Chapter 144 I Am Working Hard to Change the World

Although everyone expressed disapproval of the comics that Mindy read, but they still felt that Mindy's proposal was reasonable.

However, how to obtain this copyright has become a problem. You must not go to the court to apply for it yourself with a mask on, and you have to produce various identification certificates.

But Li Jie was very interested in this matter because he found out. If he publishes comics or even movies as a Nightcrawler, even if he is not personally involved.

He can still gain prestige, so it is actually very cost-effective.

Because many of the actions he participated in were actually carried out in secret, such as the incident at the hand and hand meeting, and the incident at the blood farm last time.

Obviously, a lot of effort has been made to solve a lot of troubles, but the popularity is still very low.

And Mindy's suggestion is a way, other people said that they have no interest in participating in this kind of thing, and now the star members of the team are Nightcrawler and Spider-Man.

The other three old men were too low-key, and they didn't wear particularly cool tights or anything. They were more used to giving fatal blows in the dark like poisonous snakes.

While there's a real need for people like them on the team who are willing to do the dirty work, it's clearly hard to turn them into stars.

A slightly absurd idea was born in Li Jie's mind.

The time is approaching the end of November, and the winter vacation of the Metropolitan High School will come in a while. Now the weather in New York is already very cold, and pedestrians on the road are beginning to wrap themselves in thick winter clothes.

"To be honest, I don't think this is a good idea." Peter was wearing a gray windbreaker, holding a cup of hot coffee, his nose turned red from the cold.

"But I think it's a good idea." Li Jie ignored Peter's words and continued to stride forward.

"Think about it, this can change our team's dire financial situation. We can't keep robbing gangsters, and haven't you always opposed gangsters?"

The direction the two are heading is the Osborne Group, and now Harry has officially become the chairman of the Osborne Group.

Despite the difficulties ahead, Harry at least has a trusted friend by his side to advise him.

Li Jie has been officially hired as Harry's personal consultant. Although he is not full-time, he also has a salary. Since he promised to help Harry, Li Jie would naturally take the time to come to the Osborne Group to listen to Harry's ideas.

Analyze the problems of various events together for him.

The two stepped into the Osborne Group building together, and the beautiful female receptionist at the front desk stood up and said something to Li Jie. "Good morning, Mr. Jason."

"Good morning, Susan. Your bow tie is so beautiful today." Li Jie greeted. "Please give me a guest card."

The guest card was for Peter. Originally, Harry wanted Peter to be a half-time researcher like Gwen.

But Peter is at his wits end now, and the last semester of high school will be very stressful, and even Gwen is thinking about quitting.

What's more, Peter Parker, who also takes into account the identity of Spiderman, has no time to come here to work.

However, Peter agreed that he would have more free time after he went to college, and he was willing to work in the research laboratory of the Osborne Group as an intern.

After all, in the laboratory of such a large company, you can learn many things that cannot be taught in schools.

"I still think it's too embarrassing. Do you really want to show it to Harry?" Peter lowered his voice, and found that there were a lot of people coming and going in the building.

"It's okay, at most he will laugh at you, but it will be beneficial to our future development. Sometimes being a superhero not only requires you to have a righteous heart and superpowers, but more often than not, you also need to have a super thick skin. .” Li Jie patted Peter on the shoulder.

The elevator came, and Li Jie and Peter stepped into the elevator to go to the office floor where Harry was.

"Wait, wait." A man holding a pile of blueprints was rushing towards the elevator.

Standing in the elevator, a middle-aged man with black framed glasses and a greasy hair did not pay attention to this man, but pressed the close button further, trying to block the people outside.

Li Jie frowned, and he reached out to block the sensor at the elevator door. "I don't think all of us in the elevator are in such a hurry sir."

Li Jie's height of 1.85 meters was much taller than the middle-aged man. Being stared at by a strong man like Li Jie made the middle-aged man dare not say anything.

Moreover, he glanced at Li Jie's badge, which belonged to the high-level management department. Although he didn't know what Li Jie's real position was, he still didn't want to confront Li Jie.

"Very, I'm sorry, I don't think I heard it." The middle-aged man's defense was weak, but Li Jie didn't bother to care about him.

"Thank you, thank you for waiting for me." The guy holding a bunch of blueprints finally caught up with the elevator. The blueprints he was holding looked like pipelines.

It seems to be a technician in charge of the water and electricity pipelines in the building.

"You're welcome." Li Jie nodded slightly to him, and then he didn't want to say anything, because he was thinking about other things in his mind.

The technician seemed to want to say something, but he saw the badge of Li Jie's representative identity, and Li Jie didn't seem willing to continue talking, so he had to shut up and say nothing.

When the elevator reached the chairman's office on the top of the building, there were only Li Jie and Harry in the elevator.

The huge office at the top of the building, which had once belonged to Norman Osborn, now belonged to Harry. Li Jie greeted Harry's private secretary, knowing that Harry was free, he went straight into the office.

"Wow, isn't this my personal consultant? Did you remember that you are going to work for your boss today?" Harry looked busy, looking down at the documents.

There was a bit of resentment in his tone. "It's so kind of you. You have a lot of time to go out and have fun every day. Now I'm so busy that I almost don't have time to date Mary."

It seems that the new chairman of the board of directors has not fully adapted to his job.

"Don't say that, Mr. Chairman. You now hold monstrous power, and one of your signatures can change the lives of millions of people." Li Jie unceremoniously pulled out a chair and sat on Harry. opposite.

Peter couldn't say such flattering words. Peter had been making complaints all the time, so he could only simply say hello to Harry.

"Well, when you say that, I suddenly feel that my work is very meaningful." Harry smiled, expressing his acceptance of Li Jie's compliment.

"I have one thing I want to ask for your opinion." Harry said after reading the document in his hand, looking at Li Jie seriously.

"The Stark Group is in trouble now, and Congress requires them to hand over how to make steel armor." Harry's tone was very serious. "Someone encouraged me to test the pressure on the Stark Group, what do you think?"

Li Jie glanced at his mouth, let's not talk about the movies he had seen in his previous life, because the current world line has changed so much that even the screenwriter's own mother doesn't know him anymore.

Just talking about Li Jie's own understanding of Tony Stark, he knew that it was impossible for Tony to hand over such a thing.

"Harry, do you know that I have another identity besides being your personal advisor?" Li Jie asked.

"Nightcrawler?" Harry asked with a smile.

"No, it's not such a superficial character." Li Jie waved his hand. "It's Tony Stark's personal chef."

"Hey buddy, I've never heard you say that." Peter and Harry were a little surprised. They knew that Li Jie had been working as a private chef for a rich man, but they never knew who it was.

"Wow, then you will be the best commercial spy in the Osborne Group." Harry laughed.

"I have a certain understanding of Tony. In fact, I believe we all know that his reputation is more important than his life." Li Jie said.

"It's like how much money he spent to settle that incident in New York last time." All three of them laughed when they said that.

"There can only be one Iron Man. Tony is a proud man. He can't let others have the same thing as him, especially when this thing is his favorite toy." Both Harry and Peter nodded.

"And to be honest, I don't quite understand the purpose of those who encourage you to do this. In fact, the value of Iron Armor is overestimated."

"At least the current Iron Armor is overrated. It still has many weaknesses. I have fought with Peter and Tony, and its actual combat performance is not as impactful as its appearance."

Peter nodded, indicating that Li Jie was right.

"Actually, the real core of Tony Stark lies in the Ark reactor, which is the most important thing."

"There is absolutely no need to compete with Tony for the steel armor or something. I think the Green Goblin armor designed by Uncle Norman is very good." Li Jie thought of the battle that day, threw away the part that was eroded by the demonic power, and Nuo Man's own armor design is also very good.

Although it is not as versatile as the Iron Armor, it is relatively easier to operate in terms of price and operation. Don't forget that all MK series armors must be assisted by Jarvis' artificial intelligence system.

Otherwise, relying on ordinary people's reaction nerves alone, it is impossible to truly operate the steel armor.

"Perhaps Tony will compromise and give the U.S. military some steel armor, but it is unrealistic to expect him to fully disclose the drawings. In fact, it is useless to disclose them. You should know that the elimination rate of technology is very fast."

"Perhaps Moore's Law of 3C products is also suitable for steel battle armor." Li Jie thought of Iron Man's huge family in the future.

"The new energy system researched by Tony will set off a revolution. It is inevitable. I believe someone must have mentioned it to you." Li Jie refers to the biological power generation system that Osborne Group has been researching.

The Osborne Group provides nearly one-third of the power generation in the Greater New York area with bio-power generation. However, the technology of bio-power generation is not very mature and the requirements are very high.

Therefore, this technology has not been widely promoted, and the new energy revolution led by Tony will inevitably cause shocks all over the world. This is an unstoppable technological leap.

Harry listened to Li Jie's words very seriously, and he was also thinking about the group's next plan.

"So I think the person who encouraged you to pressure the Stark Group to hand over the blueprints of the Iron Armor is stupid, or he has other plans." Li Jie pointed out the core point of this matter.

"If you spend a lot of group resources and fail to do something, or even if you succeed, but the benefits you get are not as great as you imagined, Harry, what position do you think you will be in? superior?"

"My God, what you said is too complicated Jason." Peter is very smart, but his intelligence is focused on scientific research, and he has never delved into the issue of intrigue among powers.

Harry unconsciously broke a ballpoint pen he was holding in his hand. "You're right, you're right. If this is the case, I'm afraid the board of directors will hold a new round of chairman elections."

Harry stood up and paced, teeth biting his lip slightly.

"Although the Stark Group and the Osborne Group have always overlapped and competed commercially, the two have remained relatively rational, especially since the Stark Group has now withdrawn from the field of weapons manufacturing." Li Jie continued to support Ha Lee analyzed.

"There are actually only two areas where the Osborne Group and the Stark Group overlap and compete the most intensely. One is the new energy field, and the other is the military manufacturing field."

"At present, we can say that it is impossible for us to compete with Tony in the energy field. He is now the winner. It is only a matter of time before the new energy king is crowned."

"Harry, if you want to maintain the group's competitive advantage, you should still turn your attention to the military industry. The withdrawal of the Stark Group will at least give up tens of billions of dollars."

Li Jie has not mentioned his own affairs so far, instead he wholeheartedly provides advice to Harry, because he knows that Harry needs support the most at this time.

"Yes, the person who encouraged me said the same thing. He thought that after forcing Tony to disclose the drawings, we could use the military's relationship to get a large order." Harry's tone was a little annoyed.

"Damn Settle! What a complete old bastard, I thought he was a nice guy." It looked like the person Harry was swearing at was the one who encouraged him to do it.

As a big company, the internal shareholders are not necessarily united, even people who you regard as relatives will betray, just like Tony Stark and Obedia.

"So, Harry. It's a waste of your time and experience to fight for this kind of thing." Li Jie shook his head.

"If Tony himself will compromise with the military and then release the blueprint, then with the ability of the Osborne Group, he will definitely be able to get the order, so you don't have to worry at all, this is someone deliberately setting you up."

Peter was a little blinded, he asked. "It's too complicated, can any of you explain it to me?"

Harry took a deep breath, sat down and said. "To put it simply, an old bastard set me up and asked me to force Tony to hand over the blueprint of the steel armor."

"This will waste a lot of human connections and financial resources of our group, and it may not be successful. And if I make this decision and fail, it is very likely that the board of directors will be called and my position will be removed."

"Because of Tony Stark's own relationship, it will be a matter of time before he compromises with the military, but he will definitely have reservations, and this time will drag on for a long time."

"They are using my anxiety to achieve some results in the group to plant a trap for me."

"Then some people kicked me out and got Tony's compromised military production order. He will take my current position as the hero who saved the group. At that time, I'm afraid I can only go to Jason's restaurant work."

"Hey, I don't think you should be so miserable." Peter understood now, so he smiled and said. "However, it's a good choice to work at Jason's restaurant. You can try cutting onions and see how many tears you can shed."

"So Jason, what good advice do you have?" Harry smiled at Peter, and asked Li Jie again.

"Wait." Li Jie smiled. "It is impossible for the military to look at other things without being explicitly rejected by Tony in the early stage."

"But when the military is really rejected, they will definitely need a substitute. The Green Goblin Armor may not be as good as the Iron Armor, but I think the price is much cheaper, which is completely in line with the military's appetite."

"Instead of coveting Tony's steel armor, it's better to improve the current Green Goblin armor. Harry, you even meet Tony on an informal occasion, especially Miss Pepper, the new president of the Stark Group."

"You can assure them that you will support their decision, or even withdraw from the competition for the new energy market. Anyway, we can't win this one, in exchange for Tony's support for the Osborne Group in front of the military."

"Mutual benefits, even the Osborne Group and the Stark Group can form a tacit understanding to some extent." Li Jie's words were very subtle, and he did not mention alliances or even cooperation.

Because once a company of this level is united, no government is willing to see it.

"I know, I just know. Asking you to be my advisor is the wisest choice in my life." Harry laughed out loud, and seemed to be in a much better mood

"Need some drinks, guys?" Harry asked, walking to the bar.

"Thank you raspberry juice." Li Jie said so much just now that his mouth was dry.

Peter raised the hot coffee in his hand, indicating that he didn't need it.

"Harry, I came to you today to help you solve the problem, and there is actually another matter." Li Jie said after taking a sip of the juice Harry handed over.

Peter suddenly looked embarrassed, as if he was trying to hide himself. He curled up in the chair a little bit, not daring to see what happened next.

Li Jie didn't care about him, but went directly to Harry's side and asked if he could use the computer. After getting permission, Li Jie opened the website that Mindy had browsed before.

He directly found the comics about Nightcrawler and Spider-Man and showed them to Harry.

Harry didn't feel anything at first, but the more he looked at him, the more something was wrong. Finally, after reading a comic, he looked at Li Jie and Peter strangely.

"Listen, man, I'm actually supportive of the gay bill or something. If you need any help, I can support you. Now that the rainbow bill is being discussed in parliament, I can use the power of the Osborne Group to promote this bill. Progress." Although Harry said this, the distance between him and Li Jie was unconsciously widened.

Peter looked like he was about to die. He knew that the plan was bad, and now he wanted to find a place to hide. As Li Jie said, Spider-Man still lacks a thick enough sheet of paper on his way to become a superhero. shameless.

"No ~ no ~ no, you misunderstood." Li Jie shook his head and wanted to put his hand on Harry's shoulder, but he dodged it indiscriminately.

"I told you, I'm not gay." Li Jie said seriously.

"Really?" Harry's expression was obviously not convinced. "To be honest, dude, I don't discriminate against this. I can pay to support you to go abroad to get married."

Peter was about to get under the table, and he growled inwardly, and I knew it was a terrible idea, absolutely terrible!

"Listen to my explanation, Harry. I am very serious about another business plan." Li Jie spoke in an extremely serious tone.

Harry raised his eyebrows, "What plan."

Li Jie took out the plan he had prepared and handed it to Harry. "About the plan to form a superhero industry company."

"This will give our team a long-term financial source."

"As I said, I can fully support the operation of your team, and money is not a problem." Harry didn't open the proposal immediately.

"It's not the same as Harry. You can't use the Osborne Group's money to do these things. The superhero team is a bottomless pit. You can only see the input but not the output." Li Jie explained.

"We need a way to maintain a balance of payments, so that the entire team can operate efficiently for a long time."

"And what if, I mean what if. One day a certain team member has an accident, we can take out a sum of money as compensation, maybe not a lot, but this is a due reward for a hero who has made contributions to society .” Li Jie’s tone was very serious.

"Even we can reward those brave people, those ordinary heroes, maybe they don't have superpowers, but they are still great in life."

"For example, Sister Marion, she is willing to lose everything to adopt orphans. For example, I know a bakery owner who goes to poor areas to distribute food every week. Their good deeds have lasted for decades."

"They are all heroes, and their good deeds set them apart."

"These kind people should be rewarded. The world has become indifferent because of the lack of rewards for doing good deeds, and it is precisely because of indifference that it has become cruel."

"Because of cruelty, all kinds of tragedies in our world are caused." Peter and Harry are now listening to Li Jie's speech seriously.

"What we do should not be confined to a certain place, but should be more action, maybe I say this is a bit arrogant, but people need role models."

"We are born ordinary, and we should be able to make a little contribution to the world now that we have the strength, maybe it's just a small step, but the important thing is not how much we can make a change, but what we do."

"We are working hard to change this indifferent and cruel world." After Li Jie's words fell, Harry's and Peter's eyes shone with an indescribable belief.

(It's gone tonight, so don't wait.)
