Osborne Megacorp
Chapter 7 How to deal with the invincible Kingpin?
"The Osborne Group factory was attacked and hundreds of high-tech equipment were stolen!"
"The safety of exoskeleton equipment is questionable, and people are demanding that individuals and companies be restricted from owning exoskeleton equipment!"
Harry swung his glass, feeling a little irritated.
Is there something wrong with these guys' minds?I was robbed. Instead of asking the New York Police Department to do a good job in policing, you blame the equipment we produce for being too advanced?
"Father, has the business been affected?"
Norman was looking at the information and closed the computer after hearing this.
"Yes, orders for civilian exoskeletons have dropped a lot, and some companies have canceled orders, but military orders have not been affected."
"What do the media and officials say?"
"They need to pay more. It seems that someone has already said hello to them in advance." Norman's face was also a little gloomy. "He looks like a big shot."
The big shot, of course, the leader of all-American gangs.
Jingle Bell--
Harry's cell phone rang. The father and son looked at each other and put the phone on speakerphone.
"Mr. Osborne, I am very sorry for your company's experience and losses. I would like to call you to express my regards."
The man's voice sounded gentle and low, and he spoke like a gentleman.
"Thank you for your condolences. Who are you?" Norman asked.
"Ah, yes, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself in my hurry." The person on the other side of the phone paused, "I'm Wilson Fisk."
Harry frowned at this.What does this guy want to do?
"Thank you for your condolences, Mr. Fisk, is there anything else?"
"Actually, I noticed that your company seems to have encountered some troubles recently. I have some friends from all walks of life. I may be able to help you solve these troubles."
After a moment of silence, Norman replied:
"Sounds great, so how can we help you?"
"Haha, I'm being ridiculous when I say this. I never ask for anything in return for helping my friends. In addition, I noticed that your company seems to have encountered some financial problems. If you encounter problems with the municipal power grid project, I can help you. Solve some funding issues.”
So that's what he had in mind?New York power grid?
"Also, I want to purchase a batch of exoskeleton equipment. It's time to equip my employees with some protective measures..."
Hearing this, Harry understood that the fat man Emotion was treating them like monkeys!
If nothing else goes wrong, Kingpin will lower the price of the exoskeleton, then ask the Osborne Group to illegally sell military power armor, and then ask to join the municipal power grid project - this fat guy has a really big appetite!
Harry was really angry this time, and he shook his head slightly at Norman.
"Well...your proposal is very tempting, but the company has encountered a lot of things recently, and I need to take some time to think about it."
"Oh, of course, such an important thing must be considered carefully! Then I won't disturb you, Mr. Norman Osborne, and Mr. Harry Osborne."
Snapped.
"He wants to blackmail us." Norman shrugged. He had seen too many people like this, and Fisk was only considerate of older guys.
"No, Father, he is really capable of settling these things." Harry took out his computer and fiddled with something on it. "Father, do you know Kingpin?"
"A gang leader who controls gangs across America? But that's just a legend. You're not going to tell me it's true, are you?"
"He may not be as awesome as the legend says, but there is such a person." Harry turned on the projector and continued, "Think about it, father, a few hours before the attack, all the cameras on the road leading to the factory were turned off. The New York Police Department came late and said that the police force was insufficient. Did you know that the newspaper also published the news yesterday that the New York Police Department helped an old woman recover her pet cat, on the same day."
"It sounds troublesome... Then consider settling this matter with money? What is this?"
"No, we can't have anything to do with them."
The projection shows the route that Jin Bin's truck took after grabbing the items. It can be seen that they deliberately made several circles.
"Is this... a tracker? You want to solve the problem yourself? Sounds like a gangster approach."
"No...Father, I want you to show me this road map. The key is not where the tracker stops, the key is their route."
Harry marked out several sections of the route.
"These places are not parishes. Some places even have police stations nearby. Besides, I didn't hear that there were any major cases that night that urgently needed the police, but the police just didn't help."
"It sounds like...this Kingpin is very powerful."
"Indeed, but he mostly used shady methods: bribing high-level officials and then creating excuses; lending money to low-level officials, threatening people personally, and taking relatives as hostages. If we decide to cooperate with him, he will catch us sooner or later. handle."
Norman was also a person who almost became the Green Goblin. Of course he could understand these things, and the Osborne Group also spent a lot of money for "entertainment".
"King is nothing, but if we don't solve the gang order he represents, there will still be the next Kingpin coming to us for benefits."
"So, you don't want me to be the Kingpin, do you?" Norman joked.
"No, Father, I want you to be president."
As he finished speaking, Norman's expression became very strange, President?Is this a matter of course?
"This is no joke, father. First we have to try to get you to become the governor of New York State. This shouldn't be difficult. After all, you are the founder of the well-known Osborne Group..."
Seeing that his son had no intention of joking, Norman gradually got into the role.
Considering the strength of the Osborne Group, no matter which party it is, it needs such a company to back it up.
The war in Afghanistan is currently raging. It stands to reason that using the military industry as an entry point and participating in the caucus activities of the ruling party is a good entry point. However, Harry is a time traveler after all. He knows that the other major opposition party is better in the long run. Suitable for Norman.
Tony Stark has disappeared in Afghanistan. When he returns, he will give up most of Stark Industries' military industry and promote anti-war ideas as Iron Man. On the other hand, the war in Afghanistan has been going on for several years, and the domestic opposition has War sentiment is intense, and the war in Afghanistan will become a burden rather than a good target to win votes.
The most important thing is that aliens are coming soon... In this world, internationalization is inevitable.
In some discussions, Norman Osborn, who was supposed to become the Green Goblin, decided on his future path - he wanted to become the President of the United States.
The next day, the news that Norman Osborne resigned as CEO of Osborne Group and will participate in this year's New York State Assembly election detonated major media.
Kingpin, right?The gangster emperor, right?Just wait for me.
