Chapter 268: The so-called combination of vertical and horizontal (the third update of the guarantee)
"Do you know who Worthington Pharmaceuticals invited to their press conference this time?"
"Of course, the governor, the state legislators, and all the big names, even the reporters from the Washington Daily were among them."
"You're just coming to the door?"
"Or else?"
After waiting for the Smurfs to leave with his assistant, Mark and John Sr. walked slowly towards the San Francisco office building.
After walking into the elevator.
Old John frowned and said, "You know, Worthington has a lot to do with the governor other than that Underwood. β
Mark sneered!
The governor, to put it bluntly, is a temporary worker.
Mark is a federal agent, a real civil servant, and even if the government shuts down and everyone else takes unpaid leave, the FBI runs automatically.
Unless there is a change of dynasty!
As long as the government reopens, the salary owed to the FBI will be automatically paid......
Besides.
It's not the governor of New York, and Mark's base is not in California anyway, even if the governor of California breaks the law, Mark dares to go directly to the door to arrest him.
So.
Mark didn't hear old John's counsel.
Old John saw that Mark did not listen to his advice, so he simply did not bother to talk about it anymore.
Old John's office!
Mark directly pulled out a bottle of bourbon wine that had been stored for a long time in Old John's wine cabinet, and said to Debbie, who was about to go to the roof to meet Adam, "Osborne's people are here, and they are brought here directly." β
Debbie nodded, and then walked straight out with Jack.
Old John was even more stunned when he heard this: "Osborne Industries? What are you thinking, Mark? β
Mark bent down and took out two glasses, poured a glass of wine for Old John, handed it over, and said mysteriously, "Guess ......"
Again, that's the same sentence.
Mark does not say anything about the alleged antidote.
From start to finish!
There was only one guy that Mark wanted to target, the dwarf dwarf who was less than a meter tall......
Striking at Worthington, does not signify Mark's clear banner of support for mutants.
For the sake of his own political future, even the attorney general, whose wife is a mutant, would not dare to say so.
So......
Mark had already figured out what to do, and after calling Pepper, he made another phone call.
That is, Harry, who sees himself as an idol.
Through Harry, Mark directly connected with Norman Osborne, who is not in good health now.
After a conference call.
Norman Osborne said he was happy to take over the business of the antidote......
Although his health is getting worse day by day, Norman still wants Harry to inherit a company that has been regained in his own hands.
Especially after Dr. Lizard's rhype in New York, Osborne's stock has been in a sluggish state until now, and it has not improved for a long time.
But!
If he can take over the business of [Antidote], Osborne believes that in this current moment of hatred of mutants, once it is announced, Osborne's stock will be brilliant again.
Norman, on the other hand, has a relationship with the current governor of California, dating back to his college days......
This relationship is much harder than the relationship between Worthington and the governor of California.
It's-
It is the real harmony and vertical and horizontal.
This move is enough to make all the people who care about this incident in the outside world understand one thing.
Mark's goal has never changed.
There's just one person.
BolΓvar Teslac!
Really.
When he heard Mark tell his plan with a smile, it directly made the look on Old John's face very exciting, as if he had opened a dye shop.
Good half a day.
Old John looked down at the wine in his hand, smiled abruptly, shook his head, and said, "Everyone says that Director Louis of the New York branch is a reckless man...... You've lied us all, Mark! β
Mark laughed, raised his glass and said, "Old John, isn't my performance reckless later?" I've always been honest. β
"It's weird that I believe you." Old John glanced at Mark speechlessly, took a sip of the bourbon in his hand, and thought so in his heart.
Half an hour later.
Debbie led a tall, young, young woman in her twenties and knocked on the door.
"Boss, this is the secretary sent by Osborne." Debbie said to Mark, who was sitting on the couch and chatting with Old John.
Mark nodded and stood up.
The woman also smiled and stretched out her right hand to Mark to introduce herself: "Director Luis, I am Felicia Hardy, the secretary of Mr. Harry Osborne. β
"Welcome, Lady Hardy!" Mark shook Felicia's hand, then let go and said with a smile, "Harry's secretary, I thought it was Mr. Norman Osborne's secretary who would come." β
Felicia smiled and said, "Mr. Harry Osborne started learning to handle the company's business in his spare time at the beginning of this year, but you are right, I was indeed Norman Osborne's secretary before. β
Mark invited Felicia to sit down and pretended to be exaggerated, "Wow, it seems that Miss Hardy has won the trust of two generations of Mr. Osborne. β
Felicia smiled and said, "When I was a child in an orphanage, it was Mr. Norman Osborne who adopted me. β
Mark blinked and apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't know about this." β
"It's fine." Felicia smiled at Mark and said, "Regarding the business that Director Louis and Mr. Osborne have discussed, Mr. Osborne has informed me, and I will go to meet with the current Governor of California in the name of Mr. Osborne." β
"That's great." Mark smiled slightly.
After a while.
Mark glanced at the time on his wrist, looked directly at Old John with a smile and said, "How is it, are you interested in participating in this feast?" I remember your son-in-law seems to be ......"
Before Mark finished speaking, Old John had already begun to wave his hand and said: "Excuse me, I don't have any ideas for the limelight this time, hurry up and finish the work and fly back to your New York." β
Mark shrugged his shoulders and said: "There have been times when cross-regional cases have been handled, and you always said that I like to eat alone, and now I give you the opportunity to share the food, you are good, you appreciate it." β
Old John is already in the stage of being unable to complain.
Maggi!
Anyone can participate in this feast, but he can't participate in it.
Old John had his own considerations!
If Mark can kill Worthington Pharmaceutical with a stick, then it is better to say that he can get a piece of the pie.
But......
What if not?
With Old John's understanding of Mark, maybe Worthington's people will secretly make a deal with Mark.
Until that time.
Old John, who participated in the operation, sat on wax.
Mark can pat his ass and walk away.
He can't!
Frankly.
John Sr. was going to sit in the California FBI until he retired......
