Chapter 50: A Chance Encounter with Norman Osborne
A high-end club in Manhattan has been chartered by Stark Industries, and handsome men and women have come to the scene in various cars, and of course, some invited reporters and others have also taken up positions near the gate of the club, and when those really big people come to the club, they will go to interview as soon as possible.
Although some of them were allowed to enter the clubhouse, they were not allowed to bring cameras or video cameras into the clubhouse, only the more famous journalists themselves were allowed to enter, and only the text version of the news would appear in the newspaper.
Compared to those successful people who are accompanied by sports cars and beautiful women, Stanley seems a little ordinary, he just took a taxi to the neighborhood, and then walked in, fortunately, Pepperpotts had already sent the invitation to Stanley a few days ago, so there was no obstacle to entering.
This made Stanley very frustrated, he had expected that there would be the legendary dog looking down on people, but it didn't happen at all, because the invitation was sent early in the morning, and because such a convention would not allow such people to greet guests.
Stanley walked into the clubhouse in a handmade black suit, the reason why he chose black was because it would make Stanley look a little more mature, after all, his age has become an invisible obstacle, which makes Stanley very annoyed, but unfortunately age does not change at all.
Stanley came about ten minutes earlier than the specified time, so except for some people who also came early, the rest of the people did not arrive at all, especially a few sensibles of Stark Industries, and now Stanley who is present can only know some people who have seen one time in Stark Industries, well, of course, this is Stanley's one-sided glance, as for who the other party is, he doesn't know.
The banquet site is in the hall of the clubhouse, in addition to arranging some chairs and snacks such as snacks and fruits around it, a temporary platform has been set up in the center of the hall, and it seems that the new product will be released in time.
Stanley looked at the people around him, found that he didn't know him, shrugged his shoulders and sat down, before the rest of the people arrived, he ate this snack casually, although he had eaten before he came, but these desserts were still good, and Stanley accidentally ate some more.
"Delicious, isn't it?" A voice interrupted Stanley's enjoyment of the meal, and Stanley turned his head to see a middle-aged man with gray hair, probably in his fifties, biting a pipe and looking at him with a smile.
"Oh, sorry didn't see you coming." Stanley set aside the snack in his hand and smiled.
"Hehe, it's okay, I saw that you were eating very happily and came over to talk, and the rest of the people were a little absent-minded for a while." The middle-aged man looked into the distance with a smile, and Stanley also looked at it together, and he really looked like he was on his mind, and he didn't notice the food in front of him at all.
"Maybe it's because I don't have any requests for anyone who will show up here. I'm here only because I've been invited, and I just want to talk to like-minded people. Stanley said unconcernedly.
"I see, because I have no desires and no desires, so I can be relaxed." The middle-aged man nodded slightly, as if in approval of Stanley's idea.
"By the way, may I ask who you are?" Stanley became interested in the old man's identity.
"I, hehe, just like I'm a desireless person, I know that most of the people who come here are doing research, in order to get investment from Stark Industries, so what about you? What is your research project? The middle-aged man didn't answer Stanley's question, but asked rhetorically.
"I've developed a stiffened suit that combines ancient Chinese medicine with modern technology, and of course, now I'm just making stiff shoes." Stanley didn't hide it, because there was no need to hide it, there was no impermeable wall in this world, and the cooperation between him and Tony Stark could be found out with a little checking, after all, the contract had been signed.
Hearing Stanley's words, the middle-aged man seemed to be interested, and chatted with Stanley for a while, at this time Stanley also found that the other party was actually familiar with techniques such as human body enhancement, so he had been chatting for a long time unconsciously.
I don't know when it started, but the surroundings began to be lively, and the last person went on stage to try the audition, which woke up the two people who were chatting.
"I didn't expect to talk to you for so long, your research is very powerful, if no one invests, maybe you can come to my company." The middle-aged man found out that today's banquet had begun, so he stopped talking, stood up, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Stanley.
Stanley looked at the business card in his hand, and the words Norman Osborne of Osborne Enterprise were written on it, obviously the middle-aged man who had just chatted with him was actually the legendary Norman Osborne, and Stanley was also secretly surprised.
"Thank you for your favor, Mr. Osborne, but I've already worked with Mr. Tony Stark." Stanley handed his business card to Norman Osborne, and then said apologetically.
Stanley's business card was given to him by Emily, and now some of the things in the laboratory have been taken over by Emily, Stanley has already asked Emily and Pepperpotts to meet a few days ago, and Emily is in charge of some things in the laboratory.
"S.T.A.R Labs? It seems that your ambition is not small, and it seems that we still have a chance to cooperate. Norman Osborne was also slightly surprised to hear the news of Stanley's and Tony Stark's collaboration, but smiled slightly when he saw Stanley's business card.
"If you have ambition, it's not that you don't have it, but it's not that big, I just like research, but I sincerely hope that we can have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."
Stanley looked at Norman Osborne, he didn't know if Norman Osborn in this world would be the one in the Spider-Man trilogy, and he didn't know if he would become a Green Goblin, but at least the other party was not yet, so Stanley didn't show any hostility.
After that, Norman Osborne left alone, and the people on the stage were already Obadiastan, whom Stanley had seen once, because it was already the time of the banquet and Tony Stark had not yet arrived, so he walked on the stage as before.
Perhaps because of this, or maybe Tony Stark was reluctant to manage the company in addition to R&D, so Obadiastein came to the fore again and again, so there was a strong desire to replace Tony Stark.
Stanley looked at Obadiastan who was talking eloquently on stage, but he was thinking about the future, it seemed that there was only a year before the real plot began, if he couldn't become stronger by then, then he could only become an audience again to watch those familiar and unfamiliar plots, but just like this, would Stanley be willing? Of course not, he is not reconciled, he wants to be stronger, he wants to be qualified to participate!
