Chapter 44 Speed Measurement
Everyone looked at Karl in unison.
Carl said without changing his face: "I have no opinion on marketing or anything, I just want to say one thing, Evan, Magic7 is running out of money." If you want to stock up on 300,000 yuan, plus the investment in advertising, the company needs to prepare at least another 100,000 dollars. ”
"A hundred thousand dollars?" Evans pondered for a moment and asked, "Is it on Alphabet's account, do you have ...... withdraw from Alphabet?"
"How...... Questions?" Evan asked casually when he saw that Karl was about to speak.
"Alphabet is a major shareholder, so it doesn't matter if it's borrowing or injecting capital... All you need to do is notify the two shareholders of Union Carbon and DuPont..."Carl shook his head, "It's just, Evan, why not take out a loan?"
"Loans?" Evan came to his senses, he had suffered a loss from a serious company, and Carl reminded him that Alphabet's funds needed to be kept for Chester's project, just in case. Magic7 is only used for practice, and the later expenses are only used for loans. Don't make it impossible to practice, but lose the golden egg of "Xerox".
Evan asked, "Carl, will Magic7 be able to borrow enough money?"
"No problem, with the plant and patents as collateral, Wells Fargo and Bank of California are willing to provide funding," Carr said. ”
It seems that Carl did his homework in advance, and finally became the general manager of this Magic7 in vain.
Wells Fargo and Bank of California, both of which have branches in Sacramento, are California's premier banks, and Evan met their presidents at last year's Christmas dinner.
Evan agreed to the loan.
After the meeting, it was still early, and Evan went to the House of Sylvia to watch Audrey dance for half a day.
Audrey's dancing has improved a lot, but looking at her slender body, Evan can't help but worry about her body, complaining that she hasn't eaten properly.
At dusk, Evan returned to the residence. As soon as I entered the house, I heard the frolicking of my sisters and the roar of Robert.
"Dora, Dorothy, give me back the Rubik's Cube!"
"Don't give, don't give, don't give, then, Dorothy!"
Evan walked into the living room and saw Robert standing in the middle, Dora and Dorothy on the left and right, the Rubik's Cube flying in the air, and Robert couldn't grab it.
"Then, Dora!" Dorothy laughed and threw the Rubik's cube.
"Horn!" Evan grabbed the Rubik's Cube with one hand, and threw it to Robert, who was about to cry in a hurry.
He glared at his two younger sisters, who were neither big nor small: "What are you playing, don't go and practice the piano soon." ”
After Robert got the Rubik's Cube, he sat down on the sofa without saying a word, and his fingers moved skillfully.
Evan glanced at Robert, then sat down beside him.
"Thank you!"
The sound is low and inaudible.
Evan shook his head indifferently.
Robert spun the Rubik's Cube in his hand quickly, and after a while, the Rubik's Cube returned to its original state.
As soon as Robert restored the Rubik's Cube, he immediately disrupted him, and then continued to devote himself to the restoration work.
Evan looked thoughtfully at Robert's flying hands, and suddenly asked, "Robert, how long will it take you to recover once?" ”
"Hmm...... I haven't measured it, maybe 30 seconds!"
This speed is not fast in Evan's opinion, he can do it himself when he is in good shape, and the world record of the third-order Rubik's Cube in the previous life has been brushed to 4.22 seconds. However, at the moment when the Rubik's Cube had just been invented, Robert, who had only been in contact with the Rubik's Cube for only half a year, could restore it in 30 seconds, which was already a good result. You know, as far as Evan knows, the championship of the first third-order Rubik's Cube tournament in "history" was only 22.95 seconds.
Evan thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to test it?"
Hearing this, Robert stopped moving, looked up at Evan, his eyes blinked, as if he was curious about what he was going to do?
Evan followed up and said, "If the test is fast enough, I'll give you a chance to make money!"
Evan tempted, Robert immediately nodded and said, "Really?
Evan took the Rubik's Cube from Robert's hand and said, "The rules are like this, you close your eyes first, I'll scramble the Rubik's Cube, wait until you have 15 seconds to observe, and then start the timer, you can start early, notify me before starting." ”
Rob nodded in understanding, and Evan began to prepare. He first shuffled the Rubik's cube and then untied the Hamilton Aeronautical Watch on his left wrist, which had a chronograph function and had been given to Carl on his birthday this year.
These were the only two birthday presents Evan received that day, the other one was from Audrey, a tie.
The Warren children don't have birthday parties after they turn 10 and don't do it again until they reach adulthood at 18.
Virginia did it in April of this year, and it was a grand scene, with all the leading figures in California coming. Linda, a good sister, also came from Berkeley.
Audrey also attended the party that day, and Evan was glad that there were no "happy scenes" during the period.
"Are you ready?"
"Ready!"
"So, open your eyes!"
With Evan's order, Robert opened his eyes, quickly picked up the Rubik's Cube and looked at it carefully, Evan stared at his watch, and after just ten seconds, Robert shouted: "Observe!"
With that, Robert's hand moved.
Evan followed closely by pressing the timer.
The pointer moved forward one by one, and the Rubik's Cube in Robert's hand gradually took shape.
"Bang!"
The restored Rubik's Cube was slapped by Robert on the desk.
"Stop!" Evan stopped, "I'll see how much time it takes...... 10…… 20…… 24 seconds!"
"Well, it's a little shorter than you said 30 seconds. ”
"Ahh Robert thought he could go a little faster, so he begged, "Evan, again!"
Evan nodded in agreement.
After a while, the results came out, 30 seconds.
"I made a mistake in the middle this time, don't count, come again!"
This time it was much better, Robert set a personal best of 23 seconds!
A second faster is also a big improvement.
After three tests, Robert wanted to continue, but Evan brought the watch back into his hand.
"It's unexpected, you practice first!"
With that, Evan walked over to the phone and made a call to the company.
He looked at the time, it was just past six o'clock, and Girard must still be in the company to change the plan.
As Evan had guessed, it was Girard who answered the phone.
"Girard, I have an idea, can you listen to it and see if it works?"
A few minutes later, Evan hung up.
Dora came out of the piano room and saw that Evan had just finished calling, and asked curiously, "Evan, who were you talking to on the phone just now?"
Evan shook his head, a hand pressed against Dora's head.
"Dora, do you want to go to Los Angeles and Hollywood?"
"Yes!"
"If you want to go, please me!"
