Chapter 294 Business Secrets

"Mr. Osborn, please be blunt. I don't understand what you mean." Zhou Yi knew very well that this old guy must be playing some kind of riddle with himself.

If there is something in his words, it depends on whether you can understand the meaning in his words. However, Zhou Yi can't be bothered to play this kind of guessing game with him now. Guessing right won't do him any good, and guessing wrong will cause trouble. So why do you want to cooperate with him like this?

Regarding Zhou Yi's direct and unruly approach, Norman Osborn smiled and said.

"Have a little patience, my young friend. Now is not the time to say that. If you have time, we can have a good chat over lunch."

It was rare for old Osborn to be so patient. Although he didn't know what he wanted, one thing Zhou Yi was sure about was that he must have something in him that he desperately wanted.

What could it be? He suddenly became interested. Therefore, Zhou Yi nodded slightly to Osborn's invitation.

Seeing Zhou Yi nod his head, Old Osborn also had a smile on his face. His mood suddenly improved. This is not a fake, but a real good mood that can make others feel.

It was only at this time that he patted the shoulder of the young man sitting beside him and pulled him to stand up. Said to all the shareholders around.

"Next, and why I have invited you here. I would like to solemnly introduce an outstanding young man who is also my son and my future heir. He is Harry Osborne. CEO of Osborne Corporation, yes. I have made a decision that he will now represent me in the position of President of Osborne Corporation."

As soon as these words came out, the entire board of directors immediately fell silent.

Before they could accept Harry Osborn as the future head of the company, it was based on the fact that they knew the old Osborn would die soon. Under such circumstances, even if Osborn Jr. became their president, he would inevitably face the situation of being overridden by them. Even if Osborn Jr. was a genius, they could at least make a profit before he took full power.

But things are different now. Old Osborn didn't look like he was going to die soon. With his escort, little Osborn will only take over the rights in his hands in a calm situation. And by that time. They get nothing. Because Harry, who truly inherited everything from Norman, will only become the unshakable Osborn II. Continue to dominate everything in this company.

This is not a vision the directors want to see. Because of this, the scene suddenly became embarrassing. Embarrassingly deserted.

And at this time,

Applause broke out. That was Zhou Yi's applause. It was given to Harry Osborn, who had just come on stage, so that he didn't have to continue standing so awkwardly in this situation.

And with him taking the lead, the sparse applause sounded one after another. Although it is not enthusiastic, it can be regarded as an explanation for the appearance of little Osborn.

As for the old Osborn, at this time, his face was indifferent. With his experience in charge of the company for so many years. How can I not know what kind of stuff these people are. The reason why he chose to introduce little Osborn at a time when everyone had lost a lot of money just now was to show him what these people were like.

Only by recognizing what kind of people they are, can he control them better in the future. He must understand that these people cannot be friends, but only enemies. The enemy of their Osborn family.

Now, his purpose has been achieved. So, he put on the mask of a dictator again and said to all the shareholders present.

"Okay, I'm done. Now, do you have anything else to say?"

"Mr. Osborne. The current public opinion is very unfavorable to us, don't you think?" Someone said tentatively. And immediately, Osborn responded impatiently.

"Do I have to do such a small thing myself? Forget it, Harry, it's up to you. Just in time, it's time to take this opportunity to introduce you to everyone."

Little Osborn's eyes showed a daze for the task that the old Osborn had entrusted to him. But he nodded quickly, indicating that he already knew what to do.

It doesn't matter, the key is whether you have the courage to do it. At this point, the old Osborn was quite satisfied with his son's performance.

"Then. Do you have anything else to do?"

This time, no one spoke. Because everyone saw that old Osborn didn't want to listen to them now. So they all chose to remain silent.

And this is the answer Norman Osborn wants.

"Very well, then this board meeting will end here. Mr. Zhou, I think we can have lunch together. Then have a good chat."

"Okay, I'm fine."

Zhou Yi, who was somewhat interested in the intention behind the old Osborn, stood up, and neither he nor the Osborn father and son paid much attention to the shareholders present. Just like that, he left the conference room first.

And it wasn't until they were far away that someone asked in a low voice.

"Is Mr. Osborn really healthy?"

No one answered him because everyone's answer was the same. And this is a situation that they all do not want to see. It is really not a good thing for the strong Osborn to exist like this. But as has been the case for so many years. As long as Norman Osborn is still alive, there is nothing they can do.

He is like a big mountain. A mountain they couldn't cross.

After leaving the Osborn Building, Zhou Yi and Osborn and his son came to their mansion together.

After being explained by the old Osborn, the servants of the Osborn family were already ready. So as soon as they arrived, the banquet began.

The well-mannered butler instructed the servants and served the freshly baked food to the host and guests, while Old Osborn dragged his staggered body and poured a glass of red wine for Zhou Yi himself.

In the company, the old man has always been a cold-faced tyrant. But here, he is smiling very cheerfully.

"I have always thought that Mr. Zhou is a very rare and outstanding young man in the world. How old are you now, thirty? Thinking about when I was your age, it seemed that this company had just been established. Ben is still a small company."

"Mr. Osborne, I just happened to be at the right time. Anyone can do venture capital, and the achievements made through venture capital can't compare with the achievements you have made little by little. Therefore, you are the one who makes me admire. The man of you. Just like the deceased Mr. Stark, you are all geniuses!"

Who won't praise people. Old Osborn actually wanted to open up the situation by flattering himself at this time, so he would flatter himself back. You won't lose anything if you say two good words, so Zhou Yi is naturally happy to fight with Osborn like this.

"Everyone can do venture capital, but there are very few that can succeed every time. Mr. Zhou, you don't have to be arrogant, you must know that you are Harry's idol."

Zhou Yi appeared to be quite sophisticated, which was unexpected by the old Osborn. But this is just a temptation, and next, they have to get to the point.

"Harry kept telling me that someone like you could get out of Wall Street on your own. You can't find many in the whole of America, but he always wanted to get to know you through me. Now, I can finally fulfill his wish."

"Huh?" Hearing this, Zhou Yi glanced at Harry Osborn who was sitting beside him. He thought it was just something old Osborn made up to bring the relationship closer. But looking at Harry's somewhat burning eyes, he realized that he didn't seem to be lying about this.

At this time, little Harry also continued the topic of his father and said to Zhou Yi.

"Mr. Zhou, seriously. I really admire you. Especially when you decisively sold tertiary industry stocks and turned to technology industrial stocks at the time of the millennium. It's a stroke of magic. How did you foresee that there After that, the tertiary industry will collapse?"

Seriously, this is black history. It was impossible for Zhou Yi to tell him that he chose to give up the most risky tertiary industry stocks because he remembered the millennium financial crisis in his previous life. If it is true, then it is estimated that it will be ashamed and thrown into another world.

So he can only pretend to be motionless in all directions, all in my heart, and said to little Harry.

"Harry, I'll just call you that. You want to know, how many times have the stocks in my hand have turned over at that time? I can tell you that each of the virtual electronics industry stocks has turned over at least twenty in my hand. Times. Especially Apple and Cisco, these two companies are far more than this number. So my first feeling was not happy, but that something was wrong.”

"There is nothing in the world that lasts forever. There is a classic "Book of Changes" in China, and there is a saying in it that the dragon has regrets. It is the truth that after things reach their peaks, they will inevitably fall. Therefore, in order to Avoiding risks and closing in time is the best choice, isn’t it? I’ve earned enough anyway.”

"This is business, my boy. You have to be greedy enough, but you can't be blinded by greed. Otherwise, you will be led into the abyss."

Old Osborn patted his son on the shoulder in time. He taught him, let him see what kind of place he will live in in the future.

"As Mr. Zhou said, absolutely nothing can stay at the top all the time. It's the same as Osborn now. If I'm gone, do you think you can stand up to Osborn's reputation? Do you think we Will the company be brought to the brink of destruction by those greedy capitalists?"

This is something Norman Osborn never told his son. But now, he started teaching him. After listening to his father's words, Harry seemed a little confused. He, who has always lived a playful life, can't adapt to such a rhythm. He needs time. And old Osborn also needs time. (~^~)
