The more Russell said this, the more Norman Osborne felt that these two projects could not be handed over to him easily.
There is a conspiracy!
There must be a conspiracy!
Although Norman Osborne is silent now, just looking at his current expression, Russell knows what he is thinking.
He can't read minds.
But Norman Osborne would have such an idea, which was misled by him.
Norman Osborne would not have thought that from the beginning, his target was not these two projects, but Dr. Connors and Dr. Otto, who presided over the project.
After thinking for nearly half a minute, Norman Osborne said slowly: "The Osborne Group has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in these two projects."
"Although no results have been achieved so far, transferring the project to you like this is not in the interests of Osborne Group shareholders."
"Well, if you don't mind, Mr. Bradley, Osborne Group is willing to jointly develop these two projects with you. As for the symbiote, you only need to give one. What do you think?"
Norman Osborn is unwilling to give up on the symbiote, but he also doesn't want to give up on the project Dr. Connors and Dr. Otto are working on.
In this case, he could only choose to take a step back.
Use the right to cooperate in development in exchange for a unit of symbionts.
After Norman Osborne finished speaking, Russell did not reply to him immediately, pretending to think seriously.
After pretending to think for more than ten seconds, he said: "Since Mr. Osborne is unwilling to completely hand over these two projects to Octopus Monster Industry, let's develop them together."
"Given that the Osborne Group has invested a lot of resources in the early stage, in the next period of time, Octopus Monster Industry will provide research and development funds."
"When the investment of both parties is basically equal, then we can jointly invest to maintain the development of the project. Mr. Osborne, what do you think?"
Although Russell did not have much interest in cross-species genetic and nuclear fusion projects, in order to prevent Norman Osborn from seeing that his goal was not the final result of the project, he could only act to the end.
"No problem, this is the best!"
Norman Osborne said with a smile.
"Then, happy cooperation!"
After speaking, Russell stood up and extended his right hand towards Norman Osborne.
Norman Osborne didn't think much, stood up, shook hands with Russell, and reached a preliminary cooperation agreement.
When the two of them finished chatting, the matter was handed over to two professionals, Dr. Connors and Betty.
Although Norman Osborne can be considered a front-line R&D personnel, his main identity is still the chairman of the Osborne Group, not the person in charge of the project.
Therefore, it was left to Dr. Connors and Betty to discuss the specific details of the project and check the project data.
Because Dr. Otto is not present now, the nuclear fusion project is not yet able to conduct a first-time understanding.
But it doesn't matter. As long as Dr. Otto still needs financial support from the Osborne Group and Octopus Industry, he will definitely choose to cooperate obediently.
When Dr. Connors and Betty finished talking about some specific contents of the project and agreed on a time to go to the Osborne Group to check on the specific project progress, Norman Osborne left the office with Dr. Connors.
After the two of them left, Betty asked with some confusion: "These two projects are still in the early stages, and it is not clear whether they can reach the final verification stage. Now we have decided to jointly develop them with the Osborne Group. Are you a little too impulsive?"
Unlike other large companies, Octopus Industries and Octopus Labs are Russell's private property.
To put it simply, he does not need to be responsible to any so-called shareholders and directors.
As long as he wants to, even if Octopus Monster Industries switches to charity from tomorrow, no one can stop him.
But even so, Betty still felt that Russell's decision was a bit too impulsive.
She didn't understand what the symbiote was, so she couldn't accurately estimate its value.
But after communicating with Dr. Connors about the data and content of the cross-species genetic project, she knew that the research funds that the Octopus Monster Industry would bear next were not a small amount.
"It's okay. It doesn't matter if the project fails. Just treat it as an investment error."
"By the way, when you take people to Dr. Connors's laboratory, remember to bring back a few spiders with cross-species inheritance."
Russell smiled and said to Betty, while patting Betty's round and perky buttocks.
Not sure if it was because Betty was now wearing a polka-dot dress, Russell felt that Betty's buttocks seemed to be rounder than yesterday.
After feeling Russell's unabashed little move, Betty rolled her eyes at him.
However, she had no intention of removing Russell's right hand.
Although there is a bedroom next to the office, Russell has no plans to play Ludo with Betty now.
After letting Betty leave, he returned to his desk and sat down, took out his mobile phone and dialed Kara's number.
Kara and Hulk have been hanging out in Los Angeles for a while.
If he is still in the "cocoon" now, it doesn't matter if he doesn't contact Kara.
But he has been awake for two or three days now. If he doesn't contact Kara, who knows if this girl will have a tantrum when she comes back.
In order to avoid such unpleasant things happening, Russell decided to call in advance.
After waiting for twenty or thirty seconds, the call was connected.
Before he could speak, there was noisy background sound and Kara's slightly excited voice coming from the other side of the phone.
"How are you and Hulk doing now?"
Russell asked directly.
"Having a good time!"
Kara said happily.
"Come back early when you've had enough fun. I have something to talk to you about."
"Does Sister Diana agree that you and I can continue to be a couple? Sister Diana has already told me."
Kara immediately guessed what Russell was thinking.
Forehead……
"Now that you know, forget it. You can continue playing. Watch out for Hulk and don't let him get out of control."
Russell reminded Kara habitually.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, the big guy can't lose control."
"By the way, I forgot to tell you that the big man has been spotted by a crew and is filming a movie. He is also a supporting actor with a lot of roles. We may have to stay for a while before we can go back."
filming?
After hearing Kara's words, Russell was stunned for a moment.
He originally thought that Kara was just taking Hulk for a walk around Hollywood, shopping or something, but to his surprise, Hulk was actually dragged into filming a movie.
This isn't some messy B-level movie, is it?
Just when he was about to ask what kind of movie it was, Kara said carelessly: "Don't worry, it's not some weird movie, it's a standard Hollywood action blockbuster."
Russell frowned after hearing Kara's words.
Although Hollywood blockbusters will make temporary changes to the script during the filming process, it would be a bit strange to randomly add a supporting role with a lot of scenes at the last minute.
This sounds like something that a reliable crew and company would not do.
