Chapter 124: The Scarecrow and the Electric Man
"Osborne Group is proud to announce the completion of the world's first electromagnetic power grid, transforming an old power station into a hydroelectric tower complex that produces clean, environmentally friendly and sustainable energy ......"
Led by Osborne's staff, Klein toured the world's top biotech company, which had been battered and criticized. Osborne Group's artificial intelligence Cali is playing a slogan in the company lobby.
Klein listened to Cali's kind voice, the corners of his mouth showed disdain, is this set again, every company is the same, bombarding propaganda internally, cultivating the centripetal force and sense of honor of the team...... Boring but effective. He has a double doctorate in chemistry and psychology, and he knows this set of psychological things best, and he is even more disdainful when he knows more.
The lobby of the Osborne Group is very atmospheric, and the elevators go up and down in all directions, showing the vitality of the company. Unlike Stark Group, which specializes in military industry, Osborne is at the forefront of the world in the field of biological research, and they have the most in-depth research on genes, so they have deep ties with many large institutions and forces.
"Mr. Klein, you know that there are a lot of misconceptions about us now, but in fact we ......" The staff member gushed about his company and the advantages of his company.
Klein listened coldly, but a gentle smile appeared on his face, which was very relatable.
"Thank you, can you allow me to walk around on my own? After all, on behalf of Mr. Downey, I want to understand all aspects of your company, and then report back. Otherwise, my boss will beat me to death. Klein said with a smile.
The man immediately showed a look of sympathy and sympathy, sighed, patted Klein on the shoulder, made a gesture of please, and left on his own.
Klein took a glass of water casually, and stood on the second floor drinking it to himself, looking down at the crowd coming and going on the first floor, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Ministry of Electricity...... Why would Donnie be interested in this department? Does he want to enter the energy industry so that he can provide energy for his mechanical soldiers? Klein frowned slightly, but quickly stretched out, holding a glass of water and signaling to passers-by in a gesture of friendship.
There must be someone in the Osborne Group who is eyeing him, and there is no disputing that, Downey's expansion is so fast that it causes a lot of people to turn around. If nothing else, the military, which has close ties, will intervene and not allow the Osborne Group to cooperate with Downey.
Although the Osborne Group is a private enterprise, its status is destined to be subject to attention and restrictions from all sides, and they dare not offend the military, which is a big customer and has no more influence.
After thinking about it, Klein casually asked an employee and went directly to the power department on the seventy-fourth floor. No matter what Donnie's plans are, since he let himself quietly pay attention to this employee of the Ministry of Electricity, he can just do it himself, and directly play the banner of cooperation, who can say that he can't come?
Klein walked into the elevator and said to the AI, "Go to the seventy-fourth floor." Just as the elevator door was about to close, a sloppy middle-aged uncle burst in gasping for breath and said "thank you" to Klein by the way, although Crane didn't do anything, let alone hold down the elevator door to facilitate his entry.
This is really a very sloppy middle-aged uncle, his hair is oily, he hasn't been washed for many days, his face is also dark, his front teeth are occasionally exposed, and an obvious gap can be seen in the middle, his eyes are even more dull, full of numbness, and he is wearing an old suit.
Klein quietly stood to the side - he didn't dislike this man's low status, he just didn't want to be around this unmotivated person, and Crane felt that it would affect his behavior.
The middle-aged uncle said to the artificial intelligence, "Go to the seventy-fourth floor", and then stood there quietly. After waiting for a while, he turned his neck, looked at Crane, and asked, "You're not an employee here, are you?" ”
Klein raised an eyebrow and replied gently, "Of course, how did you recognize it?" ”
The middle-aged uncle pointed to Klein's chest: "I remember every employee in our company. Even if you are new here, you are not wearing our company badge, which is not in accordance with the rules and regulations of Oscom. ”
Crane nodded, and glanced at the middle-aged man's badge that read: Ministry of Electricity - Max Dillon.
The screen inside the elevator began to play the day's news as usual, and the artificial intelligence Cali would read the news to his employees. The image of Cali is the head of a blonde beauty, and the voice is even sweeter and attractive.
The news of Downey's official stake in Wayne Enterprises is played on the screen.
The middle-aged uncle stared at the picture of Donnie and Bruce officially signing a contract, and for a moment, the whole person showed a surprised expression, as if the whole person had become a little radiant.
"Hey, do you see this guy? I saved him! I once saved his life, and he needs me! Of course, he saved me afterwards! Max was pleasantly surprised, grabbed Crane by the collar and shouted.
"What, you said you saved my boss?" Klein was shocked at the time, looking up and down at the person in front of him, he was useless, how could he save Donnie?
"He's your boss? That's great! Max was completely excited, and grabbed Klein and didn't let go, "That night, many people died, and his parents also died that day, and I saved him, and then he exerted his power and saved me!" He needs me, and I need him! ”
Max spoke incoherently, began to speak intermittently, and was overwhelmed by his agitation.
"Is he okay, is he okay now? He's all on the spotlight right now, and that's great! It's a pity that I'm still like this, and no one cares......" Max's face flushed with excitement, and his hands began to tremble.
Klein looked at this ordinary middle-aged man in amazement, a typical middle-aged citizen template, how could he be involved with someone like Donnie?
Klein's eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately pretended to be surprised: "It turned out to be you!" My boss told me about you, but I didn't expect you to be the one who saved him that day! ”
"What, does he remember me? Does he really remember me? "Max almost fainted, he's an invisible man, ignored by everyone, and someone really remembers him?
Immediately, Klein used his eloquence to talk to Max and learn more about it. Klein is a master of psychology and has a great advantage in controlling people's hearts, not to mention people like Max, who seem to have a very low sense of existence.
After a few hours of waiting, Klein walked out of the Osborne group, with a strong sense of jealousy in his eyes, hesitated and dialed Donnie's phone.
On the other end of the phone, Donnie, who received the news, was also shocked.
