Chapter Forty-Eight: The End and the Dark Tide [Part II]
The Osborne industrial events are finally coming to an end.
Osborne Industries is still standing despite the boiling of public discontent, but it is an irrefutable fact that it has been hit hard. To put it mildly, the current Osborne industry is an Osborne industry that has been dismembered by major enterprises and can only survive.
The core technology that has been accumulated by decades and generations of researchers has been forced to flow out of their hands at least half of it this time!
The major technology giants have eaten a lot of money, and naturally they will no longer pursue Osborne Industries, and even secretly help Osborne Industries re-stabilize its stock price according to the terms of the transaction, solve the troubles such as bank loans and government department investigations that have been rumored before.
Without the support of the financiers and the signals of many giants, the media and newspapers began to die down, and the negative news about Osborne Industry diminished day by day after reaching its peak, and consciously changed to another topic to distract the public.
Although the turmoil was huge, without the country's fierce pursuit of the front-line media and newspapers, as well as the massive amount of money that relied on the technology to get it, Osborne's industrial situation finally did not change any worse. After the banks stopped urging loans and government investigations became routine, all the shareholders who remained at Osborne Industries breathed a sigh of relief.
The storm has passed.
The big ship of Osborne Industries did not sink.
This is a commendable joy. But all the shareholders, especially McCann and Martha, who hold a large number of shares in their hands and do not want to discard Osborne Industries, still have a terrible knife wound dripping with blood in their hearts.
They know very well that after this turmoil, Osborne Industries needs to do their best to keep competing with the giants who were persecuted before and then generously appeased them, that is, to maintain the market share that is still declining and not retreat.
Osborne's exhibition will also be dragged down for 10 years, 20 years, or even 30 years!
Ten years, twenty years, Chinese New Year's Eve?
How many decades does Osborne Industries have?
Perhaps with the connections and know-how he has accumulated over time, Osborne will be able to shorten that time and catch up.
But whether it is McCann or Martha, these remnant shareholders know very well in their hearts that if they want Osborne Industries to stand at the top again, I am afraid that they will not be able to see it in their lifetime.
For the top of the pyramid of this world.
If you fall down, it is far more difficult to climb up again than it is when you have nothing!
In the future, Osborne Industries may no longer be able to compete with companies such as Storm or Stark.
Unless they choose a new path, there is no competition to start over.
Otherwise, whether it is energy, biogene technology, or others, there is no opportunity like this big turmoil, and Osborne Industries will always be suppressed by the giants above in these fields.
As for the grade serum item?
Even if McCann wanted to hold on, they had to give it up. Because there is no point in persevering. In today's rumors, the public has a deep hatred for inhumane human experiments, and it is also a major factor in the foundation of the behemoth of Osborne industry.
Putting aside the Arkham Asylum incident, the transgenic agent atomization bomb that Curtis Connors exploded on the top floor of Osborne Industries was the weight that finally broke down Osborne Industries! To this day, there are still groups of innocent lizardmen who have been infected, and photos of them in green skin appear in the media and newspapers from time to time.
Not to mention that from some sources, McCann, they also learned that Storm Enterprises has a new type of biological and chemical weapon in its hands, especially if it does not involve human experiments! Those covert military organizations are interested in this. Even if it doesn't end, it's not as important to this country and those secret military organizations as it used to be.
"It's finally over."
McCann's office, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the towering Storm Enterprises opposite, McCann said in a bitter tone. He didn't know whether he should rejoice in keeping Osborne or regret it.
"Too bad!" Martha followed behind him irritably and frustratedly.
"Those who take advantage of the fire to rob deserve hell!" Martha cursed viciously. This time Osborne Industries was so badly damaged that it had no hope for the future.
"Forgive me, I can't help it." McCann can't even give birth to angry love at the moment, or he has become numb to anger during this time.
"I know, those damn Wall Streeters! We should have kicked them out of Osborne Industries a long time ago! How dare they force us to dismember Osborne Industries and put a piece of technology up to public auction to make up for their losses in the stock market, a bunch of unreliable bastards! ”
Martha was furious: "If it weren't for them, we would have been able to drag on more time, pay a lot less, and leave more opportunities for the future of Osborne Industries!" They even played infighting on the board at a critical moment! Damn it! ”
"Those people on Wall Street are profit-seekers, it's my fault! I relaxed too much with those people and capital on Wall Street in order to target Norman Osborne. McCann remorseful self-blame.
In the wake of the turmoil, he became wary of Wall Street shareholders on Osborne's board, but it was business as usual. Those Wall Street shareholders complained, angry, blamed, but supported Osborne Industries as always. Who would have thought that they would stab a knife in the most critical moment.
If it weren't for the fact that they were in harmony with the giants, Osborne Industries, and even McCann, their stalwart shareholders, would not have gotten into this situation.
As for whether these parties had contacted and colluded in advance, and what agreement they had made, McCann didn't want to think about it anymore. More than half of his ambitions have been wiped out by the collapse of Osborne's industry.
"What about Curtis Connors? It's all because of him! Martha said hatefully, her eyes like knives. The words are full of anger and hatred.
"It was so easy for those people to get Curtis to change his tune, and to point out the judge and lawyer, so that he was saddled with all the responsibility for the transgenic drug atomization infection, and Osborne Industries was able to get out of this evil ** case, his testimony is indispensable, and we can't touch him on the cusp." McCann was reassured.
Martha was silent, and she could hear McCann's unfinished meaning. You can't retaliate on the cusp of the storm, but after the limelight has passed, you naturally don't have to worry about it. She and McCann stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the Storm Enterprise across from her in silence.
……
In the shareholder conference room of Storm Enterprises, Meng Ao turned around in his chair, looked at the two rows of shareholders on the left and right, and said softly: "Osborne is the past, and the future belongs to us." ”
The fall of an old giant often means the rise of a new one.
