Chapter 5 I work hard to change the world (6,000 words, ask for a monthly pass to recommend subscription)

Although everyone said that they were unacceptable to the cartoons that Mindy read, everyone still felt that Mindy's proposal made sense. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, how to obtain this copyright has become a problem, and you must not run to the court with a mask to apply for it yourself, and you have to come up with various identification documents or something.

However, Li Jie was very interested in this matter, because he found out. If he goes out as a nightcrawler, a comic, or even a movie, even if he doesn't personally participate.

He's still able to gain prestige, which makes a lot of money.

Because many of the actions he participated in were actually carried out in secret, such as the incident of this Hand Peace Meeting, as well as the incident of the last Blood Farm.

Obviously, a lot of effort has been made and a lot of trouble has been solved, but the popularity is still very low.

Mindy's suggestion is a way forward, and the others say they have little interest in getting involved in this kind of thing, and the star members of the team are now talking about Nightcrawler and Spider-Man.

The other three old men were too low-key, and they didn't wear particularly cool tights or anything, they were more used to giving a fatal blow like a viper in the dark.

While there is a great need for people like them who are willing to do the dirty work, it's clear that it's hard to make them stars.

A slightly absurd idea was born in Li Jie's mind.

It's almost the end of November, and it's going to be the winter break at Metropolitan High School in a while, and now it's cold in New York, and pedestrians on the road are starting to wrap themselves in thick winter clothes.

"Seriously, I don't think it's a good idea. Peter was wearing a gray trench coat and holding a cup of hot coffee, and his nose was a little red from the cold.

"But I think it's a good idea. Li Jie ignored Peter's words and continued to stride.

"Come to think of it, this can change our team's embarrassing financial situation, we can't always rob the gangs, and haven't you always been against gangsters?"

The two of them are heading in the Osborne Group, and now Harry has officially become the chairman of the Osborne Group.

The road ahead was difficult, but Harry at least had a trusted friend by his side to help him out.

Li Jie has been officially hired as Harry's personal advisor, not full-time, but also has a salary. Since he promised to help Harry, then Li Jie naturally took the time to come to the Osborne Group to listen to Harry's thoughts.

Analyze the problems of various events together for him.

The two stepped into the Osborne Group building together, and the beautiful female receptionist at the front desk stood up and said to Li Jie. "Good morning, Mr. Jason. ”

"Good morning, Susan. Your bow tie today is so beautiful. Li Jie said a greeting. "Please give me a guest card. ”

The guest card was for Peter, and Harry had wanted Peter to be a half-time researcher like Gwen.

However, Peter is now exhausted, and the last semester of high school will be very intense, and even Gwen has thought about whether to quit.

Not to mention Peter Parker, who also takes care of the identity of Spider-Man, he has no time to work here.

However, Peter promised that he would have more free time after going to university, and he was willing to work in the Osborne Group's research laboratory.

After all, in the labs of such large companies, you can learn a lot of things that you can't teach in school.

"I still think it's too embarrassing, do you really want to show it to Harry?" Peter's voice was lowered, and there were a lot of people in the building now.

"It doesn't matter, at most he will laugh at it, but it will be beneficial to our future development, sometimes being a superhero not only requires you to have a righteous heart and superpowers, but more often you have to have a super thick skin. Li Jie patted Peter on the shoulder.

The elevator arrived, and Li Kit and Peter stepped into the elevator to get to Harry's office floor.

"Wait, wait. "A man with a pile of drawings is rushing towards the elevator quickly.

A middle-aged man with black-framed glasses and a big oily hair standing in the elevator didn't pay attention to this person, but pressed the door button again, trying to block the people outside.

Li Jie frowned, and he reached out to block the sensor at the elevator door. "I don't think everyone in our elevator was in such a hurry, sir. ”

Li Jie is a lot taller than a middle-aged man, and being stared at by a strong person like Li Jie makes this middle-aged man dare not say anything.

And he glanced at Li Jie's badge, which belonged to the senior management department, although he didn't know what Li Jie's real position was, but he still didn't want to work against Li Jie.

"Very, I'm sorry, I don't think I heard that. The middle-aged man's defense was very weak, but Li Jie didn't bother to care about him.

"Thank you, thank you for being willing to wait for me. "The guy with a bunch of drawings finally caught up with the elevator, and the drawings he was holding looked like they were all pipelines.

It seems to be a technician in charge of the installation of water and electricity lines in the building.

"You're welcome. Li Jie nodded to him slightly, and he didn't want to say anything after that, because he had other things in mind.

The technician seemed to want to say something, but he saw Li Jie's badge on behalf of his identity, and Li Jie didn't seem to have any desire to continue talking, so he had to shut up and not say anything.

When the elevator went to the chairman's office on the roof, there were only two people in the elevator, Li Kit and Harry.

The huge office on the top of the building, which originally belonged to Norman Osborne, now belongs to Harry. Li Jie greeted Harry's personal secretary, and knew that Harry was now free and went straight into the office.

"Wow, isn't this my personal advisor. Do you remember to help your boss today? Harry looked busy and was looking down at the papers.

There was a hint of resentment in his tone. "You're so nice, you have a lot of time to go out and have fun, I'm so busy now that I don't even have time to date Mary. ”

It looks like the new Mr. Chairman of the Board has not fully adapted to his job.

"Don't say that, my Mr. President. You now have a great deal of power, and one of your signatures can change the lives of millions. Li Jie unceremoniously pulled out a chair and sat down across from Harry.

This kind of slight compliment Peter can't say, Peter has always been in charge of complaining, he can only simply say hello to Harry.

"Well, when you say that, I suddenly feel that my work is meaningful. Harry smiled and accepted the compliment.

"I have one thing I would like to ask for your opinion. After Harry finished reading the document in his hand, he looked at Li Jie seriously and said.

"The Stark Group is now in trouble, and Congress is demanding that they hand over how the steel armor was made. Harry's tone was serious. "Someone is encouraging me to test the Stark Group, what do you think?"

Li Jie glanced at his mouth, not to mention the movies he watched in his previous life, because the current world line is changing, and even the screenwriter's mother is no longer recognized.

Just by talking about what Li Jie knew about Tony Stark, he knew that Tony would not have handed over such a thing.

"Harry, do you know that I have another identity besides being your personal advisor?" asked Li Jie.

"Nightcrawler?" Harry smiled.

"No, not such a superficial character. Li Jie waved his hand. "It's Tony Stark's personal chef. ”

"Hey~ man, I've never heard you say that. Peter and Harry were a little surprised, they knew that Li Kit had been working as a private chef for a wealthy man, but they never knew who.

"Wow, you're going to be the best business spy in the Osborne Group. Harry laughed.

"I know a certain amount about Tony, and I'm sure we all know that reputation is more important to him than his life. Li Jie said.

"Like the last time he was in New York, how much money did he spend to settle that matter. The three of them laughed as they said this.

"There's only one Iron Man, and Tony is a proud man, and there's no way he's going to let anyone else have something like him, especially when it's his favorite toy. Harry and Peter both nodded.

"And seriously, I don't quite understand what the people who are encouraging you to do this are for. In fact, the value of the Steel Warframe is overestimated. ”

"At least the current Iron Warframe is overrated, it still has a lot of weaknesses, I fought with Peter and Tony, and its actual combat performance is not as impactful as its appearance. ”

Peter nodded, signaling that Li Jie was right.

"Actually, the real core of Tony Stark is still in the Ark Reactor, which is the most important thing. ”

"Steel armor or something, there's no need to fight Tony. I think Uncle Norman's original design of the Green Goblin armor is very good. Li Jie thought of the battle that day, and put aside the part that was eroded by demonic power, and Norman's own armor design was also excellent.

It's not as versatile as the Iron Warframe, but it's relatively easy to price and operate. Don't forget that the MK series warframes must be assisted by Jarvis's artificial intelligence system.

Otherwise, just by relying on the reaction nerves of ordinary people, they can't really operate the steel armor at all.

"Maybe Tony will compromise and maybe give the US military some steel armor, but it's not realistic to expect him to make the drawings completely public. In fact, it is useless to make it public, you should know that the elimination rate of technology is very fast. ”

"Maybe Moore's Law for 3C products is also suitable for steel armor. Li Jie remembered the huge family after Iron Man.

"Tony's research on new energy systems is going to be a revolution, it's inevitable, I'm sure someone has mentioned it to you. Li Jie was referring to the biopower generation system that the Osborne Group has been working on.

Osborne uses biopower to provide nearly one-third of the electricity generated in the greater New York area, but the technology for biopower generation is not yet mature and demanding.

Therefore, this technology has not been widely promoted, and the new energy revolution led by Tony will inevitably cause shocks around the world, which is an unstoppable technological leap.

Harry listened to Li Jie's words very seriously, and he was also thinking about the group's next step.

"So I think it's foolish for the person who instigated you to press the Stark Group to hand over the steel armor blueprints, or maybe he had other plans. Li Jie pointed out the core point of this matter.

"If you spend a lot of the group's resources and fail to do something, or even if you succeed, but the benefits are not as great as you imagined, Harry, where do you think you will be?"

"Oh my God, that's too complicated, Jason. "Peter was very intelligent, but his intellect was all about scientific research, and he never delved into the question of intrigues between powers.

Harry unconsciously snapped a ballpoint pen in his hand. "You're right, you're right. If that's the case, I'm afraid the board of directors will hold a new round of chairman elections. ”

Harry stood up and paced, teeth biting his lip slightly.

"Although commercially, the Stark Group and the Osborne Group have always overlapped and competed, but the two have maintained relative sanity, especially since the Stark Group has now withdrawn from the field of weapons manufacturing. Li Jie continued to analyze for Harry.

"There are actually only two areas where Osborne Group and Stark Group overlap and compete the most, one is in the field of new energy, and the other is in the field of military manufacturing. ”

"At the moment, it's fair to say that we can't compete with Tony in the energy space, he's the winner now. It is only a matter of time before the new energy king is crowned. ”

"If Harry wants to maintain the group's competitive edge, then he should still look to the military industry. The withdrawal of the Stark Group has at least given up a large cake of tens of billions of dollars. ”

Lee Kit didn't mention his own affairs so far, but instead gave Harry advice wholeheartedly, knowing that Harry needed the most support at this time.

"Yes, that's what my instigators say. He thought that by forcing Tony to make the drawings public, we could use the military's connections to get a large order. There was a hint of annoyance in Harry's tone.

"Damn Setor! what a complete old bastard, I thought he was a good guy. It looked like the man Harry was cursing at the same person who had encouraged him to do it.

As a large company, the internal shareholders are not necessarily united, and even those you consider a relative can be betrayed, like Tony Stark and Obeidia.

"So, Harry. It's a waste of time for you to spend time and experience fighting for this kind of thing. Li Jie shook his head.

"If Tony himself is going to compromise with the military and then make the drawings public, then with the ability of the Osborne Group, you can definitely get the order, so you don't have to rush at all, someone is deliberately setting you up. ”

Peter asked, a little blindsided. "It's too complicated, can any of you explain it to me?"

Harry took a deep breath and sat down. "To put it simply, an old bastard set me up to force Tony to hand over the blueprints for the Iron Warframe. ”

"This would cost our group a lot of contacts and financial resources, and it would not necessarily be successful. And if I made that decision, and failed. There is a good chance that I will be convened by the board of directors and removed from my position. ”

"And Tony Stark is going to compromise with the military sooner or later, but he will definitely have reservations, and it will take a long time. ”

"They were taking advantage of my anxiety to achieve something within the group. ”

"And then someone ousted me from power and got Tony's compromise order for military production, and he would take my position as a hero of the rescue group. I'm afraid I'll have to work at Jason's restaurant. ”

"Hey, I don't think you should be that miserable. Peter understood now, so he smiled. "It's a good idea to work at Jason's Restaurant, you can try chopping onions and see how many tears you can shed. ”

"So Jason, what good advice do you have. Harry smiled at Peter and asked Li Jie.

And so on. Li Jie smiled. "The military couldn't have looked at anything else without Tony's explicit rejection. ”

"But when the military is really rejected, they will definitely ask for a replacement. The Green Goblin armor may not be as good as the steel armor, but I think the price is also much cheaper, which is completely in line with the appetite of the military. ”

"Rather than coveting Tony's steel armor, improve the current Green Goblin armor, Harry, you even meet Tony informally, especially with Miss Pepp, the new president of Stark Group. ”

"You can assure them that you will support their decision, or even withdraw from the fight for the new energy market, which we can't win anyway, in exchange for Tony's support for the Osborne Group before the military. ”

"It's mutually beneficial, and even Osborne and Stark can form a tacit understanding to some extent. "Li Kit's words are very subtle, and he doesn't say alliance or even cooperation.

Because once a company of this level is united, it is something that no government wants to see.

"I know, I know. Asking you to be my advisor is the wisest choice of my life. Harry laughed out loud, looking much better

"Need a drink, guys. Harry asked, walking over to the bar.

"Raspberry juice thank you. Li Jie just said so much, his mouth was dry.

Peter held up the hot coffee in his hand, signaling that he didn't need it.

"Harry, I'm coming to you today to help you solve your problem, but there's another thing. Li Jie said as he took a sip of the juice Harry handed over.

Peter suddenly looked embarrassed, as if he wanted to hide himself. He curled up in his chair a little, afraid to look at what happened next.

Li Jie didn't pay attention to him, but walked directly to Harry's side and asked if he could use the computer, and after getting approval, Li Jie opened the website that Mindy had browsed earlier.

He pulled out the comics about Nightkin and Spider-Man and showed them to Harry.

Harry didn't feel anything at first, but the more he looked at him, the more wrong he became, and finally after reading a comic, he looked at Li Jie and Peter with strange eyes.

"Listen, man, I'm actually in favor of the gay bill or something, if you need any help I can support you, and now that the rainbow bill is being discussed in parliament, I can use the power of the Osborne group to push this bill forward. Although Harry said this, the distance between him and Li Jie unconsciously widened a little.

Peter had a dying expression, he had known that the plan was bad, and now he especially wanted to find a place to hide, as Li Jie said, Spider-Man lacked a thick enough face on the way to becoming a superhero.

"No~No~ No, you misunderstood. Li Jie shook his head and tried to put his hand on Harry's shoulder, but he dodged him without a trace.

"I said, I'm not gay. Li Jie said very seriously.

"Really?" Harry's expression was clearly not convinced. "To be honest, brother, I don't discriminate against this, I can pay to support you to go abroad and get married. ”

Peter was already under the table, and he roared inwardly, and I knew it was a terrible idea, just terrible!

"Listen to me, Harry. I'm serious about talking about a business plan. Li Jie's tone was extremely serious.

Harry raised an eyebrow, "What a plan." ”

Li Jie took out the plan he had prepared and handed it to Harry. "About the plan to form a superhero industrial company. ”

"This gives our team a long-term source of finance. ”

"As I said, I can fully support your team and money is not an issue. Harry didn't open the plan right away.

"It's not like Harry, you can't do these things with the money of the Osborne Group, the superhero team is a bottomless pit where you can only see the input but not the output. Li Jie explained.

"We needed a way to break even, so that the whole team could run efficiently for a long time. ”

"And if, I mean if. One day a certain team member has an accident, we can take out a sum of money as a pension, maybe not a lot, but this is a hero who has contributed to society, a due reward. Li Jie's tone was very serious.

"Even we can reward the brave people, the ordinary heroes, maybe they don't have superpowers, but they are still great in life. ”

"Sister Marien, for example, was willing to break her family and adopt orphans. For example, I know of a bakery owner who goes to the slums every week to distribute food, and their good deeds have been going on for decades. ”

"They are all heroes, and their good deeds set them apart. ”

"These kind people should be rewarded, and the world has become indifferent because there is no reward for doing good, and it is because of indifference that it has become cruel. ”

"It is because of cruelty that all the tragedies in our world have been caused. Peter and Harry were listening intently to Li Jie's speech now.

"What we do shouldn't be limited to one place, but more action, maybe I'm a bit arrogant when I say that, but people need examples. ”

"We were born ordinary, and now we have the strength to be able to contribute a little bit to the world, maybe just a small step, but it's not how much we can change, it's what we do. ”

"We are working to change this cold and cruel world. As Jet's words fell, Harry and Peter's eyes flashed with an indescribable conviction.
