Hex Technology Tycoon of American Comics

"Guys, it seems that Lady Luck is not on your side."

Karl said confidently to the Osborne Group director in front of him.

After the incident, Karl went straight to the Osborne Building. The scene had not been cleaned up when he entered.

However, he had spoken to these Osborne directors before about purchasing assets.

There are rumors on TV and the Internet: The equipment on those villains belongs to the Osborne Group!

Several directors didn't know what to say, but their faces were extremely gloomy.

After Norman disappeared, the project was taken away by Stark Industries, and the miniaturized engine patent was taken away by United Aerospace, Osborn Company was about to die.

The results are still happening now. With investors withdrawing their capital, Osborne Group is afraid that it is not far from a debt default.

But looking back, the roots of the company's decline were already laid when Norman disappeared. For a technology company that has lost its most powerful research team, what future does it have?

Even if this company is the Osborne Group, a biological and military giant with a market value of tens of billions of dollars.

In silence, Karl shrugged indifferently: "Of course, I know that you must still have the idea of ​​​​deceiving me, but I have already made an estimate of your company's operating conditions.

You can judge for yourself whether my estimate is true. "

Karl handed over several documents, including estimates of the Osborne Group's current operating conditions, asset estimates, etc.

But what shocked these directors the most was the accuracy of the information -

This is simply the report made by the Osborne Group’s financial accountant!

"So... I suspect that you made false claims in the last quarter's public information. I have no evidence and I will not expose it, but I will only trade based on the valuation of this information."

The Osborne Group once had a wide range of businesses--

The Green Goblin Glider demonstrated their technical proficiency in propellers and their proficiency in various individual weapons.

In addition, there is the super soldier project that Norman is personally responsible for - although that plan eventually became the straw that brought down the Osborne Group.

And then there's biotech: The Osborne Group has been a leader in biotech and biomedicine in the United States.

As a result, cross-species genetic engineering has been running into obstacles, and the incident of Dr. Connors has also occurred.

As a result, after tinkering and tinkering, these things that once had high hopes turned out to be money-losing products, which also led to the collapse of public opinion and the stock price fell again and again.

Now, only biocable technology can still make some money, so they have been considering winning the New York power grid project.

But now, as soon as the relationship between the equipment of the Evil Trio and the Osborne Group has been revealed, the New York City government has to reconsider the public's voice, and it is temporarily unable to finalize the project contract.

The Osborne Group has been cornered.

"In short, these are the assets I am interested in. You can consider whether to trade them."

Karl handed over a piece of information again.

Above are the biological and medical research centers of the Osborne Group across the United States. Generally speaking, they are losing money, but they still make some money in the medical field.

It is one of the few profitable projects of the Osborne Group.

But the situation was stronger than the people - they looked at each other and started on-site discussion and voting.

Karl is not in a hurry, because he knows that this deal will definitely be completed.

Because before the conversation, he had made deals with several of the directors - he would take their shares at a price slightly higher than the valuation in this report.

Although I don’t know what Karl plans to do, there is no need to miss such a good opportunity to cash out and run away.

……

A few hours later, Carl walked out of Osborne Tower refreshed.

In the end, the transaction involved a total of US$5 million, buying a total of 18% of the Osborne Group's shares, slightly higher than Norman's psychological expectations.

But to be honest, this is already a fire sale at a bargain price - this is the Osborne Group!

Karl himself couldn't really come up with such a large amount of money, so it was all withdrawn from the Osborne family's private account, and the transaction was completed over two years.

In the past two years, Carl still needs to ask Norman's own asset management team for money. They will dispose of the Osborne family's assets and then give him the money.

In addition, Carl himself bought various research institutes and hospitals worth $3000 million, significantly lower than their true valuation.

This is the "handling fee" agreed upon by Carl and Norman.

"Kidnapping Norman Osborn was the best deal I've ever done." Carl said to Blitzcrank in his head.

"really."

Blitz did a rough calculation. Including the previous Green Goblin hang glider and various equipment, as well as his current assets, Carl has collected six to seven billion US dollars from Norman Osborne in the past six months...

And even if he is released now, Carl is not worried about any negative effects - after all, Norman is the Green Goblin!

When he first transformed into the Green Goblin, in order to vent his dissatisfaction, he directly killed several Eagle Army officials.

"Hey, Mr. Carl."

Just when Karl was about to call for a taxi, Peter's voice came from behind.

It looked like he had just changed clothes.

However, he looked very worried, as if he was still worried about what Shocker and Scorpion said.

Karl whistled: "What's wrong? You just caught the super criminal and he doesn't look in a good mood?"

"Uh...just thinking about some questions." Peter scratched his head, "What would happen if you really killed the rhinoceros?"

"This question..." Carl pretended to think about it for a moment, "First of all, the NCPD will track down the person who shot the gun, which is me, with varying degrees of intensity.

But I'm using a new type of weapon and it will take them about a week or two. "

"Then you will be found?"

"No, then the FBI, CIA, Homeland Security Bureau and... Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency will be the first to arrive. They will bring their own documents and announce that they have closed the case from the NCPD."

"what?"

Karl shrugged and continued: "You may not know the level of the weapon I just used. Let's put it this way, on the battlefield, even if it is a bunker, I can easily penetrate it and kill the people behind it.

Imagine how many uses this sniper rifle could have.

Eagle Nation needs me, needs my weapons, needs my...mind, so eventually this thing will end in some other way, they may threaten me with jail time, but I won't actually go to jail. "

"But...this is a bloody privilege."

"That's right, a bloody privilege." Karl knocked Peter on the head, "This is a matter of choice and concept. In short, if you want to ask what is the difference between me and thugs like them, that is...

I am a citizen of Eagle Country protected by law, and everything I do is conducted in accordance with legal procedures. "

Of course, with the help of various law enforcement agencies and secret services, as well as the bonus of money, it is easier for the law to be on Carl's side.

Peter fell into confusion after hearing this: It sounds like... people like Karl seem to be the kind of people he should arrest!

After all, if he doesn’t take action against people like Rhino Man, Scorpion Man, and Thriller, the NCPD will have to do so, but Karl... a person with great power...

If he doesn't take action, who can control him?

"I know what you're thinking - I've taken up too many privileges, but there's a reason for that. First of all, aren't you curious what I just went up to do?"

"Yes - why did you come out of the Osborne Group?"

"For this." Karl patted the suitcase, "Osborne Group's equity is 18% in total, worth 5 million US dollars."

"What?!" Peter exclaimed, and at the same time, he instantly understood why Carl provided the method to hack into the Rhino armor and the Scorpion suit!

All in order to gain more initiative at the negotiation table!

But taking advantage of the fire like this...

"The Osborne Group has a big problem, and a new group of decision-makers must be replaced - I think you can see that.

If no one replaces them, there may be more super villains in the future, and you may be in the mood to send them to prison again and again.

But New Yorkers don’t want to see the cars and houses they just bought smashed to pieces in just three days. "

Looking around again, Karl was absolutely right.

The Rhino Man trotted down the Osborne Group, crushing at least a hundred cars on the road, and smashed countless houses and shops.

If Karl intends to rectify the Osborne Group, in a sense he is rectifying the so-called... "bloody privilege."

Looking at Peter who was lost in thought, Karl knew that this kid had been deceived and was lame.

"Okay, let's go find the new chairman of Osborne Group now."

"Who?" Peter was stunned for a moment - with so much foreshadowing, doesn't it mean that Carl will be the chairman?

"Of course it's not me - 18% of the shares have to be elected by directors to be the chairman, but when combined with the other 35% of the shares, it's more than 50%.

The next chairman of the Osborne Group is... Harry Osborne - you and he seem to be classmates? "
