had thought about - one day, Harry would represent the Osborne Group in front of the world, high-spirited.

After laughing, he looked at Karl - he was not a fool and knew that Karl had brought all this.

In any case, it was he who hung up the Osborne Group, which almost died - when he could destroy and annex the Osborne Group.

"Okay, then I'll listen."

……

Back to the present, looking at the Green Goblin and Stern standing on the hang glider and flying away not far away, Carl picked up the teacup.

After a while, Natasha called.

"The Green Goblin appeared on the scene - I think as your former opponents, I should let you know."

"ok, I get it."

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and Natasha said: "...We can cooperate."

"We have been cooperating - if you think that I will take the initiative if I have a problem with that guy, then you are wrong - I just want to be an ordinary private entrepreneur now."

"you…"

"I'm serious, Miss Agent, Stark Expo is the largest industrial show in the world, and right now, it's the most important thing to me.

Of course, the other thing is my military contracting company. "

Natasha on the other end of the phone seemed a little helpless - the man in front of her was very capable, but he was also a guy who couldn't do anything early.

She knew she couldn't convince Carl to help them because right now, Carl had nothing in particular that he needed.

"Okay, then go ahead and do your business, private entrepreneur."

After hanging up the phone, the float car drove slowly in the sky outside New York, everything was quiet.

Carl took off some clothes and planned to take a shower--

This floating car is not a performance model like Renfield's Holy Sword. As a luxury model for private use, the space inside is quite spacious, and there is even a separate bathroom and rest room.

It is nonsense for a car to have such a spacious space, but in the sky...

This place only belongs to Karl for the time being.

At the same time, in the night sky, something like a bamboo dragonfly slowly flew towards the floating vehicle.

By the time Carl came out of the shower, the small aircraft had also docked with the float vehicle.

"Sir, the data reception has been completed, and Secret Guest-01 has been destroyed."

"Let's take a look at what these technologies have to offer..."

Just as Karl turned on the computer, the system in his mind also responded.
