Marvel: The Superman Survival Guide

Chapter 80 Group Development

Link wasn't quite sure what the Raider's fighter was called. Its main wing extended to both sides, from which three smaller wings then branched out.

There are two jet nozzles under the main wing, a rear thruster, and jet nozzles on the small wings. These numerous power jets make it extremely agile.

Link could easily manufacture a flying skateboard in this way, but since there's no joystick, artificial intelligence would be needed to assist in flight.

That's not bad either. It can serve as a reference for the construction of future spaceships. The overall shape of this raider's fighter is actually more like a swallow, so it's reasonable to use the shape of a swallow to create a flying skateboard.

Link quickly got to work on the research and development!

The next day, Jessica reminded Norman Osborn and Wilson Fisk to keep an eye on those who had recovered and not let them leave directly.

They must go through an observation period and will need to come back for regular check-ups. Of course, these check-ups will likely be difficult, as they might get sick again in the future and come back to you.

However, everyone took it seriously, especially Matthew Murdoch. Although he sympathized with these poor people, the contract had already been signed, and if these people ran away, it would be a breach of the contract.

Leaving aside Norman Osborn, Wilson Fisker alone was no pushover.

If you really anger him, you'll be dead. This guy will definitely kill.

Therefore, Matthew Murdoch began to repeatedly visit the hospital, ostensibly to inquire about the treatment procedures, but in reality to reiterate the legal responsibilities of both parties.

In this situation, the first phase of treatment ends, and after observation, the cured patients gradually begin to be discharged from the hospital after the observation period.

Viewers who have been following the show are full of anticipation for the special drug, and there are even many calls for it to be launched on the market immediately, while the stock price of Osborn Group has begun to rise steadily.

Many investors are looking to buy stocks, but there aren't any available on the stock market right now. Link and Norman Osborn have already acquired quite a few, and they can't keep holding on to them forever.

After all, there are requirements for the number of shares in circulation. The Osborne Group almost went bankrupt before, so we can wait for now, but it can't be for too long.

Link decided to release ten million shares into the stock market, but not all at once; instead, he would gradually increase the price.

If you release all the shares at once, you'll lose money. So you need to release them slowly, allowing the circulating shares to gradually flow back into the stock market.

……

The second phase began with the same process: after the medical records were finalized, treatment began, and some patients from the first phase returned to the hospital for regular check-ups.

Under these circumstances, by the end of the third phase, it was already the end of 2010, and Link had perfected the design of the flying skateboard.

Heavy snow fell in New York, Osborn Group's stock price broke through the $100 billion mark, and more than a dozen special drugs began production and were accepted for orders. Their main target market was not the United States, but overseas.

Especially in the major Eastern country, exports are made at low prices, and even with taxes, the prices are not expensive. Furthermore, Link actively promotes inclusion in the medical insurance system.

The price could be even lower, Link was operating on a low-profit, high-volume model, and the acquired building was already completed, so Link and Norman Osborn decided to move immediately.

Meanwhile, the original Osborne Group building was sold, and the proceeds were used to repay Link.

Unlike Tony Stark's building, the new building's top floor is not completely open-plan with balconies and helipads, but the interior has a distinct style.

The living room, kitchen, and dining room are completely open, but the design also includes a study, bedroom, guest room, toilet, bathroom, and other home functions.

The next floor is the automated factory, which is completely enclosed with only one staircase as the entrance. You need to go down from the top floor to enter; all elevators skip this floor.

Link doesn't need to build the Iron Man armor; he only needs to build a flying skateboard and a suit. He's been designing them all this time, and the flying skateboard is going very smoothly. He even got a cold fusion reactor made from new elements provided by Tony Stark.

In addition, Link has also completed the design of nanotechnology. But Link suddenly realized that if he has nanotechnology, why does he still need to wear a tight-fitting suit?

He doesn't fight with his fists, but with weapons, guns and throwing knives, so there's no need for him to be bound by the Superman costume.

A new idea struck him, but Link first completed the relocation of the group's headquarters. The entire upper part was a laboratory, and Link was responsible for this aspect.

Link began to examine all the research projects. He quickly selected those with a chance of success and then formed research and development teams for them, assigning them to laboratories.

If there is absolutely no hope, or if the research and development direction is wrong, cancel it directly, and then he will assign the task.

Of course, this was done in secret, with Norman Osborn in the middle. So why didn't Link himself come forward, or did he conduct the research on his own?

On the one hand, it was for the sake of secrecy. Link didn't want to expose himself too early. After all, this matter sounded very plausible, and it was easy for people to suspect something.

On the other hand, Osborne Group is currently enjoying great success. With the sales of its drugs and the increasing number of cured patients, Osborne Group's stock price has continued to climb, reaching $200 billion, making it the pharmaceutical group with the highest market capitalization.

However, this share was already quite good, so Link immediately contacted Pepper Potts, and Stark Industries acquired a stake in Stark Industries by merging Stark Industries' weapons division into Osborn Corporation.

However, this weapons division only includes production plants and research and development laboratories, and does not include weapons developed by Stark Industries in the past.

The production rights to these weapons are all in the hands of the military; otherwise, they wouldn't be priced this way. Stark Industries owns 20% of the Osborn Group, a stake worth 40 billion US dollars.

Link's share was reduced to 52%, Norman Osborn took 20%, and the remaining 8% flowed into the stock market as circulating shares.

This is the current shareholding structure. If more shareholders are to be added later, it will be discussed and agreed upon. Link will not reduce his shareholding again.

The weapons development department had been scaled back by this time because Tony Stark had closed it, resulting in the loss of a large number of researchers, but the laboratories and equipment remained.

The production department remained intact for the time being. Norman Osborn lobbied the military and secured some production quotas. The military also hoped to maintain these weapons production plants, given their top-notch equipment and workers.

After dealing with these matters, Link finally began the final touches.
