Chapter 1387: Family Favors
Alvin and Norman Osborne have discussed the Dark Star......
The cyborg production lines on the Dark Star, as well as the disgusting-looking culture fluid, needed someone to take over.
The Osborne Group is the best candidate......
Making a life close to oneself is unacceptable in Alvin's concept.
But if Osborne can use those things to create the biosphere, that's a different story......
The two of them chatted until about 10 p.m.......
When Alvin finally left, he hesitated and asked Norman Osborne, "Do you think Dr. Otto is really a suitable candidate?"
I'm a little worried about his state, he definitely wants to do good, but sometimes it's too extreme, and it's easy to turn good things into bad things......"
Osborne smiled confidently and said, "Then you should accept him to work on the Darkstar, where he has no conflict with anyone."
His ideas about environmental protection are very practical......
He has a brilliant mind, and wasting it is a loss for the world.
Sometimes it doesn't matter what a person thinks......
It's all about how he does it......
And our role is to get them to act on our minds.
Alvin, you can't be so passive forever, or you'll find yourself missing out on a lot of useful people.
Because your heart is not willing to accept them......
Like the kid named Danny Rand, the RAND Group recently teamed up with Reed Richards, and they took over several classified projects for the military......
Reed Richards once came to me, and I turned him down......
Just yesterday, Danny Rand contacted me once and he wanted to work with him. ”
Alvin looked at Norman Osborne strangely and said with a smile, "What's wrong with you?"
Are you rejecting them because of me?
That's not your style......"
Norman Osborne pressed the elevator for Alvin, then said with a smile: "I sometimes feel like I should still be on the side of my friend, even if that friend is sometimes troublesome......
And Reed's guy is a nuisance......
The main thing is that I don't trust the kind of scientists who treat research as a business......
Looking through Reid's resume, his investors are simply indescribable in the end! ”
Alvin laughed and hugged Norman Osborne, saying, "I don't like that guy Reed because his girlfriend is so pretty......
But don't let me influence your decision, you said that business is business......"
Norman Osborne smiled and shook his head, and said, "I'm telling you this to persuade you that sometimes you should try to accept something you don't like......
If they help your cause, you can try to get them to act on your ideas!
Has anyone ever told you that you are sometimes generous, but sometimes you are mean! ”
Alvin waved his hand indifferently and said, "Dude, it makes me feel strange that this is coming out of your mouth......
Who can make everyone like it?
The ones you say aren't what I like to do!
Sitting in an office and letting everyone act on my mind makes me feel like I'm in an electric chair that is always energized.
It doesn't matter what the RAND Group or Reed Richards want to do......"
Norman Osborne smiled and said, "I knew you would say that......
So in the spirit of always standing on my own side, I refuse those cooperation!
We're busy enough, after all......
But Dr. Otto is a little different, we have the ability to control the risk, why not let him try it? ”
Alvin nodded and said, "Regarding Dr. Otto's question, you have the final say......
In fact, the so-called 'control' is exactly what worries me......
In my experience, the more 'controlled' you have, the more severe the backlash.
I can sense that what Dr. Otto just said is from the heart, so let him try it on the Dark Star......
Maybe he can slowly find the right 'boundary' on the road to realizing his ideals......
Let's wait and see! ”
Norman Osborne shook his head a little amusedly, Alvin will always be the same Alwin......
He never forces others to accept his ideas, he always expresses his views clearly, and then stands aside and "waits and sees"!
Sometimes things turn out to prove him wrong, and then he'll laugh and say 'I'm sorry', but Alvin is still Alvin.
His "stubbornness" has attracted many people from all walks of life to gather around him, as long as the personality is not so awkward, no one feels that it will be pressure to get along with him.
A utilitarian like Norman Osborne also feels like he is slowly being changed by Alvin.
At least he has seldom rejected certain collaborations that are sure to yield great benefits for reasons other than interests.
Looking at the elevator that opened the door, Norman Osborne smiled and stretched out his hand to Alvin, and said, "It's better for you to leave some things to the right people......
I've been with you for a long time, and I don't feel like such a qualified businessman anymore!
That Danny Rand told me when he was leaving that some of his brothers had come to New York, and I guess they were going to target those keels in your hand.
He tried to save the country through me, but I refused him......
I reckon he'll come back to you! ”
Saying that, Norman Osborne held down the elevator, hesitated for a moment and said: "Actually, according to your standards, the performance of the RAND Group is actually very good.
The juvenile delinquency rehabilitation program they funded had achieved outstanding results, and George admired him.
But because of you, they've been excluded from mainstream groups in New York right now......
Sometimes you really can't underestimate your influence.
I know you don't care about Danny Rand at all, and it's stupid for you to justify something you've never done......
But if Danny Rand comes to your restaurant for a drink one day, you might be able to say hi to him. ”
Alvin never imagined that the RAND Group would be isolated by these high-level people in New York for his own reasons......
He'd told himself many times to be careful what he said, but he still didn't think that just disliking someone would make him anxious......
Looking at Norman Osborne's serious old face, Alvin said helplessly: "Okay, I listened to your words......
But you have to tell me, why are you talking for Danny Rand?
It's not your style, the two of us seem to have our identities reversed......
You've made me look like a villain! ”
Norman Osborne laughed and said, "Old Rand, that is, Danny Rand's father, used to be a good friend of my father, and Osborne owes his family a favor.
You may not know that part of the reason for the adventure in the Himalayas that killed Old Rand was because he wanted to help my father collect some medicinal herbs......
I'm actually glad you didn't make it too hard for me!
You may not know that if you hadn't acceded to Matt Murdoch's request to give the keel to Danny at the time.
I might take a portion of the keel out of my hand and heal him. ”
Alvin nodded suddenly, New York is not big, and there is always a little bit of an inextricable connection between these big names.
Looking at the expression on Norman Osborne's face, Alvin smiled and said, "These are really not a big deal, and you can't say hello to me specifically for this Danny Rand."
I never wanted to embarrass him, and if you still care about working with him, you should be professional.
As for the keel thing......
See, at least I need to know what he wants from the dragon backbone? ”
Alvin, who walked into the elevator, was about to press the button of the elevator, but the light in the elevator suddenly flickered......
Immediately afterwards, a fierce alarm began to sound inside the Osborne Building......
Osborne was extremely calm, he stepped into the elevator, and then pressed the button in the basement for Alvin, and connected to the Osborne Group's security department......
"What happened?"
As soon as Norman Osborne's words fell, an anxious voice came, "Sir, someone has burglarized our 15th-floor lab......
Now that our men have sealed off the building, we will soon be able to find each other. ”
Norman Osborne frowned at this and said in a deep voice: "Let people go and confirm the damage to the laboratory, and by the way, call the police to inform the police, and let them block the nearby streets." ”
Seeing Norman Osborne turn off the communicator with an ugly expression, Alvin smiled and said, "What's wrong with this world?" How dare anyone come to the Osborne Building to steal? ”
Norman Osborne shook his head indifferently and said, "It's too normal, there are always people who want to get something for nothing......
It's not just me, it's every big company that has the same trouble.
Commercial espionage, theft of scientific research, theft of experimental prototypes......
This is not surprising, and some of the thefts even have a government background......
Virus materials in Harlem were stolen last week, and one of our in-house researchers brought them into the U.S. Department of Security lab. ”
Alvin looked at Norman Osborne in amazement and said, "You just let them steal your work?" ”
Norman Osborne looked at the elevator numbers in front of him and said, "There is no point in pursuing some things, the plague in Harlem is not replicable, that is, it has no follow-up research value."
I destroyed all the original viruses, and the data they took was only of theoretical value......
Now the U.S. Department of Security owes me an explanation, and I can go and ask them for an 'explanation' when I need it, which is a good deal! ”
Norman Osborne was talking to Alvin about how to deal with thefts when a messenger came in......
"Sir, all the keels stored in the laboratory on the 15th floor are gone......"
Alvin listened slightly gloating and whistled......
Norman Osborne was a rare good person, and was immediately slapped in the face, making the atmosphere in the elevator a little funny.
Alvin looked at Norman Osborne's slightly blue face and said with a smile, "Are you sure that Danny Rand wants to talk to me about the keel?" ”
Norman Osborne straightened up, stretched the corners of his mouth, and said, "You think Danny did it?" ”
Alvin shook his head and smiled, "I think it's more like trying to frame Danny Rand......
That kid is impulsive, but certainly not stupid!
What are you going to do if those people run away? ”
Norman Osborne reserved the proper suit on his body, looked at the elevator door opened, and said with a serious expression: "I will call the police......
When did security in New York get to this point?
You should come with me to the media and put a little pressure on George!
We've helped the New York Police so much that it's time for him to give back......"
Alvin glared at Norman Osborne, who looked like a bastard rich man, and said funny: "I can now understand why Director George has always wanted to resign!"
If my precinct was full of villains like you, I wouldn't be able to do it! ”
Norman Osborne nodded with a smile and said, "It is the duty of the police to investigate the case, and I can't wait for the thief to send it to the door by himself!" ”
Alvin looked at the entrance of the Osborne Building, a few dozen meters away, where onlookers and media reporters had already gathered......
After a little hesitation, Alvin smiled and walked out with Norman Osborne.
Whatever the purpose of this theft, it was clear that someone was cheating on that Danny Rand......
Norman Osborne was trying to pull him along.
Leaving the work to the police will make things easier......
And if Alvin is willing to come forward, he can send a signal to Danny Rand that someone is cheating on him......
Otherwise, with Alvin's understanding of the keel, they can't talk nonsense at all, and the RAND Group is the first suspect!
