"Eating a bean will make your arms grow? Are you sure you're not kidding me?"

After the age when he knew his destiny, he was not a cheerful person. Coupled with the inherited gentlemanly habits, Norman Osborne rarely showed his expression. As for the surprise and suddenness, it goes without saying.

But now, after hearing Stark's description, he unconsciously raised his voice and showed an uncharacteristically surprised and skeptical expression.

"Although we haven't reached the stage of in vivo experiments yet, so we can't really confirm it, but..." Stark smiled, raised his finger and pointed at Shi Xiaolei: "He took out the thing, and he told me the effect himself. I I thought, there shouldn’t be anything wrong.”

"I thought you had verified it." After responding first, Shi Xiaolei took over the conversation and met Norman Osborne's gaze: "He is right, the effect of fairy beans is indeed extraordinary. Generally, if you don’t believe it, you can take two back home and find a disabled volunteer to give it a try.”

"Didn't you say there isn't much inventory left?" Stark interjected in protest.

"There is no room for waste, but if you are serious about research, it is okay to squeeze out a few." Shi Xiaolei shrugged and gave Stark an 'I am very reasonable' expression: "Besides, I I don’t plan to join you and get involved in the acquisition of Pioneer Technology... Don’t look at me like that. You know, I’ve always been like this. Well, I just don’t want to be nagged by you and say I’m not a good friend or cooperative enough. , that’s why I brought out a few more fairy beans to top the bag. Isn’t that straightforward enough?”

"..." Staring at Shi Xiaolei, Stark could only helplessly shake his head: "Okay, you have said so, what else can I say."

"Norman, don't mind. I really can't play the business acquisition game."

"It doesn't matter." Norman Osborne smiled and nodded: "Although it's a bit regretful, I can understand it."

"Thank you." He clapped his hands and stood up. Shi Xiaolei said with a smile: "Then...two big bosses, please chat slowly. I will go play with them for a while, so I won't disturb you."

Walking out from under the awning, Shi Xiaolei took off his floral shirt and walked shirtless to the children playing on the beach.

The two people who stayed under the awning looked at each other and smiled in unison.

"Sometimes, I really envy him."

"Although I don't want to admit it, but... forget it, let's not talk about him, let's talk about ourselves. Norman, regarding the acquisition of Pioneer Technology, I have something..."

This conversation between Stark and Norman Osborn only confirmed the intention to cooperate.

As for how the two groups should cooperate specifically, and what details need to be paid attention to, formal discussions will be required before they can be truly determined.

It will take two or three more meetings to say the least, and it cannot be explained clearly in just a short while.

As for the acquisition of Pioneer Technology... even if it is quick, it will have to wait until a month before the actual implementation can begin.

And before that...

Norman Osborn felt it was necessary to verify the effectiveness of fairy beans first to see if it was really as magical as Stark said.

On the one hand, it’s because I’m really curious.

On the other hand, it was also because Stark highlighted the scientific research project under Pioneer Technology directed by Aldrich Killian.

Although I don’t know why he cares about that project in particular, from Norman Osborn’s standpoint, he would not doubt Stark’s vision. So, after Stark mentioned that project in particular, Norman Osborn also marked it in his mind and identified it as a key target in the acquisition.

In this case, whether the efficacy of fairy beans is true or not has become a very critical factor.

The reason is very simple. If the fairy beans are really as magical as Stark described, then it is undoubtedly the best trump card - as long as it is there, it is easy to create a "Our research results are far beyond Then, whether you are taking advantage of the other party's panic to poach the research team, or seizing the opportunity to lower the acquisition price... In short, after a series of chain reactions, the entire acquisition process will inevitably It will become easier and simpler.

"Check for me, is Dr. Connors here today?"

"Dr. Connors...he came here an hour ago and is now in Laboratory 3."

"Let me know and ask him to come to my office."

"Yes, sir."

After giving the instructions, Norman Osborne put down the phone, opened the folder in front of him, and got back to work again.

Documents that require Norman Osborne to see in person are certainly not trivial matters. A slight sloppiness may result in tens of millions or hundreds of millions of losses. Therefore, even Norman Osborne does not dare to be careless in the slightest.

Be engrossed in it and not feel the passage of time. When he heard the knock on the door from outside, Norman Osborne suddenly realized that half an hour had passed.

"Come in." In agreement, Norman Osborne speeded up his reading.

"Mr. Osborne, are you looking for me?"

"Dr. Connors, please sit down first and wait for me for five minutes while I finish signing this document." Pointing to the sofa a few meters in front of the desk, Norman Osborne looked up at the door and spoke to him. The secretary who had time to exit said, "Make two cups of coffee and bring them over. Mine is stronger."

"Dr. Connors?"

"Add an extra sugar cube to mine." Smiling at the little secretary, Connors came to the sofa and sat down naturally.

In addition to the relationship between superiors and subordinates, Connors and Norman Osborne also had a fairly good personal relationship.

After all, it has been five or six years since he broke his arm and left the army to join the Osborne Group.

In these years, he has made considerable contributions to the performance of Osborne Group by virtue of his abilities in biochemical research.

With Norman Osborne's extremely shrewd mind and his position as a boss, it is of course necessary to win over outstanding employees like Connors.

Either it was an innocuous chat, or it was a small gift with a purpose. Under Norman Osborne's deliberate actions, the two of them could see each other every few days. After this back and forth, they became familiar with each other and had some friendship.

In fact, in the original plot, the reason why Norman Osborne handed over the task of researching antidotes to genetic diseases to Connors was not only because of Connors's own hard power in scientific research, but also because of his good personal relationship. The sense of trust is also one of the reasons that cannot be ignored.

And now...

Under the influence of Shi Xiaolei, Norman Osborn has got rid of the troubles of genetic diseases. Also because of Shi Xiaolei's suggestion, he did not accept the military's commission to take on any project related to 'human body enhancement' project and conduct research on it.

In other words, Connors, who works for the Osborne Group, has not yet received financial support at this time, and is conducting large-scale research on 'improving self-healing ability', and the 'regeneration of severed limbs' that he is obsessed with, It has just been transformed from a simple idea to a self-funded research, which is just the first step.
