Chapter 23 Norman Osborn 【Part 2】
"I left you an empire, but this empire must first guarantee its pure blood successor!"
"What do you want to say?"
Harry frowned sensitively at Norman Osborne's words.
"Don't you understand Harry?" Norman Osborn looked at Harry. "Osborne Industry is the empire I founded, and there is no doubt that it is the heir of its pure blood, but it is not easy for you to sit firmly in that position."
"My situation in the company is not good. Look at me, I can only lie here now, I can't even show up in front of people and be exposed to the sun. I have not had the energy to manage a number of operations and planning services in the company for a while."
"When I was alive, those people on Wall Street were afraid to do whatever they wanted, but without me, you might not be able to suppress those people."
"It's like you know me very well." Harry, who was emotionally turbulent, couldn't help but sting.
"Of course I know you! You have a talent I don't have! But you abandon it!" Norman Osborne replied sharply. "I have always been determined to make decisions about the company over the years. Because of the 'enhancing potion', almost all the shareholders of the company and I stood opposite each other."
"They want to give up this project that seems far from success, but every year it devours a lot of research funds like a gold-swalking beast, but how could I give up?"
“It’s about my life!”
"It's also about the future of you and the Osborne family."
"I have used all kinds of means to suppress such remarks and proposals for many years. Do you know what they called me behind my back?"
Norman Osborne said calmly: "They call me a tyrant!"
"When I was in a company position, I could suppress them with all kinds of means. But after I was terminally ill and unable to represent and handle company affairs, as time went by, any emotions and things would fade irresistibly. It would be difficult for me to suppress them as I once did. Unless I am willing to show them the face I am now."
"Harry, Harry," Norman Osborne called Harry's name continuously, and his tone gradually became stronger: "How cruel I had to suppress those people at the beginning, they hated me as much as I could! My death cannot relieve them."
Harry asked softly: "Will they target me?"
"Worse than that, child!" Norman Osborn said with some breath, "I want to solve the nightmare of the Osborne family generation, but it seems to be a failure at the moment; I want to leave you a stable empire, but now your position is a bit swaying; I have sniped the Storm Enterprise many times, but it has survived tenaciously and unreasonably."
"Harry, internal and external troubles, after I die, I will be your enemy inside and outside."
"The Osborne family will still be the largest shareholder of Osborne Industry," Harry said.
"Yes, the Osborne family will still be the largest shareholder of Osborne Industry, but without Osborne Industry's top research laboratories, you will lose your future." Norman Osborne sighed softly and said: "The people on Wall Street will take all the power of Osborne Industry. They will happily stop the research that I support, which is unprofitable but is of great significance to the Osborne family."
"The hope of the Osborne family will be cut off, and you will soon lie here like me, slowly, tormented, counting the days that are worse than death, waiting for death."
Harry's face turned pale, his hands were trembling, but his body stood straight.
"I'm not worried about the people on Wall Street in Osborne Industry, I'm worried about the heirs of Storm's business," said Norman Osborne.
"Meng Ao?" Harry looked at his father in surprise.
The circle of these young people is not big. Even if they have never met each other, they have heard of young people from other families. Meng Ao is not unfamiliar to Harry.
"Mendel Stom and I have been fighting for more than ten years, but I have to admit now that he is indeed more successful than me." Norman Osborne said: "You have to be careful of the heir of Stom's business, Harry, who will become your big enemy and may become the terminator of the Osborne family's nightmare."
"What is this? The continuation of the family war?" Harry spread his hands: "Why can't you shake hands and make peace? I know Meng Ao, who was one of the few playmates I was a child, and he would take over the olive branch I handed over."
"That's what I'm worried about!" Norman Osborn said weakly: "If I could shake hands and make peace, I would have made peace with Mendel long ago."
"What is the core industry of Storm's enterprise?" asked Norman Osborne.
"Super serum." Harry said. This kind of news is difficult for ordinary people to obtain, but there is no secret barrier for people like him.
"Do you know about the 'S.ST01' incident?" Norman Osborne continued, but obviously he didn't expect his son Harry to know, so just a beat, he continued: "Storm Enterprise, as a truly finished third-generation super serum, was stolen during the delivery to the military, and the research data was completely destroyed, and some of them were stolen."
"You did it?" Harry's eyes widened for a moment.
"What do you think?" Norman Osborne was very calm: "There were failures in the research of the 'fortifying agent', and other shareholders of the company that were jointly organized by Wall Street all put pressure on me. At that time, I had to think of other methods."
"I know Storm's achievements, so he doesn't want to hide them from me. So I played a ruthless move."
"I ruined his research, hindered his cooperation with the military, and caused him to suffer a lot. The military was very disappointed at that time!"
"At this time, I applied to the military for Osborne Industry's 'Strength Drug' project, and wanted to obtain the follow-up project funds that the military originally planned to allocate to Storm. If I succeed, I will be able to get rid of those annoying company shareholders and bring in batches of military orders for Osborne Industry in the future."
"But I failed."
"Mendel's connections in the military were much stronger than I thought, and the military trusted and expected him far more than I did."
"Is this incident exposed?" Harry looked at his father. He knew that such incidents could not be exposed, because once they were exposed, it would be a big storm! As Norman Osborne's son, he would definitely not be confused about this incident and had no impression!
"Not exposed, but I believe Mendel knew I did it. I did it perfectly except for a trivial flaw." Norman Osborne was a little tired.
"Flaws?" Harry squatted down gently in front of the couch.
"It was just a man, he took some serum. But he was also seriously injured. After so many years, he either died or hid somewhere to survive." Norman Osborne continued: "Although the military rejected my application, some of the Mendel's research received also gave me a lot of benefits. So I never hope that Mendel would work with me again."
"Look at this." Norman Osborne raised his hand with difficulty, picked up a box on the bedside table, opened the box in front of Harry, and took out a syringe containing green liquid from it.
"What is this?" Harry asked, looking at the clear and green liquid in the syringe, he felt a little nervous unconsciously.
"My purpose was not this for the sixth generation of Storm Enterprise's super serum, which is a pity." Norman Osborne whispered.
"You're crazy!" Harry suddenly stood up and looked at his father in shock.
"I'm helping you!" Norman Osborn looked at him seriously: "Meng Ao is a little wolf! A very aggressive little wolf! He is also a very capable little wolf! What's even more terrifying is that he still has the talent and ability not inferior to his father. When you take over Osborne Industry and settle down, I have to find something for him and distract his energy! Let him not always peek at Osborne Industry's stock."
"He has what we need in his hand. I don't have the time and the opportunity to get it, but you can. Someone will help you!"
"Who will help me?" Harry was a little confused.
