American comics: Becoming the god of technology from Osborn

Chapter 18 Harry: I invested in this project
"Dear visitors, I am the receptionist Li Qianhuan. Please allow me to introduce you... Miss Boz? Why are you here?"

Qian Huan, who hadn't seen a stranger for more than a month, seemed particularly excited. However, when she saw Pepper among Harry's group, the expression on her face suddenly froze.

Tony is a hands-off boss, and all matters big and small at the Stark Expo are taken care of by Pepper. They met Pepper when they were discussing the site selection for the exhibition hall. They are not familiar with each other, but they are definitely not strangers.

Qian Huan's mind raced, "Miss Boz is so busy every day, she definitely doesn't have time to be a tourist, and she has already seen the exhibits here... Could it be that!"

A horrible possibility suddenly occurred to her.

"Could it be that there are too few visitors here, wasting so many display space resources, or there are too many people complaining about mutants not being allowed to participate in the exhibition, so she decided to take back the exhibition hall today?"

Thinking of this, Qian Huan's originally enthusiastic expression suddenly turned negative.

"I was showing a guest around the expo today, and I just happened to come in here and take a look. This is Mr. Harry Osborn, and he seems to be very interested in your exhibits."

Pepper explained with a smile.

"Ah? Oh! That's good, that's good."

Upon hearing this, Qian Huan's expression instantly took a 180-degree turn.

"Don't be so impatient, you almost scared our tourists, Qian Huan."

At this time, Angel and others came over, scolded Qian Huan, and then welcomed Harry.

"Welcome, Mr. Osborne. I am Warren Worthington, the director of this exhibition hall. The person next to me is Dr. McCoy and our image ambassador Ellie."

"I know a few of you, the heir of the Worthington family, the famous Dr. Hank McCoy, and the talented young singer Ellie Blair. The X-Men are indeed full of talents, and each of them is a well-known figure."

Harry praised generously, and especially when he saw Hank, his gaze stayed on him for a longer time.

The Beast, Hank McCoy, looks furry and naive on the surface, but he is one of the eight smartest people on Earth, with wisdom not inferior to Tony Stark and Bruce Banner. Almost all the high-tech equipment of the X-Men are his work.

"So, what's your first exhibit you want to show me?"

Harry asked.

"Let me be your guide. Please come over here."

The angel made a gesture of invitation and led Harry and the others to a row of display cases on the right.

There are more than a dozen scroll-like objects on this row of display cabinets. They are completely transparent and look a bit like glass.

The scrolls vary in size, with the largest being nearly half a meter long and the smallest being less than the length of a palm.

The angel picked up one of the palm-sized scrolls and unfolded it. The transparent scroll instantly turned into a rectangular screen!
The display is surprisingly good, with impeccable brightness and color, and excellent smoothness during touch operation.

"This is a flexible screen that Worthington plans to launch next year. It can be bent at will without affecting the display effect. It can be used in various electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, monitors and TVs."

Having said this, the angel turned his gaze to the beast, indicating that the professional content of explaining the design principles would be left to him.

"Our flexible screen uses..."

The beast nodded and continued what the angel said. "It's a very good product, but the material cost of the screen is too high. Also, if the screen is just bent, it's fine, but if it is folded in half multiple times, it will easily cause the display system to malfunction, and the service life will be greatly reduced."

After listening to the beast's explanation, Harry said without thinking.

"Mr. Osborne is also researching flexible screens?"

The Beast and the Angel were surprised to see that Harry could point out the biggest shortcoming of the screen after only listening to the basic explanation once.

Only at this point did Harry notice that he had understood the Beast's professional explanation so easily and expressed his own views naturally.

It was obvious that he didn't think so quickly some time ago.

"I know a little bit. The Osborne Group had a similar plan before, but it failed at the time."

Harry waved his hand casually, thinking to himself, "All the changes seem to have started from eating the fruit of knowledge. In the past month, my ability to understand and think seems to be gradually increasing, especially in the technology related to androids."

It seems that the Fruit of Knowledge does not just allow Harry to obtain some scientific and technological knowledge, it also strengthens Harry's intelligence bit by bit. This subtle enhancement is not very obvious and is not as simple and crude as directly granting all knowledge.

How far will Harry's intelligence grow over time? Is there a limit? Is it possible for it to grow indefinitely?

These cannot be determined at the moment, but they still make Harry full of expectations for the future.

Harry played with the flexible screen for a few moments and then put it down. Seeing his actions, the angel thought that he had no interest in the flexible screen and suggested that they go to the next exhibit.

"Mr. Osborne, we have many completely different types of exhibits. Please follow me to the next booth..."

"Not urgent."

Harry shook his hand and said calmly, "I've invested in your project."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience fell silent.

It took the angel a while to recover. He asked in disbelief, "What did you mean?"

"The shortcomings I just mentioned are just nitpicking. In fact, I am very optimistic about this screen. It can be bent at will and even rolled up, and the display and operation are not affected. It is the only one in the world. Of course, I want to get in on it."

Harry smiled and said, "Of course, if Worthington is a big company and doesn't need my investment, then just ignore what I said."

"No, no, no, you misunderstood me. We very much welcome your investment. No, we are extremely grateful that you are willing to invest!"

The angel suddenly became emotional.

"There are too few people in the world who are willing to cooperate with mutants. Forget about investing. If ordinary companies hear that a mutant is a senior leader in a company they have already signed an order with, they will refuse to complete the order without hesitation, even if they have to pay a high penalty."

"There are also some small companies that are struggling to attract investment everywhere, but just because the companies willing to invest are mutants, they would rather risk the company's dissolution and dozens of people losing their jobs than accept the mutants' 'handouts'."

“Maybe in your opinion, you are just investing in your favorite project as usual, but for us, this means a lot!”
