"You can grow arms by eating a bean? Are you sure you're not kidding me?"

After the age of knowing the destiny, Norman Osborn is not a cheerful character, coupled with the inherited gentleman's habits, Norman Osborn rarely shows his expression. As for the act of surprise and surprise, it goes without saying.

But now, after hearing Stark's description, he still raised his voice unconsciously, showing surprise and suspicion uncharacteristically.

"Although it hasn't reached the stage of in vivo experiments, we can't really confirm it, but..." Stark smiled, raised his finger and pointed at Shi Xiaolei: "He took out the things, and he told me the effect. I think , there shouldn't be any mistakes."

"I thought you had already verified it." Responding first, Shi Xiaolei took the bait and met Norman Osborn's gaze: "He is right, the effect of fairy beans is indeed extraordinary. Generally, if you don’t believe it, you can take two of them home and find a disabled volunteer to try.”

"Didn't you say there wasn't much stock left?" Stark interrupted to protest.

"There's no room for waste, but if it's serious research, it's okay to squeeze out a few." Shi Xiaolei shrugged, and gave Stark an expression of 'I'm very reasonable': "And, I I didn't intend to join you guys and get involved in the acquisition of Pioneer Technology... Don't look at me like that, you know, I've always been like this. Well, it's not like being nagged by you, saying that I'm not good enough to cooperate, That's why I took a few more fairy beans to top the bag. Is it straightforward enough to put it this way?"

"..." Staring at Shi Xiaolei, Stark could only shake his head helplessly: "Well, you've already said that, what else can I say."

"Norman, don't mind. I really can't play the game of commercial acquisition."

"It's okay." Norman Osborn nodded with a smile: "Although it's a bit regrettable, I can understand."

"Thank you." Clapping his hands and standing up, Shi Xiaolei said with a smile: "Then...you two big bosses, please chat slowly. I'll go play with them for a while, so I won't bother you."

Walking out from under the awning, Shi Xiaolei took off his floral shirt and walked towards the children who were playing on the beach shirtless.

The two people who stayed under the awning looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

"Sometimes, I really envy him a little bit."

"Although I don't want to admit it, but...Forget it, let's not talk about him, let's talk about ours. Norman, I have a question about the acquisition of Pioneer Technology..."

This conversation between Stark and Norman Osborn only confirmed the intention of cooperation.

As for the specific cooperation between the two groups, and those details that need to be paid attention to, it has to be formally negotiated before it can be truly determined.

To say the least would have to go through two or three more meetings, and it wouldn't be clear at this hour and a half.

And to start the acquisition of Pioneer Technology... At least one month later, the actual implementation will start.

And before that...

Norman Osborn felt that it was necessary to verify the efficacy of the fairy bean first, to see if it was really as magical as Stark said.

On the one hand, it was because I was really curious.

On the other hand, it was also because Stark highlighted the scientific research project under Pioneer Technology, which was chaired by Aldrich Killian.

Although he didn't know why he paid special attention to that project, but from the standpoint of Norman Osborn, he would not doubt Stark's vision. So, after Stark mentioned that project emphatically, Norman Osborn also marked it in his mind, identifying it as a key target in the acquisition.

That being the case, whether the efficacy of Xiandou is true or not has become a very critical factor.

The reason is very simple, if the fairy bean is really as magical as Stark described, then it is undoubtedly the best hole card - as long as it is there, it is easy to create a "our research results far exceed the Your 'false image, and then mess up the opponent's position, and then, whether you take advantage of the opponent's panic to poach talents in the research team, or seize the opportunity to lower the purchase price... In short, after a series of chain reactions, the entire acquisition process will inevitably change. It's easier and simpler.

"Check it out for me, is Dr. Connors here today?"

"Dr. Connors...he came an hour ago and is in Lab 3."

"Notice, let him come to my office."

"Yes, sir."

After finishing the order, Norman Osborn put down the phone, opened the folder in front of him, and started working again.

It would certainly not be a trivial matter for Norman Osborn to personally review the documents. A slight sloppiness may result in a loss of tens of millions or hundreds of millions, so even Norman Osborn dared not be careless in the slightest.

I'm so engrossed in it that I don't feel the passage of time. When he heard a knock on the door from outside, Norman Osborn suddenly realized that half an hour had passed.

"Come in." Assented, Norman Osborn accelerated the browsing speed.

"Mr. Osborne, are you looking for me?"

"Dr. Connors, you sit down first, wait for me for five minutes, I will finish signing this document." Pointing to the sofa a few meters in front of the desk, Norman Osborn glanced up at the door, followed by The secretary who had time to leave ordered: "Bring two cups of coffee, mine is stronger."

"Dr. Connors?"

"I'll add an extra cube of sugar~lightnovelpub.net~ Smiling at the little secretary, Connors came to the sofa and sat down naturally.

In addition to the relationship between superiors and subordinates, Connors and Norman Osborn also had a pretty good personal relationship before.

After all, it has been five or six years since he broke his arm and left the army to join the Osborne Group.

In these years, he has made some contributions to the performance of the Osborne Group by virtue of his ability in biochemical scientific research.

With Norman Osborn's extremely shrewd mind and his position as a boss, it is of course necessary to win over an outstanding employee like Connors.

Or it was an innocuous chat, or a small gift with a purpose. Under Norman Osborn's deliberate efforts, the two could meet every few days. After going back and forth, they can be regarded as getting acquainted with each other, and have a little friendship.

In fact, in the original plot, Norman Osborn entrusted Connors with the task of researching the antidote to genetic diseases, in addition to Connors' own hard power in scientific research, because of his good personal relationship. The sense of trust is also one of the reasons that cannot be ignored.

And now...

Under the influence of Shi Xiaolei, the moth, Norman Osborn has already got rid of the trouble of genetic diseases. It is also because of Shi Xiaolei's suggestion that he did not accept the military's entrustment to accept any work related to "human body enhancement". project and conduct research on it.

That is to say, Connors, who works for the Osborne Group, has not yet received financial support at this time, and has carried out large-scale research on "improving self-healing ability", and the "rebirth of severed limbs" that he has been thinking about, It has just changed from a simple idea to self-funded research, and it is only the first step.
