Osborne Megacorp

Chapter 12 General Ross’s Call

"Mr. Osborne, there are rumors that you killed a foreigner in Clinton District (Hell's Kitchen) recently. How do you explain this?"

As usual, every time he did something big, Harry had to deal with troublesome press conferences.

Although Harry is confident that these problems can be solved, what must be done must be done, and this is a critical period in Norman's political career.

"Miss reporter, I want to correct your statement. That was not a 'foreigner', but a professional killer. My behavior was self-defense. In fact, my lawyer is already handling this matter. You can continue to follow up.”

When Harry said the four words "professional killer", the crowd screamed.

"I'm sorry, there was something wrong with my wording." The reporter quickly apologized and sat down.

In fact, this question was arranged by Harry himself-someone would always ask this question, so why not let one of his own ask it.

"It's okay," Harry smiled and nodded, pointing to a young man in the audience who was in high spirits, "Journalist, what questions do you have?"

"How did you subdue that career criminal? There are rumors that your performance was as heroic as Captain America's in fighting the Nazis. Some even speculated whether you had the same body modification as Captain America?"

Harry smiled, this was also a matter of his arrangement.

"Reporter, what's your name?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, and when he realized that this was an opportunity for Harry to give him a familiar face, he immediately replied excitedly:

"My name is Eddie Brock, you can call me Eddie. I'm still in college."

"Part-time study, part-time job, self-reliance? Then we can be considered colleagues in a sense?"

Harry's answer made everyone laugh, and many people gave Eddie a kind smile. Sometimes it is important to give these young people some opportunities while leaving a good impression on themselves.

"Back to the topic, thank you for your question, Eddie. This question involves our company's new product."

Harry motioned for Hurley to come forward.

"This is a new type of exoskeleton designed specifically for law enforcement police to enhance the user's physical fitness and strength and is equipped with ballistic steel plates."

In the video, Hurley lifts a 300kg barbell and looks effortless.

Then, the simulated actual combat test video of the exoskeleton was demonstrated through a video, which was amazing.

"As everyone knows, our company was attacked and robbed some time ago, and many industrial exoskeletons were stolen, which caused everyone to panic. I am deeply sorry for this."

Harry put down the phone and bowed deeply.

"Mr. Osborne, we all know that it was not your fault, it was the criminal's fault, and you don't have to blame yourself." Eddie continued.

"No, using technology to improve lives and achieve the future has always been the purpose of Osborne Company. That's why I developed this exoskeleton and decided to sell these equipment to the New York Police Department at cost price!"

There was applause at the scene.

"In fact, we have reached in-depth cooperation with the New York Police Department in the past few months to rectify several areas in the city with high crime rates, especially Hell's Kitchen!"

Applause broke out again.

Harry paused and took a sip of water. Everyone was waiting for the next step.

"I know that some people have argued in the past that my father and I publicly mentioning this name is a form of discrimination, but is the real discrimination about the name?"

"Drug is rampant, public security is bad, and employment is difficult. A child born in Hell's Kitchen is likely to learn to take drugs at the age of 10 or even earlier, or even sell these things. It is right to turn a blind eye to these things and dwell on a name. Their discrimination!”

"Osborne Group is about to start renovation measures. In the future, when these problems are solved, you can change it to a more meaningful name if you want!"

"You know what to do! Vote for Norman Osborn!"

The press conference ended with applause.

Watching the video of last week's press conference, the father and son clinked glasses.

"You seem to have more potential as a politician than I do, my son."

"Please, father, that's just what Hurley wrote before. If I had a choice, I'd rather let her say these words."

"So, you two..." Norman straightened up and made a movement.

Harry rolled his eyes at his father, "Please, I'm only 17 years old, father, and I still have some things to confirm. At least I can't make a decision until you become president."

"Come on, don't I know you? By the way, you will be an adult soon. Is there anything you want?"

"The New York City grid, that's it." Harry shrugged.

"Speaking of this, the mayor agreed to postpone the project progress, but the new power grid will use Dr. Otto's nuclear fusion technology, and I agreed."

Harry said it didn't matter. Nuclear fusion was originally intended to be used on the New York power grid. In other words, this should be considered an overfulfillment of the task, right?After all, the original power grid was designed to use hydropower.

The only problem now is Jin Bin, but if you want to checkmate this big fat man, you still need the fire. This eager fat man has caused quite a bloody storm these days.

Jingle Bell--

It was Norman's phone that rang.

"General Ross." Norman winked at Harry. "How's it going?"

"Not so good, Norman. Stark has been missing for too long, and Congress is worried about new weapons falling into enemy hands."

Speaking of this, Harry was a little strange. He remembered that Stark's disappearance shouldn't have been so long?

Suddenly he thought of one thing - that is, the US military in the movie does not have the power armor he developed... In other words, when Stark goes to Afghanistan, what will happen should be different, besides, in this world It wasn't exactly the movie world he was familiar with.

Is this the butterfly effect?

"Is Harry with you?" General Ross called for Harry by name.

"Wait a moment, I'll call him over."

After a moment of silence, Harry spoke:

"General Ross, what's wrong?"

"I'll tell you the truth, is that rumor true? Human body enhancement technology?"

This is indeed what happened.General Ross has always been obsessed with human enhancement and has created things like the Hulk, and has never stopped tracking Banner after he disappeared.

"No, General. If we obtain controllable technology, of course we will seek cooperation with you as soon as possible." The father and son looked at each other and smiled.

As for what is uncontrollable, of course it is not necessarily the case.Of course, Ross understood the tricks of Harry's speech, but he misunderstood what Harry meant. He thought Harry was talking about the Green Goblin Enhancer, the project they had abandoned.

"..." There was silence on the other side of the phone.

At this time, Harry suddenly thought that as a military boss, General Ross's support was very valuable. Maybe he could have more in-depth contact and cooperation with Ross.

"But...General, we have another project that you might be interested in..."

Harry reported Dr. Connors' ongoing research to General Ross, and as expected, he became interested in it.

As long as he can win Ross's support...the military, political and business parties have made heavy bets at the same time, and Harry doesn't know how Kingpin will come back.
