Chapter 8 The Need for Transfusion
In the end, Mariko didn't get the answer she was expecting. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info Harry's words made her a little disappointed. "Mariko-sama, I need to think more about this. Harry said this to Mariko with a slight apology.
After that, he left with Li Kit and Peter. Only Mariko, who seemed a little unhappy because the plan didn't work out, was left. However, Mariko was not discouraged by this, because there were very few cases in business talks that could be discussed at one time.
Offers and counter-offers, proposing chips and thinking about value, these business games have always taken time to consider. A good businessman will definitely have a rhythm when he negotiates business with people.
If you are introduced to an unfamiliar rhythm, then it is very likely that you are at the mercy of others. What Mariko is doing here is, at its core, trying to bring Harry into her own rhythm.
Because for this young man who is not yet twenty, it is impossible to say that Mariko does not have a little contempt in his heart. Being young sometimes means impulsive, and young people are more eager to succeed.
Like Tony Stark, who was the boss of Stark Industries in his early twenties, he has always been synonymous with high profile. And he never hides his desire to succeed.
It's hard not to compare Harry Osborne today to Tony Stark. A lot of people think that Harry Os would have been a copy of Tony Stark.
However, Harry's personality is at odds with Tony Stark, and he is not destined to be another Tony.
However, it is precisely because of her youth that Mariko chose to work with Harry Osborne. If the current ruler of the Osborne group is still Norman, then Mariko will definitely not show this child.
For no matter how kind Norman was to Harry, all who worked with him in business understood that he was a terrible beast. He is a capitalist who really eats people and does not spit out bones.
And what Mariko asks for is not just simple cooperation. Her grandfather is determined to be Taichi Lang, the madman who is afraid of old age and longs for immortality, and once delusionally wanted to take away Wolverine's self-healing factor.
However, this plan ultimately failed, and Shishida Ichiro died in the end. And his granddaughter, Mariko Shida, obtained the code to open the key to the self-healing factor in another way.
Immortality is a dream that almost any older person in a position of high will pray for. They are accustomed to the pleasures of power and status. They also expect this pleasure to last for a long time.
The most addictive thing in the world is not all kinds of psychedelic drugs, but the thrill of holding on to power!
Just as Li Jie and the others left the Sakura Cooking Pavilion, Mariko's subordinates, who had been waiting in the back kitchen and other rooms of the Cooking Pavilion, also walked into this room.
"Take him back. Mariko pointed to the boy who had just severed his finger and said, without a hint of warmth in her tone.
Two strong men in black suits bowed respectfully to Mariko, and pulled the cower boy away directly.
"Shinichi, you go and inform Chairman Yasuda and ask him to lobby Mr. Harry. Mariko instructed her personal secretary, a relatively handsome-looking man.
"Yes, Miss. The secretary named Shinichi replied immediately. But after saying that, he looked a little hesitant and asked. "What if the Osborne Group doesn't want to work with us?"
"Mr. Harry doesn't seem very enthusiastic about the project. Shinichi's words made Mariko frown slightly.
Yes, Harry was somewhat poised and did not look like a young man who had just turned eighteen. He wasn't that much concerned about the rush to prove himself. As long as the mentality is impatient, there will be flaws, and if there are flaws, there will be opportunities for Maruko to use his means.
Because Mariko doesn't know that Li Jie, who is next to Harry, has always been an adult. Especially after the past year of training, various things have made Li Jie more and more aware of the sinister nature of people's hearts.
Li Jie has been advising Harry to keep a low profile when he first started his internship at the company. Out of trust in Li Jie, Harry also kept a low profile. In this subtle way, Harry's personality has also partially changed, and he has lost the impetuousness he had when he first joined the group.
Mariko's brows furrowed. "In the field of biological research, there is no company or country in the world that can compete with the Osborne Group. That's why I had to work with them. Only they can tap into the potential and wealth of Daken. ”
Mariko's Daiken was referring to the boy who had been taken away. "But you're right, you need to see both sides of everything. There are successes and failures. Harry Osborne: I thought he was a great businessman, but he didn't look that great. Help me contact the U.S. side, we need an alternative plan. So many years of planning can't be so wasted. ”
After Li Jie and the others left the restaurant, they didn't have much intention to visit Kyoto. The three of them looked around the neighborhood with a bad face, and then returned to the hotel in Osaka early.
Standing in the presidential suite of the Osaka City Hotel, you can see the lights of the city through the large floor-to-ceiling glass.
Osaka's night lights are not as good as Manhattan and Times Square in New York, or as well as Tokyo, the capital of the East. But there is a different scenery, as a seaport city, the cargo ships moored on the docks and the busy freight workers on the docks show the firepower of this old industrial city.
Li Jie used the kitchenware in the suite to cook a few dishes, and the three friends sat near the window, watching the night view and eating dinner.
"What do you think of today's events. Peter Parker was the first to speak. "That kid, we know. That kid must have something to do with Logan. ”
"We can't be sure of that. Harry said uncertainly. "Maybe, maybe not. ”
"This amazing resilience is not an ordinary skill. It's not something that can be found by walking to the boxing training gym and telling the coach that a trained boxer. Peter Parker said as he forked a prawn.
"Dr. Hank has said that the more powerful the mutants, the rarer they are. And it is even rarer to have such a powerful self-healing ability like Logan. If there is no connection between the two, I will not believe anything. Peter said with some swearing.
"Alright Peter. We don't even know if he's a mutant or not. Harry said helplessly.
"There's a real good chance he's Logan's child. I just don't know if Logan realizes that he has children. Li Jie kept combing the plot in "Wolverine 2" in his mind, and felt more and more that this child was Wolverine's son, although Wolverine was not described as having a child in the movie.
But logically speaking, this guess should be very accurate.
"Do we need to help Logan get his kid out? That Mariko is a madman. She actually let a child self-harm. Peter said there was some indignation.
"Well, I don't think we're going to be able to meddle in that. Li Jie said with some embarrassment.
"Why?" asked Peter and Harry, both curiously.
"Because don't you think that child looks a little like Mariko? Maybe Mariko is his mother. Li Jie thinks it's entirely possible.
"Well, that's what I said. It's a bit like that, indeed. Harry recalled the appearance between the boy and Mariko, and felt that there was indeed a considerable resemblance between the two.
"If that boy is Logan's son, but Mariko is Logan's wife......" Li Jie shrugged, indicating that the problem was not easy to solve.
"So our best way is to pass on this news to Logan through channels, and let Rogan decide how to solve this family matter. ”
Harry and Peter looked at each other and thought it was the safest thing to do.
"But then again, Harry. Do you think there is something wrong with the management of the Toyo side?" Li Jie turned the subject back to the problem Harry was facing.
"There are a lot of problems, procrastination, prevarication. All kinds of kicking balls. Harry was a little frustrated.
"There could be a more serious Harry. Li Jie said to Harry very seriously. "You lack prestige here, they seem to be respectful to you, but they despise you in their bones. Maybe it's time for a major overhaul here. ”
