Chapter 264 Osborn's Dinner Invitation (Please Subscribe!!)
Hawke took a sip of the wine in his glass.

nodded.

"Good wine."

"This is also a gift from a friend back then."

Norman Osborn just took a sip, and after putting down his wine glass, he heard Hawke's praise, smiled and said: "If Hawke likes it, I still have a few boxes in the wine cellar of the manor, and you can come to the manor if you are free Be a guest."

He never liked drinking bourbon.

But Howard Stark back then liked to drink.

So, a long time ago, when Howard Stark came to his manor as a guest, he pulled a truck full of Thunder Bourbon exaggeratedly.

It's clearly agreed, so I don't have to bring wine every time I come here, which is very annoying.

result……

The following year, Howard Stark was involved in a car accident.

This is a sad story.

Norman Osborn thought of his old friend back then, and shook his head inwardly. While feeling a little melancholy, he also thought of himself.

He knew his physical condition, but he also knew that his only son, Harry, was unlikely to be like Tony Stark.

If he died, Harry could successfully take over his baton and continue to lead the Osborne Group forward. Frankly speaking, Norman felt that it would be very pleasant to go down to meet old friends.

but……

Harry can't!

Norman Osborn thought so.

How many boxes?

Thunder Bourbon?

Hawk raised his eyebrows and looked at Norman Osborn: "Then I will remember, this is an invitation, Norman."

Norman laughed: "Of course, anytime, even tonight."

Hawk also laughed, waved his hand and said, "Not tonight, I have arrangements for tonight, sorry."

He managed to come back from undercover. He didn't want to go home tonight, but went to have dinner with Norman Osborn?
Ah.

If Gwen doesn't fry, Lorna at home will.

After all, Lorna heard that he was coming back today, but after finishing her business, she ran to the supermarket and bought a lot of vegetables, especially Texas steak.

Wanting the housekeeper Lorna to buy such an expensive Texas steak, in the past, was something that could only be expected at Christmas.

Usually, if Hawk wants to eat, he either buys it himself, and then asks Lorna to help him cook it, or the most is to go to John's house next door.

In Lorna's words, we are orphans, we should plan ahead and save money, and what if we spend a lot of money, what if we are caught by someone.

Lorna's reason was very good, and Hawke couldn't find any point of refutation.

So, not tonight.

If Hawke can't come back tonight, Lorna will dare to change all the door locks for him before tomorrow, and then when he knocks on the door, say "Go home, you still know we have this home?"

Norman said with a smile: "Then tomorrow, how about, what dish Hawk likes, I will let the kitchen prepare it tomorrow."

Hawke didn't refuse. After thinking about it, he looked at Norman and said, "Beef, I prefer authentic Texas steak."

Texas steak, this is a delicacy that Hawke can't refuse.

Especially the authentic Texas steak.

Even if he eats it every day, every meal, Hawke won't feel tired of it.

"no problem!"

Norman waved his hand, and said directly: "The chef in my family is best at Texas steak, and I will definitely satisfy you, Hawke."

In fact, the chef in his manor is Italian.

but……

It's just a Texas chef, there are many in New York City, and he can find it in less than half an hour with a phone call.

spend money?

It's the little things that money can buy!

Norman said, "Then it's settled, tomorrow night."

Hawk spread his hands, leaned on the sofa, and said with a smile: "Of course, it's a deal!"

Just a few words.

Before coming here, Norman Osborn, who was not sure about Hawke's attitude, gradually let go of his small thoughts.

In a word.

Hawke has promised the dinner tomorrow night, at least it can show that Hawke may not be his friend yet, but he will definitely not be his enemy.

Of course.

It is also possible that there is a hidden knife in the smile, but at the very least, this is a good start.

Norman Osborn thought so, held the wine glass again, and raised his glass to Hawke.

Hawke smiled slightly, raised the glass in his hand, touched Norman, and drank half of the bourbon he drank.

Norman grabbed the bottle next to him.

Seeing this, Hawke wanted to snatch it, but at Norman's insistence, he pushed his glass to the front and asked Norman Osborn to pour him good wine.

Hawke also knew about Norman Osborn's concerns.

but……

Hawke had no idea.

He didn't buy Osborn's shares on purpose, but he got them by accident when he took over the Destiny Consortium.

To put it bluntly.

Whether it is the equity of the Osborne Group, or the equity of Hanmer Industries, or the equity of other companies, this is the unexpected joy of Hawke's harvest this time.

Again.

Hawk is the one who dislikes being a boss the most, especially the kind who wants to control the eating and drinking of hundreds of people as soon as he opens his eyes.

Such a boss is not a real boss.

A real boss should be the kind who can do whatever he wants, a complete follower.

Even Odin is not considered a real boss.

Counting the entire Marvel Universe, in Hawke's mind, there is only one who is the real boss.

Magneto!
old man...

Pooh.

Magneto can do whatever he wants, wants to destroy human beings, and doesn't care about other people's eyes at all. Moreover, he can sleep with anyone he wants, the kind of illegitimate child who runs all over the place.

Of course.

Hawk is envious of the former of Magneto, not because of the latter.

Ok.

I still have a bottom line, at least, I shouldn't have my illegitimate child running around.

Hawke thought so.

Three rounds of wine.

Norman Osborn looked at Hawke who was sitting across from him, who looked more friendly than enemy, and coughed: "Hawk, don't mind if I ask a question."

Hawk shrugged: "Of course, any questions, Norman."

Norman Osborn smiled.

"As far as I know, the Paladin Foundation is a foundation in Europe."

"Correct."

"Hawk, how did you come up with the idea of ​​taking over our Osborne shares? Sorry, the issue of shareholding involves privacy, so I can pretend I didn't say it."

"No, no, no privacy."

Hawk laughed haha, waved his hands, looked at Norman, and said with a smile: "Norman, do you want to hear the main reason or the secondary reason?"

Norman was slightly taken aback.
"Isn't there a true reason and a false reason?"

"If it is not necessary, I don't like to tell lies, especially to friends."

"Haha."

Norman Osborn seemed very happy when he heard this sentence, smiled and said: "Then the main reason first."

Hawke smiled and said, "Gwen is in Osborne."

Norman's expression froze.

Hawk smiled and explained: "I haven't experienced the workplace, but my experience doesn't have to be less in the workplace. I don't want Gwen to experience some not-so-good things in the workplace, so I come to gone."

Norman nodded: "A convincing reason, what about the secondary reason."

The corner of Hawk's mouth raised slightly, and he looked at Norman: "The Paladin Foundation is mine. I didn't just acquire the Osborne shares held by the Paladin Foundation. In fact, I acquired the entire Paladin Foundation. "

Yes.

The Paladin Foundation is used by Sloan to manage those institutions with joint-stock companies that the Destiny Organization has invested in.

but……

After Hawk knew about it, he immediately asked Ekaterina to take over the Paladin Foundation with Russian bodyguards and Russian accountants for him.

Early in the morning, the emperor and the minister.

Take it as distrust.

Compared to believing that the old man who served Sloan before the Paladin Foundation would continue to serve him with peace of mind, Hawk believed that his own people would come.

It is not impossible for Ekaterina to betray him.

Anyone can betray.

The difference is only the number of chips.

It's just that, for now, and even in the next few decades, Hawke can't find anyone who can afford to make Ekaterina betray him.

Again.

Although Ekaterina is not his family, after working together for so many years, Hawke already regards Ekaterina as his family just like Lorna.

After Norman Osborn heard Hawke's sentence [I didn't buy your shares, but the entire Paladin Foundation], his expression changed significantly more than before.

No one knows the financial power of the Paladin Foundation better than Norman Osborn.

Since he accepted the Paladin's shareholding in Osborne, over the years, Norman, who is a Wall Streeter, knows very well which other companies have received the Paladin's funds for them to invest in.

Even the lack of financial support in the company of friends is that Norman Osborn has also been a bridge between the company of friends and the Paladin Fund.

And now?
Norman recalled the information about Hawke he saw in the car at that time, and his confusion was almost the same as that of Gwen.

Where did Hawke get his financial resources?
but……

This thought just flashed through Norman Osborn's mind, where Hawke's money came from has nothing to do with him.

It's great that he came from a regular way, which shows that he was mistaken.

But what if it is irregular?
Even better.

Norman Osborn regained his senses, picked up the wine glass in his hand again, and looked at Hawk: "Hawk, do you think there is anything that needs to be changed in our group?"

Hawke nodded: "Yes!"

Norman was slightly taken aback.

Hawk laughed and looked at Norman Osborn: "I think our group should give some subsidies to some interns who have real materials and can help us. What do you think? This is also considered These people were brought in ahead of time, right?"

Norman came to his senses, laughed and said, "You're right, this really needs to be changed. Talent is the most important thing now."

Hawke picked up his glass.

"cheers!"

"cheers!"
