Chapter 121: Vidak's Progress (This chapter is a heartless and ruthless addition for book friends, happy birthday)
Evan took the folder handed over by Vidak, didn't look at it in a hurry, but first looked at the four heroic ladies, and said softly: "There is no need for testing, you can introduce yourself separately." ”
Hearing Evan's request, the one standing at the head of the line among the four glanced at Vidak, and while Verdak nodded, he walked up to Evan and said, "Evan, their information is at the top of the folder." ”
Evan opened the folder and looked at it as he motioned for them to begin.
"My name is Isla......"
"My name is Tami......"
"My name is Simran......"
"My name is Juana......"
The four of them were introduced in turn, exactly in order of height from tall to short, and everyone didn't say much.
None of the four of them had a good-looking face, and in Evan's eyes, they could probably get a passing grade. However, everyone is in good physical condition and must have been fully trained.
However, Juana is the only one of the four who has bronzed skin, and the other three still maintain a certain amount of fairness.
That's because Juana is from California's neighbor Mexico, and she has dark-skinned ancestry.
After a brief chat with the four of them, Evan divided them into two groups and arranged them to be with Virginia and Audrey respectively.
After that, Evan asked the four of them to go out first, and then read the plan submitted by Vidak.
That's about twenty minutes.
During this time, Vidak remained in a standing position with his feet crossed.
"Hmm...... After Vidak" finished reading, Evan was about to start a discussion with Vidak, when he saw that he was still standing, he pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit down first, you are standing like this, not the way you should discuss work." ”
Vidak sat down, his upper body erect, his hands on his thighs, and he sat in an upright position.
Evan looked at Vidak, who had a military style in everything he said and did, and suddenly looked more and more pleasing to the eye.
This may be a sense of intimacy transferred from the people's soldiers.
After being distracted for a while, Evan quickly returned to his normal state: "Vidak, you want to formalize the security business, formalize the training base, and add a new security consulting business?"
Vidak nodded: "Yes!"
"I'll see...... Potential customers for the security business: Hollywood stars, tycoons, potential customers for training bases: police, military......" Evan flipped through the plan, stroked his fingers on it, and suddenly looked up and asked, "How did you come up with this?"
Vedak replied without concealment, "Part of it is the inspiration of Evan your needs, and part of it is the advice of Raymond Oberman and Bob. ”
"Raymond, who was following Miss Audrey, discovered that there are many stars in Hollywood who are constantly facing situations that need to be guarded......"
Evan nodded, and asked again, "What did Bob say?"
Vidak replied: "Bob has given training to the police, and he feels that the government must invest more in the police force when there have been signs of deterioration in law and order in Los Angeles recently......
Evan understands the deterioration of law and order in Los Angeles for a number of reasons, the most important of which is the growing number of people who are out of work from outside.
However, Bob was able to think of an official response from the deterioration of law and order, and then make this suggestion in advance...... This made Evan have a big impression of this cold-faced man who doesn't like to read books and only likes to read comics.
Evan shook his head, shook the incomparably disobedient Bob out of his mind, and then asked, "Tell me, what would you do if I agreed to invest?"
"I will establish a sound training system to provide customers with a full range of protection ......"
Vidak was clearly well prepared and spoke with a smooth mind and no stumbles, but when it came to how to expand its customers, Vidak didn't do as well as before.
That's all I have to say. ”
With that, Vedak looked at Evan nervously, waiting for him to make a final decision.
Vidak is only forty-five years old, and despite numerous setbacks, his entrepreneurial spirit is still very strong.
Since he couldn't continue in the army, he wanted to make a difference in the civilian industry.
Now it's up to Evan to give him a chance.
After pondering for a long time, Evan finally spoke under Vidak's nervous gaze, "Regarding your plan, I agree in principle!"
"Really!"
Vidak was overjoyed.
"I have two conditions, though. Evan added.
"You say, Evan!"
"First, it's the amount of investment, by the way, let me ask first, how much money do I have left for you in front of you?"
Vidak thought for a moment and replied, "There are about forty thousand dollars left." ”
"Forty thousand...... In this case, I will add another $100,000 to you to prioritize the training ground and allow you to expand the security team to thirty people. ”
"Thirty, Evan, is that too little?"
Evan shook his head and said, "It's a lot, and every extra person means an extra expense." ”
"My second requirement is that you have to find yourself a deputy, who can speak well and can bring business to the company. ”
Vedak showed an embarrassed expression when he heard this: "This ......"
Evan said categorically: "This is a hard condition, Vidak, your specialty lies in training and business expertise, dealing with customers, you can't!"
Vidak had no choice but to bow his head slightly reluctantly, and said, "Okay, I promise to do it, and I'll let Carl help recruit people when I go back." ”
"In that case, I'll let Carl get the capital injection done as soon as possible. ”
"Wait a minute, you take those two to Virginia's side and give them an account of their work. ”
"As for Isla and Simran, I'll take them to Raymond in a minute. You tell them to wait outside the door. ”
"Yes!" Vidak stood up, "Then I'll go first!"
Evan waved his hand and said, "Go ahead......"
"Wait!"
Vedak had barely taken a few steps when Evan suddenly shouted again.
"Consulting business, especially government-related business, should not be done first. ”
"Also, do a good job of checking the background of the security personnel, and it is best not to have people associated with red. ”
This aspect is too sensitive in the context of the confrontation between democracy and freedom, and Evan does not want to be brought to a former lawyer with the same name as a dam by someone in an F.B.I. uniform.
Vidak nodded, indicating that he understood. Then, after making sure that Evan had nothing more to say, he pushed the door open.
After a while, Evan himself walked out of the room and took the two strong women in the car and rushed to Hollywood.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Evan returned to the cabin in the woods, and before he could get out of the car, he saw a man sitting on the steps in front of the house, with a denim bag at his feet.
Perhaps hearing the sound of a car engine, the man looked up, and Evan exclaimed in surprise, "Girard, why did he come to Los Angeles?"
