In the evening, in the ACE hotel parking lot, Evan and Carl sat in the car.

"Boss, is there anything else you would like to instruct?"

Carl looked apprehensive, afraid of messing up the dinner.

Evan shook his head: "Everything that needs to be said has been said, and you can play the rest by yourself." ”

"It's just a dinner party, you don't know how many times you've been to this kind of event, you should have the experience to be able to deal with it. ”

Carl said with a bitter face: "Can participating and hosting be the same thing?"

"It's one thing, small scenes, no fuss," Evan said. ”

Carl reluctantly washed his face with his hands, and the matter had come to this point, so he could only accept his fate.

"You are the general manager, this kind of work will be indispensable in the future, and it is a good thing to experience it a day earlier. ”

"Okay, the time difference is too much, you can go up. I have to go back, too. ”

"Okay......" Carl tightened his tie, took a deep breath, and pushed the door to get out of the car.

Through the car window, Evan and Carl shook their hands and said, "Carl, take out the chic way you communicate with women, don't look like a junior brother." ”

With that, Evan rolled up the window, and the car started.

Karl stood where he was, and after a while Elizabeth the assistant came over.

"Sir, the representative of the Dumont laboratory is arriving. ”

Carl came back to his senses, "Let's go." ”

Before the production of its own picture tube was built, Dumont Laboratories was the most important partner, and its representatives were present at the dinner, which deserved to be greeted by Carl himself.

The Dumont Laboratories is a powerful vice president, a close associate of Chairman Alan Dumont, who has given Applied Physical Systems the same attention.

Among the other invitees, local California companies such as Kaft Wood (which supplies mahogany shells) and Silva Metals (which supplies copper and other wires) that belong to the supply chain were also in person.

One of the purposes of today's reception dinner is to connect with partners, and the second is to show the strength and potential of the company, so that partners can go on with the company in a down-to-earth manner.

In addition to eating, drinking and socializing, the dinner also arranged three programs, one of which was to award awards to partners, what are the best suppliers, the best channel providers, the most honest partners, etc., all varied, but basically a gimmick. It's basically just a nice name, and there are no substantial rewards.

Another program was a presentation of the results, in which Karl, as the general manager, publicly reported the company's operating data for the year to its partners. Of course, his report is a bit special, and the data he gives is not about how many products the company sold and how much money it made this year, but it is listed as follows:

"This year, we consumed XX cubic meters of mahogany......"

"We used XX tons of copper and XX ...... resistors"

"Our transport fleet traveled a total of XX kilometers and consumed XX gallons of fuel......"

"Our factory consumes XX kilowatt hours of electricity, which is equivalent to XX calories of food ......"

This kind of pants and fart narrative is not the main thing, but also to let the supplier groups, channel providers and banks present have an intuitive understanding - they only need to transfer this data to know that the application physical system company really produces so many products, and the products are selling well.

At the same time, Karl sent a signal at the end of the report - this year is just the beginning, the next year will be better, our car is driving so fast, some people want to get in the car, do you want to get off?

Get out of the car at this time and be stupid for others?

Since you don't want to get off, it's easy to do, you are a supplier, Carl chatted with him about the quality requirements of the supplier's products, you are a channel dealer, Carl talked with him about the joint construction of after-sales service, you are a bank, uh, we have enough money for the time being, let's talk about the loan......

Carl spent most of the dinner on these things.

The last program is also awarded, but the object of the award is the company's employees. The awards are also abundant, including innovation awards for R&D, quality awards for workers, struggle awards, and most valuable employee awards for sales. Awards are available for individuals and groups. These awards are not only honors, but also a lot of bonuses, the highest innovation award is given to 10,000 dollars, and the lowest struggle award is also given 1,000 dollars, which is several times the salary of the winner.

The worker who originally won the award was still a little reluctant - he was forced by the company to rent a formal suit, and he was instantly overjoyed after receiving the bonus.

Just as Carl was fighting his spirits and his guests, a dinner party of the same nature was being held in Sacramento, hundreds of kilometers away. The organizer is the Magic Seven Company, and the host is Davidson.

This kind of dinner party is already familiar to Davidson and the Magic Seven Company, and it is almost customary.

This is also the third time since the establishment of the company.

At the same time, the big bosses of the two companies are at home leisurely arguing over a plate of Italian-style margarita pizza.

"The dough is a little too salty, the cheese is a little less, and the tomato sauce is just ......"

"Ahh

The main owner of the review was kicked in the foot and let out a scream of pain.

Chef Audrey ignored Evan's resentful eyes and said, "Eat and keep your mouth shut." ”

"Audrey, you see, the mouth is not just for eating, but for speaking is one of its three vocations, and you can't deprive it of that function," said Evan. ”

Audrey looked at Evan suspiciously: "Three vocations?"

EVAN POINTED TO PIZZA, HIS OWN MOUTH, AND AUDREY'S LIPS, AND SAID THREE WORDS AT THE SAME TIME: "EAT, SPEAK, KISS." ”

Then Evan blinked, looked at Audrey, and pouted exaggeratedly, "Honey, do you want to come?"

Audrey blushes, then picks up a slice of pizza and gagged Evan's mouth.

Although the two have lived together, and the number of times they roll the sheets is not once or twice, they still can't stand it and blush when facing Evan's teasing.

"Hmm!" Evan was creamy from the pizza, and a piece of tomato fell on him, "Ah, Audrey, don't blame me. ”

It's not easy to wash clothes with cream, and Audrey does the laundry.

Audrey gave him a blank look and threw a tissue over, "Yes, it's all my fault." ”

"Don't wipe it yet. ”

Evan took the tissue, but didn't do it immediately, the place where the tomato rolled was a little special, on his inner thigh.

He looked up at Audrey, "That, dear, you can wipe it for me......"

"Why do you want me to ......?"

Audrey sensed the ill-intentioned look in Evan's eyes, bit her lip, and stared at him wordlessly for a moment.

After a while, Evan let out another wolf howl.

"Honey, I don't want to learn from Ginny, so ......"
