Chapter 1387 Family favors(1/2)
Alvin and Norman Osborn discussed matters regarding the "Dark Star"...
The cyborg production lines on the "Dark Star" and those disgusting-looking culture fluids need someone to take over.
The Osborne Group is the perfect choice...
Creating a life close to himself is unacceptable in Alvin's concept.
But if Osborne could use those things to create the ecosystem, that would be another matter...
The two of them chatted until nearly 10 o'clock in the evening...
When Alvin finally left, he still hesitated and asked Norman Osborn, "Do you think Dr. Otto is really a suitable candidate?
I'm a little worried about his state. He definitely wants to do good things, but sometimes in extreme circumstances, it's easy to turn good things into bad things..."
Osborne smiled confidently after hearing this and said: "Then you should accept him to work at the Dark Star, where he will have no conflict with anyone.
His ideas about environmental protection are very practical...
He had a brilliant mind and it would be the world's loss to waste it.
Sometimes it doesn't matter what a person thinks...
What matters is how he does it...
And our role is to make them act according to our ideas.
Alvin, you can't always be so passive, otherwise you will find that you have missed many useful people.
Because you don't want to accept them in your heart...
Just like that kid named Danny Rand, the Rand Group recently cooperated with Reed Richards, and they took over several confidential military projects...
Reed Richards came to me, and I turned him down...
Just yesterday, Danny Rand also contacted me and he wanted to seek cooperation."
Alvin looked at Norman Osborne strangely after hearing this, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with you?
Did you reject them because of me?
This is not your style..."
Norman Osborne pressed the elevator for Alvin, and then said with a smile: "I occasionally feel that I should stand on the side of my friend, even though that friend is sometimes very troublesome...
And that guy Reed is trouble...
The most important thing is that I don’t trust scientists who treat scientific research as a business...
Looking through Reed’s resume, his investors are simply speechless in the end!”
After hearing this, Alvin laughed and hugged Norman Osborne, and said: "I don't like that guy Reed, because his girlfriend is too beautiful...
But don’t let me influence your decision. You said, business is business..."
Norman Osborne smiled and shook his head after hearing this, and said: "I am telling you this to persuade you. Sometimes you should try to accept some people or things you don't like...
If they are helpful to your career, you can try to get them to act on your ideas!
Has anyone ever told you that sometimes you are generous, but sometimes you are also mean?"
After hearing this, Alvin waved his hands indifferently and said: "Brother, I feel very strange when these words come out of your mouth...
Who can be liked by everyone?
Those things you mentioned are not things I like to do!
Sitting in an office and having everyone do what I want makes me feel like I'm sitting in an electric chair that's going to turn on at any moment.
It has nothing to do with me what the RAND Corporation or Reed Richards wants to do..."
Norman Osborne said with a smile on his face: "I knew you would say that...
So in line with the idea of always standing on the side of my own people, I refuse those cooperations!
We are busy enough after all...
But Dr. Otto is a little different. We have the ability to control risks, so why not let him try it?"
Alvin nodded and said: "As for Dr. Otto's issue, you have the final say...
In fact, the so-called 'control' is exactly what I am worried about...
From my experience, the more stringent the 'control', the more severe the backlash will be.
I can feel that what Dr. Otto just said comes from the bottom of his heart, so let him try it on the Dark Star...
Maybe he can slowly find the appropriate 'boundaries' on the road to realizing his ideals...
Let’s wait and see!”
Norman Osborn shook his head slightly amusedly, Alvin will always be the same Alvin...
He never forces others to accept his ideas. He always expresses his views clearly and then stands aside and "wait and see"!
Sometimes things would turn out to prove him wrong, and he would laugh and say, 'Sorry,' but Alvin was still Alvin.
His "stubbornness" has attracted many people of all kinds to gather around him. As long as his personality is not so awkward, no one will feel pressure to get along with him.
Utilitarians like Norman Osborne also felt that they were slowly being changed by Alvin.
At least in the past, he rarely refused certain cooperations that were sure to yield huge benefits for reasons other than profit.
Looking at the elevator opening the door, Norman Osborne smiled, stretched out his hand to Alvin, and said: "Some things are better left to the right person..."
After being with you for a long time, I feel that I am not that qualified a businessman anymore!
When Danny Rand left, he told me that several of his senior brothers had come to New York. I guess their target was the dragon bones in your hand.
He wanted to use me to save the country, but I rejected him...
I guess he will still look for you!"
As he spoke, Norman Osborne pressed the elevator button, hesitated and said, "Actually, according to your standards, the Rand Group's performance is actually very good.
The juvenile delinquent rehabilitation project they funded has achieved outstanding results, and George admires him very much.
But because of you, they have been excluded from the mainstream groups in New York...
Sometimes you really can't underestimate your own influence.
I know you don't care about Danny Rand at all, and it's stupid to ask you to defend something you have never done...
But if Danny Rand comes to your restaurant for a drink one day, you might want to say hello to him."
Alvin never thought that the Rand Group would be isolated by these high-level officials in New York for its own reasons...
He has told himself many times to be careful when speaking, but he still never thought that just because he didn't like someone, he could make him miserable...
Looking at Norman Osborne's serious old face, Alvin said helplessly: "Okay, I listened to what you said...
But you have to tell me, why are you speaking for Danny Rand?
This is not your style. Our identities seem to be reversed...
You make me look like a villain!"
Norman Osborne laughed and said: "Old Rand, Danny Rand's father, was once a good friend of my father, and Osborne owed his family a favor.
You may not know that part of the reason for the Himalayan adventure that cost Old Rand his life was because he wanted to help my father collect some medicinal materials...
I've actually been very lucky that you didn't make it too difficult for me!
You might not know it if you hadn't agreed to Matt Murdock's request and handed the keel to Danny.
I might take out part of the dragon bone from my hand to treat his injury."
Alvin nodded suddenly. New York is not a big city, and there are always some inextricable connections between these big shots.
Looking at the expression on Norman Osborne's face, Alvin smiled and said: "These are really not big things, and you don't have to say hello to me specifically for this Danny Rand.
I never thought of embarrassing him. If you still care about cooperating with him, you should behave professionally.
As for the keel thing...
Let's see, at least I have to know what he wants the dragon bone for?"
As Alvin walked into the elevator and was about to press the elevator button, the lights in the elevator suddenly flashed...
Immediately afterwards, fierce alarm sounds began to sound inside the Osborne Building...
Osborne showed extremely calmness. He stepped into the elevator, and then pressed the button in the basement for Alvin while connecting to the communication and connecting to the security department of the Osborne Group...
"what's going on?"
As soon as Norman Osborne finished speaking, an anxious voice came over, "Sir, someone burglarized our laboratory on the 15th floor...
Now our people have sealed off the building and will be able to find the other party soon."
Norman Osborne frowned after hearing this, and said in a deep voice: "Have someone confirm the damage to the laboratory, and call the police to notify them and ask them to block nearby streets."
Seeing Norman Osborn turn off the communicator with an ugly expression, Alvin said with a smile: "What's wrong with this world? There are still people who dare to come to the Osborne Building to steal things?"
Norman Osborne shook his head indifferently and said: "This is too normal, there are always people who want to get something for nothing...
To be continued...
