Evan tells Colin not to worry about the money, but in reality he can guarantee that the funds provided are limited.

Although in the past year, SONY TV of Applied Physical Systems Company and various toys of Magic Seven Company have made him a lot of money, but he actually has not much at his disposal, because they have all set a place.

For example, the expansion and R&D of Applied Physical Systems, such as his new toy application semiconductors.

Others became shares in Bank of America.

Therefore, the funds that can actually be used to lay out the four seasons in advance and reserve high-quality land are very limited.

However, although the money is small, what needs to be done still has to be done.

Because, compared with the risky investment and R&D he is doing, as long as he is not blind, buying land is definitely a business that only makes money and does not lose money.

Why is that?

This is because, in the first two decades after World War II, the United States, like China after its accession to the WTO, was a country with rapid economic growth.

During this period, the pivot of American life shifted from production to consumption, from physical labor to mental labor, from adults to children, and from old urban neighborhoods to suburban neighborhoods.

During this period, the number of rural Americans was greatly reduced, while the number of people who owned a single home increased rapidly, and later even surpassed the number of renters.

During this period, real estate experienced more than two decades of growth, until the price of land and houses peaked in 1973.

In other words, before the turning point, Evan can buy the land with confidence.

Of course, Evan doesn't know the U.S. economy to this extent, and therefore doesn't know the "historical" cycle of the U.S. real estate industry. But his target is the real estate around the central airport and the core business district of the big city where the hotel is suitable for the construction of the risk, so even if he doesn't know this, Evan dares to boldly carry out his plan.

……

After sending Colin away, Evan spent Saturday alone.

On Sunday afternoon, he went to Joseph's house and brought Audrey back.

No way, from Saturday afternoon to the next morning, he received calls from Nina, Virginia, Dorothy and others, asking about him and Audrey. Evan would explain patiently at first, but then he understood that if he didn't pick people up, he would probably be annoyed by his family.

When he picked up Audrey back, it was Evan who drove his own car. On the way, Evan said to Audrey, half jokingly and half complaining: "Audrey, you see, you are not Mrs. Warren now, you are more valued by your family than me, if you do, my current position will definitely not be guaranteed." ”

Audrey glanced at Evan with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and said gloatingly: "Don't blame me, who made me more likable than you?"

"You know, I talk to Dorothy and Nina a lot more times a week than you do. ”

Hearing this, Evan exaggeratedly said, "Wow, you sycophant!"

Then, Evan was mercilessly sanctioned.

A few minutes later, the car stopped at the door of the house, and the first thing Evan did when he got out of the car was to lift his T-shirt, and after glancing at his waist, he yelled at Audrey: "Audrey, Audrey, you vicious woman!"

Audrey squinted and said, "Okay, it's not a serious injury, manly, a little bigger." ”

With that, Audrey pushed open the iron gate of the courtyard and walked inside.

"I don't care, just say it, how are you going to compensate me. ”

Evan followed, his right hand on Audrey's shoulder, and his tone was more like a begging for compensation than a coquette.

Audrey let Evan's fiery flesh press on her shoulder, but instead of answering his words, she naturally changed the subject and said, "What do you eat at night, do you still have food at home?"

"I don't know, it's gone. ”

"Should it?" Audrey glanced at Evan dissatisfiedly, and then twisted her grip on the doorknob and pushed the door in: "Forget it, I'll take a look first, and then decide whether to buy it or not." ”

"Purchase, I'll go with you!"

"Okay. ”

After a few minutes, after confirming that the refrigerator was empty, Audrey took a basket and threw it to Evan to use as labor, and was about to go out when the phone rang.

Evan answered the phone, and after listening to a few words, he covered the microphone and said apologetically to Audrey: "Sorry, Audrey, wait for someone to come, so ......"

Audrey shook her head: "It's okay, I'll do it by myself." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out the door.

The call was from the CAA, for the promise Evan had made the other day.

Less than ten minutes after talking, the other party's people came.

There were two people who came.

One was the one who had just called, the manager of CAA's project planning department, Nate Owen, a middle-aged man with a bare head.

The other is Jack Warner.

Evan was a little surprised that Jack came over at this time.

"Why do you have time to come over, isn't the next movie about to start shooting?"

"I'm a producer, not a director! Besides, the movie is still casting, and it's not time to get busy. Jack Warner sat down on the sofa casually, and then urged with an impatient look: "Don't talk about this, what about the plan you promised?"

Jack Warner said as he held out his hand to Evan.

"What's the hurry? don't you put it there, see for yourself!" Evan pointed to the coffee table, on which there were three manuscripts of different thicknesses, and then said to Nate Owen, who came to the door for the first time and looked a little reserved, "Please sit down, you're welcome." ”

Of course, Jack Warner, who was on the table, saw it, and when he heard Evan's words, he immediately grabbed the one closest to him, and said as he opened it: "That's right, Nate, don't be too polite at the boss's house." ”

Nate smiled innocently, and then slowly sat down on the sofa opposite Jack, but his eyes were staring at the manuscript in Jack's hand without blinking.

Evan smiled when he saw this, and then handed Nate one of the two manuscripts on the table.

Nate was stunned for a moment, and didn't take it immediately.

"You're a planning manager, right?"

Hearing Evan's words, Nate quickly took the manuscript and flipped through it.

It has been less than ten years since the birth of the TV network, and the commercial operation has only been less than five years, so neither the program duration, program content nor program form has been perfected. And these are not difficult at all for Evan, who has been bombarded with all kinds of entertainment.

The first of the three manuscripts prepared by Evan represented different formats of the program. They are TV shopping, quiz variety shows, and sitcoms. Of the three, Evan has the most detailed description of TV shopping, followed by a variety show, and as for the sitcom, Evan just briefly stated the concept and provided a setting that could be expanded.

After reading the three plans, Jack and Nate exchanged views, glanced at each other, and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.

Obviously, they all felt that Evan's idea was worth trying.
