Chapter 75: Taking Action
Norman Osborne told his son about the genetic disease in the Osborne family. People in the Osborne family will not live long.
He founded the Osborne Group to focus on the development of biology, medicine, etc., just to treat his family's diseases. This was a big stone weighing on his heart.
And today there is finally a drug that can treat it!
"I asked for leave for you. After you take the injection, you will have a low-grade fever for 24 hours. That is the result of genetic modification. There is no need to worry." Norman Osborne looked kind. , touched his son's head, "From now on, no one in the Osborne family will die from genetic diseases anymore."
"Dad!" Harry Osborn was really startled, "Have you used it?"
"Yes, kid, I did." Norman Osborne would not tell his son about the trouble, "Okay, go to bed early, don't think too much, everything will pass."
"Get some sleep and you will feel much better. If you feel comfortable, call the housekeeper and use physical means to cool down. No need to take medicine."
"I know, Dad!" Harry Osborn went back to his room. What he just heard had a great impact on him, but he soon fell asleep, his body feeling slightly warm.
Norman Osborne already knew it in detail. This is true for everyone who has used injections. So far, there has been no problem.
Moreover, he also spent money to ask the hospital to invite these people back for follow-up consultations and conduct comprehensive physical and genetic examinations. Otherwise, how could he dare to give it to his son himself?
Of course, he can also use it for himself, but he doesn't dare to gamble, what if something unexpected happens?
After all, it is not easy to suppress the Osborne Group's stock price. He and Link also discussed it for a long time today.
Strictly speaking, this is a violation of securities trading regulations and is an internal operation.
It's just that Norman Osborn acted at his own expense, harming his own interests in favor of Link.
…
Jessica and Link return home, and McCall and Frank leave.
After Jessica went upstairs, she asked, "Will Osborne cooperate with you?"
"Of course, although he will also suffer losses, he will earn more if the stock price appreciates in the future." Link said, "You know I have been studying recently, and I also rented a laboratory at the university. "
"I have researched a lot of special medicines. Once they are launched, they will be very popular. You know that American medicines are very deceptive."
"My medicines are the most effective. Of course, this will make doctors make a lot less money, but it doesn't matter. Exporting them can also make money, and it's better for patients."
Link doesn't want to help the people here, and it's not wise to fight the entire medical system. If you don't open it, I will export it, and it won't be at a high price.
After all, everyone is likely to get sick, and the pharmaceutical business will never have to worry about selling. I just need to research and develop more. Anyway, the super brain is so easy to use now, and Link doesn’t mind creating another persona for himself.
However, this matter is kept secret for the time being. He only needs social status and does not need the name of genius for the time being. When necessary, he can let Norman Osborne be exposed.
Jessica asked, "Is the medical problem a big one?"
Link rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't it difficult?"
"Medical insurance dares patients to choose their treatment plan. Doctors prescribe medicine not based on the condition, but based on the benefits given by the medical representative."
"There are more problems inside that we don't understand."
Jessica didn't know any of this. She used to be an ordinary girl except for her strength. …
Norman Osborne then took action, and now there were some voices in the board of directors. He didn't care at all about this, and did not win over shareholders. Instead, he secretly handed some information to Frank.
Frank became the liaison between Link and Osborne, and Link secretly gave this information to the media.
Then, negative news about the Osborne Group began to leak out. The first was Richard Parker's escape. He invested a lot of research and development funds and saw success, but the developer ran away with the information.
While taking a plane, he also encountered a plane crash. It was impossible to recover the information, and the Osborne Group's investment was in vain.
Secondly, the military’s divestment caused the Osborne Group to lose its military research and development funding.
Finally, it was revealed that Norman Osborne had a physical problem and that the Osborne family had a genetic disease inherited.
These three are big news, and then there are some gossips. The electric eel power generation developed by the Osborne Group's energy department will be defeated by Stark Industries' electromagnetic arc reactor.
The scandal among the internal directors was also published in the gossip newspapers. For a time, Osborne Group's stock price plummeted, and the board of directors was immediately convened.
Norman Osborne was furious, thinking that someone had betrayed the group's secrets. After all, he had suffered huge losses and others would not suspect him.
However, his outburst immediately caused panic within the board of directors, and everyone began to distrust each other, instantly dividing the board of directors.
Link has long used financial leverage to enter the market and short the Osborne Group. This time he will make more money because the rhythm is in his hands.
Of course, he came to eat the biggest piece of cake. He made billions of dollars by shorting Hammer Industries before, but now he has more capital, so he is shorting even more.
The financial institutions that held shares in Osborne Group suffered heavy losses, and what they would get back later would be a bunch of cheap stocks, while Link made a lot of money.
There are still follow-up news. The biggest problem of Osborne Group is that there is no good news. The project they invested the most in has completely failed. Now the group has come up with any valuable good news.
This hit their weak spot. Suddenly the Osborne Group gained strength and fell directly. As the stock price plummeted, investors directly sold their stocks.
Some shareholders were also shaken, and some financial institutions even negotiated directly with Link, hoping that he would directly acquire these stocks.
Link was not taken advantage of, so he ignored him at all. Norman Osborn would not save the market, and he would not buy it now. With the two of them joining forces, they watched the stock drop to three dollars a share, almost becoming a bargain. .
Link then closed the position and returned the stocks, including interest, before sending representatives to discuss the purchase of stocks.
He did not acquire it immediately, but sent people to negotiate separately. Matthew Murdoch was responsible for the legal aspects of the transaction, and people from the Jessica Charitable Foundation were responsible for the acquisition.
More than a month later, just when people thought the Osborne Group was about to go bankrupt, the Jessica Charitable Foundation suddenly announced that it had completed its control of the Osborne Group, with its shares exceeding 67%.
