Location: Osaka, in the Osborne East Ocean branch building.
Chairman Yasuda's life in recent months has not been easy. As the actual leader of the Osborne Group's East Ocean branch. The man, who was nearly sixty years old, had begun to feel a little tired.
Although he had vitality that was completely disproportionate to his age (vitality was a weapon that ensured his success in business battles and workplace battles), this rapidly changing world was too overwhelming.
A law that existed in electronic goods was regarded by many people as the golden rule. That was Moore's law, which roughly stated that when the price was constant, the number of components that could be accommodated on an integrated circuit would double about every 18-24 months, and the performance would also double.
This formula revealed the explosive development of modern society. Whenever technology accumulated to a certain level, as long as a tipping point appeared, it would drive a huge change in the entire social class.
And this change was enough to change the entire structure of human life and the way society operated.
In the late 1970s, when Yasuda Eiji (Chairman Yasuda) had just started working. Business documents did not need to be delivered on the same day or the next day. In that era, a transnational business negotiation was a hard tug-of-war.
The submission and modification of various documents, especially those that were invalid for copying and could not be faxed, consumed a lot of time.
The emergence of FedEX raised the standards of people's requirements for express delivery. Because this company created the ultra-fast business document delivery standard that arrived the next day.
With the advent of the Internet era, if an email did not receive an effective response for more than 30 minutes, people would wonder if they had delivered it to the wrong mailbox.
In short, the human world was becoming faster and faster.
Two examples will not be repeated here, but it was not difficult for people to find that the emergence of some things, whether intentional or unintentional.
They were changing the world, changing the rules of the world and human society and living habits.
This kind of technological tipping point that was enough to change the pattern of the world was also called the turning point of human society. There were many turning points in human history. Because of the existence of these turning points, the human world was led into a new forked field and shaped modern society.
Whether it was paper, gunpowder, the discovery of atoms, or other discoveries.
Just like the previous two examples, Federal Express reduced the delivery speed from three to five days to one day. With the advent of the Internet, this time was compressed into seconds.
When an email is sent from the United States to China, it has to go through countless ports and long submarine optical fiber transmission before it is finally received in China. It takes at most a few dozen seconds, and this is under the condition that the network latency is very high.
In summary, while the technology of the human world was developing explosively, humans had also begun to infinitely magnify their speed. This is true for any job.
Yasuda Eiji began to feel that he couldn't keep up with the pace of this era. Especially his current company, Osborne Group. The company itself also began to push the turning point of the human world.
The work here was no longer the same as it was ten years ago. Yasuda was indeed getting old. But he refused to give up his rights.
The East Ocean Osborne Branch not only controls the Osborne Group's business in the East Ocean, but also controls the group's business throughout Asia. It was not an exaggeration to say that Chairman Yasuda was above tens of thousands of people.
As the leader of the East Ocean Division, he was bound to be welcomed and received warmly wherever he went. There was a place for him in every occasion. Even the Prime Minister of the East Ocean Division needed to seek his opinion when formulating economic policies.
As one of the largest capitalists in the country, some of Yasuda Eiji's decisions were enough to shake the economy of the East Ocean Division. It was precisely because he was given such powerful rights that Yasuda Eiji was so obsessed with his current position. He had a strong desire to stay in this position.
That was why he took the risk to arrange a meeting between Mariko and Harry. In his view, Mariko's request was almost impossible to refuse. Think about it, a gene that could quickly heal any wound and fight against all kinds of diseases.
As long as the Osborne Group mastered this technology, the whole world would go crazy for Harry. However, the news from Mariko was not very good. It seemed that her persuasion had failed.
Standing in front of the mirror, Chairman Yasuda tidied his gray hair. Maybe it was time to dye it black. He thought.
Now he needed to tidy up his appearance and then meet Harry Osborne. He needed to tell young Harry how valuable the opportunity provided by Mariko was.
"Sorry to disturb you, Chairman. Mr. Harry would like to invite you over. " Just as Chairman Yasuda finished dressing in his office and was ready to look for Harry. His private secretary informed him of the news.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded. "Got it."
Inside Harry's office, Harry was fiddling with the Newton Pendulum on the desk. Peter followed several technical officers to the East Ocean branch's research room. Only Li Jie accompanied Harry in the office.
"It seems that the East Ocean branch has been very lively recently." Li Jie said as he held a tablet in his hand and swiped across the screen.
"What did you find? My secretary group has just begun to audit the East Ocean branch's accounts and haven't found anything yet. "Harry fiddled with the Newton Pendulum and replied to Li Jie.
"Well, sometimes the information obtained from a legitimate relationship is less. At this time, we need some special channels. "Li Jie raised the tablet in his hand.
Li Jie had passed the news of a child who looked like Wolverine to the Innocence Society through a pipeline, asking them to look for Logen in the East Ocean and inform him of the news.
On the other hand, through Matt Murdock (Daredevil), the Innocence Society was looking for some clues about the Osborne Group's East Ocean branch.
Some of the news that Matt got was transmitted to Li Jie's tablet in a special encrypted way through Ceng Chu, who was far away in the United States.
"Well, a lot. I'm afraid there are problems in the weapons department and the biological research department. It seems that they took advantage of Mr. Norman's death and you just came to power to do a lot of things. "Li Jie hadn't finished reading the documents in his hand, so he didn't give Harry a complete answer.
But this news alone was enough for Harry to frown.
"Chairman Yasuda is here." While the two were talking, Yasuda Eiji had arrived at Harry's office.
"Mr. Harry, what can I do for you?" This man was always respectful in front of people, and people couldn't find any fault in his etiquette.
But it was hard to comment on him behind his back.
Harry glanced at Li Jie and motioned for him to speak first. Li Jie understood Harry's meaning and put down the tablet. "Hello, Chairman Yasuda, I am Mr. Harry's personal adviser, Jason Li."
Li Jie stepped forward and shook hands with Chairman Yasuda. "On the last trip to Kyoto, the meeting with Ms. Yasuda Mariko didn't seem to be in our plan."
Chairman Yasuda looked at Li Jie and said in a bureaucratic tone that wasn't arrogant. "That was a very meaningful meeting. Because Mr. Harry had declined all the invitations to meet with the Yasuda Consortium, he was forced to use this strategy. I apologize to Mr. Harry here. "
"I have overstepped my authority, Mr. Yasuda." Li Jie didn't give Yasuda Eiji too much face. "Mr. Harry should be the one to decide who Harry wants to meet, not his subordinates."
Harry sat behind the big desk and watched the confrontation between the two with a blank expression, but he smiled slightly in his heart.
"That's why I said this is a very impolite strategy." Chairman Yasuda bowed to Harry. "And I am doing this out of the public interest."
"Ms. Mariko has enough chips to make the Osborne Group treat her as a guest of honor. I don't understand why we refuse to accept her. Cooperating with the Yasuda Consortium has many advantages and no disadvantages. "
"The Yasuda Consortium is involved with the underworld in the East Ocean." Li Jie emphasized this point. This was not mentioned in the Yasuda Consortium report that Yasuda submitted to Harry.
"The country of the East Ocean itself has a special nature. In this country, big businessmen, especially local businessmen, can't avoid the problem of the underworld if they don't have a certain background, "Chairman Yasuda said tit-for-tat.
"And this problem is very clear to Mr. Norman in the past."
"So you want to use this method to remind us?" Li Jie couldn't help but laugh.
"This is not any malicious intention. I don't understand, as Mr. Harry's senior private consultant, why you, Mr. Li, repeatedly interfere with the actual operation of the company and excessive interference with Mr. Harry, "Chairman Yasuda said.
