Marvel Administrative Officer

Chapter 41
The [-]th Anniversary Reception of Bugle Daily came as scheduled.

The reception was chosen at the Hilton Hotel, which was Cheney's recommendation.

Jack came very early. As a boss who doesn't have many capable subordinates, he is also very helpless!
Fortunately, Jack's brief job at the city hall made him no stranger to the reception process.

After inspecting the preparatory work and pointing out a few deficiencies, he brought Cheney to the lounge.

"Did Congressman Kane, Hammer, and Obaday reply?"

The focus of this reception is trading, and the trading partners are these three.

"Member Kane and Hammer will attend the reception in person, and Obaday has not yet given a clear answer."

Jack frowned slightly, but then relaxed again.

Two of the three most important targets of this reception have already promised to come, which has exceeded expectations. As for Obaday, Los Angeles is too far away from New York, so he can only follow the fate.

"In addition, Osborne also promised to attend the reception." Cheney added.

"Osborne?"

The name made Jack a little surprised, and he confirmed it again,
"Norman Osborn?"

"Yes." Cheney nodded.

"That would be interesting."

Jack couldn't guess the reason why this rich man as famous as Tony participated in the reception, but it was obviously Norman who was looking for something, and he would always come to him.

"Anyone else special?" Jack looked forward to more surprises.

A lot of invitations were sent out at the reception, but Jack also knew that he was still a little transparent at the moment, and it was really a random event that someone would come.

"Mr. Lukes, and Mr. Mayor."

Jack was surprised again,

"Snader coming?"

"Yes, I have confirmed the itinerary with the mayor's office."

This is really an unexpected visitor. Although Jack also sent an invitation letter to Snard out of politeness, he never planned that the other party would actually come.

……

At 8:[-] p.m., the reception begins.

In the melodious accompaniment, JJJ delivered a brief congratulatory speech on behalf of the Daily Bugle, but the guests obviously didn't care what he said, and everyone's attention was focused on Jack.

As a new rich man, this is Jack's first appearance in New York's high society. Although the scale of the reception this time is not large, there are many people with ulterior motives.

JJJ's congratulatory speech had just ended, and when it was time for free activities, Norman Osborn took the initiative to find Jack.

Norman's height is about 180, he is about 40 years old, and he has a short cut, but his hairline has a tendency to move up. The most impressive thing is his eyes, which are as gloomy and fierce as vultures.

"Mr Murdoch, nice to meet you."

Norman's expression was serious when he spoke, which made it impossible for Jack to see where he was happy.

"Mr. Osborne, thank you very much for coming to the reception." Jack replied politely.

"Can you find a quiet place to chat for a while?" Norman went straight to the point.

"Of course, how about the balcony over there? No one should bother there."

Norman stretched out his hand, gesturing for Jack to go first.

The actions of Jack and Norman attracted the attention of the audience, after all, Jack is the protagonist of the reception tonight.

The two came to the balcony. There was a floor-to-ceiling curtain blocking the sight of others. It was a rare and quiet place in the venue.

Jack collected himself, and spoke first,

"Mr. Osborne, I don't know what you need from me."

Norman still has a serious face,

"I would like to invite Mr. Jack to visit the Osborne Group and consider investing in Osborne."

"May I ask why you came to me to invest? Mr. Osborne, in fact, I don't know much about biotechnology, or even know nothing about it. I don't think I can help the Osborne Group."

Jack was a little confused.

"I need your funds."

Ha, this is because of his enviable cash flow.

"Mr. Osborne, I am very touched by your frankness, but I still need to consider whether to invest or not. As I just said, I don't know anything about biotechnology. Maybe I should choose a time to go to Osborne Group to learn about the corresponding Case."

A relaxed smile finally appeared on Osborn's gloomy face,

"Osborne welcomes you anytime."

Then Osborne left the balcony and continued to look for prey.

Obviously, although Jack was his preferred target, he was by no means his only target. There were several other investment company bosses at the reception. There were too many such people on Wall Street in New York.

After Norman left, Jack followed him out of the balcony. Osborn was just an accident, and today he also has his own goals.

Holding a wine glass, Jack called Cheney, and under his guidance, he walked slowly towards Senator Kane.

This is not the first time the two have met. At the last corn tableware promotion meeting, the two also chatted about basketball.

"Mr Kane, thank you for coming."

"Oh, Jack, you are too polite. In fact, I like to get along with young people, which makes me feel younger." Kane laughed, and then asked, "Have you watched football recently?"

"I don't have time to go at the moment, you know, I've been busy recently." Jack said politely.

"It's understandable, but no matter how busy you are at work, you must pay attention to your life. After all, work is just work."

When Congressman Kane said the word "work", he pronounced his words heavily, which made Jack suspect that the other party was trying to imply something.

"Mr. Congressman, in fact, I have a document in my hand that involves the pollution of a well-known company. I know that Mr. Congressman has always been concerned about environmental protection issues, so I want to hand over this document to you."

Councilor Kane made an exaggerated expression of disgust, and then laughed again: "Now is the time for drinking, we should talk about things other than work, but my office will be open for you at any time."

Jack nodded. This is a basic consensus, which is a good start.

After chatting some gossip with Congressman Kane, Jack found Justin Hammer again. He is a bit busy tonight, so he must hurry up.

In fact, Jack's first choice today was originally Opadry. As a shareholder of Stark Industries Group, of course he thought of his own family when there was a good thing. Jack hoped to contact or make friends with Stark Industries Group through the reception. In the end, he still didn't come. Perhaps in the eyes of the Stark family, Jack is still just a small role.

Fortunately, Jack had a backup plan.

That is the Justin Hammer in front of him.

Hammer's fortune has not been long, and everyone in the United States knows that he is a deep imitator of Tony.

Imitate Tony's clothes, imitate Tony's style, imitate Tony's products...

But not everyone is Tony Stark.

Hammer has to thank Tony, the imitator, for being able to make a living in New York because of the waywardness of the original.

"Look who this is? Our upstart in New York, the eldest son of the Murdoch family, Mr. Jack Murdoch!" Hammer exaggeratedly introduced to the people around him, and then he whispered humorously He said, "Jack, didn't you invite beautiful women to today's reception? This will make the reception very monotonous."

Jack smiled politely, "Mr. Hammer, this is the first time I've arranged a reception as the host. If there are any deficiencies, I will correct them next time."

"Oh, the first time? Everyone has a first time. My first time was in high school. It was a girl with long brown hair." Hammer laughed loudly, as if he had told a good joke.

The people around laughed like cheers.

Jack frowned. He really didn't like this guy's style. Compared with Tony, this guy was really a poor imitator, but Jack had to suppress his emotions and have a good chat with him.

"Mr. Hammer, in fact, I have something to ask you, maybe we will have a chance to cooperate."

Hearing Jack's words, Hammer seemed to have heard a big joke, he was shaking with joy,
"I heard something, Mr. Jack wants to cooperate with me, do you know how the pistol is fired? Do you know what the caliber of 105mm means?"

Hammer paused for a moment, his face became serious, and he took a reprimanding tone, "Stop messing around, Jack, print your newspaper well, maybe tonight I will have a late-night meeting with a certain girl, and you can send your reporter Go hang out, believe me, it will increase your newspaper sales."

After speaking, Hammer left with a mocking expression.

Jack doesn't understand how he offended the super impersonator, but he understands that he's a joke.

Many of the gentlemen at the reception heard Hammer's sarcasm, they whispered earnestly, and some even showed mocking smiles.

Faced with all this, Jack was very calm, really calm. Although he should have been furious, in fact he didn't.

Who would be mad at a clown?
At this time, a man who was not tall but extremely powerful came over.

It's Snyder.

he asked calmly,

"Want to chat?"

　Ask for recommendations, ask for collections.

　　Some readers said that there is a problem with the sense of substitution
　　Ok

　　I think it's a very constructive question
