In Marvel's Kamen Rider Chronicles

When Norman Osborne took the investigation results from Richard, he opened them in a daze, and then saw a very familiar term.

city ​​name.

Norman Osborne looked at Richard, and Richard shrugged: "Don't look at me, I'm not sure whether the information inside is true, but to be honest, putting the responsibility on a bookstore manager, Tsk, the person who gave me the news must be mentally ill."

Norman Osborne looked through the information, and Richard on the side continued to chatter: "If you ask me, can you just ask Annie directly? Annie is from the Devil City. Although I personally think that the Devil City is just those damn A negative example introduced by politicians. The specific purpose is unknown, but anyway, I definitely don’t believe that a city is either a devil or a monster. No normal person would believe this kind of thing. Are you right? I received the news That’s when…”

Norman Osborne closed the document in his hand with a snap.

"Oh? Have you finished reading?" Richard suddenly became energetic.

Norman Osborne was smiling, but the veins on his forehead popped out: "No, it's just that you keep nagging next to me, and I can't stand it."

Richard immediately put his hand to his mouth and pulled the zipper with his hand, signaling that he would shut up.

Norman then looked at it again...

The information inside is the financial statements of Osborne Group in recent years, as well as linear statistical charts.

Norman frowned and looked at the direct cliff-like arc of descent, and pursed his lips.

Keep reading, the reasons are explained at the end of the information.

Well, Norman knows the reason.

The parade lasted for a whole year, which is very rare in this beautiful country.

[Another meaning is that parades are very common ~ after all, they are beautiful scenery]

Therefore, the Boston Parade is still a topic of conversation among people all over the United States.

The parade that lasted for a whole year had a huge impact on the businesses on both sides of the street in Boston.

As luck would have it, that street is full of high-tech companies. The office buildings, office buildings, and experimental bases of large biochemical and technology companies in Boston are all on that street.

Not to mention, even Osborne's branch in Boston, the biology building, the laboratory building, and the ecological park were all closed in order to save costs, and the employees were asked to stay at home.

But not having to pay employees does not mean that losses can be stopped.

Not to mention the building, the tax bureau doesn’t care how many days it’s not open throughout the year, or how many days it’s not on duty at all. You have to pay local taxes anyway, don’t you? If not, you can give it a try.

This is just a little bit.

The biggest problem is the maintenance of equipment for biological experiments and the handling of experimental organisms. Ha, speaking of this, it is not the future. If it is the future, if mice and monkeys in biological laboratories are euthanized in order to save costs, there will definitely be a group of them. Organizations such as "Animal Lives Matter" jumped out to make the Osborne Group even worse.

The current social environment is not that outrageous, but experimental organisms have to be disposed of, and the cost of disposing of the corpses is also a huge expense.

Then the equipment must be maintained and maintained.

It’s impossible to buy millions of dollars worth of equipment without paying tens of thousands of dollars a year in maintenance fees.

And these devices are not just one or two.

This adds up to yet another expense.

And the most important thing is that most of the experimental data processing required by the biological laboratory in New York can indeed be completed in New York, but there are definitely projects that require the cooperation of the experimental team in Boston.

In general, less goes in and less goes out...

It was a rushing flow like opening a floodgate to release water...

Of course, if you really want to say how huge the impact is, it will definitely not be the case.

It is impossible for the Osborne Group to fall down because of this. After all, this can only be said to be a small fight.

But you have to find someone to take responsibility. Capital doesn’t care whether you have these things or not.

Other members of the board of directors don't read this either.

They only look at the data.

Amberson, Norman Osborne's father, is now the talker of the Osborne Group.

Of course he was pushed out and took the blame.

Of course, it was impossible to be fired, but there was nothing wrong with being demoted to director. When Norman Osborne saw the news, he could only curse him verbally, but he would not feel anything wrong.

Because that's the rules of the game.

This is also a tradition of American imperialism. Many groups are named after family businesses. If you look deeper, you will find that the person in charge does not have the last name of the group.

Among them, emerging entrepreneurs are the main ones.

The Osborne Group is obviously also an emerging group.

They only started to exert their efforts after World War II, and they are definitely not as good as those century-old wealthy families of the American empire.

Closer to home, the information in Norman's hands was not detailed, just some rough introductions, and finally he placed the person behind the Boston Parade on an ordinary bookstore owner in Devil City, and it was conclusively confirmed that it was that owner who did it. .

The evidence is...the boss funded it behind the scenes.

Norman Osborne curled his lips in disdain.

This is clearly a false accusation and slander.

To take a step back, even if this boss really funds and sponsors the parade, then it is legal - yes, in the beautiful country, it is legal for you to contribute money and effort to the parade team. Of course, there are specific rules and regulations.

You have the nerve to pass the blame to an ordinary person. Isn't it because your officials in Boston are doing such a crappy job that there are so many bad things?

What does it have to do with an ordinary bookstore owner?

Forget it, it seems that what happened to my family was an unforeseen disaster. The Osborne Group was affected by the Boston Parade, and my father's position was no longer guaranteed. But in this case...

Norman Osborn raised his head, with some expectation - will his father have time to spend more time with him?

--------

"Ah!" A tragic wailing sounded in the alley. A humanoid spider monster walked out of the dark alley and disappeared in this neighborhood in a few jumps...

At this moment, what other people in Hell's Kitchen think about...

It's so common, no one thinks it's strange at all.

That's how it is in Hell's Kitchen at night. It should be said that they feel weird if they don't.

No one would want to come to this dark alley to find excitement.

……

"Creak!" The wooden door opened, and the spider monster walked in. Then, he returned to his human appearance. He closed the door, and then trembled and knelt on the ground...

“…O God, please have mercy on me according to your steadfast love, and wipe out my past according to your abundant mercy. Please wash away my sins and cleanse me from my sins. For I know my faults, and I sin abides..."

He knelt on the ground and kept praying out of his mouth, intermittent because of the trembling in his tone...

After a long time, he finally stopped trembling, put his hand on the silver cross pendant on his chest, and whispered in a heavy and sincere voice: "Amen."
