Chapter 144 The Dilemma of Another Mr. Li (still owes 5 chapters)

Peter is not Spider-Man, so Martin Lee needs to get in touch and get to know him again.

In many versions, he is Spider-Man's old enemy, Kingpin's opponent, and in a few cases the enemy is the Osborn Group.

Martin's "financial industry" emerged eight years ago, during the last hurray of the U.S. housing market. In fact, it seems to be around the same time that United Construction Company was founded.

In New York, being engaged in "finance" and "real estate" almost means that they are gang leaders.

Considering that he has now become a hot potato, but Martin still contacts him in this way, the financier may not be in a good situation.

Martin said warmly: "Considering that our last names are the same, I will call you by your first name. I hope you don't mind."

"of course not."

"You have strong technical ability, but you suffered a disaster because of your interns. I deeply regret this. If it's convenient, I would like to know what your plans are in the future?"

"At present, the side effects of lizard serum cannot be eliminated, but that does not mean that there are no other application methods. I will continue to invest in research."

"But you need money." Martin found the starting point. "With all due respect, the court today only said 2.34 million US dollars, but the final loss will double."

Lear raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

"You are a competitor of the Osborne Group, and you are in the lead - they are still happy to make a small stumbling block, not to mention that the government is happy to use this stumbling block."

This is a bit nonsense - Lille immediately realized that Martin was steering himself against the Osborne Group.

Because there is no need for the Osborne Group to stumble, the city government itself will ask Lille to "reimburse" it.

Lear nodded slightly: "That's true. For example, clean up the areas that are not correct in the accounts."

Martin smiled: "It seems you understand. Let me just say it bluntly. The environment is not good and we are all the same. Do you think this technology can make money? I can invest."

"Yes, and I can make a lot of money - I can sell 10% of the company's shares, provided that we need to pay the amount of compensation."

"Too little, not enough."

Lear added: ". Let me add another piece of information. The matter in Laboratory 3 is under investigation. We are the technical support consultants of the NYPD."

Martin nodded: "The research laboratory sponsored by the Osborne Group - this is a point that can be hyped, but the matter has not been finalized yet, and it is not enough."

not enough?

Lille thought for a while and said: "Martin, you may have no idea what I mean by 'a lot of money', so let's sign an agreement.

In the next three weeks, I will provide you with 1,000 units of whole blood. If it cannot be completed, I am willing to pay compensation. You decide the price. "

Martin was stunned.

The minimum amount of blood required is 1 unit of blood per person at a time. In other words, this is equivalent to finding 1,000 people to donate blood within these three weeks.

The current average market price of a unit of blood is US$300, which means that Lille will provide whole blood worth at least US$300,000 in the next three weeks!

Blood supplies are no different than other medical supplies. Even if they are used a little bit, they will definitely exceed this price——

The key is that Lille only has a broken laboratory.

"If that's the case." Halfway through thinking, Martin raised his head and saw that Lear was quite calm.

He has the ability to be very sensitive to people's emotions and can even control people's happiness, anger, good and evil.

Just when he wanted to test the waters, he instinctively felt that it was best not to try.

"Well, I originally wanted to ask for more benefits, but since you are so honest, I can't be left behind. But I'm curious, aren't you going to negotiate more terms with me?"

It wasn't until this moment that the atmosphere really eased - before that, the willingness of both parties to cooperate had not been truly achieved.

Seeing that Martin is not pushing the envelope, Lille currently believes that Martin is still worthy of cooperation.

So he said: "Hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation is already a lot. Besides, it's not just about money, it also depends on your influence in Chinatown.

Now that we have confirmed our cooperation, let me put it bluntly. I think 10% of the shares is quite generous, and it is the same for you and me.

If you want anything more, I'll just say no.

My situation seems difficult, but my development prospects are quite good. Once I tell the story, there is no shortage of collaborators.

As for finance, Martin, let me put it bluntly, without further industry support, your financial empire has reached its limit.

As the subprime mortgage crisis recedes, your living space will only get smaller and smaller. "

This sounds a bit contradictory. Why will Martin's industry shrink when the subprime mortgage crisis subsides? This is mainly a matter of industrial layout.

Martin's industry is not very profitable, it relies on its large scale.

Relying on several Chinatowns and Asian settlements as the base camp, the order of the base camp is established under the dual maintenance of sweatshops and gangs.

Sweatshops can create many jobs and have a slight advantage in political operations, but the profits are pitifully small, so they must rely on gangs to complete their rule. In other words, ruling gangs is the basis for maintaining sweatshops.

This kind of order has resulted in two members who are highly bound to him in the 150-person New York Assembly.

However, as the financial crisis has passed and high-tech industries have entered a period of development, everyone's assets are growing faster than yours, which means you are losing money.

It's equivalent to assets shrinking.

When Lille was talking to him, he had already looked through all the relevant corporate annual reports that he could find. He thought that Martin was on fire now -

Martin has only two options, either to expand high technology, or to annex other gangs and violently expand the territory.

However, he couldn't handle Jin Bin in the latter, and there was no high-tech company to play with in the former. The reasons for the two were somewhat similar - he belonged to an ethnic minority, and he was the easiest to handle among the ethnic minorities.

If he hadn't brought along other Asians and had super powers, it would have been basically impossible to establish such a financial and criminal organization.

Lear's words were very confusing, making Martin a little unsure - does the financial empire you are talking about include my other industries?

Before he could react, Lille continued: “We are natural allies, Martin, and you have to realize that.

Just like what you brought to me was not just money, what I brought to you was also biological products - I also have a company, and this company has greatly reduced the cost of public security. "

Another seemingly contradictory statement.

He checked Chinatown's gun ownership rate, crime rate and illegal drug dealing case rate, and found that they were not high.

On the contrary, some large industries such as financial companies, real estate companies and banks have a much higher probability of problems - Martin and Kingpin are obviously very different in choosing crime targets and industrial layout.

Both relied on people to maintain the empire, but Kingpin relied on providing shady white-glove services to his superiors, using violence and brutal suppression on his subordinates, and dividing the spoils among his own people. The importance of money is self-evident.

Martin relies more on his superpowers, so he can attack more wealthy people and competitors. He has no allies at all and his men are all small soldiers.

There is no need for a large criminal industry to ensure the "employment rate" of criminals, and the transformation will be faster.

"This is indeed a good thing." Martin said meaningfully, "You are deeper than you seem, but you chose to continue to keep in contact with, and even hire, Peter Parker, the troublemaker, after the incident. Why?"

"There are a lot of reasons - you can look at it as I think the benefit he can bring in the future is greater than the loss this time.

My lawyer also asked me why I didn't cut him clean and get rid of all the spotlight and attention. "

This is also Martin's real problem - an underage brat who made such a big mistake can't even be tolerated by his boss, so it's normal for him to be fired.

Lille was also quite familiar with such operations, so he understood their questions and continued to explain:

". But then I thought about it. First of all, I am one of the sponsors of the laboratory, and I also tacitly approved Peter to become an intern, so if he makes a mistake, I am also responsible. I don't want to be an irresponsible person."

If there is a problem in the company, just dismissing the intern or contract worker directly would seem a bit irresponsible and perfunctory.

Again - given the choice, Lille is reluctant to return to this approach.

"If something goes wrong this time, let go of this one. If something goes wrong next time, let go of that one. Every time, you have to let go of one person——"

Just abandon everything for the safety of your assets, build yourself a cool vault, and then sit on it all day long admiring your money?

I'm not that kind of asshole.

Peter did something wrong and stood up to bear the consequences. He was able to bear the consequences, learned a lesson, and had the opportunity to help the NYPD restore the true truth about the murder and atone for his sins.

I believe he can get better, my partner also believes he can get better, and the court also believes he can get better after education. In short, I hope this trend of improvement comes true. "

"You choose the people who believe in you, and you want good things to happen, simply put," Martin concluded.

"Yes, I hope good things come true."

After hearing this, Martin laughed - a true heartfelt laugh, not a laugh, but a feeling that Lear said it well and sincerely, too sincerely to be true.

He took out a glass and red wine from the wine cabinet in the car, and while pouring the wine, he said: "My parents would comfort me like this when I was young, telling me that when I grow up, good things will come true.

But when I get rich, they will never see it. "

".I regret."

"My eternal regret - we should have known each other years earlier, there is an idiom in my hometown"

"It's too late to meet you." Lear smiled and took the wine glass.

Martin looked surprised: "I thought you were a native American."

"I like to study, and the scope of study also includes excellent culture - so I don't really like red wine. We can have tea next time."

"I remember - the tea in my hometown is very good. I'll let you try it next time."

The two raised their glasses, and Martin said: "Then I hope we can work together to make good things happen."

After a drink, the car arrived in Hell’s Kitchen.

The moment Lille got off the car, Martin's hand suddenly turned black and white--

He originally didn't want to use his ability, but he felt that a person who believed that good things would come true would have such a deep scheming mind - to put it harshly, Lille's whole person seemed to him to be extremely contradictory.

People with good intentions will almost always make innocent mistakes; but people with sophisticated means and deep thoughts will never say or do these things.

At least that's what he thought, so he wanted to know a little more about Lille.

His instinct told him not to reverse Lear's good and evil attributes, but with proper understanding it shouldn't be a big problem.

This kind of energy will allow Martin to slightly feel the negative emotions buried in Lear and feel his heart to a certain extent, without causing him to be completely reversed between good and evil.

The moment the negative energy inadvertently came into contact with Lear, Martin's expression changed dramatically, his whole body jumped, and the driver was stunned.

Martin stared at Lear closely through the rearview mirror, fearing that the negative energy would trigger a bigger reaction——

But fortunately, nothing seems to have changed in Lille.

".It's okay, keep driving."

[Extreme thoughts brought about by negative energy have been greatly eliminated]

[Negative energy dissipates. 】

Lear's expression remained unchanged - he looked at the car driving away, thinking that this kid still couldn't help but use his super power.

But he thought that Martin would directly give him a reverse of good and evil, and then figure out his own psychology, and he didn't know why he just touched him lightly.

Maybe Martin is still in his early stages and is not as versatile as he was in his mature stage?

It just so happened that Lille also tested whether the negative energy that is theoretically a product of technology has any impact on him.

The answer is, almost none.

Behind him, Lear heard the sound of spider silk shooting out, and it was obvious that Gwen was behind him.

He turned around and saw the girl wearing a white battle suit clinging to the wall.

"What's the matter?"

"Well there's a lot of things, actually - first of all I want to thank you for not giving up on Peter, he's going to get better."

"If I remember correctly, you said you weren't familiar with each other."

"You're not familiar with it! I'm just praising you for setting the right example for the city!"

Lear looked at Gwen who jumped up and thought to himself that the little girl just couldn't hold her breath, so why was she so anxious.

Gwen added: "If you don't talk about this, you will..."

"Stop asking, I won't answer you even if you ask. Didn't I also explore your true identity? If I were you, I would pay more attention to the case of Laboratory No. 3.

Solving this case will be very helpful in reducing the sentence, don't you think? "

"Of course I know that - but why should I focus on helping someone I don't know."

“Set the right example to the city.”

Gwen paused for a moment, and the two big eyes of the suit continued to change, and slowly swung their spider threads to Lille.

"You deserve a beating for what you say, has anyone ever said that?"

"No - I'm just telling the truth, why do I deserve a beating?" Lear raised his hand, "Is there anything else? I'm really worried right now."

"No more." Gwen hung up the spider silk and then landed on the street lamp. "I am also very busy. Do you think I am not busy?"

"I didn't say that. You should be a voice changer, really."

"You don't need to teach me!"

Gwen slipped away while dangling the thread, and Lille thought it was quite funny - it felt like teasing the teenage daughter of the old Wang family next door.

Looking at Gwen walking away, Lear remembered that many fan works in his previous life liked to fall in love with Gwen, which made this girl become the wife of all worlds.

But Lille really doesn’t have that idea about Gwen - isn’t it perverted for a social person of a psychological age to find a college student or even a high school student to fall in love with?

At least he has to be a social person like V.

Why did you think of this?

Leal shook his head.

[Unstable energy is about to explode]

I touched a big one at work today
