Hawke took a sip of the wine.Nodding."
Good wine.""
This was also given by a friend back then."
Norman Osborne just took a sip, and after putting down the wine glass, he heard Hawke's praise and laughed: "If Hawke likes it, I still have a few boxes in the cellar of the manor, and I can come to the manor when I have time." ”He never liked to drink bourbon.But Howard Stark loved to drink it back then.So, a long time ago, when Howard Stark came to his manor as a guest, he used to exaggerate and pull a truckload of Thunder Bourbon.Obviously, I said that it was good, so I didn't have to bring wine every time I came over, which was very annoying.Outcome......
The following year, Howard Stark was involved in a car accident.It's a sad story.Norman Osborne thought of his old friend, and shook his head inwardly, a little melancholy, but also thought of himself.He knew his physical condition, but he also knew that his only son, Harry, probably couldn't be like Tony Stark.If he were dead and Harry could take his baton and continue with the Osborne group, Norman would honestly find it nice to go down and reunite with his old friends.But......
Harry can't!
Norman Osborne thought to himself.How many boxes?
Thunder Bourbon?
Hawke raised an eyebrow and looked at Norman Osborne, "Then I can remember, this is an invitation, Norman." ”Norman laughed, "Of course, at any time, tonight." ”Hawke also laughed, waved his hand and said, "Not tonight, I have arrangements for the evening, sorry." ”He finally came back from undercover, and instead of going home tonight, he ran to eat with Norman Osborne?
Scold.Gwen doesn't blow up, Lorna at home has to blow up.After all, Lorna heard that he was back today, but after finishing her errands, she went to the supermarket and bought a lot of vegetables, especially Texas steak.Wanting the housekeeper Borona to buy such an expensive Texas steak, this is something that can only be expected at Christmas.Normally, if Hawke wants to eat it, he either buys it himself and asks Lorna to help him make it, and the most he can do is go to John's house next door.In Lorna's words, we are orphans, we need to plan ahead, save money, and what if we are targeted by others.Lorna's reasons were strong, and Hawke couldn't find any point to refute them.So, not tonight.If Hawke doesn't come back tonight, Lorna will dare to change the locks for him by tomorrow, and then when he knocks on the door, he will say, "Go home, do you still know that there is a home for us?"
”Norman smiled: "Then tomorrow, how, what dishes Hawke likes, I'll let the kitchen prepare it tomorrow." ”Hawke didn't shirk either, thought about it, looked at Norman and said, "Beef, I prefer authentic Texas steak." ”Texas steak, this is a delicacy that Hawke can't refuse.Especially authentic Texas steaks.Even if he eats every day, every meal, Hawk will not feel tired of it."
No problem!"
Norman waved his hand and said directly: "The chef in my family, the best thing is Texas steak, and it will definitely satisfy you Hawk." ”In fact, the chef in his estate is Italian.But......
It's just a Texas chef, and he has been to New York City, and he can find it in less than half an hour with a phone call.Money?
What can be bought with money is a small thing!
Norman said, "Then it's settled, tomorrow night." ”Hawke spread his hands, leaned back on the sofa, and said with a smile: "Of course, a word is a deal!"
”Just a few words.Before coming, Norman Osborne, who was not sure of Hawke's attitude, gradually let go of his careful thoughts.One word.Hawke had promised to have dinner tomorrow night, at least to show that Hawke might not be his friend yet, but he certainly wouldn't be his enemy.Of course.It's possible that there is a knife in the smile, but at the very least, it's a good start.Norman Osborne thought to himself, and once again raised his glass to Hawke.Hawke smiled slightly, raised the cup in his hand, touched it with Norman, and drank half of the Bourbon he had drunk.Norman grabbed the bottle next to him.Seeing this, Hawke wanted to grab it, but at Norman's insistence, he pushed his glass to the front and asked Norman Osborne to pour him good wine.Hawke is also aware of Norman Osborne's concerns.But......
Hawke didn't have any ideas.He didn't deliberately acquire Osborne's shares, but he accidentally obtained these shares when he took the Mandate of Heaven Foundation.To put it bluntly.Whether it is the stake in the Osborne Group, or the stake in Hammer Industries, or other companies, this is the unexpected joy of Hawke's harvest this time.Again, that's the same sentence.Hawke dislikes being an elder the most, especially the kind that has to control the eating, drinking, and Lazar of hundreds of people when he opens his eyes.That kind of big old man is not a real big old man.The real boss should be the kind of freewheeling person who can do whatever he wants, and he is a complete freewheeler.Even if it's Odin, it's not really a big old man.Throughout the entire Marvel Universe, in Hawke's heart, he thinks that there is only one real elder.Magneto!
Father-in-law......
Bah.Magneto can do whatever he wants, he wants to destroy humanity, he doesn't care about other people's eyes at all, and he can sleep wherever he wants, the kind of bastard who runs all over the ground.Of course.Hawke is the former who envy Magneto, and by no means because of the latter.Well.I still have a bit of a bottom line, at the very least, I shouldn't be able to run around with my own illegitimate children.Hawke thought to himself.Three rounds of drinking.Norman Osborne looked at Hawke, who was sitting across from him, looking like a friend or foe, and coughed, "Hawke, don't mind if I ask a question." ”Hawke shrugged: "Of course, any problem, Norman. ”Norman Osborne smiled."
As far as I know, the Paladin Foundation is a foundation on the European side.""
Yes.""
Hawke, how did you come up with the idea of taking over our shares in Osborne, sorry, but the issue of staking is a matter of privacy, but I didn't say it.""
No, no, no, there is no privacy."
Hawke smiled, waved his hand, looked at Norman, and said with a smile: "Norman, do you want to hear the main reason, or do you want to hear the secondary reason?"
”Norman was slightly stunned."
Isn't it a true cause and a false reason?""
I don't like to tell lies unless I have to, especially with friends.""
Haha."
Norman Osborne seemed very happy when he heard this, smiled and said, "Then the main reason first." ”Hawke smiled and said, "Gwen is in Osborne. ”Norman's expression froze.Hawke smiled and explained, "I haven't experienced the workplace, but my experience doesn't have to be less than that in the workplace, and there are some not-so-beautiful things in the workplace, and I don't want Gwen to go through it, so, I'm here." ”Norman nodded: "Convincing reason, what about the secondary reason." ”The corners of Hawke's mouth rose slightly, and he looked at Norman: "The Paladin Foundation is mine."
I didn't just buy the Paladin Foundation's stake in Osborne, in fact, I bought the entire Paladin Foundation. ”Yes.The Paladin Foundation is the organization that Sloan uses to manage the joint-stock companies in which the Mandate of Heaven has a stake.But......
After Hawke found out, he immediately asked Catherine to take over the Paladin Foundation for him with bodyguards from Russia and an accountant from Russia.One morning, one morning, one morning.Think of it as mistrust.Compared with the old man who believed that the Paladin Foundation had served Sloan before, and continued to serve him with peace of mind, Hawke believed in his own people more.It was not impossible for Catherine to betray him.Anyone can betray.The difference is only in the number of chips.It's just that, for now, and even in the decades to come, Hawke can't find anyone who can afford to make Catherine betray him.Again, that's the same sentence.Although Catherine is not his family, she has been working together for so many years, and Hawke has come to regard Catherine as his family like Lorna.When Norman Osborne heard Hawke's words, his expression changed a little more than before.No one knows the Paladin's finances better than Norman Osborne.Since he accepted Paladin's stake in Osborne, over the years, Norman, as a Wall Street person, knows very well which other companies have received Paladin's funds to let them take shares.Even, lacking financial support in Friends' Company, Norman Osborne has also been in touch with Friends' Company and the Paladin Fund.And now?
Norman thought back to the information about Hawke he had seen in the car at the time, and the confusion in his heart was almost the same as Gwen's.Where did Hawke get his financial resources?
But......
This thought only flashed through Norman Osborne's mind, where Hawke's money came from, and it had nothing to do with him.It's a great way to come through the regular way, which shows that he has lost his eyes.But if it is irregular?
That's even better.Norman Osborne came back to his senses, picked up the wine glass in his hand again, and looked at Hawke: "Hawke, do you think there is anything that needs to be changed in our group?"
”Hawke nodded: "Yes!"
”Norman was slightly stunned.Hawke laughed and looked at Norman Osborne: "I think our group should give some subsidies to some interns who have real materials and can help us, what do you say?"
This can be regarded as co-opting these people in advance, right?
”Norman reacted and said with a smile: "You're right, this does need to change, and now, talent is the most important thing." ”Hawke raised his glass."
Cheers!""
Cheers!"
