Chapter 44: They Deserve It
Harry immediately rushed to the company, and although Norman's position had changed, his prestige was still there, and there were still some people around him - in fact, most of the middle level were loyal supporters of Norman, and these people looked down on those who relied on manoeuvres and capital to get into the position.

With the help of these men, Harry managed to get into the lab before Norman could defeat his assistant and inject the potion.
Being Norman's assistant was not a man who couldn't see his face clearly, and at the moment Harry was on the road, he left the laboratory and stood outside the door with the people who sent Harry in, leaving a quiet space for the excited father and son.
Harry rushed in so recklessly, naturally he couldn't hide it, but the next change caught Norman's enemies by surprise, causing these people to panic and be at a loss.
Norman is missing.
Norman hadn't been seen since that day, and it was the young Harry who had been in charge of affairs in the time limit of the board, and this young man, who had not been in the public eye before, burst out with no less determination and execution than his father, but the style was different, and many of the backhands they arranged were useless.
After Harry officially spoke at the press conference in place of Norman, the Osborne family officially disappeared from the Osborne business, and there was no trace of either Norman Osborne or Harry Osborne, except for a bunch of shares.
After a few days of chaos in the board of directors, it returned to normal, at least on the surface, after all, what needs to be done still has to be done, and Osborne is a behemoth, and the benefits contained in it are unimaginable.
For many years, Norman had been in charge of the most secret research department of the entire Osborne enterprise, and except for a few commissioned projects that he had revealed to work with the military, the other shareholders did not know what Norman had done, which was why they opposed Norman.
These people are businessmen, and they want to know what is valuable in the company in which they have a stake in them, so that they can decide what to do next.
So they didn't hesitate to shut down all the basic research projects that were always significant but unprofitable when they opened Osborne's project catalog, leaving only the conceptual technologies that had been hyped up in the market.
This almost half of Osborne was laid off, and a large number of basic researchers lost their jobs, which made Osborne's internal people disheartened, but the new shareholders did not care, because the saved funds could be used to do other things with higher returns.
Of course, not all projects are under threat, at least Dr. Otto's nuclear energy lab is doing much better than before, and new energy has always been one of the biggest gimmicks of this era, not to mention that the artificial sun project also sounds extraordinarily glamorous.
Dr. Otto's plan is very complete, the theoretical calculations are over, and he is waiting for more supplies, which is why he agreed to sell the neural link technology before.
The new chairman, who didn't understand science, followed the advice of the think tank, and the economists decided that there was nothing wrong with Dr. Otto's data model, so they began to invest more, and Dr. Otto lived up to their expectations, and the experiment progressed quickly.
The rejoicing victors didn't pay attention to where the defeated dogs went, and the dismissed researchers didn't just slump, someone took them in, all.
But the victors didn't have a chance to learn about it, because the Osborne Carnival had begun, and they were going to gather and show the press that they were going to be in a new fashion and that they were confident that they would be able to save the Osborne Enterprise, which had been dragged into the quagmire by the dictator Norman.
Just as they had all gathered at the Osborne Mansion for the feast, Norman made his first appearance after a long absence, in an interview with a television station, and from the outside, he did not seem to have received any blows, but was still in good spirits.
In the show, he reversed his usual image of being handsome and cold, talked about his positioning of Osborne, and criticized the wrong decisions made by the Osborne consuls who had just come to power.
It's a live talk show, and it's clear that Norman's purpose in criticizing the new leadership at the time of the Osborne celebrations is to embarrass these people, and that's what everyone thinks.
It's not bad to talk about companies that change their strategy after they're gone, but they do make a bad impression, but Norman doesn't care anyway.
Also appeared at the same time, Harry's performance was remarkable during the period when Norman disappeared, and it also reminded many people of the time when Norman took over Osborne, and they couldn't help but congratulate Norman on having a successor.
However, the live broadcast did not go according to the rhythm of the TV station, because they received urgent news about the carnival venue, and the Osborne shareholders who attended the banquet had food poisoning and were all rushed to the hospital.
At this moment, the host was stunned and didn't know what to say, Norman and Harry were also very cooperative, dumbfounded and exclaimed, "Oh, buy ga", that expression believed that all the little gold man judges couldn't find fault.
But everyone is yelling viciously, "It's you, it's definitely you!", the difference is that the audience is shouting at the TV, while the host can only scream in his stomach, and the expression on his face is "incredible, what's wrong with this world" - although stiff as a stone, the audience forgave him.
Because there was an even more hateful one sitting there, and he put on a shocked and unbelievable look, but even the cameraman next to him sneered with an expression of "the truth is only one murderer, and you are you".
Since such a thing happened, there was no reason for the host not to ask, but Norman's answer also made the melon-eating crowd nod secretly, this pot is good.
"The new leadership has cut the basic research department, and it can be seen that they will focus more on commercial development, but this is the problem.
The entire basic research department accounts for as much as 60% of Osborne's R&D department, which ensures that all the technologies of Osborne's commercial science and technology development are Osborne's own, which greatly reduces the cost of scientific research, and these basic research is not without commercial value.
The revenue from these basic patents is about one-fifth of Osborne's revenue, but without that, we would have to buy patents from other companies, and Osborne's costs have risen not by percentages, but by fractions.
What's more, as I just said, the basic research department has a very high proportion, which means that the new chairman has laid off more than 70 percent of Osborne's R&D personnel -- the efficiency of basic research is not high, and the demand for personnel is very great -- and this number is enlarged to a specific number of about four or five hundred.
This is the loss of income for four or five hundred families, and the talents of those who are willing to do basic research are not necessarily limited - people with poor brains cannot do research work, and most of them are forced to do such boring work due to the pressure of life and family pressure.
So, I'm surprised and sorry that this happened, and of course, I regret that the person who did it, maybe he was a dismissed researcher, and he shouldn't have gone down this path - maybe it would make people hate me, but I'm going to say it - these people who only see profit deserve it. ”
"Do you think it's a man-made incident?", the moderator keenly captured the hidden meaning in Norman's words.
"Don't you know the extravagant life of these profit-driven people, they are different from researchers like me, each of them has a dedicated team of chefs, even if it's a burger, it has to be the top ingredients carefully made by celebrity chefs, and you want them to get food poisoning?
Norman hacked a wave of opponents, the hatred of the rich is common all over the world, and all people hate luxury, at least they have to shout so.
