69. Restart the project
Ambrera's private lounge.
Sean took a bottle of Scotch whisky from the dazzling wine cabinet, poured two glasses and placed them on the table, Harry tugged at the tie around his neck and leaned back on the couch without restraint.
The handsome face of this young master Osborne, who inherited the family business at a young age, was full of depression and irritation, and it was obvious that he had visited Ambrera today not because of business cooperation or other official duties, but because he had come to his friends to complain about his distress.
"Why, having an unpleasant quarrel with Mary-Jane again?" Sean handed Harry the glass, teasing as he teased it.
Since Harry took the helm of Osborne Industries, he has not been able to spare time with his girlfriend due to his busy work, and has often had unpleasant encounters with Mary-Jane, always asking him and Gwen to act as an intermediary to talk to him.
Young Master Osborne, who was young and golden, drank the cold wine in one gulp, a burning sensation spread along his throat, and the stimulation of the alcohol made Harry's eyes redden, and some private words hidden in his heart couldn't help but blurt out.
"I've always considered you a friend, Sean, and like Peter, you're one of my true friends!" Harry's voice grew to the top of his voice, "Before I met you, I had only one good brother Peter, we knew each other when we were very young, and his father used to work for Osborne and was my father's right-hand man......"
"When Peter was in school, he was often bullied by bullies because of his introverted personality, and I was not treated well at boarding school at the time, maybe the two of us were always alone, so we became very good friends after that, whether it was comics or snacks, we always shared them together...... I thought this friendship would last forever! ”
Hearing Harry's few words without Peter, Sean probably knew what was going on, and the bloody love triangle between Spider-Man, Green Goblin II and Mary-Jane was really speechless.
If there were other problems, maybe he could still clear Harry's doubts, but in terms of feelings, Sean himself didn't want to get involved too much, Erica was just a simple exchange of interests and desires, and there were very few real emotional factors, as for the innocent and kind Miss Stacey, he was very restrained and maintained an ambiguous attitude, and did not easily accept the beautiful feelings of the other party.
At the end of the day, Sean Siperth, this upright and sunny young man, a humble and gentle genius scientist, is a layer of disguise that he floats on the surface.
Putting aside these false appearances, the cold and deep dark aura he exuded was enough to make people feel shocked and frightened. Like the shadows under the sun, people don't notice most of the time, and the dazzling sun also casts dark shadows.
"Inexperienced first love is fascinating, but love that stands the test is priceless." Sean said a proverb and he patted Harry on the shoulder, "You should let Mary-Jane choose for herself, between you and Peter...... And now is not the time to indulge in your children's affairs, especially for you. ”
"Harry, you are at the helm of the great ship Osborne, managing a vast business empire, and you are no longer a child under the wings of your father. If you can stabilize the crumbling Osborne industry and get Watsonton to retract his fangs, then you can be heartbroken and grieving for your lost love - but now you don't have the right to do so! ”
There was a hint of sternness in Sean's gentle voice, and he handed Harry another glass of wine, and continued: "Feelings are not a necessity of human life, Harry, a failed relationship can make a man grow quickly, stop bothering about the entanglement between Mary-Jane and Peter, your eyes should not stay at this level. ”
"I get you right, Sean, but I can't solve any of them, whether it's Watsonton's eyeing or Mary-Jane and Peter's complicated relationship......"
Harry looked up at the ceiling, he actually admired Sean in his heart, the other party is not like he was born with everything, this friend from a no-name boy in New York to a genius today, rarely relied on outside help, just like his father who started from scratch and founded Osborne Industries, completely relying on personal efforts and talent, he has achieved an enviable status and wealth.
"The question of personal feelings needs to be figured out by yourself, but I have some ideas on how to settle Watsonton."
Sean shook his wine glass, the ice cube and the wall of the glass collided with a crisp sound, he looked at the drunken Harry, and said softly: "Didn't you say before, General Thaddeus Ross, is very interested in Osborne's human enhancement program, and even has plans to re-replicate the super soldier serum of the last century." ”
"It's just an interest, the human enhancement potion is a failed project, it has indelible side effects, it will turn people into beasts, full of aggression and the desire to kill, and the military will not accept such a defective product."
Harry leaned back on the couch, the cumbersome business and emotional complexities of the company had exhausted the young master Osborne, who had tried to be like his father, majestic and convincing, manipulating the financial situation between his hands.
But as soon as he pulled the precarious Osborne industry back from the edge of the cliff, he was coveted by Watsonton, a predator, and the emotional blow made the young young Master Osborne disheartened.
"Ambrera was willing to take on this failed project, the military devoted itself to the study of the Super Soldier and never gave up for a century, the appearance of Captain America hastened the end of the Second World War, and he alone almost changed the war! That's why those generals are so crazy about super soldiers, they want a super army that is invincible! ”
Sean pressed Harry's shoulder, his deep eyes shining with an astonishing light, like a blazing fire, "Osborne has given Ambrera all the information about the Human Enhancement Program, maybe I can complete this failed project, so that we have a bargaining chip with General Ross, and Watsendon will not have anything to fear." ”
"But ......" Harry's head was dizzy due to the excessive alcohol intake, and he was a little hesitant about his friend's plan, "Osborne almost went bankrupt because of this project, and even though my father invested a lot of money and manpower, he still only made defective products, and it failed to give birth to another Captain America, but led to the emergence of the Green Goblin...... We shouldn't restart this project. ”
"Everything has two sides, like the Human Augmentation Program, which can create a terrible criminal like the Green Goblin or a war hero like Captain America. As a monopoly giant in the pharmaceutical industry, if Osborne wants to promote ALZ-112 to the market, it is a powerful opponent that cannot be avoided, unless you are willing to give up most of your interests, succumb to Watsonton's will, and add Osborne to its vast territory! ”
"There can only be one predator at the top of the food chain per industry, and you want to fall to your knees at Watsonton's feet?" Sean stared at Harry tightly, his sword-like eyes making the young president dodge a little.
At this time, Sean completely lost his sunny and cheerful gentle temperament on weekdays, but instead revealed a deep and cold dark atmosphere, which made people feel afraid.
"Of course not, Osborne has never been subservient!" The strange feeling was fleeting, and looking at the mocking smile on the corner of Sean's mouth, Harry was aroused and said in a firm tone.
Sean received an answer and nodded in satisfaction: "Then let's take Watsendon off the throne of the industry giants!" ”
