Chapter 223 Buying Dips Osborne Capital
Afterwards, Joko did not directly return to the temporary residence of the Hand to rest, but patrolled the territory with Ms. Bullseye, Colleen Winn, Death Girl, and even the Scarlet Witch Wanda and Polaris, planning to find a suitable place for his personal training place.
He wants to take his own "Women's Federation Organization" to train there in the future. Not only the girls and Jessica need to get used to their strength and superpowers, but Qiao Ke also needs to train more to tap his own potential.
Norman Osborn is the super criminal Green Goblin who killed tens of hundreds of innocent lives. After the news was officially announced, the stock of Osborn Group began to fall like an avalanche.
What's more, Exploration Aerospace Corporation's disaster made the Osborne Group on the verge of bankruptcy in just a few days.
After his father was arrested and imprisoned, Harry Osborn seemed to mature a lot overnight. He began to actively run around, selling shares and various factories, branches, etc., just to continue Osborne's family business.
Joko also quickly learned of Harry Osborn's series of operations for the family business, although most of the funds he obtained from the Hand were once again fully buying the shares of Stark Industries.
Although after this period of precipitation, the stock of Stark Industries, which closed the weapon department, fell to the bottom again, but Qiao Ke knew that soon Tony Stark would announce his research results on the Iron Armor and his identity as the idol hero Iron Man, and the stock of Stark Industries would soon rebound sharply.
He also contacted everywhere, sold the vibration gold in his hand to raise funds, and finally voted for Tony Stark. Joko also knew that he needed vibration gold to manufacture a better-performing steel suit, and finally contacted Tony Stark as a major shareholder of Stark Industries.
Therefore, in the end, Qiao Ke had to use all the funds he had collected from the Hand Association, as well as bank loans, to purchase more than 20% of the shares of the Osborne Group from Harry Osborn at the cheapest price.
After this period of turmoil, the assets of the Osborne Group have shrunk significantly, and all other shareholders have withdrawn their capital. Now the stock of the Osborne Group has fallen to the lowest point just like the original Stark Industries, even more miserably!
As a result, Qiao Ke became the second largest shareholder of the Osborne Group as a matter of course. At the same time, he also transferred several laboratories and a biological research and development department from the troubled Harry Osborn.
If it was a week ago, if an outsider wanted to obtain these things, he would have to pay at least a huge price of hundreds of millions or even more than a billion dollars.
But now, their value has shrunk by dozens or even hundreds of times, and those competitors of the Osborne Group are still eyeing them and trying to keep their prices down.
Anyway, according to the current situation of the Osborne Group, if you don't want to go bankrupt, you have to sell various assets.
But they underestimated Harry's self-willedness, and Jocko's ability to sneak in and take advantage of the opportunity!
And when Qiao Ke found the chief scientist of the biological research and development department of the Osborne Group, a guy named Kurt Connors, his mood became a lot better.
Although Harry kept reminding him that the other party was a money loser, at least he killed hundreds of millions of resources of the Osborne Group, but there was no result, and he didn't care too much.
At the same time, Qiao Ke also transferred an employee named Max Dillon, the future electric man, to his own banner, but Max Dillon was just a small electrician, Harry didn't take it seriously at all, in fact he didn't care about it.
Qiao Ke happened to have the opportunity to take over him now, but decided to slowly promote Max Dillon, first as a foreman, then as a supervisor, let him specialize in the management of electricians, and gave him some opportunities for promotion and development.
Because the value of the Osborne Group is constantly shrinking, and it is predictable that whether it is Exploration Aerospace, the biggest opponent of the Osborne Group, or other arms companies such as Stark Industries and Hammer Military Industries, they will not give it a chance to make a comeback.
Therefore, Harry Osborn must solve the immediate urgent need as soon as possible to bring the company back to life, even if it is lingering, it can be delayed as much as possible for a while.
However, Qiao Ke is quite satisfied. Compared with the equity of the Osborne Group, the genetic expert in white coat in front of him may be more valuable to him, because he is Dr. Lizard, one of the future rivals of Spider-Man.
Kurt Connors is a retired military doctor and a senior professor of biology. Because he lost a right arm in the war, he has been researching limb regeneration technology after leaving the army.
Currently, he is trying to develop a drug containing lizard serum based on the lizard's severed tail regeneration ability, so as to achieve the effect of severed limb regeneration.
Of course, his research has not made much progress, it is just a constant waste of resources and money.
The Osborne Group was not the first one he found to be taken advantage of. Before that, there were several big companies and big groups that took a fancy to his genius idea, so they warmly and proactively invited him to join.
But after so many years, he wasted a lot of resources and money from other sponsors, but had no actual research and development results, so he was fired again and again.
But this guy has a thick skin and a good mouth. Besides, this research is indeed very promising, so after he was fired last time, it won't take long before he can always find a new financial backer to act as a successor. Someone will always be persuaded by him, hoping to be lucky, thinking that the research on the regeneration of severed limbs is hopeful.
But after so many years, his research is still stuck on mice, without any progress at all, and his reputation as a money-losing product has already spread widely in the circle and is notorious.
A few months ago, when the news came out in the Osborne Group that he was going to pack up and leave, he tried to find a new financial backer, but unfortunately, he still found nothing so far.
So Dr. Connors was still a little nervous about Qiao Ke's coming and taking the initiative to find him, because he is currently in a very critical juncture.
He doesn't want to lose these resources, and it happens that for the Osborne Group, which is now in turmoil, getting rid of his big burden is an urgent act of relief.
In Dr. Connors' exclusive laboratory, after getting a general understanding of Dr. Connors' current progress and achievements, Qiao Ke can also figure out why so many big companies can't help kicking him after investing a huge amount of resources.
"So, you have now completed the regeneration of severed limbs from reptiles to mammals, and you are only one step away from the success of actually applying it to the human body?" Qiao Ke asked with a half-smile.
Looking at Qiao Ke who was full of doubts about him, Dr. Connors gritted his teeth. He knew that his reputation in the industry had long been stigmatized.
