Chapter 295 Desperate Transformation, Greedy
Seeing his son lost in thought, old Osborn could not help frowning. He wants his son to be more like him, decisive and bold. But the thing is, Harry is more like his deceased mother. A somewhat indecisive person.
Such a character is not suitable for running a company. He knew it well, but he had no more options. He has only one son, Harry. So, he could only hope that Harry would come to his senses and learn what he should know.
Of course, he didn't expect Harry to learn this so quickly. So now he is focusing more of his energy on Zhou Yi on the opposite side.
"My young friend, I admire you very much. You are young and bold, and you say it bluntly. The future belongs to people like you. So, I don't want to be against you. I believe that if I did that , I'm an absolute fool. So...?"
"So? Mr. Osborne, I like to be straightforward. If you have any ideas, feel free to put them up. Whatever the outcome, it's better than trying to whet your appetite."
Zhou Yi picked up the wine glass. One of the reasons he didn't like to deal with the family was that they liked to talk all over the place. This may make some people feel that they are a little inscrutable. But in Zhou Yi's view, this has no meaning other than wasting time. He didn't have so much time to play with him like this, so he simply cut into the theme.
"Looks like you like a more direct way of speaking, okay. Let's be more direct then. I wonder, Mr. Zhou, have you heard of a condition called retrovirus hyperplasia?"
With a slight frown, Old Osborn suppressed the unhappiness that the dominance of words was taken away. Turn into the rhythm of Zhouyi.
After listening to his question, Zhou Yi thought about it. He shook his head decisively. It was a condition he had never heard of, he was sure of it.
Seeing Zhou Yi's reaction, Old Osborn smiled bitterly. He took off the gloves that he had been wearing even when he was eating, and then showed Zhou Yi the truth behind the gloves.
It was a pair of hands that didn't look human. Because it's green, and it's a horrid green that makes people look very uncomfortable. Also his nails are very strange. Not like the flat shape of a normal human, but more like the sharp claws of a beast. When these two bizarre circumstances are combined, it is believed to be the hands of demons or aliens. Everyone will believe it.
After showing it a little, old Osborn put his hand in the glove again. At the same time, he began to tell Zhou Yi the crux of the problem.
"As you can see, this is retroviral proliferation.
A rare. Or a unique genetic disease. The disease has plagued the Osborn family for many years, and it has been taking every Osborn's life. And this disease, relying on the current medical level in this world, is completely incurable. "
"I've tried a lot of things, tried all sorts of lab stuff. But it didn't work. It's a genetic breakdown. Our powers can't do anything about it. To save me, and to save Harry's Life. I opened the GMO division at Osborne and hoped to give it a chance to live."
"But, he let me down. More than a decade later, this department can't solve my problems at all. I'm getting weaker, bit by bit, dragged into the abyss of death by this damn disease. You want to know a few weeks ago What do I look like? I tell you, I was like a monster back then!"
As he spoke, he couldn't control his temper, and began to shout hoarsely. Zhou Yi could see that he was very scared. for this genetic disease. Also for death.
After venting the emotions in his heart, old Osborn returned to his normal state again.
"Fortunately, fate still favors me. There is actually a god in this world, and I actually enjoy the gift of God. The god in Europe saved me, and he made my body get better. But I Know, the improvement is limited. He healed my body, but it didn't repair my genes. I looked fine, but it was only on the surface. After only a few weeks, my body was again A disease has occurred.”
Having said that, the old Osborn began to make a summary of his story.
"I can't pin my hopes on another manifestation of the gods. I must hurry up and do something in this last minute! So I hope to get your help!"
"Me?" Shaking the wine glass in front of him. Zhou Yi looked at Old Osborn with playful eyes. "How do you want me to help you, Mr. Osborn?"
"It's very simple!" Old Osborn's face showed the look of a businessman. "I want to make a deal, I want to buy it from you, the Institute of Advanced Conceptual Mechanics."
Hear this. Zhou Yi immediately laughed.
"It's impossible, Mr. Osborne. You don't know what it's worth!"
"Of course I know. In fact, when you put it on the list of Tony Stark's exhibitions, I know how valuable it is. This is an innovation, an innovation about the human brain!"
Words that are mocking for Zhou Yi. Old Osborn looked very calm.
"Forgive me, I know some secret issues through some people. So I know exactly what has been researched. I have to admit, Aldridge Killian is a genius, he and his men invented it Desperate transformation is definitely something of epochal significance. The human body's nervous center and brain system are stimulated through biotechnology micro-components to complete the upgrade at the DNA level. Such inventions can solve many problems, probably including mine. "
"Since you know what Extremis means, then you should be very clear. It is impossible for me to sell him. It is the core technology of the corona. So no matter what, I will not let it out of my hands. slipped away."
Old Osborn's method made Zhou Yi feel angry. No one is too happy to have their company's secrets stolen. Thankfully, looking at the way old Osborn looks like this, he doesn't seem to have gotten anything crucial. He just knew about the existence of Desperate Transformation. And know that there is a long way to go before creation.
"I understand that no one will give up such a precious thing. Therefore, I am willing to exchange for something more precious!"
Norman Osborn was very sincere. He looked at Zhou Yi and said so.
"It's just a cash cow in your hands. You give it to me, and I can give you two cash cows. Dr. Otto Gunther Octavius's nuclear fusion solar experiment is about to begin. And I I have full ownership of this experiment. As soon as Dr. Otto succeeds, I can transfer it to your name immediately. In addition, there are also the results of the research on GMOs that I have been doing for more than ten years, and I can also all Hand it over to you. With the Umbrella biological research base you inherited, you will soon be able to get new genetically modified results."
"Unlimited energy, as well as the top biological research, I can give you all. As long as you give it to me, let me exchange for a chance to live!"
Norman Osborn's sincerity is not high, but Zhou Yi thought about it again and again. Still shook his head.
Dr. Otto's fusion sun sounds great, but Tony has asserted it. There's definitely something wrong with this guy. In this regard, Tony is the real expert, so Zhou Yi believed his assertion 100%.
Then under this premise, nuclear fusion solar technology has become a joke. And then, GMO research. This is even more ridiculous.
You have to know how much work Zhou Yi wastes to let the corona wash away the impression that Umbrella left in the eyes of the world. For this, he even completely abandoned the basics of Umbrella's biological research, instead focusing on the development of medicine and high-tech research. At this time, what if he took over Osborn's transgenic research? You don't have to think about him to know that there will definitely be enough excuses for those who have been staring at him to target him.
With the problem of biochemical viruses before, no one will allow the corona to have this similar biological development technology again.
Therefore, the conditions of the old Osborn became completely unattractive in front of Zhou Yi. He rejected him, and refused very simply.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Osborne. I'm still saying that, I'm not going to sell it, I'm not going to do it anyway."
"Don't you need to think about it? Mr. Zhou!" Norman Osborn's expression became ugly. "You know, you're not just rejecting a deal, you're rejecting two lives. Are you going to watch me and Harry get killed by a disease?"
When he finished speaking, even Harry Osborn, who had been listening, raised his head and stared at Zhou Yi. From his eyes Zhou Yi saw desire and deep fear. That is the fear of death.
"Mr. Osborn, you are secretly changing the concept." Zhou Yi was not easily moved by such words, in fact his brain was very clear. "Whether the desperate transformation is in my hands or yours does not affect your life. Since you have mentioned it to me, then I have no reason to disagree with the treatment of you. They are on my order. There is no difference between completing the Extremis transformation on you and doing it at your command. It can heal you, then it can heal you. No, then it is absolutely not even if the owner changes. Mr. Osborn , you should be well aware of this."
Norman Osborn is very clear, of course he is very clear. Because his fundamental purpose is ownership, not a mere opportunity for desperate transformation. Having a technology and having a chance to use it are two completely different things. He clearly wanted more of that one. (~^~)
